Chapter 448: How to Play with Naval Guns
Derge was in a hurry, he turned his horse's head and ran to the camp, scolding Nikan gunners for being lazy pigs as he ran, and when did he come out to drag away the cannons. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord Belle, Lord Belle, go from this side." A few Goshha slapped their horses to catch up, and walked west with the Derg class, just kidding, if the Derg class went straight, they would pass by the left edge of the artillery array, if the Ming cannonball projectile did not hit the Derg class, would their guards still have a way to live.
The Derge class was furious, just waiting to break free from these guards, boom, boom, Mingren's cannon began to roar again,
This time, half of the projectiles flew into the artillery array, and three cannons were damaged, and the dust in the artillery array was carried out, and it was a mess.
At this time, from the south gate of Lushun North City, a lot of Han gunners rushed out, and behind them were Shi Tingzhuding and their cronies.
At the end, there are also Han military flags that serve as guards, and they are for the gunners.
Before they could reach the artillery array, there was a roar, and most of the projectiles smashed into the formation, and this time five or six cannons were damaged, and one cannon collapsed with a bang, and it was already torn apart when it reached the ground.
Derge class Yue Tuo was on the side, how dare Shi Tingzhu slacken, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush into the artillery array and fire at the head of the city, after all, it was impossible to drag away the cannon under the fire of the Ming people, but if the cannon counterattacked and destroyed the Ming people's cannon, it was also a good way to survive.
Shi Tingzhu ordered the gunners to enter the position and immediately began to counterattack the head of Lushun City, while the other Han banner soldiers were to help with the attack, and the sooner the better.
As soon as they entered the position, another round of projectiles flew in, setting off a bloody storm.
Fang Dongmen panted and ran into the formation, followed by Lu You.
There was a thud, followed by a few terrible howls. A human body flew over their heads, and the blood of Dapeng sprinkled from the air, splashing Fang Dongmen, Lu You and others, and the bloody qi almost didn't make Fang Dongmen vomit out, but he didn't dare to stop, for fear of being slashed by the Jurchen master.
Several people gritted their teeth and entered the formation. Helping a few gunners carry the projectiles and kits, the gunners are quickly adjusting the muzzles.
Boom, boom, boom, before they could finish their adjustment, another artillery roar, and all the busy people in the formation were tense, their scalps were numb, waiting for a possible unforeseen fate.
This time, most of the projectiles rushed into the artillery array, and immediately the sound of gold and iron colliding violently came, and four or five cannons were hit by the thirty-six-pound projectiles and flew up. Dancing beside them were more than a dozen human bodies, as well as stumps and blood.
The whole artillery array is like hell on earth, the cries and shouts come and go, more than 20 cannons have been destroyed, and now there are only six or seven cannons intact, including the cannon of Fang Dongmen.
Finally, the Han gunners adjusted the cannon, put it into the medicine bag and projectiles that they had carried with great difficulty at Fangdongmen, and remembered to light the fire rope.
Boom, boom, boom. Four guns opened fire one after the other, and the first round of counteroffensive began. As a result, only one shot hit the city wall, splashing a large puff of dust, and the others landed in front of the city.
Then fire and smoke rose from the city, and the counterattack of the Ming army began again. Several twenty-four-pound projectiles rushed into the formation, knocking more than a dozen Han soldiers into the air, and the people in the formation were too dense.
Two cannons were knocked out of their emplacements, and now there are only four usable cannons.
Boom, boom, Jiannu's three cannons began to counterattack. Two projectiles struck the city walls, one of which hit the head of the city, and swept ten paces away from a twenty-four-pounder cannon, wounding one of the Breakers, and then rolling into the city.
Then the twelve artillery guns returned fire, and two more general cannons were damaged, and only two cannons were still able to bombard.
At this time, the outcome has been decided, and there is no need to continue to insist, on the contrary, if the bombardment is not continued, the artillery of the Ming people may also stop, and the last two artillery pieces may remain.
Shi Tingzhu gave an order, and more than 200 gunners and Han army banner soldiers began to evacuate, they simply broke down at a speed of 100 meters sprint, Fang Dongmen and Lu Youyou were lucky to run in it, and this happiness in my heart was needless to mention.
Boom, boom, the artillery of the Ming army did not stop bombarding, they continued to bombard the artillery of Jiannu, and as a result, another artillery was destroyed, so that more than 30 heavy artillery pieces were almost completely annihilated.
Far behind, Derge and Yue Tuo looked at the messy slaughter scene in front of them with resentment, the anger and grievances in their hearts were beyond measure, and they were extremely helpless.
When it comes to horse shooting, no one is afraid of Jiannu, but if it is said that the guns and artillery to defend the city are rude and unheard.
After two more rounds of bombardment, the Breaker finally died down and began to stop the shelling to cool down the artillery, which had actually exceeded the number of times the cannon had stopped dissipating heat, but the fierce battle was in full swing, so it could only be dealt with in this way.
Smoke and dust rose from the artillery position, and many cannons fell to the ground in scattered places, even if they were general artillery, they were also dead generals.
After running out of the artillery position and leaving the most dangerous place, Lu You looked at Fang Dongmen and looked around, and when he was not idle, he said strangely, "Fang Tou, what are you looking at." ”
"Look at what, look at my second brother, our Lord Niulu." Fang Dongmen didn't have a good airway.
At this time when the soldiers were in a hurry, and the projectiles that were not long-sighted were flying everywhere, Fang Dongmen was extremely worried, he had been looking around for a long time, and there was still no whereabouts of the second brother, Fang Dongmen was anxious.
Could it be that the second brother Fang Cai encountered a projectile that is not long, it should not be it, Fang Dongmen thought of this, and his heart trembled.
Now that the Fang family can get a house and land in Jiannu, as well as the good position of a slave, Fang Ximen has fought down, Fang Dongmen asked himself if he was not the material to do this, if there was no second brother, the Fang family might have been separated from his wife a long time ago, and he died of cold and starvation.
Therefore, he couldn't see Fang Ximen, the backbone of the Fang family, Fang Dongmen was really unwilling, he couldn't imagine how the Fang family would survive without his second brother.
"Your Excellency is there, there." Lu You suddenly pointed to a place of nearly two hundred steps to the west, Fang Dongmen looked at it, and saw Fang Ximen and several Han Army Qiniulu nodding and following Lord Shi Tingzhu.
Seeing that Fang Ximen was fine, Fang Dongmen suddenly felt tired, he suddenly fell to the ground, and rested for a while.
The two defeats in two days left Derg speechless, and he sent someone to clean up the mess, while he himself returned to the camp.
After returning to the camp, he consulted with Yuetuo and immediately sent Goshha to inform the Khan of the Lushun war and ask the Khan to decide.
To tell the truth, he really didn't want to talk about it, it was too embarrassing, nearly 40,000 troops did not take Lushun, and they also lost their troops, especially the more than 30 general cannons beloved by King Khan, which were all rare fiascos for the Dajin army in recent years.
But the matter is so out of his Derg's control, and he must report to the Khan for decision.
Because he knew that he was not sure to break through the Lushun guarded by Zhao Lie's troops.
At this time, the head of Lushun City was jubilant, Zhao Lie and other broken army were all moving from one victory to another, and they were used to victory, but Zhang Pan, Zhu Guochang and others had experienced this, and when they saw the giant cannon of the broken army, they were happy in their hearts.
These days, he was abused by the so-called generals of the Jin country, and he hid in Tibet, and lost his life if he was unlucky.
At this moment, seeing the corpses of these culprits lying on the cold ground, and the gunners and Han army flags who drove them suffered heavy casualties, many people cheered after the victory.
These cheers of celebration spread far away, making the Jiannu soldiers and the Han army banner even more discouraged and demoralized.
The night breeze was gentle, and the long-lost full moon looked down on Lushun in the sky, as if to see why there was so much hustle and bustle here for several days.
The Han Army Banner of Beicheng and the Jiannu Armor Battalion in the northwest of Beicheng are very quiet, these days are constantly fighting, but also tired, now Lushun has no hope of seizing, from Beile Ye to no longer urge this soldier, this night can finally rest completely.
At the end of the day, in the cold winter night, a lot of torches suddenly lit up at the north head of the south city of Lushun, many people were busy, and the sentinels of Jiannu hurriedly returned to the camp to report, which was too unusual.
Suddenly, several loud bangs broke the silence of the winter night, and several hot projectiles drew a red line and flew towards the northern city of Lushun, two of which hit the city wall, and one flew over the city wall and broke into the city.
Then the other artillery began to roar, and three projectiles flew into the city, and the city was in an uproar.
Lushun is a castle, and the northern city is also Thursday, and the Han army is stationed here because the Jurchen masters dislike the northern city too aggrieved and not conducive to the cavalry, so it is their turn.
However, there are not too many houses inside, after all, as long as the Jiannu brigade comes, Beicheng will be abandoned, and Zhang Pan will not waste money and food to repair it.
So most of the Han troops were camped in the open air, sheltered by the city wall, and it was still warmer than in the field, but this night, when they were rushed into the city by hot projectiles, burned by the fire, crushed by the projectiles and trampled, they couldn't help but scold the Jurchen masters for having a lot of eyes.
More than 10,000 Han soldiers fled from the north gate of Lushun North City, leaving the small city attacked by fire and iron.
This scene also made the Derge class and Yue Tuo who got up stunned, at a loss, they had never encountered this kind of attack, you must know that there are more than four miles between the south and north cities, and the range of the general's cannon will be enough, but it must not cross the city wall, but the Mingren's cannon can do it, which shows that its power is far above the general's cannon.
And Lushun Cityhead, Zhang Pan and Zhu Guochang, who were invited by Zhao Lie to see the excitement, were also surprised and delighted, they just heard Zhao Lie say that they were going to steal the camp tonight, let them go to the city to have a look, the two of them had nothing to do, the sneak attack on the Jiannu cavalry was really almost unsuccessful, but Zhao Lie recruited each other like this, they couldn't help but come.
The result was a big surprise for them, and the stealing camp could still be played like this.
Only Zhao Lie regretted the most, the position of the camp of the Jiannu armor soldiers in more than seven miles was really not the effective range of the thirty-six-pounder naval gun, which was a pity.
The soldiers of the Han Army Banner fled from the northern city, shivering in the cold winter night and looking forward to the dawn. (To be continued.) )
