At dawn on March 12th of the fifty years of Yongchang, the sun had not risen at this time, and the sky in the east was just exposed. The mist on the Luohe River outside Sanyang Town had not completely dispersed.
On the two small wharfs in Sanyang Town, no matter the oil ship carrier waiting for kerosene and oil, or a lot of sails or steam vessels parked in the port pier in the port area of hundreds of meters outside Sanyang Town, all of which. The quiet mooring on the dock.
The port area is quiet, and the workers in the dock have not worked yet. Even the town urban area is quiet. Except for a few vendors who get up early to open the door to do business and get out early. Quietly.
Even some of the soldiers of the sixth division stationed in the shore anti -turrets were still in their sleep. Only a few sentinels were holding their spirits. Occasionally, they looked at the river that was still gray.
However, at this time, a duty sergeant on the shore anti -turret on the tower, habitually glanced at the river surface, and then bowed his head to prepare to sleep.
But just a few seconds later, I saw that the sergeant seemed to think of something, and then glanced towards the river.
Immediately, he picked up the single -tube telescope and scanned the gray river surface.
At this time, on the gray river surface in the telescope, several huge figures appeared.
What's more, although these huge figures are very vague, through the high -multipliance's special telescope, he still sees these gray figures different from ordinary merchant ships.
Different!
Even, he saw the front of the figure, with obvious huge gun tube!
In the sixth division, a few sergeants who have experienced the experience of naval service, he dares to swear to the sky, this fucking is an iron armor!
What's more, at least three iron armored ships are driving straight towards the small port of Sanyang Town, it is not like passing by.
At this moment, he shouted quickly: "The enemy attacks!"
He shouted, instantly made his companions who were still sleeping together to wake up.
After the confused soldiers were awakened, they hadn't responded yet, so they heard the sergeant on the side shouting: "Fast blow, the enemy attack!"
Although it has not completely reacted, the soldier still instinctively picked up the copper, and then blown it up!
Instantly, the sharp copper sound sounded in the entire shore anti -turret!
After the number of consecutive blows, the soldiers of the sentry of several other positions also blown up the signs.
This soldier was looking at the river. At this time, the river surface was still gray, but it was still possible to see a few large figures vaguely drove straight from the port of Sanyang Town from the lower reaches.
This is a completely abnormal route.
Luohe is a busy waterway. In the past half a year, even though Luo An's situation is tense, there is no continued fighting between the five major Fortune town. Since there is no war, everyone will eat and do business.
Therefore, there are a lot of ships passing every day on the Luohe Channel outside Sanyang Town, most of which are naturally various civilian vessels.
Occasionally, there will be other iron armored ships in other town, but when the iron armored ships in other towns pass by, in order to avoid misunderstandings, they usually choose to pass through during the day.
At the same time, only the main channel will be taken, the artillery's cannon clothes are also covered, and the banner will be used to indicate the identity.
Luohe passed.
However, the iron armored ships in other towns have never been passed in dawn, and they are not the main channel, not directly on the north, but with a certain angle.
Their routes came straight to the port!
This is abnormal!
The scholar's on -duty soldiers sounded the horn for the first time, and almost instantly became lively.
The soldiers were awakened in their sleep, and then hurriedly walked towards the cannon.
The gunmen who were originally near the cannon were already reaching the artillery one by one. The ammunition player began to carry ammunition, and the gunners directly took out the telescope to observe the river surface.
At the same time, a scholar artillery officer on duty shouted at the artillery soldiers under his Majesty: "Quickly, prepare ammunition!"
"Calculate the Yuan Dynasty immediately!"
At this time, a chief of artillery on the side said: "Lian Zheng, is it ready to fired? Now they are about 3,000 meters away from us. Although the distance is farther, they can also fight!"
The chief of the scholar said directly: "Waiting for the order!"
He didn't know if he wanted to fire it!
Because he could not determine the specific identity of the other party at all, and he could not determine their goals.
Now that Luo An's situation is so nervous, if he rashly ordered the firing, the ghost knows what kind of change will cause.
Behind this decision is what his little artillery company commander cannot bear.
At the same time, Zhou Hefu, the first battalion commander of the heavy artillery group, hurriedly walked out while holding the buttons of the shirt, and at the same time, he said: "Do you confirm that the other person's identity is there?"
One of the officers on duty with dark circles on the side said: "We can't determine the identity of the other party for the time being. We have given the other party a flag, but the other party did not respond!"
"The distance is relatively long, and there is a fog. The other party should not see the flag words we play. The humble duty has ordered the direct lighting signal, but it has not responded for the time being!"
Zhou Hefu said: "Did you send someone to notify the Command?"
Military officer on duty: "The Ministry of Vocational Department has sent someone to the Pompee Express Command for the first time."
Zhou Hefu continued to go out. Soon he went to the top of the turret and leaned directly on the medium -sized single -tube telescope for a ship.
As the emergency report said, there are three iron armored ships in the lower reaches, and the inspection is not small. The leader is estimated to have more than 500 tons, and the other two are also 300 to 400 tons.
Seeing this, he murmured: "Who is this iron armored ship running, what do they want to do?"
There are not many iron armored ships of large tonnage in the Luohe Basin in Luo'an County.
According to he, in the Luohe Basin, the strongest strength of the iron armored fleet is naturally the Luohai County Navy. There are several iron armored ships with thousands of tons of tons. Hundreds of tons are a lot of.
Then it is Li Dingjun in the south. He has been stationed in the south for a long time and led the troops to resist the Luo Navy. He once commanded most of the iron armored ships of the two armies of Luo Guang.
Iron armored ship, the largest iron armored ship is also thousands of tons.
Come again is the concise post. He took over the power of the direct fleet of the Junshou Mansion. At the same time, he accepted the iron armor ship under the hand and the iron armored ship under the hands of Feng Haozhong.
The tonnage is generally small.
There is also Li Kun. When he went south, he also brought an iron armored fleet, but the number was not large.
As for Lin Ziran, there are also iron armored ships, but strictly speaking, it is not a real iron armored ship, but the ordinary steam ship is modified!
Because Lin Ziran had no channels to get these iron armored ships, that is, in the second half of last year, three ships were modified with civil cargo ships. The tonnage was relatively small, only one or two hundred tons, and the modification was very simple.
The board is just a artillery. The combat effectiveness is not good. It can only be said that chatting is better than nothing.
Well, in fact, most of the so -called iron armored ships in other Fan towns are actually modified. There are not many pure iron armored ships.
However, the three ships in front of them can be very sure that this is definitely a professional iron armor. It is not a modified look.
After looking at it simply, Zhou Hefu said: "Continue to give them glowing signals and flag words, warn them, let them stop moving forward, and at the same time show their identities and intentions, otherwise we will fire!"
After Zhou Hefu finished speaking, there were soldiers on the side to continue sending light signals with kerosene lamps, and some soldiers continued to send flag!
However, I do n’t know if the other party is really invisible, or I do n’t care about it. In short, the other party does not have any response, and I continue to drive towards the dock in Sanyang Town.
Seeing that the time is gradually passing, the other party will enter a distance of two kilometers for a long time.
At this time, Zhou Hefu took a deep breath: "Emergency notification of the Command, the iron armored ship with unknown identity was coming to the surface and the intention, and the headquarters was about to warn the unknown fleet!"
After that, he said to the officer on the side of the side: "Ordering the No. 1 artillery to enter the unknown fleet to warn!"
Having said, he added more sentences: "Pay attention, don't really fight!"
The other party's identity is unknown, the coming to the same is unknown, and it is really troublesome, sometimes it causes trouble, so he still plans to warn the other party first.
I can let the other party know who the other party is and what goals are, and the other party knows that Sanyang Town does not want to come.
Without their permission of their sixth division, no ships must not be approached.
With the order of Zhou Hefu, soon, a 150 millimeter cannon (eighteen catties farm cannon) on the No. 1 artillery was fired.
When this heavy artillery was fired, the momentum was very large. The huge solid artillery shells drawn a curve in the air. After flying over two kilometers, it fell in front of this small fleet, and it stirred a high high.
The water column!
This time the shelling, and any flag language and light signal are more useful. I saw that the other party began to turn and drove towards the center of the river. At the same time, a signal was also made.
At the same time, this time the shelling, the huge sound made is more useful than any wake -up.
The sound of Longlong has spread to almost the entire Sanyang Town and even farther in the barracks area.
Even Lin Ziran himself was awakened by a huge sound of artillery!
