"Chase, chase—"

"Chase me—"

Yang Shijin was furious by the U-turn of the Qing army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info let people play the flag at the moment, and tell Xu Youruo and Chen Dai in the back, don't put up any battles, hurry up and chase them.

The atmosphere on the large Thunder ship was different for a moment. From the officers to the soldiers, there was not a trace of triumph on their faces to scare away the enemy, nor was it the nervousness and solemnity before the battle just now, but a kind of urgency, from top to bottom from the urgency in the bones. Even the gunners and sailors yelled at the east.

"Commander." Zhu Hui's heart beat twice, he didn't know whether he should take this head, but seeing that there were so many people around him, none of them reminded Yang Shijin, he still took a step forward and walked to Yang Shijin's side and said, "Let the fast crab boat go first." ”

"Between the mouth of the Yangtze River and Zhoushan, there are too many silt shoals, such as thunder boats, shuttle boats and other big boats, which have to go through deep waterways, but small boats like fast crab boats can run rampant." That is to be able to take shortcuts! There is also more room for manoeuvre in the event of a firefight.

Their current location is not at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it has been two hours since the boat, and it is not far from Yangshan. On the water west of Yangshan, ships such as fast crab boats can completely run rampant on the water. "As long as there is one or two Qing troops, our army will be able to arrive."

"The commander is benevolent and righteous, and he does not want to let the sergeants die or wound too much. But Ci is not in charge of the army, and victory is important. ”

"His Royal Highness Duke Lu is looking forward to the victory of the sailor, but he wants to wear it."

Zhu Li had been to Guangzhou, where such fast crab boats often haunted the Pearl River estuary and plundered merchant ships. Raise the oars without wind, raise the sails in the wind, and use the oars and sails together if necessary. Large fast crabs, with a long and narrow hull, can have more than 20 oars on each side, each with two strong men, walking on the water like flying. When they were pursued by officers and soldiers, they fled if they could, and if they could not escape, they opened fire and resisted arrest, which was quite a headache for officers and soldiers.

But apart from the Pearl River estuary, Zhu Mian had never seen such a ship anywhere else. I don't want to restore the Han army, and the sailors here also made a large number of such clippers. In this way, it is indeed a sharp weapon to put it in a waterway like the Yangtze River.

Yang Shijin's heart was hit hard by Zhu Li's words.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and victory is important! Chen Ming's eyes were eager to penetrate the good news ......of the sailor, and it was like a 10,000-pound giant hammer that smashed Yang Shijin's heart fiercely!

"That's it. It's me, Yang Shijin, who can't stand them. Yang Shijin closed his eyes sadly.

He was just the head of the platoon, and what he could get out of the way was righteousness, that is, he loved his brothers. But there are times on this battlefield when you have to sacrifice your life to fight. If he only made the decision by himself, Yang Shijin would have chased after the entire fleet vigorously, and he would not be willing to use the manpower of the fast crab boat to fill the cannon hole. Zhu Li pushed him hard!

The flag order was issued. The sixteen fast crab boats that accompanied the expedition did not hesitate for a moment, and were divided into four teams, and the four leaders all played the banner of a decisive battle.

One by one, they were full of sails, oars and sails were used together, like four sharp arrows, and it didn't take long for only one tail to show Yang Shijin.

Fast crab ships often have five-pound main guns in the bow, and the small cannons on both sides are all two or three pounds of specifications, and each gun position has a fishing net to guard, and the combat effectiveness is really not weak in the inland river. But to take to the sea to compete with serious foreign warships is pure death.

Yang Shijin didn't know what kind of feelings the officers and soldiers on the sixteen fast crab boats felt after receiving his order, and he didn't know how many of these fast crab boats would be left when they completed their tasks.

Even if he chases Zhoushan, he will chop Chai Daji! Chop firewood Daji!

When people helplessly break through their psychological bottom line, they always have to find a target to vent.

Zhu Lian quietly went to the rudder, standing beside Yang Shijin, he felt 'hot' panic. Yang Shijin's eyes were eager to breathe fire. Living under such a 'leader' is quite a pleasant thing. But in his heart, Zhu Min was a little disdainful of people like Yang Shijin, and felt that Yang Shijin did not put himself in the right position.

He is now the commander of the inland water division of the Fu Han Army, but he is not the original platoon leader. When he was at the head of the platoon, he could be righteous to his brothers; As a commander, you can't be righteous with your soldiers.

Yang Shijin didn't take Zhu Li in his eyes at this time, and he didn't have the leisure to get angry at Zhu Li. The man stood straight at the bow of the ship, listening to the rumbling of the cannon ahead, and stood for an hour, and seeing that the time was running towards five o'clock, the lookout on the mast suddenly shouted loudly: The ships ahead have stopped!

"The warship of the Qing army has sailed!"

The shouts of the lookout soldiers were already echoing in Yang Shijin's ears, but Yang Shijin himself couldn't come back to his senses. What's going on?

Qing warships sailed?

How can a warship sail on the sea? I can't move, and the ship is just a pile of meat on the board.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and Zhu Li, who is holding a telescope, also looks kindly, twenty or thirty Qing warships have indeed dissailed, and the sound of cannons has been extinguished, and then there are several warships that have not sailed on the farther sea, large ships and small boats [fireships], and they have been heading east at full speed at this time. Far away, only a small dot was left in the distance above the sea.

"The Qing army surrendered, and Chai Daji surrendered......"

Two quarters of an hour later, the sun had reached the surface of the sea, and in the last afterglow of the sunset, thousands of soldiers of the Han army cheered to their heart's content. Two of the sixteen fast crab ships suffered a little damage, and the battle ended with Chai Daji's surrender.

Yang Shijin was puzzled why Chai Daji chose to surrender, but the Qing army did surrender. Twenty-five of the thirty warships surrendered with Chai Daji, and forty-four of the fifty fireships surrendered with them. Therefore, although the military attache of the Qing army beside Chai Daji was unconvinced, Yang Shijin also smiled on his face, and he did not blame him.

Shi Xinxiong surrendered with Chai Daji, but in the face of Yang Shijin, he didn't say a soft word, nor did he soften half a bone.

He is the most useful person in front of Chai Daji, Chai Daji just looks at his personality, but Shi Xinxiong prides himself on being Chai Daji's number one henchman. So Chai Daji ordered a retreat, and he retreated no longer if he felt appropriate; Chai Daji ordered Xia Fan to surrender, and he was no longer angry and let Xia Fan surrender.

Shi Xinxiong and Chai Daji were 'invited' by Yang Shijin to his large thunder ship, along with a group of officers such as Qianzong, Garrison, and Dusi on twenty-five warships.

The conditions on the ship were very simple, but Yang Shijin still went all out to organize a 'feast'. There are also cans of canned food for the bacon stored at the bottom of the ship, and all the pieces are there. There was no alcohol in the army, so tea was used instead.

The officers who came aboard the ship were either hopeless about the future of the Manchu [South], or their hometown had fallen under the control of the Han army. A group of people were polite when they faced Yang Shijin, including Shi Xinxiong. Even if there are still seven disagreeable and eight resentful in his heart, and his face is cold, he will not 'kill himself' to top Yang Shijin.

In this banquet, the real thoughts of the people waiting in the seats are not to say or ask, the general climate is peaceful, humble and closed, and the lively end. After drinking, a group of Qing army surrendered military attaches were each sent to the 'guest room' that was urgently packed up. Those were the original officers' and sailors' bedrooms.

The sailors on the ship emptied the thin and narrow planks and bedding in the original cabin, and used nail wood to build a 'wide bed', and even Yang Shijin himself gave up his bedroom.

This house is two points more spacious than the bedrooms on Chai Daji's original ship, Chai Daji is lying on the quilt, the burden on his shoulders is completely thrown off by him, and the open window keeps pouring the cool night breeze, Chai Daji feels that he is relaxed and comfortable.

A big stone landed in his heart.

Yang Shijin personally carried a pot of water to the room, and the two sat down on the stool on the side, Yang Shijin looked at Chai Daji with three points of hesitation, Chai Daji's eyes did not dodge, but they were frank and open.

"Haha, don't you dare to hope for that." Yang Shijin said that Chai Daji has made a great contribution this time, Chen Ming will be rewarded, and they will be colleagues in the future, and they all hope to take care of each other in the future. Chai Daji haha said: "Chai is also a person who has gone back and forth in life and death, and his heart to get ahead has long faded."

I just want to meet His Royal Highness Duke Lu, so that I can return to the field.

When Quzhou Mansion [Zhezhong] was taken by the army, he just returned to his hometown in Jiangshan and was satisfied to be a rural idler. ”

Yang Shijin listened to Chai Daji's words and felt that it was sincere? It made him unbelievable. Is he having the wrong ear, or is he really just going to be deceived? When he walked out of the room, his mind was also dizzy. The current Fu Han Army can really be said to be the general trend. Sitting in the south of the Yangtze River and connecting Huguang, as long as Jiangxi is taken, the army enters Nanling, and the two Guang are captured? Half of the country has been decided, and a great future is ahead!

How could Chai Daji not be an official and not get involved? Was it his loyalty to the Manchus?

"Hell he'll surrender if he's the hell."

Chen Dai and Xu Youruo were also on this large thunder ship, and there were some pipe belts. Well, Chen Mingrang couldn't call the bow and the officer. If this thunderous ship exploded at this time, then the entire Fuhan Army Naval Division would suffer heavy losses.

Outsiders don't know the burden in Chai Daji's heart, so even many officers of the Qing army were shocked by his 'surrender', and Yang Shijin, Chen Dai and others felt abrupt and weird. Always look at the surrendered Qing army with a vigilant gaze!

On the same day, the fleet anchored at Xiaoyangshan. The next morning, the sun rose from the sea in the east, and the glow shone on the warships, the horn sounded, and the huge fleet was divided into two under the vigilant and suspicious eyes of the indigenous people of Xiaoyangshan, and a group continued to carry a large number of fireships under the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, heading towards Chongming; The other group was dominated by the warships of the Fu Han army, full of sails and headed straight for Zhoushan!

Yang Shijin didn't go to Zhoushan, he was on the boat before Chai Daji, and the sailors and gunners were all mixed in two. There are also dozens of small sampan boats, which shoot like arrows into the sea with open sails.

He just wasn't at ease. Chai Daji surrendered too lightly and easily. Although Yang Shijin racked his brains last night and made the officers and men of the Marine Battalion vigilant all night, he also found that there was something wrong with the Qing officers and soldiers who surrendered. Even thinking about Chai Daji's surrender in terms of conspiracy, he couldn't think of any tricks for the Qing army to turn the tables in this situation.

But he just wasn't at ease.

Therefore, he handed over the attack on Zhoushan to Chen Dai and Xu Youruo, and personally led the 'fleet' back to Wusongkou.

When Chai Daji surrendered, he sent someone back to Pudong by small clipper last night, and he didn't know if the news had been delivered to Chen Ming at this time. Yang Shijin stood on the deck of the big ship, his face was as calm as a mirror, and his heart was turbulent.

And Chai Daji, who was staying in the cabin, very rarely turned out the "Zheng Banqiao Collection" that he originally used to look like, and looked at it leisurely while lying on the bed. He really made up his mind to quit the army, and in the night talk with Yang Shijin last night, he sincerely recommended Shi Xinxiong to Yang Shijin, but he was self-deprecating and self-deprecating to himself. But the more he felt like this, the lighter he became.

Books such as "Zheng Banqiao Collection" were used for decoration in the past, and now Chai Daji is also very thoughtful to take a closer look. "I can't say that I will have to put some effort into this in the future." Chai Daji studied literature at an early age, and later abandoned literature to learn martial arts, and also became a martial artist. But he didn't have nothing to accumulate in writing and ink.

When Shi Xinxiong came to him with a lunch box, he looked at Chai Daji's casual appearance, and felt that he was really at a loss.

"What do you think, sir?"

Shi Xinxiong had already met with Yang Shijin, and knew that Chai Daji had strongly recommended himself in front of Yang Shijin. If nothing else, his future is absolutely guaranteed. But what about Chai Daji himself?

Chai Daji didn't put down the scroll in his hand, just raised his head and smiled slightly.

……

At this time, outside the mouth of Wusong.

There was a sound of cannons on the water surface of Yawosha [part of Changxing Island], and large sampan boats and long dragon boats, as well as a small number of fast crab boats, took advantage of the first morning light after dawn to rush out of Wusongkou early.

It's the third day of the battle!

The main flotilla of the Fu Han army did not return, and the figure of the Qing army's Chai Daji Department did not appear.

As soon as the sun rose from the sea, Luo Daliang, who stayed in Wusong, rushed to Yawosha with these inland river warships. The day before yesterday, he was really caught off guard by Huang Zhenggang, and the few warships left outside could not parry the large forces of the Qing army at all, and the main force of the remaining naval division was blocked in the Huangpu River.

Of course, they are not useless in the Huangpu River. From the afternoon of the day before yesterday to the day before yesterday, the Qing army sent several large rushing boats, shuttle boats, and other main forces to break through the artillery positions along the Huangpu River, intending to continue to raid inward, so they drove them back. In the Huangpu River, the Qing army lost a total of three large rushing boats, a large shuttle boat, and two large water boats, plus the damage caused by the head artillery outside the river, the Qing army paid a very heavy price in the past two days.

The Fu Han army was also damaged, 14 cannons were damaged, more than 200 gunners and logistics troops were killed and wounded, the sailors in the Huangpu River also sank three fast crab boats and a long dragon boat, and 11 large sampan boats were wounded and retreated to a deeper place to repair them.

The warships of the Qing army were anchored on the water surface of Yawosha for the past two nights, and Huang Zhenggang also sent some small boats to patrol the mouth of the Huangpu River at night, and the Fu Han army fired floating rows and underwater dragon king cannons from the Huangpu River. Even early yesterday morning and this morning, when Luo Daliang rushed out with the fleet, there were large sampan boats and long dragon boats that were pierced by the floating rafts released by his own house.

Yesterday, Luo Daliang failed to break out of Wusongkou, and the reinforcements of the Qing army came quickly, blocking him back. Today, it was relatively smoothly highlighted outside the mouth of Wusong, and it was killed all the way to the duck nest sand.

Although by the time they broke through the blockade of the Qing warships at Wusongkou, and then rushed to the surface of the Yawo Sand, the Qing warships anchored there were already full sails and ready to go.

"Morale is not discouraged!" Luo Daliang did not immediately turn around and run in the face of the main force of the Qing army's naval division, but led the remaining fast crab boats to bravely rush into his queue, letting the long dragon boats and large sampan boats fight around the periphery. Chen Ming on the shore was still very satisfied with his bravery.

The loss of a couple of ships, some sailors is not terrible.

This courage is even more important.

It's the same as the name of the TV series in the previous life, Bright Sword!

No matter how many shortcomings Luo Daliang has, at least he dares to hit the head of Huang Zhenggang, who has an absolute advantage in strength, even if he suffers some losses, how can Chen Ming blame him.

This time, the army swept southern Jiangsu, entered northern Zhejiang, captured Hangzhou and Ningbo, and a large number of ship materials were in his hands. The ship sank and rebuilt it!

"Your Highness, Commander Yang has sailed through Chuansha with the surrendered Qing warship."

At 3:20 p.m., the naval division of the Fu Han Army had retreated into the Huangpu River again, and the Qing army continued to bombard the artillery positions on the shore of the Fu Han Army.

"Smack." The pocket watch closed the lid, and Chen Ming was frantically calculating in his head...... (To be continued.) )
