"General Mozak, are we going on the offensive like this? Then our losses will continue to rise! ”

The two battleships that were sunk were all Spanish, and Morenster, of course, was a little breathless, and opened his mouth to shout. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What can we do if we don't attack like this? A few years ago, the British and French forces occupied Tianjin, and they were the first to destroy the Dagukou Fort, and only by destroying the Dagukou Fort, we had hope! ”

Mozak didn't have a good airway.

What's more, the British are too cunning, and the Dagukou Fort is definitely the strongest fort in China! Fortunately, the Chinese do not have a navy, and if one navy were to attack at sea, the losses of the fleets of the two countries would be even greater!

"Bastard! Damn it! Dundas is too cunning, I knew this earlier, we might as well choose to attack Shandong, as long as we can land, with our 60,000 elites, it is not a problem to destroy the army! ”

Morenster groaned.

How did the two of them know that Dundas's setbacks were much more serious than the two of them, and even the battleships of the Imperial fleet had caused Weihaiwei to sink them!

"It's really impossible to continue attacking like this, otherwise, even if we forcibly capture the Dagukou Fort, we will have to lose a few warships, who knows if they still have artillery in the back?"

Mozark replied, "Morenster, the former when we launched the Battle of Dagukou, we had secretly landed from Beitang and launched a sea and land attack before taking Dagukou, this time we still adopted such tactics, you led your warships here to continue the frontal attack, attracting the idea of the Qing army, I led the fleet to make a detour through Beitang and forcibly landed from Beitang, directly attacking their backs, two phases of attack, they absolutely can't stop it!" ”

Morenster's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "With such a strategy, why don't you come up with it earlier?" It's hard for us to work so hard! ”

Mozak smiled bitterly: "What you said is light, the Qing army has already suffered a loss, can they defend Beitang without heavy troops?" How easy is it to get a smooth landing? Remember, attack with all your strength and attract the attention of the Qing army, I will make a detour to Beitang now! ”

Mozak led six gunboats and a battleship escorted six troop transports and rushed towards Beitang!

When I came to Beitang, it was already early in the morning.

I saw a watchtower standing tall, and a group of Qing troops patrolling in rotation on the watchtower, with tall lanterns.

A few years ago, the Qing army was attacked by the British and French forces in Beitang, and the lessons from the past will definitely not be indifferent, not to mention that it is Zeng Guofan who is deploying defense now?

In Beitang, the Qing army did not deploy a lot of troops, only two infantry battalions, plus an artillery team, and four artillery pieces below.

However, there is no way, the attack of the Franco-Spanish fleet is too fierce, from noon to night, the onslaught is not stopped, even if there are redundant troops, now Pan Dingxin does not dare to put it elsewhere, almost all the troops are pressed in Dagukou, stubbornly defending the Dagukou fort, thinking that the British and French forces will not divide their forces to attack elsewhere.

A small error in judgment brought a catastrophe to the Qing army.

The Qing army stationed two battalions of troops in Beitang, which seemed to have a lot of troops, but the French army came more, and Bazin alone led the 20,000 troops in front of him to forcibly launch the landing.

"Brother, look!"

Suddenly, the Qing army on the watchtower rubbed his eyes fiercely, and the other hand pushed the Qing army next to him fiercely!

"What's wrong?"

The other Qing army was a little sleepy-eyed, and most of the night was when he was sleepy.

"Warships, warships! It's a foreigner's warship! There is an enemy! Quick, signal now! ”

The Qing army roared.

Another Qing soldier came to his senses and hurriedly looked, and sure enough, a group of warships were rapidly approaching Beitang!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Fast! ”

The Qing army roared as they fired their guns into the mid-sky victory, and the quiet sky caused a terrible sound of gunfire.

Not far away, the two Huai military camps woke up at the time, and the two pipe bands didn't care about their carelessness at this time, and lay down in their clothes, when they suddenly heard the warning gunshots, jumped out of the tent, and shouted angrily: "What's the matter!" Where did the gunshots come from! ”

"Watchtower! It's a warning from the watchtower! ”

Outside the tent, a sentry hurriedly said urgently.

The faces of the two pipe bands changed greatly, and they shouted angrily: "Order, everyone is ready to fight immediately!" Get ready for battle! Fast! ”

It's just that no matter how fast the two infantry battalions are at this time, can they be as fast as the French army on the opposite side?

The French army rode the battleship all the way to chop the waves, quickly approaching Beitang, when there were still seven or eight miles away from Beitang, the artillery on the battleship had begun to rise, a cannon, let out a huge roar, one by one cannons sprayed out of the muzzle!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Before the Qing army had time to assemble, the French artillery shells had already fallen on the positions of the Qing army, and in an instant, the battle was raging, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the Qing army was caught off guard by the sudden white-haired cannonballs, and was so frightened that they were scurrying around!

"Don't mess up, don't mess around, immediately prepare to fight back! Return fire, artillery, artillery, return fire! ”

Guo Cong was so anxious that he jumped and kept shouting angrily.

However, it didn't work at all, although these Huai troops had good combat power, they had never seen such fierce artillery fire after all, let alone a sudden attack? Three or four waves of artillery shells, more than 300 shells, fell on the position one after another, but in a few minutes, the fighting spirit of the two infantry battalions was completely destroyed by the fierce artillery fire, and they couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts at all, and the two infantry battalions were completely chaotic, even if Guo Cong worked hard, it was useless!

Just when the Huai army was in a panic, the French army launched a landing operation towards Beitang under the cover of artillery fire, and a group of French troops quickly landed on the coast of Beitang in small boats, not only people came up, but the infantry guns behind were also quickly transported!

In less than an hour, the two reorganized regiments had already been sent to the coast, and the French officers and men did not even stop and launched a direct charge towards the Huai army!

Two regiments against two battalions of the Huai Army, even the Huai Army is still not the opponent of the two regiments, the French Army is known as the king of the army, where is the current Huai Army can resist? This momentum alone has completely defeated the Huai Army!

Looking at the dense French soldiers, Guo Cong's face changed drastically, so many foreign devils! There are more than 3,000 people!

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

Guo Cong's courage was frightened, he only had a total of about 1,000 people, and in the face of at least three times the strength of his own, it was completely crushing rhythm! (To be continued.) )
