The cavalry in front fell, but the cavalry behind could not stop. After a few rounds of shooting, the remaining ten Jurchen soldiers finally realized that the opposite was not the Dongjiang Army, and the Dongjiang Army did not have so many firearms.
The Ming army didn't let them struggle for long. The range of the flintlock had been extended to the maximum. Even if the remaining Jurchen soldiers didn't strike forward, the bullets of the flintlock could still be reached.
Looking at the wounded soldiers on the ground, Li Changshan didn't hesitate: "Kill, we can't fight with prisoners."
Countless sabers were unsheathed one after another, and the dead soldiers on the ground were all made up with a lethal knife.
Most of the horses had been casualties or fled. Li Changshan received only less than two hundred horses. These unowned horses naturally belonged to his First Marine Division.
There was only one Niu Lu left in the city of Fuzhou, and Li Changshan decided to attack.
While Li Changshan sent a battalion of soldiers to cut down trees nearby to create a ladder for siege of the city, while taking the rest of the soldiers, he rushed to besiege the city of Fuzhou.
Seeing the Ming army pressing down on the southern city gate in large numbers, the Jurchen soldiers on the front of the city opened their bows and arrows, but the famous army stopped at a hundred paces away.
The effective range of the flintlock gun is up to 100 steps, while the Jurchen's bow and arrow have a range of only 60 steps. For a strong soldier, the range will not exceed 80 steps.
The Ming Army’s flintlocks had been aimed at the Jurchen soldiers on the head of the city. The Jurchen soldiers were all lying on the parapet. Their bows and arrows were also aimed at the city, and both sides were in a stalemate.
"shooting."
Li Changshan gave an order, and the flintlock bullets, like locusts, flew toward the head of the city, toward the head and upper body of the Jurchen soldier.
The upper body of the Jurchen soldiers exposed outside the city wall is much smaller than the whole body, but they are almost motionless, just like the targets of the Ming army during practice. In addition, there are too many of the Ming army, and more than half of the Jurchen soldiers have been shot.
The wounded Jurchen soldier yelled and fell to the top of the city, and then rolled from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. The uninjured soldier continued to use the parapet as the cover to estimate the range of the bow and arrow.
The flintlocks kept shooting towards the city head until the Jurchen soldiers were no longer visible at the city head.
Li Changshan did not immediately issue the order to siege the city. He waited until the afternoon, but there were still no Jurchen soldiers showing up. It happened that the soldiers had already built three simple ladders and brought them over.
"Start siege!"
The ladder leaned on the city wall, and there were only a dozen soldiers who climbed the ladder. Most of the soldiers still pointed their flintlocks at the city head and waited for the Jurchen soldiers to appear.
There have been no Jurchen soldiers on the top of the city. The Ming army has already climbed up the ladder.
"Whizzing."
Several Jurchen soldiers close to the city wall shot out their bows and arrows, and the three Ming soldiers who climbed to the top of the city immediately fell down.
But the arrow revealed the position of the Jurchen soldiers, and the Ming army on the ladder began to fight back with flintlock guns.
The three soldiers at the top of the ladder had no time to load ammunition after they finished shooting. They just exchanged flintlock guns with the soldiers behind.
The two sides fought fiercely at the head of the city for half of the time, and several soldiers each fell.
More and more Ming troops climbed the ladder, and fewer and fewer Jurchen soldiers had to retreat to the city.
The Ming army took advantage of the situation and occupied the city to cover the soldiers behind to enter the city, but the Jurchen soldiers had already run out of sight.
The Ming army who had attacked the head of the city did not pursue it. They first opened the southern city gate and put all the soldiers outside the city into the city. A large number of Ming army entered the city, and there was no worries about where these Jurchen soldiers could hide.
If the Jurchen soldiers abandon the city and flee, the Ming army will not worry. To the west of Fuzhou City is the sea, and to the northeast and southeast, there are ambushes from a division of the Ming army. These Jurchen soldiers are not a fish in the net.
Li Changshan also followed the soldiers into the city. He divided the soldiers into nearly one hundred companies in groups of one hundred, and searched for the single Jurchen soldiers in the city.
By the time of dinner, the city was quiet. According to the number of casualties of Jurchen soldiers, five Jurchen soldiers fled. It seems that one can only count on the ambush outside the city.
More than 400 war horses were seized in the city, plus more than 700 war horses seized outside the city and gathered in the Golden State. The First Marine Division is equipped with two cavalry battalions.
The next morning, the Dongjiang Army on Changsheng Island began to enter the city of Fuzhou. Although the number was less than 100, they were dressed in refreshing clothes and equipped with Jurchen's scimitars. They were also an army that should not be underestimated.
"Master Li, how did you eliminate Jiannu in the first battle?" Dongjiang Army looked at Chief Liu Yue with envy, and he also reached out and touched the flintlock of the First Marine Division: "Is it relying on this kind of firearm?"
"Yes," Li Changshan laughed, "but it's not all. The key is that the soldiers have a certain confidence in victory."
"Master Li, can you give us some flintlock guns?"
"I can't give it to you now. We will pack lightly. The guns we carry are very limited. We only have one gun. Besides, you don't have ammunition supplies and can't use it." Naturally, Li Changshan would not let his soldiers go to Jurchen empty-handed. soldier.
"Oh." Liu Yue did not hide the disappointment in his eyes, he hehe laughed, "When will we have a flintlock, it will be fine, and Jianu will not be allowed to drive us to the island."
"Liu Ba, don't worry, the building of slaves will not be rampant for too long. Liaodong will all return to Daming." Li Changshan knew that Zhu Youjian and Yuan Chonghuan were both in the Northern Expedition. "You quickly send someone to inform General Mao and let him cooperate. We launched a counterattack in Liaodong."
"Yes, Master Li, we sent someone to see General Mao overnight."
"President Liu, we have to expedition to the north. This city of Fuzhou will be handed over to you for the time being. I hope you can guard this city well and never fall into the hands of Jian slaves again."
"Master Li can rest assured that we will let General Mao send troops as soon as possible and guard every inch of Daming's land."
The Marine Corps rested in Fuzhou City for a long time. After lunch, the three Marine Divisions left Fuzhou City in turn. Under the guidance of Dongjiang Army soldiers, they went straight to Yongning City to the north.
This time, the Li Changshan department surrounded the North City Gate, the Jiang Kaiping department surrounded the east, and the Lin Fucheng department was in charge of the south and west.
When dawn broke, the Jurchen soldiers in Yongning City found that they had been heavily surrounded by the Ming army, and they had completely lost contact with the outside of the city.
History once again made a joke. The Ming army, who was good at defending the city, was now on the siege side, while the Jurchen soldiers who were good at long-distance raids and field decisive battles could only shrink the city of Yongning.
Outside the four city gates, there were gunmen from the Ming army, but they just advanced to a distance of about a hundred steps from the city wall.
The Jurchen soldiers on the front of the city were very sorry. If the Ming army took another thirty or forty steps, they would have entered the range of their bows and arrows. The bows and arrows in their hands would have been aimed long ago. As long as the Ming troops were in range, these bows would Will shoot at the Ming army under the city without hesitation.
The Jurchen soldiers looked through the crevices of the city wall and found that the Ming army was using something like a fire stick and pointed it at the city, probably a musket.
"Bang, bang..."
The flintlock bullets went up to the top of the city from the duo ****. The Jurchen soldier whose head was exposed from the duo's mouth just now burst into blood and fell to the ground screaming.
More bullets flew over the parapet wall. They formed a firepower net and pushed it almost horizontally. All the soldiers who craned their necks to look down the city were hit by bullets.
There was a wailing sound on the top of the city, and the soldiers who were rolling on their chests hugged their faces, causing the city to be messed up.
There were no wounded soldiers, and they couldn't figure out what was going on. From time to time, someone poked out from the crenels and saw a large number of Ming troops under the city. They finally understood the cause of the soldiers' casualties.
Curiosity hurts people!
The Jurchen soldiers, when they figured out the cause of the casualties on the city, they were also included in the casualty group.
Some smart Jurchen soldiers have been defending against the wall. Fortunately, none of them have been shot.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The other three city gates continued to hear the sound of flintlock guns, dense and terrifying.
From the perspective of the Jurchen soldiers, the Ming army was crazy. Starting from the early morning, the four city gates had intensive gunshots, regardless of priority. What exactly was the Ming army going to do? Are they going to break the city in a battle
However, the Jurchen soldiers had learned well. When they stayed at the top of the city, they would never look down the city anymore. Anyway, the Ming army was outside the city, and they like to toss and toss.
When they were clearing the city head, they couldn't help being shocked: The total number of soldiers in the four city heads, southeast, northwest, and dead, totaled more than 400.
There were only three Niu Lu in the city, 900 people, and they lost nearly half of them this morning. Among the four hundred casualties, most of the wounded were wounded, but the Jurchens did not have the medicine or method to treat gunshot wounds. As long as the wounds were in the vital position, they would heat up and die sooner or later. Right now, these wounded soldiers have lost their ability to defend the city.
Shocking, quietly passed on among the Jurchen soldiers!
The sound of flintlocks still came from under the city from time to time, even at night. Most of the time, it was the Ming army who vented and did not cause any substantial harm to the Jurchen soldiers.
The Jurchen soldiers no longer wanted to show their faces from the battlements.
If they do not show up, there will be sporadic Ming army soldiers approaching the city wall. Although the Ming army does not carry siege equipment such as ladder ropes, their approach is a threat to the Jurchens.
Uncertain threats are more terrifying than certain threats.
Just like a beautiful woman in a bikini, lying on an unfamiliar beach and sunbathing, an unkind man with sunglasses, spinning around from time to time, do you know what his goal is
Robbery? Robbery
Maybe his target is the liver, kidney, and cornea.
To drive away the Ming army under the city wall with bows and arrows, the Jurchen soldiers had to lean out and observe the position of the Ming army.
Surrounded by flintlocks, it is extremely dangerous to stick out. The Jurchen soldiers realized after dozens of casualties: These soldiers are the bait of the Ming army, and they are attracted to the bait!
Cunning Han!
The Jurchen soldiers directly ignored the Ming army under the city, as long as they did not carry the siege equipment, they tossed as they please.
The East has faintly appeared white, but the darkness seemed to be unwilling to fail, and it swallowed this little twilight in an instant. It was not until the dawn officially came that the darkness officially faded.
It was dark before dawn!
The defenders on the front of the city are not surprised, they yawn lazily: it's time to change the guard, they just go back to sleep.
A few flintlocks, sparsely fired a few shots at the head of the city, sluggish like a routine.
At that moment when darkness struck, several Ming army soldiers, carrying two huge "ten thousand enemies", quietly approached the northern city gate, and they leaned the "ten thousand enemies" against the city gate. Hold it down with a stone, then pull out the lead wire, and go around the outside of the city gate.
