Chapter 392: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice
One of the Hou Jin Niu Lu Ezhen was ordered by Huang Taiji to lead 1,500 elite Hou Jin soldiers to approach Phi Dao and sent someone to get in touch with Liu Xingzhi. The two sides quickly agreed on a plan www.biquge.info attack on Phi Dao.
With the help of Liu Xingzhi, all the Houjin soldiers changed into the clothes of the Ming army, and Liu Xingzhi used his ships stationed on the island to transport the Houjin army to Phi Dao in batches, hiding in the mountains and forests. After the personnel arrived at Qi Niulu's order, the Jin people prepared to attack. He was waiting for the opportunity, and before that, they had made an appointment with Liu Xingzhi to act at the same time. Liu Xingzhi had greater ambitions after studying the situation of the two sides.
Liu Xingzhi estimated that Zhang Chu would bring 1,000 people ashore, and the number of troops left in the fleet would definitely not be too much, and if Zhang Chu was attacked again, the fleet would definitely be in chaos, and this was a great opportunity to seize the ships of the security forces, and he was ready to organize a large number of small boats to take advantage of the advantage in numbers to seize the ships of the security forces.
In the past few days when Liu Xingzhi was preparing for Jin after surrendering, Zhang Chu has always been in contact with Liu Jisheng and others. Under Liu Jisheng's strong persuasion, Mao Chengzuo and Xu Futai had agreed to accept Zhang Chu's adaptation of the Dongjiang soldiers, and even Sun Xingzhi falsely agreed to accept Zhang Chu's adaptation.
There was a peaceful atmosphere on Phi Island, and Mao Chengzuo's people were waiting to accept the reorganization, and everyone would receive food and pay to live a new life. The security forces on the shore also believe that the main goal of the trip will be achieved, and they are preparing for the future development of Phi Dao.
On such a morning, a group of Ming troops walked out of the mountains and forests of Phi Island, and they assembled in a formation while advancing towards the garrison of the security army.
A large number of small boats full of soldiers also appeared above the sea, and the soldiers rowed desperately to the flotilla of the security forces moored on the sea.
The security guard immediately noticed the abnormality of the situation and raised an alarm, and various passwords in the security army immediately sounded, and the entire camp was in chaos.
Mao Chengzuo also received a report and ran out to check the situation, and he understood at a glance that this was Liu Xingzhi's rebellion. The people who attacked by small boats on the sea were all Liu Xingzhi's team, and the scale was five or six thousand people. Although the ship of the security army was large, it was in a berthing state and lost its mobility, and once it was approached by a small boat, it formed a gang jumping battle, and Liu Xingzhi's numerical advantage came into play, and it seemed that the security army was going to be in danger.
Just when Mao Chengzuo wanted to send someone to rescue the security army, the group of men and horses advancing towards Zhang Chu's camp on the shore suddenly waved the banner of the Houjin people and accelerated their advance.
This made Mao Chengzuo hesitate, looking at the size of this group of Houjin people, there should be more than 1,000 people, judging from the assembly and attack of the team, it should be a well-trained elite force. According to past examples, more than 1,000 Houjin people can chase after tens of thousands of Ming troops to fight, and they will win in the end, and Zhang Chu has about 1,000 people, and the number is even a little less than that of Houjin, and they will definitely not be able to withstand a charge from Houjin. It's too late to send a team to the rescue. Mao Chengzuo hurriedly ordered his team to assemble and prepare for defense, and he couldn't let the Houjin people defeat Zhang Chu and then turn around and scatter his team.
Niu Lu Ezhen, who led the team of Hou Jin, was full of confidence in this battle, and in order to ensure success when he set off, Huang Taiji ordered him to select the elite of Hou Jin, equipped with the best armor, and specially supplemented the personnel, and the number of Niu Lu soldiers in this team has greatly exceeded the past.
Prior to this, Liu Xingzhi had reported the situation on Phi Dao to Niu Lu Ezhen. Mao Chengzuo usually guards the main island of Phi Island with only more than 3,000 soldiers, and they are scattered all over the island, it is not easy to assemble them all at once, and Zhang Chu's men and horses are only 1,000 people, and there is no danger to defend on the coast.
With the assistance of more than 1,500 people of Houjin and more than 6,000 people of Liu Xingzhi, it was not a problem to eliminate Zhang Chu, and if he turned around and cleaned up Mao Chengzuo on the island, the entire Phi Island would be Houjin's. The removal of the scourge of Phi Dao for many years is a great achievement.
Approaching the camp of the security army on the beach, everything in the camp can be seen more clearly, the flat beach has no terrain to use, and the soft sand should not be able to build a city, the security army only uses heavy vehicles to form a camp wall in a circle around the perimeter, and the Houjin soldiers can push away the vehicles as long as they rush over, and they can easily enter the camp.
"Rush, kill them all!" Niu Lu really gave the order to charge loudly.
All the Houjin people were excited, and they all rushed forward with a roar, such a battle was too easy for them.
The first to give the Houjin people a head-on blow is the security army set up in the middle of the vehicle several light artillery, the security army has eliminated the original Franc machine, all replaced with a new type of rear-loading artillery, loaded with shells, plugged in the bolt, fuse, ignition artillery fired, this is more convenient than the Franc machine.
The artillery fired shotguns, inflicting heavy casualties on the Houjin who charged in dense formation. One shot was knocked down after a shot, and even if the Houjin people were brave, they were beaten and slowed down the pace of the charge.
The artillery bought time for the security forces to assemble, and the security forces, recovering from the initial chaos, quickly rallied within the camp walls. The order to reload the platoon commanders sounded. The soldiers relied on the memories they had cultivated in their usual training to mechanically complete a series of movements, and then pointed their guns beyond the camp walls. With the command to fire, hundreds of muskets were fired one after another, and the soldiers in the front row of the Houjin Assault Force immediately fell down a layer.
"Quick! Fast! It's safe to rush closer. "The Houjin people have experience in dealing with muskets, and the opponent uses muskets, which shows that there will be some casualties at the beginning, and once they enter the white-knuckle battle, the Jin will win. Therefore, Niu Lu Ezhen desperately urged the Houjin soldiers to charge.
Mao Chengzuo gathered some of his soldiers not far from the battlefield, and they became the spectators of this war at close range. They watched in amazement as the security forces recovered from the initial chaos, and the neatly formed Houjin people were disorganized by the combined attack of artillery and muskets.
At this time, there were also bursts of cannon fire on the sea. The Phi Dao soldiers saw an even more tragic scene, the power of the hundreds of guns on the ships was not comparable to the light guns on the shore. Although Liu Xingzhi's rebels were superior in numbers, they did not know that the pattern of naval warfare had changed, and the security forces would never give them a chance to engage in broadside battles again, and the shotguns fired were enough to send most of the rebels into the sea, and the remaining rebels also fell into the water under the blows of the ship's sailors' muskets. A wrecked boat approached the larger ship, and several explosive packets dropped from the ship immediately blew the boat to pieces.
The sea was immediately filled with broken ship planks and the corpses of the rebels.
Mao Chengzuo was stunned, and Liu Xingzhi's more than 6,000 people were finished. (To be continued.) )
