Chapter 529, Iron Wall
As soon as the boats landed, a few more pirates jumped out of the boat with pointed stakes, as if to stick them into the beach. Others dragged several women and children out again.
"Straight sissy thief! How dare you do that! Hani said angrily, "Everyone listen, follow me to catch up, catch those pirates, and cut them one by one!" ”
The other cavalry also answered, and they all mounted their horses and chased after them.
The "pirates" had just planted a sharp stake when they saw the Qing cavalry chasing after them again, so they all got on the boat again, stuffed the women and children into the cabin, lifted the anchor chain, and the boat went downstream down the river again.
"Chase! Chase it! Hani shouted. He knew that if he didn't chase them, he was afraid that after a few hundred steps, these pirates would land on the shore again, and then erect sharp stakes to put those women and children on. As for what can be done if they get closer, Hani hasn't figured it out at this time, after all, they are on the boat, and their war horses can't rush to the boat on the water.
The speed of the ships was not fast, and the cavalry soon caught up with the ships.
"Dismount and shoot arrows! Shoot them! Hani shouted as he leapt from his horse, which had not yet fully slowed down, and when he landed, he already had a strong bow in his hand.
Manchurian cavalry rarely attacked the enemy with mounted archery. Because you can't open a strong bow when riding and shooting, and on the undulating war horse, is there a two-way stable large closed-loop fire control system, relying on human fire control, the accuracy of shooting is also very poor, generally speaking, more than ten steps, you basically can't shoot anything. Instead, he dismounted and stood still and shot with a strong bow, whether it was the range or the accuracy, compared to the flashy mounted shooting, I don't know how strong it is.
But the boats were sailing on the other side of the river, and the distance between them was forty or fifty paces. Heavy arrows can't shoot so far, so they can only use light arrows, but the shield on the opposite ship is actually erected, and this arrow is actually just to vent anger, and it can't shoot anything at all.
Hani is a bit of a tiger ride now. They were cavalry and could not get into the water. If you attack, there is only one way to shoot arrows, but it has no effect. If they don't follow, I'm afraid that these pirates will immediately dock, and then erect a few sharp stakes to put on the rest of the women and children. Now, it seems that it can only follow.
In fact, if you just want to put on a few people, the "pirates" on the boat only need to dock on the other side of the river. But the boats no longer docked, but just slowly headed downstream.
At this time, more Qing soldiers also followed. There were even a few small boats, carrying Qing soldiers, who also chased after them. These small boats came quickly, and soon caught up with the ship of the "Haikou". They first shot at the ship with bows and arrows at close range. The "pirates" did not show weakness and also fired back with shotguns. In the confrontational shooting, the shotguns of the "Haikou" had a clear advantage, and after a while, the Qing soldiers on those boats were so pressed that they could not raise their heads.
At this moment, several stripped "pirates" suddenly jumped from their boats into the water under the leadership of a bald head. Then several of the Qing soldiers' boats shook violently. Several Qing soldiers couldn't stand on their feet and fell into the water on one side. Then the boats began to leak, and soon sank, and the Qing soldiers fell into the water, and then they were pressed under the water by the pirates, and soon fainted, and then they were thrown into the boat.
The Qing soldiers on the shore watched as these pirates killed or captured the Qing soldiers who came by boat, but they couldn't help. Just shoot at the naked pirates when they get on the boat. Several pirates were also hit by two arrows, but the lethality of the light arrows was quite limited, and although they were wounded, they were not fatal.
Wiped out several small boats pursued by the Qing army, and these boats continued to descend, and Niuzhuang Fort could already be seen in front.
The Qing army also gradually approached Niuzhuang Fort. and stopped about four or five hundred paces from the outermost layer of barbed wire at Niuzhuang Fort.
Zheng Jiahaikou's ship docked behind the first layer of barbed wire. Just a little behind the first layer of barbed wire, a number of pointed wooden stakes have been erected. A bald head took the lead and jumped out of the boat. As soon as his feet landed, he smiled at the few people who greeted him: "Creation, creation!" Amitabha, good, good! The poor monk went, but he caught a group of Tartars and came back. I can make the Buddha make some merit again! ”
"You false monk, I don't know how many sins you have created! But aren't you afraid that the Buddha will let you go to hell? The officer who greeted him laughed and scolded.
The monk clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "Amitabha! Sun Jun doesn't study Buddhism, and he doesn't know the compassion of my Buddha. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Besides, all sentient beings are suffering, and the poor monks send them liberation, which is the immeasurable merit! There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there is no Hachiman Bodhisattva in the south! The Venerable Master Qingluan said, 'If a good person can be reborn in the Pure Land, let alone a wicked person?' ’”
When "Sun Jun" heard this, he just shook his head and smiled: "I can't figure out your Fusang's Buddhism!" ”
The monk said, "What's not to understand about this? You Chinese monks also said, 'You don't cultivate good fruits in your life, you only love to kill people and set fires.' Suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was torn off here! The tide on the Qiantang River is coming, and today I know that I am me! 'That's it! The poor monk first helped these donors to achieve great liberation, and then came to talk to Sun Jun! Bring those donors down! ”
This last sentence was shouted into the ship in Japanese.
The people on the ship also responded, but there were both Japanese and Chinese, as well as Chinese with a North Korean accent. In a few moments, a group of men pulled the captives down.
The monk smiled at "Sun Jun", then turned his face away, and said to the Qing soldiers who were tied up like hairy crabs about to get off the steamer: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! Gentlemen, as the so-called 'sentient beings are suffering', all gentlemen are born in this fire house, reincarnation is not stopped, how bitter! Today, the poor monk recites the compassion of my Buddha, and he is self-conscious, consciously aware of his spirit, and sends you to be liberated. Good, good, good! Okay, let's help the donors get free! ”
As soon as the last sentence came out, the people who got off the boat started to tear off the pants of these Qing prisoners. How did these Qing troops not know what they were going to do, and naturally they were struggling desperately. It's just that they have just choked on water, and they are tied up with ropes so strong that they are struggling to get out. After a while, they all pulled out their pants. But when these guys tied up the captives like hairy crabs, they deliberately didn't plug their mouths. Now these Qing soldiers who have been stripped of their pants are desperate, and they are all scolding at those "sea robbers". One of the captives spat on the monk's face.
"How can the benefactor curse? Scolding is a! Spitting is also unhygienic. Or the poor monk to help the benefactor be liberated! The monk did not wipe the spit from his face, but said to the spitting captive very kindly, and as he spoke, he grasped the captive's ribs with both hands, gently lifted him up to the top of the sharp stake, and said, "I wish the donor great liberation and a blissful death." Good, good, good! ”
As he spoke, the monk pressed the captive down, and with a scream, the captive was stuck in the pointed stake.
The monk folded his hands and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, good and good!" Then he moved on to the next captive......
……
At this time, there were already one or two thousand Qing troops who rushed outside the barbed wire fence one after another. Among them, there are authentic Zhushen warriors like Hani, and there are also traitors who followed Shang Kexi to cast the Eight Banners, and now looking at the thief monk, while folding his hands and muttering scriptures in his mouth, he put those captives on one by one. They all hated and scolded.
Hani knew that the defense of the pirates in front of him seemed to be only a few trenches that were not deep, a few low walls that were only chest-high, and some cannons or something. This position looks like that, it looks like there are more cannons, and the position is more solid, and it is not unseen and unfought. However, he also knew that the position of the Zheng Jiahaikou was not comparable to the ordinary Ming army, and even if they hid behind the simple fortifications, it would be difficult to fight. So, at first, he held back and didn't attack immediately. But as the thief monk over there dressed the captives one by one, he still couldn't help it. Moreover, he also knew that if he didn't dare to attack like this, he was afraid that the morale of the Qing army would be greatly damaged.
However, Hani knew that it would be difficult for him to break through the defenses of these pirates and bring them back. So he set a small goal for himself - to rush closer and help those captured Qing troops get a good time.
"We didn't have a shield cart with us, so we couldn't rush through. But I saw the stakes, not far from their kind of rejection, and we rushed over there, and then helped the brothers with bows and arrows. How's it going? Hani said to a few cows beside him.
"I think so." A Zhang Jing said.
"I want to shoot that bald thief with an arrow!" Another Jangjing Road.
"How can one arrow be enough? One day, Lao Tzu will wear this thief bald like this! Well, since everyone is not against it! Then we're on! Haney concluded.
Everyone got on their horses again, urging the war horses to make an arc and rush towards the snake's belly barbed wire.
Huang Zhao stood behind a breastwork, looking out at the cavalry of the Qing army, and beside him were several cannons borrowed from the navy. The positions where the Qing cavalry passed were all squared, and beside Huang Zhao, several naval officers counted the squares while staring at the Qing army, counting their distances and speeds. All kinds of numbers kept coming out of their mouths, and the cannons around them kept adjusting to them.
