Chapter 203: Attack
Daxieishu Island, also known as Changdao in later generations, has the longest location of 7.22 kilometers, the widest location is about 4 kilometers, and the island area is 12.8 square kilometers. Currently, there are more than 1,000 ordinary people on the island, more than 5,000 people, and some of the partial navy troops stationed in the island, with more than 7,000 people.
This is also the fact that the land wars were plagued by many people on the island before, so so many people were squeezed to take refuge.
At this moment, as the vanguard army, Gao Mingshi immediately attacked Daxieshi Island again after receiving the order from Zuer Beye.
Dongdongdongdong······The heavy and rhythmic drums kept stimulating the morale of the soldiers. All the simple docks on the island had been burned, so the landing location I chose was a shallow dock.
The garrison on the island had long prevented the Mongols' plans, so they also arranged troops to watch on the shallows.
When sampan boats floated from the sea, Guo Liang, deputy general of the Dengzhou Navy, had already received a message from the soldiers below, and led a large group of troops to be on the island.
When the sampan was about to approach the beach, Guo Liang immediately ordered an archery!
Then he listened: "Let me go!"
Wow, swow, swow, swow, and... the sound of breaking through the air was heard in full swing. For a moment, the sky on the beach was darkened.
Gao Mingshi, who was commanding the troops on the warships in the rear, couldn't help but feel nervous. Although he had expected that this strong attack would be damaged, he could not help but feel worried about it when he saw it with his own eyes.
The Eastern Mongolian soldiers who prepared in advance all raised wooden signs of arrows. After protecting important parts, they still rushed to the beach with all their might.
Unfortunately, even though they were fully prepared, soldiers were still injured and fell into the water. Some of the arrows shot were burning. When they landed on the wooden boat, clusters of small flames suddenly ignited. If they didn't care, it would easily turn into a big fire.
Fortunately, the wind and waves on the sea provided assistance to the soldiers of Eastern Mongolia! Although wind and waves can easily cause unstable ships, they also accelerated the speed of ships.
So in half a stick of incense, about a thousand landing troops rushed to the beach in advance.
Some soldiers immediately took out the fire tubes wrapped in oily skin in their arms. Although there were not many, one for each person. If they were ignited at the same time, they could also form a scale.
But Guo Liang would not give the Mongolians time to prepare!
The archers took turns to the field, making many Mongolian soldiers who had just stepped onto the beach become hedgehogs.
"Big bull!"
"Ergou!"
"That day picture!"
"Puanshan!"
Seeing the brothers who were working with him just now fall down, many soldiers suddenly had their eyes shattered. They wished they could rush into the enemy array immediately to avenge their brothers.
"Everyone should protect me!" Centurion Zhang Quan felt sorry for his brothers in a queue who died or injured more than half of them at once, but he still endured his grief and directed his still alive brothers to protect himself so that he could fight back successfully.
Then he saw that the still alive soldiers used corpses, ships, wooden boards and other coverings to block them. At the same time, they lit the fire tube in their hands and began to fight back.
Whoosh... Boom...
When the first fireboat exploded, the sound of fireboats in groups of three or three was also exploded.
Because they had never been in contact with fire tubes before and had never fought with the soldiers of Eastern Mongolia, the enemy did not know how powerful the fire tubes were. Especially this modified fire tube, which had a louder sound and was more intimidating to some enemy troops who had heard of it for the first time.
Although the number of times that can be stimulated has decreased, it has enhanced the lethality. The broken nails and porcelain pieces can be shot out each time. One is not to be careful of the consequences of scratches and bleeding.
Even if the armor is worn, it is impossible to protect all parts of the body. Moreover, as an army of rioters, the armor of the troops stationed on the island is not considered excellent. Even because of the corruption of the superiors, the antique armor brought out of the Jin Dynasty's treasury has been greatly reduced due to inadequate maintenance.
After seeing his position showing panic due to the Mongols' fire, Guo Liang immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat a hundred meters.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, soldiers from East Mongolia stepped up their landing and rework to seize the beachhead.
Gao Mingshi immediately added one thousand troops again, be sure to defeat the enemy and gain a firm foothold on the island.
At this time, a huge fleet of ships was slowly coming on the sea west of Daxieshi Island. The big word "Li" was floating on the mast of its sailboat.
When Li Fu learned that the enemy was attacking Daxie Shu Island with all his might, he ordered people to drive the ship with all his might. Because Daxie Shu Island is the most important nail on the sea surface of Dengzhou!
As long as Daxie Shu Island was not taken down, the Mongols would not dare to attack Dengzhou with all their might. So no matter what, he had to keep Daxie Shu Island.
At the same time, Zuer Beetye's boat was transferred to Daxiei Island!
The key to this battle in Dengzhou is whether the Dengzhou Navy can be destroyed. In that case, the Western Army waiting at Dalian Port can set off with peace of mind. Ulaanbari has many communication with Zuer, and every word urges him to gain a foothold in Dengzhou so that the Western Army, which has been waiting for many days, can quickly rush to the battlefield.
After all, this is the first battle of the Western Army! The whole army has been impatient.
When he arrived at Daxie Shu Island, Zuer also got good news. With Gao Mingshi paying more than 1,600 casualties, the soldiers of Eastern Mongolia finally gained a foothold on the beach.
However, due to insufficient troops, there was no spare time to sweep the entire island.
"Okay! This is a great achievement! You send General Gao the order to guard the tidal flat position, and the enemy troops on the island are not in a hurry to wipe out."
Although he didn't understand why the general spoke like this, the soldier who sent the order did not have the courage to ask what the above meant. He just retreated solemnly and quickly sent the order.
When he received the news, Gao Mingshi was still a little puzzled at first, but when he learned that the main force of the Dengzhou Navy was coming with all his might, he immediately understood the meaning of Zuer Beetye.
Obviously, the general was planning to fish with the enemy troops on the island!
If even the bait is gone, the main force of the Dengzhou Navy will turn around and run away.
Even so, my side is easily attacked by both sides in the early stage and under great pressure. But this is also a complete military merit!
And he believed that the general would never see his troops completely destroyed.
After all, the navy's foundation is still too thin. If it is lost half of it, it will be really a damaging move for the navy.
With this idea, Gao Mingshi asked most of the soldiers below to go ashore and temporarily rest on the position. At the same time, he sent a small boat to inquire about the enemy's movements nearby.
This slowdown also made the enemy's tense nerves looser. Only Guo Liang felt that the Mongolians' approach was a bit strange, but he couldn't think of some problems for a while.
