Chapter 320: The time is not ripe

Since Liu Jun came to this world, he has never suffered such great damage, and a small Fuzhou battery, under the powerful firepower of three armored cruisers and a torpedo cruiser, has never been able to take it for so long. This made Liu Jun a little disappointed.

When you are lost, you will forget a lot of things, even the tens of thousands of troops in Guangdong have forgotten everything, if it weren't for Zheng Yiqian's reminder, Liu Jun would not have thought that there were still his own troops in the Liangguang region, and even the Guangdong sailors in the Liangguang region were also on the same leg as himself.

Liu Jun, who was extremely excited, immediately ordered the faster Flying Leopard to go to Huangpu, Guangdong, and explained the situation to Li Hanzhang, asking Li Hanzhang to immediately send reinforcements, and let the Guangdong Navy Division carry 10,000 troops to attack from the flank of Fujian, detour to Fuzhou Fort, and attack the Qing army from behind.

And when he was attacking by the army, he immediately let the sailors attack, so that if he attacked from both sides, he would be able to break through the fort, and then he would be able to easily take Fuzhou.

Liu Jun understood from this incident, and once thought that although he had no contact with the imperial court, the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau made a warship for himself, which was also contributing to the country's coastal defense.

He figured it out, rather than letting the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau be in the hands of the imperial court, it was better to take advantage of this time to take it down and manage it himself.

In order to manage the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, then Fuzhou must be taken, and even several counties around Fuzhou must be taken, only in this way can the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau have a safety guarantee, and the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau can build warships with peace of mind.

Now, the division is unfavorable, and in the first battle, it lost a torpedo cruiser Flying Eagle that had a fight with the original Zhiyuan. This made Liu Jun very angry, he was iron-hearted, if he didn't take Fuzhou, he wouldn't be able to meet Lushun.

"Head, I think it's better not to use the Liangguang army?" Seeing Liu Jun excitedly pointing at Li He and giving the order to let the Flying Leopard go to Guangdong, Zhong Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, interrupting Liu Jun who was in the excitement.

What? While Liu Jun tilted his head, he also stopped giving orders, after all, Zhong Lin generally does not express his opinions, and expressing his opinions is an unusual person, he really listens to Zhong Lin's meaning.

Zhong Lin's idea is actually very simple, now Liaodong doesn't want to start a full-scale war at all, this time to fight Fuzhou, mainly for the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau, or even to protect the dreadnought battleship in the No. 2 dock from being exposed, if Liangguang is exposed to the imperial court at this time, then when there is a full-scale war in the future, there will be no secrets at all, but if Liangguang does not participate in this battle now, in the future, after breaking with the imperial court, the Liangguang region will be able to attack quickly and give the imperial court an unexpected blow. If it is fast, the troops of Liangguang can quickly move towards Yong'an, enter Hunan, and even enter Yunnan-Guizhou.

In a word, it is not yet time for the two Guangxi to be exposed.

Zhong Lin's words, after Liu Jun pondered carefully, this is also the truth.

"What do you mean?" Liu Jun nodded and asked Zhong Lin at the same time. After all, now, taking Fuzhou is a big deal.

"Head, we still have nearly 3,000 officers and men of the Second Regiment and Pei Yinsen's Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau in the Harbour Bureau, and I believe that they will take action when they see that we are unable to break through the Fuzhou Fort now."

It can only be like this, Liu Jun stood up suddenly, pointed to the Fuzhou Fort that was spraying artillery fire in the distance, and shouted viciously: "Concentrate the artillery fire and hit the No. 2 Fort first." ”

Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... Unable to go to Guangdong, the main warships of the Beiyang Naval Division suddenly concentrated all their anger on the naval guns, and three armored cruisers, one torpedo cruiser, and dozens of large-caliber guns were all aimed at the No. 2 battery and began to vent their anger in their hearts.

At the command post of Fuzhou No. 2 Battery, Xu Yingqi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, looked at the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division swimming on the sea, and his heart was terrified. Then he also saw that the Fuzhou Fort could threaten it, only the two 200-mm coastal defense guns of the No. 2 Battery, and the rest of the artillery could only tickle the rough-skinned Beiyang Naval Division.

Moving the binoculars, Xu Yingqi fixed his gaze on the warship with only the mast left. Two hours earlier, the warship had been sunk by a 200-millimeter coastal defense gun that had hit the boiler in the middle, and then caused an explosion.

"Congratulations, Lord Governor, we have dealt a blow to the rebels." Liu Rongle, the commander of the fort, said hello to Xu Ying, who was still full of melancholy.

Gratifying? It should be said that it is pathetic. When Xu Yingqi heard this, he immediately closed his eyes in grief.

If he didn't sink the Liaodong warship, but scared the Liaodong warship back, then he would still have a way out. But now, the forts, who are not long-sighted, have sunk the Liaodong warship.

Liaobei Ocean Sailor, that is Liu Jun's butcher's sailor, this wants Liu Jun to know that he will definitely be painted with a red cross, and there is only one truth in the future, that is, death.

Liu Jun knows what he is doing in the north, and now, he is not thinking about retreating, but thinking about how to prevent the Liaodong Army on the sea from landing, he understands very well that as long as the Liaodong Army lands, the No. 2 Battery, and even the defenders of the Fuzhou Fort and himself, will have no way to live.

"It's a credit to everyone. The old man dared to monopolize it. Looking at Liu Rong, who was looking at him, Xu Yingqi smiled bitterly, and then pointed to the Beiyang Naval Division warship that was bursting with artillery fire: "Order, let each battery concentrate its firepower and hit the small one first." ”

Boom. The defenders of the shore defense battery began to concentrate their fire on the Flying Leopard on the surface of the sea.

The armor of the Flying Leopard was not as thick as the others, and it was suddenly fired. can only retreat to the open sea to extinguish the fire, watching the three strong men fight with the fort.

Looking at the laughing warship that was beaten and was on fire, Xu Yingqi stroked his beard happily, he was a little proud, he believed that he would definitely be able to beat this group of rebels from now on.

With a bang, Xu Yingqi was suddenly frightened and trembled, and after the explosion, he looked up, and suddenly cold sweat fell from his frightened face.

Less than 50 meters away from his headquarters, there was originally a 150-mm shore defense gun, but now, where the shore defense shore gun has disappeared without a trace, there is only a huge crater and a fragmented corpse, among which I don't know if it is the intestines of the Qing army, which is hanging on the branch next to it that has not been blown off, swaying from side to side by the sea breeze.

Wow, Xu Yingqi, who had never seen this kind of formation, suddenly vomited the things he had eaten in his stomach. "My lord, it was the third battery." Liu Rong was a veteran after all, and he could hear that it was not a shell from the sea that hit this shore defense gun, but from the No. 3 battery.

The No. 3 battery is the closest to the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, and at this time, the battery that has been shelling the sea suddenly turned its muzzle and fired at itself, what can this mean, Xu Yingqi suddenly didn't dare to vomit, and hurriedly raised the telescope in his hand to look at the No. 3 battery.

In the binoculars, a group of people dressed in the uniforms of the officials of the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau and some ordinary people appeared, manipulating more than a dozen guns of the No. 3 battery and shooting at the No. 2 battery.

Oh my God? Xu Yingqi wanted to die head-on, why couldn't he make arrangements and send a force to be stationed at the No. 3 battery to prevent the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau at the No. 2 dock.

It's over, it's all over. Xu Yingqi knew that now the No. 2 battery was being attacked by both the sea and land, and it was a matter of time before it was lost.

"My lord, what now?" Liu Rong suddenly lost the optimism he had just now.

At the beginning, the No. 2 battery was designed, as long as it was aimed at the sea surface, only a few could turn the muzzle, and even a few had already lost all in the battle, and now, the No. 3 battery was occupied by the rebels. And he was threatened by the sea, Liu Rong really panicked.

What to do? , facing the flanking attack of the land and water armies. Xu Yingqi lowered his head depressedly and began to think about how to deal with all this,
