Chapter 333: Landing, the elite British Empire Army!

The captain of the Leeds answered, stayed to share the enemy's artillery fire, and used his starboard naval gun to fight back against the Qing people's attack. However, their artillery could rarely cause any substantial damage to the opponent's artillery except for the stone chips outside the artillery.

"Retaliation, soldiers, fight back with all their might, target, warship starboard, shooting, shooting at full speed!" Lieutenant Terry, the commander of the deck artillery, wiped a blood mixed with gunpowder and smoke on his face. He didn't care about seeing the casualties on the deck, he shouted loudly, kicking the humans lying on the deck with his feet. As long as he was alive, he would pull him up and let him return to his combat position to fight, instead of lying on the deck like a coward, trembling.

The opponent's shells hit the warship hull or deck like heavy hammers, making the warship tremble like a bird passing by in the wind.

The gunners were shouting bravely and trying hard to return to their colors. However, the other party's turret was really desperate. The other party's turret was very high, which forced the British gunners to shoot at an elevation angle as much as possible. However, the warships were being hit continuously, and the shaking ship made it difficult for them to aim accurately.

However, even if they can accurately aim at the turret, their targets are still those solid turret bunkers and those shooting holes. If they want to aim and rush into the turret, they are like standing on the street, tilting their heads and opening their mouths, waiting for a piece of bird poop to fall into their mouths accurately. Or they are lucky or unlucky...

At this time, Liang Pengfei's men finally understood why Liang Pengfei asked for the construction of such an exaggerated turret. "While saving himself, while doing his best to eliminate the enemy's vitality, this is the successful defense." Liang Pengfei boasted proudly about this.

"Young Master, look, there are many ships over there that are heading towards the shore." At this time, Bai Shusheng, who was always responsible for paying attention to the other side's main force, shouted loudly to Liang Pengfei, and the sound of cannons continued to be heard, making people have to yell when communicating to let the other party understand what they mean.

Liang Pengfei immediately squeezed over. Sure enough, he saw the transport ships and merchant ships in the British fleet starting to travel towards the Qishan area about three miles south of the Shajiao Fort. It seemed that he was preparing to carry out landing operations there. The goal was naturally self-evident, and it must have come to the Shajiao Fort.

"Haha, I can't hold it in. Come on, I have prepared a big delicious meal for them. Monk, send a signal and tell Liang Shuisheng that they can prepare." Liang Pengfei laughed several times. Since the British launched the war of aggression against China decades ahead of schedule, their tactics were still consistent with the British invaders in another time and space. After being hit hard by the Shajiao Fort, they landed through this area and launched an attack from the shore to the rear and flanks of the Shajiao Fort. In the end, the British invaders in another time and space were successful.

But now, the shameless and foresighted, who have always been a villain rather than a gentleman, and are proud of calculating others, and are ashamed of not occupying others' side. Therefore, the failure of these British men is doomed.

"As for the order!" Monk Chen nodded, turned around and ran out. After giving Liang Pengfei's order to the messenger who had been waiting outside, the messenger used flag words to test Liang Pengfei's military order to the soldiers of the special battalion in the south.

"Okay, tell them that we have received an order and asked them to report back to the young master that no matter how many British guys come to, the three valleys will be the cemetery of those British people." Liang Shuisheng, who was standing at the top of Guishan Mountain, rubbed each other hard with his hands, turned around and rushed along an indistinguishable path and rushed to the hillside where the two companies of the Special Battalion had entered the combat position.

Sanshan Loe is just a name that Liang Pengfei himself gave, to describe the Guishan Mountain sandwiched to the north, Qishan Mountain facing the sea, and Baihe Mountain facing the east. These three mountains stand here almost in an equilateral triangle shape. In the middle is a newly built spacious and flat avenue, which can directly lead from the fishermen's pier south of Qishan to the rear of the Shajiao Fort.

Construction started more than a month before Liang Pengfei was preparing to rebuild the Humen Fort. In order to ensure that the avenue was wide enough, the British warships were completely completed half a month before they appeared in the Pearl River Estuary.

After the completion of this road, Liang Pengfei strictly blocked the road. Except for the soldiers of the Liang family, no idle people appeared on this road, because this road was specially built to facilitate the British to attack the Shajiao Fort by land.

Although most of their subordinates complained about Liang Pengfei's behavior of wasting people and causing money, they still firmly implemented it with Liang Pengfei's insistence, and now, this avenue finally came in handy.

British armed merchant ships and troop transport ships used their artillery to aim at the Qing army on the shore and bombarded several rounds. The Qing army almost ran towards the rear at a speed of galloping horses that heard the starting guns.

This cowardly behavior finally made Major General Ford, who had seen the true style of a Qing army, feel a secret relief. It seems that the enemies who fought bravely on the fort were only relying on solid forts to have the courage to fight artillery face to face with the British Navy. The small dock used by the fisherman really did not have much strategic value, so they did not dispatch many soldiers, nor did they build the forts, which was equivalent to giving the British an excellent opportunity.

"God is still on our side." Seeing that the British Empire's army successfully drove away the Qing army stationed at the small pier, Macartney, who had begun to land, drew a cross on his chest. At this time, he found that his palm was covered with sweat.

"Of course God will stand on our side." Stondong laughed and clenched his fists hard: "We excellent soldiers will win under the protection of God and His Majesty the King. And we will become witnesses of history."

"Of course I hope this is..." Macartney frowned almost undetectedly. He turned his gaze back and landed on Liang Sanhuai, who was standing on the front deck of the flagship with Xiao Sidangdong. He always felt that the conversation between this guy and he was full of pessimism, and he seemed not optimistic about the British attack on Guangzhou.

Moreover, he also mentioned the name of a Qing general. When he thought of that name, Macartney felt that his cheeks were hurting, because it was the pain caused by gritting his teeth too hard.

"Liang Pengfei..." That's right, it was this guy, this butcher, who had executed nearly 600 British people twice without a trace of compassion, and did not even leave a living. Although Macartney was reserved about the smuggling of drugs such as opium, it did not prevent him from viewing this smuggling activity from the perspective of a politician of the British Empire.

Smuggling is indeed illegal, and opium smuggling is even more so, but as a shockingly terrifying trade deficit between the British Empire and this huge Qing country, every politician who loves the British Empire cannot tolerate it.

"All this is for the benefit of the empire." Macartney made the final defense of his psychological activities. However, Liang Sanhuai just told himself that the butcher's defense area was here. Although the butcher's reputation was not well-known in the capital of this empire, almost all Western merchants in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and even Macau had a sense of resentment and fear towards him. Of course, this has a lot to do with his mercy and cruelty towards smuggling activities.

This made a cloud appear in Macartney's heart. Although he had already told Major General Ford the news, Major General Ford had only three views on General Liang, who had welcomed them in the coast of Annan: despicable, greedy, and his soldiers were simply a group of robbers with no military discipline.

At that time, Major General Ford just said reservedly that he would appear more cautious when commanding and did not care too much, and Macartney also didn't care much.

However, after being continuously scheming by opponents, causing continuous damage to the warships of the British Empire Navy, as an excellent politician, he still felt that General Liang did not seem to be a easy-to-deal role.

Therefore, he agreed with Major General Ford to transfer the attack target to land, rather than using the precious British Empire Navy's warships and soldiers' lives to exchange for the opponent's turrets, which is a lose-lose fighting style.

Now, Major General Ford has treated his opponent as a strong enemy, so he sent a total of 2,500 army soldiers, of which one of the elite British Empire soldiers had a battalion of 500.

With these battle-hardened elite infantry formations, I believe that those Indian mercenaries who have also experienced a long time of training and have won many victories in the battle with the Indian Land King should have enough courage and confidence to occupy the Sand Corner Fortress that horizontally blocked the waterway through Guangzhou from the mouth of the Pearl River.
