At this time, it seemed that Cai Lian's heart was puzzled, and all kinds of thoughts, Zhuge Mou explained: "Brother Cai, I won't tell you, if there are only such a few people on the two islands of Langqi and Nantai, the total will be 1,549 and 18 warships, which is a piece of cake at all, and Lei Ting only needs to send one battalion of troops to solve the problem and take the two islands."

Although he has only joined Thunder for two or three months, Cai Lian still has some understanding of Thunder's troop establishment, and the strength of a battalion is only more than 300 people, how can he fight with the Qing troops on Langqi Island and Nantai Island? I was puzzled in my heart, I didn't know why, I couldn't help but follow the prestige, looked at Zhuge Mou, and waited for the next explanation.

"Brigade Commander Cai, do you know, our Thunder soldiers are not only disciplined, most of them are fishermen along the coast, they grew up on the seaside since they were children, and they are well versed in water, as long as they take advantage of the night to act, use dozens of small boats to transport the strongest soldiers, and when there is still some distance from the two islands, let them swim over and secretly board Langqi and Nantai, no."

Zhuge Mou's words are already obvious, that is, to take the method of attacking Hong Kong Island, first send a team of soldiers to swim over, gain control of the coast, and then win the first opportunity for the landing of the army.

The difference is that the seizure of the island this time is not large-scale, so it has been changed, as long as two or three hundred people go to the island, the Qing court officers and soldiers above can be solved. But Cai Lian didn't understand this, and still didn't react, and said with some doubts: "Zhuge Staff, although there are not many people on Langqi and Nantai, they are all elites of the Qing court, and they are all equipped with firearms, and it will be difficult to take it quietly, very difficult." ”

Cai Lian repeatedly emphasized, but Zhuge Mou just smiled, and said meaningfully: "Brigade Commander Cai, it's useless to say more, you will know when you see the results, and you will know that I am not bragging to you, boasting about Haikou or anything." ”

However, Cai Lian wanted to say something, but when he looked around and saw that everyone else was like this, he thought it was true, nodded frequently, and was very recognized, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth and responded lightly

"Okay, I'll just listen to you..."

Zhuge Mou didn't care about Cai Lian's thoughts anymore, but looked at Qi Zhiyuan and said loudly: "Since this is the case, military commander, then I will arrange it." ”

"Well, go ahead, you must explain it, let them not use firearms, and use cold weapons such as bows and crossbows to kill people as much as possible to solve the opponent."

"Yes, Commander, I will definitely explain."

I don't know when, under the moonlight, in the thunderous warship formation, one after another small boats sailed out, moving quickly, towards a black spot in the distance, it was the direction of Langqi, with the help of the faint moonlight, you can vaguely see that there are about six to eight people on each small boat, all squatting, as low as possible.

An hour passed, and Qi Zhiyuan, Zhuge Mouyu, Cai Lian and others had already walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking into the distance, the direction of Langqi. At this moment, there was a fire point on Langqi Island that was clearly shaking, first turning clockwise three times, then counterclockwise three times, and so on until the thunder side responded.

At this moment, except for Cai Lian and his old department, Qi Zhiyuan everyone knows what this signal means? Even so, Zhuge Mou still said excitedly: "Commander, they have succeeded, we can act, continue to go deep into the Minjiang River, and march towards Fuzhou Mansion!" ”

Although he understood Zhuge Mou's meaning, Cai Lian still didn't believe that with only two or three hundred people, the soldiers of Thunder could defeat twice as many Qing court officers and soldiers as himself, and they were still opponents with firearms. After all, Cai Lian has only joined Thunder for two or three months, and he has not seen Thunder's real individual combat power, and his thinking is still stuck in the previous idea, fighting with the Qing soldiers, either by virtue of favorable terrain or surprise, in order to win, and then there is to win with more and less.

Even if he didn't believe it in his heart, Cai Lian still reserved his opinion, did not speak indiscriminately, and did not stop Zhuge Mou's order, but watched from the wall, holding a wait-and-see attitude, whether it was true or not, as long as he could see if he could pass through the waters of Langqi, he would be able to see the difference.

Facts can prove everything, this is Cai Lian's true thoughts, the actual attitude in his heart.

The thunderous warship formation pulled out, walked slowly, and went westward, the speed was getting faster and faster, and what made Cai Yan stunned was that when the warship formation passed through the waters of Langqi, it really did not encounter any attack, passed smoothly, drove safely on the water surface of the Minjiang River, and went straight to the direction of Fuzhou Fu.

Gradually, Cai's undulating heart returned to calm, and he had a new understanding of Thunder's strength, and recognized a lot of the task of attacking Fuzhou Mansion this time, and felt that it was not a decision to pat his head, Thunder's individual combat power was really like this, and he could use one enemy and two to strengthen the Qing army and kill the other party, which can be seen from the capture of Langqi.

With the departure of another battalion, entering Nantai Island and landing ashore, another hour passed.

Soon, it was still the case, there was also a fire point on Nantai Island, and the Thunder Warship Formation continued to move forward, and when all the warships completely entered the hinterland of the Minjiang River waters, Cai Lian's last trace of concern was dispelled and he was completely relieved.

Under the moonlight, the stars twinkled, and when the thunderous warship formation stopped again, Qi Zhiyuan whispered to a soldier behind him: "Set off the Kong Ming lantern, inform Commander Chao of them, our thunder is ready to be in place, just wait for them to act, as soon as the signal comes out, the reinforcements here will land ashore, take the garrison outside the east of Fuzhou Mansion, and plan their actions." ”

"Okay, Commander!"

Immediately, with an order, the command ship flew out of the Kong Ming lanterns, it was a summer day, it was the Pacific monsoon, and the Kong Ming lanterns floated westward, which was the direction of Fuzhou Mansion.

The assault boats were ready to go, the oars were lying in the water, the helmsman was holding the side of the boat, and the soldiers who were rushing to help were ready to take position, and they quickly entered the boat, just waiting for the order, immediately rowed, carried out landing operations, and rushed to Fuzhou Prefecture.

The guns in both hands reflected the moonlight and emitted a faint light.

In Fuzhou City, the most prosperous block and traffic artery, its street, with Dongmen Street to Qixunkou as the axis, north from Tangmen, south to the water department, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the whole area is the place where the Eight Banners are stationed, can be called the city in the city of Fuzhou City, in normal times, the Han people are not allowed to live here, but they can pass by, pass through here.

At this time, around the four main directions of Qiqi Street, a group of soldiers appeared, their movements were crisp and neat, without bringing out a single sound, everyone was armed with steel guns, and soon disappeared into the alley, covered by darkness. In an alley near Qixunkou, a whispering voice sounded.

"Commander, is it necessary? Where is this? Let the troops of one of our regiments stay here, and if you want me to say, with the weapons in our hands, it only takes a battalion of brothers, armed with machine guns, to sweep this area. ”

"What's the point, what do you kid know? To be honest with me, according to the information we have obtained, this is the street of Qiqi, where the Eight Banners of the Manchurian Tartars are stationed, there are more than 4,000 people, and the center is the Zhenmin General Office. I can tell you, don't make any trouble for Lao Tzu, to be honest, the commander attaches great importance to the operation here, but he sent four regiments to surround and attack from four directions. ”

"Okay, don't be verbose, let me check if everyone is ready to enter their respective areas of responsibility? If you all enter the relevant area and are ready, hurry up and light the Kong Ming lantern and tell the commander that our side is ready. ”

"Yes, Commander, I'll go now." (To be continued.) )
