Chapter 368: Bai Tengjiang Six

The person who rushed to the front was Xu Dong's love general. Wang Laosan.

Wang Laosan was born as a fisherman in Zhejiang, followed Xu Dong to the sea, and later followed Xu Dong to Zhu Houhuang. He is also very arrogant. But his skills are first-class, and he is even more brave in fighting at sea.

At this moment, he relied on a few large ships that had not been stranded, and the warships like mountains pushed by, coupled with the sharp artillery, the artillery fire was endless.

Wang Laosan's originally panicked expression calmed down a little bit, and when he saw everything in front of him, he was overjoyed and said, "God taught me to make this great achievement." ”

Wang Laosan, who had already set such a trap, was quite good. But he didn't want the Annan Inland River Division to compare the firepower with the Yongguo fleet, and he was not an opponent at all, even if he paralyzed most of the ships of the Yongwang Naval Division, he still couldn't win the opponent.

Just when Wang Laosan was fighting hard. All eyes were on the stones by the river. Look at the lowered water mark a little bit. Listen to the occasional cracking of wood at the bottom of the ship.

The boats were tied underneath, and Zhu Houhuang could change ships at any time.

More than a dozen sailors, repeatedly diving in the river. Each of them carried a short knife in his hand, and it was for the purpose of going down and cutting the stakes below. Free the ship.

It's not easy to cut off a stake with just a short knife underwater. But that's all I can do now.

Not all the ships in the Yongguo army have been recruited, although Zhu Houhuang can be changed to a safe ship, but Zhu Houhuang is never willing to forgive himself so easily.

Zhu Houhuang walked around, suddenly stopped, folded his hands and said secretly in his heart: "Mazu Niangniang, Xinnan asks Mazu Niangniang for blessing, from now on, every time Xinnan opens up a territory, he will build a Mazu Temple." I only ask Mazu Niangniang to bless the believer to pass this hurdle safely. ”

Zhu Houhuang prayed repeatedly in his heart.

In fact, he also knew that in such a time of crisis, what was the use of asking God and worshipping Buddha again, but at this time, he couldn't do anything. Even if it's useless, you have to give it a try, at least to give yourself some psychological comfort.

For a long time, Zhu Houhuang didn't hear the sound of wooden planks cracking below.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Xu Dong said with surprise: "The water level has stopped, the water level has stopped." ”

Zhu Houhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately looked at a big stone by the river, and sure enough, as Xu Dong said, the water level on the big stone was still above its original position, and it did not move at all.

Zhu Houhuang was speechless for a while. I don't know if it's really Mazu's blessing.

"Mazu bless." A sailor beside Zhu Houhuang fell to his knees on the ground and prayed sincerely.

The sailor's actions caused a chain reaction, and countless people fell to their knees on the deck.

In fact, the pressure on these ordinary sailors is much heavier than that of Zhu Houhuang.

For Zhu Houhuang, even if all the people present died, he was the one who died later, but for these sailors, once they abandoned the ship, they must be the ones who were abandoned.

Because there is not enough space to take all the people away for a while, such as sacrifices, the dignitaries and nobles naturally can't sacrifice, so they can only sacrifice these nobodies.

Zhu Houhuang laughed and said, "Let's see what the hell is going on?" ”

Xu Dong said: "Your Highness, it should be that the tide is out, and we just need to wait for the tide to rise now." After the high tide, we are free. ”

Only then did Zhu Houhuang notice the battlefield in front of him, his ears were full of the sound of roaring artillery, and sometimes Zhu Houhuang could distinguish the sound of artillery firing scattered bullets and the sound of solid bullets.

Hearing such a voice, Zhu Houhuang also knew that the battle in front had not yet reached the point when he could not continue.

It's not just when you can't fight, but when Wang Lao Liu is like a rainbow. As it was getting late. The use of flag language was gradually restricted, so he sent someone directly to report. When Zhu Houhuang heard that the Annan Navy Master was about to be destroyed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart.

Zhu Houhuang didn't expect that this matter would be turned around so easily.

However, Zhu Houhuang is also self-aware, if it weren't for Zhu Houhuang's coming too quickly, almost a sneak attack, and the coastal defense also fell too quickly, so that the Annan side did not have time at all and was prepared, there would have been such a situation.

"Your Highness, the Francophile has sent someone for help." The people below came up and said.

Only then did Zhu Houhuang turn his head to see what the situation was behind.

As a result, the situation behind is very bad,

It seems that the closer to the mouth of the sea, the greater the influence of the dark tide, the greater the influence of the dark tide, the greater the drop in the water level, Zhu Houhuang left behind a few ships, all sunk, just these ships, Zhu Houhuang will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is not counting the sailor's pension.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these sailors are sea veterans. Some did not pass through the sampan and moved to the shore, and some swam directly to the shore. The Franco-man was more unlucky than the Yongguo fleet.

Although the hulls of Western ships are stronger than those of the East, they do not have such a thing as watertight cabins at this time. Therefore, the ships of Yongguo encountered problems, and there was still a buffer space, and the Franc machine ships did not even have a buffer space, so they began to sink slowly.

Zhu Houhuang smiled slightly and sent some small sampans to the rescue, although it was a little unkind, but the Franc opportunity was difficult, which was good news for Zhu Houhuang.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery in front of us stopped.

Before Zhu Houhuang could ask what was wrong, someone reported back: "The enemy army has been defeated." ”

Xu Dong immediately ordered: "Don't pursue, protect the upstream." Not a single enemy ship can be allowed to go down the river. ”

Xu Dong explained to Zhu Houhuang: "Your Highness, our current situation is very dangerous. Stuck on the river and unable to move. Therefore, if the enemy sets fire to the ship, we will not be able to avoid it. ”

Zhu Houhuang immediately knew that it was the most dangerous night, and after the high tide tomorrow, most of the ships would be able to get out of trouble. When the fleet is out of trouble, the Baiteng River natural danger will no longer work. The end of Annan's sailors was already doomed.

So, night this night. It's their last chance.

As Xu Dong said, throughout the night, there was no stopping, large and small fireboats, from the top and down, and even the Annan Navy Division sent dead soldiers, they set up boats, relying on the boats of King Yong's army, before lighting the fire.

Wang Laosan was caught off guard and was set on fire by several warships. But fortunately, Wang Laosan didn't close his eyes all night, so he survived.

When it was dawn on the second day, Zhu Houhuang was still asleep, and someone on the boat shouted: "The tide is rising." ”

"It's high tide." First one person shouted, and then many people shouted together, as if it was a slogan for pulling fiber.

Zhu Houhuang hurriedly went out, and his first action was to take out the clairvoyant mirror in his arms, and after pulling it open, he looked at the big stone by the river, and found that the water line began to spread upward.

Zhu Houhuang's expression suddenly relaxed, and said: "The tide is good, the tide is good." ”

Zhu Houhuang's heart that had been hanging was put down.

The tide rose little by little, and the dark tide rose little by little. But for the high tide, it is not just a good problem. Many boats were already hit by wooden stakes and some problems were caused by the impact of rising tides, and some of the bottom of the boats had problems. Some of the boats came out, and these boats held out all night on the river, but at the last moment they could not hold on.

Zhu Houhuang said: "These are a few. ”

Xu Dong said: "This is the fifth ship. ”

The corners of Zhu Houhuang's eyes twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth in his heart and said secretly: "I must take the pen from Shenglong." ”

The water level slowly rose back, allowing Zhu Houhuang's boat to move freely again. However, all the ships have more or less problems at the bottom. Must be overhauled once. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold on much.

Moreover, this section of the Baiteng River, Zhu Houhuang didn't want to experience it again for a long time, so the Yongwang fleet could only advance and not retreat.

The Yongwang fleet went upriver and broke away from the waters of the Baiteng River.

Even the fleet of King Yong was damaged and its speed was limited, but the momentum of the mountain still made the Annan Navy dare not slack off.
