No. 077 Clash of Sailors (4)

When everyone was inspecting, Zhu Youlang saw that Yu Long's expression was a little wrong, and he looked like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak, he couldn't help asking: "Yu Aiqing doesn't have to worry, if you have any ideas, you can come with me, and I will listen to you."

Yu Long saw that the emperor said this, so he no longer twisted, he was an old sailor, experienced in water warfare, just now he followed the emperor to carefully observe the terrain, and found that the emperor's order to stop the fleet at Hengshiji seemed to be a wrong decision, of course, he also had the responsibility of negligence.

After the two sides fought and retreated, the emperor chose Hengshiji as a temporary station, and at that time, he took a cursory look at the terrain of Hengshiji and was not bad, which was convenient for the warship to moor, and he echoed the emperor's decision without much thought.

Now after observing again, with rich experience in water warfare, he found that the terrain of Hengshiji does not seem to be so favorable to his side, Hengshiji is located in the downwind direction of the Beijiang River, according to the tidal law of the Beijiang River, the tide may rise in the middle of the night, that is to say, if the Qing army fleet also has water warfare experts, after seeing through this, taking advantage of the favorable wind and high tide, taking advantage of the favorable time and place, take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, so that the Qing army's fleet is likely to defeat their own sailors in one fell swoop, In severe cases, it may even lead to the annihilation of your own naval division.

When Yu Long reported the situation to Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and even more realized that he inadvertently seemed to meddle in military affairs excessively, and committed the mistake of a layman guiding an insider. As an emperor, he doesn't have to do everything himself, as long as he gives the general direction and makes appropriate strategic arrangements. In terms of experience in water warfare, he is far inferior to Yu Long, an old water thief, and excessive interference in military affairs is likely to lead to misses, and even the possibility of delaying the fighter, if Yu Long does not reflect the situation in time this time, he may make an irreparable mistake.

Therefore, in terms of tactics, he decided to interfere as little as possible, and handed over full authority to the commanders at all levels under his command, giving them the opportunity to fully train, and no longer hindering them.

After returning to the camp, Zhu Youlang gave Yu Long full authority to dispatch, and Yu Long did not drag the mud and water, bowed down to receive the order, and quickly readjusted the deployment of the fleet, and one after another military orders were issued from the tent of the commander of the central army like flowing water.

Military Order: Deputy Commander Gao Lixun led more than 20 clippers to patrol back and forth to strengthen vigilance; Order: Battalion commander Tang Yao led more than a dozen warships to stop at Qianwan to guard, and repeatedly warned Tang Yao that once the enemy was secretly attacked, he should immediately set off Lianzhu rockets and launch an alarm to the main fleet in Hengshiji Harbor.

After a tense arrangement of gongs and drums, the loopholes in the fleet's defense were temporarily filled, and the others could not relax their vigilance. Then Yu Long ordered all ships not to pull down their sails, the guns and ammunition on the ships must be in a state of combat readiness, and the sergeants must not take off their armor.

Almost at the same time, on the side of the Qing army, Shi Lang had discovered this fatal loophole. He decisively decided to carry out a sneak attack on the Ming army's water village.

At the time of the second watch, according to the established strategy, Shi Lang led the main fleet, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the high tide and tailwind, to sail to Hengshiji, preparing to burn the Ming army fleet when the Ming army was defenseless.

and sent his right-hand man Hong Xishan as the striker, rushing to the forefront and taking the lead in arson. However, when Shi Lang's main fleet arrived at the entrance of Hengshiji Harbor, the Qing soldiers in charge of reconnoitring the situation in the river area hurriedly reported that a ship had been found in front, most likely a patrol ship of the Ming army.

Hong Xishan was shocked: "The ships of the puppet dynasty are all anchored in Hengshiji, how can there be ships here?" "Suspicion is suspicion, and what should be guarded against must be guarded, and he ordered all ships to be on guard, listen to their own cannons, and launch an attack.

The ship found by the Qing army was the patrol ship sent by the deputy commander Gao Lixun, and the sailors and battalions of the patrol ship also discovered the sneaky Qing ships in the port at this time, so they hurriedly reported to the main general Gao Lixun, and Gao Lixun quickly ordered his subordinates: "Immediately set sail, wait for the cannon, listen to the general's orders, attack on the one hand, and send a series of cannons to send a message to the Chinese army." ”

Soon after Gao Lixun's sentry ship sent a signal to the Chinese army, more than 1,000 Qing army sailors rushed towards the port under the leadership of the forward commander Hong Xishan, and saw that the Qing army really came to attack at night, Gao Lixun did not panic at all, and did not talk nonsense, and then ordered his subordinates to fire on the Qing ships that were gradually approaching the harbor, five longboats equipped with Hongyi cannons and Franc machines, and fast crabs lined up outside the harbor, and at the same time continued to use Lianzhu artillery to send signals to inform Tang Yao's fleet nearby, and the Chinese fleet anchored in the harbor came to rendezvous and fight together.

Because Yu Long had made quite adequate preparations in advance, the speed of the Ming army's counterattack was quite fast, and it was almost so fast that Yu Long had already led the main fleet of the Chinese army to the battlefield, Shi Lang and the forward Hong Xishan reacted, although the Qing army occupied the advantage of the wind, but because the night was too dark and the Ming army was prepared, the so-called advantage was basically equal to no advantage, the Ming army and the Qing army began to fight in this dark situation, and they were fighting with each other on the river that could not see their fingers.

Under the full preparation of the Ming army, the Qing army's originally planned night attack suddenly became a big melee, and accidental injuries occurred from time to time, and a melee hit until dawn, until the sergeants on both sides were exhausted, and only stopped for a while.

ps: The recent update is not strong.,I'm sorry.,It's not easy to write a book part-time for more than 2 months.,The creative fatigue period has arrived.,Everyone's understanding.,I've taken a few days off.,Adjust the state well.,Writing books is also going to have a holiday, right?? It's not a tireless little scalper, but I'll try to update it from next week, so you don't have to worry about the eunuchs of this book. There are advantages and disadvantages of part-time work, full-time is the same, it is really easy to be a eunuch is the book of full-time authors, once their books are not good, they will be cut off immediately, after all, they need money to support their families, there is nothing to blame, part-time authors, making money is actually the second (less update does not make much), writing a book is mainly to share the story with everyone, as long as there is the support of book friends, more encouragement, more tolerance, the author will have a steady stream of strength to continue, even if there is no longer a return of money one day, of course, the biggest disadvantage of part-time work is that time is tight, and there is no manuscript, if there is an accident, it will be interrupted, and the creative fatigue will also be interrupted and rested, so I will try to improve the speed of writing; To overcome, a book is millions of words, long, everyone reads slowly, and the younger brother writes slowly.
