The wind was blowing and the snow was falling, and the oceans began to freeze, and the large pieces of ice collided with each other, gradually forming a thick whole. In less than a day's work, Changsheng Island, which hangs alone on the sea, is connected to the mainland.

Starting from the nearest North and South Ports, the ice row filled the ocean, and the sea, which would have required boats to cross, became a flat river.

The sea ice is getting thicker and thicker day by day, not to mention ordinary pedestrians, even war horses and vehicles are effortless.

The Yizhou soldiers were shocked by this strong force of nature, manpower is irreversible, and the use of soldiers must go along the way.

In the past few days, the Yiju soldiers have been very busy, first the navy has parked the ships on the sea according to the pre-selected directions, waiting for the freezing, so that the ships have become fixed pillboxes.

The ships of the sailors were equipped with cannons, and the soldiers had to make slight modifications to concentrate the guns that were originally facing each side on one side, and to cut out a number of small holes for the musketeers. Under the cabin, there is a rest room for soldiers, as well as a storage room, an ammunition room, and a medical room.

In addition, there are a large number of Fran machine guns, tiger squat guns, and large ships are like batteries, and hundreds of guns are aimed at the land with black calibers.

In addition, on the high mast, there are soldiers in charge of lookout and command, not only to give orders to the soldiers of the ship, but also to take into account the cooperation of the whole army, each ship is like a dungeon on land, united, forming a perfect defense system, the combat power has multiplied, so that every soldier has great confidence.

After the battle, of course. Most of these ships will be damaged by the sea ice and will no longer be usable, so the loss is not small. But Zhang Ke didn't care. As long as you can win, no matter how much you lose, it is worth it, human life is not worth much, let alone a few ships.

At the same time, Zhang Ke mobilized the army and civilians to take ice on the sea to build a wall, and set up a defense line on Changsheng Island. Layers of resistance.

While everyone was still busy with the fortifications, the Tartars finally appeared.

Bands of cavalry whizzed by. Constantly scouting the sea and the situation on the island, they also learned wisely, and did not dare to go forward, but watched from afar. Then he left.

Zhang Ke came across the sea this time, and there was no cavalry in his hands, so in the face of the provocation of the Tartars, he could only sigh with admiration.

"Hmph, you have the ability to fight, a bunch of cowards, scum, garbage, ......" Qiao Fu stood on the deck of the Fu ship. Holding clairvoyance and watching and scolding.

"Don't worry, the Tartars are not good at coming this time, and the good ones are not coming!"

Zhang Ke stepped on the springboard. Came to the deck of the Fukubune.

"Brother Ke, will the Tartars really come in a big way?"

"Not will, but definitely!" Zhang Ke said decisively: "According to the intelligence, the leader of the Tartar army is Huang Taiji, and this person is not the strongest among the sons of the old slave. Fighting a war is also not the bravest. But the traitorous male Cheng dù is far better than his father. He didn't rush to attack, he must have had a plan. Always remember not to be careless! ”

If someone else spoke, Qiao Fu would have said it, but Zhang Ke said that it was a golden rule, which was even more effective than the holy decree.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Ke, if we kill Huang Taiji in this battle, will the power ratio between us and the Tartars be reversed?" If we accumulate strength, we will counterattack Liaoyang and Shenyang, grab all the lost land, and let the Tartars go back to the mountains to dig ginseng! ”

Qiao Fu laughed, and suddenly he found that Zhang Ke had a faint layer of sadness on his face. This scared him, no matter what the situation was in the past, Zhang Ke was a confident optimist, why did he seem lonely this time!

"Brother Ke, are you afraid of Huang Taiji?"

"A defeated general, what is there to be afraid of!" Zhang Ke smiled contemptuously, "Brother Fu, have you heard of a saying, Taiping is a general, don't let the general see Taiping!" ”

"Of course I've heard it, this means that emperors have always been indifferent and ruthless, unloading and killing donkeys, and most of the heroes will inevitably die......," Qiao Fu said, shuddering suddenly, panicking, and his face changed greatly.

"Brother Ke, could it be that the imperial court wants to ......"

"Be careful!" Zhang Ke stopped him, stared at the reckless snowy field, and said for a while: "Some time ago, someone came to report that the emperor sent Sun Chengzong to Liaodong. Now that the sea is frozen, there is no news. But I think Sun Chengzong also wants to take power for the emperor, don't forget that he is the Donglin Party! ”

Qiao Fu is not a fool in the capital, Donglin Party and Zhang Ke are enemies of life and death, two first assistants, and several main generals have fallen into Zhang Ke's hands.

In addition, the relationship between them and the Jin merchants, coupled with the whipping of the corpse Yang Lian, caused a fatal injury to the reputation of the Donglin Party on which it depended. If it weren't for Zhang Ke's outstanding achievements, coupled with the backing of the inner court and the addition of saints, Zhang Ke would have been drowned out by the impeachment of the Donglin Party alone.

It's not that Tianqi doesn't know the contradiction between Zhang Ke and the Donglin Party, he just sent a person from Donglin to Liaodong, which is too interesting!

The more Qiao Fu thought about it, the more anxious he became, and sweat flowed from his sideburns on a cold day.

"Don't worry yet!" Zhang Ke smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Jiannu has not been destroyed, and the imperial court will not start for the time being. However, this battle must be fought well, Changsheng Island is not only a nail in southern Liaoning, but also my back road, and there is no room for failure! ”

Although Qiao Fu didn't fully understand Zhang Ke's plan, he still nodded vigorously.

"Brother Ke, don't worry, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

Rumble!

A cannon rang out, earth-shattering, startling Qiao Fu.

"Damn, which grandson is playing with the cannon? It's crooked! ”

At this moment, suddenly the soldier on the mast desperately shook the small red flag in his hand.

"It's the Tartars coming!"

Zhang Ke immediately looked in the northwest direction, and sure enough, a large black shadow was overwhelming, and it quickly swept over. There were three or four thousand cavalry, covering the sky and the sun, and rushed from Beixinkou, the strongest frozen one.

"Damn, the Tartar is dead!" Qiao Fu scolded: "Order all the brothers, get ready for battle!" ”

The Yizhou soldiers moved extremely fast, and the first to strike was the artillery.

As we all know, the artillery of the naval division has a large caliber, a long range, and floats on the sea, which is far more difficult than on the road, so the artillery of the naval division is more fierce than its counterparts on land.

Li Yong is the number one gunner under Ming Wenyuan, and he is extremely accurate, but he has a bad temper and doesn't know how to meet his boss, so he is just a poor president.

But just three days ago, Lord Shaobao personally inspected the defense line, Li Yong demonstrated his shooting skills, and Zhang Ke directly promoted him to be the commander of Qian, responsible for commanding all artillery.

Li Yong is full of ambition and has made great achievements, just today!

The Jiannu cavalry was getting closer and closer, and it had reached more than seven hundred paces, and the red-coated cannon could hit lightly.

"Children, the opportunity to repay the young man has come, and I will beat Lao Tzu hard!" Li Yong shouted at the top of his voice, and the red-hot iron chisel touched the fire door. There was an earth-shattering bang.

More than ten pounds of shells fell into the ranks of the Tartars, and countless cavalry were broken to pieces and blasted into slag. In the midst of a wave of exclamations, at least a dozen Tartars were killed.

"Master is mighty!"

The morale of the artillerymen was so great that they lit the ropes, and a ball of iron fell from the sky and fell into the ranks of the Tartars, some of whom were smashed off their heads, some of whom had big holes in their chests, and some of whom were turned into a pile of rotten flesh with their horses.

The bloody rain swept through the Tartars, and in the blink of an eye, the charging team was scattered.

It's just that the Tartars in front died, and the people behind were not afraid at all, but accelerated the pace of the charge.

"Hmph, no matter how much you come, it's rubbish!"

Li Yong sneered contemptuously: "Prepare to scatter!" ”

The herald who received the order hurriedly waved the small flag in his hand, and the soldier on the mast could see it clearly, and he also hurriedly conveyed the order.

Relying on the proficient flag language, the Yizhou soldiers can be like an arm, just like a person. The Tartars are getting closer and closer, and all but the Tiger Squat Cannon can be obtained.

The sound of artillery came and went, and the entire position was shrouded in thick gunsmoke, which made people cough incessantly.

The Tartars in the middle of the charge were devastated, and the scattered bullets fell from the air, like hailstones, and everywhere they covered, the Tartars all had broken limbs, serious injuries and deaths, and the ground was full of stumps and broken legs, and red blood stained the sea ice.

Just above the mainland, on the top of a dirt mountain, the fat Huang Taiji rode a jujube red war horse, staring at the battlefield, his face was cloudy and changeable.

Hauge followed closely, his little face pale and his eyes full of fear.

Huang Taiji said quietly: "You know how powerful Zhang Ke is, do you still want to be a pioneer?" ”

"The child is ignorant, please punish Amma."

"No need, let the Mongols fight hard first, tell the warriors, rest well, don't rush to battle." (To be continued)
