"Let our warships. Dock as far as possible. Then put down the soldiers who landed. Let them establish a defensive position on the beach. Then. Let's fire a few shots at those buildings on the shore. Just negotiate with them. We There is no need to go to war with them directly. As long as we achieve our goals." This time.Xiang Liang said.

"This. Is it okay to do this, General." The captain on the side asked suspiciously at this time.

"Okay. Should be okay. We don't have to beat 'em too hard. Beat 'em too hard. We'll get nothing. All we have to do now. Get what we want. We're here to tax Yes. It’s not that they have nothing. They have nothing. We come here. There will be no taxation.” Xiang Liang said clearly.

1377 Seizing the Beachhead

"Landing. Go ashore." A sailor conveyed Xiang Liang's order.

"Boom. Boom. Boom." The drum sound came again, this time it was a little softer, but it was also an order for the Chu army to gather.

The sailors on the shore hid in the fortifications.

"What's the situation?" At this time.The militiamen who came from the inland were local colonists and pioneers, all of them had weapons, and they heard the rumble of cannons.And the emergency signal came.

"I don't know. It seems to be a warship. The flag is the flag of the Chu army." An old sailor with a beard said, waving his arms.

"Ah." The old sailor was injured in one arm.When he swung his arm↓ he got the wound.

"Well. Cannon." This time.A leader who came said.Then, he picked up the binoculars to check the situation.

"It is indeed a warship of our Chu army. I really don't know why it is so sudden to fire at us." At this time.said the leader.

"En. Could it be that the nobles sent troops to us?" A young man said nervously.

"En. This possibility cannot be ruled out," said the leader.

"Let me see." The leader stood up and said with a telescope looking at the situation in the distance.

"They have cannons. But." At this time, the leader put down his binoculars to check the situation with the naked eye. He squeezed Zhao Ji's eyes, rubbed his own eyes with his hands, and then.Immediately check the situation with binoculars.

"Damn it. They are coming towards us. Many small boats are carrying soldiers from the Chu army, ready for battle." The leader shouted loudly at this time.

"Everyone, enter the fighting state. Hurry up." The leader shouted loudly at this time, and at this time, the others all took their weapons and entered the fighting state.

And at sea.A boat full of Chu's navy is slowly approaching the coast.

"Captain, do we need to provide some support? We have only carried out two rounds of bombardment. Those Chu people in the colony did not suffer much loss at all." A gunner hurried up and asked the captain.

"Yes. You are quite right." The captain nodded.

"I'll ask the general." At this moment, the captain left immediately.But just took two steps.He turned around and asked.

"Can our shells be accurate at that distance?" the captain asked at this time.

"Well, for a distance, as long as we use solid shells, I think we should be able to." The gunner nodded at this time.

"Prepare solid shells." After the captain heard such a reply.Say so immediately.

"Yes. Captain." The gunner received the order.Immediately nodded in agreement.Immediately, he asked the drummer to convey the captain's order to other ships, and then he went down to the gun bay to let his men load solid shells.

"General, the last general believes that at present, solid shells should be used to provide some fire support to our soldiers who are about to land. After all, those people on the shore suffered from two rounds of shelling. The loss is not very large, and the current distance allows us to We're safe enough to shoot," said the captain, clasping his hands.

"En." Xiang Liang nodded after hearing such a suggestion at this time.Immediately picked up the binoculars to check the situation on the shore.Judging from the situation on the shore, it really didn't look like he had suffered a lot of losses☆Liang only saw a few corpses.And burning cars, merchant ships.

"Fire, fire where you think there are people. Remember, don't hurt our people." At this moment, Liang looked at the captain and said.

"Understood. General." The captain received the order.Immediately convey the order.

Chu people on the shore.

"Here they come. I can see them. Those bloody noble dogs," said a merchant, brandishing a bayonet.His merchant ship was unloading goods at the dock, but was hit by the artillery of the Chu army.Up to now, his merchant ship is still on fire, and his merchant ship is filled with Qin Guojiu.The fruit wine of Chu State.Chu's fruit wine has a low alcohol content and barely burns, but it is also possible.However, the alcohol content of Qin Guojiu is very high ♀ Qin Guojiu has been loved by many fighting indigenous tribes, especially those mountain people, because they live in the mountains, and the bitter cold of the mountains has formed a fascination for alcohol, because Alcohol can drive away the cold in the mountains.Therefore, this kind of wine from the state of Qin is very popular among the people in the mountains, while the fruit wine from the state of Chu is liked by those who have been taught a lesson.after drinking.For a long time, I especially like the feeling of being weak, so this kind of Chu fruit wine is the favorite of the local domesticated Yue people.The Chu people themselves like to drink some excitement. They like to mix two kinds of wine together. The same wine makes them feel that the benefits of the two kinds of wine can be brought together. It has reached unprecedented stimulation, and the stimulation of Qin Guojiu can greatly stimulate their excitement ♀ is a new drinking method in the colonies ♀ This drinking method is very popular among sailors.

"Boom." Just as the businessman swung his bayonet.His merchant ship, sent out a huge explosion.

"Soldiers of Heavenly Fiend." The businessman cursed loudly.His merchant ship was blown to pieces in one fell swoop.A huge fireball rose into the sky, followed by a raging fire, which detonated his merchant ship.

"My God. They have cannons." The soldiers of the Chu army on the small boat all got down nervously. Although they were still a long way from the merchant ship, such a huge explosion still made them get down subconsciously. Body.

"Row, row quickly." A veteran of the Chu army with his sleeves rolled up shouted loudly, waving his arms.At this time, the soldiers picked up the oars again and rowed.

"Slow down, don't get the gunpowder wet." The old soldier shouted loudly to a young soldier.

The boat full of ships is slowly approaching the coast at this time.In the fortifications of the colony, there was nothing to do about it.

"If we have cannons, we can fight back. Those Chu soldiers will definitely not be able to reach the coast." A Chu sailor looked at the slowly approaching boat, and the inner torment made him very nervous, so nervous that he couldn't believe that he would do this Ask such a question／If there are cannons, then they don't have to wait like this☆At least they can see that the cannonballs can destroy all the small boats of the Chu army.

The colony has only one loose government structure.And this institution.To some extent, it cannot be called the government completely, because they still lack some functions of the government.For example, tax collection, this loose government agency has no right to collect taxes at all. Without this foundation, it would be impossible to establish violent institutions, and it would lose its coerciveness.

Colonial governing bodies with hardly any source simply did not have the money to buy artillery to improve the defense of their colonies.Not only that, those merchants are very selfish, they equipped their merchant ships with artillery.The quantity is also very small.The caliber is far less powerful than the caliber of a warship, and it is not as powerful as the artillery on a large warship.The colonies had lots of guns, but few artillery pieces.The lack of artillery made the colony's defense a flawed piece, and the price was too great.

"Let it go." The gunner roared loudly at this time.

"Boom. Boom. Boom." The black muzzle roared again.

"Whoosh. Whoosh." The shells whizzed out, heading straight for the coast.

"Huh la la la." A shell flew directly over, and the sailors and militiamen in the colonies on the coast could see the shell fly directly over.The shells hit the bushes directly.The shells directly hit the branches in the bushes everywhere.

"Pfft." A militiaman saw the powerful artillery and wanted to see what happened, so he poked his head out. Just as he poked his head out, his head was knocked off by a flying shell. The soldier's head went straight Was smashed to pieces.

"Boom." The shells roared continuously, then hit the ground, and then bounced quickly.Some militiamen who were frightened by the huge lethality of the shells jumped out of their fortifications and left here, but soon, he tasted what it was like to be hit.A shell hit several militiamen, several were killed instantly and one was hit in the arm.He fell to the ground and yelled loudly.

"Boom." The shells continued to roar.Fortifications are being attacked like never before.

"Lie on the ground, don't move. Don't move." A militiaman shouted loudly⊥The violent shelling put the psychological defense of these soldiers on the verge of collapse in an instant♀ Such violent shelling made the militiamen in the colony unable to hold their heads up .

"Everyone is ready." A veteran of the Chu State Navy shouted loudly.He raised his flintlock.

"Hurry up. Enter combat readiness. Go." The veteran yelled continuously, and immediately jumped off his boat. He was the first to enter the knee-deep water, and then quickly boarded the shore with his rifle raised.

"Up. Up. Up." The soldiers of the Chu Army behind shouted loudly, and they quickly jumped into the water.

More and more soldiers of the Chu army rushed forward with guns in hand.

"Come on." The soldiers of the Chu army quickly occupied a beach, and then they consolidated their positions.After all, their first wave was very small.Only the second wave followed.In order to quickly launch an attack.

"Defend the position, don't attack easily." A Chu army officer shouted loudly.The soldiers of the Chu army lay on the ground and looked at the fortifications ahead. As long as they wanted to, they could rush up quickly at this time, but they couldn't because of this time.The shelling continued.The soldiers of the Chu army lowered their bodies on the beach as much as possible. Even so, they could still feel the shells whizzing past their heads.
