After the explosion, the docks were in shambles, the air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder, and there were burning fires everywhere.
The Qing soldiers who survived the catastrophe stared blankly at everything in front of them, and their ears were filled with the voices of their injured companions.
The large and small warships docked at the pier were affected by the explosion to varying degrees, and the nearest ships were directly blown apart, causing the water to float all over the board, and the sailors who fell into the water held the planks and shouted for help.
In the distance, the fire in the camp area is still burning, and the entire fish market entrance is reflected red, and the sky-high fire here can be seen from more than ten miles away.
After General Du De straightened up with the help of his own soldiers, the scene in front of him made him feel like he had been struck by lightning, and he muttered in a daze: "It's over, it's over, the sailor is over."
When the explosion occurred, Guo Tielong, who was lifted into the air, was really fatal, he did not fall to the ground but fell into the river, although he did not break his bones, but he really choked on several mouthfuls of water, if it was not for the good water, I am afraid that this would have fed the king in the river earlier.
After climbing ashore, like Dude, he also had the thought of "the sailor is finished" in his heart, and the whole person lost his soul like a chicken in the soup.
Like Du De and Guo Tielong, most of the officers of the Navy Division who survived the disaster were pessimistic about the future, and the fire in the camp could not damage the foundation of the Navy Division, after all, the net worth of the Navy Division was a ship, and the fire in the grain depot could not move the Navy Division in the slightest, and it was a big deal to let Guangzhou transport grain again, but the warships that were washed up and scattered on the dock were really the lifeblood of the Navy Division.
How many medicines are stored in the medicine storehouse, I'm afraid the specific number is that Liang Biaoxiang, who is the chief military officer of the Guangdong Navy Division, doesn't know it himself, but he is sure of one thing, that is, it will definitely not be less than 10,000 catties.
Since the old Red Flag Sailor, because of the long years at sea to make a living, from time to time to fight with other pirates, and even with the white-skinned and high-nosed Franco, the Dutch, this makes Liang Biaoxiang attach great importance to artillery, basically each ship is equipped with more than ten large and small artillery, and there are more than a lot of medicine.
With the powerful firepower on the ship, coupled with a group of outlaw brothers, Liang Biaoxiang became the "Red Flag Thief" in the mouth of maritime merchants in only ten years, became the big guy who talked about the sea ships in the past, and also became a nail in the eye of the Guangdong authorities in the Ming Dynasty.
Until Liang Biaoxiang accepted the Qing army Zhao'an to lead the Red Flag Naval Division to the Qing Guangdong Naval Division, even the Zheng family, the largest pirate on the sea, was polite to him, and all this was based on his construction of the combat power of the naval division, and the most fundamental thing was the use of artillery.
Relying on the large and small artillery on the ship, Liang Biaoxiang led the Red Flag Navy Division across the South Seas, not to mention the king and hegemony, but outside the South China Sea, which family did not give him face, and which passing sea ship did not pay tribute to him, even the Dutch with a high nose bridge did not also pay the money to buy the road, otherwise Liang Ye can let you go to Taiwan smoothly The scale of the Zheng family's fleet is large, but it is not the same to greet Liang Ye and send peace money Over time, Liang Biaoxiang formed an inherent idea, that is, as long as there are more cannons on the ship and enough medicine, no matter which one dares to be the enemy of his own family, and he can fight whichever he wants.
In the battle of Xinhui, the warships of the Nanming Chen Qice Department were not as many as Liang Biaoxiang, but they simply defeated the Guangdong Naval Division, and then Deng Yao, who was also inferior to the Guangdong Naval Division, used the terrain of Qinzhou Island to play an ambush for Liang Biaoxiang, and these two battles made Liang Biaoxiang's Red Flag Naval Division rely on to make a fine foundation, if it weren't for the fact that he used merchant ships and fishing boats to barely put together more than 300 boats, this Guangdong Naval Division would have been wiped out long ago.
In order to make these merchant ships look more like warships, Liang Biaoxiang also racked up the dirty juice to loot the artillery, and purchased a large number of Hongyi cannons with the Francois at any cost, and even unloaded several batteries of the original Ming army on the Pearl River, and reported more than 300 large and small cannons to Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi, which sounded as if he had recovered his strength overnight, but in his bones, the Guangdong sailors had long been rotten, and most of the sailors were fishermen who had been forcibly requisitioned.
The pirates who used to follow Liang Biaoxiang to make a living at sea died early, and there were few who really understood water warfare.
After receiving Shang Kexi's order to go to Xinhui along the river to intercept the reinforcements of the Ming army, Liang Biaoxiang led his troops to the mouth of the fish market, because of the lessons learned from the two battles with the Ming army's sailors, he asked him to bring all the hoarded medicines.
As soon as the sailor arrived at the mouth of the fish market, he ordered people to unload dozens of guns from the boat to the shore, and made a fort at the mouth of the fish market in a daze.
Liang Biao said to his subordinates that once the Ming army's naval division really attacked, the naval division would meet the whole army, and there would be artillery batteries on the shore to suppress it, and the Ming army could only be defeated by land and water.
This reason is also correct, there are sailors on the river, there are forts on the shore, and the water and land echo, and they are indeed able to suppress the Ming army sailors who are attacking.
I never thought that the Ming army reinforcements did not attack in a big way, but they were blown up by a fire.
The depot was basically built in the fort, and when the explosion occurred, the first thing to bear the brunt of the explosion was the dozens of guns that had been unloaded from the ship, and the violent explosion caused all these guns to fall apart, and the barrels of the guns were scattered one by one.
Some of the hapless Qing soldiers had just escaped from the fire, and before they could catch their breath, they were hit by cannon barrels falling from the sky, and they became a mess of muddy flesh.
Most of the large and small warships docked on the dock were converted from merchant ships and fishing boats, and the seams of this kind of ships were much worse than those of real warships, and most of them were still ships running on the river, and few were sea ships that could resist strong winds and waves, and as a result, after the explosion, most of the ships were overturned, and the ships closest to the medicine depot were directly overturned.
Liang Biaoxiang's ship is a real sea ship, and the hull is very strong, but even so, it has interrupted a few dragon pillars in the bumps, but fortunately, the rest of the parts are still strong, and they will not be able to fall apart for a while.
No one in the naval division had ever seen a big bang of this scale, let alone the impact and damage caused by the big bang, and when the smoke cleared, the Qing soldiers who were still alive had not recovered from the horror of the big bang, and some of the timid Qing soldiers were already in a state of disarray.
Liang Biaoxiang's lieutenant Zheng Guanghe will wilt even more distracted than those pro-soldiers who are also frightened, repeating the same sentence back and forth in front of Liang Biaoxiang, "Big brother, it's over, the sailor is over, it's all over" Liang Biaoxiang was already frightened, Zheng Guanghe's shaking back and forth and the heart-wrenching words made him upset, and he slapped him with a hand, scolding: "What are you panicking about, the sky hasn't fallen yet."
"The ship has been bombed like this, what else can we do" Zheng Guanghe cried and covered half of his face with an aggrieved face.
"What's the matter if the ship is gone, as long as it's there" When he said this, Liang Biaoxiang's face ached, and when he saw that the soldiers on the left and right were like dead fathers and mothers, he immediately glared at Zheng Guanghe fiercely, angry that he messed up the army's heart.
"Big brother, what should we do now" Zheng Guang was afraid of Liang Biaoxiang on weekdays, and when he saw his eldest brother's ugly face, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.
Liang Biaoxiang didn't reply to him, but stared at the dock with black smoke for a moment, Fang exhaled, gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to Changzhou Island" "Go back" Zheng Guanghe was stunned, he thought that the eldest brother would say that he would pull the sail and go to sea, but he didn't want the eldest brother to go back, thinking of the reaction of the king of Pingnan in Guangzhou after going back, he hesitated.
Liang Biaoxiang glanced at him, but did not explain anything, and urged Zheng Guanghe to immediately take someone to anchor and start the boat.
Zheng Guanghe asked what to do with the other boats, Liang Biaoxiang didn't care so much, as long as the boats that could go followed, and those that couldn't be driven stayed here and waited for dawn, and someone would come to deal with it at that time. oshow7 t1706231537:
