Chapter 1561 Fire Attack
"What, the 'Shun Thieves' surprise Lushunkou?" Jialaerzhen Shi Mingxiong, who was listening to the music in Lushun Fort, was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, this is a letter that my master ordered me to send!" The servant who came to deliver the letter hastily presented a letter.

Shi Mingxiong ordered the servants around him to take a look, and saw a line written on it: "Brother Shi, it is very urgent for the 'Shun Bandit' to raid my port. I have already led my troops to the Golden Mountain to resist."

"I also hope that brother will not go to Lao Tieshan, attack the 'tiger tail', and cut off the way back. Brother Guofu will pay homage."

"Okay, immediately send an order to the three armies to gather at the school ground and prepare to attack!" Shi Mingxiong pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing wrong with Song Guofu's arrangement, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Shi Mingxiong and Song Guofu didn't have many people under their command, only 500 people.

Song Guofu has a total of 800 people in land and water, and Shi Mingxiong has only [-] people under his command.

When he made up his mind in Lushun Fort, he first sent an envoy to notify the Golden State guard, then reserved 200 people to garrison Lushun, and finally led 500 people to set off.

It turns out that although Lushun Fort has only one name, it is actually divided into two cities, the north and the south.

Although these two cities have few small gates, they are the most difficult to attack.

When the Liaodong Peninsula in Dongjiang Town fell, Lushun Fort was guarding the isolated city, but it also resisted tenaciously under the leadership of Huanglong, the commander-in-chief. and others.

When all the gunpowder, arrows and stones were exhausted, the commander-in-chief Huang Long, the subordinates Li Weiluan, Shang Keyi, Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong and others died in battle.

Therefore, after Hou Jin seized the two cities of the north and the south, he appointed Shi Mingxiong to be stationed in the north city and Song Guofu to station in the south city to resist the invasion of the Ming army navy.

Among the two cities, the south city is close to the port, which is the foundation of the Jinshui Division after Song Guofu took over. Therefore, when he heard that Lushun Port was lost, Song Guofu desperately rescued it.

Although Beicheng is safe for a while, there is still a risk of being attacked by the rebels by detour, so Shi Mingxiong only divides the troops.

That Shi Mingxiong led five hundred armored soldiers, left Beicheng, and marched west along the coast.

After walking for only an hour, suddenly a soldier pointed in the direction of the port and said, "Master, look!"

When Shi Mingxiong heard the words, he turned his head and looked around, only to see thick smoke billowing from the port and the flames soaring into the sky. He didn't know who set the fire and what was destroyed.

"Hurry up, let's go!" Shi Mingxiong was taken aback when he saw this, with a vague premonition in his heart, he hurriedly urged loudly.

It turned out that although Song Guofu was no match for Geng Zhongming on land, he had a navy in his hands.

When Song Guofu was on the verge of being beaten by Geng Zhongming, some small boats approached the sailors who were in a mess.

Naturally, these surviving small boats had nothing to do with the rebel navy, but they shot at Geng Zhongming's troops on the shore from the sea, but Geng Zhongming had no temper.

"Zhiniang thief, what to do with these 'water ghosts', let the general soldier figure out a way!" Even Geng Zhongming, who is known for his resourcefulness, has no choice at this moment, so he has to hide at the foot of the mountain far from the shore, waiting for the rebel navy reinforcements.

However, just as Geng Zhongming was complaining, Zhao Liangdong, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin and the admiral of the navy, was getting off the "Fengzhou sailing battleship" with a gathered face, and set foot on the land on the side of the Golden Mountain at the exit of Lushunkou.

"What's the matter, why haven't the Tartar ships been cleared yet?" Seeing the subordinates who came to greet him, he couldn't help but reprimanded.

"General, killing the enemy is easier than capturing the enemy. Although our navy has the advantage, the water in the mouth is shallow and narrow, and the big ships dare not go deep. It is difficult to distinguish the winner from the small boat." The general immediately argued.

It turns out that although Lushunkou is a natural harbor, if there is a water battle in it, small boats are not good for big ships.

Although there are many rebel ships, if they enter this place, there is a high probability that they will be attacked by the "fire boat" of the Houjin Navy.

This "fire boat" is loaded with sulfur, oil and hay, and the bow is equipped with iron cones and iron spears.

Once close to the big ship, they will use the strength of the hull to nail into the hull of the big ship, and then ignite the sulfur and oil on it to burn the warship.

In the past, when Zhou Yu set fire to Chibi, and when Zhu Yuanzhang fought against Chen Youliang, they all used this technique.

Although Zhao Liangdong is not a famous general, he is still a veteran general, how could he not know?

It was just for the subsequent transportation of personnel and materials, the plan of the rebel army was to preserve the port and ships as much as possible.

It's just that the two sides are now at an impasse, and there is a risk of a reversal at any time, so Zhao Liangdong can't have both.

He hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Give me an order. Since you can't force the Tartar navy to surrender, attack me with fire and burn it down!"

"Hey, okay, I'll do it now!" The general couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and said goodbye quickly.

Following Zhao Liangdong's order, not long after, the general gathered [-] to [-] fireboats, loaded with sulfur, oil, hay, etc., and ordered the dead men proficient in water to drive them all the way to Lushun port.

Unlike Zhang Shun's performance in movies and TV dramas in his previous life, the fire boat was not ignited from the very beginning, but just like an ordinary sentinel ship or a probe ship.

Afterwards, when the Jinshui division saw the rebel ships, they thought they were small boats that came to clear them up, and immediately dispersed, hiding in nearby harbors to avoid the sharp edge.

It's just that no one thought that these ships would not go anywhere, but just crashed straight towards Lushun Port.

Whenever they encountered wooden docks, fences, ships and other objects, they rammed them head-on, and the iron cones and iron spears on the bow were nailed to them fiercely.

When the ship was nailed, the dead soldiers on the ship set fire with a torch, ignited the kindling on the ship, and then jumped into the water to escape.

"Fire, fire, fire!"

It didn't matter if the fire boat was set, the flames shot up into the sky, and within a short time, the entire port and the large ships moored in the port were ignited.

At this moment, both Song Guofu and the boat hiding elsewhere were all dumbfounded.

It is not impossible for these small boats to live without the port, but this port is their stronghold.

No matter where the ships are scattered, they will eventually return here to receive military orders and supplies.

Now that the port is burned, not only are these people at a loss, even if they are asked to burn the rebel warships with fireboats, there is nowhere to find sulfur and oil.

"We're defeated, Daqingguo is defeated." As Lushun Port was on fire, someone yelled, and many people immediately reacted.

Lost, Daqingguo was indeed defeated!

That being the case, what are you still doing here?
All of a sudden, the dry water pawns scattered like birds and beasts, like waking up from a dream.

"Come back, come back quickly!" Under the light of the soaring flames, Jiala Ezhen Song Guofu couldn't help but panic when he saw the sailors who were shooting at Geng Zhongming's troops in the sea retreat slowly.

It's just that no matter how much he calls, he can't get a response.

And at this moment, Geng Zhongming finally showed his ferocious fangs, and said with a sneer, "What are you shouting for? Song Guofu, you dare to fight against me five times and three times!"

"This time you are doomed, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will not be able to save you!"
