"Fire!"

Artillery roared.

This time it was not the cannon sound of the Ming warship, but the cannon sound of the head of the city of Arthur.

The small boat transporting troops of the Ming army quickly approached the coast, and when the artillerymen at the head of the city saw it, they immediately climbed out of the bunker, skillfully loaded gunpowder, and lit the fire rope.

The gunners trained by the Ming army and the artillery purchased by the Ming army began to bombard the ships where the Ming army landed.

They were all the most elite artillerymen, and the first shell hit a small boat of the Ming army, on which the Ming soldiers killed seven or eight people on the spot, and the others were also seriously injured and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Seeing this, the other Ming troops consciously accelerated the frequency of paddling in order to land as soon as possible.

Zheng Sen gritted his teeth when he saw it, and ordered the bombardment again.

This time, the Ming artillery knew that the defenders at the head of the city had withdrawn, and began to carefully proofread, although it was still impossible to ensure the hit, but it still had a huge deterrent effect, which could suppress the artillery at the head of the city to the greatest extent and buy time for the landing soldiers.

The troop carrier braved the fire of the Jianyu artillery and kept charging for a moment, but fortunately, the Jianyu artillery was not without a miss, although the ship was constantly shot and capsized, but the casualties were still within a controllable range.

After a short time, a troop carrier finally docked, and the Ming soldiers jumped off the boat and began to rush. At the same time, two people were left behind, driving the boat back, ready to transport troops again.

"The brute is coming!" The captives shouted.

The Han military banner, which was hiding behind the bunker, began to counterattack.

The captives were indeed brave, and they leaped out from behind their cover, drew their bows, and shot away, regardless of their own safety.

Some Han soldiers lit the fire rope and pointed their guns at the Ming army.

The sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air began to sound, constantly falling on the side of the Ming army, followed by the sound of fire, and lead bullets flew.

About half of the Ming army hurriedly took off the wooden shield on their backs and blocked them in front of them.

The wooden planks are made of thick planks and are inlaid with a thin layer of iron, which can effectively block the attacks of arrows and firebolts, although it affects the speed of the charge somewhat.

At the same time, the other half of the Ming army hid behind their teammates, raised their flintlock pistols, and fired at the captives in front.

Bang bang bang......

A fierce exchange of fire began between the two sides.

The lead bullets flew straight back and forth, and the arrows attacked in a parabolic trajectory, not giving in to each other.

The Ming army was wearing chain mail, and its defensive power was a grade higher than that of the captive soldiers, and with the addition of red tasseled helmets and neck guards, it can be said that there were almost no weaknesses except for the face.

The Wyvern Army has been trained to use the wooden escape, and is even more proficient in flintlock pistols, far surpassing the captives in long-range attacks. At this time, the advantages of the flintlock pistol also showed.

Although the number of Ming troops was still small, the frequency of shooting far exceeded that of the captives, and there was a faint feeling of pressing the captives.

However, the captives continued to attack with a mortal heart, and the casualties of the Ming army were not small.

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, saw the weakness of the Ming army, flattened the bow and arrow, and shot out.

Sou......

The sharp arrow galloped through the ankle of a Ming soldier, knocking him to the ground, exposing the Ming soldier behind him, and being shot by the captives with bows and arrows.

Seeing the effect, more than a dozen captives with excellent archery skills began to follow suit, causing a lot of casualties to the Ming army.

The Ming army was not stupid, and immediately half-squatted down, and the cat advanced with his waist down, although the speed of the charge was slowed down again, but the casualties were effectively reduced.

The small boats of the Ming army on the sea kept going back and forth, and the artillery at the head of the city continued to roar, but fortunately, there were few artillery, and the casualties caused were limited, and in less than a stick of incense, more than 300 Ming troops had landed.

The numerical superiority was immediately apparent, and under the dense attack of bows and arrows and muskets, the captives on the beach were almost completely annihilated.

It's just that the military law is strict, and no one dares to turn around and escape. The military order they received was to defend to the death, so they could only defend until there was not a single soldier left.

"Kill!"

The Ming army launched a final charge, and a general banner rushed forward, cutting down a captive who was about to counterattack to the ground with a single sword.

The Ming army behind him also rushed quickly, killing the last dozen or so captives.

From then on, the Ming army cleared the beachhead and began to rush to the city wall.

There are not many soldiers on the city wall, and in the face of hundreds of Ming troops, they are powerless to resist at all, and when the follow-up Ming army transports the siege ladder, under the suppression of grenades, the captives almost watched the Ming army climb to the top of the city.

On the north side of Lushun City, Gan Duhai saw the Ming army ascending the city, and he felt some remorse in his heart, and said hatefully: "We should not have retreated if we knew that the Ming army had ascended the city with a siege ladder." ”

"Master, the Ming army is cunning, they saw that we withdrew, so they attacked the city like this. If we hold on, the ship's artillery will surely collapse the walls! Meng Qiaofang said.

When Ganduhai heard this, the guilt in his heart lightened slightly.

Seeing that the Ming army was fully armored and aggressive, the soldiers were already a little nervous.

However, after a while, the Ming army opened the city gate, and more Ming troops rushed into the city, and the captives were sweating nervously.

Although they are fierce, they are about to be wiped out, and no one can face them calmly.

"Qing warriors, step up the deployment of fortifications, even if we are completely annihilated, we must kill ten times our Ming army." Meng Qiaofang shouted.

Gan Duhai also shouted: "The reinforcements from Jinzhou will arrive soon, as long as we can hold out for an hour, the Ming army will definitely be defeated." Even if we are killed, the Ming army will not have time to set up defenses, and the Jinzhou soldiers will definitely avenge us! ”

Such a slogan of treating death as if it were home forcibly boosted the morale of Jianyu a little.

But as time went by, the Ming army continued to land, and no less than 3,000 Ming troops poured into the city of Lushun.

When the captives saw this, they immediately panicked.

Rumble!

Before the Ming army entering the city could attack, the Golden Mountain Fort in the west of the city roared.

A huge lead bullet landed in a clearing on the north side of Arthur City, smashing a large crater in the ground.

Although there were no casualties, the shock to Jianyu was enormous.

This time, even Meng Qiaofang was panicked.

He had been so busy setting up the fortifications that he had forgotten the fort of the Golden Mountain, and when he saw the figure on the hill, he knew that the battle had been defeated.

Rumble!

Another shell flew and landed not far from the Jianyu position, and it was obvious that the Ming army on the top of the Golden Mountain was calibrating the artillery.

Everyone knew that sooner or later artillery would fall on their heads.

"Withdraw!"

In the Jianyu formation, Gan Duhai, who had been fighting the main battle, roared.

When the captives received the military order, they turned around and ran away with their master.

At this moment, the instinct to survive suppresses everything, and who wants to die if you can live!

Moreover, they all have an excuse to flee in their hearts, the Ming army is dozens of times larger than themselves, and they have artillery support, and they will definitely die if they defend it.

However, once he escapes and joins up with the Jinzhou soldiers, he may be able to take advantage of the unstable heel of the Ming army to kill the horse gun and recapture Lushun!

I have the great mission of fighting back, how can I die here in vain.

Seeing the captives fleeing, the Ming army on the top of the mountain no longer opened fire, and the Ming army in the city did not pursue, but began to search the houses in the city, looking for hidden enemies and surviving supplies, and at the same time collecting the Han people in the city.

Ganduhai only took 400 soldiers out of the city, and fled for less than an hour, finding that the Ming army did not pursue, and a hanging heart was finally put down.

But he didn't dare to stop, and he was still running wildly.

Da Da Da ......

"Master, there is the sound of horses' hooves!" Meng Qiaofang shouted,

"Haha, reinforcements from Golden State have arrived." Ganduhai ecstasy.

"No, the sound of horses' hooves is coming from the direction of Arthur City behind you!"

Chongzhen's arms are bright
