Just as the two were talking, the general Gai Yu brought a few personal soldiers to gallop on horseback, got off the horse, and handed the reins of the horse to a personal soldier beside him, and he reported to Jin Shenghuan with an excited face: "Dashuai, great news!" ”

"What's the good news?" Jin Shenghuan asked hurriedly.

"When I was patrolling the West Gate just now, I saw a large fleet of ships on the Ganjiang River heading towards our Nanchang City, hundreds of ships! Loaded with soldiers and supplies, looking at the flag, it seems to be our people! ”

"Could it be that the imperial court sent a fleet of sailors to support us?" Jin Shenghuan's eyebrows rolled, a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Quick!" Come and see it in town! ”

"Obey!"

When Jin Shenghuan led his soldiers and wingmen to the West Water Gate, he could clearly see the fleet on the river, only to see dozens of "Ming" flags hanging on the fleet, and the flags were unfurling in the wind, flashing dazzling in the sunset!

"Sure enough, it's the imperial court's sailor fleet! Now we're saved! Jin Shenghuan excitedly slapped his fist on the wall, and his hand was broken and he didn't know it.

On the city wall, the other soldiers and people were all excited and surprised when they saw this, almost dancing with their hands, holding on for months, and finally waiting for the support of the imperial court!

Under Jin Shenghuan's order, they galloped down the city, all the way through the streets and alleys, Lubu relayed this great news, and after a while, the entire Nanchang City was boiling, whether it was gentry and businessmen, or old and weak women and children, they all cried with joy!

At this time, the Qing army also found that the Ming army sailor fleet that suddenly broke into the border of Nanchang, hundreds of river boats, lined up, covering the sky and the sun, seeing that the Ming army sailor on the Ganjiang River showed off its might, very angry.

The Manchu generals who were responsible for guarding the river had already seen from a distance that in addition to a large number of officers and soldiers of the naval division, there were also a lot of bulging grain bags filled with grain in the fleet, and when they saw the fleet sailing straight to Nanchang City, they immediately understood their intentions.

The situation was urgent, and the Manchu generals did not wait to ask the commander Tan Tai for instructions, so they used the only sand boats and longboats they had to put together a fleet of sailors.

Among them, the largest is only 300 materials, and the smallest is only less than 100 materials, which can barely be used as combat ships, and the ship types are mainly sand boats and fortune boats, plus some small ships such as sampans, sea warehouses, and leaf boats.

In addition to dozens of large and small warships, there were also many transport ships that were temporarily collected or looted, carrying some tiger squat cannons, cannons, crossbowmen, and sword and shield hands on board, trying to prevent this Ming army naval fleet from rescuing Nanchang City.

Yu Long, the chief military officer of Fubo Town, Daming, stood on the deck of the ship decorated with vermilion lacquer, and the gusts of river wind blew his red robe fluttering and flying, and the hunting sounded.

Yu Long, who was born as a pirate, has a burly physique, copper-colored skin, and blows the sea breeze and river breeze all year round, which makes his skin very rough, plus a beard, at a glance, it gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Seeing that the Tartars had organized a fleet to intercept so quickly, Yu Long was still a little surprised, but when he saw the size and equipment of that fleet, he couldn't help but laugh again.

He laughed and said to the left and right: "The Tartar fleet is coming, let the sons and daughters get ready, tsk, just these dozens of broken ships dare to come and brush my old tiger's whiskers, it's just beyond my strength!"

Listen to Lao Tzu left and right, wait for the Tartar fleet to enter the firing range, and bombard Lao Tzu with a Franc cannon!

Don't let those Tartars see how knowledgeable they are, and they really deceive me! ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order left and right, he immediately waved the flag and began to give the order in the language of the flag.

As the distance between the two fleets gradually approached, dozens of large river warships of more than 400 materials of the Ming army, dozens of Hongyi and Frankie cannons opened fire at the same time.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The huge kinetic energy of the solid cannonballs carried by the Qing army fell in the fleet of the sailors, stirring up one column of water after another, and some of the shells hit the warships of the Qing army, and immediately smashed the wooden hull to pieces, and the ships quickly disintegrated, bringing up the debris in the sky, and in a panicked and sharp panic, dozens of Qing soldiers on the ship all fell into the river and fed Wang Ba.

Because the firepower of the Ming army's naval division was too fierce, the long-distance artillery battle was basically a one-sided pressure on a naval division temporarily assembled by the Qing army, and the small and medium-sized ships of the Qing army were hit by a round of artillery, and the ships were basically destroyed and killed.

Before the two sides could get on board, the Qing army was blown up a large number of warships by a series of artillery bombardments by the Ming army, and hundreds or thousands of Qing soldiers on board were either directly hit by shells and killed, or fell into the river.

In order to make the artillery of the Ming army useless, the generals of the Qing army could only order the whole army to rush in the direction of the Ming army's fleet, intending to have a hand-to-hand combat with the sailors of the Ming army to offset their advantage.

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, the Hongyi and Franc machine cannons gradually lost their effect, and the officers and soldiers of the Qing army's sailors also exhaled, one by one, they were very happy, and the distance of just a few miles seemed to have escaped death.

It's just that before they could show their smiles, they saw that the warships of the Ming army did not retreat but advanced, but instead pressed straight towards their fleet.

Dozens of large war ships of more than 400 materials formed a sequence, stood at the front of the fleet, and advanced rapidly in order.

When the distance between the two sides was only dozens of steps, the officers and soldiers of the Qing army's sailors began to release arrows, guns, and artillery, bursts of white smoke rose, and the fight was also very lively, thinking that this time I finally got some face, and this big wave of attacks should be enough for those Ming dogs to drink a pot!

As everyone knows, the Ming army has no intention of fighting with them at all!

The river warships owned by the Ming army were not only tall, but also extremely strong. Since the hull is usually made of solid oak planks and is double-layered, the scattered shells of birds, bows and arrows, tiger squat cannons, and cannons will not have the slightest effect on this type of ship.

In the exclamation of the Qing soldiers, the Ming army's river war ships rushed straight towards their fleet, with a sturdy hull and sharp ram bars, as long as the Qing army's ships were hit, they basically fell apart.

A rampage down, just a cup of tea, this immeasurable Qing army fleet to intercept the basic annihilation, the Qing soldiers in a hurry, can no longer fire arrows and artillery to return fire, one by one with the disintegration of the ship and slipped into the river, most of them drowned.
