Unlike Yang Meng, who was a little calm between advance and retreat, the Anglo-French army in Beitang has now exploded, and there is no news of Yilu and McMahon on the front line, and the road to retreat in Beitang has almost been cut off by the Qing army, and the ice shell on the sea has now become the biggest obstacle to the retreat of the Anglo-French army.

The trenches of the Qing army have besieged the Tucheng of Beitang, and the huge number of cavalry troops is hidden in the trenches a few hundred meters away.

After nearly ten days of siege, more than 10,000 casualties were paid in order to break through the British and French coalition forces, and the number of casualties of the Qing army was also about 10,000, and the reinforcements of the Qing army were still increasing.

Mikhail, the commander of Tsarist Russia, never thought that today's Qing country's combat power is so strong, infantry is one-on-one, cavalry is one-on-two, such combat power is somewhat beyond imagination, Mikhail thought that he gave the British and French coalition forces a set in Zhangjiawan, but he didn't expect that it was the British, French and Russian coalition forces that finally entered the set, and he knew that he would never hide the secret of the Qing cavalry from the British and French.

The Tatar cavalry in the mouth of Britain and France, Mikhail did not see, he only saw a group of cavalry on a par with his own Cossacks, such a combat power, such a number, escape has become a luxury!

William? Baga dispatched more than 300 heavy guns from the battleships, and the result was still the same, the Qing army was not inferior to the British and French forces in terms of the number of artillery and the power of artillery, and the war had reached a stalemate, which is an irrefutable fact.

This battle has been fought to this day. The remaining commanders of Britain, France and Russia. Also realized that this was a trap. But they couldn't escape, so they could only stay in Beitang Tucheng.

News, William? Baga has already sent the fleet back to the mainland, there is no need for the war to continue, and any more war will only bury the Anglo-French forces on the shore.

The situation at sea is also dangerous today, Millican's fleet. I didn't dare to enter the Bohai Sea at will, and the mines became a nightmare for the Anglo-French combined fleet, and the power of the Qing mines was too great, even if the second-class warships touched the mines, they would be blown up and sunk, and from the land to the sea, the British Empire had lost its absolute superiority.

Faced with such a trap, the commander of the British and French fleets, William? Baga didn't break through the sea and escape for the first time, not only did he know that the current shipping route was extremely dangerous, he also knew it. Once the navy retreated, the British, French and Russian armies of Beitang Haikou. will be annihilated completely.

A few battleships that broke through the ice became a sea battery to support Beitang Tucheng, as long as the sea ice melted in the spring, William? Baga felt that they still had hope of breaking through, and now all he had to do was to ensure the supply of the army.

Although the fleet and the army are all besieged in the Bohai Sea, the navy can barely provide for food supplies, and it is not a problem to distribute a part of the army, and in the Bohai Sea in winter, there are still a lot of catches, and fishing is not a shame for the navy.

The news that the British and French forces were trapped in the Bohai Sea had just reached Hong Kong Island and Guangzhou, and Ding Taichen did not give the foreign devils much time to be shocked, and a fleet of 50 sail warships and 10 ironclad ships slowly drove out of the mouth of the Pearl River.

The Qing warship with the three-cornered dragon flag is covered with vermilion lacquer, and the dragon wood carving on the bow of the ship is vivid, but now the foreigners of various countries have no heart to appreciate the aesthetics of the Qing Kingdom, and they are more shocked in their hearts.

The sail warship is not a particularly shocking thing, it is shocking that the Qing State has such a number of new sail warships, these warships are all British and French warships in service in terms of style, and the ten ironclad ships full of colorful flags are the most shocking thing.

Ironclad ships are not a new thing in Europe, but they appear in the Far East, it is surprising, most people who have experienced sea voyages know that due to fuel, ironclad ships cannot sail long distances, when did the Qing Kingdom have the ability to make their own ironclad ships?

Sail warships, the Qing Kingdom can buy them from overseas, but what about ironclad ships? Or is this fleet completely made by the Qing State itself?

Many doubts suppressed many discordant voices, and with this northbound fleet, many people began to worry about the future pattern of the Far East.

It's not that no one thought of the batch of British and French warships that were burned in Jinkou, but they couldn't imagine that in such a short period of time, how could the Qing State transform all the dozens of warships, and when they saw these Qing warships with the three-cornered dragon flag, the vast majority of people thought that the Qing State had the ability to manufacture new warships.

After this fleet sailed away from the mouth of the Pearl River, the Hong Kong Island side also made great adjustments, several English warships guarding in Dinghai were quickly transferred back, for the evasion of the English warships, the Qing fleet turned a blind eye, not because they didn't want to fight, but because they couldn't fight, Yang Meng gave Yang Fuliang a death order, not in front of everyone, even if the British and French forces attacked the fleet, they had to dodge.

There is no war in Jiangnan! There are many good ports along the coast, which is the advantage of the Qing Dynasty and the disadvantage of the Qing Dynasty, compared to the fleet, Yang Meng's little bit of family foundation in his hands is far from being the opponent of Europe, not to mention England, that is, the decline of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, which can bring countless troubles to the maritime frontier of the Qing Dynasty.

A good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, let alone the earth dog of the Qing Dynasty? Whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty in power, or Yang Meng himself in power, between tigers, wolves, and earth dogs, within ten years, Yang Meng's evaluation of the Qing Dynasty is a soil dog, it is easy to scare people, and if you really want to fight in the sea, you will only suffer a series of defeats.

Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, even if there is a Guangzhou Shipbuilding School, even if there are dozens of warships, on top of the naval battle, Yang Meng still does not dare to boast, this object is a purely technical work, whether it is navigation or artillery warfare at sea, the construction of the elite navy, is calculated in ten years.

An ironclad ship took Yang Meng nearly ten years to compete with the world's powers, and Yang Meng is looking forward to the next ten years, not now!

The infantry of the land war, with enough firearms, and after a few months of training, Yang Meng can despise any country in the world, compared to the number of them, the Qing Dynasty is about the same as Tsarist Russia. There is a warlord team. Courage is on the line of life and death. It doesn't matter whether it's voluntary or not, as long as the soldiers can shoot, the army of the Qing Dynasty is no worse than any country!

Artillery? Today's infantry are charging under artillery fire, and compared to rifles, artillery causes too little damage! Too little!

Cavalry? Although there are not many breeds of fine horses in the Qing Dynasty, there is only one Mongolian. It is enough for all countries in the world to have a headache, with the cooperation of a sufficient number of infantry, the combat power of the cavalry can be fully exerted, with Mongolia, the cavalry source base, the cavalry and Yang Meng, just need to equip them with sabers, teach them how to use Colt, three or two months, elite cavalry, Yang Meng can gather hundreds of thousands!

But naval battles. Yang Meng really had no confidence, so he sent Yang Fuliang out this time. The biggest purpose is still deterrence, a decisive battle with the combined British and French fleet in the Bohai Sea, Yang Meng doesn't have the courage, and he can't afford the loss of dozens of warships!

This time the navy was dispatched, Yang Meng directly withdrew 50 million taels of silver from the household department, and this fleet was worth more than 10,000 taels to the Qing Dynasty. Even with the 50 million taels of silver at the bottom, Yang Meng was still like an old man, staring closely at the navy he had built.

Compared to the loss of the ship, the student soldiers on the ship are more valuable! More critical! Although the age of these student soldiers is generally not young, in Yang Meng's eyes, they are still student soldiers, the naval students of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding School, this time they almost went out of the nest, once the whole army is wiped out, ten years of hard work will be in vain!

In order to leave a way back for his navy, Yang Meng mobilized thousands of artillery pieces to the Yanwei area, this batch of coastal defense artillery is also all the shore defense artillery that Yang Meng can call, the five major commercial ports, used too much artillery, the old artillery Yang Meng does not want to cast more, the new artillery, dare not show it in front of people too early, embarrassing!

Taking this opportunity, Yang Meng also wanted to build a military port on the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, after all, the Beijing-Tianjin area was the center of the Qing Dynasty, and the threat from the sea was too direct, and no one could predict the subsequent war situation.

The navy is dispatched, and the pressure on the foreigners in the five major commercial ports is very great, and the pressure on Yang Meng is also very great, but the most pressure is Yang Fuliang, the commander of the navy, this wolf-like person, who has been studying hard recently, and his status has reached a certain level, and it is not difficult for Yang Fuliang to find a few clever gentlemen and staff.

Over the years, Yang Sanye has been suppressed several times, Yang Fuliang's heart is resentful, but he is more afraid, when he followed Yang Sanye out of Yunnan, Yang Fuliang also wanted to make a career, but now it seems that Yang Sanye is the real king, and he Yang Fuliang can't succeed!

With the guidance of Mr. and his staff, Yang Fuliang knew how dangerous his situation was, Yang Sanye didn't kill him, most likely he was still useful, but now the new Ding of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Academy has become talented one by one, more ruthless than him Yang Fuliang, more poisonous than him Yang Fuliang, and more than him Yang Fuliang can fight like a carp crossing the river, right?

If he doesn't show some meritorious deeds, he Yang Fuliang is not far from death, but fighting against the British and French combined fleet, Yang Fuliang has no confidence! Daniel followed Master Ge to Europe, the commander of the navy is Yang Fuliang, once defeated, death is close at hand!

Anti? Qin Ziqi and Bo Qinglang's people may be by his side, let alone collusion, I am afraid that if he says something unfavorable to Yang Sanye, then Bo Qinglang's subordinates will not hesitate to destroy him Yang Fuliang's full house.

The Yang family, the most ruthless, poisonous and ruthless knife, is not him Yang Fuliang, but the mysterious Bo Qinglang Sun Boqing, how many old people of the Yang family have been harmed by this Bo Qinglang? Yang Fuliang can't count, not to mention the old man next to the third master, who is the old steward who has served for more than 20 years and nearly 30 years by the old man of the Yang family, that Bo Qinglang has killed more than one hand, and he is out of the Yang family, he can only think about it in his dreams.

Beat? The Yang family knows best that the combat power of the European and American navies is Yang Fuliang, as a pirate, Yang Fuliang has also taken over with the European navy, and he can't run away, let alone fight.

The newly built navy seems to be strong and strong, but in Yang Fuliang's eyes, these people are not worse than the European navy, a sea battle formation, can make the navy rush and make frequent mistakes, these people want to fight a naval war, at least five years earlier!

This naval dispatch, Yang Sanye also has a task, one is to hone the navy's tactics, the second is to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the ironclad ship, and the most important thing is the second task, if you want to realize the advantages and disadvantages of the ironclad ship, you have to start a war with the British and French combined fleet, in the Bohai Sea, how many British and French warships?

Even if some are gone, the total number is still seventy or eighty, and there are only sixty under him Yang Fuliang, counting the battleships that have laid mines in the Bohai Sea, there are only seventy, the number of battleships is not as good as others, and the navy's Su zhì is even worse, this battle cannot be fought!

For Yang Fuliang, entering the Bohai Sea with a fleet is definitely an extremely risky act, and the best thing the British Navy is at is blockading the harbor, and now it is winter! There are few seaports in Bohai Bay that are not frozen, and once the entire fleet is trapped in the harbor, what the outcome will be, it is not something that he Yang Fuliang can control.
