Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 190

Half of the twenty rockets were incendiary bombs, and the Dutch ghost's galleon didn't even survive the first round of blows.

The entire ship was submerged in the smoke from the explosion, and a raging fire soon ignited. The gunpowder exploded in less than 10 minutes, and it sank to the bottom of the sea in only half an hour.

After the Dafu boat approached, only a dozen or so were caught in time. The lucky ones who were blown off the boat by rockets at first were either killed or burned to death.

With the Dutch ghost as an example, no pirates dared to attack the route from Dengzhou to Jinzhou, and Bohai was completely controlled by the Legislative Army.

The navy of the Legislative Army was also greatly encouraged and began to try to march towards North Korea.

When the incident spread to the south of the Yangtze River, some big pirates also tried to go to Dengzhou to purchase supplies, but Dengzhou only received grain and did not sell it, which frustrated their desire to use Dengzhou as a supply point.

Taking Wei Zhongxian's post, the craftsmen invited from Nanjing Treasure Shipyard also arrived in Dengzhou, and then set up a shipyard for them in Jiaozhou, let these craftsmen account for half of the shares in the shipyard, and gave them start-up funds, and strived for them to be able to reproduce thousands of ships. Tons of treasure ships come.

In June, after completing the preliminary recruit training, the newly trained troops will be added to Kaiyuan and Tieling.

Zhang Zongxian led six cavalry brigades and three infantry brigades to march from Tieling to Saerhu. The reason why he wanted to march into Saarhu was to fight a battle and give an explanation to the people of Liaodong. Otherwise, how could the people leave the city with peace of mind? farming,

Destroying the Jiefan City near Saerhu blocked Jiannu's westward attack channel, and it was also to collect the remains of Grand Master Du and the others, and did not want them to continue to die in the wilderness.

After the army crossed the Hun River and set up a camp at the place where Du Taishi died, after offering sacrifices to Du Taishi and the sacrificed Ming army soldiers, he began to prepare to attack Tiebei Mountain where Jiefan City is located.

Tiebei Mountain is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. It is a long and narrow "peninsula" from east to west.

Jiefan City was built on the peninsula because of the momentum of the mountain.The city was built along the long and narrow ridge of Tiebei Mountain. The two saddles (gaps) on the east and west of the ridge divided the city into three parts.

The three cities are not only connected with each other, but also independent of each other.Because the main city of Tiebei Mountain is steep from north to south, the east and west ends become the focus of defense, and the east and west acropolis play the role of protecting the main city from the two wings.

The main city occupies the entire ridge in the middle of Tiebei Mountain, and the north and south sides are cliffs facing the water.

What Grand Master Du thought at the beginning was to take down Jiefan City first, stabilize the back road, and then take Hetuala.

For such a fortified city with dangerous terrain, Zhang Zongxian mobilized [-] rockets to capture the city with absolute firepower.

Originally, Wild Boar Pi was going to build a palace in Jiefan City, but it was delayed because Tieling had not been captured. Now that the Ming army attacked Jiefan City, Wild Boar Pi broke out in a cold sweat .

In the past, all kinds of fine works of wild boar skin were spread all over Liaodong, and the Ming army was a little troubled. The wild boar skin will soon learn that after Zhang Zongxian took office as the governor of Jiliao, he disbanded the original Ming army and rebuilt it, and rebuilt the household registration for the people.

Coupled with the all-out attack of the investigation department, the wild boar skin was completely reduced to a blind man. This time, it only took half a day for the Ming army to march from the whole army to Saarhu.

Let the wild boar skin not react at all, if it raids Hetuala, maybe the wild boar skin will be able to react when the soldiers are approaching the city.

When the wild boar skin summoned the elite of the Eight Banners in Hetuala, Zhang Zongxian had already begun to attack the city.

The siege task will be carried out by three infantry brigades, and the strength of two brigades will be concentrated on Jilin Ya.That is, the Acropolis in the east launched an attack, and the remaining brigade was used as a reserve team.Keep an eye on the enemy army on the western Acropolis.

The reason for the steepness of the mountain is that the cannons were left in the camp at the foot of the mountain.

Immediately after crossing the Suzi River, the two infantry brigades began to establish rocket launch positions at a place less than 500 meters away from the Jilin Cliff.

The Jiannu guarding the city still knew nothing about the actions of the Ming army. They took advantage of wild boar skins to occupy half of North Korea. Lots of firearms.

It's just that they are all bowl-mouth guns, bird guns, hundred-child guns, and a small amount of Frankie guns.

The range of these weapons could not threaten the rocket artillery position at all. Soon, the Jiannu on the Acropolis saw that the huge arrows that were originally on the Ming army's position suddenly flew towards them with thick smoke from their buttocks. Come.

Then these Jian slaves were bombed into the sky before they could escape in time, but these rockets could only cause damage to the Jian slaves defending the city, and could not break down the city wall.

After three consecutive rounds of bombing, Jiannu on the Acropolis was almost dead. The officer immediately led the soldiers to rush under the city wall, using the range of the flintlock guns to suppress the Jiannu on the city.

Then the engineers brought explosives to the gate of the city gate, directly blasted open the city gate with two hundred catties of gunpowder, and captured the eastern acropolis in less than an hour.

Seeing the fall of the Acropolis, the defenders of the main city immediately sent troops to reinforce them, but they were directly defeated by a platoon of guns, and never dared to leave the city again.

After clearing out the Jiannu in the city, they quickly moved the rocket artillery positions forward to the front of the main city. Under the bombardment of the rockets, none of the buildings in the city survived, and half of the [-] Jiannu guarding the city were killed directly.

At this time, the infantry brigade of the West Acropolis also launched an attack. After occupying the West Acropolis, both sides launched an attack on the main city at the same time.

Still using gunpowder to blow open the city gate, the living Jiannu still wanted to fight the Ming army in a street fight, but was directly beaten by the Legislative Army's volleys of guns and bayonets so that he dared not show his face.

They could only hide in some strong courtyards and resist stubbornly. The Legislative Army transported the cannons up the mountain, first bombarding the courtyard walls, and then sweeping everything with shotguns.

Before the sun set, the Legislative Army had completely wiped out Jiefan City, and now the wild boar skin had assembled its troops, ready to come over overnight to support.

In Ye Zhupi's view, given the danger of Jiefan City and the support of so many firearms, the Ming army must be unable to attack for a long time. After he arrived with the Eight Banners, he could force the Ming army to withdraw.

After all, the last battle left a great shadow on Wild Boar Pi, and he no longer expected to defeat the Ming army in a field battle.

The wild boar belt led the Eight Banners halfway and got a report from Tan Ma that Jiefan City had fallen, and the Ming army took Jiefan City in only one afternoon.

Hearing this news, Wild Boar Pi became furious and immediately fell off the horse.

After Ye Zhupi woke up, Huang Taiji had already returned to Hetuala with the Eight Banners.

He didn't blame Huang Taiji for withdrawing his troops from the wild boar skin. He also understood that if he lost Jiefan City, he would only lose troops and generals in a battle with the Ming army, which was no different from the next big battle.

The question now is how to attack the Ming army next.
