Ten ships full of sails, in the case of unfavorable wind direction, and then walk in the Yangtze River, and sail laboriously in the direction of Nanjing.

It's Jiang Fan's sea boat!

Yang Chao had a trace of expectation in his heart, but looking at the fewer and fewer warships on the river, he had some suspicions that it was too late.

At this time, the dhows under Zhang Dawei were almost completely wiped out, and the brigs were still maneuvering with the advantage of large ships, but there were only 70 left, and 30 of them had been captured or burned and sunk by the Qing army!

And Jiang Fan's fleet is still ten miles away, and Jiang Feng is not good for him, even if he can arrive, I am afraid that Yang Chao's fleet will be over.

At this time, Azig of the Qing army was also watching the battle on a ship.

His warship is quite large, and the troops said that it was Li Zicheng's ship, but it was just as big as the Ming army's brig.

However, this big ship did not participate in the battle, but carried many Eight Banner generals to watch the battle.

But many people were so breathless that they didn't have the heart to watch the battle at all, and Azig was just barely holding on.

Azig also saw the Ming warships ten miles away, but he didn't care about it at first, but was more interested in watching his fleet strangle the Ming warships.

The number of Ming warships was reduced to fifty, and soon forty remained.

But at this time, Azig suddenly realized that the ten warships were approaching, and he was immediately shocked.

"How is this ship so big?"

Azig couldn't help but be frightened, he grew up in the bitter cold mountains and forests of eastern Liaodong, he had never seen a sea ship as big as a house in his life, and he never even believed that a ship could be built so big, nor did he understand how such a big ship could float on the water and not sink.

"Lord Wang, this is the sea ship of the Ming army, which is useful in the sea, but it can't be used in the river. The last general saw that the Ming army was exhausted. ”

Wang Tizhong praised at the right time, his subordinates finally fought well, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and he didn't look at the Ming army at all.

Azig did not understand warships. Therefore, he nodded and chose to believe what Wang Tizhong said, if the sea ship was useful, why didn't the Ming army transfer the sea ship back early.

"The Ming army had less than thirty warships. The last general, congratulate the prince, destroy the Ming warships, our army can go ashore in Nanjing, and the Ming army is bound to surrender without a fight! ”

Wang Tizhong sincerely hoped that the Ming army would surrender after seeing the results of the water battle, so that he would make an immortal achievement. It is equivalent to his royal body capturing the capital of the Ming Kingdom.

Azig nodded, but he really didn't think that the Ming army would surrender, he chose to fight this water battle, just to give the Ming army a little color, to hit the morale of the Ming army, and even used these troops to delay the Ming army at the beginning, so that the Ming army's sailors could not stop their Eight Banners from crossing the river.

Unexpectedly, the result of the water battle was so optimistic, so that Azig couldn't help but wonder if he had to encourage the Eight Banners to land in Nanjing, maybe as soon as the Eight Banners Army appeared under the city of Nanjing. Nanjing surrendered.

This situation is too much, along the way, Jingxiang four prefectures Wuchang Jiujiang, that city is not looking at the wind and falling, Nanjing does not fall may be a big victory in the landing, the water has a water division, breaking the Ming army water division, is not equivalent to defeating the confidence of the Ming army.

The distractions in his heart were chaotic, and it was not until the Ming army's sea ship finally arrived that Azig retracted his mind.

At this time, there were still twenty Ming warships. With the addition of the ten large seagoing ships, there are only thirty.

Twenty warships were surrounded by Xinjiangkou, and another naval warship had already met the sea ships.

But at this time, Azig saw that the sea ship did not open fire. He did not try to meet the friendly forces at the mouth of the new river, but rushed straight towards the Qing army.

Azig couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there were no cannons on this big ship?

When he looked closely, he really didn't see a single cannon.

Could it be that this sea ship will only collide, or plan to engage in a broadside battle, although the other side is a large ship. However, if you have many ships, if you engage in a broadside battle, many ants will bite and kill elephants, and you will fight one with hundreds of ships, and it is impossible not to win.

Thinking of this, Azig was completely relieved, and watched his naval army fight with great anticipation, and didn't even want the group of sailors under Wang Tizhong to sink these ten big ships, and they could take them back to Beijing as a gift to Dolgon, and it would be good to put them in the Houhai Garden.

"Huh? What a bump! ”

Azig found that he had guessed correctly, and the ten big ships crashed into it, as if he didn't even look at the river boat in front of him, like a proud peacock who wouldn't even look at the little hen.

However, ten large ships were driving against the wind, and the speed of the ships was not fast, and it was as if they were leaning on the small boats, as if they were squeezing up.

But more than ten times or even dozens of times the volume, it still made the sticker boats swing away without exception.

During this period, the Qing army tried to jump into the gang, but the boat was too high-profile to go up, and tried to set fire, but their small boat could not be attached, and the big boat shook away.

The reason why they were able to set fire to so many big-masted river boats was because after more than a dozen of them were crowded together, the river boats couldn't get rid of these small boats at all, and they could only watch the boats catch fire with themselves.

But these big ships are not, they keep moving forward, they can't stop it at all, no matter how many small boats are in front of them, they will be brutally squeezed away.

In this way, ten ships squeezed through the Qing army sailors, and wore a pair from the Qing army's sailors, drawing ten very clear waterways on the river surface, and the Qing army warships on both sides of the waterway were densely packed together, but only the river flowed artesian in the waterway.

Azig couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the big sea ships rushing past the sailor's fleet, thinking that the other party usually came at him.

When they were about to give the order for Wang Tizhong to retreat immediately, the ten large sea ships were a hundred kilometers away from their warship, as if they had not seen their lone ship at all, and turned around very comfortably.

After turning around, the ship is now downwind!

Suddenly the sails were full, the sea ship was forced, and the speed slowly increased, and after a hundred battles, it was already like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, and rushed into the fleet of the Qing army.

At this time, Azig suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, and frowned slightly as he watched the big ships plunge into his fleet, sinking dozens of warships in an instant, and rushing to the center of the battleships.

At this time, ten large sea ships actually stopped, and they stopped in the center of the Qing fleet.

Azig was a little confused.

Yang Chao, who was watching the battle on the city wall, was also a little confused.

I don't know what Jiang Fan is planning to do.

Of course, Jiang Fan himself was not confused, and soon on his flagship, there were sailors waving yellow and red flags.

"What are they talking about?"

Yang Chao couldn't help but ask a pro-soldier next to him, this pro-soldier knew the flag language. They are all taught by Jin Yong, who was born in the Qi family.

"Uncle, Jiang Fan said that Uncle Qing watched a fireworks!"

Yang Chao suddenly realized that Jiang Fan wanted to use a cannon.

"Brothers, open the cannon door!"

"Brothers. Launch the cannon! ”

"Brothers, light the rope!"

"Brothers, it's fired!"

No one heard the ships sounding their own horns at this time.

I saw that the two sides of the originally smooth and round ship suddenly opened small windows, and dense and neat spaces suddenly appeared on the huge warship. It's like a big mouth that selects people and eats them.

Then I saw a door, and a black pipe was sticking out.

At this time, the small boats of the Qing army who did not know the situation surrounded them again, and they saw these big guys who were rampant, and they stopped in the middle of them stupidly, if this big guy rushed up, they really couldn't stop it, but now that he stopped himself, then don't blame them.

So one after another Qing warships surrounded them, and dozens of small boats gathered outside each big ship, all thinking of sticking to the big ships, whether it was arson. Whether it is boarding a ship, they need to be close, as long as they are surrounded on all sides, with their experience, this sea ship will not be able to run.

But as they drew closer and closer to the ship, especially when the first boat was less than a foot away, they suddenly saw a black cannon facing them spit out a long one, and the whole ship was instantly covered with a dragon, and there was no shout, no wail. Because in an instant, the boat turned into sawdust flying all over the sky, completely disintegrated, and was bombarded into slag by 10,000 catties of red-clothed cannons!

Dozens of cannons on ships of the sea, divided into three decks. And the lowest deck cannon is the largest, all of them are tens of thousands of catties of guys, these guys' shells weigh dozens of catties, one shot, not to mention the small fishing boat built by Li Zicheng is not very good, even a serious Western sea ship can not withstand a distance of a burst of fire.

After that shell shattered the first ship. Far from releasing the energy, he roared and smashed towards the second ship, shattering the three boats with a mixed face, before falling into the water, stirring up a high wave.

After a round of shelling, there were suddenly a lot of wood chips on the river, Qing troops falling into the water, severed arms and limbs, and blood.

Azig was completely in no mood to watch the battle, the big sea ships attacked those small boats at close range, and suddenly the smoke and sawdust flew up together with the human stumps, and at the same time, the impact of the short-term explosion of hundreds of red-coated cannons made him feel as if he had been hit in the chest by a stuffy stick, he was out of breath, he felt a wave of fear coming, this unknown thing, made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Azig suddenly desperately urged the king to leave here, and here, they did not have a trace of security.

"Good job, brothers!"

"Brothers, it!"

"Brothers, brush the barrel!"

"Brothers, fill gunpowder!"

The ship sounded a cheerful horn, in fact, they sailors, usually rarely use the lowest cannon, because it is too bumpy in the sea, the hull of the ship trembles slightly, the lowest deck cannon loses its firing range, forced firing can only hit the sea, and under normal circumstances, the gun door of the lowest deck is rarely opened, and you also need to worry about the big waves pouring into it from here.

After the first round of shelling, there were no Qing boats surrounding it, and it was not until the second round of shelling that some people reacted and tried to continue the attack, but after this round of shelling, all of them dispelled this idea.

Standing in the river, like a floating battery, the calm river water allows the sailors to be comfortable, shooting cannons as they like.

And every round of shelling can sink dozens or hundreds of small boats, and no matter how many warships the Qing army has, they can't catch up with them tossing like this.

After destroying thousands of warships, and seeing the commander's ship fleeing, the Qing army's sailors finally collapsed!

"Give Zhang Dawei an order, catch up, not a single ship can let the Qing army run away. Let the Qing army surrender and surrender to avoid death! ”

When Yang Chao saw this situation, where was he willing to let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately asked people to give an order to Zhang Dawei in Xinjiangkou. To be continued
