Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 610

King Lu's navy was mainly active at sea, so most of them were large ships, while the Qing army mostly had small ships.

At this time, the Qing army was going against the current and the wind, while the Ming army was going against the current and the wind. The Ming army fired rockets and ignited the sails of the clearing ship, but the wind did not help the fire, and the smoke and dust blew in the direction of the Ming army instead, blocking the Ming army's vision.

The Ming army did not raise the sails, and the rockets hit the ship. Although the wind was down, it did not cause much damage. However, the small boats rushing towards the Qing army attracted the attention of the Ming army. It was obvious that Guan Zhongzhong wanted to attack and burn the ship.

The red dragon boat is a kind of close-combat boat. The soldiers are hidden in the ship building. When they get close to the poisonous fire, the firearms are fired together. The mother ship is purely a fire ship. The enemy ship, the soldiers set fire to it, and then left in a sub-boat.

At this time, the two armies on the river were separated by one or two hundred steps, and the sky was covered by rockets, like a rain of meteors and fire, like a swarm of locusts flying around, and the board of the ship was full of rockets.

The Ming army had many firearms, and it was even more obvious in water warfare. The bows and arrows shot not ordinary arrows, but rockets tied with gunpowder, and the range far exceeded that of ordinary bows and arrows.

The distance is close, and the power of the artillery is also revealed. The big ship is fine after a few shots, but the small boat is easy to be smashed.

The two armies shot at each other, and from time to time there were soldiers on the ship's side, screaming, and the arrow fell into the water, and some of them shook their bodies like chaff, and were hit by bird guns.

In water battles, it is easy to fall into the water. Soldiers usually wear light armor, or even only battle robes. The defense against arrows and bird guns is reduced, so casualties are higher than land battles.

Guan Xiaozhong commanded the Qing ship to charge, but soon he was embarrassed. With the sails of the ship burned and without wind power, the Qing army's ship was in the river, instead of advancing, it retreated, blocking the warships behind .

The Qing army's ship handling skills were not good, but they were very brave in the boarding battle. Guan Zhongzhong relied on hand-to-hand combat near the ship.

At this time, the Qing army's small boat was already approaching the bright boat with its arrow feathers. Zhang Mingzhen waved his hand to disperse the smoke, and hurriedly ordered: "The fire dragon comes out of the water, and the long pole is ready."

On the Ming ship, the soldiers immediately carried out a firearm shaped like a dragon's body. This is a water warfare weapon. It is shaped like a rocket in principle, divided into two stages, and somewhat similar to a torpedo, but it is used on the water surface.

A red dragon boat of the Qing army saw a flying dragon leaping towards the surface of the water. With the help of the rocket, it was extremely fast and hit the hull in the blink of an eye. The medicine inside exploded, and the flames immediately shot up. Pyro, howling, jumped into the river.

"Shoot the sail!"

As long as the Ming army burned the Qing army's sails, the Qing army's ships lost their wind power, and the big ships would be pushed back by the current and lose the ability to collide, while the small boats could only roll forward and slow down.

Fires broke out everywhere on the river, and the smoke and dust drifted to the side of the Ming army, seriously affecting the vision. Many mother and daughter ships took the opportunity to collide.

However, the battlefield is wide, and there are always caught fish. A mother and child hit the Ming army's blessing boat. The spikes on the bow penetrated into the hull and bit them firmly. Sitting in a small boat and rowing away, the wind helped the fire, and the lucky boat immediately ignited.

A fire boat, for a big ship, the Qing army can be said to have made a lot of money.

The fire on the ship was too strong, and the flames sprang up and involved a warship behind him, and the surrounding ships immediately became chaotic.

At this time, as the fire boats were ignited one after another, the ships of the two armies finally approached, and the soldiers began to hit each other with long weapons. The big ship of the Ming army rushed into the Qing ship like a plow, and all the small boats were knocked away until there was a "boom" It stopped suddenly when it hit a large ship.

The Qing ship was knocked and tilted, and the Qing soldiers on the deck rolled into the river one after another. The Ming army's bow was raised high, and the soldiers on the deck turned their backs. The two ships fell back heavily. , rushed to the enemy.

The ship is so big, the boarding battle is all about morale, either throwing the enemy into the river, or being forced to dive into the water. For a while, the flanks are fighting hand-to-hand, and there are desperate struggles everywhere, and the sound of gold and iron clashing can be heard endlessly.

Zhang Mingzhen's ship rammed a large Qing army ship by the middle, and the bow was inserted into the Qing ship. Side battle.

The Qing army came from the chrysalis, and the Ming army roared again and again. Zhang Mingzhen's saber flew up and chopped down the Qing soldiers who jumped on the Ming ship.

Guan Xiaozhong discovered Zhang Mingzhen's boat, and immediately ordered the boat to go up. Before the soldiers boarded the boat, he raised his knife and jumped onto the open boat.

These Qing navy sailors, four years ago, were troops from the four towns of Daming Jiangbei. In the war against the Qing army’s southern invasion, they did not fight a single battle. like blood.

The Ming army's flanks were fighting fiercely everywhere, bleeding everywhere, and the sound of killing was loud.

At this time, the main battleship of Yantou of the Ming Army finally collided with the fleet of the Qing Army.

Standing on the deck, Zhu Yihai stood facing the wind, drew his sword and pointed at the large flag of the Qing army fluttering in the wind, and shouted loudly: "Target, the flagship of the captive soldiers, go!"

Zhu Yihai's big ship was remodeled and equipped with oars. The Ming army could only rely on the river water to propel the ship forward against the wind. The impact force was obviously not enough. Following his order, the drums on the ship beat more and more urgently, and the ship's cabin was constantly The oarsmen, who had recharged their energy, began to paddle with all their strength, and the speed of the big boat immediately increased.

The flagship of the Ming army launched an attack on the Qing army. Seeing that it was about to crash into the Qing ship, everyone on the ship became nervous, but they heard Zhu Yihai sing loudly: "Rushing to the crown, leaning on the railing, it's raining. Look up, look up to the sky and scream , strong and intense~"

With a "boom", the big ship suddenly crashed into the clearing boat, and a small boat at the bow was directly knocked out, but the big ship only vibrated slightly.

King Lu's ship was close to two thousand pieces, and the largest Qing army ship was only one thousand pieces. Under the acceleration of the oars, it was like a thunderbolt sweeping holes, and the Qing army's boat was like a mantis arm blocking a car.

Liang Huafeng saw that the king of Lu knocked away the Qing soldiers one after another in a boat.

This huge monster is like a castle on the water. The Qing army wanted to lean on it to meet the ship's side. The ship was not half as high as it, and it could not reach its side. Attack and burn the ship.

"Command, son and mother boat, chain boat, burn him."

The big ships of the Qing army dodged again and again, and the small boats rushed towards the king of Lu by relying on their maneuverability.

At this time, Man Jianghong on the ship had turned into a chorus. Zhang Huangyan and other civil servants and aides blushed and joined in. Even the soldiers on the ship clenched their swords and guns and straightened their chests. , When will it be destroyed? Drive a long car and step through the gaps in Helan Mountain! Aim to eat Hulu meat hungry, laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of Huns~”

The passionate singing echoed on the battlefield, and the warships of the Ming army followed closely behind the King of Lu ship. On the road where the big ship crashed, the artillery on both sides fired together, breaking into the clear formation like a broken bamboo.
