More and more small boats carrying soldiers are approaching the coast. There were only a few dozen soldiers guarding the coast. In just a short time, there were almost a hundred people on the coast.
"Charge, hit them with horses and knock them into the sea." Mao Chenglu saw more and more enemies coming ashore, and it was too late to use bows and arrows to drive them away. He immediately put down his bows and arrows and took the lead in charging towards them.
boom! boom! boom!
The sound of gunshots, even denser than before, resounded along the coastline.
A dozen officers and soldiers who rushed over with Mao Chenglu were hit by muskets and fell out of the charging team.
"kill!"
Mao Chenglu, who rushed to the enemy, held a spear in one arm and stabbed the strongest Tiger Flag soldier with one spear. The tip of the spear penetrated the enemy's chest.
Poof!
As he pulled out the spear, blood spurted out from where the spear tip had penetrated, and the man collapsed to the ground.
However, Mao Chenglu also felt uncomfortable.
The war horse under its crotch was directly pierced by several long bayonets into its flesh. The war horse only had time to let out a mournful scream before falling to the ground, and Mao Chenglu on the horse was also overturned to the ground.
As a general of Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers, he was naturally good at martial arts. When he fell from his horse, he dropped the spear in his hand, rolled over, stood up from the ground, took out the knife from his waist, and raised it to The tiger-character flag soldier closest to him slashed at him.
Poof! Poof!
The sound of two swords piercing the body was heard. Mao Chenglu's hand holding the knife was hanging in the air, and two bayonets were inserted into his chest, and part of the tip of the knife even came out from the other side of his body.
Big mouthfuls of bloody foam spat out from Mao Chenglu's mouth.
He tried his best to open his eyes and look at the two Tiger Flag soldiers who were piercing his body with their swords. One of them seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen him somewhere.
At this moment, the two bayonets inserted in his body were pulled out, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, his vision slowly became blurry, and the figures began to blur.
I remembered.
Just when he was about to close his eyes, he finally figured out why the other party made him feel familiar. It was because the person who killed him was the people on the island that Tiger Flag took away from Pi Island by boat, or was he the one who took these people away with his own hands? The ship sent by people.
It turned out that the people who could be bullied at will on the island have now become so powerful that even he himself died in the hands of the other party.
Soon people fell into endless darkness, and the body fell to the ground.
Mao Chenglu's death did not make Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers retreat. Instead, relying on their numerical advantage, they stayed to fight with the Tiger Flag soldiers on the shore.
Both sides suffered casualties.
However, as time went by, more and more Tiger Flag soldiers came to the shore by boat. Gradually, the numerical advantage of Mao Wenlong and his servants was no longer obvious.
When the number of soldiers who landed on the coast reached 200, two squatting tiger cannons were brought ashore from the ship.
As soon as the two tiger crouching cannons fired, the officers and soldiers who had persisted for a long time finally couldn't bear the casualties and began to flee towards the island. Mao Dusi and the soldiers he brought with him to support him were all driven away from the coast before they could get close. The soldiers and servants who escaped from the side were surrounded and defeated on the island.
Mao Wenlong, who was standing high on the island, slapped his palm hard on the big rock in front of him.
His face was very ugly.
Through the monocular in his hand, he not only saw the defeat of his own soldiers and servants, but also saw with his own eyes the death of Mao Chenglu, who had followed him for many years.
"Captain, the pier cannot be defended. Please retreat to a safe place to preserve your usefulness." Mao Dusi, who had fled back with the defeated troops, found Mao Wenlong.
"Where else can we retreat?" Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly with a heavy expression.
The reason why Dongjiang Town has been able to persist behind the slave thieves for so many years is because of the special environment of Pi Island. If the slave thieves want to get to the island, they can only come by boat or walk on the ice in winter.
It can be said that Phi Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Of course, this is when facing slaves and thieves, but the current Tiger Flag is different. In the past, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now it has become a desperate situation that traps itself.
Because the advantage at sea is not on Pi Island, but on the incoming Tiger Flag.
Seeing that Mao Wenlong was showing signs of death, Mao Dusi quickly said: "Captain, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If Pi Island is lost, we can go to Tieshan General Chen. There may not be no chance of returning to Pi Island in the future. "
"But there are huge enemy ships on the sea. It's impossible for us to leave Pi Island." Mao Wenlong sighed and shook his head.
With those huge ships on the sea, it is basically impossible for them to escape from the island.
Mao Dusi looked around and then whispered: "My subordinates have arranged a small boat on the other side of the island. The governor can leave secretly in the small boat to ensure that the enemy cannot find it."
"This!" Mao Wenlong hesitated.
Just like that, he gave up Pi Island. He was worried that even if he escaped to Tieshan alive, it would be difficult for Governor Jiliao to explain, and maybe Dongjiang Town would be affected by this.
"Captain, don't hesitate. The enemy will come up soon and it will be too late to leave." Mao Dusi urged from the side.
"Well, you are right. Once the slave thieves take action against the Chahar tribe, it will be the tiger character flag's turn to encounter the slave thieves." Liu Heng said in agreement.
Although the slave thieves can enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty through Jizhou Town, the Tiger Character Banner cannot give up the grassland to the slave thieves. Although the area around Baicheng is poor, the Horqin tribe is rich, especially the fertile area leading to Liaodong. How could Liu Heng not miss this oily black land?
Yang Yuan said: "I really look forward to the day when I can meet the slave thieves. I also want to see whether our tiger-character flag army is more powerful or the slave thieves' army."
"Don't worry, that day won't be too far away." Liu Heng said with a smile.
As long as Huang Taiji's ambitions remain unabated, it will be a matter of time before the Tiger Flag and the slave thieves confront each other. Before that, he had already begun to make arrangements to suppress the slave thieves in Liaodong.
"How long until we get there?"
On the sea, several large ships that were obviously easy for Ming ships were sailing on the sea.
On the side of the ship, Zheng Tie held a monocular in his hand and looked at the horizon in the distance.
"We will arrive at Pi Island tomorrow at the latest." Duan Ping said, standing aside.
He has taken the route to Phi Island a lot in the past and is very familiar with the sea area where the fleet is located.
"In the past, the big wood for our shipbuilding was sent out through Pi Island. This time we came to visit the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town." Zheng Tie said while looking at the sea in the distance.
Duan Ping on the side smiled and said: "I'm afraid that General Mao won't like our sudden visit this time."
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. What's important is that I like it." Zheng Tie laughed and put away the monocular telescope in his hand.
