Chapter 67: Night Battle
Let's go back to Fan Li's big camp, saying that it is a big camp is a big ship, and this is his headquarters. In fact, when he just sent Shanban out to rob the grain, Fan Li's heart was very worried, and to put it bluntly, he went to rob it out of luck.
But what you do with a fluke mentality, in fact, its success rate is not very high, so Fan Li feels more and more that this decision I made is not a little inappropriate. As a result, the ship was sent out, and it didn't come back for so long, Fan Li was a little anxious in his heart, and hurriedly sent someone out to investigate, saying that the ship went out to carry out the task of robbing grain, what happened now, and did it succeed? Is there a winning scheme? Why didn't anyone come back?
The spy went out after receiving the order, and came back when it was dark to report that our ships were all stranded somewhere. Fan Li was stupid when he heard it, there are more than 200 mountain slabs, thousands of people, if he is trapped, he will definitely be more than lucky!
However, at this time, Fan Li did not realize how serious the problem was, and he was still thinking about how I could save these people. So I had a meeting with Peng Yulong, how to study what kind of strategy or method can be used to save the brothers, to snatch back these ships of mine, and to minimize our losses, I am afraid that the thieves will do something cruel to the brothers!
Therefore, Fan Li's side drove the boat to the mouth of the lake with the heart of the decisive battle, not to mention the chagrin and self-blame along the way, in short, he was very anxious, so he drove the boat to the mouth of the lake with such a mood.
When you get to the mouth of the lake, Fan Li's boat has to stop, because I said before that the special location of this lake, the big boat can't go in, plus the boat of the rebel army is stuck at the mouth of the lake, and it won't let you in, and then inside is more than 200 mountain boards that were trapped in the middle of the lake before Fan Li, but Fan Li can't see it.
So what should we do at this point? Because it was night, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. Now attacking inside, it seems that there is no chance of winning, is that just waiting?
I was so anxious, I thought about it for a long time, I just want to spend it here, we take strict precautions, the spies are sent out for me, and I will do it at dawn tomorrow, this is our general attack, otherwise we will not have enough food to eat, so we just let it go and fight! So tonight, Fan Li's boat was stationed near the mouth of the lake.
Who is the happiest at this time? Stone rises! You've been tricked, don't you know? Where is your boat powerful, the two-in-one is powerful, now the small boat is in the middle of the lake, the big boat is outside the mouth of the lake, and I am separated, I am not afraid. So now I can break them one by one, and you're all in my pocket!
The next question is how to break it? Is it to pull the frame and continue to do it? Or do you want to rest tonight and we'll have a good time tomorrow at dawn? I'm sorry, this is the battlefield, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, that is, to attack your shortcomings with my strengths.
How to attack? When you came over, were you physically tired, psychologically anxious, and unfamiliar with the terrain, and it was dark, so you couldn't see anything, was this battle not easy to fight? No problem, these things are not a matter for our sailors of the Taiping Army! We're not anxious, we're familiar with the terrain, and we've been waiting for you in the dark, and now you're finally here, and Ishiki is finally going to do it!
So at such an urgent juncture, how did Shi Qi attack, and to complete this strategy, that is, to send his most famous and capable generals to lead more than a hundred small boats, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, to quietly approach Fan Li's boat camp in two ways.
It was very dark that night, the moon was also very dim, and there were no stars, so the whole lake was pitch black, and there was nothing to see at all, plus these sailors under Shi Qi deliberately hidden, and the clothes they wore were all black, and they did not light the lights, the sound was very small, and they also picked the most sleepy people around the third watch, so everything went very smoothly.
Slowly, these small boats entered Fan Li's water camp unconsciously, and Fan Li's sentries did not notice it at all, but the silence of the night was soon broken, and with Shi Qi's order, the people under his hands lit torches, and shot at the boat on Fan Li's side.
Then with the fire of war on Shiqi's side, Fan Li's side also quickly reacted, but when he wanted to attack again, he found that the advantage was no longer there, because you were half a beat slower, and you belonged to the kind of counterattack that was in danger, panic was certain, plus black, and the other party had already set up the battle formation, and it was obvious that Fan Li's side was at a disadvantage, so many warships were burned, destroyed, or taken down by the people on Shiqi's side without two strokes, and only a few big ships were left behind, and Fan Li's side shouted at this time: Hurry, hurry, fast, We attack, attack! me!
But what are you going to attack! Before, it was because the big boat and the small boat cooperated with each other to set up a formation, but now that the small boat is trapped in the middle of the lake, the attack of your big boat is slow, and the attack power is much weaker.
So the only thing Fan Li can do now is to open fire, but where are we going? Shiqi These are small boats, with good maneuverability, not to mention that they are not easy to aim, and when you aim to open fire, people will leave early! So when you shoot this cannon, you can only hit it in the water, and if you can't get it, you can still hit your own boat. But you still have to fight this cannon, and then match it with some bows and arrows.
The so-called small boat is good to turn around, the ship of the rebel army is small and flexible, and when your cannons come and your bow and arrows come in, I will drive my small boat around your big ship, and don't you just dodge.
Moreover, everyone on the rebel side can also see very clearly that the huge boat in the middle of the enemy side is the handsome boat that Fan Li is riding, so everyone must rush here!
There are more than 100 boats in total, and about half of the boats are running to Fan Li's handsome boat, and the tiger can't stand a group of hungry wolves. No matter what happens to your big ship, if you are at close range, it will be difficult for you to turn this situation back from a disadvantage. What's more, what about other ships you have? Do you still have to take care of them?
Therefore, although Fan Li's handsome ship has more than a dozen cannons, this thing is not very useful, and it can only rely on defense, and this cannonball is not endless, and the cannonball is quickly finished.
As soon as the cannonballs stopped at the end of the fight, the people on the rebel side knew what was going on at a glance, and some of the leaders shouted loudly: The enemy's cannonballs are gone, everyone rush quickly!
More than a dozen clippers rushed forward together, rushed to the side of Fan Liangshuai's boat, threw the hook up, climbed up along the rope, the first batch climbed up to dozens, the second batch continued to climb up dozens of them, seeing that the soldiers on Fan Liangshuai's boat were about to be unable to withstand it, Fan Liang became the original commander to scream, and became under the escort of the soldiers to hide in the cabin! The soldiers around him also shouted: Go find a small boat and escort the adults away!
