After the Qing Army's fire boat rushed to the pioneer fleet of the merchant army, continued to follow the river, forcing the three fleets behind the merchant army into the past.
The Qing army dispatched a total of more than fifty groups of serial ships, and more than 40 groups were ignited, and most of the warships of the pioneer fleet were hit by the Qing army's fire boats, spreading the flames, burning, only there was only it.
Four or five ships rely on excellent ship fucking technology and a little luck to avoid the attack of the fire boat. And that's it, there is also a destroyer and a guard boat because they avoid the fire boat, but the result is near the beach near the river.
The place is stranded.
Although some of the other warships hit this fire boat, although some of them spread the fire, they got rid of the fire boat in time, evacuated in a safe place, and hitting the fire on the boat. But at least ten warships had more than ten warships.
Or because of being entangled in the fire boat, or because the fire is too large, it cannot be saved. At the same time, because the fire has been spreading to the deck, the gunpowder warehouse has caused a series of big bangs. The soldiers surviving on the boat can only abandon the ship to jump the river to escape.
However, after some fire boats were burned, the iron locks were broken and scattered, and some fire boats were shot close by the merchant military warship, or the impact of the rotten.
Because it was all wooden results, it was able to float on the river while burning, and along the river, drifting downstream. After many fire boats across the pioneer fleet, they immediately followed the river and went straight to the back of the back.
Go to the fleet.
The distance between the three fleets and pioneer fleets behind the merchant army is not far away. There is almost no time to fight back, and they meet with the fire boat. Facing such a large area of fire boat offensive, except for dodging and retreat,
After that, there are basically no other ways, because the fire boat is not afraid of being attacked. If it is on the sea, you can also use the infinite width of the sea surface to fully spread it to avoid the fire boat.
Limited. Therefore, in this case, Huang Zhen could only order, and the ships were temporarily retreated.
In the latter team of the Merchant Army, only a few front warships can only get up and forth in the fire boat because there is no time to turn.
The vast majority of the latter warships immediately chose to turn around and retreat.
But not every ship can choose the time to improve, or that they do not allow them to have sufficient timing to turn calmly, and sometimes they can only take risks. Therefore, in the process of turning around, there are many warships.
It was hit by the fire boat and entangled, but it was burned by the fire. Even the flagship sky power number by Huang Zhen was also hit by the fire boat twice.
It is huge, and it is not a serial ship that hit the Tianquan. It is not very ridiculed by the circular ship. It has not been entangled by the fire boat. Finally, I turned around and retreated downstream.
The river surface is almost covered with burning battle boats, wreckage, and fragmented sections.
Soldiers struggled in the turbulent river water.
Fortunately, it is the charge launched by Tianwei to the follow -up fleet of the Qing army. With its own power, more than a hundred warships of the Qing army were confused.
The speed of the merchant also won the front line of valuable time for other warships of the merchant army.
In the process of the Tianwei from the Qing Army's follow -up fleet, and began to retreat downstream, other warships of the ten merchant army were crossing the fire boat and were preparing to turn around.
He also ordered them to make a banner to them, and gathered these warships to form a good formation.
With the withdrawal of the rights, the other warships are naturally based on the Tianwei as the core.
And in the process of the fleet retreat, many soldiers who fell into water -falling life were rescued. Only a few warships that were also stranded on the river beach, and now they did not have time to pull them back to the river.
The soldiers on the warship abandoned the ship and escaped by the lifeboat. Those near the north bank of the river can be avoided ashore, because the north bank is Yangzhou government. This is the territory of the merchant army.
He came over to the big ship and retreated with the ship. However, when the boat was abandoned, a few soldiers on the boat still ignited the gunpowder library and bombed the empty boat.
After the Qing army's warship was re -formed again, the warship of the merchant army, together with the fire boat, has run away early. Because at this time, the warship of the merchant army is also smooth, and it is difficult for the Qing army to catch up.
The boats are almost burning now, and after chasing it, they entered the Yangtze River section controlled by the merchant army. If the merchant army returns to attack, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with, so Hong Chengchou has not ordered to catch up.
However, just now a warship of the merchant troops stirred more than a hundred warships of the Qing troops upside down. The Qing army felt that her face had no light, so they couldn't mention the spirit.
, I also stood up from the seat and laughed: "Everyone saw it, and the Merchant Army's water army was defeated by us, escaped, we have won."
Hong Bao, a family member around him, was very clever, and immediately said: "The commander of the first battle south, and the sailor of the merchant army defeated the merchant army.
Stay. "
Hong Bao said so, Liu Mengxuan, the leader of the sailor around Hong Chengchou, also hurriedly said: "The handsome mandsome magical machine counts, the sailor of the business army, I waited to admire the extreme."
One member immediately shouted his arms: "We were fighting. Winning."
After listening to the other soldiers, they cheered together. Although the Tianwei had a gray face, the Merchant Army was indeed defeated, and most of the Qing army saw it.
It has caused a great blow to the merchant army. It seems that it is a victory, so there are more and more people who cheer. They are celebrating the victory of this water war.
Then Hong Chengchou ordered to clean up the battlefield and prepare to return to Nanjing. When packing the battlefield, a few merchants were found to be stranded in troops. Among them, there were two frigates.
As a result, it was not successful, and of course it became the warrior of the Qing army.
Although the frigate is the smallest of the Five -level warships of the Merchant Army, in the Warship of the Army, it is still a behemoth. With these two warships, the victory of the Qing army is even more convincing. Therefore,
Hong Chengchou was also very happy, led the fleet to return to Nanjing.
On the other side, after the merchant army retreated, Jiangliu retreated to the Pakistani Port in Changzhou Prefecture. At this time, most of the fire boats were burned, and Tianwei also took part of the defeat to catch up with the brigade. These warships are concentrated in the main battleships. Although they all have some damage, they are not hindered. They can be repaired in about a month. Therefore, Huang Zhen also felt a little comforted. Then, then
The merchant army was destroyed in a total of thirty -four warships, including seven destroyers and twelve frigates. There were 21 warships need to repair it to recover the combat effectiveness. 681 people. The total loss of the warship reached about 60 % of the army, and the soldier soldiers were close to 40 % of the army. 277 soldiers were killed, injured 2267.
Although the number of warship lost in the Qing army is several times that of the merchant army, most of them are boats with less than 300 materials, and they are merchant ships and cargo ships. Compared with the professional warships lost in the army, in terms of the number of soldiers, the Qing army is far less than the merchant army, and the merchant army is indeed defeated on the battlefield. Since its establishment, the first defeat encountered. And the losses have also been quite damaged. The newly established Yangtze Fleet has almost lost half of the combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Huang Zhen, the leader of the Yangtze River Fleet, and the commanders of the three branch fleets without saying anything. They sent someone to inform Shang Yi and took the initiative to ask for sin.
Due to the defeat of the water army, and the reinforcements of the Qing army also arrived, Yang Wuzhen, who was attacking Danyang County, also immediately withdrew the army and returned to the Changzhou Mansion.
After Duo Duo's garrison in Zhenjiang, he immediately received a great report on the water from Hong Chengchou. It is even more valuable. It seems that Hong Chengchou really really has two sons.
However, on the next day, the news from another front also passed to Zhenjiang, Guangdezhou lost, and the Qing army lost nearly 10,000 people. On the two -tier battlefield, the merchant army and the Qing army were one wins and one negative. After playing a tie, but after all, the merchant army won a city -level city. Therefore, in fact, the army still ate a dark loss.
Although for the Qing Army, Zhenjiangfu must not be able to lose, but it cannot be said that Guangxi Prefecture is not important. The merchant army seized Guangzhengzhou. Although it can not directly threaten Nanjing, it has occupied Nanjing from Nanjing. Directly attack the throat of Hangzhou, and Ning Guofu, Jianping, Puyang and other places in Nanjing's peripherals are within the offensive scope of the merchant army. Therefore, the periphery of Nanjing is also unstoppable.
Duo Duo hurriedly negotiated with Hong Chengchou. Now the merchant army who attacked Zhenjiang government retired, so do you want to rush back to win Guangzhengzhou? But at this time, Hong Chengchou is a bamboo. No ability to launch a further offense from Guangxi Prefecture.
