Regarding the difficult situation that the teammates and compatriots in Surabaya City are currently facing, do they know about the five people including Yang Dongli, God of Wealth, Xu Feng, Team Zheng, and Fenghuahui?

Of course I know, and I know very well and I am anxious about it.

It's just that a lot of things can't be solved in a hurry.

The difficulties they are facing, and the specific situation, need to rewind the time a little bit, back to 2:17.

At this time, the three ironclad battleships, which had long run out of coal and were already small benches and table legs burning in the boilers, finally appeared outside the port.

It was also for this reason that the speed of the battleship gradually slowed down, because the pressure in the boiler was not enough.

So much so that only five or six miles behind him, the two cruisers of the Northern Yang Naval Division, Zhiyuan and Laiyuan, had already caught up side by side.

In the harbor, two were as old as they were, but the tonnage looked a little bigger.

In terms of about tonnage, there were two more ironclad battleships of three or four hundred tons.

There were already several small warships, and while pointing their guns at this side, they were constantly waving flags on a flagship:

Quickly stop moving, identify yourself, lower the muzzle of the gun, and put on the cannon, or they will open fire immediately.

"Order, fire with all your strength at these battleships, and sink the flagship of the Lotus Devil first~" Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Dongli issued such an order in his mouth.

Immediately, several main guns of the fleet, which had long been loaded with shells.

Xiaomei, Fenghuahui and others temporarily acted as the commander of the gun, and adjusted the muzzle of the cannon in the order they issued, and beckoned the cannonball out.

This is also the cannon sound that Yu Hanfeng and the singer and others heard before the battle with the Duran people began.

It's just that after issuing the order, Yang Dongli did not pay attention to the results of the shelling.

But for the first time, with a heavy frown and a serious expression, he looked at Zhiyuan and Laiyuan in the position behind him, and the two cruisers looked over.

The reason for Yang Dongli to be like this is very simple:

If these two cruisers don't attack, the Xuange Battalion fleet still has some possibility to defeat the Dutch fleet in a short period of time, and then provide fire support to the shore.

But if these two ships, which were bigger and more powerful than them, attacked in the rear, they would have no chance of winning.

There is even a great possibility that the entire fleet will be wiped out here.

So the only place he can count on now is the famous Deng Guandai, who can live up to the prestige of the national heroes of later generations; For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese compatriots in the city, they can not attack from behind.

So how will Deng Guandao choose......

"Lord Deng, Qiu Baoren and Lord Qiu on the Laiyuan once again asked with the flag, saying that his ship was ready to open fire; The current fighter plane is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it will definitely be able to completely destroy the rebels of the Xuange battalion in one battle.

Lafayette, Your Majesty, Li Zhongtang, and the princes of the imperial court will be extremely happy to receive this news; In the future, the two of you and I will soar in the future, and it will definitely be just around the corner. ”

When the herald beside him, he had an extremely complicated expression.

With a fast speed of speech, after saying the above paragraph, which almost made Qiu Baoren's personal selfishness not concealed at all.

In Deng Guandao's heart, he was suddenly filled with unspeakable anxiety.

He naturally knew that the existence of the Xuange Battalion fleet was definitely a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh for the Daqing Imperial Court.

If you can exterminate it here, you can really do what Qiu Baoren said, and after you go back, you will be promoted to an official and make a fortune.

On the contrary, if the fighters are missed, the Xuange Battalion fleet cannot be solved; After going back, he will be dealt with by the imperial court, and if he doesn't do well, he will be dismissed.

But about everything that was happening in Surabaya City, he had already learned a lot about it through the clear report of the telegram.

Knowing that these three scarred battleships of the Xuange camp were already the last hope for those people.

Can you bear to watch these hundreds of thousands of compatriots suffer a catastrophe?

In the end, Deng Guandao still couldn't convince himself, and for the sake of his personal future, he actually allowed the tragedy in front of him to happen.

solemnly, he said to the herald beside him:

"Immediately tell Laiyuan in the flag language that I, Deng Shichang, am the leader of the formation, and I order them not to fire artillery without my order.

If the court pursues it afterwards, I will bear everything by myself. ”

The sound of 'chirp~' immediately sounded from the herald's mouth, full of indescribable relief.

In fact, the herald himself did not know why he was so happy; If you have to find a reason for his reaction.

That is, they do not want their compatriots in Surabaya City to lose their last chance to survive.

And I really don't want to, so I can't shoot at those gray-haired old soldiers of the Xuange Battalion.

It's true that they are pirates and traitors, but they have never slaughtered or plundered Daqing? In the play, these are some heroes like Liang Shanbo, who do the right thing for heaven and rob the rich and help the poor.

******

In the following time, Qiu Baoren on the Lai Yuan was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

However, the two strongest cruisers in the entire battlefield finally stopped four miles away from the battlefield and did not take the initiative to attack from behind the Xuange Battalion fleet.

Just on the two battleships, hundreds of Beiyang fleets looked in anticipation.

The battle of the Xuange battalion fleet did not go very smoothly.

First of all, they admit that the accuracy of the naval guns on the camp is quite amazing, and after each salvo, one or two rounds hit the target.

Smoke billowed the flagship of the Dutch Blues, and the entire upper deck suffered heavy casualties.

The problem is that the 210 mm caliber cannon they used above them is seriously outdated and backward in this year.

Not only was it very slow in terms of rate of fire, but the other side fired two shots, and they didn't call out a single shot.

Even if you hit the opponent, because the opponent is also an ironclad ship, there is really no way to sink the opponent quickly.

More crucially, in the batteries on the shore, a total of a dozen old Krupp cannons, Armstrong cannons, also joined the battle.

Some of these cannons are even old antiques that use old-fashioned black powder.

But the smallest caliber of them is also 150 mm, because the power of the Xuange battalion fleet is not small.

For a time, far more intensive artillery fire counterattacked from the fleet of the Dutch people and the shore defense batteries, hitting the Xuange battalion fleet.

That is, in the Xuange Battalion fleet, this famous turtle shell warship, the protection is strong enough, and after receiving several shells in a row, the hull has not suffered much loss.

It's a pity that everyone can see a point:

I'm afraid that the Xuange Battalion fleet will not be able to solve these Dulands in a short period of time.

In Surabaya City, after they looked from a distance from the boat, they could see fires in many parts of the city, and black smoke rose to a high level, which was completely an apocalyptic scene.

Thinking of the scene of the compatriots in the city, who are currently being killed by the natives like pigs and dogs, the sailors felt very aggrieved.

It was at this point that the situation changed again.

I saw that a few miles away on the shore, suddenly a firelight that could be seen clearly in the daytime suddenly rose and rose high.

Then, they found that the Xuange Battalion fleet was rushing into the harbor under dense artillery fire in the billowing smoke.

Just when everyone was still wondering what these people were thinking, would they die?

The lookouts on the Zhiyuan and Laiyuan were already yelling in their mouths: "The other party's flagship Guifei is waving the flag to us, and the content is:

Lord Deng, the prince of the Northern Yang Fleet.

At present, the situation in Surabaya City is already at a critical juncture, and our fleet has decided to move forward under the fire of the Dutch people, and open fire with all its strength to attack the natives in the city and save the compatriots of our flower family in the city.

This kind of tactic, our fleet should persist in a short time, and it will be completely wiped out.

I hope that for the sake of planting flowers, after we and the whole army are destroyed, you will open artillery to save the compatriots in Surabaya City; Up and down the Xuange camp, never forget the love of today's shot. ”

When the above flag words were read later, the watchmen even trembled.

They were all shocked by the old soldiers of the Xuange camp, who did not care about their own safety and fully supported the city.

When these words fell on the ears of a group of Beiyang sailors, they instinctively looked at the command tower of the Zhiyuan.

I hope that my beloved Deng Guandao and Master Deng can do something with themselves.

Finally, they heard their own Lord Deng in their ears, and this roar came out of their mouths: "Target the Dutch fleet, fire the cannon ......"
