Chapter 569 Yinmen Array
Xijiang, under the Dayan Mountain.
On the vast river surface filled with fog, the Zhenyuan battleship swayed gently.
The draft of this giant ship is actually very shallow.
Although it is called a battleship, its tonnage is only equivalent to the Guangzi three ships during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. It is designed to focus on shallow water combat, so the standard draft is only three and a half meters. As long as it is not a severe dry season, let alone the main stream of the Xijiang River, even the main stream of the Tanjiang River can sail at will. The water depth of the Tanjiang River from Kaiping to Yamen is even more than five meters. So Yang Feng left the Weiyuan on the Tanjiang River, while the Zhenyuan cruised on the Xijiang River. Dingyuan was responsible for offshore warning. The three ships had radios for easy mobilization, and there was also a Jiangmen waterway connection between the two rivers. Once a certain place needed, they could support each other with high speed at any time.
If the sails and propellers are in all the best condition, the speed of these three warships can even reach twenty knots.
In this era, it is completely against the will of heaven.
In this way, these three warships completely controlled the sea surface and rivers of this area for Yang Feng. Although the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy led by Chen Huacheng had reached the estuary of the Pearl River, they could only hide in Humen and jointly guard the gate of Guangzhou with Guan Tianpei's fortress, but they did not dare to go out to sea to fight with the Ming army.
The main reason is that Chen Huacheng's mind is also very clear.
On the way to Humen, he was beaten by Dingyuan. Yang Zhao shamelessly followed Chen Huacheng's fleet to kill more than 200 miles. If the latter pursued this bastard, he would speed up his departure. Anyway, Dingyuan's speed could almost reach three times that of the Qing army's warship. It would be easy to play no matter how you want. Once Chen Huacheng ignored him, he would lean on him and hold down a Qing army warship outside the range of the Qing army's artillery and beat him. Poor Chen Huacheng was chased by Dingyuan for nearly 100 large and small warships, and more than 20 were sunk on the way. The only gain was to make a hole in the sail of Dingyuan, and then hide behind the Humen Fort in fear to comfort their injured hearts. The final result was that the two heroes of the original Crow in history wisely watched the Ming army warship wander in their defense zone. Anyway, Qishan also understood their difficulties.
As for the inland river...
There is even more helplessness on the inland river.
Just those small sailboats and sampans, let alone fighting, the three ships of Dingyuan can sweep these little toys even if they run at full speed. The displacement of a thousand tons is not worth mentioning at the sea, and when they reach the inland river, they are completely monster-level.
However……
"What is that?"
The captain of the Zhenyuan, who was drinking tea on the deck, was stunned for a moment, holding the teacup. The first mate beside him hurriedly raised his telescope and looked upstream.
Large groups of shadows swaying in the fog on the upper river.
"Prepare for battle, the Tartars are going to set fireboats!"
The first mate turned his head and shouted.
Chen Hong smiled speechlessly, then poured himself a cup of black tea.
It is obvious that this kind of thing is to add fun to his boring life. Although the Zhenyuan is made of wooden shell, it is actually covered with a layer of copper skin on the waterline, and it is also coated with flame retardant paint provided by the God Emperor. Unless it is poured with oil, it will not be able to lit it on its own, so the arson ship is basically useless. In addition, the Qing army has done this more than once, but the arson ships put down from the upstream have burned, not even intercepted by the naval guns.
This warship is full of rear-mounted rifled guns.
There was no need for the heavy artillery for naval battles on the second deck, and the small cannons with rotating cannons behind him were enough.
"Hurry up, don't bother me to have tea!"
Chen Hong said calmly.
At this moment, as a gust of wind blew over the river, his nose twitched, and then he showed a disgusting expression. It was not just him, but everyone on the deck of Zhenyuan showed the same expression, and the first mate even subconsciously covered his nose.
"Why is it so smelly?"
He retching for a moment and said.
Chen Hong could not calm down now. After all, the beautiful morning tea would definitely not be enjoyed in the toilet. He looked at the tea cup with a melancholy face, stood up decisively to find the source of the odor, and soon he locked in the target. The target came from the upstream and from the Qing army arson ships that were gradually becoming clear.
At the same time, the gunman was also aiming behind a ten-pound rear-loaded rifled gun that was closest to him. The cannon suddenly roared, and the cannon body suddenly retreated on the pouring gun mount. The shell roared forward and flew forward nearly a thousand meters in an instant, hitting a black shadow. Although it was a solid bullet, the black shadow still sank rapidly. At this time, the soldiers on the deck quickly opened the gun bore and reloaded the shell, pushed the cannon body back to its original position and fine-tuned it on the circular track, aiming the muzzle at another arson ship that could already distinguish the outline opened fire again.
Then more cannons opened fire.
However, for some reason, Chen Hong felt that the odor in the air was obviously stronger.
"Damn it, what are these dogs on board? Are they pretending to be shit?"
He roared angrily.
Well, the boat was filled with shit.
As a strong wind blew, the fog on the river surface was dispersed suddenly, and dozens of small boats were exposed. On these small boats that were blocking the river, countless toilets were neatly arranged, releasing a rich stench into the wind, and this stench kept surging forward with the wind, covering the Zhenyuan in its power.
Chen Hong was stunned when he saw this scene.
"Hurry, row quickly, lean on it. As long as you step on the demon soldiers' warships, their magic will be broken, their cannons will not fire, and their steam chickens will not move!"
On the front shit boat, a green camp guard waved his waist and shouted.
Then all the Qing soldiers on the shit boat rowed the oars hard, so that the boat that was originally going down the wind was moving forward at full speed, preparing to hit the Zhenyuan according to the task assigned by Admiral Yang, and paste the shit and urine in the toilet on this warship that uses magic. Not only the toilet, but also the black dog blood on these boats, and the horse-riding cloth used by women. In short, there are various magic weapons. It is obvious that this thing is effective, because the bandits on the Zhenyuan opposite them were completely frightened.
"Start fire quickly, don't let them get close!"
Chen Hong screamed in horror.
Not only on the deck, but even the gunners below also launched a heavy gun. All cannons that could be used at all angles were aimed at the shit fleet and then fired at the fastest speed.
Various artillery shells, including forty-two pounds, roared across the river and hit the small boats fiercely. As the small boats shattered under the impact of the shells, the shit and urine in the toilet splashed in all directions. In the shit and urine falling like heavy rain, the suicide squad recruited by huge rewards silently rowed the oars, and with the stench all over their bodies, riding pieces of horse-drawn cloth continued to move forward bravely for the Qing Dynasty.
"Brothers, it's today that we will win the wife and the children!"
The guard waved his waist and shouted.
At this moment, a piece of riding camouflaged in the sky suddenly fell down and suddenly stuck on his face. He wiped his face without changing his face, ignoring the blood stain on it. At this time, the fog dissipated, and he had a bit of style with a black blood in the golden sunshine facing him.
But this was useless. The frightened Ming soldiers also exploded. The cannons on the Zhenyuan kept spraying flames, and the shells kept falling into the shit boat. Then the boats were directly smashed into pieces, and the shit and urine that soared into the sky kept slugging on the surviving Qing soldiers. It also made the originally clear river surface turbid. Among the messy pieces of wood, horse-riding cloth floated strangely. Some Qing soldiers who could not bear it finally gave up their duties and jumped into the river and scuba diving downstream to the shore. But the guard continued to move forward with full loyalty to our Qing Dynasty...
"Stop shooting and let him come!"
Chen Hong roared angrily on the Zhenyuan.
At this time, he couldn't do it without shit, because the entire river surface was full of nowhere to be avoided. Countless toilets on the broken shit boats floated and sank down the river, and pieces of broken wood covered with shit also blocked the river. In addition, the floating horse-riding cloth was like broken ice in the river, and the stench was surging in the yellow of shit. The stench made the entire river surface look like a cesspool. Although it had not floated here, the Zhenyuan was also doomed.
The sailors immediately stopped shooting.
Then they looked at the garrison in front of the toilet array with hatred eyes together, and a lonely boat was moving forward bravely.
"It works, the demonic magic has been broken!"
The latter howled like crazy.
Obviously he misunderstood.
But the soldiers rowing behind him were still very rational. The soldiers looked at each other and then looked at all the muzzles on the Zhenyuan roar, and suddenly threw down the oars and jumped into the river as quickly as possible. Only the guards howled and continued to move forward.
Chen Hong looked at him in grief and anger.
Driven by the river, the boat finally hit the Zhenyuan.
I saw the guard bravely pick up a jar under his feet and smash it hard on the Zhenyuan number, and the black dog blood inside burst into an instant.
"The demon man, you won't die!"
He pointed at Chen Hong and shouted loudly.
Chen Hong looked at him sadly, looking at the ten toilets with open lids beside him, and jars filled with black blood under his feet. Then two sailors behind Chen Hong came over with an iron bucket, walked to the head of the ship with a grin on his face, and poured a bucket of boiling water that had just been picked up from the boiler without hesitation...
And at this moment, the Weiyuan on the Tan River was also attacked by a shit boat.
As for the results, there is no difference.
Because of the lack of a warrior who was as loyal to the Qing Dynasty as the guards, the shit fleet that attacked the Weiyuan ships were not even one of the shit-ups, and they were all broken by dense shells. However, on the Weiyuan, which was completely submerged by the toilets that followed the river and the shit-filled broken wood, the captain Zeng Tao was so angry that he ignored these things and drove the ship upstream, and then used a hook to drag out more than a dozen Qing army officers who jumped out of the water and fled several more toilets, and fed the guys one by one.
In short, the toilet array is completely invalid.
But this is no big deal, because Yang Fang has some tricks to use!
His trick is...
Jiangmen.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Feng looked ahead in a trembling voice and said.
This place is modern Jiangmen City, but it was just a small town in Xinhui County at this time. It was not until later that customs were established here and gradually replaced Xinhui County as the center of this area. This is the main channel for attacking Xinhui. The Qing army heading south from Heshan must pass here first, and the attack from the Xijiang River must also pass through the Jiangmen Waterway here. Therefore, this is also the main battlefield, and the land battle between the Ming and Qing armies is here.
The Qing army had just launched its third large-scale attack on Jiangmen.
According to the information, at least 30,000 Qing troops were dispatched.
Moreover, the commander of the Qing army was the Minister of Military Affairs of Guangdong, who was regarded as the god of war by the Qing army, the Guangdong land admiral, the prince Taibao, and the first-class Guoyong Marquis Yang Fang. In fact, the toilet formation was also part of this attack. Because as long as the two warships blocked on the Xijiang and Tanjiang were solved, the Qing army could land on the flank of the Ming army. In addition, the Qing army attacking Jiangmen head-on, once again formed an encirclement of Xinhui, including the last time it was carried out according to this strategy, but unfortunately it failed. This time, Yang Fang relied on his own way to defeat the enemy, so he completely copied the last plan.
It’s a pity that the toilet array failed.
However, the failure of the toilet formation did not affect Yang Fang, who was heading south from Heshan. Marquis Yang rushed to the rushing thirty thousand infantry and cavalry, and the first infantry brigade, who was missing a battalion of the Ming army, launched a decisive battle in Jiangmen.
Both sides have completed their array.
Then……
"Does he know that way, too?"
Yang Feng continued in a trembling voice.
At this time, in front of the Qing army that had completed the array, there were thousands of women, one by one, dressed in bright makeup, and were holding all kinds of fans in their hands. They probably were collected from all over the courtyards. These women were full of resentment on the faces of the Qing army's waist knife, cursing constantly, and then lined up in a very spectacular row in front of the formation. Then a Qing army general stepped forward, rode his horse and walked in front of them, pointing at them with his waist knife, and scolding them with his proud sword, although it was obvious that it was very
Unwillingly, the women still had to start untiing their belts in a mess, which made the Ming army, Qing army and the people watching the battle around them happy. Some of them found acquaintances were still whistling and calling, while the more stingy prostitutes also took off their pants while swearing loudly. However, even the scolding was cursing, under the threat of the Qing army's waist knife, they still took off their pants honestly, and even took off the other clothes inside, and then...
Then they all lay down towards the Qing army.
Amid the sound of Ming soldiers hitting the ground with chins, these girls spread their legs at the same time, exposing the hidden weapons to them, then placed the fan in their hands, constantly squirting towards them. This spectacular scene is truly unprecedented, and the entire battlefield is silent in an instant.
"Yinmen Formation, he actually understands Yinmen Formation!"
