The waves crashed round by round on the side of the ship, and the smashing waves scattered and splashed in all directions. The wind and waves in October were a little strong, and Li Xiu stood on the Jianqiao like nails. Looking at Penglai Port in the moonlight in the distance, you can see three fortresses in the telescope, protecting Penglai Port in a zigzag shape.

This is the biggest obstacle to attacking Penglai Port, and Chen Haibao relied on these three support points to repel the attack of Tokugawa Katsuyori.

The background sound of the waves was complicated, but Li Xiu could still faintly hear the barking of dogs. By the light of the bonfire, Li Xiu could even see the longing of the people in the port. According to the intelligence, there were 3,300 elites of the Chen family in the port.

They were armed not only with muskets produced in Phi Dao, but also with mortar grenades. The first people to land would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and when he thought of what Li Hu was going to face, Li Xiu's heart felt like a flame was burning.

The pocket watch clicked, the sound of the sea water lapping against the hull became louder and louder, and the shaking of the hull became more and more violent.

The tide was punctual, and at ten o'clock in the evening the sea began to be unsettled. The waves began to get bigger, and the roaring sound of the waves seemed to roll in from the sky. The moon was large, but the sea was still dark in the distance. At this moment, the vastness of the sea is terrifying.

"Arrival! Artillery preparation, calculation of corps ranges. Li Xiu began to give orders. His flagship pulled up the iron anchor and slowly slid into the harbor with his sails half-open. Liu Laoliu then followed, and the two ships rushed to the port with the tide one after the other.

"Left Rudder Three!" Chen Laohu looked nervously at the sea conditions in front of him, Penglai Port had been in and out many times, and he was very familiar with this place. But today, when commanding the entry into the port, Chen Laohu was still nervous and sweaty. Tides can inundate many reefs, but if there is something wrong with the route, it is still possible to touch a relatively large reef.

At this time, I don't dare to make any mistakes. In order to lay down Penglai Port, the leading boss sent his own brother out to take the lead. It was a life of nine deaths, and if something went wrong here, Chen Laohu felt that it would be more enjoyable to jump into the sea by himself.

"Report, five miles from the port." The rangefinder reported loudly.

"Left full rudder! The commanders of each gun prepared, calculated the angle and began the test firing. Li Xiu gave an order, and the flagship had a left full rudder. A large row of black hole guns was aimed at the fortress on the shore.

"Launch!" Li Xiu gave an order, and the hull of the ship began to shake violently.

Shells whistled down on the moonlit fortress.

"How did you get it!" Inside the telescope, Li Xiu saw that only three or four shells had exploded on the fortress. That is, seventy percent of the shells did not hit the target.

"Second master! It's already good, it's night and the sight is bad. Even during the day, it's a little hard to hit the starter. Chen Laohu pouted, and it was already good to have three percent of the starters. This master is not satisfied!

"Loading, the hull turns around. The artillery on the other side is test-fired! Li Xiu gave an order indifferently.

The big ship began to turn its bow, and soon the guns on the other side began to test fire. This time, the hit rate was better, reaching around 40%.

Looking at the constant flashes of fire on the fortress, it didn't seem to do much damage. A thought suddenly flashed into Li Xiu's mind: "! Who the fuck sells cement to ......! ”

The latter words were swallowed into his stomach, who would dare to sell the cement without Li Xiao.

"Closer, salvo! Closing the distance can add some preambulation. The other party's fortress was actually a cement brick wall, which made Li Xiu very worried about Li Hu after he went ashore. Now it will be interesting to see if the salvo can cause serious damage to the fortress. If he can't, Li Xiu is already ready to ask Li Xiao to use the arsenal ship.

And that's the only thing that can ignore the reinforced concrete fortress.

"Second master! The opponent has a cannon, and if you get too close, you will be hit by the opponent's cannon. Chen Laohu looked at Li Xiu in surprise, is this second master crazy?

"Throw you into the sea with more nonsense!" Li Xiu's face sank, and Chen Laohu immediately didn't dare to squeak again.

The ships moved forward, the salvo was more powerful, and a large swarm of shells crashed into the fortress like a hornet. Each cannonball emitted orange flames in the silver moonlight.

Broken fragments flew in the air, and Li Xiu could even see some people running around.

It seems that the elite of the Chen family is nothing more than that. In this kind of shelling, the best thing to do is to find a fortification to squat in, instead of running around. Running around during the shelling is basically death.

A group of shells was really powerful, and the strong fortress was blown to pieces. Suddenly, the fortress was lit with fire. Li Xiu's heart immediately tightened, this kind of muzzle flash was very familiar to him. To increase the hit rate, he has come too close.

"Huh!" Just a hundred and ten paces in front of the flagship, there was the sound of cannonballs entering the water.

Thankfully, the range of the Franc cannon was too low. I couldn't get to Li Xiu's flagship, otherwise the battleship would definitely be pierced through two holes at this time. Li Xiu was not afraid of hitting the side of the ship, he was afraid of hitting the mast. Losing power and not being able to sail is the nightmare of a warship.

Before Li Xiu could be happy for two seconds, a column of water rose not far from the side of the "bang" ship.

"! Mortar! "I was so wet with the sea water that was rising. There was a "bang" and "bang" sound on the side of the ship, and I don't know how many shelnel hit the hull.

Fortunately, the mortar shell exploded in the water, and the shrapnel became much less powerful when it came out of the water.

"Sail to the southwest, go serpentine." Li Xiao gave an order, and the helmsman began to turn quickly. The ship began to move in a serpentine position, dodging mortar attacks. Mortars are okay for hitting fixed targets, but moving targets are mainly relied on. The ship is in a serpentine position, and after playing with mortars for so long, Li Xiu is too familiar with this thing.

Liu Lao Liu on the second ship was not so lucky, and the mortar shells whizzed and smashed onto the deck. Two sailors, who were adjusting the sails, were immediately blown into the sea by shells. A hole the size of a washbasin had been blown up in the deck, and several sailors fell to the deck screaming and wailing as the scattered sawdust and shrapnel caused secondary damage.

"Back off, back off." Liu Lao Liu didn't say a word, and let the helmsman turn the rudder and retreat.

"Hit! Fucking good, reward! Chen Haibao raised the big ring knife in his hand, and almost jumped up with excitement. It was originally a matter of a blind cat touching a dead mouse, but I didn't expect it to really hit.

The gunners were so happy that they almost fainted, and the mortar shells were expensive. It's good for a gunner to shoot three or two rounds a year, and now he actually hits the enemy's warship, and I have to say that this luck is really good.

"Second master! Liu Lao Liu's boat was hit! Mortar shells kept falling around, and Chen Laohu took the coat and put it on Li Xiu.

"Leave them alone, order the artillery to continue firing. Bombardment of the northeast corner battery! "Li Xiu won't retreat if he is killed now, if he doesn't kill those damn fortresses, maybe when he sees Li Hu again tomorrow, he will be an unconscious corpse.

"No!" Chen Laohu immediately got into the cabin and gave the order.

"Big boss, Liu Laoliu's battleship was damaged, and now he has begun to retreat. Look, a lump of ...... or not! ”

"Tell Ao Canghai that the attack of a regiment will be delayed by half an hour. Let the second child bombard them for a while, and I see that the fort in the northeast corner is about to collapse. There is a landing ground for a regiment, and when that fortress is finished, the casualties of a regiment will be much smaller.

Send a herald to tell Tokugawa Katsuyori that the outside fence has been put in. Not a single mouse is allowed to leak out to Lao Tzu, this time Lao Tzu must be wiped out. "This is just the beginning of the battle, and my capital ship was injured. Li Xiao can be sure that the mortars he sold to Chen Hailong should be almost all here.

With the power of mortars, it is impossible to blow up and sink Liu Laoliu's ship. The man-made warships of the Dutch were far stronger than the tatters of the Japanese people.

This elite must be killed before Chen Hailong reacts, and communication basically relies on roaring in these years. Chen Hailong, who was far away in Jinan City, didn't know that it was no longer the Japanese soldiers who attacked Penglai, but Li Xiao's descendant of the First Division of Liaodong.

Li Xiu constantly ordered the battleship to rotate, not only dodging artillery fire, but also using the guns on the side to counterattack. Three salvos were fired in a row, and finally the large fortress in the northeast corner was reduced to a large ruin. Reinforced concrete, twisted like a twist.

"Turn to the southwest corner of the shell fire!" See that the northeast corner fort has been destroyed. Li Xiu immediately ordered a change of course, and rows of cannons were aimed at the slightly smaller southwest corner battery.

"Hurry up!" Li Xiu took out his pocket watch and saw that the time was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Second master! The message of the big boss came, and the attack of the regiment was delayed for half an hour. Make sure you level the southwest corner battery and open a gap for a group. The herald ran over and shouted loudly.

"Got it! Salvo at the southwest corner battery! ”

There are a lot of big ships parked on the surface of the sea now, which is funny to say. A few years ago, these big ships were still Chen Hailong's transport ships, and Li Xiao relied on the head of the Tartar to exchange them.

Groups of soldiers were climbing down the rope ladder, and from time to time there were artillery explosions in the distance. All the soldiers saw that their artillery fire was exploding like locusts on the local batteries.

"Fuck, that's fucking exciting. But why do we wear such iron hats? Li Hu spat and was very dissatisfied with the iron bump on his head. This thing has a good steel mouth, and it is a little heavy on the head, but the eldest brother said that it can save his life, so there is no problem.

Everyone on the battlefield wants to get wealth and money, and they want to live to bring it with them.

"What's the noise, your eldest brother asked Dai. Say what prevents fragmentation injuries? Master Tiger, just bear with it. "The black bull was the first to go down to the sampan, and he was responsible for pulling every soldier on the sampan.

There were a hundred and ten ships floating on the sea, and sampans collected from all over the place. Eight or nine people can sit on a sampan, and there are some small ships of 1,000 materials, following behind the sampan.

Li Hu knew that those ships were loaded with mortars. Don't look at the harmless appearance of people and animals now, when you board the beachhead, the most important fire support comes from these ships.

When the time comes, the fired shells will smash through. If you don't die, you have to be disabled!

"Why didn't the ship move?" Li Hu suddenly found that the boat seemed to be just drifting with the current, and the boat boss did not try to row the boat.

"The order of the big boss, our regiment postponed the landing by half an hour. So, we had to stay in the water and disappear halfway. What's the hour? "For the concept of hours, Black Bull has never heard of it at all.

"The scale on the pocket watch, an hour is almost an hour. Count the rest! ”

Hei Niu listened to Li Hu's words and sat down in the cabin. Decide not to talk to this rich kid!

"Woo...... Whining......! "The trumpet of the charge blew on the sea.

"Brothers, come on!" The black bull stood up violently, and the big hand like a fan waved forward, and was pushed down.

Hearing the low sound of the horn, Li Xiu's nerves became more and more tense. The southwest corner fort is very strong, and it relies on the convenient location. Li Xiu gnawed for almost an hour, but he couldn't collapse this fort?

"One more salvo, and I'll definitely fucking blow up the fort." When Li Xiu roared, a mortar shell grazed the mast and flew over. Thankfully, I didn't hit the mast. If the mast is blown up, it will be a big problem.

"Brother Xiao! Huzi has gone down to the first echelon. Is that really it? Ao Canghai walked to Li Xiao's side, and now is the last chance to stop.

"Let them see the blood, know what a real fight is, and always rely on weapons to bully people, how can they do it? Besides, the equipment we sold to Chen Hailong is not enough to equip 3,000 people. Many people on the shore are now armed with machetes. They are good at forming formations when they charge, and they are even more troublesome than Nurhachi in Houjin. ”

"Collapsed!" The tiger master pointed excitedly into the distance, and the boat had begun to smoke just now when it was fenced with rough wood.

Li Hu knew that this was the water ghost's doing. If you live nine dead and live one directly, it is estimated that the price of gloves is about the same

"Help row, we're going to be the first to hit the beach." The black bull roared, and everyone consciously began to paddle with everything they could use. The sampan was like an arrow and rushed over the beach.

"Second master! Collapsed! "Chen Laohu is now sweating all over his neck.

"It's collapsing, it's all the fuss."
