Since its formation, the Han Naval Division has participated in many battles, but most of them are coordinated operations, focusing on cooperation, like this solo operation to capture a city, it is the first time, and this time it is very important for the Great Han Naval Division.

All along, the Dahan sailors are special existences, their treatment is the best, and the cost consumption is simply astronomical, it can be said that they are consuming money every day. The selection of soldiers is also the most demanding, and the battlefield pension is also the highest.

On the battlefield, the Southern and Northern Wars, the Han Iron Army, which swept the world, had long complained about the water division. Why is it that it is the Han Iron Cavalry who fights bloodily, but it is the Han Sailor who is high up?

The first battle is the correct name, this battle is the battle of the Han Navy, for Zhang Heng, for the Han Navy, and even for the entire Han Dynasty, this battle can only succeed, not fail. It is necessary to prove to the world that the Han Sailor is an invincible existence.

Invincible, what is invincible, invincible is the loneliest.

When the big Han warships appeared on the sea level, the Jin army, which had already entered the state, was still a little flustered, after all, he had never seen such a huge behemoth, and at this distance, it was impossible to attack the floating warships on land, which was fatal for the defense of the Jin army.

At this time, Jin Jun was simply a tiger biting a hedgehog, and there was nowhere to put his mouth.

The Jin army lacked large warships, and the small boats had no effect at all, in this case, the commander Puli Shark, who guarded the sea frontier, did not send warships to attack, but waited for the battle, anyway, if the Han army wanted to attack Huludao, it had to go ashore here.

When you go ashore, who stipulates that you have to go ashore to fight hard?

Zhang Heng said to several of his subordinates: "All along, the Han Sailor has been the object of hatred of the Han Iron Cavalry, thinking that we only take military salaries and do not do anything, today is the battle for you to make a name for yourself, you must let the Han Iron Cavalry, let the people of the world see what it means to be invincible, let them see the real combat effectiveness of the Han Navy." ”

Combat effectiveness, in this battle, the combat effectiveness of the Han Navy Division will shock the world.

Cheng Shou, the commander of the first warband, waved the command flag, only to see five warships slowly approaching the coastline, and when there were still two miles away, the five warships turned their bows and aimed horizontally at the sea frontier, and rows of artillery began to wield.

After the loud rumbling sound, the 3,000 Jin troops guarding the sea frontier were blown up before they could counterattack, and the position became a ruin.

After zero casualties, the Han Navy Division quickly seized the sea frontier, and then used a steam locomotive to drag the Shenwei artillery slowly towards Huludao City. The speed was not very fast, but the appearance of these behemoths still caused a great shock among the Jin army.

Niu Gao, who was in charge of receiving the Great Han Naval Division, was still suppressed by this unprecedented Shenwei artillery, and he knew that the Shenwei artillery was extremely powerful, and when he saw the real thing today, he felt extremely shocked.

Siege of the city, what kind of scene will it be to attack the city with this invincible divine artillery? In this battle, the Han Iron Cavalry only observed, not participated in the battle, just to see what tricks the Han sailors could play.

This time, Niu Gao only brought 5,000 cavalry, which was to prevent the Jin cavalry from escaping, and as for the siege, the task was still on the shoulders of the Han Navy.

The Dahan Navy Military Department has long been established, but it is still customary to become the Dahan Naval Division, and only after this battle will it be renamed and replaced with a new naval uniform.

Twenty Shenwei cannons slowly appeared outside the Huludao City Gate, the distance was more than two thousand five hundred steps, this distance, it was absolutely safe, the trebuchet of the Jin Kingdom could not threaten the Shenwei artillery at all, not even the bed crossbow.

A Shenwei artillery worth more than 500,000 yuan was displayed in front of everyone for the first time, and the name of the Shenwei artillery nominated by the emperor of the Han Dynasty was still used.

Zhang Heng said to Niu Gao: "There are 30,000 Jurchen cavalry in Huludao City, this city is very tall, although there is no moat, but the tall city, if General Niu is allowed to attack, it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months, and the casualties will be huge." ”

"Ten days and a half months may not be able to defeat it, these generals of the Jin Army would rather die than surrender, and if they want to take this city, the casualties will definitely be tens of thousands."

Niu Gao's biggest headache is the siege of the city, if the enemy army defending the city is fully prepared, if you want to break the city, it will definitely be a tough battle, I don't know how many people will die. You must know that when the Jin army attacked Taiyuan City, it was not defeated for nine months, and it was not possible to defeat Zhengding Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion for four or five months. Although the city of Huludao in front of him is not so tall, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Jin army far exceed that of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army back then.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Today, tonight, launch an attack, and tomorrow morning, you can go into the city to drink." ”

"Lao Zhang, you will brag, you can take this city in one night, why don't I believe it?"

Niu Gao thought that he had heard it wrong, no matter how awesome the Han Sailor was, no matter how powerful the Shenwei artillery was, it was impossible to break the city overnight, right?

"Then you'll see."

Zhang Heng didn't say anything more, but ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and the patrol was given to Niu Gao's cavalry.

On the second watch, the Han Navy Division began to be busy, the entire camp was brightly lit, the soldiers were busy in an orderly manner, Zhang Heng was still drinking with Niu Gao, ignoring the busy soldiers, the task had already been issued, what he wanted now was to enter the city, and the following things were completed.

On the third watch, a loud bang pierced the silent night sky, and the deafening sound of the cannon shook Niu Gao's body and almost fell.

"Do you have to drink, or do you have to go out and have a look?"

"I'm still drinking a fart, I'm going to take a look." Niu Gao dropped the wine glass in his hand and strode out, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about.

Twenty Shenwei cannons took turns to fire, and one after another shells smashed heavily into Huludao City. The earth trembled with a loud bang.

The head of the city was blown to pieces, and the city gate was also blown open, but the Han sailors had no intention of charging, but launched hundreds of artillery pieces that were several sizes smaller, and sent them into three rows, ready to meet the battle.

Five thousand musketeers lined up in battle formation, waiting for the Jin army to charge and kill.

In the past, when fighting, the artillery shot out some stone bumps, which were only used to smash the city gate and smash the city's head, which looked menacing, but in fact the lethality was extremely limited. However, this time, the shells fired by the Shenwei artillery will explode, and it will also cause raging fires, and the lethality is not known how many times stronger, bringing unbearable losses to the Jin army.

Obviously, this time, the Han sailors dug a sinkhole and waited for the Jin army to drill, and the strict defense of the city would be blown up to the sky, and the nest would die, but if you go out of the city to meet the enemy, then you will be killing yourself.

The Jin army in the city obviously didn't know what the fate of taking the initiative to attack was, only that they would be blown up in the city, and in this case, they would kill out of the city under the leadership of Wanyan Chengqi, wanting to rely on the impact speed of the cavalry to break down the position of the Han army, but as soon as he got out of the city, this guy knew how naïve and ridiculous his ideas were.

War horses are used to sprinting at night, coupled with the deafening explosion, the war horse has long been frightened out of control, and when sprinting, there is no previous speed, no formation, and it looks chaotic.

The chaos was still to come, and the hundred small cannons began to wield, and countless horses were killed, and more were frightened and became insane, throwing off the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom on horseback. Countless soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were trampled to death by war horses, which was very tragic.

Sprint, the current Jin army has no way back, can only sprint, hoping that after rushing over, it can be entangled with the Han army. Once they are killed together, then there is no threat from the artillery.

The idea is plump, and the reality is skinny.

When the cavalry of the Jin State charged forward, something terrible happened, the guns were loud, countless cavalry were shot and fell off their horses, and they couldn't charge into battle at all, let alone get entangled with the Han army, which was doomed to be annihilated. What to do, whether to flee or retreat to the city now has become the most difficult choice in front of the Jin army,

Due to the terrain restrictions, it was impossible for the Jin army to scatter and flee, and it was either necessary to continue to rush forward or retreat. But whether it is to attack or retreat To be honest, there is no standard answer, at least Wan Yan Chengqi doesn't know, this guy is a full nobleman, born in the royal family, and he can be regarded as a talent, but this guy's talent is to play with Wan Yan Liang, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, where is this kind of battle. In fact, you can't blame this gentleman, in fact, no one in this era has experienced this kind of baptism of artillery, and in the face of the rumbling cannons, even Jin Taizu doesn't know what to do.

If you can't beat it, then retreat, at least there is a glimmer of life when you return to the city, you can hide, or you can abandon the city and escape.

After making up his mind, Wanyan Chengqi couldn't care so much, and this guy led his own soldiers to run back desperately.

The Jin soldiers in front didn't know what was going on behind them, and continued to rush ahead to kill, but the Jin soldiers in the back fled to the city after finishing Yan Chengqi, and never dared to come out again.

The golden soldiers in front were destined to be cannon fodder, either shelled or shot, and the miserable fate was already doomed at the very beginning of the war, and no one could change it.

Niu Gao saw the power of artillery fire for the first time, and the Shenwei artillery bombardment of the city was shocking enough, but it was far less than the intensive firing of hundreds of artillery, and those menacing Jin cavalry had no resistance at all, so they were blown up, and this lethality was simply invincible.

After all, the number of artillery hands is limited, and the lethality is very great, but it is still 5,000 musketeers who really kill the Jin army, this group of guys is simply beasts on the battlefield, cold like a killing machine, a group of three, one is responsible for aiming with a gun, in fact, it is densely packed with Jin Army, and it can be shot with eyes closed. One is reloaded, and the other is responsible for ignition. At this time, the Han army was equipped with matches, and the lighting speed was very fast.

In a group of three, the coordination is very skillful, and the frequency of replacement is very fast, which not only ensures strong combat effectiveness, but also reduces unnecessary wear and tear of the musket.

With 5,000 rounds per round, the attack is very smooth and extremely lethal. Swap kills much faster than bows and arrows, and has a longer range. The most terrible thing is that the armor can resist some bows and arrows, but it can't resist bullets at all, and once hit, even if you don't die, you will fall off your horse.

The war was one-sided, this brutal killing, so that Niu Gao couldn't bear to look at it, feeling that this group of Jin troops was a lamb to be slaughtered, the faster the charge, the higher the mortality rate, and there was no possibility of impacting the front at all, basically row by row, the shadow of death shrouded the earth.

In the end, the Jin army left 16,700 entities on the battlefield, as well as 7,800 ownerless war horses.

The war is not over, the nightmare of the Jin army has just begun, under the cover of Shenwei artillery, small artillery is constantly advancing, obviously to blow up the city.

Before dawn, the battle was over, and as the musketeers entered the city, the city fell completely. Wanyan Chengqi did not choose to flee in the end, but chose to commit suicide.

The battle of Huludao ended at dawn.

Niu Gao was greedy, and he begged Zhang Heng to give him a few Shenwei cannons, preferably to lend them to the musketeers.

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Twenty Shenwei artillery pieces are prepared for you, after all, you are the main force attacking the Jin Kingdom, especially when attacking the capital, Shenwei artillery is the most powerful magic." Huining Mansion is the second strongest city in the world after the Eastern Capital, and there are 150,000 elites of the Jin Kingdom stationed in it, and it is not easy to take it. It is necessary for us to send you the Shenwei artillery, the purpose of which is to use it in the attack on Hoeryeongfu. As for the small artillery for Marshal Han Shizhong, and the 10,000 musketeers for Marshal Gao Chong, don't think about it, after our sailors complete the task, they will go out to fight the Zhuanghe River in Liaodong County, so let's say goodbye. ”

Niu Gao knew that Zhang Heng didn't tell the truth, and there must be extra artillery, but he didn't give it, and he couldn't rob it, but this guy finally thought of the terms of exchange, and finally took away a thousand musketeers.

Now the muskets of the Han Dynasty are close to the level of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there is a more advanced musket team, which is close to the level of the Opium War, but the cost is too expensive, the production speed is too slow, and in the end only 3,000 are equipped, of which 1,000 are left by the Son of Heaven as a Praetorian Guard, and the other 2,000 are handed over to the Dragon Wing Army.

Despite this, Niu Gao was still very happy to go back, as soon as this guy went back, he told Yue Fei how powerful the Shenwei artillery was, it was definitely a weapon to break the city.

Yue Fei didn't see it with his own eyes, didn't admit it, and didn't deny it, he said to Niu Gao: "We haven't started a war, now we will attack Linhuang Mansion, this is a military town in the Jin Kingdom, it is an important town second only to Huining Mansion, easy to defend and difficult to attack, stationed 200,000 troops, including 100,000 Jurchen warriors and 100,000 vassal troops, it is difficult to take it." Since you said that Shenwei artillery is powerful, let's test it on the battlefield,"

"Okay, there are four small cities around Linhuang Mansion, shall we kill them one by one, or will we hit Linhuang Mansion first?"
