Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The fifth station was a new town which was completely dependent on the canal. Before the canal was dug out, this was the place where the commoners rested. After the canal was opened up, the location was unique and just right at the entrance to the northern canal of Great Bitter Lake.

The town controlled the canal, and every day it witnessed countless ships entering and exiting. However, this was only a port resupplying the water, not a commercial port. Therefore, there weren't many sailors who would choose to come ashore here, nor would there be any wharf areas on a large scale. This was because over 90% of the ships anchored directly on the surface of the lake, so there was no need to dock.

But today, the locals' horizons were broadened. When the artillery shelling started for more than 10 minutes, the Chinese battleship that was preparing to enter the river channel suddenly put down dozens of small boats. Soon, the fully armed soldiers began to use ropes to quickly descend onto the boats.

Each boat was full of twelve people, just enough to carry a squad. The silent marines, without any noise, followed the gestures of the officers, and in the dark night they began to approach the shore like ghosts.

At first, they didn't even attract the attention of the people on shore, but eventually the British battleship found them.

"Look …" The Chinese are fighting for the beach! "Oh god, they're going to war, they have guts …"

The layman watched the show while the expert observed the situation. The British veterans were already shocked by the Chinese landing maneuver. The details included the devil as they saw a completely different and highly efficient landing strategy.

The thick ropes were attached to the sampans on the side of the battleship. These soldiers had easily thrown them into the books after a few rolls. Those complicated knots were actually even more nimble than British sailors.

Soldiers climbed from the deck of a warship to the surface of a sea sampan. The British usually used soft rope ladders, but these Chinese were more efficient. They actually used a rope to descend, and they had strange pulleys hanging from their waists.

With one hand holding the rope and the other controlling the pulleys at their waists, the soldiers were actually able to descend from the deck into the boat at a fast speed. They only braked when they were close to the water surface.

It was too fast. In the eyes of the British, the Chinese soldiers were like ghosts as they flew down from the deck. Soon, a small boat was filled with soldiers.

Without a single word of nonsense, under the rhythmic gesture of the class monitor, the ten soldiers slid left and right on the wood pulp. The speed of the boat was as fast as a flower girl flying on the water surface.

Twenty small boats, a whole two hundred odd Chinese Navy Marines, from the time the boats were released to the time they all landed, only fifteen minutes had passed.

"What a miracle! How did this group of Chinese train themselves to... Who did they learn how to control the speed of the rope? There is no such tactical skill in Europe! "

It was not only the British who were surprised, but now that the French had discovered the ghosts of the landings, the horsemen turned pale with fright. The Chinese actually landed... This was a provocation towards the France! "They actually dare to land with their weapons …"

The Frenchman became anxious. Previously, at the Suez Port, although the Chinese Army had landed, they did not carry any weapons with them.

But now, there were actually two hundred fully armed soldiers that managed to forcefully enter the France without being told. This was simply a declaration of war.

The hooves of the horses rumbled as they moved forward, the group of French cavalry ghosts shouted, "Stop …" Everyone stop... This is the territory of the France, who allowed you to bring your weapons and go ahead! "All of you, stand still …"

The group that they had bumped into was the Foreign Legion led by Bing Tai and, also known as the knife drawing team. Just now, they had delivered the beautiful Princess of Arabian to them, which meant that their warship was the closest to the Zhiyuan Warship.

With the urgent situation at hand, of course the soldiers on board were the first to enter the battle. With five hundred Foreign Legion s, the two foster sons of Xiao Letian transferred two hundred of their elite soldiers onto the shore.

Before they had landed, these Foreign Legion had specially made oil paint to paint a large picture of themselves. This was another innovation of the Chinese Army, and that was camouflage.

When this outfit appeared, it scared all of the French cavalry present so much that their hearts trembled, and even their warhorses shouted in disagreement.

"I'm sorry! There are unidentified armed men firing at the Zhiyuan Warship, to protect Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom and the leader of the Chinese army, we have to go ashore to investigate … "

"Our target is the sand dune where the cannons will be fired. As long as you do not stop us, we will definitely not place a single bullet or a single bullet on your head … Foreign Legion, listen to my orders! The Western Artillery Army's position, charge! "

"No …" More than a hundred French cavalry people immediately rushed over, forming a line of war horses that firmly blocked the Foreign Legion, forming a crescent moon-shaped encirclement, and squeezed it little by little.

"Retreat!" This is France's land, go back … "

"Dammit, why are there artillery shells attacking us on your land? The culprit is you guys, get out of the way! "

The smell of gunpowder in the port immediately became stronger, causing Ferdinand to be unable to sit still any longer. He rushed out of the room he was hiding, riding his horse quickly towards the location of the conflict.

"French Egyptian Consul Fei Dinanzijue arrives... Chinese soldier please return to the warship immediately … "We have full authority to take care of this attack, and we will give you all an explanation …"

"An explanation?" I don't need to explain, we want war criminals! "

Hearing the Chinese cursing, Ferdinand's face became as red as fire. "Shameless, ignorant barbarian! Don't you know what the law is? We French have the authority to enforce the law here in the canal, and you have no right to overtake us … "

Everything had gone awry, and Ferdinand's plan had gone awry. Firstly, he did not expect that the Zhiyuan Warship would not return or stop to retaliate after being bombarded, but instead continued forward without hesitation. This was the first point he did not expect.

And secondly, he really didn't think that the Chinese would dare to rush to land and send infantry ashore, how dare they!

At this moment, Xiao Letian, who was in the Zhiyuan Warship s, finally laughed gloomily, "One power defeats ten, this is the answer I give you, the French people! "We'll have to plot and plot to solve it …"

"Send a signal to our Foreign Legion! "Fuck you …"

Whoosh … A bright flame shot into the sky, and the blood red flame exploded in the sky. With a 'pa' sound, the entire Great Bitter Lake could see it clearly.

"Ah …" The Führer gave the order! Attack at all costs... Sword Draw Assault! "Here's Duck …"

With the sound of Katana being pulled out of its scabbard, Foreign Legion was the first to enter the battle.
