From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 807

"Still chasing! They are so angry!"

Xie Shidun had already arrived at the Fuzhou dock, but saw four battleships coming quickly from behind, and they were obviously ready to bombard the dock.

Only a fool would do this, and Xie Shidun shouted without hesitation: "Brother Ouyang, we have to go!"

Ouyang Gong said: "What should we do here?"

"I don't care about that!"

Xie Shidun said: "Even if we stay, we can't stop the fierce attack of four battleships. Let the brothers of the navy retreat and stay away from the dock."

"These wooden boats, they can blow them up if they want, and it doesn't matter if they are destroyed. Anyway, they have been eliminated."

Ouyang Gong is a native of Fujian. At this moment, he has to face the situation of so many wooden boats being destroyed, and he can't accept it for a while.

"What a good ship! But they are going to be destroyed by them!"

He stamped his feet on the deck anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

"They're here! We can't wait any longer!"

Xie Shidun shouted, "Retreat! Quick! The navy will leave the shore immediately, and leave the ship to them. It's important to save our lives."

"Brother Ouyang, let's move southeast, put pressure on them, and force them to return to defend."

The Zili ship was the first to set sail, and the sailors exerted their strength and slowly started.

Ouyang Gong sighed, and finally had to order a retreat.

The two cruisers quickly sailed away, and the Fujian and Guangdong navy also quickly fled the cabin, went to the dock, and ran to the inner shore to avoid the artillery fire.

The loud noise spread all over the world.

Four battleships, each with 80 guns, even if one side fired at the same time, the power was enough to shake the world.

Dense shells bombarded dozens of warships, and the terrible scene made people's scalps numb.

The fire also started, the dock turned into a sea of ​​fire, and even the earth was baptized.

The people of Fuzhou Prefecture were far away, but they also saw the situation here from afar.

They stood there stupidly, pale and numb, muttering - the foreigners are too powerful, we will never win.

These people along the coast have long suffered enough from the foreigners. They thought that they could fight with the foreigners with ships, but they didn't expect that they would come to the dock again and blow up and burn your ship.

They were desperate, and there was only endless fear in their hearts.

But the soldiers of the Guangdong Navy had a completely different mood.

They watched dozens of ships being blown up, and they were stunned for a while, standing there blankly, looking at the flames in front of them, their noses sour.

They are the navy, and the ship is their knife, their sword, their armor and weapons.

They were excited and planned to avenge the defeat two years ago.

They have been waiting for this day for a long time.

But they can only abandon their own ship and watch everything being destroyed by the other side.

"I... I'll fucking fight them!"

A young man rushed forward, but was pulled back.

"Let us go! Even if there is only one ship left! Even if we die! Let us fight once!"

There were new recruits roaring, and there were veterans shouting and yelling, watching their ships burn, who could understand this feeling?

Ouyang Gong understood, he stood on the deck of the Confidence warship, saw it all, and couldn't stop crying for a while.

"Foreign devils! I'm not done with you! A bunch of beasts! What a good ship... What a good ship..."

He clenched his fists, really wanting to turn around immediately and fight to the death with the other side.

The flames were still burning.

The light illuminated the faces of the navy soldiers on the shore.

There was only grief and anger on their faces.

They were like children who had lost their mothers, standing there alone, watching their mother ship turn into ashes bit by bit.

The pain of defeat? The rage of impotence? Or is it the ultimate silence of despair? The mixed feelings cannot be described in words.

"Hey, these soldiers are just standing there stupidly!"

"Aren't they very powerful at ordinary times? Why don't they dare to fight the foreigners!"

"You can bully us ordinary people, but now you are all fucking cowards."

"You think you can beat the foreigners? Their three or four ships can scare you into retreating!"

Some people have already started to curse in the back, some are weird, some are jumping and cursing, pointing at their noses and cursing.

Some recruits couldn't listen anymore, picked up a knife and rushed towards the people, shouting: "What are you talking about! Is this our fault? This is... Snap!"

A crisp sound came, and the navy slapped the recruits in the face.

The recruits looked up and saw a dark, wrinkled face.

The naval commander said in a deep voice: "Put away your anger and use it against the foreign devils in the future."

"At any time"When you are in a war, you can't point your knife at your compatriots!"

The new soldier said aggrievedly: "But they..."

"They are right!"

The navy general said word by word: "We must admit every word and every sentence."

"We are soldiers. We have suffered defeat and losses. Are we afraid of what the people say? Dare to do it, but don't you dare to take responsibility?"

"Go back!"

The new soldier lowered his head and returned to the team carefully.

The navy general strode over, and many soldiers saluted and greeted.

He ignored it, but looked at the blazing fire on the dock.

He had a blank expression on his face, but just shouted: "Don't leave! Watch here! Listen here!"

"See how our ship is gone, and listen to how our people curse."

"I want you to feel this shame and anger deeply. I want you to burn all your anger, burn this ocean through, and boil the sea water! "

"Until then, it will be time for us to regain our dignity."

...

The huge fleet continued to move forward. Although they were a little panicked, many crew members felt more at ease when they saw the Hengyong and Hengpan ships escorting in front of the left.

But their steadiness did not mean that Fu Bo and others were at ease.

Because McPherson's two battleships and cruisers had been following them on the side, not firing or attacking, but they could not get rid of them.

"They seem to have become our escort ships."

Fu Bo sneered and put away the monocular telescope in his hand.

Yi Sanshi whispered: "Captain, what does the other party mean by this? If they don't stop us, why do they keep following us?"

Fu Bo said: "I don't know, we just need to act according to the prince's orders, signal them to get out, and if they don't get out, we won't do anything, just keep wasting time."

"Of course, I hope they will take action, because I can't help wanting to beat them. "

Yuan Zhiming said: "Beat them if you want! They only have three ships, they can't do anything to us."

Fu Bo looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Boy, if you want to do something and achieve something in the future, you must remember one sentence."

"Obeying orders is the duty of a soldier."

"The marshal said that if the other party does not open fire, we should confront them. This is a very clear order."

"Because of the anger in my heart, I have to open fire in a moment of anger, violate military orders, and cause immeasurable consequences. Who can bear this responsibility?"

Yuan Zhiming blushed, but still bowed and said: "Thank you for the captain's teachings, I know I was wrong."

If you can listen to what he says, you are a good seedling.

Fu Bo nodded and smiled: "Sooner or later, our anger will burn on this ocean, and... in these few days."
