The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 474 Ambush (seeking monthly ticket)

Tu Hai is not a fool!

On the contrary, it is smart and tight.

He was afraid that he had wanted to cleanse the spies in the army a long time ago, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

Today, a spy happened to be caught, and then he had a plausible excuse.

Then, the cleaning begins!

Tu Hai probably never took the list given by the spies seriously.

Those who were cleaned off the account should all be suspected in Tu Hai's mind...

Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart, as expected he was still old.

Otherwise, it would not be impossible to understand such a little thing!
Seeing the lonely look on Hong Chengchou's face, Tu Hai spoke.

"Master Hong, go and rest!"

"And don't worry, no matter how hard the army investigates the spies, they won't be able to find Master Hong's side."

"Looking back, I'll ask someone to send Master Hong two sticks of old wild ginseng. Master Hong will take a good rest. Master Hong is still needed in the Qing Dynasty."

Hong Chengchou bowed slightly, and then spoke.

"Thank you, my lord, Governor!"

After all, Hong Chengchou withdrew from the big account.

Tuhai squinted his eyes and asked the soldiers beside him.

"Has everything been arranged properly?"

The soldier bowed slightly and spoke.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged!"

"If those water thieves dare to come and commit crimes tonight, they will all come and go!"

Tu Hai nodded slightly, then waved his hand to signal his own soldiers to retreat.

……

It was getting darker and darker, and there was silence in the Qing army camp.

In order to prevent chaos in the army, Tu Hai issued a curfew order after dark.

All the soldiers entered the military tents to rest, and no one was allowed to go out and make noise.

Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!

Even if someone wants to get up at night to relieve his hand, he must report to the police to get a waist card.

The only ones who could walk freely in the barracks were Tu Hai's personal supervisor team.

The quiet Qing army camp was set up in a long stretch along the canal.

In the canal, a large number of tank boats are moored densely.

The soldiers of the Qing army were not so kind as to set up tents for the water workers. The water workers basically used the sky as their quilt and the ground as their bed, and slept in the open space along the canal.

Those who have a little bit of connections can sleep on the boat.

Fortunately, it was summer now, and although the humidity was a little heavier when sleeping on the river bank, it was not unbearable.

Each tank boat is lit with torches and used as lights.

Looking down from the sky, the canal looks like the Milky Way above the nine heavens against the backdrop of the dots of light.

The stars are shining!
Whoa!

There was a slight splashing sound, and the wood pulp was slid.

Small boats appeared silently from the darkness, groping towards the Qing army transport fleet on the canal.

The fourth brother Li stood at the bow of the boat in a black night suit, looking in the direction of the Qing army fleet, with a serious expression on his face.

Wang Qunshan was also standing beside him, but his expression was excited.

Brother Li waved his hand, and several shirtless men dived into the water from the boat with short knives in their mouths.

Playing the role of a water ghost, he was ready to touch down the clear and dark whistle of the Qing army.

The rest of the large force continued to paddle forward.

Because those water ghosts reached out quickly and acted powerfully, they cleared the obstacles on the way forward for the large army.

They easily touched the side of the Qing army's fleet!
A group of people began to grope towards the Qing army's tank boat without any rules, turned over on board, entered the cabin, touched the guards, and then returned with the tank boat the same way...

The action is done in one go, quite slippery!
However, at this moment, with a bang, an arrow flew into the sky, and then exploded.

The bright light produced by the explosion of fireworks is very conspicuous!

In an instant, a large number of torches were lit, and the Qing army camp was brightly lit.

Teams of Eight Banners cavalry rushed out of the camp, and rode their horses towards the banks of the canal.

The cavalry roared past, bowing their bows and nodding their arrows.

The cavalry on horseback let out a strange cry!

Crash!
The sound of the bowstring chattering continued one after another.

Arrows were as dense as raindrops, shooting towards the water bandits in the middle of the canal.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

The sound of the arrow piercing through the flesh kept ringing, and people kept being hit by the arrow, making a hysterical scream.

As far as the current situation is concerned, these Eight Banners cavalry who have never been on the battlefield and have fought hard may not be very bloody, but their riding and shooting skills are not bad.

The arrows are quite accurate!
Their drills have not been wasted!

In just a moment of effort, Brother Li and Wang Qunshan's brothers suffered heavy losses.

They launched a counterattack, but with little effect.

Water bandits have scarce long-range attack weapons. Although they also have bows and arrows, most of them are hunting bows used by hunters.

Whether it is accuracy, range, or power, it is inferior to the war bows used by the Eight Banners of the Qing Army.

The water bandits shot back with sparse arrows, but it had no effect at all.

Either they simply missed the shot, or they were blocked by the armor of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army.

The water bandits are basically being beaten unilaterally!
During this process, people were constantly hit by the arrow rain, and then fell into the canal, their bodies heaving and falling under the impact of the waves.

The blood smeared and stained the river red.

Although in the dark, it is not so conspicuous.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Qing army galloping and throwing along the canal suddenly used rockets.

Arrows with flaming arrows shot towards the tank boats that were snatched by the water bandits.

And the cabins of those tank boats contained a large amount of flammable materials.

Such as cloth, oil, gunpowder...etc!

With a bang, a tank boat was set on fire.

The flames soared into the sky, and the deflagration flames instantly illuminated most of the canal.

Many water bandits were burning with flames, screaming and jumping from the boat into the canal.

"withdraw!"

"Get out!"

Brother Li held up his shield to protect his vitals.

His face was quite ugly, he knew that he and others had been tricked and ambushed.

With a loud shout, he wanted to lead people to evacuate.

The Qing army continued to rain arrows!
Arrows were nailed to the shield and the side of the boat, making a clicking sound.

The water bandit fleet began to escape along the canal, but the Qing cavalry along the canal pursued closely.

The speed of the war horse is much faster than the speed of the ship!
They can't get rid of the pursuers at all!
Seeing the people beside him who were shot to death tragically by arrows, Brother Li's heart ached.

These are all old brothers who have been with him for many years!

Some water bandits disliked rowing too slowly, so they plunged into the water, ready to swim and run away.

However, the Qing army's arrow rain is still going on!

Arrows shot into the water one after another, leaving very obvious traces.

From time to time, when people surfaced to take a breath, they were shot by arrows and died tragically on the spot.

The cavalry of the Qing army galloped back and forth, chasing and killing the fleeing water bandits heartily.

The neighing of war horses, the trembling of bowstrings, and the screams of people... rang out all night!

It wasn't until dawn that the Qing army's horses ran out of strength, so Tu Hai ordered the troops to withdraw.

……

The sky is pale, the sun rises and the moon sets.

The earth is bright!
Hong Chengchou was supported and came to the embankment of the Grand Canal, overlooking the direction of the river.

The river, which could not be seen at a glance, was now full of dead bodies.

The traces of large patches of blood smudged in the water are very eye-catching.

The fish in the canal are fighting each other and eating the corpses...

In addition, there are several burning wrecks of tank boats floating on the water.

Tu Hai squinted his eyes, glanced at Hong Chengchou beside him, and said.

"Did Master Hong rest well last night?"

Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"not bad!"

"Falling to sleep listening to the screams of thieves is the best sleep aid."
