Section 1236 A Dream of Nanke
Zhu Youlang's behavior fell into the eyes of some people, which cast a haze on their hearts.
They knew that the thief in the southeast country would fight when he encountered the enemy, and he would be on the front line in battle, facing the enemy's artillery fire, and his command was firm, and his courage was the sign of the founding king, who personally braved the artillery fire, regardless of safety, and only sought victory!
Zhu Youlang, 'timid and slight', the golden mean!
Some people regret it in their hearts, and some people are thinking about the idea of "three family slaves", if Zhu Youlang is sold, it should still be valuable, and he can be pardoned by the Southeast Army!
There are not a few people who think like this, and unconsciously, their eyes looking at Zhu Youlang are no longer kind.
Even a few people looked at him like this, and found each other's gazes, but everyone avoided them after touching them lightly.
"Yes, if you have the opportunity, you will start, otherwise you will give others the first place!" They were thinking about it.
Of course, some people don't think so, if Zhao Qingcai, the chief soldier of the puppet Guangdong Naval Division, sees Zhu Youlang's timid appearance on the shore, he is afraid that he will have to think differently, but he is on the ship, and he has no choice but to fight hard.
Zhao Qingcai, the former general of the Guangdong Navy Division, and Cui Yusheng, the deputy general, did not participate in the Huanghuagang meeting and escaped the bomb attack.
It's a pity that the position of this general soldier Zhao has not been hot for a day, and the battleships of the Southeast Army have been killed, which shatters his dream of promotion.
He shouted at his subordinates to come forward to fight, and when he saw the high and fierce firepower of the enemy ships, the sailors were afraid to fight.
Zhao Qingcai was furious and shouted: "Death is death!" ”
He sent an order to the ships: "Even if we submit to King Gui, we can only fight to the death, fight for a wife and cute son, and if you want to surrender, think about whether people want you!" ”
The officers and men of the naval divisions of the ships had no choice but to fight hard, and now in the hands of Zhao Qingcai there were more than 100 ships, one-third of which were gunboats and two-thirds were fireboats.
Once the battle is unfavorable, the fireship will not hesitate to set itself on fire, and the Dutch battleship, which is held by the hook, will not be able to break free, and will only watch the fire spread to itself.
As long as you burn a big enemy ship, you will earn it.
The officers and men of the rebel ship drove over hard, and General Zhao found that the ideal was very plump, the reality was very skinny, and the firepower of the big ship was so fierce that it couldn't even touch their edges!
There were 18 6-pounder guns on the open deck of the three battleships of the Yellow River class, and they were fast and condescending, and they all used shotguns to bombard the incoming enemy ships.
When the shotgun was penetrated, and when it formed a T-shape, it went down, and the whole ship was within the killing range, and the rebel sailors screamed incessantly.
Seeing that the enemy ships were approaching, the battleships mostly fired with 1-pounder cannons mounted on the universal joints, and fired at the platoons, so that the rebel sailors could not raise their heads, and then the southeastern army calmly threw bombs at them.
Iron nails and steel balls flying, bloody rebel ships!
It was very difficult for the rebels to return the favor, and they were beaten as soon as they showed their heads, and the southeastern army beat them with muskets so that they were powerless.
A rebel with a lit black powder bomb wanted to throw it, as soon as he stood up, he immediately opened several blood holes in his body, and was waiting for the musket to call him out, as soon as his hand was released, there was a loud bang, and the bomb exploded on his own warship, blowing him up and falling into the water!
Not to mention the main artillery of the southeast ship, the platoon of artillery fired, one after another the rebel ships were bombarded, and the sailors who fell into the water cried out miserably, full of devastation and miserable.
The guns and guns of the southeast ship were extremely fierce, the officers and men were in full swing, and the minor injuries would never get out of the line of fire, everyone was desperately trying to strengthen their own firepower, even the cooks, carpenters, boiler workers, etc. on the ship were shooting, anyway, they were shooting everything they could at the rebels, and the labor and management smashed the to help kill the brothers!
Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, just a temporary battle, and the opportunity is rare, so why not fight.
The Southeast Army was happy when they heard the war, they were invincible, everyone was highly conscious, and even the political officers were lazy.
Their task is to supervise the battle and encourage morale, such as shouting "fight for the leader" or something when the sailors are slacking off, to boost morale, or to scold a few words to stimulate the nerves of the sailors.
Now everyone is frantically going to war, so what's the point of urging!
The rebels were miserable, they encountered the southeastern army like a madman, and the firepower suppressed them to the fullest, and their ships were destroyed, as for the rebels' gunboats, they were at most 6-pounder guns, and the firepower was weak and not counted, and the fighting was slow, like tickling the battleship.
Zhao Qingcai saw the fire, grabbed the gunner's position, and fired three cannons in a row, all of which hit the opponent's battleship.
Exactly, but what is the reaction?
Nothing!
The other party's big ship did not move at all, and he couldn't help but be discouraged for a while, and he was even more at a loss: how can this battle be fought!
The main general is still like this, not to mention his subordinates, there are more foreign workers, and there are fewer ships that have the courage to attack.
Turbulence!
The ships of the rebel fleet gathered in the White Goose Pond were like frightened beehives, frantically sailing in all directions, upstream.
Run, run fast in the world, and those who fall behind will suffer!
The reinforcements of the Southeast Fleet arrived, and one by one the cruisers, that is, small gunboats, which were used for both sails and oars, entered the White Goose Pond.
They shoot and shoot, so imposing!
The key is that more than a dozen of them rushed in, the momentum was unmatched, and the fighting will of the officers and men of the rebel ships collapsed, they could not defeat the three major ships that were like tigers before, and a group of wolves came, how could they fight!
Pull the sails and oars one after another, and run away!
The ships fled and became a mess, and the chief soldier Zhao Qingcai was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but how could he stop the defeat.
Fighting on the water is more difficult than fighting on land, and you can also set up a team of warlords with ghost head knives in the rear on land, and whoever runs will cut whomever you run.
But on the water, you can't control them at all, even if you want to cut them, you have to drive the boat over, and if you have this time, it's better to run away.
There were all fleeing ships next to him, and Zhao Qingcai could only sigh, let's run.
He still has professional ethics, and the command ship drove to the dock on the shore to pick up Zhu Youlang, and His Royal Highness King Gui, who thought he was "today's bright", was in a hurry.
What to do?
What am I going to do?
Hop on board and escape immediately? However, how could the troops he scattered into Guangzhou City suddenly gather back and leave them behind, he would become a bare-bones commander, and how could he rebel.
Zhao Qingcai saw that he was still hesitant, and said anxiously: "Things are not harmonious, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”
and everyone ripped Zhu Youlang off the boat, Zhu Youlang couldn't help himself, and calmed down, and the ship had already gone offshore.
His eyes were dull, looking back at the city of Guangzhou where the pillar of smoke was high, like a dream of Nanke.
I woke up in tears!
