my wonderful zoo

Chapter 104 Guangzhou
Seeing that Lu Hui wanted to ask more questions, Chen Xun knew that he was almost wiped out, so he quickly stopped: "When implementing these in the future, you can add them as you go. As long as you want to do this well, there are always more solutions than problems. .”

"Lang Jun is right." Lu Hui nodded.

"Are you interested in this bank? How about you take charge after Guangzhou is conquered?" Chen Xun suggested.

"No, no, no!" Lu Hui waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do this. When I think about doing this, I may have to face a lot of endless numbers, which makes me dizzy. I'd better leave it to others. I'm very worried. I like my current position.”

"Ok."

……

Chen Xun did not stay in Dongguan for long.

After waiting for the stewards and students who came to support from Chenjiazhuang, Chen Xun quickly appointed all these stewards and students to various posts in Dongguan County. After letting some surrendered officials serve as assistants, he led the army to board the ship again and headed towards Guangzhou. And go.

Guangzhou is no different from Dongguan. There is a lot of land around the city. In addition to the south and west sides surrounded by rivers, the north and east sides are land. Even if there are rivers, they are small rivers with bridges on them.

There is Baiyun Mountain to the northwest and Huolu Mountain to the north.

This gives the cavalry a place to display their skills.

Therefore, Chen Xun temporarily transferred 200 horse troops from Chenjiazhuang. While controlling the situation in Dongguan, Chen Xun also took the time to go back and load more than [-] horses into the zoo, which greatly reduced the difficulty of transporting the horse troops.

When the fleet arrived outside the port in the south of Guangzhou, it was already noon on May [-]th.

This time we could not easily reach the shore.

The Guangzhou Navy, which had escaped from the previous defeat, stood in the front, as well as some improvised armed merchant ships.

Chen Xun speculated that these merchant ships may have been donated by the wealthy gentry and merchants in Guangzhou City, and it was probably the aftermath of his execution of Liu Fu in Dongguan.

When a rabbit dies and a fox grieves, the power class in Guangzhou plans to work together to block themselves out of Guangzhou.

According to this situation, the servants of the gentry and wealthy merchants in the city will definitely participate in the battle to defend the city.

Sure enough, Pei Ren, who had sneaked into Guangzhou early, soon received the news.

The total number of miscellaneous defenders in the city has exceeded 3000.

"They are all just chickens and dogs. No matter how many people there are, it will not help." Lu Hui is very confident in land warfare.

"Just have confidence. Guangzhou is a big city. You must control the casualties of your guards when the time comes." Chen Xun reminded.

"it is good."

This time, the top naval officer who cooperated with Chen Xun was still Wang Yuan, and Ke Lei supervised the prisoners' construction of salt fields on Lantau Island.

"I'll leave it to you next."

Leave professional matters to professionals. Chen Xun has always been very self-aware.

Being able to employ people is much better than doing everything yourself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the Guangzhou Navy is just a defeated general." Although Wang Yuan's tone was calm, the confidence he revealed was far stronger than Lu Hui's statement just now.

The troop transports and transport ships carrying supplies and siege equipment remained in place.

Wang Yuan led fifteen warships and rushed towards more than 100 ships of the Guangzhou Navy.

He looks like a warrior who is going to die heroically.

"This old boy is crazier than me."

"He has crazy capital. Currently, except for Ke Lei, there is no one with more ability than him in Haiwei." Chen Xun sighed.

The drive for revenge is endless.

Chen Xun could only hope that Wang Yuan would be more open-minded. Revenge is revenge, and life must be lived.

Revenge is not everything in life.

Continuing to watch the naval battle ahead, Chenjiazhuang's navy warships formed the Yanxiang Formation on the wide river surface. Using Wang Yuan's flagship as an arrow, they rammed straight into the middle of the Guangzhou Navy's ship formation.boom!boom!boom!
The roar of artillery can be heard in the distance.

The ten bronze cannons used to attack the city were used by Wang Yuan in naval battles.

The solid shells fired directly from the artillery were simply unable to be resisted by wooden warships.

The new weapons turned the sand and soil prepared by the Guangzhou Navy to extinguish incendiary bombs into decorations.

The water level of the naval warship loaded with a lot of sand and soil was very deep. After the cannonball opened a hole in the hull, the river water poured in crazily and could not be blocked at all.

There were originally watertight compartments on the bottom of the warship, but after the cannonball hit, several compartment walls were destroyed at once. Some shells even entered from one side and flew out from the other side, piercing the warship at once.

The watertight compartment was directly destroyed.

These artillery pieces are not only powerful, but also have very good sound and light effects.

The deafening roar frightened the improvised armed merchant ship to pieces. The sailors who had never seen the world thought it was thunder from the sky coming down to earth to help in the battle, and they only thought about how to escape.

They were all sailors who were gentry, wealthy merchants, and sailors. During the most dangerous times, when they faced water pirates and pirates, the number of enemy ships was three or two. Five ships were already rare.

Now hundreds of warships gathered together to fight, and the enemy's dozen or so ships defeated our own side without the ability to fight back. There were still dozens of warships parked on the river in the distance.

How is this played?
If the battle is won, I don’t know what reward the master will give, maybe none.

But if the master's merchant ship is trapped here, it will definitely not be able to eat and carry around after returning.

Invariably.

While Wang Yuan was bombarding the naval warships, the armed merchant ships behind the ship formation had already begun to turn around and start running away.

On the battlefield, any action affects the whole body. As long as a ship starts to escape, other ships will follow suit.

Due to the herd mentality, most of these armed merchant ships without the will to fight quickly ran away.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yuan decisively ordered his men to start using shotgun shells, with the main target of elimination being the personnel on the ship. For a time, the casualties of the Guangzhou Navy increased sharply.

For some ships fighting together, one shot from the cannon on the navy guard ship could clear half of the enemy ship's deck.

"Artillery is really the king of war. If a battleship with hundreds of cannons is built like what you said in the future, who else will be the opponent on the water of the Song Dynasty?" Lu Hui looked ahead. He couldn't help but sigh at the one-sided battle situation.

"Not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in this world, who can be called an opponent?" Chen Xun also felt very comfortable.

It feels great when one's own weapons create a generational difference against the enemy.

The beautiful country of later generations has been able to show off its power in the Middle East for decades, not because of its advantage in weapons and equipment.

Otherwise, it is really unknown whether the young soldiers of the beautiful country, with the same abilities and weapons and equipment, can defeat those troops with faith.

The battle on the water was over quickly.

Later, after switching to shotgun shells, Wang Yuan finally captured 29 enemy ships, including [-] warships and [-] armed merchant ships.

Chen Xun ordered the transport ships to come forward to help clean the battlefield, salvage the fallen officers and soldiers, and mobilized his own sailors to drive the captured ships.
