Chapter 11 Burning and Bombardment


readxThe northeast of Lushun South City is surrounded by a hill several hundred meters high.

Between the mountain and the city is a narrow path that can only accommodate an oxcart.

The path winds to the southeast of the city.

There are dense trees and grass on both sides of the road.

Niulu Zhangjing Kutu and Fuha led nearly 400 people from Niulu to ride two horses side by side and move forward quickly.

As Kutu smelled a slightly pungent smell, he looked at the dense pine forest during the journey.

Maybe it was from the pine forest.

The smell was a bit weird, but Kutu didn't take it seriously and urged the team to move on.

The successive victories against Nikan made these two Niulu become careless.

At the end of the southern foot of the trail, Yu Dabao, Huang Han, and Li Hu surrounded Zhao Lie.

Several of them were dressed in Wenshan armor and lined up with firearms and armor in front of them.

At this time, many of the armored firearms soldiers of the Fuhai, who had hardly ever fought ashore, were looking nervously into the distance.

Even if their sight was blocked by trees, didn't they still have ears?

Zhao Lie was also listening carefully to the Jiannu Brigade galloping south.

The sound of horse hooves came intensively and rapidly from the south, and Zhao Lie felt his heart beat faster.

His breathing began to quicken.

Zhao Lie took a few deep breaths to control his mind.

Even though he was a rookie and had never experienced a bloody battle, the current situation did not allow him to retreat.

Once defeated, the family's strength would be lost.

In this In troubled times, it means giving up your destiny to others.

The sound of hoofbeats was heard in the distance, dust flew up, and the Jiannu cavalry came into view trotting along the narrow path.

Zhao Lie, Li Hu and other Ming army officers looked nervously into the distance.

After all, this was the first battle with Jiannu.

The leader, Bashiku, looked at the small phalanx of dozens of people, but did not turn around to ask Niu Lu for instructions.

With just a few steps, he charged to disrupt the enemy, and then chopped melons and vegetables.

He shouted, speeding up his horse in order to rush into the formation.

"Leave the gun flat."

Li Shan gave the order, and the six men in the front row of the musketry team held Lu Mitong flat.

The soldiers fought against Jian Nu for the first time.

Their whole bodies were shaking slightly with nervousness and excitement, and their breathing became thicker.

Huang Han, Yu Dabao and other Chu brothers were all red in the face.

Only Li Hu remained calm.

Zhao Lie tried hard to keep his breathing steady, leveled the two-stone bow, his eyes were level with the arrows, and held the bow string with his right hand with a fine iron finger.

"Let go."

Li Shan shouted when Jiannu was more than a hundred steps away.

Within a few seconds, three firecrackers were fired.

With the sound of gunshots, large and small jars suddenly flew out from the thick grass on the east side of the trail and crashed into the Jiannu cavalry.

The horsemen who were marching were in a hurry.

Some resisted with swords and guns, and some reined in their horses.

People call horses Hiss, but there was a crackling sound, the jar smashed against the swords and guns, or hit the men and horses.

The gray-black liquid splashed everywhere, and then a large number of rockets were launched three times in succession, and the men and horses instantly burned into pieces. torch.

Very few survived.

The incident happened in a hurry, and there were thick trees on the roadside, making it difficult to see the enemy's position.

The Jiannu soldiers only fired sporadic bows and arrows before being engulfed in flames.

Some of the Jin soldiers put out the fire with their hands, and even their hands burned.

Some began to remove their armor, hoping to take off the burning outer armor, but it was difficult to escape even if their hands were stuck.

Some jumped off their horses and rolled on the ground in hope.

It was able to extinguish the flames on the body, and for a while there were pitiful howls and the screams of horses.

The entire first half of the march was in chaos.

Many war horses and flags were wandering around.

Even the strict military discipline was ignored. any effect.

Niulu Zhangjing Fuha, who was in the middle of the queue, was also one of them.

The fire on his body made Niulu Zhangjing jump around in pain.

He completely lost the bearing of a master and looked more like a wizard who was a master of dancing.

Niulu Zhangjing Kutu in front was the lucky one, not a single spark stuck to his body.

Kutu, who had experienced many battles, understood that it was impossible to stop and retreat.

The only way to survive was to rush out of the fire.

Bashiku, who was at the front of the team, did not have this worry.

The twenty or so riders in front listened to his orders and rushed into the formation faster, and got out of the ambush circle.

Although they heard the chaos behind them, they rushed forward regardless.

When he reached sixty steps, Li Shan gave an order: "put."

The first row of gunners fired, and there was a burst of explosion, white smoke rose, and the deformed lead bullets made their own strange sounds and hit the golden soldiers.

Bashiku, who was leading the way, was the first to fly up.

He only felt a few sharp pains in his upper body.

Then his body flew into the air and was knocked away by several horses behind him, and he lost consciousness instantly.

The gunners in the first row put down their empty guns, received the empty guns from the second row, and fired another salvo.

Four rows of shots were fired in succession.

There was already a cloud of smoke all around.

The gunners retreated, and the gunners in two rows were fully armored and armed.

Arranged at the front, I could only vaguely observe things.

Fortunately, a gust of wind blows, and most of the smoke disperses.

Only four or five cavalry slave soldiers are seen twenty steps away, roaring towards them.

Zhao Lie lets go of the bow string, and the step bow returns to its original shape.

With the instantaneous explosive power, the heavy arrow flies at high speed.

Pop out and take one of the slaves in the first row off the horse, and another in the first row The slave soldier was hit by two arrows and fell down.

The remaining three slave soldiers arrived in front of the formation in an instant.

However, they did not dare to move forward when they saw the spear formation.

They ran away to both sides.

There were woods on both sides.

The branches swept the slave soldiers off their horses.

The soldiers were in a state of disarray.

More than ten people from the armored group stepped forward and fired randomly, killing three of them.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw two horses galloping towards them.

One of them had a fire on his back, the other had a side arm on fire, and there were several small flames on the horse.

Kutu endured the pain in his left arm, which was left after hitting two firemen one after another to clear the way.

One of his escorts was with his companions on the other side.

Kutu saw the dead bodies of men and horses in front of him as well as the Ming army blocking the road. , knowing that there was no way out, he rushed towards the Ming army with dying fanaticism.

After killing several slave soldiers, the armored men ran to the roadside and into the forest.

Only the musketeers were left in front of the formation with empty guns.

The soldiers who had not passed the battle formation were momentarily stunned.

The two horses knocked away three or four people at a high speed.

Descending, Kutu raised his long-handled saber and was about to slash at an armored Ming army in front of him. , out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw an iron spearhead flying toward his chest, and he hurriedly blocked it with his saber.

With a bang, the spear was extremely powerful, and it just turned away slightly and still pierced Kutu's left chest.

He immediately lost all his strength, fell from his horse, and was stabbed to death by random shots.

The big gun was thrown by Zhao Lie as a flying gun.

Another guard was knocked away by Yu Dabao's iron rod.

Zhao Lie frowned, but he still hadn't gone through the battle formation.

He was the first brother, so the battle was extremely messy.

If it was a wild battle this time, he would definitely lose, and he would have to train immediately when he returned.

Some of the others were rescuing a few injured people, while others were stepping forward to cut off Jian Nu's head.

Zhao Lie was furious at all this fuss.

They were really a bunch of soldiers.

They seemed to have something to do, but in fact they responded inappropriately.

More than ten Jiannu cavalry rushed out one after another.

They were all looking very embarrassed with their bodies burning.

They all fell one after another in front of this small military formation.

Without cooperation, they could not rush through this military formation with just their bravery. , can only fail here.

At this time, the crossbowmen on the Fushan, Fuhai and other ships returned to the formation from the forest one after another.

Zhao Lie ordered to use rockets to ignite all the trees on both sides of the path.

Hundreds of rockets were seen flying into the forest.

After a while, the fire engulfed the entire forest, filled with smoke and the sound of crackling fire.

None of the people who were knocked away died, but two of them suffered fractures and were lifted up by the crowd and returned to the dock.

Niuluzhang Jinghai Lai led another group of cavalry to gallop along the official road between Baiyu Mountain and Nancheng in the west of the city.

This official road is the avenue connecting the dock and the north city.

It can accommodate two oxcarts side by side.

It is relatively spacious and can be clearly seen when galloping on the road.

The Ming army on the city pointed and pointed, and Hai Lai couldn't help but feel happy.

He knew that the uncles were trying to cut off your return, so what could you do if you were so shameless?

The avenue passes through the west of the city, and you can see the pier when you turn the southeast corner.

Nanguan Pier is better called Xinanguan Pier.

The pier is closer to the southwest of the city.

The leader led people through the southwest corner and entered the south of the city.

There were dense crowds in the distance.

The leader It felt like I was seeing a scene of bloodshed again, He couldn't help but speed up his horse.

Suddenly, he heard a continuous roaring sound.

He raised his eyes and saw a large plume of white smoke rising from more than ten large ships near the shore.

Then he felt severe pain in his body.

At the same time, he heard There was a popping sound, followed by severe pain all over the body, and I gradually lost consciousness.

Hai Lai had just reached the corner when he heard the continuous sound of artillery in front of him.

When he turned the corner, he saw the flag soldiers, including men and horses, falling into pieces.

No less than a hundred horsemen fell to the ground and struggled, their screams echoed by the screams of the horses.

Hai Lai hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped, only to see another person on the boat.

There was the sound of artillery, and then a large number of shotguns were scattered in front.

Hai Lai was extremely heartbroken.

They were all the flag men of the neighborhood.

This battle could not be fought.

Dozens of cannons were staring at this place.

On both sides of the road, there were steep mountains on one side and two mountains on the other.

The deep and wide moat would not be enough to fill, no matter how many people died.

Hai Lai immediately ordered him to return to the army.

It turned out that a few days ago, Zhao Lie went to the top of the city to see the topography of the two cities, and decided to use the narrow road and dense forest to burn on the east side, use the corner to be close to the sea on the west side, shield the slopes on both sides with trenches, and use naval guns on the narrower terrain in the middle.

Sniper plan.

I went back to discuss with my father.

After much persuasion, my father finally agreed to transfer the crossbowmen, firearmsmen, and armored personnel from the Fukuyama Fukai to be led by Zhao to stop the attack.

At the same time, he issued a reward of ten taels of silver per person as long as he went into battle to face the enemy. like Since the war did not give the family three hundred taels of pension money, there must be brave men under the heavy reward.

The generals and soldiers screamed in excitement with these money, and everyone worked bravely.

Just kidding, even if they die, the family's future life will be worry-free.

Worth it.

Zhao Lie collected all the kerosene and jars on several ships.

In this way, nearly 400 soldiers, led by Zhao Lie's remaining troops, were ambushed on one side of the road and set fire to it.

This time it was finally successful, but it could only be blocked for one day.

On this day, the fire passed through the forest, and everything was so hot that Jiannu could not even think of entering.

On the west side, more than 20 ships' guns were used to test the accuracy of the guns.

Four guns fired shotguns one after another to maintain the continuity of the bombardment and block the road.

The ambush on both sides of Lushun finally caused the Jiannu forward to suffer a big loss
