At three o'clock on November 2, the forty-second year of Kangxi, the advance fleet had already set off for an hour and a half, and Liu Shuangcheng, who had already been a little unable to sit still, arrived at the main cabin of the flagship, although his face was still calm, but his eyes showed a trace of nervousness, looking at the fourteen Baylor Yinyu who was sitting firmly in front of the sea map, and said very politely: "Dashuai, according to the hour, even if Qiao Hailong fails to attract the Japanese sailors, it should be time to return here, and now the ship still hasn't appeared. ”

"Huh?" Yinyu raised his head from the chart, looked at Liu Shuangcheng and didn't speak, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If Qiao Hailong enters the harbor, what chance is there to break out of the siege of the Japanese sailors?" ”

"Seventy percent, but even if it rushes out, I'm afraid that the hull will be damaged." Liu Shuangcheng said with certainty.

Yinyu paced back and forth in the cabin for a few steps, a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, he walked to the chart and pointed, and said coldly: "Order, the main fleet is divided into two ways, Lord Liu led the forward fleet to Nagasaki from this route, be sure to block the harbor, this marshal personally led the main force to move eastward, if the Japanese naval division has been attracted out, this marshal will let him come and go, if the Japanese naval division does not move, this marshal will lead the main force to join you outside the harbor and storm Nagasaki." ”

Although Liu Shuangcheng was not very confident about Yinyu's naval battle command ability, he was also a little helpless now, and then thought that with such a huge strength of the Great Qingshui Division, even if the command ability was insufficient, it was enough to wipe out the Japanese naval division that had left the port, so he did not argue, answered the promise, walked out, changed to a small boat to the forward fleet, and gave an order, leading ten large warships and thirteen medium-sized warships to set sail along the predetermined route to Nagasaki Port, and a moment later, the main fleet also set sail and moved eastward.

At noon, the early winter sun shines warmly on the earth, the people of Motegi Town have lunch, are leisurely basking in the sun, there is no entertainment in this agricultural season, a group of children gather together to spend the day, children are frolicking and running on the beach, a scene of farmhouse, not far from the sea several small fishing boats are casting nets to fish, everything is normal, and it is no different from weekdays, suddenly several cannons rang out, the peace was broken, and the small boats that were fishing splashed high water columns, An unlucky fishing boat was blown into flying debris, and the remaining boats rowed desperately towards the shore, and the people who were idle were stunned, stopped their meaningless nonsense, and looked in the direction of the sea, and a group of children who were playing on the beach looked at the large number of huge ships emerging from the sea level in the distance, completely forgetting their fear.

Li Ke stood on the front deck of the flagship with a serious face, glanced at Xiao Sanlang beside him, and said: "General Xiao, the arrival time of our army is already a moment later than expected, and now it is time to land, please General Xiao to cover for our army's landing." ”

Although Xiao Sanlang is a general of the Navy Division and has no affiliation with Li Ke, after all, the official rank is several levels lower than Li Ke, and the delay of the army is completely the responsibility of the Navy Division. ”

"No need." Li Ke waved his hand angrily and said, "This commander's subordinates will land under General Xiao's artillery fire." Xiao Saburo had no choice but to nod in agreement, waved his hand, and gave the order for the artillery bombardment - Motegi Town was originally not defended by the Dongying army, and the reason why the bombardment was just part of Yinzuo's order for the navy to carry out a wartime beach landing exercise.

With Xiao Sanlang's order, more than 20 warships slowly crossed the hull and unified the starboard side to the beach, with a wave of the flag, hundreds of artillery guns were fired one after another, and the shells exploded on the beachhead like rain, and suddenly the cannon roared, and the water and sand in the beach and the coastal sea exploded, and in the sound of artillery fire, nearly 40 transport ships put down hundreds of small boats full of soldiers, and rushed towards the beach. The group of battleships constantly changed formation, and the roar of the ship's guns extended from near to far in turn, but in a few moments, hundreds of small boats that had rushed to land on the beach had already approached the beach, and the soldiers who had already been ready jumped out of the waist-deep sea water at the command of the officer, rushed up to the beach with difficulty, and quickly occupied various important places.

In a few moments, most of the soldiers had already landed, and their movements were skillful and sophisticated, but there was not a trace of joy on Li Ke's face—it was a full quarter of a minute later than the landing time required by the plan, and although it would not delay the fighters because of this quarter of an hour, the delay time was an indisputable fact. Seeing that the baggage had also begun to be loaded ashore, Li Ke looked at Xiao Sanlang and said, "This marshal will go ashore, and General Xiao can cover the rear flank of our army here according to the predetermined order." As soon as the words fell, no matter how ugly Xiao Sanlang's face was, he took care of himself and got off the skiff and headed towards the shore. Xiao Sanlang didn't get a fight, and he was still angry, and he was already uncomfortable, and when he saw Li Ke going, he was stunned for a while, and stomped his feet and went back to the main cabin to sulk.

"Marshal, our army has occupied Motegi Town, except for three soldiers who broke their feet when rushing to the beach, there were no casualties, and more than 400 Japanese people were captured, how to deal with it, please make it clear to the marshal, and another merchant claims that Liu San wants to see the marshal." As soon as Li Ke landed ashore, one of his bearded ginseng generals immediately came over to report the situation.

"This is an important place for our army's logistics, and those wastes are left for use, in addition to bringing Liu San over, and let Vice General Liang also come here." Li Ke replied expressionlessly. The bearded ginseng general saw that Li Ke's face was not good, and hurriedly answered yes, and hurriedly ran and went away.

"You're Liu San?" Deputy General Liang Ize looked at a lean man dressed as a Japanese man in front of him and asked.

Liu San didn't answer, but just took out a map from his arms and handed it to Liang Ize along with half a copper plate. Liang Size took the copper plate and looked at it, and also took out half a pair of copper plates from his arms, and immediately synthesized a complete one, and said with a light in his eyes: "Mr. Liu has worked hard, and the master has explained to Mr. Liu before he came." ”

Liu San bowed and said, "Don't dare, is the master good?" ”

"Good! Well, the master specially explained: Mr. Liu and others are the pillars of the country, and they can't be wronged, and when this battle is over, those who are willing to go back can go back, and those who are willing to stay here can help manage Nagasaki Port, and everything is respectful. Liang Ize said with a smile.

A trace of fluctuation appeared on Liu San's calm face, and it was probably before he stabilized, and said calmly: "Thank you for your care, everything will be discussed after this battle, please send troops immediately, Liu can be the guide." ”

"Okay, except for the logistics battalion left to guard the baggage, the rest is divided into two roads, Si Ze, you lead 2,000 people along the main road to Nagasaki, and a certain self-lead 5,000 people to capture Shangxi Mountain and set off!" Li Ke did not hesitate to give the battle order. After receiving the general's order, the more than 8,000 Qing officers and men who had already landed immediately got busy, sorted out the artillery, shells, gunpowder, and other materials that had already been unloaded on the beachhead, assembled the whole army, and marched rapidly along the mainland.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, on the Yanwu who was under siege, Qiao Hailong looked at the more than 200 officers and soldiers of the Qingshui Division and the sailors neatly lined up on the deck, and gave the final order: "Brothers, we can't go back, everyone will die together, and after twenty years, he will be a good man, and he must not fall into the power of my Qing Emperor, let's fight!" ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fuck it! It's dead or alive, and the birds are facing up! ”

……

The crowd shouted wildly, with a spirit of looking at death as if they were home. Qiao Hailong waved his hand and said: "I can wait for death, but I must not let the ship fall into the hands of the Japanese people, Hu Si, you go to the bottom cabin, once the Japanese soldiers occupy the deck, immediately open the trap door and sink the ship!" Wang Er, go up to the mast, send a signal to the Yanlong, and let them do the same. ”

"The thieves are coming!" A sharp-eyed sailor saw several heads poking their heads out of the ship's side and cried out at a loud voice.

"Kill! them off! Qiao Hailong waved the steel knife in his hand and rushed towards the side of the ship first, and suddenly the deck became a mess, and there were Japanese soldiers on the decks on both sides of the ship, and the tragic hand-to-hand combat began, and the sound of the impact of weapons, the shooting of handcuffs, and the screams were intertwined.

"Kill!" The steel knife in Qiao Hailong's hand waved wildly to separate the oncoming Japanese knife, and slashed down a Japanese soldier with an oblique chop, and before he could retract the knife, the three Japanese knives covered him at the same time, sealing the line he was dodging, the knife was extremely fast, and the knife roared.

"Be careful, sir!" Goshha, who was standing beside Qiao Hailong, rushed forward with a brisk step and knocked Qiao Hailong away, but he himself was slashed by three knives, and he died instantly with a scream.

"Ahh Qiao Hailong's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed forward again, the steel knife in his hand danced wildly, shouting and fighting.

The Yanlong had already suffered a lot of damage, suffered heavy losses in manpower, and after only a few moments of hand-to-hand combat, it was no longer able to support it, and the signal soldiers on the mast of the Yanlong were in tears and issued a flag - I have sunk myself. The huge hull of the ship began to sink slowly, and the Japanese soldiers who had just occupied the deck of the Yanlong saw that the situation was not right, and immediately swarmed to climb back to their ship along the flying claw rope. The officers and soldiers of the Yanwu desperately resisted the defeat and retreated under the mast, and the more than 200 people on the whole ship were only 30 at this time, and most of them were injured, Qiao Hailong had been stabbed twice at this time, and he was drenched in blood all over his body, and he shouted to himself, and when he saw that the whole army was about to be destroyed, Wang Er on the mast shouted: "Ship!" The ship is coming, our reinforcements are coming! ”
