Determined to clean up the weak Wu Junshui Division when it was dawn, but what Shi Xiangzhen never expected was that it was just dawn the next day, and before he could give the order to attack, the scout ship that went upstream to reconnoiter came to report first, saying that the Wu Junshui Division had been fully mobilized, and the soldiers boarded the ship to raise the flag and pull the sails, and there were signs of taking the initiative to attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I don't understand the courage of the vulnerable Wu Junshui Division to dare to take the initiative to break away from the protection of the land division and take the initiative to launch a decisive battle, but the fighter plane is so rare, Shi Xiangzhen, who has a steady chance of victory, still did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare to attack, and said viciously: "Good come!" Beyond the little demon, since your sailor wants to find death, the national sect will fulfill you! ”

The Taiping scouts did not find out the wrong news, and the officers and men of the Wu Army Naval Division, who had all boarded the ship, had indeed received the order to launch a decisive battle, and if the Taiping Army scouts waited a little longer, they would definitely be able to bring Shi Xiangzhen a better news - despite the strong opposition of the water and land soldiers, Wu Chaoyue still resolutely boarded the Wu Army's Naval Division's flagship Loyalty, personally supervised the officers and soldiers of the Naval Division to carry out this decisive battle on the water with a huge disparity in strength, and hung his own Wu character handsome flag with teeth and claws high on the mast of the Loyalty.

Seeing Wu Chaoyue hold his head high in the strong opposition of the Wu army's officers and soldiers, Fu Aji, who was ordered to investigate Zhao Liewen, first opened his mouth, and then his first thought was, "Great!" It's best to let Longhair capture this little barbarian alive and cut it with a thousand cuts! ”

And Li Yuandu's side, even if he and Wu Chaoyue are brothers from the same class, after receiving the news that Wu Chaoyue personally boarded the ship to supervise the battle, Li Yuandu, who was lying on the hospital bed and moaning weakly, his first reaction was of course not to pray that God would bless his senior brother to victory, but to hope from the bottom of his heart that Wu Jun's naval division would be wiped out, "Don't want those two broken boats!" As long as the long hair fights for strength, kills all the Wu dog sailors, and avenges me, I will be satisfied! And ......, Wu Weiting, also died as miserably as possible! ”

With no hope of victory in the bleak airline, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, a fleet of Wu Army's naval divisions, consisting of two small pulling boats and six small rowing boats, took the lead in leaving the water surface of Wuwangmiao, crossed the iron cable route that had been destroyed by most of the Taiping Army's naval divisions, and sailed downstream to take the initiative to attack the Taiping Army's naval division.

The Qing soldiers guarding the iron cable took the initiative to abandon the water fortifications that had been destroyed by the Taiping army, and all of them retreated to the land to return to the team, and the Wu army's land division stationed on the north and south banks and the Qing army's green battalion to assist in the operation were also dispatched to form a formation to protect the batteries on both sides of the strait that could still play a role in the water battle, and they were also ready to meet the Wu army's sailor officers and men who were calling for help on the shore.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

In the loud military songs, the main force of the Wu Army's naval division, which was almost doomed to defeat, set out a battle formation three miles upstream of the iron cable defense line, the Loyalty and Renyi anchored horizontally at an interval of half a mile, and the small rowing boats were arc-shaped to protect the near side of the two main battleships, and the small boats were lined up horizontally in front of the line to serve as the front team. What's even crazier is that in the case that the number of warships is far inferior to that of the enemy, in order to make up for the lack of water power, the Wu Army's naval division also pulled the two-man clipper ship that was responsible for the liaison and reconnaissance mission to the battlefield to participate in the battle, and arranged it in the shape of fish scales behind the Loyalty and Renyi.

During the arrangement, the movements of the officers and men of the Wu Army's naval division were as clumsy and slow as ever, and there were still cases of improper operation and collision on their own, but there was no longer angry scolding and complaining on the large and small ships of the Wu Army's naval division, and some were just loud military songs and resolute expressions that looked at death as home. At the same time, the officers and men of the Wu Army's naval division also clearly knew that after the start of the war, even when the enemy and our warships were entangled and intertwined, the Wu Army batteries on both sides of the Yangtze River would continue to open fire, bombarding the shells into the ship group, covering them with indiscriminate firepower!

Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and there are also many Wu Junshui soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but when I saw Wu Chaoyue's big banner of Wu characters hanging high on the mast of the Loyalty, and saw Wu Chaoyue, who was as thin as firewood but had always loved nurses, standing high on the bow of the Loyalty, negative emotions such as timidity, fear of death, nervousness and fear disappeared from these Wu Junshui soldiers, "I'm afraid of a ball!" The head has a scar the size of a bowl, and the governor is not afraid of death, so we who are small soldiers still need to be afraid?! ”

At this time, the forward fleet of the Wu Army's Naval Division, which was responsible for the task of luring the enemy, had already done it downstream and the Taiping Army's Naval Division, and after successfully inducing the Taiping Army's Naval Division Advance Team to charge, the Wu Army's Naval Division's front team, which was composed of two small rowing boats and six small rowing boats, immediately turned around and retreated, but suffered from lack of experience and skill, and failed to turn around and withdraw before the Taiping Army's Naval Division approached. But he still couldn't get out of the encirclement of the Taiping army's fleet, and saw the Taiping army's sailor soldiers jumping on the deck of their own boats, and the commander of the Wu army's sailors, who commanded this small boat, was heartbroken, and simply shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to be loyal!" See you in the underworld! ”

Roaring, the Wu army Shi Chang pulled the last grenade bullet in his hand, and died with several nearby Taiping soldiers, and the remaining Wu soldiers also roared and hugged an enemy and rolled down the Yangtze River, scuffling and dying with the enemy.

When the battle situation reached Shi Xiangzhen, he was surprised by the high morale of the soldiers of the Wu Army, and Shi Xiangzhen suddenly understood that the Wu Army's Sailor was really going to fight with his own army, and this battle would never be as easy as he imagined. But the huge disparity in strength was placed there, and Shi Xiangzhen still did not hesitate to order the whole army to attack, and continued to kill the main force of the Wu Army's naval division, which had lost the protection of the iron cable.

"Playing with Lao Tzu and ending up with this hand? You are still too tender, when Lao Tzu took the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom to fight to the death with the Qing Demon, you were not born yet! This is Shi Xiangzhen's heart at this moment.

At ten o'clock, the main force of the Wu Army Naval Division and the main force of the Taiping Army Naval Division finally saw the existence of each other from afar, this is indeed a decisive battle on the water with a huge disparity in strength, together with the light boats that have almost no combat effectiveness, the size of the ships of the Wu Army Naval Division is only a little more than a hundred, while the large, medium and small warships of the Taiping Army Naval Division are more than 800, the light boats are difficult to count, densely packed almost covering the surface of the river, and the number alone is daunting.

The Wu army's vanguard fleet, which was responsible for luring the enemy, had already crossed the dilapidated iron cable defense line and fled back to the main fleet to return to the formation, and the Wu army batteries on both sides of the strait had also roared one after another, covering the front team of the Taiping Army Naval Division pursuing them with firepower, although the fixed batteries did not pose much threat to the small warships of the Taiping Army's naval division, but it also successfully disrupted the formation of the Taiping Army's naval division's forward, forcing them to temporarily retreat and regroup, and also waited for Shi Xiangzhen's next order.

Shi Xiangzhen's flagship was a towing boat captured from the Hunan army's naval division, which could only be equipped with four guns in the bow and stern, and the firepower was not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Wu army's main battleships Loyalty and Renyi, which could be equipped with fifty guns. But it is precisely because of this that standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the two huge warships of the Wu army with a telescope, Shi Xiangzhen, nicknamed the iron rooster, is inevitably full of greed in his eyes, even if he knows that the big move forward will be covered by the fire of the Wu army's battery, Shi Xiangzhen still roared loudly: "Hit the flag, the whole army will assault!" Fight to the death with the Qing Demon fleet! ”

"Guozong, the location of the Qing Demon fleet is within the range of the Qing Demon artillery." The subordinate general next to him reminded: "We have to guard against the Qing Demon deliberately luring the enemy, luring us to the battlefield in their favor, and taking the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on us with artillery." ”

"Can I not know this?" Shi Xiangzhen said lightly: "Come on, our ship is small, and the Qing Demon's artillery may hit us unless it is unlucky, and when they inflict heavy damage on us, we will have already wiped out the Qing Demon's sailors." ”

After that, Shi Xiangzhen couldn't wait to instruct: "Order all ships, try not to attack the two big ships of the Qing Demon as much as possible, try to seize the side of the deck, and grab those two good ships for me!" ”

The banner of the general attack was raised, and the high-spirited soldiers of the Taiping Army sailors shook their oars and launched a charge with all their might, and the large and small warships were like a fragmented arrow, killing the main force of the Wu Army's sailors like a lightning speed. The Wu army batteries on both sides of the strait opened fire frantically, desperately bombarding all kinds of shells into the Taiping army's naval fleet, and a few Taiping naval division warships were also more or less defeated, but they still could not stop the Taiping army's naval division's charge.

Finally, a large number of ships of the Taiping Navy Division crossed the broken iron cable defense line and bullied into the range of the artillery of the Wu Army's Naval Division, and the large and small warships of the Wu Army's Naval Division also opened fire at the same time, with hundreds of cannons roaring and rumbling artillery fire, the Taiping Army fleet that was bombed on three sides finally appeared in some confusion, but the experienced Taiping Army Naval Division immediately stretched out to both wings, avoiding artillery fire and advancing to both wings of the Wu Army's Naval Division at the same time. Seeing this scene, Wang Fu, the commander of the Wu Army's naval division, was inevitably overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Wu Chaoyue: "Futai, you expected it, the long-haired fleet really extended to our two wings. ”

Wu Chaoyue didn't speak, just nodded, a mung bean small eye, and just stared closely at the Taiping Army Navy fleet coming from the south through a monocular, staring at the flagship of the Taiping Army Navy with Shi Xiangzhen's handsome flag, or seeing with his own eyes that Shi Xiangzhen sat on the tow boat surrounded by a large number of Taiping Army Navy warships, crossing the iron cable defense line that could still play a little residual role, Wu Chaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Do it, fight according to the original plan." You're better at water battles than me, and it's up to you next. ”

Wang Fu excitedly agreed loudly, immediately took over the command and loudly ordered the lookout to raise the banner of general attack, and the Loyalty, Renyi, and Wu Jun's small pulling boats also immediately stopped the shelling and closed the anchor together, turned around and prepared to launch a surprise attack to the south. Seeing this scene, Shi Xiangzhen was stunned at first, and then suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly laughed wildly, "Want to raid the flagship of your own sect? Good idea! Come on, come on, let the horses come! ”

"Guozong, look, surpass the handsome banner of the little demon! The handsome flag that surpasses the little demon is on the Qing Demon flagship! ”

Still under the reminder of the subordinates next to him, Shi Xiangzhen, who had only been observing the enemy formation, suddenly discovered that Wu Chaoyue's handsome flag was also hanging on the flagship mast of the Wu Army's naval division. Then, Shi Xiangzhen was even more ecstatic, and roared: "The whole army assaults, take down the dog head that surpasses the little demon!" ”

The cannon rumbled, the war drums were like thunder, and in the loud sound formed by the convergence of various sounds, the Wu army fleet, which had gradually adjusted its formation, had also launched a charge and raid. But during this period, even if the Taiping soldiers found out, they didn't care about it - the two Wu army clippers, which could only hold two people, had sneakily crossed the main fleet of the Wu army's naval division and rushed straight towards the dense area of the Taiping army's fleet.

No one in the Taiping army paid attention to the two small boats that had no combat effectiveness, let alone the threat they might pose to their own army, but soon, after the two small boats rushed into the gap in the Taiping army's naval fleet, the boat suddenly emitted a faint curling green smoke, and at the same time, the four Wu army sailors on the two small boats also jumped off the Yangtze River together, struggling to escape to the left and right.

"What are you doing?"

Before the soldiers of the Taiping Army Navy next to them understood what was happening, the two clippers had already erupted into an earth-shattering loud noise, and the powerful shock wave directly lifted the Taiping Army ships next to them to the sky, and the erupting flames were also instantly shrouded in a large area of the river.

"What's going on?!"

Shi Xiangzhen, who was supervising the battle in the rear, also immediately found that the situation was wrong, and quickly raised his binoculars to check the situation ahead, but he was stunned to see that there were two more Wu army boats that had no combat effectiveness rushed into the dense part of his fleet, and they exploded one after another with a loud noise, and the Wu army boats were shattered, and many Taiping army warships around were also unlucky, either overturned directly, or they were blown everywhere by air waves and water waves, seriously damaging his charging formation.

"Suicide ship!!" It took a lot of effort for Shi Xiangzhen to finally guess the real reason for the mutation - the crazy Wu Junshui soldiers actually filled the clipper with gunpowder, rushed into the dense part of his fleet and detonated it, and killed his warship with suicide tactics!

"Suicide Boat !!" At the same time, there were also Manchu officials such as Fu Aji and Yan Jingming, who were watching the battle on the shore, and after shouting this word wildly, Fu Aji roared even more frantically: "Wu Chaoyue is crazy? His men are all crazy too? Dare to fill a small boat with gunpowder and rush into the long-haired fleet and die together?! ”

Wu Chaoyue and the soldiers of the Wu Army Naval Division are indeed crazy, and they are also driven crazy by the situation, knowing that the Self-Army will never be the opponent of the Taiping Army's Naval Division, Wu Chaoyue can only use tactics to completely anger the soldiers of the Self-Army Naval Division, and let them use this kind of crazy tactics that do not want to die! The soldiers of the Wu army also knew very well that the normal tactics of the army had no chance of victory, and the only hope of victory was to compete with the enemy, so there were 80 warriors of the Wu army who saw death as if they were at home, driving 40 clippers loaded with gunpowder and bitter acid to attack one after another, and frantically rushed into the enemy's ship group and died with the enemy.

Every member of the Wu Army's death squad tied six gourds around their waists, so that even if they were stunned by the explosion, they would not sink to the bottom of the river and suffocate and drown, so as to strive for the slightest hope of being rescued, but in the chaos of the battle, such hope was of course very pitiful.

But the warriors of the Wu army were by no means sacrificed in vain, in the face of the suicide tactics suddenly used by the Wu army's sailors, the Taiping army's sailors were completely panicked no matter how elite and brave they were, and no matter how experienced they were in water warfare, they had never seen such a fatal tactic. Under the cowardice, the fleet of the Taiping Army's sailors was not only in chaos, but many warships also rushed to escape because they were afraid of being affected by this shameless and crazy tactic.

In the hazy tears of countless Wu Army sailor soldiers, one after another Wu Army's suicide ships rushed into the completely chaotic Taiping Army Navy fleet, at the cost of broken bones, they blew up the road to the Taiping Army's flagship, pulling countless enemies to go down to the underworld, like peeling bamboo shoots, peeling off the layers of protection of the Taiping Army's flagship layer by layer, until the tender bamboo shoots were exposed-Shi Xiangzhen's flagship!

The officers and men of the Wu Army's land division on the riverbank were also crying frantically, crying bitterly while struggling to reload their ammunition, blasting the shells into the dense area of the enemy's fleet as fast as possible at a speed far beyond usual, and the hot cannon body burned the hands of many Wu gunners after continuous firing, but these gunners did not feel the slightest pain, and tears kept flowing down their faces.

At the same time that the officers and men of the Wu army wept for the sacrifice of their comrades, the top and bottom of the Taiping Army Navy Division were already in chaos, and even Shi Xiangzhen, who had defeated the Hunan Army Navy Division in Jinggang, did not know how to deal with such a situation at this moment, and kept yelling and shouting, but the orders shouted were inconsistent, so that the flag bearers on the flag platform were at a loss, and then caused a complete chaos in the Taiping Army fleet, from top to bottom, they did not know whether to fight or flee?

Finally, after another Wu army suicide ship exploded in front of the flagship of the Taiping army, Shi Xiangzhen's flagship was no longer protected by a small boat of the Taiping army, and the main force of the Wu army advanced while firing artillery, and had already killed less than half a mile away from Shi Xiangzhen's ship.

It was too late to transfer the boat over to protect the flagship anyway, and as a last resort, Shi Xiangzhen could only hastily order the flagship to turn around, but Shi Xiangzhen forgot an extremely important point in the panic, the Wu army fleet was not only smooth, but also windward! Wang Fu just gave an order, and the Wu army's warships that were quickly raising their sails immediately accelerated and slaughtered Shi Xiangzhen's flagship with a pack of wolves fighting tigers!

It's not over, in the chaos, another Wu Jun suicide boat directly hit Shi Xiangzhen's flagship and exploded, although it failed to blow up Shi Xiangzhen's tugboat, but it also blew a big hole in the side of the tugboat, the river water surged into the cabin, and the tugboat suddenly lost its maneuver and quickly tilted. Shi Xiangzhen and the others were scattered, and when they hurriedly wanted to board the boat to escape for their lives, the small pulling boat in front of the Wu Junshui Division was close to the front with lightning speed.

"Shi Xiangzhen! The big-haired Shi Xiangzhen is still on the boat! ”

The flat yellow handsome robe completely betrayed Shi Xiangzhen's identity, so that the Wu army soldiers who pulled out the boat recognized Shi Xiangzhen at a glance, and couldn't wait to shoot and drop the bomb, Shi Xiangzhen not only did not have the opportunity to board the boat, but also was very unlucky to be hit in the chest by a bullet, the bullet entered the lungs, and blood gushed like a spring.

"Guozong!"

The pro-soldiers around him cried and pounced, and forcibly picked up Shi Xiangzhen and ran to the bow of the boat, but the hull of the towing boat was tilted seriously, and the pro-soldiers had already slid to the side of the boat with Shi Xiangzhen without running two steps in a panic, and Shi Xiangzhen, who knew that he would not be spared, suddenly smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "King of Heaven, King of the East, it's not that I don't sell my life, it's my enemy who works harder, it's too desperate!" ”

With a bang, a grenade projectile fell to Shi Xiangzhen's side, and then before Shi Xiangzhen and the others could react, the grenade had already exploded, and the most important bang of this war broke out, "Boom!" ”

On that day, in the case of a huge disparity in strength with the enemy, the fledgling Wu Army Navy Division created an unbelievable miracle with the courage and fighting spirit of sacrificing his life, defeating the Taiping Army's Naval Division in a battle, killing and sinking more than 360 captured enemy ships, sinking the flagship of the Taiping Army's Naval Division, and killing Shi Xiangzhen, the commander of the Taiping Army's Naval Division!
