From the rear team, the sampan fleet was urgently transferred to the baggage fleet to reinforce the ship because Wang Fu knew very well that the Wu army sampan ship on the flank could not stop the Taiping Army's raid fleet, and the sky was dark, and the storm was stormy, and the vision was even more disturbed. In the case of serious insufficient warning time, it was just a fool to stop all enemies from coming to the ship!

This is true. If time and space are sufficient and vision is good enough, then even if the Wu army's sampan fleet is mainly concentrated on the front and back sides of the baggage fleet, relying solely on the Wu army's sampanship, you can still be very confident in defending the enemy from the position and killing the fragile small-drawn ship driven by the Taiping Navy Commando. But unfortunately, the Wu army's sampan fleet on the flank has neither time nor space, and the vision is extremely bad. So...

"Kill! Crush in and set fire, burning the baggage ship that surpasses the little demon!"

Amid Huang Wenying's proud roar, eighty Taiping small-drawn ships, driven by 40 elite sailors, shot straight towards the Wu army's baggage fleet parked densely in the heart of the river, riding the wind and waves, unstoppable.

The Wu army sampan guarding the flank also did its best to intercept the coming enemy. In the unfavorable situation of being located downstream, the Wu army soldiers tried their best to row the oars and paddle, heading up the river, and killing the coming enemy with red eyes. As soon as they entered the range, they couldn't wait to shoot and shoot the enemy rushing towards them, and they all had anxiety in their roaring voices, "Stop! Stop! Be sure to stop the long-haired fleet!"

There was no way, the Taiping Army's small draw ship was too fast, and he tried his best to pull away the formation and advance together in the charge. The Wu army soldiers could stop the first one and could not stop the second one, and could not see the enemy's position clearly in the dark and windy rain. They could only shoot and kill the enemy that could be seen as much as possible. Therefore, the large number of Taiping Army's small draw ships still passed by the Wu army's sampan fleet, and continued to rush towards the unarmed Wu army's baggage fleet.

Wang Fu's order was almost sent to the baggage fleet that had already been volatile at the same time. At this moment, a Wu soldier equipped with each baggage ship also played a key role. When he received the order, almost all of them shouted at the folk sailors on the boat without hesitation, "No one is allowed to run! Whoever dares to run, I will shoot immediately!"

The Taiping Army's small draw boats plunged into the Wu army's baggage fleet one by one. Rockets immediately shot at the Wu army's baggage ship loaded with food and ammunition. Fireballs (similar to fireworks) flew, torches were thrown, and fire dragons spewed out from the lever-type oil-sprayed cans swept everywhere, igniting the hull and lighting the debris on the deck. The hood made of bamboo and wood also caught fire and quickly burst out with flames. The folk sailors on the ship shouted and ran to put out the fire, but the Taiping Army soldiers laughed and were proud.

In a state of human nature, in extreme panic, the folk sailors hired by Wu Chaoyue spent money to have the idea of ​​running a boat to escape. There were quite a few sailors who put it into practice and shouted to collect the anchor and prepare to escape. Fortunately, the Wu soldiers on the boat played the backbone in time, and raised their guns and shouted: "Don't move, who dares to collect the anchor? I will shoot him to death!"

"But Jun Ye, Changmao is here to kill him." The folk sailor defended with a crying voice.

"If you come, you are not allowed to run away!" Wu Jun's soldier yelled with red eyes, "I am for your own good. In this situation, the more you run, the more you die, the more you die, the more you run, the more you die! Let me go back to your original position and prepare to put out the fire!"

In order to stabilize the formation, some Wu army soldiers shot and killed civil sailors who did not obey the command. As a result, it was precisely because of this iron-blooded method that the Wu army's baggage fleet did not experience major turmoil. Although some ships left their original positions, they could still be considered complete in formation and did not use their own chaos to give the Taiping Army more opportunities.

Of course, this situation is what Wang Fu and other Wu Navy generals are most willing to see, but the Taiping Commando is least unwilling to see. Because if the Wu army's baggage team always keeps the queue tight, even if they ignite more than 1,200 Wu army's baggage ships, they will not be able to ignite all the more than 1,200 Wu army's baggage ships. At the same time, the Wu army's sampan fast ships can also quickly find them through the waterways retained by the baggage fleet to launch an attack. Only when the Wu army's baggage fleet becomes chaotic and collides with each other, the already ignited Wu army's baggage ships can ignite friendly ships, and at the same time they can congestion and cut off the waterways in the formation, and do not give the Wu army's sampan fleet a chance to launch a counterattack against the Taiping Commando. Such a situation is most beneficial to the Taiping Commando.

The only way to win this situation is to attack wildly, set fire to the ship, shoot the enemy, and use the fear of death to force the Wu army's baggage fleet to chaos. The Taiping Navy Commando, who knew very well, was ruthless and kept smashing the ship's loaded fire-driven weapons at the Wu army's baggage ship like crazy. Whenever he had the chance, he would shoot, shoot Wu army and civilians and soldiers on the deck, and set fire to kill people with all his strength, forcing the Wu army's baggage fleet to turmoil.

But the Taiping Commando was soon disappointed. No matter how hard they tried to set fire to the enemy, no matter how many Wu army baggage ships ignited the sky, the Wu army baggage ships were in a state of chaos, but they were not chaotic. Even the sailors on the ship were so panicked that they dived and fled, they did not put away the anchor and fled. The Wu army baggage ships were fixed in their original position as if they had grown roots, and even if the ship had already caught fire and smoke, they would not escape. The Taiping Commando was strange, but there was no way.

"Why is the baggage fleet that surpasses the little demon different from other fleets?"

When the Taiping Commando led by Huang Wenying was wondering, the counterattack of the Wu army sampan fleet had gradually begun. With the help of the unobstructed waterway in the formation, Wu army sampans and fast sailed around like swimming fish, and rushed towards the Taiping small-drawn ship that was setting fire to kill people. They used guns and cannons to shoot yesterday's allies who shamelessly launched a sneak attack. Angry roars continued...

"Kill! Kill all these dogs with hair! Shameless dog things!"

…………

The Taiping Army still has the chance to defeat the Wu army's baggage team. If the Wu army naval fleet fighting upstream and downstream finds that the baggage fleet is attacked and turns back to the baggage fleet, then the Taiping Army naval division, which is divided into two groups, can advance with the flow and join the arson battlefield. Even if it is still no match for the Wu army's naval division in the end, it will be very sure to severely damage the Wu army's baggage fleet, burn and destroy a large number of money, grain and weapons that will be used by the Wu army to revenge, and weaken the Wu army's material base.

The distance is not too far. As the Taiping Commando continues to make progress, the fire in the Wu army's baggage fleet continues to expand. Huang Wenjin's unit of the Taiping Army upstream and Shi Dakai's unit of the downstream saw the fire emitted by the Wu army's baggage fleet. He knew that his own army had succeeded in the raid, and his morale was greatly boosted. He was beaten up by the Wu army's navy and gritted his teeth and persevered, waiting for the Wu army's navy to return to the rescue and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Huang Wenjin and Shi Dakai were gradually disappointed. Although the firelight in the area of ​​Daxue Mountain was already clearly visible, the Wu Navy fleet opposite them still ignored them, and kept firing fire at them, rushing around the water with the advantages of tonnage and maneuverability, but never took a step back, resulting in the Taiping Navy not finding any advantage to launch a charge assault.

In this regard, Huang Wenjin made the choice to break the army into pieces, and with the protection of the night and the advantages of the upper level, he rushed downstream in scattered ways, and was killed by the Wu army's navy, and he also sent the small boat forward to assist the commando in the battle.

Shi Dakai, who was located in the downstream, made a completely opposite choice. When the Wu Navy retreated and the small boats in the downstream were unable to rush towards the Wu Navy formation quickly, Shi Dakai cleverly chose to command the entire army to turn around and flee downstream, wanting to give the Wu Navy a chance to return to the aid first, and then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Shi Dakai was soon disappointed. After the Taiping Navy led by him turned around and fled downstream, although the Wu Navy's Red Single Fleet and Fenders were not chasing, they were still lined up in place and continued to be vigilant. The other six Wu Army steam gunships launched the pursuit without hesitation. They relied on their maneuvering advantage to stare at the Taiping Navy's large ships and fought wildly in the Taiping Army's small boats, directly killing the enemy with tonnage and water flow. The boiler was always on and the ship speed never dropped. The Taiping Navy naturally could not find any opportunity to turn around and assault again.

Shi Dakai was just disappointed, but Huang Wenjin was desperate. As mentioned earlier, Wang Fu mobilized the sampan fleet behind the fleet to return to the baggage ship, but the Wu army sampan fleet, which was located in the upper reaches, remained silent, in order to guard against the Pengze Navy of the Taiping Army, who launched an assault with the advantage of the upper class.

Under such circumstances, the Taiping Army boat that rushed in in groups of three or three met the Wu army's sampan fleet that was always on guard, of course, died in vain. They were angry and hated the betrayal of their allies. The Wu army navy took action without any mercy and threw bitter and sour grenades to kill the enemy whenever they had the chance. As long as a grenade hit the enemy ship, they could basically send a Taiping Army boat to the bottom of the river to feed fish. The Wu army soldiers were murderous intent, but the Taiping soldiers were soaring.

During the fierce battle in the middle, several Wu army ammunition ships were directly ignited and exploded. However, the Wu army's baggage fleet was still trying to maintain its formation intact. The civilians on the baggage ship either put out the fire or dived to escape, and they did not dare to touch the anchor ropes that were closely guarded by Wu army soldiers. The anchor could not be raised. No matter how the baggage ship burned or turbulent, it would not leave its position. The formation would naturally not be chaotic. The flames were beating and the thick smoke covered the sky. The Wu army soldiers were like statues, guarding the iron anchors on the bow, guarding the position of the ship, and also protecting the overall formation of the fleet.

The one responsible for launching the attack was the Wu army's sampan-clippers. Driven by anger, the Wu army's sampan-clippers were not only faster and more accurate in the shuttle, but also more fierce and fierce when attacking. The firing of gunfire was not counted. In order to kill the enemy, many Wu army navy soldiers simply jumped onto the Taiping Army's small draw ship and directly fought with the Taiping Army soldiers. They even fought and rolled down the cold river water with the enemy, and continued to fight and fight in the water with red eyes.

The fierce battles in the front, middle and back continued, but the flagships of the Wu Navy and four third-level battleships were still motionless. The Wu Navy generals headed by Wang Fu all looked ashen. Everyone was furious in their chests. They held their hands tightly at the side of the ship and looked at the fierce battle battlefield indifferently. The anger in their eyes was enough to turn the Taiping Navy into ashes, but they all tried to remain calm, not to make any adjustments and commands, and to delegate everything to their soldiers. Because they knew very well that the more they adjusted their formation at this time, the more they mobilized the army, the more they were destined to give the enemy a chance!

The grassroots soldiers and officers of the Wu Navy, formed by the old and new expansion, did not disappoint their commanders. They truly did not be shocked at night and did not be disturbed when they heard about changes. No matter how the Taiping Commando set fire to chaos, the Wu army's baggage fleet said that it was not chaos, and the Wu army's sampan fleet also kept chasing, performing their respective duties and not restraining each other, responding to all changes in peace and calmly responding to the shameless sneak attacks of the Taiping Commando.

After all, the number of small-drawn ships of the Taiping Commando was only eighty. No matter how many turbulent, rockets and fire bombs were used up, they would be used up. As these attack-type arson weapons were gradually exhausted, the Wu army's sampan and clutches were constantly hunted down and the Taiping Commando's offensive gradually slowed down. Not only were they blocked from more Wu army's sampan and clutches, they could only set fire by tying bundles of firewood and other objects. Not only were the arsoning effect greatly reduced, the sailors on the Wu army's sampan and clutches could also calmly extinguish these tiny flames, and the situation of the Wu army's sampan and clutch fleet also improved rapidly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Taiping Commando could only escape from the battlefield by driving ships. Huang Wenying, who had been targeted by the Wu army's sampan and clutch, could only take the boat to escape from the Wu army's baggage fleet and flee to the dark downstream. Fortunately, the Wu army's sampan and clutch did not chase him, but only gave priority to dealing with the remaining enemies of the baggage fleet. Huang Wenying was lucky enough to escape.

In the second half of the night, the situation finally returned to the control of the Wu Navy. While the entire area of ​​the formation had been wiped out, the Wu Navy still did not make any adjustments or changed its position. It just continued to strictly protect the baggage fleet while extinguishing fires and rescuing them, and waited patiently for the sky to be clear.

During this period, Shi Dakai, who refused to give up, organized a small boat to attack the west of the nearshore waterway. Unfortunately, the Taiping Army fleet that was traveling against the current had been discovered by the Wu Navy before it had crossed the Sankou Kiln area. Five red single ships rushed over and bombarded the Taiping Small Boat fleet, which had no power to fight back, collapsed and was soon defeated and fled back to the downstream. Shi Dakai had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Wait, let's see how you pass Madang Mountain!"

The Wu army navy, which protected a large number of baggage fleets, actually had the difficulty of Madang Mountain. Not to mention that there was Taiping Army's artillery on Madang Mountain, the rapid flow of water at the foot of Madang Mountain was enough for the Wu army's baggage fleet to drink a pot, so Shi Dakai was so confident that he believed that his army would have the opportunity to teach the Wu army a lesson again.

But Shi Dakai forgot another thing, that is, he had never seen the full picture of the Wu army naval division from beginning to end, but only learned from the paper data about the Wu army naval division, and had never seen the true appearance of the Wu army naval division. So the next day, the news came from the front that the Wu army naval division was shelling the Madangshan Fortress. When Shi Dakai hurriedly led the Taiping Army naval division to chase the Wu army near the Wu army fleet, he only raised his telescope and looked at it. Shi Dakai was stunned.

The one responsible for shelling the Madangshan Fort was the four third-level battleships of the Wu army. Each of them had more than seventy guns. Even if it was only one ship's side to the enemy and half of the firepower covered the Taiping Army's Madangshan Fortress, it could shoot about 150 shells in one round, and it was the black gunpowder and picurious flowering shells that pose the greatest threat to the open-air turret!

"Blow me! Beat me hard!"

Under the angrily roaring command of the Wu generals, the four sail battleships of the Wu army were roaring continuously, and they bombed the flowering artillery shells one after another on the Madangshan Fort, bursting out one after another of the fire, completely covering the entire Madangshan Fortress in a sea of ​​fire. Occasionally, several Taiping Army artillery fired counterattacks, but the consequence was that more artillery shells were concentrated at their artillery positions. The explosions continued on the fort, crying and shaking, and it was constantly visible that Taiping soldiers fled from the fort in a panic.

Appearing on the front of Shi Dakai's fleet were eight Wu army steam gunships lined up, each of which was filled with black smoke and boiler roaring. Behind the steam fleet was the Red Single Fleet, and behind the Red Single Fleet was the sampan fleet, densely packed and murderous intent. He said to Shi Dakai directly with his momentum: "Come on, come on if you want to die!"

Seeing this scene, Shi Dakai not only died completely and attacked halfway, but his whole body was also cold and cold. He was always thinking about it. "When he surpassed the little demon and came back and asked us to take revenge, how can we resist it? How can we stop it?"

Shi Dakai was definitely not worried about anything. In fact, Wu Chaoyue would use the second-tier army to launch the Northern Expedition, and he would also concentrate his own sharps on the front line of the Yangtze River. In addition to protecting his industrial base and grain production area, the more critical reason is that he is ready to use force to clear the Yangtze River route that is crucial to the Wu army, and he also made relevant plans early. Wu Chaoyue was preparing to use it to go north to chase and kill the elite Wu army in the Qing court, and could also transform into an eastern expedition army that took action against the Taiping Army at any time!

On that day, the artillery fire of the Wu army's naval division directly flattened the Madangshan fortress of the Taiping Army's Taiping Army, and swept the remnants of the Pengze Naval Division of the Taiping Army with a small boat alone. The scarred baggage fleet directly crossed the Madangshan defense line of the Taiping Army and continued to go west and go home under the protection of the Wu army's naval division.

The Taiping Navy led by Shi Dakai did not dare to move because they dared to do anything. Thousands of large and small cannons of the Wu Navy could directly send them to the bottom of the river.

The Hukou Navy, led by Lin Qirong, did not dare to move, because the Wu army Jiujiang Navy had already left the port for a long time and stared at them. Lin Qirong dared to move, and his Hukou Navy was the only one who was the same-strong Wu army Jiujiang Navy first was severely injured, and then he was killed by the main force of the Wu army Navy and wiped out the entire army!
