Chapter 609 Fighting for Male and Female, Zhenjiang Battle

On the river, the Qing soldiers continued the practice of landing on land, the green battalion soldiers took the boat in front, and the 500 banner soldiers supervised the battle in the rear.

The artillery fired at each other, the war drums were beaten, and the Qing warships were divided into three parts, in a trapezoidal formation, sailing against the current, there was no trickery, no bluff, it was completely a frontal assault, a duel between male and female.

Lu Jianguo is in a goose-shaped array, and the two No. 1 fortune ships are goose heads.

This formation may not be suitable for water warfare in later generations, because it emphasizes collision and is not as capable of exerting sidestring firepower as a single column, but the current water battle is not the era of decisive victory of naval artillery in later generations.

In the era of sail warships, before the large-scale equipment of flowering bombs, ramming angles and broadside battles were the real key, and in China, one more point was to attack and burn ships.

Lu Jianguo was not wealthy, and he was not blessed to the point that every warship was equipped with a broadside gun, except for a few dozen main warships, most of them were only equipped with one gun in the bow.

The Ming army marched in formation, and it was also indomitable, wanting to scuttle through the Qing army's warships and defeat its army in a battle.

Most of the heavy weapons placed on the bow of the Ming army were red-coat cannons, which made many achievements in the siege of the city, but in fact, when he was first introduced to the Ming Dynasty, it was actually a naval gun loaded on a warship.

Countless cannonballs fell from the sky, from falling into the river in front of the warship, gradually raising the water column, to smashing into the warship, sawdust flew and the mast broke.

Although the ship was smashed and the hull was seriously damaged, it was difficult for the shells to seriously injure the hull under the water, and the big ship would not capsize easily, which was also the reason why it was necessary to rely on ramming and broadside battles to win the victory.

Under the mutual fire of artillery, there were casualties among the warships of both armies, and the flagship of the Qing army was a No. 2 Fu ship, which was commanded by Liang Huafeng, a rare water combat talent in the Qing army.

He can be proficient in water warfare, but also thanks to the cultivation of the Ming army, in the Taihu War, he and his subordinates in the long-term education, gradually grow up to become talents, and finally succeeded in forcing the teacher to abandon the water village, break out to the sea.

"The geese march in formation, the head of the geese is strong, the wings are weak, hang the command flag, order the left wing to move closer to me, and the right wing will go forward and attack the flank of the sea coars!" Liang Huafeng stood at the bow of the ship, watching the battlefield with a clairvoyant mirror, giving orders, and looked like he had two brushes.

The order flag was hoisted, the shape of the Qing army's ship immediately changed, and the right-wing commander Guan was loyal, drew his sword in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Hang the sails and move forward at full speed." ”

The Qing army sailed against the current, relying on the wind to move forward, and the sailors on the ship immediately pulled up the sail rope and shouted the horn to pull hard, "Full sails, roar hey~"

Unlike Liang Huafeng's boat that shrank behind the forward, Lu Jianguo's boat was the head of the goose, rushing in front of the ships.

King Lu pressed the sword in his hand, stood under the Chinese umbrella and Daxu, the warship rushed to the front, the cannonballs ate the most, most of the guardrails on the ship had been damaged, a team of swords and shields formed a shield wall, standing in front of King Lu.

Zhang Huangyan saw that the two armies were gradually approaching, and the shells were becoming more and more dense, and this shield wall could not stop the iron bullets, so he was a little worried, stepped forward, and said: "Your Highness, it is too dangerous here, please move to the cabin!" ”

Zhu Yihai's face was resolute, looking at the oncoming Qing ship from afar, he was no longer the vassal king of a few years ago, the cannonballs passed by, and he didn't blink his eyes.

"Drive out the Tartars, restore my Ming Dynasty, although hundreds of schools are working hard, but the lonely person surnamed Zhu, the Divine Sect is in the same lineage, and it is the responsibility of the world, and it should be the first in the world." Zhu Yihai turned his head and said: "Aiqing, I see that the left flank of the captive ship is moving closer to the Chinese army, obviously trying to thicken the Chinese army, block the head of our army, and then outflank the right flank." Aiqing thinks that among the sailors, what ship is the strongest and can break through the captives? ”

"Naturally, it is the largest and strongest ship of His Highness." Zhang Huangyan replied.

Zhu Yihai nodded, his eyes were burning with the flames of war, and he said confidently: "The key to this battle is to move forward, the head of the goose hits the captive ship, and the lonely can't kill the enemy with a knife, but standing here, the whole army can be seen." Lone is not afraid of death, and hits the captive flagship directly with a ship, and the soldiers will inevitably rise up, and the captives will not be opponents, and Lone will be broken. ”

After Zhang Huangyan listened, he glanced at several civil officials around him, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, the emotional point has been in tears, the times have created heroes, they have survived the stubborn and suspicious Yizong, the enemy fled, the unresponsible Anzong, the spineless, the city surrendered to the King of Lu, and finally waited for the Ming Lord who grew up in the war and sharpened out.

Although Zhang Huangyan felt that Lu Jianguo did not have to take risks personally, he could only compromise when he saw that Jianguo was resolute.

At this time, he and all the ministers spoke in unison, saluted and said solemnly: "The ministers are only the leaders of His Highness, and they will rush into the battle together." ”

"Hang the flag!" Zhu Yihai was very pleased, his heart was excited, and he calmly ordered: "Summons Zhang Mingzhen, prepare the rocket, and shoot the sail first." ”

On the Daifuku ship, the huge royal flag embroidered with gold edges is hung on the mast, which is the symbol of the king of Lu, directly facing the captive ship, the flag is in the country of Lu Jian, and the army is undefeated.

The Ming army marched noisily, with a momentum like a rainbow.

The right-wing Qing boat on the river, which was in charge of allegiance, had already braved artillery fire at this time, broke into a position parallel to the head of the Ming army, and came to the side of the head of the goose.

The main battleships of the Ming army equipped with side guns are all above the word "man", which is convenient for the big ship to crash into the captive ship for a while, and then it can be strangled with artillery, and the captive ship that has been knocked away can give full play to the side firepower.

Guan allegiance went to the side first, and the side guns, which had not fired, finally had a chance to make a contribution.

"Port gun, put!" On the Ming warship, the general waved his arms vigorously.

The side fire suddenly burst into unison, nearly 100 guns, at the same time spewed out a rain of bullets, the sound of the cannon was deafening, the muzzle of the black hole was like firing artillery, one after another, the side of the ship was filled with smoke, the scene was magnificent.

The cannon fired directly, the hull of the ship vibrate, the iron bullet flew against the surface of the river, and smashed into the captive ship at great speed, and at the same time, a burst of green smoke rose from the muzzle of the black hole on the side of the captive ship, and the cannonball flew out of the firelight, intertwined with the Ming artillery shells and attacked the Ming ship.

The strong recoil of the gun, after each shot, the gun body sticking out of the muzzle was shocked and withdrawn a long way.

"Reload, reset, release."

In the rumbling, the soldiers hurriedly cleaned the muzzle, loaded the ammunition, and several people worked together to push the cannon fixed with iron chains back, but before the soldiers could quickly ignite, an iron bullet smashed over, the side of the ship was smashed to pieces, sawdust flew away, the soldier was injured, and the cannon was also smashed.

"The enemy is nearly two hundred paces!"

"Divine Fire Flying Duck! Put! ”

"Rocket, let's go!"

The flank of the Ming army, the right flank of the capture ship in front of it, has reached the distance of bows and arrows and birds, and the firearms in the Ming warships are fired in unison.

Countless rockets and flying ducks with their tails blazing in the air, scurrying wildly into the air, shot onto the sails of the captive ship, and suddenly the fire was filled with smoke and dust.

Almost in time, among the captured ships, seventy or eighty red dragon boats rushed, the ships were full of sails, and the soldiers rushed towards the Ming army with oars.
