Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh artillery battle

"I will order the Navy Fleet to continue training..."

"Chain the entire harbor immediately, except for the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army, everyone else dispersed..."

"Two heavy artillery regiments that had arrived at the harbor quickly deployed artillery positions along the port line... As long as the imperial navy fleet enters the "fire" range, fire the artillery immediately and disperse it..."

"The last one, in order to ensure the foolproof of the port and the navy fleet, you immediately contact the infantry division and cavalry division that have arrived in Dengzhou... transfer all the artillery with a caliber caliber of medium-sized mortars and above to the harbor to prevent the imperial fleet from breaking through the interception of the two heavy artillery regiments..."

The deputy general was stunned and it took him a long time to react from the shock.

He asked Li Xinlong, who looked murderous intent in front of him, and said, "Commander... do you want to?"

"Give our navy fleet time to train. Of course, it is also to ensure the safety of the harbour."

"Although the imperial fleet is huge, with hundreds of artillery pieces. However, among these artillery pieces, the longest-range red cannons equipped by the imperial court. However, this kind of red cannon is not an opponent in front of our cannons, and only passively get beaten..."

"As long as the imperial navy in front of us does not have the idea of ​​fighting with us, the cannons of heavy artillery regiments far exceeds the "firing" range of the red-clothed cannons. It is absolutely possible that before the imperial navy enters the "firing" range of the red-clothed cannons, several imperial warships will be destroyed and the imperial navy will be repelled..."

Under the infection of Li Xinlong's confident face, the worries and doubts on the deputy general's face also disappeared.

After some hesitation, he replied excitedly: "The last general is responsible... I will contact the commander of the two field divisions. We will try to send the artillery units of the two divisions to you in the shortest time."

If a warship composed of hundreds of warships is seen from the air, it will be like a black cloud, pressing towards the Dengzhou military port.

Perhaps it was because the court generals who commanded this navy were confident and defending the Tiger and Leopard Army of Dengzhou Harbor. Although they formed a temporary naval fleet, this navy fleet could definitely be considered vulnerable in front of them. The vast "storm" and "storm" court navy fleet did not take the Dengzhou Harbor, which was getting closer and closer to them, into consideration.

More than a hundred warships were rushing towards Dengzhou Harbor as if they were entering a no-man.

As the crowd dispersed, a large number of Tiger and Leopard Army artillery units entered the harbor. The atmosphere of the harbor also became solemn.

Especially the huge body of the imperial warship was clearly displayed in front of everyone. The already solemn atmosphere of the harbor became even more solemn at this moment.

Among the thousands of gunners, old gunners with combat experience. Although they looked solemn and were full of concern about the artillery battle that was about to break out. However, the military law that had already penetrated into their bones still urged them to set up artillery in an orderly manner to make final preparations for the artillery battle that was about to begin.

But those newbies who have never experienced battles are less courageous.

Facing the formation that I had never seen before, facing the huge body of the warship, and facing the vast darkness of the sea, the imperial warships that could not be counted.

Many people's solemn expressions on their faces were replaced by paleness. What's more, some people's hands and legs have begun to tremble due to tension.

Faced with this situation, officers and veteran gunners scattered among thousands of people knew that only battles and victory could dispel the tension in these people's hearts and turn them into real warriors.

Therefore, the vast and swaying imperial warship had just entered the cannon firing range, and the order to fire the cannon roared out from the mouths of the two heavy artillery regiment commanders.

Then, all kinds of fire orders came from the mouth of the battalion commander

Scream.

Under these commands, the gunner holding the torch quickly ignited the tail of the gun barrel and the fuse that stretched out from the barrel chamber. As the fuse ignited, the spark slowly disappeared from the tail of the gun barrel. A series of deafening roars sounded like thunder, sounded in the harbor.

"Boom boom boom..." Amid the violent explosion, more than a hundred flowering bullets flew out of the cannon chamber with a whistling sound. Then, with a unique whistling sound, they flew to the sea, two or three miles away from him.

I don’t know if it was because the gunner was too nervous or because the imperial navy had not yet entered the "firing" range. More than 100 flowering bullets, none of them hit the target, and all landed on the sea dozens of steps in front of the imperial navy.

The flowering bullet exploded, and more than one hundred thick water columns rose from the sea amid the explosion of the flowering bullet, forming a dense net of water columns in front of the imperial naval fleet.

Under such circumstances, the imperial navy was indeed shocked by the formation generated by more than 100 flowering bullets. However, when they saw clearly that no one of the more than 100 flowering bullets hit the target, the shock in the hearts of the imperial navy generals was directly covered by ridicule.

Yes, it's just a mockery, and there's no accurate "fire" technique for the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery.

However, at this moment, they all ignored one problem, that is, the Tiger and Leopard Army cannons far exceed the firing range of the red-clothed cannon. And they are destined to lose their lives because of their neglect and ridicule.

Just as more than one hundred imperial warships continued to rush towards Dengzhou Harbor unstoppable, the second round of flowering bullets fired by two heavy artillery regiments came to their heads with a roar.

At this time, more than one hundred flowering bullets returned without fail.

The three lucky ships equipped by the imperial court that rushed in the front were directly hit by seven or eight of them.

You should know that these shells are flowering shells, not solid shells equipped by the imperial navy.

As for the warships equipped by the imperial court, they were not iron-shelled warships from later generations, but wooden warships.

How can the already dry warship material withstand the attack of flowering bullets?

Therefore, when the first flowering bullet fell on the deck of the warship and exploded, the thick warship deck was directly blown out of a big hole. Not only that, the wood at the gap in the deck was ignited by the fireball generated by the explosion of the flowering bullet.

Of course, this is just the destruction of the warship by the flowering bullets.

The flowering bullet exploded, and the large number of shell fragments produced were like an iron storm, sweeping towards the surrounding imperial naval officers and soldiers.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen officers and soldiers gathered on the deck of the warship and were still at the point of blooming and bounced around the point of the flowering bullet. They threw themselves on the deck of the warship with screams, and their lives and deaths were unknown...

Just as the remaining imperial army of the warship looked at the big hole with a fire on the deck, with shock, the second flowering bullet was already coming to their heads again with a whistling sound.

More importantly, this flowering bullet fell on the strings of the boat.

The flowering bullet exploded, and the ship string was blown out with a huge gap, which spread directly to the hull below the waterline of the warship. So, the inexhaustible sea water was like a flood of a dam that quickly poured into the ship's warehouse. In a blink of an eye, the huge lucky ship began to tilt due to the influx of a large amount of sea water.

Two warships were also bombarded. As for the results of these two warships, they were even more tragic than the one in front of them. One of the warships was directly bombed into two pieces, and the other warships were bombed with two huge gaps. In just one cup of tea, they were buried in the sea because a large amount of sea water poured into the ship's warehouse.

In a blink of an eye, three lucky ships disappeared, and more than a hundred imperial naval troops were struggling on the sea with screams, waiting for rescue.

However, in this crisis of life and death, will anyone rescue these officers and soldiers who fell into the water? The answer is yes.

Because, the moment when the three imperial naval majestic ships were buried in the sea one after another, the third and even the fourth round of flowering bullets swept towards them like it was raining.

When another warship was blown into two pieces amid the explosion of the flowering bombs. The nearly 100 warships left by the imperial navy, facing death and the flowering bombs falling on the sea, directly lost the courage to continue fighting and began to retreat under the command of their respective generals.

However, warships are not war horses, and the sea is not land.

It takes a long distance for war horses to truly turn around and retreat, not to mention the naval warship that has a huge hull with thirty or forty battles.

Therefore, although the retreat orders from generals at all levels of the Navy were issued, nearly a hundred imperial warships still rode the wind and waves and continued to march towards Dengzhou Harbour.

The closer they were to Dengzhou Harbor, the accurate heads of the flowering bullets fired by the heavy artillery regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army became more and more accurate.

More importantly, several consecutive imperial warships were sunk. This result was like a dose of stimulant for the soldiers of the 2,000 heavy artillery regiments, which slowly stabilized the morale of the 2,000 gunners.

With morale as these gunners "fired" the correct heads of the flowering bullets became better and better.

Looking at the imperial naval fleet that was getting closer and closer to the harbor, the two thousand gunners were even more excited than taking stimulants. Without the command of the superior, they tried their best to shoot flowering bullets at the target as fast as possible.

Nearly a hundred imperial warships finally turned around on the sea and were preparing to retreat, eight warships had been buried at the bottom of the sea one after another.

However, even if they successfully turn the bow of the ship and withdraw the effective shooting range of the Tiger and Leopard Army cannon. They need to withstand at least five rounds of the Tiger and Leopard Army flowering bullets.

However, no one knows how many imperial warships will be buried in the sea before us after these five rounds of flowering bullets.

Amid the rumbling cannons, the imperial navy finally withdrew from the battlefield.
