Chapter 337: It's Time to Grab Battle Merits!

Not to mention Changlin, even if it is a cadre and a general civil and military, all of them are full of disbelief written on their faces, and some people even think that Liang Pengfei is not lying about the military situation, and then playing a trick of using the people's heads to calculate the military exploits.

However, Wang Shouli, who knew Liang Pengfei's ability, stood up and said, thinking that no matter what, it was always necessary to see what he saw, since he had waited for a long time, he had not seen those British warships approaching Guangzhou, maybe he was really blocked by Liang Pengfei.

At that moment, Changlin simply arranged for the personnel to stay in Guangzhou, ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to the Tiger Gate with a group of water and land generals. When they arrived at Humen, when they saw the tall and majestic British warships that were still on the Pearl River waterway, but had been damaged, they were convinced that Liang Pengfei was not lying. And when they rushed to the Shajiao Fort where Liang Pengfei was and saw the prisoners of war who had been disarmed, they finally completely relieved themselves.

However, it is precisely because of this that Changlin has to be secretly frightened, Liang Pengfei is really capable enough, with the strength of a town of sailors, relying on the Humen Fort, not only repelled the huge British fleet, destroyed and damaged seven enemy ships (there are also those who ran, of course, there is no way to count), but also slaughtered nearly 1,000 British and captured nearly 2,000 people.

"No wonder, in the past, before leaving Beijing, the governor had visited General He and General Fu, and the two generals strongly recommended Liang Zongbing to the Governor. Changlin stroked the long beard and said with some emotion.

"Your Excellency praised, in fact, the end will be able to achieve some small achievements, not that all the people in my Guangdong Navy Division will work together, and you will have the support of the governor, otherwise, how can the end of the army be able to repair the Humen Fort in such a short time, and rely on this to defend the country? ......" Liang Pengfei's mouth was crooked, and almost everyone was scraped in, meritorious service, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among colleagues if you eat alone, anyway, it is yourself who guards the tiger gate, and the first credit for rejecting the enemy from the country must be your own, and other credits, how can you also share a point, so that everyone can drink and drink soup, and everyone is happy.

"This guy is still so good at being a man." Wang Shouli next to him was already smiling, but he admired Liang Pengfei for still being able to maintain a normal heart at this time, it was really reassuring to have such a subordinate.

"Yingyi was defeated by the Liang General Army this time and fled, the Governor, the last general thinks that it is the best policy to take this opportunity to pursue the victory while he is victorious." At this time, Pu Zhigao, the chief soldier of the Jieshi Town Water Division, stood up at this time, his face was heroic and majestic, and his voice was so high.

--------------------

As soon as he said this, the generals invited to fight one after another, and even those land generals all jumped out, and the mouths of one or two were so big that they couldn't be boundless, and some even suggested simply hitting the British lair.

The muscles on Liang Pengfei's face were a little stiff, mainly to control his urge to laugh wildly, these guys really treat the British as water dogs, are they so easy to beat? If that's the case, why would you bother to play so many intrigues in the first battle of Humen?

"Brother, how's it going?" Wang Shouli, as the chief general of the water division, wanted to jump out and echo, but when he saw that the expression of Liang Pengfei, the hero of this battle, was a little strange, he immediately came over and asked Liang Pengfei in a low voice.

"What can I say at this time? Say that the British are very strong, we had better not start the idea of pursuit, so as not to let the other party swallow us, you say, if I really say this, can these brothers be happy? Maybe I'll be a brother, I'm afraid they'll rob me of my credit. Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows slightly, and said a wry smile in a low voice to Wang Shouli.

"This is also ......" Wang Shouli took off his cool hat with his big hand and touched his smooth scalp: "Then what should I do?" ”

"How do I know?" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes, and at this time, his heart also came up, Changlin turned his head to look at Liang Pengfei and said warmly: "Liang Zongbing, what do you think?" ”

"Everything depends on the decision of the Governor, but the last general thinks that Yingyi has suffered a slight setback in confidence when he first loses, and then the last general is still in a strict formation when he sees his fleet retreating, although it is not chaotic, so ......" Liang Pengfei did not go on, because, although he said this quite tactfully, but those generals who were eager for meritorious service stared at Liang Pengfei one by one, and their expressions were very unkind.

Changlin stroked his long beard but nodded in agreement with Liang Pengfei's words, after this battle, although Liang Pengfei was relying on the fort to defend it, he still fought face-to-face with Yingyi's army, and Liang Pengfei's department was only about 5,000, but he captured nearly 2,000 of the other party, slaughtered more than 1,000, and had more than 100 casualties, what does this mean? can only show one thing, in addition to the excellent terrain, presumably these British are also afraid of death.

Otherwise, why didn't the battleship of the other side be trapped and not rescued, and the soldiers let Liang Pengfei be captured. Naturally, there is only one explanation for this, and the other party seems to be a bully who is afraid of the hard.

Not only Changlin thought so, but also the generals present thought so, Guangzhou General Fuchang thought about it, and also stood up and said in the fun: "Governor Chang, in order to prevent Yingyi from attacking my Guangzhou, the water divisions of all towns have already dispatched the elite of the sailors in the waters of the Pearl River, and Yingyi came from thousands of miles away, and the expedition of the division was originally a taboo in the art of war, and now it has been severely defeated by the general army of Liang, and the morale will inevitably plummet. ”

"Well, what the generals said is also very reasonable." Changlin nodded, then thought about it, and turned his face to look at Wang Shouli who was standing beside Liang Pengfei. "Admiral Wang, this governor wants to make the sailor take advantage of the victory to attack, I don't know what Admiral Wang wants?"

"This ...... Your Excellency the Governor has the power of the Governor and the military administration of Guangdong, and will ultimately leave everything to the Governor's command. "Wang Shouli, this guy is also very old and cunning, don't like you, tell you directly, you boss, what do you want to do, anyway, don't want to make Admiral Ben responsible.

"It's all slippery guys." Changlin couldn't help but curse in his heart. turned his eyes to Liang Pengfei's body, but at this time, Pu Zhigao, the chief soldier of the Jieshi Town Water Division, stood up first and interjected: "Lord Governor, the last general thinks that General Liang has been fighting hard for a long time, his subordinates are tired, and he needs to take care of prisoners of war, so it is really not easy to get out lightly, and I also ask the Lord Governor to give an order, I am willing to die for the Lord Governor!" Speaking of this, Pu Zhigao also handed Liang Pengfei an apologetic look, which means that you, Mr. Liang, have earned enough credit, so don't rob us with our brothers this time.

--------------------

"I will die for the Governor." The generals of the Sailor Division shouted in unison. The expressions of the two of them were so impassioned, and at this moment, they forgot all the disadvantages and matters that they had compiled and sorted out in order to be able to fight without going to sea.

At this moment, they are like a group of the bravest people, who have no conditions to create conditions to fight with the British, even if they can't catch up with the British's fleet, they can proudly swing the spectrum of the Celestial Dynasty Sailor outside the Pearl River Estuary, so that those Westerners know that the British are afraid and driven out of the Pearl River Estuary.

"A bunch of stupid b, serve to death, Lao Tzu sees that you are in a hurry to die." Liang Pengfei pouted secretly, but on the surface, there was no show of it, and Pu Zhigao happened to fall into his arms by doing this.

Changlin's face was happy, these sailor generals finally had the appearance of a little soldier. "Since this is the case, the governor ordered you and others to rush back to the garrison immediately, with Pu Zhigao, the chief soldier of the Jieshi Town Water Division, as the main general, and the army went straight out of the mouth of the Pearl River, annihilated Yingyi, and raised the prestige of our Heavenly Empire."

"The last general obeys!" Yiganren and the others agreed loudly with joy on their faces, and even some of them didn't care to say goodbye to their colleagues anymore, and hurriedly walked towards their respective mounts, hoping to get to their fleet station a moment earlier, so that they could make military achievements earlier.

"Mr. Liang, this governor will keep you down, I hope you don't have other ideas, after all, Mr. Pu is also reasonable." Changlin walked up to Liang Pengfei at this time, patted Liang Pengfei's shoulder very kindly, and said with a pleasant face. "Today's battle, the soldiers in Humen Town are already tired, so let's stay and rest. How is it? ”

"The last general obeys the order, but if most of my sailors swarm out, they will definitely defend the emptiness, then the end will stay and continue to stick to the Humen Fort for the help of my sailors, which is also good." Liang Pengfei thought about it for a long time with an embarrassed look, and finally agreed with a twist.

Hearing Liang Pengfei say this, even Changlin, the governor who has been in the officialdom for a long time and has a face that has almost caught up with the iron wall, can't help but blush slightly, and stretched out his hand to help Liang Pengfei, who was saluting, and said gently: "In this way, the heavy responsibility of Humen is entrusted to Liang Zongbing, and once this battle is over, this governor will truthfully report the experience of this battle to the emperor, and Liang's first merit will be in front of the ranks." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness." Liang Pengfei replied respectfully, anyway, no one can erase this credit.

"General Liang, wait for us to rest in your chief soldier's yamen, and wait for the good news of General Pu and others." Wang Shouli walked over at this time and said with a smile.

"That's nature, ladies and gentlemen, please." Liang Pengfei led all these officials to his general yamen, but he left Wu Qianjin and others behind and secretly told him that they must be strictly guarded against and not be careless.

"Those guys really hit the British warship, what do you think will happen?" Looking at the backs of Liang Pengfei and the others, Sun Shijie asked with a smile to Ni Ming.

"What else? First, he turned around and ran back directly, second, let the British flee back in embarrassment, and third, he didn't even have a chance to come back. Ni Ming raised his eyebrows and sneered gloomily.
