Win the Ding 1617

The oil altar, a water warfare weapon, originated very early.

Those who have watched John Woo's version of "Red Cliff", although the whole film is full of Japanese flavor and Hollywood characteristics, for example, Gan Ning is basically the general under a daimyo, so he is almost alone.Not to mention various slots and golden sentences, but there are also some details that are more desirable, such as weapons such as oil altars, everyone should have seen the production of these things.

According to the records in books such as the General Martial Arts Classics, duck eggs or eggs, preferably larger goose eggs, are used to make oil jars. Pour tung oil into it and seal it with tissue paper; put it into a magnetic altar or pottery altar, ten or eight, depending on how full it is, add a lid, and seal it; then wrap it around the altar with a thin rope.Basically, the principle of making this thing is basically the same as that of Molotov’s Molotov Flask, the difference lies in the technical level and raw materials.

It is similar to the Molotov Cocktail in use, and is thrown at the enemy target after approaching.As a weapon used in water warfare, the oil altar, an arson object, is of course thrown over when the ships of the enemy and us meet, and when it breaks, the tung oil will overflow. Steady slipping and falling; it is not conducive to the use of weapons, and the ship's plank is oily, which is easy to burn, and it is also convenient for us to set fire to the ship.

The fast crab fleet commanded by Ehri threw this thing at Li Huamei's fleet.Behind the fleet of the Qing army, there are hundreds of arson ships, loaded with reeds, sulfur, fish oil, etc., just want to replicate the classic battle of burning warships on the Yangtze River.I don't know if the poison of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too deep.

"Even if we can't set Li Huamei's crazy woman's boat on fire, it will be easier if we pour oil on it and the arsonist boat behind will light it!" Ehri had already made up his mind and offered a reward.

"Throwing an oil jar on board the Nanman boat costs ten silver dollars! Throwing a torch or shooting a rocket onto it costs the same ten yuan! Once the Nanman boat is lit, this general will ask the master to give you credit. Don't dare to do anything else." Said, for a future, let's risk our face to beg in front of the general and the prince regent!"

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.What's more, the Qing army never broke its promise in terms of rewards and fulfillment.Not to mention that all kinds of sweet words are flying all over the sky when you are working hard, and when the task is completed, the rewards will be taken back, not to mention, you can only serve as a background board for taking pictures.

A dozen fast crab boats rushed towards Li Huamei's ship crazily like sharks smelling blood, stimulated by the reward.There have long been rumors within the Qing army that the regent has already offered a reward, and those who kill or capture Li Shouhan, Li Huamei, Li Huabao and other father and son siblings alive will be named county kings!Three generations of descendants have inherited the title!The reason why this version of the rumor appeared was that Li Huamei could enjoy the same treatment as her father and younger brother as a woman, and the Qing army naturally understood, "This scarlet-winged tiger almost killed the Prince Regent! It’s not that Cao Zhenyan’s slave got lucky and broke her handsome flag with a cannonball, so it’s not necessarily who will be sitting on the dragon chair in Beijing! It’s no wonder the regent doesn’t hate her!”

Some generals of the Eight Banners who hated Dorgon, the Liangbai Banners, and the Tashan faction discussed in private, saying that Dorgon had already been frightened into inhumanity by Li Huamei in the Tashan battle that day. Otherwise, why did so many women in his mansion Why have you seen an elder brother appearing until now?Only one daughter?

"Think about it, what else makes him hate Li Huamei more than this?"

The fast crab boat rushed towards the Aomei like crazy in the wind and waves, braving the cannons continuously fired from the gun ports on the ship's side, trying to get as close to the Aomei as possible, and the oarsmen kept groaning, head The turban on his head was instantly dyed colorful with blood and brains, and he plunged into the Yangtze River.There was also a sailor who was hit by a cannon, and the cannon took half of his arm away.He held his elbows and howled on the deck of the ship, and was stabbed in the chest with a dagger by the officer accompanying the ship to save him from suffering.

Those soldiers with knives and axes in their hands measured the distance with their eyes, and weighed whether they could pick up the oil jar and throw it on the Nanban warship, fifty steps, thirty steps, okay!Wealth and honor have been sought in danger since ancient times!Seven or eight fast crab boats surrounded Li Huamei's Aomei. Dozens of sailors from the Qing army who were about to jump to the gang picked up the oil jar and threw it like a hammer, throwing the oil jar at the top of the head like a hill. Ao Mei.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Oil jars kept flying over the side of the ship and fell on the deck, breaking into pieces. The egg liquid inside was mixed with tung oil, and the viscous liquid made the deck wet and sticky.There were also quite a few oil jars that were tossed by the wind and waves, colliding and smashing on the side of the ship, tung oil splashed everywhere, and many were blown back to the Qing army ship by the wind, but people didn't care about those many, just kept the oil jars voted on.

There are also some people whose luck is really bad. The half-pounder gun on the side of the ship opened fire as soon as the oil jar in their hand was thrown out.The unloaded cannon and the oil altar met in mid-air, just like the marriage that had been cultivated for thousands of years, because of that moment, it set off thunder and fire.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, a huge spark exploded from the oil jar in the air, and the splashing fire ball ignited the inflammable materials on the surrounding ships.The sails, rigging, and those unlucky people who were splashed with tung oil screamed and tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but how could it be easy to extinguish the viscous tung oil mixed with egg liquid?

Seeing the boats under him being gradually engulfed by the flames, and people kept jumping into the water to gain a chance of survival in the raging fire and river water, Ehri gritted his molars, "Come on! Go up! Jump to the gang! Set fire! I will If you don’t believe him, Nanban’s boat is made of iron!”

Hundreds of Qing army sailors screamed and shouted, each holding short knives, crescent axes and other melee weapons, climbed the rope net, and climbed onto the ship of the Hongwu army navy.All of a sudden, Qing army ants attached themselves to the sides of the ships.

"Hit! Hit my old lady hard!"

Naturally, the first choice was the Aomei, the flagship of the Hongwu Army Fleet, which bore the brunt of it, and became the shortcut to the sky for Sun Juelu, the son of Sun Juelu, who was promoted and made a fortune in the eyes of the navy of the Qing army.One or two hundred Qing army sailors climbed on both sides of the ship, and kept throwing axes and torches on the ship, killing and wounding the Hongwu army sailors and igniting the inflammable materials on the ship.

The fat-headed fish jumped and shouted and cursed, and kept throwing grenades, and Qing army sailors on both sides of the ship were constantly hit by grenade shrapnel, and fell into the river with a scream.

There was also the fierce sailor, seeing the tight blockade and defense on the side of the ship, he climbed onto the emplacement, trying to get into the cabin from the emplacement!He was hit by several gunners with firecrackers, and the corpses were blocked on the muzzle, which could not be cleaned up for a while.The following sailors used the corpses of their comrades as stepping stones to continue climbing!

Finally, on the left side of the ship, near the stern mast, a Qing army sailor jumped up and became the first Qing army sailor to board the Aomei!He had a dagger in his mouth, a crescent hatchet pinned to his waist, and a torch in his left hand. His face was covered with water rust, and he was a water thief who was used to walking on rivers.

"Being first, at least two futures!" He was still thinking in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect at all. He swung the torch in his left hand indiscriminately to force back the Hongwu Army sailors who were trying to approach him, and held a short knife in his right hand. , just hacking and stabbing at people.Anyway, he was the only Qing army on the boat at this time, and there were enemies all around him. No matter who the knife entered, it was killing the enemy.He only needs to hold on to this position for a while, let the follow-up people board the ship, open the breakthrough, and hold the breakthrough, that is a great achievement.

However, his life is only between breaths.

A few sailors had already gathered the guns with spikes and surrounded them.Seeing that the situation was not good, the sailor of the Qing army threw the torch in his hand far away, drew out the sharp ax from his waist, and prepared to fight hand-to-hand.The leader of several sailors around him shouted loudly, and one of them advanced forward and stabbed towards him.The Qing soldier tried to pry it away with the sharp ax in his left hand, but unexpectedly, this action was just a fake move to lure the enemy. With the trigger in his hand, a puff of gray-white smoke rose, and with a loud noise, a projectile shot out of the muzzle. At such a distance, the projectile immediately penetrated his body and flew to nowhere.

At the same time, several thorns on the left and right also thrust out with all their strength, all of them piercing the Qing soldier's body, one thorn pierced under the left rib, and emerged from under the right rib.A spear pierced the face from the right side, passed through the skull, and exited above the left ear.The other two pierced his chest and abdomen.

This Qing soldier held a knife in one hand and a half-moon hatchet in the other, watched helplessly as the thorns protruded from his body, but he was helpless, he could only die powerlessly against the side of the boat, his eyes were wide open, as if he was dying, but he A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The torch he threw just now had already set fire on the boat!

Blessings are unparalleled until misfortunes never come singly.On the deck, the sailors of the Aomei battled the Qing army sailors and drove them off the ship, and at the same time put out the fire.At this moment, there was a loud noise on the side of the ship, and the entire ship was shaken.

But it turned out to be a navy sailor of the Qing army who climbed onto the side of the ship stepping on the corpse of his comrades. Relying on his thin stature, he got into a blast hole and was besieged by several gunners.Seeing that he was about to be captured alive, this guy came up with a barbaric spirit and ignited the medicine bag on the gun emplacement!

A cannon was set off by a huge shock wave, rampaging on the gun deck, smashing several other cannon positions into a mess, and blood and wood fragments flew everywhere.

Raging flames, thick smoke, explosions, fighting on the deck, these scenes that happened on the Aomei and Hongwu Army's naval fleet were all clearly seen by the Qing army's navy.For a time, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted!

The gunners on the fast crab boat braved the grenades, cannonballs, and projectiles flying from overhead from time to time, struggling to load, lift, and shoot, providing fire cover for the sword and shield soldiers who rushed to the bow, suppressing and restricting them as much as possible. The counterattack of the Hongwu army on board.

On the tugboat, the telescope in Ehri's hand was already sweating profusely.The flames and explosions all showed the fierceness of the battle, and also proved that Li Huamei is not invincible in water, and I, Daqing Water Athlete, still have the ability to fight her!Now let's see how to expand the results!

"Arson ship, speed up, jump on it! The whole army speeds up for the general!"

In fact, the entire Qing fleet saw the battle taking place on the Gaochangmiao section of the river. Such a result could be achieved by besieging with a dozen fast crab boats. With so many of our boats swarming up, can't we defeat Li Huamei? !Immediately, everyone bravely scrambled to be the first, driving the boat fast.

Seeing the thousands of ships of the Qing army going down the river, Lei Wanchun, the first officer on the bridge of the Ao Mei, looked up at the small triangular flag on the mast again. The wind direction had already turned.It is now a northwesterly wind.

"Commander! The wind has turned! The Qing army is now going smoothly!" Lei Wanchun's face was calm, as if he had expected all this.

Li Huamei could hear clearly, but she didn't speak. She just stared at the menacing Qing navy fleet that seemed to swallow her and her fleet in one go.It took a long time before he spoke: "That is to say, they are going smoothly now, and they can't go if they want to stop or turn the bow, right?!"

"Exactly!"

"Send the order! Steer the rudder! Feed the sails! Let's go to the wide area of ​​Wusongkou and wait for them! Let's let out the pickle breath today!" Li Huamei's face was full of murderous aura.

In order to eliminate the Qing army navy today, she lost all her ships.A big hole was blown out of the side of the ship, and the deck was burned to a mess.Although there is no serious problem, who would like to see all this?

According to the predetermined plan, the navy of the Hongwu Army fought against the navy of the Qing Army in the Huangpu River. After a round of fighting, they waited for the ships of the Qing Army to overwhelm and when they could not retreat, they turned their bows and went down the river to lure the Qing Army to pursue them. .Lure them out of Wusongkou, where the Huangpu River exits the sea. The sea here is wide, and the hydrological conditions are also suitable for the ships of the Hongwu Army Navy to take advantage of them. You can use the speed of the ships to fully exert the lethality of the artillery. By the way, you can also Using the rockets equipped on their own ships, they turned the arson ships of the Qing army into torches everywhere at the junction of rivers and seas.

After cleaning up the main gunboats of the Qing army, those small boats used to show off their momentum are basically a problem of not being able to catch prisoners.

Now, since the entire navy of the Qing army has rushed into this trap happily, densely packed ships have covered the narrow river.Then why bother with them?Turn around and go to our home court to wait for them!

The signal flag waved and the brass trumpets blared.With the Ao Mei as the leader, more than a dozen ships of the Hongwu Army navy turned their rudders and adjusted their sails one after another, turned their bows and raised their sails, and rushed towards the estuary of the Huangpu River with the same wind and water.

want to run? !This is the judgment of everyone in the navy of the Qing army!Where are you going? !You sunk our ship, burned our ship, killed many of us, and wanted to run away when the momentum was not good. How could it be such a cheap thing? !

Led by Ling Tengyun, commanding the remaining fast crab boats as the vanguard, followed by the gunboat fleet led by Ehri, followed by hundreds of fast-moving sand boats, and behind them were eaters. The water is deep, hundreds of sand boats are slow, and more tank boats, fishing boats, and passenger boats are at the tail of the fleet.

From the section of Gaochangmiao River to the east, not far away is Yinxiang Port, and on the other side of the river is Gaoqiao in Pudong.A little forward, you will leave the river section of Shanghai County and enter the boundary of Baoshan.After driving for a while at the boundary of Baoshan, after passing the old stork's mouth, it is not far from Wusongkou.

Li Huamei, who is familiar with the topography and features of the area, knew that after passing this stone pier, she would not be far from Wusongkou.

According to the records in the third volume of "Jiangnan Jinglue" "Wusongkou Warship Discussion", "The coastal area of ​​Jiading has a total of 35 miles, and the Wusong River Estuary is a moderate place!" That is to say, there are [-] miles of coastline on both sides of the Wusong River.Of course, it's gone now.With the diversion of the Yangtze River estuary, the scouring effect of the river water has turned a large area of ​​land into a vast ocean.

After passing the old stork's mouth, it is only more than 20 miles to reach Wusongkou. The fleet in the middle of the river can reach Haikou in just a cup of tea if the wind is smooth.

"Order the whole army! Get ready for battle, and let's fight after we go to sea!"

From her command position, Li Huamei looked at the trees, villages, and farmlands flying backwards on both sides of the Huangpu River, full of energy.After this battle, this picturesque Jiangnan has left the imprint of her Li family ever since.No matter if it's Zhu, Tongyi or Aixinjueluo, don't even think about taking it away from her Li family!

The fleet rushed down the river like a galloping horse. The sailors and gunners were busy rectifying their weapons and clearing the gun positions. Boxes of rockets were moved from the bottom cabin to the deck for installation and debugging.Bags of gunpowder and boxes of shells were lined up near the artillery positions. People were ready to welcome the Qing fleet that was chasing after them with shells and rockets.

"Alin!" Ehri vaguely felt something strange on his tug boat, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.Then he called Alin, the leader of his own pack soldiers.

"Do you think the Nanmanzi was defeated and fled, or was it a fraud?"

"Master! Logically speaking, with Miss Li's temperament, if she can still fight, she will definitely fight to the end. But you see, we all saw that the boat was set on fire by us, and the gun emplacement was blown up again. Look, her ship is still smoking! It is clear that the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the morale of the army is in chaos!"

Ehri nodded at what his slave said, in fact, this was also what he thought in his heart.However, this reason could not convince him.

"There is a saying in the art of war. Don't chase after the poor, and don't cover up when you return to the teacher. If you continue to chase like this, beware of fraud."

Ehri intends to order the brigade to stop chasing, but the current Qing army fleet cannot do this!The fast crab fleet in the vanguard chased after them like crazy, while the gunboat fleet in the back was afraid that they would be left behind, and each department was full of sails and rushed all the way.

"Master, I'm afraid the whole army can't hold back at this time! The river is narrow, and there are many shoals and hidden reefs. We can only wait until we get out of the sea, where it is wide, and then find a way to slowly form the team." Alin looked at his home. The fast crab fleet has followed Li Huamei's fleet out of the sea, and he sighed helplessly.

The large fleet rushed out of Haikou, from the narrow river to the vast sea, watching the sea and sky meet, one can't help but feel refreshed.

"Boom! Boom!"

Intensive gunfire sounded on the sea, and rockets fell from overhead.

Li Huamei's fleet turned its bow and rushed over from the left and right wings, blocking the Qing army's fleet at the mouth of the sea!
