Chapter 203 Fishing

"Master, these turrets are like that, and they are completely in a good way. Look! Our forward has entered the river, and this is a good opportunity. If you enter the Yongjiang River and go upstream, you can directly reach the outside of Ningbo. At that time, shelling Ningbo will be a great achievement! It would be even better if you can take advantage of the situation to take Ningbo. At that time..." The deputy general said next to Lan Yanzhen, looking extremely excited. In his opinion, the Yongjiang defense line is equal to nothing. At this time, if you don't take advantage of the situation to go straight into Yongjiang and attack the Ningbo city in one breath, then when will you wait?

But before he finished speaking, Lan Yanzhen swept his sharp eyes at him and swallowed the words at his mouth.

"Idiot!" Lan Yanzhen sneered, pointing to the cannons that were still firing randomly and said, "The thief clearly wants to lead our army into the trap. Do you think the thief is all fools? Even an idiot can shoot the cannons like this with such a big turret? Don't forget why the Fujian Navy was gone at that time. You have also experienced the thief's navy. Do you seem to be able to shoot cannons?"

Lan Yanzhen's words stunned everyone and immediately understood everything. Lan Yanzhen was right. Zhu Yicheng's Ming army has always been well-trained, which is the biggest difference from other rebels, both in the army and in the navy. What's more, most of the Fujian Navy joined the Ming army after the collapse of Ningbo, including many of the generals who are independent in the Ming army are the officers of the Fujian Navy.

Lan Yanzhen's joint navy had fought with the Ming army's navy. Of course they knew how powerful the other party was. In this case, such an important fortification in the Yongjiang Fort would put a group of people who would not be able to shoot cannons at all? This was impossible! So there was only one reason, that was, the other party deliberately made a fuss and tried to use this method to attract Lan Yanzhen to the bait.

Thinking of this, the sweat from the forehead of the deputy general who was speaking in front suddenly came down. If he followed his advice just now, it wouldn't it be like seeking death?

Although the Yongjiang River is wide, don’t forget that it is a river rather than a sea. After entering the river, the waterway in front becomes narrower and narrower. More than 100 warships from the joint fleet pour into the Yongjiang River. At that time, they will be live targets when crowded on the river. Once the turrets on both sides begin to show their power, the warships will not even have the chance to turn around and run away.

"This...Master, send a signal to the front ship to come back quickly. If it is closed..." Speaking of this, the deputy general felt that the wording was inappropriate, so he quickly whipped himself in the face and changed his words: "If the brothers who were attacked by the front ship will be all over!"

"What's the hurry! Isn't it still fine now?" Lan Yanzhen said slowly, and at the same time, he picked up the Qianli Milestone in his hand and looked at Yongjiang for a while, and then said: "Continue to send six express ships and three warships over. Remember not to start with the speed too fast, and accelerate after entering the river mouth."

"Master, are you thinking..." Hearing this, the deputy general was stunned. Didn't you, Lan Yanzhen, just now saying that this is the enemy's plan to lure the enemy? Why are you going to send a warship again in a blink of an eye?

"Have you caught fish?" Lan Yanzhen answered the question irrelevantly, but instead asked something that seemed to be unrelated.

"The humble position... the humble position has never had such a good atmosphere on weekdays." The deputy general said a little embarrassedly. He was not a civil servant, nor a fisherman. A dignified deputy general is also a senior officer. His biggest preference is to drink, eat meat and play with women on weekdays. Where do you get this hobby?

It seemed that there was no expectation for the deputy general to answer this question at all. Lan Yanzhen said to herself: "When a person fishes, the fish needs to eat bait, but when this fish eats bait, it also needs to test it. He opens and closes his lips to swallow the bait. If the person on the shore only sees the float sinking and pulls the rod quickly, the fish will have already escaped. But if he keeps leaving it alone and expects it to be sure, the fish will take this opportunity to eat the bait and leave its hook. The fisherman will only find that the hook is eaten on the bait but is eaten. Therefore, fishing is a game between people and fish. It depends on who has patience and who can seize the right opportunity. The winner is in a moment."

"I understand! The Grandmaster understood this when he said that Beizhi, the Grandmaster means that we want to be the fish that eats bait..." As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy general slapped himself again and quickly changed his words: "No, no, Dazhi, you are the fisherman. The ship released was just a bait. The Grandmaster wants this bait to remove the big fish of the rebel! Gao! The Grandmaster's move is Gao, and Beizhi is admired by all means..."

Seeing that the fort was planned, Lan Yanzhen was preparing to use the plan and used the other party's intention to lure the main force of his fleet into Yongjiang in this way to decide to play with the other party. Yongjiang directly leads to Ningbo. As long as the time is determined, Lan Yanzhen's front ship can rush to Ningbo city and directly shell Ningbo. Not to mention how much damage such a shelling will bring to Ningbo, but the significance of doing so is extremely great.

Ningbo is Zhu Yicheng's old nest. Even if Zhu Yicheng has established his capital in Nanjing now, Ningbo's status is still no less important than Nanjing. What's more important is that once Ningbo is directly attacked by artillery fire, it can not only hit the morale of the other party, but also greatly encourage the morale of the Qing army. Isn't your Zhu Yicheng's navy very powerful? Don't you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command? But even so, I, Lan Yanzhen, can attack your most important city and make you afraid of the mouse.

As expected, when the Joint Fleet sent out six express ships and three warships, a total of nine ships heading towards Yongjiang, Boss Lu on the other side of the fort was not sure what to do.

"Boss, look, this Qingdog is here again, how can you beat him? Or let them go?"

"My grandma! What kind of tricks do you do in your Qing? Why do you get into your pockets? Can't you be more comfortable?" Boss Lu cursed after seeing it. Lan Yanzhen's fleet had hundreds of ships, and now only a dozen ships were sent out. What's even more hateful is that only two of these ships were warships, and the other six were just small clutches, just like the ones that were deliberately released just now.

These things are like idiots. If Lu Boss had read the Three Kingdoms, he would definitely be like Cao Cao who was like "It's a pity to eat without taste and throw it away." Unfortunately, he is a rude man. Although he feels the same as Cao Cao, he can't speak that kind of literary words.

"Let me think about it... let me think about it first..." Boss Lu was very embarrassed for a moment. It was very easy to fight, but the fleet that killed the dogs would definitely refuse to come again. Seeing the black ships floating on the sea, it was a military achievement for Boss Lu! But if he didn't fight, then let them in? What if the other party repeats the same trick again? Is this going to fight or not?

At this moment, Boss Lu was like a gambler on the gambling table. He had just won the game and the other party bet again. He took good cards and looked at the other party's chips piled up on the table. He felt that the idea of ​​winning was as if he could win a little more, and he was very entangled for a while.

"Boss! Qinggou's ship is almost at range. Liu Mazi on the other side sends a signal to ask you!" After thinking for a while, he has not made up his mind, but time has not waited for anyone. In a blink of an eye, the nine ships of the Qing army were almost at the mouth of the river, and a brother urged him urgently.

"Fight... no! Don't beat! Tell Liu Mazi that the big meat is still behind, let them go, wait, wait and see..." Boss Lu finally made up his mind in all his wrestling. After ordering, Liu Mazi on the opposite side received a signal and said he knew, and the several turrets behind him also sent messages to express his understanding.

Next, just as before, the sound of cannons on both sides of the straits rumbling, and the river surface was filled with splashes of spurs aroused by cannons, but it did not cause any losses to the enemy ships on the river surface. The nine clutches and warships passed through the river mouth safely at a speed slower than before, and gradually headed into the river.

"All ships obey orders!" When these nine ships entered the river and suddenly increased their speed and rushed inward, Lan Yanzhen on the sea ordered: "The entire fleet formed an assault formation, and the target Jiangkou! Be careful! Don't be fast, slow! At the same time, open all the artillery doors and the turrets on both sides of the target, and fight for me lively. The more lively the fight, the better!"

After giving the order, Lan Yanzhen had a sneer on the corner of her mouth. As he said before, he was the fisherman now, or the fish that was about to eat the bait on the hook. While calculating the time, he directed the fleet to adjust its formation on the sea surface. The entire fleet was posing as if he forcibly broke into the mouth of the Yongjiang River.

"Here's here! The big meat is finally here. I can really eat meat this time!" Seeing this scene, Lu Boss was happy and asked his brothers to prepare. As long as the enemy's main fleet entered Yongjiang, the giant cannon on his fort can really eat meat. In this battle, dozens of warships on the opponent must be sunk. Then, let alone a hundred households, he might be able to directly promote a thousand households with this skill.

But for some reason, Lan Yanzhen's fleet adjusted its formation very slowly. After half an hour of tossing and setting up the formation, it then slowly came towards the mouth of Yongjiang River. As we approached, the warships in front fired their cannons first. The range of those naval guns was not as good as that of the giant cannons of the turret. Now Lan Yanzhen's joint fleet has not even reached the range of the cannons of the cannons of the cannons of the cannons, let alone obtaining the cannons.

The hundreds of guns were fired, and the shooting was extremely lively, but the cannon even fell into the water surface of the river estuary without any injuries. The water curtains were aroused, as if they were engaged in an extremely fierce battle. Just as Boss Lu and Liu Mazi were patiently waiting for the other party to enter the range, the opponent's front ship suddenly stopped near the range, and then made a big circle to the left and right. The warships behind were the same. The battleships seemed to have agreed, just not entering the range of the turret.

"What is this Qing Dog doing?" Boss Lu was stunned. He didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but suddenly a dull sound came from the south. He subconsciously turned around and immediately woke up, slapped himself hard, and shouted in a hurry: "Mom Xipi! I'm fooled, send a message to my brothers behind me, hurry up! Fire up! Sink all the ships that I just put out!"
