"Slay the dragon!"

At the moment when the signal flag was raised, Ma Xin, who was on the flagship of the sailor on the left wing, waved his left hand suddenly. The three sampans rowed towards the "Rolling River Dragon".

The four small sampans, slowly tracing up the river in the waves, covered with white cloth, were exactly the same as they had been when the last sacrifice was held. To trace in a large river like the Yangtze River, it is necessary to make oars. There were several holes in the belly of the boat side by side, and several oars protruded from the holes to the outboard. There's a reason why the boat is slow now, with only one paddle paddling on the left and right.

In fact, all four boats are decoy boats. Soon after these four decoy boats left the fleet, they began to slowly accelerate, and soon rushed towards the "Rolling River Dragon" at full speed.

The Qing army, which was frightened by this huge fleet, was nervous and nervous, almost as soon as they saw the three ships approaching their "water fortress", they immediately opened fire, these three sampan boats rowed by manpower, extremely fast, and extremely flexible control, the shells fired by the Qing army were originally because of the undulating waves did not have the right head, which will face such a target, the accuracy is naturally worse, the three small boats drove in front of the iron lock and went around, and then went down the river, but they did not leave, Instead, they turned around and drove back after not far away from the range of the Qing army, and so on.

Constantly testing the firepower of the Qing army.

"Twenty-six, twenty-seven......"

When the Qing army's "Mufu Battalion" continued to attack the three small boats with artillery, on Ma Xin's flagship, several generals wearing white helmets were counting the cannon smoke of the Mufu Battalion there, and every gun smoke gushing out of the cannon window was a cannon.

While they were counting the artillery fire of the Mufu camp, a Westerner beside Ma Xin who looked very different from them was holding a monocular in his hand, and seemed to be observing something.

"Mr. Shi, do you see any clues?"

Put down the binoculars Ma Xin asked the Westerner beside him, this is the Westerner he saved from the pirates a few years ago, and it can be said that he has some talent in cannon casting and other aspects.

"General, as far as I can see, the Tatars have very limited firepower, and most of their guns are 9-pounder, and each water fortress has only two or four 12-pounder guns......"

Shi Si, who was holding the binoculars, replied in an extremely confident tone. His knowledge of artillery allowed him to judge the power of the enemy's artillery by some details in the gun window.

"General, in my opinion, you should use the flagship as a lead, and give full play to the power of the flagship's six 30-pounder cannons, I think it is completely possible to completely destroy them outside the range of the Qing army, and there are still many 18-pounder and 20-pounder ......cannons in your fleet, General."

As an engineer, Shi Si has his own opinion on attacking, but when he made this suggestion, he noticed that Ma Xin ignored him, so he immediately understood that the other party had completely ignored his advice as in the past.

Indeed, over the years, Shi Si had tried countless times to try to show his abilities in this army and thus gain the appreciation of that Zheng Wangye, but his hopes were shattered again and again, because his advice would not be taken at all.

Because they ...... Not at all!

"Almost two hundred cannons, this Qing army can be regarded as a bloody investment......"

Muttering so in his heart, looking at the wooden floating camp, as if looking at a dead man, Ma Xin shook his head and sighed.

"It's a pity!"

In his own words, Ma Xin ordered his subordinates beside him.

"Pass the order, the water ghost team will attack!"

The water ghost team, for the Qing army who is not good at water warfare, they have naturally never heard of the water ghost team, but for the Zheng family army, which has been fighting at sea for many years, the water ghost team is the most common soldier. After the three lanterns were raised, two red and one green, the sampan of the water ghost immediately rowed towards the four wooden floating camps located in the middle of the river, and when the four sampans rowed away, the drums of the sky immediately sounded in the fleet.

Listening to the sound of drums that resounded through the sky, Zheng Chenggong had a smile on his face, and when he looked at Zhang Huangyan, his face was a little proud, and his expression seemed to want to tell this Zhang Xuanzhu and tell him that this "dragon" king was decided!

"My lord, Zheng Thief is here!"

As soon as the Qing soldiers in the wooden floating camp saw more than a dozen small boats rowing towards the floating camp like off-string ships, they immediately shouted nervously, they had fired hundreds of cannons before, but they had not been able to hit the small boat.

"Don't worry, don't you want to see how many cannons we have! Brothers, just open fire, we have dozens of cannons and thousands of shells in this water village, and we can't consume them? ”

When the words fell, Liu Huaxi cheered up again.

"The Governor said that if you sink a ship of Zheng thief, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

This sound of "rewarding a thousand taels of silver" only made everyone swallow and spit, that is, according to the head of the person, and then deduct some more, and the silver that fell into their hands was not a tael of silver!

"Fuck it!"

I don't know who scolded, and these soldiers of the Han army flag in the Mufu camp immediately shouted. Immediately firing at the boat on the river, although the accuracy was average, the momentum seemed to be a little more fierce than before.

"It would be great if I could be a little more accurate!"

Zhu Yizhu, the governor of Caojiang, who was in Guazhou, looked at the water columns that fell on the cannonballs around the boat from the Western telescope, and said with a little disappointment.

In fact, he was also unlucky, as the governor of Caojiang, he only arrived in Guazhou on the thirteenth, but who would have thought, but only four days later, this Zheng army had already arrived in the city, but as early as yesterday, he sent his subordinates to Caoyun Governor Kang Deshi to ask for reinforcements.

"My lord, it's rare that they can hit the cannon so quickly on the river, in a small opinion, this time the Zheng thief must want to attack the Mufu camp, and when they get closer, when the time comes, the big guy will fire again, and it will definitely make this Zheng thief come and go!" When the time comes, these pirates will definitely know the prestige of the adults. ”

The master's sycophant on the side did not make Zhu Yizhu feel easy, ignoring the master's sincerity, Zhu Yizhu ordered the subordinates around him again.

"Come, send someone to Kangde, and tell him that if he doesn't send reinforcements again, he won't blame ......"

Before he finished his words, he saw that the boat seemed to be throwing stones, and a figure jumped straight into the river, although he was a flag man, he didn't understand water at all, but he had been the governor of the river for several years, and he had heard more or less about the purpose of the water ghost team, and he would immediately exclaim when he saw the water ghost.

"Water ghosts!"
