Chapter 133: The Battle of Little Lonely Mountain

The core of the Qing army was the Eight Banners.

However, the number of soldiers of the Eight Banners is limited, although the population of the Eight Banners breeds in the middle of entering the customs, but they want to make up for the shortage of those who died in battle. But it is not enough. Moreover, the soldiers of the Eight Banners are not as good as the generation. The people below may be arrogant and savage, and they really think that the Eight Banners are less than 10,000 and 10,000 are invincible.

But Dordor was a sober man.

Not only Duoduo, but also Dolgon and other Manchu princes can be called contemporary first-rate figures.

Naturally, this is also very clear, and now the Qing army is looking for collaborators in many things, Li Chengdong and Wu Sangui are in power, and they have heavy troops. is an example, and the generals in the northwest of the Ming army were also reused one by one. The Northwest Green Camp of later generations also began to originate.

However, Duoduo couldn't make up his mind for a while, and said, "Let Anqing City go for the time being." I'll see how Zhang Xuan starts. ”

A big battle, the curtain has begun. There is still some time before you really want to go into orgasm.

The armies of the two sides held each other still, as if they did not know, and a few miles away was where the other army's army was, and the battle was as quiet as a pool of water. But it seems to be calm, but it is bottomless.

And above the Yangtze River, the big war has already begun.

On the Yangtze River, there is a dangerous place near the left of Anqing, which is Xiaogu Mountain.

Xiaogu Mountain is an isolated island in the river, the lonely peak on it is abrupt, it is called Chuzhai Wuguan, and it is the most dangerous. And where the Qing army blockaded the Yangtze River, it was here, as if it was a stone, blocking the Yangtze River.

Huangwu is stationed here, and there is a Qixiu Temple on it in peacetime. It can also be regarded as a place of interest. Looking at the Yangtze River from above, it is also a different scenery. But at this moment, all the monks of Qixiu Temple were driven away. It is called where the Huangwu station is located.

Huangwu is based on a small lonely mountain, which is full of artillery.

The water of the Yangtze River is divided into two streams by Xiaogushan, one narrow and the other wide. The main channel is probably the north and the south is narrow, but not impassable.

It's just that these two waterways have separate iron cable piles. It's just that the northern waterway is wide and dark. Therefore, many of the arrangements are difficult to build, but three iron cables are put down on both sides. Plus the artillery blockade on the small lonely mountain. And the southern waterway was already turbulent, and Huang Wu didn't know that it was in it, so he didn't know how many secret hands he had added.

Zhou Fuchen took a small boat and arrived at Xiaogu Mountain to watch.

saw a small boat, haunted by the turmoil, and there were only two or three people around Zhou Fuchen. Dress up as a fisherman. Look at it from afar. There was no mistake at all, but if you looked around, you could see clearly, although these few were wearing the fisherman's tattered clothes, they were all extremely strong. There is also a literati, even if they are all dressed in fisherman's clothes, they can't hide their own temperament.

Zhou Fuchen looked carefully with a clairvoyant mirror, and his attention was focused on the small lonely mountain.

The barrage cables, forts and other measures are all in the eyes. It's just that he didn't really see it, and said, "Come closer." ”

"My lord, don't come any closer." The attendant beside Zhou Fuchen said: "Further on, I will meet Dongyu's ship. ”

Zhou Fuchen then said: "Okay. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a ship appear suddenly, and a small cannon hit it above, and the cannonball hit not far away. Stir up waves and splash their heads on several people. A few people were not paying attention, even if they were not covered by a coat, they were soaked.

They hurriedly turned around and went back.

This Qing warship did not necessarily rush to kill them, and saw them go. And he turned back.

"Master, let's put it on quickly." Someone immediately ripped off Zhou Fuchen's wet clothes.

Zhou Fuchen was like a wooden shelf, letting people change clothes, but he said to the literati: "Sir, what do you think is the key to this battle?" ”

This literati is a long history in the army, and he can be regarded as Zhou Fuchen's staff, and he is also from the imperial examination, and Zhou Fuchen has to ask him whenever he is willing to fight with the Qing army.

Changshi smiled slightly and said: "Master Hou is knowingly asking, naturally it is a small lonely mountain, and it will not break the small lonely mountain." I'm afraid I won't be able to move an inch. ”

Zhou Fuchen had already changed into a brocade robe, flicked the placket, and said: "I, Zhou, have been a water master since Runing lifted the water, and now I have ten years of experience. It is impossible to talk about invincible battles and invincible attacks. But he is also known as the world's famous sailor. ”

"It's just a matter of competing for dominance on land. If you still want to press me on the water, you have to look at my Zhou's means, go back, and gather generals. ”

"Yes." Zhou Fuchen's personal guards, seeing that Zhou Fuchen said that his ambition was high, also cheered up and said.

After Zhou Fuchen returned, he immediately gathered a large army, and countless ships gathered on the Yangtze River. Almost all over the river. Zhou Fuchen has already decided to take Xiaogushan regardless of the two sides of the strait. As long as Xiao Gushan is a little bit, other places will be solved.

Shi Lang asked Zhou Fuchen for his life and said: "I know Huang Wu best, and I am willing to be the vanguard of the army and attack Xiaogu Mountain." ”

Although Shi Lang is arrogant. But he is not an inflexible person, and now that he has the intention of serving Zhang Xuan, he naturally wants to behave, although he hated Zhou Fuchen in the palace that day, when he arrived in the army, he became honest and gave advice to Zhou Fuchen.

Shi Lang is indeed a talent in the water war. It can be said that it is a family history, better than ordinary people, etc., although Zhou Fuchen is above the water war, he has been trained. But in the water war, it may not be comparable to Shi Lang, who has a family history.

Seeing that Shi Lang was talented, he naturally saw a little more care.

It's just that Shi Lang wants to lead the troops, but he owes some. At this moment, Zhou Fuchen thought about it and said, "Okay, there is General Lao." ”

Of course, Shi Lang was not appointed too high an official, but he was just in charge of a warship.

At the sound of an order, the army sailed down the river.

"Boom, boom, boom." The cannons roared, and for a while, Xiao Gushan didn't know how many cannons were roaring. The cannon fell into the Yangtze River, and for a while I don't know how many water columns rose to the sky, and then fell on the water surface, as if it were a storm.

Wet almost all the sails.

The power of the cannon is by no means limited to this, but the power avoids these, the fleet arranged by Zhou Fuchen is mixed with large and small ships, and the cannons of the big ships roar and roar towards the small lonely mountain. The small boats, light boats, are each boat, which can only accommodate twenty or thirty people, and each of them is only dressed in a single coat, and it is neatly tied.

You can't wear armor on the boat, because if you wear armor, once you fall into the water, there is almost no way to survive, so you just take it lightly. Dressed in single clothes, holding a long knife and a spear. Just waiting to land.

"Boom." A cannon smashed into a ship, instantly penetrating a ship. Dozens of people sank in an instant, and a piece of blood appeared above the water.

On the Yangtze River, the earth shakes the mountains. Xiaogushan Huangwu is condescending, and it is very real. The big boat is like a mountain, and the small boat is like a swimming fish, shuttling back and forth.

Huang Wu sneered and said, "It's time to fight." ”

As soon as the flag was waved at the top of the mountain, dozens of boats rushed out of the southern waterway. Like an arrow from the string, it crashed into the Xia army's fleet.

This change was unexpected by Zhou Fuchen.

Last time, the Qing army sailors took the opportunity to come out. Give Zhou Fuchen a dismount. Zhou Fuchen still didn't see the Qing army's sailors in his eyes. This is a kind of discrimination, even if Zhou Fuchen knows that many of these sailors are Fujian sailors, he still looks down on them.

Therefore, when Zhou Fuchen attacked Xiaogu Mountain, he did not take the Qing army sailors in his eyes at all.

At this time, something happened suddenly. Zhou Fuchen stood up abruptly on the warship. secretly regretted in his heart, and said secretly: "I missed a trick." ”

Because it is necessary to attack Xiaogushan, many small boats are dispatched, and these small boats are light and can even directly rush to the tidal flats of Xiaogushan. It's good to go ashore and fight. But these small boats have no more than a foot of draft, and only two feet on the side of the boat, so they are light. But in water warfare, there is not much power.

Even those big ships, without artillery bombardment, directly pressed over and sank the ships. There was no power to fight back at all, although there were some big ships mixed in, but they were also preparing to bombard the Xiaogushan Battery, and there was no defense against the sudden appearance of ships. Naturally, he was caught off guard for a while.
