Chapter 59: Arrange the troops
There are more than 10,000 people in Shuizhai, but only a few thousand Weihaiwei troops are really fighting against the Han army.
The thousands of Ming troops who were watching the battle nearby, the more they watched, the more panicked they became, and they didn't dare to step forward.
Jing Haiwei anxiously shouted: "Mr. Qian, Mr. Qiu, they have retreated." ”
"What, let's get back to the Acropolis."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
The dense two thousand pikemen were close together, staring at the approaching Han army. The drums of war were so fierce that they didn't notice that there were no comrades behind them.
As soon as Wang Wei came ashore and saw the Ming army retreating, he immediately asked the Han Gao army to surround the remaining Ming army from both flanks.
Seeing the enemies appearing on both sides, the two thousand Ming troops were also startled.
Boom~Boom~
Twenty gunboats opened fire, and hundreds of meteor balls blasted towards the battery that had just been fired.
Boom~ The gunpowder of the fort was shot by an iron ball, and the violent explosion flames wrapped the entire fort. The artillerymen who just wanted to fight back were all blown up in an instant.
"What should I do, Mr. Qian, what should I do?" One of the generals asked in a low voice, they were already surrounded and even the courage to rush and kill was gone.
"Surrender or kill." Mu San shouted, and more than 2,000 Mu people also shouted.
"Surrender and don't kill~" If it weren't for the lord's order to kill as few people as possible, the wooden people would have rushed forward.
Wang Wei waved his hand, and the spearmen of the Henkel army immediately spread out a position, and then a thousand archers began to mount their bows and arrows.
President Qian~Put the general~~ The Ming army eagerly looked at the commanders.
President Qian clenched the steel knife and really wanted to rush again, but he was still reluctant to give up the women and children in the family.
Seeing the archer pulling the bow, Mr. Qian hurriedly ordered: "Quick, put down your weapons!" ”
Bumper ~~ The steel landed on the ground and the Ming army surrendered, and a thousand sword soldiers of the Henkel army immediately took them aside to guard them.
As soon as Chen Xiong got off the boat, he was very satisfied to see that 2,000 people had been captured, but the corpses and wounded soldiers on the beach still made him unbearable.
"Wang Wei, stop the bleeding of the wounded soldiers of the Ming army, and leave the rest to fate!"
"It's the lord." Wang Wei immediately led his troops to select the corpses, and as long as they could still move, they were casually bandaged and carried to the other side, and made a fire to keep them warm.
The Han Gao army carried away four or five hundred wounded soldiers, and the Ming army on the ground still had more than a thousand people lying quietly, and the red streams were still moving into the sea.
Chen Xiong also immediately replenished the energy of hundreds of wounded soldiers, but more than 300 Han soldiers still died on the spot. In addition to the nearly 200 people who died in the capture of the ship, the Han army lost a total of 500 people.
A kilometer away, the city wall was lit with torches, and a dense Ming army gathered at the head of the city.
"Send people to Ninghai City, Chengshanwei and other nearby cities to ask for help."
"It's the Chief Soldier."
The sailor was completely lost, and only more than 2,000 of the 7,000 sailors fled back, Qiu Sen looked at the edge of the water village angrily. He couldn't understand why the Han army rushed in so quickly. If he is allowed to line up his troops, he will definitely not let the Han army enter. Although there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses on the Acropolis, as well as hundreds of guns and ten small cannons, Qiu Sen was still not sure to hold the Acropolis. After all, the courage of this guard soldier is famous.
The acropolis is flanked by mountain walls, and if you want to enter Ninghai Prefecture, you have to take a detour. The one-kilometer city wall tightly locks the gap in Ninghai Prefecture, which is also the meaning of the existence of the Weihai Acropolis.
In the dark night when he couldn't see the fingerlessness, seeing that the lord did not break through the acropolis, Yang Muqiu did not move and continued to hide in the forest and wait.
Time is always fast, and dozens of artillery pieces are also carried down at dawn.
General Fei Song commanded the artillery, and the cannon was set up seven hundred meters away from the city gate. Thousands of Han troops also followed, waiting for orders.
"My lord, they are not willing to surrender." The herald said disappointedly.
There were still more than 20,000 people in the city, how could Qiu Sen surrender easily.
"Mr. Qiu, these cannons are not easy to deal with!" Deputy General Jing Haiwei regretted that he had brought his troops over, so why bother to suffer if he was so decent.
Qiu Sen suppressed his anger: "General Gu, it only takes a day or two for reinforcements such as Ninghaicheng and Chengshanwei to arrive, and the Han army will inevitably retreat." ”
"It's fine, if you keep it for two or three days, then it'll be fine." Vice Admiral Jing Haiwei also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that Qiu Sen understands in his heart that Ninghai City Chengshanwei may not come to the rescue! Usually none of them obey anyone, and who will waste their troops to save him. He only hoped that it would not be long before the Han army would retreat, and the tens of thousands of horses gathered in Laizhou were about to attack Dengzhou.
Looking at the Ming army at the head of the city, Chen Xiong sighed and shook his head.
"General Fei Song, let's get started."
Fei Song nodded and waved to his subordinates, and the cannon head shouted immediately after receiving the order.
"Open fire."
Boom boom boom ~~
Dozens of artillery pieces shook one after another, and puffs of dust and smoke rose to make dozens of cannons begin to dim.
Boom~~ The fiery red iron ball made the city wall tremble, and several battlements were smashed into pieces.
A few Ming soldiers who were climbing on the stone slabs, their backs were blood-red, and they didn't dare to shout out.
Boom boom boom ~~
Dozens of artillery pieces bombarded indiscriminately ten times, the city gate had been smashed into powder, and many holes appeared in the city gate tower.
Black smoke and dust were so thick that the artillerymen had to leave the battery to breathe.
The cannon stopped, and General Qiu immediately returned to the city wall. The gate was broken, but the scattered stones and trees blocked the gate.
After a burst of artillery bombardment, the city wall was only partially broken, and the Ming troops in the city suffered few casualties.
The smoke and dust faded, and the Ming army at the head of the city was still condescending.
Chen Xiong shook his head speechlessly: "Fat Song, your Goryeo cannon is not powerful!" ”
Fei Song smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, my lord, this kind of city wall must be used only if the general cannon Hongyi cannon." ”
Chen Xiong nodded understandingly, the artillery power of this era is not very strong. Of course, for the physical body, it is still an invincible artifact.
Chen Xiong looked directly at the head of the city and said lightly: "Wang Weizhan puffed up your archers to disperse to suppress the long-range weapons at the head of the city, and let the shield soldiers cover to avoid the firearms. ”
"It's the lord." Wang Wei accepted the order, and the lord did not treat them as cannon fodder.
"After the Mu San Han Gao army was dispatched, your division was divided into three, one part attacked the city gate and the gravel mouth, one attacked the city wall from four ship ladders, and the last part supported the first two with short spears."
"It's the lord." Mu San received the order and immediately went to explain the arrangement to his subordinates.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Xiong also waved his hand and ordered: "Let's start." ”
Knock knock~~
The Han Gao army, the Han two and the Han three armies walked towards the city wall step by step with the sound of war drums. The archer holds the arrows tightly, and the bow can be raised at any time to shoot from a distance. The wooden shield soldier held the demihuman shield and stared ahead. Thirty wooden men carried the boat to their heads and marched forward, many clutching either swords and shields, or shields and short wooden spears. The wooden soldiers of the siege war now wear iron helmets or leather armor.
Archers in front, what's the use of those boats. Qiu Sen looked at the staircase converted from a small boat, and estimated the height of the city wall to be five meters.
"Send more men at the gates of the city, and find more stones."
"Scattered guns and archers are ready to strike at enemy archers, and fire guns shoot at approaching enemies. Prepare oil torches and burn down the wooden boat. ”
"Obey the general." General Qiu's command was the right thing, and the morale of the Ming troops in each team was also stabilized.
Five miles away in the woods.
Cannon roared in the distance, and the big black man knew that it would soon be his turn to play.
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters Henkel army archers immediately dispersed. They knew that there were scattered ball cannons on the head of the city, and there were bloody holes within 300 meters.
The archers are scattered! Qiu Sen Zou Mei, it seems that the opponent is not a reckless man.
