It was just that of course they didn't give the French more time. When they didn't recover, the capital had already ordered a strong attack!

"Nanwei" and "Nanwu" two small gunboats with only 700 tons are bullied at sea, but they have become giant characters in the rivers. No solid fortification can stop his 140mm Armstrong borehole cannon. If one shot is done, the fortifications will be ruined.

What's more, the two gunboats were also equipped with breech rapid-fire guns and shut-off guns. The two gunboats fought in the Red River. They hit all the firepower and attacked the south bank, which made the French people unable to raise their heads. Only the French artillery could speak, and all the other firepower was silent.

Under the cover of powerful artillery fire from warships, Lu Yiwei's troops took the lead in boarding the boat across the river. Because they took on the mission of circumventing siege, all the ships were given to them, and only three round trips were sent to them. All the soldiers of Lu Yiwei's troops were the first to send them over.

After the French army on the other side was occupied by the military port, they had already retreated to the south, knowing that they had lost the protection of the warships. It was very difficult to defend the position on the south bank of the Red River. After Lu Yiwei's troops rushed over, they actually rushed to the sky, with only a small number of Vietnamese vassals left behind. The French local army had already retreated south.

The French Army is also in the top ranks in Europe. If they cannot even see such an obvious strategic purpose as the Qing army, it would be too insulting their reputation.

After all the troops successfully landed on the south bank, they found that they were only defending 7,000 Vietnamese vassals. Their more than 40,000 local main forces were missing. Now it seems that all the previous tactical arrangements have become waste paper.

The sudden evaporation of the enemy made Liu Mingchuan unsure of what he was wrong. The original tactical arrangements were sent to the Ministry of War by telegrams, and submitted to the emperor by the Ministry of War, and then implemented after being personally approved.

But now, the enemy is not going to be where the enemy is going. There is no idea where the large area of ​​Vietnamese land in the south is attacking. If you are dispersed, you are afraid of encountering the main force of the French army. If you attack step by step, you are afraid of wasting time. After the arrival of the French reinforcements, you will miss the best battle.

"Report, spies in front report. A large number of French troops were found in the Hucheng Fortress." A correspondent reported.

"Get the map." Liu Mingchuan shouted loudly.

Hu Cheng Fortress was the earliest place occupied by the French army invaded Vietnam. After more than ten years of construction by the French, the fortifications were very strong. A naval infantry brigade of the French Pacific Fleet was stationed here for a long time. Its laughing fortress and fortress were scattered and equipped with various artillery, cross-controlling the entire fortress.

The fortress is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only enters from the front. Did the French hide here and wait for reinforcements from the warships?

In fact, the French army here, like the Qing army, did not know the fall of the French cabinet. Now the French country is in chaos. The opposition parties are working hard to rule, and the ruling party has no longer cared about the world because of Ferule's resignation. They have long left the tens of thousands of troops in Vietnam.

"Xiao Lu, you see, this battle is about time. We must take him down before the French reinforcements arrives." Dong Liang said looking at the map.

"Go to your madman, I saved your life in Yili back then. You dare to steal my main attacker. Are you worthy of your conscience?"

Wang Feng was startled by Hu's sudden roar. After hearing his words, he even lowered his head and approached and said, "Military Sect, why don't you let me take a feint attack? Anyway, don't let me watch from the side."

"My Crazy Wang, let you take a feint attack? You madman can also play a main attack for me! Genggu, stay there. Be honestly guard the left wing for me and let a French devil come over. I will twist your head off." Liu Mingchuan cursed.

Hu then smiled and patted Wang Feng on the shoulder and said, "Crazy, let me put your brother's gun on the highlight. Maybe I will leave a few French devils for you. Don't be silent at that time. Hahaha." As Hu said that, Hu laughed and left, and Wang Feng was so angry that he cursed Hu villain to be successful.

All the French forces did retreat to the Hucheng Fortress, so the Black Flag Army and Dong Liang's attacks in the other cities were very smooth.

It is really not a simple task to get Liu Mingchuan's 20 artillery battalions. It's okay to get the 75mm and 90mm battalion cannons, but it's not so easy to get the 120mm and 150mm heavy artillery from the ship. When I landed, I only transported troops and no heavy weapons. After all, if I wear them, I would be detonated by French artillery shells.

Now that ships are shipped by ship, it has been a lot of time.

Liu Mingchuan stared at the map, "Are all the marks ready?"

"Go back to the general, it's all right."

"When will the artillery battalion be ready?"

"It may take another day. The brothers below are building the artillery camp positions overnight, calibrating the artillery fire, and there are still a few heavy artillery pieces that have not been installed."

"At most, I'm going to attack tonight. Maybe the French warships are coming here on the road."
