Fireworks and rockets lit up the river, where boats were rowing hard, and Qing soldiers on rafts and bamboo rafts were exposed to the light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The Tartars have crossed the river!"

"We've found the Tartar!"

Red lanterns representing the signal of the night attack were hung on the Ming warships, and the sailors rushed towards the small boats, rafts and bamboo rafts of the Qing army.

"Fire!" The officers on the Ming warships gave the order.

With the help of the bright light of the fireworks, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Qing army boat a hundred steps away, and with the roar of the artillery, the gun muzzle spewed fire, and the dense shotgun flew out and scattered it on the river to the Qing army boat and raft.

Shotguns flew sideways in all directions, and the Qing army's boats, rafts, and bamboo rafts on the fan-shaped scattered surface immediately rose up with a mass of flesh and blood, and the Qing soldiers on the boat fell into the water one after another.

The second Ming army also killed the vehicle, which fired a rocket and illuminated the river. Then the gun, loaded with shotguns, erupted in flames, and swept away a large area of Qing army boats and rafts.

"Hurry up and light the torches! Tell the Ming army that we are going to surrender! On a small boat of the Qing army, the chief of the Qing army shouted anxiously.

The Qing soldiers on the small boat lit the torches, and the Ming army vehicles and boats with lanterns hung on the river, the Qing soldiers on the small boat desperately shook the torches and signaled surrender.

A rocket was fired again in front of the "whoosh", illuminating the river. Then the fire flashed on the ship, and the shotguns fired in turn slashed their heads and covered their faces, and splashed at the small boats and rafts of the Qing army on the river.

"Why did they beat us when we surrendered?" With the help of the light of the fire, the commander of the Qing army saw with his own eyes that the small boats in front of him were swept away by the shotguns, and let out a desperate cry.

There were Qing soldiers on this small boat shouting at the other boats: "Shoot the torches!" Surrender to the Ming army! ”

After receiving the reminder, many small boats and rafts of the Qing army fired torches one after another, waving at the Ming warships, and signaling their willingness to surrender.

Some of the small boats, unwilling to surrender, turned their bows in the darkness and rowed upstream. There were also some stubborn Qing troops, rowing boats and rafts, launched a moth-like charge, as a result, no one was able to get close to the Ming warship, a row of shotguns swept across the river, and the personnel on the Qing army boat that launched a suicide charge were swept away.

There was chaos on the river, some Qing soldiers gave a surrender signal, and some fled upstream. The Qing army in the back was also in chaos, some began to flee upstream or downstream, some turned the bow of the ship and rowed in the direction of Fancheng, and some were ready to surrender, lit torches in advance, and drove the boat towards the Ming army.

In the chaos, there were constantly collisions between the ships and rafts of the Qing army, and countless Qing soldiers fell into the water, floating and sinking in the river, desperately struggling.

"It's over! It's all messed up! There's no way to get past it! Gong Rong, who was standing on a big boat, sighed.

"General Gong! Why did all your people surrender to Minggou? Finding that the situation in front was wrong, Zhou Youde pointed at Gong Rong and reprimanded loudly.

"Zhou Futai, the brothers can't help it! The hard rush was in vain, and they had no choice but to surrender. But their surrender is their business, and they will not surrender to Minggou! Gong Rong replied calmly.

"General Gong! It's all because you don't govern the army strictly! That's what makes your people surrender to Minggou! The old man must go back alive! I will refer to you to the court! Zhou Youde scolded and said, after speaking, he turned his head and ordered the sailors on the ship: "Turn the bow of the ship and row upstream!" I can't get over it! ”

Listening to what Zhou Youde said, Gong Rong was frightened: If this old thief escaped to Xiangyang, and he went to the imperial court to participate in the general's book, I am afraid that it will be a trivial matter for a certain head to fall, but I am afraid that his family will be sent to Ningguta! No, we can't let this old thief live! Just don't do it, cut off the head of this old thief, and dedicate it to the Ming army!

Thinking of this, Gong Rong suddenly shouted: "Someone! Take down Zhou Youde's old thief! ”

"Wow!" Several pro-soldiers jumped out in response and rushed towards Zhou Youde.

Hearing Gong Rong's shout, Zhou Youde was taken aback, but several of his Goshha moved quite quickly, and when they heard the sound, they pulled out their knives and stopped Gong Rong's personal soldiers who rushed over.

In terms of personal combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Goshha is greater than that of the Green Battalion general's personal soldiers, and Goshha is actually a personal soldier, but he is just a personal soldier of the Eight Banners Army, and it is generally a person with high martial arts skills who can serve as a person, and naturally his personal combat effectiveness is far greater than that of the Green Battalion general's personal soldiers.

As soon as the two sides fought, Gong Rong's soldiers knew that they were not Goshha's opponents, and the eight soldiers fought and retreated.

"Gong Rong! You've really rebelled! Zhou Youde sneered and said, "Fortunately, the old man has been prepared!" Otherwise, the old man's head will be taken by you to give Minggou as a vote! ”

"Brethren! Hurry up! Gong Rong shouted.

The officers and sailors on the ship of the Chinese army commander were all Gong Rong's men, and when they heard the shouting, several officers and sailors rushed to join the battle group brandishing their weapons. However, those Goshha are indeed quite powerful, not only are they strong in martial arts, but they also know how to fight in a formation of six people, so that Gong Rong's soldiers can't get close for a while. In the fierce battle, three sailors under Gong Rong's command, one officer and one personal soldier were killed, but six Goshha were unscathed.

A burst of muskets rang out from the ship, and several Gong Rongbu musketeers who arrived picked up their flintlock muskets and fired black guns at Goshha.

The three Goshha were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest, and the remaining three Goshha were besieged by a large number of Gong Rong's soldiers, and were immediately cut into pulp by the Green Battalion soldiers.

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Zhou Youde shouted: "I swear not to be a thief!" After saying that, he planned to jump into the river, but when he was about to jump, he realized how much courage it took to kill himself! He couldn't jump at all.

Just when Zhou Youde hesitated, two pro-soldiers came up, like an eagle catching a chicken, pressed Zhou Youde and pressed his head on the deck.

"With the name of the governor of Hubei, hum! Lao Tzu went to Daming's side, at least he won't be sent to hard labor! Maybe you can keep your old official position! Gong Rong said with a sneer.

The large ships of the Qing army unfurled lanterns and sent a lantern signal to the Ming army.

Half an hour later, Gong Rong, who had already cut off his braids, took the soldiers who also cut his braids, escorted Zhou Youde, accompanied by the Ming soldiers, and walked into the Ming army camp.

"Yes, General Gong was able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and he also offered the Tartar pseudo-Futai! That's a great achievement! General Gong joined our army, or the general soldier! Wang Xinyu said with a smile.
