In order to intercept Peng Yulin's fleet, Meng Zhong and Meng Jie made a lot of preparations to give this guest who came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Whether you can retain guests depends on the means of retaining guests.

Of course, Peng Yulin and the others didn't know the details of this Black Dragon Pond fortress, thinking that they were just imitating the king of the mountain, but they were just relying on water to draft water.

On the basis of this understanding, he did not pay much attention to it.

When I arrived at the Black Dragon Pond, I glanced ahead, only to see that the entrance of the Black Dragon Pond section was pulled with iron cables, and both sides of the river were also covered with black pressure and people, and I didn't take it too seriously, so I stopped the boat at the moment, let my paperwork go to negotiate, and asked them to quickly untie the iron cable and let the army pass.

This document is also polite, there is no high language, just to explain that you are an official and a soldier, and you need to pass the guò river, please provide a square sign and let it go.

The previous conversation was Meng Jie, the deputy brigade commander of the fortress, and all this kind of external entertainment belonged to him. Of course, this time it was not just an ordinary entertainment, because no matter how you entertained, the result was the same: leaving the enemy ship behind.

However, Meng Jie was a polite and courteous person, so he naturally spoke softly, but the content of his words was not so popular: "Welcome! Welcome! The Black Dragon Pond Fortress welcomes every guest who passes by here! Especially the distinguished guests like the officials and soldiers! In order to show our respect for the distinguished guests, we have deliberately raised the pass guò fee a little. I think our valued guests are willing to pay. ”

When this document came, he got the bottom line from Peng Yulin, in order to pass safely. Even if he paid a hundred taels of silver for each boat, he confessed. It is also unprecedented to force the army to pay money to buy roads.

However, today's situation is too special, there is a dangerous pass in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, and if he is not careful, there is a danger of dying without a place to be buried, and he has to be aggrieved. Keep this account in mind, and one day let you repay it with interest.

Therefore, although this clerk was secretly angry in his heart, he still said in a steady tone: "This is not possible, there are defenders of the country there who have to pay tolls in order to protect their families and defend the country." However, in order to make friends with you. We agreed to pay it. How much do you have to pay?"

"Not much! Not much! We are all clearly marked and undeceived, and the average ship is to hand over two and a half of the ship, including the goods on board, of course. As for you, I just said it. Double. It's probably half a ship, right? I'm not a good student. Why don't you do the math for me?"

Seeing that this Meng Jie was still there smiling and talking, the face of this good-natured clerk turned green. Sure enough, it was a robber, and the roadblock robbery was justified. There is no guilt. However, the conversation will have to go on.

"I said, brother, you're too much, aren't you? Why do you want half of the boat, and you can get it all!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Jie was very good at riding a donkey, and praised the clerk: "Okay! Okay! Although we have set a bottom line -- half of the boats, we are especially welcome to make changes as you have just done."

"I have accepted your modifications, and now according to the new agreement, you can hand over all the ships to us. Don't forget, along with all the people and supplies above. ”

The clerk was so angry, and sure enough, it was Xiucai who met the soldiers--the reason is inexplicable;What's worse--encountered the bandits.。

There is Meng Jie there to talk nonsense with the enemy, here Meng Zhong hurriedly arranged, and prepared rolling logs and stones near the iron cable barrage, and people kept to stuff the top of the Black Dragon Pond wall to this side.

The negotiation clerk was almost killed by Meng Jie, and until the end, the offer of one hundred taels of silver had no chance to come out. I had to take back what I just said, but no matter how hard I tried, half of the ship's toll had to be paid, otherwise there was nothing to talk about.

There was no point in talking about it again, and the paperwork went back in a gloomy way.

As soon as he returned to Peng Yulin's command ship, the Qing army's fleet rushed over. It is estimated that this period of time is ready. The result of this negotiation must have made Peng Yulin angry, so he didn't delay at all and began to grab the pass.

There were three of the latest ironclad ships, often called ironclads, which were not only sturdy but also equipped with artillery! Although these thermal weapons were not very powerful, they were the most powerful weapons of the time.

As soon as the guns fired, they hit the soldiers of the fortress brigade standing on both sides of the river, causing casualties.

At this time, the city defense artillery placed on the fortress also opened fire. Although most of the shells did not fall directly on the ship, and the few that hit the ship directly, the ship that was hit, damaged by the severe, all slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

In order to avoid being attacked by the city defense artillery, all the ships that did not directly attack the fortress retreated outside the range of the city defense artillery, and only the ships that directly attacked the fortress continued to engage the defending fortress soldiers. Because the battlering was entangled above, the city defense artillery was useless.

At this time, the three boats of the Qing soldiers were closer, and the soldiers on them leaned their flint guns against the gang of boats and opened fire in unison. The guns were less powerful than the guns, but they were more agile and maneuverable. After a while, dozens more people were injured on the side of the fortress.

Finally, the attacking side came to the front of the iron cable, and was about to collide with the iron rope when it went up, but they heard a chorus of shouts, and the officers and men of the defending fortress worked together to put down the rolling logs and stones that had been prepared in advance.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Huge logs and stones jumped, churned, and rolled down, and pressed down on the three approaching enemy ships, and the Qing army was immediately killed and wounded!

The enemy ship near the left bank was the most unlucky, for a particularly thick log smashed right on the bow of the ship, and smashed the men and the rudder into powder! The river then surged into the boat. In addition, the others were also killed or injured, and there was no way to save them, and in a few breaths, the boat sank to the bottom of the river.

The other two boats were also damaged, and the people who put them on were also killed and wounded, but fortunately, the boat's piloting skills were still there, and they quickly turned around and escaped from the range of the rolling wood and stones.

This forced Peng Yulin into a desperate situation. To move forward is to devour oneself by death, and to retreat is to send oneself into the mouth of the tiger, and to stay here is to wait for death. After thinking about it again and again, only the obstruction of the conflicting enemy is the only way out, even if this road is more dead and less alive.

This Peng Yulin's ruthlessness completely exploded, and he sent three warships to attack three times in a row, regardless of life or death, regardless of casualties. After paying the price of three sinkings and six injuries, the defenders of the fortress finally ran out of rolling logs and stones!

At this time, there were still guards in front of him with the Hengjiang Iron Cable and the Jiahe array, and there were only three good ships left for him, including his own command boats.

At the last moment, Peng Yulin's own command ship took the lead and rushed towards the fortress, and he wanted to perform a life-saving trick......!
