Zheng Jinhong can be said to be desperate.

The marching speed of the artillery battalion cannot be very fast, although it is said that the artillery battalion has the most war horses, each Hongyi cannon is equipped with eight war horses, which are transported in turn, and each Furlong machine is also equipped with four war horses, the purpose of such equipment is to ensure that the artillery battalion can march at the fastest speed.

Not to mention the 30 Hongyi cannons and 100 Furlong machines, the huge amount of ammunition transportation also requires a large number of war horses, many soldiers of the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion, in order to march faster, when encountering rugged and difficult mountain roads, dismount and push the carriage hard, so that the marching team will not be congested.

Zheng Jinhong knew very well that the artillery battalion would play a decisive role in the entire battle, and the longer the delay, the more likely it would be that there would be an accident in the battle, so he, the chief soldier of the Zheng family's army, also personally dismounted and pushed the carriage, the purpose was to make the march as fast as possible.

No one complained, and everyone was silent, except for the shouts that were being made as the carriage was pushed hard.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the position of the attack, Zheng Jinhong kept asking Su Manzi and the others around him, he needed to know the exact time.

The artillery battalion entered the position, and Zheng Jinhong asked for the exact time, which was still two quarters of an hour away from noon.

According to Zheng Xunrui's prediction, the time when the artillery battalion led by Zheng Jinhong arrived at the position was also at noon at the earliest, counting the time for a series of artillery deployments, and the time for the real attack was at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zheng Jinhong did not have time to rejoice, he immediately gave an order that the artillery battalion must attack at noon, which means that the time to deploy the artillery was only two quarters of an hour.

The many soldiers who were tired did not have any complaints, they were under the leadership of Su Manzi and others. The artillery began to be deployed rapidly, including the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who also helped to unload the artillery and place it in a position that had been determined a long time ago.

Zheng Jinhong, who was holding a monocular, silently looked at the rogues on the other side of the Yangtze River.

The snow had stopped, and everything was white all around. But the rogues on the opposite side can still see it clearly, and the warships in the Yangtze River are neatly placed along the river, which is particularly eye-catching.

The Liukou did not move much, which made Zheng Jinhong feel strange, according to the calculation of the battle process, the 20,000 soldiers led by Zheng Xunrui should have surrounded the Kuizhou capital city, why did the Liukou stationed at the dock not go to reinforce it.

At this moment, I can't think of so much, what Zheng Jinhong needs to do next. It is to blow up most of the warships that sink the rogue and kill as many rogue as possible.

Zheng Jinhong did not know what kind of shocking situation would be caused by the roar of thirty Hongyi cannons and one hundred furlong machines at the same time, but he believed that the rogues on the other side would definitely suffer a devastating blow.

On the ninth day of November in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, at noon.

Dazzling sparks erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and the surrounding white reflected the fiery red sparks. This scene makes people feel trance.

The rumbling of cannon fire came and went, and the earth began to tremble. The snow on the branches of the trees and even on the slopes of the mountains was shaken down, and some of them drifted away with the majesty of the wind, and if a literati saw this strange scene, as long as his ears were not deaf, he would surely exclaim that this was a beautiful scenery intertwined with blood and fire.

Zheng Jinhong remained motionless, holding a monocular. Look at the scenes on the other side.

The first round of artillery fire was aimed at all the rogues on the opposite bank, and the artillery battalion, which focused on killing the living forces of the rogues, would not fire at the warship for the time being, but if a rogue escaped to the warship and tried to drive the warship away. Then rounds of artillery fire will be directed at the warship.

The other side of the river instantly became a hell on earth.

The snow was blown into the air, mixed with blood and severed arms and limbs, and the soldiers of the Zheng Family's Army Shenji Battalion could even see very clearly with the naked eye, and more of them were bombed into the air with dark mud blocks.

One after another, the shells fell to the ground, and their density reached the strength of one shell per square meter, and under such fierce artillery fire, human life appeared too fragile and could be swallowed up by artillery fire at any time.

The terrain of the wharf is quite special, there is almost no place to hide, and the wharf of Pingchuan is also easy to transport, to say that it is difficult to find such a flat place around the capital city of Kuizhou.

More stones were blown into the air, Zheng Jinhong clearly saw that countless rogues had not yet been able to leave the barracks, and with the death of the entire bombed barracks, more rogues were scurrying around like headless flies, some fled towards the warship, and some fled desperately in the direction of Kuizhou Fucheng, but unfortunately, those who fled were unable to be faster than the exploding bombs.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have searched more than ten wooden boats, these wooden boats are too small compared to the warships on the other side, but relying on these wooden boats, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are enough to reach the other side, as for the warships docked at the dock, there is no chance to start.

Five Hongyi cannons were already aimed at the warship that was starting to move.

The cannonballs that roared out accurately hit the rowing warship, and when the cannonball exploded, countless sawdust flew into the air, and some warships instantly began to catch fire.

Some of the rogues who were swept away by the air wave were motionless at that time, and many more were lifted above the river by the shock wave.

In such a cold climate, it is impossible to persist in the rogues who fall into the water, and those who are barely struggling, but after a dozen breaths of struggle, they fall into the water, and they can no longer see a shadow.

Under the intense artillery fire, more rogues fled in the direction of the capital city of Kuizhou.

Half an hour later, Zheng Jinhong gave an order, and the soldiers of the 6,000 Shenji Battalion quickly took ships to attack the dock.

In fact, at this time, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion should not be attacking, they are going to occupy the dock.

Cheng Jinhong was the second group to arrive at the pier by boat.

Many warships on the river are still intact, but there is not a single rogue, just when a few warships were blown up and sunk, all the rogues abandoned the warships and fled to the dock, desperately fleeing in the direction of Kuizhou Fucheng.

As soon as he ascended the steps of the stone staircase, Zheng Jinhong smelled a strong smell of blood.

There were mutilated corpses everywhere, and there were almost no living people in sight, and the more you walked up the stone stairs, the more corpses you saw, some on top of each other, and some of them still maintained a posture of escape.

When he arrived at the dock, the bloody scene was unbearable for Zheng Jinhong.

On the huge wharf, there are no living people in sight, all the corpses are all horizontal and vertical, and there are also low faint ** voices, the white has disappeared, the snow on the wharf has long been blown away by artillery fire without a trace, there are dense corpses everywhere, there is a thick layer of blood on the ground, and the blood is left in the river along the stone ladder of the wharf.

Zheng Jinhong's serious face finally showed a smile.

Under the command of Su Manzi, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion began to clean up the docks, they mainly saw if there were any evasive rogues, and some of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion controlled the warships to sail to the opposite side, these warships had to drag all the Hongyi cannons and Fran planes over, and the artillery battalion did not have much time to rest, and they were about to participate in the battle of attacking the capital city of Kuizhou.

The reason why Zheng Jinhong smiled was because he knew very well that although most of the rogues stationed at the dock had fled to the direction of Kuizhou Fucheng, these rogues had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the power of the artillery had taken away the souls of these rogues, and the rogues who fled to the direction of Kuizhou Fucheng, no matter how many people there were, had become walking dead, and they would not pose much threat to the Zheng family soldiers who attacked Kuizhou Fucheng.

Zheng Jinhong will not waste time, he issued an order again, within an hour, all the artillery battalions must cross the river, as for the warships on the dock, don't worry about it for the time being, anyway, these warships themselves can't float away, and the artillery battalion needs to participate in the battle of attacking the capital city of Kuizhou in the shortest possible time.

Some of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion began to clean up the battlefield, and they mainly cleaned up a reason, so that the artillery could reach the dock smoothly, and in the process, they also needed to clean up the corpses that occupied the road.

The wharf is fifteen miles away from the capital city of Kuizhou, according to the speed of the artillery battalion, it will take at least an hour or so, after all, the transportation of artillery takes time, and the artillery has to be transferred to the ship, and it needs to be unloaded.

Zheng Jinhong was a little anxious, he hoped that the speed of the artillery battalion could be faster, after all, Zheng Xunrui formulated a blitzkrieg attack, that is to say, the battle to take the dock and the capital city of Kuizhou needs to be ended in the shortest possible time, and the battle to attack the dock only lasted for half an hour, which made Zheng Jinhong sigh that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion did not need to do anything at all, and easily occupied the dock.

An hour and a half later, the artillery battalion finally delivered all the guns to the docks.

Looking at the many soldiers with red faces, Zheng Jinhong couldn't bear to blame, he hadn't estimated one thing before, that is, the stone stairs on the dock, these stone stairs caused great trouble to transport artillery, if it weren't for the wooden planks on the destroyed warship on these stone stairs, the artillery really couldn't be transported.

This also delays time.

Zheng Jinhong, who had looked at the map many times, spoke.

"Brothers, we have no time to rest, we are about to rush to Kuizhou Mansion to participate in the battle, the Liukou who fled from the dock has gone in the direction of Kuizhou Prefecture, the marshal led other brothers, is besieging Kuizhou Prefecture, Zheng Jiajun wants to quickly capture Kuizhou Prefecture, to completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates, the role of the artillery battalion is crucial, just when the artillery was transported, we have already made mistakes, I did not think of the stone ladder on the pier, and then we can not make any mistakes, The wharf left the soldiers of the 500 Shenji Battalion to garrison, and the rest set off immediately.
