Zhu Youcheng has not left Juehua Island yet, not because he wants to set up an ambush on the island to eliminate Jiannu's living force and weaken Jiannu's war strength, but because the Fuchuan has not yet returned.

Zhu Youcheng asked the shipwright and was sure that it would only take twenty days to return from Juehua Island to Tianjin Port, so he asked the Fuchuan to send the residents of Juehua Island back to Daming, and he thought that Jinyiwei could board the Fuchuan and return to the Ming Dynasty before Nu'er Haqi attacked.

Although he said that the Jinyi Guards were not well trained and underarmed, and that they could not fight the wrong battle at the wrong time, in the final analysis, he subconsciously harbored a deep fear of Nuer Hachi. He can't be blamed for his cowardice, since the battle of Salhu, Nuer Ha Chi has won a hundred battles, and after the establishment of the state, the situation of a few years has swept the entire Liaodong. And Jiannu's combat effectiveness is even more amazing, after entering the customs, quickly dominate the world, dragging the rich and civilized Ming into the abyss of barbarism and backwardness. And the million army of the Ming Dynasty and the million army of the Southern Ming Dynasty were actually beaten by the 100,000 army of Jiannu and lost their armor and collapsed for thousands of miles. Zhu Youcheng, who is familiar with history, received the psychological hint of the invincibility of Jiannu, how could he have the confidence to defeat Nuer Hachi?

Of course, Zhu Youcheng didn't want to run away with his tail between his legs. He planned to board a Fu ship to cruise in the waters of Juehua Island, and when Jiannu landed on the island, he would use the long-range attack power of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the rear-loading rifled firearm to attack Jiannu's army. Anyway, Jiannu doesn't have a naval army, so let's use Daming's technological advantages to bully Jiannu, even if you can't kill them, you have to be angry with them, and it's best to make the slave half angry.

However, the lucky ship scheduled to return on January 18 was late, and Zhu Youcheng simply had the heart to kill. Whoever you kill, of course, is killing yourself. There are less than 5,000 Jinyi guards on the island, but this time Jiannu came with 60,000 robbers, and Zhu Youcheng asked himself if he didn't have the ability to win. I have long known that good people don't live long and will harm for a thousand years, but this time I have been a bad good person. It doesn't matter if he hurts himself, but he pits his five thousand subordinates, as well as Ke Qingqing.

On the 21st of January of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, the scouts reconnoitred that Jiannu was heading south, and on the 23rd, they reconnoitred that Jiannu was besieging Ningyuan City, but the lucky ship had not yet come. Zhu Youcheng was completely dead. Since you can't escape, let's fight, even if you die, you have to die like a man.

On the one hand, he continued to send scouts to reconnoiter the movements of Jiannu, and on the other hand, he mobilized thousands and hundreds of households to do ideological work among the soldiers, educating the soldiers to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. Fortunately, Zhu Youcheng's fear of Jiannu was hidden deeply, and no one in the Jinyi Guards knew about it, but they were full of confidence in Xizhen Fusi's weapons. I was sure that I would be able to defeat Jiannu.

The Jinyi Guard entered a state of imminent battle, from thousands of households to ordinary soldiers, all of them slept with their armor to ensure that they could fight at any time. Thousands of medical households have prepared rescue tools to treat the wounded at any time.

In the early morning of January 25, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youcheng got up to inspect the defense of Juehua Island.

The "Great Wall" still stands on the ice of Kyaw Wah Island, and although the weather has changed during the day these days, it is still night. Zhu Youcheng asked people to water the Great Wall, so not only did the Great Wall not thin or collapse. On the contrary, it has become a lot thicker, shining silver, like a long dragon, and it is very good-looking.

Several horsemen marched to the "city gate" and prepared to go out. They took down the bronze plaque that hung around their necks and handed it to the guards on duty at the gate. This is the rule of Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division. If a soldier goes out alone or in a squad to perform a military mission, he must hand over the bronze medal he wears to a special person for safekeeping, so that when he sacrifices, he can put the bronze medal in the temple of the Ming warriors and accept the admiration and worship of all the people.

Zhu Youcheng urged him to step forward. Inquire about the situation.

A soldier gave a military salute to Zhu Youcheng on the horse, and replied loudly: "I am Wang Feng, this is You Xiaotian, and that is Xu Yan, we are all under the Chen Qianhu standard, and now we will go out to reconnoiter the movements of Jiannu." ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Xu Yan raised the firearm in his hand and said, "Ready, firecracker and bullets, with these things, no matter how many Jiannu are not afraid." ”

You Xiaotian patted his belt and said, "Each of us also brought a grenade, if there is one in ten thousand miles, we will use the grenade and Jiannu to die together." ”

Zhu Youcheng nodded, knowing that this was the result of strengthening ideological work during this period of time. He was moved by the officers and soldiers of Huadao to complain about the atrocities of Jiannu, and the evil deeds of the Nuer Haqi bandit group were all against humanity and society, and the soldiers of Jinyi Wei stood on end and gritted their teeth.

"Well, this official is waiting on the island for news of your triumph. However, try to stay away as far as possible when scouting, and we will be able to see a telescope anyway. Jiannu's equestrian skills are high, and we will suffer a loss in terms of hard work. ”

The three scouts nodded in unison, then gave a military salute, whipped their horses, and left the camp.

When he came to Ningyuan City, Wang Feng picked up a telescope and observed the situation in the city. Ningyuan City was still very calm, but there were a few more white flags, and it seemed that some important people had been sacrificed. Who died? Wang Feng carefully observed the words on the couplet in the telescope. As we all know, people's hands will keep trembling, the amplitude is not large, and it is not visible on the surface, but it is trembling in the telescope, so to observe the details of the object, the telescope must be fixed. But Wang Feng didn't know, he looked at the couplet for a long time, and only recognized one word "gold", and the other words were so swaying that he couldn't see it clearly.

This can be regarded as an important piece of information, the three of them bypassed Ningyuan City together, wanting to investigate the situation of the Jiannu camp.

After a few steps, they saw a large group of Jiannu's scouts rushing towards them. The scouts of Jinyiwei were expected to have a telescope, and it stands to reason that they would not meet Jiannu's Tanma head-on, but the city wall of Ningyuan City blocked the view, and the three of them were careless for a while, and they actually bumped into Jiannu.

Xu Yan was the first to react, took off the firecracker, loaded the bullet, and released a shot at one of Jiannu's exploration horses. The sound of the fire gun was so loud that Jiannu and Ningyuan City were all shocked. For a while, arrows rained down on the three of them. This arrow is not only built by the slaves, but also by the defenders of Ningyuan City. This is not that Ningyuan City and Jiannu colluded with each other, but that Jiannu was used to wearing captured Ming army cotton armor, and it was impossible to tell which people were Jiannu people and which people were Ming own people from the city wall. Since you can't tell the difference, let's fight together.

The three of them were Chen Guoqi's subordinates, and they were the first troops to obtain firearms, and they had the longest training time and the most proficient use of firearms. The three of them turned around and shot their firebolts backwards. While urging the horse to run. Every time they turned around, a Jiannu soldier fell under his horse. These Jiannu people were not necessarily killed, but whether they died or not, someone sent them on the road. Because the other soldiers of Jiannu would not stop their horses, the only consequence of falling off their horses was to be trampled into meat by the horses of other cavalrymen.

Suddenly, You Xiaotian snorted. The horse slowed down. Wang Feng and Xu Yan looked back, but saw that You Xiaotian had an arrow protruding from his chest, which was actually shot by Jiannu's bow and arrow.

Wang Feng asked, "Lao You, what's wrong?" Does it matter? ”

"I ...... I can't...... Horse...... The horse was also hit by ...... A few arrows, you ...... The two go first, and I'll stay here to break ...... After breaking. ”

After the break, it was basically to die, Wang Feng and Xu Yan still wanted to say something, but when they saw You Xiaotian's injury and firm gaze, they nodded. Leave him alone, and gallop on horseback. They are scouts, and it is their ultimate task to report the information they hear to their superiors. If you take care of the wounded here and delay the march of the troops, then you will die.

You Xiaotian gritted his teeth and pulled the grenade out of his waist. However, he was surprised to see that the grenade was different from the firecracker, which was self-firing. There was no need to ignite, and the grenade dragged a long lead. It's a fire. Where did he go to find a fire fold or a fire rope? Jiannu may have it, he went to borrow it, and said, I want to blow you up, please give me a fire fold. Do you want to surrender and build slaves? Don't even think about it. He grew up in a poor family, and he was called and drunk. It's better to live than to kill a dog. But in Jinyiwei, he regained his dignity as a human being. Abandoning dignity and being a dog in exchange for the possibility of life, how could he be willing. Moreover, I listened to the memories of the defenders of Kyaw Island. Even if you are a dog, you will be killed by Jiannu after being humiliated in every way.

However, he was already seriously wounded, and the war horse was also hit by a few arrows, so it can be said that he will never be able to escape. But if you want to commit suicide, it's very simple, turn the fire gun upside down, put a gun on the head, and die. But after his death, the firecrackers, grenades, binoculars, and down jackets on his body, which were the secret military equipment of the Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division, would fall into the hands of Jiannu. Zhu Youcheng mentioned the importance of military science and technology to the soldiers more than once, if Jiannu studied these materials and improved their military science and technology level, it would cause disastrous consequences, and his father, mother, sister, and younger brother who he wanted to protect with his life would still be living in Daming.

Thinking of this, he stared at the grenade in his hand, determined to find a way to light it no matter what.

At this time, Jiannu had already stopped firing arrows, preparing to capture You Xiaotian alive, and torture the information of the Ming army from his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers surrounded You Xiaotian in the middle.

A Jiannu said in stiff Chinese: "Surrender, spare your life; Stubborn resistance, unforgiving. ”

You Xiaotian smiled slightly and threw the grenade on the ground.

Seeing You Xiaotian throw the weapon in his hand on the ground, Jiannu thought that he was about to surrender, so he urged him to step forward and prepare to arrest him.

You Xiaotian suddenly raised the firecracker, aimed at the grenade and released a firecracker.

With a loud "boom", You Xiaotian turned into a rain of blood, and many of the Jiannu who were close to him were killed or injured, and none of them were embarrassed.

Jiannu, who was not injured, was secretly glad in his heart that his movements were a step slower and he finally saved his life. These Ming soldiers in golden armor are really strange, holding a fire gun that does not need to be ignited in their hands, and they can also be connected, unlike other Ming troops, it takes a long time to put a second gun after releasing one gun. What's even more strange is that they seem to have immortal arts, just now they threw a stick, and the person disappeared, and the person who was going to capture him on his side suffered heavy casualties.

A Jiannu pointed to the rain of blood in the sky and exclaimed, "Snow, red snow!" ”

Jiannu Ling looked up, and sure enough, heavy snow fell in the sky, and red or white snowflakes fell down. He looked around, except for the heavy snow at the position of the Ming army just now, the rest of the place was still sunny.

He hurried forward, caught a snowflake, and looked closely, but could not see what it was, but it looked like the fluff of a bird. Thinking that the Ming army disappeared without a trace with a loud bang, he couldn't help but think, isn't this Ming army the incarnation of immortals, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he turned into an immortal crane and flew away? He didn't know that it was because the shock wave of the explosion just now tore You Xiaotian's down jacket into pieces, and the down flew out.

The horror in his heart was inexplicable, but Jiannu Ling pretended to be disdainful and snorted coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost." ”

He ordered the soldiers to collect You Xiaotian's relics and see if they could pick up anything useful. Jiannu likes to clean the battlefield the most, because the Ming army carries a lot of good things, from weapons and armor to decorative necklaces, which are all sought-after goods in the Jiannu market. Unfortunately, this time they were disappointed, after the explosion, there were only a few twisted and deformed iron pipes and copper pipes left on the ground, and nothing else. The horse was still there, but only half of its body remained.

Jiannu was furious and shouted: "Chase! ”

The group chased in the direction where Wang Feng and Xu Yan fled. (To be continued!)
