Chapter 383: Slaughter
At this moment, a general on the side touched Sun Chuanmou and reminded cautiously and carefully: "My lord, let's withdraw quickly~!" If it was too late, the pirates' warship formations would catch up, and General Lin's sacrifice would be meaningless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Immediately, Sun Chuanmou's expression became calm and calm, and he shouted coldly: "Speed up, get closer to the waters of Macao, let's go!" β
After continuous attrition, the number of warships of the Guangzhou Navy Division led by Sun Chuanmou was less than 50, and the officers and men were even few, less than one-tenth of the original. I don't know why, what is the contact signal, the batteries along the coast of Xiangshan can always distinguish the difference between the Guangzhou Navy Division and the Thunder, as soon as Sun Chuanmou leaves a certain sea area, the batteries along the coast will shell the Thunder warship formation in the rear.
However, with the range advantage of the new artillery, the forts along the Pearl River in Xiangshan County were subjected to intensive retaliatory bombardment by thunder as soon as the first round of artillery bombardment was fired, and the corresponding fort area was instantly turned into a scorched earth, and the artillery and men were wiped out together.
Even so, in the face of the attack of the Qing court batteries along the Pearl River, the marching pace of the Thunder Warship formation was still affected, and the speed slowed down, making Sun Chuanmou's escape more comfortable, no longer so embarrassed, and panicked like a lost dog.
In the dark night, the three warship formations of the thunder pursued slowly, showing that they were not in a hurry to eliminate the remnants of Sun Chuanmou, but constantly shelled, bombarded the coastal batteries in Xiangshan County, and carried out indiscriminate attacks and devastating bombing. All of a sudden, along the banks of the Pearl River in Xiangshan County, not only the rumbling sound of cannons, but also a large area of fire and smoke rose into the sky.
At this moment, the three warship formations of Thunder were walking in their own backyards, strolling leisurely, allowing Sun Chuanmou to speed up and flee to Macao, but the main strategic goal had been changed, that is, the forts along the coast of Xiangshan County, hugging the grass and beating rabbits, nothing more.
The next day, before the rising sun rose and the sky was gray and bright, after a night of embarrassment, under the cover and response of the foreigners' navy, Sun Chuanmou landed on Macao Island with the remnants, while the thunderous warships cruised in the northwest, north and northeast directions of Hong Kong Island, stagnating, and confronting the navies of various countries, looking like they were not ready to attack, but put on the momentum of Mount Tai!
When the morning sun was rising, when the sky was bright, the thunderous warship formation began to act, and carried out artillery bombardment without warning, causing the navies of various countries to flee in a hurry, only a few foreign warships fled to the direction of the South China Sea, and a large number of foreign warships sank in the waters near Macao Island, and many foreigner corpses were floating on the sea, covering people from all over the world.
Under Qi Zhiyuan's iron-blooded order, all thunder warships will not accept any surrender, as long as they encounter Westerners, they will be killed! All of a sudden, the sea area in the north of the island was stained red with blood, and there were corpses of foreigners everywhere, drifting sideways, like purgatory on earth, miserable, unable to describe the tragedy of the sea in words.
Gradually, the three warship formations of Thunder slowly sailed towards Macao Island, constantly carrying out artillery bombardment, bombarding the northern coast of Macao Island, making the vicinity of the coast become bare, the smoke of gunpowder billowing out, and even more vegetation, everywhere there was gray-black soil, and the artillery craters of different depths were dense, spreading to the hinterland of Macao Island, until the soldiers of Thunder landed ashore, and the shelling did not stop. However, there was the sound of gunshots and birds.
Da Da...
Bang bang...
When the sun was on the third pole, the soldiers of the thunder finally landed on Macao Island, went to the hinterland, opened the way with bullets, and continued to advance, Qi Zhiyuan, Zhuge Mou and Zhang Baozai gathered on the coast, as soon as the battle was decided, Qi Zhiyuan said to the two of them coldly and iron-bloodedly: "Zhuge Staff Officer, Battalion Commander Zhang, convey my orders, and if you encounter the officers and soldiers of the Qing court, dare to resist and kill!" When you meet Westerners, all adult men, kill! β
The two killing words in a row are so iron-blooded and ruthless, disregarding life, making the surroundings permeated with the meaning of Xiao Killing. Zhang Baozai behaved very calmly, don't you think anything? Because, in normal times, he implements this kind of strategy, and whoever encounters a Westerner will be killed!
However, Zhuge Mou, who was dressed as a Confucian student, couldn't bear it, feeling that such a fight was too cruel and a cold-blooded slaughter! However, seeing Qi Zhiyuan's resolute expression, he no longer persuaded anything.
At this moment, when Zhuge Mou and Zhang Baozai were about to leave, they were about to lead their troops to sweep across Macao Island, but Qi Zhiyuan stopped the two of them: "By the way, two, don't forget that those books and Western machines of foreigners are all put on our warships and brought back to our base camp, which is of great use!" β
Soon after, the two left, Qi Zhiyuan followed, the soldiers of Thunder advanced from north to south, sweeping all the way, as long as they encountered Westerners, but as long as they were adults, the soldiers of Thunder would ruthlessly pull the trigger and shoot and kill.
After several hours of sweeping, the wolf smoke on Macao Island was billowing out, and the sound of machine guns and birds was everywhere, especially in the gathering area of foreigners, and it was even more firelight, and the gunfire was bursting, very dense, screaming again and again, and there were corpses of foreigners everywhere, and groups of thunderous soldiers stepped sideways, and from time to time moved out a thick stack of books from the residence of foreigners, or several people set up machines, dismantled them into scattered parts, and went straight to the nearby warships.
Qi Zhiyuan stood in the center of the foreigner gathering area, surrounded by a large number of soldiers on guard, whenever a suspicious person approached, there must be guns waiting! At this moment, a soldier came running from afar and came straight to Qi Zhiyuan, and before he could stand firmly, he panted and reported: "Report to the division commander, Sun Chuanmou led the crowd to escape from the western waters of Macao, and has landed on the shore of the former cottage, may I ask, do you want to continue the pursuit?" β
Qi Zhiyuan turned his head, calmly listened to the report of his soldiers, and then said lightly: "Forget it, it's just a waste, the entire Guangzhou Navy Division has been wiped out by us, even if Sun Chuanmou escapes back to Guangzhou Mansion, the Qing court will not let him go, and he will die." β
Immediately, another soldier came running from afar, and reported in the same breathless voice: "Report to the division commander, our people have searched a large amount of silver taels from the headquarters of the Guangdong Customs, and there are dozens of boxes. β
Hearing this, Qi Zhiyuan's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a shallow smile, and he said to himself in a hoarse voice: "Hehe, it's okay now, with this silver, we can build more warships and build more arsenals." β
When the sun was setting in the west, when the sun became dim, the thunderous warships returned with full loads and headed north, but the island of Macao was a mess, full of ruins, gunpowder smoke, and a strong smell of blood permeated the entire island.
Two days later, the Guangzhou Navy Division was wiped out and the foreigners on Macao Island were slaughtered, which spread throughout the entire Guangzhou Prefecture, and almost everyone in Guangzhou Province knew it.
Where the crowd is lively, there is no place for tolerance and servants, and this kind of discussion is more and more intense, and more and more unscrupulous.
"These dogs, they know how to bully us ordinary people on weekdays, but now it's okay, they wilt when they encounter pirates, and they are beaten so much that they don't even know their parents, they deserve it, they really deserve it, it's not pitiful to die a little more, the more people who die, the better!"
"It's just, those doglegs should have been cleaned up a long time ago. As long as you walk on the street, no matter how big or small the official is, you must have a high-minded look, beat anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, and rob other people's things, it is simply intolerable! β
"Yes, these doglegs aren't even as good as pirates. Pirates who kill people without blinking an eye know that they have to pay money to buy people and things, and robbing merchant ships is only to kill those foreigners, these dogs are good, and everything is towards foreigners, unless there is a good thing to spread them. Otherwise, we will never speak for our people, we deserve to die! β
