Feng Wanli did not stop Jiang Wan and Fo Langji from boarding the ship.
But he couldn't leave. He was a military attaché. If he was too timid to get on the Francois' ship, his whole life's future would be over if even one person returned alive today.
Jiang Wan said that he could get the Fo Lang robots to fire artillery to support them, so Jiang Wan's ship of the Fo Lang robots was not called cowardice, but in his mind, it was called collusion with friendly forces. Especially Jiang Wan, General Xing Sheng
The gold he brought, as well as the young followers around him, were handed over to him without hesitation, and he didn't have any doubts at all.
"It's up to you!" He patted Jiang Wan's shoulder gently and put him on the boat. He knew in his heart that all the lives of these people here depended on Fo Langji.
There are only more than a hundred soldiers on such an island, but they cannot withstand a charge by the Tatar cavalry. Hundreds of soldiers and horses on the shore are gone, not to mention these more than a hundred remaining soldiers!
Jiang Wan did not look back at them. When he looked at them again, they were already on the "Princess", the armed merchant ship of the Franco family. Catherine and the Franco family on the ship were negotiating hurriedly. Soon
, her will was carried out, not only this ship, but also another one slowly came over, joined this ship, and pointed its gun muzzle at Mopan Island in front of it.
Several Francois were mumbling something. Jiang Wan looked at them doubtfully, and Catherine translated for him in a low voice.
"They said that they save the effort of aiming and just raise the muzzle a little. Moreover, both captains said that since you have paid enough remuneration, they are waiting for your order to fire at any time!"
"I owe you a favor!" Jiang Wan said in a low voice.
Catherine blushed slightly, but shook her head: "Business is business, and favors are favors. Once you pay, you are the employer, and they should listen to you!"
"No, I mean, let me get on the ship!" Jiang Wan smiled at him: "Although I don't understand, I can guess what you said to the captain, and I'm very grateful!"
"The enemy is coming!" Catherine turned her head and pointed to the island in the distance, avoiding the topic.
Jiang Wan followed her finger and looked over, only to see that the remnant soldiers who had retreated from the shore had merged with the Jin Yiwei, and hundreds of steps away from them, the Tatar cavalry was slowly gathering.
.
"With so many cavalry, they are afraid that they will be washed into the sea in one round!"
Even people like Catherine, who did not understand military affairs, could see the disparity in power. People on the shore knew even better that when the Tatar cavalry gathered into formation and began to charge, it would be a matter of life and death.
"Is this distance within the range of the ship's cannon?" Jiang Wan asked.
"Such a distance is certainly within the range, but if the enemy is closer and denser, the damage will be greater!" Catherine replied after listening to the captain's explanation.
"Then follow my orders and prepare to fire!"
Jiang Wan knew it well. In addition to a bow gun, there were four six-pound cannons on the ship. The other ship was said to be similar, which meant that a salvo could fire ten shells. If the gunners on the ship loaded quickly enough,
If so, when the Tatar cavalry rushes in front of the Ming army, they should be able to fight for two or three rounds.
The Tatar cavalry on the shore finally began to move slowly. Their queue slowly moved forward. It was obviously a trot before exerting force.
Jiang Wan silently counted the numbers in her heart. When she almost reached ten, she saw the cavalry in her sight increasing their speed.
"Now, fire!"
He shouted loudly, and in an instant, he found that he couldn't even hear his own voice. The whole world was drowned in an earth-shattering loud noise. He couldn't help but open his mouth, and then his ears
Feel better.
Catherine who was beside him tightly plugged her ears with her fingers as soon as he opened his mouth to fire. Seeing Jiang Wan's mouth wide open, she burst into laughter.
The whistling artillery shells passed over the heads of the Ming army and directly hit the cavalry coming towards them. Almost instantly, the several cavalry rushing at the front, their bodies and the horses under their crotches,
It exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a bang. At such a distance, the cannonballs carrying huge kinetic energy would destroy everything that stood in their way, whether it was rocks, rubble, or flesh and blood.
The chain bullets with iron chains were flying rapidly in the air. The iron chain connecting the two shells was like an indestructible steel blade. Wherever it went, everything was cut in half.
Feng Wanli opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at everything in front of him. He had never experienced the Battle of Ningyuan, and had never seen how artillery destroyed the cavalry. However, the grand scene of the two Folangji gunboats behind him opening fire at the same time.
, still shocked him, he was almost ready to die here, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that maybe this was the meaning of his coming to Liaodong.
It is on the battlefield that the greatest achievements can be made.
"Formation, formation!"
He shouted loudly, and the Tatar cavalry still broke through the artillery fire and came towards them, but at this moment, he no longer had the slightest fear in his heart. If so, he would still die under the Tatar's hoofs.
Then, just die!
The remaining soldiers raised their shields and spears, and the dozen or so knights who rushed in front of them slammed into their shields, and even rushed directly into the crowd. However, their momentum ended here, and countless
With long swords and spears, he rushed towards them. The cavalry made several hard chops before being stabbed down by the spears. Then, he fell to the ground and was greeted by a flurry of knives.
The sound of artillery continued. After charging hard for a while, the Tatar cavalry finally began to rein in their horses and ran towards the back. In just a few minutes, the death line formed by more than ten artillery pieces was
, has left the battlefield littered with corpses.
They may not be afraid of death, but they are not willing to die under such a weapon that cannot even see the enemy's shadow.
Those who were brave, lucky, and lucky enough to break through the blockade died at the hands of the Ming army on the opposite side, which had a huge disparity in power. They were not willing to do so.
"Can you continue to raise the muzzle?" Jiang Wan shouted loudly: "Chase them and fight..."
On the shore, the Ming army looked at the Tatar cavalry who turned around and ran away, and they all cheered: "Run away, they ran away..."
Feng Wanli looked at the Tatar cavalry and artillery fire that were gradually retreating, and was hesitating whether to pursue them. However, a group of people behind him rushed out without fear of death: "Kill the Tatars..."
Someone took the lead, and almost everyone moved subconsciously. Feng Wanli no longer hesitated and raised the long knife in his hand: "To make great achievements, just now, come against me..."
