Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters bullying the small
"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks!"
After discovering that the main force of the Ming Navy was heading towards the water camp, Jiang Daqing immediately raised the warning sign towards the water camp. The Qing soldiers on the observation deck on the shore immediately rang the gong, and the Guazhou Water Camp was in chaos.
"Damn it, Taiping Kou has been finished, come here every day, and you can rush in directly, don't just beat him and run away!"
Jiangdu Governor Ma Xiong walked out of the tent, tying his belt while cursing. Seeing his soldiers running around in a hurry, he was even more angry and kicked an unlucky guy in the butt, cursing: "Why are you running around? Why don't you get onto the fort!"
"Sir, your hat!"
Maxiong's personal soldiers ran up to offer the official hat. Maxiong took it over and put it on his head, tied a strap, and ran to the fort. He was ruthless. This time, he would have to sank several pirate ships no matter what. Let's see if they dare to come again!
On the fort, Qing soldiers rushed to wipe the cannon chamber and moved boxes of iron bullets to the fort. At the port, warships also left the canal estuary and sailed towards the river.
"How many pirate ships have come?"
Duo Bi was also alarmed by the alarm sound. While asking, he climbed up the platform and looked towards the river. He was shocked. He saw that the sight was full of sails, densely packed, afraid that there were no less than hundreds of warships. What he heard was the sound of war drums that were beaten on the Taiping Army warships.
"Report to the camp quickly, the Taiping gang is coming to attack!"
With so many warships coming from the Taiping Army, Duobi immediately realized that they were not simply attacking the water camp this time, and they were likely to land again, so he immediately ordered his personal soldiers to report to the camp for help.
The Guazhou Water Camp is only more than twenty miles away from the Daying located in the Jiujiangkou, and reinforcements can arrive immediately. Similarly, if the Guazhou Water Camp is not captured, the Taiping Army cannot attack the Qing army camp at the Jiujiangkou. The Guazhou Water Camp and the Jiangbei Daying are both a corner relationship and are indispensable. Just like the importance of the Northern Xinzhou Fortress for controlling the Yangtze River, the Guazhou Water Camp is also very important to the Jiangbei Daying.
“Go on the boat!”
Duobi ran to the dock without any hesitation. The reason why the water camp is called the water camp is because of the navy and warships. If the warships on one side cannot be deployed in time to meet the enemy, they will only be bombarded by the Taiping Army. It is impossible to defeat the Taiping Army by relying solely on the artillery on both sides of the water camp. Once the water camp warships are destroyed, the Jiangbei camp will face the Taiping Army's military front, and the consequences are that Duobi doesn't even think about it.
When he ran to the dock, Duobi was a little calm when he saw dozens of ships leaving the port and lined up. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that the navy's men would be unreliable or would be in trouble. Fortunately, those people knew that they were worthy of the Qing Dynasty.
"Sir, the Taiping Army is coming to attack our water camp!"
A general under Jiang Daqing's subordinates speculated from the huge fleet of Taiping Army upstream that the other party did not come to harass the enemy this time, but to attack the entire army. Now there are only five ships outside the port. Once the Taiping Army fleet arrives, they can't even run away, so they ask the general to retreat to the port immediately.
"I can't withdraw, I'll support me here!"
Jiang Daqing refused to retreat. In his sight, dozens of warships had just rushed out, and the rest of the warships had not yet had time to come out. He had to nail them here to win time for the water camp. This time it was not a harassment!
"Sir, we?"
The one who was always shocked by this order. The enemy had hundreds of ships, and only five of them were there. Isn’t it because he stayed here and asked for death? But when he saw the general’s angrily eyes, he was immediately scared and he never dared to withdraw.
"Those who violate the order will be killed!"
Jiang Daqing issued a strict order, and the Qing Dynasty treated him well. If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty, he would either be no longer in the world or still be a promising water bandit. How could he be the general officer? Eat the food of the Qing Dynasty and become an official of the Qing Dynasty. When things come, he would have to die to repay the king. Otherwise, wouldn't he be worse than the corrupt scholars of the Ming Dynasty who were hacked to death by him?
The Taiping Army on the North Xinzhou Fort in the distance noticed the Qing army warships still staying on the river surface and immediately fired fires here. With the sound of cannons, water columns of water flew up from the left and right sides of Jiang Daqing.
The huge fleet of Taiping Army upstream was driving downstream with all its might with the sound of war drums. The Yangtze River Navy, composed of the former Qing army Dongting Lake Navy, Wuchang Water Camp and the Jiangnan Navy formed in Nanjing, had more than 400 ships of all sizes and sizes, which were more than three times the strength of the Qing army Guazhou Water Camp. If all Taiping Army generals, including Zhou Shixiang, were worried, then on the water, the Taiping Army's navy was a huge giant. It was far weaker than the Zheng army in Jinxia, but much stronger than the Qing army. The reason why it was unable to pull out the Guazhou Water Camp before was just because the Taiping Army's navy did not gather.
Gan Hui and Yu Xin led 135 ships to form the Navy Zuoying, Guo Faguang and Wei Dalong led 126 ships to form the Navy Right Battalion, Zhong Ke, Li Benshen and others led the remaining 200 ships to form the central army, which was also a fleet carrying the main force of the infantry attacking the Taiping Army.
Seeing the flags raised by the central warships, Gan Hui and Yu Xin immediately ordered to drive with all their might. The left camp was the first to move forward, and the right camp also rushed out like an arrow, rushing towards the Guazhou Water Camp, one left and one right.
"General, there are five Tartar boats in front of you!"
"Crash into it!"
After discovering five Qing army warships in front of the Guazhou Shuiying Port, Gan Hui did not order artillery bombardment at all, but directly ordered them to hit him.
More than a hundred warships advanced like black clouds and collided with the poor five Qing military ships like an iron wall. After the Qing soldiers on the ship fired artillery, they all jumped off the ship in fear.
Gan Hui's ship was a tall sea boat. The Qing army's small boats were as ridiculous as children in front of this sea boat. With a "slam", the sea boat hit a Qing army warship heavily. The Taiping soldiers on the ship saw a big sword dancing with their hands. The Qing general who was shouting and cursing at them disappeared under the bow of the ship in a flash.
The river water was rushing, and the wooden boards that fell off the hull floated downstream along the river water. The whirlpools swallowed the Qing soldiers who were struggling with their hands.
"fire!"
Almost at the same time, the left camp and the right camp of the Navy were bombarded at the Qing army in the port at the same time. Amid the whistling of cannons, dozens of small boats loaded with hay suddenly emerged from the fleet. The warriors above tried to shake the boat, smashing the tiny oil tank when approaching the enemy ship, and flames suddenly rose. The sound of the cannon of the "Fire Dragon Tribute" was extremely sharp, and the huge iron bomb penetrated the warships transformed by the Qing army's civilian ships.
Why do Taiping Kou have so many warships?
Duobi looked in surprise at the huge Taiping Army fleet attacking his weak fleet one-sidedly. If it weren't for the Taiping Army's banner on those warships, he even thought it was Jinxia's pirates and Taiping Kou who joined forces.
This is not a mutual fight between the two at all, it is a complete bullying of the small!
Some book friends always say that I am a watery person. Actually, I want to say that the chapter on fucking the Tartars is the best section I think I wrote and the core purpose of this book. This book is actually about how to fuck the Tartars, and I have to tell you the fact. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
