Xiamen Island is located in the bay of the mouth of the Jiulong River, surrounded by the mainland on three sides, facing the small Kinmen Island across the sea in the southeast, and there is a small Gulangyu Island in the southwest. The topography of Xiamen Island is high in the south and low in the north, and there is a bay on the east and west sides of the central part of the island, which are Yundang Port and Zhongzhai Bay, and later because of the reclamation of the sea, Yundang Port became Yundang Lake, and Zhongzhai Bay also became Wuyuan Bay with the construction of the city. Gaoqi in the north of Xiamen Island was a large forest from the beach, and the terrain was flat. Walking four or five miles to the south, the terrain gradually rises, and there is a small plateau with an altitude of only more than ten to thirty meters. But such a small plateau, in the flat terrain of Takasaki, is already a commanding height. It's just that there were no machine guns in those days, and even if you set up positions on the commanding heights, you couldn't block the beach. Therefore, the fortifications of the Ming army were set up behind the embankment above the beach.

Above the stone embankment, there is a female wall made of stone and battlements, which can be used to attack enemy troops entering the beach. It is conceivable that the Qing army crossed the Gaoji Strait and set foot on the beach of Xiamen Island, when the Qing soldiers just jumped off the boat and stepped on the beach with kne-deep water to advance hard, the Ming army's arrows and projectiles shot condescendingly on the female wall rained down on the beach, and the Qing army with nowhere to hide would suffer heavy losses! And the Qing army wading on the beach had to worry about the bowstring and bird guns getting wet, so they could only be beaten but unable to fight back. Large ships with artillery could not get close to the beach; The troop-carrying boats could not be equipped with long-range artillery, and they could only watch the landing Qing troops being beaten.

When the Qing army paid a heavy price and broke through the Ming army defending the embankment and rushed up from the beach, it was found that this was only the first line of defense of the Ming army!

The terrain behind the embankment is gently elevated, and through a forest of trees, you can see the trenches dug by the Ming army.

If the Qing army broke through the embankment line, the Ming army defending the first line of defense could quickly pass through the woods and retreat to the second line of defense. Because the woods were an obstacle to the unfamiliar Qing army, the Qing army could not quickly pursue the Ming army, and the retreating Ming army could retreat into the second line of defense with little to no losses.

The pursuing Qing army easily passed through the woods, only to find that the road ahead was blocked by a trench three feet wide and one foot deep.

Behind the trenches were densely covered with wooden fences, and the Ming army could shoot a large number of rockets to set fire to the woods, burning the Qing troops trapped in the woods.

Even if the Qing army can survive the fire and extinguish it, even if the Qing army's fleet is not annihilated, and the Qing army is still sent ashore with a continuous source of energy, then the Ming army still has a large number of tiger squat cannons, yaksha beatings, swarms of bees, artillery, bows and crossbows waiting for the Qing army, which can kill and injure a large number of Qing troops who are trying to fill the trenches. Although it was only a thin wooden fence, the Qing army that landed did not have any siege weapons, so they could only fill the trench with human lives.

The Qing army wanted to send artillery ashore? Without a dock, the big ships could not come up, and the red-coated cannons could not be sent ashore at all. And small boats can only transport small cannons ashore.

When the Qing soldiers came ashore panting with small cannons on their backs, because in the process of wading, the small cannons entered the water, and they had to wait for the barrels to dry. The cannon is then set up, and the gunpowder is reloaded and ready to fire. After the Qing army was busy with all this, before they could open fire, the Ming army's red-coated cannons, Franc machines and other artillery had already knocked the Qing army's small cannons away.

Even if the Qing army made a desperate gamble and paid a heavy price to break through the second line of defense of the Ming army and enter the depths of the island, it would not matter: Zheng Chenggong's elite mobile troops could be reinforced at any time. On Xiamen Island, the Ming army dug a large number of horse traps and traps, and also arranged a lot of deer to reject horses, and the Eight Banners cavalry could only be used as infantry when they went to the island. And Zheng Chenggong's iron man and the black musket team can wipe out all the Qing troops who entered the depths of the island.

Zheng Chenggong had worked Xiamen Island for many years, and had already turned the island into a huge fortress, waiting for the Qing army to come and die.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xiamen could not be held, the Zheng army could quickly board the ship and retreat to Kinmen in the southeast. However, this possibility will almost never appear, because Shi Lang's naval combat skills are not even worthy of lifting shoes for King Yanping! As long as the Qing army and the water division are defeated, the Qing army on the island will be cut off, and what awaits them is the fate of destruction.

The location where Wang Yu is located is only the defense line of the Gaoqi Ming Army in the north, which belongs to the Right Tiger Guard Zhen Army. The Ming army had well-arranged fortifications in all directions, and no matter which direction the Qing army landed, it would be dealt a heavy blow.

In fact, as long as Zheng's army was in Xiamen for one day, it would be difficult for the Qing army to break through this fortress.

It's just that Shi Lang didn't know the layout of the Ming army on the island, and he thought: "Zheng Wei refused to accept Wang Hua, peeked into the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and was beaten by Admiral Liang in Jiangning, and lost a large number of fierce pirates, and nearly half of the armor-clad henchmen. Now Haikou's morale is low, as long as my Wang Shi sets foot in Xiamen, Zheng Cheng will die! ”

Da Su was very satisfied with Shi Lang's words: "Most of the elite of Nangou were annihilated, and their morale was low. Although Zheng Wei has trained new soldiers, his combat effectiveness is bound to be low. And our army is concentrated in the five provincial water divisions, and there are even elite eight banners, once we land on Xiamen Island, it will be the time for us to get the head of Zheng Wei's neck! ”

There were as many as 150,000 Qing troops assembled around Xiamen, while the Ming army was only 30,000, and the Qing army was five times that of the Ming army; The Qing army had more than 800 ships and ships, while the Ming army had only more than 400, and the Qing army was twice as large as the Ming army. What's more, there are two rebel generals Shi Lang and Huang Wu who are proficient in water warfare, and these two people are also very familiar with the hydrology around Xiamen, so Dasu is full of confidence in winning the battle of Xiamen.

The flowers bloomed two and one on each branch, and Wang Yu took the iron arrow that had just been made and returned to the Ming army's Gaoqi camp.

Passing through a forest, Wang Yu suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the bushes in front of him.

"It's a hare!" Wang Yu secretly said in his heart, "Just try the newly created Iron Bone Arrow!" ”

He took the iron-tired bow from his back, and pulled out an arrow from the quiver.

Put on the wrench, stretch the bow and arrow, and slowly pull the three-stone bow. Since the distance was not far, Wang Yu did not need to draw the bow to the fullest.

The moment the hare's gray head probed out from behind the bushes, Wang Yu gently loosened the bowstring.

"Whoosh" an iron-boned arrow swooped down on the hare with a strong wind. I only heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh, the wolf's tooth arrow drilled through the hare's head, the arrow shaft penetrated the head, the iron arrow feather hit the skull and was blocked, the powerful kinetic energy flew up with the whole hare, and the wolf's tooth arrow with the kinetic energy that did not disappear, pierced a tree fiercely, nailed the hare that had lost its life to the trunk!

Wang Yu ran forward and came to the big tree, ready to withdraw the iron arrow.

To avoid damaging the arrowhead, he pulled out his short knife, cut through the bark, and carefully dug out the arrowhead. Look at the hare again, and the whole head has been shot to pieces.

Wang Yu checked the arrow shaft and found that it was not damaged, so he drew out the iron arrow, then grabbed a handful of grass on the ground to wipe the blood stains on the arrow shaft, and then took the arrow back to the quiver, and then walked back to the barracks with the hare.

From the island towards the Ming army camp, because it is behind the defense line, of course there is no trench, but there are hidden horse traps and traps, which are just in case, if the Qing army breaks through the Ming army's defense line, these things are used to block the Eight Banners cavalry. Wang Yu cautiously bypassed the trap and trap, walked to the gate of the camp, and shouted at the tower: "I'm back, open the door quickly!" ”

A head poked out of the tower, and when the man saw that it was Wang Yu coming back, he said sarcastically with a hippie smile: "Ouch, it's Wang Dasha who is back!" How's it going? I didn't come back yesterday, but your mother found you a daughter-in-law? How about it, are you still satisfied with your father-in-law's family? ”

Another person's yin and yang strange voice came from the tower: "Wang Dasha is looking for a daughter-in-law? Hahaha! Which girl's family would take a fancy to our dasha? I think Dasha went to the city to find fans last night! Dasha has been guarding himself like jade for 19 years, and it must be difficult! ”

"Hahaha!" There was laughter in the camp.

The first guy to speak on the tower was Gong Xiaoda, but although this person has a stinky mouth, he still has some skills, but he is actually a good person. The second guy who spoke cool words was named Chen Buffalo. When Wang Xinyu didn't occupy this body before, Wang Yu was always teased by them. Although he has a big head and good skills, the honest Wang Yu's mouth is too stupid, and he can only stutter and argue, but he falls into the trap of those people, and the more he argues, the more he attracts laughter.

The current Wang Yu is no longer the original Wang Yu, he was so sarcastic, the civil servants in his previous life still had a temper: "Don't talk nonsense!" Open the door! ”

"you old! has become Chen's own soldier, and he is getting better and better! Gong Xiaoda scolded in his mouth, but he was not afraid of Wang Yu at all, and he didn't plan to open the door to Wang Yu so soon.

Hearing Gong Xiaoda's Hokkien swear words, Wang Yu suddenly became angry: "Dog's day! Don't open the door again to see how I come in and clean you up! ”

Who knew that the Chen buffalo inside said: "Xiaoda, what are you afraid of him?" I don't believe it, he still dares to be fierce to us! ”

Just when the stalemate was at a standoff, someone yelled: "What are you doing! Still not going to open the door? ”

Wang Yu recognized the man's voice, it was a general petty officer named Chen Python. This person can be said to be jealous and hateful, and very upright. In the past, when Wang Yu was bullied, Chen Python would always scold those little soldiers away.

Seeing that Chen Python was coming, Gong Xiaoda was very unwilling to come down from the tower and honestly open the gate of the village.

Walking into the wooden fence, you can see that the barracks is still very neatly arranged. The barracks are next to the second line of defense of the Ming army, and above the wooden fence in front of the seaside, there are many yaksha rings tied with iron chains, and there are heavy weapons such as stone crossbows and swarms behind the wooden fence, and there are several high earth platforms where tiger squat cannons are placed. The soldiers' barracks were not ordinary tents or wooden houses of the Ming army, but very sturdy stone houses, with the doors of the barracks open at the back, and only a few small windows on the side facing the sea that could be used as shooting holes. In the event of a war, these barracks were fortresses. From these layouts, it can be seen that the king of Yanping has put a lot of effort into the defense of Xiamen Island.

However, the living quarters of the soldiers were dirty and messy, after all, people in this era did not pay much attention to hygiene, let alone men. Wang Yu, who came from later generations, would really not be suitable if he lived in these barracks full of the smell of sweat, urine, and dead rats. Fortunately, before Wang Xinyu came, Wang Yu had already been fortunate to become a pro-soldier and had his own small house.

Handed over the hares to the firehead army to deal with, and Wang Yu walked back to his room.

Wang Yu's small space was well organized, the room was very clean, and the quilt on the bed was also folded into tofu blocks according to the habits of his later generations.

The room is not big, and there is hardly any space after a bed is placed. Originally, in addition to the bed, there was only a broken wooden cabinet in the room, and there was also a weapon rack. After Wang Yu crossed, he added a small table in front of the window, so that he could read at night.

Wang Yu was originally a descendant of pirates, and the pirates' tactics relied entirely on their own skills and experience, and they had no military books at all. In order to improve his adaptability in this era, Wang Yu after crossing over looked for people to borrow military reading books everywhere. Who knew that even the junior officer Chen Python didn't have a military book, and in the end, Wang Yu had to be cheeky and ask Chen Shoubei to borrow a few books.

At that time, Chen Peng's expression was very strange, how could a stupid big soldier who didn't even know a few words read a military book? However, since he was a pro-soldier, and he basically didn't read those books, Chen Peng generously lent the military books to Wang Yu. Although he had doubts in his heart, Chen Peng didn't think it was a bad thing. After all, Wang Yu is his own personal soldier, and if he makes meritorious service in the future, it is not the same as his own meritorious service. Since he is ready to "defect to the king's master", he will have to make more military achievements in the future and use the blood of the Han people to stain his top red, so that the Manchurian master can be satisfied with these minions under him.

It was still early before the meal time, Wang Yu took out Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training" from the broken wooden cabinet and looked at it.

The original Wang Yu was almost illiterate, and Wang Xinyu, who crossed over, originally learned simplified characters, so these books in traditional Chinese characters looked tiring to Wang Yu. But no matter what, if you want to get ahead, you have to clench your teeth and learn these military books.

Just as Wang Yu was reading the book, the broken wooden door opened with a "creak".

Wang Yu looked up and saw that it was actually Chen Python who entered the room!

"Knock on the boss!" Wang Yu hurriedly got up and saluted.

Chen Python stepped forward and gently helped Wang Yu up: "Hurry up!" I, Chen, just passed by and came in to take a casual look! ”

After speaking, Chen Python walked to the table, flipped through the military books on the table, and read them for a long time before asking: "I don't know if you can understand these military books, little brothers?" ”

Wang Yu saw Chen Python's eyes staring at him, and knew that if he couldn't understand a word at this time, Chen Python would inevitably be suspicious, so he simply replied: "Lord Hui, although my subordinates don't understand very well, my subordinates are studying hard, and I believe that they will be able to understand it in the future." ”

Chen Python smiled weirdly: "Little brother, I remember that you didn't know a single big character before, how do you look at the military book now?" And when did you learn to read? ”

As if Wang Yu had completely changed as a person, Chen Python had already seen it in his eyes, and he was very suspicious in his heart, which always made people feel incredible. It is not difficult for a person to change, but it is strange that a fool who was originally illiterate suddenly changed into a person, not only knowing how to read, but also reading military books.

Listening to Chen Python's words, Wang Yu chuckled in his heart, his brain turned rapidly, and he wondered how to respond in order to give Chen Python a satisfactory answer. Although Chen Python has no ill will towards himself, Wang Yu can never reveal the secret of his crossing, and his answer must be satisfactory to Chen Python.
