Chapter 69 Artillery

The general of the camp obviously had no time to receive a warning from Wang Rulong. He had probably just arrived from Huizhou Prefecture or Conghua, and saw that the Japanese pirates had set up camps and looted shops and houses outside the city, so he thought about killing them for a while. If he led the troops, he would kill them for a while.

Scattered Japanese pirates carried large and small bags in groups. Seeing that the government army was running too late, they dared not rush to fight again, and they all ran to the camp.

Occasionally, a brave and skilled Japanese pirates summoned more than a dozen subordinates to fight with the official army, and in a blink of an eye, more soldiers were rushed up and submerged in the crowd.

One-on-one, the victory or defeat of the pirates who were trying to make a living from the knife may be between 55, hundreds and hundreds. Perhaps the pirates are slightly less courageous and may be defeated by the Japanese pirates, but more to less, the Japanese pirates will die almost when the pirates surge up.

The soldiers rushed through the streets and alleys and became more and more brave. They followed them to fight and drove the general out of the market. They counted the casualties and saw that they were not injured, but they killed dozens of heads in two streets. They were eager to try the newly built camps outside the city.

Of course, they just wanted to try it. The Japanese pirates did not leave the camp and did not dare to attack the camp rashly. The battle was very different from street fighting, not to mention that they had much less staff, so they were just stationed at the intersection of Fangshi outside the city and fired muskets from a long distance to attack the pirates who were carrying large and small bags and throwing their backs to them.

Chen Mu looked at the camp soldiers from afar and couldn't help but sneer at the operation of this. Just the broken musket, who wanted to hit someone fifty or sixty steps?

It’s true that hundreds of muskets were raised and fired volleys, and they could really shoot a few of them. Some could stand up and limp, while others just lay on the ground and rolled up.

"A man sent a message to tell the general Japanese pirates to have cannons, so he should be careful; then send someone to fly to Qianhu's office with a fast horse, and be sure to send it to Bai Qianhu in person, so that Brother Bai can quickly find Chen Chaojue to discuss countermeasures!"

Chen Mu's mind was spinning fast. This time, Yibi broke through the coastal defense and robbed Xin'an and attacked Guangzhou Prefecture. The sea was Chen Lin's defense area, and the navy could not escape the blame.

To be fair, coastal defense is not like land defense. The Lingdingyang, which is hundreds of miles wide, cannot be defended by just a few boats, let alone guard against Xin'an, Xinhui and Xiangshan. Chen Lin's hands were under two large and small boats, which could not be defended at all.

But this is his responsibility. It is his fault that the thieves have broken the sea defense.

Chen Chaojue also helped him. Now that he has obtained the first-hand information of the enemy warship, he has to send someone to send him back to Qianhu Station. Bai Yuanjie contacted Chen Lin on the sea. He estimated that Chen Lin should be about to reach the Xiangshan Sea, so he would definitely be rushing to Guangcheng in a hurry.

I am not afraid that he will come late, but I am afraid that more than a dozen large and small ships will plunge into the Wuwei Fu Ship of Zeng San Lao and the White Boats, and they will be bombarded in a blink of an eye!

It is not possible to rely on Chen Lin alone, unless all the warships of Chen Lin's naval division are mobilized in Xiangshan, and only after the land battle kills the enemy's troops, naval battles can be fought.

Qi Zhengyan was extremely cautious and sent a person to inform the general of the camp and then bowed to him and said, "Mr. Chen, I will send you this in person."

Taking Chen Mu to answer, Qi Zhengyan bowed to Long Junxiong, ran down the hillside and found a fast horse and galloped towards the Qianhu Suo in Xiangshan.

However, outside the city, Chen Mu clearly saw his commander's formation in his telescope. The general looked towards the hillside and clearly received the news. He paused but continued to march towards the enemy's camp, which made Chen Mu a little angry.

At first glance, hundreds of pirates walked out of the camp, and there were thieves with swords and shoulder strides forward. There were two rows of Japanese swimmers dancing with gold fan fan in front of the formation. It looked quite like that.

Chen Mu held the telescope and ran down the mountain road, heading straight to the artillery position led by Wei Balang.

To be honest, he was upset when he saw the Japanese wielding a golden fan in front of the formation. This crazy and proud battalion soldier was willing to move forward even though he knew that the enemy had artillery. He was not in charge of others' death.

But these dancing Japanese men must die.

Chen Mu led several soldiers to run on the mountain road, not only reflected in the eyes of the camp soldiers, but also could see clearly the pirates who walked out of the camp. The camp soldiers were not sure what they were thinking, and the pirates were no longer calm.

They saw several cannons with muzzles exposed under the hillside, not one or two, but a cannon connected together. Even if they couldn't see what kind of cannon it was, the most time they were set up in this way was the Franc aircraft.

Even gadgets like Franchise, they can't stand it.

What's more, this is not a Franc.

"Change the gun position, 600 steps per goal, release it!"

Chen Mu ran and gave an order. Wei Balang also shouted an order on the position in the voice of a duck. The artillery soldiers at the edge of the artillery were inserted into fuses and poured in guiding medicine to ignite it. After a moment, a loud noise was deafening under the hillside.

boom!

The cannon was out of the borehole, the artillery was violently seated, the cannon was almost knocked down, and the smoke and dust flew together.

Chen Mu believed that the support wood of the cannon truck could be improved and the excess recoil was removed to the ground, otherwise the cannon truck would sooner or later become rotten if it went down like this.

"Clear the chamber!"

Master Wei Balang had the momentum of an officer. After giving the order, he only covered his right ear facing the cannon. Although he was lowered, he stood straight. His eyes were shiny and he looked straight at the Japanese pirates' position in the distance. Before the cannon smoke had dissipated, Chen Mu had heard Wei Balang raise his hand and point the second cannon right and said: "Close! One cannon is 650 steps each, adjust the cannon position, prepare!"

The five-pound shell fell in the westward direction of the pirates' formation, smashing a large area of ​​dust. Thirty or forty steps apart made the Japanese pirates' formation suddenly fall, but then it made them even more arrogant. Some even raised their hands and raised their swords above their heads and shook their power towards the artillery position.

Hachiro's performance reassuring Chen Mu. He raised his telescope again and looked at the Japanese pirate formation. After a moment, another cannon not far away roared again.

boom!

The smoke of gunfire was filled with guns. Chen Mu heard the sound of ships and cannons coming from the shore. Even though he was thousands of steps away, he could still hear the continuous gun sounds. In a short time, almost thirty or forty ships and guns fired at the same time. The sound was the Franchis that he was extremely familiar with.

At all directions and angles, the other side of the hillside bounces like rain.

No use.

The maximum range of the Fran cannon can sometimes reach four miles, which is enough to hit them in the distance, but it is blocked by the right hillside. This murder cannon with a long distance and small arc can accurately hit the hillside.

Even the artillery guards under Chen Mu's subordinates who have such gun-type angle and range calculations cannot hit such a target at such a long distance. It is even more impossible for a pirate with his experience alone, even if he is more experienced!

Falled!

Chen Mu heard cheers from the artillery on the position, but turned around and missed the best time. He could only see dozens of Japanese pirates scattered away through the telescope, and five kilograms of artillery shells smashed a bloody road of seven or eight steps, smashing many Japanese pirates in a row.

Turning back, he saw Wei Balang pursing his lips slightly in the smoke, and he held up the helmet that covered his eyes, slowly pulled out his waist knife and ordered loudly, saying, "Six hundred and fifty steps, let it go!"

Five cannons were bombed out together!
