The sunlight fell through the dark clouds, adding a golden aura to Sandu. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Sandu Ningde Taxation General Port outside the sails, dozens of warships of different sizes one after another.

It is a world-class natural deep-water port that is rare in the whole of China. In later generations, the name of Sanduao, the blessing of the Tuosun cannon, many historical whites have heard of it.

Dozens of warships with red flags, hundreds of cannons of all sizes hit the harbor batteries like locusts, and the entire harbor struggled painfully under the fire, and the gray and black clouds converged into thick clouds of smoke after the explosion of the flowering shells. Solid bullets smashed the hillside walls and houses, and the damp earth was scorched with gunpowder, and green smoke rose from the dirt.

“…… Put! ”

Chen Liansheng stood beside a sixteen-pounder front-loading smoothbore gun, his eyes fixed on the Fu Han army warship that entered his field of vision, and shouted vigorously. Following Chen Liansheng's order, the gunner held a fire hook and lit the fuse rope. The fuse rope hissed with black smoke and quickly burned inside.

"Boom...... The six guns of the ...... were fired one after another, and a gun carriage weighing several thousand pounds suddenly fell backwards, and the green smoke in the fort was filled with the smell of choking gunsmoke.

Chen Liansheng saw that as his artillery roared in the sky, six fiery fireballs pierced the air and flew towards the front warship. But they all fell into the water not far in front of the warship, and high columns of waves splashed on the sea. The bow of the warship of the Fu Han army did not sway slightly.

"Niang Xipi, why did you miss?! Give me again! Hurry, hurry up and reload ammo. This time, you have to aim accurately, don't fucking splash Lao Tzu again! Chen Liansheng shouted loudly.

The fort in Sandu began to be built in mid-February, and the news of the second trip of the Han army to Jiangnan reached Fujian, and Ming Fu had the foresight to build a fort in Sandu, and purchased a batch of Western-style naval guns in Guangzhou. Although there are only three forts built with care, all of them are closed forts, which are completely different from the original open forts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, as soon as the cannon is opened, it is inevitable that the internal gunpowder smoke will be filled, and now it is the height of summer, the temperature is already very good, and everyone is sweating profusely in the closed artillery fortress, and the temperature in the cannon is soaring, and many people have simply taken off their clothes and are shirtless.

The gunner in the back quickly fitted the gun with a new fuse rope, added the prepared sub-guns, loaded the shells into the bore from the front, and then pushed the gun from the back to the front of the muzzle.

The fire rope was ignited again, and there were six loud noises in a row, Chen Liansheng's eyes were white, and when the smoke spread around, there was a big hole in the cabin of the large thunder ship that the Fu Han army had just started, and black smoke curled up on the black gap, and the sailors on the ship were in a mess, busy extinguishing the fire. All the hot bombs that came out of his fort were scorching bombs, and it was obvious that the thunderous ship of the Fu Han Army had been hit by a shot.

"Hit!"

There was cheering in the fort, and the morale of the gunners was soaring, and although there were two shots, only one of the twelve shells in front and behind hit one, which was also very exciting.

One by one, the movements are faster and more sharp, this is Chen Liansheng's feeling, he feels that he has hit a shot, and the movements of his gunners have become faster. Their ears could also hear the artillery on the batteries elsewhere roaring in anger at the Han fleet.

A loud bang suddenly sounded from the top of the "boom ......" battery. The whole earth seemed to shake violently, and Chen Lian's heart was about to jump out of his panic. The battery was shot, but it was still on the 'top of the head'.

The light inside the fort dimmed, and pungent smoke and dust billowed in from outside.

Holding on to the wall, Chen Liansheng's heart was still beating violently, and he kept shouting in his heart for luck.

"Thankfully, fortunately!" Fortunately, the fort was closed, and the top was reinforced with clay, sleepers, and stones, and if it was an open fort, this shell would fall, and if the falling shell hit a powder keg again, everyone here would have to see Hades.

Although no one in the artillery was killed by a direct hit by the enemy's shells, for the gunners, the trauma was more psychological, and the combat effectiveness was still greatly affected. What's more, as the first shells of the Fu Han army fell, more and more shells hit the fort, and the speed and movement of the gunners in the fort were slowed down.

The first time he was shot, Chen Liansheng was very frightened, but the second and third ......, the artillery fortress was hit by more artillery, and he became more confident in the defense of the current artillery fortress. And take the leisure to take a thorough look at the fleet outside!

Although the fleet of the Fu Han Army occupies an absolute upper hand in the number of artillery, the largest artillery loaded on the ship is only eight catties of artillery, and the number is very small. The artillery battle lasted for a long time, and I don't know how many iron bullets hit the fort, blowing up the stones on the outside, but the Qing troops inside were not damaged at all, and the firepower was still as dense as at the beginning. If the fight continues like this, the warships of the Fu Han army will be damaged little by little.

"Deputy Commander! Shark 11 was martyred. The lookout on the mast shouted anxiously below.

The Shark 11 is a large warship, and the pipe belt was originally intended to be closer to the shore to carry out artillery bombardment, but as a result, a group of shells flew from the shore, one of which accurately landed on the gun position on the side of the left ship, detonating the gunpowder on the gun position, like a thunderclap on a sunny day, and the sound louder than the explosion of the shell came from the sea. Billowing black smoke rose rapidly from the Shark 11, enveloping the entire warship.

The entire hull of the Shark 11 was blown open by a large gap, and the left side of the ship was completely gone. The sturdy mast in the smoke flew high in the smoke, and when the smoke cleared, the Shark 11 warship was laid horizontally on the sea, the main mast fell not far from the hull, the auxiliary mast was half folded, the sails were stained with fire, and there were several open flames outside the ship. Although the whole ship did not break in half, it was almost incapacitated, just like the banana boat that was bitten in the middle. I don't have the ability to fight back!

Luo Daliang scolded fiercely. Such a severe wound is not like a gunpowder explosion on a single gun position, Shark 11 is too unlucky.

The bow side of the Shark 11 suddenly stirred up a huge column of water, and several red lights flashed violently, and several more water columns appeared around it.

"It's all there! …… Aim for the big ship,...... Sink it for me! Attention, with arson bombs, with arson bombs. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Chen Liansheng gritted his steel teeth, and his cheeks were constantly twitching.

This artillery battle has been going on for half an hour, and he doesn't know how long it will last, if the Fu Han army sends people to land, there will be enough people here in Sandu. Xiapu [Funing Mansion City] has been lost, and a large number of soldiers have retreated to Ningde. As long as it wasn't for the large army of the Fu Han army coming, just their sailors, Chen Liansheng was still confident in keeping Sandu today.

As for what to do when the large army of the Fuhan army arrives? Then run away. When Fuzhou is finished, if he can still have a life, then flee to other places, cut his braids and obediently serve the Fu Han army as a submissive citizen. Anyway, Chen Liansheng would never do it as a coolie in the prisoner of war camp.

Although Chen Liansheng was a man with the Yellow Flag of the Han Army, and his ancestor followed the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Later Jin Dynasty when he was in Liaodong, the situation was corrupted to that extent, and he also worked hard, and he did not owe the Qing Dynasty.

On the Whale No. 4 warship, the pipe belt was persuading Luo Daliang that the fleet could not move the stone enclosed fort with a firm skin now, so it was better to retreat. It's a pity that Shark 11 is finished, but if you don't leave now, more ships will be damaged.

The Qing army moved the few good cannons into the closed battery, and the cannons arranged in the open air outside were not as good as the cannons in the three closed batteries in terms of range and quantity, and it was meaningless to consume them any longer.

"Deputy Commander, let's withdraw, right? To take these three batteries, there must be marines. Let's go back now, and when the follow-up ships arrive, we will rush in at night, and as soon as the people land on the shore, no matter how strong the fort is, we will be able to capture it. ”

After waiting for a long time, Guan Tie found that Luo Daliang seemed to be still choking, and he also knew that he was depressed now. Xu Youruo had just taken a fleet of Qing troops, led the army, and captured Funing Mansion City almost bloodlessly, but it was his turn to lead the team south, and he crashed headlong on the hard stone of Sandu.

Repeated: "Deputy Commander, His Royal Highness Duke Lu said, don't let the fleet go to the prepared shore batteries when there are no marines. I suggest we retreat now! Deputy Commander-in-Chief? …… Deputy Commander-in-Chief? ”

Luo Daliang turned his head to look at him, his face was full of helplessness, and he said bitterly: "You're right, there is no marine, there is really no need for the fleet to bombard the prepared batteries, withdraw!" ”

It can only be said that he was unlucky!

On the third day of the sixth month, the Fu Han army took the sea route and easily took the city of Funing. On the fourth day of the first month, the first naval division of the Fuhan Army captured Sanbuke, but the naval division could not help the Sandu Fort, but the army easily captured Ningde by land. Then, without waiting for the comeback of the Han Army Naval Division to sail into Sandu, the Qing army in Sandu Port all retreated to Luoyuan.

After Luoyuan, it is Lianjiang, and then you can see Fuzhou City.

At the same time, the Second Garrison Division that entered Jianning Mansion also had a complete encounter with the Tiandihui Righteous Army guarding Jianyang, the city of Jianning Mansion.

For the Heaven and Earth Society Righteous Army, Chen Ming didn't want to use force, otherwise Fujian is mountainous, and a land of Fujian doesn't know how many hands and feet and troops can stumble him, and it will be a waste of precious time.

"Your Highness, Taiwan's letter."

Xiong Bingzhang strode in with an excited face, walking with a gust of wind, and he held a book in his hand. Chen Ming took it and looked at it, and the content was not unexpected, that is, it was a sacrifice of land and surrender, and the whole of Taiwan was put into effect.

Looking at the signature and signature, in addition to Yan Yan, the general leader of the north and south roads of the Heaven and Earth Society, there are also the names of many major clan leaders in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. Of course, Chen Ming was happy, but "Zhangquan fights!" A bend in Taiwan's history that cannot be bypassed was also presented in front of him in a very straightforward way. (To be continued.) )
