The Yangtze River is east-west in the upper reaches of Tongling, a sharp turn has become a north-south direction in the south of Tongling City for more than ten miles, and there are tributaries in the middle of several Jiangxinzhou at this big turn, and Baiwang's sailors and fishing boats docked on the north bank of the tributary, that is, after the position of the thief army, it is safest to hide here, and the position is far away from the attack range of officers and soldiers across the mountains and water.

At this time, most of the hundreds of sailors were lying in the shade of the trees on the riverside, and the confrontation between the two armies in front seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"Hey, do you think the officers and soldiers will really fight today?"

"Hey, the thunder and rain are the same as yesterday, and it doesn't matter if they fight or not......"

While the sailors were talking, Bai Wang's military order arrived, ordering him to immediately go down the river to the north of Tongling City to attack the officer and soldier fleet.

Hey, have the officers and soldiers got the fleet again, the thieves laughed and boarded the ship: "I got a batch of empty ships last time, I hope to have an unexpected harvest this time, it would be wonderful to get some grain, grass or gold, silver and jewelry......

Then the fleet slowly sailed out of the tributary into the main stream of the river, towards the north of the river and rushed downstream, looking at the north of the river, you can vaguely see the dense ships going back and forth on the river, the face of the thief army has become so relaxed, they are transporting troops!

"What's wrong with transporting troops, the officers and soldiers are all from the north and there is no water, let's go straight down the river again, and we will knock them apart, don't think about doing so much and they will be finished......" The leader shouted to reassure the soldiers, and sure enough, the morale returned to the original state in a blink of an eye.

Recently, there has been a lot of rain, the river is surging, the water is turbulent, and the thief army is also going down the river at an extremely fast speed, thinking that rushing directly at this speed will inevitably crush the fleet of officers and soldiers, so that the morale has skyrocketed, and even the officers and soldiers on the east bank who are confronting the thief army are swearing foul language!

Ma Ke led his troops on the riverside, and when he saw the thieves and sailors passing by the bow, they shot it, but the distance was a little farther away and was mostly dodged by him, and some of his subordinates were worried: "The thief army is going down the river and is only afraid that it will be detrimental to the Shenji Battalion......"

"Yes" The corners of Ma Ke's mouth were raised, and he looked at the thief army in the river and sneered: "The Shenji Battalion is all landlubbers, but they are all fire blowers, who will cry for a while and call for a mother I don't know, and also, we only care about things here, and it is not our turn to worry about it over there."

The thief army had more than 100 boats and more than 500 boats, and the fishing boats on the river west of Tongling City were transporting back and forth, and the Shenji Battalion seemed to be unaware of the danger that was quietly coming.

There is also a huge Jiangxinzhou on the river surface in the northwest of Tongling City, and there are several fishing villages on it, if there is no war, it will be like a peach blossom source.

However, at this time, the fishermen and fishing boats on the island were requisitioned by officers and soldiers, and the island also became a transit point, because the river was turbulent and crossed, and it would always be washed downstream and deviate from the course.

Nearly 100 people gathered at the southernmost tip of the island, including Wu Weiying, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Chang Yu, who no one would have imagined to appear here, the two of them held a clairvoyant mirror side by side at this time, looking at the face of the Zhengnan River, and the smile on the corner of their mouths became stronger and stronger: "Here it is!" ”

With Chang Yu's prudence, how could he not leave a back hand to guard against the surprise attack of the thief army, when Wu Weiying arrived on the opposite bank, he sent people to order him to prepare for defense, and ambushed fifty tiger squat cannons on the upstream side of the ferry, and then first crossed a group of gunners to ambush dozens of guns on the east bank, and set up fifty gates at the southernmost end of Jiangxinzhou, and the general waited for the thief army for a long time, sure enough, after Bai Wang found out about the situation here, he did not hesitate to let the sailors come to send him to death.

However, the momentum of the thief army did not know that they were running towards the Ghost Gate, the speed of the straight river was so fast that the arrow of the bow was in and out, and the waterway of more than ten miles was in the blink of an eye, and when they saw that there were still two or three miles away from the heart, the boats were lined up horizontally all over the river and rushed over at the acceleration, and the sailors on the boat each opened their bows and aimed at the front and both sides of the river, and they did not hesitate to kill when they entered the range.

"It's close, it's close, there's still two miles of land, and there are ......" There was a loud bang, and one of the thieves on the boat had not yet come back to his senses, and the explosion was endless, and he saw cannonballs flying all over the sky like rain, and the fishing boats around him were either smashed into a big hole or directly overturned, and some people were directly smashed into meat or blown up and rolled into the river screaming, and disappeared in a blink of an eye......

Nearly 100 boats gathered on the river to such a large target was surrounded on three sides by hundreds of large and small artillery bombardment, the consequences can be imagined, at the beginning of the bombardment, many thieves were confused, and when they reacted to the fishing boats had been damaged, they frantically wanted to turn around and escape, but the current was turbulent and wanted to turn around, how could it be so easy, and some were directly loaded on Jiang Xinzhou, at this time, the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion who were waiting on the shore rushed up and shot them in a row as if they were shooting criminals.

"It's over, it's over!" Bai Wang, who was watching the battle on the mountain, heard the sound of cannons faintly in the distance, held up the clairvoyant mirror to take a look, and immediately beat his chest, shocked and angry.

It wasn't that he was distressed to lose hundreds of people at once, but he was really sure that it was the Shenji Battalion that came, which made him feel panicked!

The imperial court is really willing to pay for it, and even the Shenji Battalion was sent out in order to suppress him.

More than 100 artillery pieces on the shore bombarded in turn, and more than half of the 100 boats of the thief army were sunk in a blink of an eye, and the rest were either rushed to Jiangxinzhou and shot by the Shenji battalion, or they were stopped downstream and rushed up to slash and kill, and the sailors sent by Bai Wang could be said to be wiped out in just half an hour.

Chang Yu, who was watching the battle on Jiang Xinzhou, couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, and he also avenged the thief's burning of the house last night, and said to Wu Weiying: "It's still the Hou Ye, who has made a great contribution just here!"

Wu Weiying's mouth couldn't close when she smiled, and she grabbed Chang Yu's hand and kept shaking: "Or that the old man loves to fight with Chang Gonggong the most" Look at his strength, Chang Yu feels that he is more like a eunuch than himself, and he is still a rabbit eunuch!

After thousands of people from the Shenji Battalion crossed the river with horses and artillery, it was already after noon, Chang Yu welcomed them into the city, and soon Wu Sangui and Ma Ke also withdrew their troops back to the city.

The officers and soldiers were cool, but Bai Wang was so angry that he wanted to go crazy, and after the officers and soldiers left, he summoned Wang Yien and Yuan Sanzhong to discuss how to deal with the officers and soldiers' Shenji Battalion.

"Wen Shenji Battalion has three or four hundred tiger squatting artillery, the best at mountain field warfare, if the officers and soldiers attack under their cover, although our position is dangerous, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop them" Yuan Sanzhong's face was gloomy, and he had just learned that the sailors had been completely annihilated, and his heart was extremely heavy.

"Isn't it artillery, although we don't have as many as theirs, the range is long and powerful, and it can hit the head of Tongling City when it is pulled to this mountain, who is afraid of whom" Wang Yien scolded and scolded: "When Ming'er's artillery arrives, it will be pulled to the past overnight to bombard the city, and then kill him first!" ”

This is not a full mouth to run the train, the thief army really got two red-coated cannons on the way, in terms of range and power, the tiger squat cannon is really a scum, although it is only two, but it has a certain deterrent effect.

"Tomorrow, when reinforcements arrive, attack the city at night!" Bai Wang's eyes showed a fierce light: "If you lose the opportunity and be passive step by step, we can't consume the eunuch if we continue like this."

"Dashuai, look over there" At this moment, the thief army in charge of guarding next to him pointed in the direction of Tongling City and shouted, Bai Wang frowned, got up and looked at his face, immediately sank, raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked again, and couldn't help but say in unison: "!" ”

It is definitely a big thing that can make several people go together, such as another wave of reinforcements from officers and soldiers.

Bai Wang and the others looked at it and saw that countless soldiers and horses were faintly visible in the north of Tongling City, stretching for more than ten miles, and it was estimated that there were at least tens of thousands, which made them not be surprised.

There are already tens of thousands of people going to Anqing on the west road, and there are reinforcements one after another, how can the officers and soldiers have so many troops, at this time, Bai Wang began to suspect that the 200,000 troops claimed by the officers and soldiers were not groundless.

"With this group of officers and soldiers in Tongling City, there should be thirty or forty thousand people!" Yuan Sanzhong's breath trembled when he spoke, and Wang Yien, who had always been babbling, had a dark face but didn't speak.

Bai Wang's gaze looked around from the north to the southwest, and he let out a long sigh: "This will be a bloody battle, either they will lose the city, or we will retreat!" ”

"Can't wait! If we continue like this, we will have no power to fight back, even if we don't attack the city, we will give them a disadvantage! Wang Yien said viciously, Bai Wang glanced at him: "Do you have any ideas to come and see."

"First of all, immediately send someone to urge our reinforcements, so that they must arrive before noon tomorrow, and then we will ...... tonight" Wang Yien squatted on the ground and paddled, Bai Wang and Yuan Sanzhong bent down to listen.
