After the bomb attack, the wall of the Jiangyin fortress was in a mess, the blue brigade Song flag was blown up, and the soldiers who did not die fled in a hurry, thinking that those huge guys in the sky were messengers sent by the gods, how could they have the courage to fight.

It was just a bomb attack, but it just so happened that the bomb also detonated the boiler of the steam repeater, and the boiler of high temperature and high pressure exploded, and the power was quite amazing, and the entire wall built along the mountain collapsed, half of the soldiers were crushed to death below, and the air wave of the explosion threw countless corpses and wall bricks into the air, and many airships were affected.

The bare and uncovered things on the walls of the fortress, the surviving soldiers fled to the city wall and ran down the mountain, only to be intercepted by the pneumatic machine guns on the airship, and the machine guns that fired the pointed lead shots were not very lethal, but the shooting was very high, and they still had a certain lethality against the native soldiers who were only wearing cork life jackets.

The machine gun devoured the life on the ground, Wen Jun had no choice but to retreat to the river under the escort of his subordinates, there was Zhao Jing's mixed river dragon submarine airship, no matter how powerful it was, it could not hurt the submarine underwater, the soldiers had gone out of control, and the remaining officers of the Youth Army Association gathered together to cover Wen Jun's evacuation with an iron shield, the volume of the submarine was small, and there were not so many people, they would brave the fire of the airship to rush out of the fortress and retreat from the 6th Road.

"You are the spark for the restoration of the Great Song Dynasty! We must find a way to survive, we will have a period later! Wen Jun hugged his fists at the young officers and walked away with tears in his eyes, descended to the surface through the rope, and the submarine was ready, and when Wen Jun and the two personal soldiers had entered the hatch, they urgently dived and disappeared into the vast river water.

Wen Jun fled, the others were miserable, for the blow from the air, they had no ability to resist at all, they could only be slaughtered, fortunately, the number of bombs carried by the airship was less than one round, they could only rely on pneumatic machine guns and small bombs to attack, the machine guns were too high to attack, and they could not last long, the small iron-hulled grenades were not lethal enough, those Song people fled into the mountains and forests, and they lost their effectiveness, the late autumn trees in the south of the Yangtze River were still green, and the Song people who were good at fighting from the forest left the corpses of a place, abandoned the Jiangyin fortress, fled into the mountains and forests, and fled a thousand, and the people were scattered and fled。

The soldiers on the airship slid down to the fortress city wall, re-erected the banner of the Ming Dynasty, sent soldiers to collect the scattered Ming soldiers, the defenders of the fortress, and the soldiers of the sailor division were gradually gathered over, and the fortress garrison Sun Ren had been cut off by the Song people, and the leader of the water division, Wen Getao, did not know where to go, Liu Ziguang had to temporarily appoint the people of the Red Shirt Regiment to be their officers, take out the swords, guns and weapons in the fortress warehouse, rearm these defeated soldiers, divide them into small units, and scatter them out to hunt down the Song people.

At this time, Jiangyin County sent a messenger to inquire about the news, Liu Ziguang revealed his identity, asked Jiangyin County to close the city gate, send personnel to assist the army in searching for the enemy, and sent people to notify the officers and soldiers of the nearby prefectures and counties to go out to search for the short, dark-skinned Nanyang.

There is still thick smoke billowing on the waterway of the Yangtze River, many ships have sunk to the bottom of the river, and many ships are carrying raging flames down the river, and the dead bodies on the river are one after another, so that the Yangtze River shipping will be stopped for at least three or five days, and the economic losses caused are incalculable.

The salvage of the wrecked ship and the corpse, as well as the rescue of the wounded soldiers, the repair of the fortress, the pursuit of the fleeing enemy, involving the Caoyun Yamen, the Yangtze River Sailor, Jiangyin County and other yamen, this place belongs to the territory of Wuxi Mansion, Wuxi Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Nanzhili, for a time there were thousands of things, Liu Ziguang did not have the spirit to coordinate these things, he only managed to pursue the remnants of the Song Dynasty.

The native people of Nanyang have a strong ability to survive in the wild, it is a deserted primeval jungle, they can live very nourishingly, not to mention the south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice, there are fish in the river, there are crops in the field, there are fruits in the garden, and there are chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs in the small village.

Even in the wilderness, there are many hares, voles, rats, snakes and other things that can satisfy their stomachs, so the native soldiers are not worried about food, they are afraid of the cold!

Although the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is gentle, it is not something that these natives who grow up in the tropics can bear, not to mention that they only have a pair of summer cloth singles on their bodies for the convenience of water warfare, and the upper body is covered with a cork life jacket that is not warm, and the feet are even more slippery, and the lips are purple one by one, and the upper and lower teeth are desperately pounding, and they can't speak.

After fleeing from the fortress, a group of soldiers came to a small village in panic, along the small river, the farmhouses were lined up with uneven roof tiles, rice piles and melon sheds, and the group of soldiers went straight into the village with knives, killing and looting a lot of clothes and food, and when the pursuing troops of the Red Shirt Regiment arrived, they saw only corpses all over the ground and a few houses and barns that had been set on fire.

The remaining people of the village volunteered to bring out the hounds to help the army hunt down the robbers and sound gongs everywhere to warn them.

The densely populated villages in the south of the Yangtze River are not far away, and the common people of other Zhuangzi soon heard the news of the robbers, they closed their doors one after another, organized young and strong laborers, and took farm tools, firewood knives and other things to be on guard.

In addition, with airships monitoring and directing officers and soldiers from nearby prefectures and counties, the encirclement and suppression work became easier, and a group of hungry and cold soldiers fell into the net, and they were captured.

On the contrary, the officers of the Youth Army Association fled safely, because they themselves are Han people, except for the slightly darker complexion, there is not much difference in height and body posture from the Jiangnan people, as long as they take off their armor and throw their weapons, and pretend to be local people, ordinary people can't distinguish them, plus the search officers and soldiers only pay attention to the obvious characteristics of the natives, so they naturally ignore them.

This was a disastrous victory, in order to annihilate the 3,000 brigades, the Song army lost countless ships, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, dozens of civilians, and also bombed the Jiangyin fortress beyond recognition, and the Yangtze River waterway was seriously blocked.

This battle lasted for two days and two nights, from the start of Wen Getao's sailors to the capture of the last soldier, and the nearby officers and soldiers sailed over, and the warships of the sailors also gathered on the Jiangyin River, and the will of the imperial court also came, and did not reprimand anyone, but comforted everyone with good words, and added a temporary authority to Liu Ziguang's Qincha function to temporarily promote Jiangnan soldiers and horses.

In this way, whether it is the soldiers of the guard or the warship of the sailors, they will be sent by Liu Ziguang, but Liu Ziguang is not very happy, because the information of the South Factory came with the Holy Decree: This time there was such a big mess, the court was very angry, many bigwigs put this responsibility on Liu Ziguang's head, saying that everything was calm before he went to Jiangnan, and after he went, there was a miasma, and the good Shanghai Dao officialdom was able to collectively rebel, and the Song Dynasty, which had always been friendly with each other, was able to meet each other in arms, which led to the fire of war in Jiangnan, all of which was provoked by Liu Ziguang, for which he should be punished accordingly, the imperial historians generously stated, and the ministers spoke badly, if it were not for the little emperor to support him, plus the household department on behalf of Rishengchang, Liu Ziguang said a lot of good things on this issue, although it has caused chaos in Jiangnan now, but within three months, the economic benefits brought by the rectification of Jiangnan officialdom can be revealedWhen the time comes, the merits will not be argued.

There must be someone in the officialdom, Liu Ziguang is glad that he formed an alliance with Hu Yimin at the beginning, but in addition to Rishengchang, he also needs more officialdom to help Daming officialdom, this pool of water is too deep, he is a tyrant, it is difficult to find a powerful civil official as an alliance, at present, Jiangnan Weaving and Shanghai Dao are under his control, there is no suitable person to stuff it, this feeling of holding a huge amount of money and having no place to spend it is really unpleasant.

must cultivate their own civilian power, Liu Ziguang once again made up his mind. The task of salvaging the sunken ship and the dead body and dredging the waterway was handed over to the Caoyun Yamen, the task of pacifying the boatmen along the river, searching for the fleeing enemy of the Song Dynasty, and the task of continuing to search for the remnants of the enemy, pacifying the people, and rebuilding the Jiangyin fortress was handed over to the local government and county yamen, and Liu Ziguang sat in charge of the Jiangyin fortress and took charge of the overall situation.

In this battle, all the brigade Song Fan army 3,000 people, except for the six or seven hundred people killed on the water, most of them were killed in the fortress, only more than 300 people were captured, these prisoners were chained and shackled and sent to the capital to show their military exploits, Liu Ziguang was about to return to Shanghai by mountain airship after handling military affairs, and suddenly someone came to report to the water division Baihu Wen Getao asked to see.

Wen Getao, that hundred-hundred-family who can talk very loudly, isn't he missing, why did he come back? Liu Ziguang rushed him in, only to see him walking up to the city covered with wounds, and he was defeated: "Wen Getao, the general of the defeated army, visited the governor." ”

"You defeated this official, don't blame you, a thousand against three thousand, there is no chance of winning. But it's not like you to run away from the battle, leaving so many brothers to run for your own life, and now that the overall situation has been decided, what is going on? Liu Ziguang said with a calm face.

"In this battle, the brothers died a lot, and I didn't die just to get some money for them, come back, sir, you see what it is." Wen Getao's face was calm, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the river.

The submarine Mixed River Dragon is surfacing with a white flag planted on the command tower.
