Chapter 134: One to one, two to a pair
"Xiangyang No. 1" is lying across the river, facing the attack of two centipede ships, one upstream of "Xiangyang No. 1" and the other downstream, the two centipede ships and "Xiangyang No. 1" are in a parallel position, like sandwich biscuits "Xiangyang No. 1" in the middle.
Although the "Xiangyang No. 1" was in a passive situation, it was also in the best position to destroy the enemy ships, because the "Xiangyang No. 1" was equipped with 28 artillery pieces on the port side and port, and among the 28 guns, there were 25 heavy Franc machines and three Hongyi cannons.
The fifty thousand-pound Buddha machines and twelve Hongyi cannons on the ship fired at the same time, and the earth-shattering sound of the cannons made the soldiers only use gestures to express their meanings, because the sound of speech was completely inaudible.
The thick black smoke covered the sky over the "Xiangyang No. 1", and the sky was still clear just now, but suddenly it seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and the sky suddenly became gloomy. The darkness of the sky didn't matter, the key was the choking smell of gunpowder, which was very pungent, and many people were so excited that they shed tears.
Due to being pinched by the centipede ship, both sides of the command cabin were attacked by iron balls, the iron balls hit the appearance of the iron armor of the command cabin, and then rolled down on the deck, the iron armor is a thickened iron plate, so there is no deformation, looking at the command cabin of the two centipede ships from a distance, it was hit by the iron ball of "Xiangyang No. 1" and the top cover was missing, and the people inside ran to the deck.
Gao Junshan heard Zhou Wenjiang shouting loudly in the rumbling cannon and ordered the flag soldiers to shout: "The port side gun position is shifted to the right by five points!" ”
Ling Qijun immediately issued an order, and Gao Junshan looked at the centipede boat on the left to see what effect Zhou Wenjiang's order would have.
Another burst of cannon sounded, the port gun let out an angry roar, and shot the angry iron balls at the enemy ship, these iron balls were concentrated in the middle of the forward position in the forward position, the iron balls smashed this place out of a big hole, and dozens of iron balls penetrated into the big hole, and it didn't take long to see the people in the front cabin running to the deck, and then Gao Junshan saw that the front cabin began to catch fire, the fire became bigger and bigger, and then there was an explosion.
It must have hit the enemy's powder magazine. Gao Junshan nodded with satisfaction in his heart, this Zhou Wenjiang really has two brushes.
"It's starting to sink! It's starting to sink! ”
The sound of cheers interrupted Gao Junshan's contemplation, and he quickly raised his eyes to look at the centipede boat on the left, and sure enough, in the midst of the fire, the centipede ship was already sinking, and the people on the boat were crying and shouting into the water.
"The enemy ships are starting to flee! The enemy ships are starting to flee! ”
Gao Junshan heard someone shouting again, he turned his face to look at the centipede boat on the right, only to see that the boat was no better, it was scattered by heavy artillery, and it became a broken ship that could still move.
The sound of the cannon finally stopped, everything became so quiet, and the sun gradually showed a smile.
In this battle, one was sunk, one was destroyed, and one was severely damaged.
Sun Dahai, the general of the navy, led his fleet to chase the fleeing centipede boat, but the destroyed one was already empty, and Zhou Wenjiang had it dragged to the shore as a trophy.
After the battle, Gao Junsan ordered the fleet to dock, and the team camped on the shore to prepare for the attack on Hanyang.
On this day, Gao Junshan was discussing how to break Hanyang in the tent of the Chinese army, and Tian Fang, deputy of the detective team, hurriedly came to report.
Gao Junshan was very happy to see Tian Fang, and said: "Ji Miao (Tian Fangzi), you came in time, we are preparing to fight Hanyang, and we want to hear your information." ”
Tian Fang saluted and said, "King Qin, I have brought you two people, they are very familiar with Hanyang. ”
"Then invite them in!"
Tian Fang was not in a hurry, and said, "King Qin, let me report to you about the situation of these two people first. ”
"Okay!"
Tian Fang said: "These two people, one is named Zhang Yize, and the other is Li Shirong. Zhang Yize is a water thief in this area, with tens of thousands of horses scattered around Wuchang, they are familiar with the terrain, if there is their support, we will attack Hanyang and Wuchang will get twice the result with half the effort. Li Shirong was a student who had a wide range of contacts on the ground in Wuchang, and he was able to provide useful help for us to open up the situation after we occupied Wuchang. ”
"You mean, these two people ......"
Tian Fang explained: "These two people are coming to join the King of Qin, I took it upon myself to agree to them first, and now they are waiting for your summons outside the tent." ”
"You're doing it right!" Gao Junshan praised Tian Fang, "Hurry up and invite them in!" ”
Soon after Tian Fang withdrew from the big tent, he brought two strangers, these two, one was burly and dressed in blue armor; The other said that he was wearing a square scarf on his head, a large-sleeved silk satin shirt inside, and a cloud-shouldered wide-sleeved mopping open robe.
When the two of them saw Gao Junshan, they bowed their heads: "Zhang Yize and Li Shirong pay a visit to King Qin!" ”
"Get up and speak!" Gao Junshan first asked the strong man dressed as a military general, "You are Zhang Yize, right?" ”
"Exactly down there."
"I've heard that you have tens of thousands of people under your command. What is your strategy for attacking Hanyang this time? ”
Zhang Yize said: "King Qin, there are not many people taking Hanyang, as long as King Qin gives an order, I am willing to be a pawn and lead my men and horses to attack the city first." I have already installed a number of strong men in the city, mixed in with the poor people in various capacities, and they will cooperate with us in the city as long as we attack the city. ”
Li Shirong on the side also said: "Before attacking the city, I am willing to enter the city first for the king of Qin, contact my people, and act together with Zhang Yize's men and horses in the city." ”
Gao Junshan said happily: "Okay, it's up to the two of you." You two stand down first, and wait for my command. Then he said to Tian Fang, "Ji Miao, please take them to the side tent to rest." ”
Speaking of which, the two happily said goodbye, and Tian Fang led them out of the big tent.
Gao Junshan immediately set about arranging for the generals to participate in the siege, and he asked Xu Yixian, the military advisor beside him, "Mr. Xu, what do you think of this attack on Hanyang?" ”
Xu Yixian replied: "King Qin, I don't know if those two are reliable. ”
Gao Junshan didn't have as much thought as Xu Yixian, as for whether the two people just now really came to descend, he absolutely believed in Tian Fang, Tian Fang was a disciple of Chongwen, a person he believed in 100%, and he had no reason not to believe those who had been inspected by Tian Fang. But for Xu Yixian's worries, Gao Junshan also gave relief: "Mr. Xu's worries are not unreasonable, we should take more precautions, and there is no need to worry too much." ”
Xu Yixian hurriedly explained: "It's just a reminder below." ”
Gao Junshan nodded and said, "I have received your wishes." Which general do you think is the most appropriate to send to work with Zhang Yize? ”
Xu Yixian said: "I think it's enough to send Li Dingguo's Eighth Brigade to go." I still know him well in Dingguo, he has the true biography of Zhang Xianzhong, he has a set of leading soldiers, and he is also a tough guy. ”
Xu Yixian used to be Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor, so he knew Li Dingguo, Gao Junshan did not reject Xu Yixian's proposal, but only sent Sun Dahai, the general of the navy, to carry out this task with Li Dingguo.
Gao Junshan considered that most of Zhang Yize's men and horses were water thieves, and his intention to send Sun Dahai was also very clear, that is, he wanted Sun Dahai to collect Zhang Yize's men, and Zhang Yize had tens of thousands of people under him.
