"Hurry, hurry up all tama!"

Shanlu, the general general of Tianjin Town, yelled at him almost with a hint of crying.

More than 3,000 cavalry behind him each activated their war horses and ran along the official road near the river. At the end of the horizon in front of them, a vague yellowish tint was shining with black smoke, which was particularly eye-catching on the background of the blue sky. There was a faint light of fire in the black smoke from time to time, and loud noises like muffled thunder kept coming from afar.

That's Dagukou.

The bandits killed them to Dagukou.

General Shan learned about the bad news on the belly of a leading brand in Yihongyuan.

Poor he was stupid at that time.

This is completely confusing. By the way, even Daoguang had just learned to launch a bandit invasion, and of course a general like him could not know.

The sudden bad news made him confused. Fortunately, he was still a member of the general. After he woke up, he rushed out of Yihongyuan and rode back to the general's palace on horseback. The Tianjin Bingbei Road, who also received the news, also arrived. The latter was also woken up from a certain pinhead. While cursing the bandits killed that day, they mobilized all the soldiers found in Tianjin City, and then rode a large part of the horses requisitioned from the Changlu Salt merchants, and even added some salt stewards from the Changlu Salt Transportation Commissioner to urgently reinforce Dagukou. At the same time, Shanlu ordered all the garrisons in Tianjin Town to reinforce Dagukou as quickly as possible. It was indeed rare that he could do so much in less than half a day. The main reason was that this was too big, and the Changlu Salt merchants cooperated with all their strength, and the latter was actually more anxious than them.

However……

"Blessed by Buddha, you must hold on!"

General Shan ran wildly while looking for spiritual comfort.

Of course he knew the situation in Dagukou.

It took three years to upgrade from Dagu Battalion to Dagu Association. The deputy general of the Dagu Association was under the Fifth Battalion. There were a total of five main turrets, two to the north and three to the south, and more than a dozen small ones. They were mainly small turrets that provided protection for the main turrets. In fact, they were rammed earth turrets. The entire group of turrets had less than 100 cannons of various types, and there were only more than 30 giant cannons dedicated to coastal defense. The total number of defenders was only more than 2,000. Moreover, this was the number of people in the organization. In fact, because of the empty salary, people knew how many people there were. Even if he was the general of Tianjin Town, he had his share in this empty salary, but he only took part in the submissions, so he would not have the leisure to ask about the details!

Even with his enlightenment, he knew that more than a thousand people were nervous to guard there.

Suddenly he screamed in surprise.

He hurriedly raised his head and looked forward. On the blue sky, meteors dragging fireworks, long tails falling rapidly, and instantly disappeared on the horizon. Then, it seemed like a black mushroom slowly growing on the horizon.

His heart suddenly tightened.

Countless terrifying legends poured into his brain.

"It's that monster, that monster is here!"

He screamed subconsciously.

"Master Zhentai, we are waiting for thousands of iron cavalry, why don't you fear that demon? Even if there is a demon, I will ask Master Guan Er to be the lord to kill him!"

A Changlu Salt Merchant beside him, a person who was said to be superpowered, waved the exaggerated Daguan Sword in his hand, and boasted proudly in the cheers of the large number of admirers behind him. Speaking of which, the Changlu Salt Merchants have devoted themselves to our Qing Dynasty, and even such strange people can be invited out. Looking at his confident expression, even the Qing soldiers who were running out of breath behind him were suddenly excited, and then they all raised their weapons one by one, shouting that they would kill the demons for our Qing Dynasty.

"Okay, they are all good servants. It's time for us to win a wife and a son!"

General Shan shouted in emotion.

Then he whipped the war horse under his crotch. The war horse immediately neighed and stood up. General Shan, who was caught off guard, screamed and fell down, and fell directly into the sky. The personal soldiers on both sides quickly dismounted. Just as they were busy helping General Shan get on the horse again, a warship suddenly appeared in their sight.

The warship had sailed down, but it was still upstream of the Haihe River. A yellow chimney in the middle of the hull, which was black and yellow, was constantly spraying out thick smoke. Even if it was countercurrent, its speed was still astonishingly fast. Under the astonishment of General Shan and the Qing cavalry, the same warship appeared one after another, breaking the waves on the Haihe River hundreds of feet wide...

The Dagu Fort is over!

A terrible thought immediately emerged in General Shan's mind.

This fortress, which can be called a coastal defense gateway, hasn't been able to last a day?

Although we know that there are definitely no two thousand defenders there, there should be about one thousand five hundred, hundreds of cannons and five large turrets, which are actually broken like this?

He looked blankly at the warships getting closer and closer. These warships seemed endlessly to appear one by one. The red flags flying on them and the soldiers wearing red clothes on the deck were vaguely visible, like a strange dragon, winding on the sea river. And the Qing soldiers beside him were also looking at the warships getting closer and closer. No one was afraid of escaping, but they gathered to whisper and talk about these strange enemies. They were not worried about being attacked. They did not see the cannon gate next to these warships, but there were some small house-like things on the deck. More importantly, they were hundreds of feet away from the Haihe River. If they were included in the middle of the river, they would have to be more than one hundred feet...

Well, these northern soldiers never faced warships.

They grew up by the canal.

I have seen more canal ships on the canal and more patrol ships. It is obvious that their understanding of warships is still on the ships and thousands of heavy artillery. I have no idea that more than two hundred three-inch cannons and more terrifying four-inch cannons were aimed at them on the dozens of Ming frigates and transport ships that were coming ahead of them.

"Why don't they run?"

On the Ming army's frigate, the captain Wu Lin looked at the Qing army with curiosity and said.

The Northern Expedition Fleet broke through Dagukou was just like playing. In fact, it was originally planned to fight. After all, this was the God Emperor's personal expedition, and each unit was eager to show it. Based on the previous experience of the British flying, even the two battalions of the Marine Corps landed on the flanks of two north and south groups of the turrets, carrying 20 kilograms of mortars to attack from the land. As a result, after the battle started, it was discovered that this fortress as famous as the Humen Fort, not to mention Guan Tianpei's Humen, even the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Jiangyin could only be what they looked up to.

There are many turrets.

There are also many cannons.

But that soldier is just a piece of shit.

The North Bank Fortress collapsed immediately after the blooming bullets of ten six-inch cannons, but the South Bank Fortress collapsed immediately after summoning ten meteors.

This most critical battle ended almost just now.

The collapsed Qing troops were being beaten by the landed two battalions of marines!

Moreover, there are only seven or eight hundred people in total, which is the total of north and south. Because the battle time is short, even if there are casualties and injuries, it will definitely not exceed one-third. In this way, this fortress defender, which can be called the gate of the Qing Dynasty, is actually just over one thousand. This number makes the Ming army dumb. At least you can get a few thousand people, which is worthy of half of the main battleships of the Ming Navy. The captains of four battleships and four battle cruisers, and all the generals of the Marine Corps, planned a day to make careful plans for the sand table, and then in the end, they were actually a defender with more battalions. It was embarrassing to say it!

Of course they don’t know that the compilation here is indeed two thousand.

However, there are still eight hundred people on the books. Only during the exercises and inspections above, they hired guests from nearby fishing villages. This time they came a little suddenly. The Qing army officers didn't have time to find temporary actors. The main responsibility lies with them. In fact, this is nothing. Not to mention the Green Camp, even the Eight Banners are like this. The infantry battalion of the nine gates of the admiral in Beijing is half empty. Otherwise, how can the generals get rich? They are not civil officials, and their money is limited. This is good. After all, there are smuggling here to earn extra money. Some places in the inland area where there are basically no other income. The most exaggerated ones are all drawn on the collapsed barracks, which is considered as a member. The deputy general of the Dagu Association only has less than half empty salary. This is really conscientious.

Otherwise, what will he serve...

He served the admiral, governor, governor, a group of great men in the Ministry of War, and even the general of the Shan army.

Poor General Shan had no idea that he bought a coffin for himself every month from the deputy general of Dagu Association.

"Open fire!"

Wu Lin, who had reached four hundred meters away, said casually.

On this frigate, two four-inch main guns pointing to the port side, four three-inch secondary guns on the port side, and a total of six cannons suddenly spewed out flames. This scene continued from front to back, and all the Ming army cannons entering the range on the entire Haihe River roared at the fastest speed.

In almost the blink of an eye, a four-inch shell hit the middle of the Qing army. The flames of the flowering bomb exploded. In the blown-up Qing army, deadly shrapnel scattered everywhere. The next moment, the Qing army exploded. Countless chaotic screams sounded. The shells kept exploded in the screams. The unlucky Qing soldiers in the splatter of flesh and blood crowded and trampled away like crazy. The superpowered man with the Daguan Knife was instantly squeezed off his horse, and then countless big feet were stepped on his body. Then, with the drop of a three-inch shell, they were blown up to the point of blood and blood with the Qing soldiers above his head.

The Three Thousand Qing Army collapsed instantly.

General Shan sat upright on the horse, looking at the scene with a look of grief and anger, and the flames that kept spraying across the street.

"Taizu Taizong..."

His voice came to an abrupt end.

A four-inch shell passed through the blood mist that turned into his body and exploded among the soldiers behind him.

Three hours later, the Ming army occupied the military ration city.
Chapter completed!
