When the dark curtain on the eastern horizon seemed to be cut through by a sharp sword, revealing a glimmer of light, the battle of Beidaihe also began.
Since Shang Kexi and Duduo did not expect to be attacked here, and they were traveling against the wind, Duduo not only asked the sailors to row with all their strength, but also forced some soldiers to participate in rowing in order to reach Beidaihe before dawn. .
Therefore, after being attacked, Duduo's fleet was in great chaos, and the counterattack was very weak.
But their numbers were far greater than Huang Ting's troops. After the initial panic and the loss of several warships, they gradually returned to normal.
After some long-range artillery test firing, Huang Ting found that although there were many Jurchen warships, the power of the artillery was not strong.
Especially the dozen or so warships near the commander's ship not only have an extremely low attack frequency, but also have very poor accuracy.
A cold smile appeared on Huang Ting's face, and he immediately raised a flag and asked the ships to attack the captain's ship.
Duduo was originally a proud and arrogant person, and the White Flag he led was very powerful. He always chased others to fight, but he was never besieged by others.
At this moment, seeing that the Ming Dynasty Navy actually regarded him as prey, Zhong Zhong was furious and kept scolding the soldiers to fight back.
However, most of the soldiers on his ship were Jurchens. They were good at mounting horses to kill enemies, but they knew nothing about water warfare. Chinese website
Previously, with the help of Shang Kexi's soldiers, he was barely able to fight back, but now that he was scolding him, his actions were messed up and his efficiency was even lower.
Seeing this situation, Duduo became even more angry. In anger, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and wanted to kill people and establish his authority.
Nikan on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. Duduo sheathed his sword and continued to angrily scold everyone.
Nikan saw that everyone was getting more and more confused under Duduo's command, while the Ming court's warships were getting closer and closer. He knew that if this continued, the battle would be lost.
When he was feeling sad, he suddenly saw Shang Kexi not far away with a calm face. He did not take the war into consideration, and he immediately understood in his heart.
So he hurried forward and whispered to Duduo, who was directing the battle: "Prince Yu, why do you need to take charge of this trivial matter? Let's rest in the cabin for a while and prepare for the next land battle!"
After he finished speaking, he pulled Duduo towards the cabin and yelled angrily at Shang Ke: "King Zhishun, if you don't command the soldiers to fight back, do you think the Ming court will spare you if we are defeated?"
Shang Kexi originally had a grudge against Duduo because of what happened last night and wanted to see his joke.
At this moment, when he heard Nikan's angry shouts and saw Dodo's angry face, his body trembled slightly, he bowed in response, then quickly stepped forward to take Dodo's place and organized the soldiers to fight back.
Under Shang Kexi's command, the Jurchen Navy's combat power immediately increased by more than twice.
But at this moment, the warships led by Huang Ting had already occupied a favorable position. In addition, most of them were light and fast small bird ships, and their advance and retreat speed were much faster than that of the Jurchen warships. Therefore, even though the Jurchen navy was under the command of Shang Kexi, they were still damaged. took five warships.
However, Shang Kexi was proficient in naval warfare after all, and his troops and horses were far superior to Huang Ting's. After some hard work, he finally forced back the Ming soldiers who besieged the commander's ship and reversed the defeat.
He then launched a counterattack and commanded the warships controlled by his generals to attack Huang Ting's two wings, trying to break through the blockade and change the passive situation of retrograde movement.
Huang Ting was no mediocre person, and immediately strengthened the defenses on both wings. The two sides were evenly matched for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was five miles away, held a telescope and had a panoramic view of the battle between the two sides, and at the same time he was a little surprised.
Although the scale of this battle was not large, the fighting methods of both sides were very different from those of his time, especially the use of firearms, which was much better than that of his time.
Then he discovered that this kind of battle had changes in the attack methods, and there was no innovation in the basic tactics. Especially the coaches of both sides were still a little immature in grasping and controlling the battle situation, and could only be regarded as barely qualified.
At this time, five Jurchen warships broke away from the battle, slowly sailed towards Beidaihe Ferry, and launched an attack on the Ming soldiers on the shore.
There are only about a hundred Ming soldiers stationed here, and they are neglected in training.
Under the attack of Jurchen artillery fire, they immediately became confused and fled in all directions.
The Jurchen warship succeeded in one blow and quickly sailed towards the ferry.
Huang Ting was worried that the Jurchens would be difficult to deal with after they came ashore, so he hurriedly flagged and asked the seven bird ships on the left to rush to stop them.
Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly turned around to fight, and at the same time, ten warships from behind quickly surrounded them.
Huang Ting saw that the seven bird ships were about to be sunk by the opponent, and hurriedly ordered support, and then reluctantly forced the Jurchens back.
Unexpectedly, the Jurchen warship suddenly launched a fierce attack on the right side, broke through the blockade, and rushed behind Huang Ting.
Upon seeing this, Huang Ting hurriedly divided his troops to defend and tried to regain the initiative.
However, the Jurchen navy's warship was much larger than the bird ship, and coupled with the downwind attack at this moment, its power was greatly increased, and it immediately suppressed Huang Ting's attack.
At the same time, the Jurchen navy attacked the ferry again and attempted to land.
Zhang Huangyan, who was in the distance, saw this, put down the telescope in his hand, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, once the Jurchens successfully land, it may be difficult to round them up. Should we launch an attack now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer!"
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the direction of Beidaihe Ferry and found that except for five or six soldiers playing with two Folang machines at the ferry, the others had long since disappeared, and his face could not help but darken.
"boom......"
With a loud noise, several soldiers on the shore were immediately engulfed by gunfire.
When the smoke dissipated, two soldiers with their faces covered in blood were seen kneeling on the ground, tremblingly adjusting the Folan machine, and then saw a cannonball shot out.
"boom!"
When the shell hit the Jurchen warship at the front, the two soldiers also fell down.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, his eyes became more murderous, and he said solemnly: "Zhang Qianhu, after the war is over, bury those soldiers with the ceremony of a hundred households."
"At the same time, hunt down those who escape during the battle. No matter who they are or what the reason is, they will be beheaded in public!"
Zhang Huangyan had just seen the scene on the shore through a telescope, and he was filled with grief and anger.
When he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he immediately responded loudly.
At this time, a Jurchen warship had arrived at the ferry, and a dozen people immediately jumped off the ship.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
...
Just as the Jurchen soldiers landed, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers on the shore, and then more than a hundred soldiers wearing Zheng navy uniforms rushed out.
The Jurchens had already suppressed their anger at sea. Now they landed on their feet and rushed over like wolves and tigers.
Upon seeing this, the more than one hundred navy masters of the Zheng family rushed forward without fear.
However, as more and more Jurchens came ashore, the more than a hundred people no longer acted recklessly. They retreated while fighting and disappeared into the woods on the shore.
At this time, more than two hundred Jurchens had boarded the ferry, and many of them mounted war horses, preparing to chase down the Ming soldiers.
"call!"
Suddenly, several torches were thrown out, immediately lighting the road to the ferry.
"Be careful, there is oil on the ground!"
"Don't be afraid, just rush out!"
"Yes, rush over!"
When the Jurchens saw the fire, they not only did not flinch, but became even braver.
Just when they were about to rush out, they saw a dozen Jurchens hurried back from the front and shouted: "Back away quickly, the fire will come soon!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then saw thick smoke billowing in front of them, and hurriedly ran towards the ship.
"Zhang Qianhu, order the attack!"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the chaos among the warships advancing and retreating at the ferry, so he issued the order to attack.
As more than 500 fresh troops rushed out from the darkness and attacked the Jurchen warships that were attacking Huang Ting from behind, the battle situation immediately reversed.
"Your Majesty, there is smoke!"
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was observing the battle between the two sides,
At this time, a tiger warrior died in a hurry and came over to report.
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled when he heard this, and then picked up his telescope and looked behind him, and sure enough he found a faint black smoke rising slowly.
Soon after, wolf smoke rose from another place, and the color was much thicker than before.
