#1362 quick victory
Those who went to the two wings were driven back, and the Jianzhou formation that originally protruded forward was flattened, and then dented again. When the Zhao Jiajun's more than 400 muskets and the main line were leveled, they could directly face them.
Cross fire from the front, and every lead bullet will hit the enemy.
The fire cannons opened fire, the Jianzhou Jurchens retreated, and the spear company moved forward. The two sides fought and fought. The loaded fire cannons followed up and fired again.
People kept screaming and falling down, and people kept falling down and letting out pitiful screams. The corpses on the ground could even trip up companions and enemies. The screams and wails could overwhelm the shouts, and there were constant sounds of firecrackers.
When the artillerymen on the sampan came ashore again and ran towards the artillery with the tools for firing, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses wanted to destroy the artillery, but as soon as they made contact, they were beaten back by the Zhao Jiajun's spear formation, and they couldn't care less.
.
The artillery was simply adjusted, quickly loaded and fired, the sound of cannons sounded, and this wave of offensive was over.
The Jurchen soldiers in Jianzhou are indeed strong. They are wild and untamed. They were born in the bitter cold White Mountains and Black Waters. They fight to the death with the Mongols and the savage Jurchens all the year round. They even formed an organization because of fishing and hunting. But they are human beings after all, and they cannot withstand excessive pressure.
Casualties, when no possibility of victory is in sight
The sound of artillery was a reminder that the Jianzhou Jurchen officers and soldiers who were still holding on realized that this wave of offensive had failed. Instead of shaking the "thin" formation of the reinforcements, they paid heavy casualties.
After calming down, everyone in Jianzhou suddenly realized something. They rushed over, but the other side passively accepted the fight. As the battle progressed, instead of advancing on the battlefield, they were beaten back. The square formation of Zhao Jiajun was like a roller.
Everything in front of him was shattered, and the people in front had already seen corpses and injured people in great pain everywhere.
If the enemy had the same casualties, then the battle would still be worth continuing, but you could hardly see the fallen people on the other side. The soldiers in the front row of Zhao Jiajun all wore face shields, and everyone wore heavy armor with similar specifications.
, the spears and halberds are pointed forward, and the steps are uniform. This is simply an iron wall. It is simply indestructible. Now I have been hit on it and my head is broken and bloody.
The casualties in the fight are not terrible, but the terrible thing is that it has no effect to keep going to death. This Jianzhou Jurchen army finally tasted the power of firearms. It turns out that firearms have such power, and fire blunderbuss can break thick cotton armor and armor.
The chainmail was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and the artillery was simply unable to defend itself, and it hit hard and fast.
My original impression of firearms only came from the Ming Army. The Ming Army's artillery was powerful but fired slowly, and its impact point was almost fixed. As long as you pay attention to dodge, there was no serious harm. However, the soldiers and horses landing now are completely different.
Compared with theirs, the firearms of the Ming army were like the firecrackers set off during the New Year, and they were really not worth mentioning.
Guns were fired in front, people kept falling down, and shells landed behind them, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The closer the Jianzhou soldiers were to the front, the harder they could hold on. If they didn't move away, people would be trapped and die here.
The voices of the counselors and lieutenants shouting to supervise the battle also began to decrease. Their bannermen are their capital. If they continue to be consumed like this, will they be able to replenish them in the future? Now all the Belles are taking their power into their own hands.
, even if they search the mountains and seas to capture savages to replenish them, they will not let them into their own hands.
The soldiers below thought simply, they didn’t want to die, and they didn’t want to fight this kind of hopeless battle. If their family members were killed and injured in the battle, and the battle was victorious, their family members would be taken care of to some extent, and they would also share the spoils. If they died in such a battle,
There is no benefit at all here.
After figuring this out and no longer urging them so urgently, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers began to panic and fear. Finally, some of them couldn't stand it any longer, dropped their weapons and ran away. They were always victorious and had no rivals until this moment.
At that time, Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers discovered that they could escape. One person ran away, some blocked him, some tried to escape, but the sound of cannons shattered everyone's thoughts.
More and more people turned around and fled, and the Jianzhou Jurchen formation began to collapse, completely collapse. Fortunately, the formation was not so dense when they rushed over, and they did not cause trampling and cannibalism when they retreated.
But a collapse is a collapse, and every roar of artillery behind them makes the collapse more complete. The shells still fall into the crowd, and the team running behind is even hit by a fire cannon.
Zhuang Liu led each company and did not continue to pursue, but just set up defense within a certain range. The Liaodong guides were a little dizzy, thinking that seeing the opponent defeated before their eyes, you did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but took your time in
Are there any of you who are fighting like this when digging holes and filling them with soil?
These people who were born in Liaodong have seen too many victories of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and too many collapses of the Ming army. From a big defeat to first victory and then defeat, from the majestic mountains and rivers at the beginning to the embarrassed escape later, because they have seen too much, they are not familiar with it.
I don't have any confidence in the victory in front of me. I always feel that I have to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill more Jurchen soldiers. Only by killing them all can I completely establish the victory. Otherwise, I will not be able to feel at ease.
"How can these Tatars be any stronger than the Ming army?"
"We fought with the Ming army and the bandits, and it seems that we fought in this way. Why do others say that the Tatars are so strong?"
“Perhaps it’s not the main force of the Tatars who came?”
The Zhao Jiajun landing soldiers who had just experienced a fierce battle were not excited. After cheering a few times, they began to set up their positions, and they were still very hard and busy, digging trenches and building walls, sweating profusely. This move also made the guides stunned. If it were the former officials.
How could the army do this? They directly captured civilian husbands to do the work. This matter of arresting men even forced many people to defect to the Jurchen side.
Zhuang Liu did not miss this victory battlefield. The enemy troops here have been eliminated. The next thing to do is to clean up the Jinzhou Port. Although the docks and berths there are also very crude and crude, after all, they are more suitable than this tidal flat.
After landing and unloading, the most important thing now is to get the large troops over.
"Second Master is here!" Someone said to Zhuang Liu. Those who could call out "Second Master" were those who were company commander or above in the First Brigade. They were all called like this back then.
Zhuang Liu arranged for several companies to take over the nearby ports and led his people to greet them.
Chen Sheng also took a sampan to land. When he arrived near the beach, he also jumped into the sea and advanced to the shore with a halberd. After leaving the sea, his guards helped him wipe himself and put on his armor directly.
"Shi Zheng shouldn't have come up at this time. We have to wait until the port is cleared," Zhuang Liu stepped forward and said.
Chen Sheng kept looking at the battlefield in the distance. He waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Zhuang Liu and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not a three-year-old. You gather your regiment and fight with artillery."
When we drove them away from the Tatar camp, they thought it was just a show, and if they couldn't defeat them, they went back to the camp to rest?"
"It's a pity that the knights didn't follow. If we fight the Tatars like this, we can win, but we can't expand the results." Zhuang Liu said casually after accepting the order.
"First stop here in Jinzhou and open up the sea route between Dengzhou and here. There is no need to think too much about other things." Chen Sheng said.
Zhuang Liu over there agreed, turned around and ran towards his regiment. After only two steps, he was stopped by Chen Sheng, who warned again: "Be careful of the Ming army in Jinzhou City, they are not on the same side as us."
Zhuang Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said: "Master, please rest assured, I know who is one of my own and who is the enemy."
More and more companies gathered on the beach. The soldiers helped each other put on their armor. The fire gun soldiers also arranged their equipment, lit the match rope in the brazier, and then walked forward quickly with the fire gun.
Chen Sheng walked forward surrounded by everyone. On one side of the pier, the Jianzhou Jurchen defenders had retreated hastily. They also knew that the berth of the pier was extremely important. Holding it here could prevent reinforcements from coming ashore, but the entire group had been beaten and retreated. , how can they still withstand it?
Ships have already begun to enter the berth, and the sailors have already gone to the pier in advance and are tying ropes to the stone piles of the pier. When the ships dock, the larger artillery can be unloaded.
When the fully-established Second Regiment of the First Brigade appeared at the foot of Jinzhou City, the Jianzhou Jurchen camp could no longer be maintained. The fortifications and camps they built with earth and wood could not withstand artillery bombardment. What's more, now, the Second Regiment led More than a dozen artillery pieces arrived.
The Jianzhou Jurchen team only settled in the camp for a moment, and immediately the whole army evacuated to the north. They found that these reinforcements from the sea were not moving fast and could not pursue them. At this time, they did not care about any heavy equipment, and even It was too late to set fire, and shells kept falling into the camp. No one could care about so many. The generals and cavalry left first, and the infantry followed, and soon they were all gone.
Zhuang Liu did not let the second regiment pursue the pursuit. Without cavalry, the pursuit and killing effect was very average. Moreover, the most important thing now was to maintain the security near Jinzhou.
There were already people standing at the top of Jinzhou City, and it was even a little crowded. Everyone was looking to the west, wanting to see the battle going on.
When the large group of Jianzhou Jurchens rushed forward, there was a sigh at the top of the city. Some people even complained that these country tycoons did not know how to use troops. The seaside is so cramped and narrow, and there is no room for maneuver when fighting the Tatars there. Do you want to learn what to do? Survive the odds?
Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan gave a series of orders, telling the Jinzhou defenders to open the city gate as soon as possible. No matter whether it was dangerous or not, they must do their best to contain the Tartar army so that the reinforcements could gain a foothold on the sea. The city gate had already been opened. It was completely stuffed and blocked, and it took a lot of time to dig it out.
Chapter completed!
