Chapter 403: Sink It

If Huang Binqing ordered a retreat at this time, he would still have a chance to break through.

After all, the naval division brought by Wu Zheng was inferior to the Zhoushan naval division in terms of number and number of ships, which was like encircling the superior forces with inferior forces, and it was almost impossible to completely annihilate them.

But Huang Binqing made a wrong decision, he is also a veteran, from Xinghua Wei Baihu, participated in the pacification of the Lu'an Rebellion, was promoted to the general of Tongshan, and then became the Xuanfu Dusi, Fujian Fubiao guerrilla, fought with the red-haired people (Dutch) in Fujian, crusaded against the pirate Liu Xiang, participated in Zhang Puwei's rebellion to quell the rebellion, Chongzhen entered Ningshaotai in the last years of the general, commanded the water division in Zhoushan, added deputy commander-in-chief, and finally rose to the general army.

Therefore, the battlefield is more like a stage for him.

How can an actor be willing to escape from the stage?

After observing the battlefield, Huang Binqing immediately ordered the whole army to disperse, approach the enemy fleet as fast as possible, approach the enemy, and then bombard it with artillery.

This order, both theoretically and practically, is beyond reproach.

In the face of the inferiority of artillery range, such a strategy of engaging the enemy should be said to be correct.

If it was not the Ming Dragon Flag fluttering on the ships of Wu Zhengshui Division at this time, maybe the soldiers of the Zhoushan Water Division could still boost their morale and fight with all their might, but they found that they were fighting against the imperial court sailors, so who still had the morale to fight to the death?

Of course, if this is the only way, the sailors are not enough to say that they want to disobey Huang Binqing's order.

Therefore, Huang Binqing's seemingly correct order directly led to the instantaneous collapse of the Zhoushan Water Division.

Because, although the soldiers obey the general's orders, it is limited to the presence of the general.

Huang Binqing ordered the whole army to disperse and fight separately, which was tantamount to directly giving up his commander-in-chief's command.

If this is in the face of the Tartars, it is good that the soldiers have the same hatred for the enemy, but in the face of the imperial court sailors, then a river of spring water will flow eastward.

With just one pillar of incense, countless ships raised white flags and withdrew from the battlefield.

This scene made Huang Binqing, who was originally full of confidence and eager to defeat Wu Zhengyi, almost vomit blood.

The defeat was like a mountain, the time of a pillar of incense, the overall situation had been decided, Huang Binqing could only lose the car to protect the commander, and ordered the remnants to return south to break through.

But the problem is that at this time, it is already close and has been bitten by the imperial court sailors.

The two sides fled and chased, and there were constantly ships of the Zhoushan Water Division who lagged behind and surrendered.

When he arrived in Shangyu waters, there were only more than 100 warships left around Huang Binqing.

At this time, the appearance of more than 100 warships led by Chen Sheng was equivalent to announcing the destruction of Huang Binqing.

The remnants of Huang Binqing, who were surrounded by death, were already powerless to fight back.

Faced with the attack from the north and south, the ships on the periphery began to take the initiative to stay away from Huang Binqing's ship and chose to surrender to the imperial court.

But Huang Binqing resolutely refused to surrender, in fact, he knew that by surrendering at this time, he had lost his bargaining chips with the imperial court, and there was only a dead end waiting for him.

Rather than die on the guillotine, it is better to fight to the death.

The sides of dozens of warships were spewing flames, but the problem was that the range could not reach the imperial sailors.

Wu Zheng used the telescope given to him by Mo Zhi Nian and watched silently.

He felt a pity in his heart, and at the same time he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to reduce the loss of Zhoushan as much as possible.

And this opportunity has finally come.

When Zhang Mingzhen led dozens of ships from Zhoushan, as well as Wang Chaoxian on the main ship, appeared in the eastern waters together.

The sailors and soldiers all understood that the nest was no longer guaranteed.

At this time, a group of warships also appeared in the southern waters, and the flags on the ships indicated that this was the Ming army from Lihai.

was surrounded on three sides, and even Huang Binqing's henchmen on the side of the main ship began to quietly choose to break away.

Huang Binqing finally couldn't resist anymore, and he began to send Xiaozhou down, wanting to ask for peace.

At this time, Wu Zheng slowly put away the binoculars.

"Pass on the public order to sink Huang Binqing's ship."

After a series of ground cannon sounds, countless water columns rose on the water around Huang Binqing's ship.

Huang Binqing instantly understood his ending, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, even if he led the sailor to invade the waters of Hangzhou, but he was innocent and guilty, he rushed out of the cabin angrily, ran to the bow of the ship, and shouted and scolded in the direction of Wu Zheng.

No one could hear what he was swearing.

A solid bullet, with a scratch trajectory visible to the naked eye, pierced the ship's side.

Immediately afterward, shells were constantly hit, and a burst of fire broke out.

In a short time, Huang Binqing's ship was in front of the public's eyes, the flames soared into the sky, slowly tilted, and then sank.

……。

"How are you?" Chen Sheng, whose eyes were a little moist, bowed to Wu Zheng and saluted, he hadn't seen him for several months, and in the midst of the siege of the Qing army, Chen Sheng's psychological pressure was heavy.

Seeing Wu Zheng now, it is like seeing relatives and dependence.

Wu Zheng stepped forward, grabbed Chen Sheng's left arm, and hugged lightly: "I'm fine." You came at the right time. ”

Patting Chen Sheng on the shoulder, Wu Zheng pulled him to sit down at the bow of the boat.

Song An took his personal guards and isolated countless generals who rushed to Wu.

"Is Lihai okay? Is Fang Guoan still alive? ”

Chen Sheng wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes without a trace, and replied: "The thousands of guards left behind by the prison state have been reorganized, although some middle and lower-level officers are making a fuss, but after a long time, they will also be at peace, after all, Lihai is surrounded by the Qing army, and it is still possible to hate the enemy." As for Fang Guoan's house, how dare he trouble us, he has already cowered in Shaoxing Mansion City, I am afraid that he will not even dare to go out of the city gate, for fear that the people of Shaoxing Mansion will tear him apart. ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said: "This is what he deserves, what he should worry about is how he will die when Shaoxing Mansion is restored in the future." Speaking of this, Wu Zheng had already smiled, and his eyes became fierce, "Zhang Guowei Zhang Gong's death, at least half of it should be counted on his head." ”

Chen Sheng said: "My lord is right. It's just that....... ”

"Just what?"

"After the adults left Lihai, Fang Guoan did a strange thing."

"Strange things? How to blame the law? ”

"Fang Guoan sent a team of people to be stationed in Shining Town. When his subordinates heard about it at that time, they were also worried that Fang Guoan would ...... unfavorably to the farmers left behind in Wuzhuang. ”

"How dare he?!" Wu Zheng's face was a little hideous, "If he dares to do such an evil thing, even if it causes another war between the north and the south, I will take this opportunity to recover Shaoxing and kill him." ”

Chen Sheng hurriedly explained: "The strange thing that his subordinates said is that the army sent by Fang Guoan, they are stationed in Shining Town, and they do not disturb the people and plunder like other Qing troops, but patrol between Shining Town and Wuzhuang every day. ”

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "What does Fang Guoan want to do?" Want to use Wu Zhuang to threaten me? Amusing! ”

Chen Sheng said: "It shouldn't be, the subordinates judged, it was more like protecting Wuzhuang." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, "Is this possible?" What exactly does he want to do? Are you trying to please me? ”

"This ...... It's hard for subordinates to judge. ”
