readx; As the reinforcement fleet approached the north shore, everyone was headed by a two-hundred-gauge ship, two stories high on the side, and an old Franc cannon in the bow, which fired from time to time, probably from this cannon that everyone had heard before.

In addition to the cannon attacks, there were many archers standing on both sides of the ship, constantly firing their bows and arrows at the wooden rafts carrying the thieves. However, the archery skills of these people are really not flattering, and they can only shoot twenty or thirty paces away at most, and most of them have not yet shot on the wooden rafts, they have already fallen into the river, and even if they do, they are soft, and they have not caused much damage to the thieves.

And behind this vessel, there were more than a dozen warships of the Nanjing Navy, some of which were 100 ships, some of which were 50 ships, and some of which were smaller, not much bigger than ordinary fishing boats. The ships were supposed to line up, but perhaps because of timidity, perhaps because of too long of lack of training, some could barely keep up, while others fell far behind, and the formation was chaotic.

However, for the small wooden platoon of the rogue, such a warship can already be regarded as a behemoth. In particular, the two-hundred-material ship led by the two hundred materials drove fast to the agitated drums of war, and crashed straight into the densest place of the thieves' wooden platoon. The thieves were horrified, because there was only one result of colliding with such a large ship, and that was that the rafts immediately fell apart, so they took refuge and kept firing their bows and arrows at the big ship.

After another moment, the big ship had already rushed into the wooden rows of thieves, and there were wooden rows on all sides. Suddenly, the sound of war drums changed, and the sound of thudding was loud, and it turned out that there were many bird gunners on this ship, and they began to shoot with bird guns at this time. The reason why I didn't shoot just now was probably because the performance of the bird gun was too poor, and it couldn't even reach the range of the bow and arrow.

Sun Yuan's hatred of the ghost Sun Qiu is dominated by Yang Kemo

Under the fire of arrows, it really caused some casualties to the thieves. The thieves were also quite strong, and they probably knew that they would have to be cleaned up by the officers and cavalry when they retreated to the shore, and that it was better to fight to the death in the river, so they all gathered around and tried to climb onto the side of the big ship. But the ship's side was too high, and it kept moving forward, knocking over numerous wooden rafts along the way.

It's not far from the riverbank, and if you know the water, you can swim to the river even if you fall into the water. Unfortunately, most of these thieves are northerners, typical landlubbers, who can only flutter helplessly twice after falling into the water, and then are swept away by the turbulent river.

Seeing that the big ship was getting closer and closer to the north shore, suddenly the drumming stopped, and there was a commotion on the ship, and it stopped at once. The ship was clearly a command ship, and as soon as it stopped, the ships behind it were overwhelmed and refused to move forward. The thieves seized this opportunity and desperately leaned on the side of the ship, slashing with their swords, and even took a ladder to climb directly to the deck.

At this moment, the rumbling of war drums sounded again, and the great ship began to sail forward again. As soon as the boat moved, the thieves who took the ladder naturally couldn't stand on their feet, and fell into the river. The flotilla behind also followed one after another, and finally formed a ship formation dozens of zhang wide, knocking the thieves into crying father and mother. After a while, we finally arrived on the North Shore!

At this time, after a bloody battle, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already killed all the thieves on the shore. In the chaotic battle in the middle of the night, I don't know how many enemies were killed and wounded, but I also paid a heavy price of dozens of casualties, and nearly 20 people were killed in battle alone.

However, the rogue cavalry on both flanks began to reinforce the south of the city, and they must seize the time to receive reinforcements into the city. When Cao Wenzhao led the army to the shore, the reinforcements on the ship were also getting off the boat in a chaotic manner, and Cao Wenzhao hurriedly shouted: "Where is the main general of the reinforcements?" ”

"Here!"

A panicked voice rang out on the big ship. After a while, several people got off the boat with a stretcher, and one person in front hurriedly came to Cao Wenzhao's horse, and said with a crying voice: "General Cao, the last general Wu Qiang, is the commander of the Jinwu Left Guard of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army in Nanjing. It was Deng Shaoyu, the father-in-law of the last general, who led the troops to rescue Yangzhou, but just now the Hou Ye was wounded by an arrow, which... What a good thing that is..."

After forming a distant hatred for distant ghosts, the school has long hated Sun

Cao Wenzhao was taken aback, thinking that Dingyuan Hou was already in his seventies, how could Wang Zaijin send him to lead the army? He hurried forward to find an old man lying on a stretcher in armor, and the arrow that had hit him happened to hit his armpit, which was not protected by armor. Because of excessive bleeding, the old man's face was sallow, and he was already in a semi-comatose state.

"General Cao, your grandfather has been injured so badly, you still have to insist on getting off the ship..."Wu Qiang said anxiously, "According to the opinion of the last general, it is better to send Hou Ye back to Nanjing for treatment as soon as possible..."

"No!" The old man on the stretcher suddenly forced himself to sit up and said, "I must enter the city with reinforcements!" Wu Qiang, you obey orders! I order you to lead the fleet back to the south shore and bring reinforcements in batches, and not a single person will be left behind, otherwise you will be killed immediately!" General Cao, the enemy soldiers are coming over again, let's hurry into the city..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man fainted again. Cao Wenzhao was moved in his heart, and hurriedly commanded the Guanning Iron Cavalry to escort the reinforcements into the city. The reinforcements that crossed the river numbered about 1,000 men, all infantry, each carrying a large bag full of iron arrows that had just been prepared. As soon as they entered the city, the army of thieves outflanked them, and Wu Qiang also led the fleet out of the northern shore. If it's a little slower, the consequences are dire.

After the revenge of the far ghost, the ball by the yang enemy enemy

The arrival of reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the defenders of Yangzhou. Although the combat effectiveness of these guards is not strong, they are regular troops after all, and at least the strength of the defenders has been enhanced. Moreover, the large number of arrows brought in time supplemented the consumption of the continuous combat of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was really a relief in the snow.

And Shi Kefa and others hurriedly came to visit Deng Shaoyu's injuries, but at this time Deng Shaoyu was already unconscious, and his lieutenant officer introduced the previous situation in tears, and everyone was embarrassed when they heard it.

It turned out that there was no need for Shi Kefa to send an urgent letter, and the king of the Nanjing garrison had already wanted to send troops to reinforce Yangzhou. But he had to face an extremely difficult problem: no one wanted to go out of the city to fight!

The army of the other guards is known as 100,000, but these old soldiers have never fought in their lives, and they are used to being pampered, and it is okay to bluff the common people in peacetime, how dare they go to the battlefield with real swords and real guns? Previously, Wang Zaijin tried his best to speak, and finally asked each guard to send 5,000 people to Chuzhou, which is only separated by a river from Nanjing. These people are the lowest soldiers in the guard's army, and they all complain bitterly when they leave.

Sun Qiudi, Sun Cha, Moyang, and the ball are not moon

This time, Wang Zaijin wanted to send troops to reinforce Yangzhou, but the guards resolutely refused. Their reason is also very simple: the soldiers only want to defend Nanjing, not go out of the city! Wang Zaijin was also at a loss in the face of such a litter of bear soldiers and bear generals.

At this time, an urgent letter from Yangzhou came, and Wang Zaijin couldn't sit still, so he summoned the commanders of the guards and mobilized them to send troops. If no one is willing to send troops, Wang Zaijin will have no choice but to order generals. However, he also knew that even if these commanders did not dare to openly disobey orders, they could change their ways. If you don't send troops for a few days, or deliberately delay on the road, Yangzhou City may be breached, and you can't help but feel anxious.

However, at this juncture, suddenly the Chinese army came to report: "Dingyuan Marquis Deng Shaoyu asks to see!" ”
