178 Crying Beiyang
As the night faded to an end, a touch of fish white slowly rose in the eastern sky.
In the Lushun Beiyang Navy Admiral's Mansion, several personal soldiers climbed high and took off the two wind lanterns under the eaves, and when they blew hard, a wisp of green smoke immediately slowly rose from the center of the lamp.
The soldiers who took off the wind lanterns couldn't help but look at the lobby that was still full, and they didn't understand what was going on, it was actually worth letting the Admiral and a few pipe leaders stay up for a night.
Ding Ruchang sat on the chair, watched the soldiers outside the door take off the wind lantern and left, only to find that the sky in the distance had gradually brightened, and his heart was even more anxious, so he hurriedly glanced at the message on the case, but just wanted to pick it up but retracted his hand.
Since the defeat in the last naval battle, not only was Beiyang humiliated and humiliated, but even he himself was condemned.
In the face of the constant verbal and written criticism from the top and bottom of the imperial court, and even the generals within Beiyang also complained a lot, Ding Ruchang felt that this chair was like a cannonball stuffed under it, which made him feel like a needle prickly and restless.
So recently, he took three steps to see one step at a time, for fear of causing any more trouble, but what no one expected was that at this time, he actually received this telegram from Lord Zhongtang.
The Russian fleet is coming to Arthur to refuel coal!
Ding Ruchang took a deep breath, he finally endured a winter, and finally sent the Russians away in fear, but he didn't expect it to be a long time, and he was coming back again!
He still can't figure it out, obviously they have sent away these plague gods, why does Lord Zhongtang still promise the other party to come back, isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? You know, now the Russians have ten big ships! The smallest one is not much worse than the two ships in Dingzhen, and such a huge sailor enters Port Arthur, who knows what will happen?
That's why he gathered all the generals of Beiyang overnight to discuss this matter.
At this moment, Liu Buyun and Lin Taizeng sat on both sides, and the rest of the ships were also all seated, and a total of five ships were lost in Beiyang in the First Sino-Japanese War, of which Guangjia originally belonged to the South Seas, but although the Laiyuan was heavily damaged, it was not as good as before, and it was changed to a gunboat to be used, and Qiu Baoren led the Jiyuan left after Fang Boqian left.
Although there are still five capital ships and more than a dozen gunboats and torpedo boats in name, everyone knows that if the Russians really have bad intentions, I am afraid that the whole Beiyang will be really more auspicious!
Lin Tai once glanced at Liu Buyun, and saw that he was also worried, so he first hugged his fists and asked: "Lord Admiral, the Russians have left but suddenly turned around, and they must not have any good intentions, so I think that the Russian sailors must not be allowed to enter Lushun." ”
"Probably not, right?" Pingyuan pipe band Li He shook his head: "Didn't Lord Zhongtang say that they were just here to add coal to replenish supplies?" And let's not forget, they just signed a treaty with the imperial court. ”
"Hmph, Nebuchu, when did the Russians not harbor evil intentions? How long has it been since the capture of Vladivostok? The idea of fighting North Korea again! But now I can't even muster a few naval warships, where do we need so many big ships, I think they must be coming at us! Ye Zuqi snorted coldly, obviously not believing the Russians.
"What then? Lord Nakado has already agreed with the Russians, can it be said that we are rejecting people for thousands of miles? Doesn't this offend the Russians even more and give them an excuse to do it? Li He asked.
"Zixiang, why don't you speak?" In the hall, Ding Ruchang saw that several pipe bands expressed their opinions, but Liu Buyun didn't say a word after entering the hall, and couldn't help asking.
Liu Buyun raised his head, arched his hand to Ding Ruchang, and said solemnly: "My lord, forgive Buchan for being blunt, it is too late whether the Russians have evil intentions or not. Li He is right, since the imperial court and the Lord Zhongtang have promised the Russians, we can't change it, let alone stop them, so we can only give them an excuse to attack our Beiyang station. ”
"So I think" Liu Buyun glanced at everyone and said slowly: "At this moment, we should no longer discuss whether the Russians harbor evil intentions, but how to deal with them!" ”
"Strain!"
Ding Ruchang frowned, although he wasn't sure if the Russians would really take the opportunity to attack Lushun, but he still trusted Liu Buyun's vision.
And in this admiral hall, the person who knows Liu Buyun best is none other than Lin Taizeng, hearing what he said seriously, he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and immediately asked: "Zixiang, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Everyone also hurriedly looked at him, but in everyone's eyes, Liu Buyun shook his head and said: "Fight, you can't win, but if you want to block, you may not be able to." ”
"Oh? Zixiang say it quickly! As soon as he heard Liu Buyun say that there was hope to block it, Ding Ruchang stood up even more excitedly, and several other pipe bands also surrounded him.
Liu Buyun also knew that this moment was the key, and he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, so he immediately led everyone to the Lushun sand table in the corner of the lobby, pointed to the forts on both sides of the waterway and said: "The Lushun waterway is narrow, which is not conducive to the big ship to turn around, and there is the Golden Mountain Fort next to it, there are twenty-four German-made cannons, including five heavy guns, if the Russians want to fight hard, they will break a few of his teeth." ”
"But it's not enough to have a battery, it's dead after all, and we can't help but keep shelling, so we might as well lay a few torpedo boats here." Liu Buyun pointed to the tiger's tail on the side of the West Cockscomb Mountain near the waterway, and continued: "If the Russians really have bad intentions, we can use the fort to cover and then use the small boat to launch torpedoes at close range, their big ships can't turn around, if they can sink one or two ships to block the waterway, even if the Russians have the ability to turn the sky, they won't come in through the waterway for a while!" ”
"Yes, it's a good idea!" Lin Taizeng's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Li He next to him asked: "Brother Zixiang, if the Russians don't have bad intentions, what should they do if they really come to add coal?" ”
Liu Buyun raised his head, watched the half-round red leap out of the horizon, his eyes were as bright as knives, and he smiled slyly: "If the Russians really have bad intentions, they will definitely want to annihilate our Beiyang ships, so if we take the lead in passing through the waterway, we will say that it is a sea exercise, what do you say they will do?" ”
"It's definitely blocking us!" Ye Zuqi immediately replied.
"That's right!" Lin Tai once understood what Liu Buyun meant, and slapped his thigh suddenly: "I know, if the Russians have bad intentions, we can immediately retreat to the side of the Golden Mountain, use the cover of the battery, make up for the inferior firepower of our ships, and then use the small boat to bypass and disrupt their battle formation, even if we can't win, we have the opportunity to retreat to Weihaiwei." ”
After Lin Taizeng finished speaking, he immediately looked up at Ding Ruchang, and the others also found the abnormality, and hurriedly looked at the Beiyang Admiral, because they all knew that after the last naval battle, Lord Zhongtang had already proposed a strategy to protect the ship, and strictly ordered that all pipes were not allowed to go to sea without authorization, although Liu Buyun's plan was good, but it went against the will of the imperial court, if the Russians were not evil, then it would be another storm waiting for everyone.
Facing several pairs of eyes with different meanings, Ding Ruchang also knew what everyone was worried about, looked at the higher and higher Hongyue, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "My generation has reached the moment of life and death, I can't control it so much, if the Lord Zhongtang wants to investigate it in the future, I will bear it!" ”
"Everyone, go back to the ship and raise the anchor to prepare!"
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Ding Ruchang took a deep breath: "I'll go to Gong Zhaoyu now, and order him to personally go to Tiger Tail to supervise the torpedo boat formation, if the Russians really have evil intentions!" and I will let them know the power of my seas. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best to protect Lushun!"
Looking at the backs of those who walked out of the gate one by one, Ding Ruchang sighed in his heart, and then called his guards to ride horses and quickly ran towards the green camp stationed at Lushunkou-
When the sky is blazing, the sea breeze is howling.
On the Golden Mountain Fort, Wu Chang Min Cheng patted the thick German-made heavy artillery beside him, at this time a small cart drove past him, several huge shells were moved into the side of the gun base, looking at the cannon and hundreds of pounds of shells, he was suddenly arrogant, although he didn't know why the top suddenly ordered the artillery to be on guard, but he believed that as long as there were these heavy guns, no one would think about the idea of fighting Lushunkou.
In the distance in Port Arthur, black smoke had risen from the two ships in Yangding Town, and several cruisers gathered around them, as if they were about to go to sea, and in the distance at the tiger's tail, there were several torpedo boats waiting for something on the side.
Looking at this picture, Min Cheng couldn't help but think of the scene of flags waving in the harbor at the beginning of the Beiyang and ships like clouds, but for some reason, although there were only a few ships missing, it always gave people a desolate scene.
Originally, I wanted to look at it again, but at this time, a black smoke suddenly rose on the sea in the distance, and in the smoke, I saw a few giant ships that were several circles larger than the second ship of Dingzhen suddenly came into view, looking at these warships lined up as if they were about to enter the port, Min Cheng suddenly knew why he had to order vigilance!
"Get on the shells, get ready!"
As the captain shouted, the gunners, who were already nervous and dusty, immediately hoisted a cannonball, slowly filled the barrel, stuffed the propellant, and all looked nervously at the sudden appearance of the big ships, and their palms were sweating.
In Lushun Harbor under the muzzle, Ding Ruchang on the Dingyuan ship also saw the Russian ship formation on the horizon, looking at the formation like a rolling dragon, he was shocked at the same time, he also gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send a signal, leave the port!" ”
At the same moment, Wittheft was also standing on the bridge of the flagship Chesma, looking at the ice-free harbor waterway that His Majesty the Tsar had been thinking about for a long time, his face was excited, he knew that as long as the fleet entered the port, then this first military port in the Far East would become the second unsinkable fortress of Russia in the Far East after Vladivostok!
"Command." Wittheft was just about to order the ships to prepare, when several warships suddenly poured out of the originally empty waterway in his eyes, looking at the dragon flag flying high, the words of the order were suddenly held in his throat, what are these Qing [***] ships going to do?
Just when Wittheft's head was dizzy and he didn't understand what he saw these Beiyang wrecked ships doing, the Cossack protective cruiser at the front of the formation suddenly raised a flag, and the signal officer hurriedly translated when he saw this: "The Cossack reported that five main ships of the Beiyang Fleet were found and were preparing to leave along the waterway!" ”
"Leave!"
"Beiyang waved the flag, hoping that we would avoid it, and they would go to sea for exercises."
"Avoid?" Witthoeft's eyes widened, is it too much of a coincidence to go out to practice at this time? Could it be that the other party has discovered his intentions?!
But it doesn't matter, the size of the Russian Far East Fleet far exceeds that of Beiyang, so seeing that Beiyang actually wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, Wittheft jumped to his feet, completely tore off the disguise, and shouted: "Russian warriors, fight!" ”
As the flagship Chesma raised the battle flag, the Russian ships suddenly became a mess, and the people on the deck were busy, looking at the main guns of the Russian ships that began to turn in the telescope, Lin Taizeng's eyes were red, none of these foreign devils were trustworthy! Hurriedly shouted: "Does the flagship have an order?" ”
"Still, don't be the first to fire."
"Bastard!"
Lin Tai once scolded and shouted: "All artillery preparations, as long as you see the Russians firing cannons, stand." Before he finished speaking, the officers and men on the Zhenyuan ship heard several loud sounds, and saw several clouds of thick gunsmoke erupting from the bow of the Russian ship in the distance.
"My lord, the Russians have opened fire!"
"Then what are you waiting for, call me back!"
"Fire!"
The same shout burst out from several Beiyang battleships at the same time, and the first to fire was still the two ships in Dingzhen, and the shells of the Russian ships fell around, and the shock wave brought up made the hull of the ship shake, but even so, the main guns of each ship also fired the first round at the same time!
"Flagship order, move to the battery."
"Keep up, secondary fire."
As the Dingyuan hoisted the flags of each ship moving with the flagship, the five battleships that had been prepared for a long time gathered again and moved closer to the waters near the battery, while the Russian Far East Fleet on the opposite side also began to slow down after firing, and the few ships dragging behind began to speed up, preparing to encircle the Beiyang.
Suddenly, the sea at the mouth of the Port Arthur waterway sounded like thunder, and thick smoke billowed out.
After seeing this scene, Min Cheng's eyes on the Golden Mountain Fort were red, he didn't expect that he would see the nationality of these warships clearly, and the Russians would take the lead in firing, and immediately scolded!
"Russian devil, your grandma!"
"Fire!"
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the dust and smoke on the gun emplacement billowed out, and the black smoke brought up blackened the faces of several gunners in the blink of an eye, Min Cheng watched the shells fly down and explode more than ten meters away next to a Russian cruiser, and he was even more angry and stomped his feet, rolled up his sleeves and personally loaded the shells, while shouting: "Quick, go push the shells again!" ”
Min Cheng's first cannon made the entire Golden Mountain Fort roar, and huge shells fell from the top of the hill and smashed around the Russian fleet, splashing huge columns of water.
As the Russian ships got closer and closer, the secondary guns and rapid-fire firepower of both sides were also put into battle, looking at the Russian fleet that was far stronger than himself, Liu Buchan's eyes were bloodshot, and the Russians really didn't feel good! But just as he was about to give the order to continue the shelling, a 152-mm shell suddenly hit the bridge position, and a huge wave of air knocked him away with Ding Ruchang and others behind him.
"Boom!"
Even if there was no order, the Dingyuan secondary gun, which had already been prepared, also fired, and a ball of fireball exploded on the side like a blooming firework, two of which accurately hit the side of the Kremlin.
"Fire!"
Shells and flames erupted from the muzzles, as if the whole sea was on fire.
Standing in the flagship of the Chesma, Wittheft looked at the Beiyang Five ships that were hiding in the range of the battery, and stomped his feet and scolded fiercely: "These damn yellow pigs! It turns out that they already knew! So I want to use the battery as cover to make up for the weakness of the firepower! ”
But what's the use of knowing? A single battery can't stop the mighty Russian Far Eastern Fleet! "Order the Sinop, the Imperial Guard, Admiral Nasimov and Admiral Kornilov to suspend the attack fleet and take out the batteries with all their might!" Wittheft ordered with a sneer.
"Ready, open."
The Russian ship began to adjust, but on the Golden Mountain Battery, Min Cheng still didn't know that he had been targeted by the ship's guns, and just when he stuffed the third shell into the barrel and was about to open fire, a series of violent explosions suddenly exploded around, and the rubble smashed around the gun position, and suddenly a gunner who had no time to dodge tore it.
"Dog, come again!"
Rumble!
Min Cheng's artillery crew fired another shell, and this time he was not disappointed, the shell accurately hit the bow of a Russian cruiser, and immediately bit off a piece of the bow fiercely.
"Boom."
Without waiting for Min Cheng to get excited, he saw a large flame rising from the back deck of the Pingyuan, which was next to Dingyuan, and the violent explosion caused the entire stern of the Pingyuan to sink into the water.
"Fire! Fire! Protect the North Seas! ”
Seeing the tragic situation of the Pingyuan, every gunner on the fort had red eyes and fired desperately, hoping to help Beiyang under the cliff survive this catastrophe.
"Boom."
Lin Tai once looked at the Pingyuan, which was already doomed to sink, and his eyes were red. In the distance, the last few ironclad ships dragged by the Russian fleet began to accelerate, and they all rushed towards the mouth of the waterway, and he knew that if he was compressed back to Port Arthur by the other party, he was afraid that he would not even have a chance to break through, so he suddenly shouted in a hurry: "Contact the flagship and tell them that the Russians will block us back in the port!" ”
"Be careful!"
But before his order came out of the bridge, the guards around him shouted and flew up and pressed Lin Taizeng under him, and an explosion rose from the foredeck of the Zhenyuan, just listening to the sound, Lin Taizeng knew that this was at least the power of a 305 mm shell.
Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, the long snake formation of the Russian fleet finally closed up and began to aim all its guns at the Beiyang!
"My lord, flagship......, flagship."
Before he had time to think about how to break through the Russian encirclement, Lin Taizeng, whose face was covered in blood, had just gotten up from the ground when he heard the first mate shouting violently, and hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, but after only one glance, his whole eyes were red!
I saw that the three ironclad ships at the head of the Russians had formed a semi-encirclement of the Dingyuan, and had broken through to within a thousand meters, which meant that no matter how bad the Russians' gunnery was, they could easily hit the Dingyuan.
Sure enough, several huge fireballs rose from the Dingyuan, and in less than a moment, the Beiyang flagship was already scarred, and its speed had dropped a lot!
"Zixiang!" Lin Tai once screamed in pain, and a layer of fog appeared in his eyes.
"My lord, what now!"
Lin Taizeng took a breath, forcibly took his gaze away from Dingyuan, and looked around.
Due to the premeditated sudden attack of the Russians, the speed of the artillery is also faster, and the most important thing is that the mouth of the waterway is narrow, the distance between the two fleets is too close, there is no room for maneuver at all, at present Beiyang has been completely surrounded, fortunately there is artillery support to avoid immediate collapse, but the deck of the Pingyuan, which took the lead in the fire, has begun to sink, and the two gunboats in the town and east of the town around it have also been blocked by two small Russian cruisers, and the dense artillery fire continues to hit the two ships, and it will not work.
Moreover, the Russians also adjusted their firepower and sent four large ships to suppress the battery with all their might, if there are no surprise soldiers at this time, I am afraid that Beiyang will be finished!
"What about the torpedo boats with Tiger Tail? Why haven't you come yet? ”
At this time, Lin Tai suddenly remembered several torpedo boats arranged in the tail of the tiger, if the torpedo boats can use the high speed to intersperse and disrupt the formation of the Russian ships at this time, then there is still a chance to break through!
But when he raised his binoculars to check the situation of the tiger's tail behind him, that scene made him stunned! I saw that several torpedo boats in ambush at the tail of the tiger turned around and ran to the depths of the harbor!
"Gong Zhaoyu, I'll your grandma!"
On the Dingyuan, Liu Buyun also saw the scene of the torpedo boat formation leaving, clenched his fists, and his teeth were about to be crushed!
The old ironclad ship under his feet has gradually lost its speed, Pingyuan is about to sink, Zhenyuan is even more taken care of by two large Russian ships, the rest of the ships are also scarred, and the suppressed battery next to it has gradually lost its ability to support, and more importantly, the torpedo boats that were originally used as miracle soldiers all escaped, and all of them cut off Beiyang's way of life at once!
"What to do!"
Just when he was most worried, the tail gun of the Zhenyuan, which had been pressed and beaten, suddenly burst into flames, and recently, a flame rose from the chimney of the second-class battleship Admiral Nasimov, a Russian ship that had just been reinforced, and then he saw a burst of skyrocketing fire erupt in the middle of the nearly 10,000-ton warship!
Good!
Liu Buyun shouted, watching the Admiral Nasimov gradually slow down and withdraw from the battle circle, and shouted in his heart! It's been so long, and it's finally a lesson for the Russians! However, even if the Admiral Nasimov withdraws, it may not be so simple to break through.
At this time, a fire ball also rose on the Jiyuan, and the Admiral Nasimov withdrew from the battle circle, but opened up space for the Russian ships behind, and the artillery fire was suddenly concentrated on the Jiyuan!
"Zixiang, what now!" Next to him, Ding Ruchang looked at the sinking Pingyuan and the Jiyuan with firelight, his eyes were also a little flustered, and he looked at the Russian fleet around him, his hands trembled slightly.
Looking at the posture of the Russians, he knew that the Russians wanted to completely annihilate the Beiyang Naval Division, so the only thing to do at this moment was not to consume here, and he had to break through immediately!
Liu Buyun looked at the only Zhenyuan that was still complete, and then looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the distance, and suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted to Ding Ruchang: My lord, you go to Zhenyuan, I will cover your breakthrough! ”
After speaking, he suddenly shouted again: "Let Jiyuan give up the entanglement, go all out to follow the movement of our ship, and cover the breakthrough of Zhenyuan!" ”
Listening to Liu Buyun's order, Ding Ruchang looked at him blankly, turned his head and looked at the Russian [***] ship that was so close outside that he could even see people's faces, and suddenly walked to Liu Buchan's side, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Come here, protect Lord Liu, and send him to Zhenyuan." ”
"Lord Admiral, you."
Liu Buyun's eyes widened, as if he didn't know the Beiyang Admiral, his mouth opened wide and his eyes were surprised, until Ding Ruchang's personal soldiers dragged him out fiercely, and then shouted violently: "My lord, let go of me." ”
Looking at Liu Buyun, who was forcibly dragged away, Ding Ruchang's eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted: "Beiyang has no self, but it can't be without Zixiang and Kaishi!" After speaking, he suddenly shook the braid at the back of his head, coiled it around his neck, and shouted: "Russian hair, let me meet you!" Fire! ”。
Ding Ruchang's actions aroused the fighting spirit of everyone on the Dingyuan, and all the artillery fire in the sky blasted towards the Peter the Great who blocked the town! The two ships also seemed to have gone crazy, ignoring the defense at all, and rushed straight towards the Chesma!
The three ships were so frightened that the Chesma hurriedly dodged, and Wittheft was also full of vegetables, but he didn't expect these Beiyang sailors to dare to charge even though they were at an obvious disadvantage, so frightened that they waved their hands again and again to order the ships to intercept.
The dodge of the Chesma involved the entire Russian ship formation, and the three ships of Dingyuan successfully cut between them and Zhenyuan, but the excitement did not last long, and the already damaged Laiyuan After this charge, the hull of the ship suddenly broke into two sections, and sank to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
"My lord, Dingyuan is coming up with Jiyuan!"
Looking at Dingyuan and Jiyuan, who leaned on the left flank, Lin Taizeng's tears filled his eyes in an instant, last time he helped Dingyuan block the artillery fire, and now it is Dingyuan who helps him block the artillery fire, but the result is very different!
said that his cannon was small, and he couldn't cause substantial damage to himself at the beginning, but now the Russians are all cannons, and Dingyuan, who is already scarred, is by no means as lucky as he was last time!
Liu Buchan!
He is using his life to block the muzzle of the cannon for himself!
"Isn't it just death! It's a big deal! ”
Lin Tai gritted his teeth and was about to raise the flag to let the Dingyuan dodge, when a steamboat suddenly got out of the Dingyuan and quickly approached the Zhenyuan, which was in the shadow of Dingyuan, temporarily avoiding the shelling.
Lin Taizeng hurriedly looked, but soon couldn't retract his gaze, only to see Liu Buyun being supported by several personal soldiers, followed by Wu Yingke, and quickly boarded his Zhenyuan.
"Zixiang! Over there?! ”
"Let go of me, let me go back, I can't leave Lord Ding behind!" Liu Buyun, who was put on the shelf far away, shouted, his eyes full of tears. "My lord, Lord Ding, this is to keep the roots of Beiyang! Don't let him down! One of the soldiers shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Root!"
Looking at Dingyuan, who began to sink but still insisted on fighting back, and looked at the Beiyang Naval Division, which was already in a complete collapse, Liu Buyun burst into tears and knelt on the deck silently.
Lin Taizeng was already in tears, he didn't expect that at the moment of life and death in Beiyang, Lord Ding Ruchang, who they had always looked down on and secretly laughed at him as an army landlubber, would actually take the initiative to take over the task of covering and protect himself and Liu Buyun from leaving!
"My lord, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
Looking at the Dingyuan number, which was clinging to his side like a magnet and was on fire to block most of the artillery fire for himself, Lin Taizeng, who had come to his senses in the reminder of his subordinates, suddenly drew his command knife and howled sadly: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
Seeing the fire in Dingyuan, listening to the roar of the pipe band, the Zhenyuan suddenly turned into an angry bull, and one shell after another continued to hit the nearest Peter the Great and the Duke of Edinburgh like eyes.
The only remaining Jingyuan also followed Zhenyuan's side, blocking the artillery fire for it while clash outward!
On the Chesma, Withoeft trembled with anger when he saw Peter the Great and the Duke of Edinburgh avoiding, but unfortunately he couldn't bypass Dingyuan on his side, so he had to order the three protective cruisers on the periphery to pursue them immediately, and at the same time vent all his anger on the Dingyuan and Jiyuan, which had begun to sink.
On the fort, Min Cheng watched Zhenyuan and Jingyuan rushing up like mad cows with fire all over their bodies, trembling with excitement, and when he saw three Russian cruisers following closely, he immediately jumped to his feet and shouted: "Quick, hurry up and get on the shell!" Help Zhenyuan break through! ”
Who would have thought that he shouted for a long time, but he didn't see a single shell filled into the barrel, so he quickly turned his head to look, only to find that the surroundings were already in tatters, only his cannon was left alone, and the gun position was already empty!
"Beiyang is over!"
Min Cheng stared blankly, a sour feeling suddenly appeared in his nose, looking at the three Russian cruisers that were still biting behind Zhen Yuan, and slowly knelt down on the fort, covering his face with his hands, tears dripping down his black cheeks on the stone steps.
A huge explosion came from under the cliff, whether it was Lin Taizeng, Liu Buyun, who had already fled far away, or Min Chengcheng, who was alone on the fort, didn't look at it, because they all knew that the explosion came from there......
(To be continued)
