"Ao? You attacked the city so soon?" Banba Yuehao was about to stand up leisurely, but the cold wind blew into his neck, he wrapped his leather robe and bowed down, "How is the battle? Ming army casualties? How many people are there?"
"Uh really, I didn't see the casualties of the Ming army... Maybe it was too dark outside the city, but our soldiers guarding the city's head suffered more than 30 casualties."
"What? In such a while, more than 30 people were injured or killed?" Banba Yue roar lost all the leisurely, he wrapped his leather robe tightly, and his eyes widened. "There really were no casualties in the Ming army? what happened?"
"Maybe there were casualties..."
Ban Ye Yue Roo originally wanted to go to the West City Gate to see how his soldiers were injured, but the Ming army’s offensive was too fierce, and if it was delayed, the casualties would increase. He punched in the air: "Go, from the north. The city gate breaks through."
The three Niulu Jurchen soldiers were all concentrated at the North City Gate. Since the Golden State was abandoned, Ban Yeyue Roar would take away all the soldiers. If the city was lost, he could retake it again. If the soldiers were wounded, they would never return. not coming.
The north gate was opened suddenly, and the Jurchen cavalry rushed out from the gate hole.
To Ban Ye Yuehao's surprise, thousands of Ming troops were already lined up to welcome him out of the city about two hundred steps outside the city gate.
"What is the Ming army doing? Are they tofu infantry also wanting to stop our Jurchen cavalry?"
No one answered him, except his own sneer.
Although the Ming army has thousands of them, Banba Yueshou didn’t take it seriously. Even if he couldn’t fight, he could use the speed advantage of the cavalry to flee north. Now he has to retreat. Not only was he ridiculed by his subordinates, but also The gate of the city also had a large number of Ming troops.
"Speed up, rush over, trample these ants to death."
The Jurchen cavalry who had left the city began to accelerate, but the gate was too small, and most of the cavalry had not left the city. The cavalry team stretched very long.
From the death line of 200 steps to 100 steps, the horses did not raise their speed at all, and the cavalry only rang halfway through a fart.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
…
More than 1,300 gunmen in the first row shot all the bullets in the first time.
More than two hundred Jurchen soldiers suddenly fell from their horses while running.
Banba Yuehao was not among the two hundred soldiers, he was in the middle of the team.
Ban Ye Yuehao only heard a rush of gunshots, and the running soldier fell off his horse. He immediately reacted: Ming army muskets.
"Put down the scimitar and shoot an arrow."
Banba Yueshou also prepared to attack the Ming army in front of him with a long-range attack. He moved the horse's head and left the attacking cavalry formation from the side.
The Jurchen soldiers put away their scimitars and inserted them into the scabbards around their waists. They all took their bows and arrows from their backs and aimed at the Ming army from the back of their galloping horses.
But the Ming army did not give them a chance to fire. The range of the flintlock rifle was far greater than that of the bow and arrow. At a hundred paces, the Ming army's second and third row gunmen started shooting.
The Ming army completed a wave of shooting, four thousand rounds, and over five hundred Jurchen soldiers have been shot down.
The light from the torch was faint, but Itabhazuki was still able to see it. His soldiers continued to fall from their horses. The Jurchen soldiers tried their best to shoot the arrow in their hands towards the shadows, but Itabhazuki could not see it. The casualties of the Ming army.
All the Jurchen soldiers have left the northern city gate. Hundreds of soldiers squeezed beside Ban Yeyue Roar. Ban Yeyue Roar could not control the casualties of the Ming Army. He shouted: "Warriors, rush, crush the Ming Army. The defense line, trampled to death these reckless Ming troops."
The Jurchen riders are very good soldiers, and their discipline is very good. With the encouragement of Banba Yueroo, they stepped onto the Ming army's defense line one by one.
Flintlock completed another wave of firing. The cavalry was no longer visible on the horse's back. Even Ban Yeyue's roar disappeared. I don't know when, he also fell.
The sound of horseshoe hitting the ground suddenly disappeared. Only the wounded soldiers groaned in the darkness. Li Changshan's gaze cast towards the north gate of the black hole, but there was no movement at the north gate.
"Light a torch and clean up the wounded!"
The Ming army has formed a routine, the wounded soldiers are all made up with a lethal knife, killing people!
These wounded soldiers could not become Da Ming's labor force for the time being, and they had to consume food and medicine. The Ming army was in the Northern Expedition and had no time to take care of them.
A large number of torches were lit, shining the North City Gate brighter than it was at the full moon, and the ground was full of dead bodies and rolling wounded soldiers.
The soldiers of the First Marine Division, regardless of whether the wounded soldiers were dead or not, all the Jurchen soldiers were mended.
There were fewer than 900 Jurchen soldiers, and the Ming army made up for them, which was time for a cough.
Li Changshan saw that the North City Gate was wide open. He estimated that there were not many cavalry to build slaves. "Go, enter the city, everyone should be careful to prevent slave soldiers from shooting cold arrows in the dark."
The four thousand Ming army, armed with flintlocks, entered the city from the north gate of the city mightily. In the night, they held their heads high, like triumphant soldiers.
The three Niu Lus of the Jurchens in the city were all shot and killed by them. They are eligible to enjoy the welcome, but the Han people in the city are now hiding in their houses, not even daring to open the door, let alone welcome them.
At the time of the fourth watch, all four city gates were opened, and the entire First Marine Division entered the city, but no matter how they searched, they could not find any soldiers to build slaves.
After daybreak, the Ming army gradually calmed down, and Li Changshan handed it over to the staff to deal with civil affairs, while he hid in the barracks and fell asleep with his head covered.
When the North Sea Fleet transported the Second Marine Division to Lushun, it was discovered that the First Marine Division had already left Lushun. Zhang Zhu, the deputy commander of the fleet, did not let the Second Division disembark at all. He used a transport ship along the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula. , Directly transported the soldiers to Nanxunkou.
From Lushun to Nanxunkou, if you go by land, you need to go around a huge bend. The whole journey is more than 500 miles. If you go by sea and land, the straight-line distance is less than 300 miles.
Zhang Zhu estimated that the second division might arrive at Nanxunkou earlier than the first division.
The third division stationed in Lushun was unwilling to be left behind. There were no more soldiers in the rear. They only left a small number of soldiers. They were preparing to receive future supplies in Lushun. The rest of the soldiers went north by land and chased them. Go at the pace of the first division.
When the Third Marine Division arrived at the Golden State, the first division had already ended the battle and rested for a long time.
Li Changshan and Lin Fucheng, the commander of the Third Division, agreed to leave a Marine Corps of the Third Division in Jinzhou to ensure the complete establishment of the First Division.
The First Marine Division also seized more than one hundred war horses and temporarily organized them into cavalry companies.
As the North Sea Fleet had moved north along the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Changshan temporarily abandoned the plan to rendezvous with Mao Wenlong. The First Marine Division and the Third Marine Division rushed to merge with the Second Division along the west coast.
Jiang Kaiping's Second Marine Division took advantage of the sea transportation, and they had already reached Nanxunkou.
To the west of Nanxunkou, there are a series of islands such as Changsheng Island, Zhongdao Island and Chahe Island. This was once an important supply base for the Dongjiang Army. However, after Mao Wenlong retreated to the Yalu River, most of the Dongjiang Army here was withdrawn. Only a few soldiers from the Dongjiang Army grow food on nearby islands.
The Dongjiang army here is too small to dare to go ashore at all. As long as the Jurchen soldiers on the shore don't wading and attack them, they will burn a lot of incense.
The Jurchen soldiers didn’t take the Dongjiang Army here seriously. They didn’t bother to patrol. There were basically no Jurchen soldiers facing the south and north floods of the island. Jiang Kaiping relied on the guidance of Dongjiang soldiers to land. At the same time, they attacked the Nanxunkou and Beixunkou, and controlled the key points of the island to be monitored in their own hands.
The Jurchen soldiers were mainly stationed in Fuzhou and Yongning north of Beixunkou. After the first and third divisions of the Marine War arrived at Beixunkou, the three division commanders met on the battlefield for the first time. They urgently discussed countermeasures against Fuzhou and Yongning. .
The Marine Corps does not have artillery, and cannot easily blast the walls. It must attack or outsmart it. Moreover, the Marine Corps is a master of the Northern Expedition and should not be exposed prematurely.
According to the topographic map provided by the Dongjiang Army, the three division commanders agreed: Jiang Kaiping’s 3rd Division, under the guidance of Dongjiang Army soldiers, would lie in ambush in the northeast of Fuzhou City, completely cut off the connection between Fuzhou and Yongning, and prevent the Jurchen soldiers in the city. Fleeing north, leaking information about the Marine Corps;
Lin Fucheng’s 3rd Marine Division lay in ambush in the southeast as a reserve team;
Li Changshan's First Marine Division, as the main offensive force, will change into the Dongjiang Army's costumes and attack from the Nancheng Gate to try to lure the Jurchen soldiers out of the city.
In the early morning, the thin mist has not yet completely dispersed, and the sun has just been covered by the dehydrated mist.
The defender of Fuzhou could not be removed. He was tasting the hot horse milk tea. His subordinates reported: "Er Zhen, outside Nancheng, I found the figure of the Dongjiang army."
"Dongjiang Army?" Yi Mibu gently put down the horse milk tea, "It's been a long time since I saw them, how dare they appear outside the city? Can't they survive?"
"Uh really, the fog has cleared. We can clearly see that there are hundreds of Dongjiang troops outside the city."
"Hundreds? So many? Is Mao Wenlong's main force coming?"
The messenger shook his head: "This... we don't know."
"Where is Beixunkou? Is there a message back?"
"Uh really, not yet."
"Since the Beixunkou has not sent a message back, it is not from Changsheng Island, it must be Mao Wenlong's main force." Yi lost not standing up, raised the horse milk tea in front of him, and took a big sip, "Order all three. Niu Lu, follow me out of the city and slaughter the Dongjiang army."
In the city of Fuzhou, there were only four Niu Lu, and three Niu Lu were taken away not once, which showed the importance of the Dongjiang Army and the determination to eliminate it completely, mainly because he believed that Mao Wenlong's main force was coming.
Three Niu Lu and nine hundred cavalry rushed out of the city from the southern gate, without a horse taking the lead, searching for the main force of the Dongjiang army outside the city.
However, within the scope of the naked eye, the Dongjiang Army had already escaped without a shadow, and was so angry that he did not slap a horse and yelled: "These Han dogs escape faster than rabbits."
"Er Zhen, these pieces of cloth should be on the clothes of the Dongjiang Army."
I didn't look down and saw that there was a small pile of scattered cloth on the grass, which should have fallen off from the ragged clothes, and the scattered pieces of cloth extended all the way to the southwest.
"Chasing, we must kill the Dongjiang Army to all." Yi Shi did not shoot the horse first, but still ran at the forefront of the cavalry.
Ten miles to the southeast, Yi lost not finally caught up with the "Dongjiang Army."
It is not surprising that the Dongjiang Army’s weapons are not the wooden sticks, hoes, brooms, shovels, and bamboo rakes they commonly use, but fire sticks. Each soldier holds a fire stick in his hand. The long stick pressed against his chest, and the soldiers in the first row were still kneeling on the ground.
These Dongjiang army did not look like soldiers on the battlefield at all, they seemed to be praying.
"These Dongjiang army must be hungry and faint, and are now praying for their Buddha." Yi Shibu thought to himself, but the horse did not slow down at all.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
…
Without noticing it, a bright red blood, with a familiar smell, flowed from his forehead. He was thinking, whose blood is this, the horse behind has knocked him off the horse.
