Zhang Haixiao knows the strength of Lin Yuan's navy and the gap between them and Lin Yuan even more. Lin Yuan's navy can wipe out the entire Russian Pacific Fleet, and one mysterious weapon equipped on Lin Yuan's warship can sink a ship. A [-]-ton warship, and Zhang Haixiao doesn't even have a ship with a cannon!

Since the naval strength of the two sides is so different, Zhang Haixiao agreed to send troops to cross the sea. Far from the rear of the troops, his great achievements have been made, and crossing the sea sounds difficult, but it is actually very easy to do.

Although the process of crossing the sea has to meet Lin Yuan's navy, Lin Yuan's navy ships are not many, while Zhang Haixiao's troop carriers are very large. In this way, Zhang Haixiao can let these ships spread across the sea and spread out on the sea. Very open, Lin Yuan's navy will definitely take care of one thing and lose another, and some troops will definitely land successfully in the end.

As for what happened after the landing, Zhang Haixiao didn't care about it. Anyway, he didn't command it. Good or bad has nothing to do with him. Moreover, the ones who went there were not his own elite troops. If they die, they will die. It's no big deal, but what Zhang Haixiao doesn't know is : Lin Yuan already knew the port where Zhang Haixiao's ships departed in advance!

Zhang Haixiao ordered the sea-crossing troops to sail out of the port with the big boats in front and the small boats in the back. The wind on the sea was very small that day, and Zhang Haixiao couldn't help but feel a little scared, because the boats under him were all powered by sails, and the speed of the small boats was slow, while Lin Yuan Lin Yuan's warship doesn't need to be driven by wind at all, and the resistance is even smaller when the wind is small. Lin Yuan's warship will be faster and will easily catch up with his own ship.

Zhang Haixiao murmured silently in his heart: "Lin Yuan's troops must not find us!" At this moment, a loud explosion came from the direction of the port, and Zhang Haixiao looked in the direction of the gunfire. , there were boats of the troops crossing the sea everywhere, but Zhang Haixiao asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

One of the subordinates said: "This subordinate will take someone to investigate. Please wait patiently for a while." The subordinate then turned around and got off the command platform, boarded a steamboat, and sailed towards the port. During this time, The explosions in the direction of the port not only did not stop, but more and more, and the explosions were getting closer.

Zhang Haixiao felt cold and thought: "Listening to the sound of the explosion, someone must be firing at our ship. Could it be that Lin Yuan's troops discovered us?"

At this moment, the subordinate came back in a small boat and said nervously to Zhang Haixiao: "Master Zhang, it's bad, Lin Yuan's warship fired at our ship!"

Zhang Haixiao asked: "How is our ship?"

The subordinate said: "Lin Ni's cannons are very powerful, almost never miss a shot, and the explosive power of the shells is very powerful, one shell is enough to kill everyone on a ship!"

Zhang Haixiao hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let our ship speed up, sail out of the port in the shortest time, wait until it sails out of the port and spread out on the sea, Lin Ni's artillery will be unable to hit it!"

The subordinate said: "My lord, they also want to speed up, but there is no wind on the sea, and the big boat is as slow as a turtle. The small boat can row by itself, but they are blocked by the big boat and cannot get out!"

Zhang Haixiao thought to himself: "No matter how powerful Lin Ni's artillery is, they still have a certain number of shells. We will insist on going outside, and we will definitely be able to survive until they have no shells!" So Zhang Haixiao ordered: "Let the ships of all parts Don't stop, go outside."

The subordinate replied loudly: "This subordinate understands, and this subordinate will deliver the order." But after a while, the subordinate came back and said, "My lord, it's not good, many ship owners have run away."

Zhang Haixiao said: "What do you mean by running away, let me explain more clearly!"

The subordinate replied: "Some of our ships are our own troop carriers, and the rest are civilian ships. These civilian ships are fishing boats requisitioned by the common people. The soldiers of our own army don't know how to use them, so we need the help of fishermen. , but the fishermen saw that Lin Ni's bandit soldiers were firing accurately and hard, so they all threw off their boats and fled."

When Zhang Haixiao heard this, he thought to himself: "If they escape our boat, how can we cross the sea? Our boat can't cross the sea, how can I make a contribution?" Thinking of these, Zhang Haixiao said angrily: "Hurry up and take people to catch these fishermen, just to escape Punishment! If you kill a few, the others will not dare to run away."

The subordinate said: "My lord, it's useless. Think about it. We caught the fishermen on the shore. Even if we killed the fishermen on the sea, we wouldn't know it. They would still escape."

Zhang Haixiao frowned and said nothing, and his subordinate continued: "Sir, let's find a way to rescue the soldiers on the ship. They don't know how to sail, and they are all trapped on the ship now. Sooner or later, Lin Ni's cannon will hit you." Their."

Zhang Haixiao said: "What can I do? Lin Ni discovered our port and will definitely blow up our ships. We are now fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by Lin Ni!"

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Then order those boats to come back, let the people on them come down, let's withdraw, even if the bow of the boat is destroyed, the people can still survive!"

Zhang Haixiao hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Well, order all the troops to withdraw to the port immediately, and the infantry will go ashore!"

As soon as Zhang Haixiao's fleet withdrew, the commander of the landing ship sent a message to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Zhang Haixiao has withdrawn now, will he continue to dispatch ships when I am not prepared? No, I have to be careful. Scare him." So Lin Yuan said, "Send a telegram to Zhang Haixiao."

The telegraph operator immediately found out Zhang Haixiao's password, and said to Lin Yuan, "Shuai Lin, what do you want to send?"

Lin Yuan said: "Tell Zhang Haixiao to hide his ships in the port and not move. I will not blow them up. He can preserve his strength. If he acts rashly, I will definitely blow up all his ships into the sea. When the time comes He has nothing! That’s what it means, you should think about the wording yourself.”

The telegraph operator then sent the telegram to Zhang Haixiao. When Zhang Haixiao heard that Lin Yuan had sent him a telegram, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. When he saw the content of the telegram, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "In order to preserve our strength, , I absolutely cannot send troops again!"

Zhang Haixiao's side stood still, but Wu Dayong's troops were still struggling to support them. First, the Tenth Division in Shimen Town, they counterattacked immediately after holding back the attack of Wu Dayong's troops, and Wu Dayong's troops retreated steadily; followed by the Ninth Division , They also broke through the defense lines around Hetang Town and Tongxiang. This time they changed their style of play, focusing on squeezing persimmons, and the casualties were greatly reduced. They quickly surrounded Wu Dayong's two elite troops in the core.

According to Lin Yuan's instructions, the Ninth Division adopted the method of encircling the Qing troops in the encirclement without attacking and disturbing but not attacking. The troops organized firepower to block the escape route of the Qing troops, and harassed the Qing troops with artillery from time to time. At the same time, a large number of psychological warfare methods were used, and the Qing army surrendered one after another.

The Ninth Division broke through the defense lines of Hetang Town and Tongxiang, and surrounded Wu Dayong in Shimen Town.
