The braids seemed to really think that their sailors could overcome the stubborn enemy and win a great victory, so that they could sit back and enjoy their success without firing, patrolling north, horses stepping on the dragon, and silver and beautiful women could be embraced.

"Lord Guo, you are ......" As soon as the boat carrying the Nanyang Navy Commander Guo Baochang docked, the senior generals of the land battalion surrounded it, and Cheng Wen Binggong, the governor of Jiangning, took the lead in asking about the situation.

Guo Baochang, who was choked by the smoke on the ship, drooped his head and was full of remorse: "Guo is ashamed, he has the holy grace of the emperor and the queen mother, and he is ashamed of our soldiers!" ”

Everyone saw it, but in just a quarter of an hour's work, more than ten warships of the Great Qingshui Division were sunk by the rebels one after another, and none of them were left, completely disappearing into the blue sea.

The fierceness of the battle, the ferocity of the artillery fire, the heavy casualties, and the huge losses were beyond everyone's imagination.

Among the senior generals of the Hunan army, Cheng Wenbing, Chen Xiang, Li Guangjiu and others of the old generation all participated in the military operations to encircle and suppress Changmao in the early years.

He does not know much about the international situation and the replacement of weapons, but he can also estimate the combat effectiveness of the enemy army by relying on his past experience.

Seeing that the sailor was still like this, they knew that Lu Ying would not escape a fierce battle of death and death.

The general Chen Xiang has quite an opinion: "Now that the rebellion has not been extinguished, Lord Guo should not be arrogant." Moreover, the sailors fought hard and killed the enemy bravely, and everyone knows. What's more, tens of thousands of soldiers in the land battalion of our Hunan army have already landed on the treasure island, and if we quickly go north and attack the thieves, we can strengthen the prestige of our army.

To besiege Xuanlong, even if there are warships at sea, it will not be able to recover the decline, under the siege of my Xiangyong, it will be difficult to escape the result of annihilation, just like the long hair of the year! If Lord Cheng orders to send troops, you have no objection, Chen is willing to raise the ten battalions of the headquarters as a pioneer and go to the expedition! ”

After some discussion, Cheng Wenbing ordered Li Guangjiu's five battalions to serve as the right wing, Zuo Xiaotong (Zuo Zongtang's son) led the five battalions of the Zhongxin Army to be the left wing, and Chen Xiang's department to be the forward middle army.

The Hunan army landed in Hsinchu, only 200 miles away from Guilong, and marched for two days and nights before the troops could come to the city.

Seeing that the crowd was excited and so heroic, Guo Baochang was embarrassed to mention that the other party had surrendered by letting him back, for fear of being ridiculed by his colleagues.

Because of this, it was played again, thinking that the naval division battleship had just been lost, and if the two sins were one, the gains would outweigh the losses.

It's just that under the pretext of naval rules and different land, I won't say more, but I don't know that doing so will pit everyone half to death.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rebels had not yet shelled the beachhead, the Hunan generals hurriedly ordered their men to transfer supplies inland to avoid losses in vain.

For a time, the beach was crowded with people, and tens of thousands of foot soldiers were like ants moving, shuttling on the tidal flats.

"Hmph, it's really opportunistic!" Helen gave Guo Baochang and the others two hours, that is, an hour to consider the surrender.

Unexpectedly, the other party was very good at taking advantage of this precious time and began to make small moves, thinking that he could cover his ears and steal the bell.

The shells consumed in the naval battle had been replenished just now, and the Kinhans moved a lot of shells from the cabin to the deck.

When you're ready, this time the target is very easy to aim and easier to attack, because there is no complete lack of armor!

After destroying all opponents at sea, six battleships lined up, intending to show the enemy their formidable firepower.

Despite the absence of large-caliber naval guns, the classic combination of the M-30 122-mm howitzer and the ZIS-3 76-mm cannon was able to kill all sides, especially against the Braided Army, which was not even intended to be built for field fortifications.

The idea of the Hunan army is very simple, even if you move and then sneak inland, you won't be able to beat me.

Instead of wasting time digging fortifications and potentially getting lost to your shells, it's better to rush supplies with all your might.

Sensing that the situation had changed, Helen decided not to keep her promise and immediately "cleared the field" of her livestock.

Nearly fifty cannons let out a deafening roar at the same time, and the fire flashed, and the whistling sound came in an instant, and the busy beachhead was blown to pieces.

Shrapnel flew, smoke rose everywhere, flames rose, ghosts cried wolves, and the beach was stained dark red with gushing blood.

The stumps and internal organs of the braids were mixed between the craters, and even the generals of the Hunan army who commanded from a distance were shocked.

The two British transports that refused to leave would not have been given special care because of their special status.

The output of fire from an artillery regiment is absolutely beyond the reach of these unarmored auxiliary vessels.

When it became clear that the rebels had begun to attack indiscriminately, the British seamen on board had no choice but to jump into the sea in a hurry to escape.

Helen had already thought of the reasons for sinking the two British transports, and they were in front of the enemy to provide protection for them, which could be regarded as taking the initiative to meet them.

I have given the other party enough time to think about it, but he neither leaves, nor evades, nor makes a statement, so he ......

Even if the news reaches London and is known to the Cabinet, what can it do? Let the Far Eastern Fleet come to call for battle?

Helen even wanted to use this method to force her husband to agree to use the eight fifteen-inch guns on the "Baden"!

I finally fought a naval battle, and I didn't even use the main guns on the battleship, so I didn't enjoy it!

No matter what kind of battleship, as long as it takes such a shot, it will definitely leave unforgettable memories!

In front of these pigtail soldiers, the chicken thinks that accepting them to surrender to sincerity has to worry about backlash, and it costs a lot of money to raise this group of uncles.

If they are dismissed on the spot, many people will be recruited and absorbed by other gangs, and they will appear on the battlefield in a short time.

Therefore, such an open and honest stubborn fight now is the best way to solve the problem, once and for all, and there will be no future troubles.

"Run!" The braids, who had just been shelled, reacted quickly and immediately shrank inland.

There is no danger to defend the beachhead, this is very clear to everyone, stay here and wait for death.

In line with the basic combat concept of saving lives, without the command of senior generals, everyone ran into the woods with all their might.

The shocking scene of tens of thousands of people running wildly made the officers of Kim Hans who watched the battle with binoculars on the battleship stunned.

The ZIS-3 76-mm cannon had a fast rate of fire, but the braids ran faster.

What was supposed to be a light-hearted shooting training turned into a blind shooting, because in less than half a minute, the targets were all running into the woods.

The clan army had no choice but to extend its firepower and extend the shelling area to the depths of the interior, striving to reach 1,800 enemies.

"About a thousand people were injured!" Helen had to report it to the young man of the second cargo like this, there was no way, the other party was better than a mouse!

After no one could fight, the main task of the artillerymen was to completely destroy the materiel and equipment left by the enemy on the beachhead.

After all the shells on board the ship were gone, they could return to the port of Guilong.

As for what the enemy eats...... Aren't there a lot of bananas and coconuts on the island?

In addition, most of the island was still controlled by pigtails loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and they did not worry about food supplies at all.

Let them eat and drink enough to fight the dragon is the king, otherwise it will not be against the holy will?

The Little Emperor and the Old Lady...... Galeries Lafayette is still sitting in the capital, waiting for the grand occasion of frequent good news!

At eight o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, seeing that the tactical expectations had been met, Helen decided to withdraw the troops.

It's a pity that the Japanese battleship slipped away ahead of schedule, otherwise this time it would have been a real victory.

"Teacher, is the content of this telegram true?" A minute after Helen passed the results to the chicken, half the world knew, and Yu Xu was no exception.

The old man also has a share, and he still wants to delay it, and he plans to make a statement in his heart, so as to temporarily perfunctory the extremely anxious emperor.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor's followers, such as Uncle Liang, Uncle Kang, Uncle Tan and others, stabbed the big thing.

"Emperor Qi, this rebellious word cannot be trusted!" It's not that the old man can't believe it, but he doesn't want to believe it.

The Qing Dynasty Three-in-One Naval Division, which had finally been put together, was wiped out in the first battle, although the Beiyang Naval Division had not yet participated in the war, which was also a great shame.

Taking a step back, if he Li Hefei's fleet really pulls up, he can guarantee that he will definitely be able to defeat that group of rebels?

Wen Tingshi stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, my three major sailors are fighting in front of the battle, at this critical juncture, Li Hongzhang's Beiyang costs millions of taels of silver every year, but at this time, he is passively avoiding the war in Shangyang!" If it is reported, will it not dampen the prestige of our army? Hurt my morale? Where am I? Worthy of the grace of the two saints! ”

The imperial court has issued three edicts, and all the Beiyang fleets will go south, and the three major naval divisions will converge in Fujian to suppress the rebellion of Baobei.

Lao Li Tou received the first edict, under the pretext of a long-term lack of funds for ship repair. After receiving the second edict, he said that the shells were not yet complete.

Until the third marching edict was issued, Lao Li Tou also felt that it was tricky.

Seeing Lao Liu Tou pouring out of the nest, people from all walks of life went south to participate in the war, and he couldn't continue to prevaricate.

I had to make a show and move the Beiyang Fleet from Lushun to Wusong, and I still had the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

If the Hunan army is victorious, his Huai army can also take advantage of the situation.

Maybe you can also rely on the advantage of the sailor to take the lead in landing in Guilong and come out on top.

If the situation is critical, then ......

"Everyone is here today, look at this, just sent from Treasure Island, and the battle situation has already been electrified across the country!" Lao Li Tou moved the Beiyang Fleet under his command to Shangyang, and got the battle report of the first confrontation between the two sides, and the result was already expected.

Admiral Ding Ruchang, the commander of the navy, Liu Buyun, the chief soldier of the right wing, Lin Taizeng, the chief soldier of the left wing, Deng Du, who had a close relationship with the rebellion, and Zhang Peilun, the son-in-law of Lao Li Tou, and the eldest son Li Jingfang were all there.

After receiving the battle report and circulating it to each other, everyone was a little depressed, everyone was sorry for the tragic experience of the Southern Expeditionary Fleet, and they were also a little glad that Beiyang did not participate in the war in advance, and they escaped the catastrophe.

The sailors of Baodao mutinied, and then fought against the Qing Dynasty, and the sailors were naturally indignant about this, but they felt that they lacked confidence.

In a short period of time, without spending a tael of silver from the imperial court, they formed a fleet comparable to three or four Beiyang naval divisions.

Now after the imperial court is formed, it will eat ready-made, and it is impatient to divide the warships of the Treasure Island Naval Division.

Exposing his short-sighted, greedy and narrow-minded mind, this kind of thing happened to Beiyang, and I am afraid it will also be ......

"Yesterday afternoon, the old man received the fourth order to march into the army, what do you think?" Lao Li Tou wants his subordinates to express their position, and he can think about it again before he can make a decision.

As the leader of the sailor, Ding Ruchan naturally wanted to speak first, and arched his hand: "Lord Zhongtang, the imperial court has reached an agreement with the Japanese people a few days ago to escort our Qing ships. However, this telegram said that the Japanese ships had escaped from the battle, and even that our warships had been completely destroyed. ”

The scale and firepower of the clan fleet only listened to Liu Buyun's verbal relay, and the latter was also vague and unwilling to mention it too much.

After all, the magnificent scene of the big ship and the huge cannon is too terrifying, and it is very shocking to the self-confidence of the Beiyang generals, even if they have only seen it once, it is unforgettable.

Therefore, Ding Ruchan did not believe what the war report said, this may be just a trick used by the rebels, and the situation is not so bad.

At this critical moment on the cusp, it may not be safe to state his position, Liu Buyun understands the secret, so he starts another article: "Everyone, I heard that the British Navy intends to purchase two 10,000-ton warships from there!" ”

The Royal Navy of the British Empire is now the world's No. 1, and the second, third and fourth places combined can only be compared.

People did not know that the Japanese Combined Fleet and the Tsarist Navy had undergone earth-shaking changes, so they still regarded the British Navy as a king.

In terms of equipment performance, ship firepower, tactical level, and naval combat experience, the British Navy is the undisputed champion, which is why the Beiyang Naval Division was trained by the British before its formation.

The scale of British shipbuilding industry and the technology of building warships are second to none in the world, and other countries can only hope to match them.

If the news is true, then from now on, the Qing Dynasty, and even the great powers, will really have to look at the rebels first.

Lin Tai was not optimistic about the prospects of this battle, and said quietly: "In the past, Britain supported Japan and built a large number of ships for it, but now it is in the twilight of Qin, alas~! If there is no Taixi Navy to help me in the Qing Dynasty, then I will go south alone, and the future is uncertain! ”

Fighting a war and winning a war are two different things, the Beiyang Fleet can attack it all, but the past will never come back, and it is not a matter of obviousness!

As for the affairs of the British, one of them is counted as one, and no one can control it, and if it becomes a prophecy, it will be a whimper.

Although Zhang Peilun is not a military person, he has been around Lao Li for a long time, and he has thought of a good excuse: "If the battle report is true, then our Beiyang Naval Division has become the last force to protect our Daqing coastal defense." If the enemy takes advantage of the fact that our sailors are heading south and sneaks up on Shangyan, then the rich land south of the Yangtze River will be terrified! ”

With the Beiyang Navy Division to defend Shangyang, the imperial court should not be able to say anything, right?

If there is a mistake here, someone from the capital should become a scapegoat!

Even the long hair that caused trouble in the south of the Yangtze River back then, at its peak, never captured Shangyang.

Now that the rebels entrenched in the land of Xuanlong have taken this place, the face of the imperial court and the majesty of the two saints will be swept away in an instant.

Lao Li Tou, who was difficult to ride a tiger, also felt that this was very much in line with his heart, and he was worried that there was no prevarication of the edict, and now his son-in-law was ready.
