Chapter 137: Tacit Understanding

The iron horsemen of the tribal alliance were like three floods of embankments, surging and sweeping away any creature that stood in their way.

"Steady, steady, don't panic, steady."

In front of the defensive phalanx of the wolf battalion, the officers shouted loudly to stabilize their subordinates, all the soldiers of the wolf battalion have experienced several battles, and they can be regarded as having gone through the test of blood and fire, and they have become a real soldier, even if they are nervous, they will not be frightened by the torrent of iron and steel rolling in front of them, let alone collapse with fright.

Although Cao Bianjiao eliminated a large number of soldiers when cleaning up and rectifying Mao Wenlong's subordinates, he still incorporated some young soldiers who had not yet been completely contaminated with bad habits.

However, fear is fear, but they dare not throw away the musket in their hands and run away, the wolf camp is strictly disciplined, dare to turn around and run away, not to be cut down by the iron sword in the officer's hand, but also to be shot by other wolf soldiers, they can only hold on, fortunately, none of the wolf soldiers around them showed a frightened expression, and some even smiled and estimated how many feats they could make in this battle, which made them feel a little settled.

"The four battalions obey the order, all of them have it, turn back, and walk in unison."

At the same time, the shouts of the officers sounded in the rear formation, and the rows of wolf soldiers turned around in unison under the officer's command, walked towards the beach with neat steps, and boarded the small boats in an orderly manner.

On the sea, dozens of large warships lined up, facing the shore with their side sides, and the small windows on the side of the ships were opened, revealing thick and bright gun barrels.

On the flagship, Wei Yuanqing, who had just taken over as the chief officer of the Liaodong Naval Division, stood on the control tower, holding a monocular to observe the movement on the coast.

Artillery is the god of war, Zhu Jian not only pays close attention to the training of the infantry artillery, but also pays close attention to the training of the navy, the Liaodong Navy Division is very heavy in Zhu Jian's heart, at least at the moment it is heavier than the sea wolf fleet, and Wei Yuanqing was relegated to his hometown because of his crimes, and later Song Xiance valued it, and was reused, and was promoted to the chief officer of the Liaodong Navy Division.

After taking office, he paid close attention to the daily training of the naval division, especially the accuracy of artillery bombardment, with the triangulation and positioning method provided by Zhu Jian, and the assistance of a monocular to correct it, now, the artillery shooting accuracy of the Ming Dynasty has improved, and the artillery accuracy of the naval division has also improved.

If it is a naval battle, it is difficult to say the accuracy of shooting, it is mostly a matter of luck, but now it is a target to bombard the coast, although it is a fast-moving target, but it is enough to cover some areas with dense artillery fire.

The first artillery was a test firing, the second and third artillery was a school firing, and the fourth artillery basically determined the area of bombardment.

"Fire!"

Wei Yuanqing gave the order for the fleet to open fire, and on the way to Liaodong to take up his post, he received a secret letter written by the Son of Heaven himself, which contained a lot of information, in addition to telling him to train the Liaodong Naval Division well and form a Marine Corps or something, the most important thing was to tell him to cooperate well with Cao Bianjiao to defend Phi Island, cross the sea to fight, and harass the rear of the Jin Army.

Wei Yuanqing also took the time to land on the island for this reason, and discussed with Cao Bianjiao, both of them are young people, and they both have the straightforward personality and temper of military generals, they have a long talk, cherish each other, learn from the ancients and swear blood to worship their sons, Wei Yuan's young man, as a matter of course, be the eldest brother.

This sea-crossing sneak attack is the battle plan agreed upon by him and Cao Bianjiao, taking advantage of the winter before it comes, to make a good profit, to earn a military merit, moreover, after Cao Bianjiao took over the defense of Phi Island, he has been busy with infrastructure construction, and there is no action to cross the sea, and the Jin army defending the coast is estimated to have slackened, and it is indeed time to move.

In addition to undertaking the task of carrying troops and materials, the Liaodong Naval Division also undertook the combat mission of artillery cover, which Zhu Jian repeatedly emphasized in his secret letters, and the two sides must cooperate sincerely in order to ensure the smooth and safe landing and sneak attack operations of the wolf camp.

Boom Boom Boom –

The ship's gunwales opened fire one after another, spewing out clouds of fire and smoke, and the whistling flowering shells blew up clouds of fire and smoke on the sand, enveloping the three charging tribal iron cavalry.

The war horse in the full charge let out a mournful neigh, fell down with a bang, and threw the knight on his back away, and some knights were shot by shrapnel in all directions, screaming and falling from the horse, for a while, the cavalry of the tribal coalition army shrouded in steel barrage turned over on their backs, and the blood light burst out, and the stump and broken arm were thrown away, and the screams were endless.

Although there are many naval guns of the Liaodong Naval Division, the artillery rate of fire in these years is low, and the dense and fierce artillery fire only plays a role in blocking the continuous attack of the enemy, and although these tribal coalition forces are not the fierce elite Eight Banner Army, they are also fearless in life and death, even if they are bombarded by large-caliber naval guns and lose a lot of men and horses, there are still a few iron cavalry rushing through the death blockade line constructed by the steel barrage, and rushing towards the defensive phalanx of the wolf soldiers.

"First platoon, prepare, shoot."

With the shouting of the officer, the wolf soldiers in the first row of the defensive phalanx fired their guns in ping-pong, and then stepped back, and the wolf soldiers in the second row took two steps forward, took aim with their guns, and then obeyed the officer's command, and put down the guns in ping-pong.

Although the warriors of the tribal alliance are brave and fearless of life and death, they are flesh and blood after all, shrouded in the dense rain of bullets, they all screamed and fell, and the fat and strong horses neighed and collapsed, no one could rush to the front and step into the formation, and occasionally a few arrows shot and injured several wolf soldiers, most of them were bounced away by iron helmets or cuirasers, and basically did not cause damage to the wolf soldiers.

With the support of the powerful firepower of the naval guns, the charging tribal coalition was blocked several times, and suffered heavy casualties, even if they rushed through the death blockade line of dense artillery fire, but the formation was scattered, and the number was too small, and the rush up basically became the target of the wolf artillerymen.

Seeing that the Ming army was fierce and the casualties were too great, the patriarchs of the various tribes hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, and watched the wolf soldiers retreat swaggeringly, boarding the ship and leaving, with gloomy expressions one by one.

After Cao Bianjiao and Wei Yuanqing returned to Phi Dao, they first wrote a war report letter to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong, and at the same time sent people to report the merits, as well as more than 100 rescued tribal slaves to escort them to Beijing, which were cut by the Son of Heaven and placed the rescued Ming people.

Although the two are young, they are not just stunned young people who know how to do it, under the guidance of the staff, they divided a small part of the captured spoils to Inspector Hong, plus two captured tribal Mei Jiao Niang, and the report also mentioned Inspector Hong, the action plan was reviewed and approved by Inspector Hong, so that Hong Chengchou was happy in his heart, and praised Xiao Cao General and Wei Zongbing for being sensible and knowing how to behave, and was a rare young brave general in the Ming Dynasty, and won the favor of the Son of Heaven, and the future will be immeasurable.

Horqin grassland, sweat tent.

"Cao Bianjiao, you are a ...... Bastard...... Back to Liaodong! ”

When Huang Taiji received the news, it had been N for a long time, and he roared and flipped the table on the spot, gritted his teeth and cursed, and then ordered to return to Liaodong.
