Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Boom … Kacha Kacha … Two Prussian freighters filled with sails crashed into it. The French freighter with the yellow sand couldn't dodge in time; one was knocked over the sea and the other had a hole more than a meter wide in the water.

The sea water poured in with all its might, and the yellow sand that could be seen with the naked eye flowed into the bottom of the sea. This was the fate of the Wine God's ship, and the dilapidated wooden planks could not withstand the impact of the new ship.

The Dover was not much better. Although there were no cracks on the side of the ship, the huge impact caused the entire hull to overturn. The sand on the side of the ship immediately began to slide downwards.

The center of gravity of the entire ship suddenly shifted. More than ten tons of yellow sand pressed down on the other side of the ship, increasing the speed of overturning.

The sea was filled with the screams of the French sailors. The Wine God was sinking and the Dover was capsizing. The sailors were instantly divided into two factions.

One group was made up of sailors from the French army, who had launched a countercharge against the two Prussian warships, while the other group was made up of ordinary civilian sailors who were not prepared to fight and who jumped into the sea to swim to safety.

In the distance, the counselor, who was watching with a telescope, angrily smashed the telescope. "These bastards who deserve to go to hell!" Have you forgotten that you are also Europeans? Why help the Chinese? Why did you help pagan... "

"Fire, where is our shore defense turret? Why not fire... A free meal! "

It was already seven in the morning, and the sun had already jumped out of the surface of the ground, bathing the Port Said in a golden light. Seeing that the mission had been completed, the intelligence officer of both countries whistled loudly to each other and began to retreat.

The spies on the freighter abandoned their ships and jumped into the sea. After a series of bubbles, they swam to an unknown destination, while the spies on the ground began to dig into the alleyway. After paying a large price, the remaining spies completely disappeared.

This was a tragic attack. The British and French side had dispatched more than 40 core intelligence officer s and more than 70 peripheral spies, and after the mission was completed, the French had cleared a total of 45 corpses. This showed how tragic the casualties were.

Two kilometers west of the dock, the French shore defense cannons were finally ready for battle. Two cannons were aimed at the Prussian cargo ship, and under the angry command of the officers, they issued a loud roar.

The high explosive projectile cut across the sky and accurately hit the Prussian cargo ship, to Large-scale Gun for Coastal Defense, the cargo ship was like a dumpling with a thin layer of skin. The violent explosion caused the sea surface to shoot out a ball of fire, the shock wave shredded the deck of the tungsten wood vessel, and the sky was filled with splashing wooden stumps.

The surrounding fishing boats and cargo ships were unlucky. Many of the sails had been pierced into a sieve by the torrential downpour.

Flames were burning on the keel of the sunken cargo ship, and the rising water had extinguished those flames. The smell of burnt flesh was spreading in the air.

Now, the highest commander of the Port Said's France side was the Counsellor under Consul Ferdinand's command. He stood where the conflict had happened, her face ashen as she looked at the faintly discernable wreckage of the ships on the sea.

"What are you still standing there for?" Gather the nearest cargo ship and set out to block the river... "Hurry, let the army come out!"

"But …" But the Counsellor, they did not have time to prepare the sand and stone, this kind of wooden boat shouldn't be able to stop the Zhiyuan Warship, right? "It will be washed to pieces …"

"Shut up! Are you an idiot? If one of them doesn't work, then make ten for me … "If there's no sand, you can just buy all the goods on the ship for me. Buy whatever is heaviest …"

"Yes!" "Lord …" The French commander immediately took action, and the pier was immediately filled with the sound of running chickens and dogs.

If you were to say that a sunken ship had blocked the river, then not just any ship would be qualified to do so. The size of the fishing boat was too small, and the belly of the cargo ship was too big, so they would need ballast.

In fact, the best ones were still the warships, but right now, the Port Said only had a few cannons protecting the sea. All of the large warships that could block the river were not at the port.

Ships were the lifeblood of sea merchants, especially in Ocean trade, many captains were very superstitious. They had a very deep affection for the cargo ships that had been with them for many years, and there were even some faint taboos about them.

The sudden appearance of a strong fighter naturally angered countless merchants in Europe, and curses were being shouted everywhere on the dock.

The French did not dare to bully the British merchant ships. Since the French had to pay attention to the taste of incense, they had no choice but to attack the merchant ships of other countries.

It was so noisy. There were curses coming from everywhere, and all sorts of European accents were coming together to make a racket. Even the Counsellor's brain began to vibrate with a buzzing sound.

"Hurry up, hurry up …" Seeing that the clock in his pocket was already 7: 20, yet he still hadn't found a single boat blocking the river, the Counsellor painfully hit his head.

However, what could he do about it? It was not easy for a sail ship to sail from quietness. All the sailors who were familiar with the ship had to be in position to set sail and then set sail … All sorts of preparations would take at least half an hour.

The Counsellor was also an old sailor. Of course, he knew the rules of sailing in the sea. He also knew that it was useless to be anxious.

His heart felt like it was being tormented by a pot of oil. Just as he was scratching his head in confusion, a melodious horn sounded from the tall lighthouse at the end of the seawall in the distance.

"Coming …" "It's here …" From afar, he could hear the faint sounds of people crying out in alarm. It was as if waves of waves were crashing towards him.

The counselor grabbed his binoculars and looked into the distance, only to find that his line of sight was blocked by many ships. "Give me the ladder, I'll go to the roof!" "Idiot …"

Ignoring the shouts and curses of the locals, a group of Frenchmen climbed up a ladder onto the roof of a house and almost stepped on it.

Now that he could see clearly, the outline of a battleship appeared clearly in his field of vision in the northwest. The counselor stomped his feet in excitement. "Great, great …" is our ship... Our battleship! "

"Inform the signal right away and command the battleship to enter the canal." It was extremely urgent! "It's extremely urgent …"

The heralds were running madly, the flags on the lighthouses were waving their signal flags, and the ships that were forcibly conscripted in the harbor were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

It was indeed the French fleet, with the flagship Mariana at the front. Captain, who had just woken up, let Arnold, who was wiping his face with a towel to refresh his body, when the door of his cabin was smashed open. A aide-de-camp who had not slept for the entire night rushed in.

"Captain! Signal from Port Said... "It's extremely urgent …"

"Calm down!" "What does it look like …"

"I... Me, Me, Me... He couldn't calm down! The Consul did not stop the Chinese, and now the united fleet was closing in on the Port Said … If we don't go up there, the Chinese will come out! "

"What!?" "God, how is that possible?"

With a clang, a bucket of water was poured onto the deck.
