Behind the rocks on the beach of Zhangshan Island, hundreds of arrows flew together! With traces of flames, they pulled out streaks of smoke and dust and shot toward the sea.

"Choke me to death!" Jin Shiqi screamed and ran out. The thick smoke behind him was filled with the smell of nitrate and sulfur. Although his feet were panicked, his eyes were still fixed on the hundreds of arrow marks. They were whistling in the cold wind.

Then it went away, pulling up a long rainbow of smoke and dust, which finally fell on the pontoon.

Hit!

The crowd on the coast was so excited that some soldiers shouted out that the Ming Dynasty was mighty and ran out wildly.

Jin Shiqi frowned - the spread area of ​​​​the rockets was too large. Hundreds of rockets flew nearly 200 steps, and the trajectories were messy and mixed. Some flew horizontally, while others spiraled into the sky, and finally spread on the sea.

The bridge was 30 steps wide. Jin Shiqi stared closely at the movements on the pontoon - the slave soldiers were in a commotion, but no one fell into the water.

It is estimated that only a dozen arrows landed on the pontoon bridge, and the number of enemy soldiers hit was in single digits.

This fire show only had a slight frightening effect. Not long after, the enemy began to shoot arrows in an orderly manner. The soldiers who had just run out screamed, turned around and fled back.

Several Longwu sailors carried two more arrow boxes, but Jin Shiqi held them down: This "hundred tigers" still need some training and can't go up now.

…

At this moment, soldiers from all over the island were gathered.

The terrain of Zhangshan Island is a large and gentle hill. There are sparse trees scattered on the island, and there is an abandoned beacon tower in the center.

Feng Xiong's gang was unable to supervise the battle, but they were very skilled in catching and killing people. They drove the soldiers to gather in the forest. There were groups of soldiers everywhere in the forest: the sailors were scarred, and the private soldiers were seriously injured.

All the defeated soldiers had desolate faces and dull eyes. Even the officers took off their armor and sighed. Some civilian men were also driven over, their eyes trembling with tears.

Jin Shiqi separated from everyone and walked towards the center of the forest.

His heart was beating wildly. Since he came to this era, he was climbing a new mountain at this moment. In his mind, he quickly recalled how the heroic characters in the movie should speak generously, how to raise their arms and shout, how to lead thousands of troops to defend

Home and Earth... But in the end he shook his head helplessly: "No, I can't say so many words!"

Jin Shiqi stood on the dilapidated beacon tower, with a crowd of soldiers in front of him. The largest number of people he had directly faced before was less than 200 people in three classes in the open class. In front of him were ten times the number of soldiers, with living faces.

, living people. And I will order them to... die!

Jin Shiqi took off his iron helmet and shouted: "I will just say three words!"

His voice was short, strong, and with appropriate pauses, thousands of people cast their eyes on him. Jin Shiqi roared——

"I am General Qian Jin Shiqi, and I built that floating bridge."

"I can bring you to the island, and I can also take you out."

"Brothers, if we survive for a few days, we will win! If we cannot survive, we will all die together!"

"I'm done."

The scene was completely silent. The only sounds in the forest were the raging sea breeze, and arrows falling on the beach behind.

"No, I haven't finished talking yet." Jin Shiqi shouted again: "Now, I want to gather warriors, a hundred shield bearers and a hundred archers! I will take them to the bridge to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds! A total of two

Hundreds of places, no waiting after expiration!"

"Now we're done." Jin Shiqi waved his hand, "Start the registration!"

Although this speech was simple, the effect was remarkable. Soldiers immediately gathered in the forest and lined up on the left and right of Jin Shiqi. First it was brothers Feng Hu and Feng Xiong, and then more soldiers lined up randomly one after another... Jin Shiqi waited for a long time and finally got together. He recruited 20 archers and 45 shield bearers, half of whom were his own private soldiers...

Jin Shiqi cursed secretly: "Damn you! You are an island of cowards!"

He jumped onto the beacon tower and said, "We still have the last ten spots left, so hurry up!"

It was still calm in the woods.

Scattered on the ground, about 10 more soldiers finally came up. Most of them were still soldiers from Jinfu, and the rest were also Longwu sailors. Almost every one of them was injured, and one stood in the "Archer Team" "The man in the back has his eyes covered with bandages. There is a shield hand next to him. He has no hands at all.

Jin Shiqi waited for a while, but no one came out.

Of the three thousand soldiers on the island, less than a hundred dared to stand up! Those 2,900 people were hiding silently in the woods, with their heads lowered, standing in the shadows, trembling at the thought of the ferocity of the slave soldiers.

Feng Xiong, the black-haired man couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped out from the team and roared: "Straight bitches! You are all trash with rotten pants and no balls! The major general is going to fight for his life. If you are a man, follow him! You You're going to die here! You bastard!"

The whole forest could only be heard shouting from that loud voice, but no one dared to come out.

Feng Xiong became furious, and he started to pull people away. The people who were directly arrested were his soldiers in the supervising team. Seeing this, everyone retreated and hid, and there were still people sneaking away outside the forest...

Jin Shiqi's heart was bleeding, and he thought angrily: "Damn it, if I had known this, I would have taken Mo'er smuggled across the border, and now I'm afraid he's gone to Beijing! What the hell am I talking about!" But at this moment he had no way to retreat. , I could only say to myself: "Okay, okay, let's just stand like this, freezing to death here. When the Jiannu invaders land on the beach, we will be disgusted to death!"

But at this moment, someone finally came up again.

He was a seriously wounded man with half his body bandaged. He pushed past his followers and staggered to the end of the "shield bearer" column.

He is the garrison of Longwu Middle Camp, and the highest military officer on the island at the moment, Cha Yingcai.

Jin Shiqi's tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, "Brother Cha! You... you are hurt like this..."

Zha Yingcai smiled and said: "My left arm is still good and I can still hold the shield!"

Immediately afterwards, another person was carried over by the servants, enduring the pain and standing at the end of the "Archer Team"!

"Shijun!" Jin Shiqi choked. His brother's legs were seriously injured and he could hardly walk.

Shijun said calmly: "Brother, I will go with you. I am the best in the world in archery while sitting down!"

Jin Shiqi shouted: "Okay, I'll carry you on my back! Just like when I was a child!"

"You didn't even carry me on your back when I was a kid!"

"You are only seventeen years old!" Jin Shiqi choked and shouted, "It's not too late for me to carry you!"

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wei Bai and Master Tian walked into the team one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the sailors and officers all followed up and stood in the team. The actions of these people triggered a wonderful mechanism. Immediately afterwards, soldiers from Long Wu and Denglai followed, and the forest seemed to be swimming in stagnant water. The waves started to rise and turned into a frenzy in an instant.

People stood up one after another and ran over from behind the trees and camps. There seemed to be a stormy sea on the island, and almost all the soldiers crowded in front of Jin Shiqi!

There were even civilians, the men who had fled in panic on Juehua Island and were robbed, killed and slaughtered. They also rushed over with their bare hands. At this moment, they were no longer lambs, but a pack of wolves.

Even old men and even women flocked to Jin Shiqi's feet, "I can't shoot a bow, but I can carry a shield!" "I can't carry a shield, but I can charge out with a spear!" "I can't carry a shield!"

I can’t even hold the spear firmly, but I am willing to follow the general and charge forward!”…

Jin Shiqi stood on a high platform, thousands of soldiers and civilians had gathered in front of him, and it was no longer possible to tell who was the shield bearer and who was the archer. He waved his hand to silence everyone, and shouted: "Just three words!

"

“Now, let’s go and tell the enemy that there is Ming’s army on this island!”….

"We want the enemy to know that the pontoon bridge belongs to us!"

"No matter how many enemies step onto this floating bridge, they will all be killed on that bridge!"

"I'm done!" Jin Shiqi's face was filled with tears. He turned around and pointed to the coast to the north, "Do it!"

…

On the pontoon, Jiannu had already rotated the fourth batch of archers.

The slave-building soldiers came slowly and stood carefully on the pontoon bridge, which was more than 100 steps long. There were more than 70 rows in front and back, with 4 people in each row. This density was the limit that the pontoon bridge could bear.

Surrounded by a vast sea of ​​ice, the waves surged beneath their feet, constantly rushing through the gaps in the raft onto their boots. They were a little nervous at first, but after all, they had been riding and shooting all year round, and they had gradually adapted to the bumps.

As the team leader ordered the shooting to begin, the soldiers engaged in familiar operations and gradually calmed down.

The mission of this group of shooters is to control the half of the pontoon bridge and suppress the Ming army. When the army behind is ready, they will launch a full-scale attack. The broken bridge on Zhangshan Island is only more than 100 steps long, and it was pulled to tilt near the shore.

In the icy water, where the pontoon bridge broke, the width of the crack was no more than 40 steps.

Suddenly, the Jian Nu Gong leader's eyes widened: a barrier was slowly being pushed out from the forest on the island opposite!

That's a shield formation!

The shields were extremely tall and completely covered the bodies of the shield soldiers. They formed an airtight wall and were slowly pushing towards the ice. Then groups of strong men and soldiers came from behind and headed towards the pontoon bridge.

The edge rushes away.

The Jiannu Council Leader has been looking forward to this for a long time: "I'm just waiting for you!"

After giving the order, the 300 soldiers behind immediately began to shoot arrows at full load, and the arrows fell on the beach like a heavy rain.

On the coast, the front row of 100 shield soldiers hid their bodies tightly behind their shields, and the shields were poked with arrows. These shields were all improvised - some were double-layered shields with upper and lower panels, and some were simply shields.

Large pieces of shipboard were nailed together, and the shields were even removed directly from the carriage. Jin Shiqi, who led the team, was actually carrying a teak rudder. With the handles and shoulder straps, it became a trapezoidal shield. It was tall.

It is six feet wide and two feet wide and weighs 80 kilograms.

100 shields, overlapping into two rows, were slowly pushed to the pontoon bridge.

"Put up the shield!" Jin Shiqi roared. The soldiers behind him also roared, and some people were also thinking: What does this strange word "up the shield" mean? In the camp, they only heard "raise the shield, stand up the shield, raise the shield"

", I have never heard of "ding"...

On the opposite side, the slave soldiers on the pontoon had just fired a pot of arrows. However, they saw the shield array moving slowly, spreading like an armored snake, and actually climbed onto the cut-off bridge. The slave soldiers did not waste arrows on those shield arrays.

Instead, he began to shoot from a long distance at the soldiers and strong men who filled the coast.

Groups of soldiers and civilians on the coast were equipped with only a few shields. They braved the rain of arrows and used cables to pull the broken bridge that was a hundred steps long.

Some people were hit by arrows and fell down, but they fearlessly shouted slogans, pulled hundreds of cables to the left and right, and desperately moved the half of the pontoon. Seeing that the pontoon was slowly rotating on the water like a crocodile, the fracture

is gradually shrinking.
