"No, Azige and the others were discovered by the people on the island." Yue Tuo on the shore suddenly changed his face when he saw fireworks being set off over the island.
Amin, who was also standing on the shore observing the direction of Pi Island, his face darkened.
"Commander, we can't wait any longer. Azig needs to be sent back immediately." Yue Tuo turned his head and said to Amin.
I want Amin to order Azig and the soldiers who attacked Pi Island to return.
"We can't come back. Azig and the others are too far away from the shore." Amin shook his head with a heavy face, and then said to the soldiers beside him, "Go and find Li Sizhong of the Han Army."
The soldier turned and left to find someone.
Li Sizhong, as the Han general in this army, also guarded the shore.
He is just a guerrilla general, so naturally he is not qualified to stand with Amin and other Baylor and Manchu and Mongolian generals.
However, his location is not far from Amin and others.
As soon as he got the order from Amin to summon him, he immediately left the Han troops around him and rushed to Amin.
"My subordinates bow to the commander-in-chief." Li Sizhong knelt down on one knee and saluted Amin.
Amin looked at him and said: "The people on Pi Island have discovered Azig and his friends. I ordered your Han army to fire on Pi Island immediately to ensure the safety of Azige and others."
Most of the hundreds of people who attacked Pi Island were Eight Banners soldiers, especially Azig, who was Dajin's Baylor. Once Azig and the hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers died here on Pi Island, he, the commander-in-chief, would not be able to compete with Dajin. Director Baylor explained to the flag owner.
"Commander, my subordinates can ask the people below to fire, but our cannons can't hit the island opposite." After hearing the mission assigned by Amin, Li Sizhong looked bitter.
Daikin had its own cannons, most of which were captured from the Ming army, and some of which were built by themselves.
The quality of the cannons built by oneself is worrying, and most of them are small cannons. There are no heavy cannons like the Hongyi Cannon, and they cannot be built even if they want to.
At this time, Yue Tuo said: "There is definitely not much hope in expecting the Han army to support Azig and the others with artillery. The top priority now is how to safely withdraw Azig and the others."
"The deputy commander is absolutely right." Li Sizhong agreed with Yue Tuo, and then said to Amin, "Since the people on Pi Island have discovered Baylor and the others, it will definitely be difficult for the sneak attack to succeed. As long as Baylor and the others retreat, my subordinates can Use cannons to block the sea and stop the big ships on the island from pursuing Belle and his friends."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Snapped!
At this moment, fireworks bloomed over the sea, which was very beautiful.
At the same time, the light from the fireworks illuminated the dark sea, exposing each small boat to the eyes of people on both sides of the strait.
boom! boom! boom!
There were bursts of gunfire on the island.
With the light of the fireworks about to disappear, you can see the water columns rising up on the sea. At the same time, some small boats on the sea were hit by cannons, their hulls were dismembered, and the people on board were dead or injured, or they fell into the sea.
"It's over!" Yue Tuo's face turned pale.
He had no interest in watching the beautiful fireworks in the sky. All he could think about was how Azig would explain to the Khan if he died here.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go and fire artillery support?" Amin raised his leg and kicked Li Sizhong in front of him to the ground, staring at Li Sizhong with a terrifying face.
It seemed that if Li Sizhong dared to say anything more, he would immediately chop him with a knife.
Li Sizhong rolled and crawled away.
I hope in my heart that nothing will happen to Azig, otherwise if Baylor dies in battle, he, the leader of the Han army, is likely to become the scapegoat Amin is waiting for.
Returning to the Han army, Li Sizhong shouted to a group of Han soldiers guarding the shore: "Don't be so stupid. Fire, fire into the sea."
He yelled and cursed loudly while walking towards the group of Han soldiers.
The Han gunners guarding the cannons hurriedly loaded the cannons with medicine and iron balls. However, because it was too dark, the gunners could not even load a single cannon until Li Sizhong arrived.
"General, what did the general say?" A general from the Han army came to Li Sizhong.
Li Sizhong said with a gloomy look: "What else can I say, save Azig and the others! If this Baylor really dies here on Pi Island, it will be a big deal."
"How to save! People are almost on the island. Even if we want to take a boat to pick them up, there is no boat available." Mr. Bao looked at the seawater that was being bombarded and smiled bitterly.
There were still many small boats and rafts parked on the shore, but they were all guarded by Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolian soldiers. There was not a single boat on the Han army's side, not even a single raft left.
Li Sizhong frowned and said: "The commander-in-chief asked our Han army to fire cannons. You don't have to worry about anything. Just let your men fire cannons into the sea."
"This cannon can't be fired! Belle is still in the sea. If a cannon hits Belle, it won't be enough to chop off the little one's head." Mr. Ba said with a wry smile.
Li Sizhong's face sank and he said: "Fire if you are told to. There is so much nonsense. Do you dare to disobey the commander's order? You don't want your life."
"General, please tell me the truth. Are the masters of Daikin starting to fight again, trying to make me take the blame for such a small boss?" asked the boss with a grimace.
The internal struggle within the pseudo-golden army was no secret at all to the generals on the Han army's side.
Every once in a while, there will be Baylor, Beizi, and Banner Leader. These people will fight for power. Even the old slaves in those days killed their brothers and sons for their own power.
Infighting is a tradition of pseudo-gold.
Li Sizhong's face darkened when he heard this, and he scolded: "What are you thinking? The commander wants to save the Baylor in the sea. If he really wants to die, Baylor, do you think you can always handle such a big thing?" .”
"Of course the little one can't handle it." The commander hurriedly shook his head, and then said, "Since the commander-in-chief didn't want to kill that Belle, why did he let us fire into the sea? At this moment, there were only Belle and the Eight Banners Soldiers in the sea. , As for the island opposite, even if we fire cannons, we can’t reach them.”
Li Sizhong raised his hand and knocked on the president's forehead, and said angrily: "How could a person who usually looks very smart say such stupid things in his mouth? I asked you to fire cannons into the sea, but I didn't ask you to use cannons to bomb your own people in the sea. , you won’t fire at a place where no one is around, and if you can’t even handle such a small thing, how can I trust you to lead the troops alone in the future?”
"I understand, little one, let the people below fire." General Manager suddenly understood, and turned around to go back and give orders to the Han gunners who were manning the artillery.
At this time, Li Sizhong reminded from behind: "If an enemy ship approaches, remember to use cannons to stop it. Don't let the enemy ship approach the Eight Banners soldiers in the sea."
