Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Attack on Nanjin

There is a lake south of Yueyang City. It's called South Lake. And there is a port on the South Lake, because it is in the south of Yueyang City, it is called Nanjin. And there is a stone rock near the left of Nanjin that goes deep into the South Lake, which is called Wasp Rock. I don't know why it got its name. But at this moment, this is the station of the Xuanshui Division of the Huang Dynasty.

The mouth of Nanhu Lake is narrow and connected to Dongting Lake. The water area is not less, and it is a famous port in Yueyang City. Although the natural port of Chenglingji was famous in later events, it had no reputation in this era, because it was taken by Nanjin Port.

During the Ming Dynasty, boarding ships in Yueyang were all from Nanjin Port. It can be said that the land and water are rushing.

And at this moment, he was requisitioned by Huang Chaoxuan, and there was no need to prepare much. It is used directly, and even many sailors in Huang Chaoxuan's fleet are sailors in this Nanjin Port, so in the battle of Dongting Lake, Huang Chaoxuan suffered heavy losses, and there was also a mourning in Nanjin Port.

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog. What can you do as a small people? I can only bear it silently.

Even after Huang Chaoxuan returned to Nanjin, because of his heavy losses, and some of the feelings of intensification, before Huang Chaoxuan recruited sailors, most of them still recruited fishermen, and half of them were recruited on the spot, but at this moment Huang Chaoxuan did not dare to go out of Nanhu, and almost all of the shortages were recruited from Nanhu.

Nanjin naturally has to bear the lion's share.

The people of Nanjin are almost all over the country, but they are helpless.

However, the format of the night changed.

At the mouth of Nanhu Lake, the water of Nanhu Lake flows into Dongting Lake continuously, many boats lower their sails with oars, slowly rowing in the dark night, although there is still the sound of water, but it is hidden in the waves of the lake, it is not obvious.

None of the ships were lit, except for one at the stern, but it was a night lantern, and when you looked from behind, you could see the sparkling lights of the fire, but from the front, you could not see it, and the light of Gaine was blocked by the ships.

First the small boats, then the big boats. Little by little, I went to Nanjin Port.

Zhou Fuchen stood on the boat, looking at the darkness outside the boat, the moonlight was bleak, and there seemed to be nothing. The starlight is even more embellished, and you can't even shine around yourself, and there is no same. Zhou Fuchen looked in the northeast direction, but he could see a fire. Large, large smotes, smudges. Visibility over there seems to be a little higher than in other directions.

Without him, where is Yueyang City.

In order to prevent sneak attacks, the lights are bright above and below the city. That's what it should be. It's just that they never expected that the firelight of Yueyang City seemed to have become the positioning and coordinates used by Zhou Fuchen to sneak attack Nanjin Port.

Of course, because of the distance. This positioning can only be approximate. Zhou Fuchen really relied on a guide.

These guides were sent to the door by Huang Chaoxuan.

Most of them were captives of the Huang Dynasty's Xuansuo Department, and most of them were natives of Nanjin Port.

For these people, who to give their lives to is not to sell their lives.

Under Zhou Fuchen's coercion and temptation, they naturally knew what to do.

For this assault, Zhou Fuchen made a lot of preparations, but at the moment he fell into darkness. The mountains on both sides of the river are like beasts hidden in the dark. It's always worrying.

"My lord, the person in front of me said that it has arrived." An officer came to Zhou Fuchen's side and said, "Where is Wasp Rock." After wasp rock, it is Nanjin Port. ”

Zhou Fuchen looked at it with his eyes, and could only see a faint shadow, and he couldn't see anything else. said: "Let the people below pay attention." Get ready to get your hands dirty. ”

"Yes." The man who came agreed to go down.

Then a light came on, and then someone carried the lamp, surround it up and down, and the light drew a special trajectory in the darkness.

Flags during the day, wolf smoke, lights and fireworks at night, this is the most efficient way to transmit information in this era.

With the issuance of this order, the originally strict lighting control was also relaxed little by little.

After all, it is very difficult to sail in the dark, but many soldiers cannot complete the preparation before the attack.

Nanjin Port, Wasp Rock.

There is a wooden watchtower here. There were a few soldiers on duty at night.

Although it was summer, the wind from the lake came from above the lake, and it was still a little cold when they stood a few feet above the ground, so they came closer to the campfire, and they were talking about the fire, and somehow they talked about the war.

"Big guy, when do you think this battle will last?"

"Shhhh If you say too much, be careful that someone will cure you for a crime that will disturb the morale of the army. “

"I'm just here to talk about who will tell you how many of our brothers will tell."

"Alright, alright, don't say that."

For a moment, several people fell silent.

The fluctuation of military morale is not only a problem that Li Guo has to face, but also a problem that Huang Chaoxuan has to face, under a big defeat, so many people are killed in battle, so many people are captured, and the rest of the people have no complaints. After all, people are not units of force in computers.

However, Huang Chaoxuan chose to suppress, so under heavy pressure, it is natural for the soldiers to dare to be angry and not dare to speak.

"What's that?" A man looks south.

In his eyes, it seemed that the galaxy was spreading out in front of him, one after another, and countless lights outlined the outlines of ships.

"Enemy attack -----" would be a little stupid if you still don't understand what is going on at this time.

"When, dangdang, dangdang----" The sound of the dense alarm bell rang, rang in one place, and responded everywhere. One

Time seems to have woken up the entire port of Nanjin. Before the enemy could attack, the port of Nanjin was in chaos, and the sound of chaos and noise could be heard everywhere.

Huang Chaoxuan just pulled a piece of clothing and put it on his body and came out with an escort. At a glance, he saw the fleet of ships to the south, almost approaching the port, only a dozen feet apart from each other, and still approaching rapidly. If you get a little closer, the enemy can rush directly from the pier to the shore.

How could Huang Chaoxuan not be anxious.

But he couldn't be more anxious.

I also had to straighten out the people first. If you don't put a good job in order, rushing up is just delivering food.

As Huang Chaoxuan expected. Rumbling cannons rang out.

The sailors of the Xia army did not hesitate to pour cannonballs on the shore, in fact, the accuracy of the cannons in this era was already very gratifying. In the darkness, there were no specific targets, almost all of them were indiscriminate, except for a few unlucky ones, who were hit by shells. It didn't hurt at all.

However, this does not mean that such shelling is useless.

The sound of the cannon itself is a weapon, and the rumbling of the cannon in the darkness is earth-shattering. Xia Jun himself was already familiar with it, and he didn't care at all. And the originally chaotic Nanjin Port became more and more chaotic at the sound of cannons.

Huang Chaoxuan's originally assembled personnel became more and more nervous under the sound of artillery, and some of the soldiers hid in the corners themselves, not daring to come out.

These are fine.

What made Huang Chaoxuan even more uncontrollable was the people of Nanjin Port.

You must know that Nanjin Port is a big port, almost more than the ordinary people in a small county. Even though Huang Chaoxuan was stationed here, he occupied a lot of places. But there are still many places where people live. Huang Chaoxuan could not drive all the local people away for the sake of garrison.

In the darkness, hundreds of people are like frightened birds.

When they heard the rumbling of cannons, they fled in all directions.

If the others hide in their own homes, they may not have any problems, but when they come out and run around, they have no known number of problems. The speed of the assembly that slowed down the Huang Dynasty's Xuansuo Department was only one of them, and there were still many people who trampled to death in the dark.

There are even some places that are in chaos and don't know how to catch fire.

When Huang Chaoxuan saw this situation, he almost wanted to cry without tears.

It seems that Zhou Fuchen sailed a hundred miles at night in the dark night, and was not discovered before the end of Nanjin Port, and he was already victorious. Before the assault was fought, the enemy himself fell. Zhou Fuchen expanded his appetite even more.

Originally, he just wanted to burn it down, so that the Ming army would have no sailors available. But now this situation made Zhou Fuchen can't help but have new ideas, and said secretly: "I may be able to plunder a large number of ships and go back." ”

You must know that Zhang Xuan decided to bypass Yueyang City, and what he lacked the most was ships.
