Chapter 417 Dagukou
Yao Daniu's cry immediately broke the tranquility of the fort. When several rotating soldiers also saw clearly the appearance of the coming ship, everyone was scared.
"Xiao Lu, what are you doing?" Xiao Lu, who woke Yao Daniu up, was about to run back in a panic, but was grabbed by Yao Daniu.
"I...I'll move the shells..."
"Turn you!" Yao Daniu slapped him: "Just relying on these grandpa's cannons? You guys are dreaming!"
"Then...what should I do?" Among all the people, Yao Daniu was the only gunner, and of course everyone listened to him at this time.
"What should I do? Run!" Yao Daniu shouted, "Is it still waiting to die? I can run as far as I can. If I can't run, I will be gone!" After that, Yao Daniu ran away, and didn't even want the knife placed beside the brick, so he ran down the fort.
When Yao Daniu ran like this, how could everyone stand stupidly? He followed Yao Daniu and ran hard. On the way, someone asked Yao Daniu if he wanted to notify his brothers in the forest. Yao Daniu glared at him and said that he would not go there.
The powerful enemy attacked and escaped privately. What if the nerves of the foreign committee, General Qian, were not in line with military law, could this little life be achieved? Even if they were asked to go back and stay at their posts, wouldn’t this be a death sentence? Looking at the warships covered with the vast surface of the Haihe River, Dagukou would definitely not be able to defend it. There are so many ships and so many people, and one person urinated, flooding them all.
As it made sense, everyone immediately kept silent and stopped mentioning this matter. They ran down the pedal and took advantage of the opportunity that the foreign committee member General Qian and his friends were gambled in the forest to run directly towards the inland from the other road.
When Yao Daniu and the others ran, there was no one in the fortress. In just half an hour, the Ming Navy's warships arrived at the range of the Dagukou Fortress, but the North and South Fortresses did not react at all. It seemed that the situation between the South Fortress and the North Fortress should be quite the same.
The Qing army did not respond, which did not mean that the Ming army did not move. With a command, the warships in front of them set off a fighting posture, and the open gun door was pushed out one by one, and the black muzzle was aimed at the cannons on both sides.
The moment the order to fire the gun was issued, the warship began to fire at the turret, and the deafening sound of the cannon broke the calm. The powerful new naval cannon roared in the flames, and the cannons with powerful kinetic energy flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the turret like raindrops.
"Thunder?"
The foreign committee member Qian, who was happily gambling, was suddenly stunned and looked up at the sky. He saw that the sun was still shining brightly in the sky. He touched his head and didn't feel any raindrops falling. But, it is normal for this summer and autumn to get a bolt from the blue. Is it going to rain today?
While wondering, the rumbling sound was one after another, and then the earth began to shake. The foreign committee member Qian and his subordinates were all stunned for a while before they realized that this was not a thunder, it was clearly a cannon.
When they realized that they were shooting artillery, everyone hurriedly came out of the forest and looked towards the turret not far away. They saw that the turret was filled with smoke everywhere. The cannons shot from the sea cut through the sky with a sharp roar.
"Big... Sir... What's going on? Where did the cannon come from?" Lu Wu was so scared that he asked with his tongue.
The Foreign Minister Qian also wanted to ask this question. Just as he was about to assign someone to go to the front to look carefully, a missed cannon flew towards them. Although the runner could clearly see the trajectory of the flight, its speed was actually gone in a flash. Before everyone could react, the cannon fell down and a burst of exclamations fell down several nearby trees. It was a little far away. If it hit them in the crowd, all of them would not survive.
"My mother... run!" The foreign minister Qian's official shouted in horror, turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest. When his subordinates saw that all the officials had run away, they would still be foolish. They immediately rushed to run with the superiors, and in a blink of an eye, they all ran away and no one was left.
The Ming army at the sea shelled Dagukou as planned. After a few strokes, they found that the Qing army had no reaction at all. The warship commander was puzzled and immediately passed the news to Wang Dong, who was in charge of the landing battle later.
After learning about it, Wang Dong thought for a moment and immediately ordered the volley of warships to be temporarily suspended. In addition to separating several ships to monitor and attacking the artillery in a small range accurately to ensure continuous firepower, the other warships are temporarily on standby, and then sending a landing ship to send a unit to land and see the situation.
The Ming Navy's transport ship was an improved treasure ship. A ship can carry more than 1,000 soldiers. Of course, it is impossible for such a large ship to land directly on the dock, so when landing, a small shore rushing ship will land.
This small shore rushing ship is built based on the structure of a sand ship. Its shape is somewhat similar to the later rushing ships. Each ship can transport about thirty people. The main power is to rely on manpower rowing. Since the bottom of the ship is flat and the draft is shallow, it can directly rush to the beach, which is the most suitable as a landing ship.
Soon, dozens of shore-rushing ships set off with the first batch of soldiers. In a short while, these small ships approached the coast, and the Qing army at Dagukou still had no reaction at all.
After more than half an hour, when the first batch of landing soldiers sent back the news, Wang Dong learned that the Qing army defenders on the north and south sides of Dagukou had disappeared from the beginning. The entire fort, including the camp below, did not even see half a figure. This Dagukou was an empty camp with no defense at all.
"Mom Xipi!" Wang Dong couldn't help but curse, "I wasted so many shells from my grandfather, these clear dogs were running fast! I didn't even leave any hairs. Could it be that the soles of my feet were covered with oil?"
"Master, what's the matter now?" the deputy general next to him couldn't help asking.
"What a f*ck!" Wang Dong cursed: "You kid don't have a brain? Why don't you let the troops land in full immediately? All this person has run away, so why don't you take advantage of both sides first!"
The deputy general immediately said awkwardly, it was not that he was not smart enough, but the key was that no one expected that Dagu was known as the gateway of Tianjin Guard. Even if the Qing army did not fight, they would have to fight a few times, right? Who would have thought that the Qing army would run away without fighting, and he had never fought this kind of battle.
Just as he was about to go down to pass the order, Wang Dong suddenly called him again.
"By the way, I'll send an order to Zhang Zhao and tell him to quickly lead the team to attack Tianjin Wei directly after assembly, and not to delay for a moment. Dagukou was taken too quickly, and it must be fought before Tianjin Wei can react. If it is too late, there will be no chance."
"Yes!" The deputy general got the order and ran out hurriedly.
The battle in Dagukou was almost an exercise for the Ming army. After the Ming army, which had not suffered any resistance, landed, it occupied two forts first to control the commanding heights. Then the Ming army began to land on a large scale. Without the interference of the Qing army, the landing speed was extremely fast. After more than an hour, the landing Ming army reached about 5,000 people. At this time, Zhang Zhao, who had already set foot on the land, began to assemble troops, organize his luggage, and quickly dispatched troops to the Tianjin Guards according to Wang Dong's order.
Among these 5,000 people, there were the first batch of 600 troops landed, and more than 4,000 were the new army of two regiments. Although the new army was not a whole regiment, the organization was still complete according to the battalions. In addition, as the direct commander of the army, there was no problem in commanding these troops. The new army was different from other troops, with complete training and effective organization, and a quick attack was launched with one order.
When the Ming army landed at Dagukou, Yao Daniu and the guys who took the lead in running away were almost running to Tianjin Guard. At this time, these guys had already thrown away all the weapons they were carrying, and even took off their coats.
This is not because they were too tired to run away. After all, they became deserters. If they still wear voyeurs, they would definitely be troublesome if they entered the city in a number jacket. If they might encounter an unreasonable official arrested them on the spot, they would die of unjust death.
There is no way to run to Tianjin Wei. The closest place to Dagukou is Tianjin Wei. No matter how far away they are, they are all stationed in various battalions. They can’t run to each battalion to join the Internet? As for the distance, they can’t run on their legs. This Tianjin Wei is different. Tianjin Wei is a city with a city wall, a defense, and a garrison. More importantly, there are many ordinary people in the city. After entering Tianjin Wei, they go into the crowd of ordinary people and then take a look at the situation.
If the Qing army blocked the Ming army in Tianjin Guards, they could take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city and return to the team. If they couldn't stop it, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, the number jacket had already been taken off, and it would be better to pretend to be the common people in the city than to lose their lives in vain.
The facts were almost the same as Yao Daniu thought. When they arrived in Dongcheng, the Tianjin Wei was still as strange as before. After all, Dagukou was still a little far from the Tianjin Wei. Although this cannon was very powerful, the Tianjin Wei could not hear clearly if he didn't pay attention.
When they entered the city, Yao Daniu and his men pretended to be ordinary people and drilled in their heads. After passing the city gate, no one came to interrogate. This made Yao Daniu feel relieved. When he was about to leave the city gate, who would have thought that he would be suddenly stopped by a man.
"Hey! You kid, stop!"
"Bad vegetables!" Yao Daniu was shocked, and the sweat on his face was like a stream, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
In a blink of an eye, the boss walked forward, first looked at him, then smiled and said, "You guy is very kind-faced? Where is it?"
"Back... Go back to Jun Ye, I am from the front village."
"Why are you from Qianmeng Village? Why are you here in Tianjin Harbour?"
"Discover... to visit relatives..." Yao Daniu swallowed and said, "My third uncle lives in the city. I have been sick these days. My father specifically asked me to come and see..."
"Why are you sweating so much?" asked Mr. Bar with a smile.
"This... is anxious... it's hot... it's sweating a little more..." Yao Daniu only felt that he wanted to pee, and he replied with a hard time, hard work and hard.
He looked at Yao Daniu with his eyes squinted. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, go."
"Oh, thank you Jun, thank you Jun..." Just as Yao Daniu felt that he was about to be exposed by the other party, who thought that the other party would let him go? After being overjoyed, Yao Daniu hurriedly thanked him and then quickly left.
