"Ahead is Dagukou!" The observer who was looking up on the mast reported loudly, and the commanders of the detachments were now waiting on the flagship for the last military meeting before the landing, and when they heard the words of the observer, they immediately became excited.

"Report distance, estimated time of arrival!" , Su Changquan issued an order loudly, and the accompanying staff officers immediately did a good job of calculating and reporting the results according to the data reported by the observer, "It is expected that in an hour, the front team of our army will have an artillery battle with the port battery!" The number and position of the artillery of the fort are under the control of our army, and our army has already obtained information on the hydrological situation near Dagukou, and according to the staff's calculation of the strength of both the enemy and us, it is expected that Dagukou can be taken within two hours after the artillery battle begins! ”

"Well, well done!" , Su Changquan sincerely appreciated the work of the General Staff, which was much more powerful than the master when he was in the pirate fleet, and the situations that might be encountered in every war were clearly calculated by them, unlike the master who would only say some misty words before the war, and after the war, he pieced together these words and the results of the battle to ask for credit.

"All departments are back to their ships and carry out the plan according to Plan 2!" , Su Changquan issued an order, and the heads of the fleets participating in the military conference got on small boats and sailed back to their ships, began to check the artillery, motivate the soldiers, and make the final preparations before the war. What a credit it would have been if we had been the first to storm the city! As soon as he thought of this, every officer and soldier became enthusiastic.

"My lord! A large fleet of ships is coming over at sea! The lookout of the Dagukou Fort also saw the Chinese fleet, and the dense ships that covered the sky and the sun made him frightened, and when he woke up a little, he immediately crawled to the barracks to report to the commander.

"Oh? How many ships are there? What flag? ", the chief asked drunkenly, looking like he hadn't woken up from his hangover yet. I don't know whose banquet I went to yesterday.

"There are countless ships and ships! At first glance, there are hundreds of large ships! The lookout stammered and replied, "It's the banner of the safflower thief!" ”

"What!" As soon as he heard the words of the safflower thief and hundreds of ships, the wine in the chief's stomach suddenly turned into a cold sweat and came out of his head, and most of the people were sober. Hurriedly got up, "Take me to see it!" ”

When the supreme military commander of the Dagukou Fort followed the lookout to the high place, and when he picked up the clairvoyant mirror to look over, the countless sails caught his eye at first glance, and he was so frightened that he almost threw away the claircopy in his hand, "Is this safflower thief really going to attack on a big scale?" Hurry up and ask for reinforcements! In terms of numbers, he also knows that his little man is not an opponent at all.

"Wake everyone up, come to the battery at once, and bring up all the gunpowder shells. Get ready to fire! After arranging the people who asked for help, he hurriedly began to organize the defense.

When the heralds were ordered to leave, he saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly whispered to the last cronies, "Go back to the city quickly, let the lady pack up the gold and silver, hire a carriage and run to the capital immediately!" Remember, don't let anyone else know! Also, after you have done all this, you will bring a few good horses and wait for me somewhere! I don't think this fort can be held today. Wait for my lord, I can't escape without your benefits! ”

"Yes, the minion commands!". Hearing that he didn't have to fight with the enemy here, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly agreed, and rushed to the city with a smoke!

"Prepare to fire!" , the back road is arranged, and the chief has no scruples in his heart. Seeing that the first batch of gunpowder and shells had arrived, he hurriedly ordered.

"My lord, the enemy ship is still far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to hit it now!" , an old soldier persuaded.

"If you let the cannon open, you will open the cannon. Watch out for your dog's life in Rory! Commander Dunsi whipped it up, and thought to himself that it would be best if he could scare the enemy away.

Obviously, the Chinese navy will not let him get his wish, the guns in Dagukou are old, but both the range of the guns and the professional level of the gunners are much worse than those of the Spaniards.

On the one hand, the wind and waves at sea and the bumps and ups and downs of the ships are not conducive to aiming, so it is not as safe as the cannons on the fixed batteries; On the other hand, the tonnage of guns that can be loaded on a ship is limited after all, while the fixed battery has no such limitation, and the protection ability of the ship is much worse than that of the battery.

But today the situation has been reversed, with the Chinese Navy's artillery firing in unison, the artillery of the Dagukou Fort was slowly suppressed, to sum up the reason, the main reason is that the quality of the Chinese Navy's artillery far exceeds the red-coated cannons in disrepair on the battery, and the gunner level of both sides is not a grade, and the gun position of the Dagukou Fort has long been inquired about by the intelligence department.

"You should fight to the death, and after the war, the official will not hesitate to reward!" , After the chief issued the last order, he immediately changed into the clothes of the pawn and sneaked off the fort and ran to the place where he had made an appointment with his cronies.

This scene was clearly seen by the nails buried in the fort by the intelligence department, and when he was far away, he immediately shouted, "Brothers, it's not good, the commander has escaped from the battle, let's run for our lives!" ”

As soon as it was spread to ten or hundred, the news that the commander had escaped quickly spread throughout the fort under the deliberate guidance of someone with a heart, "Holy shit, none of these officials are good!" They're all gone, why are we still here? Brothers, let's run too! ”

In a short time, most of the soldiers on the battery had run away, and the sound of the cannon became sparse. Su Changquan saw the fighter plane and immediately ordered the landing ship to move quickly, and the battleship was responsible for suppressing the remaining artillery.

It wasn't long before the few guns on the battery that still roared were knocked out, and the landing ships approached the beach, and the marines, led by a few old pirates, went ashore to kill them.

When they reached the fort, they found that the Qing army had already run away, and after checking and occupying a few tactical points, the leading officer immediately fired the signal that the fort had been successfully occupied, and the landing battle was won so easily.

"This cannon is not bad, but the people who use it are wasted!" , Su Changquan stroked the cannon on the fort and sighed, then looked at Geng Chen beside him, "My task is complete, it's up to you next!" (To be continued......)
