The Later Jin army arrived at Ningyuan on the 28th of the first lunar month, and decided to attack Juehua Island on the 30th after resting for a day on the 29th.

Huang Taiji was still a little uneasy, and was ready to go to see the situation of the Ming army in person on the 29th. However, on the night of the 28th, Nurhachi received news that the Ming army had launched an attack on the Dongjiang River and southern Liaoning, and that Haizhou Yuetuo's messenger said that if the Ming army continued to attack the city, Haizhou could hold on for a maximum of ten days. And the messenger with the blue flag brought even worse news: Mao Wenlong had captured Xin'an Fort and was attacking Caohe Fort.

This made Nurhachi panic, Haizhou was okay to say, but as soon as Caohe Fort was lost, Hetuara was under the front of the Ming army. Hetuala, as the capital of the Later Jin, must not be lost.

Nurhachi was worried that Hetuala would be attacked, and was reluctant to get the grain and grass and other materials on Juehua Island, so he decided to add fifteen Niu Lu of Zhenghuang Banner to Huang Taiji, and captured Juehua Island on the 29th, and then the armies quickly retreated and went to rescue Liaonan and Hetuala, leaving a small number of troops to supervise the transportation of supplies by the people.

On the morning of the 29th, after the Houjin army had breakfast, two white flags, 20 cattle records with yellow flags, and 15 cattle records with yellow flags, with a total of more than 10,000 armor soldiers and more than 8,000 remaining soldiers, began to attack Juehua Island.

The weather was already cold, especially in the morning. It took more than an hour for the Houjin soldiers to reach the place where Juehua Island was carved into ice. Although the Ming army did not chisel the ice, it still made some potholes, Huang Taiji carefully observed, confirmed that the Ming army really wanted to chisel the ice, and his heart settled down a little.

Two hours later, the Houjin soldiers finally came to Juehua Island. Huang Taiji looked at the one-foot-high ice wall and cursed wildly in his heart. It is impossible for the Houjin army to go so far with siege equipment, to deal with the ice wall, either people climb the wall, or attack from a small opening, no matter what method is used, it is needless to say that the loss will be very large.

Huang Taiji tidied up the formation five hundred steps outside the ice wall and ate something. Then he ordered his Gushan Ezhen Namtai to attack the small openings between the ice walls with a white flag, Azig to climb the ice wall with two yellow flags, and Dudu's inlaid white flag as a reserve, ready to attack at any time.

The most difficult to attack is obviously Xiaokouzi, but it is conceivable that behind the mouth is the main force of the Ming army, and this arrangement is very satisfactory to both Azig and Dudu.

It was already noon, and the Houjin army finally began to attack. Namutai took the white armor in double armor as the striker, and directly attacked the mouth of the ice wall.

Zhao Shujiao has been waiting for a long time, he watched the whole team of Jiannu from Xiaokouzi, and his heart was itching, he was now the deputy division commander, otherwise he would have been killed with a spear.

When Namtai was still four hundred paces from the mouth, he gave the order to open fire. The nine-pound cannon has a firing range of more than 400 to 500 steps, and now it is used for flat shooting, and after the shell lands, it can also slide a long distance on the smooth ice, and a shell can clear a way.

Seeing that the effect was so good, Zhao Shujiao shouted: "Push it out, change the chain bullets, and shoot me on both sides." ”

The effect of chain bullets is better, there is an iron chain between the two iron balls, and after hitting it, a wide path is cleared. Zhao led people to move out all the chain bullets and specially use the chain bullets to attack Jiannu.

Namtai has suffered a big loss now, the first person who comes into contact with the chain bullet will have rotten skin and fractures, and the most annoying thing is that it will continue to slide forward, killing and injuring people on the road, and in the end there is not much speed, and it will also trip people on the ice. A lucky chain bullet kills and injures more than a dozen people without any problem, and it will also bring a few Houjin soldiers to the ground by the way.

And since the artillery was fired in all directions, the two yellow flags that Azig was carrying also suffered. The artillery on the ice was much more powerful, which was not expected by the Guards.

Zhao Shujiao felt that as long as there were enough nine-pound cannons, then it was completely possible to keep Jiannu out of the ice wall with only artillery. It's a pity that although the second division has two artillery battalions, the number of artillery is limited after all, and it is not possible to arrange the artillery on the ice wall one by one, so the Houjin soldiers who rushed to the ice wall still have to rely on infantry to deal with it.

Under the double blow of artillery and firearms, the brave Houjin armor soldiers could only fall on the way to charge with hatred, and personal martial arts can really be said to be vulnerable in front of firearms, Zhao Shujiao looked at the Houjin soldiers who fell to the ground, and his heart was both happy and a little sad.

Huang Taiji was extremely resentful when he found that the charge of the Houjin soldiers had only been a one-sided massacre, and he felt that only by letting the soldiers charge faster than the intensity of the shells and bullets could he break through the guards. He believed that when the two armies were close together, it would not be easy for the power of firearms to be brought into play.

He ordered the reserves with white flags to attack at once, wanting to open a passage with human lives, and he said to Dudu: "Let the soldiers separate when they charge, and do not gather together, so that the damage of the shells will be less." Rush forward in one go, don't hesitate, you can't occupy Juehua Island today, everyone has to explain here. ”

Du Du also suffered the loss of the Guards' firearms, of course, he knew that attacking slowly was to give the Guards a head, and he said to the Gushan Ezhen Turge with a white flag: "Separate and rush, no stop, close is our world." ”

Turg himself rushed forward with the armored soldiers with white flags, shouting as he went: "Hurry up, disperse and rush, don't look at others, keep moving forward before the shells hit, our knives will give them a taste of defeat." ”

Due to the addition of the White Flag, and the fact that the Golden Armor no longer gathered together to charge, the damage of shells and bullets was greatly reduced. Finally, a large number of post-golden armor soldiers approached the small opening.

When Jiannu approached a hundred paces, Zhao Shujiao let the artillery fire the last shot and began to retreat, while the infantry stood behind the cannon with a fire hammer and opened fire at the same time, and then the first row of infantry held the fire gun and did not move, and the rear two rows of infantry began to reload.

Soon, the Houjin armor soldiers rushed in front of the first row of infantry, and Zhao Shujiao kept shouting: "Keep the formation, don't mess up." "The infantry and the Houjin soldiers engaged in fierce white-knuckle combat.

At this time, the soldiers of the second row began to fire at the Houjin soldiers, knocked down another piece, and then began to kill the Houjin soldiers with bayonets from the space between the soldiers in the first row. The third platoon of soldiers began to fire again, then quickly retreated, and another platoon of soldiers stepped forward and opened fire.

In addition to the Guards infantry standing in line on the ice wall, there were also a large number of soldiers lined up behind the artillery, ready to support at any time. Therefore, after the first two rows of infantry begin to engage in white-knuckle combat, the infantry in the back can be divided into many platoons to rotate into battle and set fire.

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
