Chapter 574: Water Battle on the Yangtze River

What is the most uncomfortable thing in this world? I'm afraid the taste of waiting for others is definitely one of them.

At first, Tokugawa Hidetada and Ye Xun joined forces to kill Ono, and later Ono wanted to unite with Ye Xun to kill the Tokugawa family, it seems that no matter who he unites, Ye Xun will be the final winner.

In fact, it is not, because the little devils are not stupid, and there are also many traitors around them, and they all see that Ye Xun will be the final beneficiary.

You must know that from ancient times to the present, the little devil's ambition for the Central Plains has never been extinguished.

Now the most powerful military in Daming is Ye Xun's men, if they can kill Ye Xun, then they are the biggest beneficiaries, and they can also do whatever they want in Daming.

The ignorant are fearless, and the two people who contacted Ye Xun at the same time soon hooked up with each other under the prodding of someone with a heart, and then jointly laid a trap for Ye Xun's fleet in the Ryukyu Sea.

I have to say that the tactics of the little devils are still very appropriate, they know that the firepower is definitely inferior to the Ming army, so let's have a wolf pack tactic, the little devils conceited that as long as they step on the Ming army's warships, they will soon be able to control the Ming army's warships, and then turn the guns to bombard the Ming army's own warships.

The preparations were so well done that Watanabe was even waiting to open the champagne at Ono's to celebrate.

A series of information such as the Ming fleet going to sea and camping there had already been sent to Ono and them.

It's a pity that this is the end of it, the cucumber dishes are cold and I haven't seen the shadow of the Ming warship, Ono and Watanabe from hope, to doubt to disappointment, and the psychological gap can not be described in a few words...

Also anxiously waiting for the enemy to appear were Duan Yun and An Wanshan's subordinate generals such as Duan Yun and An Wanshan.

According to the information received, the enemy's fleet entered the mouth of the Yangtze River last night and was soon able to reach the waters of Jinling, but it waited until the sky was light, and did not wait for the shadow of the enemy's fleet.

If it weren't for the news coming from the front, Wu Dayong and the others would have thought that the enemy was scared away.

The commander-in-chief of the Jinling defense battle was naturally Cheng Yu, who heard that the enemy's fleet had stopped at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and immediately understood what the enemy meant.

In fact, what Ye Xun and the others were most worried about was this matter, if these locust-like pirates were allowed to run ashore, the consequences would not be imagined at all.

For this reason, Ye Xun has ordered Lu Chun, the defender of Yangzhou, to lead two battalions of the new army to ambush in the area of the mouth of the Yangtze River, as long as the enemy's ships dare to dock, they will be attacked head-on, and they must not be allowed to run to the shore to cause sabotage.

Time passed little by little, and the rising sun dispelled the fog on the river, and the vision suddenly became wider.

At this moment, it is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Wenyan in a hurry, he knows the energy of a few old guys, and it is okay to organize some people to destroy Jinling City, if Ye Xun's subordinates turn around, they are not enough to see at all, so he must take Jinling as quickly as possible, and then help Zhu Youzhen to take the position, only in this way can there be a glimmer of life.

It's just that the night voyage can't be fast at all, and when I reach the waters of Jinling, the sky is completely bright.

As if cooperating with Wang Wenyan, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded at the head of Jinling City, and from a distance, the soldiers in the city were also panicking around, as if they were frightened by the sudden appearance of the fleet.

Seeing this, the ragtag troops on Wang Wenyan's side immediately cheered, thinking that victory was in sight, but Wang Wenyan's heart sank, because he knew that the accomplices in the city were finished.

If the plan goes well, the city gate of Jinling should be wide open at this time, but now the city gate is closed, and the panicked appearance on the city is obviously deliberately pretended.

In a sense, Wang Wenyan at this moment is more like a gambler, if he wins, he is a very good minister, and there is no need to say if he loses, but now it seems that he has lost.

said that Wang Wenyan is like a gambler, but he is not a real gambler after all, because gamblers will not leave a way back for themselves, but he will.

"Pass the order down, rush into the city, Jinling's gold and silver beauties Ren Er and others will take it by themselves..."

Wang Wenyan meant to boost morale, but before his order could be passed on, it stopped abruptly like a rooster that had been trampled on the neck.

Not only Wang Wenyan, but also the ragtag soldiers who were cheering just now opened their mouths wide and looked ahead in disbelief after seeing the scene on the river clearly.

On the river, the No. 2 treasure ship is riding the wind and waves downstream, and behind the No. 2 treasure ship, there are countless warships of all kinds.

This is not the sea, the requirements for ships are not so strict, the naval warship was taken away by Ye Xun, but the Ming army also has a sailor on the river! The Donglin Party only paid attention to the naval warships, but ignored the naval division warships on the river.

This is not a trick, and any omission is fatal.

The Ming army's sailors went down the river, and before the miscellaneous troops could react, the artillery on the No. 2 treasure ship began to wield.

"Boom..."

Because it was head-on, the guns on the side of the treasure ship could not come in handy, but even this was enough to scare the ragtag army, and soon some ships began to turn around.

But nearly a hundred chaotic ships are coming against the current, and it is so easy to turn around? And in this case, the busier and more chaotic, the ships are crowded, and soon there are ships that are overturned by the ships of their accomplices.

In this case, the Ming warship did not need to aim at all, and it was enough to shoot indiscriminately.

"Boom, boom..."

Under the continuous artillery fire, one of the ships was soon blown up and set on fire, and then the fire grew bigger and bigger, and even the nearby ships were affected.

Seeing this, Wang Wenyan knew that this battle could not be fought, so he glanced at several of his subordinates, and told his subordinates to continue to resist in the language of a flag, while he himself quietly walked off the main ship and rowed to the shore in a small boat under the protection of a few henchmen.

Wang Wenyan knew very well that his main ship would inevitably be the key target of the Ming army, and if he didn't run away, even if he wasn't captured, he would have to become a grilled fish.

There are not a few people like Wang Wenyan who run away when they see that the situation is not good, so Wang Wenyan's boat did not attract the attention of Duan Yun, who was commanding on the No. 2 treasure ship, because he knew that there were also troops waiting for these garbage troops on the shore, and they had no way to escape.

Tian Siqing ingeniously installed iron armor on the treasure ship, so that after sinking the enemy ship in front, the treasure ship did not slow down at all, and rushed all the way into the fleet of the miscellaneous army.

At this time, the fleet of the miscellaneous army was completely disorganized, because there were too many ships, although the front had begun to sink, the warships behind were spared, and they turned their bows one after another, puffed up their sails and went down the river, and began to flee for their lives.

On the side of the Ming army, under the leadership of the treasure ship, the fleet also pursued without slowing down.

As far as the eye can see, the river is full of ships that gradually sink after the fire, countless rebels who escaped death, some of them struggling to swim to the shore, and some are still floating in the water and stretching out their hands to call for rescue, but unfortunately the Ming fleet has no one to pay attention to them at all, the ships sail mercilessly, and the water surface soon returns to calm.

These rebels who sank to the bottom of the river are destined to contribute to the Yangtze River aquaculture industry.

Those who finally swam to the shore did not go well, and when they stood by the river empty-handed and looked around blankly, they soon found that they were surrounded by countless Ming troops.

It's just that the river bank is too long, and there will be fish that slip through the net after all...
