Chapter 1319: Raft

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong's brows furrowed, and he said with some surprise: "Could it be that they also want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something?" ”

The battle is not about to start when the two sides meet, the Jianzhou Jurchens have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they have rushed to the area closest to Phi Island in Tieshan County, which is equivalent to occupying the easiest point to attack, and all the attacks will be launched at this point, where they must set up camps, wait for the supplies by the river to be delivered, and plunder the nearby Goryeo villages, let the Goryeo people cut down trees and build rafts, and also arrange sentry guards in the peripheryAlthough it arrived at noon, it is estimated that the offensive will not be launched until at least the day after tomorrow.

The later the battle is more beneficial to Dongjiang Town, it is blocked too tightly in advance, and Dongjiang Town is only a day and a half in advance to prepare, and unlike before, in the past, it was more or less possible to ask for help from Denglai Town, but now Denglai Town in Shandong is already frozen, and it is impossible to have reinforcements to be transferred, of course, since the Zhao army defeated the main force of the official army in Denglai Town, Denglai Town's support to Dongjiang Town is only in terms of grain and grass and military funds, and people are often the Liao people who have fled and then re-levy them back, but this has caused several fires and commotions, I finally ran out, and then let everyone go back, no one wanted to, so it was very difficult.

At present, there are only two places that Dongjiang Town can count on, one is Zhangpan on the Jinzhou side, and the other is the official army of Tianjin Wei, Dongjiang Town has a ship in his hand, and the Jianzhou Jurchen has no way to block it, but Zhangpan has no time to take care of himself, and the Tianjin officials and troops have never taken care of Liaozhen, even if they want to manage it, they are beyond the reach of the whip, and all Dongjiang Town can do now is to report to the official government yamen who can report for help, hoping that this is one in ten thousand possibilities and hopes.

Phi Dao himself also knows this situation, so he did his best to know the destiny of heaven to send a ship for help, mainly to prepare for a decisive battle on his own, if it was in the past, I am afraid that all the ships would have been full of people and ran out, to Shandong, to other places in Goryeo, if not good will kill each other for this ship, but now it is different, because of the start of trade with Xuzhou, Dongjiang Town gradually has a little confidence, the island's food is enough, there is no shortage of materials, and the soldiers have also won several battles, in the case that the ships are far from enough to escape. Why not spell.

After all, the military and civilians on Phi Island have a common enmity with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and since many people have stayed, they have to fight hard, not leave.

At the beginning of this night, whether it is on the island or on land, the coastline opposite to each other is lit up, bonfires everywhere, on the one hand, it is necessary to work and prepare for the night, on the other hand, it is to guard against the other party's raid at night, the same way, the fortress of Yunshan Line is also brightly lit, the five companies are divided into two parts, taking turns to rest at night, the artillery fire and ammunition are in the chamber, and the few sea ships left behind are also on full alert, for the Zhao army in Xuzhou, it is not only facing war, but also the threat around it.

In addition to the soldiers on duty for combat readiness, the guys of Yunshan Xing and the elite soldiers who were drawn out took turns to go out, bring back the news from the outside, and then made it clear that they would not send troops or lend firearms, Dongjiang Town clearly gave a request, martial law during the war, and hoped that the commercial house guards in Xuzhou would not go out of the commercial house, so as not to have any misunderstanding, Zhao Song had no opinion on this request, but he would not be bored and not move here, he wanted to know the wind and grass outside.

The only thing to worry about is the morale of each company, in fact, even Zhao Song himself wants to fight with the Jianzhou Nuzhen, but this situation is really wrong, the battle is in response to the people's hearts, but if you lose everything, it is a big sin, Zhao Song clearly knows what his five hundred people represent, and their equipment is also equipped with a regiment in the Zhao family's army, if Dongjiang Town has such equipment, the entire strategy of the Zhao family's army will be in trouble.

The reason why there is no need to worry about it is because the company in the firm saw the evacuation of the officers and soldiers from the village not far away, and they didn't care about it before, so they were naturally exploited by the other party.

Everyone knows one thing, Xuzhou is Xuzhou, Daming is Daming, even in the face of the Tartars, Daming does not regard Xuzhou as his own people

Originally, the night of Phi Island, which could only hear the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, was not so quiet, and the two points on the north and west coast were full of people, and in other places it was heavily guarded, and the dark night did not mean that you could rest, and you had to guard against each other's infiltration, in this night, rowing or taking a raft to find a secluded place on Phi Island to land, it was much easier than in the daytime, this point, Jianzhou Jurchen knew, Dongjiang Town also knew.

According to the news that Yunshanxing's men kept sending back, there had been several battles around Phi Island this night, and the fierce Jianzhou Jurchens on land really couldn't take advantage of the sea, not to mention that they could only go ashore in small teams, and they were all killed on the beach by the elite of Dongjiang Town, who had been prepared for a long time.

"Tomorrow you take two people to the battlefield and use what you have learned in school to bring back what you see." Zhao Song pointed to the name of a team leader, Zhao Song also took classes in the Xuzhou Martial Arts Hall, all the generals who were born in it, the experience and courage may not be as good as others, but there is a set of rules for doing things, and watching the battle is also different from others, they can see the information that Zhao Jiajun needs most.

After giving this order, Zhao Song immediately went to rest, in the face of the upcoming battle, he was actually very excited, but Zhao Song knew that he had to sleep, otherwise there was no way to ensure that he was full of energy during the day, Zhao Jiajun's military law rules are not false, everything depends on the actual effect, the main general does not sleep for his subordinates to be on duty at night, although he loves soldiers like children, but when he is in battle, his lack of energy will lead to his subordinates in danger, whether this is love or not.

But Zhao Song woke up very early, he had slept enough, and because Phi Dao woke up very early, when the light first appeared, the sound of drums and horns had already sounded on Phi Dao, and on this day, he really didn't dare to slack off.

Zhao Song and Luo Chen's estimation was very correct, the sporadic Zhao family soldiers' actions Dongjiang Town was too lazy to pay attention, although the other party refused to help, but still provided military funds, plus the previous situation, there was no reason to be hostile, the team sent out was almost the entire Phi Island with others, bringing back more detailed information, although the atmosphere was very tense, but the Jianzhou Jurchens still would not attack today, because they were not ready, and they had not seen a raft go to sea yet.

However, Dongjiang Town has already asked for help from Goryeo, and they don't expect the weak Goryeo soldiers and horses to drive out the Tartars, but Goryeo has a favorable location and sends troops to contain the unscrupulous Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses, and Dongjiang Town on Phi Island has a much greater grasp of self-preservation, so another day passed in a tense atmosphere.

In June and July, the Kannai was almost the hottest time, and the night and early morning on Phi Island were a little cold, which made Zhao Song, who was afraid of heat, sleep well, and the excitement of the day before yesterday calmed down, and he slept a little heavier on this day, when he was awakened by the horn sound of Phi Dao, he also heard the shouts of nothingness, which was the sound of the battlefield.

"Camp Zheng, the Tartar soldiers and horses have begun to cross the sea to attack!" Someone was reporting loudly outside, and Zhao Song started violently, and at such a critical time, he was also wearing armor when he slept.

According to his description, when the sky was just dawning, Chen Jisheng, who was stationed on the north shore of Phi Island, was about to blow the horn and beat the drum to start a new day's vigilance.

Three miles is only more than a thousand steps, even on the sea, even if it is on a raft, it doesn't take too much time, the Jianzhou Jurchen is really unambiguous, and the raid is as good as possible, but the reaction of Dongjiang Town is also not slow, and various situations must be taken into account on the battlefield, and the ships here have also begun to go to the sea to meet the battle.

The easy-to-maneuver ships on the simple rafts, one is to attack condescendingly, and the other is to have an advantage in speed, and although the large number of firearms in Dongjiang Town are not as elite as the Zhao family's army, they can play well on such a battlefield, because of the shelter and advantage of the ships, the soldiers can close to a dozen steps and fire, how can this distance be powerful.

The sea is calm and calm, very suitable for paddling forward, whether it is a boat or a raft, the large fleet of ships and the large fleet of rafts are engaged with the army on the land battle array, rushing close to each other, and then starting a battle, what the Dongjiang Town fleet did not expect is that the Jianzhou Jurchen actually used the people of Liaodong to row the raft, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners used these people to cover them, and by the way they forced them not to move.

These Liaozhen Hanmin, who were arrested and driven, immediately cried loudly after seeing that the other party was a Ming official army, shouting for help and sparing their lives, but one or two slow ones were directly cut down into the sea, and they cried and shouted, but their movements did not slow down in the slightest.

The Ming officials and soldiers never cared about the life and death of the people, and many battalion leaders encountered such a scene and directly killed them, so as not to harm themselves, but the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town were different, they fled from Liao Town, many people were just ordinary people before, and they have been gathering all these years, looking at the refugees and people in front of them who are the same as themselves, they really can't do it, or hesitate for a moment, so that the raft comes closer.

When the raft and the boat approached, the people of Liaozhen who were crying and shouting took out the iron hook with the thick rope, directly linked it with the boat, and then bit the weapon and climbed to the boat, and the Jurchen soldiers in the raft were holding bows and arrows, and the arrows were constantly shooting on the deck, and finally someone reacted, these people were pretending!
