"Fart, there are hundreds of us, and we have house walls to rely on. Whatever you are afraid of, let me listen. After a while, the thieves will approach. They will shoot with bows and arrows first, and then stab them with spears. Do you hear me?" Shen Shikui Cheer up your own soldiers.
"yes."
The soldiers nearby agreed.
A group of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty looked warily at the soldiers and horses chasing outside, and they all grasped the weapons in their hands.
As the two sides got closer and closer, the chasing rebel soldiers and horses did not rush to attack, but stopped not far away.
"General, it seems like the rebels can't come over?" The soldier next to Shen Shikui whispered, "Is it possible that the rebels encountered something and want to retreat?"
After hearing this, Shen Shikui cursed: "Are you thinking about the lake of water? Now that the traitor is on the island, how can it be possible for him to turn around without success? Let me keep a close eye on the traitor and see what happens to the traitor." What do you want to do!"
Although he didn't know what the traitor was waiting for, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of our own soldiers and horses was too small, we would have been able to rush out long ago.
It's a pity that even Dongjiang Town's elite soldiers and horses in Pi Island and Tieshan are no match for these rebels. He is unwilling to take risks without seeing an advantage.
Didn't wait too long.
A small Fran cannon weighing more than 100 kilograms but less than 200 kilograms was pushed over and appeared in front of the rebel troops.
Seeing this cannon, Shen Shikui's face turned dark.
There was no decent city at all on Deer Island, and the houses and courtyards where he and the officers and soldiers of Deer Island were hiding were all made of mud bricks mixed with hay and had mud walls.
This kind of mud house is okay for people to live in, but it can't withstand artillery fire at all.
"Fight out and fight the traitors." Shen Shikui was the first to rush out with a waist knife in hand.
He knew that if he didn't charge now, if he waited for the opponent to fire, he would only be buried under the earthen house. Rather than being buried alive, it was better to risk his life and fight for once.
If you win, you will be promoted and make a fortune; if you lose, you will be in the sky.
Generals are brave soldiers, and with Shen Shikui as the leader charging forward, the other Ming soldiers naturally also rushed forward bravely and rushed out of the houses where they were hiding.
As the commander-in-chief, Shen Shikui was surrounded by personal guards. Ordinary soldiers were not treated so well. They were dressed in tattered clothes, holding spears or notched swords, and shouted to move forward. .
Many soldiers rushed in front of Shen Shikui without even realizing it.
The soldiers guarding Ludao Island were not soldiers transferred from the country, but directly recruited from the refugees from Liaodong. They had a deep hatred for the slaves and thieves, and naturally carried an aura of hostility in them.
"fire!"
A thousand-man captain on the Tiger Flag side directly ordered the gunner to fire.
boom!
The cannon shot out of the barrel and hit the crowd of Kashima defenders who were charging.
How can a body of flesh and blood collide head-on with a solid iron ball that has no emotion?
After the cannonball landed in the crowd, it bounced up and down several times, taking away four or five lives.
The Fran cannon is a mother-and-child cannon, and reloading is faster than ordinary cannons.
After the gunner fired a cannon, he immediately lifted the sub-cannon out of the barrel with a hook, picked up another sub-cannon on the side and put it into the barrel, and then fired again.
Three shots were fired in a row.
The gunner stopped after all three loaded sub-cannons were fired.
"The general is dead, the general is dead!" Someone among the officers and soldiers suddenly shouted.
Many soldiers had been killed and injured under the shelling, and now even the general was dead. The last courage of the officers and soldiers fell away, and they changed from charging forward to killing and fleeing back.
There was a mud hut at the back, and the few officers and soldiers closest to the hut hid directly inside.
Without the general, other officers and soldiers were not in the mood to fight against the people of the Tiger Flag. They had no advantage. The Tiger Flag also had artillery, so many officers and soldiers simply chose to surrender.
"Let all the prisoners squat down with their heads in their hands and throw the weapons in their hands into the middle." The captain of the thousand-man team said to a squadron leader under his command.
A squadron of soldiers went to receive the prisoners.
The remaining soldiers gathered around the earthen house in front and captured those officers and soldiers who escaped.
The battle ended quickly. The Tiger Flag just opened the distance and fired a few shots, which destroyed the last bit of courage of the officers and soldiers to fight, and directly captured more than 200 prisoners.
"Captain, this is the body of Kashima Guardsman Shen Shikui." The squadron leader who went to capture the soldiers had someone carry a slightly mutilated body to the captain of the Thousand-Man Team.
After being shot, the body was naturally damaged.
The captain of the thousand-man team took a look at the armor and stomach worn on the corpse. It was different from ordinary officers and soldiers. To ensure that he was not mistaken, he asked again, "Are you sure it is Shen Shikui?"
"My subordinates have checked with several officers and soldiers, and it is Shen Shikui." said the squadron leader.
The captain of the thousand-man team said: "He is also a hero who killed slave thieves. Find a place to bury him!"
The tiger-shaped flag does not count military achievements based on the number of heads, and since we are both Han Chinese, and there is no deep hatred, there is no need to cut off the heads and abandon the bodies.
In addition to Shen Shikui, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were killed on the spot by shelling.
The bodies of these officers and soldiers were taken away together, a big pit was dug, and they were buried together with Shen Shikui's body.
Although Shen Shikui was a military commander of the Ming Dynasty in Dongjiang Town when he was alive, in the eyes of the people of Tiger Character Banner, these corpses had only one identity: the Ming army.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who hid in the house were quickly captured.
Ludao is a small island, surrounded by the sea. The soldiers of the Ming army also knew that they could not escape at all, so they might as well surrender as soon as possible. After all, they were both Han people and they were not slaves.
When the last Ming soldier was captured, a register began to be made of these people. At the same time, all supplies on the island also needed to be checked and registered in the register.
"Wang Tiedan, your squadron will stay and be stationed at Ludao. I will leave you with half of the prisoners to replenish your squadron." The captain of the Thousand-Man Squadron said to one of his squadron captains.
After taking Kashima, they didn't stay too long. Except for a squadron of more than a hundred soldiers who stayed behind, the other soldiers escorted the remaining prisoners back to the ship.
The geographical location of Ludao is very close to Pi Island, but far away from Lushun, and is far less important than Changshan Island and Guanglu Island.
The fleet that stayed at sea set off again.
"Next are Shicheng Island and Wangjiashan Island. Shicheng Island is larger and Wangjiashan Island is smaller." Zhao Wu held a chart in his hand and said to Zheng Chao who was sitting at the same table.
Zheng Chao looked up and said, "What do you mean?"
"I want to attack Shicheng Island first." Zhao Wu pointed at Shicheng Island on the chart and said, "As far as I know, this island is suitable for living and has a large area. In addition to the garrison, there are also many people from Liaodong. People live on the island.”
