Chapter 99 Dragon Plan No. 17: The Correct Way to Open the Heavenly Time (Part 1)

 Three days, three full days.

The Kowloon Peninsula is all storms.

Three days later, the river water surged within a radius of 100 miles near the Shenzhen River, and the Shenzhen River instantly became a big river.

The violent river water washed down the floating bridge built by the Qing army, separating the two camps in Yuen Long and Fanling from the two camps on the north bank.

This made Guangzhou General Yongwei frown in his brows, but his master comforted him: "Master, it's okay, both camps have more than 20,000 people, and the barbarian thieves have only six or seven thousand. If they defend Jiulong City and ask us to take the initiative to attack, the situation is actually not good for us."

"Because it has the advantage of firearms"

"If we take the initiative to attack, we will have to divide the troops. According to Suha, they have two brigades, each brigade of 3,000 people. If we leave the city guards, we can dispatch up to 4,000 people."

"It is impossible for four thousand people to attack our two camps at the same time. They can only attack one place, but once they attack one place, I can rush to help another place and surround it and annihilate it"

"From the students' perspective, most of them will not move and will definitely wait for me to attack"

"What's more, this hurricane season in Guangdong comes and goes quickly. In a few days, the river water will disappear significantly. Then you can build a floating bridge on the Shenzhen River."

After saying something, Yongwei couldn't help but calm down.

Fanling Daying.

Fanling, to the north is the Shenzhen River, to the west is the Pisces River, to the east are Wutong Mountain Rebirth and Baxian Ridge. There is only a valley between Wutong Mountain and Baxian Ridge leading to the seaside.

Yantian Bay, where Yantian Port is later, there is a narrow bay that extends into the inland. There is a small road connecting Fanling and Yantian Port in later generations.

Not far south of Fanling is another bay that extends into the inland - Chuan Bay. Close to the west end of Chuan Bay is a path connecting Kowloon and Fanling.

The Qing army naturally wanted to occupy such a critical area, but due to the narrow terrain and the dominance of the Truqins at sea, they finally gave up. Before the official launch, they still placed most of their troops in two camps.

Although it was a storm, during the typhoon season, the first and second day of the wind was obviously the biggest wind. The rain was extremely heavy in the next few days, but the wind was gradually weakening, but this was no different for the Qing army.

On the evening of the third day, a Tengis drove into the bay of ships braved heavy rain and thunder, and then a thousand Marines came down from above!

There were a total of 1,500 Marines who arrived here with the fleet this time, but this time there were actually 1,000 people!

These people were wearing raincoats and carrying waterproof backpacks. After getting off the boat, they ran towards Fanling.

In the past two days, Fanling and Yuen Long areas seemed to be stormy, but in the nearby mountains and forests, Truchen's intelligence personnel and scouts launched a small-scale battle with the Qing army's spies. Because of their superior weapons and targeted training, they finally won a great victory.

In the end, the Qing army spies had to withdraw from this area.

Finally, the investigators established a hidden position in the rain on Huamei Mountain on the south side of Fanling!

After the Marine Corps arrived near Huamei Mountain, a battalion carried mortars of fifty to 100 kilograms to Huamei Mountain, while the other two battalions set up blocking positions on the path leading to Jiulong.

This position is naturally built with straw bags you carry with you to fill the soil. They not only occupied the path, but also controlled the commanding heights on both sides of the path!

Here we will talk about the particularity of Fanling area.

Because there are rivers to the north and west, when it encounters heavy rain, it immediately becomes a river with a water level of up to five or six meters and a width of more than twenty meters. Once it is attacked, it can only go east and flee south.

To the south is Kowloon, they definitely wouldn't do this, so they could only escape through the valley between Wutong Mountain and Baxian Ridge through the north bank of Yantian Bay to the Yantian Port area in later generations.

However, why did these Marines block their route to escape south? They wouldn't have fled there?

Besides, didn’t you build a secret artillery position on Lion Mountain? Attracting the Qing army to the vicinity of Jiulong City, using the cannons in the city and the cannons on Lion Mountain is the best way to kill the enemy in large quantities.

But Timur did this.

On the fourth day, the rain stopped, but the river was still full.

"Boom..."

A Saiyin ship arrived from Shenzhen Bay to the west.

In fact, if the Truqin fleet approached the coastline at this time, it could use the cannons on the ship to bombard the Qing army's Yuen Long camp, but they did not do so.

After the Saiyin ship sailed into the Shenzhen River, it headed eastward, arrived near Fanling, then turned south through the Pisces River, and soon arrived near the Qing army camp!

"Boom..."

The artillery on Saiyin number launched an offensive against the Qing army camp!

Now the commander of the Fanling Camp, Guangxi Governor E Bao was stunned. At this time, he could only pray that the shells would not fall on his head.

What puzzled him was that Saiyin number only bombarded for a while and left behind more than 20,000 terrified Qing troops.

But their nightmare is not over yet.

After Saiyin left, the Marine Corps, which had already established a mortar position on Huamei Mountain, began to show their power!

The top of Huamei Mountain is only a few hundred meters away from the Qing army camp, and it happens to be within the range of the Truqin army's mortars with a range of more than 50 kilograms!

At this moment, the Saiyin number appeared again, and cooperated with the artillery on Huamei Mountain to launch a new round of bombardment on the camp!

As mentioned earlier, Saiyin No. originally had only one rotating turret, but after modification, it only added two artillery on both sides of the first deck. Although there were not many artillery, it could bombard the west side of the camp, which left the Qing army helpless.

The Truqins' twelve centimeters and fifteen kilograms of cannons can range up to four miles, basically covering the entire Qing army camp. With the mortar shells flying from the mountain, the Qing army immediately felt the urgency of "the army was approaching".

The Qing army camp, E Bao, who occupied the village in his heart, was completely out of his mind.

Just now, a burst of artillery exploded near the village. That means, if he hadn't been lucky, the shells would have fallen into the village!

He was not going to stay here anymore, so he quickly attracted Mei Haiquan, the Guangxi general who was making meritorious due to the "collusion between the Heaven and Earth Association".

"General Mei, what do you think about the current situation?"

Mei Haiquan said: "Although the enemy is coming in a fierce manner, the sound of cannons is not dense. Huamei Mountain is near the camp. The ministry is willing to take some troops to the mountain and recover this mountain first."

"What else?"

"Sir, the Shenzhen River can walk on a large ship when it rains heavily, but the rain here comes and goes quickly. As soon as one day or three days at the latest, the river water will subside to the point where the big ship cannot travel. After careful observation, although the cannons on this ship are fierce, they are too few"

"The cannons on Huamei Mountain can only hit the edge of the camp, so the ministry recommends that the camp be shrink, and while stay away from the Pisces River and Huamei Mountain, attack Huamei Mountain"

"When the river water subsides, the barbarian artillery fire offensive will be reduced immediately, and then we will have no worries..."

"Report..."

At this moment, there was a burst of shouting outside.

This is the voice of Mei Haiquan's personal soldiers.

When the Qing army set up a camp, the surrounding reconnaissance was obviously completed by the former Green Camp soldiers. Mei Haiquan led the Guangxi wolf soldiers. Because Guangxi and Guangdong geography and climate are very similar, and the wolf soldiers are good at climbing mountains and wading waters, it is very appropriate to serve as a sentry detective.

Mei Haiquan looked at E Bao, and E Bao thought to himself: "If it weren't for an urgent matter, Mei Haiquan's people wouldn't have found this place directly"

Then nodded.

Soon, a short but very tough wolf soldier came in.

"Qi Bing Junmen, Master, I found a barbarian thief on the small road south of our army camp!"

"Oh?" E Bao's heart was beating wildly. Although the cannons rumbled on the boat and the mountain did not hit him in the end, it would be bad if the barbarian thieves came from the south.

"How exactly?"

Mei Haiquan is a long-time general, but he was not panicked after hearing this.

"Master, the barbarian thieves set up camps about five miles south from our army camp, and set up artillery at high places on both sides. After seeing this, the vocational department immediately took a small number of people to find out, but the artillery was extremely fierce on the road, and the one who met me lost 30%"

"When the vocational department saw this, he had to bring the remaining people back and report"

E Bao was shocked, and Mei Haiquan saw this and said, "The military gate is worry-free, and the general is willing to take all the wolf soldiers to seize the camp in the south."

E Bao nodded, he pretended to be calm, and then said, "This matter is very important, and it will be careless for a moment. In this way, I immediately detoured from the east to the Duke's camp and reported everything to him. Now the two camps are blocked by the river and the news is out of touch"

"The river surface is occupied by barbarian warships again. I don't know how anxious the Duke is. We wait for the slaves to explain everything to him immediately. During this period, you should first take the wolf soldiers to attack tentatively. If you succeed quickly, it is naturally good. If the attack is unfavorable for a long time, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Let's talk about it when I come back"

Mei Haiquan had to nod.

At that moment, E Bao took about a thousand Biaoying, the governor of Guangxi, led by Biaoying deputy general Yiertai, and walked out of the east gate of the camp and quickly walked east along the path between Wutong Mountain and Baxian Ridge.

Mei Haiquan did not break his promise. He was also carrying the horrific charge of "collusion between heaven and earth to plot against him". If he had no achievements, he would undoubtedly die. When E Bao and others left, he personally led a thousand elite wolf soldiers to the Truqin camp in the south.

However, the Truchens' fighting style was completely beyond his imagination.

In the past, if they were fighting in the mountains, even if there was a fortress blocking the road, their wolf soldiers could still go around the back or side of the camp with their amazing physical fitness, and then suddenly launch an attack. The wolf soldiers were extremely fierce and most of them would be in trouble.

But the Truchens didn't give him this opportunity.

Not only did they block the road, but they also completely took down several nearby commanding heights. When they saw a large group of people, they would have shelled. If a small group of enemies came up, the muskets in their hands would be fast and accurate, which made the wolf soldiers, who had always been extremely arrogant, unable to raise their heads.

Mei Haiquan personally brought three hundred elite soldiers to the vicinity of the camp on the road. The people in front carried shields, and the people behind rushed over with the machetes unique to the wolf soldiers.

But he was soon shocked and frightened.

The enemy's artillery was not solid bullets, but grenades. After the explosion was heard nearby, the shield in his hand had no effect at all. Soon, all the shields in front died, and then the enemy had another dense shotgun. After two encounters, half of his three hundred people were killed and injured!

Mei Haiquan was frightened. When he thought of E Bao's words, he did not attack him again, but retreated.

At this time, Saiyinhao on the river and the shelling on Huamei Mountain were thrown to continue.

E Bao's sudden departure, and the news that the elite wolf soldiers in Mei Haiquan returned in a defeat immediately spread throughout the camp.

Plus the sound of cannons that never stopped around.

The camp is in full swing.
