Chapter 578 Ge Yunfei's Counterattack

Next stop.

The next stop is Dinghai.

"Isn't the Guangdong front a great victory? How did the bandit get here?"

General Ge Yunfei, Dinghai, roared like crazy.

At his feet was the Shenjiamen fortress. On the waterway of Shenjiamen in front of him, the three ships of Dingzhenwei were lined up and slowly sailed. Six large chimneys kept gushing with thick smoke as if driving the demonic wind. All the gun doors on the side were opened, and black muzzles were extended. Even through the Qianli Mile Mile, you can see Yang wearing golden armor on the deck of the Weiyuan in front, wearing a red cloak with his hands behind his back...

Yang Demon Man.

"It seems that the victory is fake!"

The guerrilla Luo Jiangong beside him lamented.

"Report, Master of the Town, Zhu Junmen Order, this month, bandits were sent to capture Fuzhou, and the coastal towns should be strictly guarded to prevent them from disturbing them!"

An officer behind him saluted.

Ge Yunfei took the official document from his hand, looked at it expressionlessly, then raised his head to look at the three warships that were gushing flames on the sea. Amid the sharp whistling sound of the shells slashing through the air, he couldn't help but sigh.

"A treacherous minister will ruin the country!"

Amid his sigh, the first shell exploded less than ten meters above the Shenjiamen Fort. The brilliant fireworks of the copycat aluminum thermal bomb made all the Qing soldiers open their mouths wide. Then the spark poured down like a rain of rain with the fragments of shells. On a cannon under the fireworks, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were immediately shrouded in the fire. Just as they screamed and ran away in scattered, a gunpowder barrel burst out of fire. Ge Yunfei almost instinctively threw himself to the ground. Just as he fell down, a loud sound of the sky and the earth cracked behind him. In the impact of the air waves, the officer who reported the news immediately flew backwards, and then a flying cannon fell from the sky and hit the unlucky guy, just like a smashed watermelon and flesh splashed in the spreading smoke.

Ge Yunfei's world is silent.

I don't know how long it took to wake up from the shock of the explosion, and then he shook his head hard and got up with some difficulty.

"Retreat, withdraw to Dinghai!"

He shouted without hesitation at the mess before him.

"It's pretty straightforward to run."

Zeng Tao smiled at the Qing army who fled in a hurry on the deck of the Weiyuan.

"Who is this Dinghai Guard?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Ge Yunfei, the general of Dinghai Town."

Zeng Tao quickly answered.

"He? He should not be the escapee. Keep moving forward and prepare to fight him in Dinghai!"

Yang Feng said calmly.

Indeed, Ge Yunfei did not escape. It was meaningless for him to guard the Shen family. There were only eight artillery positions on this fort, so it was impossible to fight against dozens of cannons on three battleships of the Ming army. The result of defending the Shen family was to death. However, Dinghai was different. Qingleitou, Wukui Mountain, Dongyue Mountain, Xiaofengling one by one, plus Dinghai City, forming a complete defense system, relying on each other and supporting each other, which is much better than the one alone Shen family fort.

Soon Yang Feng's fleet would need to face this fortress-level defense system.

"Your Majesty, have you moved?"

Zeng Tao said carefully.

As he spoke, a shell was hitting the deck. Although it was already at the limit of the range and the shell had no power, the dozens of kilograms of iron balls that fell from the sky still made the deck splash. An unlucky soldier was immediately hit by the broken wood and bleeding from his shoulder.

"unnecessary!"

Yang Feng said and waved to him.

The soldier quickly came over and bowed his head to salute. Yang Feng reached out and pulled out the broken wood, then pressed his hand to his bleeding wound. In a blink of an eye, the wound completely disappeared. Then Yang Feng raised his hand, and the blood stained on the hand turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared.

"Go!"

He waved his hand and said.

At this moment, the sea breeze blows his cloak, and the sun shines on his golden armor, as if he is in a layer of golden light.

The soldier was excitedly lying on the deck and kowtowed, then got up and returned to his post.

Zeng Tao also retreated immediately.

The soldiers on both sides of the seven and a half pound rifled cannons on the deck, who were operating the cannons to keep firing, were extremely calm at the howling of the shells. Under the light of the gods, they kept completing mechanical procedures and shooting the shells at the Qingleitou Fort in the distance. Due to the problems of channel constraints and firing boundaries, coupled with the attack of the Wukuishan Fort on the other side, the three ships of Dingzhenwei must fight against the Qing army within the range of the Qingleitou Fort, so it is inevitable to get shells. Of course, it is useless for the Qing army's shells to hit these warships, because the artillery shells with the limit of the range cannot penetrate the thick teak, and at most it will cause sporadic losses to the soldiers on the deck.

Unless they can hit a cannon like a heaven-defying.

But it is obvious that this is unlikely. Speaking of which, those Qing troops could still insist on firing at the Ming army during the explosion of a copycat aluminum thermal bomb, Ge Yunfei had the best management skills.

In fact, the Qing army's resistance was still futile.

The artillery battle lasted less than ten minutes. With the spectacular mushroom clouds of powder barrels exploded on the Qingleitou Fort, the gate of Dinghai was officially opened. However, the Ming army immediately had to face three forts, including Wukui Mountain, Dongyue Mountain and Nandao Tou, especially the Guanshan Fort on the Dongyue Mountain, the symbol of Dinghai. This is the main fort of Dinghai, and behind it is Dinghai City. At this moment, Ge Yunfei, just like when he died in this fort in history, looked at the burning fire on the Qingleitou Fort with a resolute face, and the cannons that suddenly stopped shooting on the Wukui Mountain Fort, and then constantly urged his subordinates to open fire. Although most of the shells they shot could not reach the Ming army's warships at all, they still had to fight because the Ming army's shells were constantly exploding above and beside their heads.

"Open the fire, behind us is Dinghai!"

Ge Yunfei waved his waist and roared.

Amid the explosion and the fire, the Qing soldiers were busy in chaos, and people kept screaming and falling down, but in the end they still did not flee.

This is already worthy of respect.

After all, this is the first time that the Qing army has resisted so stubbornly, but it is just the Guanshan Fortress. Because the Wukui Mountain Fortress on the other side has actually stopped shooting, the Qing army is chaoticly boarding a small boat and fleeing to the island next to it, which shows that they dare not fight with the Ming army. As for the other forts, there is little gunfire. It is obvious that the vast majority of soldiers have also escaped, and only some are still resisting. The only one who is still fighting is the Guanshan Fortress where Ge Yunfei is. He led his personal soldiers to act as a supervision team to block the soldiers who attempt to escape, and to use his usual power to urge them to fight.

This is also the hope of all the gentry in Dinghai City. While the Guanshan Fortress launched a fierce battle with the Ming army, the gentry headed by the county magistrate came with his family slaves and yamen run away regardless of the danger.

Anyway, they worked together.

Unlike other places, the people in Dinghai City are in a stable mood, which is obviously...

"It's obvious that the fruit is not ripe yet!"

On the deck of the Weiyuan, Yang Feng, who was standing with his hands behind his back, looked at Guanshan Fortress, who was fighting to the death.

A distance of three thousand miles.

It is obvious that this place has exceeded his influence, and it is nothing strange. Even if it is a hundred years later, with relatively developed information dissemination methods such as newspapers and even radio stations, it is difficult for those bases to know about the changes they have taken in a year. What's more, in this era, even the official information transmission speed may not be able to be achieved, and those gentry who have the right to speak will definitely block or even discredit his policies. Then it is no wonder that the people of Dinghai are numb to his arrival.

He still needs time.

While he was speaking, his right hand suddenly raised upwards, and a shell was hitting the alloy steel shield on the arm. With a metal impact, the large iron ball that had exhausted power bounced and fell directly on the sea. Then he turned straight to Zeng Tao in the command tower and said, "Retreat, leave Dinghai and go to the next stop."

"Uh, your majesty, it will be almost done in another half an hour."

Zeng Tao quickly came out and said.

"Forget it, we didn't originally come to log in, so let's just fulfill this Ge Yunfei!"

Yang Feng said.

He wasn't here to log in.

He didn't even bring the army, and there were only one hundred and fifty marines on three battleships. If the people of Dinghai rose up to greet him, he certainly wouldn't mind igniting another fire in eastern Zhejiang, but now that this situation has not happened, he wouldn't have so much time to land in and seize Dinghai and then carry out publicity.

It will take at least a few months to build a base from scratch.

He doesn't have that much time.

Zeng Tao looked at the already messy Guanshan Fort with regret, and then issued a retreat order to the two ships behind. The three battleships did not turn, but went forward directly, and drove past Wukui Mountain with incredible eyes on Ge Yunfei and Guanshan Fortress, and then quickly left Dinghai and drove towards Zhenhai with their cheers.

However, Yang Feng did not attack Zhenhai.

He only sank four Qing warships that were not enough to run at the mouth of the Yongjiang River, and then continued to go north along the coast with the chaos of Ningbo gentry. Just as the news of the Dinghai victory was sent to Beijing, he once again showed his might in Zhapu to destroy the Tianfei Palace fortress, and turned to Haiyan. He sank more than a dozen Qing warships in countless fearful gazes on the shore. His travels caused panic in all parts of eastern Zhejiang. Even the Eight Banners of Hangzhou, who were originally preparing to go south to reinforce, quickly returned to prevent the recurrence of Fuzhou's tragedy. As for the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, they even spent money to repair the forts and cast cannons to form a regiment to practice coastal defense, which made the turrets on both sides of Hangzhou Bay. Although these forts did not play a role in resisting Yang Feng, they created countless obstacles for the British army.

Of course, this is a future.

Just when Daoguang in Beijing was furious that the news that the bandits Beijian captured Fuzhou was furious, and he issued an order to angrily scold Yishan, forcing him to launch a full-scale attack on Guangzhou immediately. Otherwise, he would be allowed to go to prison to be his companion with Qishan. Amid the scammers of Jiangsu officials and gentry, Yang Feng's fleet traveled all the way to Chongming, and then turned to the estuary of the Yangtze River to start disturbing the two rivers.

And his goal is...

Jiangyin.
