Nanming Yiming

Chapter 42
Chongming Fortress, Wang Erwa and Lin Xiaohao are patrolling the night vigil!
Wang Erwa: "Xiaohao, the wind and waves last night were so big that even the breakwater was washed away in several places!"

Lin Xiaohao: "Isn't it? It's the first time I've seen such a big wave. Those bastards hid in the fort to be lazy, so they sent us brothers out to blow the cold wind."

"Wang Erwa, why are you silent?"

As soon as Lin Xiaohao turned his head, he was knocked out with a stick!
Channing asked, "Is everything done?"

Only one person replied: "Don't worry, including these two, there are 12 in total, and they are all resolved."

Qian Ning said in a low voice: "Brothers, come to me, kill without mercy, and quickly take down the fort!"

At this time, hundreds of Qing soldiers on the fort, before they figured out what was going on, they became dead souls under the knife for no reason.

Qian Ning said: "Quickly, aim at the two outermost ships, sink them directly, and block the exit of the water village for me."

"touch", "touch".
With two loud bangs, the silence of the night was broken!

The black light was blind, and the 2 guns naturally missed the target.But this is only to send a signal to the fleet docked on the shore.

Followed by the roar of more cannons.

I saw that the Chongming navy docked at the water village was attacked by cannons at the same time as the barracks outside the city.

On the Fuchuan outside the port, Lieutenant Wang An said, "The gunners obey the order and quickly aim at the outermost ships and sink them for me. Be sure to block the channel of the water village."

Although it was late at night, but fortunately there was still some moonlight, and the distance was relatively close. After a burst of artillery fire, several ships of the Chongming Navy of the Qing Army moored near the channel quickly caught fire and sank. A small sea-going ship was even bombarded continuously. It blew up.

With the reference of the firelight, the several "Qianjin Fulang machine guns" and "red cannons" on the Chongming Fort immediately aimed at their targets.Although the hit rate is still not high, but also a few blind hits.Under the impact of artillery fire from both sides, several sunken ships blocked the port channel after a while.

On the other side, Yang Wenqi's warships moored on the river were also firing at the Qing army camp.However, due to the long distance, only the No. 1 Frang machine gun with heavy firepower can reach the camp.

《武备志》将仿制的佛郎机分为5号。其中3号和4号是属于轻型的。3号长四五尺，装铅子每个重5两9钱，用药6两。4号长二三尺，装铅子每个重3两，用药3两半。1号和2号是属于重型的。1号长八九尺，装铅子每个重1斤，用药1斤。2号长六七尺，装铅子每个重10两，用药11两。各式佛郎机的射程，凡重在70斤以上的，可达五六里。1、2号佛郎机可用于水战。要塞型佛郎机炮重达1000斤，威力远超1、2号。

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the navy were basically resting in the camp, and only a few people stayed on board.In the blink of an eye, several warships were sunk by artillery fire, and they ran off the ship in a hurry, and no one cared about firing back.

In the darkness, a few more figures appeared among the fleeing crowd, and they shouted as they ran, "It's not good, the Zhoushan Ming bandits have come to attack Hong Kong, there are hundreds of warships in the dark, everyone run for their lives Bar."

At this time, the camp of the Qing army was also attacked by artillery fire.Yang Wenqi's Fuchuan No. 1 also does not have hunting suits and red cannons, and its range and power are actually limited.Although the continuous artillery fire sounds like the earth is shaking, in fact, the actual damage caused is not that great.

This is also a common problem of artillery in this era. After all, there is no blessing of "blossom bullets". Some artillery with a longer range are actually solid bullets, and the direct casualties are quite limited.

(Otherwise, the artillery of the Ming army would have overwhelmed the Qing army at the beginning of the war. Later, due to Kong Youde’s rebellion, he brought advanced firearm technology and firearm concepts to the Qing army, which made the Qing army also begin to pay attention to firearms. In addition, the Ming army’s internal Some corruption issues caused by the poor quality of firearms, so that after the Qing army entered the customs, in some battles, the Qing army even surpassed the Ming army in terms of firearms and equipment.)
Therefore, the role of artillery in this era is more reflected in deterrence. The deterrence to the heart is quite large, and it can instantly cause the morale of the army to collapse.

At this time, more than a hundred soldiers who took the opportunity to sneak into the camp during the day and repaired also began to set fire everywhere, increasing the chaos, and the light of the fire undoubtedly directed the target of the distant naval guns.

Not only that, these soldiers took the opportunity to "fight piecemeal", and within a short while, they killed hundreds of people.

Especially after the defeated naval forces retreated into the camp, the news of "Zhoushan bandits attacking" caused the camp to explode instantly.

Faced with such a chaotic situation, the lieutenant general of the Qing army in the battalion was powerless to attack and crush the defeated soldiers, let alone organize a counterattack to recapture the fort. He could only let the defeated soldiers wrap him and flee towards Chongming County.

"Brothers, run, there are tens of thousands of Zhoushan bandits attacking this time, and there are hundreds of warships alone!"

"My God, thanks for running fast, the camp is already in flames. If you walk a step slower, there may not even be bones left!"

Hearing these words, the rout soldiers were even more frightened at the moment, wishing they could grow an extra leg and run back to Chongming County immediately.

At this time, Tu Guobao, who had just left the city, saw that the camp was already in flames.

He thought to himself: No, the whole camp was set on fire so soon. It seems that the Ming bandits are fiercely fired, and maybe tens of thousands of people really came, so they retreated in their hearts.

While Tu Guobao was hesitating, he suddenly saw a large group of people attacking in front of him.

Tu Guobao immediately ordered the troops to stop, just about to ask: who is coming in front?
I just heard "Bump, bump, bump!!!!"

The sound of gunfire was heard everywhere, and his men and horses were in a mess in an instant, and soldiers around him kept falling down.

Before he had time to integrate his troops, the rout soldiers who were fleeing towards the county town bumped into them head-on.

At this time, the rest of Zhou Boda's troops who were in the rout team had already gathered at the rear of the team. They slashed and killed the rout soldiers in front, shouting as they killed, "It's not good, the Ming bandits are catching up, everyone, run away!" ah!"

Yang Wenqi, who was ambushing in the surrounding area, took the opportunity to fire guns and cold arrows. After a round of output, the troops brought out of the city by Tu Guobao were also rushed into a single wave by the rout in front, and the two waves ran towards Chongming City together.

At this time, the Qing soldiers who were hit by arrows or guns, except for a few "lucky ones" who were hit in the vitals, the rest of the people who fell to the ground were actually only slightly injured, but they were all trampled to death by their companions.

Yang Wenqi waved his sword and shouted, "Brothers, kill me!"

I saw ambushes all around, the Qing soldiers have become frightened at this moment, how can they resist?
Tu Guobao even took the lead in escaping, ignoring command.

In an instant, many Qing soldiers were beheaded by Yang Wenqi's troops.

At this time, someone shouted: "Here is the head of the national treasure of Tu, you should surrender quickly!"

I saw a large number of broken soldiers kneeling and surrendering!
And Tu Guobao's sentence: "Don't listen to their nonsense, I am living well!"

Instead, he attracted a lot of firecrackers.

Seeing such a national treasure, under the protection of several personal soldiers, it rushed to the city desperately.

But Yang Wenqi's department harvested heads as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Although 2000 troops were taken away from the Chongming and Qing army not long ago, at this time, Tu Guobao's 3000-step division and 1500 sailors, a total of 4500 troops.Excluding those who surrendered, there were less than a thousand people who followed him back to Chongming City.

At this time, Qian Mo was standing at the top of Chongming City, shouting: "Tu Zongbing, Chongming City is in my hands now, do you still want to resist?"

Seeing that Tu Guobao was silent, Lu Shanhai directly ignited the two Tiger Cannons on the top of the city wall.

(Tiger crouching cannon was developed and used by Qi Jiguang, a famous Chinese anti-Japanese general in Ming Dynasty. After studying several light artillery at that time, in order to overcome the shortcomings of easy recoil and self-injury when firing, he installed a support frame at the muzzle. It gets its name from the tiger crouching.)
Immediately there was a scream from the dense crowd below the city, and it was this scream that broke down Tu Guobao's last line of defense, and he was about to kneel down and beg for surrender.

Suddenly, Huang Dabiao, the commander-in-chief under his command, said: "Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry to surrender. The enemy's situation is unknown at the moment. We might as well retreat to the fortress in the northwest to see the situation before making any plans."

At this time, Yang Wenqi had already led people to kill the city, but the Qing soldiers under Tu Guobao still had a skill in escaping.

Coupled with Heiye's unfamiliarity with the terrain of the island, Yang Wenqi just couldn't catch up with Tu Guobao.

Seeing that the national treasure of Tu was about to surrender, Qian Mo also felt that it was a pity that the cooked duck flew away.

However, reason told him that at this moment, Tu Guobao had already recovered from that, and the soldiers on his side fought fiercely overnight.

We have to wait until dawn before attacking the garrison in the northwest.

Except for Tu Guobao leading his troops to flee in the end, the whole battle actually went quite smoothly.Since the riverside is less than 10 miles away from Chongming County, it took a total of more than half an hour.

At this time, more than 2000 Qing soldiers had been captured. Qian Ning attacked the fort and beheaded more than 100 Qing soldiers. Killed 100 Qing soldiers, followed the rout and took the opportunity to kill 100 people.Yang Wenqi led the main force to ambush and kill more than 300 Qing soldiers who killed each other and trampled each other to death.

The casualties on his own side were much smaller, because they were all sneak attacks, ambushes and assassinations.A total of more than 30 people were killed in battle, and nearly 50 others were injured, several of whom were blown up by their own artillery fire.

Qian Mo was very satisfied with the result.After all, this was the first city capture battle that I planned and commanded. With less than half of the opponent's strength, I killed 1500 enemy troops and captured 2000. The total casualties on my side were less than 100.

Such a record is comparable to that of ancient and modern famous generals.

Although Tu Guobao finally led the remnants to escape, it seemed that there were some flaws in the ointment.

However, there are less than a thousand Qing soldiers who are still gathering around Tu Guobao and scattered on the island.

In fact, Tu Guobao didn't have much food and grass in his hands, and he couldn't keep the fort in the northwest for long.

What Qian Mo was most worried about was not that he could not take down the fortress, but that Tu Guobao escaped by boat overnight, so that the Qing court would know the news that Qian Mo and Yang Wenqi had captured Chongming in the first place.As a last resort, Qian Mo didn't want to expose himself so quickly. He liked the feeling of being an assassin who hid behind his back and stabbed someone secretly.

So in order to stabilize Tu Guobao, Qian Mo released Tu Guobao's master to report the letter.

Qian Mo told Tu Guobao: This time he and Yang Wenqi have already intercepted 500 million taels of silver, and they are preparing to tell the world to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty. He has no intention of harming Tu Guobao. Lost the position of general soldier, his family property in the city is still preserved.At most, the Ming army in Zhoushan will arrive tomorrow. If Tu Guobao resists, then at dawn, he will use his wife and children to sacrifice the flag in front of the battle.

Seeing the news that Qian Mo brought the Tu National Treasure, Yang Wenqi was also shocked, thinking: Qian Mo is so good at fooling around, how can the Tu National Treasure not surrender under such coercion?
Only in this way, he, Yang Wenqi, could no longer justifiably annex the money and personnel of Tu Guobao. During the day, he had to kill Tu Guobao directly no matter what he said.

Fearing that Tu Guobao would hijack the ship and escape, Qian Mo specially arranged for Zhou Bao, the former chief executive of Zhou Boda's department, to lead his troops to ambush at the pier.He told Yang Wenqi to keep an eye on the captives and prevent Tu Guobao from stealing the camp.

After that, Qian Mo, who was tired all day, went to catch up on sleep.

In Qian Mo's view, as long as Tu Guobao is not mentally retarded, he will definitely surrender.

Why worry about things that will come naturally?

As long as Tu Guobao doesn't die, Yang Wenqi can't swallow Tu Guobao's subordinates for the time being, so he doesn't dare to turn against him openly.

However, it was difficult for Yang Wenqi to fall asleep at this time.

Before Tu Guobao collapsed, he and Qian Mo were natural allies, and of course they cooperated to eliminate the common enemy Tu Guobao.

Once the national treasure is finished, the contradiction will be transferred.Qian Mo became Yang Wenqi's biggest opponent.

There is a saying: one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

To be honest, Yang Wenqi was very conflicted about Qian Mo.

Today's battle is the easiest one Yang Wenqi has fought since he joined the army. Qian Mo calculated accurately, arranged with joint efforts, and linked each other. Yang Wenqi's military achievements are almost easy to grasp.

He admired Qian Mo's talent very much, and naturally hoped that Qian Mo could always obey him.

But is Qian Mo in his control?

The answer is obviously no.

Qian Mo was too calculating, even Hong Chengchou was played and applauded by Qian Mo, let alone himself?
Not only is he good at calculating, but he is also good at winning people's hearts. Then Lu Shanhai and Hong Fugui have only been with him for a few days?

Now they are completely devoted to Qian Mo, and even the rest of Zhou Boda's subordinates are also obedient to Qian Mo.

If it takes a few more days, will Yang Wenqi's subordinates still listen to him?
Yang Wenqi thought of the courtesy of Tu Guobao in Chongming City to Qian Mo and his disregard for him during the day.

It seems that Qian Mo deliberately kept Tu Guobao alive so that he and Tu Guobao could restrain each other, and he came to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

This nasty little thief, as well as his nemesis Lu Shanhai, is now showing off by Qian Mo's side.
The more Yang Wenqi thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

So anger started from the heart, and evil grew to the gallbladder.
