Along with the sailors, there were more than 1,000 elite infantry, who were Vietnamese soldiers stationed in Da Nang, a port carefully managed by the French, so they dared to equip the Vietnamese soldiers with guns, but all the officers were French.

Those French officers also wanted to attack Woody Island to avenge the defeat of Lin Fei in the South Seas World War, but they could only attack Woody Island, and they couldn't fight anywhere else.

After several days of preparation, on December 30, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao sailed to Vinh Island with a fleet of four gunboats and eight transport ships loaded with Vietnamese soldiers in the Dragon Boat of the Vietnamese Emperor.

These four gunboats were named after the era of the imperial dynasty in Vietnamese history, and they were called "Tien Phuoc", "Ying Tien", "Hung Tong" and "Jing Swee".

These four era names are the names of the emperor of the Lê Dynasty of Vietnam, the Lê Dynasty is a relatively powerful dynasty in the history of Vietnam, it is located in an era roughly equivalent to the Song Dynasty in China, it also defeated the army of the Song Dynasty, and later reconciled with the Song Dynasty and accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao is already the empress of Vietnam, it stands to reason that Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao is a princess and cannot sit on the emperor's throne, but Nguyen Phuc Zhao has no sons, and his brothers are scattered all over Vietnam, and he can't come back in a short time.

The Vietnamese army, whether it was a transport ship or a gunboat, was very slow, so they drifted on the sea for two days and one night, and arrived in the waters near Woody Island on the morning of January 1, 1898.

Ruan Fu Baojiao looked at Woody Island in the distance, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, why did Lin Fei leave a letter, saying that he was on Woody Island, why did he say such obscene words, was Lin Fei deliberately provoking himself and letting himself attack Woody Island, and Lin Fei had already laid heavy troops in the waters of Woody Island, just waiting for himself to throw himself into the net?

Ruan Fu Baojiao's heart trembled suddenly, if Lin Fei's warships really set up an ambush in the waters of Woody Island, his own warships would definitely be sunk by Lin Fei, and he would also be captured...... Ruan Fu Baojiao remembered Lin Fei's lewd smile and hooligan's words, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao immediately gave the order: "Stop the attack on Woody Island, and the whole army retreats." ”

The ships did not have radio communication equipment, so they had to rely on flag language to communicate, and Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao's dragon boat hoisted the signal flag for retreat, and then began to turn back, and the eight Vietnamese transport ships also retreated, but the four warships ignored Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao's signal to retreat.

The captains of the four battleships were all French, and they really wanted to attack Woody Island, of course, they didn't know about Lin Fei's personal letter, and if they knew, they would definitely not dare to attack Woody Island.

These French people are used to being powerful, and when Nguyen Phuc Zhao was there, he disdained his orders, and now the Vietnamese emperor has been replaced by Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, a woman, and the French don't care about her even more.

The four battleships were still heading towards Woody Island, and Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao was very anxious and urged his subordinates: "Hurry up and send a message to the four gunboats, so that they don't move forward anymore, it will be dangerous." ”

The subordinates issued the retreat flag again and again, but the four gunboats ignored it, and Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao had to order: "Slow down and follow behind the gunboats from a distance." ”

The French captains on the four gunboats looked around the sea with binoculars, and did not find the Huaxia battleship at all, Woody Island is a small island with a small area, and the other end can be seen from this end of the island, and there is no situation where the Zài battleship is blocked by the island and cannot be discovered, so the four French captains ridiculed Nguyen Phuc Baojiao for being a woman and having no knowledge.

The four battleships gradually approached about five kilometers from Woody Island, and the four gunboats were equipped with small naval guns of 75 mm caliber, and the range at sea was only about two kilometers, so it was not possible to fire their guns at present, but the French commander who was eager to fight still ordered all gun positions to be ready for battle.

Ruan Fu Baojiao, who was in the distance, watched the four gunboats approaching Woody Island, and was anxious, but she had no choice but to silently hope that Lin Fei would have another ambush.

The distance between the four gunboats and Woody Island was quickly shortened to four thousand meters, and suddenly, I saw a puff of white smoke rising from Woody Island, and then only the sound of "boom" was heard in the distance, and after a few seconds, a column of water rose between the four gunboats, and on Woody Island, there were Huaxia shore defense guns!

It turned out that after inspecting Woody Island, Lin Fei found that Woody Island's defense against the sea was insufficient, so he decided to transfer four 240 mm naval guns for land use to strengthen the island's defense.

The French captains of the four gunboats did not expect that there were shore defense guns on the island, and under the sudden change, the reactions were different, among which the Tianfu and Jingrui turned around and returned to sail, while the Yingtian and Xingtong continued to rush to the island under artillery fire.

Shore artillery does not fluctuate with the waves like naval guns, so the trajectory of the cannonball is stable, and soon a cannonball hit the Yingtian ship, how can a small battleship of 500 tons withstand such a heavy blow, a cannonball will blow the entire tail gun away, and the fire will instantly burn on the deck.

Seeing that the shore defense artillery of Yongxing Island was very powerful, the Xingtong ship did not dare to move forward, and immediately retreated, and the Yingtian ship, which had been hit by a cannon, did not dare to approach Yongxing Island again, but turned back with injuries.

The four gunboats turned to flee, and the cannons on the island stopped, and during the whole process, there were no warships in the nearby waters, which made Ruan Fu Baojiao very surprised, and there were no Huaxia battleships in the whole attack process, indicating that Lin Fei was not on Woody Island, if Lin Fei was not on Woody Island, then where would he go?

Ruan Fu Baojiao frowned and pondered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, since there are no warships near Woody Island, can't we send small boats to land in batches?

There are only four batteries on the island, and each of our transport ships can put down eight small boats, and there are more than sixty ships on the entire sea, and their batteries will definitely not be able to beat them.

Thinking of this, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao immediately gave the order to attack the island, and the eight transport ships immediately lowered sixty-four small boats, each of which was loaded with 20 Vietnamese soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition.

The dinghys were heading towards Woody Island, and the dingries were far apart from each other, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for the cannonballs to hit the dinghy.

Ruan Fu Baojiao looked at the dinghy on the sea, and secretly laughed in her heart, we have so many dinghy, so many soldiers, Huaxia people, I have to kill you all!

When the four gunboats saw that the Vietnamese sent out small boats and began to attack the island, they were greatly stimulated, are we French not as brave as the Vietnamese? Immediately turn the bow of the ship and attack Woody Island.

The battery on Woody Island, as if it knew that it could not resist the attack of a large number of Vietnamese troops, actually stopped firing artillery.

Ruan Fubao Jiao trembled excitedly, the cannon of the Chinese people was dumb, we can attack Woody Island without much effort, and the shame that Lin Fei gave to the palace can finally be washed away...... No, it hasn't been washed yet! This palace must castrate Lin Fei, so that it can be considered washed!

Ruan Fu Bao Jiao was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a big mess on the deck of the dragon ship, Ruan Fu Bao Jiao hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

A subordinate ran in in a panic, "Gong...... Your Royal Highness, Princess, no...... Oh no, blood ...... Blood Fire Dragon Banner ......"

"What Blood Fire Dragon Banner?"

"The battleship with the Blood and Fire Dragon Banner is coming from over there!"

Ruan Fubao couldn't care about the princess's demeanor, screamed, ran to the deck in a few steps, grabbed the binoculars of his subordinates and looked into the distance, only to see that on the sea in the distance, two battleships broke the waves, and on the top of the mast of the battleship, the blood and fire dragon flag fluttered in the wind, the Huaxia fleet is coming!

Ruan Fubao's delicate face was gray, how could the Huaxia battleship come? She didn't know that two Dragon-class cruisers were cruising near Woody Island, and it was equipped with the Blue Bird Machine No. 2, which could contact Woody Island at any time.

Ruan Phuc Baojiao instantly thought of the fate of being captured again, and she hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreat!" ”

The dragon ship and the four gunboats retreated first, and the eight transports did not retreat for a while, because they wanted to take back the small boats that had been released, but the speed of the two dragon-class cruisers was extremely fast, and the transports had just retracted a small boat when they were hit by the shells of the dragon-class cruisers.

In an instant, three transport ships sank, and the other transport ships threw down their boats and fled desperately, but the speed of the transport ships was far from that of the Dragon-class cruisers, and the transports could not escape at all, and the eight transports were all killed by the two Dragon-class cruisers.

Although eight transport ships were sacrificed, Ruan Fu Baojiao's dragon ship still escaped the pursuit of the dragon-class cruiser, Ruan Fu Baojiao let out a long breath, and finally could avoid Lin Fei's humiliation, but the question in Ruan Fu Baojiao's heart has not been solved, that is, where did Lin Fei go?

Late at night on January 3, Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao's dragon boat and four warships barely reached Da Nang, and the dragon boat stopped at the pier.

At this moment, Ruan Fubaojiao suddenly heard a big mess outside the cabin, and the sound of "kick and tap" footsteps couldn't help but sound, it seemed that countless people were running outside the cabin, Ruan Fubao Jiao was furious, who was so bold that he dared to make noise outside the cabin of the palace!

Ruan Fu Baojiao stood up and was about to open the hatch to see what was going on, but the hatch suddenly opened, Ruan Fu Baojiao was extremely angry, and dared to open the hatch of the palace, and the palace must cut off his dog claws.

Ruan Fu Baojiao looked at the door fixedly, only to see a familiar face appear in front of her, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded: "Dear Princess Baojiao, we meet again." ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao couldn't care about the princess's demeanor anymore, screamed, took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair with her buttocks, it turned out that the person who appeared in front of her was Lin Fei!
