Faced with Tepchin's statement that he had withdrawn to Shengjing City first, Shengbao immediately smiled bitterly:

"We are in the dark, those rebels are in the dark, and this place is also hundreds of miles away from Shengjing, and many people will also be killed by black guns along the way.

Did you take the initiative to withdraw your troops and go back in disgrace.

But don't forget what the situation is now, both of you and me; If the troops are withdrawn at this point, who can please Xianfeng Ye and the imperial court. ”

Under Shengbao's statement, Tepchin also smiled bitterly.

The former Shengbao, since the defeat in the last Battle of Bali Bridge, has not been held accountable by the imperial court, and has escaped such a catastrophe by virtue of the fact that he was injured in the battle that day.

If you are defeated again this time and flee, and let the Xuange Camp and Tianshui Gouzi continue to grow outside the pass, I am afraid that the end will be quite miserable.

And Tepqin himself, the land under his command has just been ceded by Maozi in the "Sino-Mao Jingshi Treaty".

Even if the responsibility for this one thing is mainly in the imperial court and Xianfeng Ye; But over the years, Hei*Jiang has been continuously infiltrated by Maozi, and he, a general, has also occupied part of the responsibility.

Anyway, the result of this battle will be another big defeat, or a big defeat with such a large military advantage.

After the court blamed him, his official functions were swept to the end, leaving a small life to live, which was already the greatest luck.

After some thought, in the wry smile of Tepchin, Katsuho gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"In my opinion, it is better to continue to speed up tomorrow, and if there are cavalry of the Eight Banners who do not obey the order to go around to guard, then they will be dealt with by military law.

It depends on whether they are willing to be cut down by us and their families to be enslaved from now on, or whether they are willing to die honorably in battle.

As long as we hold on for a few more days of casualties, when we arrive in Liaodong, we will find the lair of these people.

At that time, if these people don't want their families to be served by us, they can only fight us head-on; They can't just run away with a single shot, and we can take advantage of the advantage of the army to kill all of them in the hundreds.

At the same time, he also told the soldiers that after laying the camp of Tianshui Ditch, they would not seal the knife~"

Under the influence of his official position and future, after hearing this, Tepchin quickly made a decision in his heart, and said resolutely:

"It's come to the point where it can only be so.

However, it is necessary to be on guard at night, and the cannons are set up in the camp; If it is good, they will come to shoot black guns in the evening. ”

Katsubo nodded with some hatred and said solemnly

"That's nature, and tonight I'll personally lead the vigil; As long as they dare to appear, they will bombard the ...... of the special mother with a cannon."

In this way, after a day of harassment and a fairly tight camp, a group of exhausted soldiers went to bed early after dinner.

It's just that in secret, Shengbao secretly alerted the elites, and put on a posture of tightening on the outside and loosening on the inside.

It's a pity that they waited until the second half of the night, and those people from the Xuange camp didn't show up at all, and this night was incomparably calm.

It's as if you have seen through their arrangement and don't dare to come at all.

Actually? Thinking about fart, how could Yang Dongli and the others not take the opportunity to sneak attack.

You must know that after Yang Dongli has experienced many missions, they have a strong individual combat ability; In terms of special operations such as infiltration, assassination, and black shooting, the level is as high as seven or eight floors.

In previous missions, the performance in this regard was not very impressive.

The fundamental reason is just because of the deliberate restrictions of the system, and there is no way for them to play freely like this time.

Now that I finally encountered this kind of good opportunity, where is there anything to let go easily.

They did not shoot in the first half of the night, on the one hand, they were recuperating their strength and spirit; On the other hand, it's just that they don't look down on the killing effect of black guns and want to do something bigger.

This is not! After three o'clock in the morning, their operation officially began.

Lao Hei, Huang Yizhi, Ah Li, Han Jiang, Yuan Hai, and Lao Snake were divided into two groups; Carrying two big buckets, he quietly touched the distance within 100 meters of the Qingjun camp.

With careful movements, he quietly dug a pit and erected the large barrel of the conscienceless cannon.

Finally, at four o'clock, accompanied by two loud roars before and after, two 20-kilogram explosive packets successfully smashed into the barracks after drawing an arc in the dark night.

At the moment when the explosives bag flew out, Han Jiang and Yuanhai, who were wearing gloves, each carried a large bucket and ran away with the others quickly.

And Shengbao, who was red-eyed, and Tepchin and others who had just been woken up.

After rushing to the location of the explosion, he looked at the terrifying crater on the ground.

and tattered tents, stumps and severed arms near the pit; A little farther away, there were no wounds on their bodies, but they were constantly spitting blood, and they couldn't live when they saw it.

Under the great horror, a heart in my heart continued to fall rapidly towards the abyss.

It's a pity that they have no choice but to know that in this battle, they have no chance to turn back except for continuing to move forward and seeking a decisive battle with the Xuange camp......

******

When: March 20, just after 1 noon.

At this time when there are only 11 days left before the side quest of the Demon Capital Squad, the mission deadline is about to expire.

After six days of sailing, the Xuange fleet finally completed a journey of more than 1,800 miles and arrived outside the port of Victoria in the port city.

It's such a small distance, but it takes so long.

Mainly on the way over, on the one hand, the fleet was constantly cooperating with the exercises, and it was regarded as conducting drills one by one for many maritime subjects.

On the other hand, the port city, as the logistics base of the current Great Yin Empire fighting everywhere in the east, is already quite prosperous.

Coupled with the nearby Yangcheng, foreign trade is now quite developed.

Therefore, the closer you get to the port city, the more merchant ships of all kinds increase.

In order to form the Xuange Battalion fleet of these three ironclad warships, even if the concubines worked hard to operate in the magic capital, they had almost spent the last copper plate on hand, and now they were so poor that they were tinkling.

After seeing these merchant ships, what are you waiting for?

Of course, after driving at full power, they rushed all the way towards these merchant ships, which were still powered by sails.

And a group of merchant ships, even some armed merchant ships with a certain amount of defensive power, saw the ironclad warship with metal reflections all over the ship under the sun, emitting black smoke and rushing towards them like a monster on the sea.

The captain above was almost not scared to pee at that time.

At that time, the only option was to flee as much as possible under the full sails.

But after burning the boilers to the maximum, the ironclad battleship reached 18 knots, and in the face of the sailing ships of this age, the terrifying speed was enough to make them despair.

There was no suspense at all, and they were soon caught up after.

They didn't use a 150 mm gun to fire, they just used a 20 mm Gatling to shoot a bullet at them.

Under a splash of sawdust from the deck superstructure, the merchant ships wisely hoisted their white flags.

Then, naturally, after Hu Biao and the others boarded the ship, they found that if it was Daqing's boat, they symbolically collected three or five hundred taels of silver, and then let the people go directly.

With their full load, it was only six or seven knots.

There is no need to worry about going to the port city in advance to report the news, thus exposing the news that they are in the past.

But if it is the ship of the foreign devils, no matter which one Guo Jia is, the people who do not have the slightest good impression of these powers will all tie up and lock up most of the people, and a small number of people will follow under the escort.

What to do after that, wait until the operation of the port city is completed.

So at such a time now, in addition to the three ironclad battleships of the Xuange Battalion fleet.

Behind them, a total of eleven merchant ships captured by them, all of which floated outside the port of Victoria, looked like they were already quite powerful.

At the same time, the Yin army on the shore saw the suddenly arrived unknown fleet, and the skull flag of the Xuange battalion fluttering on the mast.

Once for them, the terrifying memory rose again, and suddenly the whole city was in a flurry of bells, extremely panicked......
