"Newspaper! The Mangou Sailor Division turned around for the third time to attack the Tiger Ferry, and our troop transport fleet was still nearly a mile away from the north shore! ”

"Newspaper! The Mangou Naval Division launched an attack on our troop transport fleet, but our Naval Division has not sent troops to intercept it so far, and it seems that it is possible to escape in fright! ”

"Report ――――――! As soon as our troop transport fleet came ashore, the Mangou Water Division had already rushed into our fleet, and had already started a battle with the defenders of our army on the river bank. However, for some reason, our army's naval division has not yet appeared on the battlefield! ”

One by one, the urgent meteor express was sent into the camp of the Wu army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and directly into the sleeping tent where Wu Lao Han Jian rested, and most of the generals of the Wu army who rushed to the sleeping tent to wait for the order were anxious to become ants on the hot pot, and they all looked at Wu Lao Han Jian anxiously, waiting for Wu Lao Han Jian's troops to answer the order, but Wu Lao Han Jian, who got up in his clothes to listen to the report, yawned greatly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is no need to report again, generals, go back to rest, there is nothing for you tonight." ”

"None of our business?" Xia Guoxiang was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stepped forward and clenched his fists and exclaimed, "Father-in-law, how can you say that there is no business for us?" Now that the Mangou Sailors are attacking our troop convoys, and our Sailors are nowhere to be found, the situation is so critical, how can it be said that there is no business for us? ”

"The situation is critical, but the crisis is not us, it is full of dogs." Wu Laohan smiled and said casually: "If the old man is not wrong, this will be full of dog water masters should also find out that the situation is wrong." Rest assured, Yifeng's ability to understand that we have won this water war. ”

"Lord Wang, you can't be so optimistic, right?" Wang Shirong also stood up and said cautiously: "Before, Lin Xingzhu's division of our sailor and Xu Zhidu's division of the Mangou sailor fought three times, and all of them returned, what is our sailor doing, you don't know yet, how can you be so optimistic that our army will win?" ”

"You don't understand river warfare." Wu Laohan smiled even more happily, and said proudly: "Although the old man is not very proficient in water warfare, the old man also knows that in the river water war, the most important thing is the wind direction and water flow. Now Yifeng is using troop carriers as bait to attract the full dog sailors, but our sailors are nowhere to be found, what are they doing? What else can you do but grab a favorable position to go with the wind? ”

"Besides, Yifeng also created a head start for us." Wu Lao Han Jian added even more proudly: "In one day, he has already tossed the full dog water division back and forth three times, how much physical strength can the soldiers of the full dog water division have now?" We have seized the favorable terrain with leisure, and we can't win this battle again, so the old man sees that Lin Xingzhu should not be the deputy chief soldier of the water division, and he can go directly to the prison and squat. ”

Wu Lao Han Zhan has so much trust in Lu Fatzi, and the generals of the Wu army will inevitably be suspicious, but Wu Lao Han Jian did not give the public a chance to continue to ask, but just waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's all go down, those on duty at night should strengthen their patrols, and the others should have a good rest, and when Yifeng pulls out this small nail on the periphery, it is time for you to pull out the big nail in Jingzhou." ”

Although the generals of the Wu army were not completely relieved, they saw that Wu Lao Han had already said it to this point, and they no longer insisted, and they all went back to the camp to rest according to the order. At the same time, throughout the second half of the night, the battlefield at the ferry port was indeed full of shouts and killings, artillery explosions, and constant explosions, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

In the early morning of the next day, the good news came, after losing three or four hundred soldiers, the Wu army, which had seized the upper reaches and the upper hand, turned around and killed the Qing army. The exhausted Qing army sailors could not form effective resistance at all, and were defeated by the Wu army sailors who swore revenge, and twenty-two warships were sunk by the Wu army in one go, twelve were captured, and more than 2,000 Qing soldiers were killed and captured. Xu Zhidu led the defeated army to flee back to Yiling, and no longer dared to go out of the port to disturb, and the river near Jingzhou was finally completely controlled by the Wu army's naval division.

Finally avenged the blood feud of three battles and three defeats, and the Wu army and sailors unanimously asked for battle, asking to pursue the victory to Yiling City, break through the city, and destroy the dog Han Xu Zhidu's whole family with thousands of knives, and Ling Chi was executed. Fat Lu refused, "No, you have to leave a thought for Jingzhou Mangou and leave a way out, otherwise, Jingzhou Mangou will really not be able to fight to the death." Anyway, there is no way to threaten the safety of our troop transport fleet, so let them live for two more days, and it will not be too late to clean them up after Jingzhou is defeated. ”

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was not allowed to take the credit Lu Fat, of course the generals of the Wu army were not convinced, and several generals of the Wu army complained to Wu Lao Han Jian, but what disappointed them was that Wu Lao Han Jian not only did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Lu Fatman, but smiled and said: "I really can't see that this little fat man still has such a surname and such a long-term vision, yes, it seems that the old man should consider giving him more opportunities to be independent." ”

………………

The Wu army finally killed the entangled Han annihilation Xu Zhidu fleet like a leper dog, and the soldiers of the Wu army on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River were all smiling, but the Qing army in Jingzhou City was panicked, although the main force of the Wu army has not launched a siege so far, and the Songzi Wu army has just begun to cross the river on all fronts, but the Qing army in Jingzhou has already had a feeling that the end is approaching. The plan to abandon Jingzhou and retreat to Yiling was also put on the agenda of the decision-making level of the Qing army for a time -- as for the reason, of course, the Qing army was also very aware of the fateful 10,000 people in the west of Jingzhou City, and once it was excavated by the Wu army, none of the Qing generals and soldiers in Jingzhou City would want to escape.

Fortunately, there was also a very cool-headed Tuhai in the decision-making of the Qing army in Jingzhou, who stopped the stupid discussion of Rabu, Shangshan, Chani and Zhunda and others in time, and pointed out the reason: "Jingzhou City must not be given up, there are two reasons, one is that our army is not as good as Wu Gou in field warfare, and it is enough for Wu Gou to kill us all by land by abandoning Jingzhou and retreating to Yiling. The second is grain and grass, the grain and grass in Jingzhou City is enough for our 60,000 troops and the people of the city to support more than a year, but the grain and grass in Yiling City is not enough for us for a month, even if it is not counted by the people! Therefore, retreating to Yiling will only be a dead end. ”

"Then what if Wu Gou excavates ten thousand people?" Shang Shan asked worriedly.

"That's why I insisted on bringing all the people around me into the city." Tu Hai replied with a solemn face: "Because only by letting the barbarian people enter the city and leaving them with nowhere to escape, Wu Gou's side will throw a rat trap and dare not dig the embankment of 10,000 people casually, otherwise, I am afraid that Wu Gou will already start digging the embankment." ”

"Wu Dog will care about the lives and deaths of the people? For the sake of hundreds of thousands of barbarian people, they missed such a good opportunity? Rabu asked, incredulous.

"The old thief Wu Sangui has openly raised the banner of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, which proves that he has made up his mind to fight with our master for the world." Tu Hai patiently explained: "In this case, the old thief Wu Sangui will not ignore his reputation and popularity, the means of destroying the embankment and flooding the city are too bad, and the old thief Wu Sangui will never use it until the last moment for the sake of the people." In addition, I don't know if you have noticed, Wu Gou's camp is also stationed in the low-lying area backed by Taibai Lake, which is enough to prove that Wu Sangui's old thief has no intention of digging the embankment, otherwise, once the embankment is dug by 10,000 people, they will not be able to run away in the first place. ”

Listening to Tuhai's explanation, Labu, Shang Shan, Zhun Da and others remembered that the Wu army camp was indeed stationed in the low-lying area, and once the 10,000-person embankment was dug up, the first person who couldn't run away was Wu Jun himself, and they all relaxed their hearts. However, our Daqing Jian Prince Rabu was relieved, and suddenly had an idea, and said in a low voice: "Tuzhongtang, Shang Beile, Chabeile, Zhun Beizi, since Wu Goutun soldiers refuse to dig the embankment at a low place, how about we dig the embankment of 10,000 people ourselves?" We have the protection of the city, even if the flood is monstrous, we can resist it for a while, but the army of Wu dogs camped in the open air, don't even think about running away! ”

"Wonderful!" Shang Shanya slapped his thigh and said happily: "Desperately drown some barbarian people, as long as you can drown Wu Dog outside the city, it will be worth the sacrifice!" ”

"If we can drown Wu Sangui's old thief, then we will make a miracle!" Zhun Da was also so excited that his whole body trembled, and he clenched his fists and said: "Now that Wu Sangui's old thief has come to Jingzhou City, we will use the flood to destroy his army, even if we can't drown him immediately, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and there is great hope that he will be captured alive or beheaded in front of the battle!" If we succeed, we will be the number one contributor to the Qing Dynasty! ”

"So how do we dig it?" Tu Hai splashed out a scoop of cold water and sneered: "Our army dares to go out of the city to dig a 10,000-person embankment? Who is sure to hold out under the onslaught of Wu Gou until the friendly army digs up the embankment? ”

Rabu, Shang Shan, Chani and Zhun Da all stopped talking, and now the Qing army in Jingzhou City consisted of three parts, one part was the army brought by Tuhai and Chani from Luoshan, all of which were defeated troops who had been broken by the Wu army in the field battle; Part of it was the original Jingzhou garrison of Labu and Shangshan, and it was also the army that was driven out of Yucheng by the Wu army Wang Ping three years ago, and it was also a defeated army that was scared by the Wu army; In addition, there are 30,000 new troops brought by Zhun Da, so that these recruits who have basically never been on the battlefield go out of the city to fight the elite field of the Wu army like jackals and hungry tigers, isn't that what is it for them to die? It is no exaggeration to say that without the protection of the city wall, the Wu army only needs to send 3,000 soldiers, which is enough to send these 30,000 Qing army recruits back to their hometown!

"Huh?" After pouring cold water on his companions, Tu Hai suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "Wait, everyone, I don't know if I'm mistaken, it seems that the last time Xu Zhidu and his wife reported to us that they had mentioned such a thing, they seized a few Wu dog's suicide boats?" The new gunpowder of Wu Dog on the ship was also seized by their husband and wife? ”

"Tuzhongtang, you're not mistaken." Chani, who had not spoken, stood up, "I remember very well that Xu Zhidu and his wife seized the new gunpowder of Wu Dog of the Eight Ships, but I don't know if they use it now." ”

"Lord Jian, Xu Zhi is under your command, please send someone to contact him immediately!" Tu Hai immediately made a decision, and immediately got up and said: "Tell him, if the new gunpowder of the eight boats of Wu Dog has not been used, then don't use it indiscriminately!" Let him think of a way, no matter what means he uses, he will use these eight ships of new gunpowder to blow up the 10,000-person embankment for us! ”

"Tuzhongtang, is Xu Zhi sure of this?" Rab asked in surprise.

"If you don't succeed, you'll have to take a gamble." Tuhai gritted his teeth and said: "If my expectations are correct, after all the Wu dogs of Songzi cross the Yangtze River, the main force of Wu Dogs will launch a strong attack on our Jingzhou City, Wu Dogs like to fight at night, use the night to reduce the threat of our bows and arrows and muskets, we stick to the city to attract the attention of Wu Dogs, Xu Zhidu takes the opportunity to do it, and there should be a few percent of it!" ”

"Okay then." Rabu also stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, this king can't care so much, this king immediately sent cavalry out of the city, fought out of the siege to send a letter to Xu Zhidu, and asked him to blow up the 10,000-person embankment at all costs and flood the Wugou camp!" ”
