Chapter 456

Qin Huan knew that if he wanted to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, the navy in the south of the Yangtze River would never get around, and he would not allow the people in the city to escape by boat. Although he could run away, the monk could not run away from the temple, it was too troublesome.

Therefore, the first battle to attack Nanjing was the naval battle. In fact, although there are thousands of warships in Nanjing, they can really be called warships. There are hundreds of threatening ships. As long as the more than 100 large ships with more than 200 loads are dried up and sunk, the rest will be scattered as birds and animals.

The main warships of the Chinese Navy also had nearly a hundred, but each bow deck was equipped with a launcher. Recently, the craftsmen rushed out nearly a thousand rockets, and Qin Huan gave them all to the Navy.

The rocket was made in Taihu County. After it was transported to Nanjing, it was directly filled with gunpowder. In order to hurry, the style was still Raytheon 1.

Ten days after the siege of Nanjing, hundreds of warships of the Chinese army, escorted by countless small boats, were killing towards the river to the north of Nanjing.

These days, the river surface dozens of miles up and down Nanjing was firmly controlled by the navy of the Ming army, so when I learned that the navy of the Chinese army was attacking, I also poured out and prepared to fight to the death.

As soon as the two sides fought, hundreds of warships of the Chinese Army aimed at the more than 100 warships of the Ming army. The artillery placed on the deck of both sides roared wildly, and the small boats were tangled with each other to fight.

The rumble of guns and shouts of killing made it clear to the people in Nanjing. With the war ships of both sides chasing each other and drawing closer to within 300 meters, the Chinese warships finally launched the killer mace on the deck.

For a time, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air everywhere, and white smoke sped past. A scene that made people's scalp numb was intertwined on the river. With a loud noise, the Navy warships of the Ming army were bombed with sawdust and screamed repeatedly.

Although the power of rocket explosion is not large, it can not stand a large number. In particular, some warships are forced to launch within a hundred steps in spite of artillery fire.

After some eight rockets were launched, five or six of them were nailed to the ship's side. The position close to the water has the greatest lethality. Almost all of them can blow a big hole in the side and let the river water pour into the ship's hull.

An hour after the battle, more than 100 warships of the Ming army suffered heavy losses. More than 30 warships were sunk, and the rest were riddled with holes and fled downstream. Large warships fled, and small boats naturally slipped away. The whole river was full of broken boards, corpses and struggling sailors.

Two small warships of the Chinese army were also sunk, and the rest were more or less hit by one or two shells. Qin Huan didn't care about the lost boats less than 100 loads.

If it had not been for the naval warfare of this era, he would not have made so many messy boats to fight.

Regardless of the enemy or ourselves, almost all the people who fell into the water were rescued by Chinese boats, and even the bodies floating on the river were salvaged.

When the people in the city saw that their biggest reliance on the Navy had been defeated and fled, they all turned pale. Zuo Liangyu was also frightened and gave birth to a heart of surrender. The second childe of Wu was full of pain and despair.

"Husband, in any case, my family is willing to follow me to the death!" The concubine beside Mr. Wu seemed to see his pain. She held his hand tightly and comforted him. It was the brothel woman who recognized Xiao Xinru as a man at the gate of Nanzhang county.

"Heaven has no eyes!" The second childe of Wu roared up to the sky, and his hatred had reached the point where he couldn't vent.

His parents, wife and sister all died at the hands of the Qin thief. It's hateful that they were so deeply avenged by blood. Not only can they not repay them in this life, but the Qin thief is likely to win the world. Thinking of this, a mouthful of blood spewed out and passed out.

At this time, marshal Zuo could not care about the life and death of his brother Wu Xiandi. He returned to marshal's house with a heavy face. After thinking about it, he secretly sent a confidant out of the city to find Qin Huan.

Because from the beginning to the end, he knew that there was no point in sticking to Nanjing. He just wanted to drag the world until the situation changed. In addition, he could escape in a navy warship at any time, so he decided to stick to it.

Now the only way to live is blocked by the Chinese Navy, and the other three sides have already been surrounded. Even under the protection of his confidants, he can successfully break through the encirclement, but what if he escapes without soldiers and horses? Where can you escape?

So as long as king Nahua is willing to accept his surrender and the treatment is acceptable, he will not hesitate to open the city and surrender.

Marshal Zuo was far from the only one who wanted to surrender. Qian Qianyi and other gentlemen of the Donglin Party also wrote hard at home. First, they tried their best to praise King Qin, and then said that they could be insiders, contact others, open the city gate and welcome the Chinese army into the city.

In this way, only a water war was fought, and the military and civilian officials in Nanjing lost the slightest resistance.

When night fell, Qin Huan was not surprised by the countless messengers who secretly asked to see outside the camp. At this stage, if there were no people in the city who wanted to surrender, he would be surprised.

To his surprise, Zuo Liangyu didn't run away this time.

"Come on, what conditions did Zuo Liangyu put forward?"

Qin Huan didn't want to see other messengers at all, but Zuo Liangyu's messengers still wanted to see them. After all, Zuo Liangyu would surrender and he could win Nanjing without blood.

"My commander said that as long as king Hua can ensure the safety of the soldiers and the people in the city, he is willing to open the gate unconditionally and obey King Hua!"

"Hehe, he is also a wise man. He knows he is not qualified to talk to the king about conditions, but when did he Zuo Liangyu become so fond of soldiers and people?"

Qin Huan laughed and then sneered. Zuo Liangyu made it clear that he wanted to win another good name. He really laughed to death.

He was embarrassed and didn't dare to answer Qin Huan's words.

"Go back and tell Zuo Liangyu to open the city gate tomorrow, leave 10000 people to maintain order in the city, and control those who want to control. Other people and horses leave the city from the South City in turn, and weapons are stacked outside the city. If there is any trouble, there is no need to surrender."

Qin Huan waved.

The visitor was very happy. He hugged his fist quickly, then left quickly. Although Qin Huan didn't give any promise, as long as he was willing to accept the surrender, he would basically not embarrass the commander, or even seal an official. Otherwise, what would people think of him in the future?

Zuo Liangyu naturally understood this superficial truth, so when the people to be sent returned, they were also very relieved. Immediately, they began to dispatch troops and make arrangements. At the first time, they tied up the sleeping son Wu and his concubine, and then personally took people to the palace.

You can only blame the second childe Wu for his cheap mouth. He talks about his deep blood feud with King Qin every day. Now commander Zuo wants to surrender. He is willing to let him go and let him escape. He is also worried that insiders will report to Qin Huan.
