Such a fierce weapon, even the heavy armor of Halsa, was like a piece of paper, and it was really—a warrior who had been in battle for a long time, but did not even have a chance to fight, and died so miserably.

Dai Shan waved his hand weakly and looked away, really not wanting to take another look.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and Dai Shan didn't even want to turn his head, and ordered in a deep voice: "Stop the attack, retreat and set up camp." ”

After a moment of silence, Yue Zhi's voice rang out, "Yes, obey the general's order." ”

Once again, they repelled Jiannu's attack, and generals such as Zhang Pan, Kong Youde, and Zhu Changguo seized the time to adjust the arrangement, withdrew some of the men and horses, and replaced them with new new forces.

Behind this simple line of defense, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are stepping up construction, wide trenches, dense wooden piles, and a stronger defense line has taken shape.

And every 30 meters, there is a huge mound of earth, five or six meters high, after tamping, artillery will be erected to bombard the enemy from a high position.

Zhang Zhuzi was lame on one foot, but he didn't walk slowly. After patrolling and inspecting, I saw a familiar figure.

After hesitating for a moment, he jumped off the trench, snatched the shovel from Yingzi's hand, and said, "Go and drink a bowl of hot porridge and come again." ”

Yingzi wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, smiled, and was not polite, turned around and climbed up, and walked towards the steaming cauldron not far away.

The white rice in the cauldron is tumbling, mixed with fish and dried vegetables, and the aroma is tempting.

"Come on, girl." An old man smiled and picked up a big spoon and served Yingzi a thick bowl.

Yingzi thanked him, held the bowl in both hands, and walked to the ditch next to him to sit down. There was a hot feeling in her hands, and a mixed aroma in her nose, and she couldn't help but look up again.

As long as the slaves are dismissed, this is a new home, and they can also be allocated land to cultivate!

The people on the island knew the news, and their desire for land made many Liao people who were already digging in the soil very excited.

Compared with the hope in the future, the rice in front of me and the few liters of rice don't seem to be too important.

Yingzi didn't know if the island was better or the land was better.

A girl's family, the most important thing is safety. Eating the porridge slowly, the girl became cranky and tangled again.

A sturdy girl came over with a grin, said hello, and sat next to Yingzi. Her name is Ah Tao, and she and Yingzi are the best playmates.

"It's like thunder for half a day, and I still feel a little frightened!" said so, but Ah Tao didn't have much of a frightened expression on her face, and the porridge was drunk happily.

Now I really don't have much fear, but the strength of the Ming army is very strong.

In addition to the original Dongjiang Two Associations and Dengzhen One Association, the officers and soldiers of Liaozhen led by He Kegang who landed and harassed did not confront the counterattacking Jiannu, but also came to the sea to help.

There are more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, which is the same as the strength of Jiannu, but they have positions to rely on and sharp firearms in hand. They took turns defending on a ten-mile-long defensive line and dealt a heavy blow to the attacking Jiannu.

At the same time, the military and civilians stepped up the construction of the second and third lines of defense to form a defense in depth.

Yingzi giggled and quipped, "Are you so daring?" Look at this appetite is not like it! ”

Ah Tao took the bowl and said seriously: "Look, people have to eat two more bowls to suppress the shock!" After saying that, even I couldn't help laughing.

Yingzi laughed for a while and asked, "Is the family ready, do you want to move here?" ”

Ah Tao nodded and said, "Didn't the official say that he would give out ten acres of land, my father said that there is land to plant, and he is down-to-earth." ”

Yingzi thought for a moment and said, "But the island should be safer, right?" Jiannu can make people stop, come to attack from time to time, and even sleep is not stable. ”

Ah Tao lowered her eyes and said slowly: "It's not as serious as you think." There are so many officers and soldiers, they should be able to stop it. ”

Seeing that Ah Tao was not very sure, Yingzi no longer said gloomy words, and said with a smile: "I heard that the official wants to issue guns to the people, that kind of very powerful musket." When Jiannu came, he beat them with muskets. ”

Ah Tao pursed her lips and laughed, and said, "Brother Zhang told you that?" We don't know about this. ”

Yingzi pretended not to understand, got up and shook the empty bowl, and said, "The porridge is too thick, let's have a thin bowl to quench your thirst." ”

"Wait a minute!" Ah Tao hurriedly ate the leftover porridge into her mouth, screamed vaguely, and quickly caught up with her good sister.

…………………

The waves swelled gently, flooding the beach in waves, and then quietly receded.

The boat moved unhurriedly into the distance, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared from the sight of Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai.

"Gutsless rats." Mang Gurtai spewed white mist in his mouth, and scolded unwillingly and disdainfully.

Mao Wenlong led the Central Association to attack and disturb, and took thousands of Liao people by boat, so that the Jiannu who came to fight were empty.

Not to mention that the China Association has just been established, it is a veteran corps, and Captain Mao does not have the idea of being tough with Jiannu.

The main battlefield is Lushun, which is Jinzhou; The secondary battlefield is the rear of Houjin, which is Mao Chenglu's task force. He and Chen Jisheng are just planning and containing, and then they take the China Association out for a long time.

But Jiannu didn't know the truth in it, and he still sent two banners to Mao Wenlong's handsome banner.

Huang Taiji was not as angry as Mang Gurtai, he frowned slightly, pondering the true intention of the Ming army.

Could it be that Daikin was anticipating that Daikin would attack in the winter and strike first? To disrupt the deployment of our army, consume the supplies of our army, weaken or stop the winter offensive of our army?

Or is it just a simple attack that doesn't have much strategic purpose?

Huang Taiji is not sure, although from the current point of view, his own losses are not large. But it was indeed mobilized, and the food and grass materials were also consumed, which would also have an impact on the winter offensive.

"Old eight, what are you thinking?" Mang Gurtai glanced at Huang Taiji and asked, "Did you not catch Mao Wenlong, and you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled, shook his head and said, "Mao Wenlong is cunning and abnormal, and it is normal that he can't catch it." I'm thinking, what does the Ming army want to do when it launches like this? ”

Mang Gurtai blinked his big eyes and said, "Grab a handful and run, it's just a poor toss, what other purpose can there be?" ”

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's such a poor toss, it's not easy to deal with." In the long run, it's enough of a headache. ”

Mang Gurtai scratched his face, nodded in agreement: "If you are not afraid of fighting, you are afraid that you will not be able to fight." Mao Wenlong is a fly and a mosquito, buzzing and annoying. ”

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Third brother, send someone to report to Father Khan urgently, let's wait for the order!" ”

The two of them reined in and returned, Huang Taiji didn't show it on his face, but he was still thinking in his heart, speculating about the true purpose of the Ming army.
