And the smaller wooden boats that were more robbed were far less lucky. They simply could not withstand the direct close contact of any shell, and the moment the explosion sounded, they were already shattered.

On the two coastal forts, Beishan and Sacrificial Tower, each lit a fire that symbolized that the fort had been completely controlled, and the blazing fire illuminated the undulating mountains shrouded in night.

The two groups of ships of the main fleet of the Red Navy pierced the night like two sharp knives and approached Liugong Island at high speed.

After a day's joint attack from the south bank batteries and the artillery regiment of the Red First Army, the few remaining Tsarist Russian shore guns on the north and south batteries of Liugong Island rushed to the battle in the face of the sudden opponent, but the fire of the guns flashed, and they immediately became the target of the left flank fleet of the Red Navy, and they were immediately drowned in rows of fierce artillery fire.

While the left wing was doing the final and thorough cleaning of Liugong Island, the right wing led by the "Humen" approached Liugong Island, and then quickly turned right to complete the blockade of the north entrance.

Facing the dense group of Tsarist Russian warships huddled in the military port, Xu Zongyang excitedly held his hands with binoculars and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Shoot a few rows of artillery and remind them that we are coming." He turned his head to look at Ma Hanwei, the captain of the "Humen" who also couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Yes!" The telescope in Ma Hanwei's hand pointed forward, revealing two rows of white teeth, "I saw that damn Tsaritsyn, hehe, I should use cannonballs to warm his cold ass that has been soaked in the sea, I hope his flesh is not too tender, it will break when it is scraped." ”

In fact, without anyone reminding him, General Barushka had already seen everything clearly, and because of this, his nerves were almost on the verge of collapse. In a cold sweat, he had just used the intensive artillery fire of the entire fleet to build a barrier for himself in the south, and for the time being, it seemed that he had organized the terrifying torpedo attack of the Taiping Red Army, and the scene on the pier on the west side made him break out in a cold sweat.

The chaotic situation on the dock made it immediately clear to him that Dasamov was already beginning to abandon the last defense of the Weihai Acropolis. He really didn't expect that Dasamov's will would be so weak, and he didn't expect that this general Dasamov would completely lose the kind of tenacious perseverance that he should have as a knight.

He knew what Dasamov was thinking, but he just wanted to run to the ship and then run out of Weihai. What a pig, is it safe for you to run here? The current Third Fleet is no longer what it used to be, without the help of the wind, it is more like a mad dog with a broken leg, what else can it do except lie there and bark unwillingly and lifelessly? At such a critical moment, if the land barrier of Weihai Acropolis was lost again, wouldn't it be equivalent to pushing his entire fleet into the abyss. He never imagined that this damn Dasamov would be so ignorant, so irresponsible, and so ......

Annoyed, Barushka ordered a captain to go to the pier in a small boat at once, trying to put a strict stop to this irrational vile behavior of Dasamov, and roared at the captain that if Dasamov insisted on going his way, he would personally send the shameless general to his God.

Dasamov did not receive the so-called strict order from Barushka, and even if he did, he might not be willing to return to the purgatory behind him. When honor and survival are placed together at the same time, and you can only choose one or the other, how many people would rather give up their own survival?

The captain who gave the order, together with the boat, was reduced to pieces in the rapid fire of the artillery regiment of the 1st Red Army. Still, it seems that Barushka should be grateful to the opponent he has never had a chance to meet, Lai Yuxin, who is sitting in the south of the city and "grumbling", for helping him stop Dasamov in time. Unfortunately, the chaos on the docks has intensified.

Balushka sweated again. Because, as long as the artillery fire of the Taiping Red Army stretched a few hundred yards, his fleet would suffer.

It was really impossible to escape the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, and he was secretly glad that he was not hit by land artillery fire from the south, but in the end he could not escape the blow of the north shore battery, which had been completely lost as a matter of course. The artillery slogans of the batteries on the north shore, which were close to the fleet he was hiding in a corner of the military port, were pointed at them without mercy. Most of the ships had to abandon the artillery blockade to the south and participate in the confrontation with the batteries on the north shore, after all, this threat was more realistic.

It doesn't seem too much to say that it is a leak in the house, or that it is rainy, or that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it, or breaking the drum and hammering ten thousand people, no matter what, it seems that it is not too much, for Barushka, he really experienced the feeling of being completely abandoned by fate today.

He ran back to the podium and turned around several times, not knowing where to look or not to look at anywhere, in short, it was useless to look anywhere. He raised his head like a hot-eyed wild dog in a dog day, his mouth wide open and panting, as if he wanted to use the breath from his mouth to blow the damned sails that were still indifferent in the wide expanse he had encountered, and to drive the warship beneath his feet. At this juncture, the flames that erupted on Liugong Island brought him into the final despair.

Sure enough, as he expected, the fleet of the Taiping Red Army really didn't leave any way to live for themselves, they poured out this time, and actually blocked the north entrance of the military port, Barushka couldn't even shed a cold sweat this time, his sweat had already run out, and the rest of his body was goosebumps.

Another warship caught fire and sank, and Barushka did not dare to open his eyes. Suddenly, he felt the battleship under his feet finally move, but the truth told him that it was not the sea breeze that he was looking forward to shaking, but a row of cannonballs that happened to hit the stern of his battleship......

Gradually, on both sides of Weihaiwei and on the sea, the sound of artillery fell. First the Red Navy stopped shelling, then the batteries on both sides of the strait, and then the Third Fleet, which was still in the gray form of the Tsarist Russian Dispatch Force in China, fell into a moment of calm on the battlefield that had just been under fire and almost reddened the entire sky.

"Your Excellency, Commander, they are forcing us to choose." The new captain of the "Tsaritsyn", Major Bubony, who was ordered to be in danger but was always in a state of dazing and paralyzed, was very sober at this time. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of sorrow and pleading as he looked at his Excellency the Commander.

To live, or to die? The Red Army of the Celestial Empire did give this necessary choice to the aggressors themselves, who would not have been wronged by Tsarist Russia, even if they immediately went to the grave.
