At the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Qing army built a number of forts to guard against the Ming army of Donghai Town, which was entrenched in Chongming, and attacked and disturbed the Yangtze River.Jingjiang is located in the north of Jiangyin, southeast of Taixing, west of Tongzhou, not the mouth of the Yangtze River, has penetrated into the Yangtze River, and then more than 100 miles against the river is Yangzhong and Dantu.Jingjiang is not an ordinary fort, but a sandbar in the center of the river, the fort was built on a sandbar to control the choke, and it was actually attacked and occupied by pirates.There are only a few thousand pirates and 100 ships on Chongming Island, and they can actually take Jingjiang?
Manda Hai was speechless for a while, and the fall of Jingjiang means that Haikou can continue to go against the river, but Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and Jiangning may all be attacked.As soon as Zhao Ming entered the Yangtze River, he killed under the city of Jiangning, broke the outer Guocheng, and shook the world, and many Jiangnan officials should lose their heads.If the Haikou soldiers are allowed to come to the south of the Yangtze River again, shake the world, and affect the occupation of Huguang, then Man Dahai and Fan Wencheng will be heavily responsible."
How did Haikou break through the Wolf Mountain and Fushan Fort and take the Jingjiang Fort, do you know the detailed information?"
Man Dahai said with a gloomy face."
Back to the prince, according to the investigation, judging from the wolf smoke sent from the piers along the river, the Haikou should have attacked directly, and within half a day, three forts were taken down in a row!"
Someone to report.When everyone heard this, the hall was shocked, within one day, three forts were taken down in a row, was the Qing army too bad, or the Haikou too strong?"
Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is not just Chongming Haikou, with them alone, it is impossible to connect three forts!"
Shen Zhixiang said.Many generals in the lobby whispered for a while, guessing who was so powerful."
I'm afraid it's not Zhao Zamao!"
Liu Liangzuo smashed his mouth and said suddenly.Man Dahai leaned back in his chair, his expression was uncertain, what Liu Liangzuo said may be right, maybe it was really Zhao Zamao who came."
Could it really be him!"
Man Dahai frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, except for Zhao Zamao, who else could be so fierce.Shen Zhixiang also frowned, "Lord Wang, if it's Zhao Zamao, why did he appear behind us, we can't help but guard against it!"
”Liu Liangzuo was also worried: "Zhao Zamao's sailor is powerful, in case the coastal batteries can't stop him, let him rush to Nanjing, how about it?"
”The Qing army is now stationed in the north of Hangzhou, and the troops along the Yangtze River are not sufficient, and the city of Jiangning is also empty, so it is not impossible.For a while, everyone in the lobby was talking, discussing why Zhao Zamao went from Hangzhou to the Yangtze River, and what might happen after Zhao Zamao entered the Yangtze River.Man Dahai pondered for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand, "It must be that the thief army saw that Hangzhou could not be captured for a while, and was worried that the king's army would suddenly kill, so let Zhao Zamao kill into the Yangtze River, intending to contain the king!"
”Shen Zhixiang bowed slightly, "If this is the case, how should we deal with it?"
”Zhao Zamao entered the Yangtze River, if he was not guarded against, Zhao Zamao was very likely to rush to Jiangning in one go, and the consequences caused by this would be difficult for Mandahai to bear, and if he went to deal with Zhao Zamao, Zhu Yihai would lose his containment and would definitely besiege Hangzhou with all his might.Man Dahai patted his hands on the armrests, walked to the map by the wall with his hands, and after staring at it for a long time, he suddenly sneered: "The city of Hangzhou is high and thick, and there are 50,000 troops stationed there, even if there is no king to contain it, it will not be easy for Zhu Yihai to capture it."
This king decided, first deal with Zhao Zamao, this guy actually dared to break into the Yangtze River, it was simply a way to kill himself, this king first destroyed Zhao Zamao, and when he returned to the division, the thief army under the city of Hangzhou was also tired, just a battle to break it!
”"The intention of the prince is to encircle and suppress Zhao Zamao first, and then return to the division to defeat Zhu Yihai, is there enough time!"
Shen Zhixiang asked.Man Dahai frowned, and his face fell, "Why, you don't believe in this king!"
Hangzhou Chengjian, Zhang Cunren held on for two months without a problem, and Zhao Zamao's troops entered the Yangtze River, there was no city to rely on, as long as the fort was recaptured, the river was blocked, the sailors were dispatched, and heavy artillery was set up on the shore to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Zamao, and the victory or defeat could be decided in one day, and it was completely too late to return to the division. ”Zhao Zamao's warships crisscrossed the wide sea, and the Qing army's naval division was not an opponent at all, but the Yangtze River was like a cage relative to the sea.After the sailors of Donghai Town entered the Yangtze River, they were limited by the river surface and water flow, and it was not particularly convenient to turn around, and the tactics at sea could not be used, and the superiority of the navy would be shortened.Since the last time he was defeated by Zhao Ming in Shandong, Man Dahai has been looking for an opportunity to be ashamed, this time Zhao Ming entered the Yangtze River, for Man Dahai, it was the yellow eel into the bamboo basket, even if it was slipping, it was difficult to escape from the cage.The main force of the Zhejiang army is attacking Hangzhou, and Zhao Zamao's sailors must not have much infantry and cavalry to cooperate.When the sailors enter the Yangtze River, they can only sail on the Yangtze River waterway, and as long as they control the exit, hold the front, and limit the scope of the sailors' activities, it is possible to completely annihilate Zhao Zamao's sailors.In early October, after the Ming army and naval divisions occupied the Jingjiang River, Zhao Ming did not dare to continue to penetrate into the Yangtze River.The naval division did not have enough infantry to cooperate and could not control the batteries along the Yangtze River, and if the Qing army recaptured the batteries and controlled the river, even the most powerful gunboats would become the target of the Qing army.At this time, on the river near the Jingjiang River, warships covered the river, and hundreds of warships sailed to the south bank.Zhao Ming stood on the deck of the flagship Zhenhai, staring at Jiangyin City on the south bank, and after a while, the ships approached Jiangyin, and the five gunboats aimed at the city, all roaring in unison.More than 100 shells of a few catties to more than 10 catties roared out and smashed into the city wall, splashing gravel and filling the city with smoke.On the city wall, the green battalion soldiers, wearing gray cloth coats with the word "soldier" written on their chests and red-topped hats, fired several cannons to return fire, and the shells splashed a few water columns on the river, and they were subjected to the concentrated fire of the naval artillery, and the artillery array was hit by dozens of shells in an instant.After just two quarters of an hour of shelling, the Qing army's artillery array was in disarray, the artillery was overturned, and the corpses of the green battalion soldiers were lying around the artillery.In the city, fires were burning everywhere, and the officers of the Green Battalion, wearing black official robes and bowls and hats, with hundreds of remnants of the Qing army, ran through the streets in a hurry and fled from the gate of the southern city.The Ming gunboats, a few salvos, destroyed the defense of a county town, which made Zhao Ming quite excited, and found a little feeling of strong ships and sharp guns.At this time, he and the generals boarded the land, came to the outside of Jiangyin City, found the mass grave where the corpses were buried, and paid tribute to the more than 100,000 people who died in the Jiangyin City.Zhao Ming spilled a bowl of wine on the ground, and a scout rushed over."
Report!
Dashuai, send a large number of Qing troops and go straight to Fushan Fort!
”The scout rolled over and dismounted, reporting on one knee.Zhao Ming frowned slightly when he heard this, and at the same time he was a little happy, "Man Dahai has returned to his teacher." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
