Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Guotou Village's water ghost became famous in this battle. This man with the harpoon in his hand acted like he was possessed by the sea god, killing in every direction under the boat. The two-foot-long harpoon made his way through the ship in a mysterious manner, and in a single move, three sailors were stabbed to death in the sea.

Bodies floated up one after another. The people on the deck watched helplessly as the blood spread out in the sea. The corpse appeared in front of their eyes and there were even some traces of sharks swimming in the distance.

"Quick, quick, quick..." "What are you all staring at? Hurry up and jump in …" The Captain was almost going crazy. He could guess what the Chinese people were up to with his heel, but there was no other choice but to tie the explosives.

Although the captain didn't know how these Chinese were planning to light the fire, but Europe already had a very primitive triggering device. Only God knew if Xiao Letian had imported some.

"No matter what kind of conspiracy these Chinese have, you have to get rid of the hidden dangers... Keep jumping down and surround them! "

French sailors fell down with a loud crash. At this time, even Shattered Waves could not sit still, although they did not understand the situation, they knew it was urgent, and at this time, a number of sailors had already entered the water.

After the sixth sailor was killed, the dying French sailors held onto his harpoon tightly. The exhausted water ghost was unable to snatch it back.

The soldier who swam over from the side stabbed the man in the back with a dagger. The nameless fisherman bent his body forward, his mouth wide open as if he was shouting.

Blood spurted out from the wound and his mouth. In the last moments before his death, he turned around to look at his brother. His gaze did not contain the fear of death.

The tears were salty, they were salty even when dissolved in the sea water. At that moment, the living water ghost felt that this stretch of sea was their tears. He let go of the hammer and let the hammer sink into the sea while his right hand held onto the flintlock tightly. He looked at the surrounding French sailors and actually let out a sneer.

"Bro, don't go too far, big brother will go with you!" "I will avenge you!" Her right hand suddenly exerted force, pulling the rope out of the wax seal. In that instant, sparks flew from the flint.

The explosion was irreversible even before the seawater poured into the gap.

At that moment, the surface of the sea rumbled loudly. The entire ship was blown out of the water. White waves rose up into the sky and the whole battlefield was filled with cries of alarm.

All the Frenchmen were dumbfounded. They turned their heads to look at the Twolegs, which had been blown in two, and for a moment they all forgot to kill, to be on the battlefield.

The flames from the explosion ignited the man's gunpowder vault. A chain reaction occurred in midair. Boom! Boom! The series of explosions caused the entire surface of the sea to feel like a rising sun.

The sharks that were looking for food in the distance were so scared that they had disappeared to who knows where. The sky was filled with corpses and shards of the ship's deck.

The current Shattered Waves was insane. Even though the distance of fifty meters was not too far, it was not too close. Although the power of the explosion could not destroy the structure of his ship, the fifty meters was the distance from where the shockwave was wreaking havoc. Countless sails caught the force of the shockwave.

In everyone's eyes, it was as if the Shattered Waves was forcefully pressed down by the sea goddess with her big invisible hand. The entire boat appeared to be at forty-five degrees and was about to capsize in the sea.

Fortunately, there was only one wave of force coming from the shock wave. When the main shock wave swept across the surface of the sea, the Shattered Waves jumped up from the surface of the sea like a released spring, and then fiercely crashed back into the sea.

It was this shock wave that saved the Shattered Waves's life. Just as the two water ghost s were about to pull the rope, a shock wave from the ocean suddenly struck them, causing them and the surrounding sailors to be dazzled.

Being unconscious in the ocean would obviously mean one's death. The two Guotou Village s would also lose their iron hammers at this time, they wanted to use their hands to hold the explosives bag, then pull the rope, since they didn't want to return alive, then die together.

But when they looked up, they saw that the wood that held the flintlock in place had actually fallen off during the shock. The seawater had already seeped into the flintlock, and the explosive package could no longer be touched.

The two water ghost s angrily smashed the boat board, they took out their harpoons from their waists and attacked the surrounding French sailors.

Right now, the north mountain trenches had already become a sea of cheers. Everyone on the battlefield jumped up and waved their middle fingers towards the sea, disregarding their own lives. "F * ck …" F * ck … "F * ck …"

This was the curse of the new army taught by Xiao Letian, and then the new army taught the citizens of Ryukyu. Now that the citizens had given the middle finger to the French, they finally had a chance to vent their anger.

"Retreat... Everyone, go back into the trenches! " Chu Zhao was still able to maintain his calm during this critical moment. He knew that the French would wake up soon from their shock, and when that happens, the angry Frenchman would definitely take revenge and charge forward.

"Hurry, hurry, don't cheer anymore, let's go back to the trench!" At the same time, the French commander finally recovered from his shock and gave the order to the marines in a rage.

"Charge! Take revenge for Treadmill!" Damn barbarians, how dare you sneak attack our French Fleet … "

"Kill!" There were angry roars from the French on the battlefield. As they opened fire, they charged up the hill, knocking down countless of young and strong people who were retreating. At the same time, they also heard the sounds of gunfire from the trenches.

Jin Sanshun and Lin Zhen were already so excited that they couldn't find the north anymore. They were the first people to propose making water mines with earth quality, and to be able to achieve such a great result just from thinking about it, they were already excited enough.

"Shoot …" Kill these large nose … Don't forget that this is a weapon donated by our King Family! "

"Shoot, everyone shoot, the idea that I, Lin Zhen, have came up with is really useful. If I say we can blow up, then we can blow up …"

"Lin Zhen, shut up. I was the one who thought of this!"

"Bullshit, I thought of that first. Furthermore, I stole the Flintlock from the experiment lab …"

"Bullshit, the glass in the laboratory was smashed by me!"

These two treasures unexpectedly still had the mood to quarrel at this time. This brought a somewhat relaxed smile to the incomparably desolate battlefield.

When all the soldiers and militia jumped back into the trenches, the French also weakened their charge, charging up from the ground. Furthermore, the defenders had the trenches, and their own side had lost its artillery cover. This kind of suicide attack was not what the French wanted.

Although these commanders and soldiers were very angry, they still strictly followed the military iron law. Throwing away the dozen or so corpses, they shot alternately, covering each other as they retreated back into the Guotou Village.

The battle was over. Both parties were in the process of licking their wounds. The Treadmill was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. The sight of its corpse and junk lying on the surface of the sea was shocking to behold.

The Shattered Waves had also lost its ability to fight. After the overturning power from just now, all the cannons and sundries in the ship had shifted, and many of the gunner s were killed by the moving cannons.

The cries of the injured could be heard on the deck and in the cabin, along with the cries of the weak. In such a chaotic situation, let alone fighting, it was probably impossible for them to even protect themselves.

If the Ryukyu were to send out a group of navy men, they would be able to capture the ship even if it was the most primitive kind of close combat sailors.

Xiang Ying who was in the north mountain trench also saw the clues. He stood on the highest reef with his binoculars and looked at the Shattered Waves that was slowly spinning on the surface of the sea.

"How nice would it be if we had a battleship in our hands right now? What if he had a few hundred brave sailors? As long as we rush up to the bow, we can capture this battleship... Damn it, damn it! "

Just as Xiang Ying was patting his thighs anxiously, from the west side of the ocean, which was the left side of the trench, the sound of a melodious horn sounded out. That sound was so familiar that even the little beauty Cai Bixia could hear it.

"Our navy! It was my father's navy! "They're finally here …"

Yes, it was not that Ryukyu Kingdom did not have a navy, but during this year and more, Xiao Letian had allocated countless resources and bought ten small scissor boat s, then asked the American Engineer to make them into battleships.

Xiao Letian and Cai Mao never thought that these ten battleships could be used on the battlefield, because these ten small sized scissor boat s that were left behind were not even qualified to be merchant ships.

Although he could not use it in battles, he still had a lot of money to be a training ship. Xiao Letian knew that a navy did not come from nowhere, nor was it something that you could just spend money on to buy the best warships.

The navy had always been a game for the elites. Without three or four years of training, a qualified Sailor could forget about getting promoted. Also, the gunner had to fire six or seven hundred rounds of artillery shells before they could board the battleship.

Captain, first mate, second mate, third mate, pilot, pilot's assistant, superintendent, operator, boatswain, one water, two water, carpenters, cooks … There are many types of skilled workers on the warship that you can't even imagine.

If the Iron-armored Ship were to enter the array in the future, there would be even more technical positions to be filled. Chief Engineer, Large Pipe Wheel, Two Pipe Wheel, Three Pipe Wheel, Turbine Assistant, Motor Engineer, Machine Master, Machine Craftsman... Even gas and pincers had to be equipped.

With such a shortage of talents that could not be trained in a day, the ten scissor boat s only had one goal, which was to train more talents.

General Cai Mao was very clear on how strong the training ship could be, so the moment the battle had just started, he had ordered the fleet to head north and hide in the reef area of the northern seas.

This reef area was located right between the Naha Harbor and himself. This was the place where small-sized ships swam, and this was where the heavy ships lived.

If not for the fact that Xiang Ying, Cai Bixia and the others personally showed up at the most critical moments, these ten battleships would not have been moved at all by anyone.

During their journey to the north, when they were passing by a small path on the Northern Mountain's cliff, it was precisely Cai Bixia, who had the sharpest eyes, who discovered the traces of the fleet. It was also at her request that three out of the ten scissor boat s came to support the Guodan Sea.

Who said that the second generation officials were popinjays? In this war of defense for the Ryukyu, Xiang Ying and a few other officials made a great contribution.
