Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Niu Duofu and the others thought that they would be facing two ordinary pirate ship, but when they were close enough, they realized that the two boats were very unique in style and that they were both Chinese.

The Zodiac and the Roman had originally thought that it was a nosy merchant ship, but when they got closer, they realized that it was filled with armed sailors.

Between the two ships, the identity of the enemy and friend was completely made known to the world. Niu Duofu naturally knew about the war in Ryukyu.

However, the Wind Changer's route did not pass through the Ryukyu, but directly headed north to resupply from the Nine Prefectures. The most important thing was that the Wind Changer had an even more important mission.

However, they never thought that they would be unable to avoid the incoming war even if they wanted to. Sometimes, even if they wanted to, the scissor boat would just get to BoHai and meet a French battleship disguised as a pirate.

"If this group of pirates wasn't part of the regular army, I'd give you guys my eyeball …" Since when could pirates be so extravagant as to use two identical warships? "Damn, even European pirates in the Atlantic are not so extravagant, right?"

"I am also from a foreign country. I can recognize a Frenchman's face … The brothers continued to fire, the pirates were the French pretending to be... "

Niu Duofu's mind raced, two frigate s disguised as pirate ship s and a whole ship full of foreign faces, one after another valiant and precise battle moves, added to the fact that they had already passed Liaodong Peninsula and the waters of Jinzhou.

With all the clues gathered together, Niu Duofu immediately got his answer. "Fuck, these two French battleship wanted to ambush our Industrial Zones, they are heading towards there …. "The sails are full of speed, let's go inform the villagers …"

At this time, Captain Kraft, who was on the Heavenly Zither seat, woke up from the shock of the attack. He shouted loudly, "Only the Letian Firm could afford such a good scissor boat in the Bohai Bay. This is Xiao Letian's boat, and also his soldiers … Chase after them and kill them all! "

Captain Kraft pulled out his revolver, rushed up to the bow of the ship and gave a kick, then beat up the soldiers beside the Sea Maiden up. "Damn things, if you didn't get these women distracted, how could we be at a disadvantage?"

"Get up, we need to work immediately, prepare the chain bomb, and attack the scissor boat's sail …" The naked soldiers let the captain kick them around and ran off to work.

As for the three sea women tied to the rope, their bodies were covered in blood as they stared at Captain Kraft hatefully, "Lord Buddha will send you to hell …" "The Dragon King will devour all of you …"

Kraft didn't understand what Sea Maiden was saying, but he could feel the hatred within her. "Damn woman, you caused us to be ambushed, and you still dare to scold me?" "Let's go to hell …"

Three gunshots rang out, and three snowflakes appeared on Hai Nü's forehead. The hostility in Captain Kraft's heart finally dissipated a little. "Someone, throw these three piles of rotten meat into the sea …" Charge at full speed and catch up with that damned scissor boat!

The Zodiac was the unluckiest in this attack. He was the first one to be hit by the bullet, and he was the same as when the scissor boat passed by him and got hit by the torrential rain.

Roman was the first to adjust his posture, the cannon on the side had opened ten cannons, and ten cannons had already been loaded with the most primitive ammunition.

"Fire …" The order came from the cabin, and amidst the rumbling sounds of explosions, ten spinning black figures flew towards the Wind Changer while howling strangely.

Chain bombs, this was a very ancient sea battle weapon. The principle behind it was very simple. Two small shot balls were connected together by a chain and then stuffed into the barrel together.

When the impact of the gunpowder explosion sent the two shot balls flying, the two shot balls quickly formed a rotating force that was like a meat grinder, flying toward the enemy ship.

In the sails and ships era, the masts were filled with mooring cables that could easily be mixed together and destroyed by a chain bomb.

The 10 black shadows swiveled and shot towards the Wind Changer, at this time, Captain Niu Duofu who had a lot of experience had already ordered the boat to move in a zigzag pattern, in order to avoid the enemy's cannonballs.

Seven out of ten cannonballs landed in the sea, only three of them hit the sails. The huge spinning force entangled dozens of ropes together, and the sound of the ropes breaking immediately filled the air.

Once the taut rope snapped, the sudden burst of power made the rope whip in the air like an iron whip. A soldier who couldn't dodge in time was hit in the chest with the rope.

Swoosh … The soldier staggered back three steps before spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. There were also black pieces in the blood, indicating that his internal organs had been crushed.

"Be careful..." Beware of dodging... Damn it! "Brothers, which one of you is going to tie up the rope, then tie it down with military merits …" Niu Duofu roared.

Xiao Letian's new army was so proud, you might not even have the motivation to talk about giving it to the silver, but if you were to talk about military merits, all of the soldiers were going crazy.

What was military merits? Military merits were the cornerstone for promotion, enlistment into military academies, and becoming a general in the future. Military merits were the guarantee for future titles, and it was even the life and fortune of future generations.

More importantly, military merits were the pride of the military. When they walked in front of the Prime Minister, even the Prime Minister would have to pick a big brother.

"Don't fight with laozi, laozi's Sailor Arts first …" A group of sailors were like a group of nimble monkeys as they climbed up the mast, carefully avoiding the swinging rope. They took the opportunity to grab onto their strength and used the old rope to fix their position on the mast.

However, they underestimated the despicability of the French. Just when most of the ropes were already fixed, the Zodiac had already adjusted its firing angle, the furious Captain Kraft had transformed his facial features, and the finger Wind Changer had "loaded the grapes …" Blast those Sailor s to death! "

Bang bang bang bang, the sea surface was covered in flames and smoke, a black cloud formed from grape shot balls pounced towards Wind Changer, the Sailor who was caught off guard was instantly beaten into a sieve.

"No …" Niu Duofu roared. He never thought that these French devils would be so sinister … Forget about the sails, left rudder is thirty, go in a big zigzag, throw them off with your speed … As long as we return to the Tanggu, victory will be ours! "

The Grape Bullets were the trump card in naval warfare. In fact, this thing was called the Bullets of the Endeavour. One shot would create tens of thousands of lead bullets that would fly towards the enemy like a dark cloud, causing a great deal of damage to the sailors on the deck and on the masts.

Every single one of the soldiers on the Wind Changer were all the Prime Minister's treasures. If they were to die with heartache, Xiao Letian would rather throw away the ship than lose her life.

A single scissor boat was advancing forward, and the two frigate behind it were chasing after it with all their might. Moreover, they were even trying to fire their cannons at the same time, so regardless of how accurate the cannons were, it looked quite frightening.

The three ships all had different degrees of damage to their sails, but in general, the loss of the Wind Changer sails was a little higher. From the speed of the ships, it could be seen that the heavy frigate s could actually run at the same speed as the scissor boat s.

From the Tanggu to the Jin Prefecture, not to mention fleeing for their lives, it was not even a full day. After twenty hours of chasing and battling, the Wind Changer had already seen the opening of the river from afar, as well as the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement.

"We're home, we're home …" To send the signal in flag language to the Special Administrative Region, to send the signal to the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement... The French are calling … "

At the same time, the crowd on the pier of the Tanggu Industrial Special Zone also saw the scissor boat speeding towards them from the east. The Wind Changer of Letian Firm! "Good heavens, how did they do that? The sails were all smashed, what kind of flag were they sending us?"

"This is the Wind Changer … Behind my ship, there are two French warships disguised as pirate ship, attempting to attack the Tanggu. Please fire the cannons from the Da Gu Kou's cannons! The French battleship are coming for us … "

The sailors in the crowd started to translate the flag language using their binoculars. After they finished translating the flag language, the commander of the defending army, Liu Lang, ran over with Tie Toutuo.

"Oh no, the Wind Changer did not know that we have started a war here …" Send a signal to Niu Duofu for the Wind Changer to flee towards the north … Dodge the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement! "

Liu Lang's reminder struck like a bolt of lightning, waking everyone up as the crowd on the dock frantically waved their hands, "Retreat northwards … Dodge the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement... The Purging Demons s have all gone crazy … "

The Da Gu Kou's Cannon Platform was built during the Ming Dynasty. In the years of Dao Guang and Xian Feng, it was expanded, and there were a total of sixty cannons guarding a troop of close to ten thousand people.

When Maylor had first attacked the Special Zone, he had also thought of using the Da Gu Kou's cannons to bombard the Special Zone. However, when he looked at the cannons on the ground, he was completely dumbfounded. These sixty or so cannons were the oldest red iron cannons, and their muzzles could only be adjusted to a limited angle towards the sea.

The Da Gu Kou was located on the north side of the Sea River, so unless these cumbersome cannons could adjust the angle of 90 degrees and rush towards the north, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Liu Lang and the others.

Feeling extremely helpless, Maylor could only use the empress dowager's orders to mobilize more than three thousand people to serve under him. Furthermore, he knew that since they were so close to the Letian Firm, they would probably already be fed with silver and wouldn't sincerely attack the Industrial Zones.

Without stopping, Maylor began to add sand to the personnel on the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement, and stuffed in his own hardcore direct line of descent. Who would have thought that these direct descendants would be so useful today?

"What the hell is a ship on the sea doing? You, you, you, you … "Come here and translate it for this master …"

When Maylor's trusted aides heard that it was actually Xiao Letian's merchant ship and the person chasing after them was the ancestor of France, their eyes immediately turned red. Little guys, load the shells and sink that ship... What was his name? Oh, right, Wind Changer … "

"Fire, Blast the Wind Changer …"
