C549 The Fire of the Sea (1/2)

Although Maylor could replenish them with some gunpowder and solid artillery shells, the most lethal flowering bomb would lose a few rounds. There were no supplies at all in the Bohai region.

Right now, there were no universal flowering bomb even in Europe, let alone the backward East Asia. The two French battleship would either go to Shanghai to buy some from merchants or go directly to Hong Kong and the British Navy to purchase. There was no other way.

Why did the two French captains and Maylor value the Da Gu Kou's cannon so much? The reason was that the Da Gu Kou's cannon could not only threaten the battleships, but also store a large amount of gunpowder. This was something that the French urgently needed.

Most importantly, the Green Battalion would not modify cannons, but there were professional engineers amongst this group of French pirates. As long as the cannons were taken down, they could modify them and turn the cannons aimed at the sea 90 degrees to bombard the Industrial Zones.

The shore defense artillery had a powerful range. If the heavy concrete walls of the Special Zone were to be bombarded by the shore defense artillery, it would be as simple as hammering on tofu.

For the Da Gu Kou's cannon emplacement, Maylor and the French Captain had prepared everything they could. They surrounded and attacked the special region with two groups of suspicious soldiers, then secretly sneaked to the west of the cannon emplacement to kill the defending troops when they relaxed.

The sneak attack team's lineup could be said to be luxurious. Three hundred French Veterans s, a thousand over eight flags, and finally, five hundred cavalry killing them all. This kind of team was not something that the Green Battalion s could resist.

However, tonight was strange. It had been more than two hours since the sneak attack, and the sounds of gunshots and shouts had never stopped. Furthermore, each wave was more intense than the last, causing these group of Green Battalion s to fall victim to evil spirits.

They did not have that many ammunition to use, so in the end, the captain of the Zodiac made a bold decision. He wanted to move the warship to the front of the Da Gu Kou's cannon and use the cannons to support the army in battle.

The Zodiac began to send lighting signal s over to the Roman, expressing her strategic intent. The Roman Captain Molde was also not Kraft's superior, so he could not dissuade the Roman from following his orders to adjust the warship.

Controlling the Sail battleship to make short distance movements in the dark night was a test of the sailors' skill. Right now, the two battleships were both heading south, and the starboard cannons of the battleships were shooting towards the Special Zone.

The Zodiac s were to the north and the Roman were to the south. If Kraft wanted to travel to the turret, he would have to go around the Roman s, and when the two ships were standing side by side, in order to prevent any accidents, the cannons could not be activated.

In the pitch black ocean, the Sailor was carefully controlling the area of the sail against the wind. The people jumping up and down on the mast were all busy Sailor.

Zodiac's movements could not be hidden from the veterans of the Special Zone, nor could they hide from the foreign merchants that had entered the deep sea region. In this war, countless foreign cargo ships had always been strictly neutral, some had left early, and of course some merchant ships chose to stay, because the precious goods on board could only be eaten by Letian Firm.

When the two French battleship suddenly attacked, the remaining merchant ships were scared and scattered. Kraft and Molde were Europeans after all, and they also had some love for the same kind of European merchant, especially since there were quite a few Spanish, Portugal, and British merchant ships among the merchant ships.

Just like that, a very strange scene appeared on the surface of the BoHai Sea. Two French battleship s were desperately bombing the special area, and behind the buttocks of the battleships to the east, there were more than ten European merchant ships docked on the sea to watch the fun.

Of course they wanted to leave, but the valuable equipment inside the merchant boat was their life and death, if they did not sell it to the Letian Firm, they would lose everything.

”Look …” The Zodiac began to move! He must want to support the battle at the Da Gu Kou's battery. What should she do? ”The Chinese will not be able to hold on any longer...”

”What else can we do? Send a signal to the shore to warn these Chinese … Oh my God, are these French robbers forcing me to go bankrupt? ”

In the darkness of the night, the ten merchant ships all blinked their eyes at the same time, and the lookout hand on the mast activated the signal lights as they blinked.

The light from the signal lights could be seen from far away in the night. Many of the soldiers participating in the battle at the turret in the special region and the Da Gu Kou were able to understand the signal from the signal lights.

”Look at the merchant ships of the foreigners on the sea... They're sending us a signal... An enemy ship is preparing to ambush Da Gu Kou, a French battleship is preparing to move towards the south, they want to blast Da Gu Kou into pieces … ”

”Clean up the cannon... reloading and preparing to resist... ”

Roars came from the turret. It seemed like the battle had reached its climax. Both sides were now exhausted. There were no more moves left on the turret now. They could no longer be separated.

The panting Green Battalion began running towards the cannons, they threw away the corpses on the cannons and started searching for gunpowder and cannons on the ground, preparing to defend against the enemies in the sea.

How could the Eight Banner Cavalry Soldiers allow them to organize a resistance? With a howl, they charged forward to kill the soldiers who had scattered the cannons.

Green Battalion and the Eight Flags Soldier rushed up layer by layer. In the end, the battle was completely fought by a group of barbarians, and every one of the cannons had their surroundings twisted into a human knot.
