More than 100 warships went back and forth five times, and carried out ten rounds of artillery bombardment, and the overwhelming shells that smashed through the city collapsed a section of the city wall, and the city gate tower was also bombarded and collapsed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Qing troops in the city had no intention of resisting at all, and they raised white flags one after another and surrendered to the Ming army. Hezhou and county ordered suicide, and the lord Bo, the inspector and others took the officials, white servants and Minzhuang, and surrendered in Kaicheng.

The Zhejiang army of 2,000 people landed and took over the county seat. After the Zhejiang army entered the city, it announced the order to change clothes and store clothes. As for the braids, they can be cut off, leaving only a big bald head, or they can be broken up and draped on the back of their heads, as long as there is no ugly braid, the Ming army will not care. But maybe the common people think that the little money rattail is scattered, so a few strands of hair are too ugly to put on the back of their heads, and almost everyone chooses to cut off the braids.

As for order in the city, the post of county commander was temporarily replaced by the chief secretary.

The Ming army did not stay in Hexian for a long time, only stayed for one night, and the next morning boarded the ship and continued to swim upstream.

Along the way, Luzhou, Wuwei, Chaoxian, Lujiang, and Hanshan were all let go, and the Ming army did not send soldiers and horses to land to occupy the county seat, because it doesn't matter whether these counties are fought or not, as long as Anqing takes it, these counties will basically open the city gate and surrender by themselves, even if they refuse to surrender, they can't support a few hours to break the city. Even if it is a big city like Luzhou, if Anqing is breached, Luzhou City will be fish and meat on the chopping board of the Ming army, and it will be slaughtered at will.

The Ming army went all the way up the Yangtze River, and along the way, the cities on the south bank were already in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the north was still under the rule of the Qing court.

Zhang Huangyan stood on the deck of the battleship Nanjing, overlooking the north of the Yangtze River, only to see a green rice field on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and many people stood curiously on the embankment, looking at the large fleet sailing on the river.

"Jiangnan has returned to my Ming Dynasty, but Jiangbei is still in the hands of the Tartars!" Zhang Huangyan sighed.

Zhang Yukun said with a smile: "Zhang Shangshu doesn't have to worry, as long as Anqing takes it, the cities in Jiangbei will be self-defeating!" The city is broken, and the squire and villagers are not all submissive to my Daming? ”

On the embankment, a large group of children stood on the embankment, all of whom were young children, very interested in new things. A child looked at the huge ship sailing by on the river and clapped his hands: "What a big ship!" ”

"It's huge! It's a lot bigger than our fishing boat! A larger boy said.

Another child smiled and said, "What about your boat and theirs?" It's a ship for war! ”

"Why are there so many white squares on the ship?" A child pointed to the boat and asked curiously.

A boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old said: "That's the cannon door, and there are all cannons in there!" ”

"How many cannons are there!" Several of the older children were amazed.

Zhang Huangyan, who was standing on the battleship Nanjing, of course couldn't hear the conversations of these children, but he saw that there were many children on the shore looking excitedly at his fleet, and he also thought it was very interesting, after all, it was a group of children, and they were curious, and they didn't know how they felt when they saw such a big battleship.

On the upper river, several Qing army boats saw the Ming warship from a distance, so they turned around and fled, they didn't dare to get close to take a closer look, they knew that the Ming army had a kind of boat that ran like flying, and the speed was simply faster than that of a bird, and their own fast boat couldn't run that kind of boat at all. There were many Qing army clippers who wanted to take a closer look, but they were all captured by the Ming army.

The small boat of the Qing army rushed just to the camp of the Anqing Navy Division, and reported to Shi Lang, the commander of the Qing Army's Navy Division: "Marshal, the big thing is not good!" Thousands of warships of thieves downstream are swimming against the current! It's all Tessie's Megaship! Those ships are bigger than mountains! On a boat, I'm afraid there are hundreds of cannons! ”

The Qing army's fast sentry ship that fled back downstream had just reported the situation, and another fast sentry ship upstream came back to report to Shi Lang: "Big marshal, something is wrong!" Thousands of warships of upstream thieves are going down the river! It's coming to us Anqing! ”

Soon after, someone came to report: "Qiqi Marshal, Minggou sent a small boat to send a letter, saying that the 180,000 army is about to attack Anqing, and the marshal please take a look." ”

Shi Lang took the letter, opened it, and saw that the letter read: Our army's 180,000 army attacked Anqing, if General Shi can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it is still too late to turn back, we can ignore the mistakes that General Shi made before. But if General Shi is still obsessed, then if he goes to the north in the future, our army will definitely not spare General Shi! Today's battle of Anqing was the last time General Shi led the naval division to fight. If General Shi is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, there will be a sailor for General Shi to lead in the future!

It has been said in the letter that this battle will be the last battle of the Qing army's water division, and from then on the Qing court will have no water division, if Shi Lang is defeated, the Qing army's water division, which has no way out, will be wiped out, Shi Lang will go ashore, and he can only be the general of the land division, and whether the Qing court will let Shi Lang go is still a question.

But the matter has come to this, is there still a way out for Shi Lang?

"The thief wrote a letter claiming to be 180,000, I'm afraid it's only 50,000 at most, right? But it's not right, there are so many warships, and the sailors are almost 50,000, could it be that the fast sentry ship lied about the military situation? Shi Lang said to himself. He didn't know that the Qiongzhou Army would never use the title, and there were as many soldiers and horses as there were.

There were 110,000 Ming troops in the upper reaches, and 70,000 Ming troops in the lower reaches, a total of 180,000 troops, which was not bad at all as the letter said.

Shi Lang thought in his heart: My wife and son are all in the capital, if they surrender, what will they do? What's more, if I surrender to the Qiongzhou army, Wang is willing to let me go, but the Zheng family will definitely not let me go! This still can't be surrendered!

With the sailor in his own hands, he must not be able to block the attack of the Ming army, the difference in strength is too great, no matter what conspiracy and tricks are used, he will not succeed. The most important thing now is that after the defeat of the sailors of the imperial court, going ashore to become a general of the land division, even if he is dismissed and returning to the capital, is a better result, and the most feared thing is that the imperial court will be guilty, and whether the head on his neck can be kept is still a question.

"Maybe you can fight it again?" Shi Lang said to himself in his heart.

Shi Lang recalled that his father Shi Daxuan once wanted to describe the Battle of Liuluo Bay, when Zheng Zhilong's sailors used a plum blossom formation, with large gunboats in the middle, to attack the Dutch fleet with fire attack ships, and finally won the victory.

Just when Shi Lang was thinking hard about countermeasures, someone outside came to report: "Dashuai, Prince An wants to see you." ”

Although Yue Le has been directly demoted from the prince to Beizi by the holy decree of the wise and martial Kang Mazi, Shi Lang's personal soldiers still respectfully call him Prince An.

Hearing that Yue Le wanted to see him, Shi Lang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly left the sailor camp, returned to the city, and went to the Chinese army camp to see Yue Le.
