Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 731

On the north bank of the Ma River, there is the camp of the Ming-Mo coalition army.

Gao Yushi received two battle reports in succession, one good and one worrying.The first is of course the victory in the Majiangkou naval battle, and the capture of two large military Galen warships made by the Portuguese, which is a "joy".

But the second piece of news was not so good. Immediately after entering Majiangkou, Gao Jing discovered that the hydrological situation was wrong, so she suspended the fleet from traveling upstream, and withdrew from Majiangkou, and sent someone to contact the Chinese army.

What hydrology?The river is narrow and the water is shallow.

According to Gao Jing's report, although this Majiang River is known as a river, its channel is narrow. There are shoals, and the river water is turbid and sandy, making it unseaworthy for seagoing ships.

More importantly, the water is now shallow—according to the accompanying Navigator of the Mo Jun Navy, the flow of the Majiang River is very changeable, and large ships can be used in summer, but it is still spring around March, and the water flow is not enough. It seems Only some small and medium-sized ships can be taken.

As for why this problem was not discovered until Gao Jing entered the Majiangkou, it was because the Mo Jun Navy did not have large sea ships. According to their thinking, the Majiang River in spring is navigable...

So Gao Jing sent people here now mainly to ask Gao Pragmatic to make up his mind whether the whole fleet should give up entering the Majiang River, or let the armed transport ships of Jinghua's main fleet give up entering the river, and instead let those artillery-laden civilian ships and the Mo Jun navy enter the river to fight.

It is impossible for the entire fleet to give up, otherwise this battle will become a head-to-head battle across the river, which will be more troublesome.After a little hesitation, Gao Wushi ordered the second method: the main fleet waited at the mouth of the Majiang River, and the accompanying merchant ships carrying guns and the navy of the Mo army entered the river to cooperate in the battle.

Two hours later, a fleet mainly of small and medium-sized ships entered Majiangkou. Gao Jing left Jinghua's main fleet to wander in Majiangkou, under the temporary command of Captain Liang Sancai, while he himself boarded Boss Hu's gun-laden merchant ship "Xinglong" is used as a temporary flagship to command operations.

For Gao Jing, although there were no big ships in this battle, these small and medium-sized ships were barely enough. Although the number of artillery on board was reduced by more than half, it was still possible to gather more than 600 large and small artillery pieces.

The funny thing is, among the more than 600 large and small cannons, the Mo Jun Navy actually only has more than 100, and the other nearly [-] cannons are owned by the law-abiding maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a waste if you don't become pirates. Perhaps the "private boat" that the master mentioned occasionally before is very suitable for you to do.

His idea is really not wild. The famous Captain Drake, his ship Golden Hind when he was a pirate was just a small Galen ship of about 300 tons, but it did not hinder him. Known as Europa.

Boss Hu's ship is a merchant ship worth 500 tons, which is [-] tons, which is much richer than Drake's capital.

Besides, Boss Hu still has 12 guns on board.

At about 2:[-] p.m., the fleet that had finally contacted Gao Wushi launched an attack.

However, there was really nothing worth mentioning about this attack. Zheng Jun on the west side of the Majiang River immediately gave up his position along the river and retreated back after seeing the fleet appear. Now there is no one on the defense line along the river.

Gao Jing has already been notified of this situation by the Mo Jun sentry ship, but because the master has explained that he will shell at least two rounds regardless of whether the opponent retreats or not, so he does not intend to save money for Gao Yushi, and command the fleet to take their positions , and then two rounds of fierce bombardment.

Thousands of cannons were fired at once, but the power of hundreds of cannons is not too bad. Zheng Jun, who looked at the beachhead as if it had been plowed by cannons, dropped countless jaws after a few miles - his mother Can you still fight this battle?No matter how hard the head is, it can't withstand the shells!

Highly pragmatic results have been achieved.

He not only wants to deter Zheng Jun, but also Mo Jun who has surrendered to him.Now, the "auxiliary fleet" without the main fleet has such an effect. If the main fleet with more artillery and larger artillery fires a salvo, what is the concept?
The Honghe River is much wider than the Majiang River. If Jinghua's main fleet comes to Shenglong City in such a wave, the capital of hundreds of years will only be left in ruins in one afternoon, right?
Gao Yushi, who had already arrived at the other side of the Majiang River, did not have to worry about his tactical command level being unreliable this time. He ordered with satisfaction: "All generals obey the order and launch the battle of crossing the river!"

A group of generals who were excited by the artillery shouted: "Decree!"

Among the generals flushed with excitement, there were even three female chieftains including Huang Zhiting.

Some of the Mo army warships without artillery and the Ming merchant ships with only two guns have changed into transport ships and began to launch operations across the river under the cover of artillery fire from merchant ships carrying guns.

Thousands of sails compete for the race, and hundreds of boats compete for the flow.

Especially, now that the other party has no resistance at all, what else is there to say, under the command of the generals of the headquarters, they are scrambling to board the ship, ready to go there to claim credit!

The highly pragmatic servants don't have to go forward for the time being, the wolf soldiers have already crossed the river under the carrying of the Ming merchant ships, and some of the surrendered Mo troops still need to rely on some civilian boats or even small sampans collected from them. In short, the opponent has no power to resist now, so just fight to the other side of the Majiang River as much as you want.

At the moment of Shenshi, the former army arrived at the beachhead and consolidated the beachhead position according to the high-level and pragmatic plan.

At this time, Zheng Jun had gradually stabilized his mind under the hoarse shout of the superior general, and then rushed forward desperately.

The Siming Mansion wolf soldiers under Huang Zhiting's command were the first to arrive because they received the best treatment and were carried by the Ming merchant ship. Seeing that Zheng Jun dared to step forward, the eyes of these wolf soldiers shone like Like a hungry wolf, he rushed up to meet the enemy with a howl.

They have received a reward order from Huang Zhiting: the reward for this battle will be increased by half!
The Guangxi wolf soldiers from Ming Dynasty fought against Zheng Jun for the first time.

These ordinary wolf soldiers don't know that Zheng Jun defeated Mo Jun a while ago. They only know that they are "Da Ming Soldier" and the opponent is just a "wild barbarian", with obvious psychological advantages.Especially thinking about the rare high reward, in addition to killing people in his mind, he just reminded himself to remember to cut off the head, other things... are not important.

Regardless of whether you are Mo Jun or Zheng Jun, you are all Annanbing anyway, and Annanbing's heads are getting more and more valuable now, that's great, whether this wave can develop or not depends on whether your heads are enough for me to chop off!

The characteristic of the wolf soldiers is that their organization is divided according to the region. Almost all the comrades around are from the same area or even the same village. Spontaneous groups of three and four rushed forward.

Some time ago, Zheng Jun suppressed Mo Jun for a good fight, and he was used to fleeing from the opposite side. Now that he encountered an army that treated him as a dish, he was a little surprised for a while, but they immediately became angry and raised all kinds of weapons. I greeted him.

However, these Zheng Jun who grew up in the plains, in terms of real combat effectiveness, how could they be the opponents of the wolf soldiers who fought in the mountains of Guangxi?After going up and fighting for a while, I found something was wrong—why did most of the people who died were my own family members?

When a general of the Zheng Army rode forward on a short-footed horse and charged forward, he suddenly heard a voice shouting: "Where did the dog come from, and he is also worthy of riding a horse? Get off me!"

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a Ming army general who was not tall, but every inch of his body seemed to be full of explosive power, stepped forward, and a short bamboo spear in his hand was thrown towards him suddenly.

General Zheng Jun was taken aback, but he had no time to dodge, he watched helplessly as the short spear pierced and pierced him from the junction of chest and abdomen.

With a scream, General Zheng Jun threw his head up and fell off his horse.

Huang Hu snorted coldly, turned his head and shouted loudly: "All ministries of the Siming Mansion, come closer to me, I'm going to destroy the opponent's army!"
