"Fire!"

Boom Boom!

The "Deng Yingzhou" led 10 gunboats in the middle of the harbor and shelled targets on the shore.

Xu Shiyang stood at the bow of the "Dengyingzhou" ship, holding a telescope that had just been produced by Qi Province in his hand, carefully inspecting the effect of the shelling.

Well, it seems to be working well, but it's hard to say how it actually is.

After all, his fleet only has 4 and 8 pound small cannons, and all the guns are improvised cameos for the army, and their destructive power to solid targets is very limited.

The only advantage is that several medium-sized ships that are now used as gunboats have special naval gun mounts, and if the army is on board the ship, their field guns can be mounted on the gun carriage and used as naval guns, and then installed on the land gun carriage as field guns after getting off the ship.

This kind of slamming the door can also be regarded as a compromise of Xu Shiyang's reality of the situation.

Under the cover of gunboats, small ships loaded with soldiers of the Forces nouvelles were constantly transporting people to the shore.

In order to make a smooth landing, Xu Shiyang chose to use a large number of bird boats and sand boats with shallow draft as "landing ships", and these small boats could directly rush to the vicinity of the shallows and then lay down the soldiers.

This saves a lot of valuable landing time by not having soldiers move from the big boat to the small rowboat and then land.

Yet trouble kept coming.

First of all, after entering the port, Xu Shiyang discovered that the various ships in Arthur Port were simply docked indiscriminately, and his fleet could not find a suitable position for all the soldiers to land quickly.

Even if only one brigade landed first, the subordinate units could only be dispersed in a few different positions.

Secondly, the negligence of the Tartars in the port work caused all kinds of uncertainties in Port Arthur, even though Xu Shiyang used a large number of shallow draft boats, there were still a few ships stranded inside the port, and more ships approached the shore only to find that they could not sail to a suitable position.

At least a few hundred soldiers of the Dingyuan Brigade were impatient, and jumped directly into the icy sea water and tried to wade ashore.

Xu Shiyang's eyelids jumped in this scene, the proportion of musketeers in the soldiers of the Dingyuan Brigade was too high, although the gunpowder he carried with him had waterproof measures, but with the waterproof technology of this era, there was no need to expect all musketeers to be able to exert their combat effectiveness normally.

Fortunately, the Tartar defenders reacted very slowly, and the enemy army appeared for the first time after the new army landed more than 6 infantry companies.

Moreover, no more than 200 enemies appeared in the first wave, and with the support of two Shenji guns that landed first, the new army easily repelled the first wave of the Jin army's counterattack.

In this case, the benefits of the super-light artillery of the god machine gun are shown - the small-caliber god machine gun that fires 2 catties of shells can be carried directly to the shore by two soldiers, and the gun carriage can be carried away by another soldier.

With superior manpower and firepower, pure melee soldiers have almost no chance.

Xu Shiyang's landing began at about 9 a.m., and although the enemy was weak and weak, it was not until about 3 p.m. that only the 1,500-strong Dingyuan Brigade and half of the trapped troops completed the landing.

The cavalry of the Jingyuan Brigade who came with them had not even begun to land, because all their horses were on large ships, and those inferior horses were no worse than Tartars in their fears of the sea, and it was too difficult to move them to small boats.

In the end, Xu Shiyang had to give up the idea of letting the Jingyuan brigade land, and began to order the auxiliaries to build a pontoon bridge so that the horses could land directly on the shore.

Then he himself led the Guards (excluding cavalry) to land.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Dingyuan Brigade, the trap soldiers and the Guards infantry completed the landing work, and at this time the new army had more than 2,500 soldiers on the shore of Lushun (the field artillery and cavalry of the Dingyuan Brigade had not landed), 6 magic machine guns and about 1,200 auxiliaries.

The auxiliaries are now building pontoon bridges, while the combat units are beginning to move forward to expand the landing grounds.

It didn't take long for the main force of the Tartars to appear.

Xi Bo and Xiao Fonu led 1,500 armored soldiers and more than 1,000 unarmored soldiers to approach the coast, preparing to launch a counterattack on the landing new army.

Xiao Fonu was on his horse, and from a distance he could see the orderly formation of the infantry of the New Army.

He felt bitter for a while, the last time the Great Khan led all the mobile troops of the Jin army south to attack Qi Province, he did not follow the expedition, so the losses of his men were not large.

But after the army retreated in embarrassment, Xiao Fonu also heard from others about the strong combat effectiveness of Qi Province's soldiers.

Many real Jurchen people say that in the trenches of small and medium-sized white soldiers, the Han people in Qi Province are actually not inferior to the real Jurchen armor soldiers.

If this statement is true, it means that Xi Renbing cannot be the opponent of Qi Bing, and as Xi Ren's fierce exuberance, Xiao Funu has no real Jurchen armor soldiers under him at all.

Facing an opponent whose combat strength was stronger than his own, the number of troops was much smaller, and before the battle started, Xiao Fonu felt that he might not be able to win.

Besides, even if you win, what can you do?

It is said that there are ten thousand households in Bo Ji, but there are actually only more than 4,000 households in his hands, and the real Jurchen is unwilling to give him that many armor, and there are actually less than 2,000 armor soldiers in his hands, and there are more than 8,000 unarmored soldiers.

Therefore, the troops who are now following him are the absolute main force of Xiao Fonu, and if they fight hard with others here and suffer heavy losses, those true Jurchens in Liaoyang who are undoubtedly hungry and red-eyed will definitely tear him to pieces.

Xiao Fonu began to feel a little aggrieved, he was a mocking person, had he ever entered the customs to rob the Han people, why did those Qi soldiers come to trouble him?

It put him in a dilemma.

Of course, since the other party has already come, it is naturally impossible to say hello and leave, and in this situation, Xiao Fonu has to fight if he doesn't want to.

The two armies quickly approached, and on Xu Shiyang's side, the first battalion of the Dingyuan Brigade was the center, the second battalion was placed on the left flank, and the trapping camp was on the right flank, forming an offensive triangular formation.

6 Shenji guns were lined up on each flank, forming a flank attack on the Tartars, and Xu Shiyang led the 400 soldiers of the personal guard as the general reserve.

Xiao Fonu's formation was a little simpler, and his 1,200 armor soldiers directly lined up in three horizontal formations and slammed straight towards Xu Shiyang.

The armoured soldiers were flanked by 300 cavalrymen, and behind them were unarmored soldiers with only swords and bows and arrows.

If it is a Jurchen field battle, a large number of stragglers are usually sent in front to shake the opponent's formation as much as possible.

However, the Xi people did not have such strong combat effectiveness - when the Great Liao still existed, the Xi people had gradually transformed into an agrarian nation, and their skirmishment ability was far from the Jurchen hunters who came out of the deep mountains and old forests.

As slaves of the Jurchens, the Xi people did not have the military morale to independently conduct skirmishers.

Therefore, Xiao Fonu simply did not send out stragglers, and planned to collide directly to see if he could restrain the enemy troops who had just landed in terms of momentum.

Of course, he could not succeed, Xiao Fonu did not dare to send stragglers, Xu Shiyang did dare, when the two sides approached a distance of about 300 paces, about 100 elite selectors armed with waist knives, bows and arrows, and flintlock pistols began to accelerate, approaching the Jin army in twos and threes.
