Chapter 446: Shi Lang's army is defeated

Shi Lang's fleet was defeated and retreated for several miles, and this time it lost nearly a hundred warships and thousands of generals.

So far, Shi Lang's army has suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and there will be more than 200 large and small warships. In fact, the winner is decided.

"Commander, retreat quickly, the firepower of the Ming army is too fierce...... one of Shi Langlang's lieutenants persuaded.

"It must not be withdrawn." Shi Lang's eyes were cracked. It became like this just after the war, and Shi Lang was really unwilling.

There hasn't been a war in so many days. During this period, Yan Yingyuan insisted on not fighting, he and his uncle Shi Fu tried every means to lure the enemy, so the Ming army did not dare to fight, and now the Ming army finally opened the battlefield with them, but was defeated by the Ming army, so how can he be embarrassed by this great commander!

It seems that he is too light on the enemy, this Lin Jianguo is really extraordinary, Shi Lang regrets it a little.

This is not to blame him, he has always been invincible in water warfare, as long as the enemy dares to fight, he will win every battle. He and his uncle Shi De cooperate very tacitly, Shi De is brave, good at attacking cities and arranging troops.

Unexpectedly, he was planted in the water war first.

If he withdraws like this, not to mention how King Zheng explains, his uncle will be in danger.

He knew that at this time his uncle must have led a large army to attack Zhenjiang City, in order to cooperate with the actions of his sailors, they had set a plan to advance by land and water, preparing to make the Ming army unbearable, and now if his sailors were defeated and retreated, it would be equivalent to giving his uncle's flank to the Ming army, and the consequences were self-evident.

Since it can't be defeated or defeated, we have to find another way to stop this naval division of the Ming army.

Shi Lang even thought of it at that time, he wanted to learn from Yan Yingyuan and build a protective network to block the river underwater, but unfortunately Lin Yi's battleship formation was menacing, advancing quickly, with fierce firepower and indestructible, and he was no longer given this opportunity.

However, Shi Lang deserved to be a military strategist, and soon thought of a way, seeing that the river in this area was narrow, he could seek fire support from the shore, deploy artillery on the river bank, block the river with firepower, and rent this fleet.

Shi Lang just thought of this, and there was a whistling in the air, and a cannonball flew in the air.

"Great Commander, be careful."

Before the words fell, there was a boom, and the cannonball exploded above Shi Lang's head.

Shi Lang and several other nearby generals were overturned on the boat on the spot, and a few of them slipped into the river and fluttered and struggled.

The mast of this big ship was blown off by this cannon on the spot, causing the hull of the ship to shake violently, and several soldiers on board fell into the river one after another like dumplings.

The hull of the ship caught fire, and the soldiers on the ship quickly put out the fire after stabilizing their bodies.

After Shi Lang got up from the deck, he found that he was not injured, and under the protection of the general, he abandoned the wrecked ship and got on a good ship.

Shi Lang led the remnants of his defeated army to retreat while fighting, so as to cover his soldiers to deploy artillery on the shore, and after retreating for a few miles, the forts on the shore were erected. More than a dozen red-coated cannons are enough to block the river here, not to mention a giant ship like the Yangwei, even a small fishing boat can not pass through.

At this time, Shi Lang had already abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, took his guards to the fort, saw Lin Yi's fleet through the telescope, and drove over majestically, and when the model reached the firing range, Shi Lang ordered the cannon to be fired.

The subordinate generals lit the torches and the gunpowder fuses emitted white smoke with a soft snorting sound, "Boom, boom." "A shell whistled out and hit a Ming ship in the river, and several soldiers were blown away. The Ming ship caught fire, and smoke billowed from it.

Immediately after that, more than a dozen red-clothed cannons roared one after another, and the earth also shook the mountains, and the water columns in the river were like mountains, rising and falling.

Through the monoculars, Shi Lang could clearly see that on the river in the distance, two of the warships escorted by the Ming giant ship Yangwei flanked were hit by red-coated cannons and caught fire, and the Ming army was shaken into the water, and some of them caught fire and had to jump into the river, and the remaining soldiers hurried to put out the fire.

One of them was blown up by the waist, and the hull of the ship disintegrated in an instant, and the Ming troops on the ship fell into the water one after another, and the river became lively.

The battleship formation of the Yangwei defeated the enemy twice, and was suddenly attacked by artillery fire from the shore, and Lin Yi immediately locked onto the target through the telescope.

"Order all flotillas, concentrate fire, and fire in this direction!" Lin Yi said, gesturing in the direction of two o'clock.

The red-coated cannon on the top floor of the Yang Wei immediately turned its direction after hearing the order, and the five red-coated cannons on the left side immediately aimed at the direction specified by Lin Yi, with five loud bangs, and the first round of five cannonballs flew out one after another.

Then the giant ship turned its rudder, swinging its huge body and making a 180-degree turn in the river, aiming at the five heavy guns on the right side, and five shells flew to the shore one after another. Ten shells from a redcoat cannon of more than a ton bombarded it in two batches.

At the same time, the ships accompanying the Yangwei also opened fire on the batteries of the adjudicators on the shore......

"Well fought, aimed at the giant ship of the Ming army and opened fire!" Shi Lang saw that these cannons were too enjoyable, if they could hit this giant ship, this fleet would be paralyzed, and then their sailors would be able to rush over and annihilate this Ming army, capture or behead Lin Yi alive.

But as soon as Shi Lang's words fell, a volley of cannonballs flew from the middle of the river and accurately hit the fort.

A red-coated cannon in the fort was already aimed at the Yangwei, everything was ready, and when a soldier lit a fire with a torch, a cannonball flew in, and with a bang, several generals in charge of the cannon were blown away. Then the battery collapsed, and the cannon crushed the soldier who had lit the fire into a meatloaf.

"Great Commander, be careful......" Shi Lang's guards hurriedly escorted him, quickly withdrew from the battery, and found cover.

Shells flew one after another, and the rebel batteries on the shore bloomed one after another, and the judgments on the batteries were blown up to the ground with corpses, staining the batteries with blood, and the rest scattered and fled. Within a few minutes, Shi Lang and the dozen red-clothed cannons they had just built were all dumb.

The artillery fire was fierce, Shi Lang and they lay in the ravine and did not dare to raise their heads, and after this round of shelling, Shi Lang seemed to come out of the stove pit, covered in soil, his face was smoky and burning, and the battle robes behind him were also ignited by the artillery fire, and his personal guards were even more embarrassed by this round of artillery bombardment.

"Grown, go!" After this round of shelling, his subordinates urged.

"Poof," Shi Lang did not run away, but spit out the Saturn that had collapsed into his mouth, stared at his bun-like eyes, picked up the telescope again, and saw that the Yangwei formation had already sailed over, and he shouted: "Restore the battery immediately, quickly!" ”

Saying that, he took matters into his own hands, pulled the corpse aside, and rebuilt the fort, and his soldiers understood his intentions, this was to use the aftermath!

Everyone carried the bloody corpse aside, restored the damaged fort, and helped the red-coated cannon that was blown up, as well as a few usable guns, and then adjusted the illuminator and the front sight, and the person responsible for loading and loading the medicine was also in place.

If these shells are all sent to the Yangwei, it will be enough for the surname Lin!

After doing all this, Shi Lang was so tired that he was covered in sweat, and then he looked at the more bells and whistles on his face, which was almost the same as Hua Dan who was singing, but he ignored it completely and shouted: "Aim at that giant ship and shoot me!" ”

But before his words fell, someone ran over, this person was covered in blood, embarrassed, and his military boots were gone, "The Great Commander is not good...... The boss commander Shi Fu's army was defeated and captured, and the Ming army chased after him......"

"What?" Shi Lang came over and grabbed the collar of his armor.

Shi Langzhi is struggling to support here, just to wait for his uncle's news, but he didn't expect it to be bad news, not only defeated, but also fell into the hands of the Ming army, the consequences must be unimaginable, although this is his clan uncle and not his own uncle, but it is his arm, and the defeat of the army on the shore is tantamount to making matters worse for their sailors. Therefore, Shi Lang couldn't accept it at all, thinking that he had heard it wrong, his uncle had always been brave and good at fighting, and he was good at using soldiers, and for more than a year, the Ming army in Zhenjiang did not dare to fight, how could he lose so badly today? Could it be that their uncle and nephew are limited to each other, and they can't sympathize with each other?

The military general who reported the incident was out of breath and told the details of the story, and just halfway through the speech, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from far and near......
