Chapter 830: Bullying the Small with the Big

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

After discovering that the main force of the Ming army's naval division was heading in the direction of the water camp, Jiang Daqing immediately raised a warning flag in the direction of the water camp, and the Qing soldiers on the lookout on the shore immediately sounded the gong, and the Guazhou water camp was suddenly in chaos. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Damn, Taiping Kou is endless, come over every day, there is a kind of rushing in directly, don't fucking hit and run!"

Jiang Dushen general Ma Xiong walked out of the tent, while wearing a belt, while scolding, seeing his soldiers running around, he was even more angry, kicked on the ass of an unlucky guy, and scolded: "What are you running blindly, don't roll on the fort!" ”

"Your hat, my lord!"

Ma Xiong's own soldiers ran up and presented the official hat, and Ma Xiong took it and put it on his head, and ran to the fort while tying the belt. He was ruthless, this time he had to blow up and sink a few thief ships no matter what, to see if they dared to come again!

On the fort, the Qing soldiers were scrambling to wipe the barrels of the guns, moving boxes of iron bullets to the forts. In the harbor, warships also left the mouth of the canal and headed for the river.

"How many thief ships are coming?"

Duobi was also alarmed by the alarm, and while asking, he climbed up the high platform and looked at the river, but this look was shocked, only to see that the line of sight was full of sails, dense, and he was afraid of no less than hundreds of warships. What came to my ears was also the sound of war drums beating "dong dong" on the Taiping warships.

"Hurry up and report to the camp, Taiping Kou is coming to attack!"

With so many warships coming from the Taiping army, Duobi immediately realized that they were not simply attacking the water camp this time, and it was likely that they would also land, so he immediately ordered his own soldiers to report to the camp for help.

The Guazhou water camp was only more than 20 miles away from the large camp set up at the mouth of the old river, and reinforcements could arrive immediately on horseback. In the same way, without seizing the Guazhou Water Camp, the Taiping Army would not be able to attack the Qing army camp at the mouth of the old river. Guazhou Water Camp and Jiangbei Camp are horn relations, and both are indispensable. Just as the Beixinzhou Fort is important to the control of the Yangtze River, the Guazhou Water Camp is also very important to the Jiangbei Battalion.

"Get on board!"

Duobi ran to the dock without the slightest hesitation, the reason why the water camp is called the water camp is because there are sailors and warships. If their ships could not be deployed in time to meet the enemy, they could only be bombarded by the Taiping army. It is simply impossible to defeat the Taiping army by relying solely on the batteries on both sides of the water camp. Once the water camp warship is destroyed, then the Jiangbei camp will face the Taiping army, and the consequences will be unthinkable.

When he ran to the dock, Duobi saw that dozens of boats had left the port in an array, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that this bone eye, the group of sailors will be unreliable or mess with themselves. Fortunately, those people still know that they are worthy of the Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, the Taiping Army is coming to fight our water camp!"

One of Jiang Daqing's subordinates always deduced from the huge fleet of the Taiping army upstream that the other party was not attacking this time, but the whole army was attacking. Now there are only five ships on their side outside the port, and once the Taiping fleet arrives, they will not be able to run if they want to, so they ask the chief soldier to withdraw to the port immediately.

"I can't withdraw, I'll be here for me!"

Jiang Daqing refused to retreat, only dozens of warships in his line of sight hurriedly sailed out, and the rest of the warships had not yet had time to come out, he had to be nailed here to buy time for the water camp. It's not a harassment this time!

"My lord, shall we?"

The one was always stunned by this order, the enemy has hundreds of ships, and they only have five, don't they stay here to find death? But when he saw the angry eyes of the chief soldier, he immediately shuddered with fright, and he didn't dare to say anything about withdrawing.

"Those who violate the order will be killed!"

Jiang Daqing gave a strict order, the Qing Dynasty treated him well, if there was no Qing Dynasty, he would either be no longer in the world, or he would still be a water bandit with no future, how could he be the chief military officer. Eat the grain of the Qing Dynasty and be an official of the Qing Dynasty, and when the matter comes, he will have to die to repay the king. Otherwise, wouldn't he be worse than the rotten Confucians of the Ming Dynasty who were hacked to death by him back then?

The Taiping army on the Beixinzhou Fort in the distance noticed the Qing warship still staying on the river, and immediately opened fire on this side. In the sound of cannons, columns of water flew up on the left and right sides of the river in Jiang Daqing.

The huge fleet of the Taiping army upstream drove downstream with all its strength to the sound of war drums. The Yangtze River Naval Division, composed of the former Qing Army's Dongting Lake Water Division, Wuchang Water Battalion, and Jiangnan Water Division established in Nanjing, had more than 400 large and small vessels, and its strength was more than three times that of the Qing Army's Guazhou Water Battalion. If all the generals of the Taiping Army, including Zhou Shixiang, were worried about the battle on land, then on the water, the sailors of the Taiping Army were only a huge giant, which was far weaker than the Zheng army in Jinxia, but much stronger than the Qing army. The reason why the Guazhou water camp was not pulled out before was only because the sailors of the Taiping Army were not gathered.

Gan Hui and Yu Xin led 135 ships to form the left battalion of the naval division, Guo Faguang and Wei Dalong led 126 ships to form the right battalion of the naval division, and Zhong Ke and Li Benshen led the remaining more than 200 ships to form the Chinese army, which was also the fleet carrying the main force of the infantry attacking the Taiping Army.

Seeing the flags of the Chinese warships, Gan Hui and Yu Xin immediately ordered to sail at full speed. The left battalion was the first to enter, and the right battalion also drove out like an arrow, rushing towards the Guazhou water camp on the left and right.

"General, there are five Tartar ships ahead!"

"Bump into it!"

After discovering that there were five Qing warships in front of the Guazhou Shuiying Port in front of him, Gan Hui did not order an artillery bombardment at all, but directly ordered to crash into them.

More than a hundred warships marched in unison like black clouds, crashing into the poor five Qing ships like an iron wall. After the artillery shots, the Qing soldiers on the ship jumped off the ship one by one in fright.

Gan Hui's ship was a tall sea ship, and the small boats of the Qing army were as ridiculous as children in front of this sea ship. With a "bang", the ship hit a Qing warship, and the Taiping soldiers on the ship saw a Qing general who was waving a big knife and yelling and scolding at them disappeared under the bow of the ship in an instant.

The river kicked rapidly, and the planks that had fallen off the hull of the boat floated downstream along the river. One by one, whirlpools devoured the Qing soldiers who were struggling with their hands.

"Fire!"

Almost at the same time, the left and right battalions of the naval division shelled the Qing troops in the harbor at the same time. Amid the roar of the cannons, dozens of small boats laden with hay burst out of the flotilla, and the warriors on them shook the boats with all their might, smashing the oil canisters as they approached the enemy ships, and the flames suddenly rose. The cannon sound of the "Fire Dragon Gong" was extremely sharp, and the huge iron bullet pierced the warships of the Qing army that had been transformed into civilian ships in one fell swoop.

Why did Taiping Kou have so many warships?

Duo Bi looked at the huge Taiping army fleet in surprise and attacked his own weak fleet in surprise, if it weren't for the Taiping army's flag hanging on those warships, he even thought that the pirates of Jinxia and the Taiping Kou had joined forces.

This is not a mutual attack between the two at all, it is completely a big bully for the small!

Some book friends always talk about water, but in fact, I would like to say that the chapter on the tartar is the section I think I wrote best, and it is the core purpose of this book. This book is actually about Tartars, and I'm going to tell you that. (To be continued.) )
