On the fifteenth day of the first month of the 19th year of Jingde, on the day when everyone celebrated the Lantern Festival, the soldiers and horses of Jiang Taiping moved to the northeast from the sea and land respectively, in a vain attempt to cross the New Southern Army to the north and take the capital directly.

It's a pity that the chess is missing, and Guo Wenying has been waiting for him in ambush for a long time. The land battle was originally a suspicious tactic, and Jiang Taiping thought that the waterway that was most stable was the most severe.

Fuzhou City is not easy to fight, Guo Wenying didn't plan to fight Fuzhou from the beginning, but just set up cloth bags in several important places and waited for him to drill inside.

Dragonbone Bay.

As far as the eye can see, the huge warships in the distance are as insignificant as small wooden carved boxes, and the steep cliffs along the coast carry a hideous shadow against the sun.

The sea is so vast that it is not until the horizon blends with the blue sky that a smile appears on its calm face.

Guo Wenying stood on the deck, looking forward with clairvoyance, there was not the slightest movement on the sea in the distance, and he did not see the shadow of the Nanling Army's fleet.

Xu Hai stood behind her, followed her gaze with his feet crossed, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, they won't stop taking this road, right?"

Guo Wenying glanced at him, "Don't worry, it will come." ”

This place is the only way to enter Beijing by sea, and it is absolutely foolproof to set up an ambush here.

Suddenly, a galloping sea falcon ship rushed past their line of sight, and two white waves stretched out, as if rolling up the white snow and rolling towards this side, reminding people of a poem: "The rocks are shocking the sky, the waves are crashing, and a thousand piles of snow are rolled up."

Guo Wenying looked at the sea falcon ship and couldn't help but smile, this is one of today's killer features. The sea falcon ship is a kind of sea ship suitable for open sea warfare, its shape is different from the above-mentioned inland warship, the front is high and the back is low, the front is large and the back is small, like the shape of a falcon, and the left and right floating plates on the ship are shaped, and the shape is like a falcon's wings. In order to build this ship, it took a lot of effort, and I was so worried that I wanted to pull out my hair.

After waiting for a while, the signal ship in front of him gave a signal, and Xu Hai breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord, it's here." ”

Guo Wenying nodded, "Tell the brothers to prepare for battle." ”

The order was given, and the fleet quickly assembled, and the Conch and the Giant Peak also began to move closer to their ship.

Guo Wenying took the Xinying number, named after her, and took a new word from the New Southern Army. As the first warship with the largest draft in the Southern Qi Dynasty, the Xinying will surely play a huge role in the naval battle.

Far away, the fleet of the Nanling Army roared and sailed, this time Jiang Taiping also made enough money, seven giant warships came to this side, and there were eight escort ships next to each warship, looking at the draft, it seemed to be equivalent to the Conch and the Jufeng. Each warship could transport three or four thousand people, and with the addition of frigates, there were probably as many as fifty or sixty thousand people in this line.

Guo Wenying frowned, watched the fleet approaching, and saw that it was within the firing range, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, attack." ”

The herald quickly waved the flag, and a moment later the rumbling of cannon rang out over the sea.

This is the second time since the Northwest that the importance of advanced technology to war backward technology has been demonstrated in the form of war.

After special improvements, the artillery was equipped with the Xinying warship, twenty-four gun cabins, huge firepower, coupled with Spanish sail technology, fast speed, and fierce firepower, completely crushing the naval army of the Nanling Army.

Seven warships were so hard under bombardment that they could barely lift their heads, and in a matter of moments, two were sunk, and the water was full of the bodies of shipwrecked sailors and sailors.

Guo Wenying's latest design of the Sea Falcon also played a huge role, this kind of sea ship suitable for open sea operations, its sailing speed is much faster than ordinary ships, although the hull is not large, but the firepower is very sufficient. It twisted between the frigates, and it took out most of the frigates.

In the close-range water battle, the Nanling army began to use the firecracker for the first time, and I don't know where they got the firecracker manufacturing technology, which really startled Guo Wenying at first glance, but after four hours of fierce fighting, she smiled......

The Nanling Army's firecracker was used for too long, and it actually blew up the boring, from the first soldier blew up his hand, let out a scream, and the boring seemed to be contagious, followed by the second and third, and then all the soldiers holding the gun can't help but lose the firecracker.

Half of the soldiers' hands were blown to pieces, and they could no longer touch anything.

The weapon has lost its power, the hands are gone, and this battle is still a fart?

The Nanling army was defeated, and the three warships were sunk under the combined siege of the New Southern Army's Jufeng and Xiangluo.

Of the seven warships sent by Jiang Taiping this time, only two warships escaped with more than a dozen frigates.

Not only was the water route defeated, but on the land route, Jiang Taiping's Nanling army also suffered defeat.

The 30,000 army crossed north and met the New Southern Army led by Xu Heng at Laoyashan. Xu Heng waited for work, and the artillery continued to attack, beating the Nanling army to cry and cry for his mother, and fled crying all the way. Only half of the 30,000 troops ran away, and the rest were buried under the fire of the New Southern Army.

Jiang Taiping suffered defeat on land and water, and had to retreat to Quanzhou as a last resort.

On February 15 of the 19th year of Jingde, Jiang Taiping led his men and horses to withdraw from Fuzhou.

Guo Wenying didn't expect him to evacuate Fuzhou so quickly, and he didn't have time to pursue for a while, and when he found out, Fuzhou was already an empty city.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Guo Wenying led his troops to be stationed in Fuzhou, and regarded the original mansion of Nanling Gong as his temporary residence, forming a corner with Zhangzhou, and the two sides each occupied half of the southeast. At this point, Jiang Taiping lost half of his power in the southeast.

Guo Wenying is pressing forward step by step, and has forced him into the corner. Jiang Taiping was indignant in his heart, but he couldn't do anything for a while, so he simply founded a country in Zhangzhou, with a yellow robe, and called himself the emperor.

He named the country Zhou, known as the King of Zhou Ling, and then followed the heroes, all the marquis and worship, and the queen and the palace were sealed, and he also counted the addiction of being an emperor.

※

Guo Wenying heard that Fang Yuntang was in Fuzhou, and on the day he entered the city, he specially sent someone to find him, but he was also afraid that he would be injured in the war. But all over Fuzhou City, there was no trace of him, and I asked the shopkeeper of the Chase number, but I don't know where he went.

She had too many things to do, and although she was worried about him, she didn't spend any more time, thinking that with his ability, nothing would happen after all.

The situation in the southeast was temporarily controlled, because Qin Shumin and Fang Dadou mediated in it, and the three southeastern provinces were not in turmoil for a while, and most of the towns, cities and counties still obeyed the orders of the imperial court.

Jiang Taiping was constrained everywhere, so he had to live in a corner, and although he was able to stand on his own, he did not dare to move for a while. can be regarded as being completely beaten honest by Guo Wenying.

Guo Wenying lived in Fuzhou for a few days, only dealing with political affairs every day, and when Jiang Taiping ran away, he left a mess behind. The people's hearts are unstable, and there is an urgent need to stabilize the people's hearts, and there are some post-war matters, which keep her busy for a while.
