Whirring, the explosive bag that rose into the air, with a light attitude, a subtle angle, and a beautiful trajectory, smashed into the battleships of the Qing army, those two more than 500 tonnage, on the head of the guy who was definitely the giant of the Yangtze River Navy Division at that time,

The first battleship, with a bang, hit the first explosive pack, fell in the middle of the ship, and as a result, the flying shrapnel shot fluffily in all directions, it was countless pieces of iron sand and porcelain, sharp new porcelain fragments, with a knife-like edge, at extreme speed, shot into all living beings within a radius of seven or eight meters around,

Despite the cold weather, despite the thick clothes, in an instant, the cotton clothes of many Qing soldiers were still full of flaws, especially the exposed parts, faces, necks, and hands, which became the hardest hit areas, and the faces of many soldiers were already blurred and disfigured at the same time as the explosion.

There were also many officers and soldiers who were blown up and thrown high before they smashed into the river.

On the surface of the river, countless blood flowers were suddenly impregnated,

The violent air wave blew up almost all the Qing officers and soldiers on the deck of the first battleship.

These anchored warships didn't expect a battle, but when they saw the Huai army flag flying on the other party's ships, they already understood it.

For many days, there has been no boat swimming down the river in Taiping Tian**,

Huai Army's fleet, feel how many things these guys have robbed, what are they robbing?

It was purely fun, looking for trouble, and I didn't think of fighting at all, because, the two warships imported from the West were second to none at that time in China.

At that time, there were no three major naval fleets, the so-called Beiyang Fleet, the Fujian Navy, and the Nanyang Fleet, all of which were not planned.

The battleship that has been installed with iron ribs is almost the earliest ironclad ship in China, and ordinary small cannons, you can't blast anything,

"Ahhh

"Ahh

Angry, shocked, passively gulping tea in the river, all over the place, the Qing officers and soldiers were full of ugliness,

The enemy of the second battleship, the situation was better, a large number of officers and men, who were still on board, were stunned for a few seconds, and immediately ran forward to operate the cannons,

There were also some officers and soldiers who immediately shot with foreign guns.

Where is their chance, on the three large wooden ships, with the firing of artillery as an order, countless foreign guns immediately emerged, shooting at the bow of the Qing army,

The bullets knocked all the remnants of the enemy to the ground at once, and many died at that time, and many suffered greatly, and fell to the ground wounded, turning over in pain.

The officers and men on more than a dozen Qing army fast ships also reacted, and immediately raised their guns and fired at the three large ships.

Because of the close proximity of the position, most of the officers and men of the Huaxia Army did not reload after firing a round of foreign guns, but lit the grenade they had prepared, lit the fire rope, and threw it at the enemy below.

The clippers of the Qing army, small, pointed, and light, however, were in a very low position, which gave the Chinese officers and soldiers the opportunity to strike condescendingly,

What's more, several Chinese officers and soldiers are still carrying watermelon-style bombs.

It is a canned explosives package, a container made of porcelain filled with explosives, and then stirred some iron sand and other things, ambushed the line of fire, and bombarded after ignition, this kind of thing is much larger than a grenade.

Fourteen clippers, five of which were blown up at once,

As soon as the clipper capsized, all the Qing troops above naturally fell into the water.

Because of the thick clothes and soaked in water, the Qing officers and soldiers sank quickly, and several guys sank down to feed the fish without any reaction.

The rest of the Qing army saw it and panicked, this kind of fighting has never been done before, besides, the two big warships have suffered, so they immediately shouted, hurriedly rowed the clipper, and fled frantically,

Where can you run away?

The Luoyang army did not give the enemy a chance to escape, and demanded that the enemy surrender, otherwise it would be sunk,

"Sink your mother's eggs." Annoyed and angry, the Qing army sailors, sneering, while speeding up the paddling,

How fast can you flee against the river, the new thunder cannon loaded with explosives and immediately bombarded, as a result, the enemy's clippers were sunk one after another,

Those who were still shouting fell into the river one after another, or were directly torn apart by shrapnel,

The battle of crossing the river did not end, from the three large wooden boats, the Chinese officers and soldiers set out, occupied two enemy steam warships, Luo Yang entered, pounded the ancient for a while, and captured a few scarred Qing soldiers for questioning, and was able to drive immediately,

did not sail, but anchored in the river, waiting for a new enemy,

On the boat, it is still the flag of the Qing army's sailors, and on the three large wooden boats, it is the flag of the Huai army.

Only the floating corpses or wounded soldiers were quickly scooped up and covered with traces.

The boats that crossed the river, after passing quickly, unloaded the soldiers, and the paddlers quickly turned the boats back, and then loaded more troops.

In order to speed up, Luo Yang ordered a lot of flying thunder cannons to be moved to the two warships, so that the three large wooden ships also joined the transportation volume.

There were also a few clippers, which were used to cross the river, and the speed of crossing the river was considered by Luo Yang to be one of the keys to victory, because, in order to achieve the maximum results, it was necessary to sneak attack and not make the enemy in Shanghai defenseless.

Two warships, lonely anchored in the river, swaying with the rush on the river, such a big ship, but so helpless in the river, perhaps, only a giant ship of 10,000 tons, can be more stable,

I didn't feel emotional, because many officers and soldiers of Huaxia Tian** stayed on the river for a long time, couldn't adapt to it, and barely endured it at first, and at this time, they all vomited.

Luo Yang's reaction was also very violent, almost unsteady on his feet, top-heavy,

However, the arduous task of crossing the river made everyone stabilize their emotions and grit their teeth and persist.

Very good, someone finally came, it was the Qing army sailor upstream, and there were two warships, as well as several wooden boats, with a lot of Qing officers and soldiers,

The Qing fleet swaggered over, without any suspicion, but when it came to it, it greeted: "Hey, what are you doing here, why don't you leave." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"You are, no, who are you, I know all the people on the ship, why don't I know you." The mutual familiarity on the Qing warships is still quite good,

The Qing army found out,

Well, this discovery, naturally, to be panicked,

Basically, it was an attack, and all the artillery, whether it was a foreign cannon in the stern or a secretly hidden flying thunder cannon, was bombarding it diligently, and as a result, the Qing army was bombarded to the ground.

The fierce artillery fire almost wiped out the Qing army, and this kind of flowering foreign artillery shells did not have a strong breaking power, mainly anti-personnel personnel,

Two Qing warships were paralyzed again and became prisoners of the Huaxia army.

At this point, the large-scale fleet of the Qing army was no longer seen, and the small boats that followed were also blown up, and those who could run ran away, and those who could not run were only captured.

Winning two battles in a row, basically eliminating the water threat of the Qing army, Huaxia Tian** quickly crossed the river, and within five hours, he crossed a division,

Luo Yang immediately handed over all the ships to the troops on the river bank and ordered them to turn in the direction of Nanjing, while he himself led the troops and set off for Shanghai.

Because of the difficulty of crossing the river, the vast majority of people's war horses stayed on the north bank of the river, basically, a division in Luoyang is regarded as infantry, plus an artillery regiment,
