Chapter 41: Fuqing Army Zhao Mingshi is the master
Fifty Qing army warships came to Sanshan Island. Wu Yi immediately issued an order to summon the rebels on the islands to rush for assistance and agreed on a time and place to attack.
Zhao Ming left Juyi Hall and came to the water village. He greeted him, "Get together!"
A drum sounded, and the rebel soldiers scattered all over the island hurried to the dock to gather.
Zhao Ming looked at these men wearing short-shot, barefoot, and rolled up their sleeves, some of them had mud on their feet, probably just got up from the field.
"The Qing soldiers are coming to attack the island, but we have explored them in advance. The leader of the throne decided to ambush. Brothers, prepare more firewood and turtle oil on board, each of them will take their own weapons, and follow me to kill the Qing soldiers!" Zhao Ming raised his arms and greeted him.
The rebels quickly prepared, and soon after, they were ready. Zhao Ming jumped onto a fishing boat and the soldiers rowed.
Wu Yi and many gentry stood at the dock to see him off, shouting at Zhao Ming: "Bo'an, Zhuangxing's wine has not been drunk yet."
"Put the wine warm and wait for me to come back to drink." Zhao Ming's voice came from afar.
At this time, the Qing army had just occupied Jiangnan, and its foundation was unstable. In addition, people were thinking about the Han Dynasty, so the Tiandihui was easier to carry out work, and every county and village had the suspicion of Tiandihui.
The Qing army navy left the water camp, and wherever it passed along the way and what it did, it was passed on to the rebel water camp.
The long white sways, the reeds grow around it, and there are many fur candles, which are easy to hide.
After Zhao Ming and several rebels rebels rebels, seven or eight hundred fishing boats hid here, waiting for the Qing soldiers to enter the ambush circle.
A fleet came from afar, and the ship was as tall as a city. It was the men of Bai Wenfu and Li Chengdong, with a total of 5,000 people, of which 3,800 were Bai Wenfu's naval army, and 1,200 were Li Chengdong's elite soldiers.
The two had a clear division of labor. Bai Wenfu was responsible for solving the obstruction of the rioters and sent Li Chengdong to the island, while Li Chengdong was responsible for rushing to the island and killing all the rioters on the island.
Although Li Chengdong only brought 1,200 people, these were old soldiers who had followed him for many years, and he was not afraid of meeting tens of thousands of chaotic people.
At this time, Li Chengdong was in the cabin, holding a sword in one hand and sat on the ground, his face grim, "Hmph~Zhao Ming, you have caused me a lot of pain. This time I will definitely kill you with my own hands to avenge my previous shame~"
Li Chengdong was thinking about how to kill Zhao Ming after going to the island. The ship shook. Li Chengdong suddenly let out a mouthful of dirty things. The general next to him immediately exclaimed, "General!"
Li Chengdong stopped his generals from moving forward, rushed from his throat to his mouth and swallowed the vomit back, holding the sword in his hand, his face pale, "What's going on?"
A soldier ran into the cabin and said anxiously: "General, the fleet has been attacked."
When the Qing army fleet entered Changbaidang and was about to kill to Sanshan Island, a small boat in the reed marsh came out, and the rocket flew out like raindrops, and the Qing soldiers were ambushed.
However, the Qing army was not panicked. The navy quickly counterattacked, and the cannons on the ship opened fire, and soldiers took bird guns and shot from the ship with condescending fire.
On both sides of the ship's strings, Qing army artillery roared, and shells splashed in the water. On the tall ship's tower, Qing army's bird guns suppressed the rebels. The Qing army used long wooden poles to resist the fire ship that hit.
The Qing army fleet was like a hedgehog covered with spikes. The rebels surrounded them because of their large numbers, but they were unable to speak.
As soon as he fought, Zhao Ming realized that he had overestimated the strength of the Rebel Army. The Rebel Army had poor equipment and few bows and arrows. The Qing army was powerful, the bird guns were sharp, and the projectiles were shot down from a high place. The Rebel Army lacked long-range firepower and was completely suppressed and could not take advantage of it.
The rebels shot arrows on the boat, but they did not dare to approach the enemy ship, so they could only be beaten passively. Gradually, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse, and the Qing soldiers became stronger and stronger. Many rebels saw that the situation was not good, so they quietly left.
Li Chengdong's men left the cabin, stood by the strings of the ship, shot with muskets, bows and arrows, and poked the climbing rebels with spears.
When Bai Wenfu saw a small boat holding a flag, she knew it was the leader of the rebel army and immediately let a big boat rush towards Zhao Ming.
"Master, retreat!" Seeing that victory turned into defeat, Wang Deshun quickly persuaded him when he saw that the situation was not good.
Zhao Ming was very upset. He overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Rebel Army. The Rebel Army was too poorly equipped. He had no choice but to be able to attack like this.
On the water surface, Zhao Ming's activities were also restricted, and he needed command, so he did not join the battle group.
"Zhi Niang, fight with the Qing soldiers!" Zhao Ming saw a large ship rushing towards him, but did not obey Wang Deshun's advice. Instead, he was furious and prepared to rush onto the ship to kill all directions.
The first battle after the establishment of the Tiandihui Association is absolutely not to be embarrassed.
At this moment, behind the battlefield, there was a sudden sound of yelling from the sky, hundreds of small boats came from behind the Qing army.
When Zhao Ming heard this, he was delighted and quickly shouted loudly: "Brothers, reinforcements are here, follow me to kill!"
The Qing army was shooting and killing the rebels approaching from both wings. When they heard the voice, they felt a stern heart. When they turned around, they saw a group of men holding various weapons rowing a small boat and rushing over.
Li Chengdong didn't care, thinking that it was just a group of farmers and fishermen who had no combat power, but when they fought, Li Chengdong was shocked.
These people skillfully manipulated the ships, took advantage of the inconvenience of steering, and hit the fire ships one after another at the stern of the Qing army's large ships, and instantly ignited seven or eight warships.
The rebels on these small boats approached the big ship, quickly threw out their hook ropes, and climbed upwards, with their combat power much stronger than ordinary rebels.
Jiangnan has developed commerce and a large number of people who are separated from agricultural production rely on working for workshops and working hard on the canal.
The rebel army that arrived was the young and strong who made a living in the canal transportation, gathering many gangs, as well as rascals and desperadoes.
These people who live on the canal transportation often fight for the canal transportation business and resources, and are much more powerful and fierce than the general public's discipline.
This rebel army took the lead in charge, and the fishermen who were roaming around were brave enough to rush over with small boats, and ants attached to attack the various large ships.
Seeing that the situation was developing in an unfavorable direction, Bai Wenfu was about to rush forward, but suddenly he saw a young man jumping on his boat, dancing with two Miao swords, blending into the uninhabited realm, and coming to him.
Zhao Ming rushed onto a large ship coming towards him and killed all the Qing soldiers on the ship. The ship was parked on the water, and he was also trapped on the ship. When he was anxious, he saw a young man in his twenties jumping onto the ship of the Qing army commander, and his sword flew over and killed the Qing army.
He was very skillful in swordsmanship. He fought and attacked, and quickly turned his sword. The sword was turned with the people, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. The Qing army on the ship had no generals. The Qing soldiers in front of him were killed in a blink of an eye and rushed directly to the Qing army commander.
Bai Wenfu's face changed drastically, and he felt fear in his heart. He hurriedly wanted to retreat, but there was no way out on the boat. The young man forced his guard to retreat, and his body rushed to Bai Wenfu's body.
In panic, Bai Wenfu hurriedly drew his sword to resist. The young man held two swords and missed the attack. The other sword had already been picked up, leaving a hole on Bai Wenfu's body, which made him stagger and almost fell.
The young man did not give him a chance to breathe. He slashed with one knife, then slashed again and again, and in a moment he slashed Bai Wenfu four or five times. Finally, he jumped up and swept across, and beheaded Bai Wenfu.
The young and strong man grabbed his head, raised it high, and was majestic, and then shouted: "The enemy general died, and the murderer is the leader of the Songshan Hu!
