Yuan Chonghuan, on the west bank of the Sancha River, had already received information from Li Changshan that Du Wenhuan's Second Army was stepping up the construction of pontoon bridges in the river.

The No. 3 big tent lost two Niu Lu at once, the army's morale was extremely unstable, and they were besieged by the Ming army continuously, they had already focused all their energy on the Ming army outside the big tent, and they didn't even know that two huge ships appeared on the Sancha River.

These two giant ships are actually just medium-sized ships of the North Sea Fleet, and they are the two "Fuchuan"-class warships of the Ming Army, but for the Jurchens who have never seen big ships and big ships, they are two giant ships.

The North Sea Fleet also had larger "Guangchuan" class warships, but the battleships had to enter the Sancha River, and the battleships were too big, and it was extremely inconvenient to turn around, so Weixin only sent two lucky ships.

When Zhu Youzhen formed the North Sea Fleet, the Ming Dynasty did not have professional warships at all, nor did it have a professional military shipyard, so the warships of the North Sea Fleet were all converted from merchant ships.

After the Fubune was converted into a battleship, although it had a large displacement, the hull was too short, and the entire ship could only carry eight naval guns, four on each side.

The two Fu boats sailed into the Sancha River, one after the other, and they soon found the location of the Jurchen No. 3 Big Tent, because Li Changshan's 1st Marine Division was besieging it.

The gunners on the battleship, constantly calculating the distance.

The Jurchen soldiers on the shore did not find these two battleships at all, of course, even if they found out, there was nothing they could do, the battleships would not dock, and the Jurchens did not have any weapons to hit the battleships at all.

"Boom...... Long ......"

The four naval guns on the first battleship, which opened fire almost simultaneously, shook violently the hull, and the right side of the ship was almost close to the water.

Four flowering bombs whistled towards the Jurchens' No. 3 tent.

Because when it was fired, the hull shook violently, and the accuracy of the naval guns was far inferior to that of the land guns.

Naval artillery also has an advantage, it is fixed on the battleship, there is no problem of transportation, therefore, the caliber is very large, and the flowering shells fired are also more powerful than land artillery.

Although only one flowering bullet hit the target, near the landing point, both the tents and the soldiers were lifted into the air, and by the time they hit the ground hard, everything fell apart.

The Jurchen soldiers had never seen such a powerful flowering bullet, and the soldiers were stunned for a moment.

The Ming army did not take the opportunity to attack, the accuracy of the naval guns was not high, and if they attacked rashly, the Ming army would inevitably suffer casualties in front of the flowering shells.

The second battleship also shot four flowering bombs, and the Jurchens' big tent was too big, although it was only to test the waters, there was still a flowering bomb that fell on the edge of the big tent and razed the fences in this area to the ground.

The starboard guns of the two battleships fired two more rounds, and of the sixteen flowering shells, ten of them hit the big tent, which was in a mess, and even the ground was blown up with several large holes.

The battleship turned over the bow and got closer, and this time two battleships fired with port guns, three rounds of shelling, and more than a dozen flowering shells, hitting the third big tent.

The two warships, shaking their sails, said hello to Li Changshan, and then sailed into the sea in a dashing manner, sailing away unscathed.

The remaining Jurchen soldiers in the tent were all dazed, they trembled, picked up the white cloth from the tent, and put it on their bodies, hoping in vain that the white cloth would block the flowering bullets.

The battleship left, Li Changshan launched a more fierce attack on the big tent, the Ming army began to approach the big tent from the gap in the fence, Li Changshan was ready to take advantage of the moment when the Jurchens were stunned, and quickly took the No. 3 big tent.

The Jurchen soldiers were really born warriors, as soon as the Ming army approached, they immediately came to their senses, all the bows and arrows were aimed at the gaps in the fence, and some soldiers still hid in the tents to shoot, real cold arrows.

The Ming army's attack was temporarily blocked, but Li Changshan was not in a hurry, with a breakthrough, the Ming army would also take the No. 3 tent to clear the obstacles for Yuan Chonghuan's 100,000 troops to cross the river.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the northeast, Li Changshan frowned, and looked into the distance, a group of cavalry was galloping from a distance.

"Could it be a Jurchen cavalry?"

The cavalry was too far away to see the banner clearly, and Li Changshan couldn't help it, he was worried that it was the Jurchen soldiers who came, so he first set up a defensive position in the front right, with three rows of soldiers, three hundred in each row.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and gradually I could see the figure of the cavalry, and sure enough, it was the leather armor of the Jurchens.

It turned out that when the Ming army's naval artillery wantonly bombed the No. 3 tent, they also transmitted the news of the Ming army's attack to Yaozhou, and the Jurchen soldiers stationed in Yaozhou were only two hundred, and they and the one hundred soldiers in Gaizhou City happened to be a complete Niu Lu.

Although the defenders of Yaozhou are few, but the Sancha River is the most important line of defense of the Jurchens, they can not help it, the Jurchen soldiers in the city, the heavy responsibility of defending the city, handed over to the two Han soldiers in the city Niu Lu, they all rushed to reinforce the No. 3 big tent, at the same time, they also sent a message to Dolgon stationed in Haizhou, Haizhou is a hundred miles away from Yaozhou, back and forth, almost half a day.

Li Changshan's First Marine Division, with one enemy and two enemies, should not be a big problem, these two groups of Jurchen soldiers, the number is not much, especially the No. 3 big tent, which has been stirred up by naval artillery, and is now completely in the wind.

But the two hundred cavalry that Yaozhou just arrived was extremely fierce, although they were not many in number, but the speed of the cavalry had been increased to the maximum, they were like a mudslide rolling down from the top of the mountain, roaring and rushing towards the Ming army.

Seeing the Jurchen reinforcements, the Jurchen soldiers of the No. 3 big tent, they suddenly came to the spirit, it turned out that the soldiers who were scattered in all corners, and the soldiers who were weak to shoot arrows were like drinking duck blood, and they were all in one go, and the Ming army that broke into the big tent gradually forced out, and the No. 3 big tent was in balance for a while.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The positions of the Ming army were set up temporarily, and the soldiers would have a change in their hearts when they were attacked on their backs, and in any case, they would not be able to form a salvo.

The scattered flintlock muskets, although they restrained the offensive of the Jurchen cavalry, still had a small number of soldiers, breaking through the death line of 100 paces and quickly approaching the gunners of the Ming army.

The gunners could only concentrate their flintlock pistols and aim at the Jurchen cavalry, which had rushed to the middle line of eighty paces, and these cavalrymen soon fell from their horses, but the Jurchen soldiers who were a hundred paces away crossed the death line again.

By the time the gunmen turned their guns back, the Jurchens had already released their arrows.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The neat arrows, faster than the wind, rushed towards the position of the Ming army, and several arrows that shot particularly far had already broken into the body of the gunner.

The Ming army became more and more chaotic, not only the wounded soldiers withdrew from the battle, but the unwounded soldiers began to dodge the bows and arrows of the Jurchens, and the defensive positions were about to collapse.

Li Changshan was furious, only 200 cavalry, about to be broken through the position, he personally supervised the battle: "If you dodge the Jurchen arrows again, you will be killed!" If you retreat again, you will be killed! ”

The gunners cowered, and under the sabre of the Overseer soldiers, they finally stopped retreating, but they were still unable to form a salvo, and the scattered Jurchen soldiers had already broken through the cordon of sixty paces.

Li Changshan's sweat was dripping down his cheeks, and he kept shouting, but the soldiers were even more flustered, not only the reloading speed was slow, but the hit rate was also greatly reduced.

Fortunately, there were only 200 Jurchen soldiers.

"Bang, bang......"

The Jurchen soldiers were all dismounted, and the flintlock pistols were still firing.

Li Changshan's face was gloomy as if a layer of frost had fallen, until now, the No. 3 tent had not been taken down, and it was almost broken through by the two hundred Jurchen cavalry!

"It's you, hurry up, give these Jurchen soldiers a fatal knife!"

"Dada......"

The dense sound of horses' hooves, like the war drums of the Jurchens, struck heavily against the hearts of every gunner.

"Could it be that the main force of the Jurchen cavalry is coming?" Li Changshan looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, and in the east, in the direction of the sun, there were countless black shadows, connected to one side, as if they suddenly appeared on the horizon.

"Shizuo ......" Hou Wenxing followed Li Changshan's side, and he had also been staring at the black shadow line in the east.

"Wenxing, we have no choice, just run away, we are infantry, in front of the cavalry, we only have to be slaughtered." Li Changshan glanced at his soldiers, and a haze quickly rose in his heart.

"Master, give the order!" Hou Wenxing knew that the First Brigade had not participated in today's battle because of its incomplete establishment, and now it was time for the First Brigade to attack.

"Wenxing, are you sure?"

"Master, how long do you need to hold on?"

Li Changshan looked behind him, the Second and Third Marine Divisions did not even have a shadow, it seemed that they could not be counted on today, "Hold on until the cavalry regiment returns to defense, they will not be unaware of such a big movement here." ”

"Yes, Master." Hou Wenxing hesitated for a moment, "The First Marine Brigade will never let the division down." ”

"Okay," Li Changshan stretched out his thumb, "Wenxing, you go to the defense first, I will work harder first, and clean up the No. 3 tent first, so as not to suffer the enemy on my back." ”

"Yes, Master." Hou Wenxing saluted Li Changshan, turned around and went to the group of soldiers, "Brothers, the Jurchen soldiers are coming, are you afraid?" ”

The soldiers were silent, only a small number of soldiers, shaking their necks slightly.

"Brothers, to be honest, I'm also afraid," Hou Wenxing couldn't bear to look at them, "but what can I do if I'm afraid?" If we run away, will a two-legged man outrun a four-legged horse? ”

The faces of the soldiers were even more desperate, these soldiers who had not fought against the wind were eager to suddenly grow two wings, like a goshawk, and fly into the sky, or like a mouse, it would be good to find a cave.

"Brothers," Hou Wenxing's voice suddenly raised an octave: "Since the formation of the new army, although the Ming Dynasty has gone through a lot of hardships, it has never lost a battle, let alone a rout deserter, you, are you willing to be the first rout and the first deserter?" Are you willing to let the 1st Marine Division never be able to raise its head? ”

"No, no!" The soldiers finally had a little response.

"Answer out loud, would you like it?"

"I don't want to!"

This time, the soldiers' voices were much neater and louder, as if they had invisibly increased their confidence.

"The Jurchens are coming, now, it's time for us to make contributions to the country, if anyone dies in battle, your wives and children, parents, will get a high pension, they will have food and clothing for the rest of their lives, if we survive, we are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and we have a contribution. Now, are you still afraid? Afraid? ”

"No...... Fear! ”

"Okay, now you have three teams, you must fire a salvo, only a salvo can stop the pace of the Jurchen cavalry." At the moment of life and death, Hou Wenxing always felt that there was a sentence missing, and finally remembered: "Brothers, no matter when, I will be by your side!" ”
