On the north bank of the Ma River, the camp of the Ming and Mo coalition forces.

Gao pragmatic received two battle reports in a row, one good and one worried. The first, of course, was the great victory in the Battle of Majiangkou, which captured two large Galen warships made by the Portuguese, which was a "joy".

But the second piece of news was not so good, Gao Jing immediately found that the hydrological situation was not right after entering the Majiangkou, suspended the fleet's swimming, and withdrew from the Majiangkou, sending people to contact the Chinese army.

What hydrological situation? The river is narrow and the water is shallow.

According to Gao Jing's report, although the Majiang River claims to be a river, its channel is narrow, most of it is only "less than 100 zhang" wide, and some sections of the river are even only "30 zhang" wide, and the bottom of the river is sandy soil, not only are there many shoals, but the river water is also turbid and sandy, which is relatively unseaworthy for sea vessels.

What's more, the water is shallow now – according to the navigator of the Mozambican Naval Division, the flow of the Ma River is very changeable, and in the summer you can take large boats, but now it is still in the spring around March, and the water flow is not enough, so it seems that you can only take some small and medium-sized boats.

As for why Gao Jing didn't find out this problem until he entered the mouth of the Majiang River, it was because the Mozambican army did not have large sea vessels, and according to their thinking, the Majiang River was navigable in spring......

Therefore, Gao Jing is now sending people mainly to ask Gao Pragmatic to make an idea, whether to give up the whole fleet to enter the Ma River, or let the armed transport ships of the main fleet of Jinghua give up entering the river, and instead let those civilian ships carrying guns and the naval division of the Mo army enter the river to fight.

It is impossible for the whole fleet to give up, otherwise this battle will become a hard-fought battle to cross the river, and the trouble will be relatively great. Gao pragmatic hesitated slightly, and then ordered the second method: the main fleet lingered and waited at the mouth of the Majiang River, and the accompanying gun-carrying merchant ships and the Mozambican naval division entered the river to cooperate in the battle.

Two hours later, a fleet of small and medium-sized ships entered the Majiang Estuary, and Gao Jing left Jinghua's main fleet to wander around the Majiang Estuary, with Captain Liang Sancai temporarily commanding, and himself on the Hu Boss's gun-carrying merchant ship "Xinglong" to serve as a temporary flagship to command the operation.

For Gao Jing, although there were no large ships in this operation, these small and medium-sized ships were barely enough, and although the number of guns on board was less than half, they could still concentrate more than 600 large and small guns.

The funny thing is that among the more than 600 large and small artillery, there are only more than 100 of the Mo army's naval divisions, and the remaining nearly 500 cannons are owned by these law-abiding maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really a waste for you not to be pirates, maybe the old man occasionally mentioned the red-haired Fanzi's hometown, that kind of "privateer" is very suitable for you to do.

His idea was really not cranky, the famous Captain Drake, whose pirate ship Golden Deer was nothing more than a small Galen ship of about 300 tons, did not prevent him from becoming famous in Europa.

Boss Hu's ship is also a merchant ship of 1,000 materials, which is 500 tons, which is much thicker than Drake's capital.

Besides, Boss Hu still has 12 guns on this ship.

In a short time, the fleet that had finally contacted Gao Pragmatic launched an attack.

However, there was really nothing worth mentioning in this attack, and the Zheng army west of the Ma River had already abandoned its position along the river and retreated back after seeing the fleet appear, if it had not been for the small number of sentry scouts to observe the enemy's situation, there would have been no one on the defense line along the river now.

Gao Jing had already been informed of this situation by the Mo army's sentry ship, but because the master had explained that he would have to shell at least two rounds regardless of whether he retreated from the opposite side or not, he didn't plan to save money for Gao Pragmatic, and commanded the fleet to take place, and then there were two rounds of bombardment.

The thousands of cannons fired in unison, and the power of hundreds of cannons was not too bad, and Zheng Jun, who looked at the beachhead as if it had been plowed by cannons, was shocked to lose countless jaws after a few miles - can he still fight this fucking battle? No matter how iron your head is, you can't withstand a cannonball!

The highly pragmatic effect has been achieved.

He not only wanted to deter Zheng Jun, but also to deter Mo Jun, who had already surrendered to him. Now, this "auxiliary fleet" without the main fleet is playing such an effect, and if the main fleet with more and larger artillery comes to fire a salvo, what is the concept?

The Red River is much wider than the Ma River, if the main fleet of Jinghua comes to Shenglong City like this, the capital of hundreds of years will only be in ruins in one afternoon, right?

Gao Shipra, who had already arrived on the other side of the Majiang River to command, did not have to worry about his unreliable tactical command level this time, and ordered with satisfaction: "The generals will listen to the order and launch the battle of crossing the river!" ”

A group of generals who were aroused by the artillery shouted: "Get the order!" ”

Among the generals who were flushed with excitement, there were even three female toasters, including Huang Zhiting.

Some of the Mozambican warships without artillery and the Ming merchant ships with only two guns have been transformed into transport ships and have begun to launch cross-river operations under the cover of gun-carrying merchant ships.

Thousands of sails race, hundreds of boats compete for the current.

In particular, now that the other side has no resistance at all, what else is there to say, under the command of the generals of the headquarters, they are scrambling to get on the boat, ready to go over and grab the credit!

The pragmatic family members don't have to step forward for the time being, the wolf soldiers have already crossed the river under the escort of the Ming merchant ships, and those Mo troops who surrendered to Cheng still have some civilian boats and even small sampans that need to be collected to row over, in short, now the other party has no power to resist, just fight on the other side of the Ma River.

At the moment of Shen, the front army arrived at the beachhead and consolidated the beachhead according to a highly pragmatic plan.

At this time, Zheng Jun had gradually stabilized his mind under the screams of the superior general, and then pounced desperately.

Huang Zhiting's Siming Mansion wolf soldiers were the first to arrive at the Ming army because of the best treatment and were carried by the Ming merchant ships.

They have received a reward order from Huang Zhiting: the reward for this battle has been increased by half!

For the first time, the Guangxi wolf soldiers from Daming fought with Zheng Jun.

These ordinary wolf soldiers don't know that Zheng Jun defeated Mo Jun some time ago, they only know that they are now a "great soldier", and the other party is just a "wilderness barbarian", with obvious psychological advantages. Especially when I think about the rare high reward, in addition to killing people, I just remind myself to remember to cut off the head, what else...... Unimportant.

It doesn't matter if you are Mo Jun or Zheng Jun, they are all Annan soldiers anyway, and Annan Bing's heads are becoming more and more valuable now, great, whether this wave can be developed depends on whether your heads are enough to cut off!

The characteristic of the wolf soldiers is that their establishment is divided according to the region, and almost all of the comrades-in-arms around them are from the same region or even the same village, all of them are old friends who cooperate tacitly, and they don't need too much command at all, and they rush forward spontaneously in groups of three or five.

Zheng Jun suppressed Mo Jun for a good fight some time ago, and they were used to running away from the opposite side, and now they encountered an army that treated themselves as vegetables, and they were a little stunned for a while, but they immediately became angry, and raised all kinds of weapons to meet them.

However, these Zheng Jun, who grew up in the plains, in terms of real combat effectiveness, where are the opponents of the wolf soldiers who crawled and fought in the mountains of Guangxi? After going up and fighting for a while, I realized that something was wrong - why did most of the people who died belong to their own families?

At first, a general of the Zheng army rode a bantam horse and rushed forward to kill the shout, and Leng Buding heard a voice roaring: "Where did the dog come from, and it is also worthy of riding?" ! ”

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a general of the Ming army who was not tall, but every inch of his body looked full of explosive power, stepped forward, and a short bamboo spear in his hand had been thrown towards him suddenly.

The general of the Zheng army was taken aback, but he had no time to dodge, and watched as the short spear pierced and pierced him directly through the junction of his chest and abdomen.

With a scream, the general of the Zheng army fell down with his head up and fell off his horse.

Huang Hu snorted coldly, turned his head and shouted: "All departments of Siming Mansion, move closer to me, Lao Tzu is going to break the opponent's Chinese army!" ”
