Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

187. Battle of Wanquan River

After receiving He Fu's order, the Baisha guard was of course unwilling.Speaking of which, Baisha Water Village is affiliated to the Guangdong Navy, and even the admiral of the Lu Division in this province cannot be mobilized, let alone He Fu from Guangxi.But now behind He Fu are Zhao Shilin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the officials of the province. Even the recovery of Quanqiong is a major concern of Kangxi, so Baisha, who knows the consequences of resisting the military order, finally sent troops.It's just that there were only a thousand people in Baisha Water Village, six large boats, twelve small boats, and long dragons, so it is impossible for all of them to go south.After some calculations, finally a total of 600 people including four big canton boats and eight long dragons rushed to the front line.

When the Guangdong navy arrived at the front line, they heard that the main force of Zheng Jun's navy was not there, and those left behind were only eight-oared boats. Spring Estuary.Since the Zheng army had only a few unarmed small transport ships at the mouth of the river, it was indeed no match for the Qing army.

The Qing army rampaged all the way, not only destroying two Zheng Jun barges, but also shelling and burning the rear trestle bridge behind the Zheng Jun Tianzihao bastion in the east, causing considerable losses to Zheng Jun. Fortunately, the Qing army did not know the depth of the river, so they dared not cross In-depth, so the two bastions of Dizihao and Xuanzihao were not attacked.

Seeing the victory in the first battle, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. The next day, the whole division rushed into the Wanquan River to torture. Liang drove the Hongyi artillery team to attack in a circle, covering Qiongzhou Xiangyong's attack, with the posture of attacking at all costs.

At this time, the four eight-oared boats of the Zheng Army that had returned from the upstream in an emergency last night bravely greeted them. As soon as they saw the attacking Zheng Jun, the Qing army warships that were planning to bombard a fort wall along the river at the Tianzihao bastion immediately The interest was diverted, the eight long dragons took the lead, and the four Guangzhou boats pulled out their anchors and turned around.

There were several muffled crashing sounds, and under the impact of the eight-oared boat advancing at high speed, at least two long dragons of the Qing army were overturned, and one of them was even cut in half.Just as the Qing army on these long dragons was struggling in the water, the other long dragons surrounded the eight oar boat tightly.

The Qing army with knives and bows was about to join the board and jump to gangs, when suddenly puffs of gunpowder smoke rose from the eight-oared boats. At very close range, the powerful deer blunderbuss even double-clicked with one bullet, causing considerable confusion to the Qing army.

Taking advantage of the temporary chaos of the Qing army, the oarsmen of the Zheng army used their long oars to drive away the long dragon of the Qing army, and rowed in the opposite direction, trying to escape from the encirclement of the Qing army. Three of the eight-oared boats broke out smoothly, but the remaining One of them was obviously unable to escape because of the sudden front.Watching the besieged comrades fall into the siege of the Qing army, the three eight-oared boats of the Zheng army rowed towards the safe waters behind, and then accelerated in reverse to prepare to hit the long dragon again to help Paize break through.But I never thought that at this moment, the bow guns on the Daguang ship of the Qing army came over. Although none of them hit, the water column aroused finally forced Zheng Jun on the three eight-oared boats to go south to Samet after reluctantly abandoning his companions. Flee quickly in the direction of the inland sea.

Since the long dragon was besieging the heroic eight-oared boat, the four Guangzhou boats went around the battle zone and chased after the fleeing Zheng Jun.Although the eight-oared boat sprinted very quickly in a short distance, it could not last for a long time relying on manpower. Therefore, under the pursuit of the Guangchuan, which was full of wind, the distance between the two sides was still getting closer.

The Qing army continued to shell while chasing, and one of them directly hit an eight-oared boat as if with the help of a god. I saw that the broken wooden pulp and human limbs on the boat were flying in the air, and then berthed. The moored river surged up from the bottom of the boat, and only a very small number of Zheng Jun who was unharmed could jump into the water and escape.

Seeing the effect of their own shelling, the Qing army on the Guangzhou Ship became more and more rampant, and the guns fought desperately for no money. Fortunately, the hit just now was only a flash in the pan, otherwise it is still doubtful whether Zheng Jun could escape.But even if the shelling failed, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, the two big boats in front stopped moving, and a jaw-dropping friction sounded, and the third boat didn't stop moving forward, and then ran aground on the shallow bottom of the Samet Inner Sea. On the bed, only the fourth one saw that the situation was not good and turned the rudder hastily, which managed to escape the catastrophe.

Just as the Qing army on the last Guangzhou boat was secretly rejoicing, the two eight-oared boats came back again.Now, Zheng Jun is no longer a coward who fled, and they opened their mouths ferociously and began to seek revenge.Seeing Zheng Jun's murderous comeback, the Qing army on the last Canton boat panicked, turned around and ran away regardless of the fact that there were more people on board.The sails on the Qing army ship were naturally out of reach for the eight-oared boat, but weren't there still three unlucky ones waiting to be dealt with?So Zheng Jun turned again to take advantage of the cover of the Qing army's own hull and the shortcomings that the bow guns were not suitable for moving, and called them one by one. Hate became the result of Zheng Jun's victory.

Changlong of the Qing army, who had just besieged the Zheng army's eight-oared boat, was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but saw his own Guangzhou boat fleeing back alone. He was in doubt and uneasy, but he saw black smoke rising one after another in the distance, and he dared not investigate. They seized the eight-oared boat and fled Haikou together with the Guangzhou boat.

In the battle, Zheng Jun destroyed the Daguang Ship No. [-] and Changlong No. [-] of the Qing Army at the cost of two eight-oared boats, and captured more than [-] people from the Qing Army. He himself suffered more than [-] casualties. An eight-oared boat, but they understood Zheng Jun's bravery and never dared to go deep into the Wanquan River again, so the two sides formed a confrontation near Haikou.

The defeat of the navy also put an end to Ding Shengliang's offensive, leaving behind nearly [-] corpses again, he had to calm down and wait for He Fu's roundabout army to arrive.On this day, in addition to Ding Shengliang, Ma Qixun also prepared a tentative attack, and lost more than [-] people in the end. Only Zhalanzhangjing Shumulukeqi who stood still did not suffer any casualties.

Under the cover of days of shelling and harassment by the Qing army on the eastern front, [-] Qing troops crossed the Wanquan River one after another from the Danxi section of the upper reaches of Lecheng Island. As for the actions of the Qing army, Zheng Jun had actually followed the flow of the upper reaches. Logs, bamboo poles and other objects have been judged, but Zheng Jun's navy is seriously insufficient, so he only sent people to monitor but did not come forward to intercept.

"Kill!" Xin Zhongguo (recommended by You Weiweifeng) led his sentry team and rushed down from the mountainside, and killed with the Qing army scout team who were still in chaos after being shot, saying yes Halfway up the mountain, in fact, the line between Mailing and Shapo is a small hill of 20 meters. Under this kind of terrain, the battle situation can basically be determined with mental calculation or carelessness.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the last wounded soldier of the Qing army fell under Zheng Jun's knife, and this short battle was declared over, but Xin Zhongguo was not at all happy about the result of completely annihilating the enemy.

"These Xiangzhong green battalions are quite ruthless. They have beaten to the last one, and if they don't surrender, the third child who killed them will die in vain."

"Who says it's not?" Zheng Jun beside him sighed while cutting off the head of the Qing army. "The higher-ups want us to catch a few alive and go back, so it's a waste of effort."

"Are you finished?" Xin Zhongguo glanced at the two veterans who were talking. "After finishing speaking, quickly send the wounded soldiers and these armors, belts, and heads back to the camp. The rest will continue to set up ambushes with me. The Tartars will never be afraid of a horse scouting team coming out. We still have a chance." Xin Zhongguo agitated. "If you let the other team finish first, you must know that I am not the only one who loses face"

Xin Zhongguo is still looking for opportunities, but the news that the scouting team has been extensively ambushed has also reached He Fu's ears. Regarding this situation, although He Fu, who is resourceful but not decisive, has predicted it, he did not expect it to be so serious , and hesitated for a while.But still the same sentence, if he returns without success, he may not end well. Therefore, He Fu, who had thought about it a lot, still crushed him all the way because of his large number of troops.

On the eighth day of February, the Qing Army Brigade left the crossing point and traveled eastward all the way, then crossed Mailing and Shapo on the same day, and set up camp on the line of Junzipo and Wenshan.As the Qing army traveled all the way east, the once active Zheng Jun sentries disappeared one after another, but this was not good news for the Qing army, on the contrary it heralded the imminent war.

On the ninth day of February, the Qing army crossed Nanpailing and stationed in Xiakanling and Beishan villages, and confronted the main forces of the Zheng army stationed in Jinling and Lingtou. They went straight to Danxi, and under the desperate blocking of the remaining Qing troops, they burned down the rafts and bamboo rafts of the Qing troops crossing the river.

"It has been found that Zheng Jun's banner is Zuohuwei, Youhuwei, Zuoyongwei, Youyongwei, Zuolongxiang and other ministries." Due to the reduction of Zheng Jun's detection posts, it was easy for the Qing army to approach and observe Zheng Jun's banner on Dazhai. "According to the formation of the Zheng Army reported by Fujian Province, the first division of the Zheng Army has [-] prefects, so our army has at least [-] enemies in front of us."

"Impossible!" Before He Fu could speak, a lieutenant beside him suddenly shouted. "Hai Ni is at most tens of thousands, and how come so many troops, it must be Hai Ni's bluff."

The words of the deputy general echoed in the tent, but He Fu's face was still very ugly, but even if He Fu regretted it very much at the moment, he was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had no choice but to take the opportunity to encourage his subordinates: "Regardless of whether the sea is inverse or not. There are [-] people, if the officers and soldiers can wipe out San Francisco, can't they deal with them?"

The answer to He Fu was naturally the so-called united will, so He Fu followed the trend and ordered: "The three armies will have a full meal, and Yin Chu will go out tomorrow, and we will wipe out the sea in one fell swoop!"

However, when the generals left the camp, He Fu slumped down on the chair: "It's over, I'm still fooled."
