Chapter 292: A Great Victory

For the Fat Army, the most difficult thing is the water battlefield north of the Jiujiang Water Gate, because the strength of the Fat Army Navy Division and the Qing Army Navy Division is too far apart. [No pop-up novel network]

The Qing Army's naval division has more than 200 large warships and thousands of light boats, most of which are newly built new ships and clippers, which are well-equipped and skillful, with more than 10,000 soldiers; On the side of the Fat Army, the Navy Division led by Li Guodong only has more than 50 warships of different models, of which 16 are still the old-fashioned warships brought by Li Guodong when he dedicated Yuezhou to Wu Laohan, and the oldest ships are almost catching up with the age of Lu Fatzi, with only about 4,000 soldiers, two-thirds of which are still composed of the Qing Army's surrender and the Wu Army's infantry after their transfer, and the situation of experience, training and morale can naturally be imagined.

Therefore, although Han Daren and Li Tianzhi and other generals have lured a large number of Qing warships to the water gate to attack with infantry under Lu Fatzi's clever plan, sinking and capturing a lot of Qing warships, and the Wu army artillery team commanded by Lu Yuer also sank and injured some of the Qing warships, but the strength of the remaining naval divisions of the Qing army is still above the strength of the Wu naval divisions commanded by Li Guodong. So even if the decisive battle in northern Jiangxi has come to an end, the fat army has already won the victory, and the fat army and sailor commanded by Li Guodong have always been helpless to take the remnants of the Qing army, not to mention the total annihilation of the enemy, and it is already Amitabha Buddha who can not suffer a big loss in the water war.

Although there is a huge disparity in strength, even future generations will follow Shi Dakai's anti-Qing rebellion Li Guodong's reputation for annihilation is not in vain, taking advantage of the opportunity of the demoralization of the Daqingshui Division after the middle plan, regardless of the enemy's strength is still above himself, he resolutely led the Wu Army Naval Division into the Daqingshui Division Brigade, and launched a broadside white-knuckle battle with the Daqingshui Division, while frantically killing the soldiers of the Daqingshui Division, while sending his son Li Jiyang to contact the Jiujiang Battery, so that the Wu Army's artillery continued to fire, and continued to bombard the Daqingshui Division, which had been mixed with the Wu Army's Naval Division!

The self-army has already been mixed with the enemy, and the self-army artillery is still firing at the battlefield, Li Guodong's tactics are so crazy that even Yu Yu'er was taken aback, and his beautiful big eyes shouted at Li Guodong's son Li Jiyang: "Your father is crazy? Our fleet is all messed up with a fleet full of dogs, and you want me to keep firing? What if we hit our own warship?! ”

"Miss Liu, please rest assured, my father is ready to die for the country." Li Jiyang replied with a straight chest: "There are more than 100 warships in Mangou, including 60 or 70 gunboats, and our sailors only have more than 50 variegated warships, most of which are old warships, with few troops and slow speed, and they are not the opponents of Mangou sailors at all!" Mangou has been paying attention to prevent our suicide sampan, thousands of small boats are entangled with our light boats, suicide sampans can not be dispatched at all, if we continue to fight like this, our sailors will undoubtedly lose, the only way to turn defeat into victory is to cover the battlefield with artillery fire, completely destroy the morale and fighting spirit of Mangou sailors, and our sailors have a chance! ”

Lu Yu'er continued to be dumbfounded, and after watching for a long time, she found that Li Jiyang didn't seem to be joking, so she shook her head and refused: "No, I can't do this, I can't let my own people be hit with artillery." ”

"Miss Lin, if you open fire, my father and the last general may not be able to come back, but there is still hope. If you don't open fire, your father and the last general will not be the opponent of the dog, and they will never come back. Li Jiyang replied in a deep voice, took out a letterhead written in blood from his arms, held it in front of Lu Yu'er with both hands, and said solemnly: "Miss Liu, this is a suicide note written by my father with his own blood, and it is for the prince." If the father and the last general can't come back, ask the girl to forward it to the prince for the father. ”

Looking at Li Guodong's bloody letter, Lu Yu'er's lips trembled, and she nodded after a while, tremblingly took Li Guodong's suicide note, and solemnly put it away, Li Jiyang gave a military salute to Lu Yu'er, and then let the soldiers put themselves down the fort with ropes, jumped on the self-army warship waiting by the river, set sail, and rushed to the fierce water battlefield without hesitation. Lu Yu'er trembled and issued an order, "Order all the batteries, aim at the surface battlefield, and open fire!" Before she finished speaking, Yu'er burst into tears.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! The Wu army battery, which had been silent for a while, roared again, pouring row after row of flowering shells onto the distant battlefield on the river, pouring it onto the battlefield of the naval division where the enemy and the enemy were intertwined, and in the bloody flotilla, it bombarded the bow of the naval division of the Wu army and the Qing army, and suddenly exploded everywhere on the battlefield, the flames and water splashed into the sky, the flags and broken masts flew all over the sky, and the screams and screams were everywhere.

Before the launch of the white-knives battle on the side of the port, Li Guodong had already informed the ships of his own army of his decision, so the officers and men of the Wu army had already been mentally prepared for this, and they just rushed and killed frantically, desperately jumped on the enemy warship to kill people and seize the ship, and threw alcohol incendiary bombs to burn the enemy ships. On the side of the Qing army, there was a complete chaos, and countless soldiers and generals of the Qing army were hysterically shouting, "Wu Dog is crazy!" Wu Dog is crazy! Wu Gou's fort is crazy! ”

"Is Wu Dog crazy?" Gente Baturu, who had already taken over the command of the Qing Army's naval division, was also dumbfounded and shouted in disbelief: "The people on the Wugou Fort are crazy? Didn't you see that the Wu Dog warship was already messing with us, and it was still firing at the battlefield? Aren't they afraid to hit their own ships? ”

The commander is still like this, not to mention the ordinary Qing army generals and Qing soldiers, in the rumbling artillery fire, the Qing army warships and Wu army warships one after another in the cannon fire, the mast collapsed, the deck was broken, the soldiers were blown to pieces and the flesh and blood were innumerable, the soldiers and soldiers of the Wu army who attacked the strong with the weak were not afraid, one was just desperately killing the enemy, but the soldiers and generals of the Qing army could not support it, and the already low morale also completely collapsed. Countless Qing soldiers surrendered on their knees, and many warships turned their bows and fled downstream in spite of Ghent Baturu's strict orders.

During the fierce battle, a loud "boom" came from the flagship of the Qing army, and a flowering cannonball fell on the deck of the flagship and exploded, taking away the lives of three or four Qing soldiers, blowing up the mast of the flagship of the Qing army, and also blowing up Ghent Baturu scolded, "it! This battle can't be fought! Shameless shameless Wu dog! ”

"Boom! Bang! Bang! "The sound of artillery is endless, the Qing warships and the Wu warships are constantly hit, and the soldiers of the Wu army's sailors, who are weak, charge and kill fiercely - they can't win anyway, and dying under their own artillery fire is the same as dying under the enemy's sword; The Qing army's naval division, which still had an overwhelming numerical advantage, completely lost its fighting spirit, and at the same time, because of the numerical superiority, the losses were even heavier under the indiscriminate coverage of the Wu army's artillery, so more and more Qing warships started the idea of smearing oil on the soles of their feet, and rushed to get out of the battlefield, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"Kill!" In the roar, I don't know what time, in the melee, there was a Wu army warship approaching the flagship of the Qing army, dozens of Wu soldiers jumped on the enemy ship, and rushed to the enemy on the deck with their knives, which frightened the Qing soldiers on the flagship into chaos, and hurriedly pounced to meet the battle, and the personal soldiers also hurriedly carried the scolding Ghent Baturu to the distance, and it happened that another shell fell on the side of the ship and exploded, stirring up water waves to splash all over Ghent Baturu, which made Ghent Baturu even more angry, so he had to shout: "Raise the flag, the whole army retreats downstream!" it, go to a place where there is no Wu Dog artillery, and then fight a decisive battle with the Wu Dog fleet! ”

The torch played the flag in the dark night, and the large and small ships of the Qing army, which had not had the slightest fighting spirit, were amnesty, and hurriedly rushed to retreat downstream, and the team was also in chaos, and the Wu army sailors pursued and killed with all their might, and the Wu army suicide sampan that had been bitten by the small boat of the Qing army sailors also took the opportunity to dispatch, and under the cover of night and chaos, the poisonous snake generally rushed to the Qing army's big ship, and once it hit, it ignited and dived, and then the earth-shattering explosion sounded near the waterline of the Qing army's warship, and then the warship began to sink gradually, Completely lost their escape efforts and combat effectiveness, the Qing soldiers on the ship either cried and shouted and jumped into the water to escape, or simply climbed onto the Wu warship and surrendered, and the losses were extremely heavy.

On the night of March 25, the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi in the Great Qing Dynasty, the Jiangnan Navy Division of the Great Qing Dynasty and the Wu Reverse East Road Army Naval Division fought a decisive battle in the Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River, the Wu Rebel Thief Army was despicable and shameless, and brazenly bombarded the two armies on the battlefield of the near side battle with heavy artillery, and killed countless soldiers of the generals of our Great Qingshui Division and the generals of the Wu Rebel Thief Army. As a result, only 69 warships and more than 3,000 soldiers of our Daqingshui Division withdrew from the battlefield, and nearly three-quarters of the casualties of the whole army were lost! β€”β€”A mite brick family in later generations Yan secretly described it.

………………

When the news reached the main battlefield of Meijiazhou, Lu Fatzi really couldn't believe his ears, until he understood the decisive battle, Lu Fatzi raised his eyes with tears in his eyes and shouted, "God bless Huaxia!" God bless China! I'm a Chinese man, and my backbone will never stopβ€”β€”! ”

"Tell all armies to tell every soldier the news that our army's naval division has defeated the strong with the weak and won a great victory! Long live Da Zhou! Long live the Great Zhou Water Master! ”

"Long live Da Zhou!" After the good news spread all over the battlefield, every soldier of the Wu army cheered wildly, and they were even more desperate in the decisive battle. And the Qing army, has been under the Wu army's rocket cover bombardment casualties more than half, morale completely collapsed, this will catch up with the Wu army's morale boost, suddenly even more unbearable, by the madman-like Wu army soldiers killed fart and urine, even rolling and crawling, ghosts crying wolf howl, anxious like a lost dog, eager for the grandmother to have two more legs, each lifeless head rat scurry, trampling on each other, armor and weapons sprinkled all over the field, falling into the water and tens of thousands of dead, Poyang Lake people and horses corpses floating, sinking with the waves, like riding the tide geese.

After receiving the news of the fiasco on the battlefield on the river, Hilgen, who was organizing the sixth wave of troops to cross the lake, vomited blood and fainted on the spot. ”

"General, I'm afraid it's too late." Military Counselor Ibahan choked up and said: "Wu Gou has already rushed to the dock, our troop transport ship has crossed the lake, and the soldiers have no time at all...... Board the ship. ”

"Do your best." Hilgen said with a strong spirit: "Give Zhang Simu, who commands the troop transport fleet, an order to tell the officers and men of our army on the other side that if they really can't withdraw, let them lay down their arms and surrender." ”

"General......." Ibahan cried out loud, saying that he didn't expect that Hilgen, who had led his army to fight since the beginning of the war, would also give the order for the soldiers to surrender one day.

"Go and give an order, although Lu Yifeng's dog thief is despicable, he is not a random and indiscriminate killing of innocent people." Hilgen smiled reluctantly, and before he could finish speaking, Hilgen spurted out another mouthful of blood, fell straight to the sky, and fainted again.

Under the crazy impact of the main force of the Wu army, the troop transport fleet led by Zhang Simu, the deputy commander of the Qing army's Jingkou, did not even have a chance to dock, and the soldiers of the Wu army even rushed to the Qing troop transport ship closer to the shore, killing the sailors and men recruited by the Qing army from the civilian population and escorting the Qing soldiers to seize the ship. There is no point in resisting, lay down your arms and surrender! ”

"Brothers, we can't help it, and the general can't help it, surrender! Brother Wu Jun, you said that if you surrender and don't kill, you must keep your promise! ”

The news reached Lu Fatzi, knowing that the victory was decided, Lu Fatzi did not want the soldiers to sacrifice in vain, and soon ordered the whole army to shout the slogan of surrender and not kill, and surrendered the Qing soldiers and generals who had been cornered.

For the Qing court, the day of March 25 of the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi is undoubtedly the darkest day, in just one day, the main force of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi was almost completely annihilated, nearly 60,000 troops participated in the decisive battle, only less than 4,000 remnants fled back to Nankang City, less than 15,000 land and water troops fled back to the east bank of Poyang Lake, and the rest were either annihilated or captured, and the losses of weapons, baggage and warships were incalculable. 16 generals at or above the level of deputy commanders were killed, captured and missing, more than 20 generals at the level of general soldiers, deputy general of Dingnan and Shangshu Hargaqi of the Ministry of Rites were killed, Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Jiangxi, Beile Henai, the commander of the Jiangnan Naval Division, Ilduqi, the commander of the escort army, Shi Jiabao, the commander of the Jiangnan Commander, was missing, Sange was missing, Yalai was killed, Zhao Hui was killed, Chang Jinggong was killed, Qiuketuo was captured, and Emu was killed..................

Behind this series of lists, there are naturally endless tears of sorrow for the families of the Qing Dynasty soldiers, but also the proud laughter of the Wu soldiers, and the smug smile on the fat face of the fat man, the Shuimen battlefield, the Meijiazhou battlefield and the Dagutang battlefield, there are happy smiles and loud military songs of the Wu soldiers everywhere, and countless Wu soldiers are jumping and singing, celebrating this hard-won victory, a complete victory! The name of the fat man of Lu Fatzi's god of war also resounded throughout the land of China again, cracking the gall of the Eight Banners!

In the early morning of 26 March, when the officers and men of the Wu army were still cleaning the battlefield and sheltering prisoners of war, the fat man Lu, who had always been stingy, had already ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the big white steamed buns and large pieces of meat were sent to the officers and men of the Wu army without money, so that the officers and men of the Wu army, who had been fighting hard for a day and a night, let go of their bellies and eat, and the battlefield naturally resounded with thunderous cheers. And the generals of the Wu army also came to the temporary camp on the Meijiazhou battlefield to celebrate the victory with Lu Fatzi.

Just fought a big victory, annihilated the main force of the Qing army in northern Jiangxi like maggots attached to the bones in one fell swoop, completely reversed the balance of power between the enemy and me on the battlefield in northern Jiangxi, the gathering of the senior generals of the fat army was immersed in a joy, everyone was smiling, everyone was full of joy, even if they never dealt with the Gao brothers and the Han brothers to meet, they even hugged and kissed for the first time, celebrating this rare victory, and resolutely let the self-army artillery fire on their own fleet Li Guodong father and son, also won the common respect of the generals of the Wu army, Dazan this pair of Qing annihilation father and son regarded death as home, and did not hesitate to risk their lives for the sake of victory.

After celebrating for a long time, the herald came to report, saying that the prisoners had been counted, and after three major battles yesterday, the Wu army captured more than 9,400 Qing army generals and soldiers, including more than 200 officers above the guerrilla alone, Lu Fatzi only thought about it for a while, and ordered to deal with the prisoners of war according to the previous method, and all the Han soldiers who were willing to join the army were recruited, and those who were unwilling to join were given twenty copper coins to cut off their braids and let them go, and the mite soldiers were willing to join the dedication, and those who were unwilling to join were first given to their companions as a nomination, All the rest cut off the thumbs of both hands and went into the prisoner of war camp, waiting to be escorted to Wuchang to sacrifice prisoners.

"General, what about that Itambu?" also saw Lu Fatzi's handling of the prisoner problem, Han Daren suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "According to the general's orders, the last general didn't kill that Itambu, but just locked him up." ”

"Bring him here." Lu Fatzi finally remembered this, first asked Han Daren to send someone to escort Itambu, and then instructed Gao Hongchen: "General Hongchen, please excuse me, call all the brothers you took to cheat gambling that day." ”

Han Daren and Gao Hongchen agreed together, and went down to make arrangements, and after a while, when Gao Hongchen brought a few Wu army veterans to cheat the gamble, they came first, and after a while, Itambu, whose hands were tied behind his back, was also escorted to Lu Fatzi. As soon as they met, the unlucky Itambu knelt down on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, crying and begging Lu Fat Man to spare his life, Lu Fat Man was angry and funny, first let people pick up Itambu, and then pulled out Xiao Erlang's waist steel knife, and walked to Itambu himself with the knife.

"General, spare your lifeβ€”β€”!" Seeing Lu Fat approaching with a knife, Itambu was so frightened that he struggled and kowtowed to beg for mercy, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Fat not only did not take him with a sacrificial knife himself, but cut the rope on his body with a knife. In this way, not to mention that Itambu opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded, even the generals of the Wu army were surprised, and asked one after another: "General, this guy eats inside and out, surrenders to our army and gives the full dog as an internal response, the crime deserves death, why did you let him go again?" ”

"Can't blame him." Fat Lu shook his head, beckoned a few Wu army elders brought by Gao Hongchen to the front, pointed at these old men and asked Itambu, "Itambu, do you know why General Ben didn't kill you?" ”

"Slaves don't ......, it's the general's compassion and the bodhisattva's heart." Itambu replied incoherently.

"Wrong." Lu Fatzi shook his head and said with a smile: "That day, a few of them cheated on your money, it was my arrangement, and afterwards I deliberately shielded the people who favored the gamblers, and let General Han Daren and his brothers encourage you to give Mangou as an internal response, which is also my arrangement, you give Mangou as an internal response, although you are guilty, but most of it is out of helplessness, and then lure the Mangou army out of the nest for a decisive battle, and you have made a great contribution." Therefore, not only will I not kill you, but I will reward you. ”

"General, the minions don't dare." Itambu quickly knelt down.

"Arise, get up, in our army, you are not allowed to call yourself a slaveβ€”that's a dog's insulting name, you are a man, not a dog." Fat Lu personally picked up Itambu again, smiled and said, "In this way, didn't they cheat you of five hundred taels of silver?" Now I won't let them pay you back, I'll reward you with another 1,000 taels of silver, and promote you to a lieutenant, you can forgive them for bullying you that day, right? ”

After that, Lu Fatzi turned to a few Wu army elders led by Li Ya, and said with a smile: "You bullied General Itambu badly enough that day, make amends to him today, don't be like this in the future, be a good friend, understand?" ”

Li Ya and the other Wu Jun agreed and apologized to Itambu together, and Gao Hongchen also came up and arched his hand to apologize to Itambu, but Itambu was so excited that he cried bitterly, struggled and knelt down on Lu Fatman's knees, hugged Lu Fatman's fat legs and cried: "General, slave ......, no, the last general!" The life of the last general is yours, and in the future, the last general will dare to do something sorry for you, sorry for the Great Zhou army, so that the last general will be thundered to the top, and there is no place to bury him! From today on, the last general will no longer be a banner man, the last general will be your sword, your spear, you call the last general to kill someone, the last general will kill someone for youβ€”β€”! ”

"Good, good, I believe you." Lu Fatzi nodded again and again, picked up Itambu again, turned to Han Daren and ordered: "General Han, you go and prepare a deputy general armor for General Itambu, let him change it, and then let him help collect prisoners of war." ”

Han Daren secretly admired the insidious and vicious of Lu Fatzi, and hurriedly agreed, and led Itambu down to change his clothes, and the generals of the Wu army next to him also suddenly realized, all of them were smiling, and the Wu army led by Li Ya was even more joking, and invited Itambu to receive the bounty before opening the gambling game, but of course Itambu said that he would not agree to anything, and only said that after he received the bonus, he must invite Li Ya and other Wu Jun to drink, and the nervous appearance of desperately shaking his head and refusing to gamble again naturally caused the audience to laugh.

"General, if it's okay, the little ones will take their leave." Seeing that Han Daren led Itambu away, Li Ya, who was very eye-catching, hurriedly led a few Wu army elders to say goodbye, Lu Fatzi first nodded in agreement, and then suddenly his heart moved, and shouted: "Wait." ”

Several Wu Jun elders were all in the same place, and they all quickly stopped, and Lu Fatzi smiled: "Li Ya stays, and the others go down and wait for the reward." Several Wu Jun elders agreed, saluted and retired together, leaving Li Ya to wait inexplicably in place.

"Li Ya, if I'm not mistaken, last time I asked Brother Dajie to find a clever person to fix Kong Sizhen, it seems to be you, right?" Fat Lu asked.

Li Ya nodded in acknowledgement, and Gao Hongchen next to him interjected and smiled: "The general is not mistaken, this kid is as fine as a crystal monkey, so last time he was pitted Sizhen, and this time he was pitted Itanbu, and he was not missing." ”

"Very good, I'm worried that I can't find a shrewd and capable person to help me do a big thing." Lu Fatzi was overjoyed, and personally lifted the felt hat on Li Ya's head, and found that his hair was quite long, and tying a fake braid was definitely not a problem, so he couldn't help but be even more happy, so he asked: "Li Ya, this general has a messenger who needs to use his brains to hand over to you, it is very dangerous, do you dare to go?" ”

"Please give the general's orders, the villain dares to disobey his orders." Li Ya agreed loudly, and asked tentatively: "General, what kind of messenger will make you say that you are in danger?" ”

"I have a friend who I saved his life, but I just don't know if he still misses me." Lu Fatzi replied, "So I would like to send a shrewd man to send him a letter to test him." ”
