Just as the First Army launched a frontal attack on Guangyi Prefecture, the Third Army also launched an attack on Zhenjiangfu.
Zhenjiang Prefecture is close to the east of Nanjing. Now the Luzhou in Jiangbei and the state have been occupied by the merchant forces, which not only blocks the west of Nanjing, but also becomes a sharp blade in the bumps of the merchant army.
The place is just on the opposite side of the Yangzhou government, as if in the territory of the merchant army, it was dug out of a place, and the two sides were almost intertwined with a dog teeth.
The Qing Army's defense in Zhenjiangfu is more strict than Guangdezhou. The guardian strength has reached more than 30,000 people. At the same time, because Zhenjiang is close to Nanjing, the Qing army rescue Zhenjiang faster than Guangdezhou, up to two days.
The reinforcements of the Qing army can arrive.
In addition, the third army of the merchant army who attacked Zhenjiang was the weakest army on the Jiangbei battlefield in Jiangnan, and a considerable part of the army was special forces.
It is impossible to directly launch a strong attack on Zhenjiang like the First Army. Fortunately, the main goal of this time is to capture Guangdezhou. It is not necessary to attack Zhenjiang.
It is also to recover Nanjing's accumulation inspection in the next step.
Yang Wuyi led the army to attack the canal, and attacked Beniu Town, Lucheng Town, Xiaohe Village, Baogang, etc., and then rushed straight to Danyang County in the south of the river.
Yang Wuzhen commanded the merchant army and launched an attack on Danyang. Danyang County is also located on the side of the canal. It is the only way to attack Zhenjiang from Changzhou.
At the same time, a large number of defensive work was built, and the guards were very tight. In addition, the third army was indeed not good at fighting the battle. Therefore, the merchant army attacked for two days, but did not gain much.
When Yang Wuzhen attacked Danyang, Huang Zhen led the Yangtze River Fleet that had just established and saved from Tongzhou.
All the fleets have been brought out. There are nearly a hundred ships in total, and the growing fleets are mighty upside down and set off to Zhenjiang.
When the fleet arrived near Zhenjiang, Yang Wuzhen still led the troops that did not capture Danyang yet. Therefore, Huang Zhen also ordered the fleet to paroxide in Jiangzhou in the middle of the river, waiting for the news of Danyang.
At this moment, Huang Zhen also received the order of Shang Yi. The original *** Department had received information from Nanjing.
The team is also divided into two roads. It comes to rescue Zhenjiang. Land Land reinforcements are led by Duo Duo. The waterway reinforcements are led by Hong Chengchou.
Given that the Third Army is still blocked in the situation of Danyang County, Shang Yi ordered the Yangtze River Fleet to attack, first defeat the Qing army's naval army, defeat the morale of the Qing army, and then go up against the river, directly attack Nanjing, forcing Duo to obey the obedience
Zhenjiang Mansion withdrew the army back to help.
Therefore, after Huang Zhen took the order, he immediately ordered the fleet to set sail to face the Qing army's water army.
It turned out that after learning that the business army attacked the two roads, after launching an offense with Guangzhengzhou and Zhenjiangfu respectively, Duo Duo also discussed with Hong Chengchou. Now the reorganization of the Qing Army has not yet been completed.
Rescue can only choose one of them, and to rescue each other, and the other way can only be placed in a secondary position.
The direct strategic price and importance of Zhenjiang Prefecture are obviously above Guangye Prefecture. Naturally, it is first to rescue Zhenjiangfu. The two also inquired clearly.
After Nanjing, the main energy was the sailor of the Qing army. Now the sailor has been in the first scale. In the Nanjing Longshan Shipyard, there are more than 330 ships in large and small ships.
Rescue Zhenjiangfu.
The two were immediately divided into troops, and Duo Duo led the 40,000 army to set off from Nanjing to the land reinforcements.
A reinforcements.
When the Qing army's shipyard drove to the river surface that was attached to Gaozi Town, which was more than 20 miles away from Zhenjiang, the outpost warships of the two sides met. The Merchant Army had seven warships to the outpost.
One, two five -class frigates, four warships below three hundred materials. The Qing army outpost fleet has a total of twelve warships, one of 500 warships and four warships of 300 yuan.
Two hundred warships, two 150 warships.
After the two sides met, they immediately sent a warship to report to the brigade, and then prepared for the battle. There was no Jiangzhongzhou on this section of the river, which was suitable for the battlefield of the water war. Of course, the warship of the merchant army took the initiative to come forward to fight.
And the Qing army was forced to fight. In fact, the Qing army didn't want to fight, but now the two sides have touched their heads. The Qing army is now smooth water, and once they turn their heads, they become countermeasures.
Then, then
Although there are only six ships left now, the position of the warship of the merchant army immediately adjusted the position and lined up into a column team. It has forty -eight artillery and the strongest firepower Kuimu Wolf leads.
The frigates of the fire bag Xiaoshan and Yuhang, the expansion ship with twenty -six artillery, ranked third and fifth respectively. In the meantime, each of them was equipped with a three -hundred -ranging boat with only two wind guns.
Drived with the "" line of routes, and the warship of the Qing army approached the past. The soldiers and sailors on board were also prepared for the battle. All the artillery also filled the ammunition and opened the artillery hole on the side side of the side side.
, Extended the cannon mouth out of the ship's side, just waiting for the Qing army's warship to enter the range.
The warship of the Qing army was drained from three front and eight, and it was drained horizontally on the river. Follow the river, and the warship of the Merchant Army approached the past.
The four artillery, the three hundred expected warships were equipped with two artillery, and they were all on the deck. At this time, the ammunition was also filled.
The arrow tip of the feather arrows is tied with a small round paper cylinder, which contains gunpowder. The tactics of the Qing army are still close.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. After more than half an hour, it has less than a hundred steps. At this moment, the 12 -door artillery on the first layer of the Kuimu Wolf on the side of the Kuimu Wolf first opened the fire first.
After that, in the Qing army's fleet, there were several high water columns, but one of them did not hit, and the three warships of the Qing army also fired and returned, but the shells also fell in the Yangtze River in the Yangtze River.
Then, then
The first round did not hit both sides. The twelve -door artillery on the second layer of the Piece of Kuimu Wolf also opened the fire.
The boat, a three -hundred -ranging battleship hit two cannons, and the left side of the bow was beaten crushed.
Immediately after, behind the Kuimu Wolf, on a three -hundred -material warship, two thirty -six Perak rocket launchers were launched to the Qing army.
The warship also launched the Perak Rockets made by the Qing army to the Merchant Army. When you come and go on the river, the artillery rocket shoots, and the hit is very lively.
The Kuimu Wolf was in three Perak Rockets, seven or eight soldiers died, and more than ten flames were burned on the deck.
Light. However, the artillery of the Kuimu Wolf is hidden below the deck. Therefore, although it is busy on the deck, it does not affect the artillery to continue to fire.
The three warships of the Qing Army also won several Perak rockets, because their artillery was assembled on the deck, and it was suddenly into a ball. On a three hundred warships, the Thunderbolt rocket exploded.
The fire oil that spurred was splashed on the gunpowder barrel, which suddenly caused the big bang. A loud noise of "bombardment" was bombed as completely with all the sinking sinking.
However, the number of thunder rockets carried by both sides is limited, and it is impossible to shoot without restrictions. Therefore, the main battle is to determine the victory and defeat by the conventional weapons brought by each ship.
At this time, the other two frigates of the merchant army also entered their respective range, and they immediately opened the artillery and hit the Qing army's warships. Although the Qing army's warships also entered the distance of the war, except for
A five -hundred warship and the remaining three three hundred warships also have a certain ability to fight back. Other two hundred materials and 150 warships can basically only be beaten.
Although these warships of the Merchant Army are not equipped with heavy artillery, the distance between the two sides is only fifty or sixty steps, and the army's warships are actually merchant ships. The cargo ship is modified. The solidity is much worse.
If you go on, as long as you eat the targeted part, you can crack the ship's side and crushed the deck.
Although there are several ships trying to approach the warship of the merchant army, and then shooting the rocket at close range, they have not waited for them to enter the range of the bow and arrow. On the various warships of the merchant army, all kinds of muskets also fired together, only the fire was also fired together.
The soldiers on the boat couldn't even lift the heads.
The outpost war between the two sides was only over half an hour. The army of the army had five vessels sunk, or the fire was burning.
Only one three hundred warships are on fire, and the remaining five warships basically maintain more than 80 %.
Sailing, thrown into the Yangtze River, did not cause major damage.
However, at this time, the brigade fleets of the two sides also arrived in the battlefield, so the outpost war also announced the end.
Soldiers, then return to their own team. Waiting for the decisive battle between the main force of both sides.
