Sunset and sunrise, the stars shift, in a blink of an eye, it is already the morning of the next day, the sun rises in the east, rising, birds chirp eagles fly, seagulls dance, shuttle between the waves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this moment, the surroundings of Hong Kong Island are extremely quiet, the silence is a little weird, very abnormal, and the waves seem to contain the breath of a war that is about to break out. In particular, the elusive reconnaissance ships could no longer be seen in the nearby waters.

The waves are still rolling, the wind is still howling, the seagulls are dancing, but there is a kind of mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings, and there is a smell of gunsmoke that cannot be smelled.

At the moment of dawn, before the sun rose, Qi Zhiyuan, Zhuge Mou and Shi Mingzhi left the village early and went to their respective battlefields and areas in charge. The three of them have a consensus, as long as they survive today, they will succeed in defending Hong Kong Island, and they will be able to completely gain a foothold in the southeast coastal area, have a place, and be recognized by other pirate forces, and will be one step closer to their goal!

God also seems to know that today is an extraordinary day, and there will be a great war about to happen, so that today the sky is clear, the sky is clear, the breeze is blowing, there is no summer heat, and there is no late autumn cold.

On the west side of Hong Kong Island, at the highest point of Mount Parker, near the southwest side, Qi Zhiyuan stood there proudly, with a chair behind him, and a guard platoon of twelve people around him, each holding a beaded gun, on guard. Higher up, three flag commanders stood there in each of the three directions, waiting for Qi Zhiyuan's order to be conveyed to the combat personnel.

Qi Zhiyuan stood on the left and right with an adjutant, accompanying him. Qi Zhiyuan held the binoculars in both hands, his face was solemn and expressionless, quietly observing the sea situation in Victoria Harbor, whether there were warships? Is there an enemy coming?

At this time, suddenly, through the high-powered telescope, Qi Zhiyuan saw the black-pressed group of ships coming slowly, gradually sailing towards his side. I didn't think much about it, I didn't make any moves, only my mouth was giving orders, and I still maintained that posture, observing the sea situation in Victoria Harbour.

"Quick, order all the combatants to get ready, enter the state of war, do not act rashly, wait for my orders, and then carry out artillery bombardment, bombardment of the invading enemy!"

Qi Zhiyuan's words were particularly sonorous and powerful, and they were unquestionable. At this moment, the two adjutants picked up the binoculars at the same time, raised their eyes, and the flag commander was also at the same time, conveying Qi Zhiyuan's instructions.

Soon, an adjutant asked suspiciously: "Regiment commander, these warships are already within the range of our artillery fire, why don't you give the order to attack?" ”

Qi Zhiyuan still maintained his inherent posture, as if to cultivate the two adjutants, and said calmly: "The reason is very simple, the range of our cannon is about 1,500 meters. In other words, we have a 500-meter advantage, and within a 500-meter defense, enemy ships cannot attack our batteries. In that case, why not let them get closer, sink as many ships as possible, and destroy their living forces. ”

The two lieutenants nodded at the same time, revealing a look of surprise. At this time, Qi Zhiyuan seemed to have discovered something, and muttered: "As expected, the first to attack was the Blue Flag Gang, who wanted to attack Hong Kong Island nearby." ”

As soon as the words fell, another adjutant asked again: "Commander, I remember that you said before that our main task is to guard the west gate of Hong Kong Island and the beaches along the coast to prevent the enemy from approaching. If we do this now, the closer the enemy ship gets, the more dangerous it will soon become? As soon as they are within range, they will wait with cannons, wouldn't that be safer? ”

It seems that he has known for a long time that there will be such a question, and as soon as the adjutant finished asking, Qi Zhiyuan said: "It seems that your kid still lacks strategic vision and has no overall concept. Although we are the first to face the enemy, we are attacked by the enemy. However, among the three combat battlefields, the pressure on our side is the least, followed by Zhuge Mou in the northwest, and Shi Mingzhi in the southeast is the most stressful. ”

Although he couldn't see the two adjutants looking at him, he seemed to be able to feel the confusion of the two, and felt that there was still a period of time before the target entered the attack position, Qi Zhiyuan continued: "After yesterday's war preparations, almost all the new cannons are concentrated in the westernmost part, that is, ours. As long as the cannon sounds, after a short battle, the enemy ships will immediately know that they are in a disadvantageous position, their cannons will not be able to hit us, only to be beaten, and in the end it will be impossible to storm us. ”

"As long as the commanders of the Blue Flag Gang are not stupid and feel that the situation on the battlefield is not in their favor, they will definitely flee with their warships, either to the south or to the north."

"And Zhuge Mou, who is guarding in the northwest, his warships are all old-fashioned, the remnants of the Black Flag Gang, and the captured by our attack on the Blue Flag Gang and the Yellow Flag Gang. Zhuge Mou's combat mission is a little different from ours, because the range of his cannon is similar to that of the enemy. ”

"Therefore, when the battle starts, his side must rely on cooperating with the batteries along the coast to strike at the enemy in order to hold on."

"As for Shi Mingzhi in the southwest, although he also has some new cannons. However, his situation is completely different from ours, and he is likely to face two enemies, several times his own, namely the nearest Red Flag Gang and the Blue Flag Gang. Moreover, the Red Flag Gang can send troops from Lantau Island and the New Territories at the same time, which is why Shi Mingzhi's pressure is the greatest and most dangerous? ”

"I see, Commander, I know why you gave such an order. As long as we eliminate some of the warships, whether it is Zhuge Staff or Shi Staff Officer, we can reduce their pressure! An adjutant looked suddenly enlightened and said quickly.

When the other adjutant was about to say something, Qi Zhiyuan's face suddenly changed, he was extremely solemn, and ordered in a deep voice: "Carry out artillery bombardment, pick up the largest warship for me to bombard!" ”

In an instant, the flag commander's hand raised and fell, constantly waving in the air, and the order was immediately issued, and the cannon roared in response, and hundreds of shells flew out and fell on the blue flag gang's warship formation in a parabolic trajectory.

As far as the eye could see, as the cannonballs fell, the warships of the Blue Flag Gang could no longer maintain a steady progress, and were immediately disrupted in formation, or swayed left and right, or were hit by cannonballs, lost their combat effectiveness, and stopped in place and circled.

The artillery along the coast is still bombarding, and since it is fixed, the hit rate of the shells is very high, and they rarely fall into the sea, and the Blue Flag gang is stunned at once!

The Blue Flag Gang was not a target, and immediately began to fight back, trying to drive the ship closer to the coast of Hong Kong Island. However, one after another shells fell on the beach, and they could not reach Hong Kong Island at all, let alone the various forts along the coast.

After less than ten minutes of fighting, the commander of the Blue Flag Gang discovered the situation and realized that the situation was not in favor of his side, his own artillery could not blow up the opponent's battery at all, and the artillery of the two sides was not at the same level at all. The ship's maneuverability advantage was gone, and the commanders of the Blue Flag Gang knew that if they continued like this, they would only be beaten passively.

The commander was very adaptable, only to realize that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered all ships to retreat and withdraw from the enemy's fire coverage.

Despite this, not long after the battle, the Blue Flag Gang still paid the price of dozens of large and small warships, and hundreds of casualties, which shows the tragic lesson and heavy losses. (To be continued.) )
