At the same time that Li Laiheng coerced the people to attack the city, Wu Sangui also began the battle of crossing the river. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Sangui also had people in the loyalty camp, and Li Laiheng and Hao Shaoqi coerced the people to attack the city, and when they began to coerce the people from the surrounding villages, the news was sent out by Wu Sangui's people. When Baoji was attacked by Li Laiheng, Wu Sangui had just learned the news that Li Laiheng was holding the people hostage.

"Carrying the people into attacking the city? Hum! A thief is a thief! Dogs can't change eating! Wu Sangui sneered, "Although the old man has joined the Tartars, he has not harmed the people!" The thieves used this trick back then, and how many people were harmed! ”

Xia Guoxiang said: "Dashuai, now those people have left money rat tails, paid taxes to the Tartars as soldiers, and it is understandable that the thieves will harm them." ”

Wu Sangui snorted: "The old man raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, just to let the people get rid of the money rat tail and restore my Ming mantle, the behavior of the thief is not as good as a Tartar!" ”

While he was talking, Lin Xingzhu came up, knelt on one knee, and bowed: "Qiqi is handsome!" The end is ready! When can I launch an attack? ”

"Half an hour in another hour!" Wu Sangui said.

Half an hour later, the gongs and drums in the camp of the Wu army were noisy, the flags were unfurled, and the Wu army began the battle of crossing the river. With the sound of rumbling drums, the Wu army's improvised warships, rafts, boats, and bamboo rafts rushed out of the water and entered the Yellow River.

In the camp of the Qing army, Bahai was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army looking at the map, and there was a hurried break outside: "Marshal, something is wrong!" Wu Dog has started to cross the river! Lots of ships! Wu Gou has a lot of warships! ”

"Wu Dog Warship?" Ba Hai was taken aback, "Where did Wu Gou get the warship?" How could Wu Sangui's old thief have a water master? Let's go out and have a look! ”

Bahai took the Qing army generals such as Sabusu, Leerjin, and Heta out of the middle camp and came to a tower by the river. Several Qing army generals climbed the high platform, picked up binoculars, and looked into the river. I saw that the black pressure of the Wu Junshui Division appeared from the upper reaches of the Yellow River as if it had suddenly appeared.

"Why didn't our army scouts find Wu Dog training sailors?" Sabusu asked angrily.

Le Erjin, who was responsible for spying on intelligence, was originally a wine bag and rice bag, and Lin Xingzhu, the chief general of the Wu Army's water division, trained the water division, and it was in the upper reaches of the river, which was still some distance away from the Yellow River, and there was the elite protection of the Wu army nearby, so it was difficult for the Qing army spies to get close, especially because of the shaving order, it was difficult for people with money rat tails to approach the upper reaches of the Xushui River. Because of strict secrecy, Wu Sangui actually concealed such a big thing as training sailors from Bahai.

Naturally, Bahai had long expected that Wu Sangui would definitely build boats and rafts to cross the river, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Sangui actually pulled out a sailor! It is a sailor who can fight, but it is not a temporary boat used to cross the river.

"Wu Dog Water Master? Hum! Ba Hai snorted coldly, "Wu Gou's temporary leased sailor, can he beat my Da Qingshui master?" It's just a matter of sending them to death! ”

The guerrillas of the Shandong Navy of the Qing Army stepped forward and saluted: "Please rest assured! Wu Dog Sailor is killing himself! ”

The scale of the Shandong Naval Division was not large, the largest was only a guerrilla general, and the main warships were 13 sand boats, 25 river boats, and more than 100 small sampans. Although the Shandong Navy Division had three water boats and ten boats, these big ships could not enter the Yellow River, so they could not come to the river in the Luoyang area, and the main warships of the Qing army were sand boats with shallow draft.

Although the draft of the sand boat is shallow, it is also a regular warship, and even the small sampan of the Qing army is a formal warship. On the other hand, the ships of the Wu Army's sailors, except for more than a dozen large paddle boats and more than 30 sampans, were all bamboo rafts and rafts, not even real boats.

"This is Wu Dog Water Master? Hahaha! The Qing army sailors laughed, "Brothers, go!" Wu Dog just has to cross the river on a raft! We block them! ”

The small sampan of the Qing army rushed towards the raft and bamboo row of the Wu army, followed by thirteen sand boats. Seeing those rafts that seemed to be made into cages floating on the water, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's naval division laughed: "Even these shoddy rafts, dare to come to fight a water battle with our army?" It's self-defeating! ”

"Behold, does the raft of the Wu dog look like a cage?" The Qing guerrillas laughed breathlessly.

Wu Jun's raft looks like a cage from a distance, and there are wooden fences around the raft, which looks like a cage floating on the water. It's just that the top of this cage is not sealed, and the wooden fence is not high, and there are wooden planks in it, so the officers and soldiers of the Wu Army Naval Division in the raft can jump over from the top of the wooden fence and jump into the Qing army warship to jump into the gang to fight. The function of the wooden fence is mainly used to defend against attacks and projectiles.

The small sampan of the Qing army approached the rafts of the Wu army, and it was only then that the Qing army realized that these rafts were very large, much larger than their own small sampans! The Wu sailors on the raft supported the boat, went down the river, and crashed into the small sampan of the Qing army.

"Hurry up and release the arrows!" A Qing army sailor shouted.

The Qing soldiers on the small sampan stretched out their bows and arrows, and rows of arrows flew away. However, I saw that most of the arrows were tied to the wooden fence, and some of the arrows passed through the gaps in the wooden fence, but they were blocked by the canvas.

The hanging arrows fell, and they were also blocked by the canvas hanging above the wooden fence.

Most of the Wu army rafts did not have archers on them, because the rafts were poorly waterproof, and the bowstring would become soft when exposed to water and lose its effectiveness. Only a few specially made rafts had archers on them, and those rafts were much higher at the bottom and sealed with planks at the bottom to prevent the river from entering and wetting the bowstrings.

"It's going to crash! Get out of the way! Seeing that the Wu army's raft was unscathed and continued to crash towards him, the Qing army on the small sampan hurriedly dodged.

"Boom" a small sampan of the Qing army was hit by the raft of the Wu army, and the small sampan was immediately knocked to the bottom, and the Qing soldiers on the boat fell into the water one after another.

Immediately afterwards, a small sampan of the Qing army was hit by the raft of the Wu army, and was hit like a spinning top on the water. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a small boat of the Wu army rushed up, and more than a dozen sailors and soldiers of the Wu army who were born as water bandits jumped on the small sampan of the Qing army, and chopped all the Qing soldiers to death with a burst of chopping melons and vegetables.

One after another, the rafts of the Wu army rushed up, and some of the small sampans of the Qing army were directly sunk, and some of the rafts were close to the small sampans of the Qing army, and the officers and men of the Wu army's sailors on the rafts jumped on the small sampans of the Qing army one after another, and started a fierce battle with the Qing soldiers.

Just when the Wu army's raft and the Qing army's small sampan started a gang jump, the Wu army's improvised warship also rushed out and rushed up to the Qing army's sand boat. At this time, several Qing army sand boats were firing at the raft of the Wu army, and one raft was hit by a cannonball, shattering the surrounding wooden fence and flying flesh and blood on the boat.

"Boom" Wu Jun, the Franc cannon on the bow of an improvised warship spit out a ball of fire.
