Zhang Long sneaked back to Guangzhou City, and soon met Zhu Jinglun, and after the foreign soldiers of the Guangzhou Governor's Yamen withdrew, Zhu Jinglun's actions were much more convenient. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Confess? Of course, I will give Mr. Zhang an explanation! ”

Faced with Zhang Longxing's general attitude of asking about crimes, Zhu Jinglun agreed, but sighed secretly in his heart, Zhang Qianshan found a problem and was not so easy to deceive.

Zhu Jinglun then asked Zhang Qianshan's location, and the explanation he gave was that Fuli arranged for someone to bring boxes of silver to Zhang Qianshan in person.

Looking at the boxes of white silver, Zhang Qianshan felt that this explanation was not bad.

But Fu Li's next words made him feel that the money was not money at all.

"These are the governor's bounties. Knock down the fort, and there is another heavy reward. The governor asked me to tell Mr. Qian, it's better to be confused when it's time to be confused. ”

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Qianshan didn't quite understand.

Fu Li said with a smile: "Your Excellency doesn't need to understand, your adult just needs to know that if someone occupies the fort at this time, none of the foreigners in the city will be able to leave." Either surrender obediently, or wait to die. This merit of seizing the city belongs to Lord Huang, but the credit of stopping the foreign soldiers and destroying Yidi is still wanted by my family. I wonder if Master Zhang also wants it? ”

Zhang Qianshan was moved.

Although he still doesn't know why Bai Gui is at odds with Huang Zonghan, because he doesn't know Bai Gui's situation at all, it's not that he doesn't understand officialdom, it's just that the information he gets is not at the same level as the information obtained by these civil officials, and he can't feel Bai Gui's dangerous situation at all.

According to his understanding, he felt that Bai Gui and Huang Zonghan were not in harmony, probably out of a power struggle, at present, I am afraid that the two of them do not agree on the matter of recovering Guangzhou, so you do yours, I gan mine, as for what the result of their struggle is, Zhang Qianshan does not know, Zhang Qianshan only knows, as long as the fort is laid, it will be a great achievement.

Blocking the retreat of the remnants of the enemy and annihilating all the people, whether this credit falls on Huang Zonghan's head or is shared by Bai Gui, what does this have to do with them Zhang Qianshan, he is a military general, relying on bloodshed to make meritorious contributions, as long as he blocks the foreigners, it is his credit, whether it is Huang Zonghan or Bai Gui, they have to admit this.

As for saying that they refuse to admit it, it is not so easy to rely on him Zhang Qianshan's credit, Zhang Qianshan will definitely give them a deep impression.

"I think Mr. Zhang Qian should know how to do it, right?"

Fu Li coldly put down the next sentence, and then said goodbye, at this time it was already afternoon, the sun was shining, and Zhang Qianshan's blood seemed to be hot.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Zhang Long asked.

Zhang Qianshan said: "What else can I do?" Beat! ”

Zhang Long sighed: "That fort is not easy to fight, the key is not on the shore, but in the river, there is water on all sides." We didn't have a boat, so we had to swim through. Then we won't need our horse team. ”

Zhang Qianshan snorted: "When you should be confused, you must be confused." When it's time to fight hard, you have to work hard! ”

Zhang Qianshan also knows that the words of the water war are not good for his horse team, the four hundred people he brought this time are all his henchmen, you must know that he has more than this number of people, but these four hundred people are his henchmen, and they are the capital he has saved bit by bit over the years.

But you can't miss the opportunity, you can't cross the river on horseback, so swim over!

The words are rough, but in fact, Zhang Qianshan is a very meticulous person, and most of this meticulousness is in the war.

So he didn't do it immediately, but changed his torn clothes and led a dozen or so subordinates to the Guangzhou wharf generously.

The next day I chartered another flower boat and wandered outside for a day. At night, he docked at a nearby pier and kept an eye on the battery.

Life is to fight, but this life is not easy to fight.

The defense of the fort in Zhang Qianshan's eyes, is nothing, at least not as good as the siege, taking the east fort as an example, there are walls on all sides, but it is not high, their good hands, it is not difficult to turn over, the number of foreigners' soldiers is not much, only dozens of people, the defense of foreigners is not strict, only a few sentry posts, in the second half of the night they touch in, it is not difficult to hand. It is rare that there is not one, but two forts.

No matter which of the two forts they move, the other will perceive it, and it will be difficult to succeed in a sneak attack, which is why the military always pays attention to the arrangement of horns and formations, and defending against sneak attacks is a very important factor.

The Haizhu Fort is close to the center of the river, but close to the north shore of the land, the tidal flat is about to be connected to the land, and it is not difficult to swim over. The East Fort is even simpler, and between it and the river bank, there is only a narrow Haoyong.

In the past three days, Zhu Jinglun has not been idle, he has already figured out the situation of the two forts, the specific situation is Bai Gui to investigate, in the past the East Fort installed 36 artillery, with a total of 1,000 soldiers led by 30 troops stationed, Haizhu Fort has 50 cannons, and the army does not exceed 50. As for the changes made by the foreigners after occupying this place, it is not known, but there is one point, the foreigners may have strengthened the batteries, or perhaps replaced the artillery, but they did not increase their troops, or even slightly decreased, because their forces were really tight.

These situations were also sent to Zhang Qianshan.

Eradicating these circumstances, in the middle of the night of the third day, Zhang Qianshan finally acted.

In order to succeed in one blow, the chicken must also be killed with a knife, and 400 people will be dispatched together.

One hundred of the most reliable men went to the Haizhu Fort, led by his godsons Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, and the remaining 300 men were responsible for attacking the East Fort, under the personal command of Zhang Qianshan.

The reason for this arrangement is because the Haizhu Fort is farther away from the coast, once it misses, there will be no second chance, it is useless to go to more people, relatively speaking, the assault effect is more important, before there is no better way, Zhang Qianshan decided to wait until the Haizhu Fort is determined to do it on the other side, and he is doing it on his side.

Once that side enters the Haizhu Fort, raise the fire as a signal, as for whether this fire will expose the action of attacking the East Fort, it will not be controlled, if it is exposed, the East Fort side must be attacked, so this side is equipped with more men and horses, and at the same time, this side is closer to the river bank, it is a big deal to attack, so it can be more popular.

The third watch has passed, the fourth watch has not yet arrived, and both sides have taken action at the same time.

Zhang Qianshan personally led 50 good hands, each with a bamboo tube tied to his body, quietly touched the riverside less than 200 meters away from the East Fort, went into the water one by one, and slowly touched it. They were lucky, or the foreigner's guard sentry was relaxed in the second half of the night, but he successfully touched the wall, and hid in the dead corners of the wall one by one, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the direction of the western Haizhu Fort.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Qianshan finally saw a torch on the opposite side shook a few times, and then extinguished, confirmed with his subordinates that he saw it, and then gave an order, immediately set up a human ladder, and a man as light as a swallow jumped over the wall, and after more than ten people climbed over the wall, he suddenly heard a gunshot from the Haizhu Fort, and there was fire!

Bad luck is not bad, Zhang Qianshan didn't expect to kill all the foreigners quietly, it was too easy, too easy to get the credit is worthless, this is the truth that Zhang Qianshan has touched for so many years, those civil officials are cowardly, always thinking about opportunism, and if they want to do a little trick, they can get a big success, and most of them are putting themselves into it.

Gunshots rang out one after another, the east fort was already startled, the guards shouted loudly, the whole camp moved, Zhang Qianshan and others all crossed the wall, along the wall not in a hurry to fight inside, but rushed towards the gate, their speed was fast enough, the guards in front of the gate did not have time to react, they were put down, and when they opened the gate, there were already more than 100 people swimming through Haoyong outside, rushing into the fort.

When it was ugly, the two forts fell silent again, but there was a strong smell of blood, and hundreds of lives left this world forever.

At this time in the city of Guangzhou, Zhu Jinglun did not sleep, and Bai Gui did not sleep, both of them were nervous.

They were waiting for news, waiting for two news, one was the news of Zhang Qianshan's storming of the fort, and the other was the news from Huang Zonghan's side.

Bai Gui has no one in his hands, even if Zhang Qianshan captures the fort, if the foreigners counterattack tomorrow, they will not be able to hold it.

Without a fort in hand, it is a joke to say that the blockade of the south of Guangzhou is a joke.

In the dead of night, the sound of the rifle could be heard far away, and the gunshot that had just ended rang out again.

The troops deployed by the foreigners on the docks began to counterattack.

Zhu Jinglun and Bai Gui were even more anxious when they heard the gunshots, and what they wanted to hear was not the sound of gunshots, but the sound of cannons.

The French also had a broken battleship in their hands, which was still able to participate in the battle after emergency repairs, and the guns they wanted to hear were certainly not French naval guns, they wanted to hear the shore defense guns on the batteries.

If you want the cannon of the fort to sound, you must have a gunner, but Bai Gui doesn't even have a single artillery in his hand, there are more than 100 artillery in the Eight Banners garrison in Guangzhou, but together with the other Eight Banners, they are all locked up in the barracks, not to mention Bai Gui, Mukdenne can't be released.

Therefore, if you want to use these cannons, you can only rely on the group of gunners refined by Huang Zonghan, but Huang Zonghan and Bai Gui are not in harmony, how can Huang Zonghan help Bai Gui.

Looking at Bai Gui's anxious appearance, Zhu Jinglun reassured him and said:

"Don't worry, Lord Huang will definitely send someone, he knows that the overall situation is important."

Bai Gui sighed: "How can he help me, how can he help me!" He doesn't want to hit the fort, and he's the minister of demolition, so how can he listen to me? ”

Bai Gui is the governor, Huang Zonghan is the governor of Liangguang, and he is also the minister who is fully responsible for the affairs of Guangdong, so there is really no need to listen to Bai Gui's arrangement.

But since the attack on the fort is already a fait accompli, cooperation is the righteousness at this time, and there is righteousness in hand, and Huang Zonghan is at a loss if he does not help. But Bai Gui couldn't order Huang Zonghan at all, and Huang Zonghan didn't seem to be able to help, as if he could only see whether the other party was willing or not.

Since Bai Gui can't order Huang Zonghan, then find someone who can order Huang Zonghan.

Zhu Jinglun suddenly had an idea: "My lord, the villain has a plan, why don't you write a letter at this time, copy a copy and send someone to send it to Lord Huang?" ”

Bai Gui was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, that's right, Huang Zonghan doesn't deal with himself, he may not be able to help himself, but now he is doing the right thing, as long as he takes the fort, he will seal the south of the city, and the people in the city will be unable to escape, if Huang Zonghan refuses to help himself, the lawsuit will be taken care of by himself wherever the emperor goes, as long as he sends this letter, even if he loses, he can also put the responsibility on Huang Zonghan, why didn't he think of this, he was really anxious, and couldn't help but be a little impressed by Zhu Jinglun, and he could still be so calm in this situation, Rare!

Immediately drafted a note, copied a copy, and ordered someone to go out of the city from the secret passage overnight and hand it over to Huang Zonghan.

But the copy had just been sent out, and in less than half an hour, the cannon fire outside the city was intensive.

Bai Gui glanced at Zhu Jinglun, and sighed secretly in his heart, oh no, this time he completely offended Huang Zonghan.
