The defenders in the city were just a group of mobs. The Huai army entered the town, and the defenders in the city could not resist it at all. They were either killed or surrendered. Before dawn, the Dongguan County Town was completely in the hands of the Huai army. Li Guodong took Dongguan Town and Qianhusou, which was a model of the white clothes crossing the river used by Lu Meng and Lu Xun to sneak attack Jingzhou, but this was an enhanced version of the white clothes crossing the river.

The so-called crossing the river in white clothes does not mean crossing the river in white clothes, but rather soldiers disguised as merchants. The so-called crossing the river in white clothes is Luo Guanzhong’s mistake. In the official history, white clothes refers to wearing civilian clothes. During the Han Dynasty, white clothes refer to clothes worn by white clothes, which is the clothing of ordinary people. Therefore, crossing the river in white clothes does not mean crossing in white clothes, but disguised as smuggling into people.

Li Guodong's white clothes crossed the river, and a beauty scheme was added in the middle, which made the defenders relax their vigilance, and eventually they successfully attacked the beacon tower.

After all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is just a novel. If you really want to read the official history, you should read "The Three Kingdoms" and you cannot regard novels as history.

Chen Yunying changed into a night outfit and changed into a military uniform. She wore a silver-white phoenix-winged helmet and silver-white fish scale armor. Her white porcelain-like face was inlaid with a pair of bright big eyes, and her eyebrows were a little thicker, but she matched with a high nose bridge and bright big eyes, which were very harmonious overall. On her face, which was as beautiful as a flower, there was no sensational smile, but was often covered with a layer of frost and snow in the severe winter.

Her armor could not cover her beautiful figure. Compared with women who were generally not tall in this era, Chen Yunying was taller. After all, she was a martial arts practitioner. Although she was not as exaggerated as 1.8 meters tall as Qin Liangyu, Chen Yunying's height of nearly 1.7 meters tall was very consistent with Li Guodong's aesthetic view. If she got it in later generations, she would be a car model figure.

Although Princess Kunxing is also very tall, she is too young and has not yet matured. In contrast, Chen Yunying, who is already twenty years old, has the best figure, with a concave and convex shape, which makes people feel itchy. Li Guodong swallowed his saliva.

In this era, the general aesthetic standard is petiteness and delicateness, and also tightening her breasts. For example, Li Xiangjun, the leader of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, is less than 1.5 meters tall, probably 1.46 meters tall, which is a little shorter than a famous internet celebrity in later generations. However, her short figure and a slightly fat round face look very cute. Liu Rushi is much better than the portraits seen on the Internet in later generations, but she is not too tall, which is about 1.6 meters tall.

The eight beauties in Qinhuai are generally not tall, with an average height of about 1.55 meters, and Koubaimen is relatively tall, close to 1.7 meters; Liu Rushi is 1.6 meters, and Chen Yuanyuan is also a normal height in Li Guodong's eyes, about 1.6 meters. However, Li Xiangjun, who is 1.46 meters, and the other ones about 1.5 meters lowered his average height.

Because Li Guodong was a person from later generations and was influenced by later aesthetic concepts, Li Xiangjun did not accept it, but gave it to an officer under his command. He had no idea about Kou Baimen for the time being. Ma Xianglan is no longer alive, and Chen Yuanyuan will be naturalized to Wu Sangui in the future. The others think it is too short, so it is enough to leave only one Liu Rushi.

Just as Li Guodong looked at Chen Yunying, Chen Yunying returned a grateful look to him. In her heart, this man did help him a lot. When the coffin of his father and husband was escorted back to Zhejiang, the Duke of Chu sent a boat to make her go home with a more convenient water route and sent someone to escort him. The three-year mourning period ended, and Chen Yunying was devoted to serving the country. Just when she had no way to serve the country, the Huai Army accepted her.

The next plan of the Huai Army was to attack Humen. At this time, the Huai Army on the North Road was led by Shi Lang and had already encountered the main force of the rebel Pearl River Navy at Dongjiangkou.

The sound of cannons rumbled on the river, and the navy from both sides exchanged fierce fire. Although the number of rebel naval troops had an absolute advantage, the position of the rebel naval troops was not good. They were in the open downstream, while the Huai Navy occupied a favorable position upstream, and there were ambushing shore artillery fire on the shore.

After Shi Lang arrived at Dongjiangkou, he ordered the Lu Division, who assisted the navy to fight, to move the red barbarian cannons from the transport ship, and to arrange simple forts in the woods on the shore to cooperate with the navy's battle.

The red cannons transported to Dongjiangkou by transport ships were all 24-pound naval guns. The firepower of this heavy cannon was far greater than the 12-pound naval guns of the largest caliber of the Guangdong Navy. Moreover, the only giant 64-pound cannon was also transported and arranged in a simple turret.

The simple turret was piled up with sandbags, with thirty twenty-four-pound red cannons and a sixty-four-pound giant cannon.

In front of the giant cannon, the gunners loaded the launching medicine and shells at the maximum range. The maximum effective range of this giant cannon can reach an astonishing seven miles! Because the inner wall is polished very smoothly and the weight of the shells is very heavy, the ballistics are relatively straight and the accuracy is far better than that of the twenty-four-pound cannon.

In the era of smoothbore guns, the heavier the heavier the heavier the accuracy. Because the heavy artillery requires a large amount of medicine, high initial speed, fast speed, and high projectile weight, it is relatively less affected by external factors such as wind, so the accuracy can be greatly improved. For example, this 64-pound super-heavy siege cannon can not only be used to bombard the city walls, but also the best weapon for shore-to-ship attacks.

The gunners stuffed three launching medicine bags into the barrel, pushed them to the bottom of the barrel, and then stuffed a giant projectile weighing 64 pounds into the barrel, pushing the bullet rod made of thick round wood to the bottom.

Fierce battles on the river are in progress, and both sides are firing artillery from afar, but for the naval guns of this era, the accuracy of the artillery bombardment is very poor. Both sides seem to be fighting very lively, but none of the shells fired hit the fire. The shells coming and going fell into the water, and the water columns soared into the sky were raised.

Although the rebel naval forces were strong, they were afraid of the artillery on the shore of the Huai Army and the mines that the Huai Army might release, so they did not dare to go deep into the Dongjiangkou to approach the Huai Army Navy. They just shot from afar and blocked the waterway of the Huai Army Navy into the Pearl River.

The giant cannon gunners who had been loaded were patiently waiting. At present, the enemy ships within the effective range were all small fish and shrimps, which were not worthy of the giant cannon's power, so Zhang Shiwen, who was in charge of commanding the giant cannon, never ordered the fire.

"Here you! Finally!" Zhang Shiwen suddenly discovered that a big lucky ship from the rebels was moving upstream and entered the river less than three miles away.

Although the maximum effective range of the giant cannon can reach seven miles, its hit rate is very low at such a long distance. Within three miles, Zhang Shiwen is sure to hit the target with one cannon.

"The target is here, prepare to open fire!" Zhang Shiwen ordered.

The gun mount of the giant cannon is installed on an iron disc. A ring-shaped rail is installed on the solid disc. The wheels of the giant cannon cannon stand in place. As long as the gunner pushes the gun mount with wheels, the muzzle can rotate in the direction. The gun mount is also equipped with a rocker handle and a mechanical lifting device to control the tilt angle of the muzzle.

According to Zhang Shiwen's order, the gunners turned the muzzle, adjusted the elevation angle, and aimed at the rebel Dafu ship that boldly broke in. After completing all this, the rebel Dafu ship with a 600-material Dafu ship was only a little more than two miles away from the giant cannon.

"Fire the cannon!" Zhang Shiwen roared.

A gunner lit the cannon, and only a shocking sound was heard. The cannon vibrated violently. A tongue of flames spewed out of the muzzle, and white smoke rose up. Heavy sixty-four-pound shells flew out of the muzzle and roared straight for the big lucky ship.

The initial speed of the heavy artillery is high, and the speed of the shells reaches the speed of sound. The shells flying at the speed of sound cut through the air and make a harsh scream when trying to break through the sound barrier.
