Chapter 436: Bombardment of Lushun
"Quick, quick, harder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Fang Ximen shouted, he was directing his soldiers to escort the general's cannon to Lushun.
The soldiers under his command struggled to push the heavy artillery cart of the general's cannon, this is the east bank of the Lushun River, after here, less than ten miles to the southeast is the city of Arthur, which can be said to be close at hand.
Due to the great power of the general's cannon in the battle of the Daling River, the battle was used again, Fang Ximen led several Han army Niu Lu guards dragged in the last artillery team, but the land on the east bank of the Lushun River was soft, and only a few cattle could not pull the heavy artillery carriage, so the Han army often had to help.
In fact, this work is light, Lushun Ming army may send troops to attack the artillery team, give them a hundred dares not dare, so the safety is safe, and this road is the territory of the Jin country, this place is the boundary of the two sides, the population is barren, there is no Han people from where to loot, there is no oil and water, so this work plan Fang Ximen is extremely satisfied.
He knew that this was a good errand arranged by the chief military officer of Shi Tingzhu, at least there was no need to build a camp for the Jurchen masters.
Of course, he didn't dare to be careless, if there was a mistake, it would be a matter of coming to see him.
"Lord Niu Lu, do you want the brothers to rest, these thirty-five cannons are pushed up, but they are tired enough." In front of outsiders, Fang Dongmen has always been the official title of his younger brother.
"Hmph, who dares to rest, the two big Baylors in front of us have been waiting for us for two days, if we don't arrive as soon as possible, at least we will be whipped, and if we don't get it right, we will have to cut off our heads, do you dare to rest." Fang Ximen rolled his eyes, this big brother is too good at seeing things, what time is it now.
If the artillery team is late, even Lord Shi Tingzhu will have to eat melons and fish, not to mention his little cow Lu.
Fang Dongmen shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak, and honestly went back to direct the people and carts. Fang Dongmen also recognized a leader under the help of his younger brother, and there were also thirty or forty people under him.
The artillery team continued to move forward under the escort of thousands of Han soldiers and hundreds of Han gunners, aiming at Lushun, the last city in eastern Liaodong defended by the Han less than ten miles away.
"Zhang Pan, the Great Khan of Dajin doesn't care about his past suspicions, as long as you surrender, you can become a first-class commander-in-chief. Commanded 3,000 elite soldiers of the Han army, forming a battalion of its own。。。。。 ”
Two hundred steps north of the south city of Lushun, a Han army flag guerrilla was shouting the will of Huang Taiji in an attempt to persuade Zhang Pan to surrender.
He was answered by a roar of several cannon shots, and several projectiles rushed towards his left, although they did not hit, but he was so frightened that he hurried back to his horse and ran.
Zhang Pan looked coldly at a few Han people throwing their heads away, he looked at the camp of tens of thousands of slaves from a distance, this time I am afraid that he himself may die without a place to be buried.
The day before yesterday. More than 20,000 Jiannu and 20,000 Han troops crossed the Lushun River and drove directly to Lushun, Zhang Pan had already known about Jiannu's attack, and he was not a vegetarian if he didn't collect at night.
Due to the strength of the incoming enemy, he was not sure to hold the two cities, so he gave up the north city and guarded the south city with more than 3,000 soldiers, and also controlled the dock behind. This is the lifeline of Lushun, and the arrival of reinforcements can only come by sea.
Fortunately, Lushun South City is now more than three feet taller. All the bricks are covered, and the city defense is much more stable than the city defense in the fifth year of the Apocalypse.
But there are a large number of Jiannu who came this time, and there are 20,000 Jiannu soldiers alone, and Zhang Pan is also bottomless about whether he can hold Lushun.
Zhang Pan looked at the Jiannu army and still had no intention of dispatching, it was already evening. It seems that Jiannu has no intention of attacking the city.
He ordered General Zhu Guochang to be on duty, and he returned to the mansion to rest for a while, after all, in the past two days, he had only slept for three hours, and he was also sleepy.
Back home. Mrs. Liu's wife waited for him to bathe and change clothes, and the servants brought hot meals and hot dishes, and Zhang Pan ate them in a big gulp, he was also hungry.
At this time, two little beans ran in, they were the two twin sons he had just given birth to by the Liu family five years ago, and now they are his treasures, and because they think of the children who died in Liaoyang when they see these two children, they are spoiled.
The two beans don't care if he eats or not, they climb on his lap and eat it, Zhang Pan fed them with a smile, Liu came over and hurriedly pulled the child over to feed himself, his master finally came back to eat quietly and take a rest, Liu didn't want him to be upset.
"Master, can this Lushun be kept," Liu hesitated for a moment and asked, seeing Zhang Pan's uncertain face, he hurriedly said, "The concubine will definitely stay to accompany the master, but the two children are still young, can the master let the sailor take the two children away." ”
Liu also knew that there were tens of thousands of Jiannu besieging the city, and she was also deeply afraid that Lushun would not be able to defend it, she was counting on the master to allow this matter, in her opinion, the safety of her two sons was greater than the sky.
Looking at Liu's expectant eyes, and then at the two children who didn't know the danger and played while eating, Zhang Pan's heart softened, "Not now, the sailor is strictly investigating the families of the soldiers who secretly escaped, if my Zhang Pan's family members evacuate at this time, I am afraid that the army's heart will collapse." ”
Seeing Liu's eyes darken, he finally couldn't bear it, "Master, I will arrange a boat to wait at the dock, and I will definitely let Wang Cheng pick you up and wait for you to get on the boat when the time comes." ”
Wang Cheng is Zhang Pan's close subordinate, and now he is guarding the southern city, and he is also responsible for strictly inspecting the dock, so he is just in time to let him go.
Hearing this, Liu couldn't help but hug the two children tightly and smile slightly.
At the beginning of the second day, Jiannu's camp began to smoke and smoke, and Zhang Pan, who had received the report, hurriedly put on his clothes, and Jiannu began to make food so early, and he must be attacking the city.
At the end of the hour, the camp of Jiannu was opened, and a team of Jiannu cavalry and infantry armor and 20,000 Han army flags began to open out of the camp and Beicheng.
Immediately, the boundaries of the north city and the south city were filled with several miles, and the people shouted that the horses were neighing, and the flash of the armor stinged the eyes of the Ming army at the head of the city.
Compared with the domineering Jiannu, Lushun Nancheng is silent, this is the most powerful enemy encountered by the Lushun defenders, all of them know that the situation is not right, and they are silently watching the enemy's actions.
Zhang Pan also has no way, there are only more than 3,000 soldiers, guarding the southern city, facing more than ten times the strong soldiers of Jiannu, it is normal for the defenders to be demoralized, of course, there is a back road on the water, which is also a reliance on the defenders of Lushun.
Derge and Yue Tuo sat side by side on their horses, looking at the head of Lushun City,
"Yue Tuo, this Lushun South City has been renovated, and the head of the city is probably three zhang high." Derg put his hands on the pergola and looked out.
"Well, it's true, in the early years it was just a two-foot high wall, and it seems that it was right to bring in the cannons." Yue Tuo said happily, the three-zhang high city and Zhang Pan, a fierce general, if there is no cannon to help, it is not that he will not be able to take this southern city, but he is afraid that it will be extremely damaged.
"Then let's take a look at it with artillery bombardment?" Dege asked with a smile, don't look at him as Yue Tuo's uncle, but Yue Tuo is Huang Taiji's celebrity, and he is a maternal brother of Mang Gurtai, close to Mang Gurtai, Mang Gurtai died of a violent illness, and Huang Taiji had to hand over the Zhenglan Banner to him to lead due to the rules, but in fact, he was wary of him in every way.
This time, no one knows the purpose of letting him fight this hard bone and weakening the positive blue flag, but he has to stay up.
Therefore, in the face of Yue Tuo, the so-called deputy general, he didn't dare to hold it up, and discussed everything.
"But of course, in the Daling River, you mainly blocked the Ming army in the west, and you didn't see the cannons reckless, hum, the tunforts around the Daling River were all bombarded by artillery, and after leveling the three tunpus, as long as the other tunforts saw the cannons erected, those Nikans would immediately surrender."
Yue Tuo said proudly,
"At this time, we know the reason why the Khan King is the main reason for casting cannons, these general cannons are indeed siege weapons, and the Khan King is indeed like a torch."
Nima, you are the eighth dog's leg, the power of the general is really as great as you boasted, why didn't you collapse the Daling River, and in the end, it was not a forced landing after the siege and food was cut off, Derge scolded in his heart, but his face echoed with a smile, "I see, I should look at the power of the general's cannon." ”
From this point of view, Derge is much stronger than Mang Gurtai, at least he is not happy and angry on the surface, and Mang Gurtai only needs to look at his face to know his likes and dislikes.
"This time the King of Khan asked me to cut off the head of Zhang Pan, I'm afraid it is not easy to do, there are dozens of warships in the harbor behind Lushun, each ship has cannons, which can bombard the south gate and help the southern city guard, which leaves a way back for the Ming people."
Derge clicked his mouth, very helpless.
"Hehe, this is not in a hurry, the sailors sent by the King of Khan will arrive in the next two days, and they will have their own to deal with the Ming sailors and cut off the back road of the Ming army." Yue Tuo didn't care, the Khan King had always had no last resort, how could he miss the Lushun sea route.
Derge smiled and smiled without words, this greasy in his heart, he didn't know a lot of things as the main general, and Yue Tuo, who was the deputy general, was indeed clear, so that he, the master, would become a laughing stock.
You bastards, follow the eighth child to kneel and lick it, when the eighth cleans up and waits for us, the end of your waiting will not be much better, the eighth is learning from the Central Plains Nikan to centralize power, you wait for these fools, Derge slandered.
Jiannu's rear formation was busy, dozens of behemoths were pushed out from behind one by one, Zhang Pan's first look immediately recognized that this was a giant cannon, and his heart sank, although after the battle of Dalinghe, he deliberately strengthened the city defense of Nancheng again, just to guard against Jiannu's giant cannon, but whether he can resist it, that is a matter of God knows.
After the cannons were pushed into the running position, the gunners of the Han army in Jiannu began to test the artillery, and after two rounds of test cannons, thirty-five cannons began to fire in a salvo, and immediately the roar resounded throughout Lushun, and due to the obstruction of the southern and northern cities, the sound of the artillery was very congested, and the roar of the artillery doubled.
Even the two people who were close at hand couldn't hear clearly, the boom and boom kept going, Jiannu's gun emplacements were almost always shrouded in ****** smoke, and the smoke and dust from the projectile hit in Lushun Nancheng rose, and the entire southern city loomed and hid in it.
