Facing the aggressive Senior Brother Wu, Admiral Ding could not withstand the pressure and inner fear, so he opened the door and directly gave him 3,000 stock muskets and corresponding bullets.
Being able to give so much is already the limit of what he can give.
Wu Dong was not disappointed at all, and was even a little happy.
Damn it, the firearms stored in the naval base warehouse are naturally the latest goodies.
Not to mention quick grabs, they are all magazine type, the kind that can load multiple bullets at one time.
There were actually early Gatling Bodhisattvas, although there were not many of them, and only two doors were given to him. Wu Dong was already happy enough.
The firearms he has on hand have never been so abundant.
Together with the firearms that have been obtained one after another, it can equip nearly 5,000 troops.
With the elite level of official boxers, every one of them is a master of individual combat.
With just a little training, they are all qualified ranger warriors.
That's right, Wu Dong never thought that if he had a head-on confrontation with the Xiaori Army, wouldn't he use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points?
Not to mention that he did not have qualified senior commanders in the modern army, it is hard to say whether there were any in the Qing army.
He has no responsibility to defend the territory. He only needs to use part of the strength of his official boxers, which is enough to give the army a good drink in his small life.
Thinking about it, hundreds of guerrillas with horses for mobility are watching eagerly from the side. I asked Xiaozhi whether the army is afraid?
In terms of combat effectiveness, almost all formal boxers who have practiced martial arts for more than three years, once they develop the strength of guerrilla warfare, tsk tsk...
As for the remaining inventory in Weihaiwei Navy Camp, Wu Dong had no intention of letting it go.
However, we have to wait until the army cooperates.
On the other hand, across the sea in Lushun, there were many retreating Qing troops, and there were abandoned ordnance everywhere that could be picked up, so there was no need for support from Jiaoao.
Big Sword King Wu has been in high spirits recently.
Since he led a group of Kansai swordsman brothers and succeeded in successive raids while the small army was not paying attention, a group of troops quickly gathered around him.
In the past, he only dared to sneak attack Xiaori troops with less than a hundred people. Now with the increase in manpower, he even dared to provoke Xiaori troops with less than 300 people.
But the outcome of the battle was not as good as expected.
The main thing is that the Qing troops who joined naturally used the tactics they were accustomed to, and the others were very enthusiastic about fighting, but their own abilities were not satisfactory.
If they were not all traveling on horseback, they were extremely mobile and could move immediately if something went wrong to avoid the risk of being surrounded, I am afraid they would have suffered some hardships.
After several sneak attacks and ambushes, the results were mediocre. Wang Wu's originally high morale slowly dissipated, and he realized that something must be wrong.
But he didn't know what the problem was.
It wasn't until he was about to take a break and take someone to the nearest farm but was rejected, that he suddenly realized what was going on.
It turned out that the official boxers, who were the main fighting force, were slowly being marginalized without realizing it.
Wang Wu was also deliberately guided by some people and had not noticed this before.
As a result, when they raided and ambush the small-time troops, without the help of the sharp marksmanship and various bizarre methods of the official boxers, their combat effectiveness plummeted.
Wang Wu did not expect this. The official boxer who followed him told him that Senior Brother Wu had expected it and had prepared a way to deal with it.
If you are marginalized, don't be too conspicuous, focus on preserving your vitality, and don't be blindly impulsive.
As for those so-called companions with complex composition, don't bring them to the farm easily and just set up a temporary camp outside.
Wang Wu was not a fool and quickly realized what was going on.
The previous high-spiritedness on his face was gone, and instead there was only helplessness and depression. Apparently Senior Brother Wu did not think that they could achieve much results by relying on the roaming tactics, at least it would not affect the general outcome of the battle between Qing and Japan.
Since it was arranged by Senior Brother Wu, Wang Wu naturally followed suit and also changed his subsequent battle strategies and personnel arrangements.
The effect is immediate...
With official boxers as the backbone of the battle, the battle of sneak attacks and ambushes of small groups suddenly became easier.
In this era, cavalry charge was still a very powerful way of fighting.
As long as the formation of Xiaori's army is disrupted and the cavalry group follows closely, it will basically be a one-sided massacre.
The fighting style of the formal boxers was much better than that of the defeated Qing army, which still had little military literacy and relied entirely on the passionate villagers.
But after this, several more battles were won, and more than a thousand and two of the Xiaozhi Army were completely wiped out. Wang Wu's bravery naturally became dazzling again.
Recruitment from various departments of the Qing army and the addition of more and more defeated Qing soldiers caused chaos within the volunteers.
Even, due to the competition for dominance, one or two small groups of Rangers who went out suffered huge casualties.
Among them, there were many Kansai swordsmen invited by Wang Wu.
This made Wang Wu's mood drop to rock bottom.
What made him even more devastated was that during the small days when he and his volunteer rangers were desperately encircling and killing the lone soldiers in the periphery, the Qing army that faced the enemy head-on was routed thousands of miles away.
No matter whether there is a town to defend it or not, it is like suffering from defeat syndrome, and it will collapse directly after resisting twice.
This situation was not only the Qing army that retreated from Goryeo and the national border, but also the Qing army that stayed at the Lushun Naval Base.
It fell just one day later than normal history.
When the news came out, Wang Wu's face suddenly turned pale, and any trace of pride in his heart disappeared in an instant.
Pig teammates, even worse than pig teammates!
When he heard that when he was young, he had not sealed the sword in Lushun, and countless people in the city suffered, he was so angry that his eyes were splitting.
The charlatan's anger surged, and he decided to do whatever he could to save his life.
However, after being dissuaded by a letter from Jiaoao and his companions, I gave up my carelessness.
However, after this blow, he lost interest in staying outside the customs and continuing to have sex with him.
After Wu Dong learned about it, he wrote another letter to comfort him, and ordered Zhuangzi outside the pass to send someone to escort Wang Wu back to the capital.
Without Wang Wu as the backbone, most of the Kansai swordsmen left with the exception of a few.
If there hadn't been any bad internal fights for power, they would probably be willing to stay for a while longer.
However, the group of defeated Qing soldiers who joined the team were really no fun, and they lost their morale, and they were not in the mood to stay at all.
At this time, the official boxers in the six villages around Lushun suddenly broke out to eliminate the evil in the team, and then used thunderous means to integrate the remaining troops.
They were forcibly collected according to the boxer model, and then there was a series of sneak attacks and ambushes against the people in the small days.
The small-time army, which originally thought it would be a complete success in capturing the brigade, suddenly fell into the whirlpool of roving warfare and could not extricate itself.
The Rangers, organized as the backbone of official boxers, are not generally powerful in combat.
They can be found everywhere in the vast Liaodong region, maximizing the mobility of the Rangers.
The individual combat power of the soldiers was quite strong, and they also had some home-made but very effective tools and means in their hands, which gave the army, which had just occupied Liaodong and had no time to digest, a splitting headache but was helpless.
All of this was naturally planned by Wu Dong who was in Jiao'ao.
Although he knew that the Qing army was a waste, he did not expect that the waste would reach such an extent.
Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the young boxer he had arranged to serve as a navy sailor worked wonders.
Before the army could reach the outskirts and the navy had no time to blockade it, they forcibly drove away all the remaining warships parked in the Lushun base.
The large warship naturally sailed directly to the Weihai Guard Port opposite.
As for small warships such as gunboats and torpedo boats, they disappeared directly into the vast sea and no one knows where they went.
During this period, Wu Dong still worked hard and constantly encouraged Admiral Ding, the boss of the Weihaiwei Naval Base, to order the remaining warships at the Weihaiwei Base to respond when the naval ships of the Lushun Base ran away.
This guy refused to agree at first, thinking that doing so was against the orders of the court, especially Li Zhongtang.
Wu Dong couldn't control so much. He directly threatened Admiral Ding that if he didn't cooperate, then don't blame him for being rude.
Admiral Ding was at a loss at this time, mainly because Xiaotian's advance was too fast and he saw that the Lushun military port could not be saved.
As the admiral of the Beiyang Navy, he had to carry such a big pot.
At this very moment, I was distracted. Naturally, I panicked after being threatened by Wu Dong, so I had no choice but to take a gamble.
As a result, all the large warships from the Lushun base were actually picked up and arrived safely at the Weihai Guard Port.
At this time, Admiral Ding smiled happily and relaxed. As for those small warships and gunboats, he didn't care at all.
Even if you notice something is wrong, you can only turn a blind eye now. Otherwise, what else can you do to break up with Wu Dong?
The better Da Dao Wang Wu performed in Liaodong, the less he dared to offend Wu Dong easily, let alone fall out directly.
If you really want to say it, the most brilliant thing about the entire Liaodong battle, the battle and the number of troops that wiped out the most enemies, was really the bravery of the Big Sword King Wu.
As far as he knew, many Qing generals who had been beaten to disgrace in the battlefields of Goryeo and Liaodong planned to rely on the heroic achievements of Wang Wu's men to pass the test.
At this time, it was the time to unite and protect the title of official. Even with Admiral Ding's core position in the Beiyang system, he did not dare to intervene rashly.
Besides, seeing that Xiao Tian's arrogance is getting more and more arrogant, if he really wants to target Weihai Weijun Port, he will have to count on the help of Senior Brother Wu and his boxers.
Speaking of which, I was so depressed that I went to my grandma's house.
The dignified Admiral of the Beiyang Navy, the core boss of the Beiyang family, has fallen to such a low level. It can only be said that the world is changing so fast that he is at a loss what to do...
