Chapter 1320 Xuzhou is reliable

Many soldiers who have just been drafted into the army are quite nervous, and those veterans are not that strong. Although they are determined to take revenge, they are still the defeated generals. They were defeated that day and fled all the way. Seeing that

The ferocious Tatars recalled the horror of that day.

Bird cannons, three-eyed cannons, and quick guns opened fire one after another, and there was even a squatting cannon. But the fire was too early, causing splashes of water on the sea. The Jurchen soldiers who rushed to the front held up their shields to cover themselves, and they had no shields.

They directly used their arms to block their faces. They had experienced a lot of Ming army firearms. Except for the artillery that fired to kill people, their other power was very limited. Moreover, these Ming army soldiers liked to fire in advance, which was no surprise to Dongjiang Town.

After a round of firing, many of those holding fast guns and three-eyed guns simply dropped their firearms and took out their swords and guns. Compared to the firearms in their hands, they still believed more in hand-to-hand combat. What really caused damage to the Jurchens were bows and arrows.

Dongjiang Town originally didn’t store much bows and arrows, but after the Xuzhou trade, it bought a lot from Goryeo. The quality of Goryeo bows and arrows is considered excellent, but the shortcoming of Dongjiang Town is the shortage of archers. Warriors who can shoot bows and arrows are often

They are the personal servants of military commanders, or at worst the backbone of the army. They either move quickly, or are taken in by someone, or even receive better treatment after surrendering. Naturally, they will not come to the cold and dangerous Phi Island.

If there were as many archers as firearms, all the Jurchen soldiers rushing to the shore would be shot to death. But now, most of the people still rushed forward, and less than a quarter of the firearms opened fire. In these twenty or so steps

In terms of distance, there was some real damage. Now it was a land battle. The Jurchen soldiers and horses of Jianzhou were never afraid of the Ming Dynasty troops in land battles.

The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers came roaring to kill, and the Dongjiang Town soldiers guarding the shore also shouted to meet them. The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers were stronger than these people from Dongjiang Town in both training and actual combat. After they came ashore, they formed a small team of several people.

Then the team gathers together again, with the highest-ranking assistant leader giving orders, and some carrying bows and arrows on their backs to shoot arrows. A short period of seawater immersion will not affect the performance of the bows and arrows.

The Jurchens have big bows and heavy arrows. If they are hit by arrows, even non-vital places will cause a lot of bleeding. Some of the Pidao soldiers rushing in front were directly hit by arrows and died, and some fell down after being shot only a few steps away.

Falling to the ground, the companions did not evade or dodge, but continued to move forward shouting for kill. In such a bloody battle on the battlefield, each other had only one purpose, and that was to kill more enemies.

But even if the Dongjiang soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, they still had to crawl forward even if they were not dead for a while. Even if they were constantly trampled by their companions, they must drag a Tatar to die before they died, even if they took one bite.

Being slashed by a Jurchen soldier's sword in Jianzhou, he actually grabbed the blade and let his companions kill him. If his own weapon was cut off by the opponent, he would throw himself at him and let his companions kill him and the Tatar who was holding him.

Their combat skills were not as good as theirs, their strength was not as good as theirs, and their equipment was far inferior to theirs. Relying on this belief that they would die, the two sides fought bloody battles on the beach, with the beach and seawater being dyed red.

The battle was brutal, and the sound of killing was loud. Rafts kept approaching, and the Jurchen soldiers on them kept jumping off, and the rafts rowed forward as much as possible. The Jurchen soldiers on the rafts stretched their bows and nocked arrows, and threw the arrows to the shore to fight.

Among the crowd, they may not be perfect marksmen, but their accuracy is probably good, and they kill more and more Ming troops in Dongjiang Town.

After the initial head-on confrontation, the Jianzhou Jurchens still gained a foothold on the beach and gathered three Niulu, and the scattered Eight Banners soldiers kept coming closer. Once the Jurchen army was formed, it would not be suppressed by the Dongjiang Town official army.

, the weapons are also too far apart. When a sword collides with a sword, the sword in Dongjiang Town will be cut and bent, a spear will suddenly fall when thrust out, and a bow string will break.

Such destruction is not accidental, but the weapons of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers did not have such a situation. On the battlefield, the quality of the weapons is a matter of life and death. This alone begins to widen the gap. If it were not for the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers' clothes being soaked in sea water,

If it is wet, the movement will be hindered, and this advantage will be extended.

However, Dongjiang Town has a strength of nearly a thousand people. The steel swords, spears, and bows and arrows in their hands are no worse than the Jurchen equipment. Moreover, these thousand people are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield. If there is no way to withstand it, these thousand people will

Rushing there, the Jianzhou Jurchens' offensive was immediately contained. Among the thousands of people, twenty of them wore iron armor that covered their whole bodies. They were the best of the elite. The Jianzhou Jurchens could cut with swords, spears, stabs, and arrows.

If you focus on the armor, you won't be able to hurt anyone.

With the sudden advance of these twenty people, all the Niu Lu who had just gathered were scattered. At this moment, a horn sounded on the sea. The sound? It was not too obvious, because it sounded on the land side. At this moment, the battle on the sea had already begun.

With the result, Jianzhou Jurchen's rafts were finally not good at sea battles. Dongjiang Town's fleet began to cross the sea, and the rafts from land could not keep up.

Thousands of backbones from Dongjiang Town have already engaged the Jianzhou Jurchens who came ashore. In the eyes of the Ming army, the Jurchen soldiers who were not afraid of death were also afraid of death. They were blocked by people on the beach and were pressed back little by little, while at sea

The escape route was about to be blocked, and if the fight continued like this, it would be a certain death. No one was afraid of fighting hard, but who wanted to die in vain? Some people started to turn around and ran into the sea to climb onto the raft.

One person did this, two people did this, more and more Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers turned around and fled, and the offensive in Dongjiang Town became more and more effective. It did not last long, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses who came ashore finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The front collapsed. At this time, there were rafts rowing away on the sea, and the remaining people could only swim.

"Spare your life! I was intimidated by the Tatars when I did this. I am also a Han, and I am a member of the Tieling Guard!" Seeing that they could not escape, a Jurchen soldier from Jianzhou knelt down and cried and begged for mercy, speaking in Liaodong military dialect.

This is the common Mandarin in Liao Town.

This kind of begging for mercy did not cause any surprises, but no one showed mercy. For these traitors who were Han people but surrendered and became traitors, everyone was gnashing their teeth in hatred. They didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and they chopped them into pieces with knives.

Everyone cursed the mud, and the killings at sea were even more hearty. The raft was knocked over, and spears were stabbed from the boat. There was no possibility of swimming back.

The battlefield finally became quiet. No new raft teams emerged from the Jurchen camp on the other side. Only corpses and burning wreckage were left on the sea. This battle was won by Dongjiang Town. After realizing this, on the north shore of Pi Island

Wild shouts broke out, everyone laughed and cried, some yelled at the other side, even though they knew the other party couldn't hear, while others calmed down and started to salvage the bodies from the sea.

There were wild shouts and ecstatic celebrations below, but there was no excitement where Mao Wenlong was. The young military attachés outside all had happy looks on their faces, but seeing the gloomy looks of the leaders, they all became serious consciously. By this time

, Mao Wenlong, Li Jiucheng and others had already put on their armor and kept their weapons at hand. Chen Jisheng went to the island to prepare for the battle with the Jianzhou Jurchens. There was no room for ambiguity. From the defeat in Liao Town to the last gasp on Pi Island, they had seen

The Jianzhou women are really powerful and terrifying.

"The weapons allocated by the imperial court are all junk. They are not as good as the ones we bought from the Koreans."

"During the Saarhu period, Du Dadan's helmet was pierced by a bow and arrow. There is nothing useful in the imperial arsenal. We have too few blacksmiths here. Even if we make it ourselves, it is better than the imperial arsenal."

Listening to the discussions around him, Mao Wenlong's face was as dark as water, and he said in a dull voice: "The weapons Xuzhou sold and lent to us are all good goods, and they are sharp to use. The twenty sets of armors are not bad either. Not these, we need them on the shore today."

If you are in big trouble, Li Jiu, go to Yunshan Bank with your money and buy them with your money. If you don’t give them firearms, just buy their swords and guns. You don’t have to worry about so much at this time!”

I thought that relying on the advantage of the navy, the Jurchen soldiers and horses in Jianzhou would suffer heavy losses at sea, but they were washed ashore. If the backbone of Dongjiang Town had not had high-quality weapons, this battle would have been in big trouble.

It's only past noon, and the distance between the coast and the land is really not an obstacle. Dongjiang Town must be careful now and not be careless.

Li Jiucheng over there also knew the importance. After hearing the order, he quickly agreed and led his people there quickly. A general came down below to report. Mao Wenlong's face became even more gloomy and he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "These bastards, in the official position

How come we didn’t see them so brave when we were in the army? Why don’t you give up your life if you work for the Tatars?”

The Jianzhou Jurchen army quickly swept through Liao Town. Some people rose up to fight and rioted. After the failure, they died or fled. The remnants went to western Liaoning or came to Pidao. Some people endured silently, and it was better to die than to live. For the sake of themselves and their families, some people directly

They surrendered to the Jianzhou Jurchens, gave advice to the Jianzhou Jurchens, and charged into battle. There were scholars who passed the imperial examinations, and there were generals who were paid by the Ming Dynasty.

When those officers and soldiers of Liao Town who surrendered to Jianzhou Jurchen were in Liao Town, they retreated from the battle and ran away if they could. However, after the surrender, their cowardice was completely wiped out.

Soldiers and civilians encountered them many times. At first, they thought these people were shameless and unscrupulous. However, after more experiences, they realized that this was not the case. This was hard to figure out.

Unlike when Liu Xingzhi went to act before, when Li Jiucheng came to Yunshan Xingbao Village with his soldiers, he first removed the saber from his waist, then led the guards to retreat, and strode forward with his hands raised high. He was more than ten paces away.

At this time, he knelt down and said loudly: "Zhao Yingzheng, Dongjiang Town is in crisis. Please consider the past friendship and the dangers of death and coldness, and show mercy and support!"

This action made everyone who followed the Dongjiang Town officers and soldiers angry. Li Jiucheng discovered that he had brought many relatives and friends to Pi Island. Because he was older and generous and righteous, many people had a good impression of him. Even such people had a good impression of him.

Xuzhou knelt down. Xuzhou was bullying others to such an extent that everyone could only see that they were wronged, but could not remember how many times they reached out to devour the other party.
