Lu Hanqiang said in a deep voice: "Judging from the defense of the entire Niuzhuang, the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and our sneak attack seems to have failed. ” Zhou Chujun nodded, there was no salt in the salt field, the gate of Niuzhuang was closed, the city head was covered with flags, there were countless figures running back and forth, and the faint sound of gongs sounded, it seemed that the enemy was indeed on guard.
"Could it be that our plans have been leaked?"
Lu Hanqiang thought for a while, and then shook his head gently: "Only you and me know about this plan, Xu Jie Dazhuang and Zhang Dake, oh yes, and Wu Sangui." ” Zhou Chujun looked at the back of the guerrilla general's armor in a small boat that was lowered from the battleship, and couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that Wu Sangui leaked the secret?"
Li Hanqiang smiled: "The reason why our plan was said by Wu Sangui was that others were smart and speculated by themselves, and it was on our ship to the sea, so there would be no leaks at all, but this time you were too careful."
Then he sighed: "It seems that Huang Taiji, the little wild boar, did have two hits, he just deduced my purpose from my action of lending money to the Shandong Sailor, it seems that this time Renjie is definitely not blowing." ” Zhou Chujun let out a long sigh of relief, and then habitually asked: "Then Master Inspector, what should we do now" With Lu Hanqiang by his side, Zhou Chujun wanted to ask about everything, it seemed that he had no confidence in his heart at this time, and when Lu Hanqiang was not around, he was full of confidence in what he decided, and I don't know what the reason is.
Lu Hanqiang turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chujun: "I said that I came this time and would not interfere with any of your decisions and commands, I just came to observe." ” Zhou Chujun glanced at Lu Hanqiang and didn't say anything, then turned around and instructed the standard-bearer beside him: "Tell General Zhang Dake in the flag language that there can be no more battles on the beachhead, and there is no need for the original plan to rush to the beach, and our department will occupy the beachhead, monitor the enemy in Niuzhuang to come out and sneak attack, and ask General Zhang to prepare to transport the bed crossbow on the battleship ashore to support the marines in attacking the city." ” The flag speaker behind him sent Zhou Chujun's request to the flagship of Zhang Dake's warship in the distance in simple flag language.
After a while, the other party also sent a flag to this one, and this flag speaker stared at the other party's shaking flag, and slowly explained to Zhou Chujun: "The other party said that the bed crossbow has begun to be disassembled and loaded, and Mr.
Zhang asked if he would start attacking immediately."
Zhou Chujun glanced at Lu Hanqiang again, and saw that he didn't say anything at all, so he said to the flag behind him: "My army will line up on the shore for rectification, I hope his bed crossbow can quickly come up and launch an attack formation, tell Zhang Zongbing that our army will occupy the beachhead to provide him with protection, and ask him to immediately let the fleet of transport ships behind move forward, under the protection of our marines, hurry up to repair the dock, and then transport the siege materials up, and tell Zhang Zongbing that the enemy has known about our sneak attack on Niuzhuang, There will also be reinforcements coming as quickly as possible, so I ask General Zhang to hurry up all the time to repair the docks and deliver supplies, and then we will start the siege, and I will take Niuzhuang before the enemy reinforcements arrive. ” After receiving Zhou Chujun's order from the other party, at this time, the fleet that followed behind to transport supplies began to overtake the battleship and move forward.
Zhou Chujun said to the standard-bearer again: "Give General Wu Sangui an order, the marines will immediately rush to the beach and land, and advance directly to the city of Niuzhuang, as long as the bed crossbow is attacked, the marines will immediately seize the city." ” Wu Sangui, who had assembled on the sea in the distance, was looking here, and when he saw the flag, he turned around and waved the red flag in his hand to the assembled subordinates, so the overwhelming boat began to slowly accelerate and hit the beachhead of Niuzhuang.
There are only endless salt pans on the beach, and apart from a few flying seabirds, there is not even a ghost shadow, and the landing on the beach has become an easy landing.
The small boats of the marines rushed to the beach, and the soldiers disembarked one after another, and then in small teams, they lined up in horizontal formations, holding flintlock guns, and marched in the direction of Niuzhuang with the monotonous beat of drums, and then stood between Niuzhuang and the wharf that had been destroyed, and began to form a three-row queue to separate the cattle village from the wharf, and closely monitor the enemy.
At this time, the medium-sized fleet of ships carrying supplies began to dock on the damaged dock, unloading goods from the ship to the dock, and countless craftsmen, under the protection of the marines, began to busily repair the damaged dock of the Niuzhuang, a simple temporary dock, which was developing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everything is so orderly, like a perfect machine, running efficiently, and there is no way to see the kind of procrastination of the original Ming army.
"It seems that the usual training is still good."
Lu Hanqiang nodded with satisfaction.
Zhou Chujun said steadily: "At the beginning, I went to Shandong to establish the Marine Corps, and after the purpose of the formation of the Marine Corps, General Zhang also fully cooperated. ” "Yes, all victories are prepared for those who are prepared, what should be described as such efficiency and calmness" Lu Hanqiang pondered for a while: "It's so neat, yes, it's just a good time to describe it."
Then he turned to Zhou Chujun and said, "I think we should also go ashore, so sitting in the rear and commanding from a distance will still affect the battle." ” Zhou Chujun immediately objected: "Master Inspector must not personally risk himself, it is safer to sit here." ” Lu Hanqiang snorted haha: "Will it be dangerous for me to go ashore Seven thousand marines are in front of me, if I am still in danger, then I can only be afraid that a seabird will pull a puddle of on my face."
Then without waiting for Zhou Chujun to say anything, he walked directly to the side of the boat, stepped over the tall side of the ship, grabbed the rope ladder and began to climb down.
Zhou Chujun could only follow Lu Hanqiang to get off the boat, and then command the boat to sail towards the dock that was beginning to take shape.
Seeing that Lu Hanqiang's big flag moved, Zhang Dake's handsome flag did not move, and it was still flying high on the battleship.
He knew that now his place should be at sea, among his warships.
Lu Hanqiang, who boarded the simple dock, looked at the handsome flag on the battleship from afar, and nodded with satisfaction again: "It seems that General Zhang is still calm and knows the reason that Shuai will not leave his position." ” Zhou Chujun stomped on the simple dock under his feet, he was very satisfied with its sturdiness, and the usual training and construction was the same, not because the war was just around the corner, the craftsmen panicked, and cut corners, this is the result of strict training in peacetime, at this time, when he heard Lu Hanqiang say this, he smiled and sighed: "Mr.
Zhang is capable and old, and he knows his responsibility, although in this sea area, there is no possibility of a sneak attack by enemy ships, but this kind of caution is still desirable, and such an old man is partnered, I feel safe and honored. ” t1706231537:
