"Pass! Open! "There was a dull sound of cannons on the river, and everyone looked up, unlike the Hongyi cannon with a large firing elevation angle and good eyesight to capture the trajectory of the cannonball, the cannon fired at a small elevation angle, the trajectory was low and flat, and it could even shoot directly, coupled with the blocking of the city wall in front, without any warning, there was a piercing sound of breaking the air in the ears!

"Boom!" Everyone heard it clearly, it was not the impact of a solid projectile hitting the target, but an explosion similar to a grenade, except that it was more intense and shaking!

I saw that with the light of the fire, the masonry on the city wall was lifted, scattered and scattered, and fell to the ground with a bang, although a round of shooting did not collapse the city wall, but several rounds in succession, there were penetrating gaps of different sizes on the city wall, through the gaps, you can use binoculars to vaguely see the thick cannon barrels that spit out tongues of fire on the river surface in the distance, obviously, it is only a matter of time before the city wall completely collapses.

"Oh my mother!" Li Erhu was stunned and shouted: "The foreigner's artillery is so sharp, and it is thanks to the commander that you reminded me as soon as possible!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao took it over with concern: "Wang Feng, if the British have enough ammunition, wouldn't Baoshan City be razed to the ground?" And he is on the river, we don't even have a chance to fight back, how can we fight? ”

The soldiers also have the same worries, and their will can't help but be a little depressed, this kind of non-contact war is completely asymmetrical one-sided, and in front of long-range artillery, flesh and blood are so fragile!

Wang Feng suddenly swept his eyes and shouted, "Everyone is scared, isn't it?" To be honest, I'm also afraid, but the British's cannon has a distance limit, and hitting the city wall is already the limit, and his cannon is too bulky to be disassembled and transported to land for use, if you want to attack the city, you have to rely on the Qing army, let's not relax, when the city wall completely collapses, it is estimated that the Qing army should go up! Li Erhu, distribute the grenades and let him eat our pot! ”

"Yes!" Li Erhu left the improvised bunker with a cat.

The shelling continued, the scope of the collapse of the city wall was getting bigger and bigger, Wen Xian and the others were on the dock, watching this spectacular scene, especially Xu Naizhao and Wu Jianzhang, they couldn't even close their mouths, the power of the cannon shocked them, and they were even more in awe of the foreigners!

After a long time, Wu Jianzhang sneered: "Then no matter how arrogant Wang Feng is, he is not like shit in front of Lord Yang's artillery?" The official wants to see how long he can be arrogant, maybe he has been blasted into a mess! ”

"Hmm~~" Xu Naizhao echoed: "The bandits must not have expected that Lord Yang would help in the war, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, if the official is not mistaken, even if there are no one thousand dead and wounded, seven or eight hundred must be there, once Baoshan City is recaptured, the emperor will be easy to talk to!" ”

The two of them were talking to themselves, and the dutiful translator was truthfully relaying, Alice's green eyes flashed with obvious anxiety, and she couldn't help but say, "Uncle, do you think Wang Feng will be on it?" ”

Wen Xian shook his head and said: "Wang Feng is a talent, but it's a pity that he is an enemy of my British Empire, such a person must be ruined, what we need is compradors and lackeys, not nationalists, Bolvar has one is enough, countries never want another Bolivar in the East, under the fire of my British Empire, any nationalist can only destroy Miè!" ”

As he was talking, Wen Xian seemed to think of something, and said suspiciously: "Alice, why do you always help Wang Feng speak?" You must be in love with him, right? ”

"How is that possible?" Alice argued: "I just admire him, appreciate his patriotism and different qualities from other Chinese, and have nothing to do with personal feelings, not to mention that I am British, white, and he is Chinese, a yellow person, a different ethnic country, different beliefs and preferences, and they will not be happy together!" ”

Although Alice denied it, her pretty face turned slightly red, and Wen Xian nodded mechanically: "It's not the best, Alice, I thought about it, as an Englishman, it's better for you to grow up in your own country, and when you go back next time, I'll send you back to London." ”

"Nope! I don't want to go back to London! Alice screamed without thinking!

"Why?" Wen Xian's face sank.

Alice gritted her teeth and said: "I don't like the fog in London all year round, and the pungent smell of soot in the fog, especially in winter, even if it is sunny, you can only get two or three hours of sun every day, and Shanghai has four distinct seasons, fresh air, and not as hot as Mumbai, I like Shanghai, I want to stay in Shanghai!" ”

Wen Xian looked at Alice deeply, and said lightly: "You are right, Shanghai is indeed a good place, even I am reluctant to leave, but my term of office as governor of Hong Kong is still two years, two years later, I will return to Lun to report to Her Majesty the Queen, and you, also eighteen years old, you go back with me, I will help you choose an excellent noble son to be your husband, you like Shanghai, you can move with your husband and your husband after marriage." ”

"Uncle, I don't want to get married!" Alice said hurriedly.

Wen Xian smiled slightly: "Alice, you don't want to now, you may not want to in two years, people will always grow up, do you say?" ”

Although Wen Xian's tone was inquiring, his words were full of undoubtedness, and he didn't give Alice a chance to explain anything, so he turned his eyes to the front, and under the continuous shelling, the city wall was blasted out of a gap about three hundred meters wide, and the bricks were piled up like a hill, so he turned his head and said, "Almost." ”

"Yes!" A British herald waved his flag at the battleship on the river.

After a while, the sound of the cannon stopped, and Wen Xian said to the translator again: "Next, it's time to look at Lord Xu and Lord Wu." ”

After the translator relayed Wen Xian's request, Wu Jianzhang threw his hand away: "Lord Xu, I am willing to go to war with the army, and I vow to personally capture Wang Feng and bring him to the street, if he dies under the fire of Lord Yang, then dig him out!" ”

Wu Jianzhang made no secret of his bitter hatred for Wang Feng, Xu Naizhao nodded and said, "Okay, this official allows you to go!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" After Wu Jianzhang's salute, he flew on his horse and waved violently!

Because the bricks and rubble blocked the view, the Qing army did not rush forward, but the musketeers and spear archers slowly advanced, cautiously climbed to the top of the masonry, and when they saw the Taiping army hiding behind a simple bunker two hundred zhang away, and made sure that there was no artillery, they sent a safety signal to the cavalry.

"Up!" Wu Jianzhang let out a loud shout and led the cavalry to gallop forward, the gravel and bricks were not conducive to riding the horse and running, so he could only regroup the formation below after climbing.

In the absence of artillery, two hundred zhang is a safe distance, and the Qing army is fearless, Lu Dayou can't help but chuckle: "It's time for us to fight back, it's a pity that there are no foreigners, if you kill a few foreigners, it will be more enjoyable!" ”

Wang Feng said in a low voice: "If you want to fight foreigners, are you afraid that you won't have a chance?" The Qing army can't do us, it must be foreigners who go into battle, okay, give Lao Tzu a spirit, don't capsize the boat in the gutter! ”

"Please rest assured!" Lu Dayou took out a grenade from his arms and held it tightly in the palm of his hand!
