Chongmingsha
Three to four thousand North Korean navy, led by Li Daoshun and North Korea and other navy generals, fought with the navy from Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps. From time to time, loud shouts of killing could be heard on the sea, and the thick sound of wooden ships in the distance was heard. The smoke billows like a desolate picture.
Shui Yu and Wei Che sent 7,000 soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps to wipe out the remaining Korean navy, and returned to the state of boarding battles and slashing with swords and axes.
Cai Quan led Jia Fang and Ye Kai, and each led 1,500 naval forces to abandon the Korean navy and pursue the fleeing pirate forces.
Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu brothers also boarded a warship and led the fleet to hunt down the Sihai Gang, the Nujiao Gang, the Jinsha Gang, and the thirteen small pirate forces active in the waters of Fujian and Zhejiang.
Among them, three of the major gang leaders were unilaterally made marquises by Duduo, and several other small factions were also earls and viscounts.
Well, anyway, he just made a wish and made a big fuss about Chen Handongnan.
However, now, as if they were being driven into the water, Chen Han's army began to chase them along two routes, and they fled.
It has to be said that in a water battle, if one party intends to escape, it will be difficult for the other party to pursue them. This is why in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhi and Zheng Zhilong roamed freely on the sea, and the Ming court could only trap and appease them. .
If you can't beat him, you can run away, hide on some island, avoid the limelight, and come back soon. What can you do to him?
Moreover, today's wind is still blowing from the southwest, but a pursuit like this can still be avoided... only by one's own safety.
As time passed, Chen Han's Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps gradually completed the encirclement and cutting of the North Korean Navy, and the sounds of killing and the clash of swords and guns were intertwined.
Some of them quickly boarded the navy at Chongming Sand after the ship sank. About two to three thousand North Korean navy troops, led by Li Daoshun, quickly landed at Chongming Sand.
A temporary camp was originally set up on the island, and three days' worth of fresh water and military supplies were also placed in order to attack Jinling from the river mouth.
At this moment, Li Daoshun and Deng Biao led the North Korean navy generals into the camp. There were deep ditches and high gorges. They stretched their bows and arrows on the repaired city wall, set up cannons and blunderbuss, and prepared for the attack of the official army.
There is no calm on the sea, and fighting is happening everywhere. The North Korean navy is in a foreign country, and its will to resist was quite tenacious at first. At this moment, the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps are still strangulating.
This is actually the regular rhythm of water battles.
Jia Heng's eyes were dark, he put down the monocular and said coldly: "Xiaoxiao, Duduo is on the island!"
Chen Xiaoyu's face was calm, and she felt a little relieved. She said in a clear voice: "If you go to the island, you won't be able to escape. Duduo has become a turtle in the urn!"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice to Liu Jixian who was standing by: "First, let the ships surround us, and then send a message to the Denglai Navy and Fuzhou Navy again to intercept and kill the fleeing pirates from the south and the north."
The pirates active in Fujian and Zhejiang and other places in recent years were temporarily left to Denglai and Fuzhou Navy to suppress them from the north and south, while he concentrated on besieging Duduo and completely annihilating this enemy bandit from afar.
As time passed, the North Korean navy fighting on the sea could not hold on any longer and hoisted the white flag. After a while, as if the plague was spreading, more than a dozen warships hoisted the white flag one after another.
Flying the white flag is the almost universal semaphore of surrender.
Because Korea became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty after the Taizong Dynasty, it was not until the end of Longzhi that Liaodong fell and was conquered by the Jurchens.
Jia Heng raised his eyes and saw that it was almost noon. The battle reports from other places had not yet been sent. It was clear that they were still chasing the fleeing pirates.
Jia Heng ordered the navy soldiers to have lunch first. There had just been a big battle, and the soldiers also needed to rest and eat. Moreover, attacks on islands often suffered heavy casualties, so they needed to make some preparations.
As for the confident behavior of the 89th Division such as "take Chongming Sand and then have lunch", it is still somewhat inappropriate for the cold weapon era.
Pull the trigger without getting tired.
At this time, Shui Yu got off the flag ship where he was, took a speedboat and boarded the flag ship where Jia Heng was. He climbed up the deck along the rope ladder, cupped his hands towards Jia Heng and said: "Yong Ning Bo, a warship of the Korean Navy." General Wei has sent people to take over, how will our navy attack next?"
This Jiedu envoy who worshiped the general in the Jiangbei camp after a water battle had sweat on his temples, an inexplicable flush on his face, and blood on his armor and shirt. It was obvious that he had been fighting with a sword in person just now.
In the 100 years since the founding of Chen Han, the importance of the navy had long given way to the nine-sided army. However, this water battle made the fourth son of the Shui family, whose fighting spirit had been gradually sinking, was rekindled after seeing the artillery fire. rise.
Jia Heng nodded, not surprised to see the high-spirited look in Shui Yu's eyes, and said loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, Commander Shui."
As long as a man sees artillery, he will be filled with great pride.
More is beauty, bigger is better, caliber is justice.
Moreover, the key point is that if the navy changes its tactics, then the traditional navy generals will actually benefit, at least they will have the opportunity to become marquises.
Fan Shuiyu has read his "Pinglu Ce".
Jia Heng pondered and said: "First, surround Chongmingsha and closely monitor the movements of the Jurchen Navy. After the troops and horses have taken a short rest, they will land on the island and launch a general attack. Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"
The battle to land on the island was still one shot at a time. The previous water battle was actually defeated by intensive firepower...
It does not mean that the North Korean navy was wiped out all at once.
When Shui Yu heard this, he looked excited and said yes.
Jia Heng didn't say much, entered the cabin, sat down, and washed his hands.
At this time, Chen Xiao was already sitting behind the dining table, looking at Jia Heng with complicated eyes, and said, "No wonder you want to go to Haojing. This Hongyi cannon is indeed extraordinary."
Jia Heng said: "Firearms with high precision and strong stability will be the main weapon in future wars, but swords, guns, bows and crossbows will still be used for more than ten years. Moreover, after this defeat, the Jurchens may also pay attention to firearms in the future, so there is still a need for Blockade the Jurchens."
In fact, the blockade only increased the cost of the Jurchens' acquisition of cannons and bought time for the Han army. The blockade cannot be expected to solve all problems.
In the Songjin Battle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army used a large number of red cannons. Obviously, this group of people also had a way.
At this time, the Chongping period was actually the time point of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Due to some historical deviations, the Jurchens had not yet realized the importance of the Hongyi cannon.
The applicable scenarios and technology of the Hongyi Cannon also need to be optimized. Even the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space only used the Red Yi Cannon to defend the city, mainly because... it was too heavy.
The red cannon weighs one ton, so it is more suitable to be used as a naval gun on ships.
If the direction of subsequent improvement of the technology is to improve stability, the other is to reduce the weight so that mules and horses can pull it and can be used in field battles.
Jia Heng thought about it, but he didn't actually think that with the Red Yi cannon, he could destroy the Jurchens in three strikes, five out of five, and two out of two, because history had proven that the Ming Dynasty still lost its country with the Red Yi cannon.
At that time, on Chongming Sand
After the emergency rescue by Deng Biao and Li Daoshun, Duduo gradually recovered from the roar of the cannons just now, but his eyes were dazed, his face was gray, and there was blood on one cheek.
But his face was scratched by sawdust flying under the gunfire.
"Master, there are Han ships outside, and we are surrounded." Deng Biao said sadly.
Wei Guang, the young novice monk on the side, looked worried and sighed secretly.
It would have been nice if he had just escaped with a few big bosses, but on this ship, he learned the lesson from the last time.
Duduo gathered his thoughts and asked: "How many ships do we have? Can we fight a bloody path?"
"The ships were intercepted by the Han army. Chongmingsha is surrounded by Han army warships. Master, we..." Li Daoshun, commander of the Jeolla Province navy, frowned, sighed, and whispered, after all, the general will The words "surrender" were swallowed back.
North Korea has a fine tradition of surrender. Anyway, for thirty years, it was still the sweet potato country of the Han Dynasty.
Duduo's face paused slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I will fight the Han army to the death with the island and the camp!"
When Li Daoshun saw this, his eyes flashed, and his heart was filled with a thick layer of haze.
Is this going to wipe out all the North Korean navy?
But at this time, it was hard to say much else because of Duduo's prestige.
As for Deng Biao, his face was gloomy and he sighed in his heart.
Trapped in a desperate situation, what can I do?
Duduo's eyes were blood red and his face was twisted, like a gambler who had lost all his money. A humiliating anger surged in his heart, but he could not vent it.
At this moment, an urgent voice from a military academy came from outside: "General, the Han army has landed on the island."
The faces of the generals in the military tent changed suddenly. They quickly left the military tent and climbed to the heights of the camp. Looking towards the river mouth, they saw dozens of large boats approaching the island sand. They lowered speedboats one after another, full of soldiers. The j speedboat began to land on the island.
As the navy in the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps had their fill of war, it was clear that a new round of offensive had begun.
Duduo ordered: "Li Daoshun, don't let the Han army gain a foothold on the island."
Li Daoshun's face paused, and he accepted the order with his hands raised, and without saying a word, he left the military tent.
Then, the Han army and the North Korean navy on the island fought again in an instant, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth, coming from all directions.
Deng Biao looked at Duduo, looked around, and when he saw no one there, he lowered his voice and said in Jurchen language: "Master, the situation is over, why not take advantage of this chaos and let's withdraw."
But Duduo shook his head and said stubbornly: "I want to fight the Han army here to the death!"
Deng Biao was very worried and whispered: "Master, there was a small boat hidden on the island earlier. Let's find a way to escape."
"There are Han warships and troops on all sides, where can we escape?" Duduo said coldly with firm eyes.
If they were caught by the Han army while fleeing, and they abandoned their soldiers and escaped alone, it would be a great shame and humiliation. Moreover, they were completely defeated this time. How could they still have the dignity to go back?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to fight to the death with that Jia Heng child!
When Deng Biao heard this, his face turned gloomy and he sighed again.
He looked at the North Korean naval commander with hesitation just now, fearing that he would resist for a short time...
Duduo suddenly remembered something and said: "Deng Biao, you must find a way to return to Shengjing and tell your brother that the Han people have a kind of cannon that can be fired from two or three miles away. It is as powerful as thunder and fire, compared to Fo Lang." The cannon is even more powerful, but please be careful if you pass by my brother!"
Deng Biao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said with firm eyes: "I will follow the master!"
In fact, the ship may not have escaped the Han army's blockade and search. It would be better to follow the master and die.
Seeing this, Duduo trembled slightly and felt moved in his heart. He was speechless for a long time. He patted Deng Biao heavily on the shoulder and said, "What a slave!"
After saying that, he looked at Wei Guang and said, "Wei Guang, I'll leave it to you to report the news back."
Wei Guangzheng, a novice from the Calabash Temple, rolled his eyes and wondered what was going on with the boat. Hearing this, he looked at Duduo in shock, pointed at himself and said, "My lord, me?"
"Your Majesty, with General Deng's ability, he feels that he can't escape. I really don't have the ability to do anything like Tongtian." Wei Guang said with a bitter face.
Duduo said coldly: "When the fighting breaks out on the island, if someone from the North Korean Navy surrenders, you will surrender as well. Find a way to escape back and tell us about the war situation here."
As he spoke, he thought for a while, took out a waist badge from his arms, and warned: "This is my king's Zhengbai Banner Order. You should keep it until you go to Shengjing. Use it as a token to find it." Brother Dorgon, until then, glory and wealth will be indispensable to you."
After thinking about it and feeling uneasy, he tore off a piece of white cloth from his shirt, bit his finger, wrote a sentence on it in Jurchen script, and then handed it over to Wei Guang's shocked eyes.
"Look for brother Dorgon, tell him how powerful this cannon is, and tell him that Jia Heng is a serious nuisance to me, Houjin, and we must eradicate it at all costs!" Duoduo's bloodshot pupils were like a hungry wolf at the end of his rope. , fierce and cold, his voice almost gritting his teeth.
Wei Guang took the token and the red cloth and said: "Master, don't worry, even if this slave fights for his life, he will definitely take the prince's words with him!"
Duduo nodded without saying much, picked up the sword beside him and walked out. Deng Biao followed closely with the sword in hand.
At this moment, a large group of officers and soldiers had arrived at Chongming Sand, and they were fighting with the North Korean navy above. The sound of weapons clashing and fighting sounded again on the island.
Li Daoshun was leading several generals at the moment, including General Ruan Qi, guerrilla general Jin Zhongshi and other generals. The face of this naval commander in his early thirties was full of sadness.
The Jeolla Province Navy is considered the most elite navy in North Korea, and it has a large number of troops, with a total of 21,000 people. This time, Li Daoshun, who led 10,000 troops, was originally to coordinate with the Jurchens, but he did not expect to suffer a major defeat. , almost completely destroyed.
Seeing the admiral Pao Ze who was locked in a bitter battle under the crossbows and muskets of the Han army, suffering countless casualties, the commander Ruan Qi on the side showed a hint of intolerance and said in a low voice: "You are handsome, the casualties of our men are too serious. It’s better to surrender.”
Again, there is no shame in surrendering to the big man!
Because just twenty or thirty years ago, Korea was still a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.
"Wait a moment." Li Daoshun pondered for a moment, his eyes became a little darker, and said, "Let's wait until the evening."
Don't be too eager to surrender, otherwise it will easily bring trouble to the country if it spreads back to the country.
On this side, Duduo led Deng Biao and several personal guards to the wall of the camp, raised his sword and fought with the Han army in person. The prince was very fierce every time he used the sword, clearly venting his anger.
Li Daoshun watched this scene from a distance, his eyes moved, and he sighed in his heart.
At this time, no matter how much one takes the lead, there is no way to save the day, because the Han army's attacks are like a steady stream, not to mention other reinforcements.
"Generals, follow me to kill the enemy." Li Daoshun was silent for a moment and said loudly.
It’s not good to keep standing at this time.
On the flag ship, Jia Heng was holding a monocular to watch the battle.
At this moment, on the Chongming beach in the mirror, a large number of Han troops wearing red mandarin duck war coats, with armor pads on their chests and backs, and copper helmets on their heads, surged toward the shore like burning clouds.
Yanling knives, spears, the blood and cruelty of the cold weapon era are clearly presented before your eyes, and you can even see the ferocious expressions on the faces of the soldiers on both sides and the ferocious expressions caused by roars.
Chen Xiao raised her clear eyes, stared at the young man, stretched out her hand to pull Jia Heng's sleeve, and said in a voice as clear as the tinkling of a mountain spring, "Let me take a look."
Jia Heng: "..."
Putting down the monocular, he looked at the girl with pursed pink lips and cold eyes. She felt a little funny in her heart, but her expression remained calm and she asked, "Where was the one I gave you earlier?"
"Xianning took it away." Chen Xiao said coldly with a frosty face.
When this matter was mentioned, the girl was obviously a little angry.
Thinking of Xianning, his eyes lit up when he heard that it was a gift from the young man in front of him, and then he rubbed her softly.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and secretly thought that Xianning really grabbed everything. Without saying anything more, he handed it over and said, "You use it first, and I will ask someone to make one for you later. Now the command is indispensable."
Chen Xiao didn't say much and looked at the soldiers fighting on Chongming Sand with a telescope.
After a while, Chen Xiao held a monocular and said softly: "The North Korean navy is losing ground. If it weren't for the camps and trenches, it would be disintegrated in an instant."
"A big defeat, as well as the Hongyi cannon, the morale was reduced by 60%." Jia Heng was not surprised. He said calmly, turned to Liu Jixian and ordered: "Let Cai Quan prepare the cannon, and then blast Camp once to reduce casualties among soldiers."
Liu Jixian accepted the order and said yes.
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao. The girl had a heroic appearance. Under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her clear eyes could see that under her straight and delicate nose were unrouged lips. She was pretty and pretty, with handsome features and eyes.
Xiaoxiao has been peeking at him a lot in the past two days. In fact, he is the same.
Sometimes it's not for low-level lust, it's mainly for eye candy, not to mention that men are still young until they die.
This is just like the old man watching the TV in the living room, who got up and went to the back room when he saw the dancing legs. My wife thought the old man was very serious, but the old man... came out wearing reading glasses.
"Boom boom boom!"
With the rumbling sound of cannons, Jia Heng was brought back from his thoughts. At the same time, the camp made of bamboo and thick wood on Chongming Sand also quickly flew into the sky amidst the sound of cannon fire.
"The North Korean Navy will be unable to resist it." Chen Xiao held a monocular telescope and whispered: "Duduo, I seem to have seen Duduo."
At this moment, Jia Heng held the sword on his waist, stepped forward, and took the monocular telescope from Chen Xiao.
At this moment, Duduo was holding a saber and was strong and vigorous. Under the continuous offensive of the Han army, he waved out dazzling rays of light.
Jia Heng said: "What a fierce general."
He is worthy of being a famous Jurchen general prince. He is the most outstanding military merit among the princes who entered the Pass of the Qing Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that a hundred men can defeat him.
Listening to Jia Heng's emotion, Chen Xiao was speechless for a while, and glanced at the young man's expression. For some reason, he felt that Jia Heng's words were a bit funny.
Could this be the condescension of the winner?
Jia Heng felt cold in his heart and said: "It's a pity that his hero is my enemy."
At this moment, the dusk was deep above the sky, but the officers and soldiers were still rushing towards Chongming Sand like a tide.
The North Korean Navy could no longer hold on. With the sound of gongs, the generals in the rear hoisted white flags.
As Jia Heng used cannons and destroyed the camp, Li Daoshun, the governor of Jeolla Province, finally couldn't hold on any longer and raised a white flag to express his sincerity to the Han army.
But not all North Korean naval forces surrendered. The hundreds of North Korean naval officers and commanders surrounding Duduo were obviously furious and were inspired by Duduo's bloody courage.
At this moment, Duduo waved the sword in his hand. Wherever he passed, broken limbs and broken arms were flying with blood. The blood beads on his face were stained with blood, and he was still shouting: "Kill!"
The beard under the chin and under the nose has long disappeared, but at this moment there is no doubt that this is a pure man.
Deng Biao and a dozen Jurchen guards beside him, already covered in blood, formed a circular formation to protect Duduo under the siege of the surrounding Han troops.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Put down the boat and get ashore!"
Compared with killing Duduo and sending Duogeqian to the capital, Mingzheng canon punishment is the best outcome.
At the same time, more than a hundred female white flag soldiers captured in the previous Haimen victory will also be escorted to the capital and presented to the Ancestral Temple to comfort the heroes of the Liaodong battle.
This move will undoubtedly highlight the value of Dogege.
Without him, he can rebuild the morale of the Han Dynasty's military and people. This move will greatly encourage the officials of the Chen and Han Dynasty!
Because this is a Jurchen prince!
It can be said that this is a substantial victory since the fall of Liaodong in the 27th year of Longzhi, and it has initially washed away the shame of the Han army's consecutive defeats in the face of the Jurchens!
Just imagine how happy the emperor would be?
In this way, the future war against the captives will give him more say and help him get rid of the constraints of the Nan'an County Prince, the border town generals and the civil service group.
Moreover, picking up the broken backbone of the Han Dynasty civil servants is more valuable than the meaning of this victory!
Previously, three hundred Jurchens were annihilated, leaving more than a hundred prisoners behind, but they were just waiting for this to happen.
If Duduo dies, it would be quite effective to comfort the Ancestral Temple with his head, but... this job is almost uninteresting.
What could be more satisfying to an emperor than to kneel down at the Hanyuan Hall and ask the emperor to question him about his crimes: "We are a small country, we have been greatly favored by China, we are ambitious, we are treacherous..." Vanity?
Even if he didn't ask Xianning and Chanyue to marry him on the spot? Almost as little.
Chen Xiao also saw Jia Heng's intention. Seeing the concern in Qingli Yurong, she warned: "The trapped beast is still fighting, you have to be careful."
Clearly worried about Jia Heng's battle.
Jia Heng's eyes were firm and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."
After two lives as human beings, the soul of the time traveler and the body of the same person gradually merged, and their strength increased every moment.
Jia Heng and Chen Xiao boarded the speedboat and headed towards the island.
At this moment, the twilight is vast, the sky and the earth are dark, the sun has only left a trace of sunset in the western sky, and torches have been lit up and down the Chongming Sands, and groups of officers and soldiers began to accept the surrender of the North Korean Navy.
Jia Fang, on the other hand, led the cannon team and fired it at the North Korean Navy, which was still stubborn and resisting.
These more than 100 flintlock rifles were organized into a firecrackers team by Jia Heng. This battle was led by Jia Fang, a young general from the Jia tribe whom Jia Heng was most optimistic about. They mainly trained in tactics and the control of this "high-end" firearm.
At this moment, on the warship, Ye Cheng looked in surprise at the handsome banner that landed ashore in the dusk in the distance, and asked: "Master Marquis, what is Bo Yongning doing ashore?"
Ye Zhen was silent for a moment and whispered: "Uncle Yong Ning wants to kill Duo Duo. This is what young people do."
He is self-reliant and brave, beheading generals and seizing the flag. He was also like this when he was young.
Ye Cheng said worriedly: "Master Hou, nothing will happen, right?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Yongning is also a famous warrior in the world. I heard that Gao Yue, who was captured in Henan, is a warrior." Ye Zhen's face was calm, his tiger eyes flashed, and thoughts surged in his heart.
The veteran was still thinking about the previous naval battle. The scene of the salvo of firecrackers was so shocking that it seemed to have changed the navy's tactics and even the infantry's tactics?
"Impossible. If it's at sea, the boats can't be so crowded. How much more powerful can this red cannon be?" Ye Zhen frowned and shook his head secretly.
Although the Hongyi Cannon is powerful, it does not change the foundation of military commanders like them. After all... they still have to fight with swords and guns.
While Ye Zhen was thinking about "Application Scenarios of Hongyi Cannon in the Sea", Jia Heng had already boarded Chongming Sand, holding a special broadsword in his hand, heading towards the surrounded Duduo.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Duduo.
In other words, the North Korean navy, which originally followed Duduo in a bloody battle, has been affected by the surrounding atmosphere of surrender as time has passed.
Like a fateful meeting, just before night fell, when the sunset clouds in the west were about to fade away, Duduo beheaded a Han army junior high school with one knife, staring at Jia Heng with his bloodshot eyes.
Jia Heng's face was as solid as iron and he shouted loudly: "Duduo, are you okay?"
It seems that Duduo and I have not seen each other for more than a month. This Jurchen prince has not changed much, except that he is a little fairer.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Duduo was staring closely at the boy in the python suit. The boy dragged his knife and pulled out a strip of sand on the ground.
Chen Xiao held a sword and followed Jia Heng.
"Commander Jie is here." Jia Fang, Wei Che, Ye Kai and other generals looked at the young man.
Jia Heng nodded and shouted: "The generals are guarding me, I will personally kill this general!"
Before leaving Jiangnan, you need to leave some impression on the Jiangnan camp, otherwise no matter how determined you are in commanding and strategizing, you will still be a young man who is not yet young.
He has never taken action before, and ordinary soldiers have no intuitive impression of his bravery. How can they believe in him and be heartbroken?
At this moment, there were pine oil torches all around, crackling and burning, swaying gently in the sea breeze.
Deng Biao was covered in blood. At this moment, the skin and flesh under his ribs were turned out and dripping with blood. He was also hit by two arrows in his legs. He said urgently: "Master!"
The commander of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army had been seriously injured. He had lost too much blood, and the hand holding the saber was trembling slightly because of the cold.
Duduo sneered, swung the saber in his hand and said, "Jia Heng, please accept your fate!"
