Chapter 186(1/2)

The surroundings of Jinzhou City were eerily quiet. After two consecutive days of hustle and bustle, this eerie silence made people a little uncomfortable.

All the soldiers did not take the time to sleep, but lay on the cold city top, trying hard to look into the dark place. Although they could not see anything, they could not help but look.

Everyone was unsure, as the warships at sea had already left. Even if they had not left, they would still be confused as to which was the Ming army and which was the Tatar soldiers.

Without the support of sea artillery fire, everyone knows that Jinzhou City will be in danger tonight.

But now there was suddenly no movement, and the fireworks shot into the sky as if they were free. The moment the fireworks exploded, not a single Tatar soldier could be seen.

"The Tatar soldiers withdrew?" Zu Dashou himself felt that this was unreasonable.

"Be careful, this is a trick to lure the enemy!" Even if Yuan Chonghuan was killed, he didn't believe it, so the Tatar soldiers just withdrew. Since the army was launched, from Fushun to Shenyang and Liaoyang, the Tatar soldiers were invincible at every stop, including Jinzhou. The city has been destroyed.

As long as last night's tactics are repeated, the walls on all four sides will not be able to be defended. If the southern city wall alone is lost, Jinzhou will have half its life left. If all four walls are lost, it will be a fool's errand.

They stared fearfully for a long time, fearing that the Tatar soldiers would suddenly touch the city. All the fireworks in stock were distributed to various city walls. After a while, one was fired, and everyone looked at it with wide eyes. Is anyone digging into the wall?

The migrant worker brothers who had been deceived once again fought bravely. This time they were not used as cannon fodder, but to plug the huge gaps in Nancheng.

The method is very simple, fill the wooden board with straw and sprinkle some soil. Then pour water on it vigorously, pouring buckets of water down. The gap will become an ice wall.

Not to mention climbing this wall, it is difficult to even stand on it. Now everyone thinks that it would be better if it was damn colder. Compared with surviving, suffering from the cold is really not worth mentioning, and you can't freeze to death anyway.

When it was midnight, the lights suddenly turned on on the pier. Fireworks exploded one after another in the air, and then many bonfires were lit on the pier.

"I said it was a scam!" Yuan Chonghuan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at the dock and jumping up.

"There are no fireworks for the Tatar soldiers! Why do I look at that boat? It looks like the boat of the Commander-in-Chief." Zu Dashou looked at it carefully for a long time and suddenly became excited.

"It's really the Commander-in-Chief!" Now it was Yuan Chonghuan's turn.

When Yuan Chonghuan was so excited that he howled like a wolf, Ao Canghai also roared loudly.

"Set off fireworks, fucking fireworks."

He knew that the Tatars would attack tonight or during the day tomorrow. He had been preparing for several days and was waiting for the Tatar soldiers to arrive.

Mr. Ao even felt a little impatient!

The first thing to explode was a landmine. Can landmines be buried on frozen sea ice?

Although landmines cannot be buried, they can be placed on the ice. As long as they are wrapped in a layer of white cloth, the huge mines will look like a piece of ice. Anyone can step on them if they are not careful.

This kick may be the last kick in this life, because the person who steps on it has absolutely no way of inserting a knife into his boot. The huge explosive force can lift the person directly.

Countless iron nails and steel balls are simply a nightmare for those around you.

When the first landmine explosion sounded, excited Ao Canghai immediately ordered the fireworks to be lit.

Although he was mentally prepared, Ao Canghai was still startled when he saw the densely packed Tatar soldiers under the fireworks.

The first wave of impact was such a huge investment. It was obvious that Nurhaci was determined to win.

"Mortar, fire!" The shooting points have been calibrated a long time ago, so there is no need to calculate if you are blindly shooting. Just adjust the angle and hit it downwards!

I have to say that this ice is really solid. When the shells hit the ice, they actually failed to break the ice. However, after many shells landed, they bounced before exploding. Invisibly, the shrapnel was distributed wider. The killing power was naturally only

The bigger.

Hauge took the lead with the Zhengbai flag. Even if he took the whole Zhengbai flag today, he still had to get his father out.

I don't know which unlucky guy stepped on the landmine, but before Haug could react, countless shells fell from the sky, sparks and shrapnel danced together, and Shura and Impermanence were drunk together.

The screams broke out in an instant, and Haug was pinned down by his bodyguard. The Tatars now have some experience in dealing with cannons, that is, the damage they receive will be reduced a lot after lying down.

Fireworks flew into the sky one after another, and the ice in front of Juehua Island was illuminated brightly.

Since the sneak attack has been discovered, let's just change it to a violent attack.

Countless cavalry mobilized their horses and rushed up through the ice and snow. This is not Jinzhou City, and Juehua Island has no city walls to defend.

The iron horseshoes under the war horses are equipped with iron nails. Although they are running on the ice, they rarely slip.

The cavalry came rushing in like a thunderous whirlwind, and the flying mortar shells killed a group of people, but they didn't care. The landmines killed a group of people, but they didn't care either.

I have been holding back my anger under Jinzhou City, and now I need a place to vent. Taking Juehua Island and killing all the people inside should be able to relieve Nurhachi's depressed mood.

Just when they were about to approach Juehua Island, they discovered something they had never seen before.

Wooden piles and barbed wire, this thing is definitely a weapon against cavalry. The wooden piles are frozen on the ice in advance, and when needed, just pull up the barbed wire.

It is difficult for the charging cavalry to stop on the ground, let alone above the ice and snow. The fast charging cavalry dare not rein in their horses. They just hope that the horses under their crotches are good enough to get through these iron wires that do not look thick.

Jump out from inside.

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

The galloping war horse broke through a layer of barbed wire, and the wires were tightly wrapped around the body of the war horse. The sharp iron thorns pierced into the skin, and then were torn by huge force, cutting the skin into small pieces. The pain was irritating.

The horses ran like crazy, and the wooden stakes frozen in the ice were torn off by them.

The second barbed wire fence still failed to stop the war horse, which was driven crazy by pain.

But the crazy war horse suddenly overturned to the ground in front of the third barbed wire fence. Both the war horse and the knight were covered with barbed wire, and the more they struggled, the tighter they became. The screams of the knights and the whine of the war horse were overwhelmed.

The whistling north wind resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Damn it, these bastards are really fierce. They broke three of them in a row, but I prepared eighteen barbed wire fences. If you don't accept it, I'll take your life." Ao Canghai was wearing a cotton coat.

He opened his arms and took out a copper wine flask and took a big sip.

As the distance got closer, volley guns rang out. The bullets penetrated the armor of the Tatar soldiers without mercy. The charging Tatar soldiers fell off their horses like dumplings.

As for the war horses, they were much more powerful than humans. Many war horses were shot three or four times and still ran wildly.

"What's going on?" Ao Canghai put down the wine bottle because he heard something was wrong about the gunfire.

"Master Ao! Some gun barrels have become too small and bullets can't go in." The soldier who reported the news was almost crying. His gun couldn't be used easily. No matter how he poked it with a gun, the bullets just couldn't go in.

"Damn it, it's not good to have something go wrong at any time. Damn it, something will go wrong now." Ao Canghai stamped his feet anxiously.

"Trebuchet, load up the gunpowder bombs and throw them outside. Pick a place with a lot of people and hit it!" He scolded Li Xiao in his heart for unreliable things he was tinkering with, and ordered the trebuchet to fire.

The trebuchet will not become thinner due to thermal expansion and contraction. The rougher and more primitive the thing, the higher the reliability.

This has been well proven on the trebuchet. As long as the hammer is struck, the gunpowder bomb of more than one hundred kilograms can be sent a hundred steps away. In order to pursue power, the gunpowder bomb is too heavy. The trebuchet

The torsion spring can be thrown so far.

If it were on land, the explosive power of a hundred pounds would be enough to create a crater. As long as you ride a horse and hide away, there won't be any problems.

But this is on sea ice, and getting stuck like this could kill you.

The ice under the feet of the war horse could no longer withstand the damage and was bombarded by violent explosions. Large chunks of ice immediately shattered, revealing the dark seawater inside.

Screams and screams sounded at the same time, and the hundreds of Tatar soldiers who rushed at the front all fell into the ice cave. Wearing heavy armor, these people disappeared without even catching a breath.

Even if you are an Olympic swimming champion, you cannot swim in cold ice water wearing armor.

"Damn! Swim over here if you dare." Ao Canghai's voice spread across the battlefield like a night owl, and his thick voice seemed to be louder than the explosion.

It is obviously unrealistic to swim over. With water of this temperature, it will basically be cold if you get in. Not to mention humans, not even horses can carry it.

Nurhachi's eyelids twitched as he stood watching the battle from a distance. Now he regretted coming to Juehua Island. It was unclear whether there were any mountain-like supplies on the island, but Li Yongfang said that the sea here would freeze and there was no city wall on Juehua Island.

These are all things that can be seen with the eyes. In order to launch a sneak attack tonight, Nurhaci brought the most elite Red Bajiala Army and White Bajiala Army of the Eight Banners to the stage.

The Zhengbai flag was responsible for sneak attacks on foot. If exposed, the red and white Bajiala troops behind them would charge together. Nurhaci thought that he could capture Juehua Island with the first charge.

But I didn't expect that there is no city wall on Juehua Island. Instead, there is that annoying barbed wire fence. You can still see the people inside those barbed wires still struggling.

"Ama! That kind of barbed wire fence seems very powerful, and the cavalry can't rush through it. Let's let the red-haired man's cannon try it!" At the critical moment, Daishan was still smart.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let Kui Yi use a cannon to blast away the barbed wire fence. This thing is not the Jinzhou City Wall, let alone he can't blast it open."

"It must be possible!" The reason Dai Shan was so confident was because he had seen a type of artillery shell called a chain bomb at Kui Yi's place, which was specially designed to deal with cavalry.

Use this kind of artillery shell against a barbed wire fence, and the barbed wire fence will be like dregs.

Not long after Daishan left, the artillery pulled by the ox cart climbed onto the ice. At first, he was worried that the artillery was too heavy and would collapse the sea ice. Unexpectedly, the sea ice was quite solid. The ox cart pulled the artillery and walked away.

Up there, you can only hear the "squeaking" sound of the wheels, but the sea ice is no problem at all.

Kui Yi's mental arithmetic was relieved. He had never seen the sea in his hometown in the Netherlands so frozen. Today he finally opened his eyes. Perhaps only the climate in Norway and Denmark can compare with this damn Liaodong.

Compare.

When I thought about the possibility of living here for the rest of my life, Kui Yi felt that his future was dark and that he had completely lost his light.

The artillery is pushed up, and the chain bullet is actually two iron balls connected by an iron cable. After firing, one cannonball will drag the other cannonball and fly out centrifugally.

Usually this thing is used against cavalry or enemy sails. If you are lucky, this thing hits the mast, which can break the mast and paralyze the enemy's warship. This is the first time it has been used against barbed wire.

After the chain bomb was loaded, there was a bang. The chain bomb hit Xuanzi and crashed into the barbed wire fence!

The barbed wire that could tightly entangle the cavalry was broken by chain bullets in one fell swoop, and some wooden stakes were brutally broken by chain bullets. The barbed wire on top flew up after bouncing. I don't know where it landed.

!

"Father, look!" Dai Shan proudly pointed to the torn barbed wire fence.

"Yeah! Not bad! Daishan, you two rush the red flag again." Nurhaci felt relieved when he saw that the barbed wire fence was destroyed. As long as there are not those annoying gadgets, it will not be a problem for the Eight Banners soldiers to rush over.

I originally wanted someone to take a wooden board and cover the hole in the ice. But I didn't expect that within an hour, the sea water would be frozen again. The brave ones got closer and closer step by step until it exploded.
