Break Through River Defenses
Chapter 1027:Break Through River Defenses
The turtle boat on the river surface collided with the open army warship, or sailed through the gap of the battleship and rushed to the south shore.
The bottom of the boat hit the river beach, the moment when the ship's body was stable, the iron plate in front of the turtle boat was pushed down, and the Wei sergeant with iron helmets inside, holding various weapons, roared down the ship and wading on the water shore.
On the Ming Army battleship, Zheng Sen saw the ship rushing to the south bank and wanted to pursue it, but after the turtle boat, nearly a thousand ships and rafts of size and rafts came again.
These small boats and large rafts were also placed in a cannon in the bow, and some did not even have artillery, and the soldiers were carrying several thunderstorms, and a shield was placed in front of the raft to block the fire and the bow and arrows, and they were killed with a musket.
On the one hand, the turtle boat rushed to the shore, and on the other, the large and small boats from the Shaanjiang River, so that the Ming Army Marine Division was caught in a dilemma.
Zheng Jiashui Division across the sea, are sea ships, the sailors rushed to control the sails, want to let the ship turn around, to pursue the Wei army ship, but the turtle boat has been rowing.
At this time, the Wei army ship from the river rushed up again, a blessed boat turned, was hit by the Wei army serial ship, the iron nails on the front ship, directly nailed into the tail of the blessed ship, Wei sergeant-in-arms lit the fire oil and chai grass piled on the front ship, and freed the iron ring, driving the back boat to escape, the ship was immediately swallowed by the flame.
The Yangtze River is narrow, and there is water flowing to the east, and the big boats of the Ming Dynasty are far less flexible than small boats.
For a time, the river was on fire, and such a scene immediately reminded Zheng Sen of the sea war in Jinluo Bay many years ago.
Although he did not participate in the battle, he also knew that his father Zheng Zhilong, who swarmed on fire boats and defeated the Dutch fleet.
“Do not worry about passing ships and prevent other ships from approaching.”Jenson shouted loudly.
Wei's turtle boat, the two sides of the paddle rowing, although called the turtle boat, but the speed is not slow, did not wait for the Ming army war ship to turn, has opened the distance with the Ming army.
Zheng Jiashui Division dominates East Asia, the sea is more suitable for them to exert their hands and feet, in the inland sea boat is bound, and the task is to resist Weijun ships, can not pull away the distance shelling, so it has been subjected to many restrictions.
The Ming army battleship received orders, immediately adjusted the hull of the ship, and intercepted the enemy ship from the river.
"Bombing..." The cannon roared, splashed on the river surface, a water column on the road, a clump of smoke, rose, spread in mid-air, thin, and finally scattered by the river wind.
Behind the Wei army ship, there is no iron plate protection, once it is under heavy shelling, immediately splashing wood, and some rafts, only need a shot, it becomes a pile of drifting wood.
...
On the shore, Ming Army built a long wall along the river beach, and the troops were scattered on the south bank, and six thousand soldiers defended the river near the Zhenjiang River.
At this time, the piers along the river had already raised a warning smoke, informing Wei Jun to the location of the river, and asking the Ming army of other ferry defenses to come to support as soon as possible.
Although the Yangtze River is Tianyan, but thousands of miles of defense, everywhere need to arrange troops, Jiangbei Ming army main force, almost the whole army, the remaining troops need to be stationed around the defense, Zhenjiang even if the key defense place, but also only arranged the six thousand Ming army.
Ten miles of smoke, in the blink of an eye, has already reached Nanjing City.
After dawn, Zhu Cihui had found Wei Jun bluff, saw the warning smoke coming from the direction of the town, he scolded Gao Yixuan cunning, hastened to order, let the garrison reinforcements everywhere.
For a time, on the southern shore of the Yangtze River, a single arrow shot into the sky, to replace the military order, the upper reaches of the town river garrison, have picked up weapons to the east, the team is raging.
At this time, Fang Guoan was riding on the war horse, carrying a large knife, Lema standing by the road, looking at the subordinates with the helmet, running to the east, and urging from time to time in his mouth, "Hurry up, hurry up!"The people behind me.
After Wei Jun captured Younan, Fang Guoan directly led the troops to flee south, and only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses returned to Wuhu.
Zhu Cixiao was originally to ask his sin, but Jiang was emptied and needed people to defend, so he was not punished.
...
The Yangtze River is not the above-ground river, the river beach is relatively flat, the garrison is not safe to keep, if you want to deal with the Wei army on the shore, you must drive the Wei army down the river, otherwise the Wei army more and more gathered, with the strength of the Ming army, it can not keep the river beach.
The artillery of the Ming army on the shore sounded, and an iron bullet hit the edge of the river, splashing a high water column and silt, the river was splashed into the sky, and it fell, the Wei sergeant on the water bank, as if advancing in the heavy rain, many people were hit by rubble, fell in the water, and the river was red when it stood.
Sergeant Ming by the river, a soil wall was formed on the river beach, and the Ming arms gunman behind the wall pointed the gunman at the incoming Wei Army, and the "bang bang" gunshots, Sergeant Wei fell to the ground.
Ming army built a fortification, the riverside terrain is low, was suppressed in the river beach, can only be passively beaten, Li Yuanxian raised the war knife, picked up the shield, hissed, "Brothers kill!"
More than a thousand Wei army, under the cover of the musketeer, held up a shield and rushed to the wall, the low wall of the Ming Army is very low, if the Wei army continues to land, more and more people, certainly can not keep.
Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that the Wei army did not reach the shore force, and the foothold was unstable, so that they could be rushed into the river.
"Fire coffin suppresses the Wei Thieves, and does not allow Wei Thies to continue to disembark, long gunmen, sword and shields, kill them as I follow, and drive the Wei Thieves down!"Ming Min, a sword, roared, and took three thousand soldiers and horses, crossed the low wall, and hit more than a thousand Wei army.
The fierce fighting, the moment unfolded, the two sides collided with the shields, the knife and the gun were hit, and the flesh and blood flew, and the Ming Army blocked the Wei Army under the earth wall.
“Fire shot!”Sergeant Ming on the earth wall, continued to put the truncheons, intensively shot the projectile to the edge of the river, and shot the Wei army that had just wading on the water shore.
The Wei Army, which waved from the turtle boat wading on the shore, faced the artillery bombardment of the Ming Army Marine Division battleship on the river surface, and faced the overwhelming rain, and constantly fell to the ground.
At this time, the Ming army with three thousand swords and shields and long guns, fought under the earth wall, so that the Wei army could not kill the earth wall, and the Ming army on the earth wall, without the threat of Wei Jun, calmly shot the Wei Army on the beach.
...
On the north shore, Gao Yihuan looked at the opposite bank with a thousand-liar mirror, and the camera was blurred by smoke, and the scene of the south bank could not be seen.
However, he can be sure that the Wei army did not land smoothly, if the Wei army occupied the beach, the artillery should have been set up, began to bombard the seaman on the surface, but now the Ming army Marine Division, but did not suffer the shelling, but constantly the Wei army's small boat and raft.
This makes Gao Yixiang can't help but be anxious, if you can't open the situation on the south bank, build a gun array and Guazhou to cooperate with the north and south of the Guazhou Fortress, control the river surface, I am afraid that the people and horses of the river, as well as the boats in the river, will be finished.
If the battle of the river is defeated, the Wei army will lose heavily, and the plan to sweep Jiangnan will fall short, and the high person will really become the second in Mende.
...
At this time, the south shore was still fierce, and as more and more soldiers and soldiers were on the shore, the red cannons were also transported to the shore.
“First the wall!”Wei waved the flag and saw that the former army was suppressed and immediately drank.
“Hang!”With a loud noise, a shell hit the wall and brought out a gap.
At this time, a hooves roared, a tortoise ship in front of the guard plate was opened, more than 30 cavalry in the warehouse, whistling out, the horse involved in the water and shore, for the general general Ma Huan a pressure, Wei sergeant-at-arms have to avoid.
The cavalry galloped up to the river beach, the horse stabbed the sergeant-in-arms, and the horse stabbed the sergeant to death.
After a high horse, the Pegasus leaped over the gap and directly into the earth wall, more than 30 cavalry followed it rushed into the wall.
...
On the river, Zheng Sen was commanding the battleship, bombarding the Wei army ship, a sea canopy ship, under the shelling, into a pile of driftwood.
The huge three-masted gunboat, riding the wind and waves, knocked over the raft of the Wei Army one by one, and the river was full of people struggling.
Wei Jun second echelon, only a small number of ships, successfully broke through the obstacles, arrived on the south shore, most of them were stopped by the watershield.
Zheng Sen saw a small ship, eat water is very deep, it is estimated to transport more than 200 Wei Jun, his face showed a cruel color, is about to order, around suddenly "hush" a loud noise, a shell will be broken through the gunboat, countless broken wood splash.
Zheng Sen looked back, the look suddenly changed, only to see the Wei army that was blocked in the river beach, is rushing up the river beach, a Wei army gun array on the shore, the fire flicker, raised a smoke belt, the iron bullet roared to the Ming army battleship.
