Chapter 441: Heavy Artillery Opens the Way


After Tuhai received the report, he hurriedly came down from the city and went to the bottom of the city to reorganize his troops.

At the same time, he sent someone to inform Mele'er Zhenhai Lai, who had led troops to attack the city, and asked him to lead his troops to withdraw from the city.

Earlier, they were facing the Han army and the blue-flag armored soldiers, totaling more than 5,000 people, who were ascending the city or waiting for the south city gate to open and enter.

They reorganized towards the sea and waited for the Ming army to land before the decisive battle.

At this time, the fleet under Zhao Lie had arrived only two miles away from Nancheng Pier and began to lower the sails and reduce the speed.

Zhao Lie had just used a telescope to observe the situation in the south city of Lushun.

He saw that Jiannu could only enter by climbing the city and not through the city gate.

He knew that Jiannu was breaking the city and the city was still resisting.

Otherwise, it would have been long ago.

The city gate is wide open.

He was relieved.

Since setting off from Shidao, he had not been idle for a moment.

Except for one day in Jeju where he was loading and unloading soldiers, he spent the rest of his time on the sea.

He finally caught up with a late meeting.

He calculated the strength of the troops at hand, and brought two military commanders from Jeju and two military commanders from Beihua to Lushun.

It was not that he didn't want to bring more troops, but the transportation capacity was really insufficient, so he had to transport them to Beihua.

The main force of the refugee merchant ships has not yet returned.

In Jeju, Zhao Lie converted ten Song-class warships into merchant ships for transporting soldiers.

This was enough transportation capacity.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to transport the 4,000 men, grain, and baggage.

Although Lushun in front of us has not been completely lost, it seems to be in danger, and there is absolutely no time to delay.

Although the troops at hand are insufficient, with the support of a huge fleet, there is still no problem in landing and rushing for reinforcements.

Zhao Lie immediately ordered the launch of the landing and immediately reinforced Lushun.

If it took too long, it would be troublesome if Lushun was completely captured.

Ten Tang-class warships, including Li Ji, Hou Junji, Chai Shao, Heiji Changzhi, and Cheng Zhijie, began to turn and use their broadsides to confront the enemy.

The more than 5,000 soldiers of Jiannu had just formed a team.

This time the Han army was pushed to the front near the seaside.

Tuhai was helpless.

Many armored soldiers were at a loss to fight near the seaside.

"Tu Hai, why are you forming your team here?

Retreat to the east, quickly."

Tu Hai was watching the enemy.

There was a yell from behind, which was almost reprimanding him.

It was Hai Lai's voice, which made him extremely unhappy.

Peat, you are a Jiale Erzhen like me, and a certain person is the commander appointed by the two Beile Lords of Degereyuetuo.

How can you talk to me?

You can't treat him as a Nikan slave.

He turned around and was about to scold Hai Lai.

Boom boom boom boom.

The deafening sound of cannons was heard, and more than 300 artillery pieces on the sides of ten Tang-class ships and nearly ten patrol ships opened fire.

The roar of the artillery drowned out the voices of thousands of people at Nancheng Pier in the bay.

Most of the hundreds of projectiles rushed into Jiannu's military formation, immediately creating countless bloody paths.

Soldiers, soldiers, and horses flew out in various shapes, and fragments of various soldiers, armor, and horses were scattered.

The dock was like a hell.

So terrifying and ferocious.

Hai Lai watched as Tu Hai turned around and was instantly shattered by a projectile.

Splashing fragments were everywhere, and blood even sprayed on Hai Lai's body and face ten steps away.

After just one attack, the Jin army's military formation collapsed.

The first thing to collapse was really not the Han army's formation.

This did not mean that they could withstand the artillery bombardment, which was something that their bloody bodies simply could not contend with, but that they did not dare to flee no matter how frightened they were.

After all, they were the slave builders behind them.

In the military formation, if they dared to escape, they would be killed immediately, so even though the ground was bloody, they still suppressed their fear and stayed where they were.

On the contrary, the Jiannu Xianglan Banner armored soldiers behind the Han army immediately collapsed, and they swarmed around the corner of Lushun City to the east.

The Jiannu soldiers spent their entire lives wandering on the white mountains and black water grasslands, and they had an extreme lack of understanding and fear of the sea.

The sea, which is sometimes calm and sometimes violent, is mysterious and scary to them.

As for sea ships, most of the slaves have never seen it, let alone understand it.

Therefore, when these giant ships spewed out dense fog and fire, the sound shook the surrounding areas.

Hundreds of projectiles were instantly fired between them, sowing death and terror.

Out of ignorance and bloody terror, the Jiannujia soldiers developed an uncontestable fear.

They did not wait for military orders and fled like horses from the east city. .

Hai Lai couldn't control it no matter how much he restrained himself.

As soon as the slave-building soldiers left, the Han army was overjoyed.

The Jurchen elders who were supervising the army all ran away.

What were we waiting for?

They immediately got into a mess and rushed to escape from the dock.

Farewell to them was another round of roar of artillery, and another mess.

Many soldiers fell to the ground dead or howled miserably.

By the third round of bombardment, very few people had been hit, and most of the soldiers had fled the dock.

After all, it was very time-consuming and laborious to adjust the angle of the cannon at this time.

The bombardment of the warships ended here.

The fleet no longer needs to do more.

There are only many casualties of the Han army and the dead bodies of war horses left near the dock.

There are blood and debris everywhere.

It is simply a hell on earth.

At this time, there were still scattered Jiannu soldiers withdrawing from the top of Lushun City.

They were surprised to find that their army outside the city had fled, leaving behind casualties everywhere.

It took only half a day in the city to change outside the city.

Yan makes them confused and overwhelmed, so they can run away.

This was a great defeat that had not happened for many years since the establishment of the slaves.

By the time the warship's artillery turned its muzzle and adjusted its angle, the defeated troops had almost fled, so all the warships did not continue to fire and waste ammunition.

At this time, the five large sand ships behind began to approach the dock.

Their boats had a flat bottom and low freeboard, so they were most suitable for transporting troops to land.

Due to its low freeboard, it is not safe for long-distance navigation.

Sand ships are still suitable for coastal operations, but this kind of ship is suitable for beach operations.

Therefore, the five sand ships from Jeju were transferred.

It was not until yesterday when they approached Lushun that the first soldier to land, Mr.

Qian, boarded the sand ships.

At this time, these five warships were the first to land ashore, and the men and horses of Jeju Soldiers Qian rushed out of the ship.

They got used to the solid ground a little, and allowed their legs to change from a shaking state to a stable ground, and then They lifted a large number of horses from the ship and rushed to the shore.

This time, the two soldiers were commanded by Wei Mingtao.

This man, who had been depressed for a long time, now had the opportunity to lead an army alone.

Of course, he was very high-spirited.

At this time, he had just landed from the sand ship and immediately commanded the soldiers to reject the troops.

The horses were swung westward to block the road from Dongcheng to the dock.

The purpose was to prevent the attack of the large cavalry of the Jiannu slaves.

Although they are protected by heavy artillery, what if any of the slave-building soldiers rush in regardless of casualties?

After all, the soldiers are at their weakest when they land.

The soldiers set up a barrier of horses on the west side and two lines of horses on the east side.

The same was true for the strength of the troops.

Seven hundred soldiers guarded the east side, while there were only 300 people on the west side.

Wang Zheng was getting off the Wujie, and Luo Dong stayed on the ship to take the rear.

He and several other soldiers were the first to climb from the net ladder to the sand boat that came back to pick them up.

The soldiers who were still on top handed down their armor one by one, and the soldiers below put them away.

This process had been practiced many times.

Although they had not experienced battle formations, they were proficient in landing, boarding, street fighting, swimming and horseback riding.

I have no experience of being on the battlefield.

Wang Zheng looked at the dock in Lushun from a distance.

The soldiers were still busy on the dock, and the ground was full of corpses.

He looked up at the small city of Lushun, and his heart was extremely excited.

After many years, he finally set foot on the land of his hometown again.

The boy who killed his enemy and fled has now returned as the leader of the Polu Army.

Yes, Itea, I'm back.

"Hurry, hurry up," he turned and shouted.

Fang Yuanshan climbed the rope ladder and boarded the sand ship.

He followed his brothers from Shili one by one.

Hu Cheng, Li Guang, Tong Ying, Wang Hong and others boarded the ship one by one.

The last ones to board the ship were Zhenfu Luodong and him. of two guards.

"Check the soldiers' armor."

Mr.

Qian Tangzhen shouted.

This sandboat was crowded with four hundred generals.

As the main force entering the city, they were the first to board the city.

Therefore, it was unthinkable that they would not be fully equipped with soldiers and armor.

"The weapons and armor are complete."

"The weapons and armor are complete."

"The weapons and armor are complete."

"The soldiers and armor are all ready," Wang Zheng finally shouted.

"Set the ship."

Tang Zhen shouted.

The sand boat started slowly under the control of the sailors.

At this time, some sailors kept paddling the oars just to make the boat move faster.

"Everyone wear armor."

Tang Zhen yelled.

All the more than 400 people began to put on each other's armor, which was necessary for landing.

They had practiced the steps for a long time, and for a while, the sound of soldiers and armor clashing kept ringing.

All the soldiers put on their armor one after another, and finally all the soldiers finished donning their armor before arriving at the dock.

As soon as the ship docked, all the soldiers stepped onto the dock from the pedals of the sand ship.

As soon as they boarded the pier, everyone's legs were a little weak, but after many exercises, they knew that walking a few hundred steps would be fine, so they didn't take it seriously.

Fang Yuanshan and Quan Shi stepped onto the pier.

He suddenly felt greasy under his feet.

He looked down and saw a piece of skin under his feet.

It must have been broken by a projectile.

Fang Yuanshan's stomach churned.

Zhao Guang also stepped on an object, a broken arm.

"Bah, what a bad luck."

He kicked the broken arm away.

On the way to the city wall, what these hundreds of soldiers saw was a messy dock, with fragments of armor and lying corpses of men and horses everywhere.

A Jiannu armored soldier was groaning, his right arm was torn apart, exposing the white bones and red blood inside.

There was already black blood under his body, and the heavy bleeding had made him gradually fall into semi-consciousness.

When Wang Zheng passed by him, he stabbed his gun into his neck, but after hearing Gaden's sound, the neck of this Jiannu armored soldier was almost break.

Wang Zheng's subordinates watched Bai Zong pull out his spear expressionlessly, and then Wang Zheng killed three more Han soldiers and Jiannu wounded soldiers on the way, which made his subordinates look at him with suspicion.

How big was the king and Jiannu?

Hatred.

They came to the foot of the south city, where many ladders left by the slaves were still standing intact.

Just when Tangzhen was about to issue an order to climb the ladders to the city, Lushun's south gate made a rattling sound, and it suddenly opened from the inside. s: Thanks to gandu, deng0346ss, anf5730, The Fool of the Sand, thanks to Eternal Love, Yueqi, Tianya Fangcaoshu 100 for the reward, thanks to Kuaiji Mountain Man 007, Xiaodao 001, Book Friends 151219195153563 for the reward, and no other old friends Described one by one, thank you to the friends who subscribed and recommended:
