Chapter 138: Battle of Xiaogu Mountain and River Chapter 138: Battle of Xiaogu Mountain and River

Huang Wu's mind changed. Now that he had made a decision, he immediately gave the order.

Thousands of boats circled Xiaogushan in a mighty and mighty manner. The ships of the Qing army could be said to be mighty. Their number was higher than that of the Xia army. But the styles were different, higher or lower. The sails of the various ships were different, most of them were

They are all hard sails.

In this way, the Qing army's ships are naturally inferior to the Xia army's warships, so they win with more numbers. How can they be so numerous? There are so many that several ports on Xiaogushan cannot accommodate them. They can only hide them in other places. Therefore,

Huang Wu made such a desperate move. Almost all of them were mobilized. However, they surged out from different places and formed a torrent.

The mighty flow upstream almost blocked the entire river surface.

Zhou Fuchen shouted: "Okay. I'm really afraid they won't come out."

Zhou Fuchen was defeated several times by Huang Wu, and there was always a fire burning in his heart. If he could have a fair fight with Huang Wu, Zhou Fuchen was determined to defeat this group of mobs. At this moment, he saw Huang Wu going out with a huge momentum, almost overwhelming the top of Mount Tai. He didn't want to

Worry turned to joy, and what I was thinking about was nothing else, but how to complete the victory in one battle without leaving any future troubles.

He knew that he wanted to have such an opportunity again, but it was not easy to find.

He immediately sent a fleet to risk crossing the waterway on the south bank of Xiaogushan, preparing to intercept the Qing navy's defeated troops. Even though he knew that the Qing army also had an ambush in the waterway south of Xiaogushan, Zhou Fuchen also sent some

People have tried to probe, but they still haven't found out completely.

In other words, if you take such a risk to cross this place, you may suffer some losses. It will also weaken the frontal deployment of troops. Zhou Fuchen did not hesitate.

The armies have not yet clashed, but the previous melee to cut off the iron rope has subsided.

Under the pursuit of dozens of ships of the Qing army, only three or four ships escaped. Not many people survived, probably less than 200 people. In this fight, both sides were defeated and wounded.

, it can be said that the Qing army suffered less losses, while the Xia army suffered more losses.

When Shi Lang saw this formation, he immediately said to these people: "Go quickly. Go quickly. If you don't go, you won't be able to go. You won't be able to go."

Shi Lang could see clearly.

In such a battle, both sides had more than a thousand warships of various types. The ships that could be counted were all large ships. Compared with this small boat, which could only carry a few dozen people, it was like a mountain. It was impossible to climb up without a hook lock. After such a battle,

Some small boats were unable to participate at all. Not to mention, the power of the Hongyi cannon's close range bombardment was beyond the ability of this ship to bear. The ship also could not withstand the mere bombardment and shooting from a high position.

It's just like a destroyer joining a battle of battleships.

Under Shi Lang's urging, he ran back desperately. He only heard the roar of artillery on both sides. There were also water pillars on both sides.

After a while, Shi Lang finally rushed into the Xia army's formation. Someone immediately took out a rope ladder and pulled Shi Lang onto the ship. Zhou Fuchen's order was also sent to Shi Lang to go to the flagship immediately.

When Shi Lang changed ships to the flagship.

The two sides were already fighting, and the artillery echoed each other. The sound of the artillery rumbled in the distance, like thunder in the sky.

Zhou Fuchen's ship was a big ship.

It is a carefully built ship with three layers of artillery on it. It jumps out of the water several feet high. It is all made of solid wood and painted with bright red paint. From a distance, it looks majestic and majestic, like a moving palace.

Better than a warship.

If you say so, there is nothing wrong with it.

Because this ship is Zhou Fuchen's ship and the face of the Navy. Zhou Fuchen cherishes it very much. If he is not going on an expedition, he will dock at the dock wherever Zhou Fuchen is. If he goes on an expedition, it will be Zhou Fuchen's ship. It can be said that

, except for a few key battles and ordinary small battles, this ship was never used at all.

The smell of an official office is better than the smell of a battleship.

Zhou Fuchen was at the highest point of the battleship. He could overlook the entire battlefield from a high position. Zhou Fuchen was sitting on a grand master's chair. He was dressed in armor. Under the sunlight, it sparkled and looked very powerful.

Shi Lang saluted Zhou Fuchen and said: "I will pay my last respects to the general."

"Well, General Shi is indeed the person Your Majesty likes." Zhou Fuchen said, "He is indeed a general."

Shi Lang said: "The general is full of praise."

Zhou Fuchen said: "How will the general decide to deal with the current situation?"

After hearing this, Shi Lang straightened up and took a look from a distance. He saw that the two sides had just fought, but the most basic formation could still be maintained. Shi Lang said: "I only have one sentence for my opinion on the navy, that is

Attack, because the boat has no legs and moves with the current, and it is impossible to defend even if you want to. We can only use attack instead of defense, and only advance without retreat."

"The general dare not ask me now how a water war is going, or what to do in a water war all over the world. The general will only have one answer, which is to attack. No matter where it is appropriate, the best strategy is to attack."

"Okay." Zhou Fuchen said, "What General Shi said makes sense. Send me in. All sail will go smoothly today, with my flagship as the first priority and no expense spared in firepower."

"Yes." Someone immediately agreed.

"Dong dong." Countless drums sounded. As soon as the drums on Zhou Fuchen's ship sounded, the drums on other ships also sounded. All the ships approached the front one after another, and the battle suddenly became fierce.

Zhou Fuchen said to Shi Lang: "I want to pay attention to the overall situation and have no time to pay attention to this ship. General Shi, can you do something for me?"

Shi Lang's heart moved. He knew where Zhou Fuchen was.

There is a lack of a person in charge of the ship. It may be too much to say that there are as many such people as possible, but three or five people are always indispensable. This was Zhou Fuchen's promotion of Shi Lang.

This large ship must have hundreds of men and women, and its position in the navy is extremely important, not much worse than the naval generals who guard Xiangyang and Chongqing.

It can be said that he is an important general among the navy.

"The general thanked the general." Shi Lang said: "With the general here, this ship is absolutely safe."

"Okay." Zhou Fuchen immediately ordered those below to transfer the authority to command the ship to Shi Lang.

Zhou Fuchen handed over this matter to Shi Lang as a kind of test. After all, this ship was under Zhou Fuchen's eyes. If there was anything wrong with it, Zhou Fuchen would be able to discover it. This would also reveal Shi Lang's ability.

This is how a great war began.

Since Zhou Fuchen handed over the ship to Shi Lang, Shi Lang would naturally show his ability and there was no need to rectify the soldiers. Because Zhou Fuchen was here, the people below looked at Zhou Fuchen's face and would obey the orders honestly.

After Shi Lang sorted things out, he carried out his idea of ​​attacking, attacking and attacking again without saying a word.

For a time, Zhou Fuchen's ship passed the entire army and became the target. It rushed into the Qing army's array and seemed to split the Qing army's warships into two. Zhou Fuchen's ship became the most intense place of fighting.

Zhou Fuchen's position on the ship was so eye-catching that he could see it from a distance. Therefore, all the artillery and arrows were fired at Zhou Fuchen.

The guards below were holding large shields and guarding Zhou Fuchen solidly. However, this may not be perfect, but a cannonball flew from nowhere and hit the surrounding guards, including people and shields.

They were all pierced.

For a moment, pieces of blood and flesh flew everywhere. Even Zhou Fuchen was covered in blood.

The soldiers around Zhou Fuchen were frightened and trembling.

"General, Shi Lang is unpredictable and has put the general in danger." A guard said loudly.

"Nonsense." Zhou Fuchen said loudly: "General Shi Lang obeyed my order, and his order is my order. The soldiers can work hard and risk their lives, so why can't I. Someone, please remove the shield wall and let me

Everyone, look, I am with the soldiers."

To be honest, if Zhou Fuchen was allowed to make up his own mind, he would be a little hesitant in such an unexpected situation and being surrounded by a heavy siege. Although Zhou Fuchen is now a general, he also comes from a scholarly family. He is also a person who has read the books of sages.
