Later, Jin Belle Yue Tuoqi attacked Lushun and occupied the Golden Mountain outside the city, which suddenly made the Yellow Dragon in the city fall into passivity, and the main force of the Ming army went to the mouth of the Yalu River, and there were only more than 2,000 guards left in the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And now the Houjin people have mastered the manufacturing technology of the red-coated cannon, if the artillery is pulled up the Golden Mountain, the entire Lushun is within the attack range of the Houjin people.

For the danger of Lushun, Huang Long could only risk his life, and after he arranged for his generals to hold the city, he decided to take the death squad to make a surprise attack on the Golden Mountain, and if it succeeded, the defense of Lushun could play a role in turning the tide.

Because of the need to ensure the safety of Arthur City, there were not many soldiers who could be dispatched, and only more than 200 people followed Huanglong out of the city.

Huang Long walked in front of the team with armor all over his body, and the soldiers in the team were silent one by one, they all went with the determination to die, because in peacetime the Ming army was not the opponent of the Houjin people, and today the Houjin people not only surpassed the Ming army in numbers, but also had the advantage of terrain. They knew they were going to die, but the duty of the soldiers required them to go.

It was already late afternoon when it was close to the Golden Mountain, and Houjin's brigade was rushing here, leaving little time for the Ming army.

Huang Long told his soldiers to rest for a while and began the attack, and he took the lead in quietly climbing up the mountain under the cover of rocks and trees. A few nimble soldiers quickly overtook him to find his way ahead. Huanglong's only chance was that the Houjin people slackened after easily occupying the Golden Mountain, and the Ming army suddenly appeared to catch them off guard, and the Ming army still had the possibility of winning.

And God did not stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty, originally Huang Long and others had done it very secretly, but it was so coincidental that several Houjin soldiers secretly ran out of curiosity after the leader gave the order to rest, and secretly ran out to look at Lushun City at the height of the Golden Mountain, and when they withdrew their eyes and looked down the mountain, they accidentally found the Ming army that was about to climb to the top of the mountain.

"There are enemies!" A shout woke up the Houjin people who were resting. The Houjin soldiers immediately picked up their bows and arrows and entered the defensive position and looked down the mountain.

"Kill!" Huang Long knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, and took the lead in jumping out of the invisible boulder, drawing his saber and rushing towards the mountain, the arrows on the mountain rained down, and several soldiers around Huang Long were immediately shot to death on the spot, Huang Long relied on the excellent armor on his body, and the sharp arrows that kept flying above his head still rushed forward, and the Houjin people shot more arrows at him, and he had several arrows stuck in his body, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. Seeing that the main general was so brave, the other Ming troops behind were also aroused, and they rushed desperately towards the mountain regardless of the danger.

If people have the determination to die, they will burst out of extraordinary strength, Huanglong really rushed to the top of the mountain, his appearance suddenly disrupted the formation of the Houjin people who were releasing arrows, after being cut down by Huanglong a few people, Houjin only reacted, gave up the bow and arrow together and raised the knife to Huanglong, Huanglong brandished a steel knife to block the rushing enemy, he knew that he held on for a while more, there would be more Ming troops to climb to the top of the mountain, and victory would be a little closer.

When the bows and arrows of the Houjin people were sparse, the Ming army behind the Yellow Dragon also rushed up, and the two sides started hand-to-hand combat on the top of the mountain.

But the poor training level of the Ming army in peacetime determines that they do not have the ability to turn the sky upside down, even if Huang Long brought most of his personal soldiers and the elite of the army this time, he did not take advantage of the hand-to-hand combat with the Houjin people, not to mention that the Houjin people still have an advantage in numbers. The defending Houjin people gathered more and more, the Ming army casualties around Huanglong continued to increase, the number of people became smaller and smaller, and the Houjin people on the mountain next to them also discovered the changes on the Golden Mountain and sent people to reinforce them, Huanglong's personal soldiers saw that the situation was no longer possible, so they had to protect Huanglong to retreat down the mountain. The purpose of the Houjin people was to hold the top of the mountain, and they did not chase after it again.

Huang Long looked at the Houjin people who were celebrating the victory at the bottom of the mountain, although he was unwilling, but he also knew that rushing up could only increase the casualties in vain, so he had to return to Arthur City with the remaining soldiers, and arranged for all the soldiers to strengthen the defense, hoping to hold out for a few more days, and when the reinforcements arrived, things might have a turnaround.

Yue Tuo led a large group of Houjin troops to the outside of Lushun City after a few days of rapid marching, and saw that the Golden Mountain was still in the hands of the Houjin people, and he had a bottom in his heart.

After the Houjin people set up camp outside the city of Lushun, they began to plunder the surrounding areas of Lushun, and the surrounding people immediately fell into disaster. Women were ravaged, old people and children were killed, young men were captured as slaves in the Houjin camp, and even the houses of the people were demolished by the Houjin people in order to use the wood to make siege equipment.

Yue Tuo's army also brought ten red cannons made by the Houjin people, and after having the captured slaves, Yue Tuo immediately ordered the Houjin soldiers to drive the slaves to the mountain to transport the cannons, and under the threat of the Houjin soldiers' leather whips and steel knives, the slaves finally pulled the heavy cannons to the top of the Golden Mountain after half a day's efforts.

After the artillery was installed, Yue Tuo personally ran over to check the situation. Houjin's artillerymen wanted to show off when they saw the commander in person, and quickly loaded the cannon with gunpowder and asked Yue Tuo if he opened fire. Yue Tuo and the other generals retreated to safety, and then waved the order to open fire.

Ten cannons were fired at the same time, and the artillery position was filled with smoke for a while, and the ears of the people with a loud noise were buzzing.

The artillery commander played a cautious eye, now Houjin's artillery occupies the advantage of the terrain of the Golden Mountain, the range of the artillery can cover the entire Lushun City, the artillerymen did not set the target as the city wall of Arthur City, but directly fired the cannonball into the city. In this way, no matter how well the shell is fired, the shell will give the impression of hitting the target. Ten black shells fell in the city of Arthur, hit the roof of the house, directly penetrated the roof, smoke and dust everywhere, the people in the city ran out of their homes in panic, running around, not knowing how to escape the danger of falling from the sky.

"Bombardment of the walls." Yue Tuo was very satisfied with the effect of the artillery bombardment, he was not confused by the showmanship of the artillery, he knew what was needed in the war and where the enemy's vital points were. Now the city of Arthur relies only on the relatively strong city walls.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The artillery commander knew that his cleverness did not play a role, and did not dare to play tricks anymore, so he personally went to the artillery and instructed the soldiers to reset the artillery, calibrate the target, and began the attack on the city wall of Arthur.

After several rounds of artillery firing, the shells finally hit the city walls. The iron cannonballs smashed into the masonry that wrapped the city wall with huge kinetic energy, and immediately smashed the masonry into pieces and fell from the city wall, and several large holes appeared in the city wall, revealing the rammed earth inside.

"Okay, very good, continue to bombard, we must blast out the gap in the city wall, and then the army will enter Arthur City, and you will be given three days off to do what you want." Yue Tuo was satisfied with the effect of the artillery bombardment, and left the top of the hill and returned to the barracks to prepare for the siege. (To be continued.) )
