80. Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea (1)

The gunboats of the Nanyang Naval Division were still unhurried to launch artillery, and around the three cruisers that had lost their speed, the Chinese did not want money to launch torpedoes, and the torpedoes exploded one after another, and the sea surface in this area was like boiling water, constantly splashing, and these three cruisers were trapped by torpedoes and continued to become the targets of the Nanyang Naval Division.

"How can they have torpedoes!" The captain who was rushing to the front shouted, "Isn't this something only the Russians and the British have!" ”

"Your Excellency, Captain!" The herald rushed into the command room, "The cabin on the third left is already leaking!" ”

"Block it now!" He decisively ordered, at this time the three cruisers were stubbornly continuing to advance, "The power of the torpedo is not so great, we can't be silent here, hold on a little longer," at this time, a cannonball exploded on the top of the command room, after the roar, the people in the command room were shocked to the ground, and the captain struggled to get up, "The main thing is to protect the powder magazine, turn the rudder, and shoot back!" ”

The three cruisers that were in the vanguard position finally reached the side with black smoke, and after they turned the rudder, they finally exposed the side of the ship on the right, "Launch!" The captain lifted his hat and said fiercely, "Let the Chinese taste us!" ”

I don't know how to taste this taste, but I can see that one of the three cruisers is slowly making an explosion sound, slowly sinking, and in this moment, another cruiser was sunk, but at this time, most of the French North Vietnamese fleet caught up. On the south side of the three cruisers, he quickly rushed out of the ironclad ship "Psius", he did not turn sideways to shoot in the side direction, but like a giant shark, led several small-tonnage cruisers, suddenly broke through the battle line of the Nanyang Naval Division, and did not need to turn the rudder to calmly open fire quickly on both sides, several warships of the Nanyang Naval Division on the left and right wings were immediately hit, and a mosquito gunboat hit three or two times, broke into two, and quickly sank into the sea with thick smoke.

"Good!" Gu Ba saw this scene in the battlefield with a telescope, "Perfect, we just want to give full play to the expertise of our advanced navy!" The ship he was on also received the cordial greeting of the torpedo, and couldn't help but shake a little, but continued to move forward without any effect, "All the warships will attack together immediately!" He continued to give orders, "Break through the battle line of the Chinese, break through each other!" ”

The battle situation slowly slipped towards the unfavorable side of the Chinese, the Nanyang naval division with slightly smaller tonnage and slightly weaker firepower was finally broken through the battle line after the French sacrificed two cruisers, and the French warships rushed into the formation of the Chinese fleet in anger and began to slaughter, but in the blink of an eye, several small gunboats of the Nanyang naval division were sunk, and the ironclad ships with a series of ships such as cruisers formed a fleet for artillery battles, although there was a torpedo effect, but this melee no longer dared to release torpedoes.

Wu Changqing shook his head, "The gunboats prepared in the back are also on board, there is no need for reserves at this time, success or failure is here!" ”

The cruiser "Jingqing", the main ship, raised the flag, "The whole army is together, and serving the country is today!" ”

"Serving the country is today!"

Wu Changqing gave this order, the big guys all know that the time for the decisive battle has come, and there is no place to retreat, the naval division is different from the army, if the army wants to escape, there is still a chance, but on the vast sea, there is nowhere to go, only to move forward, never retreat, the warships sounded a terrible whistle one after another, indicating that they had received Wu Changqing's order, and there was no time to call people back, This is the only way to declare yourself to the death! All the Chinese warships in Haiphong Harbor let out a terrible whistle, and this battle will depend on who wins and who loses the South Sea Naval Division and the North Vietnamese Fleet!

Wu Changqing stood up straight, there was no expression on his resolute face, but his left eyelid was twitching from time to time, he knew very well that these young officers and soldiers of the Navy Division would sleep in Haiphong Harbor forever after this battle, but he hoped that as few people would die as little as possible! He issued an order for the cruiser "Jingqing" to quickly step forward to participate in the battle, but he turned his head and looked at the sea area in the northeast corner, where the sea and sky were colorful, and it seemed very quiet and unfazed, "Be quick!" He cried out in his heart, "Be quick! ”

The French warships outside Thang Long finally reappeared, and with the French navy in their formation, the soldiers defending the city were emboldened, and won a great victory over the Black Flag Army at the north gate on the river beach, and the Black Flag Army was once again forced to retreat towards the hills to the west because of the attack from both sides. There is no safety problem in Thang Long Mansion for the time being, but the fire on both sides of the river has not been extinguished for a while, black smoke is billowing out, the water of the Red River is red, and the Thang Long Mansion is ruined, and the whole scene is as miserable as the end times. Liu Yongfu raised his head and looked at the Thang Long Mansion, the French soldiers on the city wall were cheering for victory, "Laugh, sing," Liu Yongfu waved his hand to let everyone leave here, temporarily rested and hid in the mountains and forests, "Then there will be time for you to cry!" As long as this plan can be successful! We're almost done, it's up to them! He said to Tang Jingsong on the side, comforting himself and praying to the heavens, "God have mercy, this thing must be done!" ”

Pingxiang City in Zhennan Guan, Zeng Guoquan is receiving the new commander of the new army and the two towns, because it is a wartime banquet without any preparation, Gao Xinkui sits in Guilin to dispatch grain and grass, Zeng Guoquan is here to hook up with the new army who came here, he personally checked the camp and logistics support of the new army, and then after the seventh town and the ninth town settled down, Wang Puyu, the capital of the seventh town, and Zhang Shanming, the deputy commander of the left army of the ninth town, came to see Zeng Guoquan in person, after the two became famous, Zeng Guoquan was quite strange, "The military newspaper explained that Lord Li, the capital of the ninth town, also came together, Why don't you see it today? ”

"So that the Governor will know," replied Wang Puyu, the Governor of the Seventh Town, "and Lord Li has already left the customs ahead of time." ”

"Got out early?" Zeng Guoquan was a little confused, "But isn't the army still here?" ”

"The combat methods of the Ninth Town are different from those of the new army of other towns, Li Dutong led the elite division of the Ninth Town, in order to quietly enter the battle in advance, there is no time to rest here." Wang Puyu, the commander of the seventh town, said with a smile, "The rest of the generals of the headquarters will be led by the lower officials, rest for a few days, and go to the front line of Langsheng.
