CHAPTER XXXV
Li Xiao stood on the top of the mountain and constantly commanded the artillery position, and Li Hu kept setting off fireworks on the side. Wherever there is the sound of a mine exploding, fireworks will shoot wherever it goes. Then the faint light came, and Li Xiao was always able to quickly calculate the distance to land on the enemy.
After the firing of the crews was announced, the mortar shells only needed one or two salvos to destroy the small sampan of the landing. Li Xiao's method is very smart, the big ship of 3,000 materials on the dock is burning, and other ships can't rely on it at all. If you want to land on the island, you can only use small sampans to constantly transport people up. As long as these sampans are blown up, the enemy on the sea will never be able to land again. How many people can only stare at sea.
As long as you wait until dawn, it is the time for the Phi Dao naval army to attack.
When he felt that there were fewer and fewer small sampans, Li Xiao decisively stopped bombarding the small sampans. A bad thought came to his mind.
"Lord Belle, our boats have almost been blown up. Now there are only a dozen dinghys available, what to do? Ao Bai knelt down on one knee in front of Huang Taiji, and his cotton armor had been splashed wet by the navy. Even if he was strong, he was still shivering from the cold!
"That's okay too!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and shouted. Never since his father, Nurhachi, became Khan, had fought such a battle. This time he brought all the elites of the Zhengbai Flag, but he was trapped at sea because he didn't have a dinghy. This kind of strength is very uncomfortable, and Huang Taiji can't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly over to fight to the death with that kid named Li Xiao.
"Huh!" Ao Bai roared, and his braids were rolled around his neck. With a machete, he was the first to get into the dinghy. Ao Bai is just 20 years old this year, but he is already known as the first warrior of the white flag. In the first battle of Shenyang, He Shixian, the commander of the Ao Bai Formation, made great contributions. Nurhachi personally conferred the title of loyal and brave Baturu! At a young age, because of his military exploits, he was promoted to Gushan Ezhen.
This time to attack Phi Dao, but Nurhachi gave a death order. Be sure to pull out the thorn nailed to the back of Houjin!
If Zhenjiangbao and Jinzhou were just petty fights, and the plan to expedition to Korea was ruined twice, Nurhachi had already made this force on Phi Dao take seriously. These people are not a bed bug, but blood-sucking leeches. If you don't get rid of them quickly, maybe one day they will grow something.
Nurhachi instinctively decided that the small force of Phi Dao could become the end of his great cause of dominating the world. While their wings are not yet full, it is better to solve it as soon as possible.
This time, Nurhachi not only sent the scheming Huang Taiji, but also bought off the trust of Yoshikawa, the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom. Later, Jin immediately won the world, and the navy was still at the stage of fishing boats. If you want to land on Phi Island, you can only say that you have more than enough heart but not enough strength.
With the help of the Japanese people, it was different, and Houjin had the support of sea power, so it was still a little difficult to land in Daming. But landing on Phi Island, which is not far from the mainland, is still more than enough.
After thousands of calculations, those who did not count the inside of the Phi Island were actually prepared. The dinghy was blown up, and now only a dozen of them are usable. Huang Taiji is now strong and has nowhere to go, so depressed that he doesn't want to.
But even if I go back to the fishing boat now, the daylily will be cold when the fishing boat arrives. Huang Taiji can only be in a hurry, and there is nothing he can do.
Especially when he saw the burning ship on the dock, Huang Taiji's heart was about to twitch. There are 600 elites with a white flag, and the two best bulls are on the ship. The sea breeze blows on the face like a knife. You don't have to think about it to know what will happen to those soldiers who fall into the water.
A whole six hundred elites, not burned to death on the ship. Even if they fall into the sea and freeze to death, those who go ashore will be named one by one by muskets. It is estimated that before dawn, few of these 600 people will survive.
Ao Bai rushed to the southern coast with a full of fifteen boats. Because people have already been here, the mines have been trampled on. Jump off the dinghy and step into the icy water with both feet. Ao Bai immediately felt as if there were thousands of steel needles piercing his feet, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, rush! ”
After saying that, he was the first to rush forward brandishing a machete.
There was no one on the beach, but Aobai's loud voice attracted a series of fireworks.
More than 100 men were nowhere to hide under the light of the fireworks. Before Li Xiao could mobilize mortar fire, the platoon guns on the mountainside rang out.
The condescending shooting made the gunners not feel the slightest danger. The flintlock pistol can be aimed and shot calmly, and the accuracy is greatly improved. Just a round of guns, more than 20 people fell around Aobai. This surprised Ao Bai, and Jue Luo Baishan said that the firearms of this Ming army were very sharp. At that time, I thought that Jue Luo Baishan was making excuses for his failure, but now I know that the firearms of the Ming army are really powerful.
In the past, the real effective killing distance of the Ming army's firearms was only within 100 steps. But the mountainside in front of him was almost two hundred steps away, and according to previous experience, the Ming army's firearms at this distance were at most audible.
Many times the Ming army was fighting with guns and cannons, but the real losses on the Houjin side were almost none. So Ao Bai was not very afraid of the firearms of the Ming army, who would have thought that the Ming army he encountered today would be so powerful.
A bullet grazed Aobai's forehead, and a cut was made on his scalp. Ao Bai felt very painful, but when he touched his hand, there was not much blood. It's just that I smell a smell of burnt pig hair in my nostrils!
"My lord, no! We're all going to die like this! The subordinates desperately pulled Aobai and didn't let Aobai continue to impact.
"Get out! If you don't let go, don't ask for your claws, pick up the shield and go to Lao Tzu. Ao Bai roared angrily and raised a heavy shield in front of him.
This type of shield is idiosyncratic, and the shield is all made of strong iron pear wood. The two sides of the shield were also deliberately reinforced with iron sheets. In previous tests, the firearms of the Ming army could not penetrate this shield at a distance of 80 paces.
However, although the shield is powerful, the price is too heavy. Even a guy like Ao Bai, who is born with divine powers, feels a little difficult to hold in his hand.
"Bang!" A bullet hit the shield, sending fragments of the shield flying. However, the bullet did not pass through the shield, which made Aobai overjoyed. Sure enough, this shield had a good protective effect on the bullets of the Ming army.
"Brothers, the firearms of the Ming army can't penetrate our shields, come on!" Ao Bai raised the shield in his hand and howled and rushed to the rocks at the foot of the mountain.
Ao Bai knew in his heart that he couldn't use more than 100 people to come up. The only way to do this is to go back and bring more people. The most important thing now is to close the distance with the musketeers, and as long as they are within range of the bow and arrows, they can open up a beachhead for the following team.
As long as enough people are gathered, you can rush up the hill and wipe out those damned Ming musketeers. The real knife and the real gun are hard, who are the Jurchens afraid of.
The strange thing is that the Ming army did not shoot artillery, but the Ming army on the mountainside kept firing guns. This made Ao Bai very happy, and it seemed that the Ming army had no more shells.
Hiding under the rocks, Ao Bai finally did not have to worry about being hit by bullets. Although the bullet is powerful, it will not turn a corner after all. The rock debris flew overhead, but there was no way to hurt the person hiding behind the rock.
Soon the gunfire on Phi Island became sparse, and only the southern part of the beach still had Tartar soldiers. Huang Taiji knew about the existence of this place and was very excited. His judgment was the same as Aobai's, that is, the Ming army had no ammunition. As long as enough people rush up to the beachhead, they can turn the defeat in one fell swoop. Ao Bai is worthy of being loyal and brave Baturu, and he still held a beachhead under such difficult conditions.
Desperately urging the small sampan to row quickly, it can be transported more than 100 people once. Now Huang Taiji can't wait to move the entire Zhengbai flag to that small island!
One trip, two trips! When the sky dawned, there were more than 500 people hiding behind the rocks.
"Big brother, why don't you open fire. More and more Tartars are coming up! Li Hu saw more and more Tartar soldiers landing on the island, and he became a little anxious.
"Silly boy! Just killing such a few people, the Tartars can dispel the idea of attacking us. Let him carry people up, but to see how many of them there are. Ao Ye and Man Ye have blocked both sides, as long as there are more people, we will close the net. When the time comes, no matter how many people there are, there will not be enough shells to blow up. Li Xiao pointed to the cannonballs behind him, which were hundreds of shells. Even if a shell kills a person, these shells are enough.
"Uh......!" Li Hu finally understood that this big brother was really bad enough. Ao Canghai and Man Gui led people to block the beachheads on both sides, and these people couldn't run back even if they wanted to. There were only a dozen sampans, and it was impossible to transport more than 500 people back at once anyway.
The sky slowly brightened, and the fiery red morning sun poked its head out of the sea.
Ao Bai finally understood his situation, and there were Ming army musketeers on the mountainside. Both sides were also blocked by the musketeers of the Ming army, and they were like fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board. It's ridiculous that he can't see the situation clearly in the dark, and he actually sent someone back to tell Lord Belle to send more people over. In this case, no matter how many people are sent, they will also be sent to death.
Han people, it's not a fucking thing.
No way! It can't go on like this, the more people who land on the island, the greater the loss of the white flag.
Looking behind him, his subordinates who were almost lying on the ground. Ao Bai gritted his teeth and raised the shield in his hand again.
"Brothers, go up! rushed up the hill and captured Mao Wenlong alive. ”
Li Xiao made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Ao Bai to have this determination. Seeing more than 500 people rushing up with "whoops" and "whoops", Li Xiao reluctantly ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”
Behind him, there was a series of cannon shots, and columns of smoke immediately rose in the middle of the charging team. Countless shrapnel, flying in the crowd!
