Chapter 428: Losing Badly
Chapter 428 Lost badly
The rain is still falling.
ran all the way, so that the people of Houjin, who were originally quite glamorous, have become clay figures.
Huang Taiji stopped at a mountain pass, here, he could already clearly hear the sound of cannons firing on the river, listening to the deafening sound of cannons, Huang Taiji's heart couldn't stop sinking, and the cannons outside 200 mén were only a lot more.
Huang Taiji was immediately in the rain, his whole body was already drenched in the rain, and he couldn't say anything when he looked at the scene of the Ming Dynasty warships firing on the river in the distance.
The cannons that rang out one after another had already made the faces of the Houjin people who followed them blue, and when they saw Huang Taiji stop, they also stopped, and drove their horses forward, ready to see the scene of the cannon firing on the river.
The river has become very wide, the river has been muddy, if it is the whole Yalu River, the river is a few miles wide, except for the Jiangxin Island, just the river surface, there is still a mile or two, the warships of the Ming Dynasty sailed on the river and broke the làng, the black dòngdòng cannon muzzle, from time to time violently spewed out a puff of white smoke, making a loud sound that shook the sky.
On the west bank of the Yalu River, there are no longer standers. Countless mén cannons fired together, and no bloody body could resist this terrifying thing, and the so-called riding shè sealing the river was nothing more than a joke.
Amin also arrived, and immediately went up to the mountain col, standing on the col stupidly, watching the Ming Dynasty's unscrupulous cannon fire on the river, the anger on his face had been dispersed by the Ming Dynasty's cannons, and the rest was shocked and frightened, and the scene of two or three hundred mén cannons firing together was the first time Amin saw it.
"Xiantai, Xiantai......" Huang Taiji shouted in the rain after being shocked.
"The slave is here," Fan Wencheng hurriedly stepped forward and agreed.
"Don't we still have a few more cannons? Why don't you open fire? Huang Taiji watched the Ming Dynasty warships on the river, hundreds of mén cannons firing fiercely, and suddenly remembered the few mén cannons he still had.
"Oh, the minion is going." Fan Wencheng lowered his head and let the rain cover his face, in front of the hundreds of mén cannons in the Ming Dynasty, what were the few mén cannons in his hand?
Huang Taiji felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, this time, it seems that he has lost, in addition to riding shè, Dajin still rides shè, for the others, it is mén foreigners, encountering today's rainy days, encountering so many warships, encountering such a terrifying cannon Qi shè, there is no place to show it at all.
"Come on, send an order to Jiangxin Island, let them evacuate immediately......" Huang Taiji didn't want to talk nonsense, at this time, it was time to withdraw.
"No, we can't withdraw, we can't withdraw...... withdraw, withdraw, we will have nothing, withdraw, we will lose ......, let the artillery of the Ming Dynasty hit, let them fight, send orders to the people and horses on Jiangxin Island, let them disperse, as long as they pass through, we will have a way to ......" next to Amin shouted wildly.
Huang Taiji looked at Amin, who was already crazy, and didn't say anything, this person didn't put himself in his eyes at all, what he wanted to do was what he opposed, he should die.
“…… Okay, just according to Erbeiler's, don't evacuate for the time being......" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, if you want this nasty thing to die, it seems that some people have to die, with this nasty thing, it is difficult for him to control the entire Dajin. It was extremely difficult to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
“…… Come on, give the order, cut the rope, let the wood down, and set the boat down......" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, since his second brother wants to die, then let him go, and suddenly remembered that he was in the middle of the river, and he also prepared a fire boat and rolled wood.
"No, wait, wait, it's still a little ......early, let the Ming Dynasty warships go up a little more, a little more, and then ......," Amin said on the side.
Huang Taiji looked at Amin, and there was evil in his eyes.
The big Xiǎo Baylors who followed Huang Taiji crowded this Xiǎo mountain pass, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty opened fire wantonly on the river, and bursts of white smoke covered some of the river.
"Newspaper" is another shout. Huang Taiji looked back, only to see Fan Wencheng running over in embarrassment, his hat no longer knew where he had thrown it, covered in mud and his face was pale.
"How's it going? Xiandou, didn't Ben Khan let you shoot? Huang Taiji asked sharply.
"Back to the Great Khan, those cannons have long been knocked out by the Ming Dynasty, and there are no living people on the other side of the artillery position...... Fan Wencheng said with a pale face, just now he ran to the artillery emplacement, and what he saw was the dead corpses in one place, the tattered in one place, this gun emplacement, which only has a few mén cannons, seems to have washed hundreds of mén cannons, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, blood and water everywhere, and broken cannons everywhere. ,
The emperor didn't say anything, but her face became whiter.
"How so, how can this be...... How can this be"
Huang Taiji looked up and saw Amin muttering to himself there stupidly. Look at the river surface again, one by one rolling logs, has floated down the water, on the river, you can still see some "fire boats" drifting down, but there is no fire on the fire boats, not even a few smoke, rolling logs do not break the entire river surface in pieces, but several, several drift down, can not form the effect of blocking the river at all.
"What's going on?" Huang Taiji asked anxiously. Didn't Amin say that it was still too early and that he would order it himself? Why is it floating down on its own now?
"Great Khan, I guess it was the cannon of the Ming Dynasty that broke up those piles of rolling logs by the river...... a person next to him reminded.
Huang Taiji's face turned even whiter.
……
On the warship on the river, Shang Kexi stood at the bow of the ship, full of spirit, and the roar of the fleet behind him proved that in the face of this kind of artillery, the Tartars were not vulnerable at all, and the Tartars wanted to rush up and release arrows at first, but after a few ** cannons, there was no longer a living person in sight, and all the living people had run out.
"Hahaha...... Shang, good news, Captain Rickard said that they have knocked out the Tartar's cannons, and next, they will fire at the Tartars' rolling logs upstream, and they will break up the rolling logs, so that the rolling logs will not block the shipping channel in pieces...... Peter was also crazy excited, and just communicated with Captain Rickards, and then told Shang Kexi the news.
"Okay...... Peter, this time, we have won, see, see, the Tartar is nothing more than that, in front of so many of our cannons, the Tartar doesn't even dare to risk his head......" Shang Kexi held on to the railing, let the rain fall on him, his whole body was full of indescribable ecstasy, the anxiety of many days, and the many days of waiting, finally paid off.
“…… Yes, Shang, we won this time,......" Peter said with a laugh.
"Wait, Peter, look, what's going on in that col? How do you seem to have a lot of people? On the riverbank, all the things that could move were gone, and they were all bombarded into slag by the cannons of the Ming Dynasty.
Both men held up their clairvoyant mirrors and observed.
"It's the Tartar Boss......"
"It's a Tartar head...... "The two men said almost in unison, and then their eyes lit up and they glanced at each other.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
In my ears was the deafening sound of cannons firing.
"Peter, tell Captain Rickards about the situation, and tell him to concentrate on bombarding that col at once, it looks like we're going to pick up a big fish......" Shang Kexi said excitedly.
"No problem......"
……
Huang Taiji looked at the warships of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangxin with a pale face.
Amin looked at Jiang Xin's rolling logs and fireboats that kept drifting down scattered, and just muttered blankly: "How can this be, how can this be ......?"
There was a whistling.
The people in this col haven't come to their senses yet.
"Poof......
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
Huang Taiji felt a little strange, in this cold rain, there was actually some warm rain, what day is this? Is it rain or hot rain? Huang Taiji stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, with a trace of blood red on his fingers.
Look around again. There were already several horses around him who were hit by cannons, making a sound of tearing leather, blood ròu splashed everywhere, and the remaining blood ròu instantly collapsed into a pile, and the blood water immediately flowed down the mountain. More cannons that missed hit the hillside, making a "bang" and "bang" sound of crushing the gravel.
The people on the mountain col, looking at this amazing scene, all of their faces turned pale, just now they were still alive, they were beaten into a pile of pieces by the cannon, and the blood had already flowed to their feet.
Everyone looked at each other, and in their eyes, in addition to fear, it was still fear.
"Protect the Great Khan ......" I don't know who shouted. In this mountain col, the people of Houjin woke up and dismounted one after another, looking for a place to hide.
Huang Taiji was also pulled off the horse by Fan Wencheng and dragged into the col, and Huang Taiji, who stayed at the front of the col, was not hit, which was really lucky. Fan Wencheng didn't care about anything, relying on his own high strength and strength, he pulled Huang Taiji, who was already a little demented, to the back of the mountain.
Huang Taiji looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, the broken corpse, the blood flowing everywhere.
Amin was also pulled back by the shì guards, hiding on the back of the mountain, all the while, full of anger and domineering, Amin no longer has the anger of the past, nor the domineering of the past, just looked at the piles of blood on the ground in a daze, and kept reading in his mouth: "How can this be, how can it be like this......",
Huang Taiji's pale face could no longer see any brilliance, and he said weakly: "Xian Dou, pass the order, let Jiang Xin's men and horses withdraw immediately, and not a single one will be left ......."
"Chirp" Fan Wencheng knelt down in the muddy rain and kowtowed.
Soon, several special horns sounded and continued to blow. Later, Jin Jiangxin's men and horses immediately responded, rode horses, stepped on the river water that crossed the horse's belly, and retreated.
Huang Taiji's face turned white, lying in the rain to observe the situation on the river.
The warships of the Ming Dynasty went up the river without any scruples, and the centipede boats, relying on many paddles, were already in the waterway of less than 20 miles, and most of them were followed by warships, one after another. From afar, you can't see the end at all.
In the face of such a situation, Huang Taiji felt that in addition to powerlessness, he was still powerless.
"Gods, gods, did you abandon my gold?" Huang Taiji couldn't see some blood on his face anymore, looking at the Ming Dynasty warships all over the river, he was bitter, except for praying to the gods, there was no way to stop the Ming Dynasty.
……
On the river.
"We're in trouble, ......," Peter said with an apologetic smile.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Shang Kexi asked.
"Captain Rickards says that the wind has weakened, and it has become more difficult to sail against the wind, and if the timing is not right, the ship may not be able to sail...... Peter said.
"Oh, weaker?" Shang Kexi stretched out his hand in the rain, the wind was still there, but it was indeed very weak.
"Yes, Shang, now, it depends on the captain's headwind skills, if the technology is good, with the help of the wind, take the 'zigzag' road, you can still drive the boat up, if the technology is not good, or if you are unlucky, you may have to turn around and go down...... it is likely to be dangerous...... well, except for our centipede boats......" Peter said with a serious face.
"......" is not very good at sea and sailing, and Shang Kexi doesn't know what to say about Peter's explanation.
Lei Dayong has been using a clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation on Jiangxin Island, which is what he is most concerned about, and he is relieved to see the Tartar retreat.
"Good news, the Tartars have withdrawn from Jiangxin Island......" Lei Dayong took away the clairvoyant mirror and said, however, what he saw were two silent people, wasn't it crazy just now? Why is it silent now?
"What's wrong?" Lei Dayong asked.
"Da Yong, Peter said, the wind is too xiǎo, many boats may not be able to come up, it seems that according to our expectations, the fiber is pulled......" Shang Kexi said with some regret, the whole boat ride is the best, until the last resort, it will not use the trick of pulling fiber, after all, it is now the day of October, although this Zhenjiang Fort is warmer than many places, but the rain hits the body, it is still very cold.
"Oh, really?" Lei Dayong asked, and then said: "It's really not good, just pull the fiber, it just so happened that Jiang Xin's Tartar retreated......"
The centipede boats had already walked most of the way in this less than twenty miles, and were bombarding the Tartars crossing the river, and the Tartars on Jiangxin Island, under the bombardment of the artillery, quickly withdrew, and some were even washed away by the river.
A sail warship that followed the centipede boat to sail, walked the "zigzag" with difficulty, in a place where the water was a little more urgent, after all, the boat was not pulled back to the channel, and was washed downstream by the more and more turbulent current, the river was relatively wide, the warship that was washed down, and quickly straightened its bow, did not collide with the downstream warship, and sailed towards the downstream at a dangerous speed.
"Look," Shang Kexi exclaimed.
The people on the boat looked downstream, a warship could not borrow the wind power, and there were not many oars, although they took the zigzag channel, they still could not withstand the turbulent current, and they were washed downstream...... and its thrilling scene made the people present almost scream.
"Quick, give the order, let the centipede ship of the Ministry of Transportation send people up quickly, send Master Ma and them up first, and then transport the fiber as soon as possible, the wind has stopped, and the rain is about to stop......" Lei Dayong shouted anxiously.
……
Huang Taiji knelt in the rain, except to pray to the sky, there was no way, the people and horses in the heart of the river have been bombarded by the warships of the Ming Dynasty, its tragic situation, it is really impossible to say, in order to cross the river first, there are even people fighting, from time to time there are cannonballs falling in the crowd, plowing a blood groove, and people and horses because of the loss of footing, to the more and more turbulent water to wash away.
"Tenjin...... ...... the gods, please protect me Daikin...... Please protect me Daikin ......" Huang Taiji's face was terribly pale, and he knelt on the ground, looking up to the sky and praying. ,
"Great Khan, look, it has been fulfilled,...... Great Khan, look at ......" shouted a shì beside Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji gathered his strength and looked towards the river, where a Ming warship was swept down by the current.
"Great Khan, God bless me Dajin, sure enough, the warships of the Ming Dynasty can't borrow the wind......" Fan Wencheng hurriedly explained after seeing it.
"Okay, good, God really didn't abandon me Dajin, God bless, God bless, God bless" Huang Taiji's pale face had a hint of ruddy, and he shouted again and again.
And the people in this col also cried out. Fang Buddha is a god who really fulfilled Huang Taiji's prayers.
……
"Quick......, quick...... Hurry up and ...... "From Linjiang Village, several centipede boats suddenly appeared, these centipede boats are not big, the cannons, firecrackers and other things on the ships have long been disassembled, these centipede boats are the troop carriers that Lei Da used to quickly transport troops with them, carrying a hundred and ten people, and quickly headed towards Jiangxin Island.
The big Jiangxin Island near Linjiang Village, there were no Tartars left, and it was bombarded by hundreds of mén cannons, and it had already retreated, and the people on the centipede boat soon went to Jiangxin Island.
One, two, three, more and more ships sent people to the first Jiangxin Island, and soon, hundreds of people gathered on Jiangxin Island.
"Pull ......"
Dozens of xiǎo sampans were strapped to the bodies of these men and began to swim upstream.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, toe, toe, toe, to......e,toast," a loud trumpet sounded on the Yalu River.
Dozens of xiǎo sampans were pulled and rushed upstream.
Ma Teng also went ashore on Jiangxin Island, and they were quickly transported to the second Jiangxin Island by several centipede boats, but there were not many of them who could ride horses, among the ten people, only one was on horseback, although Ma Teng was very unhappy, but seeing the earth-shattering sound of pulling fiber on one side, Ma Teng shook off the unhappiness. shouted: "Brothers......, what we have to do is to protect these brothers who pull fiber, protect them, and our commander's reinforcements can go to Zhenjiang Fort, and the reinforcements will go to Zhenjiang Fort, and we will win this battle, understand?" Even if you die, you must protect these brothers......"
"Got it...... Got it...... Understood...... "A few earth-shattering sounds, and the earth-shattering trumpet sound not far away was harmonized, earth-shattering.
……
Dozens of sampans were quickly pulled between the first Jiangxin Island and the second Jiangxin Island, and between the first Jiangxin Island and the second Jiangxin Island, which were cut off by the river and had a distance of hundreds of paces. On the second Jiangxin Island, there were already people on it, in addition to Ma Teng's officers and soldiers, there were also some people who lowered the ropes from it.
Soon the ropes were attached to the sampans, and soon the sampans were pulled to the second Jiangxin Island, where several thick ropes connected the sampans between the two Jiangxin Islands, and a simple pontoon bridge was quickly built.
……
Fan Wencheng looked at the dense team of fiber pullers, who had already made up some ideas in the Ming Dynasty, and said anxiously: "Great Khan, do you want to let the people and horses who are still in Jiangxin go back and rush?" ”
Huangtai Ji's face was red, looking at Jiangxin Island stupidly, looking at the team of the Ming Dynasty people pulling fiber, watching the Ming Dynasty people quickly build a pontoon bridge, listening to Fan Wencheng's words, after half a ring, he said: "Forget it, Jiangxin's people and horses, their minds have been taken away, and they have no military heart, how can they fight?" ”
The people and horses in the heart of the river that the emperor refers to are mainly close to the people and horses on the Jiangxin Island of Zhenjiang Fort, and there are still some people and horses on the Jiangxin Island that have not been withdrawn, but Huang Taiji has no extravagant hopes for these people and horses, those people and horses are blocked by the warships and cannons of the Ming Dynasty, and the casualties are heavy, those people are eager to cross the river immediately, and they can't care about any military discipline, they don't care about any team, they scramble, fight, gather in a place far away from the warship, just hope to cross the river as soon as possible, and ask them to turn back to fight the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that the trumpet was blown out, and those people did not dare to step forward, and the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of mén cannons bombarding them, and they had long lost their fighting spirit.
Looking at the earth-shattering sound of the horn on Jiangxin Island, looking at the thousands of fiber pulling teams on Jiangxin Island, and watching the warship that was originally windless and couldn't help but fall back was slowly pulled up little by little, Huang Taiji's face became even more red.
"Poof......" Huang Taiji only felt that his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.
