The harassment of the Qin army began. This harassment was very annoying, starting from that valley, for a full three hours, and by the time of the lunch break, Wang Yao's pioneer had already suffered six small-scale attacks. The number of people is no longer one gun at the beginning, but ten shots.

The cold guns hidden in the shadows were unguardable, and even though they could only hit a few people at a time, they would cause chaos in the entire marching team and delay Wang Yao for a long time. And what's even worse is that these people often only hurt people, rather than kill them cleanly. For every wounded, Wang Yao and Wang Yao had to be used to bear the wounded, and the evil in the heart, Wang Yao couldn't understand it at first, but it was clear by noon.

They walked two hills in three hours, less than ten miles of mountain roads. It's understandable.

What's worse is that with the gradual increase in the number of wounded and sick, Wang Yao gathered a total of more than 200 people, and half of them were already tied to death.

In the face of the attack of the Qin army's scouts, Wang Yao gradually became powerless to fight back, and the whole army was like a frightened bird. Morale was on the verge of collapse.

The three hundred scouts were not prepared for a thousand defeated soldiers, but set the target on the entire Chu army in Yongchun Prefecture. Otherwise, it will be a hundred people, and Liu Xian will be too much.

When Chen Wuzhong summoned 100 soldiers from his squadron, he attacked Wang Yao's vanguard with a small team of troops, and completely destroyed Wang Yao's vanguard with a light charge. Then the other forces attacked from the left and right, and the remnants of Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong were completely chaotic.

Scouts armed with mortars and grenades were not to be too advantageous in this mountain warfare, and all of them were armed with repeating rifles and revolvers. Wars are devastating.

The defeated soldiers fled, and some of the defeated soldiers recognized Fu Xianzong. They shouted loudly to him: 'Fu Junmen, Fu Junmen......' gathered towards him.

Fu Xianzong also tried his best to stop the troops. I'm going to fight for my last life. But how could the Qin army see the chaotic Chu army regrouping again. If you find a sprout, you will immediately smooth it out.

'Don't panic, don't mess ......'

Before Fu Xianzong's words fell, a huge explosion sounded. Three mortar shells fell directly around Fu Xianzong, and his own soldiers and horses were killed by scattered shrapnel. There were also some soldiers who were swept over by the blast and inevitably broke their heads and bled again.

The small group of Chu troops that had just gathered was once again messy. However, a few centers hurriedly came to the rescue, lifted the dead horse and dragged out Fu Xianzong, who was pressed below, trying to help him turn around and escape. only to find that one of his legs had been broken. And at this moment, the figures of Qin soldiers flashed out one after another in the woods on the hillside, holding revolvers in their hands and firing at the Chu army again and again.

'Ahh

A Chu army officer let out a strange scream, raised his waist knife and slashed at the rushing Qin army scouts. In fact, despite the fact that the pistol in the scout's hand kept ringing, it wasn't actually aimed at someone at all. These people were completely captives in the eyes of the scouts.

As for the Chu army, the Qin army's strategy was not to kill or wound if it could be captured.

Therefore, this heroic officer of the Chu army did not embark on the road of being shot and killed indiscriminately. The scout at the head shot the officer in the wrist, then took three steps and two steps, stepped forward, and punched the officer in the ribs. The man fell to his knees on the spot and could not get up.

Fu Xianzong couldn't exert his strength when he broke his leg, and fell to the ground on one knee, but he stood up again with his knife and crutches, and raised his eyebrows at the Qin army scouts opposite. shouted loudly: 'Lao Tzu is Fu Xianzong, if you want to kill me, shoot-'

But how could Fu Xianzong, who had lost one leg, be the opponent of the scouts. If you are in good health. Fu Xianzong, who is strong in martial arts, will definitely give a lot of trouble to the Qin army scouts with the task of capturing them alive, but now......

A palm was slapped on the back of Fu Xianzong's head. The evil bear's gaze then became glazed, and his body fell limply to the ground. The scout whistled contemptuously. 'I don't know what is alive or dead. If it weren't for the order from above, you must live, Lao Tzu would have sent you to see Hades with a shot. ‘

Wang Debang fell again just now, his buttocks were bitten by shrapnel, if it weren't for the loyal efforts of his personal guards to snatch him out of the crowd, he might have been trampled by the chaotic army. However, he escaped the first day of junior high school, and he couldn't escape the fifteenth, and Wang Debang was surrounded by the Qin army scouts.

Wang Debang was in a heavy siege, and several personal guards were helpless, just kept waving their knives and shouting loudly at the Qin army scouts around them with relaxed faces, but they didn't dare to rush up to fight. ≧

The crowd split apart, and a young Qin army general appeared in Wang Debang's sight. He wears the same uniform as a soldier, with two gold threads sewn into his collar badge except for his time. His face and body were covered with dust and grass clippings, and he walked slowly towards him with a repeating pistol in his hand, stepping over dust and blood stains, stepping on corpses and rubble.

Wang Debang's personal guards were like facing a great enemy, and raised their swords and guns at this Qin army general. The Qin general ignored them as if they were nothing, and walked up to Wang Debang step by step, looking at Wang Debang with an expressionless face.

'Wang Junmen. Deng Kai, deputy captain of the reconnaissance brigade of the Lower Qin Army. ‘

Stop resisting in vain. Your war ...... is over. ‘

yes, it's all come to this point, and it's really not interesting to resist anymore. Deng Kai is right, the history of the Dingbian Army and the Fu Zi Battalion is over.

On the 10th day of the second month of the Qin army, the reconnaissance brigade of the Qin army crossed the mountains in the north of Yongchun Prefecture and directly inserted it into Yongfu County, which was less than 50 miles away from Fuzhou City. That is, Huang Jianxun's hometown.

The Chu army's defense here was weak. Because no one in the Chu army thought that the Qin army would come out of here. The mountains are the best defensive line in Vinh Phuc.

Today's wars are no longer something that can be fought with a single sword. War requires artillery fire and sufficient ammunition, and the continuous mountains isolate logistics and transshipment, which also isolates the occurrence of war.

So when the reconnaissance brigade appeared in Vinh Phuc, it was simply a miracle from heaven. The hundreds of unsuspecting Chu troops stationed in Chu were defeated by a single blow, and the city gate was blown open by the explosives pack, and the county town of Yongfu became the territory of the Qin army.

Chen Wuzhong's greatest task was not to capture Yongfu, which was of little use to the Qin army's offensive. The real task of the reconnaissance brigade was to touch as many military stations as possible along the road from Fuzhou to Fuqing. Burning all the military supplies inside, and then attacking the line of communication between Fuzhou and Fuqing, would be of great benefit to the Qin army's upcoming offensive against Fuqing.

In the yamen of the governor of Fuzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang, there were no outsiders in front of Zuo Zongtang, all of them were cadres of the Chu army and people he could trust. For example, Yuan Baoheng!

A group of people are discussing a question, Fuqing, Shou? Still not keep!?

You must know that now that the main fleet of the Qin army has sailed to the sea off the Minjiang River, the momentum of attacking the Nagato Fort is unstoppable.

If the Changmen Fort was lost, Lianjiang would also be lost, and the Qin army would be able to attack Fuzhou City directly from the north of the Min River. The 5,000 people who are arranged in Fuqing, is it still necessary to save zài?

Rather than scatter the limited forces to that useless place, it is better to abandon them directly.

But Fuqing is the southern gate of Fuzhou, and if it is guarded, the main force of Liu Xian's army will not be able to approach Fuzhou City from the south road.

If Liu Xian wanted to attack Fuzhou, he had to transport his army to Lianjiang by boat. Anyway, this can also consume some of the morale and time of the Qin army.

The generals under him have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone. Zuo Zongtang hesitated for a while. Now the war has changed from a strategic perspective to a tactical perspective, and a traditional Chinese military strategist like Zuo Zongtang is no longer able to play.

It's like the Taizu of the Red Dynasty never took a gun to the battlefield himself.

Strategic talent and tactical command are completely different things.

Langqi Island, the fourth largest island off the coast of Fujian. Jiangxin Island at the mouth of the Min River.

On the top of the Golden Medal Mountain in Fengwo Village, the original Golden Medal Fort of the Qing Army, the observation post of the Qin Army can clearly see the Changmen Fort on Dianguang Mountain in Changmen Village, Zhutou Town, Lianjiang County, opposite with the naked eye.

These two forts facing the river were originally Fuzhou's first line of defense against the sea. The forts are facing each other from afar, forming a chair corner. Under the two forts, there are two reef islands (i.e., double turtles), the mainstay, the river is narrow, the narrowest point is only 400 meters, the water is turbulent, and the geographical location is very dangerous.

Lin Zexu once wrote a poem and said: "The natural danger is set up in the tiger gate, and the cannons are facing each other." Although Haikou is open to trade, he should be a general of customs capital. The lips are afraid of the cold teeth, and Fujian is safeguarded. ”

In the 57th year of the Kangxi reign of the Manchu Dynasty (1718), the first gold medal fort was built, and in the 29th year of Daoguang (1849), Lin Zexu presided over the reconstruction.

But it is a pity that the forts set up by the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all open-air forts.

Therefore, even if the gold medal fort is composed of the main fort on the top of the mountain, the fort on the mountainside, and the fort along the coast of the foothills, it is also lightly served by the four warships of the Nanyang Naval Division, namely Pingyuan, Zhenwei, Zhenxi, and Zhendong.

In stark contrast to the Gold Medal Fort, the Nagato Fort, as a circular castle-like building, is not something that four warships such as the Pingyuan can provoke lightly.

With a diameter of 95 meters, it consists of a fence, barracks, playground, ammunition depot, gun emplacement, and many other facilities. The bottom of the exterior wall and the interior of the upper floor are made of granite stone bars, and there is a playground of about 300 square meters. The whole fort is as solid as a rock and magnificent, which is the real first pass to hold the mouth of the Minjiang River.

Four ironclads to two, six mosquito ships to four, four iron-ribbed wood-hulled cruisers to half, two wooden cruisers, two wooden-hulled gunboats.

The essence of the Nanyang Naval Division has all arrived, a full fourteen warships, which is Liu Xian's attention to the Nagato Fort. It is also the biggest reason for Zuo Zongtang's dispute with the generals of the former Chu army today.

Some people believe that the Nagato battery could not withstand the attack of fourteen warships. Others believed that the Nagato Fort was impregnable and that fourteen warships could withstand it.

"Boom-"

Just when the controversy over the Yamen, the governor of Fuzhou, had not yet been unified, the main force of the Nanyang Fleet of the Qin Army at the mouth of the Minjiang River was mobilized. The Ironclad Ship Yangwei fired the first shot of the attack on Nagato!

The sound of artillery faintly entered the city of Fuzhou.

"Newspaper, newspaper—"

"The anti-Qin fleet shelled Nagato, the anti-Qin fleet shelled Nagato-" (to be continued......) R1292
