readx; The first wave of tentative attacks was completely annihilated, and the Len Eli and Kakdu Li did not dare to attack again. This is no better than attacking www.biquge.info city, even if it can't be attacked, it can still withdraw more than half, and it can more or less consume the strength of the defenders, at least it can consume ammunition. However, according to this method of fighting, as long as the warships of the Ming army are strong enough, how can they be filled with as many collisions as they come, how many deaths will be killed, and how can they fill the sea with human lives. Therefore, the Qing army immediately retreated with the whole army, of course, not really retreating, but only retreating a hundred steps away from the coast, which means that it wants to fight a protracted war.

Shi Chunhu had participated in the defense of the Beijing Division, and he was very familiar with the cannon on the bow of the Phi Dao, so he asked Huang Long: "Lord Commander, isn't this the Yuanrong cannon?" ”

"Exactly." Huang Long said, "This cannon was originally dismantled from a Portuguese warship, and the Holy Lord named it 'Yuan Rong Cannon'. However, on the ship, according to the training rules issued by the Ministry of War, this gun is still called the 'bow main gun' according to its function. There was also the Easy Cannon, which was also renamed the broadside gun on the ship. ”

"This cannon has an extremely long range, and the maximum range can reach three miles away, that is, nine hundred steps." Shi Chunhu asked, "During the naval battle during the day, the Phi Dao also fired artillery at 500 paces away to bombard the enemy ships, and the effect was quite good, so why not open artillery to bombard the Tartars at this time?" ”

Huang Long smiled slightly and said: "If the North Korean sailors don't come, this soldier will indeed fire with all his strength and kill and injure the Tartars as much as possible, in order to retreat his troops quickly." However, General Mao and Shi Qianhu cleverly lured the Korean sailors, and Li Guandao had wiped them out, and now the ships of the Korean sailors are all used by us, and I expect that the Tartars will not have many ships available. They can retreat on their own, and if they don't, they might as well attract them here. The grain stock on Phi Island is enough to support more than a year, and it can also receive support from Shanhaiguan, Dengzhou and other places at any time, and it is absolutely not afraid of the Tartar attack. The Tartars went on an expedition for Phi Dao, but they found nothing, and the pressure could be reduced a lot with the high governor of Shanhaiguan. ”

After saying this, Shi Chunhu suddenly opened his mouth and nodded frequently, but Mao Wenlong's old face was slightly red, and he didn't dare to pick up the stubble. I thought that if I changed myself, I would definitely take this opportunity to ask the court for a lot of money, although the court was helpless, I also offended people from top to bottom. So much so that after he was arrested in Beijing, no one interceded for himself, if it wasn't for the emperor still wanting to use him, I was afraid that his head would have already moved. This Huanglong looks honest, but now he is sitting firmly in Dongjiang Town, and he will soar in the future, but he is afraid that he will be far above himself... But now it's too late to regret it, and Mao Wenlong has no choice but to hide his envy, jealousy and hatred deep in his heart, hoping to leave this sad place as soon as possible and return to Beijing to report his military exploits to the emperor.

In the second half of the night, the Qing army did not attack, so Huang Long sent a small boat to send Mao Wenlong and Shi Chunhu back to Phi Dao to rest, while he stayed on the Phi Dao to closely monitor the movements of the Qing army. Since leaving the Beijing Division a few months ago, Shi Chunhu has to prepare to fight against the harsh environment and the sudden appearance of enemies outside, and he has to monitor Mao Wenlong inside, and he has not been able to sleep soundly for a day; Today I finally returned to the land of Daming, although it was just an island, I still felt extremely relaxed, and I fell asleep as soon as my head was on the pillow.

It wasn't until three poles in the morning that Shi Chunhu was awakened by the rumbling cannon, and he rushed out of the room without even bothering to put on his clothes. But he saw Mao Wenlong leisurely punching and kicking in the courtyard, and when he saw Shi Chunhu, he smiled and said: "Brother Shi is really young and strong, but it's better to put on clothes." The sea breeze is not as good as the land breeze, and the moisture is the most likely to invade the body, don't you feel anything now, when you are as old as me, it will be painful and unbearable. ”

Shi Chunhu didn't have the heart to joke, and hurriedly said, "Is it that the Tartars are attacking?" ”

"Don't worry." Mao Wenlong pointed with his hand and said, "You can see it clearly from here, let's make a pot of tea first, and enjoy tea here to watch the battle." ”

Only then did Shi Chunhu realize that the location where they were located was almost the highest place on Phi Island, and looking northeast, the battlefield could be seen at a glance.

I saw that the battleships of Dongjiang Town and Li Yunhao's "Weihai" and other three battleships were lined up on the north side of Phi Dao, and they frequently opened fire with their side guns. However, the target is not the Qing army, but a large area of sea ice. It turned out that after a cold night, the sea ice had grown more than 20 steps, and it was less than 80 steps away from Phi Island. To ensure safety, Huang Long ordered all ships to fire sea ice in a salvo. Originally, this section of ice had just been frozen last night, and it was not very strong, but when it was bombarded by a solid cannonball, it immediately cracked with a click, and then was washed away by the raging waves.

And the Qing army was not idle that night, as all the fishing boats they had seized from the nearby villages had been delivered, and sixty or seventy wooden platoons had been prepared, scattered over a wide frontage of twenty miles, and it seemed that they would soon launch a full-scale attack.

At this time, the ships of the Ming army suddenly stopped firing and slowly retreated. Suddenly, the golden drums in the Qing army's formation were loud, the horns sounded in unison, and a large number of Qing troops carried fishing boats and wooden rafts to the ice, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

Shi Chunhu looked anxious and asked nervously: "Our army only has twelve warships, but the Tartars have nearly a hundred large and small ships, once they break through..."

Mao Wenlong pouted with a little jealousy: "You can sit at ease." Alas, Huanglong was so lucky to catch up with such a bunch of stupid tartars. If Phi Dao is still in the hands of my elder brother, this credit will at least be crowned..."

Shi Chunhu was skeptical, and hurriedly dressed up neatly, ready to assist in guarding the island. Hearing the sudden sound of artillery, I saw that the ships led by the Phi Dao were again firing a salvo from their side guns. Because the distance between the two sides was too close, and the fishing boats temporarily captured by the Qing army did not have any firearms, it was equivalent to being beaten by a live target at sea, and the consequences could be imagined. The turtle boats that the Koreans are proud of cannonballs can't withstand the bombardment of shells, let alone these small broken fishing boats, as long as they are bombarded, it is not just as simple as making a hole in the hull, but directly falling apart, and all the Qing troops on it will fall into the water.

With only two salvos, five fishing boats were destroyed, and as for those wooden rows, Huang Long didn't bother to fire their cannons, just waiting for them to approach, and then hit them with big boats. And the Qing army was not stupid, seeing that this kind of attack was no different from suicide, they hurriedly turned back with their lives, and even didn't even want fishing boats and wooden rafts, and ran away with their heads in their arms. The morale of the Ming army on the ship and on the island was greatly boosted, and they laughed and scolded, especially many soldiers who had learned a lot of Jurchen swear words from Mao Wenlong in the past.

At this time, the Phi Dao suddenly and slowly turned its direction and aimed its bow main gun at the Qing army camp. The Qing army didn't know that this cannon had a long range, and thought it was the same range as the side gun, so they didn't care. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the muzzle of the main cannon erupted a tongue of fire more than eight feet long, throwing a cannonball far away, drawing a perfect parabola with a length of 400 steps in the air, and it hit the tent of the commander of the Qing army!
