No one can describe the terrible situation on the river, the overly dense ships have almost no mobility under the confines of the rushing river, and they have become live targets that will not move. The reef formed by the shipwreck belt is like an invisible wall on the water, holding the warships trying to rush downstream on the water, forcing them to be baptized by cannonballs falling from the sky.

Although the life span of the Zhankou General Cannon is limited, its power cannot be underestimated in the time it can fire dozens of shells, and what is even more terrifying is the eighty rocket artillery, and the arsenal is frantically working overtime to produce this big killing weapon, although Song Nan is in debt, but at this moment, their appearance makes Song Nan finally feel that the effort is worth it.

A large amount of smoke burst out from the muzzles of the guns gushing from the tongues of fire, enveloping the entire Meizizhou sky in a dark blackness, like the magic of a monster hidden in the dark clouds, pulling hundreds of boats on the river into the abyss of death.

In just a moment or so of incense, nearly 200 warships were hit by bullets and caught fire, dozens of boats began to burn and sink, the fiery red river was full of floating debris and the heads of rebel soldiers exposed to the water, and the cold and turbulent river water ruthlessly washed them downstream, drowning in the rolling river together with all kinds of floating things.

Zhu Chenhao looked at this qiē dumbfounded, his flagship was on the water behind him, fortunately escaped this baptism of death, but the tragic situation in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes. What about the said good estuary blockage? What about the unimpeded approach? How did it become the current situation?

"Liu Yangzheng, Liu Yangzheng!" Zhu Chenhao yelled.

Liu Yang's face was pale and he knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister is here, the minister is here." ”

"What's going on? What's going on? Can anyone give me an explanation? ”

"Emperor Qi...... Song Nan is treacherous and cunning, it seems that he took advantage of the false news in my city, they set up an ambush on Meizizhou, and there must be artificial reefs under the water to block the passage of ships. ”

"What did you do earlier? Why can't you think of this? What do you want? Zhu Chenhao roared with red eyes, and his face was sad and murderous.

Liu Yangzheng hurriedly shouted: "The emperor is angry, Rong Chen thinks of a way, Rong Chen thinks of a way." ”

"Come up with a solution, or I'll be all done." Zhu Chenhao stomped his feet and wailed.

Liu Yangzheng's eyes were rolling around, the sweat on his face was rolling down, and he muttered to himself, Zhu Chenhao roared again: "Can you come up with it?" Do we have to wait for all the warships to be sunk? Idiot. ”

Liu Yangzheng was excited, and suddenly shouted: "Please the emperor immediately order all the warships to attack Jiangxinzhou, Song Nan ambushed here, and all the firearms were gathered here, and his main force must also be on Jiangxin Island; If we want to take Nanjing, we will annihilate Song Nan's soldiers and horses, but we will only move the battle in Nanjing to this island. As long as the island is taken and the officers and soldiers on the island are annihilated, even if Song Nan is not on the island, Nanjing City will be in the bag. ”

"Yes, yes, it's like pushing pai gow, we lost a little first, but the last Zhuang Emperor grabbed the Supreme Treasure in his hand, and he will still win it back." Wang Lun echoed.

"Push your mother's pai gow, don't learn something that doesn't have skills." Zhu Chenhao, who has always prided himself on being noble and elegant, raised his foot and kicked Wang Lun's cheek, and scolded angrily: "If you don't give the order to attack Jiang Xinzhou, you can't take Jiang Xinzhou, I will throw all of you into the river." ”

The initial panic and panic caused the rebels to be a little confused, and after paying the price of nearly 100 ships and 10,000 soldiers, they finally received orders from the flagship. They were anxious to get rid of the situation of being passively beaten on the river, and after receiving the order to attack Meizizhou, they soon began to organize in an orderly manner.

Zhu Chenhao has worked hard for several years, and the results of secret training of water warfare soldiers and horses have also been reflected. Hundreds of ships armed with Franc cannons broke away from the panic and aimed their guns at the island, and the guns began to spew flames and began to bombard Jiangxin Island.

A round of hundreds of shells blasted a wave of mud on Meizizhou, and cracked stones flew down in the air like a meteor shower, although the soldiers and horses on the island were all cowered under the rocks and fortifications, but only one round of shelling killed and wounded hundreds of people, the power can be seen.

Moreover, the Franc machine alphabet cannon was extremely fast, and the general cannon of Zhankou was much inferior to it, and if it were not for the fact that he could not aim accurately in the rapids, the position of the battery on the side of the island that exposed the target would probably immediately become scorched earth.

"The first attack is the intensive bombardment of warships equipped with artillery, rocket artillery, and general artillery at the mouth of the mouth." Song Nan shook off the dirt that fell on his shoulders and ordered, and there was a dark lump on his forehead, which was the mark left by the fist-sized stone that had just fallen on his forehead.

Zhang Ning ordered in a hoarse voice, and the rocket gunners turned their guns to stare at the river, which ship spewed fire, and immediately dozens of shells came in, hitting the warship with thousands of holes. But the other side obviously didn't care, they couldn't move anyway, and they only tried their best to hit the island before they were sunk, and they couldn't take care of the rest.

At the moment when the two sides were bombarding, Song Nan found something unusual, hundreds of warships in the rear were slowly turning their bows, approaching the island diagonally with the help of the river, Song Nan understood their intentions after a little thought, not only secretly praised the rebels for their quick response; In this case, attacking Meizizhou is the best policy, and if it is himself, he will also give this order as soon as possible.

Song Nan naturally knew that this moment could not be avoided, and he always had to fight with flesh and blood to decide the battle situation most accurately, but before that, Song Nan had to do his best to eliminate a part of the rebels and keep the number of soldiers and horses on both sides balanced, otherwise it would be difficult to win.

At present, the rebels still have at least more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses on their own island, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses are on downstream warships, which is the last defense system to prevent the failure of artificial reefs; If 70,000 or 80,000 people had been brought to the island unscathed, it would have been difficult to say who would have won and who would have lost in the war.

"Archers prepare, musketeers prepare, meet the enemy who has landed on the island." Song Nan quietly ordered.

Ma Ming, the commander of the Shenshu battalion, Peng Yang, the commander of the Second Foreign Army, Jiao Zhengtai, the commander of the Zhenwei battalion, and other generals all understood that the final decisive battle was coming, and they were both looking forward to it and nervous.

Countless archers bent their bows and arrows behind the fortifications, and the arrows dipped in fire oil burned brightly, the smell of fire oil choked people's noses, and the burning of the flames stinged their faces, but the soldiers ignored it, staring at the enemy ships slowly approaching on the river.

A hundred steps away on the river is already a shoal, the speed of the warships is getting slower and slower, the artillery fire on both sides is still roaring, but it is no longer the protagonist of the battlefield, when the rebel soldiers launched a landing charge, the dozens of warships equipped with artillery remaining on the river also automatically stopped bombarding, they did not want to accidentally injure their soldiers and horses.

The battlefield suddenly became quiet, and the roar of Jiang Tao was once again in my ears, and the turbid river water whipped against the stone walls and sand on the edge of the island, making a strange sound. At the beginning of a hundred steps on the shore, the enemy ships had slowly stopped, and small boats fell into the river with a bang from the warships, and the rebel soldiers climbed down densely on the rope ladder, climbed into the small boats and rowed hard to the edge of Meizizhou.

"Bang." A red firework bomb rose into the night sky, bursting into countless small and brilliant flames in the air, soldiers on both sides looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, in the moment when the fireworks disappeared without a trace, the sound of the sound of breaking the sky, the sound of buzzing bowstring vibration became the main theme, countless arrows with fire light were like a rare meteor shower in the sky, and like a bridge made of flames, connecting between the island and the ship.

Tens of thousands of rockets fell densely on the surface of the river, like countless stinging wild bees, piercing their spikes into the flesh and blood, and the small boats and big boats were suddenly ablaze, and I don't know how many people died in this round of arrow rain; The rebel soldiers had blank expressions, their heads shrunk and rowing desperately, and people in front of and behind them kept falling into the water, but these could not touch their nerves in the slightest. Their minds have been indifferent to life and death, and their only thought is to hurry to the island and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, although that may not have a chance to live, but that is the only chance.

Thousands of small boats rushed towards the island in a gesture of defiance of death, many of which had become ghost boats with no one alive halfway through, and many of the lucky ones escaped the rain of arrows, but when they entered the river beach within thirty paces, they were greeted by the roar of firearms.

Countless rebel soldiers fell into the icy water, the water on the left side of the river beach was calm, and the surging waves of blood slowly lifted their stiff corpses, gently rippling.

The living may be lucky, but who can say that these dead are unfortunate, because they have finally gotten rid of this cruel world, finally got rid of the fear of death, and the desire for life.

People who lose a qiē are the most miserable, but in fact, they are also the happiest, because they have nothing to lose, and losing everything also means that they get everything they want.
