Chapter 291: Surprise Attack on Plum Blossom Hall
"This safflower thief's strong ship cannon is really powerful!" This time, he looted nearly two hundred warships of all sizes to attack Funing Mansion, who knew that he was defeated by dozens of ships of the Red Flower Society, especially the three giant ships, which had been cruising outside the range of their own fleet, and the artillery fire was dense and accurate, and almost every salvo could destroy their own ships. Hit it, the range can't keep up; Chase, the other party runs faster than them; Let's go, the other side will reflexively catch up; Xiang set up an ambush by retreating, but the Red Flower Society was not fooled. Waiting until dark, Huang Shijian, who had no way to speak, had no choice but to withdraw the fleet to the Plum Blossom Hall, and after coming back, he checked the results of the battle, and lost more than 20 large and small ships in just one day.
"Master, how should I write this recital?" In the temporary signing room, Huang Shijian looked at his staff blankly.
"For today's plan, it still depends on the outcome of the land route, if the sailor of the Red Flower Society will definitely retreat to another place, let's immediately take the tail and regain the lost ground, this please sin may as well slow down, and wait for the victory to send together, the saint will kill the enemy bravely after seeing our small setback, not only will he not reprimand, maybe there will be a reward." , a master shook a folding fan and said.
"What if Fu Dashuai is defeated?" , another master who didn't deal with him asked rhetorically.
"If there is a big defeat, the imperial court will still point to us to protect the sea frontier, and it will definitely not be reprimanded in a short time; I'm afraid that Fu Dashuai will win a small victory, and we will lose a small defeat, and I am afraid that the adults will suffer some hanging! After speaking, he turned his head to look at Huang Shijian.
Huang Shijian was silent with a dark face, thinking that his ancestors started from Huang Wu, the Duke of Haicheng, and started from a small errand officer, first killing Zhixian County and joining Zheng Chenggong, and then betraying Zheng Chenggong to dedicate Haicheng to the Qing army and enter the platform five strategies. Step by step to the crown prince and the hereditary first-class public position, since then the Huang family has unlimited scenery in Fujian, is it not this time to defeat the century-old foundation to the end? An ominous omen welled up in Huang Shijian's heart.
"Your Excellency. Fu Dashuai is here! Just as he was thinking about it, a pro-soldier hurriedly opened the curtain and came in to report.
"What!". Everyone was suddenly shocked, didn't Fukangan lead the troops to fight with the Red Flower Society? How could you come to the Plum Blossom Hall! Could it be that the situation of the war has changed drastically? Huang Shijian immediately got up, "How many people did Fu Dashuai bring?" ”
"There are a total of two or three hundred people around, all of whom seem to have rushed over quickly!" , Qing Bing reported while leading Huang Shijian out to greet Fukangan.
During the war, the leading commander was a hundred miles away, what a big deal this is! The cold sweat on Huang Shijian's forehead suddenly broke out, and he hurriedly walked outside. I saw Fukangan pacing around anxiously. Hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed, "Huang Shijian, the commander of the Fuzhou Navy, pays a visit to Master Fu!" ”
"Hurry up! Huang Shijian, let me ask you, how many capable men and horses do you have in your camp now? Fukangan asked urgently as soon as he saw him come out.
"There are more than 30,000 Fujian sailors, except for those who can't move, almost all of them have been brought to the Plum Blossom Institute by the general, and there are still more than 18,000 sailors and gunners in the camp!" , Huang Shijian immediately replied, and the ominous premonition in his heart became heavier and heavier.
"Good!". Fu Kangan's eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of Fuzhou, "The thieves of the Red Flower Society assassinated Admiral Ma Zhishu before the war, and the thieves of the Red Flower Society lurking in the green camp took the opportunity to incite chaos. The 30,000 Green Battalion collapsed without a fight. The safflower thieves took advantage of the situation to march and have surrounded Fuzhou! At present, Fuzhou is in danger, only Admiral Huang still has troops nearby, and the safety of Fuzhou is now all pinned on you Admiral Huang! After speaking, Fukangan stared at Huang Shijian with cold eyes, and the guards behind him also quietly moved their steps, and put their hands on the hilt of the knife.
Seeing Fukangan's eyes, Huang Shijian's hairs stood up, and the scene of Fukangan's killing of the officers of the Fujian Green Battalion in order to establish his authority a few days ago is still vivid. If you hesitate a little, I'm afraid you'll end up like those people! Thinking of this, Huang Shijian felt sad for a while, thinking that he had been working for the Manchurians since his ancestors. Until now, he still has the title of duke, but in the hearts of a full-fledged nobleman like Fukangan. Isn't he or a dog much different? If you say kill, you will kill.
"Huh? Does Admiral Huang have any objections? Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Fukangan snorted coldly again.
"The last general doesn't dare, the last general will go and gather people!" After speaking, Huang Shijian immediately got up and summoned his own soldiers to beat the drum to gather the soldiers, and in the process, Fukangan's personal soldiers followed him closely, staring at his every move inch by inch.
"Great Marshal, there are a total of 18,000 people in the camp at the moment, and the last general has left 3,000 people to defend the camp, and the other 15,000 people are ready to set off at any time!" , Huang Shijian replied breathlessly.
"Admiral Huang really managed the army well, and gathered the soldiers in such a short time, which shows that the usual drills have not been pulled down!" , Fukangan's face was a little dark, "But isn't it too much to keep three thousand people?" There are full cities in Fuzhou! If the city is broken, the consequences may be unimaginable! ”
The lives of the Manchurians are more precious than the gold of our Han people! Huang Shijian didn't dare to think about it anymore, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general will transfer another 2,000 people over!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, 17,000 sailors with swords, guns and guns rushed to Fuzhou in a long line like foot soldiers, now the sky was dark, the torches in the hands of the soldiers were connected into a fire dragon, although the soldiers had quickened the pace, but Fukangan was not satisfied, his own soldiers waved whips, if someone was slow the whip would be split head and face to pull down. In the panic, no one found out for a while, and the personal soldiers under Fukangan didn't know that there were one hundred and ten people missing.
Two hours later, most of the officers and men who remained behind slept lazily, and the remaining few hundred yawned and patrolled the battalion. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and a group of cavalry ran to the camp gate and shouted, "Open the door, I am waiting for the personal entourage of Marshal Fu, and we have something important to enter the camp!" ”
After looking at the leader and the man who seemed to have seen it, and checked the waist card and found nothing unusual, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the camp gate. Unexpectedly, when the gate was opened, these cavalrymen rushed in with long knives in their hands, and the group of soldiers were cut to pieces before they could shout. At the same time, the rumbling sound of artillery was heard on the sea.
In less than an hour, the remaining 1,000 people were wiped out. Su Changquan laughed and jumped off the boat, the Fujian sailors who were invincible in the past were easily eliminated like this, he is extremely happy now, and he still remembers Chen Jialuo's instructions, "Quick, everyone get off the boat, and drive away those boats that are still useful according to the plan, and burn all the boats that can't be driven away!"
