Chapter 399 Zhenjiang Showdown (The Tenth Moon
The so-called navy fleet is not the closer the better. Sometimes maintaining a certain distance between ships is also conducive to the development of combat effectiveness.
Of course, the ships should not be too far away from each other, otherwise it would be very difficult to echo.
"Yeah, I get it."
Although Ma Fengzhi was a little unhappy, he also knew that he was on the same boat as Shi Lang at this moment, and that only by taking down Zhenjiang could he reflect his value to the greatest extent.
"Go ahead."
Shi Lang took a deep breath and gave the order.
Although this process is destined to be casualties and even warships are sunk, Shi Lang still has to order an attack.
As long as you win Zhenjiang, it is worth it no matter how much the price you pay.
...
...
"The Tartars attacked!"
Zheng Kui issued a warning immediately.
Zheng Jing's heartbeat accelerated sharply, his whole face flushed, and his two fists were tightly clenched.
This is his first fight with Shi Lang.
The father hated this person very much. If Zheng Jing could not show his abilities, he would be unable to face his father if he lost the face of the Zheng family.
"Let's fire!"
The Ming army had sufficient artillery and ammunition, so there was no need to save any money.
Zheng Jing didn't plan to fall apart in such a trivial matter.
After the military order was conveyed, the soldiers of the Zheng family army loaded the ammunition and ignited the lead.
But with the rumbling sounds, shells flew out from the city and smashed straight towards the Qing navy on the river.
Although Shi Lang had ordered the fleet to disperse in advance, warships were still inevitably hit.
Some shells hit the side of the ship, some hit the deck, and even hit the mast directly.
The wooden warships were very afraid of bombardment by shells. In just one round, many warships broke through holes and began to leak.
"It's leaking, it's leaking!"
The Qing soldiers on the ship became panicked for a moment.
It is only a matter of time before the shipwreck will continue according to this situation. They will jump off the ship before they completely sink.
Otherwise, the whirlpool caused by the shipwreck would directly sweep them into the bottom of the river, and even if they wanted to escape, they would not be able to escape.
The officers could not restrain this. After all, no one wanted to wait for death here, and some officers even jumped into the river without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Shi Lang had no choice.
This was something he expected.
I can only say that if you want to conquer Zhenjiang, the price you should pay is to pay.
"This distance should be enough. Order the navy of the entire army to bombard the city to fight back!"
Although the guns were installed on the ship and the effect of bombarding the city head would not be very good, Shi Lang still had to fight back.
Otherwise, it would be too bad for being suppressed by the Ming army's firepower.
"Get orders!"
The flag officers on the flagship played the flag verbs, which was the most common way of transmission in water wars.
After seeing this, the other ships understood the general's intentions and began to load shells and aimed at the top of the city.
"shoot!"
For a moment, hundreds of shells flew towards the head of Zhenjiang City.
Although these cannons are far less powerful than red cannons, they can't stand many of them.
The shells hit the city wall without much movement, but when they hit the battlement, the city tower was completely different.
For a moment, rubble was flying, and many Ming soldiers on the city were directly killed or indirectly killed by stones.
Zheng Jing was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Zheng Kui advised: "Your Highness, let's avoid it. It's too dangerous to go to the top of the city."
Zheng Jing roared: "I will not go anywhere, I will blow it, and I will blow it hard!"
