Facing the army of dog barbarians who came ashore from the beach one after another at the foot of the mountain, Shen Guanghui had no choice at all, because the battlement had almost been beaten to a pulp by the dog barbarians with the big guns on the warships.
Most of the Folang machines equipped on it are out of use. Even if one or two can fire, it will be of little help to the battle, and if you stay for a while, there will be more danger.
Because there are really more and more dog barbarians at the foot of the mountain. They are so dense that they are as dense as an ant colony, making people dizzy just looking at them. If they are surrounded by the army of dog barbarians, it will be impossible to break out of the encirclement.
"ah……"
As bursts of white smoke appeared at the bottom of the mountain, without thinking too much, I knew that Goumanzi's infantry had already opened fire. A few unlucky guys were unfortunately shot, and they screamed in pain.
Although the opponent lacks cavalry that can assault, firing in a dense formation from a long distance can still hurt one's own side, but with such a small number of people, one cannot counterattack.
"Withdraw~!"
Shen Guanghui gritted his molar teeth and issued the order. After the Eight Banners masters killed these ignorant barbarians, it would not be too late for him to save his face.
The remaining hundred or so people ran away as if they had received amnesty after hearing the news. They were subordinates of Xushun Gong Shen Zhixiang. They originally defected to the Qing Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty. If they were caught by the barbarians, they would have a good end. ?
But it was already a little late when Shen Guanghui gave the order. The Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain had almost formed a semi-surrounding situation on Golden Mountain.
However, because the vegetation on the back slope of Huanggang Mountain was still dense, and the various types of artillery carried by the Japanese army were not transported to the beach in large numbers, the defenders were allowed to shuttle through the dense forests and grass.
However, it was no longer possible to escape unscathed back to the city, because the thousands of Japanese soldiers who first landed had already completed their formation and were advancing in a three-stage attack.
The Japanese army's offensive tactics were also very reasonable. Each team did not fire at the same time, but fired alternately according to the formation.
A group of soldiers opened fire on the spot, while the teams on both sides moved forward as a team. In this way, even if the defenders rushed down the mountain, the advancing team could immediately stop advancing and shoot at the first opportunity.
Abe Shigeji didn't know what the Ming Crown Prince was thinking. He just sent a large number of artillery to his side. He also sent a band, which was really beyond his comprehension.
It was said that the music played by this band could boost morale, so Abe ordered him to follow the vanguard and land near the Golden Mountain, so that the Second Army, which he relied on most, could win the victory.
The Japanese soldiers who were still sorting out their personal belongings on the beach were stunned for a long time when they saw a group of Ming soldiers holding musical instruments also on the beach.
However, after forming the team, and with the permission of the on-site general, the band began to perform...
"Dududu~dududu~"
At first, they were just playing the flute, and then drums joined in. The rhythm was very clear and lively, which was very suitable for the infantry brigade to move forward. Many Japanese soldiers heard the music, and after a while, they learned to move forward on the drums.
This piece of music is the famous "Beef Grenadier March". It was very easy for the musicians of the Ming Dynasty to learn it. After a certain prince offered a high price, they were willing to go to Liaodong to serve the country, otherwise they would have to be sent to Shandong. Mining.
A certain prince believes that a suitable piece of military music can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops by 50%, boost morale by 100%, and enhance endurance by 250%...
The reason why the heroes in movies and TV series are so powerful is because they all have their own BGM. Ordinary NPCs do not have this treatment.
Therefore, a certain prince used the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield as a test field, and the Japanese soldiers were the guinea pigs participating in this "concert."
"March of the Beef Grenadiers" is only suitable for use in field battles. The Ming Dynasty King's Division cannot fight in field battles at the moment, so this preferential treatment falls on the Japanese army.
Teppanyaki Ashigaru are basically illiterate, but they can still identify a good piece of music with their ears. As soon as they heard this very special piece of music, their nervousness was immediately relieved, and their morale was quickly improved. .
After listening to it for a while, the entire team of Japanese iron gun ashigaru became fearless, marching majestically, carrying the banners of "Hachiman Dabodhisattva" and "Seven Lives to Serve the Country", as well as the banners with famous names printed on them. The pattern's fingers move forward.
After entering the plain area, the entire formation was completely unfolded, and it suddenly seemed vast and spectacular. The front team followed the rear team, shoulder to shoulder, people next to each other, like piles of movable human-shaped wheat waves.
The infantry warrior team walked in front of the entire infantry formation. In front of them were a few fast cavalry responsible for reconnaissance. From the appearance, they were almost the same as the European battle formations of the same era.
There is no doubt that the Japanese army was also one of the originators of the platoon-to-shoot tactic, because the effective range of the iron cannon was only a hundred paces away. Without forming a dense formation, it would be difficult to maintain the density of firepower across the width of the unit and give the enemy effective firepower. Kill.
With the help of "March of the Beef Grenadiers", the Japanese army was greatly encouraged and became even more murderous. The appearance of hundreds of hundred-man formations, without firing a single shot, scared the Qing army's spies near Huangjin Mountain. He ran away in a stream of urine.
A certain prince believed that the songs of the island country should be used by the troops of the island country. Although the two are not on the same island, they should be somewhat useful. After listening to this song, the Ming Dynasty King's queue became more orderly.
At the same time, Zheng Zhibao asked the fleet to sail directly into Lushun Port, allowing the main force of the Japanese army to disembark directly from the port, so that they could approach the northern and southern cities of Lushun as soon as possible.
These two cities were originally built by the Ming Dynasty to defend against the Tatars. After they were lost a few years ago, they were occupied by the Tatars. It is estimated that there are no less than a thousand real and fake Tatars stationed in them.
Since the army was approaching the city, Zheng Zhibao and Abe Shigetsu both hoped that there would be as many prey as possible in the city. Zheng Zhibao would not split the reward, but he also hoped to catch all the Tatars here as soon as possible.
In this way, he can lead the fleet to destroy the Tatar navy hiding on the shore. This is his credit, and it is the kind that can be captured easily.
There was still no movement in Lushun City, but the city gates in all four directions had long been closed. From time to time, heads could be seen moving at the top of the city, obviously prepared for defense.
Stationed here is Melezhangjing Rausa with a red flag. Under his command are two Niulu Eight Banners warriors and five Niulu slave soldiers. Those losers are all the troops of Xushun Gong Shen Zhixiang.
Rausa himself was brave and good at fighting. As early as the second year of Tiancong, he won the title of "Gala Yizhangjing". He fought repeatedly against the Ming Dynasty and won many victories in the Daling River, Xiaoling River, and Songjin areas. Quite abundant.
It's just that Lausa came from Xianghongqi. Originally, the flag owner of Xianghongqi was Yue Tuo, who had a bright future. However, with Yue Tuo's death last year, the flag owner was replaced by Shuo Tuo, who was not well regarded.
Shuotuo disappeared on his own during the reign of Emperor Taizu. It was rumored that he had taken refuge with Man Ming and later came back on his own initiative. Daishan was furious at that time and repeatedly asked Shuotuo to be executed in front of Emperor Taizu, but he did not get what he wanted. .
After the death of Yue Tuo, the eldest son with the most military talent, Shuo Tuo legitimately inherited the position of leader of the red flag, because Daishan's third son Saharin and sixth son Ma Zhan died earlier than Yue Tuo...
Daishan's fourth son Wakda, fifth son Barama, and seventh son Mandahai are all still young, which leaves Shuotuo without many competitors.
Because Shuotuo was repeatedly mistreated by Daishan when he was young, Huang Taiji also knew about this, so he sent him to the Liaodong Peninsula to guard the palace. He did not seek merit, but he must have no faults.
Shuotuo himself had no objections to this arrangement, but it would be difficult for a strong general like Lausa to make meritorious deeds unless the Qing army mobilized all its troops to conquer Manming.
Daishan still did not intend to spare Shuo Tuo lightly, so he decorated the red flag with five armors. As the flag owner, Shuo Tuo was actually only given two, and the remaining three were given to the Seventh Son Man Dahai.
Shuo Tuo's camp was located in Fuzhou City, where a Jia La army was stationed. There is also a Jiala stationed here in Jinzhou, but there are three Niulu in Jinzhou city. Lushun is an important town, and it is also assigned to two Niulu, led by Lausa.
I originally thought that after being taught many lessons by the King of Qing Dynasty, Man Ming would no longer dare to take advantage of Lushun. Unexpectedly, he actually came and brought many troops with him.
If there were less than 10,000 troops, Lausa would dare to lead his troops out of the city to fight, and directly drive the wise losers into the sea to feed the fish.
However, Tan Ma reported that thousands of warships appeared on the sea, which was definitely not a mirage, and it could be judged from the sound of the bombardment that the Man Ming navy was well prepared this time, and Lausa did not dare to take it lightly.
He hurriedly described the situation in Lushun, sent his own troops to Jinzhou and Fuzhou, and then deployed his troops, intending to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.
As soon as the army led by the flag leader Shuo Tuo arrives, they can cooperate internally and externally, defeat the barbarian army in one fell swoop, and achieve a complete victory.
Jinzhou is very close to Lushun, and Fuzhou is not far away. Reinforcements will arrive within three days. In Rausa's view, holding on for such a short period of time should not be a problem.
It's just that Shen Guanghui took the initiative to abandon the defense of Golden Mountain, which made him very angry. Lausa saw the general situation there with a telescope. This guy ran down from Golden Mountain and took his troops to bypass Lushun City and ran elsewhere.
It is estimated that this dog slave also knows that there will be no good end for him when he comes back, but once Bei Ziye's army arrives and repels the dog barbarians, it will not be too late to capture Shen Guanghui and settle the score.
The huge Liaodong belonged to the Qing Dynasty, so he could go wherever he could, unless he took refuge with the Goumanzi, but if that was the case, he wouldn't have escaped inland.
When the Man Ming Navy sailed into the bay unscrupulously, Lausa couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he saw it. Warships of all sizes almost filled the entire bay. It seemed that there were still many warships outside that had not sailed in.
How many warships will be mobilized?
Is it possible that the dog barbarians are going to regain the Liaodong Peninsula?
According to Tan Ma's report, most of the warships hoisted the Zheng flag.
Lausasi thought about it over and over again, but couldn't agree on what it meant. Finally, he patted his head and realized that this must be Zheng Zhilong's fleet.
The Manzi Dog Emperor could actually instruct Zheng Zhilong to send ships to transport the Dog Manzi army to land in Lushun. This makes sense, but it also means that his defense zone, especially the Second City of Lushun, will be violently attacked.
It was extremely foolish to go out to fight out of the city at this time. Although the Eight Banners warriors were invincible in the field, it would be overestimating their capabilities to use less than 600 men to compete with the opponent's 10,000 troops and a large number of warships.
A group of people appeared from the direction of Golden Mountain in the southeast. According to Tanma's estimate, the number was no less than ten thousand.
Before this was over, the warships sailing into the bay blatantly began to unload soldiers, causing more and more barbarians to come ashore.
After a simple visual inspection, Lausa estimated that the opponent had at least 20,000 people, which not only made him feel a little numb.
The dog barbarian would have done without a fight, but when he did, he sent out so many troops and attacked his own city of Lushun. He was really unlucky.
Thirty thousand troops besieged the Second City of Lushun, which was defended by less than 2,000 troops. Such a disparity in strength made Lausa a little worried.
The one Niulu under Shen Guanghui's command can be ignored, and Lausa can only count on two Niulu's Eight Banners warriors and four Niulu's slave soldiers.
These six Niulu are not at full capacity, they are full, but only 1,700 people.
This really put Lausa in a bit of a dilemma. Even if the people in the city were mobilized to defend the city, it would probably be of no avail.
More importantly, the city of Lushun was not equipped with a considerable number of Hongyi cannons, so it was simply unable to compete with the Ming warships on the shore.
Without heavy firearms, the consequences are obvious, that is, from the beginning of the fighting, the defenders will be passively beaten.
The opponent's cannon can reach you, but your own cannon can't reach others.
You don't dare to go out of the city to fight. There are tens of thousands of barbarians outside. That is tantamount to actively seeking death.
On the one hand, he was waiting for death, and on the other hand, he was seeking death. Rausa, who had experienced many battles, encountered this difficult situation for the first time.
Goumanzi's infantry brigade was very experienced, and they all consciously stopped advancing outside the range of the city's artillery.
However, the two cities were surrounded very purposefully. No matter which direction they broke through, the defenders had to pay a heavy price.
Then……
"Boom boom boom!"
The warships on the shore began to violently bombard the northern and southern cities of Lushun one after another. The scene was as sharp as thunder falling from the earth.
As the bridgehead of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Second City of Lushun was built very solidly by the Man Ming Dynasty. The circumference of the two cities was about one mile and one hundred and thirty paces, with a moat one foot and two feet deep.
The two cities in the north and south are only more than a hundred steps apart, which is not far away at all. In an emergency, they can support each other. Rausa will be in charge of the north city, and the defense task of the south city will be handed over to Niulu Zhangjing Samutang.
Both Rausa and Samutang looked down upon the slave soldiers under Duke Xushun. However, in extraordinary times, they still had to be entrusted with important tasks. As long as they did not surrender to the barbarians, everything was easy to negotiate.
At this time, if the slaves suddenly rebel because of cursing them and open one of the gates in the north and south cities, the army of barbarians will swarm in, and it is impossible to block them.
Rausa specially warned Samutang not to have a similar situation happen, and the latter naturally understood.
If the Second City of Lushun is lost, Long Yan will definitely be furious, and his head will definitely not be saved.
If after a bloody battle, the invading barbarians are repelled, the emperor will be happy, and the two of them will be promoted.
There's just one problem waiting to be solved, that is, the barbarians outside the city don't seem to be afraid of the Qing soldiers in the city.
this……
Not only did they set up camp, but there was also smoke rising from the kitchen, as if cooking had already begun.
It's so abominable that they don't take the hundreds of Qing soldiers in the city seriously.
This is understandable, because for a short time, the shelling will not stop at all.
Zheng Zhibao's fleet cannot deal with the dog Tatars on land, but it can intimidate the dog Tatars in Lushun in this way.
If you can kill a hundred or so of them, then you just picked them up, and your trip was not in vain.
It can be stated in the memorial that the fleet cooperated with the Japanese army to recapture the two cities of Lushun in one fell swoop.
Generals of the Zheng family would do such things as taking the initiative to put money in their own faces...
