Thanks to the idiot, *Journey*, Huayang, 1st Guards Tank Brigade, Rather Die on Kneeling, and West Germany for their big rewards! Thank you!

...............

Sure enough, Zuo Zongtang leaned over with a look of surprise and said, "Holy King, this foreign spear is extremely powerful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 If all the soldiers of the Holy Army could be equipped with this kind of foreign guns, no, even if they were only half equipped, our Holy Army would be enough to sweep through the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

Feng Yunshan smiled: "Yes! However, Ji Gao, on the foreigners' side, we must continue to buy, but we must also pay close attention to the establishment of an arsenal and realize the production of firearms on our own as soon as possible. ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded, he now understood why the Holy King had been dealing with foreigners recently, it was because of these foreign guns!

Luo Xuan, Lin Fengxiang, Bai Huihuai, Liu Shengbang, Cui Datong and other generals also surrounded them.

"Holy King, this foreign gun, hurry up and distribute it to the soldiers! Even I have itchy hands, and I want to do 2 shots to kill the demon! Lin Fengxiang said eagerly.

"Yes, Holy King, let's divide it early." Luo Xuan also echoed: "Think about it, how refreshing it is for the holy soldiers to use such foreign guns to beat the demons and pee!" ”

Cui Datong couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on how wise it was to surrender to the Holy Army.

Just as Feng Yunshan was about to say about the distribution of foreign guns, a messenger quickly whipped up and went straight to the arrow path.

"Report to the ......., report to the Holy King, Bao'an has an urgent military situation delivered!" The messenger jumped off his horse.

The urgent letter was sent by Lin Shifa, a subordinate of Chen Yucheng stationed in Baoa County.

After marching into Guangzhou Prefecture, Lin Shifa was promoted from Feng Yunshan's personal guard commander to the brigade commander of the Holy First Army. After capturing the county seat of Bao A, Lin Shifa obeyed Chen Yucheng's order and led a thousand holy soldiers to garrison the county town of Bao A.

"What? Chen Kai actually died? Chen Xianliang is also dead? Feng Yunshan looked at the urgent report and was taken aback: "I was still killed by Lin Xunlong and Lai Wenhong!" This Lai Wenhong appeared again? ”

"Lu Shunde did a good job! has made great contributions, and now the hidden danger of the righteous army has also been removed, and the holy army has 40,000 more soldiers! Well, even this Lai Wenhong caught it? Very good, send him to Guangzhou! ”

Feng Yunshan praised again and again.

At this time, there was another hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the archery field, but two more messengers came on fast horses, and shouted eagerly: "Report, Holy King, the foreigners have called!" ”

However, it turned out that Liang Peiyou led the boat army, and after occupying the Xiangshan area, the seized property was transported to Guangzhou through the mouth of the Pearl River in a red single boat. On the way, he encountered a fleet of foreigners' warships, and the foreigners opened fire without saying a word, and Liang Peiyou's boat army suffered heavy losses at once. Liang Peiyou saw that the situation was not right, and organized his boat troops to flee to the nearest Humen Fort, and the foreigners pursued them all the way, and when the messenger was sent to report the news, the foreigners had already begun to attack the Humen Fort.

Definitely British! It's really attacked!

Fortunately, a day earlier, the French minister Bourblon had secretly revealed to himself the information that the British deputy governor of Hong Kong Island was hostile to the Taiping Holy Army.

He also immediately sent someone to inform Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang, who were stationed in the forts along the Pearl River, to take strict precautions, but the time was too fast, and it is estimated that they were not prepared. Feng Yunshan couldn't help but get anxious!

He was very clear about the firepower of the warships of the foreigners, especially the British, and the three warships in history were able to show off their might and hit the city of Guangzhou, in addition to the weak resistance of the Manchus, the guns were not blown, but also the main reason.

Didn't the British fight with the rebels a while ago, and two main warships were damaged, so how could they suddenly form a fleet again? Feng Yunshan couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he had to find a way to resist it, and he couldn't let the foreigners' warships kill under the city of Guangzhou.

After thinking about it for a while, Feng Yunshan ordered Luo Xuan to quickly dispatch the holy soldiers who were preparing to build a naval division, collect civilian boats and fishing boats, and go to the vicinity of Humen Fort to support Liang Peiyou, Chen Yucheng and others.

He also asked Lin Fengxiang to urgently dispatch 3,000 gunners with good marksmanship, all equipped with foreign guns and bullets, especially the Dreiser M1841 needle musket, and rushed to the Humen Fort to rescue.

Then, Feng Yunshan ordered Bai Huihuai and Cui Datong to mobilize 50,000 soldiers of the Holy Army and 50,000 people in the city of Guangzhou to rush to the shore of the Pearl River estuary, and set up pontoon bridges and huge ropes to intercept the river in gentle sections of the upper reaches of the river such as Liede Fort and Changzhou, which were only a few hundred meters wide, and cut down a large number of trees and threw them into the river, blocking the river and hindering the passage of foreigners' warships. He also collected artillery in the city, and continued to add long-range artillery to the Liede Fort and the Shuijunliao Fort next to Cheung Chau.

In the end, Feng Yunshan was still not at ease, he ordered Lu Shunde, who had just commanded the rebel army, and ordered him to send part of the rebel army to guard the Kowloon area, waiting for an opportunity to attack Hong Kong Island, forcing the British army to retreat to rescue.

After arranging, Feng Yunshan still felt uncertain about whether he could block the British warship, and felt a little aggrieved in his heart: he couldn't defend so passively anymore, it seemed that he had to develop the strength of the sailor as soon as possible!

……

"Your Excellency, the rebels fled to the Humen in front. It was the place where the opium of my British merchant was burned by the Manchus. There were several batteries there, which should have been occupied by the rebels, and were the most threatening places for our fleet. On the British cruiser "Telia", a foreigner explained to Rear Admiral Chad.

"The most threatening? Hmph, just with the few batteries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, dozens of guns fixed in that motionless artillery? My captain, would you be so stupid as to drive your warship under the guns and stupidly let him bombard? Major General Cha Wei looked disdainful and sneered.

"Yes, Major General! So let's just go ahead and attack? The captain of the British warship asked.

"No, no, no, those rebels also have some small boats, small but numerous. Have you forgotten some time ago, one of our wooden sailing gunboats was captured and two fast warships were damaged? "Although he was arrogant, he was a qualified British Navy Admiral with strict military qualities.

He ordered: "My British artillery has a long range, so I will take advantage of the range advantage of the guns on the flagship and wooden sailing boats to bombard the batteries outside the range of the rebel batteries, attract the ships next to them first, and then concentrate on attacking the batteries after destroying the ships!" ”

"Let the troop transports in the back prepare to dock, let Bai Gui and those Manchu sergeants get off the ship and land first, and make a detour from the back to attack the battery, and the marines will follow behind and cooperate with the warships to attack the battery." "At the same time, let the Admiral of the Manchu Qing Navy lead his useless men to drive their warships in front of them, lure the batteries to fire, and test the range of the guns on the batteries." ”

The British captain couldn't help but secretly admire this vice governor of Hong Kong Island, worthy of being the commander of the British Far East Fleet, for thinking of such a good idea.

Let the Manchu officials, the governor of Guangdong and the admiral of the navy, as the vanguard, rush to the front and test the firepower of the rebels. He hurriedly agreed, and sent someone to put down the rowing boat and give orders to the several warships behind.
