Chapter 418: Riverside Blockade
Zhenjiang Fort. **
On a flat ground at the foot of the mountain, many soldiers gathered around to watch this unique scene.
There was a long queue, and at the front of this line, a soldier picked up a grenade, and then threw it thirty paces away, and thirty steps away, dug a one-person dòng, and those who could throw the grenade into this dòng were admitted on the spot and became a jīng soldier directly under the máo commander. Become a jīng soldier who specializes in mén grenadiers.
A stocky man with a plaster on his right hand, standing at the front of the line with open arms, looking at the soldiers walking in front of him with an expressionless face, if a soldier can throw a grenade into the pit, this stocky man with a plaster on his right hand will nod his head, indicating that this person has been chosen.
That night, he retired from the Tartars with a handnade and made great contributions to defending Zhenjiang Fort, so he was immediately promoted to the general flag, and his subordinates could lead fifty soldiers, and suddenly changed from a big-headed soldier to a general banner, and became an official, which made the other soldiers envious and admired at the same time, so that the order to select the grenadier jīng soldiers, everyone was impatient to join this team.
As the grenadiers were being selected, someone suddenly shouted: "The Tartars have crossed the river, look, the Tartars are about to cross the river......" The soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by this news, and they climbed the city wall to see what was going on.
Zhang Heng was resting, and when he heard the noise outside, he also rushed out to see what was going on. Zhang Heng is on higher ground here, and he saw in the distance, a large group of people and horses were crossing the river, Zhang Heng took out a clairvoyant mirror, carefully observed it, observed it for a while, and confirmed that this is a large group of people and horses from Tartar to cross the river.
Zhang Heng immediately ran to the city wall.
When Zhang Heng went up to the city wall, Máo Wenlong was already here.
"Dashuai, the Tartar brigade is about to cross the river......" Zhang Heng shouted.
"Well, it's a mouth! What does it mean that so many people from Tartars crossed the river? Máo Wenlong asked suspiciously, before this, because of the lack of warships in the Tartars, and there were warships patrolling Dongjiang Town on the river, it was not enough to cross the river, but now it is very abnormal, so many people cross the river, I don't know what it is for, what is the new trend.
"Dashuai, there is not much water in this river now, the river is not wide, and the water is not deep, could it be that the Tartars are trying to block our warships?" Zhang Heng thought for a while and said.
"This, it is possible to ......, this river is really narrow now, if it is blocked on both sides, it is indeed not easy for this warship to come up." Máo Wenlong listened to Zhang Heng's words and said thoughtfully.
"Hey, hey, father, isn't this Tartar crazy? Bow and arrow against a warship? Isn't this a matter of life? Is there such a stupid person? Máo asked with a sudden laugh.
"It's the mouth! This tartar shouldn't be so stupid! Even if the Tartars are good at riding shè, but to use a bow and arrow against a battleship, this is really a human life! The Tartars don't have warships, they can't reach the water, and they want to fight with warships with bows and arrows alone, which ...... "Máo Wenlong felt that it made sense, and this couldn't be counted as a mouth!" Even though the river is very narrow now, there are still 200 steps, and on 200 steps, you can use bows and arrows to deal with warships, and I don't know how many people have to fill it in.
Everyone also thinks it makes sense, Tartar doesn't have a warship, not even a decent boat can not come out, want to compete with Dongjiang Town on the water, that is really looking for death, since you can't go on the water, rely on that bow and arrow and warship to fight, this is really a joke, Dongjiang Town not only has sail warships, but also centipede ships, wheel ships that do not rely on sails, Tartars don't even have the opportunity to burn sails. "Forget it, don't worry about him, everyone pay attention, just be vigilant......" Máo Wenlong couldn't guess what the Tartar was for, and he didn't guess, anyway, when the time came, the water would flood.
...... "Stone, stone, no, the Tartars are going to cross the river, the brothers on the river, they were beaten by the Tartars and couldn't stand, and they came down...... "On the east side of Zhenjiang Fort, on the east bank of the Yalu River, there is an army of the Ming Dynasty, this army is Ma Teng Ma Qian's general people, and he is specially designed around Zhenjiang Fort, but the power of the Tartars is too great, and the river side can't go over, so he can only stay on this side of the river.
When Ma Shishi heard about the situation, he immediately jumped up, put up a pergola with his hands, and watched the situation by the river. ,
"Uncle, uncle, happy event, happy event, Tartar is ready to cross the river, good opportunity, good opportunity!" Stone immediately found his uncle.
Mr. Ma Qian had already known the news and was holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe. When he heard his nephew shouting, he also smiled and said, "Where does the joy come from?" The Tartars are about to cross the river, and it is not safe for us to stay in Jiangdong, so we have to be on guard at all times. Let the brothers prepare, retreat when it is time to retreat. Ma Qian always said with a smile, he is only a thousand people, and he must not be able to fight with the Tartar brigade, now the Tartar brigade has crossed the river, just looking at this formation, I know that there are many people who want to cross the river, and it is natural to choose to retreat, and now as long as I entangle the Tartars, I will not blame if I can't win and run.
"Uncle, why do we have to run? This tartar has just been preparing to cross the river, let's take advantage of their unstable foothold, there are not many people on the shore, let the nephew take the men and horses to rush at him for a while, kill him by surprise, and show the majesty of my Dongjiang man! "Ma Shishi can think differently from his uncle, what his uncle wants is to preserve his strength, temporarily retreat, and entangle with the Tartar for a long time, but Ma Shishi dares to think and dare to do more.
"This ......" Ma Qian is always embarrassed, according to today's scene, the Tartar has just begun to cross the river, the speed of crossing the river is quite slow, and there are only a few people who cross the river, if you take this opportunity to rush him, perhaps, it is an opportunity, but Ma Qian is always undecided.
"Uncle, what are you hesitating about? This opportunity is fleeting! Ma Shi became anxious.
Ma Qian is still hesitating, at this moment, whether to fight or not, the opportunity is really rare, but they don't need to fight, as long as they are entangled with the tartars, Ma Qian is even more hesitant, Ma Qian always doesn't speak, and other people are not easy to talk, Shen Staff wanted to speak a few times, but after thinking about it, one is a nephew, the other is an uncle, it's not good to help that side talk, this opportunity is really good, but, if something goes wrong and the nephew of the Ma family is gone, he doesn't please him, he opened his mouth a few times, and he didn't speak. This is especially true for others.
"Alas......" Seeing that his uncle was hesitating, Shi Shi shook off angrily, and then turned over and rode away.
"Stone, stone...... When you come back, do you hear ......" Although Mr. Ma Qian shouted a few times, but the stone did not hear it, and a whirlwind went away.
"My lord, I'm afraid that the stone is going to rush to the Tartar formation, so let's send someone to answer it, otherwise, it's too late, I'm afraid that someone will die!" Staff Officer Shen immediately proposed.
"Alas, this kid ,...... Mr. Zhang, you immediately take the people and horses to answer, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Tartar, kill him fiercely, and let the Tartar my Dongjiang man ...... powerful" Ma Qian always knows his nephew's temper, and knows that this must be going to the Tartar formation, and he can't care about anything, so he has to rush for a while, and then he can't watch his nephew's people go to the Tartar brigade. "Obey the ......" someone on the side responded, and immediately turned on his horse and rushed out of this Xiǎo forest.
"My lord, let's go up to the Tartars' position, and we can also send someone to inform the brothers on the river, so that they can go up again to help, with their help, the Tartars will cross the river, and they won't be so presumptuous......" Staff Officer Shen immediately made another suggestion.
"Okay, according to Shen Staff, come to Kou, immediately go and ask the brothers on the river to help, just say that we are going to rush the Tartars' formation, I hope they will help us press the formation, please make sure they take action." Ma Qian didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered.
Ma Shi rode the horse, not very fast, looked back, saw the team of people and horses behind followed, and then smiled proudly.
"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" Horse Stone asked with a smug smile as he rode on his horse.
"Hey, xiǎo ghost head, put away your little thoughts, put them away in front of your Uncle Zhang, you're not the only one who wants to rush the Tartar formation." This Zhang always followed quickly, smiling and talking to Ma Shishi.
"Hey, hey......" Ma Shishi laughed for a while.
…… On the other side of the river, there were Ming cavalry, and they rushed towards them, this move surprised the Tartars who were about to cross the river, and some of the Tartars who had crossed the river approached, and when they saw the smoke and dust in the distance, they immediately became alert and began to line up, and some of the Tartars who were still in the river began to speed up to cross the river.
This group of Ming Dynasty cavalry horses ran close to the Tartars who had crossed the river, bringing smoke and dust along the way.
The Tartars who had already crossed the river, looking at the neat and sturdy Ming Dynasty cavalry, were a little nervous, the people and horses who had crossed the river were too few, but there were more than 100 horses, and the Ming Dynasty cavalry on the opposite side was obviously jīng Rui, who dared to come and fight hard, so they naturally would not be afraid of them. ,
Zhang Sho always took this group of cavalry and rushed over without any whistle.
"Kill ......" An earth-shattering shout instantly ignited the flames of the battlefield.
…… On the top of Zhenjiang Fort, Máo Wenlong was still observing the situation on the river, when he suddenly saw his own cavalry rushing out from Jiangdong and plunging into the pile of Tartars that had just come ashore.
"That team, but Ma Teng's people?" Máo Wenlong asked.
"Back to Dashuai, it should be, Jiangdong side is just Ma Tengma's people and horses, it should be them, hehe, it seems that the one who started the head is still the xiǎo hero of the Ma family......" Zhang Heng took off the clairvoyant mirror and said with a smile.
"Huh! Okay, you have the courage, you are worthy of being a man from my Dongjiang River, and you dare to rush the Tartar formation......" Máo Wenlong said with a smile.
…… Houjin Daying.
"What? There are cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangdong rushing at our position? Huang Taiji asked the panting slave in front of him in surprise.
"Back to the master, yes, the slave saw it by the river, and hundreds of people and horses suddenly rushed out from the river, coming to rush our position on the other side of the river, there are not many people and horses crossing the river, I'm afraid I can't withstand it......" The slave reported in a panic the information that had just happened by the river.
Huang Taiji walked back and forth, annoyed, the morale of the Ming Dynasty was getting stronger and stronger, and hundreds of people dared to rush at his Dajin formation, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was annoyed, he rushed out of the sweat tent, turned over his horse, and rushed out.
…… The Tartars who crossed the river, but about 100 people, lined up by the river, looked at the Ming Dynasty cavalry approaching him with frightened eyes, judging from the horses, clothing, and weapons of these cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, it must have been the Ming Dynasty jīng sharp.
The leading Tartar was also unambiguous, croaked a few times, chōu took out his knife, led the hundred and ten men and horses and shouted wildly, and rushed back towards the Ming Dynasty cavalry.
There was no whistling, no earth-shattering sound, only the sound of a knife grazing the bones, cutting the skin and bones, and what could be seen was the vigorous and galloping war horse, the dancing knife shadow, the yellow sand in the sky, and the blood that flew up from time to time, but a few back and forth, this instantaneous collision divided the winner and loser, and more than 100 people and horses of the Tartars fell to the ground completely.
Zhang Jiang gasped for breath, he had just killed more than 100 Tartars in one go, which was really a little difficult, and when he looked back at his own people, it seemed that there were nearly 100 fewer people.
"Leave some lightly injured brothers to clean up, and the rest, follow me ......" Mr. Zhang was unequivocal, killed this batch of Tartars, and immediately continued to rush towards the river, where there were more and more Tartars coming ashore.
"Obey the ......," agreed some in the crowd, and many began to cut off people's heads as quickly as they could, and began to clean up their brothers' corpses.
Nearly 300 people still rushed to the river without fear.
Ma Teng saw it really in the back, more than 400 people from his own house rushed to more than 100 people in the Tartars, but in this battle, more than 100 people died in the Tartars, and nearly 100 people died on his side.
"Brothers, get on your horse and follow me for a while, the brothers in front have killed so many Tartars, you can't just eat ròu, we are watching from the side......" Ma Teng shouted, turned on his horse, and ran towards the river with billowing smoke and dust.
On the river, there has always been a patrol of the water camp warship in Dongjiang Town, but there are too many Tartars, and they can't intercept it, so they are forced to go downstream, and they heard that their brothers are going to rush the Tartars' position, so they immediately drove the warship up again, although there are still some sparks on it, and the smoke has not been extinguished, but it is enough to deal with the Tartars who have no warships.
"Kill ......" Zhang Jiang shouted angrily and took the lead in rushing into the Tartars' position by the river. Just after a rain of arrows and the loss of some brothers, the anger and fighting spirit in Mr. Zhang's heart have burned to the peak.
"Poof......
"Poof......
"Puff ......"
Only the sound of this knife piercing the human body can penetrate the entire battlefield and spread in all directions. There is no huā whistle, there is no evasion, it is completely a hard encounter, a life for life, the knife falls and falls, and the clusters of blood are brought up.
By the riverside, the number of people who could stand was rapidly decreasing, and the number of people who could ride on horses was rapidly decreasing. At the beginning of the battle, it fell into a bitter battle, and the Tartar who fought in the front must be jīng Rui, this kind of battle that took the initiative to rush the Tartar formation was not suitable for putting guns, nor for letting go of grenades, otherwise, it would not be so hard, looking at the brothers who fell one by one around him, Zhang Jiang always killed red eyes, fought, and fell into a bitter battle.
Sweat wet Mr. Zhang's eyes, vaguely, as if seeing his own team of people coming to respond, Mr. Zhang shook off the sweat violently, and devoted himself more to this fight. ,
Ma Teng led a large group of men and horses, turned into billowing smoke and dust all the way, and rushed into the battlefield where the battle was fighting on the shore, and the situation on the battlefield was immediately clear, and the battle that was originally evenly matched immediately fell one-sided.
"Grenade ready ......," a voice shouted.
Without thinking much about it, many people immediately chōu took out a grenade, took out a fire fold, and lit incense...... When the Tartars, who were still in the river and were about to go ashore, saw this scene, they became frightened and retreated.
“…… Throw ...... into the river"
A dark shadow flew into the river.
"Boom ......"
"......Boom" burst into a muffled sound and exploded in the water, and the Tartars, who had originally wanted to grab the shore, immediately retreated.
On the river, two warships rushed down from the upstream, relying on the strength of the downstream to rush towards the Tartar brigade that was crossing the river without fear.
Looking at the warships coming from the upstream, the Tartars who crossed the river panicked, compared with the warships, they were still too weak, not to mention that they were going downstream, how could they be stopped by manpower? Although there were countless Tartar leaders on the other side of the river, they could no longer stop the fear of the Tartars in the river.
"Bang ......"
The muffled sound of "bang......" was the muffled sound of the warship hitting the Tartar, and this dull sound penetrated the battlefield and urged people to seep out.
"Fire ......," several shouts suddenly came from the warship.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......" On the two battleships, there was a violent sound of fire, and the river immediately turned red.
The Tartar crossing the river, unable to control it any longer, retreated towards the shore.
"Oh ......, Oh ......, Oh ......" On the east bank was the earth-shattering cheers of the Ming Dynasty cavalry.
The Tartars on the west bank looked blankly at the two battleships that crossed the river and the red sè floating in the river. The battleships that came downstream for reinforcements, there were still a lot of sparks on board, and even smoked, firing at the west coast from a distance, and the guns of the Franc machine pierced into the crowd from time to time.
…… Zhenjiang Fort.
"Good! is worthy of being my Dongjiang boy, all of them are heroes! Máo Wenlong saw all this clearly from the clairvoyant mirror, and his heart was full of pride.
Zhang Heng smiled, put away the clairvoyant mirror, and said, "Dashuai, this time, the Tartar is probably going crazy with anger, hahaha......"
…… Huang Taiji was already mad, he saw the battle situation by the river from a distance, saw the two battleships coming down the river from the upstream, and watched the cavalry rushing out of the opposite bank to cut down his team, he was already about to go crazy, and then he saw the two battleships rushing down the river to cross the river, he was completely mad.
"Mouth!" Huang Taiji frantically threw out the clairvoyant mirror and shouted unwillingly. Fan Wencheng also rode a horse and arrived from afar, looking at the scene of death and injury, he was even more frightened, when did the people of the Ming Dynasty not be afraid of death like this? I may really be wrong, according to this style of play, Daikin can't win the mouth of the Ming Dynasty no matter what!
