Chapter 768: A Fierce Battle in the Night (Page 1/1)
The screams came far away in the night, and Li Jie and Lao Huang, who had just finished launching the Divine Fire Crow, were stunned all of a sudden. They looked at each other, and one shouted "Enemy attack!" The other blew the brass whistle on his chest.
A terrible whistle sounded on the ship, and the sailors got up and prepared for battle. The sailors on the rest of the battleships also ran onto the deck, and they looked at the Jurchen armor soldiers who had approached in surprise one by one.
It would be troublesome if they touched the ship silently, but although it was a little close, it was still within the range of the artillery.
Abatai held back his strength and wanted to show his face in front of Nurhachi, so when he went back, he selected 3,000 blue flag armor soldiers to prepare for a night attack on the Changxing warship.
For fear of being discovered by the Changxing army, they didn't even ride a war horse. All of them walked towards the sea, each with a white cotton cloth in their hands.
When he approached the second mile of the Changxing Army's battleship, he ordered everyone to crawl forward on the ice, with the cover of white cotton cloth and the reason for the night sight, they really deceived the sentries of the Changxing Army on night duty.
If it weren't for Li Jie's Divine Fire Crow igniting and exposing the target, they would all be able to climb within fifty steps of the Changxing Army to attack.
Abatai cursed, and shot the soldier alive with his bow and arrow. He glanced at the Changxing warship one hundred and fifty steps away, and decisively gave the order to attack.
This distance did not meet his expectations, but it was all a surprise to the Changxing army. He jumped up from the ground one by one, pointed to the battleship not far away, and shouted: "The reward for the first to board the battleship is one hundred taels of silver, fifty Han slaves, and ten Han maidservants." ”
When the armored soldiers under him who were under the blue flag heard that there was such a high reward, they were excited one by one, "Whoa!" He screamed and rushed towards the Changxing warship.
Because the Changxing army was in a hurry, they knew that the Jurchen armor soldiers had rushed to a distance of eighty paces before they launched their artillery and opened fire. "Boom!" In the sound of artillery, there were constantly armored soldiers who were hit by cannonballs and smashed to pieces, but more armored soldiers still rushed up.
"The First Sun Cannon! Swap shots! "Lao Huang's battleship was the first to discover the Jurchens, and his people reacted the fastest. They were the first to open fire, and immediately after emptying the guns, they exchanged the guns for loose shells.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up for Lao Tzu! It's too late to come up in the grinding and building slaves! Old Huang yelled anxiously on the deck.
Just then, a voice came from the artillery deck: "The third gun group is ready!" ”
"After the preparation is completed, the special wood will fire, this is not a naval battle, what kind of salvo is it emphasized!" Lao Huang's roar overshadowed the artillery, and his loud voice was clearly heard by the entire ship.
"Boom, boom!" After a round of scattered bullets, the Jurchen armor soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked down. Again, it was the thousands of lead bullets contained in the Chuyang cannon, like a sickle for cutting wheat, sweeping down the Jurchen armor soldiers in pieces.
Li Jie also yelled at the soldiers beside him: "Go and take out all the Divine Fire Crows, and let this group of dog Jiannu taste the taste of the two heavens of popsicles!" ”
Immediately, all the soldiers moved, and none of them took out the two Divine Fire Crows. Li Jie pointed to the Jurchen armor soldiers who were coming in a steady stream with his hand and shouted: "Burn it for Lao Tzu!" Burn hard! ”
One by one, the Divine Fire Crows were released, landing on the ice and exploding dazzling sparks. These sparks are all burning mixed oils, which will not be extinguished at all when they fall on the ice, and they will burn even more wildly when they fall on people.
The successive firing of the Divine Fire Raven not only prevented the Jurchen armor soldiers from approaching, but also illuminated the surrounding ice. Even some of the swaying figures in the distance could be seen clearly, and the soldiers kept shooting at the rushing armor soldiers with firearms on the side of the ship, and for a time the Jurchen armor soldiers could not get close.
Abatai, who had been watching the battle in the dark, stared at the Changxing Army battleship with his eyes, and watched his armor soldiers with the blue flag constantly being torn apart by artillery, and his heart was tangled.
As the battle progressed, he suddenly realized that he couldn't fight like this, and there was a cannon behind the dense gun windows on the side of the Changxing battleship, and when these guns fired scattered shells, it was difficult for the Jurchen armor soldiers to get close.
Even if a soldier is lucky enough to get close, it is difficult to avoid the sniper of the gunner, just after a while, more than 500 soldiers were killed on the way to the charge, and if he continues to fight like this, the armor soldiers he brings will fill the muzzle of the Changxing army.
Seeing the Changxing warship that was constantly spewing flames, Abatai saw something. He immediately ordered the armored soldiers who rushed up to retreat, and as the desolate horn sounded, the Jurchen armored soldiers retreated like a tide.
Repelled the attack of the Jurchens, the navy on the battleship breathed a sigh of relief. It was too thrilling just now, if it weren't for the old yellow battleship launching the Divine Fire Flying Crow, it would have made the Jurchens touch the battleship low.
At that time, the guns on the battleship will lose the firing angle, and without the support of the artillery, the navy will not be able to hold the battleship.
With the example of example, other warships also launched Divine Fire Crows around every once in a while, and the landing Divine Fire Crows would light up a piece of ice, so that the Jurchens would no longer have a chance to sneak attack.
As time passed, the Jurchens seemed to be beaten and retreated. It did not reappear until late at night, and if there were no corpses all over the ground, the night attack of the Jurchens appeared in the minds of the soldiers of the Changxing Army like a dream.
As we approached Mao, the moon in the sky became dim. The stars are also mostly hidden, and the pre-dawn darkness hangs over the ice. If it weren't for the Changxing Army's launching a Divine Fire Raven from time to time, there would be darkness on the ice.
Just when the soldiers of the Changxing Army thought that the Jurchens had given up their sneak attack tonight, a black shadow flashed near a divine fire flying crow that was launched in the direction of the bow of the ship. The soldier in charge of the guard didn't see it clearly, and immediately reported it to Li Jie.
Li Jie, who came to the bow of the boat, didn't see anything, but he still ordered: "Launch two more Divine Fire Crows, I'd rather waste them than let the Jurchens touch them again!" "Li Jie attaches great importance to the discovery of vigilant soldiers.
As two more Divine Fire Crows exploded on the ice, Li Jie finally saw clearly the Jurchen armored soldiers who were slowly approaching hidden in the darkness.
This time, the Jurchens learned to be smart, and they no longer blindly charged desperately. Instead, the breakthrough was placed in the direction of the bow, where there would be a minimum of artillery and the least number of hits.
Now that the target has been exposed, the Jurchens are not hiding. They got up from the ice and rushed towards the Changxing Army battleship. The speed of the Jurchen's charge this time was significantly faster than the previous one, and they soon approached the Changxing warship.
A sneer appeared on Abatai's face who was hiding in the darkness, and the smallest of the 1,000 Blue Banner soldiers who charged only wore a piece of cotton armor.
If it weren't for the cold weather, he didn't want the soldiers to wear this layer of cotton armor.
