Dachangshan Island, Xiaochangshan Island, Zhangzi Island, and Guanglu Island were captured one after another by the fleet of the Tiger Flag. The king's flag was changed to the city head, and the big flag of the Tiger Flag was planted on it.
The troops on several islands were divided, and the battalion brought by Zhao Wu from Pidao only had a fully organized team of 1,000 soldiers. The other soldiers were stationed on the island in the form of various military units.
Although the troops are dispersed, the security of the island is guaranteed.
There are still captured officers and soldiers on the island. As long as they are trained and transformed over a period of time and added to the island's guard team to strengthen the island's defense, the islands can rest easy.
"There is a green mud puddle ahead." Zheng Chao raised his finger and pointed to the coastline in front of the sea.
Zhao Wu raised his monocular and glanced toward the shore, and said: "It seems that the Ming army already knew that we would land at Qingniwa. There are many officers and soldiers deployed on the shore. We still follow the old rules."
"Don't worry, I will clean up the enemies on the shore for you." Zheng Chao said in a relaxed tone.
For this battle for Lushun, when the fleet set off from Phi Island, it had already brought enough gunpowder on board to attack each island along the way. They first bombarded the islands with ship cannons, and then the warships on the ship were launched. The soldiers landed to fight.
This time, the same tactics were used to attack Qingni Bay.
Although the routines remain unchanged, the Ming army is so rigid that even the same routines work very well every time.
As the main ship conveyed orders to other ships using semaphores, soon the roar of cannons sounded on the sea.
Especially on the main ship, the main gun on the ship is a forty-eight-pound heavy gun. When the heavy gun falls on the shore, it will create a deep pit.
No matter what kind of flesh and blood, after being shot, it will become a meat pie.
Zhao Wu stood on the side of the ship and observed the situation on the shore through the monocular telescope in his hand.
From the monocular telescope, he saw the corpses of officers and soldiers falling to the ground. Every time a cannon fell on the shore, there were always officers and soldiers on the shore who could no longer stand up.
There was no shortage of gunpowder on the ship, so they bombarded the officers and soldiers on the shore to their heart's content.
The cannons are like plowing the land. The cannons at sea plow the land on the shore over and over again, but what they plow out is not noisy soil, but flesh and blood mixed with mud and water.
The officers and soldiers on the shore could not bear it and began to flee away from the coast.
Zhao Wu, who stood on the side of the ship and witnessed all this, looked very calm from beginning to end, no matter how many officers and soldiers on the shore were killed or injured.
War has always been a game of life and death, and there is no room for any kind thoughts.
"It's almost done!" Zheng Chao walked to Zhao Wu's side.
Zhao Wu, holding a monocular telescope in his hand, said: "Let the ship's cannon blast again, don't let the fish slip through the net. _o_m "
He wanted the officers and soldiers to stay away from the shore.
"You can't let it go like this when you're angry! It's not that I don't let you attack Lushun. This is the commander's order. You and I will attack Qingniwa, and Xing Chaoxi's war barracks will attack Lushun City." Zheng Chao spread his hands in aggrieved manner. .
Just after they captured the Changshan Islands, another fleet from Pi Island caught up.
The task of attacking Lushun City was completed by another fleet. The task of Zheng Chao and Zhao Wu became to land from Qingniwa and seize Nanguan Island.
Zhao Wu put down the monocular telescope in his hand, turned around and said to Zheng Chao: "There will be another round of shelling, and I will lead the troops ashore."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, let's have another round." Zheng Chaohui turned around and told the messenger beside him.
The messenger ran to deliver the message.
Soon the sound of cannons echoed across the sea again.
The rumbling sound of shelling was like thunder in the sky, reaping the lives of the remaining officers and soldiers on the shore one after another.
After a round of shelling, the landing boats were ready.
"Get on the boat!" Zhao Wu ordered.
Groups of soldiers began to board the ship. In addition to the soldiers with the Tiger Flag, there were many captured officers and soldiers who also boarded the ship with these soldiers.
The captive soldiers who boarded the ship all had family members on the island, so they were not afraid of betrayal by these people.
Small boats filled with tiger flag soldiers rowed from the sea to the shore.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The brass whistle of *** sounded. . (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 2258 Landing
Groups of soldiers gathered on the shore, and the captive soldiers also moved to one place.
The soldiers of the Tiger Flag are basically armed with muskets and bayonets, while the captive soldiers are mainly armed with spears and swords and shields.
"Have the gunners arrived? Have the cannons been transported?" Zhao Wu stood in front of the team and asked loudly.
At this time, the artillery captain in the team stood up and said: "Report to the battalion, a four-pounder cannon and two small Fran cannons have been transported."
As for the Crouching Tiger Cannon, he didn't say anything, because the Crouching Tiger Cannon weighs only a few dozen kilograms and will be carried by one or two soldiers. It is not as troublesome as other cannons.
"Too few." Zhao Wu said to the captain of the artillery team in front of him, "I will leave you a small team to handle the cannons coming from behind."
"Yes." The artillery team leader responded.
Zhao Wu turned to say: "Everyone checks the weapons, the gunner checks the three guns on the shore, and in a quarter of an hour, attack Qingniwa."
As he spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time.
This pocket watch was given to him personally by Liu Heng when he left Datong. Due to the temporary limited production, not many people own pocket watches.
Qingniwa is only a few miles away from the shore.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly. Zhao Wu stood up from the ground and ordered: "Everyone stand up, target the green mud puddle in front."
The beacon tower in Qingniwa had been lit long ago, and thick smoke billowed in the sky, conveying the news to several thousand other households that the enemy was invading.
Qingniwa is a thousand-household office under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Guard.
Although the Jinzhou Guard fell into the hands of slaves, several Qianhu Stations from Nanguan to the west were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Lushunkou area, where naval officers and soldiers were stationed.
Zhao Wu led his troops to a place one mile away from Qingniwa Fort.
"Damn it, it's a good thing I brought the cannon, otherwise a lot of people would have died in this battle." Zhao Wu had been in the army for a long time, and his words were much more vulgar than when he was in Datong.
Through the monocular in his hand, he could see the figures of the Ming army swaying above Qingniwa Fort. @精品\/书馆*First update~~
"Yingzheng, are you going to fight?" Wang Ju, who was accompanying the team, stepped forward.
Zhao Wu put down the monocular telescope in his hand, looked back and said: "Push the cannon up and fire two cannons on the city first."
A four-pounder gun and two small Fran cannons were pushed forward.
The gunners began to adjust the muzzle.
The guard in Qingniwa Fort is a Qianhu.
The officers and soldiers who used the Tiger Character Banner to bombard the shore at sea were all soldiers and horses of his Qianhu Station.
There are only 608 soldiers stationed in Qingniwa Fort. It's not that they can't recruit soldiers, but there are too many soldiers and horses to support them. As for the full complement of soldiers, even the officers and soldiers stationed in Ningjin can't do it. , let alone a small thousand-household residence. .
