Sure enough, those big shields tilted slightly, and there were gaps in the formation. The cracks were shining with the light of arrows, and the Jiannu soldiers could even hear the tense sound of bowstrings being pulled apart.

At this critical moment, the slave soldier leader hurriedly shouted: "Raise your shield!"

Jin Shiqi and the Ming army were too despicable. They used the tactics of the boat division, shooting at close range from across the boat. In this case, the slave soldiers had no way to retreat and could only resist with their shields. Unfortunately, the military commander forgot: in their formation

There were only 10 people holding shields. Those soldiers had already raised their shields to block them, and the other 290 slave soldiers were exposed to bows and arrows.

The distance is only 20 steps away! Even Jin Shiqi could hit two out of five arrows at this distance, let alone these 100 archers selected from hundreds of volunteers who signed up enthusiastically!

Hundreds of bows fired!

Five feet above the ice sea, the air was slashed by hundreds of sharp arrows!

The sound of arrows tearing through the air was concentrated in one place, making a "boom" explosion. The array of slave soldiers on the pontoon roared, and someone immediately fell to the bridge and rolled into the icy water.

"Shoot at the end of the team!" Jin Shiqi roared.

He gave the order long before he entered the bridge. Half of the archers in front only shot at the rear of the team, blocking the enemy's back road and making them unable to retreat. Jin Shiqi squatted in the formation with his shield on his back, the sound of bows and arrows in his ears.

The sound was endless, and at first it was shot in waves, and then it became intertwined. The bowstrings whistled, and the arrows made a shrill sound!

Jin Shiqi originally wanted to be an impressive archer, and he had some qualifications... Later, Master Tian euphemistically said: The arrows on the island are limited, and we must try our best to save them. Major General, are you right?

Now he is so envious! Especially those superb archers, such as Master Tian who was shooting wildly above his head. The old guy grabbed five arrows at a time and held them in his left hand. With one wrong finger, he put them on the bow.

, it shot out in a flash, without any frugality at all.

After several rounds of shooting, the slave soldiers on the opposite side suffered heavy casualties.

These people who were sent to the pontoon were originally poorly trained infantry archers and rarely had armor. Therefore, as long as they hit, they would either die or be injured. As soon as the battle broke out, they began to run away, and some slave soldiers were still resisting - shooting arrows randomly.

They came over, hoping to hit the gap in the shield. But the wooden shield here was thick and wide, and until the end of the battle, only a few people were hit by arrows. Among the slave soldiers, those who resisted tenaciously were all shot to death.

This was a one-sided killing.

The enemy soldiers who built the slaves left the corpses on the ground and the remaining soldiers swarmed away. There were nearly a hundred slave soldiers dying, rolling, and struggling in the water on the pontoon.

Jin Shiqi was overjoyed that the raid was really successful! Their arrows flew away and they chased the slave soldiers for more than a hundred steps. Then there was a burst of howling and laughing, and they raised their bows and shields high!

"Let them know that the pontoon is ours!"

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

Someone else shouted: "Look behind me!"

On the shore behind, hundreds of soldiers and civilians were also cheering and shouting. The sound was floating on the ice sea, and I was afraid it could be transmitted all the way to Juehua Island. This feeling seemed to be that after all the humiliation, it finally came to an end.

Dexue. Jin Shiqi stared at the bloody floating bridge 20 steps away and growled: "I really want to get on it!"

But that's too dangerous.

If the pontoons were pushed together, they would be damaged by the collision, and the men would fall into the water together, which would be too tragic. Also, the Jiannu heavy infantry on the opposite side had already rumbled over. If the pontoons got stuck together, they would be hit instead.

It would be a tragedy to chase him all the way to his lair...

There were also soldiers who were unwilling to throw out ropes and hooks. After struggling for a long time, they finally pulled out the floating corpses of two slave soldiers and beheaded them. After such a long time of fighting, Jin Shiqi finally achieved two small achievements.

After so many days of experience, I could just glance at this kind of thing like picking up corpses and beheadings. This era is really a trial...

Jin Shiqi gave the order, and the sailors behind waved flags to the shore. The team of thousands of people pulled the reins and dragged the pontoon back dozens of steps, slowly rushing towards the hard ice area.

…

The warriors set foot on Zhangshan Island again.

There is no need to elaborate on how the soldiers and civilians celebrated, how they sighed, how excited they were, how painful and sad they were, and how Jin Shiqi hugged Miss Moer tightly in public. With the remaining power of this first victory, Jin Shiqi immediately summoned everyone

General, reorganize the army on the island.

Zha Yingcai has the highest military position among the camps on the island and is still the chief general. Jin Shiqi is the commander-in-chief of Tongzhiqian. There are only 50 private soldiers in the Jin Mansion who are still capable of fighting, and Jin Shiqi personally leads them. In front of the general's tent, Longwu Shui rises

The military flag of the division is in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the Zhangshan Island. All the troops under the division are divided into "front, rear, left, right and center" according to the practice of the Ming army, and five-color flags are assigned. The list is as follows -

Front team: Jin Shijun leads the infantry, mainly the sailors of Longwu Battalion, supplemented by a few elite soldiers from other ministries, totaling 600 people. Holding the red flag.

Squadron: Tian Shuguang (Master Tian) led the archers and musketeers, and summoned 300 archers and musketeers from various battalions and units on the island. They held the yellow flag.

Rear team: Wei Guangliang (General Wei Bai) led the labor and troops, with 300 Denglai sailors as the backbone, and recruited 700 craftsmen and servants, a total of 1,000 people. They held the black flag.

Left and right teams: with the two generals of Longwu Middle Camp (i.e. Commander Qian in the Navy) as the chief officers, Feng Hu and Feng Xiong as the adjutants. Based on the original supervising team, the troops from various divisions in Liaodong were expanded to recruit 700 light infantrymen each.

.Holding green flag and white flag respectively.

In addition, General Hou of Longwu Right Camp summoned 2,000 strong men to guard the food supplies and maintain order in the private camp.

With this arrangement, all the sergeants on the island were gathered under the control of the original Jin Guan forces, especially the most elite, more than 1,000 people, who were under the command of Jin Shiqi's private soldiers.

Another hidden trick of Jin Shiqi is to temporarily freeze the rights of Feng Hu and Feng Xiong through "expansion". During today's half-day battle, the performance of the red and blue teams made Jin Shiqi very dissatisfied. The two teams shrank.

They avoid war and occasionally commit atrocities among the people. It seems that they can only serve as military police to maintain order, not as elite soldiers.

The knowledge and abilities of the Feng brothers are still limited, and they are still far from the requirements of "officers". Even in this classical era, officers in the battalion cannot be promoted directly from the soldiers. They must read military books to understand strategy and be loyal to the emperor.

To serve the country, you must know the military rules and regulations. The officers at the level of Qian Zong are at least from the military service level. And half of the generals at the general level are from the military service level. If the Feng brothers want to be the commander-in-chief, they still need to practice for a while. At this moment

Asking them to serve as adjutants to the two presidents would not be considered as wronging them.

The most important thing about Jin Shiqi is that he still respects Cha Yingcai as the main general.

Although everyone in the army refers to him as "Young General", and the island praises his achievements and majesty, Jin Shiqi is cautious by nature, and he knows that the army pays special attention to military ranks. Cha Ying is an officer awarded by the Ministry of War, and he makes his own decisions

Cannot be exceeded.

In addition, he is also self-aware and knows that his two brushes are not reliable. Although they occasionally have miraculous effects, they are hard skills with real swords and guns in the military formation. He himself... at least at the moment, he really does not have the ability to command thousands of armies.

ability.

After the troops were reorganized, Cha Yingcai convened everyone to discuss the defense of the isolated island.

Cha Yingcai analyzed the old thief Nu Er Ha Chi. He attacked Juehua Island to completely annihilate the main force of the Longwu Navy. Now he has defeated more than half of them. To the old slave, these soldiers and civilians on Zhangshan Island are like

It's worthless. If we give up, the victory will not be satisfactory. If we attack by force, the value will be limited. (Jin Shiqi secretly said: This is wrong, sir, I am very valuable!) In order to capture our little island, they are willing to pay about five hundred people.

The cost is up to a thousand people.

In addition, the consumption of the more than 100,000 troops was very huge, and they could not afford to delay it. Therefore, if there was a decisive battle, it could only take place within a day or two...

Jin Shiqi secretly said: War is really terrible and sad. My head is being put on the scales and calculated...

As for the enemy's attack method, it is estimated that they will still use the pontoon bridge as a base to launch a frontal force attack.

The stronger side on the battlefield often adopts the simplest and direct method of frontal attack to maximize its military advantage. Therefore, the place to meet the enemy should be from Zhangshan to the ice field facing the north.

Afterwards, Zha Yingcai discussed with the officers how to drag the pontoon bridge onto the hard ice and cut it into two sections to form a "V" shape toward the sea facing the north. The pontoon bridge would then become a plank road.

Use it to quickly dispatch troops. There are also defense areas for each team, patrol routes, how to support each other, etc.

Jin Shiqi was a little confused after hearing this, and finally waited until the meeting was over, and followed Mr. Wei Bai (now he was in charge of more than a thousand people, considered a temporary boss) to the patrol team.

…

Lao Wei's team was responsible for transportation and construction, and the main members of the team were all Denglai sailors from Shandong. The Longwu Navy focused on transportation and land warfare, while the Denglai Navy focused more on naval warfare. That year in Korea

He made great achievements on the battlefield.

Only when he walked into the camp did Jin Shiqi realize that the navy's equipment was so complicated. It turned out that China has a vast territory with many rivers, and water wars occur frequently. In addition to the various types of ships, there are also all kinds of ship-attacking and killing instruments, all of which are vicious.

Very good. Now the Denglai sailors are gathering craftsmen, cutting down trees and sawing wood, and starting to build pattern machinery.

The big pole is modified from a five-foot-long mast. It is a long pole set on the ground with a wooden "hammer head" on it. As long as the rope is released, it can be flipped down suddenly. The force of the hammer can even

Can penetrate the deck.

In Jin Shiqi's eyes, the wood-throwing cannon is more like a trebuchet. But it throws a large wood cannon with a cable behind it. It can be thrown repeatedly and is very environmentally friendly. The wood can be thrown as far as 30 steps.

In addition, it can also penetrate the deck with a smash.

The pole is a lever through and through. One end is short and thick and tied with a weight-bearing stone, and the other end is made of multiple bamboo poles tied into a length of five feet, with iron hooks and barbs on it. Because the two sides are balanced, it can be used left or right

Rotating across the deck of the ship...

There is also a ladder, and there is an arrow tower with folding rafters in front. If it is raised high, it can shoot down the deck of the enemy ship. If it is extended forward, the sailors can step on the ladder to rush onto the deck of the enemy ship.

Finally, there are some instruments used by individual soldiers, which are not aimed at the deck of enemy ships. For example, a three-foot-long hook and sickle gun, a fire-breathing pump, a large crossbow with two bows combined, and boxes of fire bricks. These things are used

A mixture of gunpowder, rosin, and sulfur, it is the most powerful weapon for burning enemy ships.

Jin Shiqi grabbed a fire brick and said happily: "I finally found what I like!"

Seeing a group of sailors and craftsmen busy at work, he was determined to make a difference.
Chapter completed!
