Huang Chongzhen was full of Yuan Qi and others standing behind him at the right time, and even the golden crown was shoulder to shoulder with him to show his support, and Zhou Ji, Lao Liu, and Peng Hairpin led the artillery team and pushed the three cannons to the deck.

Yao Fumin and Jin Guan listened carefully to Zhao Shujiao's words, and they still had some disdain and resistance in their hearts, after all, if they wanted a small commander to point fingers at the island defense, they would feel uncomfortable for anyone.

However, when they saw the three red-coated cannons being slowly pushed onto the deck, they then squatted majestically like tigers at dawn.

I saw that behind the young man standing in the wind, I don't know when there was a half-big tiger and a half-big black bear squatting silently, like a guardian beast.

All the negative emotions in their hearts were temporarily dissipated from surprise and surprise.

After Huang Chongzhen's introduction, they learned the names of the tiger and the black bear - Xiaobai and Dahei.

Xiao Bai and Da Hei roared angrily in the wind at the right time, as if to declare that they were not only beast kings on land, but also on islands in the sea, they could also dominate.

In addition to marveling at the psychic spirit of the two young beasts, the Juehua soldiers also knew the new name of the three cannons - the red-clothed cannon.

Although there was only a difference of one word, all the soldiers thought that the name was more down-to-earth and more powerful and domineering after removing the lengthy prefix, so they thundered with joy.

"Didn't you say there's a secret weapon? Where is it? Where? Show us! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, when the island defense begins to be arranged, you will understand everything."

"Okay, let's get started."

The arrangement of the island defense began in full swing when everyone was at their most popular.

Huang Chongzhen saw that they were enthusiastic and stubborn, and they didn't seem to sell their accounts as a thousand-commander.

Say a few more words yourself, they hinder Zhao Shujiao's face, although they will not tell him to get out, but they will glare at him fiercely, and they will be happy to relax, looking for a place to set up guns and arrange barbed wire.

Yuan Qi was angry, and he took out Yuan Chonghuan's edict and wanted to find Yao Fumin and Jinguan Theory, but was stopped by Huang Chongzhen and said, "It's okay, let them tinker with it for a while." If it worked, we saved our efforts. ”

Huang Chongzhen originally thought that Yao Fumin and Jin Guan were veterans who knew all the terrain of Juehua Island, and Zhao Shujiao this famous general added some material from time to time, so he should have a good plan to defend the island.

But they never expected that all the plans they prepared to defend the island were based on boats and boats.

Then there is nothing to say, because the sea is frozen, and all the boats are either stranded on the shore or frozen in the sea.

However, the three stinkers were not stupid, even if they planned to arrange the island defenses in the way of defending the city.

For example, all the trees on the island were cut down and made into traditional cavalry obstacles such as deer firewood and horse rejection. Another example is to assemble all the chariots on the island and "line up to defend them".

He even planned to put the three red-clothed cannons and all the birds, guns, bowmen, and crossbowmen in a place called "dragon head" by the military and civilians of the whole island.

The so-called "dragon head" is also the only commanding height of Juehua Island, and it is also a place to store grain, with four higher and thicker stone walls, which can indeed play a role in resisting the Jiannu cavalry to a certain extent.

As a result, it was used by many as a last straw, and most of the defenses were arranged around these four stone walls.

Obviously, this is the place where Zhao led the three of them to carefully select and fight to the death with the attacking Jiannu.

Probably Yuan Chonghuan's successful experience in guarding Ning Yuan had a very far-reaching impact on them, that is, to build the city, with cannons.

This arrangement is mainly defensive, traditional and conservative, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, in many cases, grain and grass are the heart of the army, and there is no room for loss.

More than 20,000 people were stuck in the narrow "dragon head", but they gave up all the places that could be used to block the enemy in the entire Dragon City and even the entire island, and even gave up all the initiative.

In Huang Chongzhen's eyes, this tactic can be called narrow-minded, which is really inappropriate and unwise.

If it is left unchecked, then even if it has a thousand cavalry led by Zhao and three thousand foot soldiers at Shanhaiguan.

In addition, the three red-clothed cannons and the members of the artillery crew, and even Yuan Qi's elite guards such as Yuan Chonghuan, it is absolutely impossible to win.

As a result, at this critical moment that has a profound impact on the survival of the whole island, the war situation in Liaodong, and even the delicate diplomatic situation between the Ming, Jin, and Mongolia have a profound impact.

After all, Huang Chongzhen still had blood in his arms, under heavy pressure, and at the same time, he resolutely stood up in anticipation.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to face Yao Fumin's reprimand, and fought with him: "There were originally nearly 8,000 soldiers on the island, and General Zhao personally led more than 4,000 to help, adding up to 12,000 soldiers who could fight.

Most of the businessmen who come to the island to do business and make a living are mainly young and strong, and making good use of them is a force that cannot be ignored. More than 20,000 people, crammed into a small place to passively defend, is tantamount to self-destruction!

Besides, cannons, bird guns, strong bows, and crossbows, these medium and long-range attack weapons, are not used like this! General Zhao, General Yao, and General Jin, marked the courage, and implored the three of them to temporarily hand over the right to deploy defense on the island to the standard! ”

Time is precious, Huang Chongzhen had to take out Yuan Chonghuan's token and handwritten edict to suppress the formation, although it is very much like a little fox who uses the power of the tiger to establish authority, but after all, the fox itself also has a certain authority.

Because there was indeed no better plan to defend the island, Yao Fumin was speechless, but he was very unconvinced, so he had to turn his head angrily.

Jin Guan looked at Zhao Shujiao, who said with a wry smile: "Let's tell you the truth, I vomited on the boat when I came, and Yuan Shuai and Zu Manzi did write a letter to this kid to emphasize it."

With Yuan Shuai's steadiness and the arrogance of the ancestor barbarian, he should not be untargeted, and joke with the lives of the soldiers and civilians on my whole island. Therefore, I believe that this kid must have real talent and learning, not an embroidered pillow. If the two of you have no opinion, the position of the commander-in-chief in wartime, let this kid sit down! ”

Yuan Qi and the rest of the Yuan family's guards also stood up to support Huang Chongzhen at this time.

Zhou Ji, Peng Hairpin, Lao Liu and others needless to say.

Even Jin Shilin also came out and said: "Uncle, father, and younger brother have had a very good relationship with the Chongzhen brothers in the past few days, and they know a lot. Leaving the responsibility of guarding the island to him for the time being is really the best choice. ”

When the rest of the generals on Juehua Island heard this, they made eye contact, and they all nodded.

Jin Shilin tugged at Yao Fumin's sleeve and nodded in agreement, and although the latter stubbornly turned his head, he no longer objected.

Zhao Shujiao bowed his head slightly, turned to Chongzhen and said in a deep voice: "There is no child's play in the army. Huang Chongzhen, let me ask you, do you dare to make a military order? ”

"The military song should sing the big knife ring, and swear to destroy the Jiannu out of the customs. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned! Huang Chongzhen blurted out, "As for the military order, I have already told the marshal, why are you afraid of setting it up again?" ”

Listening to a young man who was only 16 years old, he actually spoke a chapter and showed his heart to serve the country with great enthusiasm, and everyone present was enthusiastic.

Zhao Shujiao, who didn't like words, really couldn't express the agitation in his heart with words, so he said three "good" in succession, and ordered in the name of the highest military rank that Huang Chongzhen would take over the defense of Juehua Island with full authority.

Only Yao Fumin was still a little unconvinced, and muttered: "The boy whose hair has not yet grown up, will he really have this ability?" ”

Who knew that Huang Chongzhen once again exported into a chapter: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." Husband Xu Guo, there is no need to send it off. ”

Yao Fumin, the old man, was finally stunned, and he turned to Jin Guan again and said, "General Jin, you are well aware of the topography of the island, and you need your full assistance to mark it. ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, so let me and Brother Yao help you." Jin Guan shook Yao Fumin's arm vigorously, trying to eliminate the contradiction between the two of them.

After all, if the enemy is not able to release his past suspicions before the war, it may lead to a complete defeat in the war.

Yao Fumin stubbornly broke free, although he was still a little reluctant, but he still arched his hand towards Chongzhen.

This battle is a life of nine deaths, and only by uniting as one can we put it to death and survive.

He understands the reason, but he is not convinced that he is ruled by a sixteen-year-old boy.

But thinking about it on the other hand, this young man was able to make such a great contribution in the battle of Ningyuan, as long as the credit is repaid, a military lord who garrisons thousands of households is indispensable, but he took the initiative to ask Yingchi to help Juehua Island, which can be called a place of death.

This loyalty and courage is inferior to himself, the defender of Juehua Island.

This friendship is also worthy of the lives of the soldiers on the island.

Thinking of this, Yao Fumin bowed his hand solemnly and gratefully to Huang Chongzhen again.

Huang Chongzhen felt his sincerity and said with great joy: "With the help of two people, what are you afraid of?" ”

Sharpening knives and cutting wood, the fierce debate in exchange for the correct right to arrange the island defense, Huang Chongzhen felt that it was worth it.

Zhao led the teaching to sit in the "leader" of the Chinese army and dispatch in the center.

Yao Fumin and Jin Guan led the young men and soldiers on the island, and according to Huang Chongzhen's specific implementation, they soon arranged the entire Dragon City and the places outside the city into an abyss, but it was extremely difficult to see on the surface.

The three red-clothed cannons are still erected by Huang Chongzhen on top of the commanding "dragon head" town, and the swarthy cannon muzzle is like a tiger's bloody mouth, facing the only landing port on Juehua Island that is conducive to cavalry - the mouth of the sword.

Due to the presence of the gun mount, not only was the landing port within the distance of the shelling, but also a considerable distance of sea ice was included in it.

If the cannon is fired at the best position, it will definitely give a big fright to the Jiannu cavalry on the ice.

The most important thing is that Huang Chongzhen, after careful observation and accurate calculations, came to a very morale-inspiring conclusion - although the ice is thick, ordinary weapons cannot be broken at all, but it cannot withstand the repeated bombardment of artillery.

What made the soldiers on the island think about it the most was the secret weapons brought by Huang Chongzhen - those thin wires that were difficult to detect with the naked eye after being pulled in the air.
