The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin
1377 Seizing the Beachhead
"Land. Go ashore." A sailor conveyed Xiang Liang's order.
"Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong dong." The sound of drums came again. This time the drum sound was a little gentle, but it was also an order for the Chu army to assemble.
The sailors on the shore took shelter inside the fortifications.
"What's going on?" At this time, the militiamen came from the mainland. They were local colonists and pioneers. All of them had weapons. They came after hearing the rumble of cannons and emergency signals.
"I don't know. It seems to be a warship, and the flag is that of the Chu army." A bearded old sailor said, waving his arms.
"Ah." The old sailor injured one of his arms. When he waved his arm, he happened to get the wound.
"Well, cannon." At this time, a leader came over and said. As he said that, he picked up the telescope to check the situation.
"It is indeed our Chu army's warship. I really don't know why it suddenly opened fire on us. It was too sudden." At this time, the leader said.
"Well. Could it be that the nobles have sent troops to us?" A young man said nervously.
"Well, I can't rule out this possibility," the leader said.
"Let me take a look." The leader stood up and looked at the situation in the distance with a telescope.
"They have cannons. But..." At this time, the leader put down his telescope to check the situation with the naked eye. He blinked his eyes hard, then rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then immediately used the telescope to check the situation.
"God damn it. They are coming towards us. Many small boats are carrying Chu soldiers, getting ready for battle. Get ready." The leader shouted loudly at this time.
"Everyone, enter combat status. Hurry up." The leader shouted loudly at this time. At this time, everyone else picked up their weapons and entered combat status.
And at sea, a small boat loaded with Chu navy troops was slowly approaching the coast.
"Captain, do we need to provide some support? We have just carried out two rounds of bombardment. The Chu people in the colony did not suffer much losses at all." A gunner came up hurriedly and asked the captain.
"Yes. You are right." The captain nodded.
"I'm going to ask the general." At this time, the captain left immediately. But after taking two steps, he stopped and turned around and asked.
"Can our cannonballs be accurate at that distance?" the captain asked at this time.
"Well. At this distance, as long as we use solid shells, I think we should be able to do it." The gunner nodded at this time.
"Okay, prepare solid cannonballs." The captain said immediately after hearing this reply.
"Yes, Captain." The gunner received the order and immediately nodded in agreement. Immediately, he asked the drummer to convey the captain's order to other ships, and then he went down to the gun cabin to let his men load solid cannonballs.
"General, I believe that at present, solid artillery shells should be used to provide some fire support to our soldiers who are about to land. After all, the losses of those on the shore during the two rounds of shelling were not very great, and the current distance allowed us to
We can shoot safely enough," the captain said, handing it over.
"Yes." Xiang Liang nodded after hearing such a suggestion. Then he picked up the telescope to check the situation on the shore. Judging from the situation on the shore, it did not seem like he had suffered a lot of losses. Xiang Liang only saw a few bodies.
Bodies. There are also burning cars and merchant ships.
"Fire at the place where you think there are people. Remember, don't hurt our people." At this time, Xiang Liang looked at the captain and said.
"Understood. General." The captain received the order and immediately conveyed the order.
Chu people on the shore.
"They are coming. I can see them. Those damn noble dogs." A businessman said, waving a bayonet. His merchant ship was unloading goods at the dock, but it was hit by the Chu army's artillery. Until now, he
His merchant ship is still on fire. His merchant ship is filled with wine from the state of Qin. Fruit wine from the state of Chu. The alcohol content of the fruit wine from the state of Chu is low and barely enough.
It can burn, but it is possible. However, the alcohol content of Qin Guo Liquor is very high. This Qin Guo Liquor is loved by many fighting indigenous tribes, especially those in the mountains and Yue people, because they live in the mountains and suffer from the bitter cold.
He developed a fascination with alcohol because alcohol can drive away the cold air in the mountains. Therefore, this kind of Qin Guo Liquor is very popular in mountainous areas.
People like it, and the fruit wine of Chu State is liked by those who have been warned. They are not willing to be aggressive, and they are slightly sweet to this kind. After drinking it, the feeling of weakness in the body for a long time is special.
People like it, so this kind of Chu fruit wine is the favorite of the local domesticated Yue people. The Chu people themselves like to drink some excitement, and they like to drink it.
The two kinds of wine were mixed together. This kind of wine made them feel that the benefits of both kinds of wine could be brought together. The slight sweetness and staying power of the fruit wine made them feel that their bodies could achieve unprecedented stimulation, and the stimulation of Qin Guo Liquor could
It greatly stimulated their excitement. This was a new way of drinking in the colonies. This way of drinking was very popular among sailors.
"Boom." Just as the merchant waved his bayonet, his merchant ship emitted a huge explosion.
"These soldiers of the gods." The businessman cursed loudly. His merchant ship was suddenly blown into pieces. A huge fireball rose into the sky. Then there was a raging fire, and the fire detonated his merchant ship.
"Oh my God. They have cannons." The Chu soldiers on the boat all lay down nervously. Although they were still a long way away from the merchant ship, such a huge explosion still made them lie down subconsciously.
Body.
"Paddle, paddle quickly." A Chu army veteran with rolled up sleeves waved his arms and shouted loudly. At this time, the soldiers picked up the oars again and started paddling.
"Slow down, don't get the gunpowder wet." The veteran shouted loudly to a young soldier.
The small boat loaded with ships was slowly approaching the coast at this time. However, within the colony's defenses, there was nothing that could be done about it.
"If we have cannons, we can fight back. Those Chu troops will definitely not be able to board the coast." A Chu sailor looked at the slowly approaching boat. The torment in his heart made him very nervous. He was so nervous that he could not believe that he would be like this.
Asking such a question. If there were cannons, then they wouldn't have to wait like this. At least they could see that those cannonballs could knock out all the Chu army's boats.
The colonies only had a loose government agency. And this agency, to a certain extent, could not be called a government because they still lacked certain functions of the government. For example, collecting taxes, this loose government agency did not grant any rights at all.
Without this basis for collecting taxes, it would be impossible to establish a violent institution, and coercion would be lost.
The colonial administration, which had almost no sources, had no money to buy cannons to improve the defense of their colonies. Not only that, those merchants were very selfish. They installed cannons on their merchant ships. The number was also very small, and the caliber was far away.
It is not as large as the caliber of a warship. It is not as powerful as the artillery on a large warship. The colony has a large number of guns, but few artillery. The lack of artillery makes the colony's defense a flaw. The price of this flaw is too high.
Big.
"Let go." The gunner shouted loudly at this time.
"Boom. Boom. Boom." The black muzzle roared again.
"Whoosh. Whoosh." The shells roared out and hit the coast.
"Crash la la la." A cannonball flew directly over. The sailors and militiamen in the colonies on the coast could see the cannonball flying directly over. The cannonball hit directly in the bushes. The cannonballs directly hit the branches in the bushes.
It's everywhere.
"Pfft." A militiaman saw the powerful artillery and wanted to see what was going on, so he stuck out his head. As soon as he stuck his head out, his head was blown off by a flying cannonball. The militiaman's head was knocked off directly.
Was beaten into pieces.
"Boom." The shells kept roaring, then hit the ground, and then bounced up quickly. Some militiamen who were frightened by the huge lethality of the shells jumped out of their fortifications and left here, but soon, they
Then I tasted the feeling of being hit. A shell hit several militiamen. Several were killed on the spot, and one was hit in the arm. He fell to the ground and shouted loudly.
"Boom." The artillery shells are still roaring in. The defenses are being attacked like never before.
"Lie on the ground, don't move. Don't move." A militiaman shouted loudly. The fierce shelling put the psychological defenses of these soldiers on the verge of collapse. Such fierce shelling made the colonial militia unable to hold their heads up.
.
"Everyone, prepare." A veteran of the Chu navy shouted loudly. He raised his flintlock gun.
"Hurry up. Get ready for battle. Go ahead." The veteran shouted continuously. Then he immediately jumped out of his boat, entered the knee-deep water first, and then quickly boarded the shore with his rifle in hand.
"Up. Up. Up." The Chu soldiers behind shouted loudly. Then they quickly jumped into the water.
More and more Chu soldiers rushed forward with guns in hand.
"Come on." The soldiers of the Chu army quickly occupied a beachhead. Then they consolidated their positions. After all, their first wave of people was very small. Only when the second wave of people caught up could they quickly launch an attack.
"Defend your positions and don't launch an attack easily." A Chu army officer shouted loudly. The Chu army soldiers lay on the position and looked at the fortifications in front. As long as they were willing, they could quickly rush up at this time.
But they couldn't, because at this time, the shelling continued. The Chu soldiers lowered their bodies as low as possible on the beach. Even so, they could still feel the shells whizzing past their heads.
