Under the command of Luo Xuan and Liang Peiyou, and according to the pre-set plan, the 5th and 5th Divisions A and B fired two rounds of artillery and then hurriedly retreated and fled into the bay between Little Kinmen Island and Big Kinmen Island. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Degao was overjoyed when he saw this! The heart that was originally anxious also became excited. He ordered the sailors of the three towns of Moswan, Haitan, and Funing to quickly send warships to pursue, and he personally led the Ben Biao sailors to supervise the formation in the rear.

The water master of Moss Bay Town had already suffered a big loss in Futou Bay last time, and this time he learned well. Even if he felt that he had the chance of victory, he deliberately delayed and slowly pursued into the bay.

However, the two towns of Haitan and Funing didn't know what was going on, seeing that the military exploits were in front of them, where could they manage so much, and hurriedly rushed into the bay.

Shi Degao was even more happy when he saw the chase into the bay. This Cantonese thief sailor panicked, and it was difficult to escape anywhere, so he fled into the middle of the three forts of the small Kinmen Fort and the big Kinmen Island. Now, with the firepower of three forts and the siege of the naval warships, it is necessary to kill these Cantonese thieves!

Shi Degao hurriedly ordered a signal, and ordered the defenders of the three forts to find an opportunity to open fire freely and shoot at the Cantonese thief warship!

In front, after the warships of the naval divisions of Haitan and Funing entered the bay for a few miles, they saw that the naval divisions of the captured army, which were supposed to flee, had stopped at some point, and arranged the fleet in a semicircular arc-shaped formation, as if waiting for them to rush into the ambush circle.

Seeing the Qing army's sailors entering the ambush, Luo Xuan gave an order, and the Humen led by it first let out more than 30 roars of artillery fire, followed by the Feisha and Tieniu, and the other warships also opened fire.

The more than ten warships of the naval division of Haitan and Funing two towns rushed to the front and suffered heavy losses at once, and three or four were damaged. However, when the Qing army's sailors saw that the defeated generals of the day before yesterday were arrogant in front of them, how could they care, gritted their teeth and ordered all the warships to rush up, spread out in formation, and fired back at the captured army sailors.

Immediately, the two sides shot at each other.

At this moment, the fort on Little Kinmen Island was the first to open fire, and nearly ten powerful shells rushed into the sea with a roar.

Seeing the coastal artillery of the Little Golden Gate Fort firing, the observer standing on the flagship immediately reported to the Admiral.

As soon as he heard that the fort had opened fire, Shi Degao with a smile on his face, hurriedly spread his hands, and asked his soldiers to come to the Western-made telescope, aimed at the warship camp of the Cantonese thief sailor in front, and observed, but found that although the thief ship was hit by shells from time to time, it did not suffer much loss. Moreover, it seems that this is not as powerful as the heavy coastal artillery imagined.

He felt strange and scolded the waste on the fort for firing so many shells that could not hit the thief ship. At this time, Wangshu suddenly exclaimed as if he had taken the wrong medicine: "Oh no, the Little Golden Gate Fort is firing at our fleet of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Shi Gao was frightened, and hurriedly took a closer look with a telescope, oh my God, it's true, the small Kinmen Fort is firing at the Funing Town Water Division warship that is rushing to the front, and it has sunk 2 warships and damaged 3 ships, and the Funing Town Water Division has been beaten.

What's going on? How so!? Looking at the two forts on the Great Kinmen Island but not a single shell was fired, Shi Degao thought that before the expedition, Chen Dingao, the chief soldier of Kinmen, led the warship to the north, and he immediately thought that Chen Dingao must be making trouble, and after a little thought, he knew that this Chen Dingao must be a thief!

Suddenly, his face turned pale and he cried out in horror: "Not good! Quickly, order the water divisions of Haitan and Funing to retreat and not pursue the thief army. Chen Dingao, the chief soldier of Kinmen Town, led the crowd to surrender to the thieves, and all the forts were manipulative, so we had to guard against their flanking attacks. ”

At the same time, he ordered the headquarters to raise the standard fleet to stop advancing and begin to prepare for retreat.

It's just that the sailors of Haitan and Funing Towns, who have already entered the bay and rushed into the encirclement, are in a fierce exchange of fire with the captive army, how can they have the energy and mind to pay attention to the orders coming from behind? By the time the order was received, the Second Town Naval Division had lost nearly 20 warships, and with the outflanked naval division, how could it be so easy to retreat?

Not only did the ships in the front row continue to fire, but the ships in the back two rows also began to bombard from the back, but the elevation angle was raised higher. However, this is no longer difficult for the soldiers of the capture army who have already fought several naval battles!

Originally, it still needed the guidance of foreigners. But now, the soldiers of the captives can independently complete the measurements and calculate the launch angle. As the surveyors on each warship determined the angle of fire of the cannons, all the gunners skillfully operated, and the cannonballs flew out in unison, passing over their own warships in the front row and falling into the group of Qing naval divisions.

The Qing soldiers in the two towns were defeated. In less than half an hour, more than 30 warships were lost, and although not all of them were sunk, they were wounded and had to withdraw from the battlefield and could only be beaten passively. At this time, the sailors of Haitan and Funing also understood that they had been conspired upon, but if they wanted to retreat, so many warships, and under the enemy's artillery fire, how could they turn around so quickly?

As a result, the water divisions of the two towns were extremely tragic. In the rain of cannonballs like a meteor rain, the remaining nearly 40 warships of the two town water divisions barely supported it, but at this time, the heavy coastal artillery on the small golden gate began a new round of bombardment, and only two loud noises were heard, and two more warships were damaged.

No, it can't go on like this anymore!

Shi has a high view and a clear score. He ordered the headquarters to raise the standard water division and the water division of Mowan Town to step forward from both sides to cover the retreat of the water division of Haitan and Funing Second Town.

So, under the cover of the artillery fire of more than 100 warships, the sailors of Haitan and Funing finally turned the bow of the ship and retreated. But in this way, five more warships were lost, and three large warships were also lost with the headquarters and the Mosswan Town Sailors.

Finally, the naval divisions of Haitan and Funing Towns, after losing half of their warships, withdrew from the bay.

But just then, a large group of small boats outflanked them. There were the same boats, boats, rice boats, and Tong'an shuttle boats as the Qing army's sailors, as well as various civilian boats and fishing boats, such as fishing boats, sentinel boats, and bluffing boats, and the number was as many as three or four hundred, but it was the B5th Division that gathered the small boats, and summoned the small knife and righteous troops in Tong'an, Chenghai, Xiamen, and other places, and drove all kinds of boats to intercept the Qing army's sailors who had just withdrawn from the bay.

In addition, there were a few officers and men of the 5th Division B standing on the ship, still holding torches, with an excited and belligerent expression.

Although the Qing Army's naval division, which was anxious to evacuate, immediately opened fire, blew up and damaged dozens of civilian ships, it was also delayed, and the officers and men of the Fifth Division of the First Division behind immediately drove the warships to catch up. It was covered by a round of close-range artillery, and suddenly, the headquarters and the water division of Moswan Town, which were dense behind, suddenly suffered heavy losses, and nearly 20 warships were damaged.

At this time, the officers and men of the 5th Division of the B, armed with torches, together with the Xiaodao Society, ignited dozens of ships and rushed towards the Qing army sailors gathered in a group.

The Qing army was shocked and hurriedly drove the boat to dodge left and right. But the ships wounded by the cannon bombardment were in a desperate situation, and they moved slowly because of the damage to their hulls or sails, and watched as they were caught by the fireboats, and then crackled into the fire, and began to burn.

Not only that, but even the headquarters and the warships of the Navy's division in Moss Bay Town behind them could not escape quickly, and they were all blocked at the mouth of the bay. The captured army and sailors bombarded a few more shells, and the small Kinmen battery also took the opportunity to bombard a few more shells.

Cast high and repent! He not only hated Chen Dingao, a bastard, but also hated himself for forgetting his long memory, just thinking about meritorious service, he recklessly rushed into the bay, and was once again ambushed by the Cantonese thief sailor and defeated.

Despite this, he still led the Fujian Sailors to rush left and right, suffered huge losses, and finally rushed out of the bay.

Shi Degao led the fleet and no longer dared to stay on Kinmen Island, so he hurriedly gave orders and hurriedly fled to the water division of Moswan Town, which was located on the Penghu Islands not far to the east!

But at this time, the entire Fujian Naval Division, the number of warships that were sunk, burned, and damaged and captured after being damaged had exceeded 80. Shi Degao's face has turned the color of pork liver! He failed miserably, but he was afraid of the fate of being dismissed and investigated!

And on the side of Luo Xuan's captive army, there were already cheers after defeating the Qing army's water division. (To be continued.) )
