After climbing the capital ship with difficulty, the artillery battle between the two sides lasted for another five hours. In fact, the French army has also developed a very advanced capital battleship, although it is not as good as the British monarch-class battleships, but it is also huge tonnage and strong firepower. However, the French army had less than 10 of these first-class warships, and naturally it was not the turn of the Far East Fleet, which was lone and all remained on the French coast to deal with the threat in the Atlantic. Only a few wood-clad iron and a small number of armored cruisers were lonely, and in the face of the flanking attacks of the batteries on the north and south banks, they could only withdraw in disgrace.

The casualties of the Qing army's batteries were not small, and the French ships were also damaged, especially the bow, mast, and stern of the New Huili, which were almost all scrapped. The lonely intestines who retreated to the anchorage were about to regret it, he had made a serious empirical mistake this time, he had known that there would be a fight, he would definitely not go in person, and he would have brought more ships with him. Unfortunately, because of his carelessness, not only did he almost get himself in, but the Newhuili was also badly damaged and had to be towed to a dockyard in Vietnam for repairs. The Far Eastern Fleet, which had a small number of ships, lost a battleship in such a daze.

"Gather all the main warships and launch a full-scale attack on the Qing army's position tomorrow, I want to take Zhenhai and kill all these hateful yellow pigs!" The lonely man who fled back in the evening was like thunder, and decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Qing army tomorrow.

As soon as the sun rose, the French army gathered all twelve main warships and pressed the whole army towards the mouth of the Yongjiang River. After entering the firing range, the French army concentrated all its firepower and began to bombard the Qing army batteries at Zhaobaoshan and Jinji Mountain. However, this time it was very strange, when the French army approached, the Qing army did not open fire to meet the enemy, and the French army began to attack with artillery, and the Qing army still did not respond. Guba was very puzzled, the behavior of the Qing army was too abnormal, he had to temporarily order the French army to retreat cautiously, Guba is also very cautious now, he is also afraid that the Qing army has some schemes!

Lonely and hesitant, and Wu Jie on the mountain opposite him was depressed. In yesterday's artillery battle, the two sides were evenly divided, and the Qing army could never be regarded as losing, but Wu Jie was scolded by Shanfeng. If it weren't for the wartime, it would be the time to employ people, and Wu Jie, who was born in the Chu army, also had some popularity, Xue Fucheng and Liu Bingzhang were also very optimistic about him, and Admiral Ouyang Li almost gave him to military justice. Ouyang Lijian's consistent proposition is not to provoke himself, and he has always paid attention to the enemy's "not to strike first, so as to wait for it", and the Zhaobaoshan Fort opened fire without asking for a military order, which naturally touched Ouyang Lijian's bottom line.

Today, the French army came again, and Ouyang Li, who was afraid that Wu Jie would fire again without authorization, went to the Jinji Mountain Fort to supervise the battle, and strictly ordered Wu Jie of Zhaobaoshan not to act without authorization. Wu Jie, who had wandered around before the ghost gate, was honest this time, and when the French army approached, he did not dare to order fire, and personally inspected and pacified the soldiers, so as not to make any radical actions by the front-line officers and soldiers. After the French army began to shell, Wu Jie felt that it was almost over, and he didn't provoke himself, it was the French who did it first, and I always have the right to fight back!

"Fayi has bombarded the batteries on both sides of the strait, please ask the army commander to give the order to fire artillery to attack the enemy!" Wu Jie, who was repeatedly admonished by Ouyang Lijian, did not dare to make up his own mind, and sent a telegram to Ouyang Lijian on the other side.

"Although Fayi has made a provocative move, it has not hit the vital point of our army, and the so-called artillery bombardment is only a treacherous plot to lure our army to strike first, and we must not return fire to tell the truth. Strictly order all ministries not to act recklessly, and wait for it! Ouyang Lijian's reply was very fast, but the content of the reply was enough to anger Wu Jie.

The concealment and camouflage of each fort were done under the guidance of a full of high-achieving students, and the effect was very good, so the French army, which had no detailed information, could not lock on to the target for a while. Wu Jie was very happy that the French army was not accurate, but he didn't expect that this would become a reason why he couldn't fight back. According to Ouyang Lijian's meaning, he had to wait for the French army to send the shells to the key point of the fort before he could return fire. Wu Jie is a dog, the forts have been blown up, what the hell are you going to shoot back! Ouyang Lijian is the highest military governor of a province, and what he executes is also the intention of Lord Li Hongzhang in the imperial court, Wu Jie's life and death are clutched in the palms of others, no matter how unconvinced, he can only endure it again and again.

"What the hell is this fighting, you can't fight back when you are beaten! Isn't it just that we are waiting to die here! The French shells were getting closer and closer to the batteries and nearby positions, and the soldiers shouted and cursed.

Wu Jie didn't send someone to suppress the soldiers, the cannonballs whined and flew overhead, who could not be afraid, it was normal to scold a few words, and the soldiers could not be stimulated at this time. Of course, Wu Jie loves to listen very much, and this is also a reason, if it weren't for his identity, Wu Jie would have been scolded a long time ago. If you are beaten, you are not allowed to fight back, how can there be such a war in the past, Wu Jie is about to get sick. Before Wu Jie went crazy, the French army finally achieved some success, a small-caliber artillery shell slipped into the Qing army's position, and three soldiers were killed on the spot.

"Military Gate Taijian, the French artillery shells have entered our position, and our soldiers have suffered many casualties, please give the order of the military commander to return fire!" Wu Jie felt that it should be okay this time, the psychological tolerance of the soldiers had reached a critical point, and the French army had already caused casualties to the Qing army, so there should be no need to worry about anything.

"The French warships are still far from Haikou, and the traces of attacking us are unknown. The injuries of individual soldiers have nothing to do with the overall situation and should not be moved lightly. Ouyang Lijian's palindrome was still cold, and the lives and deaths of several soldiers were not worth mentioning in his heart. He did not mention the location of the French shells, but emphasized the distance of the French army, and the Qing army was still not allowed to return fire before the French army approached the landing.

"Going to war in violation of orders, even if you win, you are also guilty, the military law is strict and unforgiving, don't make mistakes!" Ouyang Li saw that he was worried that Wu Jie would cut off the first and then play again, and soon after the reply, he immediately added another telegram, strictly ordering Wu Jie not to act privately, and issued a death threat.

Zuo Zongtang's health has not been good recently, and it seems that there is a possibility that he will not recover, so Wu Jie's backstage is very unreliable, and Wu Jie absolutely believes that Ouyang Lijian dares to kill him. Ouyang Li saw that he had already put the knife on his neck, and Wu Jie could only shrink his neck first, squatting in the turret and not daring to make a sound. In the face of the endless shelling of the French army, Wu Jie could only endure again and again, and then endure three or four times, and the only thing he could do was to pray that the French army's shells would run out quickly.

It is true that the French army had some difficulties in supplying, but their main shortage was fuel and food, and the shells were all original goods brought from France. The French army, which seemed to have an endless number of shells, bombarded the Qing army for a full day, and then slowly retreated in the setting sun. Wu Jie, who had been shelled for a day, was unharmed, but his eyes were already bleeding, he was too aggrieved!

Early the next morning, Wu Jie hadn't eaten breakfast yet! Guba came with the French army with a swagger again, and they summed up yesterday's combat experience and found that the Qing army did not dare to fight back at all, so this time they came over and were much more arrogant than yesterday. The five French ships drove directly to the sea area of Zhaobaoshan and launched close fire on the Zhaobaoshan Battery.

"I can't bear it anymore! The head fell off the bowl and had a big scar, so that Ouyang Li saw that he cut Lao Tzu! Command all gun positions to return fire! After observing the enemy's situation, Wu Jie's whole body began to tremble violently, and he himself seemed to hear his bones ringing. Wu Jie trembled not because he was afraid, he was about to die of anger, and finally this man couldn't bear it anymore and became completely angry.

"Lord Guard, don't move lightly! Lord Admiral has repeatedly ordered you to ...... "The surrounding generals have persuaded Wu Jie, hoping that he can endure it a little longer, Ouyang Li sees that it is not possible to kill the French, it is powerful to kill them!"

"I'll fuck it, give Lao Tzu an order, and Lao Tzu will be alone if something happens!" Wu Jie also crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he couldn't bear this breath no matter what.

The generals tried to persuade to no avail, so they could only convey Wu Jie's order to Zhaobaoshan Fort to fire back. However, Wu Jie's eyes behind the telescope were about to erupt fire, and the Zhaobaoshan Fort still didn't move at all, let alone hit the French ship, and not even a single spark was shot.

"Why don't you fire back!" The anxious Wu Jie personally rushed into the fort to see what was wrong with the guns, and then he was completely enraged by the scene in front of him. The gun emplacements were in good condition, and the gunners were ready, but not a single one of them fired a gun.

"Lord Garrison, Lord Admiral has ordered the whole army not to fire back fire, otherwise even if you win, you will be killed. The soldiers were all afraid of military law, and no one dared to give orders to open fire! Seeing that Wu Jie looked like he was going to eat someone, the generals hurriedly ran over to explain.

"Hehehe......" Wu Jie laughed as if he was mentally ill, shaking while laughing.

"Get out of here!" Wu Jie threw off his cloak, kicked away the hesitant gunner, and personally manipulated the cannon that had been loaded.

Since the French ships have not been returned fire by the Qing army, out of light the enemy, they have entered within two thousand meters of the Zhaobaoshan Battery, which is already the effective range of the old artillery. The Zhaobaoshan Fort is equipped with a lot of old-style artillery, but the Manchurian Jinxi III frame artillery that Liu Bingzhang spent a lot of money to get, and the 120-millimeter caliber coastal defense gun has a firing range of 8,000 meters. Wu Jie personally operated the cannon and hit the bow of the French ship Bachar with one shot. This cannon is equivalent to a close-range shot, so the shell directly penetrated the bow of the Bachar, and the huge explosion directly put the Bachar's main mast down. Although the friendly ship rescue was very timely, the Bachar was also abandoned, and Guba saw that the Qing army suddenly opened fire, and he did not dare to fight because he could not see the situation clearly, and the French fleet withdrew from the battlefield in an instant.

Wu Jie repelled the French army with one shot, and instantly became a hero in everyone's eyes, and then the hero was taken down on the spot by Ouyang Lijian's own soldiers who rushed over. Wu Jie opened fire and severely damaged the "Bachar", and was destined not to receive any commendation, but to Ouyang Lijian's military law, because he violated Ouyang Lijian's military order. Wu Jie was happy, but Ouyang Li was angry, Wu Jie took his three orders and five shen as a fart, and he naturally wanted to pick off Wu Jie's head.

Wu Daying was almost ironclad, but fortunately Ouyang Lijian was only a commander and did not hold the highest power in Zhejiang. After Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Zhejiang, Xue Fucheng and other civilian officials from Ning Shaotai and Beidao all came forward to protect Wu Jie, Ouyang Lijian also had to let Wu Jie live, but dismissal and punishment were still indispensable.
