"Boom!" Suddenly there was a huge explosion, followed by a series of explosions. The explosions were so dense that it was difficult to hear them several times.

Intense explosions exploded the ice, and large tracts of sea ice cracked. Yue Tuo, who was charging, had no time to rein in his horse, and his body fell. Then he felt as if his whole body was being stabbed by steel needles, and his hands wanted to scratch.

What? But I couldn't catch anything. I opened my mouth to call for help, but the salty sea water immediately poured into my mouth.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Ao Canghai let out a hearty howl.

On the sea that had not yet frozen, Li Xiu took action. Twenty cannons fired together, and large chunks of sea ice were blown apart. The impact point of the artillery was very close, causing a large and neat hole to be blown up in the sea ice.

This opening seemed like the devil's big mouth, mercilessly devouring Hou Jin's cavalry.

It is impossible to rein in the galloping horses on the ice in time. Seeing countless Houjin cavalry falling into the ice holes one after another, Daishan felt that his eyesight went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.

"Brothers, kill these bastards. The Tatar soldiers have no backup and they can't get through." Ao Canghai roared, picked up his machete and rushed to the place where the battle was fiercest.

Shuotuo brought about two hundred red flag cavalrymen who rushed in. These people were so powerful that they were so powerful. Many of them had their arms and legs broken, but they were still waving their weapons and fighting endlessly. These people did not look like human beings, but more like

One beast after another.

No matter you are a human or a beast, after all, you cannot overcome the huge advantage in numbers. If two hundred people get into a military formation of five thousand, you can know what will happen with your buttocks.

The soldiers learned quickly, and Ao Canghai's advanced experience was faster than the wind. These guys did not exert force on the knights on the horses, but all greeted the war horses.

Either they cut the horses' legs with knives, or they stabbed the horses' stomachs with bayonets. The stomachs of several horses were disemboweled, and their internal organs were dripping down with blood. A shocking red streak was left on the snow-white ice, and the horses ran away.

As he was running, he hit his head on the ground and stopped moving.

It's not good if the knights on horseback fall off. They have thick armor on their bodies. The soldiers use hammers to hit them, and those who don't use hammers use axes. Those who don't have hammers or axes can just find anything. There is a lot of noise, and some people even use axes.

Use grenades like Ao Canghai.

Fortunately, the quality of the grenades made by the big hammer was very good. None of them exploded, but quite a few of the Houjin Cavalry's heads were opened.

It was too dark to see clearly. Anyway, he hit the figure on the ground in a round shape. Whether it hit the head or the thigh was not sure. Anyway, as long as he heard the person on the ground still screaming, then he

Damn it, just keep smashing it.

It wasn't until there was no more movement than the soldiers would sit down on the ground and gasp for air.

Two hundred elite Zhenghongqi cavalry were quickly lost in the sea of ​​Ming soldiers. When Ao Canghai picked up the chaotic Ming soldiers and reorganized the military formation, there was not a single living Tatar soldier on the ground.

Azig and Duduo had no choice but to rein in their horses. They watched the red flag cavalry being slaughtered mercilessly, but there was nothing they could do.

They were riding war horses, not flying eagles.

The damn warships are constantly shelling, and the cracks in the ice are getting bigger and bigger. No matter how cold the wind is, it will not freeze again in a short time, and it will be frozen to the point where people can walk and race up there.

I once heard a word called "looking at the ocean and sighing", and it really fits the situation when I use it now.

There is one person who is always observing this battle as a bystander!

The Tatar soldiers came, and Huang Taiji naturally became the key subject of supervision. Ao Canghai ordered him to never leave the yard where he was, and of course going to the house was not allowed to leave the yard.

Thanks to the law of standing high and seeing far, Huang Taiji saw this battle very clearly. When he saw the army with the yellow flag, he was forced to stop in front of the exploding sea ice. Huang Taiji sighed helplessly

, this may be the best opportunity the Jurchens have ever had to defeat Li Xiao.

But in the face of absolute strength, no matter how good the opportunity is, it is no longer an opportunity, but a trap that swallows human lives.

Throughout this battle, the Jurchen soldiers of all banners sacrificed their lives and their tactics were appropriate. Even with the help of the red-haired cannon, the attack almost succeeded at one point.

All Jurchen flags have tried their best, including his Zhengbai flag.

But it failed in the end, and artillery fire came from the sea. This made Huang Taiji feel desperate. Ever since he was a child, Nurhaci told Huang Taiji that as long as he was skilled in bow and horse, he could walk sideways in this world.

After watching this battle, Huang Taiji knew that Nurhachi was wrong. He was skilled in bow and horse and could not walk sideways in this world.

Maybe it's not that Nurhachi is wrong, but that the world has changed.

With the advent of gunpowder, the situation where individual bravery determined the direction of war was gone forever.

Compared with Li Xiao's firearms, the firearms of the Ming army were simply dolls' toys. Only now did Huang Taiji realize how lucky he was in winning the battles he fought in the past.

If during the Battle of Hunhe, the Ming army had firearms like Li Xiao, the Eight Banners soldiers would probably have been wiped out.

Although the sea ice will continue to freeze tomorrow, the Ming army can still explode the sea ice.

Uh...! Maybe there's no need to explode.

Just as Huang Taiji's brain was running at high speed, Li Xiu's artillery fire began to extend. With the light of fireworks, the artillery fire began to hit the soldiers of the banners who were still on the ice.

As long as the cannonballs fall in rows, they can always explode large areas of sea ice. Regardless of whether they are hit by the cannonballs, as long as they fall into the water, there is no possibility of survival.

Standing on the roof, you can still feel the biting north wind. Huang Taiji can't even imagine what temperature the sea water is.

The Tatar soldiers retreated like a tide, or it would be more accurate to say that they were defeated.

Huang Taiji closed his eyes in pain. In his military career, he had never seen so many battles involving Eight Banners soldiers that ended in defeat.

The Eight Banners' military regulations are extremely strict. If you retreat without authorization on the battlefield, your corpse will be cut into pieces and hung for public display after you return. Even if you show cowardice on the battlefield, you will be fined money and food after you return, and even be punished by the border guards.

Moreover, if this person does not make great achievements in the future, he will never be able to raise his head in this life.

Now the Eight Banners soldiers have retreated, and they are retreating in such a mess. I wonder how Nurhaci will be troubled after returning.

With a sigh, Huang Taiji climbed down the ladder and climbed down from the roof.

Perhaps the Jurchens' past victories came too easily, and God couldn't stand it and wanted to take away everything the Jurchens had gained.

It's just that it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Can the Jurchens who are used to being slaves really go back to their previous lives? Or will they be forced to return to their old way of life after they have to pay more losses in the next battle.

Huang Taiji walked tiredly to the kang, took off his shoes, leaned on the quilt, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Master Ao! The Tatar soldiers have escaped!" Zheng Sen sat down next to Ao Canghai, regardless of how cold his face was. His face was as smoked as a cat's, and he was holding an unknown weapon in his hand.

The matchlock gun I got.

"Damn it, I almost told you this. How come our guy can't fire?" Ao Canghai picked up a flintlock gun and studied it. It was true. No matter how the bullets were fired into it, it just couldn't be fired.

It goes into the chamber of the gun. It seems that the chamber of the gun is one size too small. I don't know why.

I picked up a Japanese matchlock gun again. This thing was used as usual. The projectiles were loaded into the barrel and then fired. I tried firing a shot, and there was nothing abnormal at all.

"Dachengzi said yes, he sinned against the gods...!" A company commander with a big tongue spoke in a low voice.

"Fuck you, when the city of Liaoyang was broken, how many things did the Tatars do that were not human? Will the gods help them? If the gods help them, I will bombard the damn gods with cannons.

The good people of the Ming Dynasty did not bless them, but they protected those animals that killed people and set fire. Such gods deserve to be blasted into pieces with a fucking cannon." He kicked the little company commander on the butt, scaring the little company.

He didn't dare to speak anymore. Mr. Ao was in a bad mood at this time, so it was better not to offend him.

"The battle damage is calculated on a company-by-company basis, and then brought back for repair. Each company takes turns to be on duty. If anyone dares to mention any bullshit fairy tales, I will shoot him."

"Promise!" Ao Canghai gave the order, and the company commanders of each battalion agreed in unison.

He kept playing with the two guns in his hands. After playing with them for half an hour, he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped playing with them.

Call the messenger and ask him to bring a message to Li Xiao. The guy immediately ran along the ice. It is safest to take a boat to Jinzhou now. Although the dock of Juehua Island is blocked by ice, it is not frozen.

There are still ships on the sea.

In a dilapidated loess house, Nurhachi looked at the charcoal brazier that flickered. Everyone in the room was angry and did not dare to make a sound. It was the first time for the Hou Jin Empire that a person at the level of the flag leader died on the battlefield.

Daishan's braids were messy and he was sitting in the corner with dull eyes, his eyes as red as a rabbit.

In this battle, the eldest son Yue Tuo and the second son Shuo Tuo both died in the battle. The most pitiful one was Yue Tuo, who fell into the dark sea and could not even find his body.

I want to cause trouble for Li Yongfang, but I have no excuse.

Li Yongfang was responsible for inquiring about the information, and his information was correct. He said that the sea would freeze, and the sea was really frozen and solid enough for horse racing. He said that the Ming army did not build a fortress, and the Ming army really did not build a fortress.

I made the decision myself, and now I can’t find a scapegoat but Li Yongfang.

If it were someone else, he would just kill him if he found any excuse. But Li Yongfang was different. He was in charge of the entire Houjin intelligence system. If he was really killed, Nurhachi would become blind and deaf.

This is not likely to be a disaster for Nurhaci, who is old and has a bunch of powerful sons.
