Chapter 313: Sweeping
As large-caliber shells fell from the sky, thousands of Tartars in the north and south directions under the city of Arthur suddenly fell into dire straits. It was only at this time that the tartar, who had just been blown up, woke up from his sluggish state.
They began to run in all directions, shells falling one after another, each explosion taking the lives of dozens of Tartars. In just a short period of time, the city of Arthur was full of tartar corpses.
But with the addition of six 82-mm mortars with an extremely fast rate of fire, the density of shells increased again, and even the Tartar army was plowed by artillery fire. The lost Tartars scattered and fled, they could no longer tell the direction, and they just wanted to leave the place as much as possible.
Ao Bai was shocked by a violent explosion, and he was a little deaf. He stumbled around, fell a dozen heels, and didn't know where to run. can only follow the panicked crowd, scurrying around.
At this time, a Tartar rode over on a war horse, and he was holding an unridden war horse in his hand, and he was shouting loudly in front of Aobai, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was Ilde. He is also looking for Aobai everywhere, after all, Aobai's father left him in his own care, so he has to take this kid out.
When Ao Bai saw Ilde, he was also excited. He hurriedly rushed over. There was a loud "boom". In the distance, Ilder and the two horses were blown up and flew high, and Ilde's corpse was scattered into pieces and fell everywhere.
With a "poof", Ao Bai was also pushed back a few steps by the huge shock wave, and sat on the ground. His eyes glazed over as he stared at the corpses that had been blown into several pieces in the distance, and his soul flew with fright.
As soon as the cannon sounded, Yue Tuo and a group of Tartars in the distance were already stupid, and they looked at the city of Lushun blankly, all stunned by this terrifying scene.
"Where...... Where is the fighting*, go quickly...... Let's go and see, where is the hit*? ”
As more shells fell, the Tartars under the city of Arthur had already blown up the battalion. The brave and fierce Tartars in the past are like a group of lost dogs at this moment, running around endlessly, and they can't care about anything, even the Tartars here in Yue Tuoshuaiqi are messed up.
A personal attendant pulled Yue Tuo and shouted loudly: "Master, withdraw...... It doesn't matter where it's hit*, it's too late if you don't leave. ”
"Uh......h Boom ......"
An 82-mm mortar shell emitted a piercing whistling sound, whistling down from the sky, and exploded not far from Yue Tuo's side. The person who pulled him was instantly cut off in half by a piece of shrapnel, which scared Yue Tuo to sit on the ground.
A few relatives and white-armored guards hurriedly ran over to pull Yue Tuo up, grabbed a few war horses that had been frightened and ran around, mounted their horses and fled to the north.
As soon as the first round of artillery fire fell, Li Ming turned around and waved his hand, shouting: "Attack ......"
After he finished shouting, he crossed the dirt slope with the main attacking force, and the troops behind him also scattered in a skirmish line, lined up in a long horizontal line.
Walked in the direction of Arthur City.
As soon as Li Ming crossed the dirt slope, a group of panicked Tartars ran across the opposite side. Li Ming picked up the AK74 rifle and slammed the trigger at the opposite Tartar, he chose a single-shot state, the distance was less than 100 meters, and the Tartars running scattered were named by him one by one. A few War Department soldiers who had just followed also joined in with their guns, and dozens of Tartars were killed one after another.
As soon as the Tartars had been killed, more Tartars rushed in the opposite direction, several hundred of them, including some Tartars on horseback. Several machine gunners in the front row of the line opened fire.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
Several PK machine guns spewed tongues of fire, and countless hot bullets were like a rain of bullets, scattering hundreds of Tartars in all directions. With more than 100 AK74 automatic rifles on board, hundreds of Tartars were killed on the spot.
"Get on the bayonet, clear the battlefield, don't take prisoners...... Don't take prisoners ......"
The two battalions of the overseas legions and pirates, armed with muskets with bayonets loaded, ran up one after another, mending some wounded and undead Tartars with bayonets, and gathering up a dozen or so war horses that were running around.
Li Ming continued to walk forward with his rifle, eliminating more than a hundred Tartars running around along the way. Most of the Tartars had recovered their senses after a moment of confusion and began to flee north.
At this time, the artillery fire of the Combined Fleet, under the command of the distant artillery observation group, began to extend northward, chasing a large group of fleeing Tartars, and the Tartars were also covered with scattered corpses on the way to escape.
Liu Xingzhi was in a water village near the dock next to Lushun, and the Tartars had been attacking Lushun like crazy in the past few days, he just sent a firearms unit, and he didn't want his men to die. He didn't do anything else these days, and every day he tried his best to recruit the officers and soldiers of the sailors in Lushun. If he wants to establish the sea kingdom of Dongjiang Town, it is not enough to rely on those rebels in his hands.
When the cannon sounded, he was persuading a group of Dongjiang generals to surrender. But the earth-shattering loud noise frightened him. When he rushed out of the house, he saw the continuous explosions under the city of Arthur in the distance, blowing up the Tartars in all directions.
The power of this kind of artillery made Liu Xingzhi violently shake his spirit, and he knew that those overseas people from Ocean Island were coming. Thinking of this, he shouted to the rebels in the water village, "Get on board...... Get on the boat and leave Lushun, hurry up......"
Liu Xingzhi knew in his heart that although Lushunkou was a good place, it was also a dead place, and once people sealed Lushunkou, they would have to throw hundreds of boats here, and none of them would want to escape.
The Dongjiang rebels in the water village heard Liu Xingzhi's words and hurriedly ran towards the dock. But at this time, the two landing craft drove into the mouth of Arthur, and several PK machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired wildly, beating the rebels in Dongjiang Town, who were in chaos on the dock, all over the field.
As soon as many rebels jumped onto the ship, they were beaten into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets, and the Dongjiang rebels gathered on the dock immediately scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions.
Liu Xingzhi stared at the two landing craft on the sea, feeling discouraged. He knew that his dream of a kingdom on the sea had been shattered, and it was all over.
Several pro-soldiers dragged Liu Xingzhi to death, hoping to pull him away, but he shook off a few pro-soldiers and yelled hysterically: "I don't go, rush out, staying here is a dead end, we ......"
With a "bang ......", Liu Xingzhi's body, who was yelling, suddenly broke into two, and the two broken bodies fell to the dock. He was hit by a 12.7mm bullet and died no more.
Two landing craft docked, and a platoon of the Admiralty and two companies of the Overseas Corps rushed to the pier. Liu Xingzhi's death made the rebels in Dongjiang Town lose their backbone at once, and they knelt on the ground and surrendered.
The artillery fire continued to extend to the north, and the city of Lushun became quiet, and the Ming troops lying under the female wall at the head of the city all got up from the ground. When the first wave of shells fell just now, they subconsciously hidden. With a series of violent explosions, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Huanglong was born in the Guanning Army, and during the Ningjin War, the Ming army had thousands of firearms, but they were not as loud as the cannon just now. Fortunately, they have been bombed a lot these days, and they will hide in the event of shelling, so the shelling just now did not hurt them.
Several sections of the female wall had collapsed, and one of them looked as if it had been cut with a knife. Huang Long glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If they were still standing, the point would have been cut in half.
Huang Long shook his head and turned his head to look down at the city. It didn't matter at first glance, it almost scared him to death. The ground beneath the city looked as if it had been turned over, and there were mutilated corpses everywhere. Broken blood, broken flags, and scattered cloud carts were all over the city of Lushun, and the originally continuous Tartar military camp was empty at this time.
Although Lushun City was saved, there was no trace of excitement in the hearts of Huanglong and those Ming soldiers. They were all terrified now, stunned by the hellish scene under the city.
Li Ming took the main attack force and also walked to the city of Lushun, and the two battalions of the overseas corps, holding muskets with bayonets, continued to mend the dead Tartars all the way.
Huang Long and a group of Ming soldiers who had escaped death stared blankly at the Far Eastern Army walking under the city, and they didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere. Li Weiluan and Tan Yinghua walked to his side at some point.
"My lord, what are these people?"
Huang Long glanced back at them, sighed, and said, "It should be those overseas people from Ocean Island." They have been on Ocean Island for two years, but there has been no change, except that when Dongjiang Town cut off their salaries, they saved more than 100,000 Liao people who were about to starve to death. Since I took office, I've been reminded many times not to touch them.
Alas...... Now they're finally going to reach out to Dongjiang Town. As you saw just now, such a powerful firepower, not to mention our Dongjiang, even if the Guanning army came, it was not their opponent. ”
Tan Yinghua said in a deep voice: "They don't have to fight, as long as they shout, our soldiers may not even have the courage to fight back." That's a. ”
Li Weiluan said with a gloomy face: "No matter what, people killed so many Tartars and saved our lives, they want Lushun, just give them to them." ”
Huang Long turned his head and stared at Li Weiluan for a while, then finally sighed, shook his head and said, "We are the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, we can't let them take Lushun away in our hands." ”
Even he felt unconfident in saying this. If these overseas people wanted to attack the city, even if he ordered the Ming army at the head of the city to defend the city, no one would listen to him. Who dares to fight with these people, if this makes the family shoot a few shots, Lushun may be gone. (Want to know more exciting news about "Far East 1628"?)
