When the Japanese land in small boats, they will use the power of the tides.

The day is divided into two tides, the early dynasty is at noon, and the evening dynasty is in the son, the Japanese are short of horses, and as the attacker, they will probably choose to attack at noon.

After cutting off Wang Biao and other Japanese people to return the salute, all the salt works near Yancheng were stopped that night, and all the coastal people were moved to the rear.

Most of the men were reluctant to go, and when the old and young masters heard that they were going to fight the Japanese invaders, they picked up hoes and sticks one after another, and wanted to defend the country together with the Yangzhou army!

It's been a long night, a long night.

The sky is slightly bright in the morning.

Horses' hooves and announcements resounded through the barracks:

"The thief ship is close to Longkou Harbor! All troops on alert! All troops on alert! ”

An uproar erupted in the barracks.

Song Che covered his head with a pillow, a place full of men, without a wife to warm the bed, he didn't sleep once in the winter!

"Hey, Brother Jiang, you can't go in, Mr. said, no one is allowed to disturb before the hour!"

"Harm! I'm looking for my brother, where are so many rules! ”

Jiang Yuntian pushed open the door and went straight to Song Che's bed, lifted the futon, trembled all over, and the snow poured down Song Che's body.

It was so cold that Song Che snorted.

"The Japanese are about to attack the city, and you are still sleeping!"

"If the Japanese really come in, you won't break into my tent but go up to the city wall." Song Che dusted off the snow, grabbed the futon, and rewrapped himself.

Jiang Yuntian crossed his waist and looked complaining: "Bao Dayou told me, yesterday you ordered the general in the big tent and asked him to go to an ambush, why didn't you take me?" ”

Song Che complained even more: "What are you panicking about? You are such a fierce general, I naturally have another big responsibility. ”

Jiang Yuntian's eyes lit up, but he didn't ask much, hugged Song Che and smiled: "It's worthy of being a good brother!" ”

"Good brother?"

"Naturally, they are good brothers."

"Then will you help me get the urinal?" Song Che smiled and pointed to the corner.

Jiang Yuntian didn't speak, went straight to get the urinal, pinched his nose and shook his head and sighed.

"How?"

"This spout is so small."

"Fuck you!"

……

The barracks was too noisy to fight for sleep, so Song Che also got up.

The day has just dawned, and the troops are ordered.

There are 22,000 soldiers in Yancheng, divided into 3,000 ambushes, 5,000 beachheads to meet the enemy, and 17,000 people remain, and 3,000 people spontaneously formed a militia, divided on three city walls, of which the north city gate is a fortress, guns, crossbows, cavalry accounts for seventy.

The soldiers prepared mud, rolling wood, stones, and thickened the city gate on the city wall, and Song Che and Jiang Yuntian, Gao Chen, and Yan Gang, the chief of the water division, stood on the city wall, ready and waited at all times.

Every half an hour, the scouts would report back to the army, and there were more than 200 warships of all sizes, all of which were anchored outside Longkou Bay, facing the Huainan army across the sea.

As expected, they were waiting for the tide to rise.

Gradually.

Noon is approaching.

Listen to the Scout Fast Malay again:

"Tall man! The Woko moved! Sure enough, it was a small boat charging on the waves, each boat carrying twenty people, densely packed, wave after wave! ”

"Order General Yu Kang to hold on for two quarters of an hour and then retreat!"

"Yes!"

As long as the beach is stained with blood, the scene is real.

Soon, the sound of explosions sounded from Longkou Port, faintly fighting, and the sea breeze blew with bursts of blood.

Half an hour of waiting seemed like a whole year had passed.

"Da Da Da ......"

It's still the same scout, but it's already stained with blood:

"The Japanese will be small boats and temporary docks, for the big ships to dock, more than 30,000 people rushed to the beach, General Kang led the army to bravely block, accidentally hit three arrows, our army also suffered heavy casualties, is retreating in the direction of Yancheng......"

"Quick! Open the gates! General Yan, you lead 800 light cavalry, come forward to pick up General Kang, be sure to escort him back! Gao Chen ordered urgently.

"The last general commands!"

Yan Gang put on his horse, led 800 cavalry out of Yancheng, and walked away in the snow.

"Mr. Bai, how are you doing now?"

Everyone's eyes were on Song Che.

Why is Song Che not stressed? But if he behaves impatiently, how can he stabilize the morale of the army.

It was a good tactic for the Japanese to use the boats as docks for the big ships to advance and retreat, and they regarded them as a group of snakes and rats, and some of them underestimated the enemy.

"There are many enemies, and it's normal for us to lose the enemy, so don't worry, everything is in my expectation."

"Mr. Bai said so, and we were relieved."

Time was in a hurry, two quarters of an hour later.

The cavalry led the remnants of the front line to retreat to Yancheng, and Kang Han was hit with an arrow in the chest, back, and thigh, but he could still ride a horse, so he should not be fatal.

The front line blocked 5,000 people, and when they withdrew, only 3,000 remained, and more than 2,000 loyal and brave soldiers were buried in Longkou Port.

Soon after the front-line soldiers withdrew to Yancheng, the black and oppressed Japanese army shouted and pressed up. In the front row are the Dongying ronins, who are holding blood-stained swords, strung with heads, and shouting non-stop.

Behind the ronin is a row of leaders on horseback, wisteria-clad generals, and pirates armed with machetes. Nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers, even minions, are covered with armor, and the popularity rate is higher than that of the Huainan army, with spears and spears, strong bows and crossbows, ladders over walls, and doors, and the equipment is much better than imagined.

Where is this still a wolf? It's clearly a regular army!

How can a rabble form an army without adequate financial support?

The army of Japanese invaders stopped advancing a hundred paces away from the city gate, and when they saw the middle-aged man with a machete on his back, he stepped forward and shouted:

"Gao Chen! You toast and don't eat and drink! If you dare to kill the eldest brother of my family, if you open the door and dedicate the city today, and offer your own head, I will only slaughter half of the city, if not, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Gao Chen shouted: "Wu Candle, you colluded with the Dongying thieves and killed and plundered the people of Daliang, you should have been an unforgivable crime, but I am merciful to the Son of Heaven, as long as you are willing to accept Zhao'an, I will exempt you-"

"Dog officer looks at the arrow!"

But before Gao Chen finished speaking, Wu Candle pulled out an arrow and shot it, straight to Gao Chen's throat!

At the last moment.

Jiang Yuntian stretched out his hand and gently clamped it, half an inch away from Gao Chen's throat, sandwiching the flying arrow between his fingers. He sighed, "Lord Gao, it's too naïve for you to train a hungry wolf to be a dog to take care of your home, right?" ”

Gao Chen was sweating profusely, and the two generals hurriedly stopped him behind him, and the court officials were killed by the Japanese before they left the division, and the joke was big.

"This arrow is just a dismount, I only give you half an hour to release my second brother Wang Li, and then open the city gate to surrender, and I will slaughter this city after the expiration date!"

Wu Zhu put away his bow and arrows and was about to retreat.

"Hey! Reckless man! ”

Song Che put away the binoculars and shouted, "Where is your eldest brother Wang Zhi?" ”

Wang Zhi used to be a supervisor in Ciyin Temple, a bald boiled egg in his fifties, Song Che carefully looked at it with a telescope, and there was no him among several horseback leaders in the army.

Wu Candle stared at Song Che fixedly, and pointed at it and scolded:

"What kind of bird are you, you don't even dare to show your true face, and you dare to ask my eldest brother?"
