Shandong Denglai off the coast, near Changshan Island.On the sea, a three-masted gunboat with a triangular yellow dragon flag on its mast sailed through the wind and waves.After the three-masted gunboats, more than a dozen large fortune ships, with hard sails and bulging, followed closely."
Changshan Island!"
The three-masted gunboat's main mast lookout, the Qing army's lookout hand, suddenly shouted loudly.At this time, a Qing general wearing a black official robe, a bowl hat on his head, and a flower feather immediately walked to the edge of the ship, took out a clairvoyant mirror, and looked at the sea, and an island in the distance was located on the blue sea.The island is surrounded by black rocks, the waves crash against the island, the wind and waves are very high, but in the distant bay, it is relatively calm, there are many boats moored, there are stone piers on the beach of the bay, and on the top of the island mountain, there is a stockade made of wood and stones, on which a blue background sun and moon flag is inserted.At this time, on the lighthouse built on the island, there was a sudden alarm bell.In the sound of "dang dang dang", a large number of soldiers wearing various colors of armor and turbans hurriedly boarded the wall, and the boats fishing on the sea also returned to the harbor.Wearing mountain-patterned armor and a phoenix-winged helmet, Xie Qian, according to the sword, surrounded by a team of soldiers, climbed the wall."
General, it's Qinggou's fleet!"
On the wall, a general said urgently.Xie Qian's face was heavy, last year, the Qing army raided Lushun and occupied Fort Lushun, which had been operated by Liaodongwei for several years, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died tragically under the butcher's knife.At the beginning of this year, the Qing army swept Denglai from Qingzhou, and most of the strongholds of Donghai Town in Dengzhou Laizhou were broken by the Qing army, and many righteous troops went to sea, but Xie Qian knew that it was not safe to go to sea, and the Qing army had the ability to attack Lushun from the sea, and sooner or later it would attack many islands off the coast of Shandong, and the Ming army in Shandong would be wiped out.For this reason, Xie Qian sent a letter to Zhao Ming asking for help, but before the reinforcements from Donghai Town arrived, the Qing army fleet had already arrived.Xie Qian took the clairvoyant mirror from his subordinates, took out the mirror tube to watch, saw the yellow dragon flag on the mast of the fleet, and violently accepted the clairvoyant mirror, and immediately shouted angrily: "It's Qinggou, artillery loading, ready to go to war!"
”Almost at the same time, Shi Lang, the commander of the Qing army's direct naval division, collected the clairvoyant mirror, turned his head to the next general and said: "Bayangu Mountain, I will bombard Changshan Island with naval artillery to destroy the thief army's cottage, and then you are the elite soldiers of the blue flag, and then wait for the opportunity to go ashore and exterminate the thief army on the island." ”After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, Duoduo invaded Fujian and incorporated nearly 100,000 Zheng troops, including Zheng generals who knew how to fight water.After Duoduo was defeated by Zhao Ming in Fujian, most of the Zheng army returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, but there were still some Zheng generals who fled back to Jiangnan with Duoduo.After the Dutch came into contact with the Manchus, the Manchus, through the Dutch, formed the Beizhishui Division in Tianjin, and a group of idle Zheng Jun generals were activated under the recommendation of Hong Chengchou, a Fujianese, and became the backbone of the Manchu Qingshui Division.A few years ago, Zhao Ming went north to Shandong, and after capturing Liaodong, he deployed a large number of tun troops in Shandong and the coastal areas of Liaodong, containing a large number of Qing troops, making the Qing army unable to go south with all its strength, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always regarded it as a danger to the henchmen.Shandong was too close to Beijing, and Liaodong was a direct threat to the Manchu nest, which Dolgon and the Manchurian aristocracy could not tolerate.Therefore, Dolgon has always wanted to exterminate the Ming army in Shandong and Liaodong, and trained a naval division to guard against Zhao Zamao's naval army, and went north again, and the army came to Dagukou.A sneer appeared on Bayan's face, "Prince Xun is attacking Zhao Zamao, and Zhao Zamao's army has all thrown themselves into Jiangnan, which is our opportunity to sweep Shandong and Liaodong Haikou."
This time, it is necessary to annihilate all the Haikou that Zhao Zamao planted in Shandong. ”Shi Lang waved his hand, "Right rudder, adjust the sails, and prepare the side guns!"
”On the mast of the three-masted gun, the command flag was hoisted, and the warships adjusted their sails in unison, and the ships quickly turned and lined up, aiming their sides at the bay.At this time, the gun window on the side of the ship was opened, and the gun port of the black hole was pushed out, aiming at the bay.The Qing army did not hesitate, the officer waved his left hand down, and shouted loudly: "Release!"
”The gunner next to the naval gun immediately approached the torch in turn, and the ignited lead immediately flashed sparks and drilled into the gun body, with a loud "boom", the gun body shook violently backwards, and the muzzle of the gun jerked out of the gun window, raising a cloud of white smoke.In an instant, the side of the Qing warship opened fire in turn, and the black hole of the cannon retreated violently, and the ship trembled violently, as if it was about to fall apart, and the side was instantly filled with gunsmoke.Nearly 100 shells flew in a whistling manner, close to the surface of the sea and smashed into the bay, and the bay was startled by columns of water that rose into the sky, and the ships parked in the bay were smashed by the dense shells in an instant.The first round of artillery of the Qing army, which smashed into the Ming ships, fishing boats and transport boats in the bay, was hit by a cannonball, and within a few cannons it turned into a pile of driftwood.Seeing this, Xie Qian was furious, pulled out his knife, pointed forward, and said angrily: "Fire the cannon, bombard the damn." ”On the stone wall of the cottage, the gunners of the Ming army wrapped in turbans put the torch close to the artillery, the cannon roared, the cannon body retreated with the gun carriage, and a cloud of white smoke rose up on the cottage, and the shells whistled and smashed into the sea, splashing water columns next to the Qing fleet.The cannonball hit the Qing warship, splashed wood, and swept across a section of the deck, telling the Qing army that the defenders of the island were not without the power to fight back.The Ming army on the coast of Shandong and Liaodong was the tun army of Donghai Town, that is, the Weisuo army, not an elite army.Bayan and Shi Lang couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the Ming army on the island and actually fired back with artillery."
I didn't expect there to be heavy artillery on the island!"
Bayan frowned and gritted his teeth.The Qing army's naval division has always had no combat power, and there is no way to take the Ming army at sea, and the Ming army is on the island for a long time, and it is in an invincible position.Because there is no need to worry about the Qing army attacking the island, the defenses on the island are relatively weak, and the Qing army has been clearing many islands for some time, all of which are the same, and I don't want this Changshan Island to have heavy artillery.Shi Lang waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't get in the way, although there are cannons on the island, there are not many of them, and they are not our opponents!"
”After speaking, Shi Lang immediately ordered, slapped his palm on the ship's floor, and roared angrily, "Aim at the Haikou artillery array, hit me!"
”On the side of the Qing warship, the loaded Qing gunners pushed the guns back to the gun position, adjusted the angle, the gunners brought the torches close to the lead, and the side of each ship roared again.The gunboats of the Qing army spewed out orange and red cannon flames and thick white smoke in turn, one after another cannonballs, flying rapidly towards the cottage, the cannonballs hit the wall, and suddenly the gravel splashed, and many Ming soldiers were hit by the gravel and fell directly to the wall."
Concealment, enemy shelling!"
The wall was filled with smoke and dust, the Ming army general shouted urgently, a cannon smashed, the city wall exploded, the officer's body suddenly flew upside down, the cannonball wrapped in rubble, and killed several people immediately.There were only ten Hongyi cannons on Changshan Island, and the artillery of the Qing gunboats was about ten times that of the Ming army.Under the fierce shelling, the cottage was smashed to the ground, filled with smoke and dust, and the sound of the collapse of the wall and the wailing of the soldiers came from all directions, which made people tremble.In the rumbling cannon and screams, Xie Qian squatted behind the wall, and pulled a person, it was Zhao Shuxiang, the guard of Shandong, who shouted urgently: "Lao Zhao, you quickly go down from the back mountain and take a boat to ask for help from the marshal." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe.) ）()
