Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 209: go back

After the explosion, the pier was a mess, the air was full of the choking smell of gunpowder, and there were burning fires everywhere. ⊙, The Qing soldiers who survived the disaster looked at everything in front of them in a daze, and their ears were full of the screams of their injured companions.

The large and small warships docked at the dock were hit by the explosion to varying degrees, and the nearest ships were directly blown up, causing the water surface to be covered with shipboards, and the drowning sailors hugged the boards and shouted for help. In the distance, the fire in the camp is still burning, and the entire fish market entrance is brightly red, and the sky-high fire can be seen from more than ten miles away.

After the sergeant Dude straightened up with the help of the personal soldiers, the scene in front of him made him feel like he was struck by lightning, and he muttered in a daze: "It's over, it's over, the navy is over."

Guo Tielong, who was thrown into the air when the explosion was born, was really dead. He didn't fall to the ground but fell into the river. Although he didn't break his bones, he really choked on several saliva. Feed the Wang Ba in Jiangzhong early. After climbing ashore, just like Du De, he also had the thought of "the sailor is finished" in his heart, and his whole body was as soulless as a chicken in soup.

Like Du De and Guo Tielong, most of the navy officers who survived the disaster were pessimistic about their future. A fire in the camp would not damage the foundation of the navy. Guangzhou is to transport food again, but the warships that were washed up on the dock are really the lifeblood of the navy. Looking at those warships that have fallen apart, the navy is about to cry without tears.

The exact number of medicines stored in the medicine store is probably not known to Liang Biaoxiang, the chief officer of the Guangdong Navy, but one thing he is sure of is that it will never be less than 10,000 catties.

Since the time of the old Hongqi navy, he had to fight other pirates from time to time because of his long-term life at sea, and even fought against the white-skinned and tall-nosed Franco and the Dutch, which made Liang Biaoxiang attach great importance to artillery. , Basically, each ship is equipped with more than ten large and small artillery pieces, and there are as many medicines as there are.

With the powerful firepower on board. Coupled with his gang of desperate brothers, it took only ten years for Liang Biaoxiang to become the "red flag thief" in the mouth of Ling Haishang, a big bandit who had changed the color of the past sea ships, and a Ming Dynasty. The Guangdong authorities are a thorn in the flesh. Until Liang Biaoxiang accepted the Qing army's recruiting and led the Red Flag Navy to be changed to the Qingguang Navy. Even the largest pirate at sea, the Zheng family, was a bit polite to him, and all of this was based on his construction of naval forces, and the most fundamental thing was the use of artillery.

Relying on the large and small artillery on the ship, Liang Biaoxiang led the Hongqi navy across the South China Sea, not to mention the king and hegemony. But in the area outside the South China Sea, who would not give him face, and which passing seaboat would not pay tribute to him, even the Dutchman with a high nose would still pay the road money, or Mr. Liang would let you both. Going to Taiwan smoothly? The Zheng family's fleet is large, but haven't they said hello to Liang Ye and sent them money for peace?

Over time, Liang Biaoxiang formed an inherent idea that as long as there are more guns on board, there will be enough medicine. No one dares to be an enemy of their own, and they can fight whichever they want! However, what Liang Biaoxiang never imagined was that the real naval battle was not the sea robbery he was accustomed to, nor was it more powerful than guns.

In the battle of Xinhui, the warships of Nanming Chen Qice's department were not as many as Liang Biaoxiang, but they just defeated the Guangdong Navy, and then Deng Yao, who was also not as strong as the Guangdong Navy, took advantage of the terrain of Qinzhou Island to fight. Liang Biaoxiang was in an ambush, and these two battles wiped out the red flag sailor who Liang Biaoxiang relied on to start his career. If it weren't for the fact that he managed to piece together more than 300 boats with merchant ships and fishing boats. This Guangdong Navy has long since disappeared.

There are more than 300 ships, and each ship has been improved. In order to make these merchant ships look more like warships, Liang Biaoxiang also tried his best to search for artillery. At all costs, he bought a large number of red cannons with the Franco machine, and even unloaded several of the original Ming army's fort on the Pearl River. Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, reported more than 300 large and small cannons. It sounded like he had regained his strength overnight, but the Guangdong navy had long since rotted, and most of the sailors were fishermen who had been recruited by force. The pirates who originally followed Liang Biaoxiang to seek a life at sea died early, and few really understood water warfare.

After receiving the order from Shang Kexi to go to Xinhui to intercept the reinforcements of the Ming army along the river, Liang Biaoxiang bravely led his troops to Yushikou. Bring all the medicines. As soon as the navy arrived at Yushikou, he asked people to unload dozens of cannons from the boat to the shore, and he was stunned to get a cannon at Yushikou. Liang Biao told his subordinates that once the Ming army navy really invaded, the navy would meet the whole army, and there would be forts on the shore to suppress it. This is also true. There are navy soldiers on the river and forts on the shore. The water 6 echoes, and it is indeed the Ming army navy who can suppress the intruders. I never thought that the reinforcements of the Ming army did not invade in a big way, but they were blown up by a fire.

The drug storehouse was basically built in the fort. When the explosion occurred, it was the dozens of artillery pieces that were unloaded from the ship. The violent explosion caused these artillery pieces to fall apart. scattered. Some unfortunate Qing soldiers just ran out of the fire, and before they could catch their breath, they were hit by the barrels of the guns that fell from the sky, turning them into a mess.

This sudden explosion really hit the gate of the Guangdong Navy with a knife. Most of the large and small warships docked on the pier were refitted from merchant ships and fishing boats. The seams of this kind of ship are much worse than the real warships. , and most of them were ships running on the river. Few were sea ships that could withstand strong winds and waves. As a result, after the explosion, most of the ships were overturned, and the few ships closest to the drug store were directly overturned. Liang Biaoxiang's boat is a real sea-going boat, and the hull is very solid, but even so, several dragon columns were interrupted by the bumps.

No one in the navy has ever seen a big explosion of this scale, and no one has seen the impact and destruction caused by the big explosion. When the smoke cleared, the still alive Qing soldiers still did not recover from the shock of the big explosion. Come on, some timid Qing soldiers are already in a state of disintegration.

Liang Biaoxiang's lieutenant, Zheng Guanghe, was even more dazed than the frightened personal soldiers. He repeated the same sentence back and forth in front of Liang Biaoxiang, "Brother, it's over, the navy is over, it's over. !"

Liang Biaoxiang was already frightened and disturbed. Zheng Guanghe's swaying and worrying words made him very upset. He slapped him on the face with a wave of his hand, and scolded: "What are you panicking, the sky hasn't fallen yet!"

"The boat has been blown up like this, what else can we do?" Zheng Guanghe cried and covered half of his face with a look of grievance.

"What's the matter if the boat is gone~www.NovelMTL.com~As long as people are there!"

When he said this, Liang Biaoxiang's face was aching. Seeing that the soldiers on the left and right were like dead parents, he immediately glared at Zheng Guanghe, angering him and messing up the military's heart.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Zheng Guanghe was always afraid of Liang Biaoxiang, and when he saw his eldest brother's ugly face, he was too frightened to say more.

Liang Biaoxiang did not return to him, but after staring at the pier with black smoke for a while, Fang exhaled and gritted his teeth: "Go back to Changzhou Island!"

"go back?"

Zheng Guanghe was stunned for a moment. He thought that his eldest brother would say that he would go out to sea, but he did not want his eldest brother to go back. Thinking of the reaction of King Pingnan of Guangzhou after returning, he was a little hesitant.

Liang Biaoxiang glanced at him, but did not explain anything, and urged Zheng Guanghe to immediately take someone to lift the anchor and sail the boat. Zheng Guanghe asked what to do with the other boats, and Liang Biaoxiang didn't care so much. As long as the boats that can go keep up, those who can't go stay here and wait for the dawn, and someone will come to deal with it. (To be continued.)
