Ming Kingdom: The Wind Rises in Liaodong Chapter 90 Saving Private Huang Stone (2)

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the camp of Liushakou.

Jiannu, who had rested for half an hour, attacked again. In this round of offensive, the blue flag, the blue flag, the white flag, the yellow flag, and the flag of the yellow flag led by Huang Taiji have all been displayed in Huang Stone's telescope.

Based on the information on the interrogation of prisoners and seizures after the war, we note that in order to uproot Changsheng Island, which had always threatened the right flank, the Houjin mobilized more than 70 cattle in one go, and the number of combatants reached or approached 4,000 - which was already a terrible proportion in the Houjin armed forces. Fortunately, in the face of the Changsheng Island Army, which is known for its bravery and tenacity, the Jiannu from the Five Banners not only did not give full play to their numerical advantage, but because they conserved each other's strength, they caused many attacks to become refueling tactics, and did not invest enough elite troops at one time.

This changed after the arrival of Huang Taiji himself. After the Houjin Khan Banner appeared in the binoculars, the Jiannu reorganized for half an hour, put in more than three hundred white armor at a time, and gradually approached the camp under the cover of the shield cart.

Just as the White Armor Legion began to attack, the hot air balloon that took off from Changsheng Island finally floated slowly above the battlefield of Liushakou by relying on the west wind.

The hot air balloon flying at an altitude of more than 200 meters made the Jiannu people extremely frightened. The whites on the front line were fine, they didn't have time to pay attention to the top of their heads. However, the seven or eight hundred ordinary Jiannu who followed them were in a serious panic, a large number of people knelt down and prayed, and a few even turned around and ran, and were captured or killed on the spot by the Baijia Governor team in the rear.

There is only one company of hot air balloons stationed on Changsheng Island, and all three hot air balloons were dispatched this time. In fact, as early as mid-March, Lieutenant Cho Ji-myung, an aviation expert who graduated from the Jeju Army School, arrived at Changsheng Island with a hot air balloon company composed entirely of Ao-Song people. For the past two months, Zhao Zhiming has been taking his subordinates to record the wind direction and weather patterns in southern Liaoning, and quietly trying to fly over the city of Fuzhou under Jiannu's control at night.

At this moment, Zhao Zhiming, who was flying above the camp at the mouth of the quicksand, looked down. More than 20 wooden shield carts slowly approached the gap in the camp under the impetus of the white armor soldiers, and from time to time white smoke erupted from outside the shield carts, which were hidden behind the shield carts and were firing. This war machine, which was widely crafted and used by the Later Jin, was made of wood, covered with soaked cowhide, and reinforced with sandbags, which could withstand the Ming army's bird guns in twenty or thirty paces. If you use the three-eyed gun like a toy like the Ming Army, it can't be broken by sticking to your face.

Huang Sitong's unit came to carry out a sneak attack this time, so he did not carry heavy weapons. In addition to the four tiger squat cannons, the only thing that could threaten the shield cart from a safe distance was the twenty turtledove foot guns kept in the Rock Camp.

Zhao Zhiming quietly looked down. As Jiannu gradually approached the camp, the soldiers of the Rock Battalion who were lying in ambush behind the camp immediately flashed out of the gap and pulled the trigger on the shield cart that was close at hand. Immediately, several shield wagons that were at the forefront blew up a cloud of sawdust and dust, which turned into fragments under the blow of bullets. More than a dozen white-armored soldiers at the back of the shield cart fell in response, and the armor they had befriended was as fragile as tissue paper under the blow of about 68 grams of lead bullets.

Several Tiger Squat cannons camouflaged under the dust and planks also opened fire at close range, smashing several shield carts into a blur of flesh along with the Houjin soldiers in the rear.

But that's about it. The standard flintlock pistols of our army equipped on Immortal Island do nothing against these thick-skinned vehicles. If it were our national defense forces facing them, these slow-moving shield vehicles would have been targeted by the field artillery that coordinated the operation. And here in Huang Stone, who lacks heavy weapons, he can only use the flesh of a soldier to carry it.

As the rest of the shield carts advanced to the trench outside the camp, the white armorers, who had already gathered momentum, let out a roar, pushed the shield cart into the trench, and then stepped on the trench filled by the corpses and the shield cart to charge. Armed with primitive arquebuses and white armor carrying guns, they fired at close range, shooting face-to-face with the soldiers of Changsheng Island who were deployed in the gap, and fell together in a blur of smoke. The rest of the white armor was lined up in small formations, with spears in the front row and swords wielding knives in the back, pouring into the camp from several gaps at once.

Zhao Zhiming estimated the flight speed, felt the wind speed, and finally said: "Start dropping bombs!" ”

"Start dropping bombs!"

"Start dropping bombs!"

The soldiers in the balloon repeated the order one by one and passed it on to the other balloon through the flag. A few seconds later, a batch of bombs in canisters was dropped and smashed straight at the shield cart approaching the camp.

Naturally, the clay pot dropped from the air at 200 meters could not accurately hit the target. Fortunately, all the pilots were highly trained, and the shield vehicle was extremely slow, so they were able to drop bombs within a radius of at least three or four meters.

The moment the clay pot shattered, dozens of sparks lit up on the ground. Of course, this "spark" is only so in the opinion of the pilots. The post-gold and white armor near the clay pot saw the fire that enveloped them. The clay pots were filled with napalm shipped from Taiwan. Gasoline modified with natural rubber is extremely sticky, and even if a spark the size of a finger is contaminated on the body, it will quickly spread all over the body under the victim's slapping, turning the unfortunate target into a walking torch.

The well-organized attack was quickly disrupted, and a dozen or so backing vehicles were attacked a few feet from the trench. The raging flames forced the Jiannu out and exposed them to the guns of the soldiers of Immortal Island behind the camp.

Two miles away from the camp at Liushakou, several people on tall horses were looking at the battlefield with monoculars.

Zhao Zhiming had already noticed the people in the distance. They are watching themselves, and they are watching them. Through the lens of the telescope, Zhao Zhiming adjusted the magnification of the telescope to the maximum, and said the appearance characteristics of those people in his mouth, so that the soldiers next to him could write it down.

Zhao Zhiming noticed that the people seemed to be arguing about something. Due to the distance, Zhao Zhiming could barely see a big man in blue armor waving his hands, and he was quite emotional. He sighed and raised his middle finger with his right hand to that side, swinging it up and down. He felt that Jiannu's telescope would definitely not be able to see his gestures, and he couldn't even see if he was looking at them.

"Comrades, I have sent warmth to the senior officials of Jiannu in the past!"

————————————————

At five o'clock in the evening, it was not yet dark. Twilight has appeared in the eastern sky, and there is still a bright light in the west. The sky was a nice, soft white, gradually changing to the middle of the sky, then to a clear blue, and gradually transitioning to the pale black of the eastern sky.

Blowing by the sea breeze, I arrived at Changsheng Island with the 4th Infantry Battalion of the 1st Regiment. At this time, Changsheng Island was already full of people, the independent cavalry battalion of Dengzhou Town had arrived a few hours earlier, and now that the mounts had been fed, the cavalry was having dinner in the fortress on the coast.

After getting off the flying clipping boat, I met Zhao Slowxiong, the commander of the firefighting battalion, He Baodao, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Zhu Guobin, the commander of the cavalry battalion in Dengzhou Town, who stayed on Changsheng Island. In addition, there was also Air Force Lieutenant Zhao Zhiming, who had just returned from the Liushakou battlefield, and he rushed to report the situation as soon as he got off the hot air balloon, and he didn't even eat lunch and dinner.

"The battle situation is very urgent, Lieutenant Colonel Huang is firmly surrounded by nearly 4,000 Jiannu, and it is impossible to break through on his own. The Yellow Department was extremely short of heavy weapons, and the camp was broken through in many places, and the elite white armor of Jiannu broke into the village several times, and it was in danger. ”

After reading the report submitted by Zhao Zhiming, I looked at the weather forecaster on Changsheng Island.

"There is a high probability that it will be sunny in the next two days." He said.
