The worst situation in hand-to-hand combat is to be chased and cut. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOnce this situation is formed, no one will have the power to return to heaven. This is because, first of all, you are running away with your back to the opponent, and the way your joints and eyes grow are such that you are almost defenseless when you are facing your back to your opponent. It is said that in the early years, when the underworld was fighting somewhere in the south, there was a man named Ling Hu Chong, who could defeat others with swordsmanship with his back to people. But there has never been such a strong martial artist on this battlefield.

Secondly, once you are overtaken, your companions will generally not stop and fight with those pursuers because of you. At this time, you have to face a large number of pursuers alone, so once the situation of one side running and one side chasing is formed, generally speaking, it is no longer a fight, but can only be called a killing.

The armor on these Qing soldiers is relatively heavy, and it is naturally inconvenient to run, as for throwing away this armor, it is true that there is a so-called saying about losing armor on the battlefield, but this armor really does not mean that you can throw it away very easily if you want to. The armor is hard to wear, and it's not easy to take it off, and when you run away, you have to look down while two hands to untie it, which will definitely affect the running speed, and then before you take off the armor, I'm afraid that you will be caught up by others, and you will have a bayonet in your heart.

However, if you don't take off your armor, even this bulky armor will definitely not be able to outrun others. Of course, there are some smart ones, who ran first, but they had time to grab a few war horses that had not been killed, spread their four legs and ran, and the rest were naturally miserable, and they could only run on two legs, but they couldn't outrun others, and they were soon caught up and killed by the model army that was chasing all the way. If you compare the experience and skills of martial arts, most of the model soldiers are indeed not comparable to these Qing soldiers, but when it comes to running, eating whale meat, and having a 5,000-meter cross-country training every day, the model army can run more than the Qing army.

Of course, not all of them went after them, and some stayed behind and began to beckon the refugees to take refuge in the stronghold. In the battle just now, some of the more courageous refugees had already run into the stronghold, and of course some had run farther away. The main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was actually not far away, and the battle just now went on very quickly, and it was actually just over half an hour. These warriors need to hurry up and pull them into their strongholds.

The loud shouts of the Model Army, coupled with the sun and moon flags fluttering on the stronghold, also made the refugees feel comforted. As a result, more and more refugees began to flock to the small stronghold. Within half an hour, the stronghold was crowded with refugees. Not only the stronghold, but even the sea ice behind the stronghold was full of refugees. And more refugees continue to pour in.

"Refugees can't be let in." Lucien looked at his pocket watch, it had been such a long time, and the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty should have received the news and was rushing back, and the stronghold was also full of people, and it couldn't fit it anymore.

"Close the gates and tell the refugees that there is going to be a war here, and let them run away, or they will be caught by the Tartars to fill the trenches. Well, you can also scare them, just say that the Tartars have suffered such a big loss here, if they come in, I'm afraid that none of the people hiding here will survive. Guo Huaiyi said.

"Well, just go and give the order, tell them to say so. Well, when those refugees are far away, we will bury some pointed stakes in front of the trench and fart the corpses of those barbarians. Eyes on it, show the savages. It's a pity that these guys are too dark, and there are not a single captive. Lucien said to the herald standing aside.

Guo Huaiyi's rhetoric played a certain role, and after the gate was closed, the refugees who were originally gathered next to them saw that they really wouldn't open the door again, so they quickly dispersed. After all, the people of this era can understand that if you really let the Tartars rush to fill the trenches, the court and the government can kill their own people, but they will definitely not be soft.

After the crowd dispersed for most of the hour, the main force of the Manchus reappeared on the outskirts of the stronghold. Of course, the corpses of the Qing soldiers who were pierced on wooden stakes in front of the trench made them extremely angry, but by this time it was already time for the sun to set in the mountains, and it was obviously too late to attack immediately. Therefore, the Qing army had to camp nearby and send cavalry to search for fleeing refugees.

Both sides were busy that night, the Manchu side was busy preparing all kinds of siege equipment, and the shield cart had proved to be unable to block the muskets in the past, so it had to be thickened, and of course, the result of thickening was that the shield cart became more cumbersome, and it took about eight or nine men to barely push it. And it's going to be a lot slower.

"I'm afraid this thing still can't withstand the cannon. Walking slowly, I am afraid that I will be hit badly. Hauge said.

"And what do you think?" Dorgon asked.

"Uncle Fourteen, my nephew wants to let Bao Yi and those Han people push the shield cart to fill the trench or something, but it is also a waste of their fire. Medicine. Guns, when the trenches are filled, we will bombard them with those two cannons, and their ice walls will certainly not be able to stop our cannons, and then we will be on our Manchurian warriors......" Hauge said.

"Well, this is also a way, but since it is a waste of other people's ammunition, this shield car can simply be made a look, and it will save trouble, but there is no need to thicken it." Dorgon said.

And in the stronghold, a clipper boat left the dock that night for Rizhao. After the port of Denglai was destroyed, Zheng Zhihu retreated here with the water camp. There are so many people in the base now that they need to be transported as soon as possible. Otherwise, the materials are difficult to support. At the same time, a cargo ship full of refugees sailed to the Miaodo Islands near Yantai, where they would temporarily settle the refugees on some uninhabited islands in the Miaodo archipelago and wait for Zheng Zhilong to transport them to Jeju or Taiwan.

The rest of the refugees, of course, could not only eat but not work here, and now they were ordered to do two things, one was to dig the ice to make the channel wider, and the other was to send more sea ice to the fortifications in front and strengthen the ice wall according to the instructions of the soldiers.

In addition to the personnel who are in charge of vigilance, the personnel above the commander of the model army are all together to discuss tomorrow's countermeasures.

"Tomorrow the builders will probably drive the people to fill in the trenches first." Guo Huaiyi said, "What should we do? ”

At this time, one of the drawbacks of nationalist education came out, and if it was the authentic Ming army guarding this stronghold, then this problem would not be a problem. What about those ordinary people who come to fill the trenches? Just shoot it to death, do you still have to think about it? But with the so-called nationalist education, having the soldiers shoot at them, even if the order can be carried out, will greatly reduce morale. In Guo Huaiyi's view, relying on the current fortifications, the Manchus could not move no matter what, and how to solve these ordinary people was the most fatal problem.

"Guo, I think we can do this. You see, this is our fortification diagram, and there is actually a lot of space behind the sharp corners of our new ice wall. This was supposed to be a position that we used to gather our troops so that we could counterattack at any time. Lucien pointed to the map and said, "We can let the common people approach to the good ditch and encourage them to flee to these positions." We can even let them fill the trenches. In fact, with our current firepower and the fortress made of sea ice, even if there were no trenches, those barbarians would not be able to attack them. ”

"Captain Lu, those barbarians are very cunning, and they tend to let some spies mix in with the common people." Another clerk named Hu Cheng said.

"There's nothing terrible about this, how useful a few people with only short weapons and no armor can be." Lucien said disdainfully, "We are not the kind of army that can collapse at the touch of a button. Besides, they were placed in these positions. Lucien tapped his hand on the map again, "If they want to do something, they will have to face fire from five directions." At this distance, the flintlock pistol already has a fair degree of accuracy. ”

The next morning, the Manchu camp began to get busy, and Dolgon found that overnight the "Dutch" had built some ice walls in front of the original polygonal ice wall with sea ice, and these ice walls were also built into sharp corners, and the sharp corners pointed directly ahead.

"What do you think these Dutchmen are doing?" Dorgon asked, "Is there anything special about these things?" ”

"The wall doesn't look like much, it doesn't seem to be that tall." An officer named Guerra said, "Look at the height, it's a little higher than a man on a horse." If it wasn't made of ice, I could jump straight and climb with my hands. Riding on a horse, you can shoot them with a bow and arrow. I don't know why they made such low walls of ice. ”

"Hauge, you did their city last time, tell me what you think." Dorgon asked again.

"Uncle Fourteen, there was no such ice wall when I came last time, but the appearance of their walled city is actually very similar to this ice wall, they are all covered in thorns. I guess the truth of this thing is similar to the horse face on the city wall. Hauge said, "The Dutch fired accurately, and the muskets were fast and accurate." Leaning against such a wall, we rushed under the wall, and they were able to beat us with muskets. I think that's what it should be for. ”

Dorgon nodded, "You're right, I guess that's what you're used for." Then he turned his head to look at the ice wall, and snorted with his nose, "It's just two low walls, even if there are some muskets and cannons, can they really stop us?" ”
