80 miles away from Phi Island, there is an army of two Tartars advancing at full speed, and this army is still an all-firearm force, and even this one is pulling a full ten thousands of kilograms of general cannons. .
And this army is led by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi. These general artillery will then be used as a weapon for siege to attack Pidao.
After two days and two nights of trekking, they finally arrived at their destination, along the Yalu River in North Korea (crossing the river from here is the closest distance, and other places are separated by the sea).
When I saw the Phi Island on the other side of the river, including the familiar scenery, everyone felt very emotional... You know that they were Mao Wenlong's subordinates, and they have been fighting with Danzi here for several years, but now However, he has to switch his guns to attack his compatriots.
"Don't look, this is fate." At this time, Kong Youde, the oldest of the three, said.
"Hmm—" The other two nodded, and this is their own master...
But at the moment of the battle, Shang Kexi, the youngest, looked around, and said, "Two brothers, have you read the recently issued Daming bulletin?"
When he heard him mention this, both Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had weird faces. This newspaper was their only link to understanding Daming, so how could they not read it? It’s just that the things mentioned this time make them very uncomfortable... because it clearly mentions that there are a few Lord Belle inside, but they are treated as dogs, and they are ready to taste the taste of their wives...
However, this cannot be said in person, Kong Youde just said: "That kind of newspaper is just nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, this fashion is pleasant to hear but is dissatisfied: "Big brother, do you really think that is nonsense? And there are only three of us here, can't you still be honest?"
"Others don’t say it, but I know that guy Hauge must treat us like dogs, and after he accidentally met my wife once, he let it out several times, saying that he wanted to taste it. Damn, does this treat us as human beings? So I said that what the newspaper said is absolutely true!"
Hearing Shang Kexi saying what they were holding in his heart, Kong Youde and the others could only be silent. They also had this feeling, but what else could they do? They were all on the thief ship and couldn't get off anymore!
So in the end, Kong Youde could only sigh: "Some Belle does not do very well, but in general, the emperor treats us quite well, and this time he is going to give us a prince! So we still have to do our best. Return him! Just like this time, we must capture Phi Island and prove it to the master!"
After listening to Geng Zhongming Kexi, he was silent, and there was still a sad color in his eyes, but just as Kong Youde said, now the three of them have been on the thief ship, killing too many compatriots, and can't look back anymore. , And what they can do now is to go one way to the end, try to please the master...
So next, they made preparations for the offensive. First, they lined up the cannons of the generals along the shore, pointed their guns at the Ming army city on the island, and then went to search for ships on the crossing river.
There are still a lot of boats on the Yalu River. Of course, they are all kind of small grasshopper boats for fishing, that is, the kind of boat that can hold up to seven or eight people on each boat. The big ship, but the ants killed the elephants. When these two tarts collected hundreds of small boats and prepared to transport soldiers across the Yalu River, the situation began to become unfavorable for the defenders on the island...
Phi Island, Tuweizi City.
Tuweizi City is the largest city on Phi Island, and the only city. The entire city covers an area of three miles. There are nearly 10,000 refugees inhabited at ordinary times, that is, refugees who have escaped from the land under the rule of Tarzi, but there are only three garrisons. Thousands, when Mao Wenlong was here, there was a permanent army of 10,000, but now, the rebellious rebellion is not as good as before.
Including this time, the two generals Chen Hongfan, Shen Shikui, and Danzi were defeated and forced to retreat to Shicheng Island. Now Phi Island is left with Lieutenant General Jin Riguan and Guerrilla General Chu Jigong. There are only 3,000 soldiers under his hand. Most of them are old and weak, but there are 8000 people who came to attack this time! Moreover, the rebels who are familiar with the situation on Phi Island, the situation is very worrying!
The book kiosk that the book friends used before has been hung up, and now they are basically using \Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\.
"General Chu, is our army ready?" At this time, the veteran Jin Riguan was making formations on the bank of the Yalu River. After all, he was attacking halfway through. This is common sense among military strategists.
At this time, Chu Jigong, a guerrilla under his command, also came to report: "Qizijunmen, they are all ready." They have already been along the shore, laying out a formation of 3,000 people, just waiting for the Erdanzi to cross the river. , Just half-cross and strike!
But despite this, the faces of both people are very heavy, because the situation is obvious... The gap between the enemy and the enemy is huge! They originally followed General Chen Hongfan, but after the defeat, the morale of the army dropped a lot! Then they, as the troops behind the palace, actually ended up very clearly.
But even so, the veteran Jin Riguan is still loyal to the country. In his words, he should serve the country when he dies and sacrifice his life for the country, so what a shame!
And seeing the dignified deputy commander so ignorant of life and death, even though the soldiers under his men knew that the ending was horrible, they still showed resoluteness on their faces... Most of these soldiers were born in Liao and enjoyed the old age. The slave's three-light policy, ancestors and ancestors have had a blood feud with Danzi for generations! So even if you are in a desperate situation now, one by one still regards death as home!
Of course, the veteran Jin Riguan has fought a lifetime battle, and he still has some strategies. He has ambushed manpower where the enemy may be landing, and he has sent the strongest lineup as much as possible. Of course, his equipment is not as good as Xuan. Army A is so powerful, most of which are just old bows and spears, and the rest is just some old three-eyed guns.
As the defender of the Phi Island, he has always been a role that his grandmother does not care for his uncle. In addition, if there is a disaster like today, how can the court have the money to replace them with weapons, but even so, these 3,000 soldiers are all ready!
"Report to the army gate, Er Danzi has reached the opposite bank, and began to prepare to cross the river." At this time, the observation post came to report, and it did not exceed the expectations of the veteran Jin Riguan, Er Danzi was really preparing for him. A good place is ready to cross the river.
Only seeing the other side's banners and flags, Jin Riguan sighed silently after the army became strong. There were at least 8,000 people on the other side of the two Tartars. This kind of disparity... let alone if the Er Tarts were defeated, There will be a steady stream of reinforcements, but it is impossible for him to have...
But even so, the old general was already mortal, and he didn't feel scared.
But just as he was preparing to send an order to let the troops launch an attack halfway through the enemy's crossing of the river, there was a rumble of artillery from the other side! And then there was a sharp whistling sound from their heads! This kind of degree that can make people's ears buzzing and painful is obviously the most powerful general cannon!
After all, ordinary small cannons can't hit this far, but for a large general cannon that erodes dozens of miles, it is a piece of cake!
"Ah! Tanzi actually brought the General Cannon!" Listening to the sound of such cannons, the three thousand Ming army was immediately enveloped in gunpowder smoke. Although the artillery of this era does not have much high precision, as long as If you are hit, you will definitely be blasted into a pool of fleshy end!
"Damn it!" After Jin Riguan saw it, his angry eyes were about to split... You know that these great generals guns were all made by the court tightening their belts and spending a lot of money. But now, with Kong Youde After these two Tartars surrendered to Tartars, they turned their guns to deal with them!
"Military gate... Do you still have to stay on the shore?" At this time, the guerrilla general Chu Jigong came to ask for instructions with an uneasy expression. After all, there is no general cannon on the island, so it is very bad that you can't fight back just because you are beaten...
"Let the brethren return to Tuweizi City." Jin Riguan sighed. Originally, he wanted to do his best to kill Er Danzi severely, but now it obviously doesn't work.
After all, this is also very obvious. In fact, there is only a Yalu River between them. The width of the Yalu River is wide and narrow, and the narrowest place is only 50 meters. Although it is better here, it has a width of 400 meters. The general cannon eroded the power of dozens of miles in a single shot, and it was completely under the cover of the opponent. If it does not retreat, it will only cause more and more casualties.
"Haha, those Ming troops have retreated!" Kong Youde and the others who were watching the battle on the shore met. After the Ming troops who were going to ambush them retreated, they were all very happy, and this was their confidence!
You know that they were originally the first all-firearms unit of the Ming Dynasty. They were carefully trained by the court to spend a lot of money and hire Portuguese as instructors, but now... With elite firearms, this is what they dare to come to attack Phi Island. Of reliance.
"Start crossing the river!" Kong Youde was holding a telescope and saw clearly that those Ming troops had already withdrawn, and no one could stop him from crossing the river.
So next, the eight thousand troops immediately prepared to cross the river. You must know that if they are Jurchens, they are generally not accustomed to water. However, Kong Youde's troops were originally stationed on Phi Island for a long time. They are no strangers to water, and this is only the Yalu River. , It’s not a vast ocean, so for a time, it’s a battle for ferry...
Even some larger ships can be equipped with a small gun such as a tiger squat cannon to attack the city at that time, and those too heavy general cannons, although they can’t cross the river, but with its range, At that time, you can also participate in the siege.
"Second brother, do you know who the leader of the Ming army on the other side is this time?" Kong Youde asked at this moment.
"I know, I heard that it is a deputy general under General Chen Hongfan, an old man named Jin Riguan." Shang Kexi replied.
"It turned out to be this old man." Kong Youde frowned. He felt that the battle of Phi Dao would take a little effort, because he had heard of this Jinriguan when he was working under Mao Wenlong before and knew this. The old guy is very loyal to the court, and there is no possibility of surrender. Of course, now the other party is in a desperate situation. If you don't surrender, you will die!
So in the end, apart from the 200 gunners who continued to stay on the other side of Kong Youde to control the general cannon, all the other 8,000 troops boarded Phi Island and began to march towards Tuweizi City.
Phi Island is actually not big, 15 miles long from east to west, 10 miles from north to south, and there is basically no vegetation on the island, the living environment is harsh, and it is unable to conduct covert operations, so the eight thousand troops walked in Haohao for half an hour. After that, he has come to the city of Tuweizi City.
Then, after setting up the battle, Kong Youde ordered someone to go and shout to see if he could persuade the defenders to surrender.
Soon an army officer came to the city gate and began to shout loudly: "Listen, brothers from the Ming army in the city, you are already surrounded by regiments, and no one will come to rescue you, so surrender as soon as possible. Well, good ministers choose the master, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, courtesy and virtuous corporal, will not treat you badly after surrendering."
"Bah!" Jin Riguan was furious when he heard this. This man was clearly a Han, but how could he be so shameless? As for these Erdan troops, they are even the former Da Ming official army that had been replaced by fake ones! But now, I actually turned the gun to hit my own person! What is even more outrageous is that now you still want to persuade yourself? dream!
What a veteran Jin Riguan, there is no nonsense at all, he just opened his bow and set an arrow, and after aiming at that bastard, he shot an arrow in the past! Then that guy hadn't realized that the god of death was coming, and he had been pierced by an arrow in his chest while he was still talking endlessly! Stopped on the spot!
"Good, good!" The Ming army who defended the city saw the master's outstanding arrow skills, and more importantly, after this determination to die, they all applauded... A good man's head can be broken, blood can flow, only the ancestors can't be lost! (End of this chapter)
