Liu Liangzuo's flagship suffered heavy losses, and after hoisting the flag of retreat, he fled westward in a small boat.In the Qing army's water division, the sound of striking gongs was endless, but at this time it was too late for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.The centipede boat of the Ming army was a multi-oared fast boat, and the Qing army was difficult to turn for a while, and it was a fierce battle to be entangled by the Ming army, and seventy or eighty of the two hundred warships fled to Dantu Town in the east of the Zhenjiang River, and most of the rest were lost in the river.The warships of the Qing army were either destroyed by the Ming army, or captured by the Ming army, and thousands of Liu Bu's sailors died and fell, and the river was full of driftwood and corpses.The Ming warship is tall, and you can overlook the Qing warship on the deck, and the Qing army on the deck has an unobstructed view, and the Qing army on the deck has nowhere to dodge, so the Ming soldiers shot the Qing army below from the top deck, and bombarded the Qing army on the deck with grenades.Many Qing warships were captured by the Ming army because of the heavy casualties of the people on board and the heavy losses of the sailors, so they were unable to control the warships.However, the losses of the Ming army were also very large, more than ten warships were burned, and more than a dozen warships suffered heavy losses, and even five gunboats were damaged to varying degrees.On the south bank, Man Dahai saw the defeat of the Qing army's naval division, and suddenly jumped like thunder, and tried to step forward several times, but was stopped by the Yangtze River in front of him.On the south coast, in addition to the artillery array, Mandahai also has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and he dares to guarantee that as long as Zhao Zamao dares to go to the south bank, he will be able to beat Zhao Zamao's out, but at the moment he can only watch the failure of the sailors."
Kill the dog!"
On the river, the Ming soldiers roared angrily.The warships chased the fleeing Qing naval division into the northern channel, and at this time the naval artillery once again covered the sandbank, and Wang Deshun led more than ten warships to rush directly to the sandbank.The Qing defenders on the sandbar suffered heavy losses in the artillery battle, and now the Qing army's naval division has been defeated, and the sandbar has been shelled again, and the Qing army above has suddenly collapsed."
Kill the dog!"
Rushed to the edge of the sandbar, the board of the ship was opened, and the Ming soldiers on the deck directly picked up their weapons and jumped into the water, roaring angrily, while rushing to the sandbar, behind them, the side of the Ming warship was aimed at the sandbank, and the cannonballs crossed the heads of the Ming soldiers, splashing mud pillars on the beachhead, destroying the sporadic obstruction of the Qing army.At dusk, the water battle ended.The Ming army occupied the sandbank, the sailor chased to Dantu Town in the east of Zhenjiang, the remnants of the Qing army's sailor retreated into Zhenjiang, and the Ming army returned to Yang Fan.On the river, there are burning wrecks of warships and cruising warships everywhere, and the Ming army sailors salvage goods and rescue the wounded.The Qing army on the south bank fired three rounds of artillery during the whole process, and witnessed the entire process of the water battle, and Mandahai was completely dumbfounded.He set up a pocket formation, the original intention was that the sailor would force the Ming warships into the south channel, and then the Shazhou Fort, the south bank artillery array, plus the Qing Army's naval division surrounded and suppressed on three sides, and defeated Zhao Zamao's naval division, but now the result is that the naval division was defeated, and the Shazhou Fort also fell.In this way, Zhao Zamao opened the channel to Zhenjiang, and both sides of the Yangtze River from Chongming to Zhenjiang for more than 500 miles will be threatened by Zhao Zamao.Although the Qing army set up an artillery array on the south bank, but the artillery was inconvenient to move, the Ming ships appeared near Dantu Town, and fired artillery bombardment of the Qing army camp to provoke, the Qing army jumped like thunder, but there was nothing to be done.They have strong troops and are not afraid of Zhao Zamao on land, but the sailor was defeated, but there was no way to take Zhao Zamao in the water.In the next few days, the Ming army and navy attacked Zhenjiang several times, fired artillery to provoke the Qing army, and even advanced inch by inch, landing on the shore to challenge the Qing army's defense, and attacking the coastal piers and county seats.This made Mandahai extremely annoyed, so he could only continue to draw troops and return to the front line of the Yangtze River.In Zhenjiang City, in the festival hall, Mandahai jumped like thunder, the generals of the Qing army on both sides bowed their heads and lowered their hands, and in the middle kneeled Liu Liangzuo and Zu Zerun."
How can this be true?
Jiangfang has been in operation for four years, and the water division has been established for three years, and you still let Zhao Za*** approach Zhenjiang, so how can this king explain to the court!
”Man Dahai scolded.In recent years, the Qing army has made great efforts and invested so much in the defense of the rivers and seas that it has even affected the combat effectiveness of the Qing army's horse-foot army.In recent years, in order to prevent the attack of Zhao Zamao, part of the military expenses were allocated to the sailors and used to build forts, so that many green battalion soldiers did not even have a set of cloth armor, but only issued a gray cloth coat and a hat.Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has sacrificed so much, the sailors who have invested heavily in building it, as well as the Jiangfang that has been operating for several years, are still broken by Zhao Ming, so how can Man Dahai and Fan Wencheng, who presided over the Jiangfang, be embarrassed?
If the Ming army reached Zhenjiang and cut off the Cao Yun, the Manchu court would inevitably be furious, and Mandahai would probably be held accountable again."
Lord Wang, the minions have been fighting desperately, and the Haikou artillery is too sharp."
Liu Liangzuo knew that he had to defend himself at this time.Zu Zerun also said: "Lord Wang, a gunboat in Haikou, the artillery on board is equivalent to the fort, and once the sailor is defeated, the fort will not be able to hold on at all."
The slave wanted to keep Qingshan and not be afraid of no firewood, in order to serve the Qing Dynasty in the future, so he made a living. ”Man Dahai was furious, stepped forward and kicked Zu Zerun and Liu Liangzuo over, "Dog minion, you want to be shameless!"
”At the time of the water battle on the Yangtze River, outside Hangzhou and in the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Yihai and others were urgently negotiating.After carefully reporting that Man Dahai returned to the Yangtze River, Zhu Yihai began to storm the city of Hangzhou, and after a few days, the results were very small, but the casualties were very heavy.In the dark night, the sky was raining, and in Zhu Yihai's tent, many generals looked at the sand table with heavy faces.Zhu Yihai said with annoyance: "According to the report from the scout, Man Dahai transferred a Qing army from Huzhou to the north, and the Qing army north of Hangzhou is less than 30,000 people.The 40,000 Qing troops in the direction of Ningguo were also pinned down by Li Chengdong in Wenji Mountain.For Gu, this was an excellent opportunity to capture Hangzhou, but several attacks failed to shake the defense of Hangzhou, but instead lost thousands of soldiers.If this continues for a long time, the army will not be able to attack for a long time, and the soldiers will be tired, not only will Bo'an's efforts to take the risk of containing Mandahai be in vain, but the army will also be in danger of repeating the mistakes of the past. ”Everyone was silent when they heard the words, and the old handsome Zhang Mingzhen said in a deep voice: "The city of Hangzhou is thick and thick, the Qing army in the city has sufficient troops, and the grain and grass can be eaten for a year. ”The Zhejiang army must take advantage of the Mandahai being pinned down by Zhao Ming and quickly seize Hangzhou, otherwise the battle of the Zhejiang army to restore Hangzhou may fail again.Zhu Yihai frowned and said, "Do you Aiqing have any other strategies?"
”Wu Zhaosheng sighed and said: "The ministers tried to dig the tunnel, and as soon as the tunnel approached the city yesterday, it was discovered by the Qing dog in the city, which blew up the tunnel, flooded the river, and lost hundreds of brothers. ”The tent was speechless for a while, and Fang Guoan, who had been gloomy for a while, suddenly gritted his teeth with resentment, "Your Highness, the minister has a plan." ”Zhu Yihai raised his eyebrows, and said happily: "What is the general's strategy, you can say it quickly!"
”Fang Guoan's face was gloomy, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Your Highness, it has been raining for several days, the water level of the Qiantang River, Fuchun River, and Dongtiao River has risen, and the army can build a dam to hold back the water upstream, and also build an earthen embankment downstream, and then wait for a small tide to pour into the river, and when the sea water pours into the river, pull open the upstream soil bag, and blow up the embankment, flooding Hangzhou." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe.) ）()
