Jinzhou is the most important part of the southern strategy, seized Jinzhou, the entire Jinzhou Isthmus is under their control, a large area of land between Lushun and Jinzhou also fell into their own hands, as long as they can gain a firm foothold in Jinzhou, Lushun solves the drawbacks of insufficient strategic depth, and also reduces the pressure on Dengzhou's logistics and transportation, take Jinzhou, the Thunder Brigade can threaten to cover the north, and the east can threaten Xiuyan to North Korea, and at the same time open up the migration road to receive a large number of Liaodong refugees, and take Jinzhou is really called free advance and retreat.

But will things go as smoothly as you imagined? Yang Bo didn't know that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and even a small accident would change everything in the plan, the only thing he could do was to imagine every possible surname, and then it was to see how lucky.

October 8, double islands.

The deputy commander-in-chief Shang Kexi was draped all over his body, and led the Ming army of 3,000 stationed on Shuangdao and Huangcheng Island to land on the ship, they were the first to set off, and the target was more than 400 garrisons on Lianyun Island near Gaizhou City.

Seeing his current scenery and thinking of being bullied in Dongjiang before, Shang Kexi's heart was full of emotion......

Dengzhou deputy commander-in-chief stationed in Shuangdao, control and lead the western islands, this position is not inferior to the position of the Dongjiang general army, and so on Changsheng, Lianyun, Mayang, Zhu, Chahe islands after the recovery, the garrison set up will be under their own jurisdiction, occupy these islands, their own left can echo the right Tun, Songshan Tashan, Ningyuan and other Guanning military defense areas, to the right at any time to assist Yang Bo's guerrilla battalion flank attack to cover the Yaohai states, Yang Bo's guerrilla battalion combat power he has personally experienced, it can be said, As long as Yang Bo wants to wave his army north, no matter how much he replaces, his own great merit will be indispensable, and his status in the court will become higher and higher, and all this is brought to him by this person, Yang Bo!

Although Shang Kexi was smiling everywhere, his eyes stayed on Yang Bo, he was talking to a general who looked like a general soldier, and Shang Kexi recognized that it was Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong.

"What is this dog doing here? Do you want to share the credit? ”

Shang Kexi was vigilant, Liu Zeqing was stationed in Gongzhou, Shandong because of the special position of Denglai, the entire Shandong Prefecture set up two chief military officers, plus there were three in Dongjiang, after the Dengzhou Rebellion, the local officials were extremely disgusted with the Guanning bandits, and even Liu Zeqing, who had some relationship with the Guanning Army, was not welcomed, and he rarely saw him in Dengzhou, but he didn't expect this Liu Zeqing to not know what rumors he heard, but he took the initiative to come over.

Shang Kexi walked over and sued him, stepped forward and pulled Yang Bo out, seeing Liu Zeqing's unhappy face, Shang Kexi smiled and said to Yang Bo: "Zhixian, you are a fragrant bun now, and the sought-after is very good, Yuanji is about to go on the expedition, does Zhixian have anything else to explain?" ”

Yang Bo nodded and said: "Yuan Ji's words are serious, the key to recovering Lianyun Island is the Zhenyi of the half-niulu, if Yuan Ji can win it in one go, then the rest of the Han Banner army has no fighting spirit, and it will be held by Yuan Ji, and there is a water camp on the sea to block the chief Gao Yuanxiang personally with the warship, so there is no need to worry about the back road." After besieging and destroying the defenders on the island, let go of the sea area of Gaizhou, and then besieged it on a large scale after the Tatar reinforcements came to the island, and so on several times, the garrison of Gaizhou was frightened, and they must not dare to easily send troops to do the tactical ...... of adding fuel to the army."

Shang Kexi nodded: "A certain relative led five hundred families to attack, and there are one hundred and fifty muskets to help him, if he can't win a big victory, Shang has no shame to see and know idle."

Yang Bo smiled, patted Shang Kexi lightly, and said: "There are many Tatar slave post stations and fortresses along the way from Fuzhou to Gaizhou, and the garrisons are different, more than three or five hundred, less than more than 100 people, these Tartar slaves are light horses, after Yuanji surrounded and annihilated Lianyun Island, cut off the heads of those Tartar slaves, took advantage of the night to put the corpses under the city of Gaizhou, and discharged the naval warships, and fired cannons and clamors under the city of Gaizhou, showing off their might, and made a posture of landing and attacking Gaizhou, and stationed in Xin'an, Potoutou, Xin'an, Yulin, Mengjia, Bali, Fifty Villages, The Tatar light cavalry in Xiongyue and other places attracted the past, reducing the pressure on Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Dongjiang provinces, and the battle of Changsheng Island would also start after five days. ”

Shang Kexi nodded and said: "Yuan Ji is here to also wish Zhixian a victory, and in one fell swoop, he will recover Jinzhou."

……

On October 12, the flag on the Lushun wharf covered the sky, and the Ming army of each department landed on the ships moored on the wharf in turn, various types of ships were different, there were sand boats, square-headed boats, and canopy boats, and there was a large fortune boat in the first place, Tie Niu and Xiucai, Han Qiaoshan, Wang Tiehammer, Li Da Niu, Calf, Lao Pao, Hu Mazi, Zhang Shixiong, Lu Ruohan, etc. stood at the bow of the ship, this time the Thunder Brigade was divided into a company of the special forces battalion and two companies of the crime battalion, the entire newly established Liaodong battalion, and the Dengzhou Odd Barracks, A total of more than 3,000 people in the main barracks will land on Changsheng Island, encircle and annihilate the defenders on the island and then move the camera, the purpose is the same, to drag the defenders of Fuzhou to death, to create conditions for the Thunder Brigade to take Jinzhou, the Ming army that landed in Fuzhou only has more than 100 special forces company with special tasks, the task is very heavy, under the gaze of everyone at the dock, the fleet pulled anchor in turn and set sail slowly in the northwest direction.

Today, the weather is very good, except for the gentle breeze on the sea, the wind and waves are calm, looking back from the first ship, more than 30 warships of various colors are puffing out their sails, the smooth sea surface is like a blue mirror, the scorching sun shines on the deck, the iron bull stands motionless in the bow of the ship, looking at the intersection of the sea and the sky in the distance.

"Lord Li, if the wind is downwind, it only takes two days to reach Changsheng Island, if it is against the wind, then it will take four days to arrive" Han Qiaoshan saw that Tie Niu was serious, so he stepped forward to explain.

Tie Niu nodded slightly and asked, "How big is Immortal Island?" ”

Han Qiaoshan thought for a while: "Changsheng Island is located in the northwest of Lushun, it is a very large island, and it is only an hour's road to swim from the Nanxunkou of Fuzhou, and the strait is frozen in winter, and the soldiers and horses of the Tatar slaves can go directly to Changsheng Island."

Xiucai coughed triumphantly and said, "I know the origin of this Eternal Life Island."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xiucai thought for a while and said:

“…… At that time, Xu Fu led thousands of boys and girls, prepared generous gifts in the world, strong bows and crossbows, and began the Shenwu Expedition. Xu Fu led the crowd to visit the three islands of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, and the treasure hunt was unsuccessful. As soon as he said, Xu Fu's entourage Gao Guard, met the immortals and told him: There is an island a hundred miles away, and there are three treasures on it, which can cure illness and live forever. The high guard listened to the words of the immortals, and couldn't help but be moved, and without telling Xu Fu, he secretly took people to find the fairy island by boat, and sure enough, he saw that the island was surrounded by auspicious clouds, sweet springs, and flowers. The island is rich in strange melons and exotic fruits, there are many thorny pleasures in the sea, everyone eats for a long time, and the body is really strong, and all diseases are not born, so it is named "sea ginseng". A group of people then lingered, lived in seclusion here, lived and reproduced, and many people lived to be more than 100 years old, so this island was named Changsheng Island"

"On such a big island, what if the Tartars play hide and seek with us?" The old cannon asked

Xiucai looked at the fleet behind him, and said with some enthusiasm: "The Tartars are proud, and they will inevitably set up a decisive battle with us, the only thing I am worried about is whether the combat effectiveness of these Ming troops is good?" If we still lose the battle between 3,000 and 500, we won't have the face to go back and explain. ”

Han Qiaoshan shook his head and said: "My lord has explained, after landing, all the mortars on the ship will be dismantled for you to use, if you will lose in this way, then we really don't have to go back."

Hearing Han Qiaoshan's words, everyone looked at Lu Ruohan, he had ten frames of the No. 4 cannon of the Franco, as well as the thirty mortars of the fleet, it can be said that this battle completely depends on whether his artillery team can take the lead.

Lu Ruohan spread his hands: "The fleet needs to approach Changsheng Island at night and defeat the Tarnon ships before the defenders can be trapped on the island, then you have to surround the defenders, and then our artillery team will have room to play, you won't expect us to charge, right?" ”

The old cannon said: "The task of the sin camp is to wait for the fleet to clear the Tarsus of the transports and land ashore to establish a defensive line to cover the landing of these Ming troops, but to speak a conscience, I can only trust the combat effectiveness of these people, and I am thankful that it does not collapse when the battle is due." ”

Hu Mazi patted his chest and said: "They are just fighting a tailwind war, and the main force still depends on our Liaodong battalion." ”

Tie Niu suddenly ordered: "Zhang Shixiong led the special forces to serve as the law enforcement officer of the Qi Barracks and the Zheng Barracks, and anyone who shakes the morale of the army is allowed to act according to the law." ”

In the early morning of October 15th, the blue-flaged Niu Lu Shumuda on Changsheng Island heard a commotion before he got up, he hurriedly lifted the tent and kicked away Nikan who was waiting in front of him......

In the distance, the dense shadows of the ship revealed a huge silhouette in the distance, and the current fortune ship was particularly huge, and several light warships split the waves and surrounded the place where the ships were moored on Changsheng Island.

"Daming Water Master!"

A voice of desperation rang out behind him.

"Quick, quick! Our ship, keep our ship! ”

Shu Muda suddenly reacted and shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and by the time a group of armor soldiers had gathered and ran towards the humble docks, the ships that had been moored there were already staggering, and a fleet of ships that did not know when they came were lined up, bombarding the inclined hulls with side guns, and wood splashed everywhere.

"It's over!" Divide the Pashku collapsed to the ground in despair, what they feared the most of the garrisons guarding the island had happened, even if the Daming Naval Division only besieged the island, they would starve to death here!

Tie Niu held a clairvoyant mirror, nervously watching the situation on the island, in the north of Changsheng Island, several small boats fled in a panic in the direction of Fuzhou, there were already several warships behind them, the speed of the small warships was faster than the merchant ships collected by these Tatar slaves, they would definitely not be able to escape, Tie Niu put his mind at ease and turned his eyes to the island.

Han Qiaoshan commanded the fleet to lean against the sea, and aimed at the shore with the frang machine on the side and fired cannons, the iron hit the stones, and the gravel was splashed, and the Tatars did not dare to get close to the shore, and they were all driven farther up the mountain.

Countless sailors jumped into the sea with torches held high, swam directly to the side of the Tarslaves, threw the torches on them, and many soldiers with bows and arrows on the ships shot rockets into the remnants of the hull one by one, not even the large planks, completely cutting off the retreat of the Tatars on the island.

"The Sin Barracks Veteran Company begins to land!"

Iron Bull glanced at the old cannon that was ready to be fired, and ordered. )
