Chapter 295: The Battle of Lushun (2)
At this moment, Wu Jinzhong had no time to gather his scattered subordinates, and he did not dare to raise his own flag to gather the chaotic soldiers, for fear of becoming a live target for the Ming artillery.
Although the accuracy of the artillery in this era was not high, but it could not stand much, just listening to the sound, Wu Jinzhong judged that there were no less than 200 artillery pieces of the Jingbei Army, and under such dense firepower, he did not think that he could escape.
"Kill! The third town is for Ben to attack! ”
Li Rui ordered excitedly. After hearing the order, the sailors on the troop transport ship of the Jingbei Army Naval Division bravely propped up their bamboo poles and rowed their oars, and the flat-bottomed sand boats quickly rushed towards the two islands.
The Qing army was already in chaos, and Wu Jinzhong, the main general who could not find himself, suddenly collapsed when facing the swarming Jingbei Army land division, some knelt down directly and begged for mercy, some turned their heads and abandoned the camp, and retreated to the ferry behind the island, of course, there were also stubborn resistance to ignite the remaining small cannons on the fort.
Li Rui led his warriors to land on the beach, one by one holding long knives, naked, and rushed to the Qing army on the island.
On the sea, the ships of the Jingbei Army, whether sea ships or civilian ships, fired artillery to cover the landing of the third town.
However, due to the mud around the tidal flats where they landed, and the condescending ditches and wooden walls of the Qing army, the three Mandarin Duck soldiers of the third town, who were the first to land, still lost more than 30 people under the artillery fire and arrows of the Qing army.
"The musketeers of the army shoot Lao Tzu, and then send a signal to the sailors to attack the Tartar fortification."
Li Rui waved his knife and punched wildly, and did not forget to order Sun Zhijie to follow closely beside him.
Without Li Rui's message, the smoke emitted from the Qing army's artillery fort became the best target for Shuishi Town.
"Inform the warships of the front team, face the Tartar fort, and shoot at Lao Tzu!"
Su Guodong has been in the army for 20 years, and he has never fought such a rich battle in his life, and hundreds of artillery pieces are covered by fire at the same time.
"Bang!"
A loud bang came, and the gunpowder near the only few remaining artillery forts of the Qing army was hit by the artillery of the Jingbei army, and a wall about three zhang long was suddenly blown down, and the remaining artillery pieces were also pushed by the violent air waves, and the stubborn Qing soldiers were shocked by the explosion and their mouths, eyes, and noses were full of blood, and they couldn't survive.
"Ah......h
The remnants of the Qing army were frightened by the tragic situation of their comrades, and one by one let out screams of terror.
"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed, and those who stand with a knife will be killed!"
Take advantage of your illness to kill you.
The officers and men of Jingbei who rushed to the bottom of the walled wall took the opportunity of the Qing army's artillery fortress being blown up and broke into the Qing army's camp from the wooden wall destroyed by the artillery in one fell swoop.
Li Rui, who attacked the Qing army camp, took the lead in cutting off the general banner left by Wu Jinzhong in the camp, and ordered people to raise the banner of the Jingbei Army, and the outer defense line of Lushun was broken by the Jingbei Army.
The dense artillery sound on the two islands clearly told the puppet Qing Lushun general Yierden, the Qing army's water camp Dutong Duobi, as well as Quanjie and Xu Erxian and other Han army flag generals, Lushun was attacked by the Ming army.
"Quickly send a message to the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to go to the Golden Mountain and Mucheng to set up defenses, and the Manchurian soldiers will defend Lushun from the Ming Dynasty, in case the Ming thieves bypass our defense line from Shuangdao and directly attack Lushun City, and then send a message to Shengjing, Xiao Li Thief will attack Lushun with his back against the alliance, and whether our army will defend or retreat still needs to be decided by the emperor."
At this moment, Ilden is not only full of resentment towards Li Xingzhi, but also full of resentment towards Huang Taiji. Okay, you take Shanhaiguan, and I take Nandu? What is said to be the boundary between Huaishui and Sanguan? What about paying tribute every year, and being a minister every year?
This fool is not so foolish, just with Lushun, more than 1,000 Manchurian soldiers and less than 3,000 sailors and horses, can they beat the Shandong army with 50,000 troops?
As for the sound of artillery coming from the Shuangdao side, Yierden could judge that there were at least twenty Hongyi cannons of the Ming thief, and the rest of the general cannons needless to say, and the defenders of the Shuangdao were only five hundred, and the Ming thief did not necessarily use all the firepower, so it was impossible for Lushun's defensive force to be the opponent of Xiao Li Thief.
"Wow!"
"Slaves waiting for orders!"
To be a traitor is to have the consciousness of being a traitor, Xu Erxian and Quan Jie were carried into the Han army flag, and they are still qualified to call themselves slaves.
"What you said is Ilden, let's ask Sheng Jing for help as soon as possible, but there are only 3,000 sailors in this general, and you have to guard the Golden Mountain and the tiger's tail, you must draw some troops and horses to suppress the formation!"
Duobi is the capital of the Red Banner, although Yierden is Jialazhangjing, and his official position is higher than Duobi, but he is a person with a blue flag, so Duobi naturally has no need to bow down and be small in front of Yierden.
Besides, Duobi's father Wu Erji is the first Niu Lu Zhangjing of the second leader of the Red Flag, Chongzhen entered the customs for the first time in the second year of the Eastern Empire, the governor of Zuo, the general of Pingliao Zhao Shujiao was shot with an arrow in Zunhua, and now Wu Naiji is the solid mountain of the Red Flag, the right-hand man of Prince Li Daishan, who dares to underestimate himself.
"Uh...... What should I do if the thief hits Lushun directly from the two islands? ”
Yilden was choked, he was already not confident in holding Lushun, and he was fighting the idea of hiding on the mainland and retreating calmly, and now Duobi asked himself to withdraw his troops and horses to assist in defense, and he gathered a total of four Niu Lu, where to divide the troops.
"We banner people, all of us can bend bows and shoot arrows, if you launch the Eight Banners to defend the city, it will be over."
Duobi obviously saw Ilden's intention to protect himself, and bit this Ilden tightly.
"Alas...... That's what you said, the Manchurian soldiers who were supposed to take out the two Niu Lu and you. Please also be sure to hold out until the imperial reinforcements arrive. ”
Ilden was not afraid of Duobi, but afraid of Nongwuerji behind him, so he had to grit his teeth and agree to Duobi's request.
"Report, Shuangdao guard general Wu Jinzhong urgently reported, Xiao Li thief sailors gathered, its sailors have hundreds of warships, all of them are huge sea ships, their height is several zhang, each ship has dozens of guns, the rest of the warships can not be counted, the sea surface of Shuangdao is almost covered by its sails, the old iron mountain has been lost, and please Zhang Jing and Dutong quickly send reinforcements to guard the Golden Mountain and the tiger's tail, otherwise Lushun can not be defended."
At the same time that Duobi, Yierden, Quan Jie, Xu Erxian and others were discussing the defense of Lushun, the news of the loss of the two islands had already spread to Lushun City.
"Ah......h
When Yierden, Duobi and the others heard this, their faces were as pale as earth, and they were not shocked that Shuangdao was broken by the Jingbei Army in less than an hour, but they were shocked by the number of Ming naval divisions.
"The matter is urgent, and I also ask Lord Zhang Jing to quickly transfer troops, and the general will go to the Golden Mountain to preside over the defense."
In addition to being shocked, Duobi still did not forget his duty and did not plan to flee without a fight.
There are only some small cannons and hundreds of defenders on Shuangdao, but the Golden Mountain is very dangerous, if there are Manchurian soldiers to help, Duobi believes that with the defense line arranged by Quanjie and Xu Erxian, it can still hold out for a few days, at least the messenger who can hold out until the messenger can spread the news of the Ming army's entry into Shengjing.
