C549 The Fire of the Sea

Although Maylor could replenish them with some gunpowder and solid artillery shells, the most lethal flowering bomb would lose a few rounds. There were no supplies at all in the Bohai region.

Right now, there were no universal flowering bomb even in Europe, let alone the backward East Asia. The two French battleship would either go to Shanghai to buy some from merchants or go directly to Hong Kong and the British Navy to purchase. There was no other way.

Why did the two French captains and Maylor value the Da Gu Kou's cannon so much? The reason was that the Da Gu Kou's cannon could not only threaten the battleships, but also store a large amount of gunpowder. This was something that the French urgently needed.

Most importantly, the Green Battalion would not modify cannons, but there were professional engineers amongst this group of French pirates. As long as the cannons were taken down, they could modify them and turn the cannons aimed at the sea 90 degrees to bombard the Industrial Zones.

The shore defense artillery had a powerful range. If the heavy concrete walls of the Special Zone were to be bombarded by the shore defense artillery, it would be as simple as hammering on tofu.

For the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement, Maylor and the French Captain had prepared everything they could. They surrounded and attacked the special region with two groups of suspicious soldiers, then secretly sneaked to the west of the cannon emplacement to kill the defending troops when they relaxed.

The sneak attack team's lineup could be said to be luxurious. Three hundred French Veterans s, a thousand over eight flags, and finally, five hundred cavalry killing them all. This kind of team was not something that the Green Battalion s could resist.

However, tonight was strange. It had been more than two hours since the sneak attack, and the sounds of gunshots and shouts had never stopped. Furthermore, each wave was more intense than the last, causing these group of Green Battalion s to fall victim to evil spirits.

They did not have that many ammunition to use, so in the end, the captain of the Zodiac made a bold decision. He wanted to move the warship to the front of the Da Gu Kou's cannon and use the cannons to support the army in battle.

The Zodiac began to send lighting signal s over to the Roman, expressing her strategic intent. The Roman Captain Molde was also not Kraft's superior, so he could not dissuade the Roman from following his orders to adjust the warship.

Controlling the Sail battleship to make short distance movements in the dark night was a test of the sailors' skill. Right now, the two battleships were both heading south, and the starboard cannons of the battleships were shooting towards the Special Zone.

The Zodiac s were to the north and the Roman were to the south. If Kraft wanted to travel to the turret, he would have to go around the Roman s, and when the two ships were standing side by side, in order to prevent any accidents, the cannons could not be activated.

In the pitch black ocean, the Sailor was carefully controlling the area of the sail against the wind. The people jumping up and down on the mast were all busy Sailor.

Zodiac's movements could not be hidden from the veterans of the Special Zone, nor could they hide from the foreign merchants that had entered the deep sea region. In this war, countless foreign cargo ships had always been strictly neutral, some had left early, and of course some merchant ships chose to stay, because the precious goods on board could only be eaten by Letian Firm.

When the two French battleship suddenly attacked, the remaining merchant ships were scared and scattered. Kraft and Molde were Europeans after all, and they also had some love for the same kind of European merchant, especially since there were quite a few Spanish, Portugal, and British merchant ships among the merchant ships.

Just like that, a very strange scene appeared on the surface of the BoHai Sea. Two French battleship s were desperately bombing the special area, and behind the buttocks of the battleships to the east, there were more than ten European merchant ships docked on the sea to watch the fun.

Of course they wanted to leave, but the valuable equipment inside the merchant boat was their life and death, if they did not sell it to the Letian Firm, they would lose everything.

"Look …" The Zodiac began to move! He must want to support the battle at the Da Gu Kou's battery. What should she do? "The Chinese will not be able to hold on any longer..."

"What else can we do? Send a signal to the shore to warn these Chinese … Oh my God, are these French robbers forcing me to go bankrupt? "

In the darkness of the night, the ten merchant ships all blinked their eyes at the same time, and the lookout hand on the mast activated the signal lights as they blinked.

The light from the signal lights could be seen from far away in the night. Many of the soldiers participating in the battle at the turret in the special region and the Da Gu Kou were able to understand the signal from the signal lights.

"Look at the merchant ships of the foreigners on the sea... They're sending us a signal... An enemy ship is preparing to ambush Da Gu Kou, a French battleship is preparing to move towards the south, they want to blast Da Gu Kou into pieces … "

"Clean up the cannon... reloading and preparing to resist... "

Roars came from the turret. It seemed like the battle had reached its climax. Both sides were now exhausted. There were no more moves left on the turret now. They could no longer be separated.

The panting Green Battalion began running towards the cannons, they threw away the corpses on the cannons and started searching for gunpowder and cannons on the ground, preparing to defend against the enemies in the sea.

How could the Eight Banner Cavalry Soldiers allow them to organize a resistance? With a howl, they charged forward to kill the soldiers who had scattered the cannons.

Green Battalion and the Eight Flags Soldier rushed up layer by layer. In the end, the battle was completely fought by a group of barbarians, and every one of the cannons had their surroundings twisted into a human knot.

In the chaos, everyone was fighting by instinct. When the snipers saw the Green Battalion's morale go crazy, they no longer needed to fight to motivate them. They all chose to attack from afar.

The snipers began to spread out and fire at the enemies. At such a close distance, even if they did not have scope s, they would still die with their guns. However, after five minutes of shooting, a desperate situation arose in front of everyone and all the bullets were gone.

"It's as good as dead, this is what it means to run out of food …" Ye Qiu pulled out a bayonet from his waist and was about to put it on the gun again, but he discovered that the bayonet had already been bent in the previous fight.

"Damn, this is forcing me to smash it with my fist …" Ye Qiu looked around and saw the entire cannon emplacement. He saw countless people twisting themselves together to fight with their fists, daggers, and even teeth. Ye Qiu actually laughed.

Yes, that was a smile of despair, he knew that this was the last battle, both sides had used up all their energy, and now they were no longer humans, relying only on the instincts of beasts to fight.

"Ai …" Farewell to the parents, to the new army, to the prime minister … "This hundred jin of mine will end here today …"

Pang Chaoyun turned his head and glared at him, "What are you being sentimental about? If he had the ability to kill a few more of the policemen, I don't believe that we would lose, given the amount of effort we've put in. The Prime Minister is a Hidden Dragon. We all know that, the Hidden Dragon Institute has only just started, how could they possibly lose? "

"Kid, you're scared, I'm not …" Isn't it just a French battleship? I don't believe that it can crush us to death! "

Hearing this, Ye Qiu's mouth slanted and he began to say, "Bullsh * t. Who did you say was shameless? We can die, and our thousands of defenders can be sacrificed, but the Prime Minister's cause will not be lost! "

"I firmly believe that the prime minister will definitely take revenge for us. Even if we die, the Ryukyu will still have one of my ancestral tablets …"

The two of them were bickering, but their eyes were filled with unwillingness to part with each other. They knew that time was running out, and the moment the French battleship's fire rang out, it might be the day they would part with the world forever.

When life can only be counted in minutes, bickering is also a form of remembrance of leaving the world.

The Da Gu Kou was burning, the Special Zone was burning, the trenches were burning, even the sea was burning, etc. How could the sea be burning? Something happened over the sea.

Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun were busy bickering and did not pay attention to the changes in the battlefield. Right now, the sea to the east suddenly lit up with light.

The two of them looked at each other and knew that something was wrong on the sea. They didn't know what had happened, but they had a strange premonition. Could it be that the darkest moment before dawn had already passed?

That's right, their intuition was right, because four strange big ships suddenly appeared on the sea, rapidly approaching from east to west. They also seemed to be deliberately hiding their identities, but the ship actually secretly rushed over without any light.

It was only when the ship was almost close to the merchant ship that the four ships seemed to have heard a signal. They lit up all at once with torches, lighting up the entire sea with bright lights. It was no wonder the ship felt like it was on fire.

"What the hell is this thing …?" Is this a battleship? Oh God... "They're about to crash into us, but it's too late for us to anchor. Hurry up and send a signal to tell them that we're a merchant ship …" The foreign merchants on the sea were in chaos.

The speed of the four ships was incredibly fast, and before the cries of the foreign merchants had even died down, they had already passed by. The moment the two ships crossed paths, all the foreign nationals saw a shocking scene.

"Soldier!" All the boats were full of soldiers in blue uniforms... It was the new army from the Ryukyu, the reinforcements for Xiao Letian must have arrived … Our business is saved! "

At this moment, Kraft and Molde also saw the sudden appearance of these four battleships, and they were very familiar with the one leading them.

"Shattered Waves …" It's our Shattered Waves! Damn it, that was a captured Shattered Waves … Xiao Letian's soldiers had caught up! "Quick, adjust your posture and prepare to shoot …"

Both Kraft and Molde shouted out the name of the Wave Breaker at almost the same time. Now that this light cruiser, which had made them lose all their face, had appeared in front of them, there was only one possibility, Xiao Letian's main force had returned.

That's right, the Shattered Waves is currently the Ryukyu Navy's flagship, and Xiao Letian is currently sitting on it. Right beside the Shattered Waves, there are three modified scissor boat, and the entire place is filled with blue clothed new army.

Xiao Letian looked at the burning Tanggu, his expression extremely cold, and beside him was a dejected Frenchman, the captured ambassador, Molière.

Xiao Letian gritted his teeth and said, "Luckily I left one day earlier, if it was one day later, I would have been flattened by you all … Mr. Molière, you have pushed yourselves towards a disadvantageous position once again. In the future, you French people will not be able to obtain any benefits … "

"Send my orders, send a signal to the special region, tell them that I, Xiao Letian, am back, that I, this father, am alive!"
