The dark sea was covered with densely packed small boats.
Each small boat has thirty soldiers.
At this moment, every soldier's face was filled with anxiety and worry, and his big head looked around, for fear that the boat would encounter a mine. In fact, there were not too many soldiers left on the battleship, only more than 400 people were left.
The people are all sailors, helmsmen, and even logistics personnel on the ship, totaling about a thousand people.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The battleships on the sea continued to explode, and as the seawater flowed into the battleships, they gradually sank into the sea.
"Crash!"
Huge waves arose and water splashed in all directions.
The soldiers who left in the boat encountered the most difficult thing.
"Bomb, there's a bomb!"
A crew member responsible for cleaning exclaimed loudly, with a look of fear on his face. Fortunately, the soldiers on the ship were calm and hung a silk net on the edge of the ship's side, gently blocking the floating mines. However, not all ships
No matter how lucky they are, there are also mines that hit the oars of rowing boats and exploded, overturning the soldiers on board and destroying the boats they were riding in.
Soldiers who know how to swim can swim to the shore.
If you don't know how to swim, try to flop a few times and then sink into the sea.
All the ships included more than forty small boats. After avoiding floating mines one after another and arriving at the shore, only nine ships were left. The rest were all blown up by mines and sank into the sea.
Baoling and Bourlon were relieved when they saw the ship docking.
When the two of them were sailing forward in the boat, their hearts were always hanging in the air, fearing that the boat would be blown over.
"Everyone get off the boat and get ashore immediately!"
After the nine ships ran aground, they could no longer move forward.
Bao Ling and Bourlon took the surviving soldiers, stepped on the beach, and walked towards the shore. Even if their lower body clothes and pants were wet, they could only admit defeat and survive.
Everything is fine now.
Bao Ling glanced at the people gathered, with a sad look on his face.
This time, it was a big setback.
How could he explain to the Governor of Hong Kong and the plenipotentiary envoy to China Wen Han that he had caused such a huge loss?
When Bao Ling thought of Wen Han, his forehead hurt.
Bourlon was also depressed and lost, but more importantly, he was thankful that he finally survived.
Listening to the explosions coming from the sea from time to time, Bourlon felt as if he was in a dream. In the afternoon, he and Bao Ling leisurely fished on the sea. By night, they had become deserters escaping in a hurry, abandoning more than 20 people on the sea.
A battleship. Even if this was not the entire combat power of Britain and France, it still caused huge losses.
Bao Ling said: "Bullon, immediately find a remote place to hide, and then send someone to inquire about Adams and Russell. If you show up in a arrogant manner, you will probably be caught by Li Zhen."
Bourlon said: "Yes, hide it immediately."
Immediately, the two men led the soldiers forward, preparing to find a place to rest.
"Brush! Brush!!"
After walking less than twenty meters, dazzling torches suddenly appeared in front of them. The dazzling firelight flickered uncertainly. The British and French soldiers who were accustomed to marching in the dark could not open their eyes, so they covered their eyes and looked at the situation ahead through the gaps.
.When they gradually adapted to the firelight and saw the situation clearly, they immediately made a loud noise.
Officers and soldiers!
The officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!
At this time, the soldiers and logistics personnel of the British and French coalition forces were dumbfounded.
Of course they were aware of the relationship between the two parties, and they could also figure out why the Qing officers and soldiers were waiting for them here. It was obvious that they first set off bombs to blow up the warships at sea, and then waited here for them to come ashore.
The British and French soldiers disembarked from the ship in a hurry, unarmed and without any weapons.
Now facing the dark muzzle, deep fear arose deep in my heart.
Bao Ling knew something was wrong and shouted in Chinese: "Who are you? How dare you block my way. I, the British Minister to China, are going to Shanghai to negotiate with Li Zhen. Please get out of the way and don't block the road."
"
This guy was very shameless, so when he saw that the situation was not going well, he immediately changed the situation to negotiation.
Bourlon also shouted: "I am the French Minister to China, and I also want to go to the city to negotiate with Li Zhen."
The two of them raised their heads and held their chests out, with arrogant expressions on their faces.
It is a pity that due to the previous rush and embarrassment, their hair was completely messed up, with drops of water dripping from the ends of their hair, and their trouser legs were wet with countless sediments. They did not have the image of ministers of a country.
. He looked exactly like a rat that everyone was shouting at and running away in panic.
The allied soldiers cooperated with Burlon and Bao Ling and cheered up.
"Hahaha... Neither the British minister nor the French minister were killed. What a bastard."
Among the officers and soldiers, a burly man with a gangster air walked out.
Carrying a gun, he strode up to Baoling and Burlong, poked Burlong in the chest with the gun, then poked Baoling in the thigh, and said: "Although it is already March, but
It's still a bit cold at night. You guys have been soaking in the sea water for so long and your lower body is wet. Don't you feel very cold? Anyway, I feel very cold."
The man shivered and seemed to be really cold.
Bao Ling and Burlong were so nervous that they didn't notice that their bodies were cold. Now that the man reminded them, they really took a breath and shivered from the cold.
"Ah sneeze!"
Some British and French soldiers even sneezed and got chills all over.
The man stared at Bao Ling and Burlong and said: "You two are the leaders, the culprits who ordered the attack on Shanghai, and the culprits who killed hundreds of my brothers, and even let my brothers die at sea and be buried in fish.
belly."
When it came to the emotional point, the man picked up the butt of his gun and hit Bao Ling hard on the face.
"Snapped!"
This time, the skin on Bao Ling's face burst and blood flowed.
Bao Ling fell directly to the ground, screamed in pain, and cursed the man in English. Bao Ling touched his ragged cheek with his hand, and his hand was covered with sticky blood. Bao Ling saw the man
The beast-like ferocious gaze made him frightened again, and he put his hands on the ground and retreated continuously. Bourlon was also frightened, and took small steps, trying to retreat among the soldiers.
At this moment, Burlon's envoy style has been thrown into the Java Kingdom.
The man rolled his eyes and shouted: "Bullon, you old brat want to escape, I will kill you immediately."
When Bourlon heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he could only stop. Looking at the man's fierce face, Bourlon forced a bitter smile on his face. However, Bourlon was still vigilant, for fear that the man would also attack him.
The man was not in a hurry to take action and asked: "Old man, do you know who I am?"
Bourlon shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
The man's face was as dark as water, and he yelled: "You bastard, you have killed so many of my brothers, and you still don't know me." As he spoke, the man raised the gun in his hand and shot at Bourlon.
"No, no!" Bourlon waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I really don't know you?"
The man stopped and asked again: "You really don't know me?"
"I don't know!" Bourlon said.
The man stared at Burlon, his eyes squinted, and said in a low tone, word for word: "Let me tell you, I am Lu Shaochuan, and I am the pirate you want to destroy."
When Bourlon heard this, his body froze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
