Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Boss, we have already put life and death at risk!"

All the royal guards laughed.

The Qing troops blocking the river on the other side numbered hundreds of people and dozens of boats.

There are even artillery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!

There were even countless soldiers lined up on the river bank to prevent the Jin Yiwei from abandoning their boats and going ashore.

The ship is strong and the artillery is strong, and the soldiers are numerous.

And they only have five small flags.

50 soldiers, seven boats.

Plus a dozen or so people from Zuo Maodi’s mission to the north...

Not only are they at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but even their weapons are inferior.

Because they ventured to Tongzhou outside the capital city for rescue, they could not carry firearms.

There were only long swords, long knives, and a few curved bows among the Jinyi guards.

Not even a crossbow!

Not only did the soldiers never wear armor, but the only firearms the entire army had together were only ten grenades!

Because throughout the ages, except for the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court has never prohibited civilians from owning swords and hunting bows.

It is legally allowed for the Jinyi guards who pretend to be common people to carry weapons.

Hiding a crossbow or armor privately is a capital offense!

(Swords and bows are still not prohibited, but crossbows are prohibited.)

It is true that Cao Huachun was trying to save Zuo Maodi.

But he couldn't reveal his strength in advance, let alone irritate the Qing court.

This also led Xie San and others to want to break through the Qing army's defense line in the face of such a huge difference...

Like a mayfly shaking a tree!

The cruel smile on the face of the Qing army on the opposite side was clearly visible.

A strong enemy is at hand, but everyone is laughing.

life and death……

Already ignored!

A small flag shouted:

"Brothers, let this son of a bitch Tatar see the passion of my Ming Dynasty Jin Yiwei!"

"God's motherfucker!"

"Fuck his grandma!"

Jin Yiwei cursed loudly, and Zuo Maodi's eyes were wet.

'Brothers, if I, Zuo Maodi, can escape, I will definitely serve the country in this life to repay you for your great kindness! ’

Zuo Maodi was swearing in his heart when he heard a gunshot sound like fried beans:

"Crackling!"

The Qing troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait opened fire.

The first moment they entered the firing range of the Qing army, the well-trained guards in brocade crouched down and huddled under the side of the boat to avoid the first round of attacks by the Qing army.

However, there were several members of the mission who had never been on the battlefield because they were civilian officials, but they still stood with their swords firmly in hand.

“Get down!

Get down! "

Xiaoqi yelled, jumped up, and pushed the two members of the mission next to him into the cabin, but he was beaten into a sieve...

"Pfft!"

The little flag fell into the water.

The turbid river surface was stained with traces of blood.

"brother!"

The eyes of the two civil servants who had escaped were about to burst.

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

The Qing army's artillery spouted flames.

Some of the projectiles hit the thick shield and shattered like powder, with sawdust flying everywhere.

The boat shook violently.

A small boat was completely blown to pieces.

Several royal guards on the ship fell into the water, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead...

Fortunately, because the Ming army went down the river and the boat was fast, most of the projectiles fell into the water.

The exploding river water rushed towards the Ming army.

Whoa!

The boat seemed to have been baptized by a violent storm. The Ming army, bent over and hiding under the side of the boat, was soaked in water.

The boat is unabated.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

After two attacks failed, the Qing troops standing on the bow of the ship aimed at the rapidly approaching ship and opened fire.

"Hurry up!"

Xie Sanhu had tears in his eyes and roared loudly.

He steered the ship for the last time, straight along the connection between the two intercepting ships, and crashed into it!

In the peripheral vision of his eyes, he glanced at the place where the robe fell into the water...

The river is surging endlessly, but where can you see the shadow?

"Bang!"

With a huge crash, the boat Xie San was riding hit the Qing army's Suohe fleet.

"Puff! Puff!"

On the boat in front of them, the Qing troops lost their footing and were knocked to the ground. Several Qing troops fell headlong into the river.

"Creak~~Gah! Jump!"

There was a tooth-aching friction, and the arm-thick gun rope broke from it.

"Crash! Bang bang!"

Without the connection of the gun ropes, under the dual impact of the river and the open boats, the river-locked fleet slowly drifted downstream.

In the middle of the river, a gradually widening gap appeared.

However, the gap leading to the road to life was filled with flying arrows and bullets.

The Qing army, which had already learned of the Ming army's intentions, fired arrows into the gap desperately.

The arrow rain was so dense that even the ships on the left and right sides suffered damage.

But in the blink of an eye, he was shot into a hedgehog.

The Qing troops on the ship did not die in the hands of the Ming troops, but fell under the arrows of their own people...

This is a death passage!

unless……

The Ming army was willing to endure a steady stream of long-range attacks from the Qing army and chose to wait on the spot.

Under the impact of the current, it won't take long for the Qing army's fleet to be washed away and lose its formation.

However, this is an ideal situation where the Qing army does not change its formation.

The reality is that by then, the Qing army will definitely give up the river-locking formation and choose to fight closer.

In other words, if Xie San wants to send Zuo Maodi out, he must seize this brief moment before the Qing army changes formation.

"Throw a grenade!"

Xie San yelled.

"Shhhhhh!"

The soldier holding the grenade pulled off the fuse and threw the black-smoking grenade towards the left and right ships.

"Boom!"

Because the technological level is not up to par, even if a fuse is made, the grenade cannot control the explosion duration...

Several of them were thrown out just now, and before they even hit the ground, they exploded in mid-air.

Iron beads, broken porcelain, iron nails, overwhelming...

Unintentionally, it achieved maximum lethality.

Howling all over the place!

Because the distance was too close, several soldiers in uniform who threw grenades were also injured, with blood pouring from their bodies.

"Bang bang bang!"

More explosions came.

On both sides of the gap, on the river-locked boats, the Qing troops fell into one piece.

There were also two grenades, but the Qing soldiers with quick eyesight and quick hands caught them before they exploded and threw them into the water.

After a string of bubbles popped up, a washbasin-sized bubble exploded on the river surface.

Because the river was too deep, but there were no water droplets splashing, it was like a fart in the canal.

However, under this invisible explosion, the effect is surprisingly good.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who were knocked into the water were floating on the water like fish with their belly turned upside down...

Ten grenades immediately disabled seven or eight barraged boats.

The gap that had just been opened became a three-foot wide area.

The passage to the south was briefly opened.

The Qing army was immediately shocked.

Someone made an immediate change and ordered his men to quickly untie the ropes, row the oars, and surround the Ming fleet.

More Qing troops reacted and rushed towards the gap!

The gap that had just been opened was about to close again.

"Mr. Zuo!

rush out! "

Xie San roared, and with the Taining pen gun in his hand, he swiped at the Qing ship that was the first to approach on the left.
