Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 450: The navy shows off its power and adopts a multi-pronged approach
While ordering his own soldiers to find Chen Jindong immediately, Huang Chuansu ran over, beckoned the officers below to start gathering and led the soldiers to retreat first.
Under such circumstances, resisting on the pier is simply seeking death. You don't need to look at the bombardment power of this long-barreled gun to know that it can sweep almost everything and be invincible.
The most sensible thing to do is to break away from the front line, and then organize defense and counterattack outside the shooting range, but Huang Chuansu didn't know how many people could be organized to resist in this situation.
Accompanied by bursts of shrill copper whistles, followed by the "crackling" sound of firecrackers shooting, Huang Chuansu's heart sank suddenly. Such dense firecrackers shooting sounds showed that the navy was definitely more than just ordinary soldiers.
It's so simple to bombard the dock sexually, this is about to land.
"Sir, the Denglai Navy has begun to land, and it's all a black sea of sailors..." A subordinate ran back from the dock with a panicked face, his helmet tilted to one side, and sweat dripping down his face, "Damn, it's all
I have only seen self-produced flintlock muskets in your personal army, but they all have them. They must be the Denglai Navy! Only they have so many self-produced flintlock muskets, and brothers can't stop them at all!"
Huang Chuansu gritted his teeth and waved his hand violently, "Tell the brothers to withdraw. First withdraw five miles away and meet at the river temple by the canal to avoid the enemy's sharp edge!"
The general hesitated for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "Sir, they are also shouting over there, asking everyone to give up resistance. This is to comply with the imperial decree and dismiss Master Chen from the post of commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town. It has nothing to do with others, so he resists stubbornly.
, regarded as treason!"
Huang Chuansu hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "Is it such a simple thing? Why didn't we get any news before? The imperial court wants to remove the lord from the position of commander-in-chief, so it should be done, right? Why directly use the navy to make such a statement? It's obvious that it is
Some people are falsely passing on the imperial edict and want to eradicate the foundation of the emperor. We cannot listen! As long as we survive it, then they are rebellious!"
The general breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what his boss said, which seemed to make sense. "But the brothers below are a little unsure, and some have already gone into hiding..."
Huang Chuansu cursed impatiently, "Ignore those people, just take away what you can, go quickly..."
Just as he was talking, he saw several people from the Inspection Department running towards him. One of them was Inspector Zhang who had been drinking together at noon. "Master Huang, what happened? Why did the Navy come here?"
?』
"Damn it, who knows what happened? The navy probably rebelled. The attack on Guazhou at this time is obviously aimed at Mr. Chen. It doesn't matter. The navy only has a few people. As long as
After resisting this for a while, they had no energy left. "Huang Chuansu saw the anxious look on the other party's face, and calmly reassured the other party, "No, you follow us back and meet at Hebo Temple. I guess Mr. Chen in the city is very
We will get the news soon, and then we will deal with these navy thieves!"
"Really?" A tall, thin man following behind the patrol inspector Zhang took a step forward, "Then let's follow you, okay?"
"No problem." Huang Chuansu saw that this person was too close, and was a little dissatisfied that this guy didn't understand the rules. However, he saw a light flash in the other person's hand, and a short knife was sharply raised, piercing his lower abdomen, and fiercely
As soon as he stirred, Huang Chuansu felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, his vision went dark, and he felt that most of his strength was drained from his body. He pointed his finger at the other person and slowly fainted, "You..."
"Long Jinwei, who slaughtered Yuanzhao, a hundred households in Fusi, North Town, was ordered to deal with the rebels who were stubbornly resisting. It has nothing to do with others. He put down his weapons and accepted the navy's orders. He ignored them!" The low and penetrating voice, coupled with the eerie
His eyes suddenly shocked the surrounding officers: "Think about your families and clansmen. This has nothing to do with you personally. The court has a purpose. It only asks about the culprit, not the coercion. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't make any mistakes.
!」
Long Jinwei still has a great deterrent effect on the people in the army, especially these officers and soldiers have families, and everyone also knows that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, the confrontation between the north and the south is over, and the navy suddenly comes to Jiangnan, it is definitely not aimed at
The entire Huaiyang Army should target Master Chen, the commander-in-chief of the Huaiyang Army.
Although Huang Chuansu was brought by Chen Jixian from the Beijing camp,
His old subordinates came here, but his army was recruited when he was in Xuzhou, not the old troops of the Fifth Army Camp brought from the Beijing camp. Many of these people's relatives are still in Xuzhou.
Huang Chuansu was beheaded on the spot, which shocked everyone present, especially those grassroots officers and soldiers who thought that they still had a large family at home. Of course, they were not willing to risk their family's lives to get involved with the court and the commander-in-chief.
The duel between them has gone through a storm, and now they are leaderless. Whoever takes the lead may be regarded as a traitor by the Dragon Guard, and may be held accountable in the future.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers present had been restrained, Tu Yuanzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If someone suddenly jumped out and yelled in this situation, he would be chopped into pieces immediately with a knife.
"Denglai Town, Liaodong Town's army and Denglai Navy have landed. Huaiyang Town's army is waiting for processing on the spot. There is no need to panic. Within three days, the imperial court will send a new commander-in-chief to take over Huaiyang Town. Please obey
The new commander-in-chief gives the order..."
Tu Yuanzhao's eloquence was good, and he was also a specially selected talent. In addition, the patrol inspector next to him was also shouting and helping, and he finally stabilized the situation. At this time, Hou Chengzu's naval camp and Cao Wenzhao's army also swarmed.
Entered and quickly took control of the entire Guazhou Town.
"Don't stop, advance to Jiangdu immediately." After receiving the news that Guazhou was under control, Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, but this was not the most important thing.
Now we must control Yangzhou City before Chen Jixian reacts, or before Chen Jixian can command and mobilize the Huaiyang Army. Otherwise, if this war breaks out, the entire Yangzhou City may be destroyed. This is also the reason for the imperial court and Feng Ziying
Don't want to see it.
"Ziying, there is no need to worry too much. Judging from the situation in Guazhou Town, I am afraid that Chen Jixian has really forgotten everything. He really thinks that he can move to Suzhou and Hangzhou and leave Yangzhou and Huai'an to Wang Ziteng to block him.
He can live a leisurely and stable life. If he has this kind of mentality, I'm afraid the people below him will only become more like this."
Shen Yourong was more certain than Feng Ziying.
Judging from the battle in Guazhou Town alone, the performance of Huaiyang Town can be said to be extremely inferior. When the guard was captured, he was still hungover. No, it was not considered a hangover, but he was drunk at noon. Not awake. Of course, this is the credit of Inspector Zhang from the Inspection Department. I have to say that this guy also made great contributions.
"I hope so. I'm afraid if Chen Jixian responds in time, it will lead to a melee and the losses will be too great. I won't be able to report to the cabinet." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly.
He did not dare to contact the Yangzhou government easily, because the Yangzhou prefect and his fellow magistrates all leaned towards Prince Yi Zhong after the confrontation between the north and the south, so he could only observe temporarily and would rather let Wu Yaoqing use some other connections to help collect intelligence.
There was only one battalion of the navy for landing operations. After cooperating with Cao Wenzhao's army to land and control the situation, they quickly returned to reboard the ship. They had to immediately rush to Nanjing with the first part of the navy, while the other battalion of the navy went to another battalion of the navy. In addition, Mao Wenlong's troops attacked Jiangdu along the canal, catching Yangzhou by surprise.
It should be said that Chen Jixian reacted relatively quickly. When he heard that a large-scale naval fleet appeared on the Guazhou River, he realized that something was wrong. It was impossible for Jiang's naval fleet to have those kind of Western barbarian warships, but only Denglai naval vessels. Division, and the Denglai Navy had to report to the Yangtze River, and it was approaching Guazhou, jeopardizing water transportation, and people had to think too much.
Although Chen Jixian also didn't quite believe that it was unbelievable that Denglai Navy came to Yangzhou to do something when Prince Yi Zhong was about to ascend the throne, but as a warrior, he still had to be vigilant at least. In any case, promotion It’s always right to be vigilant and be more vigilant.
However, he also knew that there was some chaos in Yangzhou City. One of his own soldiers and Ji Dequan's troops had already moved to Suzhou, and the other group was still going to Hangzhou. In addition, Su Shunxin's troops from Gaoyou Prefecture were coming to Yangzhou City. On the way, we will probably arrive before dark.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to organize quickly, and he is not sure why Denglai Navy is here. There are rumors that Japanese pirates have frequently been in and out of the Yangtze River Estuary recently, and he doesn't know whether it is true or not. If Navy Denglai came here for this purpose, it seems possible.
This hesitation in attitude also affects the execution of the people below.
Some influences, no one knows what is going on in Guazhou Town. They only know that the fleet of Denglai Navy arrived on the river outside Guazhou. No one knows why they came.
When the news actually came from Guazhou Town, Denglai Navy's warships had already appeared at the gate outside Jiangdu City. At this time, Chen Jixian, who had just woken up from a dream, could only hurriedly lead his newly assembled troops. An army of personal soldiers rushed out from the south gate, intending to catch the opponent by surprise.
Fortunately, after all, preparations had been made more than an hour in advance, and there were still more than 4,000 soldiers in the city and more than 10,000 people from another general Jiao Tinghua. Chen Jixian knew that this was not the time to reserve his strength. If he still had If they are reluctant to join the army, Jiao Tinghua's more than 10,000 men are even more reluctant to go into battle in person.
At this time, he did not hesitate. He personally went into battle and led 4,000 troops, letting Jiao Tinghua lead his army to follow him and swooped towards the south of the city. However, Chen Jixian obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the naval fleet, and the battle situation in Guazhou Town was
He knew nothing, only that the navy landed and occupied Guazhou Town. He did not know that the navy used their long-barreled cannons to wash the ground and completely defeated the Huaiyang army on the dock.
