On one of the large ships on the sea, a ship commander held a monocular and looked at the coast of Dagukou, saying: "I never thought that after so many years, I would still be able to come back one day."
The speaker was Duan Ping, who was the first to join the Tiger Banner. He was once a member of the Ming Navy in Dagukou.
"It's nothing to come back. If you are willing, I can tell my lord that I will let you stay in Dagukou from now on." Chen Xunping on the side joked.
Duan Ping, who heard this, smiled and said: "When our own navy is established here in Dagukou in the future, I will definitely come to Dagukou to serve. It can be regarded as a return home."
"I don't know whether the Lord's guild will set up a navy here in Dagukou, but if you are willing, you can come ashore with me and take you to see your hometown." Chen Xunping said with a smile.
After hearing this, Duan Ping hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "My mission is to escort you, Marshal Chen, to land. If I land with the army, will I miss your affairs?"
"You can follow us ashore, and your navy can also bring some food back to the shore." Chen Xunping suggested.
Duan Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later. We'd better protect the army's landing first."
Chen Xunping patted his shoulder, turned and left.
The landing operation was about to begin, and he wanted to choose an open place to see the navy's attack on the shore.
The sudden appearance of the Tiger Flag Navy caused panic on the shore.
Many coolies who relied on the water for a living did not dare to stay on the shore and fled back home to hide.
There are also some timid people who, as soon as they return home, they and their family members take what they can at home and go out to avoid the war.
Groups of Ming troops began to appear on the coastline.
Although the number is not large, there are still several hundred soldiers.
Facing the large ships at sea, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the shore had no way to do anything. The distance was too far and no attack method could threaten the ships at sea.
However, these Ming troops were not stationed on the coast to attack ships at sea, but to prevent ships at sea from landing.
"Is this still a fucking ship? I believe it if you say it's a moving city." A soldier on the coast looked at the big ship on the sea and swallowed his saliva.
Living in Dagukou, he usually saw too many sea-going ships, but this was the first time he saw such a big sea-going ship.
Another soldier on the side said: "I heard from Mr. Qianhu above that these big ships on the sea are rebels from the northwest."
"Why the hell did the barbarians from the northwest come to our Dagokou!" The soldier from before stared wide-eyed, a little confused.
Even if they are all people who have never been out of the courtyard, they still know that there is a capital city between Northwest and Tianjin Wei.
Tianjin Wei is so close to the capital, and they have never heard of anything happening in the capital.
"Who knows!" The soldier on the side shrank back.
While the two soldiers were talking, the large ship on the sea suddenly raised its hull, causing the entire port to be blocked by large ships.
boom! boom! boom!
The sound of cannons was heard from the sea, and soon some cannonballs fell on the coast, and many other cannonballs fell into the sea water, causing huge splashes.
Some Ming soldiers near the shore were hit by cannons, and seven or eight Ming soldiers were killed or injured on the spot.
The sound of cannons at sea continued, and more and more cannons fell from the sky to the shore.
Although many cannons were hit empty, there were too many of them, and many of them were hit by the Ming army guarding the coast.
The casualties of the Ming army suddenly increased.
The Ming soldiers on the coast were not elite at all. They usually did hard work like carrying goods or farming. Fighting was not their specialty.
Faced with casualties, a group of Ming soldiers who had never been on the battlefield were not much stronger than ordinary people, and they quickly dispersed and fled for their lives.
Even the leader of the team, Qianhu, was dragged away for his life.
Duan Ping watched the Ming army escaping on the coast through the monocular in his hand, but he did not give an order to stop the bombardment. Instead, he let the ship's guns bombard the coast for a while, and then put down the small boats and some shallow-draft ships. Transport soldiers ashore.
"I really envy you. You just need to fire a few cannons on the shore to solve everything. There is no need to go ashore to fight." Chen Xunping said with an envious look.
Duan Ping, who heard this, rolled his eyes and said: "What good thing are you thinking about? Our navy is going to fight the enemy at sea. We have no way to go or stay at sea. Failure means death, and we don't even have a chance to escape." many."
"Stop talking, I'm going ashore." Chen Xunping left Duan Ping and left quickly without waiting for Duan Ping to finish complaining.
A ship rows from the sea to the coast.
At this time, there was no one alive on the coast, let alone anyone blocking ships from landing at sea.
More and more ships docked, and the soldiers on board boarded the shore.
In addition, cannons were also sent ashore through the pier.
After landing, Chen Xunping ordered the war barracks that landed first to go to the nearest Qianhu Station.
This Qianhu Station is not far from where the Tiger Character Banner army landed.
Soon, a military camp from the Tiger Character Banner arrived outside Qianhusuo.
The person hiding in Qianhu's house at this time was the Qianhu who had escaped from the coast before.
"Fire!"
The leader of the team, Tiger Flag Yingzheng, directly ordered the artillery team to fire.
After the dilapidated Qianhu House in front of me took a few hits, several earthen walls were blown down, and many people ran out from inside.
"Surrender, surrender, we surrender!"
A thin guard soldier walked out from behind a mud wall holding a dirty white cloth in his hand.
"Tell them that if they want to surrender, they should put down their weapons and line up one by one. They are not allowed to wear armor." The battalion of the Tiger Character Banner told his men.
Soon, a soldier held up a large tin trumpet and began to shout into the Qianhu Station.
It didn't take long before figures walked out of Qianhusuo one by one.
The people on the Tiger Flag side were looking at these people coming out of Qianhu, and they didn't feel any joy in their hearts for this kind of victory.
The Qianhusuo in front of us is called Qianhusuo, which is far inferior to the Qianhusuo in the northwest.
It may also be that it has been many years since the peace, and the Qianhu Station in front of you has long been dilapidated, and the soldiers in Qianhu Station don't even have weapons. Not to mention their clothes are in tatters, and they are barefoot. Most of them don't even have a decent piece of armor. Can't find any.
The last person who walked out of Qianhusuo was a chubby middle-aged man.
"Bring that person here." Ying Zheng of the Tiger Flag pointed at the middle-aged man who finally appeared.
A soldier walked over and brought the middle-aged man over from the crowd.
