By the time the Qujiang encounter began, Cui Chengru's 4th Battalion and 2nd Company had covertly occupied a hill opposite Biaozi Mountain.

Biaozi Mountain Stone Village is located on the top of Biaozi Mountain, overlooking the river, and a steep zigzag stone staircase road can go down to the humble trestle bridge on the bank of the river. The area of the stone village is very small, but there are steep slopes on both sides, and there are cliffs more than ten zhang high on the other side. The only way to attack was to start from the hill at Cui Chengru's feet and approach the stone village through an undulating saddle-shaped mountain beam between the two mountains. But the mountain beams not only have an uphill and downhill slope, but also are very narrow, and the top is full of rocks. If you attack through this mountain beam, the Protector Army can only deploy a maximum of one platoon at a time.

Cui Chengru hid behind a large rock on the mountain beam and observed the stone village.

From his position, you can clearly see the walled wall and the swaying figures on the wall, but you can't see the gate. The guide pointed him in the direction of the wall, and said that he turned right under the wall, and then turned left after about 20 steps, and the gate was at this corner.

The walled gate is actually not a door, but a small stone cave. One had to bend down and get into it, and then climb the ladder up the wall. If you don't want to risk drilling the wall, you can also choose to climb the wall. The wall was less than a foot high, and only six feet in a few places collapsed. As for the village, it is very simple, except for a few rotten houses, there is nothing.

"How many people are in there?"

"I don't know! Last night, the little one told the generals hundreds of times, but the generals just didn't believe it...... The bandits came from the river, and no one in the village saw them. Later, the bandits went down the mountain to enter the village and encouraged us to join the church, and the people in the village knew that the bandits occupied the stone village on the top of the mountain! ”

I heard that the intelligence bureau is very good at interrogating people, and maybe the guide was tortured. Cui Chengru comforted the villager and said: "It's not that I don't believe you, you can't be sloppy in the war, and if you make a mistake, you will die!" ”

When the guide heard that the man was about to die, he howled: "General! Xiaomin knows all about it! Please spare me! I have a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old child......

This place is less than 100 steps away from the wall, and the guide howled, Cui Chengru's brother Cui Chengjian grabbed the guide and shouted softly: "Stop! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will stab you to death! ”

Looking at the frightened villagers, Cui Chengru gave his brother a look and warned him not to break discipline. When they slipped back to the hidden assembly area, Cui Chengru stopped Cui Chengjian and said, "I decided to attack Biaozi Village at night!" Seventh brother, you go down the mountain to report to the battalion commander and request that the attack be postponed until the evening! ”

His brother listened to the order, but he hesitated. He reminded: "Big brother, the regiment commander ordered our battalion to quickly take Biaozi Mountain, and then transfer troops to Luodu, and fight with the Shizi's sailors to prevent the White Lotus Sect bandits from running away." If you delay until the evening, if you ruin the plans of the world......"

"The enemy situation is unknown, how can we be completely sure of attacking such a stone village during the day? If there were 500 thieves in it, wouldn't it be miserable for us to attack it? How could the sailors' ships pass by the river and fire cannons, but how could they not be alert? Attacking during the day, they must resist desperately! I heard that the battalion commander was responsible for the night attack on Feixian Guanli, and he was still the leader of a small group in Chen Youfu's class at that time. Don't look at him as an honest peasant, he is very clever, and you can understand my thoughts when you hear him! ”

Cui Chengjian felt that his eldest brother's logic was wrong.

"Aren't the bandits more vigilant at night?"

"You can't be nervous all the time." Cui Chengru shook his head and explained, "If you are alert during the day, you will relax at night. I remember that in the past, we used to care for large families, staring at it all day during the day, and then falling asleep at night, and we couldn't wake up when we called. Besides, the eldest brother asked Liu Mingsheng. He said that the bandits here are not from the city of Guang'an, but some villagers from the neighborhood! ”

"Big brother, do you mean they have night blindness?"

"Look at the villagers here, so poor that the ditches and the finches are exposed! I haven't seen oil meat all year round, so it's no wonder if I'm not blind at night! At night, no amount of them is used! ”

After sending off his brother, Cui Chengru called him and two soldiers, one Liu Xi and one Cheng Zhu, both of whom were his old subordinates when he was the head of the courtyard.

"Company commander, you told us to climb the wall?" Liu Xi's surprised mouth was able to stuff an egg.

"Lord Baihu, I am the least daring, you know!" Cheng Zhu cried with a sad face, like his mother who had just died, "The wall is so high, I am thin, where can I climb up?" ”

Since Cui Chengru called the two of them, he prepared a speech early. He lowered his face and lectured the two of them:

"Our second company is from the background of the left guard, and we have never worked in the nursing home and guarded the Qinglou. Not to mention that the regiment commander, battalion commander and other companies look down on us, even the prince looks down on us! We have to fight for ourselves, don't embarrass the mother and son of the family! The commander of this company chose you two as pioneers, one is to give you two a chance to make a meritorious contribution! The second is that you all have the experience of climbing over walls and windows, and you are good enough and bold enough!

Liu Xi, your baby traveled twenty miles at night in the summer of the year before last, and made the belly of the sister in the west of Fengjiazhuang bigger, and then was tied up by the people of Fengjiazhuang to parade the streets, isn't it? If it weren't for Lao Tzu kneeling and kowtowing for you, your baby would have thrown the pit and dung a long time ago!

Cheng Zhu, your baby worked as a nurse in Tianxiang Building last spring, and climbed from the first floor to the window on the third floor during the third watch, peeking at the top girl called the top girl called the bed arch and was ......"

"Company commander, Lord Baihu, please don't say it! Let's climb the wall! ”

……

Cui Chengru postponed the attack on Biaozi Mountain, but the battle on the river had already reached its climax.

The centipede's bow cannon roared, and He Gui searched for bullets in the smoke. I saw that the spherical cannon flew out dozens of steps, but fell into the water not far from the stern of the enemy ship. The cannon first bounced on the water, and then caused a small splash on the right side of the enemy's stern.

"Didn't hit!"

He Gui slammed the gangway: "Double charge!" Thirty steps closer to the stern of the enemy ship and then put it down! ”

His tactical intent was to let the cannon enter the stern of the enemy ship, and the cannon could fly a longer distance from tail to head in the enemy ship, killing more enemies. Soon after the centipede ships and cannons were installed, this head-to-tail attack tactic was practiced.

He Gui gave the order, and Dai Huayi, the commander of the gunners, shouted loudly for the gunners to speed up the loading and clearing. Two silk medicine packets and a cannon were filled into the breech, and the seat was also rotated by manpower, and the muzzle direction was firmly stabilized on the butt of the enemy ship. Not long after, Zhang Cheng stepped forward to remind He Gui: "Captain, the enemy ship is starting to turn to the right. They know they can't run away, and they have to fight hard! ”

He Gui had already seen clearly the direction of the swing of the enemy ship's pole. He sneered: "They turn the rudder too slowly! Zhang Cheng, go full speed ahead and bite the butt of the enemy ship! ”

……

In the rapid rhythm of the drummer, Wang Jinbao pulled the paddle pole hard. His muscles were red and shiny, and he was constantly dripping sweat downward. The crooked partner on his left, gasping for air. Every time he pulled the paddle stick, he had to give a whoop.

Another cannon rang out, and Wang Jinbao was listening to the cheers from the foredeck behind him, when he heard a continuous bell ringing again in the helmsman's cabin in front of him, and then caught a glimpse of Uncle Li quickly pulling the rudder stick to the left side, and then the ship tilted to the port side.

"Left full rudder!" Wang Jinbao thought to himself, the centipede boat must be avoiding something in front of it. It's either an enemy ship, or a reef beach.

"Enemy ships!" Wang Jinbao heard a brother behind him exclaiming, "Just outside!" ”

"Don't look out! Concentrate on pulling the paddle! The oarsman growled hoarsely. His voice echoed through the low oarsman's cabin, even duffling the drumbeat.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! There were three roars in a row, which shook Wang Jinbao's head in a daze, followed by a burst of firecrackers. In the sound of the gun, Wang Jinbao suddenly felt that the oars in his hand were much heavier, and it was obvious that the partner on the left side was unloaded.

"Stuffy!" Wang Jinbao roared. Without waiting for the partner to react, the paddle pole began a new cycle in a blink of an eye. Wang Jinbao didn't have time to check on his partner's situation, he clenched his teeth, his legs desperately kicked the cabin, and his hands seemed to be torn off.

The heavy paddle shaft finally caught up with the rhythm of the drums.

"Stuffy Dun'er is dead!" The comrades-in-arms in the back reminded Wang Jinbao loudly, "Uncle Li seems to have hung up the lottery, and now Li Dawa is at the helm!" ”

……

The human head cannon was loaded with two cartridges, and at a distance of thirty paces, the cannon pierced the aft compartment of the enemy ship, destroying several of them, and then continued on his way, creating flying sharp wood chips along the way, piercing the enemies in their path. However, this cannon did not stop the trapped enemy from resisting.

The enemy ship had an iron cannon on the port side, as well as several three-eyed guns. When the centipede ship turned its rudder to avoid and overtook its own ship from the left rear, the enemy took the opportunity to fire a burst of guns before the tiger squat cannon could fire. Artillery bombardment at close range is more brutal than a volley of volleys of guns at close range. The scattered shotgun burrowed through the porthole of the centipede ship and immediately hit the stuffy dun in the oarsman's cabin and Uncle Li in the helmsman's cabin. A soldier in the bow of the ship who was reloading was also hit by the three-eyed gun, and blood was gushing from his chest.

Propelled by manpower, the head cannon rotated on a three-foot-diameter copper seat and re-aimed at the enemy ship. After the bombardment of the four tiger squat guns on the enemy ship in turn, there were no more moving figures.

"Put!" Dai Huayi shouted as he personally lit the fire door of the cannon. With the roar of the cannons, the hull shook violently. The 10-pound shotgun that was sprayed swept across the deck of the enemy ship, wiping out all the movable figures on the enemy ship.

"Slow down!" He Gui ordered, "Prepare to rely on ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a fierce shelling sound was heard from the starboard side of the enemy ship, and a cloud of debris suddenly rose from the aft compartment of the enemy ship.

The cannon that can shoot out the chips is either a cannon or a dumpling bomb.

"Wang Zuyi, that old madman!" He Gui scolded hatefully. Wang Zuyi fired two more cannons at close range, and the big ship that could have been occupied was scrapped. He turned around and called out to Zhang Cheng, "Stop!" Blow the contact trumpet! ”

In the oarsman's cabin, the drumming stopped abruptly. Wang Jinbao, who had lost his strength, had black eyes, let go of his hands, and fell silently on his paddle shaft. When the paddles on both sides of the centipede boat were limply submerged in the water, only the last oars on the starboard side were raised high.

By the time Yu Dajiang's boat arrived at the battlefield carrying his son Zhu Pingjin, the battle had stopped.

The enemy had one big ship and five small boats, none of which escaped. An enemy boat was towed to the side of the main general's boat to report the merit, and a jubilant officer and soldier Qianhu stood at the bow of the boat, carrying a hideous human head to show off to the big ship, while the soldiers on the river boat shouted loudly with Qianhe.

showed his face in front of the prince, and Yu Dajiang was naturally happy. He explained to Zhu Pingjin the soldiers' actions: they were rewarding the prince for their merits.

Looking at the small boat outside the side that was ravaged by a seven-and-a-half-pound cannon, Zhu Pingjin smiled and nodded. Yu Dajiang followed Zhu Pingjin to the side of the gunwale, but he glanced at the small boat and immediately blushed: the small boat was full of minced meat and limb fragments, and half a cabin of blood and water reverberated as the boat rocked. This is clearly a masterpiece of the cannon on the Centipede ship, where is the credit of the officers and soldiers!

"Lord Shizi, the little ones are all vulgar military men who don't know anything. There are a lot of adults, so don't be like them! ”

"If you win, you should be rewarded!" Zhu Pingjin said: "Whether it is the national protection army or the imperial court official army, they are all for the Ming Dynasty to guard the country and protect the peace for the people, there is no need for you and me!" The Protector Army won the battle, and it was also the official army that won the battle! Spread the decree and reward all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division with 1,000 taels of silver! ”

"The last general will be taught by the son of the world!" Yu Dajiang knelt on one knee on the deck and gave Zhu Pingjin a military salute.

Zhu Pingjin smiled and helped him up: "General Yu is the chief general of the water division, and he has another credit!" The next battle to fight Luodu will be commanded by the general! ”

"The last will obey!" Yu Dajiang nodded heavily.

A large town on the bank of the river in front of him had appeared in his field of vision.
