Zhu Hongsan looked at the guards outside and was very satisfied with Han Sanqiang's arrangement.

"Sanqiang, how is the situation of the transport ship in the lake?"

"Your Majesty, the last general has arranged a regiment of 3,000 people in the fleet to guard it, plus the accompanying naval soldiers, a total of 5,000 people to protect it, there should be no problem! What's more, there are still our guns on board, and the end will ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded when he heard Han Sanqiang say this, in order to protect the safety of the transport fleet, Zhu Hongsan did not load all the materials on the ship, but vacated ten ships to load artillery, but because of the small tonnage of canal ships, each ship can only be equipped with five guns. However, in this way, Zhu Hongsan estimated that it was enough to protect the fleet, so Zhu Hongsan had the courage to lead the team north.

Zhu Hongsan turned around and didn't find any problems, he had been on the road for more than a month, so he was naturally very tired, and after walking around, he went back to sleep.

Zhu Hongsan knew that tonight was an important night, so he didn't take off his clothes and sleep peacefully, but lay down with his clothes, and Li Chengen accompanied him.

Zhu Hongsan's squint was two hours, and when he opened his eyes and saw the bright light coming in from the curtain, it was probably dawn.

"Lao Li! Lao Li! Li Chengen was napping on the side of the stool, and when he heard the emperor call him to stand up quickly and asked, "Emperor, are you awake?" ”

"Well, let's see if it's dawn outside!"

Li Chengen promised to go out, and he came back after a while.

"Emperor, the east is white, and the sky will be bright in half an hour, but the lake is foggy, and the visibility is less than a hundred steps!"

Foggy? That's not a good thing! Zhu Hongsan hurriedly got up and went out, and when he saw that this was the case, the lake was foggy, and the fleet that was originally clearly visible was now unable to see the position at all.

Zhu Hongsan was shocked when he saw the fog, and secretly scolded himself for forgetting this. It's autumn, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and this is a lake, so it's easy to get foggy. If the Qing army comes to attack now, it will be enough for you to be in a hurry.

Zhu Hongsan pulled over a brocade guard on the side and said, "You go find a boat, no matter what method you use, let the fleet come over immediately!" "Now Zhu Hongsan doesn't care about any safety distance, and the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the fleet first.

As soon as the brocade guard was about to go down, he heard an explosion not far away, and the direction of the sound was from the fleet. Immediately after five or six explosions in a row, Zhu Hongsan's face turned pale: "It's over, it's been attacked by the Qing army!" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought that the Qing army on the opposite side were all northerners and were not accustomed to water warfare at all, so they must have no way to start with their own fleet. But Zhu Hongsan forgot that part of the Qing army on the other side was withdrawn from Hanyang, including Ma Xiong, the godson of Ma Jiaolin, the chief soldier of the Huguang Water Division.

In that year, Ma Jiaolin took advantage of the night in Huguang to send his godson Ma Xiong down the river with a gunpowder bag, blew up and sank the Ming navy's inland gunboat, and killed Admiral Ding Hai. Ma Xiong, who had made such a great achievement, was immediately promoted to the chief soldier by Zilharang, and his son Ma Jiaolin also became the admiral of the sailor.

But the next Nanchang Water Battle Qing army was not an opponent, because their opponent was replaced by the Ming navy that had just returned from the expedition of the Japanese State. That kind of large warship of thousands of tons is not at all what these small inland river gunboats can deal with, and after a battle, Ma Jiaolin became a water ghost in the Yangtze River, and the Huguang Water Division lost most of it, and the rest followed Jierharang to retreat to Nanyang to escape the catastrophe.

Now Yue Le wants to deal with the fleet in the lake and remembers this water ghost team, although there are less than 200 people left in the water ghost team led by Ma Xiong, but Ansan Lake is not big, and the hydrological situation is not as complicated as the Yangtze River. So late last night, Ma Xiong easily sneaked into the side of the fleet with the water ghost team.

At this time, there was also a heavy fog, and in this way Ma Xiong sank seven ships on the periphery of the canal. It should also be hoped that Zhu Hongsan will be unlucky, the seven ships that were sunk by Ma Xiong happened to be camouflage gunboats on guard on the periphery, and the transport ships in the inner circle were completely unprotected and exposed to the eyes of the Qing army.

Yue Le was overjoyed when he saw the success of the sneak attack, and said to Ma Xiong beside him: "Okay! Mr. Ma, your water ghost team will be a great success immediately, and it's up to you now! Give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, burn them all, and don't let one escape! ”

After Yue Le finished speaking, he said to all the generals behind him: "Now let's go and arrest that emperor, this king will see if his Ming army can fight again, how to deal with this king's 100,000 cavalry!" Bagen, you take 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and you will be the first to attack first! Hasen, you take 10,000 cavalry as a reserve, and you will go up if the Ming army resists fiercely! And send a scout to the west to find Aobai, so that he can help us in the west! ”

After Yue Le finished speaking, he mounted his horse and led his generals to the Ming army camp ten miles away.

Zhu Hongsan didn't know that the Qing army was ten miles away at this time, but he knew that a sneak attack was the beginning of the battle. Now there was a lot of fog all around, and the visibility was less than a hundred meters, so it was really difficult to deal with fast cavalry at this time.

At this time, Han Sanqiang also rushed over and asked, "Your Majesty, the fleet is under attack, should you send troops to save it!" ”

Zhu Hongsan hurriedly shook his head, the fleet is secondary, and the supplies can be transported from Jiangnan again, and the big battalion here will not be able to protect their lives if they lose their lives!

"No! Immediately order all the soldiers to get up and enter the battle post, I estimate that the Qing army will attack in a while! ”

The emperor's order was a holy decree, and immediately the sound of military trumpets sounded in the barracks, and all the soldiers rushed out of the barracks and entered their combat posts.

Zhu Hongsan also returned to the big tent and put on the armor of his whole body with the help of the little eunuch, Zhu Hongsan was more afraid of death than anyone else, his own armor was naturally the best, and the whole body was made of stainless steel.

After putting on the armor, Zhu Hongsan said to Li Chengen: "Is Zhu Shengduo awake?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the emperor hasn't woken up yet!"

"Okay, Li Chengen, you take a hundred people to protect the emperor and grandson, if Zhu Shengduo has anything to do, I will kill your whole family, you know?"

Li Chengen knew that the emperor valued this emperor very much, so he hurriedly rushed to Houcheng with a hundred heavily armed brocade guards to protect the emperor's grandson Zhu Shengduo.

Zhu Hongsan came out of the big tent, the sun had risen at this time, but the fog had not yet dispersed, and Zhu Hongsan knew that this was the most dangerous time.

At this moment, Zhu Hongsan felt a slight vibration on the ground, and Zhu Hongsan was shocked in his heart, this kind of vibration must have been the Qing army's horse team.

"Ready, all the artillery is changed for shotguns!" Zhu Hongsan's Praetorian Guard Division are all veterans, and the grassroots officers have fought many battles, so this situation naturally cannot be panicked, and without the orders of their superiors, these grassroots officers began to prepare their subordinates for battle.

The first Qing army to arrive was the 10,000 cavalry led by the Mongol Bagen, who was fighting for the first time in the pass, and he had fought with the ordinary Ming army before, and was also familiar with the tactics of the Ming army. According to his estimates, the camp of the Ming army is also a wall built of wood, there are 10,000 people on his side, and he can also break it, as long as he rushes into the camp, then his own cavalry can slaughter the Ming army at will. Thinking of this first merit coming so easily, Bagen is heart is hot, as long as he catches the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Emperor will definitely reward himself greatly.

Thinking of this, Bagen shouted to his subordinates: "You have all fought against the Ming army, you all know what it looks like, don't hesitate!" Rush in and kill them all! As long as we make the first contribution, Prince Yue Le will definitely reward us a lot! ”

The Mongol cavalry applauded, drove their horses one by one, and rushed along the shore of the lake.

Bagen thought simply, but he was dumbfounded when he rushed to the front of him, the camp of the Ming army was not a wall made of wood, but a camp wall stacked up in large earthen baskets, and it seemed that the bottom layer was three zhang thick, which could not be rushed into by cavalry alone. But because of the heavy fog, Bagan couldn't see the camp wall in the distance, and when he saw it clearly, it was less than 200 meters away from the camp wall.

Now that the cavalry speed has risen, it can't be stopped at all, and Bagan has no choice but to rush forward.

Bagen didn't know that in addition to the camp wall, the Ming army also erected an artillery piece every fifteen meters on the camp wall. Now that the Qing army had entered 200 meters, the artillery immediately opened fire, and the disemboweling shotgun immediately turned the front 200 meters into a death zone.

The Mongol cavalry differed from the Manchurian Eight Banners in that the Manchurian cavalry were all heavy cavalry, and each of them wore heavy armor. However, because of the lack of iron weapons in the Mongolian cavalry, many people wore leather armor, and only some generals could wear iron armor. But even the whole body of iron armor was like a piece of paper in front of the high-speed shotgun, and the first group of cavalry were hit by the shotgun one after another, and the corpses of them and the war horses immediately became stumbling blocks, and the rear cavalry had no choice but to slow down in order to avoid these stumbling blocks.

At this time, the Ming army muskets fired, although the power of the muskets was not as great as the shotguns, but the density of the muskets was much stronger than the shotguns, and for a time the two hundred meters outside the Ming army camp became a hell, full of dead people and dead horses.

In order to make meritorious contributions, Bagen rushed to the front line, and when the Ming artillery fired, he was also beaten into pulp by shotguns at the first time. The remaining cavalry saw that the Ming army had strong firepower and that the main general was dead, and the remaining cavalry shouted and retreated.

Due to the influence of heavy fog, Hasen of the second team could not see the battle situation of the front team clearly, and only heard a burst of cannon fire and gunfire, and after a while, his own people retreated one after another.

Husson grabbed one of the soldiers and asked, "Why did you retreat?" What about Bagan? ”

The soldier was only sixteen years old, and he was already frightened by the tragic situation of his own people just now, and said in a stumbling voice: "Master Hassen, the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, the casualties of the brothers are too great, and Master Bagan is dead!" ”

What the? Is Bagan dead? Hasan pulled out his waist knife and slashed the coward in front of him, and then shouted, "Gather the defeated army, and then rush forward to avenge Bagan and his dead brother!" ”

When Hassan rushed forward with the remnants of the second and first teams, he was immediately treated the same as the first team, and under the double blow of shotguns and muskets, Hassam's second team also suffered heavy casualties. ()
