The moonlight is bright, and the silky moonlight is scattered on the calm and waveless Taijiang Inland Sea, as if it is a picturesque scroll. biquge.infoSuddenly, there was a sound of splashing water on the sea, as if there was a terrible monster spitting something, what is this? In the bright daytime, every move on the sea would not escape the monitoring of the observation post, but now it is night when the view is poor. Therefore, although there was a lot of movement, and although the Qing army had sent outposts to land on the Luermen Peninsula, the Qing army's outposts, which focused their main attention on the connection between the peninsula and the mainland and the adjacent waters, did not notice the changes here, and no one even imagined that anyone would dare to dive across the sea more than ten miles wide and climb to Luermen from this position. After a while, a wet figure slowly sneaked onto the island, and on the strange rocky deer ear gate, this figure shuttled like a ghost, and soon disappeared, leaving only faint water marks to prove that it had been haunted
Gao Yi, who was born in the Boy Scout Ding Si period, quickly removed the shark skin water on his body, and quickly wiped his whole body with a dry cloth prepared in advance - although the sea water in August is not very cold, anyone who dives for more than ten miles in one breath will feel exhausted - this is not only a way to invigorate blood but also to drive away physical fatigue.
When his skin felt a little tingling, Gao Yi stopped, and then touched the mosquito repellent essential oil prepared by peppermint and whale oil, which was a lesson he and his comrades learned after many days of lurking, don't look at this is just a desert island, but the overwhelming mosquito swarm is not something that can be resisted by tightening the sleeves and trousers.
After applying the essential oil, Gao Yi put on his clothes again, and while sitting down to breathe, he reached out and touched the fire sickle and fire fold that had been hidden in advance, and after confirming the safety of the fire-igniters wrapped in these oilcloths, he buried them again with the shark water. Then he used the sugarcane wine mixed with water he brought with him to eat two bites of the dead dough cake, and when he had carefully cleaned up the food scraps, he got up again and crept around the island on tiptoe, with the purpose of checking whether the stored hay and dry wood had been discovered by the Qing army and whether they had been wet by the rain
Just after the ugly hour, Gao Yi was suddenly awakened by a huge sound of the tide, he rubbed his eyes, drilled out of the cave where he was hiding, climbed to a suitable angle, and saw the turbulent tide sweeping from the Fujian Sea, and the channel that was not easy to pass even the flat-bottomed small sand boats on weekdays slowly deepened and widened. Gao Yi, who could not allow his mouth to open wide, woke up from the shock, and saw a Qing army ship rushing in from the Fujian Sea, and after a burst of cheers, more Qing army warships sailed through this natural danger one by one.
Gao Yi pinched himself heavily, and then quickly ran back to the hiding place, turned out the fire sickle, fire fold, and then quickly carried all the hay and dry wood to one place, fortunately, at this time, the Qing army's mind has been attracted by the steady flow of warships, fortunately, this is the darkest hour before dawn, he was able to calmly complete this impossible task
"Father!" Shi Shixiang, the son of Shi Lang, who was standing on the handsome ship, saw the fire rising from the peninsula at a glance. "There are spies on the island." Shi Shixiang said with some anger. "The guys in the front camp are too tired, they didn't even know that they were touched on the island by Hai Rebellion, and now the movements of this army are all known to Zheng Rebellion, and this alone should be killed!"
"It's all over at this moment, Hai Reverse already knows that this army has entered Luermen, but it is precisely for them to know." Shi Lang, who was heavily armed, smiled faintly. "Otherwise, it's not enough to deter maritime rebellion." Speaking of this, Shi Lang patted his son on the shoulder. "Go down and prepare, and drive in after you for the Father"
The fire on the Luermen was detected almost by both sides at the same time, and the Zheng army was full of shock at Shi Lang's understatement, but when he woke up Zheng Kezang, who was lying peacefully, everything changed: "The order goes down, the Taijiang team and the Yuanhang battalion are ready to attack, and then notify Hong Gongzhu and let him return to the division with the main force, as for the towns of the land division of the army, I will arrange for a meal now, tell them, and only when they are full will they have the strength to capture Shi Lang alive."
Because it was still dark when sailing into the inner sea of the Taijiang River, the Qing army did not go any further, but only anchored near Luermen, but Rao was like this, nearly 550 large and small warships gathered together, still as daunting as prehistoric monsters.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and almost all the ships of the Qing army, including Shi Lang's ship, sailed into the inland sea, and the sky was already white at this time.
"Junmen," Wang Chaojun, a guerrilla from the Huyu Battalion, reported to Shi Lang. "According to the detection of the sentry ship, the estuaries of Dapai, Xigang, Yanshui Creek and Zeng Wenxi along the first line of Tianxing Prefecture are all over the banners of the Zheng army, among which the banners of the main force of the Zheng army, the right tiger guard and the right military guard, are there, and there are more than ten town flags such as Yongwei Army and Guoyi Zhongzhen."
"Military Gate," Pinghai battalion guerrilla Zheng Guiyun also reported. "On the way to Chengtianfu, there is a group of Zheng military ships blocking the way." Shi Lang and the generals were in good spirits, and they listened to Zheng Guiyun's report crying and laughing. "There are about 50 of them in total, but they don't look like warships, just civilian ships and merchant ships equipped with cannons."
The Qing generals were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Shi Lang looked even more happy, and he ordered after laughing: "The guerrilla of the front battalion He Yingyuan is the first formation, the guerrilla Wu Hui of the left battalion of Haitan Town is the second formation, the guerrilla Chen Yi of the Weitou battalion is the third formation, and the guerrilla Jiang Xin of the right battalion of Haitan Town is the fourth formation, and each formation leads seven bird boats; The general Xu Keji, Chen Yuanzhi, and the guerrilla Fang Feng were in the fifth formation, the deputy general Huang Chang, the capital secretary Huang Yong, and the left governor He Yi were in the sixth formation, and the general Xie Ying, the guerrilla Liao Cheng, the deputy general Tang Yigui, and the general Zheng Yun were in the seventh formation, and Jiang Maoxun, the deputy general of the Fujian Security Association, Ruan Qinwei, the guerrilla Ruan Qinwei of the right battalion of Tongshan Town, and Xu Yinglin, the guerrilla of the middle battalion of Kinmen Town, were the eighth formation, and each formation led seven bird boats; Zeng Chun, the guerrilla of the left battalion of Tongshan Town, Zhu Ming of the left battalion of Xiamen Town, and Dai Mingfang, the garrison of the middle army of the rear battalion, were the ninth formation, and Luo Shijiao, the general of the middle battalion, Cai Qifeng, the general of the Qianzong, and Li Tingbiao, who was garrisoned by the foreign commissar of the expedition, were the tenth formation. ”
Although he was disdainful of the strength of Zheng Jun in front of him, Shi Lang still decided to push it strongly, thus completely ending Zheng Kezang's last resistance force. However, although Shi Lang's response was decisive, because Shi Lang did not catch up with the Battle of Liuluowan in the Zheng Zhilong era, and defected to the Manchu side before Zhu Chenggong recovered Taiwan, he did not have a clear understanding of the status of gunboats in naval battles, and the gunboats of the Zheng army in Penghu were not good, so although Shi Lang sent a combat power far superior to the Zheng army's naval division in person, he habitually forgot about dozens of large and small gunboats in his hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last battle, and I hope that you will work tirelessly, bravely kill the enemy, and do your best."
Soon, about one-eighth of the Qing ships broke away from the group, and these ships rushed towards the Zheng convoy that was two rows in the wrong row, and about two miles behind it was the Qing army brigade that was slowly moving.
"Shisun! The Qing army divided its forces and attacked. "The guard who jumped down from a high platform hidden in the towering green oak forest by the sea quickly ran in front of Zheng Kezang." The minister could see clearly, about seventy ships. ”
"More than seventy?" Zheng Kezhang subconsciously repeated, he was slightly afraid, he was afraid that Shi Lang would send too many warships at one time, but as the so-called plan is not as good as change, he is not an all-powerful god who can penetrate a qiē, so now he can only hope for the table of the boy scouts. "Revisited"
"Zheng Jun is afraid that he is still fighting." Standing on the first team, He Yingyuan said to the soldiers around him, but when the two fleets gradually approached, he suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face, it turned out that Zheng Jun's formation was not the common bow to bow style at that time, but was arranged in two staggered rows, and the bow of the ship was facing the coastline on both sides of the inland sea, and the slender hull was aimed at the way the Qing army came. "God bless my emperor, the sea is declining before the battle, how can this formation fight, it is estimated that it should flee before the fight starts." He Yingyuan danced with his hands, and at this time he made an amazing discovery. "Zhu Qin'er didn't know how to fight, and for fear that his subordinates would escape, he also ordered him to drop his sails, isn't this asking for a quick death?" He Yingyuan, who felt that the victory was in hand and that the official was about to be promoted, agitated loudly. "Rush up and kill them all, the future of military exploits that fell from the sky."
He Yingyuan thought that pie fell from the sky, but other people's eyes were equally keen, and after the initial confusion, the overjoyed Qing army generals were gearing up one by one, and no one wanted to give the credit to others. As a result, the formation of the Qing army was suddenly chaotic, and the original three stacks of waves merged into a line, and the boats rushed to the Zheng army.
Looking at the Qing warships rushing to kill, Ma Ying, who commanded the battle, showed a sarcastic smile on his face, but when he saw those officers and soldiers of the original water division who looked frightened, he immediately ordered: "Raise the flag, anyone who dares to pull out the sail and jump into the sea without authorization will be killed!" ”
At this time, the figures on the Qing army's warships were already clearly visible, whether it was a bird boat or a big bird boat, they all fired guns, looking murderous, but in this regard, Ma Ying only gave a simple evaluation of two words: "Idiot!" ”
Speaking of which, in Ma Ying's eyes, the stupid behavior is actually the Qing army's showing off its might, but these bird boats, rushing boats, and double-sail ships do not have the red-coated cannons equipped with cannon ships, nor do they have large-caliber breech Franc cannons equipped with small gunboats, only some bird guns and tiger squat cannons and other firearms with limited range, and they start firing at a distance of more than a mile, which can only be heard by Ma Ying as noise.
Xu saw that Zheng Jun looked stunned, and the Qing army was not deliberately threatening, but the sound of guns and cannons stopped, but the killing machine was even stronger, and as the Qing ships got closer and closer, the heads and hands of the boy scouts who operated the guns on the ship were also drenched with sweat.
"Steady, steady." The stormtroopers, squad leaders, and team leaders subconsciously opened their mouths, and at this time another signal flag was raised. "Quick, quick," the squad leaders explained to the reserve gunners around them. "Prepare the brazier, prepare the blazing bomb."
One hundred and forty zhang, one hundred and thirty zhang, one hundred and twenty zhang, it is getting closer and closer
