"Full rudder, full rudder!" Liu Laoliu shouted at the top of his lungs. The five-masted ship was like a dragon in the sea. But when it arrived in the harbor, it couldn't use its skills. The hull was really too big, and it couldn't move at high speed when turning.

The avoidance was reduced. In less than half an hour, three mortar shells had hit the hull.

One of them took out the auxiliary mast, and Liu Laoliu was extremely anxious now. The most important thing now was to get the ship out of the harbor. This big treasure could not be sunk under any circumstances.

The house leaked and it rained all night. In panic, Liu Laoliu had already left the channel. Today's tide was very strong, but it could not submerge all the rocks. Just when Liu Laoliu screamed at the top of his lungs, the hull of the boat shook as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

Once. Then, there was a creepy "creak" sound coming from the left string.

A thought quickly flashed in Liu Laoliu's mind, he was on the rocks!

There was a volley like a storm, and the central turret flashed with explosive spots one after another. But when the smoke cleared, with the help of the silver moonlight, there was no obvious collapse of the central turret. In fact, a burst of volleys even left holes.

None of them came out.

"Damn it! What is this thing made of?" Li Xiu's eyes were as wide as cow's eggs, and he couldn't believe it was true.

"Turn around, turn around! Let the artillery fire from the other side fire!" Li Xiu urged his men like crazy. Li Hu should have already boarded the sampan at this time. If the central fort is not killed, this thing will bring huge consequences to the landing force.

Damage, God knows if a mortar shell will fall at Li Hu's feet.

"Immediately give the signal to the rear and ask them to prepare the arsenal ship." If there is really no way, the arsenal ship can only be used. If the arsenal ship has no other way, it can only let the group move forward under gunfire. The casualties behind it,

It must also be shocking.

Li Hu was lying on the sampan, and bullets were flying "swish" and "swish" on his head. Hei Niu just poked his head out, and a bullet grazed his scalp and flew past. The iron hat on his head

A deep ditch was carved out, and the black cow was so frightened that he quickly lay down. Even if he lost his life!

Seeing this scene, everyone no longer disliked the weight of the iron hat. They tightened the straps, fearing that the iron hat would fall off when running. At the critical moment, this thing can really save lives!

Bullets are flying across the sea now, and from time to time, big iron balls from the Folan cannon are blasted from a distance. Big ships are not afraid of these things, but a hit from a small sampan can be fatal.

Everyone lay down on the small sampan and let the tide push the sampan towards the shore. Regardless of whether they believed in ghosts or gods, they all begged the gods whose names they knew to bless themselves. Even the landlady on the ground was not spared!

"Boom!" Li Hu saw a sampan in front of him, and a ball of sparks burst out. Then in the light of the fire, he could see that the man was overturned into the sea, and a lot of wood stubble hit Li Hu's head and body. The steel helmet made a "Bang" sound.

"Bang" muffled sound.

People who fall into the sea begin to sink without even taking a bubble.

Not only is he wearing a steel helmet on his head, but he is also carrying a heavy gun on his back. Including bayonets, ammunition and a lot of other things, it weighs twenty or thirty kilograms. No matter how good you are in water, you will be stunned by the shells.

After that, I couldn’t swim with dozens of kilograms of stuff.

"Bang!" Another cannonball exploded in the sea water around him, and the surge caused by the explosion almost knocked the small sampan over.

Li Hu held on to the side of the boat. Thank God the boat didn't capsize. Otherwise, the body might not even be found!

"Get off the boat, get off the boat! Jump from both sides!" As soon as the boat stopped, the black cow roared loudly.

Li Hu felt the collar around his neck tighten, and the black cow picked him up and dragged him down.

Another artillery shell exploded not far away, and the black mud from the explosion hit him head and face.

Hei Niu threw Li Hu to the ground like a sandbag, and then he lay down next to Li Hu and started loading bullets into the firecracker!

"Suppress the bullets! Find cover!" Black Bull roared loudly while suppressing the bullets.

"Boom" Li Hu was pressing the bullet, and a mortar shell landed not far from Li Hu. "Dog...!" Li Hu saw the artillery shell falling on Gouzi.

A heat wave filled Li Hu's mouth with sand. In the smoke, Li Hu saw Gouzi's upper body being thrown up by a huge force. His lower body was thrown directly into the sea!

Gouzi had a bit of a bad mouth, but he was still a nice person. He usually helped Li Hu with whistle duties, but he didn't expect that he would be gone in such a blink of an eye.

"Fuck it! Mortars, concentrate on bombarding the enemy's central fort." Almost in an instant, the landing group suffered heavy casualties. Ao Canghai's eyes were red. The first division was the main force of the Liao army.

The regiment is the main force of the first division, and this regiment is the old foundation brought up by Ao Canghai.

There were more than thirty mortars on the deck of the Qianliu ship. After hearing Ao Canghai's order, all the mortars began to bombard the central fort.

The rate of fire of the artillery guns was unparalleled, coupled with Li Xiu's naval guns. For a moment, the central fort was like a lit firework tree, with orange flames blooming on it. Heat waves surged, and shrapnel flew across.

The artilleryman couldn't raise his head, and the calculationsman didn't dare to stick his head out to check the impact point of the bullet.

Chen Seal was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he didn't dare to stick his head out. Just now, there was a gangster who didn't believe in evil, but a piece of naval gun shrapnel killed off his head.

"Get down, get down! I'll f*ck those who landed here and throw them down! These are not Japanese pirates, these are the f*cking Liao army." Chen Seal had some experience. When the east and west fortresses were bombarded by naval guns,

He knew that what was coming was not Japanese pirates, but Li Xiao's gunboat.

What the hell are Japanese pirates invading? It’s just Li Xiao who comes to seize Shandong’s territory.

But there is no way, no news can be sent out now. If it is really the Liao army, it is really uncertain whether they can survive until tomorrow.

After several days of excavation, several trenches were dug in Penglai Port. Shi Kefa was not the only one who learned the tactics of the Liao army. Since Chen Hailong bought a large amount of arms from both armies, he naturally wanted to figure out how the Liao army fought.

.

The soldiers of the Chen family used the trench cover to avoid artillery fire and shot at the Liao soldiers who landed. The Liao soldiers finally got a taste of the power of their own weapons.

The bullets, with their whistles, took away one life after another. The coast was strewn with corpses, washed up by the waves and constantly floating in the sea.

Li Xiao was also a little shocked. He didn't expect that the small Penglai Port was so difficult to attack. Especially the central fort, it was still standing under the constant fire. What the hell is this thing's structure? Even reinforced concrete can't stand it.

Such a bombardment.

"Arsenal ship is ready! Target the enemy's central fort! Get closer and shoot ten." As a last resort, Li Xiao could only use the arsenal ship. One group has landed, and now if we carry out covering fire, it will definitely affect the first group. There is no way, rockets

The bullet is too powerful.

Li Hu was shooting desperately. The bullets shot towards the enemy with arcs of light under the silver moonlight. Then the enemy's bullets came over!

Since the enemy's artillery fire was suppressed, casualties began to plummet. Li Hu finally understood, because Brother Mao always said that fighting depends on artillery, not the gun in your hand.

The two parties were shooting at each other with firecrackers. It looked like they were setting off firecrackers during the New Year. But in fact, there were not many casualties on both sides. It was dark and chaotic. If you could hit one person with ten shots, you were lucky.

Especially when one party is lying down and the other party is squatting in the trench. When the target is reduced, it is even more difficult to hit.

Because you need to lie down on the ground, the reloading speed is very slow. But fortunately, there are more than 60 mortars in one group, most of which bombard the central fort. There are also a dozen cannons to suppress the Chen Jiabing in the trench. For a while,

During the period, the two sides fought evenly.

"Bah...! Grandma, I thought the Liao soldiers were so powerful. Now it looks like this. Brothers, give me a hard beating. Get the trebuchet ready!" Chen Seal used the observation hole in the fort.

, see the situation outside.

As long as he holds on here until Chen Hailong organizes an army to attack, Li Xiao will be exposed, and the charge of seducing the Japanese invaders will be slapped on his head.

When the time comes, without anything else, the saliva of the entire Ming Dynasty will drown Li Xiao. The imperial court will also send a large army to encircle and suppress the Liao army. Even if Li Xiao has three heads and six arms, it is absolutely impossible to fight against the entire Ming Dynasty.

The trebuchet trick was also learned from Li Xiao. He hid the trebuchet in the corner of the trench, completely hidden underground. From the shore, it couldn't be seen at all.

After the trebuchet is hung up, a grenade is set on fire and placed on it. Throw it out, and the effect is very similar to a mortar. If the grenade explodes in the air, it will be even worse. The scattered shrapnel will hit the Liao army lying on the ground.

, causing a lot of damage. The Liao army had steel helmets, but they didn’t have body armor these days.

Li Hu saw the sand in front of him suddenly pressing towards him. He quickly lowered his head and pointed the helmet towards the sand. He heard a muffled "boom" in his ears and the helmet made a clanking sound. He didn't know.

Was it a stone hitting it, or a shrapnel from something?

Shaking the dirt off his head, Li Hu saw Hei Niu shouting something to him. He saw Hei Niu's mouth opening and closing constantly, but he couldn't hear what Hei Niu was shouting.

"Why are you so stupid? Get down! Get down!" Hei Niu shouted several times. He saw Li Hu still standing in a daze. He stood up, kicked Li Hu down, and then ran as fast as he could.

Lie down too.

A bullet hit Hei Niu's head again, and the steel helmet emitted arc light. This iron hat saved his life for the second time today. Hei Niu, who threw himself to the ground, swore that from now on he would wear this iron hat.

I don't plan to take it off anymore.

There were more than a hundred sampans in the first batch, but less than 30% of the sampans came back. The rest were either blown to pieces or abandoned on the shore with no one to sail back. This resulted in, on the sea,

There is only one remaining group that is floating, and the second group cannot come up at all.

Ao Canghai was so anxious that his head was spinning, but there was nothing he could do. You can't let a soldier swim ashore!

The central fort is still standing there. Although it was blown up like a pockmark, it was not seriously damaged. The mortars in the fort can still fire a few rounds from time to time. Maybe the gunner was injured or killed, or maybe the shells

Not enough, the artillery fire was not as intensive as before.

But the grenades thrown by the trebuchet actually caused a lot of casualties. The grenades thrown by the trebuchet can be thrown very far, and it does not cost much to train. The guys who control the trebuchet, throw grenades

Very accurate.

Often wherever there was a muzzle flash, they would control the trebuchet to overdraft that way. The effect was even greater than a fucking mortar.

"Kill those trebuchets." Hei Niu knew that the artillerymen could not hear what he was saying, but he still roared at the top of his lungs.

When the black bull was roaring, Ao Canghai also roared with the same roar. But the artillery couldn't do anything, and there was no fire when the trebuchet was launched. I really didn't know where this thing was hidden.

Li Hu felt pain in every joint in his body, especially the burning pain in his shoulders. There was a sharp buzzing in his ears, which seemed like a whistle but always maintained the same tune. His head was dizzy, he felt nauseous, and he felt like vomiting.

.

In the trench opposite, there were flashes of light one after another. Li Hu knew that it was the flash of the enemy's gun. Suddenly, Li Hu noticed a flash that was different. This thing carried sparks and flew into the sky. Then it landed on a

A ball of fire exploded next to the Liao soldiers.

Trebuchet! Li Hu suddenly understood that that thing was a trebuchet. The thing thrown must be a grenade! The original grenade still used a medicinal twister, so it would emit sparks when thrown.

This trebuchet must be killed. If they are allowed to continue firing like this, I don't know how many brothers will be unlucky.

Enduring the huge pain, Li Hu crawled forward step by step. Every time he climbed, the pain in his body almost made him faint.
To be continued...
