Volume VIII 1240 Strange Ambushes

Next chapter

Due to the arrogant Russian army's ostentatious mentality, the route of this fleet is very close to the coastline of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the fleet is only more than 1,000 meters away from the coast at the nearest time, which is actually considered a dangerous drive.

It is precisely because the Russian army wants to show its strong combat power that they want to let the Chinese officers and soldiers see their voices and shadows as much as possible, but they are negligent, because they are too close to the coastline, they are also close to danger.

The location of the naval battle at the mouth of the Minjiang River, east of Changle County, on the sea overlooking Yanshan and Gujiao Mountain, where there are many deep and undercurrents, and there are many reefs and dangerous shoals, in fact, it is not a suitable location for naval battles.

Now the Russian fleet is actually surrounded by large and small islands, the west of the fleet is the mainland is Yanshan and Gujiao Mountain, and the east of the fleet is Dongsha Island, North Dog Island, and South Dog Island. Behind the fleet is a large scattered island that extends north from Pingtan Island.

The east, west and south directions are not suitable for the fleet's rapid assault, and due north is the Minjiang River estuary, and a little north of the sea outlet is a messy island, so the only exit from the battlefield is in the northeast direction, but the northeast direction has become a place for the Zhiyuan and Diamond detachments to entangle and fight, which makes it difficult for the main fleet led by Stefansky to break through.

Under the command of the commander-in-chief, the flagship St. Peter began to fully rudder to the right, and they wanted to make the fleet first deviate a little to the west, then draw a large circle clockwise along the edge of the war, and finally, under the protection of the Diamond, break out of the encirclement from the northeast corner.

This arc is drawn very large, it may be that the pressure on the Russian Navy caused by the Zhiyuan just broke through the formation is too great, and when going around this circle, the helmsman involuntarily let the warship lean to the west as much as possible, and try to avoid the Zhiyuan as far away as possible.

The main fleet was getting closer and closer to the coastline, until finally the flanks of the fleet were less than 1,500 meters away from the coastline.

At this moment, three cannons suddenly rang out on the western continent, followed by the dense forests of Yanshan, Gujiao Mountain, and the hills behind the Black Horn Beach on the mainland, and countless flags were suddenly raised, and the figures in the trees shook, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

"Raise the dragon flag, it's up to us now! The new army of the Royal Forest is ready to fight...... Exit the artillery!1st Battalion enters the position......"

"The second battalion began to reload ammunition, aiming ...... Fire!"

"The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Royal Forest New Army reload ammunition...... Aim at enemy ships...... Shoot these sons of bitches for your majesty!"

Boom Boom Boom ...... Dozens of light clusters suddenly lit up in the deep mountains and old forests, and the swishing shells in the black smoke blew up at the Russian warships on the sea, and Stefansky was dizzy after this round of shelling.

"How is that possible? Qing Guo is at war with us? Damn, Molière, what about your information? Why is it not shown at all?" the commander scolded loudly, and Molière was dumbfounded, he didn't know what was going on.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible, this is the territory of Zuo Zongtang of the Hunan army, and Zuo Zongtang is in the northwest, it is impossible for him to come back to command the battle! How dare the remaining troops open fire on us?"

"Damn, how dare the local defenders fire at us without an order from the Qing Army? Besides, I've never heard of a fort in this area......"

Boom Boom Boom ...... High-explosive shells exploded a column of water on the side of the St. Peter's ship, and a shot was fired on the deck, and two Russian soldiers were blown into the water in the fire.

The veteran at the bow of the ship shouted, "It's not a shore defense gun! It's not that powerful, it should be a field rifled gun for the army! Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a rapid firing density...... Damn it again, lie down!"

The incredible ambushes, the use of field guns as shore defense guns, and the unidentified yellow pennant all gave this sudden attack an eerie atmosphere.

It turns out that the Anglo-French spy network that Molière relied on was not as powerful as he imagined, so perfect. They didn't know that in Fujian Province there was such a strange army that no one in the Qing Dynasty could control and dared not manage.

They claim to be the new army of the Imperial Forest, and there are only four battalion leaders and more than 2,000 people at the moment, but this army does not have a trace of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and the Green Battalion at all, if these soldiers don't look at the clothes, you will even think that they are all ambushes arranged by Xiao Letian.

However, these people don't listen to Xiao Letian's command, and there is only one of their direct commanders, that is, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, His Majesty, Aixinjue Luo Zaichun.

"Then the three treasures, you hurry up...... As far as you are even the most ink, no one is allowed to eat dinner when you go back this time, and the amount of training in the field will be tripled......"

"Hurry up, brothers, hurry up...... We are the Son of Heaven's own army, we are the warriors of the Royal Forest, and Your Majesty is fighting the enemy on the sea, and we are responding to the emperor!

Guard Ma Ming stood on a huge rock and gave orders to the soldiers of the first battalion, and in front of him more than 500 soldiers were quickly interspersed, shoulder-carrying and carrying light field guns to the predetermined firing position.

At that time, he pinched two walnuts all day long, followed by an old yellow dog behind his buttocks, and wandered around the city in three steps, except for eating, drinking and having fun.

But today, the eight banners nobles with black hands carried cannonball boxes, walked through the mountains and mountains, and the honest soldiers behind him trotted all the way with him.

"Brothers...... Follow me! The emperor is on the sea, we are a great merit to the heavens, save the emperor......!

It is already a miracle to make the Eight Banners shout out to follow me, instead of giving it to me, Xiao Letian's new army training camp has such magic, turning stones into gold and turning decay into magic.

Ma Ming, Dun Cheng, Bai Min, Guan Lu...... This is the four guards sent to the little emperor by the Forbidden City at the beginning, and they learned kung fu from their ancestors, and they are full of serious blood, and their loyalty to the emperor is undoubted.

When they first arrived in Ryukyu, the four of them trained with Jae-chun, and the rookie camp made them transform, and at this moment they no longer have the arrogance and idiocy of the 49 Castle time.

With the four guards as the core, Zaichun dug out three hundred and eight unambitious youths from the Sijiu City, such as the Three Treasures, Doro, Ma Qun, and so on......

Three hundred and eight banner concubines, three hundred destined to be mixed all their lives, were tempered in the furnace of Ryukyu, and finally became excellent company commanders, platoon commanders and squad leaders.

In the end, the more than 300 years of Chun's lineage were quietly sent to Fujian, where they prepared to form an army belonging to Emperor Tongzhi.

Xiao Zaichun has already made Xiao Letian a black-bellied little emperor, he has understood the true meaning of politics at this moment, and he knows very well that if the power is not formed by himself, it will never be his own.

Even if it is a force inherited from his own father, it is not as good as the one he built!
