The battle in Yushan has reached a critical moment.
Dorgon used his genius idea to teach Yu Lichun a practical lesson.
Although in terms of age, Yu Lichun is older than Dorgon. But in terms of combat experience, Dorgon completely overwhelmed Lichun.
After all, Dorgon went to the battlefield at the age of nine. After more than ten years of hard work, what has he not seen?
Yu Lichun only arranged one company of troops on Yushan.
Originally, I thought that Yushan was right next to the city wall, and the artillery behind the city wall could support the mountain, so there was no fear of Hou Jin attacking the mountain.
But they didn't expect that Dorgon would light smoke everywhere on the battlefield, so that the sight of the new army was seriously obstructed.
Covered by the smoke, Dorgon sent ten Niulus to launch the most violent attack on Yushan.
Not only that, this time Dorgon also changed his tactics.
He asked the Eight Banners infantry to rush forward with shields and act as human shields.
Shi Tingzhu led Wu Zhenchaoha closely behind.
It was just to close the distance with the New Army and create opportunities for Wu Zhenchaoha.
In the past Jin wars, the Han people acted as cannon fodder, creating opportunities for the Jurchen elites to harvest the battlefield.
But this time in order to win, Dorgon had to go against his will.
Among the senior officials of Hou Jin Dynasty, only Huang Taiji was really kind to the Han people.
The rest of Dorgon, Duduo and others all regarded the Han people as slaves of pigs and dogs. Although it is not said to be a wanton insult, it can be ignored.
This is why during the Huang Taiji era, the Hou Jin Dynasty was able to win a great victory every time it fought against the Ming Dynasty; but in the Dorgon and Shunzhi eras, it took decades to pacify Jiangnan alone.
Without the Yangzhou Tenth and Jiading Three Massacres, the resistance of the Han people would not have been so fierce.
But this time in the face of reality, Dorgon also chose to follow his heart.
Guarding Jade Mountain was the 117th Company.
They didn't know how many enemies were in front of them, but they fired round after round.
He watched countless enemies fall, but more enemies rushed up again.
Even though they were condescending, the damage that more than a hundred muskets could cause was still extremely limited.
The 117th Company also had two supporting mortars.
Despite the gunner's best efforts, the delivery of the shells was still somewhat poor.
Finally, the Jurchen infantry relied on their flesh and blood to reach within fifty steps.
They quickly dispersed to both sides, Wu Zhenchaoha bared his fangs.
Although this distance was far less than the effective killing range of the Houjin Fire Gun, the general commanding the battle could no longer care.
Seeing so many Jurchen warriors die tragically, he was already a little scared.
Wu Zhenchaoha lined up in rows and rows. After crossing the line, he ignored them and just fired upwards.
The new army above also desperately delivered firepower.
For the first time, the new army and the rear army exchanged fire on the battlefield.
In the first round of confrontation, Wu Zhenchaoha suffered dozens of casualties, while the New Army suffered several casualties.
Shi Tingzhu quickly ordered, and Wu Zhenchaoha from the second row stepped forward.
But this kind of rotation is still not as fast as the new army.
While the second row of musketeers were still moving forward, the new army's muskets fired first.
Seeing this scene, Shi Tingzhu's eyes were filled with tears.
He really wanted to see what the New Army's firearms looked like and why they were so brutal?
Fortunately, the number of new troops was too small and the damage caused was limited.
In the second round, the musketeers stood up, and after a burst of white smoke, the new army was sacrificed.
If the fight continues like this, sooner or later all the men in the 117th Company will be exhausted.
But just then, the navy arrived.
"It seems that Yu Lichun's life is not easy."
Standing on the command podium, Zhang Keda had a clear view of the battlefield situation through the telescope.
"Order all artillery to provide fire support to that hilltop."
Zhang Keda could see the importance of Yushan at a glance.
More than twenty warships slowly approached the shore. Once within range, all the heavy artillery began to pour out firepower.
Although the Jurchens saw these warships at a distance of more than 6,000 meters, they had no choice but to do anything.
The power of heavy artillery is much more terrifying.
Although the accuracy of more than 20 artillery shells was average, they still wreaked havoc in the Jurchen array.
It is unknown how many people died in this shelling.
Anyway, Wuzhenchaoha's originally tight three-row array was only less than half left after the bombardment.
The broken limbs and arms in mid-air were accompanied by blood, dyeing the entire space red.
Shi Tingzhu staggered up from the ground, his ears filled with buzzing sounds. His eyes were filled with blood, and everything he looked at was shaky.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
This battle cannot be fought.
Although they knew that the new army on the mountain had suffered heavy losses, they would definitely be able to attack it with more force.
But the new army at the top of the mountain was supported by naval guns, and Hou Jin's power could not be added anyway.
The painstaking plan was broken by the sudden arrival of the navy, and Dorgon vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
He stared blankly at the giant creatures swimming on the sea, feeling weak all over.
After all, the Jurchens are just warriors in the grasslands and forests, and they are really powerless in the face of attacks from the sea.
"Withdraw troops."
Yushan was not captured, and no matter how fiercely the Jurchens fought on the front, they could do nothing to the New Army's city wall.
If the fight continues, under attack from both sides, the Jurchens' losses will only be greater.
Withdrawal became the only option.
Amidst the sound of the trumpet, the troops of Hou Jin came and went in a hurry, and quickly retreated to the camp of Yongxing Temple.
The disgraced Yu Lichun on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but chatter when I saw the warships on the sea.
"Grandma, it's easy for these navy to just fire cannons and drive away the Tatars."
The person next to me said angrily: "Brigade commander, adjust your deployment quickly. If it weren't for the navy, we would be in disgrace today."
Yu Lichun wiped his face and quickly ordered more troops to be sent to Yushan. At the same time, the entire army was asked to brainstorm ways to deal with the Houjin Smoke Formation.
Zhang Keda did not take it seriously after helping the advance detachment heading north to relieve the siege. Instead, he commanded the fleet to continue heading north along the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula.
The fleet staying here can at most help the advance detachment heading north to defend.
Then Jin fights or not, but he is free.
The purpose of the fleet was to force Hou Jin to withdraw his troops.
Houjin has also been monitoring the movements of this sudden fleet.
"Baylor, those southern ships are heading north."
Dorgon closed his eyes and meditated.
"What do they want?"
Azig was alert and experienced, and he judged it immediately.
"No, these southerners want to cut off our retreat."
Dorgon didn't know why.
"These southerners can still be arrogant for a while on the water. If they come to land, who will be my opponent to the Eight Banners warriors?"
Azig said angrily: "Can this Shandong New Army be the same?"
Recalling the scenes on the battlefield during this period, Dorgon couldn't help but take a breath.
"Quickly send an order to Gaizhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard to be on guard."
