Chapter 207 - Li Hongzhang

Don't subscribe anymore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info do not order. Do not order. Say the important thing three times!

Originally, I didn't want to say this sentence because of the book shortage, but after all, there are twelve book friends who have ordered this book, so there are still some things to say.

This book was originally intended to be completed in 1 million words, but now there are still 30,000 words left, plus there are more than 200,000 words of manuscript on the new book, so there is plenty of time for book shortage.

But with the manuscript of more than 200,000 words being greatly and completely denied by the editor!

This blow directly made the book famine depressed for two or three days, and you have also seen that the updates in the past two days are not powerful, and that is because the book famine is going all out to write new books, as for the old books!

The old book is all running accounts, and even meaningless words, just to make up these 30,000 words and complete the book with 1 million words!

Therefore, the next 30,000 words, there is a shortage of books, and I don't want to pit your starting point coins anymore, so you should treat this book as the end of it, and it can be regarded as unfinished!

"I'm Sorry"

saw through the reality on Chongming Island.

Zhang Yun didn't stop Zheng Qiushan's plan anymore, the 24 380 mm naval guns on the two steel battleships, if they couldn't blow up this kind of cargo battery on Chongming Island!

Then does Zheng Qiushan still need to be the commander of the navy?

After getting Zhang Yun's tacit approval, Zheng Qiushan ordered on the spot that the two steel warships should move forward and give them a group of Manchu minions to have a cannon with bayonets, so that they could taste the power of the giant cannon.

Anyway, with the solid iron bullets of those front-loading guns, even if they hit the steel battleship, the weakest part of the battleship has armor tens of millimeters thick, and it is impossible to cause any damage to the steel battleship!

And seeing that two steel battleships came to the sea, the commander of the battery on the shore was not ambiguous, and directly let his subordinates open fire......

It's a pity that Zhang Yun wanted to laugh when he saw it, just with their so-called front-loading smoothbore guns, they fired from such a distance, and all the shells didn't all hit the sea, at most there was a wave, and it would complete its mission.

Thinking of the end of the Ming Dynasty, those Ming soldiers, facing the original wild boar skin and holding muskets, I am afraid that they also fought like this...... Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness!

Could it be that every dynasty that comes to the end of its life will show such a state of decay?

The Manchu minions on the opposite side did not know anything about artillery, that is, they did not understand the maximum range and effective range of artillery......

Of course, for all this, Zhang Yun will not sympathize with them, at this time in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the imperial court has rotted from the root to the top.

Even if there is any so-called holy monarch, he has no way to reverse the general trend, and can only drag the country and the nation step by step into the abyss.

So to overthrow the Manchu Qing at this time, it should really be everyone's responsibility!

Zheng Qiushan was jumping up and down at this time, commanding the twelve main guns of the two steel battleships to load, according to Zheng Qiushan's calculations, from the shore to this small battery, at most a salvo of the main guns, it could be erased from this world.

When all the shells were loaded, Zheng Qiushan first ordered one artillery to be test-fired, and the other artillery guns repaired their own firing elements according to the impact point......

"Boom!"

An unprecedented loud bang exploded 100 meters next to the Qing army battery, and its power was so huge that even the soldiers standing on the Qing army's open-air battery 100 meters away were directly blown into the sky by the air waves.

The people who were far away were also staggering, and at the same time, everyone's ears almost lost their voices at this moment, and everyone's faces were full of horror!

At the same time, a huge question arose in my mind, 'Artillery shouldn't be like this......

Although this cannon missed, it at least proved that the previously adjusted shooting elements did not deviate greatly, so after a slight adjustment.

The two steel battleships immediately launched a salvo, and 23 naval artillery shells weighing about a ton exploded on the left and right of the Manchu batteries.

"Boom ......"

A series of loud noises instantly sent the Manchu artillerymen who had not reacted before to meet their Manchu ancestors!

After solving the fort, the troop carriers behind them began to dock unscrupulously and quickly occupied Chongming Island, which laid a foundation in Songjiang Mansion.

At the same time, the main force on land had already captured Anhui and Zhejiang in two ways, and surrounded Shanghai County and even the entire Songjiang Prefecture.

The only way to retreat is to retreat to the north of Jiangsu, but it is also necessary to be in Zuo Zongtang in Shandong, willing to go south to Jiangsu to meet him!

The war has come to this point, to be honest, it was very unexpected by Li Hongzhang, the artillery of the Patriotic Army is very powerful, Li Hongzhang knows this in his heart, but he didn't expect that he has not seen it for a few years, and the artillery of the Patriotic Army is even more powerful!

The dozens of cities along the route of Zhejiang and Anhui did not have a plan to hinder the footsteps of the Patriotic Army, which disrupted many of Li Hongzhang's plans, and even the overall situation.

In addition, the Patriotic Army no longer uses Mauser 98K rifles, and the newly equipped semi-automatic rifles have also made Li Hongzhang's army suffer enough!

What's even more terrifying is that the troops of the Patriotic Army are equipped with so many repeating guns, which is the most unexpected thing for Li Hongzhang!

Originally, although he knew that Zhang Yun was very powerful, Li Hongzhang thought that he had 100,000 iron horses in his hand, even if he couldn't win against Zhang Yun in the end, he could compare himself with Zhang Yun well......

But 100,000 iron cavalry, after encountering that kind of repeating guns, Li Hongzhang was depressed to find that the era of the original cavalry has really passed!

I still think of the hundreds of tongues of fire that suddenly appeared from Zhang Yun's position when 100,000 iron cavalry rushed towards Zhang Yun's infantry......

In just a short period of half a burnt incense, the 100,000 iron cavalry had already lost a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, and the remaining cavalry was also frightened, and they no longer dared to launch any attack on Zhang Yun's infantry, so Anhui and Zhejiang were lost so quickly......

At this moment, in a short period of time, it was as if Li Hongzhang, who was more than ten years old, sitting in the Shanghai County Ya, completely falling into a state of sadness, holding his head with both hands, but he didn't know what to do!

At this time, there was a sudden voice at the gate of the county office, "Report!" ”

Li Hongzhang raised his head instantly, and hurriedly ordered the small soldiers who were carrying the message to enter the lobby left and right.

After the little soldier came in, he immediately knelt down and said: "Lord Qiyu Zhongtang, the little one was stopped by Lord Zuo when he passed through Shandong on the way to the capital, and the little one had no choice but to show the letter for help that you wrote to the imperial court, Lord Zuo!" ”

"As a result, after Lord Zuo read it, he didn't let the little one continue to go north to the capital, but immediately wrote a letter, don't take the little one and return the same way immediately, and send it to Lord Zhongtang......"

Li Hongzhang hurriedly took the letter from Zuo Zongtang handed over by his subordinates, and when he unfolded it, Li Hongzhang, who was originally full of gloom and death, instantly regained his vitality.

According to Zuo Zongtang, the only bit of troops in the imperial court has been sent to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo to entangle with Zhang Yun's partial division!

However, Zuo Zongtang said that he would definitely lead his troops south and come to Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture to rescue himself.

Because in the letter, Zuo Zongtang also said very clearly, without it, it is just the sentence that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!

Without Li Hongzhang's hundreds of thousands of troops, what can Zuo Zongtang do?
