Chapter 441: Heavy Artillery Opens the Way
When Tuhai received the report, he hurriedly came down from the city and went to the city to reorganize his armor soldiers, and at the same time sent someone to know that he had led troops to attack the city, and asked him to lead the troops to withdraw from the city.

Earlier, they were all facing the Han army and the blue flag armor soldiers who were entering the city or waiting for the south gate to open and enter, totaling more than 5,000 people, and regrouped towards the sea, waiting for the Ming army to land and then fight a decisive battle.
At this time, the fleet under Zhao Lie's command had arrived at a place that was only more than two miles away from the Nancheng wharf, and began to lower the sail and reduce the speed.
Zhao Lie had already watched the situation in Lushun South City with a telescope, and saw that Jiannu could only enter the city and could not enter through the city gate, so he knew that Jiannu was Fang Po City, and the city was still resisting, otherwise the city gate would have been opened a long time ago.
He breathed a sigh of relief, since he set off from Shidao, he had no leisure for a moment, except for a day in Jeju to load and unload soldiers, the rest of the time was on the sea, and finally caught up with a late market.
He calculated the strength of the troops in his hand, he brought the two soldiers of Jeju and the two reserve troops of Beihua to Lushun, not that he did not want to bring more soldiers, but it was really not enough, the main force of the merchant ships to transport refugees to Beihua has not returned so far, in Jeju Zhao Lie is to change ten Song-class warships into merchant ships to transport soldiers, which is enough capacity, otherwise it is impossible to transport these 4,000 men and horses, grain, and baggage.
Although the Lushun in front of him has not completely fallen, it seems that it is also in danger, and there is no time to delay. Although the troops in hand are insufficient, but with the support of a large fleet, there is no problem in landing and galloping.
Zhao Lie immediately ordered to start the landing and immediately reinforce Lushun, and it would be troublesome if Lushun was taken down for a long time.
Ten Tang-class warships, including Li Ji, Hou Junji, Chai Shao, Heiya Changzhi, and Cheng Zhijie, began to turn. Fight the enemy with the side side.
The more than 5,000 people of Jiannu have just finished forming a team. This time, the Han army was pushed to the front near the sea. Tuhai is also impossible, and many armored soldiers are really overwhelmed to fight near the sea.
"Tuhai, why are you forming a team here, quickly retreat to the east, quickly." Tu Hai was watching the enemy, and a shout from behind him was simply a reprimand, and when he heard it, it was Hailai's voice. This makes him extremely unhappy, Peat, you are the same as I am the Gel Ezhen, and a certain is the commander appointed by the two Belle Lords of the Derge class Yueto, how can you talk to me, when he is a Nikan slave.
He turned around and was about to scold Hailai.
Boom, boom, boom, the deafening sound of cannons came, and more than 300 guns on the sides of ten Tang-class and nearly ten cruisers opened fire, and the roar of the guns drowned out the voices of thousands of people at the Nancheng pier in the bay.
Most of the hundreds of projectiles rushed into Jiannu's military formation, and countless bloody paths were immediately struck. Armor, soldiers, and horses flew out in various shapes, and fragments of armor and men and horses flew away. The docks are hellish and terrifying.
Hailai watched Tu Hai, who turned around, instantly shattered by a projectile, flying debris everywhere, and blood even sprayed onto Hailai's body and face ten steps away.
Just one round of attacks, the Jin army's military formation collapsed, the first to collapse is really not the Han army's military formation, this is not to say that they can resist the artillery bombardment, this is flesh and blood can not resist at all, but they no matter how frightened they are, they dare not flee, after all, there is the military formation of Jiannu, if they dare to escape, they will be killed immediately, so even if it is bloody everywhere, they still suppress their fear and stay in place.
On the contrary, the Jiannu blue flag armor soldiers behind the Han army immediately collapsed, and they rushed to the corner of Lushun City in the east.
The Jiannu soldiers have been circling in the white mountains and black water grasslands all their lives, they have extreme ignorance and fear of the sea, sometimes calm and sometimes violent sea is mysterious and frightening for them, for the sea ships, most of the Jiannu have never seen, let alone understand.
Therefore, when these giant ships spewed out a thick fog and fire, and hundreds of projectiles were fired between them in an instant, sowing death and terror, the Jiannu armor soldiers out of ignorance, out of bloody terror, and had the fear that they could not fight, and they did not wait for the military order to go like a horse in Dongcheng.
Hailai couldn't control it no matter how he restrained it, as soon as the Jiannu soldiers went, the Han army was overjoyed, and the Jurchen masters of the prison army all ran away, what are we waiting for, they immediately rushed to escape from the dock.
They were greeted by another round of artillery roar, another mess, and many soldiers fell to the ground dead or howled miserably.
By the time of the third round of bombardment, there were very few people hit, and most of the soldiers had already fled the dock, after all, it was very time-consuming and laborious for the cannon to turn the muzzle and adjust the angle at this time.
This is the end of the bombardment of the warships.
The fleet didn't need to do more, there were only a lot of casualties and dead horses of the Han army Jiannu left near the dock, and there was flesh and debris everywhere, it was a hell on earth.
At this time, there were scattered Jiannu soldiers from the head of Lushun City, and they were surprised to find that the army outside their city had fled, leaving casualties everywhere.
This was a major rout that Jiannu had not seen in many years.
By the time the guns of the warships turned their guns and adjusted their angles, the routers had almost fled, so all the ships did not continue to fire and waste ammunition.
At this time, the five large sand ships behind began to move closer to the dock, their bottoms were flatter and their freeboard was lower, and they were the most suitable to transport troops to land.
Due to its low freeboard, it is not safe to sail long distances, and sand boats are suitable for coastal operations, but they are suitable for beach operations.
Therefore, the five sand boats in Jeju were transferred, and it was not until yesterday when they approached Lushun that the first soldier Qian Zong to land did not board the sand boats.
At this time, the five warships landed first, and the Jeju soldiers rushed out of the boats, they got used to the solid ground a little, let their legs from the shaky state to the stable ground, and then they carried a large number of repulsive horses from the ship and rushed to the shore.
This time, the two soldiers were commanded by Wei Mingtao, who had been depressed for a long time, and now had the opportunity to lead an army alone, of course, he was in high spirits, at this time he had just landed on the sand boat, and immediately commanded the soldiers to swing the rejected horses to the west, cutting off the road from Dongcheng to the dock, the purpose was to prevent the impact of the large cavalry of Jiannu.
Although it is protected by heavy artillery, what if any of the Jiannu soldiers rushes in regardless of the casualties, after all, the time when the army lands is the weakest.
The soldiers erected one horse barrier on the west side and two horses on the east side, and the same was true of the troops, with seven hundred soldiers guarding the east side and only three hundred men on the west side.
Wang Zheng was disembarking from the Wu Jie, and Luo Dong stayed behind the ship's hall, while he climbed up the net ladder with a few soldiers to the sand boat that came back to pick them up.
The soldiers who were still left above handed down the armor one by one, and the soldiers below then put it down, this process has been practiced many times, although they have not experienced the battle formation, but they are proficient in swimming and riding horses when they land on the boat, street fighting, and they have no experience on the battlefield.
Wang Zheng looked at the dock in Lushun from a distance, the soldiers on the dock were still busy, and the ground was full of dense corpses.
He raised his eyes to look at the not too big Lushun City, his heart was extremely agitated, how many years, he finally set foot on the land of his hometown again, the kid who killed the enemy and fled is now back as the general of the Broken Army, Itaia, I am back.
"Hurry, hurry." He turned and shouted.
Fang Yuanshan climbed the rope ladder and boarded the sand boat, he followed the brothers of Shili one by one, Hu Cheng, Li Guang, Tong Ying, Wang Hong and others boarded the boat one by one, and the last to board the boat was Zhenfu Luodong and his two guards.
"Check the armor." Qian Zong Tang Zhen shouted.
This sand boat was crowded with four hundred generals, as the main force entering the city, they should be the first to enter the city, so it is unthinkable that the armor is not all there.
"The armor is complete."
"The armor is complete."
"The armor is complete."
"The armor is complete." Wang Zheng finally shouted.
"Sail the boat." Tang Zhen shouted.
The sand boat starts slowly under the control of sailors, and some sailors keep paddling their oars to make the boat move faster.
"All in armor." Tang Zhen yelled.
All the more than 400 people began to wear each other's armor, which was necessary for the landing, and the steps that had been practiced for a long time kept sounding for a while.
All the soldiers put on their armor, and finally all the soldiers were dressed before they reached the docks.
As soon as the ship docked, all the soldiers stepped onto the dock from the pedals of the sand boats.
As soon as they boarded the dock, the big guys' legs were a little weak, but they knew that it would be good to walk a few hundred steps after many drills, and they didn't care.
Fang Yuanshan and Quan Shi stepped on the dock, he suddenly felt slippery and greasy under his feet, he looked down, a piece of skin and flesh under his feet, it must have been shattered by a projectile, Fang Yuanshan's stomach churned.
Zhao Guang also stepped on an object, a broken arm, "Phew, it's really unlucky." He kicked the severed arm away.
On their way to the city walls, the hundreds of soldiers saw a wharf in disarray, littered with fragments of armor and the corpses of men and horses lying down.
A Jiannu soldier was groaning, his right arm torn open, revealing the white bones and red flesh within.
Under him was already black and red blood, a large amount of bleeding had made him gradually fall into a semi-coma, Wang Zheng passed by him, a shot stabbed him in the neck, but when he heard a sound, the neck of this Jiannu armor soldier was almost broken.
Wang Zheng's subordinates watched Mr. Bai draw his spear expressionlessly, and then on the way, Wang Zheng killed three Han soldiers and Jiannu's wounded soldiers, making his subordinates look sideways.
When they came to the south city, many of the ladders left by Jiannu were still standing there, and when Tang Zhen was about to give the order to go up the ladder to the city, the south gate of Lushun rattled and suddenly opened from the inside. (To be continued.) )
