Chapter 426
It's still raining.

Running wildly all the way, the Houjin people, who were originally quite glamorous, have turned into clay figurines.

Huang Taiji stopped at the mouth of a mountain. Here, the sound of artillery firing on the river could be clearly heard. Hearing the deafening sound of cannons, Huang Taiji's heart couldn't stop sinking, two hundred doors away The cannon, just more and less.

Huang Taiji was immediately in the rain, his body was soaked by the rain, watching the scene of Ming warships firing on the river in the distance, he couldn't say anything.

The continuous firing of cannons had already turned the faces of the Houjin people who followed them blue. Seeing Huang Taiji stop, they also stopped, and drove their horses forward, ready to see the scene of the cannon fire on the river.

The surface of the river has become very wide, and the water has become muddy. If it is the entire Yalu River, the surface of the river is several miles wide. Excluding the Jiangxin Island, the surface of the river is still one or two miles wide. The warships of the Ming Dynasty sailed on the surface of the river. Breaking through the waves, the muzzle of the black hole suddenly spewed out a puff of white smoke from time to time, making a loud noise that shook the sky.

The west bank of the Yalu River is already unstoppable.Countless cannons fired at the same time, and no flesh and blood could resist this terrifying thing. The so-called riding and shooting Fengjiang is just a joke.

Amin also arrived, and immediately went to the small col, standing on the col in a daze, watching the unscrupulous Ming Dynasty firing artillery on the river, the hostility on his face had been suppressed by the Ming Dynasty cannons, and the rest was shock, Afraid, it was the first time Amin saw the scene of two or three hundred cannons firing at the same time.

"Xiantai, Xiantai..." Huang Taiji shouted in the rain after being shocked.

"The servant is here!" Fan Wencheng hurriedly stepped forward and agreed.

"Don't we still have a few cannons? Why don't we fire them?" Huang Taiji looked at the Ming Dynasty warships on the river, and hundreds of cannons fired fiercely, and suddenly remembered the few cannons he had left.

"Hey, I'm going now." Fan Wencheng lowered his head and let the rain cover his face. In front of hundreds of cannons in the Ming Dynasty, what are those cannons in his hand?
Huang Taiji felt powerless again. This time, it seemed that he was doomed. Besides riding and shooting, Dajin was still riding and shooting. For others, he was just a layman. In today's rainy day, with so many warships, Encountered such a terrifying cannon salvo, there is no place to use it.

"Come here! Order Jiangxin Island to evacuate immediately..." Huang Taiji didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. At this moment, it's time to evacuate.

"No, we can't withdraw, we can't withdraw... If we withdraw, we will have nothing. If we withdraw, we will lose... Let the cannons of the Ming Dynasty fight, let them fight, order the people on Jiangxin Island, Let them disperse, as long as we get past, we can find a way..." Amin shouted wildly beside him.

Huang Taiji looked at Amin, who was already looking crazy, and said nothing, this person didn't take himself seriously at all, what he wanted to do was what he opposed, he deserved to die.

"...Okay, I will follow Erbeile's order and not evacuate for now..." Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, if this annoying thing is to die, it seems that some people have to die. With this annoying thing, he himself It is difficult to control the entire Daikin.It is extremely difficult to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

"...Come here, send an order, cut the rope, let the rolling log down, set the fire boat down..." Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, since his second brother wants to die, let him go, then suddenly remembered that he was in the middle of the river , also prepared fire boats and rolling logs.

"No, wait, wait, it's still early... Let the warships of the Ming Dynasty go up a little more, a little more, and let them go..." Amin said from the side.

Huang Taiji looked at Amin, with viciousness in his eyes.

The big and small Baylors who followed Huang Taiji crowded the small mountain depression, while the warships of the Ming Dynasty fired wantonly on the river, and the river was partially covered by bursts of white smoke.

"Report!" Another voice shouted.Huang Taiji looked back and saw Fan Wencheng running towards him in a state of embarrassment, his hat had been thrown somewhere, his body was covered in mud, and his face was pale.

"What's the matter? Xiandou, didn't Ben Khan tell you to fire?" Huang Taiji asked sharply.

"Back to the big sweat, those cannons have long been destroyed by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there are no living people on the side of the cannons..." Fan Wencheng said with a pale face. He just ran to the cannons and saw There are dead bodies all over the place and rags all over the place. This cannon position with only a few cannons seems to have been washed by hundreds of cannons. There are stumps and broken arms everywhere, blood everywhere, and broken cannons everywhere. Fan Wencheng, who looked so mighty, vomited.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, but her face became paler.

"How could it be! How could it be! . . . How could it be!"

Huang Taiji looked up and saw Amin muttering to himself.Looking at the river again, the rolling logs have already floated down the water. On the river, you can still see some "fire boats" floating down, but there is no fire on the fire boats, not even smoke. There were not many, and the rolling logs did not block the entire river in pieces, but a few, and a few drifted down, which could not form the effect of blocking the river at all.

"What's going on?" Huang Taiji asked anxiously.Didn't Amin say that it was still early, and he had to order it himself?Why are you floating down now?
"Khan, I guess it was the cannons of the Ming Dynasty that broke up those rolling logs piled up by the river..." A person next to him reminded.

Huang Taiji's face became even whiter.

……

On the warship on the river, Shang Kexi stood at the bow of the ship, high-spirited. The roar of the fleet behind him proved that the Tartars were completely vulnerable to this kind of artillery. At first, the Tartars wanted to rush up and shoot arrows, but after a few days After the round of cannons, there was no longer a living person to be seen, and all the living people had run away.

"Hahaha..., Shang, good news, Captain Rekaz said that they have shot down the Tartars' cannons, and next, they will open fire on the logs upstream of the Tartars to break them up, so that , the rolling logs will not block the waterway..." Peter was also crazily excited, he had just communicated with Captain Rekaz, and then told Shang Kexi the news.

"Okay..., Peter, this time, we are sure to win. You see, you see, the Tartars are nothing more than that. In front of so many of our cannons, the Tartars don't even dare to risk their heads..." Shang Fortunately, holding on to the railing, I let the rain fall on my body, and my whole body was filled with unspeakable ecstasy. The anxiety and waiting for many days finally paid off.

"...Yes, Shang, we won this time,..." Peter said with a big laugh.

"Wait, Peter, look, what's going on in that col? Why does it seem that there are a lot of people?" On the river bank, all the people who could move have disappeared, and they were all blasted to pieces by the cannons of the Ming Dynasty. Shang Ke was pleasantly surprised when he suddenly saw a gorgeously dressed figure in a mountain depression in the distance.

Both of them raised their binoculars to observe.

"It's the leader of the Tartars..."

"It's the head of the tartar..." The two said almost in unison, then their eyes lit up and they glanced at each other.

"boom……"

"boom……"

In the ear is the deafening sound of cannon fire.

"Peter, hurry up and tell Captain Rekaz about the situation, and let him concentrate on bombarding the col immediately. It looks like we're going to catch a big fish..." Shang Kexi said excitedly.

"no problem……"

……

Huang Taiji looked at the warship of the Ming Dynasty people in Jiangxin with a pale face.

Amin looked at Jiang Xin's rolling logs and fire boats that kept drifting down scatteredly, and just muttered blankly: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."

There was a roar.

The people in this mountain depression have not yet come to their senses.

"puff……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

Huang Taiji felt a little strange. In this cold rain, there was some warm rain. What kind of day is this?Is it raining or is it hot rain?Huang Taiji stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and there was a trace of blood red on his fingers.

Look around again.A few riders around me had already been hit by cannons, making the sound of tearing leather, blood and flesh splattered, and the remaining flesh and blood collapsed into a pile in an instant, and the blood immediately flowed down the mountain.More cannons that missed hit the hillside, making the sound of "bang" and "bang" breaking the gravel.

The people on the col, seeing this astonishing scene, all of them turned pale. They were all alive just now, but they were beaten into a pile of minced meat by the cannon, and the blood flowed to their feet.

Everyone looked at each other, and in their eyes, apart from fear, there was still fear.

"Protect the Great Khan..." someone shouted.In this mountain depression, all the Houjin people woke up with a start, dismounted one after another, and looked for a place to hide.

Huang Taiji was also pulled off his horse by Fan Wencheng and dragged into the col. Huang Taiji, who stayed at the front of the col, was lucky not to be hit.Fan Wencheng didn't care about anything, relying on his height and strength, he pulled Huang Taiji, who was already somewhat demented, to the back of the mountain.

Huang Taiji looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, the broken corpse, the blood and flesh flowing everywhere.

Amin was also pulled back by the guards and hid on the back of the mountain. Amin, who has been full of hostility and domineering all this time, no longer has the hostility of the past, nor the domineering of the past, just staring at the ground stupidly Those piles of flesh and blood were in a daze, and they couldn't stop chanting: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."

Huang Taiji's pale face no longer showed any brilliance, and he said weakly: "Xiandou, send an order to let Jiang Xin's troops withdraw immediately, and no one will be left..."

"Cha!" Fan Wencheng knelt down and kowtowed in the muddy rain.

Soon, several special horns sounded, blowing continuously.Hou Jinjiangxin's men and horses responded immediately, riding their horses, stepping on the river water that had crossed the horse's belly, and retreated.

With a pale face, Huang Taiji lay down in the rain to observe the situation on the river.

The battleships of the Ming Dynasty went up the river without any scruples. The centipede ship, relying on many oars, had already passed more than half of the waterway of less than twenty miles, and the following warship was a Take one.Looking from a distance, you can't see the end at all.

Facing such a situation, Huang Taiji felt that besides powerlessness, he was still powerless.

"God! God, did you just abandon me, Dajin?" Huang Taiji's face was no longer bloody. Looking at the Ming Dynasty warships all over the river, he felt bitter. He had no choice but to pray to the god. Stop the Ming Dynasty people.

……

on the river.

"We're in trouble, Jean..." Peter said with some apologetic smiles.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Shang Kexi asked.

"Shang, Captain Rekaz said that the wind has weakened, and sailing against the wind will become more difficult. If the timing is not good, the ship may not be able to sail..." Peter said.

"Oh, weakened?" Shang Kexi stretched out his hand in the rain, there was still wind, but it was indeed very weak.

"Yes, Shang, now, it depends on the headwind skills of the captains. If you have good skills, you can still drive the boat up by taking advantage of the wind force and taking the 'zigzag' road. If you have bad skills or bad luck , you may have to turn around..., it may be dangerous..., um, except for us centipede ships..." Peter said seriously.

"..." Shang Kexi is not very proficient in matters of the sea and sailing, and Shang Kexi doesn't know what to say about Peter's explanation.

Lei Dayong has been using binoculars to observe the situation of Jiangxin Island. This is what he cares about most. He is relieved to see the Tartars retreating.

"Good news, the Tartars have withdrawn from Jiangxin Island..." Lei Dayong closed the binoculars and said, but what he saw were two silent people, wasn't it crazy just now?Why are you silent now?

"What's wrong?" Lei Dayong asked.

"It's great, Peter said, the wind is too weak, and many boats may not be able to get on it. It seems that we have to go on the fiberglass one as we expected..." Shang Kexi said with some regrets, the best way is to take the whole journey by boat. He would not use stretching unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, it was October now, and although Zhenjiang Fort was warmer than many places, it was still very cold with the rain on his body.

"Oh, is that so?" Lei Dayong asked, and then said: "If it's really not possible, let's stretch the fiber. It just so happens that Jiang Xin's tartar retreated..."

The centipede boat has traveled more than half of the less than [-]-mile channel, and is bombarding the Tartars crossing the river. The Tartars on Jiangxin Island, under the bombardment of the cannons, quickly evacuated, and some were even washed away by the river. I don't even care about walking.

A sailing warship followed the centipede boat, walked with difficulty in the word "Zigzag", in a place where the water was a little rough, after all, it failed to pull the boat back to the channel, and was rushed downstream by the increasingly turbulent current, and simply , the river is relatively wide, and the warship that was washed down quickly straightened its bow again, without colliding with the warships downstream, and sailed dangerously downstream.

"Look!" Shang Kexi exclaimed.

The people on the boat looked downstream one after another. A warship could not borrow the wind and did not have many oars. Even though it walked the "zigzag" channel, it still couldn't withstand the turbulent current and was rushed downstream... , the thrilling scene almost made the people present scream.

"Hurry up, send an order to let the centipede ship of the Ministry of Transportation send people up quickly, first send Master Ma and the others up, and wait until they have gained a firm foothold, then transport the fiber pullers, as soon as possible, the wind has stopped, and the rain is about to stop... ..." Lei Dayong shouted anxiously.

……

Huang Taiji knelt in the rain, there was nothing he could do except to pray to the sky. The men and horses in Jiangxin were already being bombarded by warships from the Ming dynasty. From time to time shells fell among the crowd, plowing a trough of blood, and horses and men lost their feet and were swept away by the increasingly swift current.

"God!...God!... Please protect me Dajin!...Please protect me Dajin..." Huang Taiji's face was terribly pale, kneeling on the ground, praying unceasingly.

"Khan, look quickly, it has come true,...Khan, look quickly..." An attendant beside Huang Taiji shouted loudly.

Huang Taiji collected his energy and looked towards the river. A Ming Dynasty warship was washed down by the current.

"Khan, God bless me, Dajin! Sure enough, the warships of the Ming Dynasty can't borrow the wind..." Fan Wencheng quickly explained after seeing it.

"Good! Good! Good! As expected, God did not abandon me, Dajin, God bless you! God bless you!" Huang Taiji's pale face turned rosy, and he shouted again and again.

The people in this mountain depression also shouted.Fangfo is like a god who really fulfilled Huang Taiji's prayer.

……

"Hurry..., hurry... hurry..." Several centipede boats suddenly appeared from Linjiang Village. These centipede boats were not too big. After being dismantled, these centipede ships were Lei Dayong's troop carrier specially used for fast troop transport, carrying a hundred people, and quickly headed towards Jiangxin Island.

The Dajiangxin Island near Linjiang Village had no Tartars left. It was bombarded by hundreds of cannons and retreated early in the morning. The people on the centipede boat quickly landed on Jiangxin Island.

One, two, three, more and more boats sent people to the first Jiangxin Island, and soon, hundreds of people gathered on Jiangxin Island.

"pull……"

Dozens of small sampans were tied to the men and began to swim upstream.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..." A loud chant sounded on the Yalu River.

Dozens of small sampans were pulled upstream rapidly.

Ma Teng also landed on Jiangxin Island, and they were quickly transported to the second Jiangxin Island by several centipede boats. However, not many of them could ride horses. Among ten people, only one rode a horse. Teng was very upset, but when he saw the earth-shattering sound of the fiber-pulling chant, Ma Teng shook off his discomfort.Shouted: "Brothers..., what we have to do is to protect these stretching brothers. After protecting them, our commander-in-chief's reinforcements can go to Zhenjiang Fort. When the reinforcements arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, we will fight for this battle." You won, do you understand? Even if you die, you must protect these brothers..."

"Understood!...Understood!...Understood!..." A few thundering voices of understanding, combined with the thundering chant not far away, earth-shattering.

……

Dozens of sampans were quickly pulled between the first Jiangxin island and the second Jiangxin island, and between the first Jiangxin island and the second Jiangxin island. The distance of a hundred steps.On the second island in the middle of the river, there were already people on it. Besides Ma Teng's army, some people lowered the rope from above.

Soon these ropes were connected to those sampans, and soon, the sampans were pulled to the second Jiangxin island, and several thick ropes connected these sampans between the two Jiangxin islands. The simple pontoon bridge was quickly built.

……

Fan Wencheng looked at the densely packed stretching team, and the people of the Ming Dynasty had already planned something, and said anxiously: "Khan, do you want to let the people who are still in Jiangxin go back and rush?"

Huang Taiji's complexion was red, and he looked at Jiangxin Island in a daze, at the team of Ming Dynasty people stretching the rope, at the Ming Dynasty people's rapid construction of the pontoon bridge, and after listening to Fan Wencheng's words, he said after a while, "Forget it, Jiang Xin's troops have lost their minds, how can they fight if they lose their morale?"

The troops in Jiangxin that the empress dowager referred to were mainly those on Jiangxin Island near Zhenjiang Fort. There were still some troops on Jiangxin Island that had not been evacuated. However, Huang Taiji no longer dared to have extravagant hopes for these troops. The men and horses were bombarded by the cannons of the warships of the Ming Dynasty. The casualties were heavy. Those people wished they could cross the river immediately. They no longer cared about military discipline or teams. They scrambled and fought and gathered far away from the warships. , I just hope to cross the river as soon as possible, and I want them to go back and fight the Ming Dynasty people. It is estimated that the trumpets are blown, and those people dare not go forward. The Ming Dynasty people have hundreds of cannons bombarding them. .

Watching the shocking chant on Jiangxin Island, watching the pulling team of thousands of people on Jiangxin Island, watching the warship that was originally windless but kept retreating was slowly being pulled up again little by little. , Huang Taiji's face became even brighter red.

"Pfft..." Huang Taiji only felt that his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
