When the soldiers of the new annexed army of the brigade, driven by the Mongols, stepped on the mud and approached the dock, Huang Dagen also led people to arrive.

He personally went ashore with four hundred soldiers, three hundred of whom carried supplies and one hundred set up defensive formations.

This was not enough to deal with the attacking new annexes and Mongol cavalry, but let's not forget that the ships behind them had enough artillery to equip twenty companies.

Under the bombardment of these artillery, the soldiers of the new annex army who attacked on foot could pour blood mold. The forward attack was ruthlessly harvested by artillery fire, and occasionally the luck burst to rush to the front of the Thunderbolt army, and was blown up by a grenade and stabbed by a spear; Backwards, the swords and axes of the Mongol Warlords were waiting for them.

Although there were many people and great strength, it still took nearly an hour for the 400 people led by Huang Dagen to move all the materials in the warehouse to the ship.

They even moved the horses that were killed by the Mongol army to the ship. These dead horses are precious meat and should not be wasted.

Huang Dagen calmly retreated with the fleet, and the Mongol cavalry caught the river

"Farewell". this

"Farewell" warmly brought fire - the Mongols fired rockets. Although the Jin River is not as wide as the Min River, most sections of the river are also a stone's throw away, and bows and arrows could not be shot at ships.

However, under the attack of the Mongols on both sides of the river, the Thunderbolt warships could only move in the middle, and the distance between the two sides was shortened by half.

In this way, the Mongol cavalry was able to attack the Thunderbolt ships with rockets. The important parts of the Thunderbolt warship are covered by thick wooden planks, and the core parts such as the helmsman and gun emplacements are covered with iron sheets, and they are not afraid of bows and arrows at all, and the rockets nailed to the hull do not cause much damage, only a few sails were fired by the rockets and burned quickly, almost causing a fire, but fortunately they were quickly doused with water, but because they were going downstream, a few sails were missing and did not slow down the fleet.

The Thunderbolt artillery here is not vegetarian either, although it is not easy to hit a moving Mongol cavalry on a moving warship, but once hit by a shotgun, it is a large area.

Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry was embarrassed under artillery fire, there were brave soldiers on the boat who scooped up the river water to wash the horse meat, which made the Mongolian cavalry pursuing on the shore angry and screamed.

However, after following the attack for a long time, the Mongol cavalry did not sink a single warship, but lost dozens of people, so they had to ride their horses and go downstream.

When the fleet reached Pengshan City, the Mongol navy did not come out to stop it. It's not that they don't want to come out and don't dare to come out, but the Shuizhai Gate was blown up and they couldn't get out at all.

To say that Huang Dagen left behind to contain Pengshan City's naval army, there were no heavy artillery ships, and light gunboats could not destroy the water gate of Pengshan City.

Huang Dagen asked Liao Loach, who was in charge here, to learn the reason for the incident. It turned out that after Huang Dagen went north, the naval army in Pengshan City came out to sneak attack several times, and after being hit by artillery fire, they retreated back to the water village, and even burned a frigate with a fire warship.

Just when Liao Loach was angry but helpless, Xia Dagen, who was beside him, came up with an idea. After Xia Dagen arrived in the Thunderbolt Army, he grew a head in a few months due to adequate nutrition, and he was already a tall and thin boy.

He didn't like to read much, and after graduating from the literacy class, he clamored to join the army. couldn't resist his stubbornness, Liao Loach had to ask Ouyang Xuan's permission to integrate him into the company and take him with him.

Xia Dagen suggested to Liao Loach that since it is not easy for the artillery to hit the moving target, it is better to block it in the water wall, and only blow up the water gate.

According to Xia Dagen's plan, Liao Loach sent someone to sail a small boat loaded with gunpowder to the gate of the water village at night.

In order to prevent the current from washing away the boat, Xia Dagen also installed a long iron spike on the front of it. The iron spike penetrated deeply into the wooden gate of the water village under the inertia of the ship, and Xia Dagen lit the lead in the bamboo pole and quickly retreated.

The gate collapsed under a powerful explosion, and the stone and wood on all sides blocked the entrance and exit of the waterway. The huge timber is even heavier when soaked in water, and it is impossible to move it by manpower.

The Mongolian army had no choice but to send repair boats to try to dredge it, but as soon as it sailed to the blockage, it was sunk by intensive artillery fire before construction, which further increased the blockage of the waterway.

When Huang Dagen led the fleet back from Chengdu, Liu Heima sent a fast horse to inform the Pengshan City Navy to stop it, even if all the ships were sunk and the waterway was blocked, Thunderbolt could not be allowed to pass.

This order was so severe, where did the generals of the Mongolian army in Pengshan City dare to slacken, they had to use their knives to force the navy to send ships to clean up, but not only did they not dredge the waterway, but instead sank two more boats, completely blocking the waterway.

Seeing that the Thunderbolt warships successfully passed through Pengshan City, they went upstream along the Min River with a large amount of booty, and the Mongolian cavalry who followed the pursuit had no choice but to leave.

The Min River is much wider than the Jinjiang River, and bows and arrows cannot shoot the ships in the middle of the river at all, and there is no naval army to stop the return of the Thunderbolt army.

After Huang Dagen Xinjin City, he immediately sent a clipper back to Yokohara Fort to report the battle situation, and he couldn't wait to let Ouyang Xuan know about the spoils of the war.

This sneak attack on Chengdu not only far exceeded the political effect that Xuan Ge'er wanted, but also seized a large amount of food and military supplies, which really surprised Huang Dagen and others.

Due to the sudden influx of refugees, the Thunderbolts faced a lack of food. In order to prevent panic from spreading, this situation is not known to ordinary soldiers and civilians.

The exact amount of food shortage is obviously a core secret, and only a few high-ranking military and political officials know it, and only a few people in the water barracks such as Huang Dagen and Le Quanan know it.

On the way back, Huang Dagen had ordered someone to conduct a preliminary inventory of the loot. In addition to the more than 200 Mongolian grain ships that were directly captured, a large amount of grain, salt, cloth, and even dried meat, wine, honey, silk, and other goods were also transported from the warehouse.

Fill the accompanying boats to the brim. In fact, these grains and supplies were prepared to be transferred to the New Zealand Department in eastern Sichuan.

There were 10,000 Mongol cavalry and 15,000 new annexed troops, and the consumption of food for personnel alone was extremely staggering, not to mention that the food consumed by war horses was five times that of personnel.

These captures will obviously keep the Thunderbolts food safe for a long time. Two days later, the clipper brought back Ouyang Xuan's order, he asked Huang Dagen to remain in Xinjin City, in addition to strictly preventing the Mongol army from counterattacking, he could take advantage of the rainy season when the river water rose sharply, with a small force waiting for the opportunity to attack the Mongol strongholds on both sides of the river and waterway, as for most of the grain and other booty stocks in Xinjin City for other use, only need to transport a part to Hengyuan Town.

After Huang Dagen received the order, he immediately ordered Liao Loach to escort the supplies back to Hengyuan Fort, along with the field battalion company that assisted in guarding Xinjin City.

To say that Huang Dagen was a good comrade, in addition to only bringing back thirty ships of grain according to Ouyang Xuan's request, he ordered most of the salt, cloth, wine, honey and other goods to be transported back to Hengyuan Fort, he knew that there were more people in the mountains, and these materials were needed even more.

As for the jerky and silk, there was nothing left, and all of them were shipped back to Yokohara Fort. There are also dozens of horses in the water camp, which are salted and not bad on the way back, and they can be eaten for a while if they are saved.

As for silk, it is used to sew armor linings, but it is a good thing to protect against bows and arrows. After sending off the fleet bound for Yokohara Fort, Huang Dagen immediately ordered a meeting of the company commander and above to discuss the implementation of the order to attack the Mongol stronghold.
