The Ming fleet did not get close to the forts, and after firing at a long distance, they broke away from the bombardment range of the two forts of Wolf Mountain and Fushan, and returned to Chongming down the river.On the Zhenhai, Zhao Ming called Guo Zhong and asked, "If it is a strong attack, can you destroy the fort." ”Guo Zhong thought for a while and nodded, "The gunboat has not been trained for a long time, and the hit is not high, and the gunboat target is huge, it is easy to be hit, and a strong attack can destroy the battery, but the loss of the fleet will inevitably be great." ”When Zhao Ming heard this, he knew it in his heart, so he immediately ordered: "After arriving in Chongming, Gu Guandao and Wang Deshun stayed in Chongming as usual, and the rest of the men and horses went north with Ben Shuai, entered the Huaijiang River first, and went straight to Huai'an City. ”Gu San hurriedly clenched his fists, "The last general will take the order!"
”Wang Deshun stood up and saluted: "The humble position was originally just a small pawn in Jiangyin City, but with the support of the handsome, he can have today's position."
This time, the marshal trusted Chongming with Chongming, and kept Chongming well.The handsome man just went north to smash the Yellow Dragon, and waited for good news in Chongming!
”Speaking of this, Wang Deshun suddenly twisted a little and said: "It's just that after the humble commander entered the battle of the Yangtze River, he failed to go into battle, and he grew a circle of fat on his waist. ”Zhao Ming looked up to the sky and laughed, patted the other party on the shoulder and said: "Deshun, don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future, and Ben Shuai will definitely take you with him at that time!"
”Wang Deshun listened to the joy and said, "There is no joke in the army, and the words of the commander must be counted."
I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, and I've seen the heroic posture of the handsome!
It's really nostalgic for the pride of following behind the big handsome and rushing to kill in the midst of all hosts!
”"Haha~" Zhao Ming was quite proud when he heard this, laughed for a while, suddenly put away his smile, and said seriously: "Naturally, once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase the horse!"
He was handsome in Japan to recover Jiangnan, and Chongmingwei was the vanguard!
”When Wang Deshun heard this, he clenched his fists arrogantly, "If that's the case, you will earn an earl!"
”"Good!"
Zhao Ming couldn't help but praise and cheer for him.When the fleet arrived in Chongming, Zhao Ming left more than 5,000 people to guard Chongming, bluff, contain Hong Chengchou and Mandahai, and then led the main force to take advantage of the night to go out of the mouth of the Yangtze River and go north to the mouth of the Huaijiang River.The Huaijiang River, located in the north of the Yangtze River, has always been a strategic place for the southern regime to resist the invasion of the north.The Huai River is very important to the southern regime, is the focus of military defense, Hongguang court five town soldiers, one town in Wuchang, four towns in two Huai, can know its importance.However, this was not so important for the southern court, but not so important for the north, especially for the Manchu Qing, the Qing army had already crossed the Yangtze River, and the Huai River did not have much military role.~~~~~~ night of October 5, the entrance of the Huai River.This matter of the Yellow River rushes south, borrowing the Huai River into the sea, so the Huai River has sufficient water and the river channel is very wide.In the dark night, under the cover of night, the fleet from Chongming finally arrived at the entrance of Huaijiang after several days of sailing.At this time, the huge fleet was sailing on the sea, and Zhao Ming was on the Zhenhai again, convening the generals to discuss the matter.At this time, Zhao Ming had already put on a suit of armor, and many generals were also neatly draped, standing according to their swords, with a solemn expression."
Where did the dynasty come first?"
Zhao Ming shouted.The dynasty came out first and clenched his fists, "The end will be!"
”Zhao Ming drew an arrow and ordered loudly, "This general will order you to lead three battalions of soldiers to sweep the south bank of the Huaijiang River, destroy the coastal salt works, collect grain, and recruit people to transport grain and pull fiber." ”Wang Chao took the order arrow first, hugged his fists and received the order, "The last general will obey the order!"
”Zhao Ming then said: "Where is Ruan Mei?
”"The last general!"
Nguyen Mei hugged her fists.Zhao Ming also drew an arrow, "This commander ordered you to lead three battalions of soldiers, sweep the north of the Huaijiang River, seize Shuyang and Haizhou counties, collect grain, transport it to Haizhou, and wait for the fleet to go north." ”Ruan Mei solemnly clenched her fists, "The last general will take the order!"
”Zhao Ming immediately glanced at the rest of the people and shouted loudly, "The rest, follow the general to go straight to the Cloud Ladder Pass and open up the waterway to Huai'an!"
”"No!"
The generals clasped their fists in unison.At present, the fleet was divided into three groups, one followed Zhao Ming into the Huaijiang River, one directly berthed on the coast in the northwest of Yancheng County, and the other went north to attack Haizhou, and used Haizhou as a stronghold to plunder the surroundings and disrupt Huaibei.Different from Jiangnan, the people of Jiangbei are not very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, when the Hongguang Dynasty set up four towns, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jiejun have looted places, and even attacked Yangzhou, so that the people have a good impression of the Ming army.And this situation, the further north you go, the more obvious it becomes, and after the shaving order, the northern resistance is not as fierce as that of the south of the Yangtze River.Zhao Ming wants to contain the Qing army and disrupt the deployment of the Qing army, it is not enough to attack the city, but also to create chaos in the two Huai, the best way is to loot and create displaced people, so that even after Zhao Ming withdraws from the Huai River, the two Huai areas will not be stable in a short time.Lianghuai is the granary of Huguang and Jiangnan, so it can destroy the livelihood of Lianghuai, and Zhao Ming can obtain a large number of materials and grain to deal with the situation that Zhao Ming can no longer obtain materials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the Manchu Qing Dynasty banned the sea.In the dark night, both sides of the Huai River are flat plains, and a soil city in front of it is very conspicuous."
Dashuai, the ladder has arrived!"
Guo Zhong looked at the bow of the boat, and suddenly came over to report.A few months ago, Zhao Ming had sent some military households to the islands off the coast of Shandong and at the entrance of the Huai River to spy on the land.Zhao Ming was holding a map drawn by the Ming army at the mouth of the Huaijiang River and Kaishan Island not long ago, and after listening to Guo Zhongyu's report, he immediately closed the map and ordered: "The ship extinguishes the torch, let the small boat carry troops ashore, and the big ship shells to knock down Yunti City." ”After Zhao Ming read the information provided by the Ming army on Kaishan Island, he learned that Yunti Pass was actually several earthen cities at the entrance of the Huai River, and there was only one thousand people and less than five hundred people stationed there.The Qing army did not have a sense of coastal defense, if it weren't for Zhao Ming's entry into the Yangtze River, the Qing army would never have thought about preparing for river defense and coastal defense.Compared with the Yangtze River, the Huaijiang River can be said to be undefended for the Ming army.In the darkness of the night, nearly a hundred small boats, carrying 3,000 soldiers, approached the shore.At this time, on the dark river, the Ming gunboats made a "boom" cannon sound, spraying flames, and nearly 100 shells whistled out and smashed into the earthen city, waking up the sleeping Qing army, and the Qing soldiers were suddenly strung like headless flies.On the small boat on the shore, Li Zhongming drew his knife in his hand, and immediately shouted loudly, "Kill me!"
”The three thousand Ming soldiers, waiting for the boat to stop, jumped off the boat one after another, carried the ladder and pounced on the Tucheng, and the Huaijiang Estuary suddenly shook the sky.October 8, ~~~~~~, Zhenjiang City, the governor of the province.Hong Chengchou was discussing the military situation with Man Dahai, and the scouts of Songjiang Mansion reported that the Ming army in Chongming had decreased, which made the two of them wonder for a while, where did the Ming army go.Man Dahai frowned slightly, "Isn't it that Zhao Zamao saw that it was difficult to enter the Yangtze River and led the fleet back to Zhoushan?"
”Hong Chengchou was a little uneasy, and his intuition told him that Zhao Tiebang was not such a person who gave up so easily.At this moment, an official walked in quickly, saw the two of them, and reported in a panic: "Lord Beile, Lord Zhongtang, something is not good, Zhao Zamao entered the Huaijiang River, broke through the Yunti Pass, and the navy went straight to Huai'an!"
”"What!"
Hong Chengchou shot the case, his face full of astonishment, "Zhao Tiebang actually killed the Huai River!"
