The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 703 Shelling Dagukou

The blood seems to be burning!

The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood are mixed together, quite pungent!
Amid the rumbling explosions, the entire fort was almost engulfed in gunpowder smoke and flames.

The open forts that the Qing army worked so hard to manage were quite vulnerable to the heavy artillery of the Ming army.

The coastal defense artillery of the Qing army also began to fight back, and the general of the Qing army who was in charge of commanding the Dagukou Fort shouted hoarsely.

"fire!"

"fire!"

"Fight back, bang his mother's bright thief!"

"..."

Amidst the shouts, the artillery of the Qing army also began to fight back.

A large amount of gunpowder smoke was spewed out from the muzzle, and a cannonball was fired from the muzzle, shooting towards the Ming army ships on the sea.

Boom!Boom!
The artillery deployed by the Qing army at Dagukou was not small, and when it fired, the movement was also extremely frightening.

However, compared with the movement caused by the Qing army's artillery fire, its actual effect is pitifully small.

Cannonballs were fired towards the Ming army fleet on the sea, but these cannonballs flew halfway in mid-air before exhausting their kinetic energy and falling towards the sea.

Pfft!Pfft!
The shells fired by the Qing army's coastal defense guns entered the water, splashing a lot of water.

However, the landing point of these shells is still a long way from the fleet of the Ming army.

The range of the coastal defense guns of the Qing army could not reach the warships of the Ming army at all.

Even if those large-caliber coastal defense guns could reach the warships of the Ming army in front of them, the kinetic energy of their shells had already been exhausted, and they were limp, and their power could not be seen for a long time.

The Qing army's shells hit the side of the Ming army's warship, not to mention piercing through the thick side armor and breaking the defense, and they couldn't even shake the Ming army's warship.

The Qing army's counterattack was lively. Amidst the rumbling shelling, water jets appeared on the sea.

But it just couldn't cause any substantial damage to the Ming army fleet!
Of course, the Qing army's counterattacks were not completely ineffective. Their shelling caused the Ming army's landing troops to be hindered to a certain extent.

After the shells entered the water, waves formed, which made the landing craft of the Ming army shake violently!
Some shells even hit the landing craft of the Ming army, smashing the landing craft into pieces in the blink of an eye, turning them into pieces of wood floating on the sea.

Some Ming soldiers were hit by shells and died tragically on the spot, while some wounded were struggling desperately in the sea!

Some people were even pierced by broken wood chips, with fine wounds all over their faces and bodies.

The seawater soaked the wound, and under the intense stimulation, many soldiers of the Ming army let out a scream of pain.

However, this is irrelevant!

The Ming army's landing troops were scattered on the sea, and the Qing army's shelling was limited in accuracy. Even if it could hit the Ming army's landing craft, the casualties could be controlled within a certain range.

At the same time, the naval guns of the Ming army were still pressing down on the forts of the Qing army!

More and more Qing army artillery was blown to misfire!

If it hadn't been for Oboi's cleverness this time, he dug a lot of trenches on the fort for hiding soldiers, and placed some artillery emplacements in such semi-open fortifications.

The Dagukou Fort of the Qing Army was pulled out by the Ming Army long ago!
But even so, the Qing army was beaten quite miserably!

Countless wounded lay in the trenches, howling and screaming, their voices were extremely shrill.

Greatly affected the morale of the Qing army!
"General, it's out of reach!"

"My Qing artillery can't reach the Ming thief's ships!"

A gunner of the Qing army ran all the way in front of the general of the Qing army, knelt on the ground, and shouted emotionally.

The general of the Qing army stared wide-eyed, grabbed the gunner by the neck, opened his mouth and roared indiscriminately.

"Can't reach it? What the hell are you telling me that it's not enough?!"

"Then why can the cannon of the Ming thief get the fort of my Qing Dynasty?"

"Aren't they all guns? What's the difference?!"

"If I want to tell you, it's you dog slaves who don't try their best to steal and play tricks!"

With a clang, the general of the Qing army pulled out the saber from his waist, pressed the saber on the gunner's neck, and shouted hysterically.

"Hit! Give me a hard hit and keep firing!"

"If the cannonballs can't reach them, then increase the amount of charge, and the attack of the bright thieves will definitely be defeated!"

The gunner of the Qing army explained tremblingly.

"No... no way!"

"Right now, [-]% of the medicine is used. If you reload the medicine, it will explode!"

"..."

The quality of the artillery of the Qing army has always been not good. The cannon body cast by wrought iron is too brittle, and the cannon was cut corners when casting it.

Therefore, when the gunners of the Qing army reloaded, they would reduce the amount of medicine as appropriate to ensure safety.

Generally speaking, it is [-]% of the medicine, and it is not uncommon for some insane people to only take [-]% of the medicine.

Now the gunners of the Qing army can hold [-]% of the medicine, which is considered my loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and my dedication.

When the general of the Qing army heard the words, his complexion completely darkened.

The knife in his hand slashed at the gunner mercilessly.

With a pop, the light of the knife flashed, and a human head was chopped off, with blood flowing.

The general of the Qing army raised his head with a ferocious expression, and roared at the people around him.

"Did you fucking see it? This is what happens when you dare not to worry about it, steal and play tricks!"

"From now on, I will forcefully charge Lao Tzu with medicine, beat me hard, and give Ming Thief a good look!"

"I don't believe this general anymore, my cannons of the Qing Dynasty are still worse than those of the Ming thieves!"

Seeing this scene, the gunners around were all terrified and felt chills.

The man just told the truth and was killed!
How miserable!

But they are all fish on the chopping board now, so what?
Under the pressure of killing, a group of gunners began to charge the artillery tremblingly.

Don't dare to cheat and play tricks anymore!

Fear spread in everyone's heart.

Because these gunners all know that if the charge is really strong, it will definitely explode!
But if he cheated and cheated again, he would lose his life as well.

Many Qing army gunners were caught in a dilemma, and their faces were full of worry.

After reloading, it was too late to ignite.

"Fire, all fire!"

"What are you waiting for!"

Seeing this, the generals of the Qing army were furious, and roared hysterically at the Qing army gunners.

Seeing the shrunken and fearful faces of these gunners, he couldn't stand it anymore. He scolded his mother, picked up a torch, and went forward to light the fire himself.

The torch moved close to the fuse, and with a bang, the fuse was ignited.

In the next moment, the flames exploded, and the body of the cannon turned into pieces of iron. The body of the general of the Qing army who went forward to ignite the fire was instantly engulfed by the cannon.

The flames from the explosion swept across the surroundings, and the gunpowder placed on several gun emplacements on the side was ignited.

The explosion became more and more violent!
Amidst the rumbling explosion, several artillery pieces of the Qing army were thrown into the sky one after another.

The gunners were killed and wounded a lot!
