There are gains and losses, the solidity of heavy armor comes at a price, it slows down the advance of the soldiers, it can be said that every step of the heavy armor soldiers is fighting, they are too slow, slow to the Ming army to replace the shells, they only move forward more than a mile.

The smoke stirred up by the cannonballs with condiments became a nightmare for the heavy armor soldiers of the Qing army.

It can't help but make them cough and have difficulty breathing, and many even faint on the spot because of this.

Li Chengdong saw that the situation was not good, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The first round of attack ended with a thunderous and small rain.

At this time, Li Chengdong had already detected the existence of Ming warships outside the dock.

But Li Chengdong still didn't know that in addition to the dozen or so Ming warships exposed outside the dock, there was a denser fleet at the port.

And Wu Zheng, of course, will not take the initiative to tell Li Chengdong.

So, Li Chengdong stubbornly launched a second round of attacks, this time Li Chengdong ran out of patience, he no longer sent heavy armor, but ordered a general attack.

There is nothing wrong with this tactical thinking.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, without shells, it is a pile of debris.

From the cavalry being shelled to organizing the first attack, Li Chengdong's tactical goal of consuming the Ming army's artillery shells has been achieved, and in his opinion, after this attack, it is time for him to reap the fruits.

But things in the world are often that you deliberately want the other party's money, but the other party's eyes are staring directly at your capital.

Li Chengdong didn't know that his goal of reconnoitring the Ming army's firepower and consuming the Ming army's artillery shells had been achieved.

And Wu Zheng also used this time to complete the dispatch of ships.

There were not so many gunboats in the naval division, eighty or ninety percent of the battleships were still equipped with the ancient batters, ramming horns and catapults, and the only long-range attack weapon was the heavy crossbow, which was obviously not used for this battle at all.

The number of ships that can be accommodated in the dock is limited, and the artillery of the enemy before, which is similar to the artillery variety presented by Chen Shoujie, is a rapid-fire gun from Spain, and the firing speed limits the power and range of the artillery.

But it is undeniable that rapid-fire guns with flowering shells do have a considerable restraint effect on cavalry in field battles.

It's a pity that there are not many opportunities for this kind of field battle, in this era, the real king of the battlefield is still the Hongyi cannon, and the range and power determine everything.

Wu Zheng used this time to carry out ship scheduling.

Split into two echelons, deploy the giant ships loaded with Hongyi cannons in the harbor location, and transfer all small and medium-sized warships loaded with rapid-fire guns into the dock area.

It was a bloody slaughter of steel and human body colliding.

The area where the near and far intersected was covered, and the heavy artillery and rapid-fire guns cooperated to seal off the area in front of the pier for several miles.

There was no open area to hide, which provided a guarantee for the lethality of artillery.

Perhaps, God also thinks that it is time for the Qing army to pay some interest to the Han people, right?

The overwhelming pouring of cannonballs, the deafening and suffocating sound of cannons, maybe the eighteen layers of hell can't be like this, right?

A quarter of an hour, just a quarter of an hour, a salvo of more than a hundred gunboats, hundreds of guns.

Directly rolled up the open land in front of the pier for several miles.

When the sound of the cannon stopped and the smoke of gunfire gradually dispersed, like a buffalo plowing the ground, the earth was turned up, and the craters on the ground were filled with blood, forming dark red puddles of blood.

At least, there was not a single standing creature as far as the eye could see.

The thousands of Qing troops deployed by Li Chengdong to assist in the attack on both flanks unconsciously stopped at the moment when the cannon sounded, and they were stunned to witness the scene that had opened up!

No one is really stupid enough to drill into the fire, right?

And Li Chengdong was also dumbfounded, what kind of battle was this fought?

Even if he counted the hundreds of battles he had been through, he had never seen such a battle.

Shouldn't artillery be used to cover, assist, and attack fortified cities?

When did the smoothbore gun, which is not very accurate, have such devastating lethality?

The lack of insight beyond the times has limited Li Chengdong's operational concepts and ideas.

At this moment, Li Chengdong only had a trace of bitterness in his heart, defeated, defeated.

But the experience of a hundred battles also made Li Chengdong Huo Ran clear, and the collapse of the main force, what will happen next, he knows it in his heart.

Almost tearing out his throat and screaming, "Withdraw!" ”

Withdraw, the main force that has been covered by artillery fire will definitely not be able to withdraw back.

Li Chengdong didn't even care about the four thousand Qing troops on both wings.

He now has only one thought, that is, to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet sent troops to pursue, lead his remaining reserve of more than 2,000 troops, flee back to Fuzhou, and then make plans.

It's a pity that Li Chengdong has no chance.

Without waiting for him to turn around, the cannon sound sounded again.

However, the artillery fire was extending, and the point of impact had already crossed the main force of the Qing army, which no longer existed, and fell directly to the rear army of Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong originally had a chance to escape, his previous retreat was three miles, and he was indeed in a relatively safe position in the sky, the range of rapid-fire guns was out of reach, and the heavy artillery was only four ship configurations, and there were only twelve guns on one side, and if he wanted to attack Li Chengdong's rear army with solid bullets, that is, the cannon would hit mosquitoes, and the probability of hitting was almost zero.

It's a pity, Li Chengdong wants to catch Zhu Yujian too much, and this credit is enough for him to no longer be suppressed and blinded by Duoduo and Bolo.

Li Chengdong wanted to catch the young general so much, although he didn't know why he hated himself so much, but as long as he caught him and asked, and then killed him, no matter how big the hatred was, it would be gone after death.

Li Chengdong wants to get this batch of artillery so much, capture these artillery, Duoduo, Bolo? Hehe, even if it's Dolgon, he has to give him three points of face, isn't Huang Taiji also like this because of the dozens of artillery pieces brought by Kong Youde to have the capital to enter the customs?

Li Chengdong also wanted to get these ships, and with these ships, he could gain a firm foothold in Fujian, and he could talk to the Zheng brothers about the conditions.......

If you want too much, you often get nothing.

Li Chengdong got nothing, including what he has now, including ...... own life.

His second attack, in a desperate gamble, moved forward with his own command.

This puts him within range of rapid-fire artillery shells, not to mention heavy artillery range.

The extension of artillery fire directly blocked Li Chengdong's retreat, want to retreat? Unless you get through the barrage.

Screaming shells, red-hot air currents, shrapnel flying after the explosion and rubble that was almost as sharp as shrapnel.

All this is like a sickle that reaps human life.

Li Chengdong, there is no way back.

When a cannonball with long eyes landed not far from Li Chengdong's side, overturned several war horses, tore up several Qing soldiers, and then the air wave directly stunned Li Chengdong.
