Chapter 230: The Cunning Han Chinese

The cavalry in front fell from their horses, but the cavalry in the back couldn't stop, and after a few rounds of shooting, the remaining ten Jurchen soldiers finally understood that the opposite side was not the Dongjiang Army at all, and the Dongjiang Army did not have so many firearms at all.

The Ming army didn't let them struggle for long, the range of the flintlock pistol had been stretched to the maximum, even if these remaining Jurchen soldiers did not attack forward, the bullets of the flintlock pistol were enough.

Looking at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, Li Changshan did not hesitate at all: "Kill, we can't fight with prisoners." ”

Countless sabers were unsheathed, and the dead soldiers on the ground were all mended with fatal swords.

Most of the war horses had been killed or wounded, or fled, and Li Changshan only received less than two hundred war horses, and these ownerless war horses naturally belonged to his first marine division.

In Fuzhou City, there was only one Niu Lu left, and Li Changshan decided to attack it.

On the one hand, Li Changshan sent a battalion of soldiers to cut down trees nearby and create ladders for the siege of the city, and on the other hand, he rushed to besiege Fuzhou City with the rest of the soldiers.

Seeing that the Ming army was pressing towards the south gate in large numbers, the Jurchen soldiers at the head of the city drew their bows and arrows, but the famous army stopped at a hundred paces.

The effective range of the flintlock pistol reached 100 paces, while the range of the Jurchen bow and arrow was only 60 paces, and the range of a powerful soldier would not exceed 80 steps.

The flintlock pistols of the Ming army have been aimed at the Jurchen soldiers at the head of the city, and the Jurchen soldiers are lying on the daughter wall, their bows and arrows are also aiming at the city, and the two sides are deadlocked.

"Shoot."

Li Changshan gave an order, and the bullets of the flintlock pistol, like locusts, flew towards the head of the city, and flew towards the heads and upper bodies of the Jurchen soldiers.

The upper body of the Jurchen soldiers exposed outside the city wall was much smaller than the whole body, but they were almost stationary, just like the target of the Ming army when they practiced, plus the Ming army was too numerous, and more than half of the Jurchen soldiers who were shot had been shot.

The wounded Jurchen soldiers, crying out and falling to the top of the city, and then rolling from the head of the city to the bottom of the city, the uninjured soldiers, continued to use the cover of the parapet wall, estimating the range of the bow and arrow.

The flintlock muskets continued to shoot at the head of the city, until the Jurchen soldiers were no longer visible at the head of the city.

Li Changshan did not immediately give the order to attack the city, he waited until the afternoon, but there were still no Jurchen soldiers, and it happened that the soldiers had already made three simple ladders and transported them.

"Start the siege!"

The ladder leaned against the city wall, and the soldiers who climbed the ladder were only a dozen people, and most of the soldiers still used the flintlock pistols in their hands to point at the head of the city, waiting for the Jurchen soldiers to appear.

There have been no Jurchen soldiers on the city, and the Ming army has climbed up the ladder.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Several Jurchen soldiers who were close to the city wall shot their bows and arrows, and the three Ming soldiers who were the first to climb the city immediately fell.

But the arrows revealed the location of the Jurchen soldiers, and the Ming troops on the ladder began to return fire with flintlock pistols.

The three soldiers at the top of the ladder, after finishing shooting, did not have time to reload ammunition, they just exchanged flintlock pistols with the soldiers behind them.

The two sides fought fiercely for half a pillar of incense at the head of the city, and each fell a few soldiers.

More and more Ming troops climbed the ladder, and the Jurchen soldiers became fewer and fewer, so they had to retreat to the city.

The Ming army took advantage of the situation to occupy the head of the city and cover the soldiers behind to enter the city, but those few Jurchen soldiers had already run away without a shadow.

The Ming army that attacked the city did not pursue, they first opened the south gate of the city, and put the soldiers outside the city into the city, and a large number of Ming troops entered the city, not worrying about where these Jurchen soldiers could hide.

If the Jurchen soldiers abandoned the city and fled, the Ming army was not worried, the west of Fuzhou City was the sea, and in the northeast and southeast, there were ambushes of a division of the Ming army.

Li Changshan also entered the city with the soldiers, and he divided the soldiers into nearly 100 companies in groups of 100 people, searching for lone Jurchen soldiers in the city.

By the time of dinner, the city had fallen silent, and according to the number of Jurchen soldiers' casualties, five Jurchen soldiers had fled, and it seemed that they could only count on the ambush outside the city.

More than 400 war horses were captured in the city, and more than 700 war horses were captured outside the city and collected in Jinzhou, and the 1st Marine Division was fully equipped with two cavalry battalions.

The next morning, the Dongjiang army on Changsheng Island began to enter Fuzhou City, although the number was less than a hundred, but it changed into refreshing clothes and was equipped with Jurchen scimitars, and it was also an army that could not be underestimated.

"Master Li, how did you eliminate Jiannu in one battle?" Liu Yue, the general of the Dongjiang Army, looked envious, and he also reached out and touched the flintlock pistol of the First Marine Division: "Do you rely on this kind of firearm?" ”

"Yes," Li Changshan laughed, "but it's not all, the key is that the soldiers have a confidence in victory." ”

"Senior Commander Li, can you give us a few flintlock pistols?"

"I can't give it to you now, we are traveling lightly, and the guns we bring are very limited, just one per person, and besides, you don't have ammunition supplies, so you won't use them." Li Changshan naturally would not let his subordinate soldiers fight the Jurchen soldiers empty-handed.

"Oh." Liu Yue didn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, he laughed dryly, "When, if we have a flintlock pistol, it will be fine, and we won't let Jiannu drive us to the island." ”

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, Jiannu won't be rampant for too long, Liaodong is about to return to the Ming Dynasty." Li Changshan knew that Zhu Youzhen and Yuan Chonghuan were both on the Northern Expedition, "You quickly send someone to inform General Mao and ask him to cooperate with us and launch a counteroffensive in Liaodong." ”

"Yes, Division Commander Li, we sent someone to see General Mao overnight."

"Mr. Liu, we still have to go on a northern expedition, this Fuzhou City will be handed over to you for the time being, I hope you can guard this city and never fall into the hands of Jiannu again."

"Commander Li, rest assured, we will definitely let General Mao send troops as soon as possible to guard every inch of land in the Ming Dynasty."

The marines rested in Fuzhou City for a long time, and after lunch, the three Marine Divisions left Fuzhou City in turn, and under the guidance of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, they went straight to Yongning City in the north.

This time, Li Changshan's troops surrounded the northern city gate, Jiang Kaiping's troops surrounded the east, and Lin Fucheng's troops were responsible for the south and west.

When the day dawned, the Jurchen soldiers in Yongning City found that they had been heavily surrounded by the Ming army and had completely lost contact with the outside of the city.

History has played a joke again, the Ming army, which is good at defending the city, is now the besieging side, and the Jurchen soldiers, who are good at long-distance raids and decisive battles in the field, can only shrink into the city of Yongning.

Outside the four city gates, there were gunners of the Ming army, but they only advanced to a place about a hundred paces away from the city wall.

The Jurchen soldiers at the head of the city were very sorry, if the Ming army walked forward another thirty or forty steps, they would enter the range of bows and arrows, the bows and arrows in their hands had already been aimed, as long as the Ming army entered the range, these bows and arrows would not hesitate to shoot at the Ming army under the city.

The Jurchen soldiers looked through the battlements of the city wall and found that the Ming army was pointing something like a burning stick at the city, which was presumably a fire # gun.

"Bang, bang......"

The bullets of the flintlock pistol were shot from the battlements to the head of the city, and the Jurchen soldiers, whose heads were exposed from the battlements just now, broke their heads and fell to the ground screaming.

More bullets flew over the top of the parapet, forming a network of fire, almost pushing horizontally, and all the soldiers who craned their necks to look down the city were hit by the bullets.

There was a wail at the head of the city, and the soldiers rolling with their faces and chests in their arms made a mess of the city.

There were no wounded soldiers, and they couldn't figure out what was happening, and from time to time someone poked out of the battlements and saw a large number of Ming troops under the city, and they finally understood the reason for the casualties of the soldiers.

Curiosity hurts!

The Jurchen soldiers, when they figured out the cause of the casualties in the city, they were also included in the group of casualties.

There were some clever Jurchen soldiers, who had been defending against the wall, and they were lucky that none of them were shot.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The other three city gates also kept hearing the sound of flintlock guns, dense and terrifying.

In the eyes of the Jurchen soldiers, the Ming army is crazy, starting from early in the morning, regardless of priority, the four city gates are full of intensive gunfire, what is the Ming army going to do? Are they going to break the city with a fight?

However, the Jurchen soldiers learned to be obedient, and when they stayed in the city, they would never look at the city again, anyway, the Ming army was outside the city, and they loved to toss and toss.

When they were cleaning up the city, they couldn't help but be shocked: the total number of casualties in the four cities of the south, east, and west had exceeded 400.

There were only three cattle in the city, nine hundred people, and in this morning, they lost nearly half of them. Among the 400 casualties, most of them were wounded, but the Jurchens had no medicine or method to treat gunshot wounds, as long as the wounds were in critical positions, they would sooner or later die of fever, and at present, these wounded soldiers had lost the ability to defend the city.

Thrilling, quietly passed among the Jurchen soldiers!

The sound of flintlock guns still came from time to time under the city, and it did not stop even at night, most of the time, it was the Ming army that was venting, and there was no substantial damage to the Jurchen soldiers.

The Jurchen soldiers no longer want to show their heads from the battlements.

If they don't show their heads, there will be sporadic Ming soldiers approaching the city wall, although the Ming army does not carry siege equipment such as ladders and ropes, but their proximity is a threat to the Jurchens.

An uncertain threat is more terrifying than a definite threat.

Like a beautiful woman in a bikini, sunbathing on an unfamiliar beach, and a man in sunglasses with ill intentions, spinning around from time to time, you know what his goal is?

Robbery? Robbery?

Maybe his target is the liver, kidneys, eyes#cornea, and maybe not.

If the Jurchen soldiers wanted to use their bows and arrows to drive away the Ming army under the city wall, they had to lean out and observe the position of the Ming army.

Surrounded by flintlock muskets, it was extremely dangerous to lean out, and the Jurchen soldiers only realized after dozens of casualties: these soldiers were the bait of the Ming army, and they were attracted to the bait!

Cunning Han Chinese!

The Jurchen soldiers directly ignored the Ming army under the city, as long as they did not carry siege equipment, they tossed as they wanted.

The east has faintly appeared in the white, however, the darkness seems to be unwilling to fail, and instantly swallows up this little bit of light, until the dawn officially comes, the darkness officially fades its figure.

It's dark before dawn!

The defenders at the head of the city were not surprised, and they yawned lazily: it was time for the changing of the guard, and they had to go back to sleep.

A few flintlock pistols, sparsely placing a few shots at the head of the city, routinely listless.

At that moment when the darkness attacked, several Ming soldiers, carrying two huge "10,000 enemies", quietly approached the north city gate, they leaned the "10,000 enemies" against the city gate, pressed them with stones, and then pulled out the lead # and went around to the outside of the city gate hole.
