Chapter 299: The Battle of Lushun (6)

Xu Erxian, the deputy general of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, who commanded the naval battle, fell into despair, and he was also in trouble in the whole section of the Golden Mountain.

Although he dug trenches and arranged sharp piles on the Golden Mountain, although he still had dozens of artillery pieces, his forces were too small to even maintain the entire defensive line.

Zhang Wu, the general of the fifth town, relied on the strong firepower of the naval division to cover and successfully attacked the tidal flat at the foot of the Golden Mountain, and immediately launched an offensive against the Golden Mountain.

The Golden Mountain is not high, only about 40 zhang, but the terrain is extremely dangerous, and there are only two mountain roads about ten meters wide that can be attacked from the beach, and the rest are steep cliffs.

Zhang Wujiu was in Lushun and knew the terrain of the Golden Mountain well, so he strictly ordered all units to take advantage of the firepower of the Qing army to suppress the gap of the Qing army's artillery and immediately attack the mountain.

Of course, Zhang Wu did not blindly attack, but adopted his brother Zhang Pan's old technique of breaking through Lushun, and used the fifth town deputy generals Jin Yong and Yang Zhen to unify the long-range soldiers of the infantry team, the mandarin duck soldiers of the infantry team and the white pole soldiers of the infantry team to feint from the two directions of Dianyanling and Baiyuta respectively, and the artillery team of the accompanying army was divided into two divisions to sweep the formation at the foot of the mountain.

He personally led the remaining military horses up the hill in the direction of the steep Honglu Well.

As for Daniel Zhang's troops in the new five towns that landed later, Li Xingzhi asked them to follow the foot of the mountain and attack Lushun City behind the mountain.

Quan Jie and Duobi watched as the New Five Towns moved towards Lushun, but they could do nothing, because a large number of Ming troops had already launched an offensive along the mountain road towards Golden Mountain.

At this time, in addition to begging God to protect him to defend the Golden Mountain, Duobi also hoped that Ilden could defend Arthur City.

Because if Arthur City is lost, the Golden Mountain defended by itself and the tiger tail on the flank will be under the attack of the Ming army on both sides, and the only thing waiting for him is defeat.

"Woo, woo, woo......!"

The desolate horn trumpets continued to cry sadly, and the war drums of the Jingbei Army shook the heavens and the earth, and with Zhang Wu's order, the two people and horses who feinted to attack rushed towards the Golden Mountain like a tide.

On the sea, fifty warships lined up in two straight columns, slowly approaching in the direction of the Golden Mountain, and at the same time pouring cannons at the position of the Qing army in the Golden Mountain.

The firepower is suppressed, the infantry is attacking the mountain, Su Guodong doesn't want to be compared to his nephew, if Tiger Tail is the first to be broken by the third town, then where will his old face go.

The dense firepower made the gunners of the Qing army dare not poke their heads out to shoot at the Jingbei army attacking the mountain, they can only bow their waists and blindly ignite the fire fold in their hands on the lead on the barrel.

Quan Jie obviously expected that the Jingbei Army would adopt such an attack, so the artillery of the Qing army was all loaded with gunpowder this time.

Countless cannons the size of copper coins formed a barrage of death one after another in the direction of the Jingbei Army's assault like a storm.

Rao is Jingbei Army was all dressed in sturdy cuirass, covered with heavy cotton armor, and nearly 100 people were also damaged under the intensive firepower, of course, most of them were only pierced by scattered bullets in their arms and thighs, and they lay on the ground in pain and let out a painful wail.

"Save the wounded soldiers, send a signal to the sailors, let them concentrate their fire on the artillery of the Qing army, set up our artillery too, and beat Lao Tzu hard!"

Jin Yong frowned and looked at the fallen soldiers at the foot of the mountain, he didn't expect that the Qing army would be able to fight back under such a heavy shelling.

"Quickly transfer the artillery position, brothers give the general rolling logs and stones, and don't give the Ming army attacking the mountain a chance to breathe."

The whole section is also an old man, and the gap between the firepower of the side and the Jingbei Army and the naval division is too big, so he can only change the position with one shot, otherwise, those damn Ming army naval divisions will definitely cover their artillery positions again.

Sure enough, after the artillery roar of the Golden Mountain, the artillery of the Jingbei Army's naval division also fired at the same time.

Countless cannons were once again poured on the artillery positions of the Qing army.

As the fleet arrived, the power of the artillery became more powerful and accurate, and a still future and transferred artillery was overturned by the shells.

Barrels of guns were constantly tumbling down from the forts and slamming heavily on the trenches under the mud walls, kicking up patches of dust, and patches of stakes were crushed by the tumbling barrels.

These cannon barrels and the rolling wooden stones just thrown by the Qing army rolled faster and faster along the mountain road, and dozens of wounded soldiers of the Jingbei Army who did not come and were rescued suddenly lost their breath under the impact of the stones and cannon barrels, and some were even crushed into bloody flesh and blood pies by the heavy barrels.

These barrels continued to tumble down the hill, and by inertia, they rolled faster and faster.

"Disperse, disperse, and hide in the woods on both sides!"

Looking at the smoke and dust brought up by the rolling wood and stones and the cannon barrel, Jin Yong was shocked, he was originally a hundred household officials under Zuo Liangyu, and he was also a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, knowing that retreating at this time was tantamount to looking for death, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers under his command to flash to the woods on both sides.

After dodging a period of rolling wood and stones, Jin Yong did not dare to attack, it was obviously not a wise move to use the rolling wood and stones of flesh and blood and Tartar to fight to the death, and immediately ordered all the troops to move up the mountain in the woods, and left and right themselves just to feint, as long as they continued to move forward, they could attract the attention of the Qing army.

Like Jin Yong, the Jingbei Army attacking the direction of Baiyu Pagoda was also hit by the Qing army's artillery and rolling wood and stones, and Yang Zhen, who was helpless, could only order all units to rely on the cover of trees and rocks to attack the Qing army Dazhai in Golden Mountain.

"Stop the attack, stop the attack, send the order down and let the brothers bow and string, put on the medicine, and prepare to attack the thieves who go up the mountain, we still have a trench and a wall, there is no need to be afraid of them."

The Ming army did not retreat, but went into the woods to continue to advance, which made the whole section a little headache, if the Ming army went up the mountain, and then borrowed the cover of artillery fire, their own soldiers and horses are so few, can they stop the Ming army with many people and strong firepower?

On the Honglujing side, although Zhang Wu led three infantry teams, but the mountain was too steep, he had to order the long-range soldiers and white pole soldiers to hide under the mountain, and he himself led a group of mandarin duck soldiers along the rugged sheep intestine path to the mountain lurking.

Although the Qing Shui Division was not good at water warfare, he was a good hand in land warfare, and when deploying the Golden Mountain defense line, he also deeply investigated the terrain and knew that the area around Honglujing could march up the mountain.

Therefore, after the Jingbei Army landed, it took a Manchurian soldier with a blue flag drawn from Yierden to deploy defenses in the area of Honglujing.

The mountains around Honglujing are steep, although it is difficult to march, but also can not deploy ambushes, originally the Ming army took the rugged mountain road up the mountain, Duobi can take advantage of the condescending advantage to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.

But at this time, the Ming army was advancing too fast, and the water battle on the Tiger Tail side was unfavorable, and three of the wooden cities had been uprooted by the Ming Water Division, and even a Ming army had landed in Tiger Tail.

Golden Mountain was also besieged by the Ming army on several sides, and there was a Ming army brigade that was rushing straight to Lushun City, at this time it was obviously meaningless to repel the Ming army, in Duobi's view, only to eat a Ming army, in order to boost the morale of the party.
