Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Heb's flagship was completely destroyed. It was hit by He Zhengqing and Liu Ye in succession. Even the best warship could not withstand it, not to mention that the boiler of the warship was hit. The violent explosion has caused serious damage to the warship and completely lost power!

Heb's heart was bleeding. This warship was the flagship that the empire spent 100,000 pounds to build, and now it was destroyed. When he returned to the country, he was afraid that those parliamentarians would never forgive him and would drown him with spit!

But now these are no longer important. What is important is that the flagship has completely become a target. If I stay here like this, I am afraid I will be eaten by the fish!

"Quick, lower the lifeboat and leave the flagship immediately!"

Herb shouted anxiously, saying that he had to leave. The explosion just now not only severely damaged the deck, but also destroyed the watchtower. It was impossible for him to continue commanding. Herb could only use the lifeboat to run to another warship to continue commanding the battle.

The frustrated Herb jumped onto the lifeboat and ran to the nearest battleship, the USS Cole, to continue commanding the attack, leaving the flagship Liverpool alone on the sea.

At the South Fort, Shi Rongchun was commanding the battle. At the North Fort, Long Ruyuan, He Zhengqing and Liu Ye were in charge, so there were no problems. However, the situation was not so good at the South Fort. He had to be in charge himself to boost morale.

Shi Rongchun saw at a glance that the foreigner's flagship was hit by shells from the North Fort continuously, exploding continuously, and it was obviously destroyed. Shi Rongchun was overjoyed and shouted from the high platform: "Hit it, hit it, the foreigner's flagship has been hit! Hit it hard, and make sure the foreigners know the mighty power of China!"

"boom!"

While Shi Rongchun was shouting, a shell landed on his side and exploded violently. Shi Rongchun's body was directly swept up by the air wave and fell heavily in the distance.

The violent explosion created a large crater on the fort, and the flying sand and gravel cut wounds on Shi Rongchun's body. This was not the most serious thing. The serious thing was that countless shrapnel exploded into Shi Rongchun's body, causing him to bleed profusely. His forehead was also injured by shrapnel, and Shi Rongchun was twitching slightly. It was obvious that he was no longer able to survive.

Dong Cheng, the lieutenant commander of the Southern Fort, was obviously shocked by the situation. The admiral was seriously injured and could not afford it! This requires an order!

Dong Cheng immediately came to his senses and rushed over, shouting, "Admiral, Admiral!"

When he picked up Shi Rongchun, he was covered in blood and could hardly speak...

Dong Cheng yelled to the back, "Quick, military doctor, where the hell is the military doctor? Stop the bleeding and heal the admiral immediately! Report to General Long immediately, the admiral is seriously injured and unconscious! Quick!"

The personal guards behind him ran away in panic. The admiral was seriously injured. How could they fight the next battle?

Shi Rongchun's serious injury dealt a huge blow to the officers and soldiers of the South Fort. Without a leader, with only Dong Cheng left, it was obvious that they were unable to hold the fort. Even their artillery fire had become disorganized and they were completely suppressed by the naval guns on the sea. Several warships were rapidly approaching the South Fort!

On the North Fort, Long Ruyuan and He Zhengqing clearly felt the changes in the South Fort. Suddenly, the artillery fire on the South Fort weakened and became chaotic. Something must have happened!

When several people were worried, a fast horse came galloping from behind. A Qing soldier came close and fell off the horse, shouting urgently: "General Long, it's not good!"

Long Ruyuan's heart sank, and He Zhengqing and Liu Ye beside him also felt something was wrong.

Long Ruyuan shouted, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The Qing army replied: "General Long, the Admiral was unfortunately hit by a foreign artillery shell while commanding the battle and was seriously injured. I'm afraid he will..."

Before the Qing soldier could finish, Long Ruyuan was so frightened that he almost fell down. The Admiral was the commander of Dagukou! If he was in trouble, how could the battle continue? No wonder the South Fort was in chaos!

He Zhengqing standing aside was also extremely depressed. He had just destroyed the foreigner's flagship, and then the foreigner came back with a surprise attack. Marshal Yin was seriously injured. What should he do next?

Liu Ye quickly interrupted, "Lieutenant General, you must take over the command of Dagukou now. I am with you at the North Fort, so there will be no problem. However, the South Fort is in danger. You must rush to the South Fort immediately to command the battle. If you go too late, it will be too late!"

Long Ruyuan thought so too. The admiral was seriously injured, which had a serious impact on the morale of the Qing army in the South Fort. He had to go there himself to stabilize the morale. Otherwise, once the enemy's army landed from the South Fort, not only the South Fort would be in danger, but even the North Fort would be in trouble!

Long Ruyuan shouted, "Zhengqing, I'll leave this to you. Watch over it, I'm going to the South Fort right now!

After saying this, Long Ruyuan jumped on his horse and galloped towards the South Fort!

By the time Long Ruyuan arrived at the South Fort, the Qing troops there were already in chaos. Facing the intensive attack from the naval guns, all the soldiers were somewhat panicked. Shi Rongchun's serious injury had a huge impact on them. Even Lieutenant General Dong Chengdu was panicked, not to mention the others. Some Qing soldiers were even ready to desert. If they were hit by the foreign devils' shells, their lives would definitely be over!

When Long Ruyuan arrived at the top of the artillery position, a Qing soldier was just about to sneak back and escape.

Long Ruyuan directly pulled out his sword and slashed at the Qing soldier fiercely!

Ah!

There was a scream, followed by blood splattering and a head flying up.

Long Ruyuan glared and roared as he sat on his horse, "Anyone who dares to desert in battle will suffer this fate! Dong Cheng, watch out for me! Anyone who threatens the morale of the army will be killed without mercy! The Admiral has led us all well, and now he's seriously injured and unconscious, yet you don't even think of seeking revenge? Have you given your consciences to the dogs? Beat him up, damn it! Don't be a coward!"

After saying this, Long Ruyuan jumped off his horse and personally walked to a heavy artillery. He pushed the artilleryman away and shouted, "Load the shells for me! I want to operate the artillery myself!"

However, even though Long Ruyuan's arrival stabilized the morale of the Qing army and gradually began an organized counterattack, the three warships had still approached the South Fort, and soldiers had already begun landing!

Long Ruyuan was startled and shouted, "Order the musket team, prepare and charge forward immediately. We must beat those foreign devils back!"
