Li Xingzhi did not give the defenders of Arthur much time to prepare, and after capturing Shuangdao, he categorically issued a military order to continue the attack on Port Arthur.

Su Guodong commanded the sailors to divide into two routes, one was the main general Su Guanhai, the deputy general of the sailor town, to carry twenty fortune boats to feint against the tiger's tail, and he personally led the remaining fifty warships to the Golden Mountain.

The sailor division is divided into two routes, and the land division is naturally divided into two routes.

In order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, seize the commanding heights of Port Arthur, the Golden Mountain.

Li Xingzhi invested Zhang Wu's fifth town and Daniel Zhang's new fifth town at one time on the Golden Mountain, while Li Rui's third town attacked Tiger Tail with the division.

Shuangdao is only more than 30 miles away from Port Arthur, and it was just after noon when the naval division of the Jingbei Army arrived at the periphery of Lushun.

It has to be said that the Qing army's reaction was very fast, and after the cannon fire on the two islands, the Qing army stationed at Golden Mountain and Tiger Tail immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

"Fire, fire!"

After seeing that the naval division of the Jingbei Army entered the range of the Hongyi cannon, the deputy general of the Han Army's Zhenghongqi, who was guarding the Golden Mountain, gave the order to attack on the spot.

"Bang, bang, bang......!"

The eight Hongyi cannons deployed at the foot of the Golden Mountain were the first to fire, and one after another iron bullets weighing several pounds roared across the sky and smashed into the fleet of the Jingbei Army's naval divisions in a row.

Because it was the first round of shooting, and the accuracy of the artillery in this era was poor, although the momentum of the Hongyi cannon was not small, the cannon did not hit the Jingbei Army Naval Division that was slowly approaching the Golden Mountain, but smashed into the vast sea, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky.

"Reload the potions, adjust the muzzle, and hit Ben hard."

Seeing that the artillery did not hit the target, the military order to attack was reissued, and the Zhenghongqi Han Army under Kong Youde's command had been practicing firearms tactics in Dengzhou for a long time, and the operation of the Hongyi cannon was naturally handy.

After the order was given, the soldiers skillfully began to clean the chambers and reload the ammunition, and the gunners readjusted the gun positions according to the distance of the previous round of fire.

"Raise the flag, let the ships arrive at the Golden Mountain, and at the same time attack the artillery positions of the Tartars, and cover the landing of our land division."

Su Guodong naturally will not be beaten passively, the fifty sea ships in his hand have prepared a full hundred Hongyi cannons, as well as more than a thousand thousand-pound general cannons and Franc machines.

If he couldn't suppress the firepower of the Qing army, wouldn't he, the general of the water division, have to wipe his own neck.

"Bang, bang, bang......!"

After receiving the order, the sailor gunner on the ship waved down the torches in his hands heavily, and the fuses were ignited instantly, and more than 100 Hongyi cannons spewed out the flames of revenge in turn.

After a thunderous roar, countless cannons rained down on the Qing army's defensive position on the Golden Mountain.

Although the artillery of the Jingbei Army's naval division is also not very accurate, the numerical advantage can completely crush the defenders of the Golden Mountain, who only have eight Hongyi cannons.

Although more than half of the artillery did not reach the Qing army's defensive line, more than 20 artillery pieces still bombarded the Qing army's position.

"Click, click, click......!"

The sound of wood shattering kept ringing, and sections of wooden walls were torn apart under the fire of Hongyi's cannons, and broken wood was splattered everywhere.

Several Han soldiers who couldn't dodge were directly penetrated by the broken wood through the cotton armor on their bodies, and one Qing army was even taken away by the cannon of the Hongyi cannon, and the headless corpse even took a step forward before falling to the ground.

In the sound of artillery, the fleet of the Jingbei Army changed formation again, and countless sand boats transporting troops, relying on the cover of artillery fire, pressed towards the defense line of the Qing army in the Golden Mountain like arrows off the string.

The cannon rumbled, the flag was waved, and Zhang Wu, the general of the fifth town, was also shirtless, holding a sharp blade, just like the scene when his brother Zhang Pan raided Lushun with five hundred warriors.

"Row quickly, for the sake of the late Marshal Mao, for the sake of the late General Zhang, today my Jingbei Army has advanced and not retreated!"

Zhang Wu's personal commander He Wu raised his sword and roared, he was also a veteran of Dongjiang Town, when they broke nearly a thousand Tartars with hundreds of soldiers in Lushun, and then broke the Qing army reinforcements in the Lushun defensive battle, beheaded more than 1,000 levels, and achieved the famous Lushun victory.

Today, they also want to inherit the legacy of General Zhang Pan and fight to the death with the East Captives to commemorate the late General Zhang who lived and died with Lushun.

"Fire, fire!"

Quan Jie's face turned pale, although he knew that the Ming army had a lot of artillery, but he didn't expect that there were so many Hongyi cannons on this naval warship, and the number of this artillery could be heard from the sound of the cannons alone, but Quan Jie was still insisting, he still had the Golden Mountain natural danger, and there were Manchurian soldiers who could be relied on.

Most of the gunners of the Qing army were veterans of the Dongjiang Army, and it can be said that they were all elite soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles, and in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Jingbei Army, although they were afraid, they still lit the fire rope on the barrel.

This time, not only did the Qing defenders' Hongyi cannons all fire, but dozens of general cannons and 800-jin and 600-jin small cannons also fired almost at the same time.

The target of the Hongyi artillery was the naval warships of the Jingbei Army, and the target of the rest of the artillery was the landing fleet of the Ming army, which was swarming.

The artillery of the Ming army fell on the Golden Mountain, and the shells of the Qing army sprayed columns of water on the sea. Zhang Wuli was not afraid on the sand boat, and kept shouting and commanding the boats to move forward bravely.

Suddenly, not far from the right side of the sand boat, Zhang Wu was hit by a sand boat, and wood chips flew one after another, and more than ten Jingbei sergeants fell into the water.

The soldiers are in danger, how can they not die in a battle, Zhang Wu didn't care about the soldiers who fell into the water, he held it up and silently estimated the distance of the ship from the land, and the right hand holding the knife was already trembling slightly because of excitement.

"Open the artillery, open the cannon, let the brothers shoot all the artillery, Lao Tzu will see how long the Tartars can hold out."

There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, Su Guodong is proficient in water warfare, and Li Xingzhi naturally handed over the command of Shuishi Town to Su Guodong completely.

At this time, Shuishi Town was already less than two miles away from Golden Mountain, and the Qing army's defense line and artillery forts were completely exposed to the range of Jingbei Army's artillery.

More than 1,000 large and small cannons shot into the Qing army's defense line like hail.

Under the rounds of attack, the wooden arrow towers were torn apart under the repeated attacks of the cannons; The mud walls, fixed with wooden fences, also flew in unison under heavy artillery fire.

Of course, the Qing artillery forts, which posed the greatest threat to the landing fleet, were given the focus of the Hongyi artillery, and as the distance advanced, the power of the Hongyi artillery was fully revealed.

Several cannons smashed into a fort in no particular order, and the mud wall used for defense collapsed first, and the cannons that broke through the mud wall were castrated unabated, and directly bombarded the artillery of the Qing army.

"Bang!"

After a deafening sound, a corner of the stone base under the Qing artillery fortress was blown down, and the barrel immediately became unstable, tumbling down from the fort, and the two frightened Qing gunners were directly crushed by the thousands of pounds of barrels.
