Chapter 1335: The Phi Dao
readx; Huanglong, Mao Wenlong, Shi Chunhu and others looked across the bank from the flagship "Phi Dao" and saw a large number of Manchu troops rushing from the northeast to Tieshan City, which was located at the top of the peninsula. In front of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info were cavalry, with a strength of about 8,000, and the infantry was slightly behind, and there were also 5,000 or 6,000 people. The cavalry at the front held aloft a large flag with a white background, embroidered with a dark red dragon with teeth and claws, which was the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's white flag.
But before the Manchu cavalry could approach, a fire broke out in the city of Tieshan. The Qing army was a little inexplicable, and only quickly surrounded Tieshan City, shouting under the city that the Korean defenders would open the city gate, but no one paid attention to it, and the fire became bigger and bigger.
"There are no living people left in Iron Mountain City." Mao Wenlong smiled proudly, "Brother Shi, you are still too cautious, the North Koreans are not allowed to enter, so we will not enter?" As soon as you left for half a day, I found an excuse to strictly order the North Koreans to open the city, otherwise they would attack it. North Koreans are cowardly by nature, how dare they disobey, we have been eating, drinking and merrymaking in the city for several days, if it weren't for the Tartars coming, the old brother would really be a little happy! Before leaving, kill him completely, and put a fire, and when the Tartar comes, he can only harvest a pile of rubble. ”
He said it very easily, but everyone listened to it and their hearts sank, secretly saying that Mao Wenlong's heart was really vicious. There are very few Korean soldiers in Tieshan City, and most of them are civilians, even women and children, and it is not difficult to guess what he means by "eating, drinking, and having fun". Although North Korea surrendered to the Manchus, it did not kill the Ming Dynasty after all. Mao Wenlong was so cruel to the innocent North Korean people, and everyone felt very uncomfortable. Especially Li Yunhao, although he joined the Daming Water Division, he still has a deep affection for North Korea, and his eyes are red with anger, and he has repeatedly forbearance before he does anything to Mao Wenlong.
Soon the fire had engulfed the entire city of Tieshan, and the Qing army saw that they could not enter the city, so they had to camp directly in the field. The leader of the troops is indeed the two generals of the Zhengbai Banner, one is called Leng Eli and the other is called Kake Duli, who is the right-hand man of the Zhengbai Banner Lord Zilharang. This time, they were ordered by Huang Taiji to join forces with North Korea to attack Phi Dao and pull out this thorn in the flesh. The reason why this time was chosen is that the sea freezes firmly in the middle of winter, which is convenient for crossing the sea; the second is to receive a secret letter from the traitor Wang Cai, and the agreed day is these days; Third, the Korean king Yi Liang agreed to send sailors to cooperate in the attack on Phi Dao, and the letter of state had just been sent to the Yalu River.
These two generals set out from Quang Ninh with their troops, and had been waiting by the Yalu River for more than ten days, and after waiting for the North Korean response, they immediately rushed to kill Ben Tieshan, and arrived in less than a day. However, they didn't know that Mao Wenlong had already arrived at Tieshan one step ahead of them and killed the real envoy, let alone that the Korean sailors had just been completely annihilated. The two waited on the shore for more than an hour, only to see that Phi Dao was heavily guarded, but they did not even see a single North Korean ship that responded, and they couldn't help but be so angry that they scolded the North Koreans for not being trustworthy.
Scolding and scolding, the army has already been dispatched, and it is absolutely impossible to retreat without fighting. The Qing army quickly spread along the coastline, from the north to the east, forming a semi-encirclement of Phi Dao across the sea, but it was not in a hurry to attack, but buried pots to cook, feed horses, and organize ordnance.
"It seems that the Tartars want to attack when the temperature drops at night and the sea ice increases, and they may also need to find some fishing boats to cross the sea." Huang Long sighed, "Fortunately, the North Korean sailors have been destroyed, otherwise more than 40 ships would be ferryed together, and the ice-free area on the sea is only half a mile, so it is inevitable to take care of one or the other." Now we might as well wait and see what the Tartars are capable of. ”
After nightfall, the Qing army really snatched eleven fishing boats from Korean fishing villages within a radius of dozens of miles, and forced the fishermen to carry them to Tieshan; He also cut down some large trees, and planned to make wooden rafts and canoes to cross the sea. At the same time, the temperature plummeted during the night, and the ice quickly stretched towards the Phi Island, and the width of the sea quickly shortened from 200 to 100 paces. As soon as Elenli and Kake Duli discussed, they let about 300 soldiers of the Han army banner launch a tentative attack from the ice first.
If you want to talk about the combat methods of the Qing army, there is really nothing new, as long as it is a siege, you must first let the Han army flag be cannon fodder. These traitors had no choice but to carry more than a dozen wooden rafts that had just been tied, and rushed to the ice with torches and shouts.
"It's just looking for death!" Huang Long frowned, and said very contemptuously, "Don't fire the cannon yet, retreat a little later, and let them go to the sea." ”
At the sound of an order, all the warships of the Ming army slowly retreated westward. Although the Qing army marched on the ice with great difficulty, it was not shelled by the Ming army, and the speed was not slow, and soon rushed to the edge of the sea ice, discharged the wood into the seawater, and more than a dozen people squeezed into a wooden row, and then paddled desperately, rushing towards the side of Phi Dao.
However, they also thought that crossing the sea was too simple. This kind of thing is okay to use in rivers and lakes, but here is the sea, there is no wind and three feet of waves, not to mention that the sea conditions in the Yellow Sea in winter have always been bad, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, and some wooden rafts have just been rowed out and were overturned by the waves within a few feet, and the Qing army above fell into the water together. This is a typical mixture of ice and water, and the temperature is around zero, so can a person fall into it? The Qing army was inexperienced, and they were still wearing thick cotton armor, and they sank when they entered the water, and people fluttered twice on the sea, and they were quickly frozen and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The other Qing soldiers were frightened, but since they became traitors, there was no turning back, so they could only grit their teeth and attack forward. Soon, more than a dozen wooden platoons left the edge of the ice dozens of paces away, and the Qing troops above began to fire arrows indiscriminately at the Ming ship. But no matter how small the warships of the Ming army were, they were all high at the end and tail, and the guards on the sides of the ships were also on the sides, like a small city on the sea, unless the distance was very close, the bow and arrow did not play a role at all. The Ming army was unmoved, let the Qing army release arrows, and gradually led the Qing army to a wide place on the sea.
Only then did Huang Long snort coldly and said, "The other warships don't move, and the Phi Dao crashes over!" ”
At the sound of an order, all the sails on the Phi Dao were suddenly opened, and with the help of the strong sea breeze, the 800-year-old battleship suddenly accelerated. This ship is Mao Wenlong's ship in the past, and it is the largest of the battleships on Phi Dao. Although the displacement of 800 materials is equivalent to 400 tons at most, which is far from the 800 tons displacement of the flagship of the North Sea Fleet, the "Princess Anna", in front of these small wooden rows, it is completely a behemoth like a small mountain. The ship's sailors skillfully controlled the rudder and let the Phi Island crash straight into the dozen or so wooden rafts.
The Qing soldiers on the wooden platoon all screamed in horror, and they wanted to run away. But this is on the sea, where are they going? Listening to a "boom", the Phi Dao hit the first wooden platoon and immediately knocked it apart; And then the momentum did not decrease at all, and it hit the second and third ... With the happy cheers of the Ming army and the desperate screams of the Qing army, more than a dozen wooden platoons were all smashed and destroyed, and none of the 300 Qing troops remained, all of them were buried in the icy sea!
