At this moment, the roar of Jiannu suddenly sounded on the shore.

Zheng Hongkui's low roar just now did not alarm the Jiannu on the shore, but when the sailor bird boat broke away from the shallows, the rattle sound from the hull of the ship alarmed the Jiannu on the shore to stay overnight.

"There is a bright dog, a bright dog sailor!"

"The Ariake Dog Sailor Battleship has come in!"

"Quickly notify the coastal batteries and fire artillery to block the attack!"

Immediately, the right bank of the Yellow River sounded the sound of drums and gongs.

Then there was a fire, but it was blocked by the fog, and only a small lake could be seen.

Before the sun comes out, it is impossible to dispel the fog with the light of the torches alone, and even the sunlight may not be able to disperse the fog quickly.

Naturally, the Jiannu on the shore could not see the warships of the Ming army's naval divisions.

But even so, a moment later, Jiannu's Hongyi cannons also began to shell one after another.

Regardless of whether he hit or not, Jiannu just relied on his feelings to fire at the center of the river.

Anyway, the Yellow River is wide enough, as long as the muzzle of the cannon is not adjusted too high, there is no need to worry about the shells falling on the other side of the river, so you will not accidentally injure your own people.

"Boom! Boom! ”

"Hugh! Hugh! ”

"Pass! All! ”

Accompanied by the roaring sound of artillery, from time to time there were shells grazing the warships of the Ming Army's naval division, and the piercing screaming sound could almost pierce the eardrums of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army's naval division.

Then came the sound of shells falling into the water.

"Leave them alone! Swing at full speed! Keep course! ”

Zheng Hongkui also had no scruples at this time, standing on the tent of his flagship and shouting at the top of his throat.

From time to time, there would be a sound of kacha in the fleet, and occasionally there would be screams of officers and men of the naval division, and you could guess that there must have been a warship with a cannon shot, and even the officers and men of the naval division were killed.

Even if Jiannu's cannons were just blindly beaten, casualties were inevitable.

But Zheng Hongkui was not only anxious about this, but secretly happy.

Because of the loud noise made when the Jiannu Hongyi cannon fired, it became the best beacon for the sailors!

By distinguishing the sound of the Hongyi cannon, we can basically judge the direction of the river, so as to avoid yaw or even grounding.

On a foggy day like this, the threat of stranding is actually far greater than the blind attack of the Jiannu Hongyi cannon, so the Jiannu artillery is helping them keep their course, good people.

……

In fact, there are people who understand on Jiannu's side.

Although Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were captured by the Dashun army, they were still there.

Shang Kexi is also a Phi Dao sailor, and knows that in foggy weather like today, the threat of running aground to the sailor is far higher than the blind attack of Hongyi's cannon.

But this matter is still gratifying, and I have to ask for instructions.

At the moment, Shang Kexi hurried to Dolgon's line.

When he found that Dolgon was not there, he ran to the Yellow River to find Dolgon.

Then at the gate of the town, Shang Kexi finally found Dolgon and his party.

"Master, the slave is looking for you." Shang Kexi gasped and said, "Quickly let the battery stop the shelling." ”

"Why?" Without waiting for Dorgon to speak, Dorgon glared and said, "Shang Kexi, you eat things inside and out, do you want to let the Ming army sailors over?" ”

"Ten kings, that's not the case."

Shang Kexi was so anxious that he shook his hands repeatedly: "At this time, the cannon is helping the Ming army." ”

When Dorgon was about to scold again, he was stopped by Dolgon's glare.

Dolgon asked Shang Kexi again: "King Zhishun, why is the cannon firing at this time to help the Ming army's sailors?" ”

Shang Kexi said: "Because with the help of the sound of artillery on both sides of the river, the Ming army's naval division can accurately judge the direction of the river, and can maintain an accurate course without running aground." ”

"Ahh Dolgon's point is clear.

At that moment Dorgon shouted: "Give the order to go down and stop shelling all the batteries!" ”

However, it was still a little late, and by the time Dolgon's order was conveyed and the Jiannu forts on both sides of the Yellow River stopped shelling one after another, more than half an hour had passed.

At this time, it was already mid-morning, and the sun had already risen.

Under the continuous rays of the sun, the thick fog that obscured the river finally lifted.

Visibility returned, and Dorgon and Dodor raised their binoculars at the same time.

With the help of the telescope, the two brothers happened to see that the last warship of the Ming army's naval division had turned across the river bay and entered the area of Baotai where the Ming army was stationed in Xuzhou.

"Thief!" Duoduo was so angry that he yelled.

"Master, it's all to blame on the minions." Hong Chengchou said with some self-reproach, "It's the slave's negligence." ”

"Hey, how can I blame you for this." Dolgon waved his hand and said generously, "Hengjiu, you are not Zhuge Liang after all, who would have thought of such a thing as a celestial phenomenon?" ”

After a pause, Dorgon added, "The top priority is to close this loophole as soon as possible. ”

"What the master said is very true." Fan Wencheng said, "If this loophole cannot be plugged, and the warships and boats of the Ming army can come and go freely, the blockade of Xuzhou will be meaningless." ”

Ning Wan said with a smile: "The master must have thought of it. ”

"Hey, how do you know?" Dorgon asked, somewhat surprised.

Ning Wan smiled slightly, patted his ass, and said: "Master, how smart you are, there is nothing in this world that can be difficult to hold you, and what is the point of blocking the river." ”

Duoduo also asked curiously, "Brother Fourteen, have you really thought of a way?" ”

"Well, it's not that hard." Dolgon nodded and said, "Because there is a ready-made method for the popular romance of the Three Kingdoms." ”

"Iron Cable Barrage?!" Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng's faces showed just the right amount of "surprise", and then said, "This method is indeed a good way to block the river. ”

Duoduo also reacted at this time: "Lu Kang's method used to resist the Jin Dynasty's sailors." ”

Shang Kexi was a little worried: "But the Yellow River is much wider than the Yangtze River, and it is not easy to let such a long and heavy iron cable cross the water surface and prevent it from sinking to the bottom of the river." ”

"It's not that hard." "You can use boats to provide support in the river." ”

Fan Wencheng then said: "You can also drive wooden stakes into the river, or you can directly use a pontoon bridge to cut off the surface of the Yellow River!" In this way, the warships and boats of the Ming army and sailors will have no chance to take advantage of them. ”

"That's it." Dolgon said, "Just pull three barrage cables in the lower reaches of Xuzhou, and then change the pontoon bridge that was originally planned to be built in the upper reaches of Xuzhou to the lower reaches of Xuzhou." ”

"Huh!" He Luo will agree with a bang.

……

Nearly at the right time, the fleet of the Ming Army's sailors passed through the Yunlong Canal and entered the Yunlong Lake Sailor Village.

Zheng Hongkui and Wang Chengen looked fixedly, and saw that Chongzhen had already taken the crown prince, King Ding, the general soldiers of the ten towns of Xuzhou and dozens of Qinwang scholars on the dock.

Seeing this battle, Zheng Hongkui was suddenly startled.

Because Chongzhen's courtesy is really a bit excessive, he is a chief officer of the water division, how can he be?

"Minister Zheng Hongkui, knock to see the saint." At that moment, Zheng Hongkui took Zheng Cai and a group of sailors and generals to get off the boat in a hurry, and came to Chongzhen at a trot, bowing his head.

Zheng Cai and other sailor generals also fell to the ground with him.

"Aiqing, please get up, all the generals please get up." Chongzhen personally helped Zheng Hongkui up, and raised his hands falsely to signal Zheng Cai and dozens of other sailor generals to get up as well.

"You Aiqing have worked hard all the way."

"Holy Lord, it's really a torture minister." Zheng Hongkui said.

Chongzhen smiled, turned to Zheng Sen and said, "Zheng Sen, I haven't seen your uncle yet." ”

Only then did Zheng Sen step forward and throw Zheng Hongkui to the ground, and said loudly: "Knock on the fourth uncle." ”

"Hurry up." Zheng Hongkui hurriedly helped Zheng Sen up, and said to Chongzhen, "Shengshang, Sen'er has been stubborn since he was a child, and he wants to cause trouble to the Shizi camp, right?" ”

"Fourth uncle, what are you talking about?" Zheng Sen was not happy.

"Holy Lord, look." Zheng Hongkui said helplessly, "This kid is still so reckless." ”

"Aiqing's words are wrong." Chongzhen smiled and said, "Zheng Sen is now the backbone of the Shizi Battalion, and he has unique opinions on many things, and all the Shizi are very convinced of him. ”

This is really not nonsense, Zheng Sen still has a lot of prestige among the more than 6,000 scholars in the Shizi Battalion.

Zheng Hongkui actually knew that he was both happy and frightened in his heart: "This all depends on the teachings of the saints. ”

"Zheng Qing, I'm already on the line, let's go." After Chongzhen finished speaking, he took Zheng Hongkui's hand and walked forward, and Zheng Cai and other sailor generals also hurriedly followed.

Seeing Chongzhen affectionately pulling Zheng Hongkui forward side by side, Jin Shenghuan and other border army generals were a little surprised, they were all general soldiers, why was the gap so big?

What is the basis of this surname Zheng?

Just with the more than 100 bird boats of the sailor?

In a word, these martial artists don't understand Chongzhen's intentions at all.

But like Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Zhang Huangyan and other diligent princes, most of them can guess Chongzhen's thoughts.

The reason why Chongzhen spent so much effort to entrap Zheng Hongkui was entirely because in the next confrontation, the role that the sailor could play would be far greater than that of the border army of the ten towns.

Because next, Jiannu probably won't launch a strong attack.

And if it is only a long-term siege, the biggest task of the Ming army is to counter the blockade.

It is wishful thinking to break the blockade of Jiannu by land, at least in recent years, it is impossible for the Ming army to have the ability to fight with Jiannu in the field and win the battle, so the transportation of materials can only be by water.

The rations of more than one million soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou had to go by water.

And the sailors led by Zheng Hongkui are the guarantee of the safety of the waterway.

Of course, if Huang Zongxi went to Luoyang to persuade Pseudo Shun to send troops, Jiannu would probably retreat.

If Jiannu was really forced to retreat, then the sailors would have to take on the heavy responsibility of dividing, delaying, or even harassing Jiannu, at least the Jiannu stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River could not let them return north easily.

Therefore, whether it is a final retreat from Jiannu or a long-term confrontation,

The sailors will play a decisive role, which is why the Holy One is so courteous.

The reason is such a truth, these officers and soldiers of the sailor division are not soldiers, and the battalion of sailors can fight for ideals, but these officers and soldiers of the sailor division have no ideals.

It is useless to talk to them about the common people of the temple society.

It's useless to tell them about their parents, wives and children, their parents, wives and children are in Fujian.

Therefore, it can only be the emperor himself who comes forward to win people's hearts and show his favor.
