Although Vice General Hu's words are a bit exaggerated, they are also based on reality. Due to the pre-war awards, the dozens of fire attack ships at the forefront all surrounded the two stranded Zheng Junhong single boats, which looked blazing, but most of them burned their own ships. In addition, the artillery fire of Zheng Jun in the distance continued to hit, so that the follow-up fire attack ships were also ignited by the flying sparks after hitting the burning and sinking friendly neighbors. The sailors who operated the ship even went into the water and fled, leaving only the flaming unmanned ship to go down the river from east to west, north and south.

"No, it can't be, we still have fifty boats." Sahacha roared wildly. "The sea reversal has been blocked."

"My lord, there were still 300 boats in the hands of the lower officials." As soon as Vice General Hu said a word, he saw Sahacha staring at him with blood-red eyes, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly changed his words. "My lord is right, the soldiers of our naval division battalion fought for two hours under the supervision of my lord, and sank five, no, ten, no, fifteen ships of the sea counter, and the sea rebel was defeated and fled, and our army was about to pursue, and when the sea rebel reinforcement arrived, the sails covered the sun, and the artillery arrows were like weaving, and our army could not support it, so we led the army to retreat."

Hearing Vice Admiral Hu's dreamy article, the red light in Sahacha's eyes slowly dissipated, but before he could speak, suddenly a shock wave accompanied by a crackling explosion sounded and Sahacha rolled down to the deck for a while. When Vice General Hu was anxious to help up this close minister of the Son of Heaven, the two of them looked around, and the stranded Zheng Junhong's single boat exploded one after another.

The shock wave of the explosion not only knocked down Sahacha in the distance, but also turned the long dragons, sampans, and other types of arsonist boats surrounding the red single boats into the sky. ♀ As for the farther afield, most of the fire attack ships that went down the river had already burned through the planks and bottom of the ship and sank to the bottom of the Han River before they could float in front of the Zheng army's brigade. Even if a few floated in front of the Zheng army's fleet, they were picked aside by the Zheng army's long bamboo pole because there was no one to preside over it.

"Lord Sa Man," Vice Admiral Hu pleaded with a crying voice to Sahacha, who had come back to his senses. "Take advantage of the fact that the ship of the sea rebellion is blocked by the sunken ship, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise, when the sea reversal brigade clears the river, we will not be able to stop the cannons of other people with these dozens of ships left, and we will not be able to withdraw if we want to."

Sahacha looked around, only to see that the Qing warships that were clustered on the side of the ship had invariably fallen more than half of the ship, and then looked at the frightened faces of the officers and soldiers of the naval division below Vice General Hu beside him, he finally understood that the general trend had gone, so after struggling in his heart for a long time, he suddenly ordered: "Then withdraw." ”

"Quick, turn around, and collect the brethren on the twin shores." Hearing Sahacha's relent, Vice General Hu immediately ordered in a row. "Let's withdraw, where to withdraw? Bastard, is it safe to withdraw to Zhongxiang? No, let's go back to Xiangyang."

Seeing the remnants of the Qing army in the distance hurriedly turning around, He Cai, who felt that he had suffered a big loss, suddenly became angry, but Zheng Jun and Qing Jun saw that there were still sunken ships and a sea of fire separated by fire, and they couldn't come forward to pursue at all, so he could only scold hatefully: "What a group of gutless rats, they can escape faster than rabbits." ”

Scolding and scolding, but things still have to be done, only to listen to He Cai continue to order: "Send a small boat to clean up the river immediately, rescue the surviving officers and soldiers of the two ships, and the other seven boats of the left team will return to report to the second team of cowards, and take over the cruise between Yuekou and Xiantao, and the rest of the teams will wait for the river to be cleared, and continue to move west with the officer." ”

After listening to He Cai's order, Qian Chi said with some hesitation: "Commander, after removing the left team and the [Yellow Sparrow] left in the morning, we only have twenty-one ships left, and it is a little thin to continue to advance westward with this strength." ”

"Thin, maybe, but think about it, how much strength the Qing Lu still has on the Han River." This is true, otherwise the Qing army would not have resorted to the routine of attacking ships with fire. "If you don't take advantage of the situation to drive them away, will you still leave them to harass our team day and night?" He Cai patted the board in front of him. "The Admiral has relayed the king's edict, in which in addition to cutting off the traffic on both sides of the Han River, there is also a threat to Xiangyang, if you don't go west to the north, how to threaten, and how to completely cut it off."

Although Zheng Kezhang asked the Yangtze River Fleet to cut off the Han River, in fact, the main force of the Zheng army did not advance westward along the Han River, and the reason for this situation was that there were many hills south of the Han River, as well as large and small lakes and water networks running through the period, which was really not conducive to the main army's advance. Therefore, the route chosen by Zheng Jun was to take a boat along the river first, enter the mouth of Zhuankou after crossing Baishazhou, and go west along the Zhuanshui, so that he could bypass the hilly terrain such as the Great and Small Army Mountains.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Zhuanshui River that ran through the Han River and the Yangtze River was a large river, and there were many water systems injected along the way, although the river surface was not wide, but the bottom of the river was quite deep, enough for the Zheng army's fleet of heavy artillery, horses, and heavy grain to sail in, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the Zheng army's logistics and transportation.

With convenient transportation conditions, Zheng Jun quickly captured the prefecture of Chuyang, which was guarded by only one Tongzhi and more than a dozen officials. Because of the repeated confrontations between the Qing Dynasty and Zheng and the ten rooms and nine empty cities of Chuyang Prefecture in the northwest are connected to Qianjiang and Jianli in the southwest, and there is a shield in the north, the location is quite important for Zheng Jun, so under the construction of Cui Ping's Privy Council Tongzhi and Zanhua, Zheng Kezhang set up a transfer station here and left half a division to garrison, and then Zheng Jun continued to advance west along the Chong River.

Chonghe River is also known as Xiang River, Dongjing River, Zhilu River, all the way from Qianjiang River through Jiangling, Jianli, and communicate Han Shui, Zhushui water, the water depth is also more than two zhang, enough for Zheng Jun to continue to use the water transport system to maintain the supply line, and the Qing army in front of the Qing army learned that the Zheng army was attacking and fled to Jingzhou, so in just ten days, Zheng Jun troops came to Chentuokou and broke into Jiangling.

Zheng Kezang's actions were very fast, and the pace of Zheng Jun on the southern front was not slow. After receiving Zheng Kezang's order, Zheng Junbing of Lizhou marched in two directions to Gong'an and Shi. Since Shana Hai only arranged a small number of monitoring troops in the south of the Yangtze River, when they saw that the Zheng army was killed, those who had the ability to find boats to cross the river, and those who did not have boats surrendered one after another, so the Zheng army on the southern front quickly controlled Huarong, Gong'an, and Shi, and even Songzi, Zhijiang, Yidu and other places where the Zheng army's troops had not yet arrived.

Now that the Zheng army's troops had advanced to the line of Jianli and Jiangling, the third team of the Zheng army's Yangtze River Fleet, which was originally responsible for covering Wuchang to Junshan, turned to support the Zheng army on the southern line to cross the river. On 17 May, after forcing back the Jingzhou Banner Camp Naval Division, the Second Division of the Zheng Army's Xuanwei Army crossed the river from Shi and cut off the connection between Jianli and Jiangling.

"Lord Cao, Lord Liu, now there are police on the west and north roads, and the Zheng army's warships are cruising on the river, and Jianli has become a lonely city." Although the Zheng army has not yet besieged the city, Cao Zhongying, the chief soldier of Yichang Town, Hubei Province, who was ordered to garrison Jianli City, has been restless, but what makes him even more restless is the abnormal movement around him. "With the two thousand green battalions and two thousand village warriors in the city now, how can they be the opponents of the Zheng army's elite soldiers in a hundred battles. The lower officials thought that for the sake of the lives of the people of the city and the athletes in the army, they also asked the two adults to take a charter. ”

"Shi Zhipeng, you are also a person who has received the emperor's grace in the world, how can you say such a rebellious thing to you." Liu Yongyan, who was born in Jianli Zhi County, was a person from Nankang, Jiangxi, and after the capture of Jiangxi, his family also had a letter calling him to return to his hometown, but he thought that Zheng Jun might not be able to stand on his feet for a long time and refused, and as a result, soon came the news that the fields in the clan were copied and the clansmen were exiled to foreign lands, so that he completely cut off the way for him to return south, so he regarded himself as a loyal minister, and swore to oppose Zheng, because of his resolute attitude and was appointed by the Qing court to be the prefect of Zhengwupin, but after half of the country fell, there was a lack of officials. The Qing court, which had no choice but to make him a prefect, was appointed as a district and county commander. "It's not that the sea rebellion hasn't been attacked yet, even if it is attacked, it's just a dead defense, and we still have the governor, the general and the army of the king of Pingjun behind us, once the four sides are surrounded, the clown who jumps off the beam is just around the corner."

"Mr. Rong, Lord Liu is nonsense." Vice General Shi didn't look at the thunderous Liu County Order, but just looked at Cao Zhongying. "My lord fought with Zheng Jun in Jiangnan, knowing the power of Zheng Jun's guns, and the walls of Jianli City are so thin, I really can't stop a few times, once the city is broken, it will be too late to turn around."

"Is it your mind alone, or is it someone else's mind?" Cao Zhongying looked at Shi Zhipeng and then looked at the campers of Yuan'an Battalion, Weichang Battalion, Yidu Battalion, and Jingzhou Embankment Battalion standing on the side, only to see that everywhere, everyone bowed their heads, Cao Zhongying suddenly understood that this was not a one-person forced palace. "No one wants to die, and the same is true for this official, but our dependents are all under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so you don't have to think about your family."

"My lord, didn't Zheng Jun go to Jingzhou, and the general was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of our dependents for a while."

Glancing at the Yidu camp garrison that replied, Cao Zhongying thought for a while and shook his head: "Although Hai Reverse looks like a strong army, if the army of the king of Pingjun in the east rushes back, it may not be a sure win, if I wait to vote for the Zheng army, and the Zheng army is defeated again, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

Cao Zhongying's question was very acute, but Shi Zhipeng had already calculated: "Zongzhen, even if the imperial army wins, the Yangtze River still can't pass, the left is just the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and once the main force of the Zheng army fails, don't you have to rely on me to wait." ”

Cao Zhongying still shook his head: "But the Zheng army is very ruthless with the new annex army under Yangzhou and Anqing City, and it is said that only one or two of the ten stops are survived in the end, aren't you afraid that you will be reduced to artillery fire after surrendering to Zheng?" ”

"General Rong, it was defeated and surrendered, we can raise the flag and join it, how can we mix it up." General Zhou of the Jingzhou embankment battalion said disapprovingly. "Isn't Wang Xinhua who fought with us the one who attached Zheng in Fujian at the beginning, and now he is already the earl of the general army, we can't be earlier than others from the dragon, but the earl doesn't expect anything, and the command always has a share."

Cao Zhongying raised his eyebrows: "You said it so neatly, but someone behind you is pointing out." ”

Shi Zhipeng smiled: "Your Excellency guessed right, there is an adult of Zheng Jun's Privy Council Department who is now in the city. ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Zhongying looked at the battalion officers of the town mark behind him. "Didn't you think about it too?"

Several battalion officers, you look at me, I look at you, and they bowed down one after another and said, "I'll wait for the adults and horses to look forward." ”

"I understand." Cao Zhongying nodded. "Then ask the master of the department to come over and talk about it, and if you want to sell it, you can sell it for a good price."

"Cao Zhongying, you are incorruptible and shameless, you betray the lord and betray the country"

"Shut his mouth." Cao Zhongying gave an order, and several wolf-like soldiers immediately tied up Liu Zhixian. "I'll give him to that Master Zheng Jun, this is the sincerity of our waiting." Seeing that the county order who was trying his best to resist was taken down, Cao Zhongying ordered. "All battalions control the warehouse, the township bravery, and restrain the military discipline, Zheng Jun will not want an empty city"
