The general soldier Zhang in the mouth of the officer of the "Han Army with Yellow Flag" is Zhang Jie, the chief soldier of Dinghai, Zhang Jie, Tian Xiong, Ma Degong and others are all from Huang Degong's command, if you add the left battalion of the Fubiao battalion guerrilla tube Chang Jingong was originally Zhang Jie's subordinates, the main generals of the three Qing armies on the northern front were all rebel generals who surrendered to the Manchu Qing after Huang Degong's death. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Qing army on the northern front set fire to the camp, and then fled north, and even Chen Guobao led the Pujiang battalion to cross the river to intercept it, and finally only intercepted a part of the Qing army that fell behind.

The Qing army fled without a single shot, and the losses of the soldiers may not be large, but there is no baggage, and the establishment is also in chaos, and the outlaw running along the way will inevitably lead to the scattering of many soldiers. For a while, this Qing army will not pose any threat for the time being.

It shouldn't have been like this, although Chen Wen had defeated the Tibiao Battalion, and had also used the terrain and strength advantage to completely annihilate the original Fubiao Battalion, but it was impossible for the Qing army to react in this way when they encountered his main force, at least they did not do so in the face of the attack of the Pujiang Battalion. Thinking about it, Hong Chengchou must have an order to strictly prohibit the green battalion from fighting with the main force of the Ming army, so the Qing army has no fighting spirit, and once the main force of the Ming army is found, they will subconsciously obey the order and follow the fear in their hearts.

The threat of the northern front was temporarily lifted, and Chen Wen also handed over a series of matters such as the treatment of the sick in Anhua Town, the cleaning and disinfection of the inside and outside of the fortress, the replenishment of troops and storage, and so on, to the garrison of the Zhengjiawu Town Battalion to assist in handling. And he has to return to the division as soon as possible.

The beacon fire in Zhengjiawu Town could not have been attacked from Zhengjiawu Town, there was no need for the Qing army to go around there to attack the supply center of an outpost, and it was impossible for the army to sneak there from the mountains of the east and west. The only possibility is that the Qing army broke through a Ming army's defense line, thus threatening a Ming army's fundamental place, and there is no need to think otherwise.

………………

A few days ago, when Chen Wen was still on the way north from Yiwu to Zhengjiawu Town, the Qing army in the direction of Tonglu dismantled the iron cable blocking the river early in the morning.

At noon that day, one after another warships sailed through Tonglu with the help of the wind, and went up the Fuchun River. This Qing army sailor was well aware of the hydrological situation in the area of the Fuchun River, and when it was getting dark, they had already arrived at the capital of Yanzhou Mansion.

The capital city of Yanzhou was located in Meicheng Town, where the Fuchun River and the Lanjiang River meet, and the Ming army had only a very small outpost here to maintain law and order in the city and to be used as a sentinel to use it. When the Qing army's naval division approached here, it was immediately discovered by the Ming army, and this small army that played the role of a beacon tower did not fail to live up to their mission, and only after lighting the beacon fire did it withdraw from the capital city and try to return to the south of Lanxi County.

The Qing army's sailors did not stop at all after arriving at the capital city of Yanzhou, leaving only a green battalion to take over the city and then turned south, continuing along Lanxi towards the hinterland of the Ming army.

At this moment, the sky is dark, and the wind direction is no longer as favorable as before, but the Chinese sails can use the angle to maximize the use of the wind, coupled with the effect of the oars, so that the Qing warships did not lose much in speed. Before dawn, the Qing army's sailors had already arrived at their destination, Lanxi County.

In the waters controlled by the Ming army, the Qujiang-Dongyangjiang-Lanjiang River, the Zhejiang inland water division was mainly responsible. The Yangjiang River in the east did not have a deep intersection with other water systems that entered the Qing army's occupied areas, so it was mainly mainly used for transporting soldiers and cargo ships, and only a small number of artillery and other self-defense equipment were added. On the Qujiang River, the ships of the Ming army were concentrated in the direction of Fucheng and Longyou, where there were probably nearly half of the warships of the inland water division. In addition, the other warships were all concentrated in several military docks in Lanxi County, in case the Qing army entered this water area from the Qiantang River.

The beacon fire has arrived along the Lanjiang River to Lanxi County, but I don't know if the Qing army is just to recover the capital city of Yanzhou, or whether it is coming in a big way, it is difficult to decipher too many answers from the beacon fire.

Fortunately, Vice Admiral Qian of the Zhejiang Inland River Naval Division did not take it lightly, and not only adjusted the naval division's warships to better and faster engage the Qing army from the dock, but also used the observation posts along the river and the lights of the county town to better observe the situation on the Lanjiang River. However, when the Qing army's sailor appeared in front of the Ming army, it still shocked the senior officer of the Zhejiang navy division and was speechless.

The warships of the Qing Army's naval division appeared in sight one after another, and the battleships led by them were even under the banner of the Qiantang Naval Division. The Qiantang Naval Division has a fixed number of 2,000 soldiers, and there are more than a dozen large warships alone. Even in the farther direction, a series of fires could be faintly seen coming in the direction of Lanxi County.

In contrast, although the water camp has also been expanded in the past two years, Chen Wen spent a lot of money on building warships, and the wood of the battleships needs to be dried for several years before they can be used.

At this moment, the Qiantang Water Battalion, which has 2,000 sailors and more than ten large warships, is only facing half of the Zhejiang Inland River Division, and the number of troops and ships is only more than a quarter of that of the Qing army.

"General, there are too many Tartar ships, we are no match at all."

Vice Admiral Qian knew very well what the captain of the ship meant, he had no chance of winning this order of magnitude Qing warship, rather than staying here and waiting for death, it was better to avoid the edge for the time being and wait for the future. But for him, the account can no longer be counted in this way.

"There is no time, inform the defenders and light the beacon. In addition, the order was sent to the ships to sail out of the docks, and here we fought the Tartars to the death, always buying the marshal and the rest of his comrades some time. ”

A moment later, the Ming warships slowly sailed out of the dock, while the Qing fleet had passed through the waters of the outer polder and regrouped.

On the river several hundred meters wide, the fleets of the Ming and Qing armies were already far away, reflecting the moonlight and the lights shining from the city, and Vice Admiral Qian could even vaguely see that the warships of the Qing army had set up an offensive formation.

The night wind blew Ling Yu, Vice General Qian looked in the direction of Jinhua Mansion City and sighed deeply, his parents, wife and children lived there, but since then......

"Raise the sails, raise anchor, and all ships attack freely!"

The wind direction is not smooth, but it is the same for the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Fortunately, the Ming army still had the advantage of going downstream, and after the order of Vice General Qian was issued, the Ming army's warships sailed towards the Qing army at a very fast speed.

In water warfare, speed is crucial, so the mastery and utilization of wind direction, wind speed, and the direction and speed of the water flow are the factors that test the ability of the commander of the water battle. At this moment, the night has already fallen, although the number of sailors of the Ming army is small, but the Qing army is in a state of countercurrent, and the speed is far inferior to the warships of the Ming army.

The Ming army came quickly, and the ships of the Qing army all fired back, but the cover of the night, the impact of the ships shaking on the water on the artillery, the asymmetry of the speed of the two sides, and various reasons, so that the shells they came like a torrential rain could often only cause a splash on the water.

However, when it got closer, the huge advantage of the Qing warships was revealed, and the artillery on the Ming ships could indeed bombard the hull of the Qing army with their eyes closed, but the Qing army's condescending shooting and throwing firearms such as firearms were simply impossible for the Ming army to resist.

A moment later, the Ming warships were either captured by the Qing army, or they were aimlessly advancing on their own with raging fire along the current. Only Vice Admiral Qian's large ship was still struggling to support, but it was also blazing.

In the next second, I saw Vice Admiral Qian push away the captain who had just been hit and fell on the rudder, looked at the direction in which the commander of the army was sitting, and fiercely broke the rudder to another angle.

"Stop him!"

The roar of the guerrillas of the Shuizuo Battalion of the Qiantang Navy Division had not yet dissipated, and I saw that the main ship of the Ming army, which had already ignited a raging fire, collided directly with the ship of the commander of the Qing army under the acceleration of the wind and the current. For a time, the flames fused the two ships into one in a huge shock, and the firelight illuminated the entire river, and also reflected the county town of Lanxi, which was being attacked by the Qing army.
