In the study room of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, the teacup placed on the coffee table had already been smashed by Liu Kunyi, who had a long white beard on his face. Even the membrane inkstone and brush on one side also suffered, and was broken by Liu Kun for seven minutes, and threw it on the ground, as for the telegram, Liu Kun had already torn it to pieces, and it was flying in the study like a scattered flower.

"Liu Jun is a sinister villain, despicable." Liu Kun, who was out of breath, looked at the scraps of paper flying in the sky, slapped the table angrily and shouted again.

The general officers on the side widened their eyes one by one, and they didn't dare to answer, after all, this matter, whoever goes up now will lie down. He could only tilt his head and look at Liu Kunyi who was sitting on the chair in a panic.

Where does Liu Kunyi have no reason not to hate, the Liaodong thieves in Fuzhou entered seven or eight prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, and they did not transfer Jiangsu's troops. is afraid that the Liaodong thieves stationed in Linyi will go south.

I can endure it, but the front line can't bear it, Zhejiang four or five telegrams a day to urge reinforcements, and I really have no troops to adjust, knowing that after I mobilized the troops in Wuxi, Jiangsu, to the south, Shandong's troops did not have any movement.

After adding the words of the staff, he mobilized the Jiangsu troops by himself. Who knew that as soon as the Jiangsu troops left on the front foot, the Liaodong thieves rushed up behind.

Now Jiangsu's troops are weak, how is this good.

Moreover, a telegram was also sent from Hangzhou, and the Beiyang Naval Division appeared, all of which showed that Liu Jun landed in Hangzhou and then cut off Zhejiang from himself.

Shameful and hateful.

"My lord, should we do this now?" Seeing that Liu Kun had finally recovered his ordinary face, a general stepped forward and asked cautiously.

What to do, his main territory is Anhui, Jiangsu, and as for Zhejiang, it is temporarily managed by himself, and some officials and troops in Zhejiang do not obey their own dispatch. This made Liu Kun not bothered. Now its own Jiangsu is threatened. There is no need to throw the main force in Zhejiang.

Liu Kunyi, who closed his eyes, clenched his fists: "Order, reinforcements from all over the country immediately retreat to support Jiangsu." ”

Supporting Jiangsu, the generals standing on the side suddenly raised their heads in confusion and returned to help Jiangsu, so what should Zhejiang do?

Hangzhou Bay, Qing Army Fort. Luo Wenquan, the defender of the fort, stood motionless on the fort and looked at the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division that were swimming on the sea in the distance.

Behind them, the Qing army of the battery was busy pushing the shells and gunpowder stored in the warehouse out of the warehouse and then carrying them to the battery. And busy reloading shells.

"Direction Eight." Putting down Wang Yuanji, Luo Wenquan, who graduated from Tianjin Wubei Academy at the age of thirty-two, quietly gave an order.

With a creak, the huge turret began to turn, aiming the huge muzzle at the Beiyang Naval Division in the distance.

"Your Excellency, can't you fire?" The general on the side rushed up at once and held down Luo Wenquan.

At present, although the seven or eight warships of the Beiyang Naval Division are swimming on the sea, the Beiyang Naval Division has not yet opened fire after all, but once the artillery is fired here, the battery will have more than a dozen artillery pieces, which can block the huge warships of other people, which is almost impossible.

"Don't worry, this official won't be the first to fire." Luo Wenquan looked at the anxious screams around him lightly.

He also knew that once the fire was fired, it would be impossible for the Hangzhou Bay Fort to resist the landing of the Beiyang Naval Division. But he is a court general. Nor can the batteries be abandoned.

Therefore, he, now he can only take precautions and aim his guns at the Beiyang Naval Division.

On the bridge of the armored cruiser Yin Sen of the Beiyang Naval Division, Lin Guoxiang, who was in command of the landing, stood quietly on the bridge and observed the situation of the battery in the distance with a telescope.

"Do death." With a cold snort, Lin Guoxiang came out with two words. He saw that the Qing army battery in the distance was actually turning the muzzle of the gun and aiming it at himself.

With his mantis arm in the car and putting down his binoculars, Lin Guoxiang took a look at the yellow dragon flag that was being blown by the sea breeze, and then gave an order loudly: "All ships are ready, so the artillery, aim at the battery." ”

The three armored cruisers, as well as the two torpedo cruisers, suddenly showed their gloomy muzzles, aiming not only their huge main guns at the batteries, but also at the turrets with large and small rapid-fire guns on the side chords, and loading them with running shells, waiting for orders.

"Give the order to the battery, and if you don't surrender after an hour, you will bear the consequences." Confidence is different, Lin Guoxiang triumphantly pointed to the distant fort. A faint command was given.

"My lord, they're giving out the flag." The signalmen standing at the observation point put down the telescope in their hands and reported loudly.

Luo Wenquan, who was sitting on the stone, did not look back, but the general on the side turned his head: "What did you say?" ”

"My lord, they say, do not surrender after an hour...... No surrender after an hour. ”

"Say." Luo Wenquan finally spoke up.

"They say that if you don't surrender after an hour, you will bear the consequences.

At your own risk, this is an ultimatum, Luo Wenquan frowned, turned his head and looked at the defenders around him, now the defenders have loaded the shells and are ready to give orders at any time.

The Beiyang Naval Division is a moving object, and it is easy to move an object to hit a fixed target, but it may be somewhat difficult to let a fixed battery attack the Naval Division.

What should I do, Luo Wenquan closed his eyes, resisted, the defenders of the fort would be destroyed in one fell swoop, if he didn't resist, how could he be worthy of the court and the emperor.

"How much time is left?" On the Yin Sen, Lin Guoxiang looked at the Qing army fort in the distance and still did not send any news, so he could only helplessly ask the first mate on the side after walking around on the deck.

"Commander, there's five minutes left." The first mate looked at the time and stepped forward to the lake.

It seems that he doesn't give face, and when he heard that there were still five minutes, Lin Guoxiang frowned.

The order I received was to quickly cover the landing of the army in Hangzhou and assist the army in capturing Hangzhou, and now, I have been here for nearly five hours, which is absolutely not allowed.

"Raise the flag and let the transport ship stay three nautical miles behind." It is estimated that Lin Guoxiang, who will not surrender, began to order the transport ship to come to the rear, and the province will be injured after a fight.

"Commander, it's time." The first mate replied firmly.

With a snort, Lin Guoxiang pulled out the saber hanging from his waist. At once, he pointed the tip of his knife at the distant battery: "All ships are aimed at the battery." Fire. ”

Boom.

The two guns on board the Shade Mori suddenly emitted orange flames and white smoke.

With a bang, a huge fire and smoke suddenly burst out of the distant battery.

The opening of fire was the signal, and in an instant, warships large and small began to fire shells at the distant battery.

With a bang, fifty meters away from the Yin Sen, a column of water more than ten meters high rose into the sky.

"Okay, there is a kind of dare to fight back." After Lin Guoxiang shouted, he jumped like thunder on the bridge.

"Destroy Lao Tzu." Lin Guoxiang scolded his mother for the first time.

"My lord, Fort 3 has been destroyed." On the Hangzhou Bay Fort, the general whose face was smoked into ashes ran to Luo Wenquan in a panic and reported anxiously.

What the? Luo Wenquan turned his head in surprise, less than an hour after the start of the war, the two 150-mm guns on his No. 3 battery were destroyed, and now, he only had shells hit the deck of the command ship of the Beiyang Naval Division according to the law, and it seemed that he had not suffered any damage at all.

"My lord, withdraw it. It's too late if you don't withdraw. The general pleaded bitterly.

"Shut up, I'm talking about withdrawing, I'll kill you." Luo Wenquan viciously held the saber in his hand. Stared at the general in front of him and said that he was running.

The general was so frightened that he ran down in a panic and began to direct the defenders of the fort to meet the battle.

However, there were only a dozen guns on the battery, and it was not very strong when it was built, and it took less than two hours to be bombarded by three armored cruisers of the Beiyang Naval Division and torpedo cruisers. The artillery of the Hangzhou Bay Fort was immediately beaten and disappeared.

Seeing that the artillery fire of the battery in the distance had decreased, Lin Guoxiang, who had been on the Yinsen, suddenly put down his binoculars: "Order, all ships arrive and shoot." ”
