"No, the other party is going to hit us with a boat."
The general of the Han army, who had been keeping an eye on the situation on the sea, suddenly found that his opponent no longer fired, but rushed towards the Han army's boat.
"Counterattack! How come there are so many people on the ship who don't know how to fight back?" Jierhalang angrily scolded the Han general in front of him.
The Han army general looked bitter after being scolded.
The Han soldiers on the ship were armed with spears and swords. They did not pose any threat to the ship as high as the city wall.
These Han troops could only be beaten passively at sea and had no power to fight back.
"Baylor, why don't we order them to come back!" the Han army general said tentatively to Jilharang.
Hundreds of Han troops at sea were his subordinates, and each one died. He could not bear to let his soldiers and horses go to waste.
"Waiting a minute, we are almost at the island. We will take down Pi Island, and this will be your first achievement." Jirhalang said, staring at the situation on the sea.
Seeing that the other party did not agree to retreat, the Han general retreated helplessly and looked at the Han army at sea again.
The Tiger Flag ship is getting closer and closer to the Han Army ship.
The Han troops on board realized what the Tiger Flag ship was trying to do, and many Han troops on board began to jump off the ship and escape, and began to fall into the water one by one.
Some Han soldiers didn't even think about whether they knew how to swim before jumping from the ship. After jumping, they discovered that they didn't know how to swim and sank little by little into the sea.
Even though the Han soldiers who knew how to swim jumped from the ship, because their clothes were too thick, they were filled with seawater soon after entering the water. After a few struggles, they sank into the water until they were completely submerged in the seawater.
Several ships of the Tiger Flag unceremoniously crashed into the small boats and rafts on which the Han army was riding.
Some rafts fell apart under the impact of the warships, and the Han troops on them fell into the sea. Some Han generals even sank into the sea without having time to take off their armor.
Wherever a few sea ships went on the sea, the Han army ships were knocked over and the Han soldiers on board fell into the water one after another.
The Han soldiers, who were good at swimming, swam hard towards the shore. However, most of the Han soldiers quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and never showed their heads on the sea again.
"It's over, it's all over." The Han general on the shore saw the ships carrying Han troops being knocked over on the sea. He covered his face with his hands in annoyance and couldn't bear to look directly at the situation on the sea.
The soldiers in his hands were the basis for his foothold. Now that he had lost hundreds of people, it would be difficult for him to maintain his current status after returning.
Nowadays, Daikin no longer pays thousands of gold to the Ming Dynasty's generals to buy horse bones when they first started their business. Nowadays, only the Ming Dynasty's generals who have soldiers will be taken seriously. It is only a matter of time that the Ming Dynasty's generals who have no soldiers will be liquidated.
"What a bunch of rubbish." Seeing the hundreds of Han troops being wiped out, Jierhalang cursed with a look of displeasure on his face, completely forgetting that it was he who insisted on not letting the Han troops at sea retreat.
The Han general standing aside had his head drooped and was as honest as a chicken. He did not dare to argue with Jierhalang over the hundreds of Han troops at sea.
"The people on the island have blocked the sea with ships. If these ships are not dealt with, no matter how many people are sent over, it will be difficult to get to the island." Azig looked at Jilharang.
The shortcoming of the army without warships was fully demonstrated.
A few sea ships can easily block this area of the sea. No matter how many boats and rafts they have, they can't break through the opponent's war ship blockade.
"Return to Iron Mountain first. The commander should be arriving soon. As for what to do next, I will decide it personally after the commander arrives." Jirhalang ordered the withdrawal of troops.
It didn't matter if the Han army suffered some casualties. He would not let the Eight Banners soldiers take such a risk.
"The commander-in-chief is coming to Tieshan?" Azige said in surprise.
Ji Erhalang explained: "Everything has been arranged in Yizhou. The commander-in-chief is about to lead his troops to attack Xuanchuan. It's almost time to arrive at Iron Mountain today."
"It's a pity. If Pidao was captured today, the commander-in-chief would be very happy." Azig hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we try again?"
As he spoke, he looked at the Han army general on the side.
The Han general's face showed a bitter look.
Understand that the other party is trying to take advantage of the Han army again.
At this time, I heard Jierhalang say: "The Han army is also the army of Dajin. There are too many Zhensuns to explain to the commander-in-chief. The matter of Pidao should wait until the commander-in-chief arrives before deciding whether to continue the attack."
Azig's idea was rejected outright.
This made the Han army commander next to him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
This battle at sea was a one-sided massacre for the Han army. In the end, not even twenty Han soldiers escaped, and most of those who did not escape sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
Azig glanced at Pidao opposite him unwillingly.
But when he saw several warships on the sea, he finally looked away helplessly.
Such a good warship, it's a pity that Daikin doesn't have it.
Jirhalang, Azige and others led the army back to the camp in Tieshan, and those Han troops who failed to escape from the sea were concerned about the no-man's land.
The commander-in-chief of the Han army only asked people to support those who had escaped and left the shore with the army.
"The slave thieves have retreated." The observer on the warship noticed the situation on the shore and immediately reported the news to the person in charge on the ship.
The gunner of the artillery team on the ship sneered: "The slave thieves don't even have a decent warship. They just want to cross this sea area and land on the island with some small boats and rafts. They are thinking blindly."
"No wonder the slave thieves have been helpless since Mao Wenlong occupied Pi Island. As long as they hold this sea, the slave thieves without navy will never be able to land on Pi Island." The captain sighed with emotion.
For him, such a naval battle was a one-sided massacre, and his opponent did not even have the slightest threat.
"From what I heard, most of the people who fell into the water are Han Chinese. Do you want to rescue them?" someone asked.
The captain walked to the side of the ship and looked around.
There are many people who have fallen into the water floating on the sea. Most of these people are holding on to the planks left after the ship crashed and some scattered rafts, trying their best to keep their bodies from sinking into the sea.
Most people would not survive if they were soaked in sea water for a long time in such cold weather.
"Listening to the voice, there are quite a few Jiliao accents," the gunner said.
The captain on the side nodded slightly and said immediately: "They are all Han people. We can't watch them drown. As long as all the people who have not shaved their heads are rescued, those who have shaved their heads are not Han people. Whether they live or die depends on them." life."
Several warships sailed to Pidao Pier.
As for those people asking for help in the sea, everyone on the warship ignored them.
Since they are no longer Han, they naturally go to rescue them.
Not only that, when the warship turned around, it even ran into several people holding wooden boards. They all had bald heads with a pigtail on the back of their heads.
There are many new soldiers on the shore of Pi Island, led by war soldiers, guarding the shore.
The Han troops who fell into the sea not only swam to the shore on the Iron Mountain side, but also swam to the Pi Island.
As long as people in the sea swim to the side of Pi Island, they will be immediately dragged up and tied up with ropes by the people guarding the shore.
