Chapter 903 Naval Wharf
Just when the court strictly guarded the attacking troops of the three Tiger and Leopard Army troops in front of the court, besieging tens of thousands of Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas behind him.》.》
The 30,000 soldiers of the First Army have boarded more than 100 warships assembled by the Shanghai Army, slashing the waves and sailing towards the coast of Jiangnan.
As a land duck who doesn't know how to water, Wang Feng, the commander of the First Army, was not in a good mood since he boarded the warship.
After finally getting used to it for two days, he ate something. The arrival of a storm once again gave him the original feeling when he first got on the boat. He vomited all the things he had just eaten into his stomach without any surprise.
When the storm at the sea finally calmed down, the warship was not shaking so violently.
Wang Feng, who was pale in his face because of continuous vomiting, directly found the commander-in-chief of the navy and asked with a worried look: "Commander Wang, how long will it take to get to the landing site? Brother, I haven't eaten a grain of rice in two days. If this continues, even if we reach the landing site, it will take a long time to restore our combat effectiveness..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed quickly on his face, and the commander-in-chief of the navy standing in front of Wang Feng did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Captain Wang, the fleet has just passed the estuary of the Yangtze River. At least three hours, that is, tonight, we can reach the landing site..."
"Three hours... It's great, I can finally log in..." After I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Feng finally squeezed out a smile from the bottom of his heart on his pale face.
More than one hundred warships were along the coastline and closer to the landing point.
In a dense forest less than ten miles away from the landing site, three thousand tiger and leopard guerrillas holding various weapons were lurking here, quietly waiting for the night to come.
Half a year ago, the guerrilla captain Xiang Hu was just a company commander in the Tiger and Leopard Army.
After half a year of development, the total guerrilla force directly changed from the original ten people to the current three thousand.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, when he returns to the Tiger and Leopard Army, his rank will directly change from captain to colonel and become the captain of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
At this moment, he was leading all the soldiers who could take action in the guerrillas to take down the ferry in front of him in the shortest time.
Because only with a ferry can the navy's huge warships dock, and the heavy artillery equipped by the first army can successfully land.
A pier that allows large warships to dock is definitely not a small pier.
The dock in front of us, which is about to be attacked by guerrillas, is no exception.
As a former Fujian Navy station of the imperial court, there was absolutely no problem with the naval warships equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Therefore, when choosing the landing site, this navy resident became Wang Feng's first choice.
However, as the garrison of the Fujian Navy of the imperial court, even though the imperial navy could not compete with the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy, a large number of troops were still stationed.
Especially the artillery, in order to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Navy from directly attacking the dock, the new red-clothed cannons that the court spent a lot of money to build was not available on warships. Now they are all placed on the forts of several garrisons of the imperial Navy stations to serve as shore defense forts.
This is also the specific reason why the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy beat the imperial navy into a turtle and did not take advantage of the opportunity to take over the imperial navy's garrison and completely control the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River.
After all, those red-clothed cannons with thickened and lengthened gun barrels have exceeded the naval guns equipped on the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy warships in terms of effective range.
But now it's different.
Although the naval guns equipped on the Navy Warship of the Tiger and Leopard Army still remain unchanged, they are not the opponent of the imperial shore defense artillery.
However, after half a year of development, the Tiger and Leopard Army guerrillas that were active around the Navy Wharf had the ability to defeat him.
Although the power of shore defense artillery is very powerful, there is no exception for these shore defense artillery. All of them face the sea and cannot carry out artillery fire attacks behind the dock. Otherwise, these shore defense artillery alone would be enough for the guerrillas with a weight of 3,000 people to suffer heavy losses before they approached the dock.
After all, the guerrillas are not the main force of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and do not have large-scale equipment of artillery like the main force of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
The guerrillas in front of me had more than 3,000 people in the Tiger and Leopard Army. If it weren't for the successful ambushing of a new imperial army of thousands of people a few months ago, the entire guerrillas might have been less than 500 of them.
Of course, this guerrilla team now has more than 1,200 musketeers.
In addition, the team leader Xiang Hu had been training muskets for more than three months, and it was already possible to use musket arrays to suppress the musketeers in the imperial navy in a short period of time...
As long as more than a thousand musketeers under his command attracted all the eyes and forces of the imperial navy.
The remaining guerrillas' more than a thousand swords, shields and spearmen can quickly approach the dock, rush into the dock, and fight close-range with the imperial naval musketeers equipped with musketeers...
Xiang Hu was confident and fought close-range battles with the imperial naval militia who were not good at or even had never trained to fight with weapons. Even if his troops were not as powerful as the other party, the final victory would still belong to him.
With the anxious waiting of the three thousand guerrilla soldiers, the huge pier was finally shrouded in the night.
As the bonfires rose on the pier, the pier was illuminated again. Xiang Hu's serious and anxious face finally flashed a smile.
He decisively ordered the subordinates who were already waiting a little impatiently...
"Start the action and head toward the dock..."
The distance of ten miles is only a blink of an eye for the guerrillas that are marching fast.
Because of holding a torch, when the guerrillas were still three hundred steps away from the pier, the harsh alarm began to sound at the pier.
Then, a group of naval musketeers rushed out of the dock and formed a series of musketeers around the dock. At a glance, at least two thousand musketeers were blocking the guerrillas.
Faced with this situation, Xiang Hu's face not only showed any worry or nervous expressions. Instead, he was just like taking stimulants, and ordered with excitement: "The musketeers continued to move forward, and after approaching the other party, they used muskets to shoot against them... Some of our muskets are new muskets, and the casualties that hit them will definitely be far more than us..."
"The sword and shield master is very popular, and he will immediately disperse and hide... After the gunfire sounds, he quickly approached the dock, rushed in, occupied the dock, and surpassed the retreat of the imperial naval militia musketeers..."
"Start action..."
Because of the importance of military discipline by the Tiger and Leopard Army, although more than a thousand musketeers only have a few months of training, they can already implement orders.
