Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 452: Catching Shi Lang Alive
Lin Yi's naval battleship formation stagnated on the river for more than two hours, and then continued to move forward.

More than 100 warships, escorted by Yangwei, accompanied by 1 sailors, are like a giant dragon in the Yangtze River, galloping forward.

These more than 100 battleships are advancing at full speed with full horsepower, and they are going down the current, and the speed can reach 30 yards per hour, which is faster than galloping war horses.

60 miles per hour, in the eyes of later generations, this speed is a bit cumbersome and ridiculous, but in the era of cold weapons three or four hundred years ago.Without socialized mass production and without machines, its speed is no less shocking than the advent of high-speed rail.

Through the observation cabin on Yangwei, Lin Yi saw the mountains, rocks, flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the river rushing towards the back.Not only did I think of Li Bai's poem, "Among the colorful clouds of Emperor Baidi's speech, a thousand miles of rivers and tombs will return in one day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

At this time, Shi Lang's navy, who was ten miles away, had noticed them.

The telescope implemented by him never left this battleship formation at all.

In particular, Shi Lang dispatched more than 2 sailors for the second time to prevent the Ming army from destroying his protective net against the river underwater.Shi Lang's telescope has been paying attention to Lin Yi's battleship formation and the movements in the Yangtze River waters.

Now the battle on the bank of the river has started, and there is news from Jiangyin.Tens of thousands of Ming troops are attacking Jiangyin County. His deputy Zheng Cai relies on the strong fortifications and several fortresses outside the city to serve as horns for each other, defending instead of attacking.The Ming army attacked the wounded soldiers and generals several times, but Jiangyin City and the fortresses were safe and sound.

Shi Lang was very happy when he heard this, and sent another order to Jiangyin's defender Zheng Cai, ordering him to stick to the city and fortress and not to go out to fight.

The Ming army can be blocked on the shore, and Lin Yi's naval battleship formation on the river cannot pass, so they can continue to consume like this.Just like Yan Yingyuan fought a war of attrition with him in Zhenjiang, he is now going to consume the Ming army.

In Zhenjiang, they spent more than a year. Now that Shi Lang didn't expect much, if he could spend half a year, His Majesty King Zheng's reinforcements would definitely arrive, and then they would fight to the death with the Ming army. .

Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only fortify our walls, use defense as an offense, spend time with Ji Dong, and wait for the best time.This is Shi Lang's strategy.

But at this moment, more than 1000 sailors he sent back were defeated, and only less than 300 people came back including the injured.

Looking at the more than 200 people, they were in a state of embarrassment, grinning from injuries.All of them were full of frustration, as if they were mourning.

Shi Lang was stunned, why did he come back so quickly after being defeated, and still in such a mess, Shi Lang expected them to protect the protective net to block the river?

I can't help asking how they were defeated. These people still have lingering fears when they talked about the thrilling underwater fight just now.But when they said that more than 1000 of them were defeated by hundreds of women, even Shi Lang felt ashamed.

"Where did the surname Lin get such a group of women? They are really powerful. It seems that their reputation is well-deserved. No, we must send more soldiers!"

Thinking of this, Shi Lang immediately picked another 3000 sailors, ready to go into the water and deal with Ji Dong's women's battalion. The 3000 people took off their armor, put on sailor uniforms, and took their water-splitting knives to go into the water.

But before the 3000 sailors entered the water, Shi Lang saw the Daming navy fleet approaching through the binoculars.

"Could it be the protective net that blocks the river..." Shi Lang frowned, and immediately thought of a serious problem.Then he shook his head, can't it, such a short time, so strong pillars and iron chains?
"Even if they destroyed the protective net blocking the river, there are still several forts and dozens of red-clothed cannons that can still block the narrow river. It's wishful thinking for them to rush through here!"

When Shi Lang thought of this, he immediately ordered his navy fleet to set off. One or two hundred warships carrying more than 1 sailors immediately went upstream.

Shi Langming knew that the more than 1 sailors couldn't stand up to Lin Yi's navy fleet, and they couldn't stand up to just one Yangwei. This has been proven.

But if the naval fleet of the Ming army is attacked by artillery fire on the shore and falls into chaos, they can still annihilate the Ming army by rushing up. Now he has to put all his eggs in one basket, so the only thing he can fight at this time is the This card is up.

Lin Yi's fleet of warships competed with each other, and soon entered the firing range of the Southern Army's artillery on the shore.The general on the fort gave an order, and the artilleryman in charge of lighting the fire touched the fuse with the torch in his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The red-clothed cannon on the river bank roared angrily, spewing shells out of the barrel and flying towards the formation of the Ming Dynasty in the river.However, due to the very fast speed of this fleet, such a fast-moving target is completely different from the stationary warship, so many shells fell into the river, and the water column stirred up on the river surface was several meters high, one after another.

However, some shells still fell on some warships and exploded, and some hulls caught fire.Some of the generals on the ship were blown down on the deck, some flew into the air and then fell into the water, and some were blown to nothing on the spot.

But the firing of the fort on the shore has already exposed the target, because Lin Yi has not given an order for a long time, including the Yang Wei, they have already pointed the muzzle of the red cannon on the shore during the fast driving process, and found that The target was slightly adjusted, so as soon as the cannons on the shore fired, the red cannons and the Qianjin Flang machine of the Ming army battleship formation aimed at the forts on the shore and fought back violently.

At that time, the red-clothed cannon on Yangwei had the longest range, and the explosive power of the shells was also the greatest.

And there is only one Yangwei, with 70 various artillery pieces on it, including 10 red-clothed cannons and 60 golden Flang machines, plus the artillery of the warships escorted by Yangwei, so the number of this battleship formation is calculated. There were one or two thousand artillery pieces of various kinds, and they rushed forward with all their strength, while quickly returning fire to the fort on the shore.

Such a round of shelling consisted of thousands of shells, and the shells were as dense as rain, flying from the middle of the river to the river bank. The soldiers and cannons of the Southern Army on these forts were out of luck.

There is a fort with more than a dozen red-clothed cannons, all of which only fired one shot.The shells and explosives of the second artillery had not been loaded yet, and the shells flying all over the sky from the river were deafening.It accurately fell into their fort and blossomed everywhere.

Forts were blown down, some cannons were blown up, and soldiers were blown up to the sky.

There is also a southern army fort. The dozen or so cannons in red clothes didn't even fire a single shot because they were aiming.Of course, they wanted to aim at the Yangwei, because they knew that bombarding other ships would not work. Only by blowing up the Yangwei could the battle be won.But Yang Wei's speed was too fast. Before they could take aim, shells flew over like a cannonball.
As a result, the soldiers of the Confederate Army on this fort, together with their cannons, were blown up into the sky, causing casualties and blood to flow everywhere.

The Yangwei battleship formation, the artillery on each battleship, on average, only fired once per cannon, and it has already rushed over ten miles away. The forts of the red cannons were all destroyed.

Shi Lang, standing on the ship, could see this scene clearly without binoculars, because they were going upstream.The Yangwei fleet of the Ming army was going down the river, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

Seeing Shi Lang's astonished face here, his heart sank a bit. The underwater protective net did not work at all, which meant that it had been destroyed by the Ming army.

But there are also dozens of red cannons in the several forts on the shore, and their firepower can completely block the river.But it was destroyed in the blink of an eye. His more than 1 navy and more than 100 ship formations alone are definitely not the opponents of the Ming army's navy.

But now there is no way out, because the two sides have already encountered each other.

Shi Lang also went all out, he gritted his teeth and fought to the death today, he must not back down!

"fire!"

Before Shi Lang finished his sentence, the guns of the Ming warship fired first.The red cannon on the Yangwei has the longest range. When Shi Lang ordered his fleet to fire, Ji Dong had already ordered it one step ahead of him.

The shells that flew over in the first round had the most powerful explosion and the longest range. Several shells exploded in the formation of the Southern Army's ships.

There was a warship of the Confederate Army, which was bombed by a shell on the port side. There was a loud bang, and the ship was turned upside down. More than 200 Confederate soldiers on board were all scattered in the river. After being pushed under the boat, the river was immediately bustling with people.

Another cannon flew in the air and landed on the center of a ship of the Southern Army. With a bang, the Southern Army on it flew into the sky amidst thick smoke and fireballs, and then fell into the sea again.Together with them, there are incomplete ship planks.

Two more shells hit a warship of the Southern Army at the same time. With two loud bangs, the warship disintegrated on the spot, caught fire, and fell to pieces. Together with the hundreds of soldiers on board, it would sink into the river.

The warship that Shi Lang was on was also attacked by artillery fire. He was shot in the buttocks, the rudder was blown up, the rear cabin was flooded, the buttocks sank, and the bow of the ship turned up.

Shi Lang's personal guards protected him and moved quickly.

In this way, Yang Wei's first round of ten shells sank five warships of the Southern Army.

After Shi Lang switched ships, his fleet also opened fire.Lin Yi's fleet also opened fire, and the artillery fire from both sides roared.Cannonballs shuttled through the sky, and the roar of artillery was like rolling thunder, shaking the ground.

However, this scene of the two sides' artillery bombardment did not last for a few minutes. Because of the disparity in firepower, more than 100 warships of the Southern Army had been paralyzed.The fire of the fire, the shipwreck of the wreck, the disintegration of the disintegration.

The river was full of soldiers of the Southern Army, and the soldiers of the Southern Army on the battleship were too busy to take care of themselves. Some threw the fire on the ship, and some threw themselves on the fire. They were in a mess, and the artillery on the ship became dumb.

The southern army fell into chaos and was soon surrounded by Lin Yi's fleet of ships rushing over.

"Listen, Master Jian Guo has the virtue of loving life, and those who surrender will not die! Those who resist in the corner, send all yours to the bottom of the river to feed the sharks!"

Thousands of muskets on the battleships of the Ming army aimed at the chaotic southern army in the middle of the river and shouted at them.At this time, there is no need for artillery. Within 200 meters, it is time for the self-generated flintlock to show off.

"Swear to the death and fight against them! It's time to serve His Majesty King Zheng!"

Shi Lang raised his arms and shouted, and the soldiers under him also shouted, they had bows and arrows and muskets in their hands, and they planned to fight the Ming army with their lives.

"The thief general in the silver armor and red robe on the leftmost enemy ship is Shi Lang, who is bowing his back and hanging his sword." Chen Mingyu, who was beside Lin Yi, pointed out.

"Oh?" Lin Yi took a look, and sure enough, this Shi Lang was very different in appearance, with a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, big piercing eyes, and a burly figure. Coupled with this armor suit, he was very majestic.

"This person wants to live, and the rest will be killed if they don't surrender." Lin Yi said, and Chen Mingyu walked out of the cabin and stood on the bow of the giant ship. Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and others The soldiers of the female battalion also appeared on the bow of the ship along with Ji Dong, and the distance between the two sides was already very close.

"Clap clap clap..."

The musketeers of the Ming army pulled the trigger when they got the order, and there was a fierce gunshot. The guards around Shi Lang were shot and fell to the deck one after another, and many of them rolled into the river.

And these bullets seemed to have eyes, and none of them hit Shi Lang.

Shi Lang completely ignored these things, and now he is also dizzy.With the determination to die, he took down the bow and arrow, and the wolf tooth arrow was buckled and added to the string. With a creak, the big bow in his hand was rounded, and he aimed at Lin Yi on the Yangwei, and shot the arrow. past.

With a distance of 100 meters, this sharp arrow pierced through the air.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ji Dong grabbed the shaft of this arrow like lightning, and at the same time, he flicked his face to let the arrow of this arrow pass.

Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and other Ming soldiers aimed their muskets at Shi Lang, and Lin Yi stopped them with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Shi Lang was dumbfounded. He had never met Ji Dong before, but he had already guessed it by looking at this style. Being able to touch the arrows he shot was extraordinary.

With an arrow in his hand, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Shi Lang, you really don't know good from bad, look at it..." Lin Yi waved to him as he spoke. Thousands of muskets around Lin Yi were pointing at Shi Lang, and Lin Yi continued, "This prison country wants to take your life, and 100 Shi Langs have been beaten into sieves at this time!"

It was only then that Shi Lang realized that Ji Dong's words were not exaggerating. These tens of thousands of muskets would go off with just one pull of the trigger. If they really fired at him together, how many of them would have been beaten into a sieve?
But now Shi Lang has become angry from embarrassment.

"My surname is Lin, you want me, Shi Lang, to surrender, so let me die as soon as possible!"

As Shi Lang said, he drew out the second Spike arrow, added it to the string, and with a creak, he drew the bow fully again towards Ji Dong.

Now Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and others around him were all furious, and they all raised their muskets again to shoot him.

"Don't hurt him!"

"Brother Lin?" Xiaoying, Zhezhe, and Su Mo'er felt that Shi Lang was too ungrateful, and Lin Yi was too tolerant.Preferential treatment of captives refers to captives.The stubborn resister was killed without pardon, it was obvious that Shi Lang belonged to the latter, why should he accommodate him?
Xiaoying Zhezhe, Su Mo'er and others didn't understand.Of course, the tens of thousands of sailors and generals present did not understand either.

In Ji Dong's eyes, Shi Lang was not an ordinary captive, and of course he couldn't be treated as an ordinary captive.

At this moment, Shi Lang shot the second arrow regardless.

Ji Dong's eyes were wide open, waiting for him to cum, he really dared to cum!The moment he let go, another sharp arrow came through the air. Ji Dong tilted his head, and the other hand shot like lightning, and grabbed the arrow in his hand again.

Both hands caught Shi Lang's two arrows, and Shi Lang was shocked again.But then he refused to let go, and took out the third arrow again.

Now Ji Dong smiled instead, "I can't finish shooting, okay, do you want to play archery, kid? I will play with you from the prison country."

As Ji Dong spoke, he flicked a Spike arrow, leaving only one arrow in his hand, and took a bow with the other hand, acknowledging the buckle and adding the string, while Shi Lang raised the bow and arrow, and drew the bow to the full.Ji Dong also raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and with a slight force with both arms, the bow was pulled round with a creak.

But at this moment, Shi Lang didn't restrain himself at all, and a ruthless look flashed across his two eyes.He gritted his teeth and shot a third arrow.

But when he shot the arrow, Ji Dong also gave away his right hand.

There were two sounds of the bowstring, and two sharp arrows pierced through the air at the same time. As a result, the two arrows collided in the air.There was a sound of metal impact, and then they both fell into the river.

This time Shi Lang was completely dumbfounded, he had never seen such superb archery skills, "It is said that the martial arts surnamed Lin is strong and invincible in the world, it seems that this statement is true, I am ashamed..."

While Shi Lang was feeling emotional, several generals of the Ming army had already boarded his warship.

The vigilant Shi Lang turned around and saw that there was no one soldier around him.

"Don't move, don't move!" The Ming army trapped him, pointing their knives and guns sharply.

Shi Lang rolled his eyes, and suddenly threw the bow in his hand at a Ming army soldier, and at the same time drew out his saber to charge towards these Ming army soldiers.

Because no one dared to shoot before Lin Yi had spoken, the soldiers of the Ming army could not be indifferent because they could not let him kill him, so they had to subdue him by force, so they fought him with the sharp blades in their hands.

Shi Lang is really a fierce general, the sword in his hand is flying up and down like a ghost, in the blink of an eye.A dozen soldiers of the Ming army fell before his eyes, rolling everywhere on the deck, and two of them were forced into the river by him.

"Brother Lin?" Little Ying Zhezhe and Su Mo'er saw that Shi Lang was so ignorant of current affairs, they couldn't bear it anymore. Does that mean they can bear it?How long are you going to let him torment?
"Let me do it!" Chen Mingyu, who was beside Lin Yi, couldn't hold back the fire for a long time. One of the Jiangyin Sangong said, he took a ghost knife and jumped from the giant ship into a small boat. Then he boarded Shi Lang's big boat.

At this time, Shi Lang on the ship was still fighting with the Ming soldiers, hundreds of Ming soldiers probably couldn't subdue him, and he was beaten by his sword, rolled off the deck, and fell into the river everywhere.

"Back off, everyone!" Chen Mingyu yelled, separated from the crowd and came to Shi Lang.At this moment, Shi Lang was panting heavily.

"The surname Shi is really not a flattery, is he really looking for death?" Chen Mingyu pointed at the ghost knife in his hand and shouted.

"Stop the fucking nonsense, take your life!" Shi Lang glared, and now he's broken, he just wants to die in battle.So now he is the only one left, and he is not caught without a fight.Waving the sword in his hand, he jumped over and slashed.

Chen Mingyu was furious, and swung the ghost knife in his hand to kill him.

On the warship in the middle of the river, the sword clashed with the sword, sparks splashed everywhere, and the two of them were inseparable from each other.

Standing on the giant ship, Ji Dong kept nodding his head while looking at it. He really is a pair of tiger generals!

Yang Wei slowly approached the battlefield of the two.

Of course Lin Yi knew that Chen Mingyu was one of the Three Lords of Jiangyin. He, Yan Yingyuan and Feng Houdun were collectively called the Three Lords of Jiangyin.He was one of the most virtuous national heroes in the late Ming Dynasty.

His reputation is no less than that of Yan Yingyuan.Like Yan Yingyuan, this person is also a pawn in Jiangyin County. Regardless of his small official position, this person has always enforced the law impartially, is upright and not evil, and has good martial arts.He usually takes the lead in catching thieves and handling cases and suppressing rebels. He is famous in the local area.When the thieves heard of his fame, they all backed away.

According to the original historical development, after Chongzhen hanged himself, the Qing army marched south, and the order to shave their hair was issued, which aroused strong dissatisfaction and resistance from the Han people.The Manchu Tartars and traitor lackeys suppressed it bloodily.Jiangyin County is where the conflicts are most intense.

The Manchu Qing wanted to take this county, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun were elected as leaders. They led 10 civilian soldiers in the city and fought bloody battles with 24 Manchu elites outside the city for 81 days.More than [-] Manchu Tartars and traitors died under their hands.

But fighting alone, they were finally outnumbered. When the city was broken, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and the civilian soldiers in the city surrendered, and fierce street battles started with the Manchu Tartars.

Chen Mingyu made his whole family set themselves on fire, and then he fought the Qing army with a knife to the death.After beheading several Manchu Tartars in a row, he was seriously injured, and finally stood dead by the wall.

Now Ji Dong's time travel has also changed the historical direction of this hero.Maybe he won't have the chance to fight the Manchu Tartars, but he is loyal to Ming Dynasty.Fighting to the death with Shi Lang.

After more than a dozen rounds, Shi Lang kicked Chen Mingyu onto the deck with his sword and kicked Chen Mingyu onto the deck. He rushed forward with his sword and slashed at Chen Mingyu.

At the critical moment, Su Mo'er shook his hand, and three silver lights flew out, and three silver needles were nailed to Shi Lang's arm holding the sword. Falling on board.

Chen Mingyu, who had fallen on the deck, swept his legs at this moment, and Shi Lang flew upside down and fell heavily on the deck. Before he could get up, several soldiers of the Ming army rushed up and stepped on him with their feet. Killing him, Shu pressed the blade to his neck.Shi Lang had no choice but to let go.
