Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

Chapter 178 Firepower Cleanses the Ground

After reading the ones with words, Liu Bohong and others looked at the weapons of these people.

The firearms confiscated this time are divided into three types. Generally speaking, they belong to a large category of flintlock guns, with hexagonal rifling, which greatly increases the stability of bullet shooting. .

The flintlock gun is an improvement on the revolving musket.

The flintlock gun removes the spring steel wheel, clamps a flint on the jaw of the hammer, and has an anvil next to the fire hole.

When shooting, pull the trigger, and under the action of the spring, the flint will be hit heavily on the edge of the fire door, sparks will come out, and the gunpowder will be ignited to fire.

The flintlock gun greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and has low cost, making it convenient for mass production.

And these are all based on high-precision parts production.

Liu Bohong and others became serious.

They can all see that the shooting accuracy of this kind of gun is much higher than their shotguns, and the production cost and difficulty are lower than their current rifled guns.

If the night attack hadn't caught them off guard, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

Liu Bohong made a decision immediately.

"Send these guns to the capital at once! Report to His Majesty immediately. It's best to order the Ministry of Industry and Research Institute to imitate them as soon as possible!"

"As for tomorrow..."

"Let's cover them with large-scale firepower and catch them by surprise first!"

Not to mention, although Daqian is half a step behind Country E in terms of muskets, it is far ahead in terms of cannons and other small firearms.

This is particularly useful when fire power is needed to clear the ground.

There are six types of cannons alone, most of them are front-loaded cannons, and there are also many breech-loaded cannons.

The large ones are used for siege, while the small ones are relatively mobile and can be pushed by as many as five or six people or as few as two or three people. When needed, they can be placed underground.Load submunition bombs and fire on the spot.

Most of the vehicles used to transport these small guns were wheelbarrows and tricycles.The smallest ones use a wheelbarrow and can be pushed by one person, while the larger ones use a tricycle and can be pulled by a mule.

Because of the convenience of movement, Liu Bohong made an unexpected sneak attack plan.

Blow up all the ships of these e-countrymen!

Now, all the e-country ships in this part are parked in the port.

As long as they find the right distance and fire several salvos - because their shells also have ignition effects, not just use kinetic energy to make holes - these ships will all be scrapped.

Then, once our own people occupy this port, the e people on this land will have no way to supply. If they start fighting again, it will be like catching a turtle in a urn.

You must know that with a terrain like Annan, taller people are not better. On the contrary, the local people's body shape makes it easier to move around in the jungle, including laying ambushes.

There are some similarities between the people in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions and the Annan region, and there are even some natives who came back and forth from the two countries.They all have dark skin, thin bodies, deep eye sockets and short nose bridges.

Wearing camouflage with leaves and hiding all the equipment in the jungle near the dock, no one can find it.

In order to avoid ambushing the frightened birds and attracting the attention of the enemy, Liu Bohong also sent a Fujian man who was good at ventriloquism to learn the sounds of some raptors, so that the enemy would not be suspicious even if they saw the birds being frightened. .

Sneaking in so quietly, the dock ships were within range.

At midnight, everyone who should be sleeping fell asleep, and the lights on the ship were extinguished. After waiting quietly for a while, the general leading the team waved his hand -

"put!"

It should be noted that these artillerymen are also skilled workers. They need to aim at them. Naturally, they do not suffer from night blindness. They eat at least one egg a day and eat liver every other day. Their eyes are very bright.

At this time, hundreds of large and small cannons fired together, like meteors from the sky, with a loud noise, hitting the ships on the dock, and the roar was continuous.

There are also things to pay attention to when hitting a ship. If you use a solid bullet from a muzzle-loading cannon, it will be a big ball. The main thing you hit is a parabola. You have to hit it hard enough to have enough lethality. The main purpose is to destroy the ship. Smashed and leaked.

If a breech-loading cannon is used, the shells fired will explode in mid-air, with shrapnel flying and sparks bursting out. This is used to hit people and start fires. It must be placed on the deck or side of the ship where there are people or where it is convenient to start fires. Place to fight.

After two volleys of ringing bells and banging bells, the ships on the pier were already engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. Some people died while still sleeping, and some were covered in fire and could only jump into the water.

No one shouted to put out the fire anymore. Everyone on the boat was desperately trying to swim to the shore. However, there were already soldiers waiting at the port to catch one, and two to catch a pair.

These enemy troops were first awakened from their sleep, and then they were bombarded with shells and set on fire. It took a lot of effort to swim to the shore. They were already exhausted. How could they resist?

Therefore, it was like being beaten by Daqian soldiers to catch a rabbit.

When the dust settled, Liu Bohong stood on the pier that had been burned more than half, with his hands behind his back.

"If we repair here, we can also send supplies to our own people."

"By the way, the keels of those sunken ships are all good things. Remember to ask someone to fish them out later. Let's take them back and repair them. If they are good, we can imitate them. If they are not good enough, we can put them on the ship again and put them to use."

The wharf was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and bodies were gradually rising to the surface.

"Search the corpses and burn everything that should be burned, so as not to cause a plague."

As the order was issued, the soldiers moved in an orderly manner.

"Send two more teams of scouts to see where the enemy troops are currently stationed. If conditions permit, attack!"

"Nothing you capture is allowed to be kept privately! If you are discovered, you will be punished! However, the team that captures the most will receive a reward, and other teams will also receive rewards based on the value of the seizure!"

"Hurry up and retrieve the solid bullets! Scout again to see if there are any enemy troops around!"

"The artillery battalion is stationed on the spot, and the musketry battalion is on patrol!"

After a hard night's work, the army began to make rice.

Because it is at the beach, most of the food you can eat is fish, shrimp, and sea vegetables. It is not lacking in salty taste, but the taste is limited. After all, many fish and shrimp are not very fresh, and the processing is not good enough, and the seasoning is not enough.

The umami flavor is there, but it's more fishy.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers were from southern Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi, and were accustomed to this taste. They ate the mixed noodle pancakes with fish soup without any delay.

However, generals like Liu Bohong who came from Beijing were not used to eating it. Fortunately, the fish used by the generals was not salted fish but fresh fish, so it tasted okay.

Then there is a bowl of medicine for each person to treat acclimatization.

However, they are not acclimated to the local environment, and those of the e-army are only more acclimatized.

Moreover, at this stage, Europe was still in the dark medical stage, and treatment methods and drugs lagged far behind the East. Therefore, even among the captives, there were many patients who suffered from vomiting and diarrhea to the point of dehydration and collapse.
