Chapter 436: Hengyu
When it was just getting dark, the tide was receding so that you could clearly see Hengyu.
The Northwest Army took advantage of this opportunity and went up to the beach with a large bundle of unknown things.
Although the navy has collided with the enemy army many times, it is still no match for their group of guys who have been mixing at sea all year round. Land warfare is the best way, now that it is winter, there are obviously more opportunities to be able to fight on land, and the Heng army naturally has to seize this opportunity and solve the war as soon as possible.
The moonlight was dim, and Yu Jingning silently commanded the soldiers who collected the ground forward.
The tidal flats are not too hard to freeze, and if people and horses step on them, there is still a possibility of sinking.
This kind of soft and collapsed mud was common when Yu Jingning was in Liaodong, but it was the beginning of spring at that time, and it was very troublesome when the frozen soil thawed, but there was a solution.
The infantry of the Northwest Army took the lead, filling what they were holding under their feet, moving forward little by little, while the cavalry followed.
This is used to fill the ground with hay.
It's the middle of winter, and even if it's Jiangnan, it's all over the place. Yu Jingning and the others took half a day to collect so much hay.
The group moved slowly forward, barely audible as they made a human sound.
The sea washed over the mud, swishing, and retreated, almost as fast as Yu Jingning and the others were advancing.
A group of people were silently moving forward, and Leng Buding's eyes lit up, and a torch lit up on the island, followed by a chaotic Yu Jingning's voice that they couldn't understand.
It's Dongei dialect! They were discovered.
There was no shelter around this Hengyu, and it was expected to be discovered, only to see Yu Jingning take out an arrow from the quiver, shoot it with a bow, and shoot the person with the torch with one arrow.
The torch fell to the ground and was extinguished in a few clicks, but after all, the man shouted loudly and had already passed the news on.
More and more torches were lit, and the island was crowded with people and shouts.
Yu Jingning's surroundings only admitted that they didn't need to wait for the order, since Yu Jingning shot the first arrow, they had already drawn out their bows and arrows, and the whole army opened their strong bows and crossbows in unison, and thousands of arrows were fired together, and for a while, the air was densely packed with arrows.
Naturally, the people on the island refused to show weakness, and after Yu Jingning shot down the person holding the torch with an arrow, almost at the same time, they all drew their bows and arrows.
The infantry in the front row of the Heng army raised their shields and waved their troops to block the arrows that flew away. In the silence of the night, the sound of the arrow breaking on the shield was particularly noticeable.
Yu Jingning felt in a trance that he had heard this kind of sound, which was no different from ringing a chime.
But this was not the time to be distracted, Yu Jingning immediately pulled back his flying thoughts and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
Seeing that the bow and arrow did not work, the people of Dongying on the island actually changed to another method. The Shenji rocket may not be enough, so they dipped cotton wool in fire oil and lit it and shot at Hengjun.
They do not shoot at them, they hold extremely hard shields, and these arrows are aimed at their feet.
The ground was covered with hay.
It stands to reason that the hay is soaked in water and should not be so easy to pick up.
However, in order to allow the cavalry behind to ride on their horses without sinking, the hay laid out by the foot soldiers in front was quite thick, and such a pile of fire rushed up, and directly set fire to the hay under their feet.
"Wow", the arrows on fire and the arrows set fire to the hay under the feet of everyone, and jumped three feet high in anger, and the zilazila burned, and the little foot soldier who was holding a shield to explore the way in front was burned by the fire, and he screamed and shrank back.
This shrinkage was not good, the back of his head slanted against the man behind him, hitting his head and face.
It is impossible to spread hay to cover all this large tidal flat, at most take care of a little place under the feet, and the unfortunate child was knocked to the side, and one of them was caught off guard, and stepped into the mud next to him.
It's terrible at this moment, the mud is soft, and he directly sinks himself into it with this kick.
The Heng army played the infantry of the forward for a while, and it was chaotic.
It was impossible for the comrades beside him to watch him sink and quickly drag the little stepman upward.
This drag was terrible, and I fell down several times.
The front of the Heng army was missing a horn. The people behind looked at it, good guy, this is terrible, and quickly plugged this flaw, while actively rescuing the people who fell in.
A few of them found that it was useless to pull upwards raw, so they began to change their tactics and let people roll sideways on the tidal flats.
Unexpectedly, this method really worked, and these men pulled out their legs and rolled them sideways on the hay.
And by the way, the fire was also extinguished.
A group of people finally found a solution and scrambled to extinguish the fire.
Yu Jingning's goal for them was to land on the island before the tide rose, which was actually not difficult.
The Heng army withstood the attack of the Japanese and forcibly landed on the island.
Land warfare was the strength of the Northwest Army, and as soon as they reached the island, they were unstoppably ahead of their time.
Although it was impossible to bring cannons this time, the cavalry's firearms were still readily available, and since they went to the island, the firearms in the hands of the cavalry have hardly stopped.
The cavalry and infantry cooperated, and since they went to Hengyu, the sound of fire has not stopped.
By the time dawn came, the pirates of the island had been annihilated by annihilation, and the captives had been captured.
A group of foot soldiers were busy untying the people who were taken prisoner on the island, and asked them: "Are there any Dongying people on this island who can speak our Daheng official language?" ”
The official language of the common people on this island is not very good, and Yu Jingning listened to it for a long time before he heard that he said "no".
He struggled for a long time and asked the people in the team who were originally from the Nanjing Army, and the result was that the local dialect in these two places was a little far apart, and he couldn't understand it very well.
Yu Jingning helped his forehead, regretting that he didn't ask someone from Honglu Temple to come with him, and now he can't understand Dongying's words, and he can't understand Daheng's words.
So he had to endure the dialect mixed with the official land that he could barely understand, and continued to ask the rescued people: "The leader of the Japanese Bandits, is Takei Ichiro on this island?" If not, you don't know where they are. ”
The answers were "no" and "don't know".
Yu Jingning sighed helplessly, shook his head and asked his subordinates to take the rescued prisoners down to rest.
He walked around the island and flattened his mouth, and it seemed that he must now find someone who can speak Dongying and find out the news for them.
Could it be that this time he will write a letter back to Beijing and send someone from Honglu Temple over?
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
