Chapter 511: God, the Tiger Ben Army actually hit Changsheng Island!
Liaodong,Bohai Bay,.
Changsheng Island is an important island in the northeast of Bohai Bay, and it is only a small waterway from the land to the east, which can be floated through even the most rudimentary sampan. Therefore, Changsheng Island is generally considered to be an extension of Fuzhou Wei, and the Tatars on land can directly control it. On the other hand, taking control of Changsheng Island can also seriously threaten Fuzhou Wei. Therefore, the strategic position of Changsheng Island is very important. Whether it was the Ming army before or the Tartars after, heavy troops were stationed here.
Fuzhou Bay, located in the north of Changxing Island, is a barely passable harbor. In the past, Fuzhou Bay was once very lively. When the Tartars had not yet occupied Fuzhouwei, it was an important logistics base for the Ming army. A large number of materials and personnel from the mainland were disembarked on Changsheng Island and then entered Liaodong. On top of Changsheng Island, there are also a large number of material warehouses. In Fuzhou Bay, there is also a special wharf for the Daming Water Division.
At the beginning, relying on the favorable strategic position of Changsheng Island, the Ming army held out for a relatively long time in the battle of Fuzhou Wei. Especially when Mao Wenlong was in charge of Dongjiang Town, Changsheng Island used to give Tartars a lot of headaches. Later, Mao Wenlong was killed, and Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what the considerations were, so he took the initiative to retreat from the Ming army on Changsheng Island and lost it to the Tartars.
After the Tatars occupied Fuzhou Wei, the Daming Naval Division withdrew, and Fuzhou Bay suddenly became extremely deserted. After the Tartars completely expelled the Ming defenders on Changsheng Island, they temporarily abandoned this place. And the Ming army did not counterattack in time. For the past five or six years, Changsheng Island has been a desert island. However, after July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Fuzhou Bay gradually became lively again, and there were many ships coming and going. Changsheng Island is also gradually becoming lively, and the number of Tartars stationed for a long time is constantly increasing.
In the harbor, which has not yet been repaired, a large number of warships are docked, and dozens of tall masts, like spikes, pierce into the gray sky. If anyone in the know appears here, they will find that on these warships, there are the emblems of the Dengzhou Naval Division. That's right, this is the new base of the Dengzhou Mariner.
As the commander of the Dengzhou Water Division, Guo Lin has been in a very bad mood recently. When did the bad mood begin? Of course, it was from when I heard that the Tartars were defeated in Huang County. As soon as he heard the term Tiger Benjun, Guo Lin seemed a little uneasy. The scenes of the encounter with the Tiger Ben Army Navy that day resurfaced in front of him.
After the Dengzhou Navy Division took refuge in the Tartars, it was forcibly transferred to Fuzhou Bay and stationed. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the control of the Dengzhou Naval Division and prevent someone from making trouble or even launching a rebellion. On the other hand, it is also to better prevent the Dengzhou Navy Division from being attacked suddenly. After all, after the rebellion, the Dengzhou Navy Division was severely condemned by the Ming State. The imperial court also ordered the Tianjin Navy Division to arrest all the traitorous thieves of the Dengzhou Navy Division and severely punish them.
Although the strength of the Tianjin Naval Division is also very weak, it is not yet known who will kill the deer in a real fight with the Dengzhou Naval Division. However, for the sake of safety, the Tartars decided to transfer the Dengzhou Sailor to their direct protection. Next to Fuzhou Bay, there is the Fuzhou Guard, where a large number of Tartars are stationed. At the same time, after the Dengzhou Naval Division was stationed in Fuzhou Bay, the Tartars also arranged a garrison on Changsheng Island.
In order to strengthen the surveillance of the Dengzhou Naval Division and at the same time prevent the harm of foreign forces to the Dengzhou Naval Division, the Tartars deployed 500 men on Changsheng Island in the southern part of Fuzhou Bay. The command yamen of the Dengzhou Naval Division, which was also set up on the top of Changsheng Island, was directly monitored by the Tartars. All actions of the Dengzhou Naval Division must be approved by the garrison of the Tartars. In other words, no matter what Guo Lin wants to do, he must talk to the Tartar and get the permission of the Tartar, otherwise, he may be arrested and executed.
In the morning, Guo Lin went out to communicate with the leaders of the Tartars, asking them to send more tea to Changsheng Island. For sailors who sail the seas all year round, fresh greens are a very luxurious food that can rarely be eaten. To prevent scurvy, tea must be drunk every day. However, tea, which was not a problem in the Ming Kingdom, was very problematic in the Dajin Kingdom. Dajin lacks fresh vegetables and at the same time lacks enough tea, even the worst quality.
The main tea-producing areas of the Ming Kingdom were in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other Jiangnan regions, and the looting of the Tatars obviously could not endanger here. Therefore, each time the Tartars loot, the tea leaves are limited. The tartar itself also consumes a significant amount of tea. Therefore, they did not have much tea to supply to the Dengzhou Marine. It can only maintain the most basic needs of the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division.
The leader of the Tartars stationed on Changsheng Island, called Ao Shan, belongs to the Zhenglan Banner, and his position is Jialazhangjing. Ao Shan's official position is not big, his temper is not small, and he is always very contemptuous of the Han people. The banner owner of the blue flag is Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, who has recently been in the limelight, and it is no wonder that Ao Shan's eyes are above the top and he is arrogant. Every time Guo Lin went to look for this Ao Shan, Ao Shan stared at him like a bear, as if he wanted to swallow Guo Lin alive on the spot. If there was really no way, Guo Lin was not willing to go to this Ao Shan at all.
On the top of Changsheng Island, there are no perfect houses. The original warehouses of the Ming army were all set on fire by the Tartars. After the Dengzhou Sailor was transferred here, it could only be camped in the open air. Fortunately, the climate at that time was generally less rainy, and there were no major problems for the time being. The Tartars didn't have to camp, they were camped in cowhide tents. The largest tent was Ao Shan's residence.
"Bang!"
Thinking of dealing with Ao Shan, who is like a bear, Guo Lin had a headache, and his steps slowed down involuntarily. He walked slowly to a place about forty-five feet away from Ao Shan's tent, and suddenly heard a gunshot.
Guo Lin instinctively realized that it should be a gunshot, but intellectually told himself that it was impossible. At the same time, because the gunshots came very suddenly, Guo Lin couldn't determine where the gunshots came from. The Tartars on Changsheng Island are all bows, arrows, knives and guns, and there are no firearms at all, where do the guns come from? All the firearms of the Dengzhou Sailor have long been gathered by the Tartars and stored in the warehouse. Without the approval of the Tartars, the Dengzhou Sailors simply could not find any decent weapons. Could it be that someone in the Tartars is playing with firearms?
"Bang!"
Before Guo Lin could figure out what was going on, he heard a gunshot again.
This time, Guo Lin heard the exact direction of the gunshot, and he hurriedly looked over there.
"Enemy!"
This didn't matter how tightly he looked, and he almost made Guo Lin's legs tremble.
It turned out that in front of him, about thirty or forty feet away, there was a patrol of Tartars. In the midst of the gunshots, a Tartar fell to the ground with blood splattered. The other tartars were in a mess, and some people were throwing arrows indiscriminately in all directions. Judging from the white smoke coming out of the firecracker, the projectile should have been shot from behind the grass, but behind the grass, but there was no human figure in sight.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, several more gunshots rang out.
In an instant, several more Tartars fell to the ground one after another.
"There is an enemy attacking Immortal Island!
Guo Lin's first reaction was that there was a strong enemy on Changsheng Island.
However, he could not see the details of the enemy at all, only the white smoke that had risen from the fire behind the grass. However, due to the obstruction of the grass, Guo Lin could not see who the enemy was and how many people there were. Since Changsheng Island has been uninhabited for too long, many of the weeds in the grass are taller than human heads, and it is not a problem to hide a few enemies.
Not only Guo Lin couldn't see it clearly, but even the Tartar patrol team that was attacked couldn't see it clearly. After being attacked, the Tartars blindly fired their arrows into the grass, but unfortunately found that their arrows fell from the air before they could reach the dense grass.
"Who?"
"Who dares to come to Eternal Life Island to spread wild?"
The Tartar's reaction was still relatively fast, and with a loud shout, Ao Shan appeared.
Ao Shan was a very tall tartar with two battle axes in his hands and a heavy longbow behind his back, looking like a big bear covered in thorns. In fact, Ao Shan is not only good at archery, but also good at hand-to-hand combat. Waiting for more than a dozen Ming troops, they couldn't get close to his side at all. It's just that Guo Lin secretly slandered behind his back, this Ao Shan's intelligence is only about a ten-year-old child at most.
"Guo Lin!"
"Isn't it your man?"
When Ao Shan saw Guo Lin, he immediately asked murderously, the axe in his hand shook one after another, and the axe exuded a terrifying coldness. He gave people the feeling that Guo Lin's answer, a little hesitation, was about to be unfavorable to Guo Lin. Dolgon took these rebels more seriously, but Ao Shan was the other extreme. For those who betrayed their masters, Ao Shan has never looked down on them.
"It's not!"
Guo Lin was slightly stunned, and immediately replied instinctively.
He felt Ao Shan's murderous aura, and of course he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so as not to get into trouble.
"It's good that it's not yours!"
"Otherwise, I will make them all die in front of you!"
Ao Xian shouted fiercely.
There is a good character in his name, which is completely due to the transliteration relationship, and has nothing to do with the meaning of the good word itself. On the contrary, all the rebels know that on the island of eternal life, there is a very murderous Tartar leader, who looks like a big bear. It is said that this Tartar leader killed a large number of Han Chinese during his two invasions. Every time the Tartars slaughtered the city, they had this Ao Shan's share.
"Not my people!"
"Definitely not my people!"
At such a critical juncture, Guo Lin certainly has to clear it up.
For a Tartar leader like Ao Shan, Guo Lin is still very taboo. In fact, in Guo Lin's heart, he already regretted it. If he had known that after surrendering the Tartars, he would have to deal with a Tartar leader like a big bear, Guo Lin would have seriously considered whether to surrender the Tartars. It's a pity that once I lost my footing, I hated it for thousands of years, and then I turned back for a hundred years. Guo Lin wants to turn back now, and the stains on his body can't be washed away.
"The enemy is coming!"
"Catch them!"
Ao Shan glared at Guo Lin fiercely, and then shouted loudly.
With Ao Shan's shouting, a large number of Tartar soldiers came out of the tent.
These Tartars stationed on Eternal Life Island belong to the sequence of the positive blue flag and are Hauge's people. And Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei, most of the Tartars, belong to the sequence of positive white flags and inlaid white flags. They belong to the Zhenglan Banner, and the main purpose of coming to Immortal Island is tacitly understood by the people inside the Tartars. Therefore, these Tartars are all the elite of the Blue Banner, there are only two Niu Lu Zhangjing, but there are more than thirty white-armored soldiers. It can be seen that these two cattle records have been specially strengthened.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, several more gunshots rang out in succession.
Several of the tartars that had just been drilled out had fallen. The projectile that flew from the grass hit them in the vital point of the body, knocking them directly to the ground. Some of the Tartars have gone to hell before they even know what is going on. The remnants of the tartars hurriedly dispersed, keeping a close eye on the grass in the distance.
Guo Lin hid behind, quietly looked around, and found that the enemy who fired the shot was still hiding behind the grass. Because the weeds were too tall and dense, he could only see the white smoke coming out of the firecracker, but he couldn't prepare to see what the enemy really looked like.
"Quack!"
Ao Shan was so angry that he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, brandished the waist knife in his hand, and roared viciously.
Someone actually broke into the top of Immortal Island and shot at them, which was really rampant. In recent years, in Liaodong, there has been no Ming army that dares to take the initiative to provoke the Tartars, and it has always been the Tartars who have taken the initiative to find trouble with the Ming army. He must teach these rampant Ming troops a good lesson. Ao Shan, who is simple-minded, will attack the enemy as the Ming army in the Jinzhou area of Liaodong.
Based on the white smoke from the firing fire, the Tartar archers determined the enemy's position and outflanked him. Dealing with these sporadic Ming troops, the Tartars were still very experienced, and they slowly touched them from different angles, as if they were approaching their prey. Once the prey is within range of the Tartar's bow and arrows, the Tartar will fire a salvage of arrows to completely end the prey.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
However, the prey in the grass is obviously very dangerous. A sudden shot was heard, and another Tartar archer fell to the ground. Then there were a few more gunshots, and more Tartars fell to the ground, kicking their legs in pain, and then there was no sound. Around them, weapons such as bows and arrows, scimitars, etc., were scattered all over the ground.
This time, Guo Lin finally saw the person who attacked the Tartar.
Gray military uniform......
"It's the Tiger Army!"
Guo Lin was taken aback and couldn't help but scream.
God, the Tiger Ben Army actually hit Changsheng Island!
Guo Lin is too familiar with this peculiar gray military uniform. At the beginning, when he was lured south by Ruan Dacheng, he was defeated by the man in this gray military uniform, and he almost couldn't come back. Therefore, even if it turned to ashes, he would recognize this military uniform.
"Tiger Army?"
"You say they're the Tiger Army?"
Ao Shan's eyes suddenly lit up,
After the news of the defeat of Dorgon and Duoduo in Huangxian came, the Tartars were absolutely no stranger to the three words of the Tiger Army. Among all kinds of rumors, the three words Tiger Benjun seem to have some kind of magic that can attract everyone to the past. However, there are not many people who have actually seen the Tiger Army. Ao Shan himself has not seen the Tiger Ben Army with his own eyes.
"They are indeed tiger soldiers!"
Guo Lin said obscurely.
Why the Tiger Ben Army appeared on Changsheng Island, Guo Lin couldn't speculate. However, he was keenly aware that the arrival of the Tiger Ben Army was not a good thing for him. Fortunately, it was the Tartars on Changsheng Island that the Tiger Ben Army wanted to attack, not the warships in Fuzhou Bay. Otherwise, he is definitely unlucky.
Luo Kai and others carried out the stone-throwing plan to ask for directions, he knew a little bit, but it was not deeply involved. Because, Ao Shan's monitoring of him is very strict, and Guo Lin doesn't want to get into trouble. This time, the Tiger Ben Army arrived suddenly, and Guo Lin didn't know if Luo Kai and the others had already made contact with the Tiger Ben Army. If they don't get in touch, the Tiger Army will come to the door, they are too dangerous. The Chinese people have always hated traitors, and once they are caught, they will never be spared.
Ao Shan didn't feel the slightest danger. On the contrary, he actually felt the excitement. He was very glad that he had actually come into contact with the Tiger Army. At this most critical time, if he can eliminate a group of tiger army, he will inevitably attract great attention from above. Haoge, the banner owner, is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and is deeply favored by Huang Taiji, as long as Haoge takes a fancy to himself, the future glory and wealth will not be a problem at all.
Is the Tiger Army very powerful? Not necessarily! Ao Shan believes that the reason for the defeat of Huangxian must be that the Tiger Ben Army used conspiracy and tricks, or that there was a problem within the Tartars. Those idiots with the white flag and the white flag were actually defeated by the Tiger Army, and Ao Shan deeply despised them. Now, he wants to use the warriors of the blue flag to tell the Tiger Benjun who is the real king!
"Go up!"
"Catch them!"
Ao Shan roared hysterically.
A large number of Tartars rushed towards the grass where the Tiger Ben Army was hiding.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a dull gunshot rang out.
"Poof!"
A white-armored soldier of a tartar snorted and fell to the ground, his bow and arrows scattered all over the ground. After he fell, blood slowly seeped out from the bottom of his body. The silver-white armor on his chest has only a small hole.
"Bang!"
Before the other Tartars could react, another dull gunshot rang out.
"Poof!"
Another Tartar soldier in white armor was thrown to the ground, and although he still held the scimitar tightly in his hand, he had stopped breathing. His eyes were still open, as if he didn't believe that he would be beaten to death like this. He also counted on killing a few tiger soldiers with his own hands to avenge his comrades who were killed in Huang County. Unexpectedly, I went to meet my companions in advance.
"Tiger Army......
"It's amazing......"
When Guo Lin saw it in the back, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.
