The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 129

At this time, the situation in the water village has improved a lot. As soon as Jiang Tao woke up, he changed his tactics.

Ling Jiang Yan boarded the gun boat with soldiers who could fire cannons, and most of the cannons on the shore had returned to normal. Under the close-range direct fire of more than 150 cannons, the Qing army navy could no longer stand it, and decisively withdrawn.

The admiral of the navy was furious, beheaded and killed the former general of the army, and ordered his subordinates to continue to attack, and must take back the gunboats. These gunboats are treasures in their hands, and they must not be lost.

But the green battalion soldiers are not idiots, they are all coping listlessly, who dares to charge against the shells?

After this relaxation, Jiang Tao almost couldn't stand still. More than half of the Black Tiger Guards and Biaohan Guards had been killed or injured, and they were all exhausted. He hurriedly ordered recruits to replace them.

Looking at the water village full of dead people, Jiang Tao was really heartbroken.

However, if the Black Tiger Army survives this hurdle, it will be reborn from blood. He didn't care to wipe the blood on his face, so he went ashore leisurely. The young army is busy, or cleaning the barrel, or filling the shell, or filling the gunpowder...

Also, in the Black Tiger Army, the Junior Army is a professional student soldier. Anyone over the age of 12 has learned to operate artillery. Fortunately, they have them, otherwise they would not be able to fire artillery shells.

Jiang Tao was very relieved to see that all of them had firm expressions and good looks. Battle formations are the best way to train people. Well, all the people are soldiers. Let's see who can't hold on first!But the price is too high.

......................
The battle at Shuizhai was vigorous and vigorous, how could Wei Donglai not know?But the river course was occupied by the navy of the Qing army, so he could only stand on the sidelines. He would not let his subordinates die if they did not play a role. Thinking about it again, there must be a way.

Seeing that the Qing army's navy was in a hurry to attack the water village, he felt impatient. After thinking hard for a while, he finally came up with a method, but it was very dangerous, and it was still unknown whether it would succeed.

In fact, now that the Qing army's sailors are all gathered together, they can completely block their way out with fire boats. Unfortunately, there are very few ships in Jinzhai County, and it is too late to build them on site.

That can only find another way out.

With the combat power and troops of the Black Tiger Army, Wei Donglai knew that it would not be a problem to support the base for several hours, so he simply ordered his subordinates not to move rashly, lest the Qing army come to get in the way.

He also ordered his subordinates to make every effort to build large wooden rafts and wooden shields. These wooden rafts are about [-] meters long and [-] meters wide. Row a little longer.

Jinzhai County has a lot of this kind of [-]-meter-long trees. With the full efforts of the army and civilians in the county, [-] of them were made in two hours. Such wooden rafts are not only strong but also heavy, and they can completely withstand them. The collision of the big ship.

Seeing that the water in that section of the river had turned light red, Wei Donglai didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly ordered Jiang Wushang to select the elite and set off immediately.

There are 50 people in a wooden raft, all carrying weapons, 20 people holding large wooden shields, 20 people supporting the wooden raft, and the others holding lighted torches, and other fire objects are also prepared on the wooden raft.

Thirty more wooden shields were prepared for the ten or so wooden platoons in front.

It was already afternoon at this time, under the leadership of Jiang Wushang, sixty huge wooden rafts directly occupied the river, and slowly rowed towards the navy of the Qing army, preparing to close their doors and beat the dogs.

Wei Donglai on the shore was overjoyed to see this, and hurriedly ordered the archers under his command to fire rockets at the Qing army navy with all their strength. At this time, the pressure on the base could finally be relieved.

.....................

The admiral of the navy was already red-eyed at this time. Although there were more than [-] large ships beside him, there were only more than [-] green battalion soldiers left, and the rest were fighting on the front line.

He knew that the soldiers and horses were exhausted, but he couldn't take care of these things. He always thought in his heart: Maybe if a few hundred people rush up, the bandit army will be unable to hold back, and the victory or defeat is often in an instant.

However, the men and horses kept rushing forward, but the news of victory was delayed. Instead, there were many thieves making trouble on the other side.

He no longer has the energy to take care of the bandit army on the other side, so he can only keep his warships as far away from the other side as possible. Seeing that the frontline men are really shameless, he has no choice but to recall the broken fleet. Take a break.

At this moment, someone came to report: "Thousands of bandits came from behind on wooden rafts."

The admiral of the navy was so frightened that he almost drew his knife and killed himself. He slowly recalled the word "wooden raft" and kicked the messenger over with his kick. With red eyes, he shouted: "Idiot, Vice Admiral Chen will lead ten ships to fight quickly!" Boat, send them into the water to feed the fish!"

"Zha!" Deputy General Chen was overjoyed, and hurried to face the battle. It's too dull here, so he can finally go out and relax.

Deputy General Chen looked at the approaching raft, sneered in his heart, and ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows.

However, the Black Tiger Army on the wooden raft had been prepared for a long time, each of them propped up their wooden shields, and the rain of arrows shot down, but very few people were injured, but the speed of the wooden raft also slowed down.

Seeing this, Deputy General Chen frowned, slapped his head violently, and ordered: "Kill these bandits into the bottom of the river!"

The ten big ships immediately raised their sails and slammed directly into the wooden raft. The Wei army division had already figured this out. The big ship that was hitting it.

dong dong dong...

Click, click...

Sure enough, the raft was not knocked over, it just bumped back and forth for a long time, and finally floated backwards. The outer shell of the warship was damaged instead, and the warship was also knocked back tens of meters. Although the interior compartments of these ships were flooded, there was no serious problem, but the speed dropped a lot.

Deputy General Chen couldn't believe it, what kind of wooden raft is this?
He no longer dared to collide with the bandit army, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows.

Whoosh whoosh.....
The boundless rain of arrows fell again and again, but the casualties of the bandit army were not many. After a while, there were not many arrows on the Qing army's warships, but the wooden shields and wooden rafts of the Black Tiger army were covered with blood. arrows.

Deputy General Chen turned pale with fright, and hurriedly called out the bed crossbows and trebuchets on the warship. The Black Tiger Army suffered a lot of casualties, but these sharp weapons were nothing after all, and their rate of fire was extremely slow, so they couldn't scare the Black Tiger Army back at all.

But the wooden raft was slowly approaching, and the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army realized that the torches had been extinguished, and the torches were gone. Fortunately, the wooden rafts behind them also rowed over. With reinforcements from the rear, these things would not be a problem. .

The rain of arrows became thinner, and countless soldiers of the Black Tiger Army came out together, throwing the pottery pots filled with kerosene onto the big ship. Countless pottery pottery kerosene fell directly on the deck and shattered on the spot. Fire oil immediately splashed everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, countless torches were thrown up, and the soldiers on the ship all woke up with a start, no longer caring about shooting arrows, and tried their best to block the speeding torches, but there were still many torches that slipped through the net and fell on the ship.

With the help of kerosene, the fire immediately engulfed all the green soldiers on the deck, and then the whole ship caught fire!Countless Green Battalion soldiers who were on fire rushed into the big river screaming, and sank to the bottom after a while.

In this way, Deputy General Chen died with the warship, and the remaining two warships turned their bows in fright and fled towards the water village.

Jiang Wushang didn't even look at the eight warships that were crackling and burning, and ordered the wooden rafts in the front row to replenish supplies, pass through the cracks between the fireships, and paddle unhurriedly. The target was the water left by the Qing army. division!

Wei Donglai looked at the smoldering fireboat, and finally settled down in his heart. It's done. It's not like beating a dog behind closed doors, it's like beating a unicorn behind closed doors. As long as you can annihilate the navy of the Qing army, no matter how much you pay, it's worth it .
