Chapter four hundred and thirteen sink it
If Huang Binqing ordered a retreat at this time, he would actually have a chance to break through.
After all, the navy brought by Wu Zheng was inferior to the Zhoushan Navy in terms of number of people and ships, which was like surrounding the superior forces with disadvantaged forces. It was almost impossible to annihilate them.
But Huang Binqing made a wrong decision. He was also a veteran. He joined the suffocation of the She'an Rebellion and was promoted to the Chief of the Tongshan Rebellion. Later, he was the Duke of Xuanfu, Fujian Fubiao guerrillas. He fought with the Red Hair (Dutch) in Fujian, attacked the pirate Liu Xiang, participated in the Zhang Puwei Rebellion and quelled the rebellion. In the late Chongzhen period, he joined the general of Ningshaotai, led the navy to the capital of Zhoushan, and became the deputy general, and finally promoted to the general.
Therefore, the battlefield is more like a stage for him.
How can an actor be willing to escape from the stage?
After observing the battlefield, Huang Binqing immediately ordered the army to scatter, approach the enemy fleet at a high speed, and then attack the enemy with artillery.
This order is beyond reproach, both theoretically and practically.
Faced with the disadvantage of artillery range, such a strategy of receiving enemies should be said to be correct.
If it was not the Ming dragon flag flying on the Wu Zheng Navy ship at this time, perhaps the soldiers of Zhoushan Navy could still cheer up their morale and fight hard, but they found that they were fighting against the imperial navy, so who would have the morale to fight to the death?
Of course, if this is the only way, the navy soldiers would not be enough to disobey Huang Binqing's general order.
Therefore, Huang Binqing's seemingly correct order directly led to the instant collapse of Zhoushan Navy.
Because although soldiers obey the general's orders, they are limited to the generals in front of each other.
Huang Binqing ordered the troops to scatter and fight on their own, which was equivalent to directly giving up his command of the general.
If this is a good thing when facing the Tartars, the soldiers share the same hatred of the enemy, but when facing the imperial navy, a river of spring water flows eastward.
With just one incense stick, countless ships floated white flags and left the battlefield.
This scene made Huang Binqing, who was originally confident and eager to defeat Wu Zhengyi for his previous shame, almost vomited blood.
The defeat was like a mountain of fallen, and the overall situation was decided after a stick of incense. Huang Binqing had to lose his car and protect his commander and ordered the remnants to return south to break through.
But the problem is that the distance was approaching at this time and he was bitten by the imperial navy.
Both sides fled and chased, and Zhoushan Navy ships continued to surrender.
When they arrived at the Shangyu waters, there were only more than one hundred warships left by Huang Binqing.
At this time, the appearance of more than 100 warships led by Chen Sheng was equivalent to verdicting Huang Binqing's defeat.
The remnants of Huang Binqing who were surrounded by tightly were still weak.
Faced with the attacks between the north and the south, the ships on the periphery began to take the initiative to stay away from Huang Binqing's ships and chose to surrender to the court.
But Huang Binqing refused to surrender. In fact, he knew that when he surrendered at this time, he had lost the bargaining chips to bargain with the court, and there was only a dead end to wait for him.
Instead of dying on the guillotine, it is better to fight to the death.
The ships of dozens of warships were spitting flames on the side, but the problem was that the range was not enough to reach the imperial navy.
Wu Zheng looked at him silently with the telescope that Mo Zhengnian gave him.
He felt a sense of regret in his heart, and at the same time he was also waiting, waiting for an opportunity to minimize the losses of Zhoushan Navy as much as possible.
And this opportunity finally came.
When Zhang Mingzhen led dozens of ships coming from Zhoushan, as well as the head-on main ship, appeared in the east water together.
The navy soldiers all understood that the old nest was no longer insured.
At this time, a team of warships also appeared in the waters in the south, and the flags on the ships indicated that this was the Ming army from Lihai.
Being surrounded on three sides, even the confidant on Huang Binqing's main ship began to quietly choose to leave.
Huang Binqing finally couldn't resist it anymore, so he began to drop the boat and wanted to ask for peace.
At this time, Wu Zheng slowly put away his telescope.
"Transfer this order to sink Huang Binqing's ship."
After a series of cannons, countless water columns emerged from the water surface around Huang Binqing's ship.
Huang Binqing instantly understood his ending. It had nothing to do with it. Even if he led the navy to invade the waters of Hangzhou, it was because every man was innocent and guilty of possessing a treasure. He rushed out of the cabin angrily, ran to the head of the ship, and shouted loudly in the direction of Wu Zheng.
No one could hear what he was scolding.
A solid bullet penetrated the ship's side with scratches visible to the naked eye.
Immediately afterwards, shells continued to hit and fired continuously.
In a short while, Huang Binqing's ship was in full view of the public. The fires soared into the sky, slowly tilted, and then sank.
....
"Sir, how can you do?" Chen Sheng, whose eyes were a little wet, bowed to Wu Zheng and said, but he had not seen him for several months. During the encirclement of the Qing army, Chen Sheng was under heavy psychological pressure.
Now seeing Wu Zheng is like seeing relatives and reliance.
Wu Zheng stepped forward, held Chen Sheng's left arm, hugged him lightly, "I'm fine. You're here at the right time."
Patting Chen Sheng's shoulder, Wu Zheng pulled him to sit down at the bow.
Song An and his personal guards isolated countless generals who came to Wu Zheng.
"Is Lihai okay? Is Fang Guoan still safe?"
Chen Sheng wiped away the wetness at the corners of his eyes without a trace and replied: "The thousands of imperial guards left by the supervisor have been reorganized. Although some middle and lower-level officers have been making trouble, they have been settled over time. After all, Lihai is surrounded by the Qing army, and he can still share the same hatred for the enemy. As for Fang Guoan, how dare he cause trouble for us? He has already huddled in Shaoxing Prefecture City, and I am afraid that he will not even dare to leave the city gate, for fear that the people of Shaoxing Prefecture will tear him apart."
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "This is what he deserves. What he should worry about is how he should die if Shaoxing Mansion is restored in the future." Speaking of this, Wu Zheng had already curled his smile and his eyes became fierce. "At least half of Zhang Guowei and Zhang Gong's death should be counted on his head."
Chen Shengdao: "What the sir said is. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"After the lord left Lihai, Fang Guoan did something strange."
"Strange things? How to make a strange trick?"
"Fang Guoan sent a team of people to stay in Shining Town. When his subordinates heard about it, they were worried that Fang Guoan would be unfavorable to the farmers left by Wuzhuang..."
"He dares?!" Wu Zheng's face was a little ferocious, "If he dares to do this evil thing, even if it causes another war between the north and the south, I will take this opportunity to regain Shaoxing and kill him."
Chen Sheng hurriedly explained: "What the subordinates said is that the army sent by Fang Guoan was stationed in Shining Town. They did not disturb the people and loot like other Qing troops. Instead, they patrolled between Shining Town and Wuzhuang every day."
Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "What do Fang Guoan want to do? He wants to use Wuzhuang to threaten me? It's ridiculous!"
Chen Shengdao: "It shouldn't be the case. The judgment of his subordinates is more like protecting Wuzhuang."
Wu Zheng was stunned, "Is this possible? What exactly does he want to do? Is he trying to please me?"
"This... it's hard for my subordinates to judge."
