Nong Xiaowu and several of his men were in a hurry. As they ran all the way, six horses fell to the ground one after another. In the end, only Nong Xiaowu and Liu Jingsan were able to return to Le Havre. The other four were all tired from the horses. Falling to the ground and falling behind.
Le Havre is the second largest city after Rouen in the Normandy region of northern France. It is located at the mouth of the Seine River and is on the edge of the English Channel. It has always been known as the 'Outer Port of Paris';
From Le Havre, you can take a boat along the Seine, the mother river of France, to the capital Paris.
The four scissor warships of the Great Qin Mission were anchored in the port of Le Havre. When Nong Xiaowu and Liu Jingsan rushed back to the port, the city of Le Havre had not received the news that the conflict between the two sides had broken out. The entire city Still very calm.
The four white scissor-type warships are like four graceful beauties, moored leisurely in the harbor. Three hundred Qin soldiers stayed on the battleship. Some went ashore in twos and threes to play, and some were basking in the sun on the deck. French vendors drove their boats to the battleship to sell food and small commodities. The two sides did not understand the language. You gestured and I gestured. , very lively...
Nong Xiaowu and Liu Jingsan rushed directly to the pier, and their horses fell to the ground from exhaustion. They used their hands and feet to rush up the gangway, which surprised the Qin soldiers on the ship. They came to help them one after another and helped them into the naval guerrilla Pang Ning. In the cabin...
"What? There's a war, are you telling the truth?"
"General..."
"Come here, find Li Qianshi and Deputy General Yun, quickly!"
"Here!"
Pang Ning made several sharp turns in the cabin. He had already sent people ashore to notify the soldiers who were playing in the city to return quickly, but this would take a while, and the situation could change at any time. But he couldn't alert him first, as he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Official Li Ji and deputy general Yunteng rushed over quickly. They were a little surprised and at a loss after hearing the news brought back by Nong Xiaowu and Liu Jingsan.
At this time, Pang Ning suddenly said: "Now that the matter is over, the only way is to take a preemptive strike. Let's take down the city of Le Havre first."
Li Ji, the official, said quickly: "General Pang, we only have 300 people. There are at least 4,000 French troops stationed in Le Havre, and there are only 50,000 or 60,000 civilians in the city. We only have these few people to capture Le Havre." , I'm afraid it won't be easy. If we don't wait until night and break the city in one fell swoop, then there will be cover of night, and the French will not know the truth and it will easily cause panic..."
"No!" Pang Ning immediately denied: "It's almost night, and boats are coming and going on the Seine. There may be ships from Paris bringing news at any time. So we can't wait any longer, and we can only take advantage of the opportunity in Le Havre. We don’t have a chance to make a move until we receive the news.”
Nong Xiaowu was still panting and said hurriedly: "General Pang. Deputy Commander Fang asked me to send a message to General Pang, suggesting that General Pang immediately send people to contact the United Kingdom and Portugal, and if possible, ask the two countries to send troops for reinforcements. That's the only way. We will not be too passive in the future..."
After hearing this, Yunteng praised: "Yes, now that things have happened, all the connections that can be used should be used. Damn it, at worst, we will have a big fight in Europe."
Li Ji hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Portugal has signed a military alliance with our country, Great Qin. Under pressure, they may send troops to help us, but they probably won't try their best. After all, France is right next to them, and they are worried about France's future retaliation." It is inevitable.
As for Britain, Ambassador Zhang did not agree to their request for a military alliance. Now it is almost impossible for them to send troops to support..."
Pang Ning said: "You have to try. Cromwell was a Puritan and believed in Protestantism. It is not the same as the old Catholicism that France now believes in. It is not that there was a thirty-year war between the old and new sects in the past few years.
If I were Cromwell and I really wanted to form a military alliance with the Qin Dynasty, I would definitely pull Portugal to send troops together, even if it was just a pretense to make the Qin Dynasty owe a favor.
This matter... Damn, it's really a bit messy. No matter what, as long as Willenwell sends troops, we will find ways to drag Britain into this pit. "
Yunteng said anxiously: "Let's do this. The general will raise the sails and anchor. He will first take control of the French warships in the harbor, and then humbly lead his men ashore to raid the city of Le Havre. We will split up and wait until we have taken control of the French warships in the harbor and Le Havre." Seoul City, and then send people to ask for help from Portugal and Britain, while trying to respond to the mission. "
"Okay, let's do it!"
A few people discussed for a while, and after all the soldiers who had gone ashore to play returned to their troops urgently, they immediately began to take action. The city of Le Havre is the "outer port of Paris". If they cannot control this city first, Pang Ning and the others will have no choice but to escape, which is impossible. Go and meet Fang Ge and the others.
Since the Port of Le Havre is the outer port of the capital Paris, which is also the gateway facing the English Channel, there are naturally a lot of warships parked. If you count carefully, there are as many as thirty-two large and small ships;
Fortunately, because it is not in a state of war, the French navy soldiers are in the barracks on the shore, not on the battleship.
Pang Ning ordered the four scissor warships to quickly raise their sails and anchors, and without saying a word, they directly attacked the French warships. The slender hulls swept across the water with such grace that no one would have thought that they were gods of death.
The few remaining soldiers on the French warships were just curious when they saw the four warships approaching. They leaned on the side of the ship and pointed, discussing this new type of warship that they had never seen before.
The Qin delegation has already gone to Paris. Who would have thought that the Qin army in the harbor would suddenly start a war with them
"Hey, something's wrong..."
"What happened?"
"Look, they are getting closer and closer. What are they doing?"
"God, I think they have bad intentions. This is not their place to be."
"They formed a battle line... That is, that is a small boat, they are carrying weapons... Send an alarm quickly, prepare for war, prepare for war... "
It has to be said that the French soldiers on the ship responded very quickly, but no matter how fast it was, it was useless. There were very few soldiers left on the ship. In addition to constantly issuing warnings asking the Qin army's warships not to get closer, they continued to raise their There was no chance of sailing or anchoring.
Even the forts on the shore had no time to react. After the Qin army's four scissor warships drew a crescent-shaped arc on the water, the artillery was pushed out of the portholes one by one.
Boom boom boom... .
Boom boom boom... .
The muzzles of black holes were filled with flames, and nearly a hundred solid bullets streaked across the sea one after another, and hit the French warships fiercely. On the hull of the army, "Bang, bang!" was heard continuously. The hull was pierced, the ship building collapsed, the wall was broken, the broken mast crashed down, and the flying planks flew up. The scene was so heroic that It's thrilling.
Even more frightening are the small boats launched by the clipper ship. Each of these ten small boats can only seat three or five people. They were originally used to grab stalls for landing. At this time, they all carried rockets and flew as fast as flying. Sharks, they attacked from both sides, they specifically picked out those large French warships.
Streams of flames spurted out, and rockets flew away one after another, striking hard on those tall French warships.
boom!
Boom boom... .....
The rockets filled with yellow explosives were definitely not something that a warship with a wooden plank structure could withstand. As the flames rose up, the tall French warships were lifted up one after another as if they were lifted up by the giant hand of God. Half empty.
Some warships were hit by several rockets one after another, and were torn into two pieces by the fireballs that exploded one after another. The bows of some ships were completely lifted out of the water and exploded in violent shock waves, and the entire bows ceased to exist.
Soon there was a raging fire in the harbor, filled with black smoke. The fire helped the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The flames shot straight into the sky a hundred meters high. Poorly, none of the thirty-two French warships had time to raise their sails, and they were ravaged by artillery fire. It turned into huge torches, roasting the water in the bay until it almost boiled.
The originally peaceful city of Le Havre was frightened by this sudden attack. Yes, everyone on the shore was watching this scene stupidly, and even forgot to escape. The lawmen who rushed out of the military camp were The soldiers and sailors opened their mouths and stared, watching their battleships being engulfed in fire...
At this time, Yun Teng led 150 Qin troops, carrying rifles and rockets, and rushed towards the south gate of Le Havre. The French troops at the south gate were still looking at the harbor and shouting to God. Yunteng and the others were already Without any explanation, he pulled the trigger of the Rocket Slide.
Yes, there cannot be any hesitation. If we cannot capture the city of Le Havre, we will not be able to respond to Fango and the others...
