The Hou Jin Army arrived at Ningyuan on the 28th of the first lunar month and decided to attack Juehua Island on the 30th after resting for a day on the 29th.
Huang Taiji was still a little worried and planned to go personally to see the situation of the Ming army on the 29th.
But on the night of the 28th, Nurhaci received news that the Ming army was launching attacks in Dongjiang and Liaonan, and Yuetuo's messenger in Haizhou said that if the Ming army continued to attack the city, Haizhou could defend the city for up to ten days.
The news brought by the messenger with the blue flag was even worse: Mao Wenlong had captured Xin'an Fort and was attacking Caohe Fort.
This made Nurhaci panic.
Haizhou was fine, but once Caohe Fort was lost, Hetuala would be under the attack of the Ming army.
As the capital of Houjin, Hetuala must not allow any mistakes.
Nurhachi was worried that Hetuala would be attacked, and was unwilling to part with the grain, grass and other supplies on Juehua Island, so he decided to add fifteen more Niulu of Zhenghuang Banner to Huang Taiji, and captured Juehua Island on the 29th, and then the armies quickly Withdrew and went to rescue Liaonan and Hetuala, leaving a small number of troops to supervise the civilians' delivery of supplies.
On the morning of the 29th, after the Hou Jin army had breakfast, they started to attack Jue with two white flags, twenty Niulu flags, and fifteen Niulu flags.
Hua Island.
The weather was already cold, especially in the morning.
It took Hou Jinbing more than an hour to reach the place where the ice was cut on Juehua Island.
Although the Ming army did not cut through the ice, they still made some potholes.
Huang Taiji observed carefully and confirmed that the Ming army really wanted to cut through the ice, and he felt a little more at ease.
Two hours later, Hou Jinbing finally arrived at Juehua Island.
Huang Taiji looked at the ten-foot-high ice wall and cursed in his heart.
It is impossible for the Hou Jin Army to carry siege equipment so far.
To deal with the ice wall, they must either pile up people and climb the wall, or attack from a small opening.
No matter what method is used, it goes without saying that the losses will be huge.
Huang Taiji organized his formation five hundred steps outside the ice wall and had something to eat.
Then he ordered his Gushan'e Zhennamutai to take a white flag to attack the small opening in the ice wall, Azig to take two yellow flags to climb the ice wall, and Du Du's white flag as a reserve team, ready to attack at any time.
The most difficult thing to attack is obviously the small opening.
It is conceivable that behind the opening is the main force of the Ming army.
Both Azig and Dudu are very satisfied with this arrangement.
It was already noon, and the Houjin Army finally began to attack.
Namtai took double-layered white armor as the vanguard and directly attacked the opening of the ice wall.
Zhao Shujiao had been waiting for a long time.
He was watching the formation of Jiannu's team at Xiaokouzi, and felt itchy in his heart.
He was now the deputy division commander, otherwise he would have gone out with a long gun.
When Namtai was still four hundred steps away from the mouth, he ordered the cannon to be fired.
The nine-pound cannon has a range of more than 400 to 500 steps.
Now it is fired horizontally.
After the cannonball lands, it can slide on the smooth ice for a long distance, and one cannonball can clear a path.
Seeing that the effect was so good, Zhao Zhijiao shouted: "Push it out, change the chain bullets, and shoot in both directions."
Chain bombs are more effective.
There is an iron chain between the two iron balls.
After being shot out, a wide path is cleared.
Zhao Shujiao asked people to bring out all the chain bombs and specifically used chain bombs to attack Jiannu.
Namtai suffered a big loss this time.
Anyone the chain bullet came into contact with first would have their skin broken and broken.
The most annoying thing was that it would continue to slide forward, killing people on the road.
In the end, it would not have much speed anymore, and it would Tripping someone onto the ice.
A lucky chain bullet can kill or injure a dozen people without any problem, and it will also bring down a few Houjin soldiers to the ground.
And because the artillery fired in all directions, the two yellow flags Azig carried were also damaged.
The power of the artillery on the ice increased greatly, which was beyond the Guards' expectations.

Zhao Shujiao felt that as long as there were enough nine-pound cannons, he could completely keep Jiannu away from the ice wall with artillery alone.
Unfortunately, although the Second Division has two artillery battalions, the number of artillery is limited after all, and it is not possible to arrange the artillery one by one on the ice wall, so the Houjin soldiers who rush to the ice wall still have to rely on infantry to deal with them.
Under the double blow of artillery and firecrackers, the brave Hou Jin soldiers could only fall on the charging road with hatred.
Personal bravery can be said to be vulnerable in front of firearms.
Zhao Shujiao looked at the Hou Jin soldiers who fell on the ground. , I felt both happy and a little sad.
Huang Taiji discovered that the Jin soldiers' charge was only a one-sided massacre, and he was extremely resentful.
He felt that only by allowing the soldiers to charge faster than the cannonballs and bullets fired could it be possible to break through the Guards.
He believed that when the two armies were close, the power of firearms would not be easily unleashed.
He ordered the reserves with white flags to attack immediately, hoping to use their lives to open a passage.
He said to Du Du: "Let the soldiers separate when charging and don't gather together.
This way the damage of the shells will be less.
Charge up in one go, don't Hesitation, we can’t capture Juehua Island today, everyone has to explain here.”
Du Du had also suffered the loss of the Guards' firearms.
Of course he knew that attacking slowly would bring death to the Guards.
He said to Gushan'er Zhenturg with a white flag: "Charge separately.
Don't stop.
Close up."
This is our world.”
Turg personally led the armored soldiers with white flags and rushed forward.
As he rushed, he shouted: "Hurry up, spread out and charge.
Don't look at others.
If the shells don't hit you, keep moving forward.
Our swords will make them taste it."
To feel the taste of failure.”
Due to the addition of the white flag and the fact that the golden armor soldiers no longer gather together to charge, the damage of artillery shells and bullets has been greatly reduced.
Finally, a large number of Hou Jinjia soldiers approached the small opening.
When Jian Nu approached a hundred steps, Zhao led the army to let the artillery fire the last shot and then began to retreat.
The infantry stood behind the artillery with blunderbuss and fired at the same time.
Then the first row of infantry held blunderbuss and stood still, and the soldiers behind them stood still.
Two rows of infantry began to reload.
Soon, Hou Jin's armored soldiers rushed in front of the first row of infantry.
Zhao Shujiao kept shouting: "Keep the formation, don't mess up."
The infantry and Hou Jin's soldiers started a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the second row of soldiers began to fire at the Hou Jin soldiers, knocking down another group, and then started to use bayonets to kill the Hou Jin soldiers from the air between the first row of soldiers.
The third row of soldiers started firing cannons again, then quickly retreated, and another row of soldiers stepped forward and opened fire.
In addition to the Guards infantry standing ready on the ice wall, there are also a large number of soldiers arrayed behind the artillery, ready to support at any time.
Therefore, the first two rows of infantry begin to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the infantry at the back can be divided into many rows to take turns to set off firecrackers
