Chapter 453: Action
Near noon, when the weather is the hottest and hottest, and it is also the time when people are most sleepy, on the water surface of the Yangtze River, there are several formations of thunder warships, lined up in turn, between each other, but a distance of a thousand meters, Zhuge Mou and Cai Lian have already returned and joined Yang Lin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Yang Lin was not afraid of the scorching heat, standing on the deck with a big sun, his eyes burning, looking into the distance, the dock north of the Yangtze River. Beads of sweat ran down his cheeks, and Yang Lin still maintained his inherent posture, just looking into the distance, waiting.
Suddenly, without warning, Yang Lin shouted so quietly: "Qi Zhiyuan, Zhuge Mou, Cai Lian, listen, wait a while, after we board 6 and go ashore, you don't have to wait any longer, just leave and carry out your actions." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, a little unclear, Qi Zhiyuan took a step forward, groaned slightly, and then asked: "That, report to the marshal, the rest of the brothers south of the Yangtze River, don't you need to transport them?" ”
Yang Lin turned his head, glanced at Qi Zhiyuan, looked back into the distance again, observed the river, and said lightly: "No need." ”
The surrounding people were stunned for a while, very puzzled, wasn't it discussed beforehand? An army of 400,000 crossed the Yangtze River and marched to the north, but at this time, it cut down 100,000 people at once and stayed south of the Yangtze River, which is a bit incomprehensible. Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Yang Lin said again: "However, although those people don't have to be transported to the other side, you have to take them and go to the waters of the Yellow River with you." ”
The thunderous generals didn't understand it anymore, especially Qi Zhiyuan, Zhuge Mou, Cai Lian, and Zhang Baozai, who hadn't had a task for a long time, they were also puzzled, and they didn't know what Yang Lin's intentions were? Why is this arranged? Even if the scale of the thunder is increased, this number is too many, and even if you have the heart to swallow it, there is not such a warship for equipping~
Although he didn't see everyone's puzzled expressions, Yang Lin seemed to feel what they were thinking, and explained: "The reason why I asked you to bring those 100,000 people is not to supplement your Thunder troops, but to let you transport them to the Yellow River and place them on the south coast of the Yellow River. ”
At this time, Zhang Baozai's eyes suddenly released a glimmer of light, revealing a sudden look, and asked with some certainty: "Marshal, do you mean that these 100,000 troops should be stationed on the south coast of the Yellow River, coordinate the Thunder Navy, and completely block the south coast and water surface of the Yellow River from the two aspects of water and 6, and prevent anyone from crossing the Yellow River, so as not to let anyone report to the Qing court?" ”
Yang Lin turned his head, looked at Zhang Baozai with a smile on his face, and said approvingly: "Brigade Commander Zhang, yes, this is my plan, using the Yellow River as a barrier to completely isolate the land south of the Yellow River from the Manchurian Tartar court, and there is no information. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else suddenly realized, and Zhuge Mou even said: "In this way, even if we fight upside down in the Central Plains, the war is rumbling, and the wolf smoke is everywhere, it will not reach the Qing court, and the war in the southwest will not reach the Qing court, and from the overall situation, the Qing army in Sichuan will become an isolated and helpless army, trapped in an embattled situation, which is more conducive to the military operations of Commander Huo." ”
"Yes, once the Yellow River completely falls into our hands, some stubborn resisters will have to go around in a big circle to rush to the capital from the northwest or northeast if they want to spread the news here to the Tartar Emperor, even so, when the news reaches the ears of Qianlong and Jiaqing, the war here is over, and nothing can be changed, let alone save the elite of the Qing court in Sichuan."
"What's more, at that time, the entire land of China was cut into several parts by us, and the Qing court was only a corner of peace, only part of the area north of the Yellow River lost the financial support of Guangdong and Lianghuai, and there was no food supply in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, even if the Qing court had the heart to go south to support, why should it fight us?"
At this moment, there was a voice in everyone's hearts, when the Tartar army entered the customs back then, it was so strong, so public, and so unscrupulous and arbitrary killing, and now they also taste the feeling of being reduced to fish and meat, and feel the slaughter that is powerless to resist.
From beginning to end, although Qi Zhiyuan did not speak, he expressed any opinions, and when the marshal said this, seeing that the matter had been almost explained, he immediately saluted and said: "Yes, marshal, I promise to complete the task, and I will definitely transport the 100,000 6th Army to the north of the Yellow River!" ”
In an instant, the others chimed in, assuring.
Yang Lin still smiled faintly, and said again: "To tell you, it is not for you to simply transport 100,000 troops to the north of the Yellow River, but to require both of you to cooperate with each other and tightly seal the Yellow River. At the same time, you Thunder are also tasked with supplying the logistics of the 100,000-strong army. ”
"Yes, Marshal~!" Everyone responded in unison.
After all the arrangements, Yang Lin took out the binoculars and observed the water surface of the Yangtze River again, then looked at the dazzling sun, and said loudly: "Release the signal and tell Chao Sheng that you can act." ”
Immediately, with the transmission of the flag order, from east to west, along the Yangtze River, more than a dozen red lanterns floated up one after another and rose into the air.
At the same time, just when Yang Lin was wrapped in thunder and led the army to approach the north of the Yangtze River, and the warships were slowly moving, far away in the various wharves along the north of the Yangtze River, as well as around important strategic places such as forts, a group of soldiers of the Qilin Army or Kongtong were hidden in the shadows, ambushing, holding steel guns with both hands, and their bodies were in a tense state, like a hunting leopard, about to rush to the prey.
Gradually, a Kong Ming lantern appeared in the sky, appeared in the sight of the scouts, and immediately someone told Chao Sheng this signal, without any hesitation, Chao Sheng stood up angrily, rushed out of the ambush, killed a Qing court soldier in the distance, and shouted at the same time: "Chong, take the target, capture the various forts, capture the dock, and cover the brother troops to board the 6!" ”
"Rush!"
Da Da...
All of a sudden, the shouts of killing shook the sky and resounded through the sky, and the sound of gunfire and shouts were intertwined, forming a shock wave.
All the soldiers rushed out of cover and ran wildly, constantly pulling the trigger with their right hands, and the bullets were pouring from the chambers of their guns, like tongues of fire, strafing the Qing garrison and killing the Qing soldiers patrolling around the docks.
Fresh lives are passing, a slightly warm corpse fell to the ground, blood flowed, the soldiers of the Kongtong Army and the Qilin Army were like tigers descending from the mountain, charging fearlessly, no one took a step back, no one stopped moving, they were all charging, even Chao Sheng.
Da Da...
Bang bang...
Along the northern part of the Yangtze River, around the various wharves and forts, there were only bursts of gunfire, continuously, without any cannon sound, even if these suddenly attacked soldiers hung grenades on their waists, none of them used them, just to ensure the integrity of the wharf.
Soon, one pier after another was occupied, one by one fort was seized, at this moment, it was simply a slaughter of one side against the other, and the Qing soldiers guarding there were all armed with broadswords and spears, and in the face of hot weapons such as steel guns, they had no resistance and could only be killed.
When the battle was about to come to an end, the Qilin Army and the Kongtong Army had almost no casualties, and even the military uniforms they wore were the same as when they charged.
Seeing this, Chao Sheng immediately ordered the flag commander on his side: "Pass the order, all the soldiers who can row on the pier go into the water, row the small boats on the dock, and make room for our large warships!" ”
At the sound of the order, the soldiers jumped up one by one, jumped to the small boats near the pier, the slightly larger ships, and groups of soldiers poured in, quickly clearing the ships near the pier, rowing far away, waiting for the thunderous large warships to approach.
At the same time, Chao Sheng's order did not stop, and continued: "Pass the order, let the soldiers on the dock obey the order, immediately clean up the open space on the dock, and remove all the debris, so that our cavalry and war horses can go ashore without the slightest hindrance." ”
All of a sudden, the soldiers near the dock were all moving, clearing the debris, or pulling the corpses away, everyone was moving, clearing all the obstacles on the dock, and the warship was getting closer and closer...... (To be continued.) )
