Lin Yuan carefully designed the time, so when the Russian fleet sailed into the ambush circle, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. At this time, the river was already pitch black. The waters miles away were as bright as day.

Yu Ming looked at the Russian ship and sneered inwardly: "It's a good thing you turned on the lights, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see you." Yu Ming ordered: "Go to the last ship first!"

The Russian army sent twenty transport ships, fifteen transporting personnel, five transporting equipment, and two gunboats, one in front of the other, escorting the twenty transport ships, and the last one happened to be the gunboat.

Yu Ming brought twenty cannons, one at a distance of 100 meters, exactly the distance between the Russian military ships. These cannons are not only 200 meters away from the river. Direct aiming at this distance is enough. With the gauge, the Russian gunboat was put into the front sight, and then the artillery was fired.

The muzzle fire flashed, and a shell rushed out of the muzzle roaring. This shell was not a tracer shell, so it quickly disappeared into the night. The bomber standing aside hurriedly took a soaked quilt He rushed forward and covered the muzzle with a quilt, and the smoke suddenly became much smaller.

The gunner didn't have time to watch the action of the gunner, he looked anxiously into the distance, looking for the point of impact, and soon a spark rose on the bow of the Russian gunboat, and the shell went into the bow, and the shell was loaded with a delay. The fuze exploded inside the hull. The Russian gunboat had a steel frame and a wooden outer panel. The violent explosion broke the center longitudinal keel.

Although the Russian soldiers on board knew that they had been shot, they didn't know where the shell came from. Because the bomber covered the gun port with a quilt, the smoke from the gun port was not obvious, and the gunboat hurriedly turned the gun. However, in the dark night, where should we shoot, the gunner had to find a direction and fired indiscriminately.

Seeing that he had hit the target, the gunner silently called out "OK" in his heart, and then glanced at the point where the Russian shells fell, which was far away from him. He ignored the Russian guns, and opened the breech breech, The smoking cartridge fell out, and the bomber loaded another shell, and then another, and this shell hit the stern, and just happened to blow off the rudder post, but the Russian gunboat installed it. It was a hanging rudder. Once the rudder post was broken, the rudder fell directly into the river without a trace. For a ship, the rudder is not only a tool for steering, but also a tool for stabilizing the course. Without the rudder, the gunboat suddenly turned on the river. If you circle around, even if you see the target, you can't fire.

The sound of the first cannon was the signal. Immediately afterwards, other cannons on the riverside fired together. The shells smashed towards the transport ship in the dark. The transport ships were all refitted passenger ships. Every corner was stuffed with people. When the shells came, they exploded in the crowd. The Russian soldiers suffered heavy casualties. There were also transport ships loaded with equipment, which were loaded with a large amount of explosives and shells. Several shells came down, Just detonated them, Lin Yuan originally thought that the Russian ships would flee forward, but he didn't expect that none of them stepped up and ran forward, but turned around and ran back one after another. What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that in the end, The commander of the Russian gunboat in front thought this way: if you go forward, you must still be encircled. run.

The turning radius of a heavy transport ship is much larger than that of a light gunboat. Therefore, when the gunboat turned its head, the transport ship was still moving forward and hit the gunboat's side. The steel frame was covered with wooden boards, and the steel frame was broken at this moment. The wooden boards shattered into pieces, and the river water rushed into the hull of the boat, and the shells in the gunboat "plopped" into the river like dumplings. , the gunboat soon sank.

The firing rate of the artillery on the shore was not fast, so ten ships turned around and sailed back. Yu Ming secretly smiled in his heart: "Can you run away?" Sure enough, the transport ship running in the front hit the iron chain The iron chain immediately blocked the ship. Originally, when the Russian army was sailing, every two ships were separated by 100 meters. This distance could prevent accidental collisions. However, the panicked Russian transport ships wanted to escape the encirclement quickly. No one cared about the distance of the boats. As soon as the boat in front hit the iron chain, the boat behind made a "bang", and the two boats collided firmly.

The boat behind hurriedly reversed and wanted to go backwards, but the steel frame was twisted and entangled after being deformed by the collision, and they were inseparable. The Russian army then yelled at each other, and Yu Ming on the shore could clearly hear their yelling.

The surviving Russian transport ships were all piled up beside the iron chain, and Yu Ming commanded the cannon to name them one by one. At dawn, 22 Russian military ships sank to the bottom of the river...

For the Russian army, this was just the beginning of the disaster, because another support army of theirs was also ambushed.

After Lin Yuan gave Liu Hui and Yu Ming orders, he asked Fade Chen to lead 2000 troops to set up an ambush in the Pingdingshan area.

The Russian army was not prepared for this, because they did not believe that they would be ambushed. In this era without aerial reconnaissance and satellites, if an army is ambushed by others, there is only one possibility. There are spies inside, because the troops The marching route of the army is kept secret, and the route is revealed to the enemy, who else is not a spy.

However, Lin Yuan has advanced aerial reconnaissance forces in his hands. He originally thought that the Russian army would take the main road, and in that case there would be no way to ambush, but he did not expect that the Russian army would choose to march from the mountains near Pingdingshan, and it was still a valley. It is impossible for Lin Yuan to miss the fighter opportunity.

Passing through the valley can save a long distance. This is the main reason why the Russian army chose to march from here. Grodjeko's wishful thinking is this. Lin Yuan's force is only about 5000, and there are more than [-] in Sanxing City. The Russian army, the Russian army of these two brigades combined has nearly [-] people. In this way, it has formed a superior force against Lin Yuan, and it will definitely wipe out Lin Yuan under the city of Sanxing.

Fade Chen led more than 2000 people and deployed them on both sides of the valley. Everyone was disguised with grass leaves, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Russian army.

Finally, I heard the footsteps of the Russian army. There were nearly ten thousand Russian troops. The infantry was in front, the luggage was in the center, and the cavalry was behind. They were walking towards the valley. , I had to slow down and walk carefully, and I would fall if I didn't pay attention.

At this moment, there was a "crack" thunder in the sky, and big raindrops fell. Fade Chen felt happy. It was raining. The Russian army only wanted to pass through the valley as soon as possible, so they would definitely relax their guard.

I saw the Russian soldiers below took out their raincoats from their backpacks and put them on in a hurry. After seeing it, Fade Chen thought in his heart: "This is better, the raincoats are very large, especially in the The hat on the clothes, after wearing it, blocked the sight to both sides!"

Fade Chen watched the Russian soldiers walk into the ambush circle, but suddenly cried out in his heart: "No, because of the heavy rain, something big might happen."
