Chapter 869: Longjiang Treasure Shipyard

This sudden rout was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one expected that the five thousand men would be scattered after only one round of blows.

Tao Lei was stunned and then looked at the rout and thought: Is the official army really so weak? If that's the case......

"Order the artillery to change the solid bullet for Lao Tzu, and then shoot three rounds first!" Saying that, Tao Lei pointed to the officers and soldiers who were a mile away and said. The gunners immediately replaced the scattered bullets used by the officers and soldiers to defend themselves against the charge, and replaced them with solid iron balls.

Deng Wenyu was already about to be mad, and thousands of people rushed over. Haven't picked up yet! was beaten back by the other party with a round of firearms, is there still such a joke in the world?

Although the guards sent out are indeed good and bad, there are always people who dare to fight! If you can't deal with such a scene, the next battle will really be difficult to fight.

Looking at the generals with ashamed faces, Deng Wenyu spoke: "The first twenty people to escape were beheaded to show the public, and the rest of them were all ten military sticks!" ”

Dingyuan Hou was angry, and no one dared to stop him, and soon twenty unlucky eggs were pulled out. No one knows whether these twenty people were the first to escape, and they could only be unlucky if they were chosen.

The twenty people who were crying and crying here just now were pulled to the front of the formation, and the knife and axe hand had not yet raised the big knife!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "There was a burst of artillery fire, and ten shells came at the officers and soldiers. The distance of a mile was not far for a 6-pounder gun, it was exactly within range.

Ten shells entered the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood of the officers and soldiers flew everywhere, and the screams were endless.

A cannonball hit Deng Wenyu's side more than two feet away, and the blood carried by the cannonball had splashed on Deng Wenyu's face.

Deng Wenyu was stunned and hurriedly looked towards the team. This morning, I looked over and saw a broken corpse, half of which had been torn apart by shells.

Although Deng Wenyu tried his best to endure it. But he still couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth and vomited. The generals around him were no better, and those who didn't vomit were pale and stared blankly at being ploughed through the array by shells.

Before the officers and soldiers could react, the second round of shelling arrived. When the shells hit the ranks of the officers and soldiers again, there were some riots among the officers and troops.

Deng Wenyu knew that he couldn't wait, if he didn't give the order to go down, just the shelling would collapse the official army. He gritted his teeth, pulled out his steel knife, and pointed forward: "All the generals will follow Benhou to kill the enemy!" ”

Maybe it was the panicked officers and soldiers who found the backbone, or maybe it was that Deng Wenyu, the Marquis of Dingyuan, was deeply loved by the officials and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers actually obeyed Deng Wenyu's command and slowly moved forward.

Even the twenty unlucky ones who were pulled out were ignored by the officers and soldiers, who had not yet taken ten steps before the third round of artillery arrived.

Tao Lei has been observing the changes in the official army. Finding that the officers and soldiers had pressed up, he somewhat admired the courage of the officers and commanders.

Slowly raised a hand and waved forward and ordered: "The artillery continues to bombard the enemy formation, and the firecrackers and the death brigade advance!" Let this group of officers and soldiers take a good look at what the real array is! ”

When the Changxing army received the order, they immediately lined up in a phalanx and slowly moved forward. They did not move forward in a chaotic manner like the officers and soldiers, but in a neat queue.

Every time the footsteps landed, 3,000 people let out "Bang! The sound of footsteps was like a heavy drum hitting the hearts of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and troops who were still moving forward were getting slower and slower, and they stopped at some point. But the artillery of the Changxing Army would not stop, and shells hit the array of officers and soldiers one after another.

When there were still 150 paces left on both sides, I don't know who was the first to drop their weapons and flee, and then the officers and soldiers turned around and fled like an avalanche.

They could run much faster than they could attack, and in the blink of an eye, they were far away.

Deng Wenyu couldn't control the rout, so he had no choice but to flee with the rout. When he fled back to the camp, he counted the number of people and found that there were 10,000 people missing.

Such a big loss made Deng Wenyu cry without tears, and he was defeated before he could engage with the Japanese Kou, is there a more bizarre battle than this?

The Changxing army only symbolically chased out and retreated one mile away, and did not take prisoners until more than 2,000 were captured, and there were still many people who the Changxing army did not catch and fled in all directions.

In this battle, no more than 300 officers and soldiers died under the Changxing army, and more soldiers trampled each other to death when the officers and soldiers fled.

Most of the officers and soldiers who were caught by the Changxing army were malnourished and could not run, and they didn't know how the would-be robbers were going to clean them up, so they followed the Changxing army back to the camp with anxiety.

Deng Wenyu returned to the camp and let out a long breath when he learned that the Japanese did not chase him, but he was responsible for the defeat. How to write the loss essay of more than 10,000 people?

He was sighing when a middle-aged scribe walked in. Seeing Deng Wenyu, he arched his hand and said, "Master Hou!" But worried about how to write papers? ”

When Deng Wenyu saw the visitor, he squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Mao! It's a shame to say that our army was defeated in this battle, and Ben Hou is worrying about how to write documents! ”

Mr. Mao didn't have a trace of worry on his face, but laughed: "Haha! Congratulations to Master Hou! Congratulations to the Marquis! Today's battle was a complete victory, and the Japanese did not dare to step into Jinling! ”

Deng Wenyu's eyes widened when he heard Mr. Mao's words, and then his face gradually softened. has been in officialdom for many years, Deng Wenyu understood what Mr. Mao meant.

Who said that the battle was defeated today? At least it didn't let the Japanese continue to get closer to Jinling, which was a big victory for the Marquis of Dingyuan. As for the loss of more than 10,000 men and horses, there is no way to do it, who will let the Japanese be brutal!

If he writes the document like this, Deng Wenyu, the Marquis of Dingyuan, is not only not at fault, but also has a great merit.

Deng Wenyu was overjoyed, and immediately discussed the details of the document with Mr. Mao, and finally made a great victory in the document. The generals who followed him in the battle were all killed, and they repelled more than 1,000 Japanese pirates in the first battle.

However, the Japanese are powerful, and it is impossible for Deng Wenyu to pursue them again. Just to block the Japanese from Jinling City, behind them is the lion opening his mouth to ask for all kinds of supplies.

What no one knew was that another fleet had quietly infiltrated the Longjiang Bao Shipyard. Zheng Zhilong stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the ruined shipyards around him, and sighed in his heart.

The original glorious treasure ship was finally lonely, and the largest fleet of the Ming Dynasty was born here. What a feat it was for the Three Treasure Eunuchs to go to the West seven times, and it was bluntly said by a group of people to be a waste of the treasury.

An ancestral ban on the sea blocked the Chinese people's exploration of the sea, and the hard work and spending countless silver to wipe the sea chart were also extinguished with a fire.

Forbidden Sea! Forbidden Sea! It is forbidden to the royal sea, and it is forbidden to the common people. Which of those coastal families is not inextricably linked with maritime merchants.

The forbidden sea is nothing more than another form of monopoly!
