Under the gunfire of the British troops, the Qing workers who were repairing the fort scattered and fled, and many of them fell under the guns of the British troops.

A few fast-moving foreign reporters have begun to adjust the lens of their cameras, and with the danger here, there is also a huge opportunity lurking, if they can fully report the war between the Qing Dynasty and England, then they can make a name for themselves in the press of their own country.

"Gather the people, fire cannons from the forts, and warn the English warships!"

The British side had already fired, and as a good diplomat, this Yang Butang was competent, but as a front-line military commander, Yang Butang's reaction was undoubtedly stupid.

As Yang Meng ordered, the workers had begun to gather under the fort, but a warning cannon sound in front of the fort attracted a fierce counterattack from the English warships, and countless shells exploded on the fort under everyone's feet, but fortunately, their position was beyond the range of the ship's guns, otherwise it would be dangerous.

The battle reports on the front line were translated to these reporters one by one, and for Yang Butang's military talent, these reporters in the press corps could only shrug their shoulders and express their helplessness.

The war has broken out, and this Yang Butang's order is to let his officers and soldiers negotiate with the British army, and after more than a dozen heralds died in succession, he is still issuing such orders.

The defenders of the fort are also rapidly assembling, and the defenders of the Humen fort are quite numerous, at least five or six thousand people, a person who looks like a general. Soon arrived in front of Yang Butang. Among the very familiar names of reporters. Wu Yuanyou sent out a request for battle.

"Lord Ministry, dozens of soldiers and people have died, Jingpu begs you to give the order to fight back!"

"No! Whenever there is a chance of a truce, we must also fight for it! ”

After Yang Meng's order was translated, there was a boo on the small platform, for this weak Yang Butang, some people in the press corps. It's obviously extremely contemptuous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war has begun, please leave Humen with me! Once your personal safety is endangered, Yang can't afford it! ”

At this time, this Yang Butang actually wanted to escape, and everyone's contempt for him became deeper and deeper.

After some exchanges, all the reporters thought that this was a good opportunity to report on the war on the ground! This was previously only reported by journalists during the Crimean War. If they were able to cover the war from start to finish, it would have been beneficial both for their reputation and for their future income.

"Yang Butang. We are not the people of the Qing Kingdom, at this time, we will not listen to your orders, instead of fleeing, our construction is that you take your subordinates to fight back bravely, a person who does not cherish the lives of his subordinates, our world will not accept it! ”

A small group with the same hatred and hatred was formed, and in the face of the construction of the press corps, Yang Meng hesitated for a moment, and also made a choice, go to war!

"Wu Yuanyou obeys the order! Siege and strangle! As long as it is not the people of the Qing Dynasty who come ashore, they will be killed at will! ”

Different from the previous cowardice, this Yang Butang's order was bloody and terrifying, surrounded and strangled, and killed at will, at this moment, everyone really realized the ferocity and viciousness of this Yang Butang, and the cowardice in the early stage, I am afraid that they don't want to bear the responsibility of starting the war, right?

But how the war began, the people of the press corps knew very well, and the British army took the initiative to start the war, and this was a responsibility that could not be shaken off.

After the military order was transmitted, the team of several thousand people, as ordered by Yang Butang, was divided into three roads in the eyes of everyone, and the two pincer battle formations on the left and right were directly facing the back of one or two thousand British troops, and the more than 1,000 people in the center also fiercely launched an offensive against the British position.

How difficult it is to fight such a war, only Wu Yuanyou, who is in command of the battle, knows that the British warships bombarded the men and horses on both wings one by one, although the casualties were not very large, but if they continued for a long time, these brave fighting spirits were afraid that they would be completely wiped out.

"Yang Butang, Admiral Wu asks you to allow the fort to fire cannons, otherwise it will ......"

"Got it! Let's go down! You were supposed to take you to see the new giant cannon of my Daqing Humen Fort today, but at this time, the headquarters did not choose well, and you were trapped in the battlefield.

Since the main purpose of today is to watch the artillery, then I will take you to see the power of the giant cannon of my Daqing Humen Fort, please come with me! ”

Along the steps of the fort, everyone walked to the commanding heights of the Humen Fort, which had no fort before, and it was too far away from the river to exceed the range of many giant cannons.

Obviously on top of the newly built fort, there stood three super giant guns, the sound of these three guns was as white as silver, and a foreign reporter suddenly shouted at the giant cannon:

"German silver!"

"Yes, it's the Bronze Cannon! The net weight of each gun is twenty tons!

Listen to orders! Three guns in unison! Sink the English battleship within six cannons, or military law will be engaged! ”

The giant cannon, connected to the huge base, these bases are also completely mechanical bases, looking at the constantly adjusted white copper cannon, Renlei and Andre's eyes are full of surprise, such a huge cannon has exceeded imagination, even the French fortress cannon, there is no such weight!

This Yang Butang seems to be completely acting, the three giant cannons have already been filled, and he doesn't want to go to war, I'm afraid he can't wait to go to war, right?

After a few breaths, the first giant cannon was adjusted, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the shells of this giant cannon set off huge waves on the surface of the Pearl River.

"Explosive bombs!"

Such an exclamation did not arouse people's ideas, and now everyone's eyes turned to the second giant cannon ready to shoot, after the roar, everyone looked towards the river, this time the shell did not miss, in the eyes of everyone, only a few meters in size of the British battleship, in the echoing cannon sound, cracked, the entire bow was torn apart by that flowering bullet.

"Go on! Sink until you sink! ”

After six shots, two English battleships were badly damaged, and the other had already begun to sink. The power of the cannon is terrifying. The expression on Andrei's face was also extremely stiff.

He already knew the national policy on the French side. It is almost a foregone conclusion to partner with England to attack the Qing State, where are the old coastal defense guns in France? Why did the Humen Fort have such powerful artillery?

"Stop firing, guys, you can get a closer look at the cannons."

Different from the expression of surprise on his face just now, this Yang Butang's face sank like water, and he was indescribably majestic, could this be his expression after his anger?

I really wanted to see these cannons up close. But more people focused on the battlefield under the fort, without the support of naval guns, the British troops who landed had fallen into the encirclement, unlike the rumored Qing soldiers who used cold weapons, these Qing soldiers who surrounded the British army were holding muskets.

The chaotic gunfire came and went, and in Andrei's eyes, the British army, which was absolutely inferior in numbers, was already bound to be defeated.

"Yang Butang, you can persuade you to surrender!"

Andrei had just counted, and the British army below was almost two thousand men. Once the whole army is destroyed, the British Empire will inevitably retaliate. Once the scale of the war expands, France will inevitably intervene in this war, and André will not be able to predict the outcome of the war against this unfathomable Yang Butang.

When he met with this Yang Butang before, although Andre's posture was low, he still looked down on the Qing Kingdom in his heart, and the defeat of the motherland was not the ending he wanted to see.

"Andrey! This is a war, as long as it starts, they must pour out the resentment in their hearts, and now they are persuaded to surrender, how can the headquarters face the subordinates who have just died or are dying?

If the British army did not surrender on its own initiative, the headquarters would not have ordered an armistice! ”

Looking at the British soldiers who were fighting below, the people in the press corps actually had a feeling of being sad and sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

"That's all for today! Let's go back to Guangzhou, the detailed battle report will be reported by the headquarters tomorrow! ”

The play has been done enough, and the Lian Yong to which Wu Yuanyou belonged during the war also exposed their weaknesses, and the rest is just a hard battle, there is nothing to see, although shelling the British army is a good choice, but that will only make them surrender in advance and fail to achieve the goal of annihilation.

And Guangzhou Lian Yong also has to pay a certain number of casualties, to stimulate the heart of the same enemy in Guangzhou, when the war and politics are combined, there is no position at all, as an ordinary member of the war, Yang Meng also has to follow such a law.

"Yang Butang, what about the battlefield below?"

"It's over, if the British army doesn't surrender, there will be no end to the whole army, the war is so cruel, we still don't have to face it."

Ignoring Andrei's persuasion, as a Frenchman, what Andre was thinking, Yang Meng was also very clear, he was afraid that the fate of the French army would be the same as that of the British army below, but how could there be such a good thing in this world, and if he wanted to change the direction of the war by himself, Andre did not have such capital.

When he came, he was sleepy-eyed, when England was angry when he went to war without declaring war, and when he left, he was preoccupied, and the new Guangzhou, the new Humen, the new artillery, and a new Qing Dynasty were also displayed in front of the press corps.

In the face of the Qing Dynasty, not only Andre had a condescending attitude in his heart, but the press corps was the same, in their eyes, it was like a barbaric Qing Dynasty, and every action that was suitable for Europe and the United States was so amazing.

In more than ten days, people who were immersed in the integration of the Qing Dynasty and Europe and the United States also saw the fangs of the Qing Dynasty for the first time, and they had come, seen, and conquered.

Yang Meng didn't pay too much attention to the expressions of the reporters, his eyes were on Hong Kong Island, and he was thinking about whether Lin Li's team should be put on Hong Kong Island.

From the Humen Fort to the wharf below, everyone walked for half an hour, it was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and the war was the same.

What kind of country is England, what kind of country is the Qing Kingdom, everyone has a trade-off in their hearts, the British Empire will not suffer, and a retaliatory war is not far in the future.

In the eyes of everyone, the decaying and declining Qing Dynasty has burst out with new vitality, and the great empire and the great empire of the East are so cruel and ruthless in killing, as if European and American countries have underestimated this declining empire before.

Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, many people in the Tang and Song dynasties do not know, but the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the Yuan Dynasty reached as far as the territory of Europe, and the Ming Dynasty's fleet across the seven seas.

Amsterd believed that only by knocking on the door of the Qing state through the guò war could they open up this huge market. The French Emperor Napoleon was extremely contemptuous of this statement.

He commented on this statement: 'It is the greatest folly in the world to fight against this vast and abundant empire.'

You may succeed at first, you will seize their ships and destroy their military and commercial facilities, but you will also make them understand their power.

They will think, they will build ships, they will equip themselves with artillery, they will bring in gunners from France, Millican and even London, build a fleet and defeat you! ’

Of course, Amsterd disagreed, and he retorted: "Behind the apparently strong Qing Kingdom is a giant with feet of clay, very weak!" ”

He is not weak, he is just a sleeping pebble, in today's view, the pebble is asleep and even flies dare to fall on his face and scream a few times, but once he is awakened, the world will shake! ”

Napoleon replied to Amisted, and Yang Butang in front of everyone replied to the English with practical actions, and the lion woke up, and it was time for the world to shake. (To be continued......)
