Mabibao faces the sea to the east and the official road to the west. Controlling this area will control the most convenient road from Luoyuan to Lianjiang in the south.

Wang Yide judged that if the escort troops landed, they would definitely choose this place. Compared with Lianjiang, this place was just a coastal stone fortress without any decent coastal defense.

Guo You did arrive here with his fleet, but he found that the siltation situation on the seaside here was very serious, and a large tidal flat had formed, and the warships of the escort army simply could not get close to within his range.

He had no choice but to choose the backup plan and go straight down to the Lianjiang River.

Li Huang, the general who liked to flatter others, escaped disaster in this way.

Lianjiang County is close to Aojiang. After the last bloody battle in Fuzhou City, some of the escorts evacuated along Aojiang, so Dong Liang was very familiar with this place.

When formulating the battle plan, he considered attacking Lianjiang as an alternative.

The width and depth of the bay at the mouth of the Aojiang River can fully allow the steam warships of the escort army to sail.

At this time, Wang Yide was leading the main force of the army towards Yingde Town. According to the news from the front line, the bandits in Yingde Town were not strong.

Gu Feixiong prepared to counterattack and destroy the escort, but he was worried that his troops were insufficient.

So Wang Yide decided to push forward Lian Jiang's main force.

Outside Yingde Town, the escort army also built a fortification on the north side of the town.

"Teacher, I'm thinking that these Qing troops are probably going to fight back," said Zhou Rulong, who was standing next to Dong Liang.

This boy looks very much like Zhou Tenghu's wife Zhao. He has a slender figure and fair complexion. He looks very much like a boy band boy from later generations, the type that can make girls scream.

"That's why we built fortifications. Our previous attack has exposed our strength. The Qing army is not a fool. They probably saw it."

"Teacher, can we stop them?"

Zhou Rulong shouldn't have asked this question. After all, he was not mature enough and couldn't think twice before speaking. If Su Da, he wouldn't have asked such a question.

Dong Liang had a very clear understanding of the characters of his students. Su Da had the talent of a prime minister and was very capable of learning and doing things. Especially when it came to dealing with people, he could not be said to have both sides. At least he

He is the most popular among the students.

Maybe he comes from a businessman family, so no matter who he talks to, Suda will feel very happy.

Zhuo Lang is a natural-born naval general who is eclectic in his work and extremely smart. Only such a character can adapt to this era of explosive naval technology.

Wang Xiaohu has a resolute character and is steady in his work. He will also be a brave general in the army in the future.

As for Zhou Rulong next to him, Dong Liang was still observing and had not planned his future.

In fact, what troubles Dong Liang the most is his own Jiaojiao. He really doesn't know what this girl can do in the future.

"The problem now is that we have to block them no matter what, so as to give Shan Yaodong and Wei Xin enough time to complete the encirclement. The Qing army wants to encircle us, and we also want to encircle them. Everyone knows where to go.

Position, at this time it depends on whose chess pieces are stronger. Once the encirclement is completed, the general trend will be determined. Like a dragon, you still remember what I told you, war is about building momentum. Whichever side's momentum overwhelms the opponent's, victory will be

Which side does it belong to?"

Wei Xin is the squadron leader of the fourth squadron of the teaching team. Their squadron stayed with Dong Liang and was responsible for the security work. However, this time a large part of the new army that Dong Liang gathered along the way was handed over to Wei Xin. This squadron was used as the

The skeleton set up a separate army, and they followed the fleet south to take charge of the landing operations.

Dong Liang's two newly established marine brigades were assigned to the Second Fleet, while the First Fleet lacked the strength to land. Wei Xin, a partial division composed of a teaching team and new recruits, happened to play the role of a landing force.

"Yes, teacher, we are like sitting in the middle of the chess game now. What really determines the outcome is the fight at the corners." Zhou Rulong said.

Dong Liang nodded, this child's understanding ability is still very strong.

While they were talking, the Qing artillery on the opposite side fired again, this time without warning.

Dong Liang knew very well that this was the prelude to their attack.

Such artillery fire would not cause any harm to the escort, because the escort's artillery had already hidden outside their range and set up bunkers.

The infantrymen were also hiding in bunkers.

Sure enough, the Qing army on the opposite side climbed over the low wall they had set up.

"Huh..." A big flag was raised above Yingde Town. This was the flag of Governor Wang Yide.

"The Governor is personally supervising the battle. Let's kill everyone. A bandit soldier is worth five taels of silver." The little leaders in the army shouted to the soldiers below.

Wang Yide did bring a large amount of money, and Qin Jinjian, the prefect of Fuzhou, was quite capable. Under the high pressure of the guards, the Manchu Qing court also showed an efficiency far beyond normal.

The Qing army climbed over the low wall and instantly burst out with astonishing momentum, like a charging orc army.

The sound of their shouts covered everything around them.

On the guard line, the new soldiers placed their muskets on the low wall and stared quietly ahead. Dong Liang came to the back of the low wall.

"They scream fiercely because they are afraid. They want to use their voices to cover up the fear in their hearts. Fear cannot improve the survival rate on the battlefield. If you want to survive, you must put aside fear. Hold your hands tightly

The gun is your most loyal partner and will bring you a sense of security. Keep your eyes on the front and wait for the orders from your squadron leader..." Dong Liang loudly comforted the new troops under his command.

If the Guards were regular troops, he wouldn't need to waste so much words. At this time, most of his men had just joined the Guards. They had not undergone systematic training, nor had they been baptized by war.

Dong Liang was very aware of their psychology at this time, and most teachers knew a little bit about psychology.

At this time, Xinjun was panicking. This is the most normal thing. His comfort can play a certain role. In fact, just standing here can already play an encouraging role. He simply said a few words

sentence, of course, the effect will be better.

Everyone already knows Dong Liang and knows that this is the head of state of the Chinese nation.

Dong Liang being able to stand by their side really made everyone feel more at ease.

The Qing army was advancing, and the battle evolved into a positional battle. The European armies of this era were still lining up to shoot, and the Manchu Qing army even insisted on the priority of riding and shooting.

No one knows positional warfare better than Dong Liang.

The artillery of both sides is outside the range of the other party's artillery, but if the Qing army wants to attack at this time, their men will first enter the artillery range of the escort.

Sure enough, "boom, boom, boom", the artillery fire from the rear of the escort also began, and the artillery brigade began to shoot at the attacking Qing troops.

Explosive bombs continued to explode in the Qing army's offensive formation.

In terms of range, the double-layered steel cannon used by the Guards was no better than the Qing army's red cannons, but the Guards' explosive ammunition technology had already surpassed the Qing army by half a street.

With Dong Liang's technical support and learning from foreign explosive ammunition technology, the escort army's explosive ammunition is already very stable in terms of stability.

As the technology of the escort army's flash cap factory gradually improved, Dong Liang was ready to manufacture impact fuses.

This is the necessary preparation before artillery enters the post-harem era.

"Okay, good fight."
