The next day, the river was still foggy, and the visibility was only ten feet, so it was not suitable for troops.
Zhou Shixiang was also worried, so he asked Zhang Huangyan for his opinion. Zhang Huangyan pondered for a while, and said that although the fog was not good for his own hands, it was also not good for the Qing army. Under the cover of heavy fog, the Qing army could not detect the movement on the river in time.
Gan Hui, Yu Xin and others also believed that the heavy fog did not affect the operation, and perhaps it was helpful. Zhou Shixiang was relieved and ordered all the Taiping Army units participating in the operation to immediately follow the unified command of Shang Shu Zhang Huangyan. Beheading, there are those who do not obey orders.
Zhou Shixiang was still waiting at Beigu Mountain for news from the marquis, while Zhang Huangyan, Gan Hui, Yu Xin, Guo Faguang, Wei Dalong and other generals led the troops to act according to the advance arrangement. After Zhang Huangyan, Gan Hui and others got on the boat, they ordered the large ships to be connected with iron chains to avoid collisions due to unclear line of sight when sailing. He also ordered the small boats to follow the big boats, and each boat was connected by chains or ropes, so as not to be scattered due to unclear sight. The ships also ordered that the sound of trumpets is strictly prohibited, and the officers and soldiers were all silent.
In the thick fog, the Ming army navy quietly touched the “Rolling River Dragon” chain of the Qing army blocking the river. The sailors on more than a dozen large ships are veteran sailors of the Zheng Army and the Zhejiang Army, and at the helm are officers of the Zhejiang Army who have entered the Yangtze River several times. Due to the limited line of sight, the Ming army navy did not dare to speed up, and it took more than half an hour to travel several miles. At this time, the fog has lightened, and there is a hidden sunlight in the sky above the river. It will not take long for the fog to dissipate.
The Qing army in Beixinzhou Fort did not notice the Ming army in the fog, and the water camp in Guazhou on the north shore was also ignorant. When the Qing army’s “Rolling River Dragon” and Li Xudi were still there, Zhang Huangyan instructed Gan Hui: “The rolling river dragon is ahead, and the big boat should not be approached. General Gan, take someone to row a small boat over there.”
“Follow the orders of Lord Shangshu!”
Gan Hui ordered more than 300 soldiers from two teams to take more than 20 small boats. Everyone paddled together and worked hard to move forward.
Zhang Huangyan also ordered the sea ships to be in front and the civilian ships in the back, and the artillery on the large and small ships was bombarding the Beixinzhou fort of the Qing army in front.
“Bang! Bang!”
The sound of the cannon broke the silence on the river. The Qing army on Beixinzhou heard the sound of the cannon and immediately knew that the Ming army was coming. At this time, the fog had dissipated a lot, and the Qing army found the boat of the Ming army heading for the “Rolling River Dragon”, and immediately roared and fired artillery to block it.
The cannonballs of the Ming army fell on Beixinzhou, and the cannonballs of the Qing army sprayed water columns on the river surface. Gan Hui was unafraid on the boat, and kept shouting at the commander to move forward bravely. Suddenly, not far from the right side of the boat where Gan Hui was, a boat was shot, the wood chips flew, and the warriors above fell into the water instantly. Zhang Huangyan’s face tightened when he saw it, and Luo Lun, who was behind him, let out an exclamation.
Gan Hui did not take care of his subordinates who fell into the water. The more than 300 soldiers he brought used to be the diving ghosts in the Yanping domain. They were responsible for inspecting ships on weekdays. In wartime, they surveyed the waters and pierced through enemy ships. “The Ruan family is like brothers, and the water is very good. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] Although the current on the river is turbulent, these sailors have floating sacs made of cowhide on their bodies. Dangerous.
“Go down!”
After carrying the guns of the Qing army to the “Rolling River Dragon”, Gan Hui gave an order, and the sailors dived into the water in groups of three, armed with iron saws and large scissors, and disappeared in an instant.
The Qing army on the island saw that the Ming army’s water ghost had dived into the river, and knew that the other party was destroying the “Rolling River Dragon”, so they were so anxious that they kept hitting the cannons in the nearby waters. The water splashed everywhere, and blood gushed from the “Rolling River Dragon” from time to time.
Zhang Huangyan couldn’t see the specific situation at the “Rolling River Dragon”, but he was very anxious when he didn’t see Gan Hui’s success. Seeing that the Qing army’s artillery pieces were too dense, he immediately ordered the few Longhuo Gong to fire all the artillery pieces to suppress the Qing army’s artillery fire.
The so-called “Dragon Fire Tribute” is actually the artillery that Yanping Fan salvaged and imitated the red-haired man. Jinxia has obtained this kind of artillery from foreigners as early as Zheng Zhilong. After that, Zheng Chenggong obtained RB assistance in Yongli five years to cast bronze cannons by himself; in Yongli seven years, he salvaged two cannons outside Haicheng Port. It is called “Dragon Fire Tribute”. The weight of this cannon is 6,000 to 7,000 catties, and it can fire 20 to 24 catties of shells, which is more powerful than the Qing army Hongyi artillery that fires 5 catties of shells.
There are only eight dragon fire tributes on the navy ship, which were grabbed by Liang Huafeng on the river bank outside Yifengmen when Liang Huafeng led the Qing army to attack Zheng Jun. The Taiping army broke through Nanjing. donated. Originally, Zhang Huangyan was planning to wait for Gan Hui to break the Dragon, and then use the Dragon Fire tribute to suppress the Qing army, and cooperate with the two brigades of the first town of the Taiping Army to land on the island, but now he can’t care so much.
“Open the Dragon Fire Tribute!”
As the officer shouted loudly, the Zheng Jun soldiers who had previously operated the Dragon Fire Tribute skillfully loaded the Dragon Fire Tribute with ammunition.
There was a loud noise of “Bang!”, and in an instant, several lucky boats equipped with large dragon fire tributes followed suit, “Bang bang bang!” With a loud noise, the Ming army gunners quickly loaded the ammunition, less than a cup of tea time, Another bang. Although the Qing army on the Beixinzhou fort was also equipped with more than 3,000 catties of Hongyi artillery, but under the suppression of the dragon fire tribute more than twice the weight, they were completely powerless. The sound of the previously dense counterattacks suddenly became sparse.
After a few rounds of Long Huo Gong, Luo Lun exclaimed in surprise: “Shang Shu, General Gan and the others have broken the Dragon and started to land!”
Hearing this, Zhang Huang was overjoyed and looked up. Sure enough, Gan Hui and the others had already sailed to Beixinzhou in a small boat~www.readwn.com~ and raised the red flag.
Obviously, the dragon is broken!
“The whole army marches forward to attack Beixinzhou!”
Zhang Huangyan ordered excitedly. The sailors on the Ming army navy ship heard the order and immediately cut off the interconnecting chains. Soon he rushed over the Gunjiang Dragon and rushed towards the Qing army fort in Beixinzhou.
Gan Hui led his warriors to land on the beach, with long knives in their hands, naked, and rushing towards the Qing army on the shore, shouting and killing. On the river, the incoming Ming army ships, whether sea ships or civilian ships, fired their artillery. The Qing army on the northern new state could not stop Gan Hui’s troops, and they broke into it, and saw the Ming army landed from the warship in large numbers, and the army’s morale immediately became unstable.
However, due to the mud around the Beixinzhou fort, coupled with the trenches and wooden walls of the Qing army, the two brigades of the first town of the Taiping army that attacked the shore suffered great losses. After paying more than 200 casualties, the first town medicine kit Blast the wall and seize the fort. Gan Hui was the first to board the fort, and slashed the green flag of the Qing army with one sword. The Ming army on the river and on the shore immediately cheered and boosted morale. At the same time, the Qing army Guazhou water camp on the north bank also left the port and quickly headed towards Beixinzhou. There were not only more than 3,000 northern green battalions on board, but also more than 1,000 elite Han troops. (To be continued.)
