Chapter 184 Come to the Qing Dynasty, to fight the Russian devils

The red day gradually sank under the horizon, and the night opened quickly, but the port of Vladivostok in the distance became brighter and brighter!

Flames rose from under every rubble, and the explosion was still continuing. The red light reflected half of the sky, but this had nothing to do with the Pacific Fleet. The fleet had all withdrawn from the bay, and it was a little stronger than when it came.

Ten huge convoys that have been following the fleet have finally arrived. In normal times, the carrying capacity of one such a cargo ship can completely fill the ammunition compartments of four battleships. With the scale of the Pacific Fleet at this moment, two ships are enough to replenish ammunition alone, but this time it is completely different.

Although each cargo ship has two cranes on each side, it is still insufficient in the face of empty warships. In addition, the cabin in the warship is narrow, so it is very difficult to supply at sea, especially armor-piercing shells weighing hundreds of kilograms, which is simply the number one enemy of supply!

If two cargo ships are used and resupply on the sea, it is not enough for dozens of hours. Finally, after discussion, the staff finally adopted one-to-one supply, and each cargo ship was equipped with four more boats for connection.

On the sea, warships and cargo ships are in pairs. Small boats shuttle back and forth between the two sides, which is busier than the previous shelling. At this time, the fleet is extremely fragile. Fortunately, at this moment, there is no ship on the ocean except the Pacific Fleet. However, even so, Long Guozhang still arranged two The destroyer and the light patrol that took the lead in completing the supply went out for surveillance, just in case.

As for the two extra cargo ships, under the cover of night, they quietly sneaked into the Vladivostok waterway. Mines with anchors were arranged everywhere in the waterway. Because the anchor mines can not move casually, they can set depth and other benefits, they have become the Pacific Army's favorite harbor defense tool. Of course, this It is also because of the best approach due to the conditions of the islands currently controlled by Honolulu.

Two cargo ships carried a total of 1,000 anchor mines. The Russians have been scared and scattered. They can't even get together a smball after losing all the ships, so they can't monitor the mine-laying operations of the Pacific Army at all. What's more, the two light patrols have fired a few shots from time to time, making the Russians think that the Pacific Fleet has not left yet. So no one dares to come to the waterway to explore.

Without knowing any layout information, these anchor mines will become a nightmare for Russia's follow-up fleet!

Of course, in addition to these warships and cargo ships, the happiest thing is the captured several cargo ships. These ships have just returned from North Korea and were originally prepared to transport reinforcements to Lushun. After the Pacific Fleet entered the Gulf, these cargo ships with no means of attack raised the white flag as soon as possible.

In addition, the Russian heavy cruiser Admiral Kornilov, the coastal defense ship Apraksin and the only remaining destroyer have become busy Pacific Fleet sailors who look at each other from time to time.

It's not that the Pacific Fleet has not captured warships. It has captured three main warships of the Japanese joint fleet in the Yellow Sea. However, due to the poor surnames of those warships and high maintenance fees, they were ordered by the young master to return to the furnace. At that time, they were so angry that Long Guozhang asked the Equipment Department to make the ship steel into kitchen knives for sale. As for the Japanese version that was later captured. The small boat has either become a target ship or given to the current Nanyang escort fleet, and none of them has joined the active service.

But the three ships in front of them are different. Except for the coastal defense ship Apraksin, because the Pacific Army does not have such a system at all, and the old man does not know how to deal with it in the end, the heavy cruiser and destroyer can be modified and immediately join the active service.

In particular, this heavy cruiser, with a displacement of more than 8,000 tons, has just come to Vladivostok with the support fleet. It has only been launched for three years. The heavy cruiser Admiral Kornilov, known by the Russians as a second-class battleship, can join the heavy patrol of the fleet with a little modification.

After the sea breeze roared all night, the busy ships finally calmed down. With the return of the mined cargo ship, two light patrols and two destroyers set out first and quietly disappeared into the black at the moment of the rising star. Their mission was to go to the sea of Wonsan Port in North Korea, pretending to attack the Russian army. From The Russian fleet was forced to return to the escort immediately.

With the opening of the day, the main force of the Pacific Fleet, which took more than ten hours to receive supplies, disappeared on the horizon under the red sun.

The battle is far from over--

The Changbai Mountain in June is already luxuriant, and several wild deer in the grass on the roadside are leisurely rummaging through the cyan buds to enjoy this rare fat season.

Suddenly, a rapid hoof sound came, the wild deer raised his head alertly, and then jumped quickly and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Seeing that the wild deer was scared away, he looked at the rich and noble for a long time and put down his gun. He wanted to see that it was the bastard who disturbed his biggest task. He raised his head slightly from the grass and immediately saw dozens of cavalry in Qing military uniforms running here.

What is particularly strange is that these cavalry looked embarrassed. The leader crawled on the horse's back, his thighs seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and the blood was dripping quickly along the horse pedals. The rest of the people were not much better, just like a fleeing defeated soldier.

Fugui wanted to look at it carefully. Suddenly, dozens of Russian cavalry appeared in his eyes. He was so scared that he quickly withdrew his head and crawled to the rest area behind him.

Yongshan rode a horse, his armor was torn apart, his helmet was missing, and his head was embarrassed, but his eyes were all focused on his brother, who crawled on the horse's back next to him, who did not know life and death.

From the Ninggu Tower, he and his brother fled all the way with these remnants. Although they bypassed Changchun, they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived in Dunhua County to rest, the Russian cavalry chased them again. Although most of the Russians later turned to Changchun, they had to embark on the road of escape again.

But it seems that these Russians were annoyed by their small army. Perhaps they were afraid that they would go to inform, and they actually lined up more than a hundred horses to chase them all the way. Although they fought a lot, they were finally forced to a dead corner because of their physical strength.

Yongshan looked at a unconscious brother and turned his head to look at the chasing Russian cavalry. Suddenly, he suddenly gritted his teeth and held the reins. He only heard the hiss of the ** war horse hiss. Unexpectedly, he stood up and turned around and aimed at the Russian cavalry chasing him in the distance.

Seeing Yongshan's movements, the people around him also hurriedly hit the reins and turned the horse's head to surround them.

Seeing Yongshan and others running away stopped and turned back, the Russian cavalry behind them also slowed down one after another. The two groups of people and horses who had just chased and fled were surprisingly confronted in this wasteland.

"I won't run away!"

Looking at the Russian cavalry in the distance, Yongshan threw away the horse whip fiercely, drew a knife and shouted angrily, "It's not a big death. It's enough to kill one, and you will make money by killing two of me!"

"That's right, damn it. I'm also tired of being chased. It's better to do it!"

"Brother Yongshan, you order!"

"Kill these Russian haired people!"

With Yongshan's words, the soldiers around him also cooled off the guns that had no bullets, and slowly pulled out the sabers. Seeing this, the Cossack cavalry in the distance also carried their guns and held knives against each other.

Under Lie, the cold knife was shining, and the horse kept spewing white gas. It seemed that it also felt a touch of solemnity, and the front hoof kept digging the land under its feet.

Looking at the ferocious smile of the Russian soldier, Yongshan suddenly stabbed the horse with the tip of the knife, raised the knife, and shouted, "Kill!" The tingling horse suddenly rushed up like an arrow from the string, and the left and right cavalry also followed. In an moment, the hoofs rumbled and the turf rolled.

The Russian Cossack cavalry in front of them also reacted. Suddenly, the hooves on the wasteland sounded like thunder, shouting to kill the sky.

Yongshan half closed his eyes and stared at the captain of the cavalry in front. Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, the saber in his hand was getting tighter and tighter. At the moment when the two horses were at the cross, he gritted his teeth and waved the saber and cut forward fiercely.

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the duel. Yongshan only felt that the saber in his hand was shaken by something. Looking back, he saw the captain of the cavalry suddenly falling off the horse. He hurriedly looked at the saber in his hand, but there was no drop of blood.

"What's going on?"

Just as Yongshan was about to turn back, more and more gunshots sounded, and the Russian Cossack cavalry waving sabre and shouting strange slogans fell to the ground in the sound of gunfire.

Although the first wave of charging left a few friends missing around them, everyone didn't care to kill them again and stopped one after another. However, no matter how they searched, they could only see the fire flashing in the dwarf tree not far away, but they could not see half of the figure.

"Who is it?" Just as Yongshan and others were looking at each other, the Cossack cavalry finally put down their pride and were ready to draw their guns to shoot. But at this time, a few shadows suddenly flew out of the woods. Before everyone could understand, these black spots suddenly burst in the air, and countless irons and fragments swept through, and they were immediately swept away by seven or eight unexpected Russian cavalry. Under the horse.

"Is this...? Cannonballs?!"

Yongshan and others were even more surprised. What kind of man is this? How dare you go out with a cannon? Is this the nest of horse thieves? When Yongshan and others were thinking nonsense, the Russian cavalry were all in a mess. Horses and soldiers were constantly being hit, especially the black spots thrown again, which scared them to dodge quickly. Seeing that Yongshan and others behind them were also staring behind, they finally had to leave more than 30 war horses and corpses and quickly escape from the war. The field.

From Yongshan's decision to the decisive battle to the defeat of the Russians, it was only a few minutes. Until the remaining Russian cavalry disappeared on the horizon, Yongshan felt as if he had a dream.

"I don't know which good man saved me. Yongshan is very grateful. I don't know if he can show up." Since he couldn't see anyone, Yongshan had to take a few steps forward and ask, and the cavalry who followed Yongshan got off their horses to the short forest one after another.

The lively dwarf forest suddenly fell silent at this moment, as if they had just had a dream in Yongshan just now. Just as a cavalry was about to come forward to have a look, more than 20 strange soldiers in the woods that they had never seen before suddenly emerged.

Speaking of soldiers, it is because they are all carrying guns, and their faces are good at long-term training, but their costumes are too strange. They are in brown, yellow and gray military uniforms, and there is also a big vest full of pockets, with iron pimples like a kettle, a cowhide belt around the waist, and a belt on the belt. There is a circle of bags, and there are several wooden handles in the bag.

Especially the helmets they all wear are no different from the earthen pot. They not only cover their ears, but also cover their foreheads a lot. The most adversive thing is that their helmets are still tied with a circle of leaves and grass.

"It's no wonder they hide in the woods so that people can't see clearly." When Yongshan saw the helmets and clothes of these soldiers, he understood a little. Just as he looked at the other side, the soldiers who walked out of the woods were immediately divided into two groups under the command of a seemingly captain. One group still ran to the direction where the Russians left with guns in the distance, half squatting and guarding with guns, while others immediately collected the trophies and gathered all the Russian war horses. Get up.

Seeing the well-trained appearance of the other party, Yongshan couldn't help but be curious about this army. At this time, the captain also came to them, raised his hand to make a strange gesture, and then introduced himself, "The Fourth Division of the Pacific Army reconnaissance company Ma Wenshan, are you...?"

Yongshan's pupils are enlarged. He is too familiar with the term Pacific Army, but the question is how they appear here! When Yongshan was in a daze, the sergeants around him had already coveted, and several of them had even muttered.

"Pacific Army? Does Daqing have this army?"

"Did you hear it wrong? It's the remnants of the Taiping Army.

"You're a fucking remnants. They just saved us."

"I mean, don't be angry, but they just did a foreign military salute, didn't they? Last time I was in Tianjin, I seemed to have seen a few foreign hair sailors saluting like this.

Seeing the chaos behind him, Yongshan quickly gave a look to stop it, and then arched his hand and said, "Lieutenant of Ninggu Tower, Yongshan."

Ma Wenshan glanced at the Qing army who fled all the way from Ninggu Pagoda, and suddenly walked to the war horse dragging Shoushan in the distance. He ran forward to see and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"When my brother was in Dunhua, I was hit in the thigh by the Russians to cover it." Seeing Ma Wenshan lifting the bandaged steps on Shoushan's legs very carefully, Yongshan quickly asked, "Do you know medical skills?"

"I don't understand." Ma Wenshan shook his head. Seeing that Yongshan's face dimmed again, he laughed and said, "But we happen to have a medical officer."

"Medical officer?"

Before Yongshan understood, he saw Ma Wenshan waving to a soldier with a red cross on his arm in the distance, and the latter immediately ran over: "The gunshot wound is not deep. Can you save it?"

"Yes, just take out the bullet to sew the wound and disinfect it." After looking at the wound a few times, the young man immediately nodded. Although he didn't know what it means to sew the wound, Yongshan still knew how to take the bullet and hurriedly asked his men to help lift his brother down.

In a while, the young man took out the bullet and sewed the wound with something like a needle and thread. In less time, Shoushan, who was unconscious, finally moved his fingers in everyone's expectation. Although he could not open his eyes, it was much better than just now. Yongshan was immediately relieved. Looking at Ma Wenshan, he suddenly knelt to the ground.

"I dare not say thank you for saving my life. If this brother has a place in Yongshan, I will die." Seeing Yongshan kneeling down, Ma Wenshan quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "It's a small matter. You're welcome, Yongshan brothers. I don't know where you're going?"

"Go to Fengtian to turn to the Nie governor's army, and then fight with the Russian Maozi." Yongshan gritted his teeth and kicked the body of the nearest Russian soldier.

"Feng Tian?" Ma Wenshan frowned and immediately said, "It's just right. We're also going to Fengtian. How about going together?"

"Do you also go to Fengtian? Aren't you the Pacific Army stationed in Hawaii and Ryukyu? What are you going to do?"

"It turns out that the Yongshan brothers have also heard of us." In Yongshan's surprise, Ma Wenshan happily took over a Russian war horse led by Fu Gui. After turning over the horse, he smiled and said, "We came to the Qing Dynasty this time to fight the Russian devils!"

"You guys? Fight the Russian devils?

"Yes! Don't forget, we are also the descendants of Yanhuang!"
