In Shuoto's view, they are full of people who rely on cavalry and archery to fight the world, and now they have artillery, which is even more powerful. But he has fought a lot of battles with the Ming people, and the artillery is just like that, with a rumbling sound, an iron ball flies, and it is smashed into the middle of the ball, and most of it is against the sky.

This is also the opinion of almost all Manchu people, even the so-called "ambitious" chieftain like Huang Taiji, who hardly thought about improving their firearms, because every bit of improvement in firearms seems to threaten their so-called "cavalry" advantage.

"The minister just saw that the cannon was not shot from the battery, but hidden in the open space of the island, and changed positions twice halfway, about eight guns in total." Kong Youde is worthy of being an artillery expert among the prisoners, and he said them one by one, although he had never seen Huo Yan's arrangement with his own eyes, he deduced that eight 'nine was not far from ten.

Hearing him say this, Shuoto cheered up: "What else? ”

From this, it can be judged that this is a new type of cannon of the Ming army, which not only has a longer range, but also is lighter. There must be no such cannon on Phi Dao, and even if there is, Shen Shikui will not be able to place it in the south of the island, he will definitely put it in the north of the island. In addition, Wang Zhishun was right, the muskets of the Ming army were too sharp, which reminded me of something. ”

"Oh, what's the matter, say it, say it!"

"I heard that when the emperor sent Laosa to attack Jianghua Island, he met the people sent by Nanhaibo of the Ming Kingdom, and his warship was defeated, and Laosa was also killed...... Could it be that Yu Guozhen sent reinforcements? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shuo Tuo was shocked.

Although Yu Guozhen is not very important, since last year, Yu Guozhen's Xinxiang Huwei has achieved brilliant results in the confrontation with Jianyu, whether it is the super-class Gongyanguli or Baturulasa, they have become the medals on the battle flag of the Xinxianghuwei. Shuotuo remembered that he had heard his father Daishan say that such a character was probably Li Chengliang and others.

And Li Chengliang, to a certain extent, is a mountain pressing on the heads of the descendants of Nuer Hachi.

This old guy lived to be ninety years old, and died in Bei'jing twenty years ago.

"You mean, it's possible that Yu Guozhen is here?"

"It's very likely, naturally, maybe now, and we'll have to send someone to investigate." Kong Youde smirked: "This is just a little foolish opinion of the minister, how to make an idea, only Bei Ziye has the right to decide, and the minister will not talk nonsense." ”

Shuo Tuo snorted, Kong Youde still refused to take the blame after all, he muttered for a while, always floating on the sea is obviously not a way.

"King Sanshun is an old soldier, let's talk about how to attack this island." He said reluctantly.

At this time, he was not very willing, because he did not have an inch, the North Koreans had just fired artillery, and he didn't know if he had killed the Ming army on several islands, which made him go back and report the battle situation to Huang Taiji! So he was still inclined to attack again, but this time, it was obvious that the North Koreans could not be used.

"What Prince Kong said is that although the island's artillery is light and easy to move, its range is long, greater than that of the North Korean ships, and now only the red-coated cannon can compare with it in terms of range. We brought a total of sixteen red-coated cannons with us this time, and we mounted them on the big ship, so that we could fight against them. In addition, the opponent's artillery has another disadvantage, that is, the number is small, but about eight, and the gunners are not very accurate, so as long as we scatter the ship and attack the island from several places at the same time, its artillery will not be able to take care of it, so we can use the ship artillery to cover the beach-grabbing soldiers......"

After Shang Kexi heard Kong Youde's words, he also realized this, so he began to be active again. He took care of his own ideas, but he didn't notice that Shuotuo's complexion was already a little worse, and later, Shuotuo interrupted him very dryly: "King Zhishun, how about your department to rush to the beach?" ”

"Ah......h

Shang Kexi was stunned, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

If it was usual, this was an opportunity he wished for, but now it is obvious that reinforcements from the Ming army came from Phi Island, and this support army has extremely strong firepower, and the Han army flag in his hand is only a few thousand people, which is obviously to die.

But in this situation, can he refuse?

"Yes, the minister is willing to serve!"

Hearing Shang Kexi say this, Shuo Tuo was stunned, Shang Kexi's previous strategy was to use the forward to attract the strong firepower of the Ming army on the island. When Shang Kexi said, Shuo Tuo thought that he had asked him to send someone, so he took him into an army, but he didn't expect him to really take it.

If that's the case, then let the boat go with the flow!

When Jianyu held a military meeting, Sun Lin also patted the dust on his body and returned to Shen Shikui's side. Shen Shikui didn't do anything else, he still stayed on the top of the mountain, but when he saw that he was coming, his expression was different, so he greeted him from afar: "Ah, General Sun, General Sun, sure enough, it's amazing, the hero is a boy!" ”

Shen Shikui's face was bright, which made him more like a businessman who saw a big customer, and his speech seemed to become intermittent because of excitement, and he was a little incomprehensible. In short, he was now very excited, and he seemed to be impressed by Sun Lin.

Sun Lin also enjoyed this feeling.

"What does Mr. Shen mean?" There was a puzzled look on his face.

"Great victory, great victory, there are at least 300 beheadings in this battle, and the number of captures is comparable, which is a rare victory in these years. Mr. Sun is a heroic boy, Shen is convinced! ”

Hearing that he was convinced, Sun Lin laughed, but after all, he was born as a literati, and he also paid attention to decency, so he gave up his hands and humbly: "Don't dare, don't dare, but rely on the soldiers to serve and kill the enemy bravely." ”

Behind Shen Shikui, Shen Zhixiang secretly scolded "stinky and shameless", put a few cannons far away, and then used muskets to hit the enemy who could not advance or retreat on the beach, and the enemy was still the most unbearable North Korean, Sun Lin was embarrassed to say "Kill the enemy bravely"!

But Shen Shikui's attitude was completely different from him, Shen Shikui walked over and even grabbed Sun Lin's hand, and said affectionately: "Frankly speaking, General Sun Bing, just now you asked for unified command of the Denglai soldiers and Dongjiang soldiers, I still murmured a little in my heart, after all, General Sun is too young." Now I am completely relieved, with General Sun here, I have no worries about Dongjiang, and I will return to Liaodong and recapture Lushun, which is just around the corner! ”

Sun Lin nodded, Fang Cai's battle made him feel that Jian Yu was nothing more than that, as long as he gave full play to his advantages in artillery and muskets, then it would not be difficult to win.

"I expect that Jianyu will return in vain today, such a big victory, how can I not reward the three armies?" Shen Shikui stretched out a finger: "In this way, I will go back and prepare a thousand taels of silver as a bonus reward, less is less, but now Phi Dao is lonely, and there is only this bit of family foundation." ”

"There is no need for silver, but there are pigs and live sheep and the like, so send some if you can." Sun Lin was also not polite: "Don't hide it from Chief Shen, my soldiers are embarrassed." ”

Shen Shikui smiled and nodded, and then bowed his hand. He left from the back mountain with his own soldiers, and happened to meet Huo Yan who came up the mountain, Huo Yan didn't salute when he saw him, and strode proudly and went straight up the mountain.

"It's so majestic, kill a few North Koreans, and you will be like this!" Shen Zhixiang said angrily.

"Less nonsense." Shen Shikui glanced at him.

Shen Zhixiang knew that this was still within the control of Denglai Bing, and he really had to be cautious when he spoke, and when they stayed away from here, they all agreed that Shen Shikui, Bai Dengyong, Jin Yueguan, etc. were all relieved, even Shen Zhixiang, who had always been extremely unconvinced by Sun Lin, was the same.

Everyone looked at each other, and then they all smiled wryly.

In Sun Lin, to be exact, in Huo Yan, they felt a kind of determination that they had never seen before. This Ming Dynasty has sunk in its twilight, and among the officials they have contacted before, few people have this kind of determination.

Perhaps Yuan Chonghuan, who landed on Phi Island ten years ago and killed Mao Dashuai, also has this kind of determination. But at that time, Yuan Chonghuan was qualified to have this kind of determination, that was the majesty of the Ming imperial power represented behind him, why did this Huo Yan have no imperial power behind him!

What's more, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty has long since lost the power it had at that time. Shen Shikui can be sure that if another governor and minister of the Qin mission go to Phi Island to cut off his head, the ten ** who turned around is this minister of the Qin mission.

"The matter of pigs and sheep, Zhixiang, you can do it, and send ten pigs and twenty sheep over." When he got to his own army, Shen Shikui ordered.

"Do you really send pigs and sheep to these Denglai soldiers?" Shen Zhixiang was puzzled.

"Send it, not only to send pigs and sheep, but also to send the 1,000 taels of silver I promised."

"Then why, isn't it just to get out, in my opinion, we should set up a banquet now, lure Sun Lin and that Huo Yan to kill, and bring their soldiers together!" The greedy light in Shen Zhixiang's eyes flashed: "If there are these 8,000 soldiers, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

"What are you going to do with these eight thousand soldiers, idiot!" Shen Shikui really couldn't stand his nephew's stupidity, and scolded: "Such a soldier, can't afford one or two hundred taels of silver a year?" 8,000 taels will cost 800,000 taels, where do you go to change these 800,000 taels, if you use them to fight, it will cost even more - I just asked, this General Sun does not embezzle military salaries and does not eat empty amounts, where do you say you go to get so much silver? ”

"Yes...... Can ......"

"Do you think that with these 8,000 soldiers, you can really stop the captives?" Shen Shikui had to be all haired at this time, and there was no merchant philistine, and he finally had a bit of military demeanor: "How many soldiers did Mao Dashuai have?" Two hundred thousand! Among them, there are only 8,000 elites, and they are all those who have a deep blood feud with Jianyu, and they scream for their lives when they start a battle, what is the result? ”

At the beginning, Mao Wenlong's 200,000 army was a false report, and when the imperial court verified it, it was actually only 28,000, but Shen Shikui shouted out at this time, and Shen Zhixiang certainly didn't dare to refute it.

"It's an opportunity, an opportunity! Since his grandson Lin came to the door to send him to death, this Dongjiang Town is for him, and we just go back! Shen Shikui lowered his voice: "You go and prepare the boat, we are going to leave Phi Island, doesn't he want soldiers, leave all those soldiers to him, don't you understand?" ”

"Uncle's meaning?"

"Let's go, let his grandson come and clean up the mess, during this time, let's go to the imperial court to carry out activities and see if we can reconcile with him, it seems that Denglai is a good place!" Speaking of this, Shen Shikui's eyes were full of greed.
