Chapter 38: The Ice Slope
The enemy is indeed almost coming.
A few minutes later, on the sea in the northwest direction, thousands of Houjin cavalry stepped on the ice and rushed towards this side densely from the sea.
They are murderous.
Because they know very well that although there are more than 1,000 defenders on Juehua Island (7,000 in historical facts), but the island is now neither dangerous to defend nor blocked by a city wall, and their cavalry rushes straight over, that is, the wolf enters the flock, and the other party cannot have any effective resistance at all.
More than ten miles of sea routes, for many years has been the Ming army's moat, with this moat, Juehua Island only needs to guard a little against pirates who run out of the Han themselves, other times, there is no need to worry about the attack of the Houjin army, because even if the Houjin army can occasionally build a few small broken boats, for the Ming army and the Houjin army, the biggest advantage of the Houjin - cavalry - can not play its due role at sea, so it is still quite difficult to attack Juehua Island.
In any case, although the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Houjin in the land of Liaodong, its navy was still very strong, hundreds of years ago there was "Zheng He went to the West", even if its navy has not improved since then, it is stronger than the poor naval army of the Houjin, so under normal circumstances, the Houjin fought against the Ming army at sea, which is tantamount to asking for hardship.
But this time the situation is very different.
Because I don't have to take a boat this time.
This time, you can ride a tall horse, cross the twenty-mile strait, and go directly to explode the enemy's chrysanthemum.
In a sense, the name of Juehua Island is really right, Juehua Juehua, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, just look at the name and know that it is going to be exploded.
What's more, there are no decent generals on that island.
It's just a logistics base. And everyone understands what kind of people are generally engaged in logistics.
Hou Jin Jun also understands.
Therefore, the thousands of iron horsemen of the Houjin army were murderous, holding high the big sword, preparing to explode the chrysanthemum happily to vent the hatred of the fiasco in Ningyuan City.
According to historical records, it was the middle of winter, the sea was frozen, and the Ming army saw that the Houjin army was coming, so they chiseled a piece of ice along the coastal island to block the Houjin cavalry. However, the weather at sea was extremely cold, the ice had just been chiseled, and it was immediately re-knotted, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Houjin army galloped from the ice to attack Juehua Island, and the Ming army on the island had no armor, weapons, and sailors, and could not withstand the war, and finally was outnumbered, and under the onslaught of the Houjin cavalry, the whole army was annihilated.
This is a war with little suspense.
Although the Houjin cavalry who rushed from Ningyuan City to Juehua Island had not read the later history, they obviously still knew the strength and weakness of the two sides.
The only advantage of the island Ming army has been erased by God, and for them, the only thing they can do now may be to try to destroy the ice and regain their advantage.
Ming Jun also agrees with this view.
Therefore, when wolf smoke was lit on the top of the hill in the center of the island - "a large number of enemy troops appeared on the sea" - the Ming army on Juehua Island quickly moved into full action.
They were ready to go out en masse to the sea ahead to break the ice -- to cut the ice.
But at this time, they were in a little trouble.
Because they seem to be blocked by something, and they don't have time to go out in large numbers to wreak havoc.
Since it's inconvenient to go out, let's stay inside collectively!
So history has changed a little bit here.
As an early level, NPCs are not highly intelligent, but it doesn't mean that they don't have intelligence, and it doesn't mean that they just follow what history they don't know how to change.
Except for some important "plots", in other cases, when it is time to be flexible, they will still be flexible, but the early NPCs are not as "adaptable" and "adaptable at any time" as the later NPCs.
A few minutes later, the Houjin cavalry massively slaughtered in front of the island.
What made them very strange was that along the way, the imaginary scene of "the Ming army desperately chiseling ice" did not appear, and on the sea, there was not a single person who chiseled ice.
The Ming army did not destroy the ice.
Instead of destroying the ice, they also strengthened and protected it.
A conspicuous city of ice appeared before them, on the surface of the sea.
(Note: The area of Juehua Island in reality is 12 square kilometers, and in the dungeon, according to the ratio of the number of historical defenders to the number of dungeon defenders, it has also been reduced year-on-year, about 2 square kilometers.) )
To be honest, although Zhen Ji is a very patient irrigator, she is not a very professional architect, so the ice wall she built can hardly be regarded as a wall.
To be exact, it should be considered an "ice slope" - there is no way, the water has to flow diagonally down, and the irrigators can only watch it flow before it freezes. During the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Ying fought Ma Chao, he once used the severe cold to build an ice city overnight, which used a lot of military strength to use ice to create a real "wall" with a high enough inclination, but Zhen Ji was only a weak woman just now, and it was already a miracle that she could make a frozen slope - you know, even Chen Yu just wanted her to try it at the beginning, and he didn't have any hope of success.
But Zhen Ji really didn't live up to his slight expectations.
As soon as the word "ice slope" comes out, it is easier to imagine what the scene is like on the surface of the sea now.
Then, if you have watched the Anti-Japanese War drama, the scene of the next scene is easier to imagine.
Countless Ming soldiers lay on the top of the slope, drawing bows and shooting arrows, just like everyone lying in the trench and shooting guns in the Anti-Japanese War drama.
It's just that in the Anti-Japanese War drama, everyone was lying very low to prevent themselves from being shot by the enemy's artillery fire, but now, the Ming army is lying very high - so that they can shoot accurately.
So history has changed a little bit here.
Originally, it was supposed that the Ming army was desperately digging the ice, but the Hou Jin army looked at the ice that was quickly re-formed and laughed comfortably, but now, it was the Hou Jin army jumping off the horse and trying to chisel the ice with the sword in his hand, while the Ming army was desperately shooting arrows to stop it.
The reason is very simple, the ice slope is too slippery, and the horses of the Houjin army cannot rush up.
Not only could the horses not rush up, but the Houjin army did not carry the ladder that could climb the wall and climb the slope.
So they had only one choice: like the Ming army, cut some gaps in the ice slope with their swords, and then climb up the gaps themselves.
And so a unique battle began.
The Houjin army at the bottom of the slope gave up their cavalry advantage, jumped off their horses, and climbed the slope in the face of a hail of bullets and bullets - the kind of slope that would slide down immediately if they were not careful, and cut some gaps in the ice slope on their side with their swords a few minutes in advance, and then climbed up early by stepping on the gaps, and the Ming troops who occupied the top of the slope desperately shot arrows downward to prevent the enemy from coming up, and at the same time, from time to time stabbed the enemy troops who were about to rush up with their spears, causing them to slide back.
It's a bit like the feeling of the Battle of Shangganling -- Poe is mine, and I won't let anyone come!
The battle soon became quite fierce.
To be honest, although Zhen Ji is a very patient irrigator, she is not a very professional architect, so there are some gaps or "valleys" between the ice slopes she builds from time to time - for example, the crack that Chen Yu got into before.
Since there are seams, there will be people who will drill them.
So soon there were also Houjin soldiers to drill holes.
Then the soldiers were lucky enough to win the lottery.
Behind the hole, swords rained down.
Chen Yu said that squatting and cutting people is a very comfortable thing, with low risk and high returns.
Many soldiers of the Ming army held the same opinion.
"System Prompt: You triggered a special event - [Officers and Soldiers Emulate]."
Again, as an early level, NPCs are not highly intelligent, but that doesn't mean they don't have intelligence.
So soon, the "left-behind" Ming troops who did not climb to the top of the slope learned this hand.
Even the "special event" came out, which greatly surprised Chen Yu's expectations.
But - I love it!
So it was more pleasant to cut people.
The battle on both sides of the ice slope lasted more than half an hour. Thirty or forty minutes later, although the Ming army guarding the island grabbed a great advantage in advance, the quality and equipment of the Houjin soldiers were still a little higher, so the top of the slope was finally gradually grabbed by the Houjin soldiers.
So everyone hurriedly retreated.
Then at this time, the soldiers of the Houjin Army saw something that made them almost cry directly.
Behind the first ice slope that was finally snatched down, the second ice slope that surrounded the whole island has long been completed and is now officially revealed......
Moreover, a large number of Ming troops had already cut the gap from the inside and climbed to the top of the slope again, and the archers were ready again.
That's the way it is.
Of course, as a half-hung architect without a building license, Yingling Zhen Ji said that in fact, there is still a gap between the slopes, otherwise we ourselves would not be able to return in time.
As a player from modern society, Chen Yu said, I don't agree with you getting into it as easily as we do, but I will squat on the other side of the seam and defend your right to drill the seam to the death......
And so the battle continued.
