Chapter 1361 Jinzhou, Jianzhou, Xuzhou
A cannonball fell in the queue of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the defenders at the head of the city watched the flesh and blood flying in the Jurchen queue, and they were almost beaten by this cannon.
The Jianzhou Jurchen army formation was suddenly chaotic, the generals roared angrily and let people disperse and retreat, and the soldiers of the Jianzhou Jurchen Eight Banners scattered, but the soldiers on the other side of the artillery array also wanted to escape, but they were cut down with knives, and they could see that there were leaders with knives, and the artillery soldiers were forced to turn around and operate the artillery, and it seemed that they also wanted to use artillery to block.
I could see the white smoke constantly rising from the side and deck of the ships at sea, this was the artillery firing, but what made the defenders of Jinzhou wonder was that the frequency of firing artillery at sea was too fast, and they began to think that many guns were firing at the same time, and if you looked closely, there were only more than 20 guns, and the gap between the cannons was several times faster than that of the two Jurchen guns.
The shells kept falling on the position, and the missed shells were the majority, but whenever they hit, even if they landed near the Jurchen army array, they would splash a large area of sand and stones, and many people would fall to the ground screaming, not to mention that the shells would bounce up again after they landed.
The soldiers in front of the two Jurchen guns kept running away, and when the two shells fell nearby, they no longer had the heart to insist, and regardless of the coercion of the Jurchen generals behind them, they were directly scattered, and some people wanted to stop them, but they were directly knocked over by the artillery with cannon brushes and cannon sticks, and fled without looking back.
This face saw that the defenders of the city were very happy, but at this time no one mentioned anything to stop them from going out of the city, and the shell landed on a big pit, which caused the splash of earth and stones, and everyone could see that the splashed earth and stones hit the Tartar, and immediately made a hole, and the blood gushed out, who would dare to go outside to die.
But after all, the shells were fired from the sea, and even if the range of the cannon exceeded the imagination of the defenders and the Jianzhou Jurchens, they could still avoid it after retreating, and after judging the limit of the range, they began to gather the team.
"In this way, I'm afraid that we can only see, and the Tartars will block the port, and they won't be able to come up!"
Those who know how to use troops can see the current situation, the Jianzhou Jurchens have shrunk their ranks but have not collapsed, if your ships are always bombarded, then go with you, if you want to go ashore, the cannons will definitely stop, at this time, the Jianzhou Jurchen teams will pounce on them to intercept, after occupying the port, you will not be able to go ashore, if you open fire, then continue to retreat, so that the Jianzhou Jurchens on land are more calm and confident.
Even if all the defenders of Jinzhou are dispatched to contain them, there is no way to do it in the current situation, the advantage of more than 7,000 people in Jianzhou Jurchen is too great, and they can be blocked by dividing their troops.
Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and the generals of Jinzhou thought very clearly, if they wanted the current situation to be eased, they had to let the people on the ship go ashore.
Before they could come up with an idea, someone suddenly shouted, "A boat has rushed up!" ”
Boat? Rush up? At first glance, when they heard this, everyone was confused and didn't know what to say, but then they saw that the wind was blowing from west to east, and three big ships were already full of sails and were rushing towards the shore.
Is this crazy? The front of the ship is not a dock berth, even if there is a dock berth, such a speed will collide with it, not to mention that the position they rush is a tidal flat, which is full of gravel, as long as they go up, they will immediately run aground, and if they don't know it, they will be hit by the reef and break the hull.
The defenders at the head of the city were stunned, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses who were waiting under the city were also stunned, and they didn't know what the other party was going to do.
As everyone expected, the ship washed up on the gravel beach, the ship ran aground, and no one knows whether it hit the boulder on the beach, but everyone can almost confirm that the ship will not be able to return to the sea.
What is this going to do? As soon as I was surprised, I saw the rope nets dropped from the decks of the three ships, and many people rushed out of the boats to climb down the rope nets, and after standing on the tidal flats, they simply lined up, and then ran towards this side.
At this time, the Jianzhou Jurchen team also reacted, now that the enemy has landed on the shore, then the artillery will definitely not sound, and take advantage of this time to drive the enemy into the sea, this momentum is not right, if it continues, I don't know what moths will come out.
The Zhao Jiajun who landed did not run too far, but lined up in front, and there were really a lot of soldiers transported by the three ships, and from a distance, there must be nearly a thousand people, and they were lined up in a dense square over there.
The Jianzhou Jurchen army formation began to move, the cavalry took the lead, the foot soldiers lined up, and marched quickly in the direction of the port, the soldiers who controlled the two artillery pieces had fled, and now they could only engage in white-handed battles, and the real swords and guns were fighting, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers were always full of confidence.
The boat that washed up on the gravel beach was big enough, and after so many people got off the boat, there were still things to unload, but it was not clear from a distance, who could still take care of so much, just rushing, rushing to the front of the brave wins.
"Shall we go out?" Zhang Pan subconsciously asked, the Jurchen soldiers and horses who came to Jinzhou fought very rigorously, even if the main force went to block the landing, it still left enough battalions to keep an eye on Jinzhou.
Chen Jisheng looked at the direction of the gravel beach and was speechless for a while, by this time, it was no longer a decisive factor for the Jinzhou defenders to leave the city and not leave the city.
"You don't have to go out, and you don't need us to go out." Chen Jisheng muttered.
Now the defenders of the city head only have the back of the Jianzhou Jurchen Brigade in their field of vision, and the number of Xuzhou troops who have disembarked and landed is too small, whether they can withstand the strong Tartar troops who are several times their size, every Jinzhou defender is worried about this.
************
"Brothers, we have to stand on this shore, only if we stand, the brigade can go ashore, no matter how many Tartars come, we must resist!" Zhuang Liu shouted loudly.
The eight companies of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade were the first echelon of the landing, and when Zhuang Liu chose the company, he brought four fire gun companies and four spear companies.
After hearing his words, the generals and soldiers below suddenly agreed, and they could see that the Jianzhou Jurchen brigade was pressing towards this side, compared to the Zhao Jiajun with a dense formation, it seemed that the Jianzhou Jurchen was even more powerful.
The sergeant of the Zhao family who landed on his face was nervous, apprehensive, and more excited, our Zhao family army has never encountered an opponent, this Tartar is known as strong, who is stronger, and today we will see a real chapter.
Not only the company below is positive, but even the second regiment is Zhuang Liu himself is calm, but in addition to his excitement, he is also a little nervous, he has no doubts about the victory of the Zhao family's army, but only these eight companies landed in advance, in case there is any mistake, it will be a big loss.
Zhuang Liu glanced at the queue, there were backbones of the Xinglong Society in the spear company and the fire gun queue, which made him feel a little more confident, with these elites who were not afraid of life and death, no matter how strong the Tartars were, they were no opponents.
The big ships on the sea put down their sampans one after another, and the soldiers climbed down the rope nets, and then rowed the sampans to the shore of the tidal flats.
The strategy has already been formulated, then it must be resolutely implemented, Zhuang Liu's companies can establish a landing position is the best, if not, then the follow-up Zhao soldiers will break through the defense and attack hard.
The Jianzhou Jurchen battalions who rushed over also saw the scene on the sea, and orders were issued layer by layer, the speed of the advance of the soldiers and horses had accelerated, and the cavalry at the head began to run.
The gravel tidal flat is very troublesome for the cavalry, the sharp gravel hurts the horse's hooves greatly, a little careless, a horse will be scrapped, and the horseshoe is the same, but at this time no one can take care of the horses, the cavalry runs fast, and the enemy is only a few hundred people ashore when the other party is defeated, and then the follow-up brigade occupies the tidal flat, so that the other party has no way to land smoothly, there has been sent to catch the fleeing artillery, but also to set up the artillery, so that the other party can be completely blocked, and the fast horse to ask for help has set off, The strength of this sudden appearance of the enemy is too great, the appearance is too strange, there must be reinforcements, and at this moment, I am afraid that a certain Baylor will have to come with a soldier in person.
From trotting to jogging, from fast running to sprinting, the cavalry of the Jianzhou Jurchens is also the most elite part of the various departments, just facing the four landing squares, the cavalry has also been divided into several teams, the front is rammed away, the back is killed, wave after wave, until the enemy formation is completely crushed.
Four not too thick artillery pieces were pushed out, and the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry who rushed to the front had already seen this, but many people didn't think that this was artillery at all, they didn't have never seen it, but the artillery they saw was a thick and bulky creation, and some people thought that this was a firearm, but they had already had experience in fighting with the Ming army so many times, and the things that came out of such firearms were at most scary and choking, and there would be no damage at all.
The Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry even saw the fire gun in front, when the Jurchen cavalry saw the firearms of the Zhao family, many people showed a smile on their faces, they had experienced firearms, and they began to put them indiscriminately from a long distance, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, but they couldn't hurt anyone at all, and they rushed to the front, and these Ming soldiers with firearms would flee, and they would also scatter their companions behind them.
Even if you are concentrated by such a firearm, as long as you are not hit by the front within more than ten steps, you are just thrown on your face by a handful of sand, and it hurts the most.
Everyone has quickened their speed, faster and faster, and rushed to the front, that is, everything is fine, seeing so many ships is terrifying, in fact, it is to send everyone a future to the door.
In the roar of the cavalry's galloping hooves, the three-pounder cannon and the two-pounder run did not even attract people's attention, as if the four flying cannonballs would not have any effect on the cavalry charge, but only mosquitoes flying in.
The cannonball hit the queue, and one of the cannonballs missed, extremely coincidentally, and it can even be said that it fell miraculously in the gap between the cavalry and the cavalry, and the startled Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry didn't have time to relax, the cannonball just bounced up, and directly cut off a few horse legs, only to see that the mount was short, and the horse didn't even have time to neigh, and was rolled up by inertia, and the cavalry on the horse couldn't get out, so it rolled into a pulp.
