At dawn, the dawn of the morning slowly revealed, piercing through the mist rising from the raging waves and spilling onto the surface of the sea.
The silver light on the sea surface is shining, and the morning sun close to the sea surface reflects each other, like a delicate and beautiful painting, and at this time, Tianjin Wei, who is stationed in Tanggu, was surprised to see that in the bay, a huge ship shadow slowly appeared through the morning mist.
In the sea off Tianjin, even if there are ships, they are all alone, most of them are ships of the city ship, or the envoys of foreign domains.
But now, they clearly saw that in the mist, suddenly a huge shadow of a ship appeared, such a long and narrow ship, they had never seen before, and the bulging sails had begun to be retracted.
The military families who have been garrisoned here for generations have never seen such a ship, or rather, a fleet of this size has never been here.
So, the entire dock was already in a panic, and the commander Yang Xian got the news, came in a hurry, looked at the huge uninvited guests on the sea, and immediately roared: "It's a thief ship, it's a thief ship, it's a thief ship of Franc Ji." ” Anyway, he has read some Di Bao, and he has more knowledge, and he has seen the Di Bao of the Franc aircraft attack on Quanzhou, and he has had a description of the Franc aircraft and ships.
Then came his lung-splitting roar: "Meet the enemy, meet the enemy" The entire dock, like a boiling hot pot, suddenly boiled, and the panicked military households hurriedly searched for weapons.
When everyone found the arsenal, they remembered that the gate was closed all the year round, and even the iron locks were rusty.
Finally, someone smashed the door of the arsenal open, and everyone found that the wood of the spears inside was all rotten, and they knew that the remaining rusty spearheads, and the fire guns were also like a layer of green coat, rusty, and rusty bubbles floating.
When the swarm of people saw this, their faces were very bad, but they still picked up their weapons casually.
And the Franc battleship, which had closed its sails and lowered the anchor, did not move.
Immediately afterwards, with a boom, this huge roar had suppressed the roar of the angry waves and the dampness, and the cannonballs in the sky flew towards the shore like rain, and the solid iron balls shot out instantly, and were burned red, and the raindrops smashed the trestle and the storehouse to a pulp, this so-called artillery fire may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of later generations, but the shooting of cannons from the ship is enough to thrill people in this era and scare people's pants.
Immediately afterwards, the small boats were lowered from the big ship, and the sailors of the Franc machine quickly slipped off the small boats along the cables, and the landing boats, which were densely searched, quickly began to slide on the water.
Tanggu was in chaos, there was no one to guard the beachhead of the landing, and several highlands were set up at the mouth of Tanggu, and the commander Yang Xian hurriedly arrived at the fort with his own soldiers, but the sentry here had long been gone, and he said angrily: "Fire, fire." ” "Your Excellency."
The pro-soldier on the side said with an aggrieved face: "This cannon has not been used for two years, since two years ago, the patrol pressed here, checked the military equipment, and blew up the chamber when the cannon was fired, injuring several brothers, and then", Yang Xian was so angry that he stomped his feet, but when he saw the fire and rain falling from the sky, he knew that the general trend had gone, and saw one after another landing craft cruising over, and even small boats rushed directly onto the beach, and one by one the red-haired lobster demon soldiers jumped off the boat, and his heart suddenly surfaced with endless sorrow.
Usually never thought that Tianjin would be attacked, here has been peaceful for too long too long, inside and outside the government, everyone regards them as idlers, scholars regard them as idlers who waste food, and they themselves are also self-despise, in addition to taking care of their own military fields, they have long not regarded military equipment as a thing, but now, when the enemy suddenly attacked, it was not a temporary clinging to Buddha's feet.
"Don't retreat, let everyone not retreat, if you lose Tianjin, the Beijing division will be in danger, pass the order" Although he was facing the embattled situation at this time, he couldn't help but panic, but he still had some insight and knew that the stakes were very high.
Tianjin is the gateway of the Beijing Division, the terrible thing is that this is still the turning point of the canal, once there is any accident here, it means that the North-South Canal is completely interrupted, this is what a terrible thing, the Beijing Division has no grain, the world has to be in chaos.
Cao Yun has a lot at stake.
Yang Xian gritted his teeth, pulled out a knife from his waist, and roared angrily: "Go to kill demon soldiers, it's just death." ” But at this time, more and more lobster demon soldiers had gathered on the beachhead, and immediately after, a row of muskets was fired.
Bang bang bang These well-trained Francophone men, from the ship approaching the port, to the sail and anchor, to the boarding of the flat-bottomed dinghy charge, and then to the beachhead, can be said to be in one go, these soldiers of a hundred battles, shouting in Portuguese, in their tone, there is no tension, such a scene, they are very familiar with such a scene, from North Africa to the Cape of Good Hope, from India to Ceylon, from Malacca to this, today's landing, for them as ordinary as eating and drinking.
As soon as the musket rang out, the Franc machine man gathered on the position, and immediately a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose, and a team led a team to rush and kill a thousand households and his seventy or eighty military households, who were trying to attack halfway, and suddenly turned into the soul of the gun.
Yang Xian on the fort looked at it and couldn't help but shiver, he understood at this time that what they were facing was not a group of harassing thieves at all, but a group of truly well-trained troops.
It's over, it's all over.
At this time, he still had a little bit of clarity, and hurriedly pulled a pro-soldier next to him and said: "Immediately send a message to the Beijing Division, use a fast horse, use a fast horse, take the survey of the official, and hurry up for a hundred miles, Tianjin is about to fall, please prepare for the contingency of the princes of the court." ” Yang Xian closed his eyes, and then said: "Tell them, humble Yang Xian, deeply favored by the country, there is nothing to repay, today is only broken bones, go, go." ” He said, his eyes flashed desperately ruthless, Tianjin is too important, once it falls, he can't bear this responsibility, this is the real world shake, is the real country is in danger, its significance is no less than the change of Tumubao.
Gritting his teeth, he said to the remaining soldiers: "If you run away today, you will die, so it is better to earn a pension for your wife and children."
Come with me."
Tanggu port, muskets are magnificent, gunpowder smoke is filled, the lobster demon soldiers that have been condensed have been listed as a phalanx of black pressure, with the strange cry of chirping, in the brisk sound of military songs, the mighty and mighty, deep inland, left behind, but the remains of corpses everywhere. aa2705221:
