Under the rule of the Qing Empire, Guangzhou had become a huge seaport.
The population in the city is crowded with each other, and the harbor outside the city is lined with ships.
But today, a war was taking place in the originally bustling Guangzhou Bay.
There are mainly three parties participating in the war.
In Tianqi Kingdom, Zhang Shun's Tianlong Army and Zheng Yisao's pirate army.
A combined navy organized by the Qing Empire, the Nanyang Fleet, the Fujian Fleet, and the Guangdong Fleet.
The Tang Empire, the millions of Tang navy led by General Su Dingfang.
The specific battle situation is.
The three fleets under the Qing Empire, Nanyang, Fujian, and Guangdong, were blocked in Guangzhou Bay by the Tianlong Army led by Zhang Shun and the Tang Navy led by Su Dingfang.
Although the Tianlong Army only has 200,000 soldiers, its ships are strong and its artillery is powerful.
He is also assisted by Zheng Yisao's 500,000 pirate army, so his power is not small at all.
Although the Tang Navy led by Su Dingfang had the smallest ships among the three parties.
In terms of fleet equipment, the Tang Navy has the most complete fleet types.
Although they don't have artillery,...
In addition to the commonly used knives, swords, spears, guns, bows, crossbows and other common equipment for the army and navy, the main weapons of the Tang Dynasty navy also included winch crossbows, shooting rods, artillery carts and supporting arrows, stones and other naval weapons.
Gun carriage, extremely catapult.
The winch crossbow was the trump card weapon of the Tang Empire.
"Tongdian Bing Er" records, "The winch crossbow is used for attacking city fortresses with seven hundred steps (approximately one thousand meters).
This crossbow is not used to kill enemies, but to attack cities.
A giant twelve-stone crossbow is mounted on a winch and can fire seven arrows at the same time. It is powerful and has a long range. The arrows it fires will "destroy all the fortresses it hits."
Of course, this is still recorded in ancient books.
After coming back, the winch crossbows of the Tang Empire will definitely become more powerful.
As for the three remaining navies of the Qing Empire in Nanyang, Fujian, and Guangdong, they are currently huddled together to keep warm and shivering.
The news of Nurhachi's death in battle has not yet reached him.
Naturally, they want to show their last loyalty to the country.
Although the three fleets of Nanyang, Fujian and Guangdong are not as powerful as the Beiyang Fleet.
But together they are a powerful force.
Although their arms are not special, they are still elite in naval warfare.
It's just that there are a lot of enemies now. How can Zheng Yisao, a powerful ghost and god realm, not make them tremble when she shows her aura.
"I am Su Dingfang, the general of the Tang Empire! Why don't you retreat quickly!"
Su Dingfang stood on the side of the ship and looked at Zhang Shun across from him with great pride.
So what if there are strong people in the ghost and god realm?
Although he, Su Dingfang, was only a half-step ghost and god, he thought he had the power to fight against ghosts and gods.
What's more, his emperor is now in the Qing Empire, which provides Su Dingfang with huge confidence!
"What about the Tang Empire?"
Zhang Shun was not afraid at all: "I am Zhang Shun, the naval general of Tianqi Kingdom! Why don't you retreat quickly!"
In the battle of the Qing Empire, his Tianlong Army did not achieve much success.
Although the Beiyang Fleet was destroyed, it was still not enough.
So now, he must capture the three remaining fleets in Guangzhou Bay.
When the time comes, his Tianlong Army will destroy the four major naval fleets of the Qing Empire. This is not only a good name but also a great achievement!
At this moment, Su Dingfang actually had the same idea.
His army has already gone out to fight, how could he return empty-handed?
"In that case, don't blame us for being rude!"
Since the Heavenly Dragon Army wants to hinder him from killing the enemy, then these Heavenly Dragon Army are also enemies at this moment.
"Wait until I deal with you first! Then go deal with those people!"
Su Dingfang gave the order, and with a bad temper, he directly led his troops to rush towards Zhang Shun.
He doesn't know what the discussions between his Tang Empire and Tianqi Kingdom are going on, he just wants to make achievements!
"Haha! Buy one get one free!"
How could Zhang Shun be afraid?
I saw him shouting loudly: "Soldiers, let them see the strength of our Tianlong Army!"
"kill!"
The war drums sound.
At this moment, in Guangzhou Bay, Shen Baozhen, Guan Tianpei, and Lin Zexu looked at each other.
"Why did they fight?"
Lin Zexu looked confused at this time.
He is now the new admiral of the Fujian Navy, assisting Shen Baozhen in commanding the Fujian fleet.
Shen Baozhen, the former president of the Fujian Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet, was only appointed as the admiral of the Nanyang Fleet after promoting Lin Zexu.
Guan Tianpei, Admiral of Guangdong Fleet.
"That's a good thing."
Guan Tianpei said: "Let them kill each other, and then we may have a chance to break out!"
In terms of the strength and mathematics of the fleet, they consider themselves to be no weaker than the two fleets fighting outside.
What they lack is only the strongest.
Whether it is Shen Baozhen, Guan Tianpei, or Lin Zexu, they only have the strength to control the country's borders.
Working together, although they were able to resist Su Dingfang, who was a half-step ghost, they were unable to resist Zheng Yisao, who was in the divine realm.
"This battle! We can reap the benefits!"
Seeing that Su Dingfang had rushed towards Zheng Yisao, Lin Zexu said again: "As long as they fight to the death, both sides will lose, this will be a great opportunity for us to make contributions!"
What he wants is not to escape, but to kill the enemy!
"inappropriate."
However, unlike Lin Zexu's enthusiasm, Shen Baozhen said: "In this battle, we still give priority to preserving our strength."
"Everything has to wait for His Majesty's order!"
He brought the three naval fleets together to protect himself.
"Sir! Just wait for the opportunity."
This time, Lin Zexu didn't want to sit still and wait for death.
At the same time, this is also his opportunity. If he can kill these two groups of enemies, then Lin Zexu will definitely receive the emperor's gift.
From the beginning to the end, they have not received news that Nurhachi was killed.
After all, the Qing Empire was so large that transportation was not convenient, and it took a while for news to travel from south to north.
At the same time, the battlefield at sea.
Boom!
A huge cannon roared, and the huge solid shells instantly smashed many Tang Empire fleets into sieves.
The Tang Empire's naval fleet was only a wooden hull, how could it block the sharp cannons of the Tianlong battleship.
However, the loss of a few dozen ships could not hurt Su Dingfang's bones at all.
As if aware of the ultra-long range of the Tianlong battleship, many small ships such as sterns, battleships, and walking boats have rushed up.
"Boohoo!"
On top of the building ship, many crossbow arrows were also firing.
"Bah! Bah!"
The stern ship quickly rushed under the Tianlong battleship, and the Tang Empire sailors on the ship ignited their arrows.
Immediately, many flaming arrows flew towards the Tianlong battleship.
Fire attack is also one of the naval warfare strengths of the Tang Dynasty Navy.
"Dang Dang Dang! Dang Dang Dang!"
A shocking scene appeared.
Those rockets that were originally able to shoot through the iron armor were actually unable to cause any damage to the Tianlong battleship at this moment.
Countless rockets were fired at it, and they were all bounced away immediately.
Even crossbow arrows such as the horn crossbow and divine arm crossbow can only cause damage to the Tianlong Army soldiers on the Tianlong battleship.
