Chapter 139: A Thousand Miles of Collapse

Zhou Xiuying just moved her buttocks and was about to move towards Hong Xuanjiao, but unexpectedly, her other arm was also grasped by a powerful hand!

"What do you do? Let it go! Zhou Xiuying immediately glared at Wang Feng angrily, her face was full of unhappiness, and there was a hint of helplessness.

Wang Feng pointed downward: "Sister Xuanjiao, big sister, the soldiers are fighting in the front, we can't be idle, it's better to work harder, go down and get some cannons and shells, and take them back to the blacksmith to see if they can be imitated." ”

The ferocious artillery fire on the Hermes, Hong Xuanjiao could dream of it, and immediately nodded: "Okay!" ”

Zhou Xiuying also slammed her arm and snorted coldly: "At the beginning, I said that I wanted to fish for the cannon and was ridiculed by someone, but in the end, don't you still have to fish?" ”

Wang Feng's faceless body pressed over, hugged Zhou Xiuying's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Big sister, you are right to criticize, I accept it all!" ”

Because he had just been in the water, Wang Feng had no clothes on his upper body, and Zhou Xiuying only wore a tight-fitting water back, which was as light as it was.

Zhou Xiuying is a female man, but she is also a woman, how can she have the experience of being so close to a man? In an instant, half of the body was crispy and soft, and the pretty face was red to the base of the neck!

Wang Feng put his face together, stared at Qing Qing with wide eyes, and said, "Big sister, what's wrong with your face?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"Fuck off!" Zhou Xiuying finally became angry, pushed Wang Feng away, picked up the axe and hacksaw, turned over and jumped into the water!

"You're going to pretend, go down quickly!" Hong Xuanjiao also glared at Wang Feng dissatisfied, stuffed the axe and saw, and jumped down with a pull!

Due to the smooth flow of the war, Wang Feng started to think about cannons and shells, but Huang Kaiguang couldn't hold on, and just exploded a big pickpocket boat, twenty boats came from Guangdong, and five were sunk in a blink of an eye, and hundreds of soldiers became water ghosts, in exchange for only sinking a small fishing boat that sent bandits.

What made him even more anxious was that the will of the court was to let him join Xiang Rong and cut off the traffic between the south and north of the river and even the grain route, the reason why Huang Kaiguang accepted the appointment was because he was sure that the water strength of the bandit was weak, and it was impossible to be the opponent of the red single boat, for him, this was a credit from the sky!

But who would have thought that it would be blocked at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the bandits kept releasing wooden boxes that would explode, and the ghost knows how many such wooden boxes there are? It's daytime, and you can still dodge, but if it gets dark and you can't see it, how can you dodge, it will definitely be the result of the annihilation of the whole army!

Huang Kaiguang's intention to retire was born, but as a newly appointed sailor battalion officer, he was defeated and fled by the bandits who were originally disdainful, not only could not get over his face, but also did not explain it, so he wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked around.

Chen Laosan also felt that this battle could not be fought, and said: "Lord Huang, the wooden box of the bandits is huge, and it goes down the river, and it cannot be prevented from winning, and if you want to break it, unless you seize the upstream, but from Shanghai to Jiangning, how to seize the hundreds of miles of river?" The only way to do this is to ask the court to issue an order, ordering Hunan and Hubei to build a water division, and go along the river to suppress bandits, and we attack from the downstream to the top, and we have suffered a big loss from the beginning, even if we can win, it must be a tragic victory, and it is even possible to die with the enemy, so I humbly ask the lord to order the retreat, and hesitate in a hurry! ”

These words won Huang Kaiguang's heart, and the surrounding soldiers had already lost the vigor and vigor they had when they first entered the estuary, and their faces were more or less panicked, and they obviously had no intention of fighting.

Huang Kaiguang immediately shouted: "Order, the whole army will return to Zhejiang, and wait for the military order of the governor and Lord Futai to arrive before making the next step!" ”

The flag-bearer waved the pennant impatiently, and the ships successively turned their rudders, trying to turn their bows.

"Damn, you want to run if you can't beat it?" Ding Daquan, who was a few hundred meters away, saw it clearly, turned his head and asked, "Chen Alin, do you want to chase it?" ”

"Of course you have to chase!" Chen Alin said without thinking: "The commander once confessed that if he couldn't catch Huang Kaiguang, he would be killed, how could he let him escape?" Let's concentrate our forces to specifically encircle and suppress Huang Kaiguang, other ships let him go, you quickly order, once he turns the bow of the boat, he can't catch up if he wants to! ”

Ding Daquan thought so, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, surround the Qing Demon Handsome Boat, don't get close to within a hundred zhang, don't care about the rest of the boat, don't forget to release mines if you have the opportunity!" ”

The flag bearer immediately raised the flag!

Such as the big pickpocket boat and other narrow boat type U-turn, one is to force the turn in the advance, that is, to risk playing drift, which requires the oarsman and the helmsman to cooperate closely, a little careless, the stirred up waves will overturn the boat on the spot, the other is to honestly slow down and turn, and the remaining fifteen red single boats invariably choose the latter safe method, the oarsman rows the big oars upside down, and the helmsman slowly turns the rudder.

The 49 small fishing boats of the Taiping Army scattered one after another to surround Huang Kaiguang's handsome boats while firing guns and exerting psychological deterrence, and intensified the use of mines.

"Boom! Bang! "With two loud bangs, a fast crab boat and a big pickpocket boat touched a mine one after another and were blown up and sunk to the bottom of the river!

This makes the crews of the ships no longer have the heart to shoot the guns, only to escape, you know, if the ship hits the cross, the mine floats, there is no way to dodge, at this moment, what mutual watch and the like are all left behind, just thinking that they should not be too unlucky, and leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

This is a defeat in a water war, but it is difficult to retreat, and there is no scene of a thousand miles of defeat in a land war.

"Lord Huang, we are surrounded, and bandits are coming at us!" The handsome boat was still making a slow U-turn in the middle of the river, and there were already nearly ten small fishing boats surrounding, several of which were turning backwards, and many more were joining in.

When Chen Laosan saw this situation, he immediately shouted anxiously!

Huang Kaiguang was also in a hurry, and said loudly: "Order, order, let the nearby ships come to respond quickly, and the gunners are ready to open fire!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao just pointed out that on the red single boat, the helmsman and the sailor are both father and son, and they move forward together when they encounter the enemy, and there is no risk of prevarication and collapse, but when the rout comes, this advantage immediately becomes a disadvantage, because the father and son are all gathered in one boat, and the other boats have no relatives of their own, which causes each boat to only care about its own escape, although the distress signal of the handsome ship keeps playing, but no boat rushes to meet Huang Kaiguang's handsome boat!

These people in Chen Village were hired by the Qing court and temporarily incorporated into the Guangzhou Naval Division, but they were actually mercenaries of the Qing court, who fought against the Taiping army for money, and under the danger of annihilation of the whole army, there was absolutely no reason to die for Huang Kaiguang!

"Damn it!" Huang Kaiguang witnessed this scene, and slammed the boat gang with hatred, and then grabbed Chen Laosan's collar, and roared loudly: "Chen Laosan, this is your man in Chen Village, it is a capital crime to abandon the master when the enemy abandons the master!" Did You Know? It's going to be cut down all over the house! ”
