Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The rear ship of the "Aisuo" originally had a large hole that had not been repaired, but now after several rounds of attacks, a fire broke out on the deck of the rear ship.Unable to fight any more, the white flag was hoisted.Surrender to Daqingshui Division.

Immediately, two gunboats approached the "Esso", boarded the "Esso" and escorted all the French sailors into the gunboat, and sailed to the sea.Leaving Beibu Gulf.

The three ships "Aisuo", "South Fire", and "Nanfeng" were missing from the battlefield in the Beibu Gulf, and the space seemed to be much larger.At this point "Triumph" joined in the ravages of the two remaining French cruisers.

On the other side, "Nan Yong" and "Nan Min" who were on fire crazily ran towards "Douer". "Nanji" and "Nanxiang" bombarded "Douer" with their main artillery from the side, while "Nanwei" and "Nanwu" attacked "Douer" laterally.The whole battle was like an eagle catching a boy, fleeing around the "Dour", looking for a breakout and continuing.

The two French protected cruisers have slowly sunk under the devastation of the two battleships of the Daqingshui Division.When "Changsheng" and "Triumph" turned around to encircle "Dour".

"General, Lu Xin and Niko have been sunk. Now the two ironclad ships and several gunboats of the Qing army have surrounded us, and they are less than 5000 meters away from us." The adjutant said anxiously.

Billy saw that the game was over, like a rooster who has lost his fight.Unintentionally commanding the battle, he said to the adjutant: "We have lost, order to stop shooting. Hang up the white flag."

"General..." the adjutant said painfully.

"Marshal, we have surrounded the flagship. Give the order and send them to feed the fish." A soldier said.

"Report, report from the observation tower. The enemy ship has lowered the national flag and raised the white flag..." The messenger rushed over.

"What, it's so bearish. Surrender as soon as you are surrounded. That guy destroyed many of our gunboats, and Chaoyong and Yang Wei were also sunk by him. Commander, you can order and destroy it." A soldier was angry Said.

Zuo Zongtang had a hot temper, and originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see the white flag and sink it directly.But thinking that the imperial court destroyed almost all the warships for this war, and now the enemy surrendered such a powerful warship.It's a pity to destroy it, so I suppressed my anger and ordered: "Close to the enemy ship and prepare to accept surrender."

"Master..."

"Execute!"

"twitter."

After the warship took over the "Dour", it continued to sail towards the Red River Naval Port.Several seriously injured gunboats and an unprotected cruiser "Sinri Lance" were docked in the naval port.Either a major overhaul is needed, or there is a lack of fuel, a lack of supplies.

After destroying several forts with little effort, the "Victory" occupied the Red River Naval Port, an important military site in Vietnam.

So far, the balance of victory in the Sino-French war has tilted towards the Qing Dynasty!

Zuo Zongtang left behind Deng Shichang's "Triumph" and several gunboats, and led "Tour", "Sinri Lance" and several seriously injured gunboats to sail under the escort of "Nanji" and "Nanxiang". Jiangnan Early Shipyard.

Tianjin Dagu port finally ushered in four giants built by Germany and one state-of-the-art cruiser purchased by Germany.So far, the ironclad warships of the Daqingshui Division already have "Dingyuan", "Chaoyuan", "Jiyuan", "Weiyuan", "Changsheng", "Unbeaten", "Triumph", "Victory", "Juyin" , "Yongwu" (formerly Aisuo, now renamed Yongwu) ten ships.The total tonnage reached more than 5 tons.In addition, there are "Chengfeng" (cruiser purchased by Germany, the same level as Dole), "Breaking Waves" (formerly Dole, now renamed Polang), "Nanji", "Nanxiang", "Yangfan" (formerly Xinli Lance, now renamed Yangfan) five cruisers, although the number is not many, but they have super cruisers like "Ride the Wind" and "Break the Waves", which were very rare in the world at that time, and their strength is evident.

The news of the victory and the news of the return of the German ironclad ships reached the capital at the same time.Guan Xuqing has been the happiest day since the start of the war between China and France.

The navy of the Qing Dynasty has developed so far in bitter battles, although it has lost a lot.But got more, in the continuous war, officers and soldiers also got training and experience from actual combat.This is much more precious than what is written in the textbook, and Guan Xuqing has begun to build a powerful imperial navy.

From the beginning of the disastrous defeat at the Mawei Naval Port, the entire Fujian Navy was wiped out.The sneak attack to the East China Sea was successful, and the prisoners "triumphed", but they also paid a heavy price.Nearly 20 warships were lost.Then to the great victory in the South China Sea, everything from the deployment of battleships to the use of tactics has gradually matured.Then to the melee at the military port in today's Beibu Gulf, it directly and completely defeated the French fleet mentally and gained a lot.This is the history of the slow growth of a powerful navy, from which painful lessons, blood and tears have been paid.Guan Xuqing thought about it, but tears filled his eyes.

The next step is the decisive battle of the army in Vietnam, as long as the French army in Vietnam is resolved in one fell swoop.Then the battle is basically over.

The news of the annihilation of the new Far East Fleet spread to France, and the whole country was in an uproar.

"How could we lose to such a lowly nation like the Qing Dynasty? Those yellow monkeys, uncivilized savages, and long braids. How is this possible? What the hell." After learning the news that the Far East Fleet was wiped out Feirui roared at the top of his lungs.

In fact, France has always held opposition to Ferjouri's policy of compromising with Germany and expanding outwards. People are thinking about when to recover the land seized by Germany, rather than expanding in the Far East.

Originally, if the war was won, the people might have nothing to say, and the financial capitalists could also gain benefits in the new land.But when the news of the defeat in the war came back, all these contradictions inevitably broke out.

Fjouri was forced to resign and the cabinet was dissolved.

The Lion Awakens Chapter 62 Massive Attack

After the navy occupied the military port, Dong Liang's troops were all in place.Guan Xuqing didn't know that the French cabinet had collapsed at this time, and the country was already in chaos.

Just take it for granted not to give the French more time, when they are not slowing down.The capital has ordered a storm!

"Nanwei" and "Nanwu", two small gunboats with only 700 tons, are deceptive at sea, but they become giants in the river.No solid fortifications can stop his 140mm Armstrong front-loading gun, and the fortifications will be finished with one shot.

What's more, the two gunboats were also equipped with breech-loading rapid-fire guns and machine guns, and the two gunboats fought in the Red River.After hitting all the firepower, they stormed to the south bank, and the French couldn't lift their heads.Only the artillery of the French army can still speak, and all other firepower is silent.

Under the cover of the powerful artillery fire of the warship, Lu Yiwei's department took the lead in boarding the boat to cross the river.Since they took on the task of roundabout encirclement, all ships were given over to them, only three round trips.All the soldiers of Lu Yiwei's department were sent there first.

The French army on the other side retreated southward after the naval port was occupied, knowing that they had lost the protection of the warship.It is very difficult to hold the position on the south bank of the Red River.After Lu Yiwei's department rushed over, it was empty, and there were only a small number of Vietnamese vassal soldiers left behind.The Continental French Army had already retreated south.

The French Army is also ranked number one in Europe. If they can't even see such an obvious strategic purpose of the Qing Army, it would be too insulting to their reputation.

After the entire army successfully landed on the south bank, it was discovered that only 7000 Vietnamese vassal troops were defending.Its more than 4 local main forces have disappeared, and now it seems that all the previous tactical arrangements have become waste paper.

The sudden evaporation of the enemy made Liu Mingchuan not sure what was wrong. The original tactical arrangements were sent to the Ministry of War in telegrams, and the Ministry of War sent them to the emperor, who personally approved them and implemented them.

But now, the whereabouts of the enemy are unknown.The large area of ​​Vietnamese land in the south did not know where to attack. The scattered attack was afraid of encountering the main force of the French army, and the attack was carried out step by step, and it was afraid of delaying time. After the arrival of the French reinforcement warships, this best opportunity was missed.

"Report, the front spies report. A large number of French troops were found in Hucheng Fortress." A signal soldier reported back.

"Bring the map." Liu Mingchuan roared loudly.

Fort Hu Thanh is the earliest place where the French invaded and occupied Vietnam. After more than ten years of construction by the French, the fortifications are very strong. A naval infantry brigade of the French Pacific Fleet has been stationed here for a long time. Equipped with a variety of artillery, cross control the entire fortress.

Its fortress is surrounded by mountains on three sides and can only be entered from the front.Did the French hide here, waiting for reinforcements from warships?

In fact, the French army here is as unaware of the downfall of the French domestic cabinet as the Qing army, and now France is in chaos.The opposition parties are working hard to govern, and the ruling party has ignored the world affairs because of Feijour's resignation, and has long forgotten about the tens of thousands of troops in Vietnam.

"Xiao Lu, you see, this battle is all about time. We must take him down before the arrival of the French reinforcement fleet." Dong Liang looked at the map and said.

Lu Yiwei frowned and said: "Although this place is close to the port, the fortress is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It happened to be surrounded by mountains. Our warship's firing line was blocked and we couldn't attack the fortress. I'm sure the main force of the French army must be hiding in the Here it is."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack." Liu Mingchuan's fiery temper came up again.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether the main force of the French army is inside or not. This fortress is still going to be attacked, but if it is not inside, it will undoubtedly delay our time, so we should divide our forces and attack this time." Dong Liang said calmly. Said.

"Well, Brother Liu and I will attack here. The Black Banner Army continues to attack the cities in the northwest, and General Dong extends to the southwest. When we break through here, no matter where the French army goes, they will fall into our encirclement." Lu Yiwei said.

"Okay.", "That's it.", "That's great."

It was unanimously approved by all of you, and the troops moved to the pre-designated location in an orderly manner.

"Little Lu, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the front entrance is so small. Can't our [-] troops launch a strong attack at the same time?" Liu Ming said.

"Yes, the firepower of the fortress is quite reasonable, and the cross-covering is also quite organized. No matter how many people rush up, it will be useless, and they will all become targets." Lu Yiwei said politely.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Mingchuan asked anxiously.

Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said: "How about this, I will gather all the artillery of our department and give it to you. Add yours to form [-] artillery battalions. It is still the old way, the artillery covers, and the infantry charges."

"Twenty artillery battalions, that's enough for them to drink a pot." Liu Mingchuan stood there blankly, imagining the artillery power of the twenty artillery battalions.

Liu Mingchuan's department was responsible for the frontal attack, and Lu Yiwei's department entered the mountain from the left, and went around behind the fort to occupy several important strongholds entering the mountain from the fort.Otherwise, the fortress was breached in front, and the French fled into the mountains.Such a big mountain, really can not find their tens of thousands of troops ah.

Liu Mingchuan, who was attacking frontally, summoned all the officials to assign tasks.
