Chapter 120 Two-way Attack
No one expected that the first city recaptured in this battle of Liaodong was not the work of the Yu family army, but the first contribution of the Guanning army, which also made the Guanning army and the whole army raise their eyebrows for this.
However, the Guanning soldiers who participated in the war actually knew in their hearts that if Yu Xiaotian hadn't led troops to surround Dalinghe Fort, contain the main force of the Jiannu in this area, and also attracted the defenders of Yizhou out. With their combat strength, it would have been a dream to capture Yizhou so easily.
But in any case, they still won a battle and restored Yizhou City, which made the Guanning army, which had always been suppressed by the construction slaves, cheered up and restored some confidence.
After Zu Dashou led the army to capture the city of Yizhou, he quickly began to divide his troops to clean up the surrounding area. At this time, there were not many slaves left in the enslaved castles between Yizhou and Dalinghe Fort, so in just a few days, this area was cleaned by the Guanning army.
The discipline of the Guanning army is far worse than that of the family army, and its methods are also very cruel. Moreover, after many years of fighting, every Guanning army general has more or less had some blood hatred with Jiannu. Now that Jiannu has lost power, they kill people no less than Jiannu. For a moment, they almost killed the Jiannu flagmen who could see cleanly. It's really a bloody wash.
On this side, the city of Yizhou was broken, and the Dalinghe Fort was besieged. The slave chief Taiji was shocked when he heard the news and immediately ordered the Jiannu who guarded Guangning to send troops to support. However, Yu Xiaotian continued to lead the army to besiege the city, and the Jiannu reinforcements who came with Guangning also came to a round. More than 2,000 slave soldiers and horses were also cleaned up by the Yu family army.
After defeating these two reinforcements, Yu Xiaotian ordered a strong attack on Dalinghe Fort. Under the cover of artillery, more than 10,000 infantry began to launch a final assault on Dalinghe City.
Although Jiannu was also equipped with a batch of cannons and fire-guns at this time, compared with the resources of the whole Ming Dynasty occupied by the family army and the sea wolf's unique mechanized assembly line operation and more advanced production technology, these cannon fire-guns produced by Jiannu cannot be compared with the equipment of the family army in quality and quantity. Some artillery-guns compete with each other.
Yu Jiajun also found changes in Jiannu's equipment and tactics in the past two years, but Yu Jiajun simply disdained the firearms at all. Artillery against artillery, Jiannu's fights are not far from them, and there is no basis for them. Fire-guns against fire-guns, Jiannu's birds are two-guns against the wolf teeth of the family army. , and can only be beaten.
So although Huang Taiji has devoted all his national strength and built hundreds of cannons and thousands of bird guns in the past two years, he still has no power to counter his army.
Under the intensive artillery fire of the family army, the construction slave army defending the city could not raise their heads at all, and all their defense facilities became useless in front of cannons and wolf-guns.
The slave soldiers who defended the city were often thrown to the ground by bullets as soon as they appeared on the wall. Under the cover of artillery fire, a large number of Yu's soldiers quickly carried ladders and pushed various siege equipment to the foot of the city wall.
The engineers threw themselves into the battlefield again, and quickly dug a deep pit under the wall in the west of the city like a marmot, and then dug it at the foot of the city wall.
A lot of gunpowder was quickly filled into the foot of the city wall. After a loud noise, the wall in the west of the city suddenly jumped up, and then collapsed, and the original neat wall appeared a huge gap in an instant.
A large number of Yu's soldiers immediately poured into the city from this gap like a tide, and fought closely with the Jiannu defenders in the city.
After the siege of Zilhalang, he was absolutely unlucky, so he led the army in the city and the Yu family who invaded the city. Both sides paid a heavy price in the street battle.
Among the slaves, especially those veteran soldiers, who were brave and brave, wearing heavy armor, blocked in the streets and alleys and fighting with the Yu family army.
In the close combat, Yu's army obviously didn't take much advantage, so the loss was large. However, Yu's army's momentum was like a rainbow, and they kept launching fierce attacks one after another. If they really couldn't attack, they simply solved the problem with a grenade and threw grenades at the construction slave army hiding behind the barricade until he They all collapsed and fell down.
The street battle lasted for a whole day and a night, and the whole Dalinghe City was basically controlled by the Yu family army. In the end, Jierhalang retreated to a warehouse in the city with less than 100 slaves and continued to resist.
Yu Xiaotian was also too lazy to persuade them to surrender. He directly sent troops to block the warehouse, then brought a large amount of firewood, piled them around the warehouse and splashed fire oil to ignite them, like smoked rats.
In the end, the slave soldiers in the whole warehouse, including Jilhalang, were roasted alive. When the fire was extinguished, Yu Jiajun cleaned up the fire and finally found a pile of roasted human meat in the warehouse. Even Jiel Harang himself could not figure out which pile of cooked meat it was, so he had to pull it out. A big pit was buried and pulled down together.
Dalinghe City and Yizhou City were destroyed, which also announced that the first line of defense of Jiannu was completely conquered, and the passage to the hinterland of Liaodong was also completely opened.
This is not the most terrible thing. It is that Xiaotian personally led the troops to go through the mountain customs and began to launch a crusade against Jiannu. At the same time, there was also a raging war on the Liaodong Peninsula.
The other two troops, led by Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and other former Dongjiang army generals, set out from Dengzhou and went straight to Zhenjiangbao, and the other route departed from Qingdao to Lushunbao to land.
Yujiajun, who arrived at Lushunbao first, took a rest after landing. Under the leadership of the former generals of Dongjiang Town such as Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, they began to attack north and went straight to Jinzhouwei under the control of Jiannu. When they went to the green mud depression on the north side of Dalian Bay, they were blocked by a construction army.
Kong Youde led a brigade and easily turned the Jiannu who blocked their way into scum, then led his troops straight to the Golden State Acropolis and randomly began to launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou.
Jinzhou has a military force of more than 3,000 Jiannu troops. Although they are also claimed to be quite fierce, it depends on who is right. When Jiannu controls the Liaodong Peninsula and completely eliminates the Dongjiang Army, these Jiannu soldiers will indeed be very fierce, but in the past two years, they have repeatedly tried to capture Lushun Fort, but In front of the naval soldiers stationed at Lushun Fort, they were repeatedly beaten to look for their teeth.
Today's Jinzhou defenders are basically defeated soldiers who have been defeated in recent years. In the face of the sudden fierce attack of Yu's army, they can't stop it at all. Jinzhou City, led by Kong Youde, took only four days to declare the defeat, Jinzhou Thousands of soldiers built slaves in the city were killed by Kong Youde, and almost all the flagmen in the city were slaughtered by Kong Youde.
Among the Yu family army led by Kong Youde this time, most of them are the army formed on Jeju Island. Many of them are the old troops of the Dongjiang Army or the Han people on the side of Dongjiang Town. These people had a deep blood between them and the Jiannu army in their early years. This time, when they finally set foot on their hometown, they became popular when they saw Jiannu. With his eyes, he was extremely brave when he went to kill the enemy, and when he captured Jinzhou City, Kong Youde deliberately indulged the soldiers and did not care much about military discipline. As a result, these former Dongjiang Army and Liaodong Han soldiers each revealed the darkest side of human nature.
This Jiannu was unlucky. When they met these red-eyed military generals, they basically couldn't escape death. After the whole Jinzhou City was destroyed, the Jiannu alone were slaughtered. According to subsequent statistics, there were nearly 10,000 people.
Kong Youde did not order until the third day after breaking through Jinzhou City, and stopped the slaughter of Jiannu in the Jinzhou area, but it was already too late. The Jiannu in this area were almost slaughtered by the Yu family army, leaving only those who were captured by Jiannu and later returned to Jiannu, or became The cloth slave was either forced into the flags and became the Han people of the flag.
These wrapped slaves were all rescued by the Yu family army. First, they were temporarily comforted and given some food and clothing, so that they could temporarily stay in Jinzhou for a living.
As for the Han people who were included in the flags and became the flag ding, they arrested and punished a group and killed a batch, and the rest were incorporated into the servicemen's team to serve as labor for the Yu family army and follow the Yu family army to carry out the next military action.
After Kong Youde controlled Jinzhou, he began to point the front of troops to Fuzhou, and the whole army began to advance towards Fuzhou again.
The other way is Yujiajun, led by Zhenshan, the general of the army, led by Mao Chenglu and other old parts of the Dongjiang River, and directly took the sea road straight to Zhenjiangbao on the west bank of the mouth of the Yalu River.
Zhenjiangbao used to be the headquarters of Dongjiang Town, but in fact it was not controlled by Mao Wenlong for a long time. Although Dongjiang Town was named after Zhenjiangbao, it was actually not worthy of its name. For most of the time in Dongjiang Town, Zhenjiangbao was actually controlled by construction slaves.
Mao Wenlong's real headquarters was actually on Pidao, but this time, under the leadership of Mao Chenglu and other old parts of the Dongjiang River, the Yu family army, led by Zhenshan, went straight to Zhenjiang Fort. The warship went straight into the river from the mouth of the Yalu River and went upstream to the bank of Zhenjiang Fort.
Dozens of warships and troop carriers gathered on the shore, and the cannons bombarded Zhenjiang Fort with bricks and stones. Although Zhenjiang Fort also had several redyi cannons, as soon as the war began, they were dumb by the Yu's army's army and navy, and then the naval guns concentrated their fire and bombarded the city wall. About an hour later, near the city near the river bank. The wall was completely bombarded into scum.
One or two thousand slave defenders in Zhenjiang Fort were killed a lot on the spot, and the rest were scared to escape from the fort. Yu Zhenshan landed with his troops and soon controlled Zhenjiang Fort and gained a firm foothold here.
