On the west side of the mouth of the Yalu River, on the opposite bank of the island, Dadonggou. Ｘ

The sad place of the Beiyang Naval Division.

Under the guidance of Wang Bao, the Storm first sailed into the west channel of the Yalu River between the island and the mainland.

Later, due to the influence of the upstream hydropower station, the main channel of the Yalu River became the Dongqian Road, and the island gradually silted up with the mainland, so that dozens of kilometers downstream of the Yalu River became an inland river in North Korea, and China also lost hundreds of square kilometers of land silted up from the mouth of the Yalu River.

In this era, the main channel of the Yalu River was still the Xiqi Road near the Chinese side. In order to blockade the town of Dongjiang, Nurhachi used to strictly prohibit hunting and logging in the area along the Yalu River. Now that Dongjiang Town no longer exists, Huang Taiji has to build ships again, and the ban has been relaxed. The large trees felled by Baoyi and the Korean soldiers upstream would flow down the Yalu River into the Xiqian Road, and Lan Bai and Ban Zhifu sent people to pick up the ship timber in Dadonggou.

Ronald, the first mate of the South Seas, reported to Order, "Admiral, the Tempest has come to the flag, and the channel is very deep. ”

Put away the binoculars in order. Of course, the channel of Dadonggou is deep enough, and the tidal ditch where the water of the Yalu River rushes out, and the troop carriers of the First Sino-Japanese War can directly dock in the port.

"Hang up all the battle flags and let the Tatars remember our flag."

The Nanhai had previously been on non-combat voyages, with only the national flag on the warship.

At this time, the bow mast of the battleship was still hoisting the Confederate Star Bird flag, the mainmast raised the Changliu flag, the rear mast raised the naval flag, and the sailors were preparing to hang the orca heraldic flag on the foremast flagpole, and the order was for them and so on.

"Mr. Ronald, does the South Sea carry the pirate flag?"

Ronald was surprised at first, then showed a look of excitement, "Of course, Your Excellency. ”

"Raise our pirate flag."

"Yes, Your Excellency, right now."

Ronald personally ran to the flagpole and instructed the sailors to change the flag. There are some minor differences between the heraldic flag of order and the pirate flag, which can be distinguished by veterans of the fleet.

As the pirate flag was raised to the top of the mast, the veterans of the South Sea were in high spirits, and they poured onto the deck to cheer for the battle flag.

The Raphael fired its bow gun in homage to the flagship, and a crowned skull flag decorated with irises rose to the top of the ship's mast. The pirate flag raised by the Tempest is a skeleton wearing a captain's hat. The skeleton held its scimitar aloft, its eyes blood-red, as if it wanted to choose someone to devour.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shou Order's mouth, "Mr. Ronald, approach the Tatar water village and anchor and open the cannon door." ”

Jianzhou Shipyard, Ban Zhifu scolded.

Lan Bai was heavily armored all over, and his head was attached to the top of his helmet, "What's wrong with you, old class?" ”

"Lan Bai master, that's a boat."

Ban Zhifu glanced at Lan Bai, the deputy capital of Manchuria with blue flags was almost wrapped in armor. After hesitating for a moment, Ban Zhifu still persuaded: "Master Lanbai, I advise you to take off this heavy armor and replace it with a lighter one." ”

Lan Bai narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that, old class?" This heavy armor has accompanied me from the time of Salhu to the present, and has saved my life many times. ”

Ban Zhifu sneered in his heart, "Master Lanbai, Yichuan is not the same as the enemy we have fought before. ”

Lan Bai snorted, ignoring this high-level minion.

Although they suddenly encountered a great enemy, the soldiers of Jianzhou were not chaotic. Manchuria inlaid with the blue flag 8 Niu Lu, Shang Fan 5 Niu Lu, the two together in Dadonggou There are 196 soldiers, of which each Niu Lu with the blue flag has a Bayala.

In addition to the armor soldiers, the two families also had more than 180 bannermen serving in the shipyard, and 150 people except for those shipwrights who really couldn't hold knives. The bannermen had no armor, so Lan Bai found them some swords, and they were all armed. Whether it is the banner of the blue flag or the banner of the Shang domain, they have received a certain amount of military training.

In addition to the soldiers and bannermen, there were minions, and the monks with the blue flag had some trustworthy coats, and at this time there were 80 coats with felling axes and knives, and they were responsible for guarding the Ahanikan and Koreans who worked in the shipyard.

Jin Shiying is a guarded Ahanikan, who was pushed into the village behind the military village by a group of foxes and fake tigers during his labor. There were 1,800 Ahanikan and North Korean soldiers like him. From the conversation of Bao Yi, Jin Shiying heard that a Ming army was coming from the sea, and the tone of the knife and Bao Yi seemed to be indifferent to the Ming army at all.

Jin Shiying also sighed heavily, it has been 3 years since he was captured in the Battle of Ningbei, countless hopes, countless disappointments, and finally despair. Jin Shiying, like the other Ahanikans, honestly squatted on the ground, and three years of experience told him that this was the only way to survive.

The armed cloaks walked back and forth around Ahha, and one of them said to his companions, "Man, I heard that there are quite a few bright ships coming from the sea. ”

"No matter how many ships come from Mingguo, as long as they go ashore, their heads are not enough for the masters to cut down."

"Yes, it's a pity that our masters were sent to take care of these Ahabs, otherwise if we can cut off the heads of one or two Ming soldiers, we may be able to carry the flag."

"Poof, you're dreaming. Raise the flag that is Allah's son, and you don't look at how many pounds and taels you have, do you have that life? ”

Bao Yi, who was ridiculed, laughed, "That's what I said, it's good to be able to eat and drink spicy food with the current master." ”

"That's, Bodhisattva bless, this battle is over, Lan Bai master cut a few more heads of Ming soldiers, and we may be able to drop some rewards."

When it comes to rewards, the two are a little more energetic. I saw an Aha squatting there thinking about it, and the one who prayed for the Bodhisattva's blessing went up and kicked Aha into the mud.

"You dog minion, I'll tell you to look around, tell you to look around." A frenzied punch and kick.

"I don't dare, master, master spare my life." Ahha, who was beaten, held his head with both hands and kept rolling in the mud.

The companion grabbed the beating man's coat, "Okay, okay, look at you, you're covered in mud." Beware for a while, the master thinks you're dirty. ”

Only then did the beating Bao Yi stop his hand and spit on Aha's body, "That's it, I will spare you today." Kill you, you dog minion, and you'll have to get your hands dirty. ”

Jin Shiying looked at it indifferently, the things in front of him would be staged in the land of Liaodong every day, he had long been used to it, and he had long been numb.

Heavy artillery roared at sea.

The shelling awakened Jin Shiying's instincts, and he quickly hid behind a wooden house.

"That's not right." Jin Shiying said secretly. As the son of Jin Guofeng, the chief soldier of Liaodong military training, he can certainly distinguish the strong sound that belongs to the Hongyi cannon.

The rate of fire of the "8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th ......" shelling was not very fast, and Jin Shiying became more and more frightened, and experience told him that there were as many as twenty or thirty cannons firing at sea. Ning Yuan, where he once stationed, only had so many Hongyi cannons.

A heavy bomb flew and pierced the wall of the wooden house in front of Jin Shiying, bringing up a cloud of debris, it was a 15-pound giant bomb.

"I actually flew over the military village and flew here......" Jin Shiying looked at it coldly, and the village was already frying. The coaters either hugged their heads and ran around, or they lay directly on the ground.

"Run?" Jin Shiying looked at the dense forest in the mountains in the distance. Tigers, black blind people, wolves, no food, unarmed even if they run out, they can't survive this winter. Jin Shiying squatted down and waited.

South Sea Stern.

Order summoned all the commanders. Given that Jianzhou was a regime that gathered the most elite soldiers of the Manchu, Han and Mongolian tribes in the Cold Weapon Era, the ratio of soldiers to civilians far exceeded that of a normal state. Shou Xuan decided to proceed cautiously, except for the cannon, which he intended to smash with money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please tell your soldiers that the real captive head is 20 taels of silver." Shou Xuan glanced at the three Ming army thousand households, "I'll pay." ”

Yuan Changxin came out of the ranks, "My lord, quickly give the order to attack." My sword needs to be filled with the blood of the Tartars. ”

The first mate of the Nanhai Rodna said: "Please allow me to lead the Marine Corps. ”

Wang Huizhi still felt cold after wearing two furs today, "This ghost place in Liaohai is too cold, I need to move." Cut a few heads and bring them back, and let Cao Junfu's little officers and soldiers kneel down and call brother, just think about it. ”

"Three thousand households?" Shou Xuan asked.

The naval guns continued to roar, Wang Zongyun, Chen Zhijun and Liang Hexiang glanced at each other, "We will obey the dispatch of the adults." ”

Shou Xuan clapped his hands, "Okay." Brothers, please remember that I am not the Ming court. I lack nothing, but I do not lack silver. The reward for the first rank of the Baya Lajia soldiers was doubled, 40 taels, and Niu Lu Zhangjing was 100 taels. Wang Qianhu, what did you just say was the biggest official in the village? ”

"Look at the flag is the blue flag Melle Zhangjing, the deputy capital."

"Okay, catch this Meler Zhangjing, live or die, and reward 800 taels of silver." Shou ordered to light his pipe, "In addition, if your brother is killed or injured, I will pay for the medical expenses and pension." ”

At this time, Shou Xiang is too lazy to care whether this battle is lost or gained, and it will be counted after the battle.

The South Sea and the Raphael ceased fire for the time being, and the first few rounds were only tentative firing, and the officers organized their own landing teams when they returned to the ship.

Shou Xiang walked back to his bedroom, opened the cabinet, and saw a half-length armor glowing with cold light. "Be brave, help me put on my armor."

The composition of the force was too mixed to organize a coordinated landing. The test firing of naval guns created a safe area for the landing team, and each unit landed in rowboats, went ashore and assembled again.

The marines led by Chezhitan and Ronald of the former Naganshin first occupied the beachhead, followed by the landing of 600 Ming troops.

Sho ordered and landed with the artillery team. There were no field guns, and the muddy ground could not move the ship guns, so the fleet dismantled 8 gyroscopes, mounted 4-pod gun mounts, and prepared enough guns.

Wang Huizhi walked last with more than 200 pirates armed with a variety of weapons.

Lu Congxian, who was also seen in the crowd, kept order: "Master Lu, you are here too." ”

Lu Congxian smiled, "Lord, I am a businessman, since you have opened such a high reward, I have more than 20 brothers who also want to try." After speaking, he pulled the lancet in his hand into a knife flower.

Seeing that the landing force had been assembled, the Liaozhen Navy Division stood on a high place, "Ladies and gentlemen, brother, I have been dealing with Jianyu for more than ten years. I have a few words for you. ”

Wang Zongyun was the officer with the most experience in fighting Jianzhou among all the people present.

Shou Xuan nodded and said, "Wang Qianhu, please speak." ”

Wang Zongyun clenched his fists to everyone, "My lords, the first formation is the archers carrying light arrows, they will throw light arrows from seventy or eighty paces away, the second formation is the heavy armored soldiers carrying heavy arrows, flying swords, and flying axes, and the third formation is their own formation. In many cases, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could not support the engagement with the Jianyu Formation. ”

The guards called all the officers together, discussed for a while in combination with the terrain, and determined the battle sequence.

First of all, soldiers armed with light arquebuses in the Chechitan and Chinese pirates opened the skirmish line in front.

Three Ming troops lined up the headquarters horizontally. The unarmored pirates with cold weapons were the last to carry the 8 whirling cannons.

Order was with 100 Marines and sailors, and two flag bearers carried the naval flag and the Order coat of arms.

This was the first time that Shou Xuan commanded a land battle, and he didn't know if there was cavalry in Jianzhou, and it was arranged according to the enemy's cavalry. With the exception of the skirmishers, the divisions were in dense formation. The beachhead where they landed was only 500 meters away from Jianju Mucheng, and next to it was the slipway where they built their ship.

The flag-bearer waved his flag, and the South Sea and Raphael opened fire again, again at a slow pace. The distance from the captives meant that only the ship's 12-pound guns could provide fire support.

The northwesterly wind blew on the portside of the battleship's windward port, raising the gun port facing the west bank of the Yalu River. According to the results of the test firing, the 18-pounder gun could directly hit the walled city, and even a few shells flew over the head. The 12-pounder guns could cover most of the distance from the landing beachhead to the walled city.

An 18-pounder shell hit the wall, striking 3 or 4 logs, and the flying sawdust swept away to 4 or 5 flagmen in the vicinity. Another shell flew into the city and smashed down a wooden house, causing no casualties, but the movement was significant.

Ban Zhifu frowned, "Their artillery is too powerful, this village can't be defended." ”

Lan Baitie blushed, "Let's rush up and fight." ”

"That's all there is to it."

Lan Bai got off the wall, stepped on the stirrup and mounted his horse, and adjusted his armor in four directions. said to Ban Zhifu, "I will take 60 horses out of the city, and the rest will be handed over to you." When I rushed over, you opened the front door and went out together. ”

Ban Zhifu also changed into a set of cotton armor at this time, not wearing chain mail, and only the key areas of the cotton armor were inlaid with iron plates, which was much lighter than the heavy armor of Lan Bai. In appearance, there is not much difference in the armor style of the two, and both have a long lightning rod on their heads.

Ban Zhifu grabbed Lan Bai's horse reins, "Lan Bai masters, be careful, they have a lot of muskets." ”

Lan Bai buttoned up his mask, "I understand. ”

The bannerman opened the back door, and Lan Bai led the cavalry out of the city.

Seeing Jianyu's cavalry come out, Jin Shiying secretly clenched his fists. He recognized the banner of Lan Bai, the deputy capital of Manchuria with the blue flag. In Jin Shiying's opinion, since the heavy artillery on the warship could cross the walled city and enter the village, there was nothing to defend the broken village. 15 pounds of Hongyi cannon, bombarded again,
