The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 796 The Eastern Expedition War broke out (please subscribe~)

Montgomery was full of bad premonitions, bad... bad!
So where are the stars!
That's obviously the fire from the enemy ship!
"Enemy attack...Enemy attack!"

In the next moment, Montroff subconsciously shouted at the top of his voice.

The shrill and sharp shouts broke the calm on the ship.

The servants and soldiers who were standing on the deck turned their heads to look towards the sea, with obvious panic on their faces.

A Eight Banners soldier also stumbled out of the cabin.

Then, these Qing soldiers saw a scene that they will never forget.

Under the night, on the originally pitch-black sea, a large number of bright spots appeared.

Looking from a distance, it seems that the stars in the sky have fallen on the sea.

However, the experienced sailors and soldiers were very keen to realize that it was not a star, but the light of the lantern on the ship.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The enemy is coming, everyone, prepare for battle immediately!"

"Quick, quick, quick, retreat, retreat immediately, I will return to Tsushima immediately to report the enemy's situation."

"..."

A number of Qing soldiers shouted at the top of their voices, and everyone's faces were full of horror.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Gou'er was also startled awake from his drunkenness.

He was sweating profusely all over his body, and his groggy head became much clearer.

With a dry throat, Zhao Gou'er felt that his legs and feet were very weak.

If it wasn't for Montt who was standing beside him to support him, he might have fallen into the sea and fell into the sea.

The patrol ship of the Qing army quickly turned around and headed in the direction of Tsushima Island.

A soldier of the Qing Dynasty dropped his work one after another and tried his best to row the oars, hoping that the speed of the patrol boat could be faster.

However, it turns out that their struggles were futile.

In fact, the fleet of the Ming army had already discovered them and sent speedboats to intercept them.

It wasn't long before the patrol ship of the Qing army rowed out, when a series of gunfire sounded behind it.

In the dark night, the flames produced by the firing of muskets and artillery are extremely conspicuous.

Although the Ming army's pursuers are obviously indiscriminate, it still caused great psychological pressure on the fleeing Qing army.

Many Qing soldiers who were inexperienced in war were already trembling with fright when they heard the gunshots, and they couldn't control themselves.

Their speed, which was not fast at all, has obviously slowed down a lot!
At this moment, two wind lanterns were also suddenly lit on the sea area in front of the direction they were fleeing.

Instead of two wind lanterns, it often represents two ships.

The two ships of the Ming army who attacked ahead of time and were about to outflank and annihilate the patrol ships of the Qing army quickly outflanked them, one left and one right.

Menacing, murderous!
Seeing this scene, the Qing army felt desperate.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Who is this offender? Is it the Ming army? Or the pirates?"

The expression on Zhao Gou'er's face was fear and confusion visible to the naked eye.

Because the sky was too dark, all that could be seen on the sea was the light of wind lanterns, and no flags or other things that could represent the identity of the incoming enemy could be seen at all.

Therefore, they have no way of judging who is the offender!

If it was the Japanese army that came to attack, it would be fine. As long as the Qing army can react, it will not be a problem to repel the Japanese army.

But if it is the Ming army...

Then things will be troublesome!
The navy of the Ming army was strong and good at fighting, which was the consensus shared by almost everyone in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Fighting against the navy of the Ming army, the Qing army has no confidence in winning at all!
Mengtuo's face on the side was also full of unconcealable fear and fear.

He is still young and has not been to the battlefield a few times, and his face is still childish, full of youthfulness.

He is still a recruit, otherwise, he would have been promoted step by step based on his full status.

Zhao Gou'er patted Mengtuo's shoulder and said in a low voice.

"Come play by ear with me in a while, don't be too stubborn, your mother and your sister are still at home waiting for us to go home."

Since Zhao Gou'er was raised the flag and married a banner man's wife, he has also been somewhat loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

However, this loyalty has not yet reached the point where he is willing to die for my Qing Dynasty.

When he was really in a desperate situation, he would never hesitate when it was time to surrender.

Hearing this, Montt opened his mouth, as if realizing something.

He wanted to angrily accuse his brother-in-law of being a coward for betraying the Qing Dynasty, but he couldn't say anything.

That's right, my mother-in-law and sister are still waiting for me to go home!
There was a loud bang, and a shell was fired, which happened to hit the hull of the patrol boat.

The shells carried kinetic energy, pierced through the side of the ship, and then fell into the crowd mixed with countless pieces of wood.

The next moment, the screams sounded suddenly.

Several unlucky Qing soldiers were hit by shells, and their bodies were directly torn apart. Blood mixed with minced meat was splashed everywhere.

There are also some Qing soldiers who were hit by flying pieces of wood, leaving scratches on their bodies.

Zhao Gou'er watched helplessly as the person in front of him was hit in the head by a shell, and his head exploded like a rotten watermelon in an instant.

White brains, mixed with blood and bones, sprayed everywhere.

Zhao Gou'er and Mengtuo were spattered with blood and brains, and they couldn't help but spit it out instantly.

It's true that Zhao Gou'er is a veteran, but this is the first time he has seen such a scene...

I really can't help it!

With a bang, a ship of the Ming army approached, and several soldiers of the Ming army rushed to the patrol ship of the Qing army.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Kneel down and abandon your weapons, and those who surrender will not die!"

"..."

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty held muskets, and the bayonets on the muzzles shone faintly under the illumination of the moon above their heads.

Some Qing soldiers still wanted to resist, but what greeted them were hot bullets and cold bayonets.

Gunshots sounded, bayonets pierced the chest or throat, and blood sprayed.

After the soldiers of the Qing army who wanted to resist were killed, the remaining people raised their hands obediently and chose to surrender.

Looking at the tall and burly soldiers on the opposite side, and listening to the Chinese they spoke, Zhao Gou'er suddenly understood.

This time it was Daming who was going to attack the Manchus, not the Japanese pirates.

Seeing this, Montté on the side also felt a chill in his heart.

Based on the current situation of Daqing, since Daming chose to attack Daqing, then Daqing is really going to end!
He couldn't see the possibility of the Qing Dynasty blocking the Ming army's attack at all!
……

"Report to the general, during the battle last night, our army captured 170 Qing patrol ships, captured 42 and seven enemy soldiers, and killed [-] of them."

Ming army officers came to the captain's room and reported to Chen Ze the results of the battle last night.

Hearing this, Chen Ze put down the teacup in his hand, nodded slightly and said.

"well done!"

"What about the casualties of our army?"

The battle last night was actually just an encounter.

After the fleet of the Ming army sailed out of Busan Port, it encountered a patrol ship of the Qing army on the sea off Tsushima Island.

However, after the Ming army took out a patrol ship of the Qing army and interrogated the prisoners of war, they got the arrangement plan for the patrol ship of the Qing army.

There is no doubt that this Erwu boy who provided the Ming army with a complete patrol ship arrangement plan for the Qing army is Zhao Gouer...

Therefore, last night and night, the Ming army was completely consciously attacking the patrol ships of the Qing army in the Tsushima Strait.

In one night, the Ming army killed a total of thirteen patrol ships, and almost wiped out the Qing army's patrol ships in the Tsushima Strait.

A large number of Qing army prisoners of war were also captured. In any case, it was a good start.

It's something to be happy about!

When the officer heard the words, he opened his mouth to report.

"Last night and night, our army suffered a total of 21 casualties, including eight killed and 13 wounded."

Most of the casualties of the Ming army occurred in the battle of jumping gangs. Some people were injured and died in battle, but some were drowned after falling into the water.

It was too dark last night, even if most of the Ming soldiers did not suffer from night blindness, casualties could not be avoided.

Chen Ze nodded to show that he understood, and spoke.

"Order the whole army, be ready to go into battle at any time!"

"..."

The Ming army annihilated the Qing army's patrol ships with such great fanfare, it is impossible for the Qing army to not notice.

Right now, the war is really imminent!
……

At the same time, inside Tsushima Mizucamp!
Zu Zeqing was reviewing the military affairs, reviewing the amount of food, grass and arms for each battalion head.

And thinking about how to withhold a wave and use it to support his servants...

At this moment, a Qing army officer ran in outside.

This officer was wearing the Eight Banners cotton armor of the Qing army, but he had long hair, but the long hair was braided into a braid.

"General, general, something is wrong!"

"The patrol ship dispatched by our army has been attacked. If there is no one out of ten, there will be one out of ten!"

This officer of the Qing army trotted all the way to Zu Zeqing and said.

Zu Zeqing put down the official document in his hand, raised his head, and asked with a frown.

"what happened?"

Zu Zeqing had no doubts about the officer's words.

The officer's surname was Zu, and he was born as a member of the ancestor's family. He followed the ancestor's family from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and from the Central Plains to Dongying. His loyalty was absolutely guaranteed.

The ancestor heard the words and replied.

"Didn't there be thunder on the sea last night? Now I think it should be the sound of artillery."

"According to the reports from the patrol brothers who have withdrawn, it is the fleet of the Ming army..."

When Zu Zeqing heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He almost overturned the table in front of him.

"What... what's going on!"

"How did the Ming army come to attack my Qing Dynasty?"

When the ancestor heard the words, his face remained calm, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Does the Ming Dynasty still need a reason to fight the Qing Dynasty?

Based on the hatred between the two parties, it would be abnormal not to fight, right?
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zu Ze lost his composure when he heard that the Ming army was coming, but soon he calmed down and commanded in an orderly manner.

"The order will go on, the whole army will prepare for war, and be ready to withdraw from Tsushima Island at any time."

After giving these orders, he turned his head and said again.

"Immediately send someone to report to Jiuguo Island, it means that the army is coming and ask for support!"

Zu Zeqing didn't think that Tsushima Island alone would be able to stop the menacing Ming army.

Therefore, Zu Zeqing was going to avoid his edge, preserve his strength, temporarily avoid the Ming army's front, and not make direct contact with the Ming army.

After all, as the saying goes, Daqing belongs to Aixinjueluo's family, but the soldiers belong to him.

If you use your own soldiers to kill Daqing who protects Aixinjueluo's family, wouldn't his ancestor Zeqing become a big wronged species?

Having said all this, Zu Zeqing led his people to prepare to evacuate.

He personally boarded his own ship, and then ordered the fleet to leave the port and leave Tsushima Island, temporarily avoiding the front of the Ming army.

Under Zu Zeqing's order, one by one Qing army ships set sail to sea.

As time passed, Zu Zeqing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his fleet gradually sail out of the bay.

Just at this moment, the fleet suddenly sounded harsh sirens.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"An enemy fleet is found fifteen miles ahead!"

"..."

A lookout of the Qing army shouted at the top of his voice.

When Zu Zeqing heard this, the expression on his face froze immediately.

He knew that his plan had failed!

Although due to Zu Zeqing's quick response, the navy of the Qing army was not blocked by the Ming army fleet in the port.

But the current situation is not so good!

The distance between the two sides is only fifteen miles, which is already very close for a naval battle.

Therefore, the choice currently before the Qing army is to fight.

If you run, you will definitely not be able to escape.

The vast sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and it is impossible for the Qing army to escape the pursuit of the Ming army.

If Zu Zeqing didn't want to sit still, the only option was to fight.

"Prepare for war, prepare for war, prepare for war!"

Zu Ze ordered with a cold face.

Following his order, the Qing army began to prepare for battle.

The gun ports on the side of the ship were opened, revealing a series of dark muzzles.

The number of artillery pieces of the Qing army continued to increase, but there were still some.

From Zu Zeqing's point of view, after facing the Ming army, his own side should be able to barely support a couple of blows.

Not to say that there is no resistance at all!
The distance between the two sides is constantly being shortened. On the side of the Ming army's fleet, steam ironclad ships have already begun to burn boilers, making pre-war preparations.

Standing on the bow of his own ship, Chen Ze looked at the Qing warship not far away, with a fiery fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifty States?"

"Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar with thousands of households?"

Galloping on the battlefield, relying on military merits to become a marquis and a general, is the greatest romance of a man!
"Send the order, and the fleet will immediately start to arrange the battle formation!"

"After the steam ironclads are ready, they attack immediately, disrupting the enemy's formation and gaining the opportunity for our army to fight."

Chen Ze ordered in an orderly manner.

The distance between the two sides was still getting closer, and three steam ironclad ships in the Ming army fleet jumped out.

A large amount of black smoke was spewed from the chimney, and a very obvious white spray was dragged at the tail of the ship, rushing towards the Qing army in front of it.

The sails and the auxiliary power of the steam engine make the speed of these three steam ironclad ships very fast.

At the very least, compared with traditional sailing battleships, it is much faster.

In the blink of an eye, the three armored battleships of Daming rushed out.

Zu Zeqing stood on the deck, looking at the fleet of the Ming army quickly forming a combat formation, the whole movement was smooth without any lag.

It can be seen that the elite of the Ming army navy!
For this, Zu Zeqing was full of envy.

If the navy of the Qing army under his command can have half the elite of the navy of the Ming army, maybe he can also look forward to the position of Aixinjueluo's family...

Thinking about these messy things, Zu Zeqing quickly ordered the army to prepare for battle.

Unlike the Ming army's preparations for battle, the Qing army's preparations for battle, to put it bluntly, was a swarm of bees rushing upwards.

The Qing army is basically a layman in water warfare. The reason why they can defeat the Japanese navy relies on the strength of ships and guns.

There are no such things as strategy and tactics in my Qing Dynasty!
Soon, the two sides will engage in battle.

The three steam iron-clad ships of the Ming army took the lead, and they were getting closer and closer to the navy array of the Qing army.

boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!

The next moment, deafening shelling rang out.

The guns mounted in the turrets on the deck of the steamship fired.

Relying on their high range and high accuracy, they started shelling ahead of schedule.

Cannonballs began to pour towards the navy of the Qing army!

Many shells missed and hit the water, and the splashed water column was very obvious, splashing everywhere.

However, some artillery shells directly hit the warships of the Qing army. Under the action of terrifying kinetic energy, the heavy artillery of the Ming army could almost punch a big hole in one shot.

The sea water is continuously flowing into the cabin from the hole!

Boom!Boom!
The flower bomb exploded, and the flames mixed with the gunpowder smoke and fragments swept around.

The decks of the Qing army ships looked like they had been washed with blood.

The heavy artillery of the Ming army continued to roar, and it seemed that there was only the sound of shelling in the world.

The steam iron-clad ship of the Ming army rushed into the formation of the Qing army navy like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The gun windows on both sides of the ship were opened, and the black hole muzzle continuously fired shells.

Let's pour out the firepower to our heart's content!

Compared with the tall steam iron-clad ships of the Ming army, the ships of the Qing army were just small sampans.

Under the heavy artillery of the Ming army, sawdust was quickly beaten and the losses were heavy.

In the blink of an eye, several warships were sunk.

The turret on the deck of the steam ironclad ship of the Ming army also began to rotate to adjust the shooting elements, and poured firepower.

The artillery installed in the turret is all rear-loading guns.

boom!Boom!

The rate of fire of the rear-loading gun is by no means comparable to that of the front-loading gun.

Although there are only a few turrets on the deck, their firepower is stronger than that of the ship's side gun ports.

Several rounds can be fired every minute, and under continuous shooting, the inside of the turret is almost filled with gunpowder smoke.

In the dense gunpowder smoke, the gunners of the Ming army were sweating profusely and their eyes were red, but they continued to load the artillery.

Unleash firepower on the enemy!

Da da!Da da da!Da da da da!
In the next instant, gunshots sounded as dense as fried beans.

The revolving machine gun installed on the side of the steam iron-clad ship of the Ming army also aimed at the deck of the Qing army ship and began to pour firepower.

The barrel of the gun rotated, the smoke filled the air, and the dense rounds of projectiles flew and fired, sweeping the deck of the Qing army.

Some Qing soldiers who gathered on the deck and wanted to join the fight were swept away by the barrage, as if they were cutting wheat, they were swept away.

The whole deck was full of limbs and broken bodies left by machine guns.

The dense projectiles almost destroy everything.

The screams and howls sounded instantly!

Several Qing soldiers were concentrated in the waist and abdomen by the bullets, and their bodies were cut into two sections by the dense bullet screen...

White bone stubble, broken flesh and blood, still wriggling internal organs, and hysterical screams from people.

All of them are showing the cruelty of war!
The first appearance of the rotary machine gun on the battlefield is enough to impress countless people.

Some soldiers of the Qing army got up from the deck covered in blood, looked at the surrounding scene that seemed to be like Shura's hell, and couldn't help vomiting.

Many soldiers of the Qing army couldn't help but let out screams and burst into tears.

"what……"

Zu Zeqing looked at the warships of the Ming army rushing into the formation of the Qing army, his face was full of solemnity.

Especially when he saw the density of firepower of the warships of the Ming army, the solemn look on his face became more and more obvious.

Suddenly, Zu Zeqing's expression froze, and he noticed that the warships of the Ming army were not made of wood.

The body of the ship actually reflects the luster of metal!
Iron ship?

If not, why did the warships of the Ming army reflect light?
But if so, how did the Ming army make Tie Neng float on the water?
Zu Zeqing was full of disbelief, but he still ordered his own artillery to fight back.

Boom!Boom!
The sides of the ships of the Qing army began to spit out gunpowder smoke, and shells were fired at the steam iron-clad ships of the Ming army that rushed into the formation of the Qing army.

A round of shells mercilessly hit the side of the ship of the Ming army!
However, the armor-piercing effect expected by the Qing army could not be formed at all. The shells hit the side armor of the Ming army warship, leaving no other effect except for leaving dents.

Some shells hit the turrets set up by the Ming army on the deck, but the effect was also very little.

The Ming army gunner in the turret was indeed shocked and suffered some internal injuries.

But the turret itself is not damaged, and the artillery in the turret can still fire.

From a distance, the shelling of the Qing army is no different from scratching an itch for the warships of the Ming army.

However, the shelling of the Ming army was quite deadly to the warships of the Qing army.

Even regardless of the bombardment, the bloody sweep of the deck by the rotary machine gun was enough to impress the Qing army.

Not long after the two sides started fighting, the Qing army was already beaten to the point of crying.

Several warships were sunk, and debris and floating corpses were scattered all over the sea.

The blood almost dyed the entire sea red!
The Qing army was almost being tortured and killed by all sides. Facing the strong ships and guns of the Ming army, they had no resistance at all.

The heavy artillery of the Ming army continued to roar, and Zu Zeqing watched with some pain as his own ships were called out one by one.

The three steam iron-clad ships of the Ming army, like three sharks rushing into the school of fish, quickly harvested the enemy and disrupted the formation of the school of fish.

At this moment, the main battleship of the Ming army also took advantage of the chaotic formation of the Qing army and directly entered the battlefield.

The white sails are connected into one piece, and the tall warships are like hills, pressing across the sea.

In the next moment, the main fleet of the Ming army also began to pour firepower towards the Qing army.

Boom!Boom!
The dense gunpowder almost covered the entire battlefield.

Countless cannonballs drew graceful arcs in the air, shooting towards the enemy in front of them.

Cannonballs kept hitting the warships of the Qing army, causing the warships of the Qing army to tremble and sputter sawdust.

Flowering bullets, solid bullets, and bombardment took turns, and several Qing warships were sunk in the blink of an eye.

The warships of the Ming army passed quickly in front of the formation of the Qing army, and after making a big circle on the sea, they faced the enemy on the other side of the ship.

Then, another round of heavy artillery salvo!
A series of heavy artillery roared, venting their firepower to their heart's content.

The warships of the Qing army were hit head-on.

Seeing this scene, Zu Zeqing's eyes were full of pain.

He knew that the navy of the Qing Dynasty was no match for the navy of the Ming army, but he really didn't expect that the gap between the two sides could be so big!
This is so much more than an opponent!

This is completely powerless to fight back!

Whether it's the Ming army's extremely high-firing artillery, or the terrifying revolving machine gun, or the steel armor on the outside of the warship...

Everything was beyond Zu Zeqing's imagination.

He didn't know where these weird weapons of the Ming army came from, but he knew that the lethality of these weapons was really terrifying.

Filled with fear, Zu Zeqing gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind when he saw the almost one-sided massacre on the battlefield.

"Send the order, give up resistance, and raise the white flag!"

Zu Zeqing realized very clearly that the gap between the Qing army and the Ming army is as huge as a gulf.

If he doesn't want his subordinates to continue to suffer unnecessary casualties, then surrender is the best choice before him.

All Zu Zeqing can do now is pray, that Daming can treat his former "Ming Chen" kindly!
Following Zu Zeqing's order, a white flag was raised above the fleet of the Qing army.

A soldier of the Qing army gave up resistance, dropped the weapon in his hand, knelt on the deck, and chose to surrender to the Ming army.

The gun window that was originally opened was also closed by the Qing army itself.

The Ming army began to send people to take over the prisoners of war and prepare for the surrender.

At the same time, after Zu Zeqing surrendered, he was brought before Chen Ze.

The first moment he saw Chen Ze, Zu Zeqing knelt down with a plop, and wailed at the top of his voice.

"Criminal General Zu Zeqing pays homage to Lord General!"

"The sinful general surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. I really had no choice but to do so. Now I have come to my senses and realized my mistakes. I am willing to be the king's predecessor. I will lead my master of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the dissidents. I also ask the general for permission."

When Chen Ze heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

But he still said with a cold face.

"Come here, detain this thief and bring him back to the capital, and wait for His Majesty to deal with him!"

The power of life and death belongs exclusively to the emperor, and Chen Ze himself does not count.

Whether Zu Zeqing can survive or not depends on the emperor's attitude.

……

After the naval battle off Tsushima Island was over, the Ming army was preparing to land on Tsushima Island.

As a buffer zone between North Korea and Japan, Tsushima Island can be described as a strategic location, and its geographical location is quite important.

It can be said that whoever controls Tsushima will control the initiative in the war.

It is impossible for Daming to let such an important place be controlled by the Qing army!

The recovery of Tsushima Island is also one of the tasks of the East China Sea Fleet's expedition.

There is nothing wrong with using the word "Recovery" in the whole world!

Even if Ming's army goes to Europe in the future, it can be regained.

The Ming army's fleet appeared mightily on the sea off Tsushima Island.

A series of heavy artillery aimed at the direction of Tsushima Island!
Boom!Boom!
The Ming army began to unscrupulously pour firepower towards Tsushima Island.

Gunpowder smoke fills the air, and heavy artillery roars!
A round of shells drew an arc in the air and smashed towards the pier.

Boom!Boom!
Explosions continued to sound, and solid shells splashed the broken wood on the pier.

The fort set up by the Qing army on the pier began to fight back!
Amidst the roar, shells fired at the fleet of the Ming army.

But all have little effect!

The shells fell into the sea, smashing out columns of water.

Some shells happened to hit the warships of the Ming army, but they had no effect at all.

Only large and small potholes were left on the side of the warships of the Ming army. The shells lost their kinetic energy and were embedded in the wooden hull, but they could not penetrate the armor.

Although the confrontation between the fleet and the fort is not advantageous, it also scores what kind of fort and fleet it is.

When the Duck War broke out in history, the Humen Fort of the Qing Dynasty and the British warships confronted each other, and the Humen Fort was beaten unilaterally.

But now, although the Qing army's fort defense on Tsushima Island is definitely better than the Humen Fort 200 years later.

However, the performance of the naval guns used by the Ming army's fleet is far superior to that used by the British army in the Duck War.

All front-loading rifled steel guns are machined by steam engines, and the performance is absolutely guaranteed!
The shells were as dense as raindrops, and they kept hitting the fort on Tsushima Island.

Amidst the rumbling explosions, the cement fort was also shaken a little bit.

In Daming, things like cement were no secret at all.

In addition, over the past few years, the imperial court has promoted large-scale infrastructure projects, and a large amount of cement is required to be put into use everywhere.

Where there is demand, there will be supply!
Naturally, there are more and more private cement factories, and the outflow of cement will naturally occur.

This is inevitable!
The Manchu Qing also used cement when building forts.

However, in the face of the heavy artillery firepower of the Ming army, the concrete fort built by the Qing Dynasty could not play the expected role.

Amidst the rumbling explosion, a fort of the Qing army collapsed.

The firing of the remaining forts also stopped suddenly, as if they were frightened.

The landing troops of the Ming army took advantage of the situation and launched an attack!

The soldiers of the Marine Corps desperately paddled their small boats, and under the cover of their own artillery fire, they rushed to the beach to land on the beach.

Waiting in front of these landing craft, two steel plates for protection are welded.

And in the middle of the two steel plates, the muzzle of a rotary machine gun protruded.

This rotary machine gun is used to provide fire cover for the landing troops of one's own side when landing on the beach.

It hasn't been long since the invention of the revolving machine gun in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the output has been given to the fleet of the Eastern Expedition.

Prepare to send them to the battlefield to verify how well the new weapons perform!

From the current point of view, the lethality of the rotary machine gun is still considerable, and its role on the battlefield is also very large.

Especially when it is used to attack infantry and provide fire suppression for one's own side, its effectiveness is beyond doubt.

The only problem is, it's too expensive!
