Ruilin has also been very troublesome these days, he has just been the governor of Liangguang for a short time, that is, a few months, and his ass has not yet been hot, and it has been reported that the ministers of the four countries have forced the imperial court to compensate together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Ruilin heard the news, a small drum beat in his heart, it is a foreigner again, this time it is the three powerful countries of the West! Last time, it was just the Anglo-French coalition army, and it was already beating the imperial court to the point that it couldn't hold its head up, this time there were three powerful countries, one more than last time, in addition to these three, and a small Japan was added, how could the imperial court withstand it?

As the southern gate of China, Guangzhou must be the most cutting-edge, this time Guangzhou is going to be unlucky, of course, the unlucky ones are themselves.

However, after all, Ruilin is a person who has led troops, and he is not completely a waste, at least he knows how to deploy defense, and in the whole of Guangdong, as long as the green battalion with a little combat effectiveness is all concentrated in Guangzhou City, and the head of Guangzhou City is also deployed with artillery, in addition, a patrol battalion has also been set up outside Guangzhou City to inform the enemy.

Today, Ruilin was drinking tea and reading at the governor's yamen, when the green battalion soldiers who patrolled should run in and shouted: "Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Governor, no, there are a large number of foreign warships coming from the Pearl River Estuary, and I am afraid that there will be dozens of them!" ”

"What!"

Ruilin had just taken a sip of tea, and the words of the green battalion soldier scared him so much that he almost choked to death with the tea, and all of them squirted out, coughing again and again, "cough, cough, cough...... order, order, all the troops in Guangzhou entered combat readiness...... Ahem! Defend it! Don't be provocative! Whoever comes, immediately follow the governor to the city of Guangzhou to inspect! ”

When Ruilin said this, he picked up his top and put it on his head, and followed the green battalion soldiers out of the governor's yamen and went straight to the head of Guangzhou!

Came to the top of the city, sure enough, more than ten kilometers away from the mouth of the Pearl River, one after another warships were waving their flags, and there were huge plumes of smoke in the chimneys, which were murderous, and the green battalion soldiers did not say much, there were dozens of warships alone, and if you added the troop carriers behind, I am afraid that there were more than 100 of them!

At this time, the French fleet had begun to approach the city of Guangzhou! The French fleet on this expedition consisted of three main battleships, and at the same time, the main battleships were equipped with gunboats, torpedo boats and small cruisers, with more than ten large and small ships! Lined up at the head of Guangzhou City, behind it is the troop carrier!

Ruilin couldn't stop trembling, I'm a mother! With so many warships and troop carriers, not to mention attacking Guangzhou, even if all Gyeonggi is occupied, it is absolutely not a problem!

Ruilin kept chanting the Buddha, hoping that the foreign fleet was just coming to play, Buddha blessed, don't start a war!

However, it backfired, in order to make the Qing government bow its head, the Triple Alliance Army had already made up its mind to attack!

Mozark had already prepared, seeing that he had arrived less than five kilometers away from Guangzhou City, Mozark gave an order, and the large and small warships were thrown into the war capital together!

Battleships, cruisers, gunboats! Together, there were more than a hundred artillery pieces, and at the same time, they launched a fierce artillery bombardment towards the city of Guangzhou!

Shells fell overwhelmingly towards the city of Guangzhou, like flying locusts!

"Boom, boom!"

Bursts of explosions continued to sound, and at that moment, the fireworks in Guangzhou City were soaring into the sky, and the smoke was filled!

Before the unfortunate Ruilin woke up, the cannonballs had already exploded, and the shock wave of the explosion almost lifted Ruilin off the city, and the flying stones were already in great pain!

Ruilin was shocked and roared angrily: "Hurry, hurry! Fight back, fight back! ”

At the head of the city of Guangzhou, a statue of artillery also began to exert its might, and launched an attack on your French fleet on the opposite side, however, it is obvious that the artillery fire of Guangzhou City has absolutely no way to compare with the French fleet, the smallest caliber of the artillery of the French fleet is 152mm artillery, the power is huge, the French army is known as the king of artillery, the artillery skills are unparalleled in the world, and the shell landing point is extremely accurate, where is the green battalion can compare?

Look at the artillery in Guangzhou City, the Tiger Cannon, the General, the Earth Cannon, the most powerful is only the newly purchased front-loading smoothbore gun from the foreigners, the gap is too big, the artillery equipped by the French army, at least 30 years more advanced than the artillery of the Qing Army!

It's just that the cannon is not allowed, and it can't be far! The farthest distance is no more than five kilometers, and the French fleet stays five kilometers away, and the artillery fire of the Qing army can only stare dryly, and there is no temper at all!

But the French fleet will not stare dryly, a shell continues to shoot down, the city of Guangzhou bombed into a miasma, the Qing army has dodged, Ruilin is even more frightened, only a few years have passed, the British and French artillery is more powerful, it is obvious that the power of these artillery is far greater than five years ago in the Tongzhou War!

The French army didn't care about this, and the shells kept flying up from the battleships and falling on the head of Guangzhou, unstoppable!

From noon to dusk, the French fleet fired thousands of shells at the city, blowing up the southern city of Guangzhou beyond recognition, and even razing the houses in the city to the ground!

In half a day, most of the artillery above the city was destroyed by the French fleet, and the casualties of the green battalion under Ruilin exceeded 3,000 people, under the huge threat of artillery, the green battalion retreated one after another, and withdrew from the position at the head of the city of Guangzhou.

Without stubborn resistance, the troop carriers behind the French fleet quickly docked and began to attack the city of Guangzhou, Mozak's goal was to take the city of Guangzhou, occupy Guangzhou, and in the future, from Vietnam to Guangzhou, it would be all the sphere of influence of the French Empire!

Six thousand French troops loaded with guns and ammunition, using the cover of the artillery behind, rushed into the city of Guangzhou in one go, the green battalion soldiers are still a few years ago equipment, broadswords and spears plus birds, guns, old weapons can not pose any threat to the French army at all!

Not long after Ruilin returned from the governor's yamen, his chief military officer Lut rushed in, "My lord, my lord, it's not good, we can't stand it, we can't stand it, the foreigners have already rushed into the city!" Run away, my lord! ”

Ruilin shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of! It's just a big deal! Fight, resist me! ”

Rumble!

Just as Ruilin was shouting, a cannonball fell into the courtyard of the governor's yamen, setting off a violent explosion, and even a big tree in the courtyard was blown up!

Ruilin's face turned green when he landed! Run! Run! Dead friends don't die poor! If you lose the city of Guangzhou, you will lose it, and if you lose your official position, you will lose your official position, but if you lose your head, you won't be able to eat anything!
