Chapter 1098: Xiao Jing's Decision (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The reeds parted, Jing Hao looked at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, it was too lively. Read the full text of the latest chapter
It was not clear where they were whether it was a river or a lake, anyway, there were river forks and reeds everywhere, but they saw many boats and Qing troops crossing the river in front of them
。
They connected the boats into pontoon bridges, and groups of Qing soldiers were shouting trumpets and carrying one copper cannon after another along the wooden planks laid between the ships. In addition to the cannons, there were also large wooden barrels, which rolled on the wooden planks.
The heavy cannon creaked against the planks, and the wooden boat jolted up and down.
On the pontoon bridge, in addition to the Jiannu who is holding weapons like a great enemy, there are also small boats shuttling back and forth between the bridges and being vigilant.
Because there are so many ships and so many people, it is impossible to count. But he saw that the water and the reeds were full of figures of men and boats, and the light of the fire illuminated everything around them as if it were day.
Not only that Xiaojing, but also the other soldiers were stunned, looking at the size of the enemy, about a battalion of men and horses was dispatched, at least more than three thousand.
Although the soldiers of the Zheng family have harassed Jiannu enough these days, they are all petty fights. Anyway, they have instructors to lead the team, and these instructors are very good, and they will definitely take advantage of it, but if they suffer a loss, they will not do it anyway. Therefore, when they fought Jiannu, they usually got on five or six small boats together and beat up the lone enemy ships. If the Qing army is strong, they will disperse with a roar and hide directly in the reeds, making the Qing slaves angry outside.
Today, there were so many enemies, and while they were surprised, everyone didn't think about rushing to their deaths.
Yes, this time I came to harass the Qing army, and the town navy dispatched a total of five small boats, a total of thirty people, led by Shi Lang. Thirty people went to fight a battalion of Qing troops, and it was not like this to go crazy.
Someone couldn't help but say frustratedly: "Unlucky, there are so many thieves, and we can't finish this situation for a while, we are stuck upstream, and don't think about going back to Dasheng Pass at dawn." ”
Shi Lang also sighed: "After a busy night, I found nothing, but now I have to hide here to feed mosquitoes all night, my luck is really damn bad." Let's sail back to the reeds and sleep. ”
"Yes, General Shi." Everyone lifted the oars weakly and was about to move.
"Wait." Xiao Jing suddenly shouted: "Thunderbolt, as soon as you encounter the enemy, you will hide, and you will not be afraid of the laughter of the brothers when you go back." ”
Shi Lang: "Brother Jing Hao, what else can you do if you don't do this, admit your bad luck."
。 As he spoke, he reached over and grabbed Xiao Jing's wine jug, and sang leisurely: "If you can't take a breath, where will you settle down." The drunkenness is big, the sun and the moon are long in the pot, give my brother a bite. ”
Jing Hao slapped Shi Lang's hand away and sneered: "My wine is only for warriors and heroes, and cowards who retreat from battle are not worthy." ”
Immediately, one of Shi Lang's guards shouted angrily in a low voice: "Jing Hao, how did you speak, we didn't mess with you." If you are humiliating others, Lao Tzu and you will go in with white knives and red knives out. ”
Jing Hao was not afraid, and continued to sneer: "You are still in the market, you have the ability to play ruthlessly to Jiannu, what kind of ability do you have to make trouble with me." ”
Shi Lang didn't seem to care, and he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Jing Hao is stingy, he can't afford to drink, I won't eat you." ”
Xiao Jing: "It's not a question of eating wine or not eating wine, don't you still understand what Jiannu over there is doing?" ”
"What for?" A soldier of the town navy asked.
Xiao Jing pointed to the busy ships and Qing troops in the distance and said: "Those Jiannu have not shaved their hair, they should not be authentic old Tartars, if you guess correctly, it should be one of the two traitor armies of Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi." ”
Everyone looked at each other and nodded: "Sure enough, Brother Jing Hao has good eyesight." ”
"So, which of these two lines of soldiers and horses is it?" Jing Hao didn't wait for everyone to answer, and then said: "Wu Sangui's traitorous army is the former Guanning army, all of them are war horses and equipment. And the enemy in front of him has few horses, ordinary equipment, and a large number of muskets and artillery, if he is not mistaken, he should be a gratifying person. ”
Shi Lang patted his thigh: "That's right, it should be Shang Han's traitor." ”
"So, the question is, what do you want to do when Shang Kexi sent so many soldiers and horses to Dasheng Pass in the middle of the night, and brought so many artillery?" Jing Hao asked rhetorically.
Shi Lang disagreed, and replied casually: "What else can I do, it's just that Jiannu's attack on the big victory pass is not smooth, and I want to transfer artillery to bombard the city...... Ah......h
Jing Hao nodded: "That's right, it's definitely going to bombard the city, and so many people have been dispatched to make such a big move."
。 In my opinion, when all the cannons have been transported and the day dawns, Jiannu will definitely go out with the whole army to fight a decisive battle with our army. Ladies and gentlemen, we are very unlucky, we are isolated here, and I am afraid that we will not be able to make it in time for Armageddon. At this, his face was grim.
"What the fuck!"
"Oops!"
Everyone was dejected, now that Jiannu had begun to move, they were blocked in the upper reaches of the river by Shang Kexi's soldiers and horses, and there was no way to return to Dasheng Pass. Everyone has been training for half a year, isn't it just today, but now it's good, this big battle has nothing to do with them, isn't it possible that the hard training in the past is all in vain?
Even Shi Lang, who wants to be cynical and hippie with a smiling face, is full of gloom. As the first brave general of the town navy, he can't even go to the battlefield, so he might as well die.
After a long time, Shi Lang grabbed the wine jug again and took a big sip of it.
This time, Jing Hao didn't stop him, only nodded: "Okay, everyone drink a sip of Zhuangxing wine, and then we will go to the battlefield to fight, the decisive battle will start from this moment, let's take the first shot." Gentlemen, this first battle is the first to take the lead, don't fall my sergeant, work hard! ”
"What?" Shi Langhuo turned his head to stare at Xiao Jing.
Jing Hao stood up, pointed to the enemy in the distance and shouted: "Everyone has already understood just now, there are Shang Kexi's soldiers in front, and they are about to transport the cannon across the river to the front of the Great Victory Pass. You must have all heard of the instructor's lessons on weekdays, but today's warfare is different from the past, and it is no longer an era when a single arm can conquer the world, but what is emphasized is the mutual cooperation of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. If so many cannons were to be transported across the river, at dawn, I don't know how many brothers would die in the enemy's fire. We simply blew up these cannons and broke one of Azig's arms. ”
After speaking, he continued: "This is a great achievement, Dashengguan is watching us, Nanjing is watching us. Now do you want to go back to sleep in the reeds, or kill the enemy with me, if you are a man, squeak. ”
"Naturally, he is willing to make meritorious contributions, who the is willing to hide in the reeds." Shi Lang snorted, but his eyes lit up: "However, there are too few of us, and I am afraid that we will not be able to blow up so many cannons." ”
"Why not." Jing Hao laughed low and pointed ahead: "Sea Thunderbolt, you can see clearly, Jiannu has transported a lot of gunpowder. There are ships everywhere, and there are dry reeds everywhere, and it only takes a fire to burn this place into Infernal Fire. ”
"But...... Brother Jing Hao, this water is full of Jiannu boats, how can we get close? A soldier of the town navy couldn't help but ask
。
Jing Hao sneered: "I haven't learned the art of war, have you watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" If not, have you heard the storytelling? ”
Shi Lang's eyes brightened: "Brother Jing Hao, do you mean to learn from the Battle of Chibi to burn Cao Jun?" ”
Xiao Jing nodded: "That's right, that's exactly what I thought." It's not called learning, didn't the instructor teach you special operations, in fact, isn't this what we are doing when we come out these days. You are all people who have lived on the ocean all your life, and I don't bother to ask what the water is like. Wait for everyone to get some dried reed leaves and spread them on the boat, then sprinkle the gunpowder on them, and then push the boat down the river with a tentative water. This shouldn't be a hard job for you, right? ”
Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced around at everyone, and continued to stir everyone's blood: "Think about it, what a feat it is to break one camp to build slaves with the Thirty Great Congress, and Chen Qingzhi was nothing more than this in the past. ”
"Who is Chen Qingzhi?" A soldier asked.
These illiterate and uneducated stupid troops, Xiao Jing slandered and put it another way: "In Changbanpo seven in and seven out, Zhao Zilong, who killed millions of Cao troops, is nothing more than that." I just want to ask, do you want to be a shrunken turtle or Zhao Yun who is full of guts. ”
"Naturally, I want to be Zhao Zilong, do it!"
"Sea Thunderbolt, let's do it, let's get a big one!"
"Sea Thunderbolt, this thing is done!"
Shi Lang gritted his teeth, "Okay, just do it, Brother Yi Jinghao." With that, he poured another sip of wine.
Xiao Jing snatched it up: "Leave a little for the brothers to eat to warm up when they go into the water." ”
Soon they cut the reeds and filled them on the boat, and untied the sheepskin bag that hung from their waists, and dismantled the paper with the projectiles in it, and scattered it on it.
This time I came to harass Jiannu, in line with the principle of running away with one shot, these thirty or so people brought muskets and prepared a base number of ammunition, which happened to be used at this time.
When everything was ready, a can of spirits in Xiao Jing's hand passed in the hands of everyone, and he drank it all in a blink of an eye.
Shi Lang saw that everyone was ready, and shouted: "Good wine, refreshing."
! Then he took off his armor and clothes with his hands and feet, and with a small plug in his mouth, he stood at the bow of the ship, and rose into the air, and plunged his head and feet into the ground.
Without sound, it's like a fish swimming back into the sea.
Everyone else slipped into the water and pushed the boat along.
The five boats drifted silently down the river
Xiao Jing hid in the back of a small boat, he was not very good in the water, and he was protected by a soldier, with his hands on the stern of the boat, and he held the flint and fire sickle tightly.
It's closer, it's closer, it's bright in front of me, and I can already see the appearance of the enemy.
The five small boats that suddenly floated in attracted the attention of the enemy at the beginning of the journey, and several of them went out, and when they looked at it from a distance, they saw that there was no one on board, and they did not ask any more questions.
This also allowed Xiao Jing and them to lean over smoothly.
As the five boats approached the enemy's pontoon bridge more and more, the Qing troops on the bridge finally aroused vigilance, and an officer shouted: "What's the matter, where are the boats, people, pull them away for Lao Tzu, don't hit the bridge." ”
A mouthful of Liaodong Han dialect is really a traitor army that is still gratifying.
With a shout from him, the enemy boats scattered all over the river fork came at a rapid pace.
"Now, do it!" The sound of a thunderbolt sounded.
"It's now, ignition!" Xiao Jing shouted, and with a force in his hand, a ball of fire lit up from his hand, and then fell into the boat, and in an instant, with a whew, the flames spread.
Then there was another shout, and another boat burned, and then the third, and the fourth, and the fifth......
All the town's naval soldiers kicked the water hard and pushed the boat desperately forward.
This sudden scene startled the Qing troops on the pontoon, some were shouting, some were picking up their weapons in a disorderly manner, and some were standing there in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Boom!" With a bang, probably too panicked, four soldiers were carrying a tiger squat cannon, and they were hit by the chaotic crowd and fell into the water, and the waves splashed everywhere, pouring down like a torrential rain
。
"Fire, fire!" On the pontoon bridge, the Qing officer was drenched in water, raised his knife to cut down a Qing soldier who was in the way, and shouted hoarsely: "Musketeers, crossbowmen, shoot at the sides of the boat." Spearman, hold the ship, get to the ship......"
On the pontoon bridge, there are all kinds of large and small artillery, and what is worse is that there is a lot of gunpowder, if the enemy's fireship is brought closer, it will immediately become a prairie fire.
With his order, the Qing soldiers on the pontoon bridge raised their muskets, drew their bows, and shot projectiles and feathered arrows into the water without fatality.
For a while, the gunfire was loud, and the air was full of the "roar" of feather arrows.
The feather arrow was okay, but after entering the water, it was resisted by the water and lost its kinetic energy in an instant. But after the musket projectile is shot into the water, it still maintains a very fast speed.
Xiao Jing hid behind the boat, the fire was already raging, and the scorching waves of fire hit, only to feel the sound of scorching and curling hair, and the pain on his face and the back of his hands was unbearable.
Lead bullets flew sideways in the air, hitting the water around them, stirring up Mercury.
The soldier next to him snorted, and his body trembled. Xiao Jing: "What's the matter, does it matter?" ”
The man chuckled: "It's like a bite, it doesn't matter...... Yes! As soon as he finished speaking, a feathered arrow suddenly plunged into his right eye socket.
He let out a long scream, and was instantly swept away by the rolling river.
Jing Hao's heart ached, and when he looked around, the soldiers of the town navy were trying their best to hide next to the boat, and it was a mess. In this way, the five fireships were not propelled by manpower, and their speed slowed down.
Xiao Jing shouted: "Don't hide, the more you dodge, the more ghosts come out, quickly push the boat over!" ”
"Push, push!" A soldier leaned over the river with his feet in the water and pushed the stick hard. At this time, the sound of "fluttering" sounded continuously, but I saw several bullet holes suddenly appear in his chest. There was no bloodshed, and he didn't even have time to scream, and as soon as his hand was released, the whole person disappeared into the darkness.
"Rush!" When they saw that he had died so miserably, their eyes seemed to burst into flames, and they shouted in unison, and they did not care much about it, and pushed the ship forward.
