Chapter 145: Burning the Ship

The Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei in the First Year of High School, is not good at fighting, but fortunately, he has one advantage, that is, he is willing to be attentive and never be careless in everything. Now he is following Tong Meishan, so he is naturally very familiar with the path here. But the First Year of High School immediately thought of something, and while walking, he whispered to remind Tong Meishan:

"The battle on the Monkey Stone Mountain is so lively. The Tartars are not stupid. There are 5,000 Tartars in Lushun. I'm afraid they will send troops to deal with Lord Leng and the others immediately. I'm thinking, even if the 500 Tartars are attacking with the Japanese, they can't stand it."

Gao Yi Peru was at the attack site just now, and his ears were full of gunfire. This was the first time that this scene was immersed in this scene. Gao Yi Peru was attracted by the dazzling new firearm. At first, he thought that it was no problem to win a few dozen Japanese. Later, the battle became more and more intense, making Gao Yi Peru very nervous, his palms were sweaty, his mind was confused, but he couldn't do it. Later, he saw Cui Sanlei's magical artillery skill, and thought that he could only use the gunfire of his fingers. He thought that the Japanese had finished playing this. The truth was very disheartening, and Gao Yi Peru became much more awake. I remembered that the Tartars were always cruel animals, and Leng Xuhai had only 120 people. It was already very difficult to attack the Japanese. If the Qing army surrounded him, wouldn't it be too bad!

Tong Meishan said:

"Didn't you have already sent a letter from Fei Ge just now? The 60 people guarding the beach on the shore will immediately reinforce Houshishan. Brother Gao would better manage our way first. We will seize a high ground. As long as we can observe the Qing army ships in the port, put on guns, and fire a few rounds of artillery fire, we can kill the Qing army's warships. After killing the warships, we will immediately return to Houshishan. I think Company Commander Qiu and others should be able to hold on until we can kill them."

Tong Meishan thought to himself that if he had gone straight to the port after landing, he might have been able to approach the port quietly, and then suddenly fired a cannon. At this time, the port fleet would have been ignited. Alas! I wonder if the Qing army had reacted at this time. If the defenders were sent along the port, I wonder if they would have to fight a tough battle to approach the port. Tong Meishan really disagreed with Wu Sangui's behavior in his heart. When he saw that Leng Xuhai, his subordinate, only knew how to fight. He was a brave but not a resourceful person, and he didn't expect this cold-faced guy at all. On the contrary, Company Commander Qiu had participated in the attack on Tamsui, and the brothers of the new army were obviously more trustworthy.

The first year of high school student looked relaxed and said:

"We are heading southwest. Not far ahead, there is a mountain ridge where the Tartars are rushing to repair the fort. The fort has not been completed yet. There are only fifty Tartars guarding there, all of them are old and weak. It should not be difficult to seize this ridge. After getting on that ridge, the port was full of fire and fired cannons on it. With the magical skills of Brother Cui, killing the Tartars' warship was a piece of cake."

Tong Meishan just hoped that the Qing army would not strengthen the defense of the ridge. At this time, the ridge could be seen from afar. Tong Meishan ordered the sharp knife squad to move forward quickly while asking the gunners to prepare for fire support at any time. Tong Meishan always felt that after attacking Monkey Stone Mountain, the Qing army was warned and could not remain indifferent. If it were himself, he would definitely defend heavily around the port. How could it be as Gao Yipei said, such an important ridge is also an important commanding height around the port. Could it be that it turned out that what happened is still the same, and the fifty old and weak are stationed on it? It is impossible to be so lucky.

But what made Tong Meishan speechless was that the statement of Gao Yi Peru seemed to be true. After the sharp knife squad approached the foot of the mountain ridge, a rain of arrows immediately flew down the mountain ridge. However, the rain of arrows was really sparse. With this sparse rain of arrows, it can be estimated that there were only the No. 450 Qing army on the mountain ridge. What is most exciting is that, except for the powerful cold weapons such as bows and arrows, these dozens of Qing soldiers were probably disdainful to use hot weapons that were not suitable for use. So far, they have not shot out any bullets. Tong Meishan really doesn't want to use hot weapons.

Understand why this is the case. The Qing army here is not bad for guns and cannons. Of course, Tong Meishan didn't know that the guns and cannons bought from the Japanese were given priority for the Qing army on the front line of Shanhaiguan. Half of the defenders here in Lushun were old, weak and disabled soldiers, that is, five hundred people were equipped with rifles. As for the other Qing army, relying on the myth of being invincible in the world, they did not take the Ming army seriously. Of course, there were many guns and cannons in the military weapon warehouse, but they were unloaded from the Japanese ships and were ready to be transported to Shanhaiguan. General Wu did not have the courage to embezzle them without authorization.

Although he was facing a group of Qing troops carrying swords and arrows, the special forces of the Sharp Knife Squad still fiddled with a series of tactical actions, of course the bows and arrows on the mountain could only land in front of the special forces. The gunshots of the special forces members rang out at the right time, and the Qing army fell down on the mountain. Tong Meishan did not have such good patience and immediately ordered the gunners to join the Qing army in the clearing of the mountaintop.

Although the fifty Tartars on the ridge were not crowded together, they never dispersed. In Cui Sanlei's eyes, it was already densely formed. The first rocket fired fell into the pile of Tartars. After four consecutive guns, the movement of the Qing army on the mountain became much smaller. Tong Meishan waved his hand to stop the gunners from continuing to fire, because he no longer needed a slaughter to kill chickens. A platoon rushed forward and killed the Qing army who dared to use bows and arrows to fight against rifles without much effort.

It was a bit unbelievable to have rushed to the ridge so smoothly. General Wu had experienced many battles over the years, and had always relied on horseback and arrows in his hand. He had always been unstoppable to gallop on the plains. Of course, he didn't care about occupying a ridge. If the Japanese hadn't told him that the cannon was mounted on the mountain to fight further, General Wu might not even have any interest in building a turret on this ridge. Therefore, General Wu still did not have the awareness of increasing troops to defend the ridge after learning that the Ming army besieged Monkey Stone Mountain.

After getting on the ridge, I had a glimpse of the port of Lushun. I really wanted to fight whatever I wanted. It was the best firepower launching point to exert the power of rocket launchers. Of course, the Qing army's artillery in the north was a bit annoying. The turret was just repaired and had already installed the cannons. If it was aimed at this ridge, it would still be a great threat.

Next was the performance time of the Ming army rocket launcher. The first round was all blasting bombs, which landed on the north turrets and on the large warships in the fleet. Of course, there were also shells that inevitably hit the sea, splashing large columns of water. The Qing army was also busy, turning their rudders and aiming, preparing to fight back at the ridges of the cannons. After a while, the unilateral shelling turned into a roundabout way, and in this way, the two sides began to fire guns at each other. However, the Qing army had only a few ships equipped with new Japanese artillery, and most of them were old artillery.

As a result, all the Qing army ships equipped with new artillery on the ship were given the focus of the Ming army's rocket launcher. Some of the Ming army's rocket launchers now changed to incendiary bombs. Relying on the superior perspective of launch, the Ming army's artillery shells fell on the Ming army's large ships, and the fireballs all over the sky also fell on the Qing army's warships. Especially those warships equipped with old-fashioned cannons, after the fireballs fell on the ship, they were touched and slapped. In a short while, the gunpowder on the ship was lit. Within a while, the boats in the port were not It was the Ming army's artillery chasing, but many small boats were still suffering from fish disasters. Seeing that big ships were hit and ignited, Sun Sanpao could only do anything. After being hit by the Ming army's incendiary bombs, he had to abandon the ship. Finally, except for the small boats, the big ships were almost burning. The fruitless large warship was hiding, so he simply burned all the jade and stones. Regardless of the matter, he fired at the Ming army on the ridge. The few lonely shells shot out were really hard to roar compared to the Ming army's artillery shells that flocked to the flying Ming army. It is conceivable that the warship did not last long and repeated the same fate of other warships. After the crew jumped to the sea, they couldn't bear to hear the fire on the ship, and half of the sea surface was red.

The shells fired from the ship caused almost no damage to the Ming army. The attacked warships had to avoid attacks and fire guns. The ship was not as accurate as on land. The accuracy of firing cannons was pitiful. They caught fire after a few shots. Therefore, the Qing warships only made a lot of noise, boom boom boom boom, and almost no gain. Speaking of which, the old solid bullet hit the great fortune, killing two unlucky Ming soldiers. The iron ball hit the head of the Ming army in front, opened the Ming army, and then hit a stone. After bounced up, it hit a Ming army's chest, knocked the man directly, flew away a lot, and rolled down the mountain, and had long been out of life.

No matter what the cannons on the ship were, the cannons on the north were still roaring tenaciously. The fortifications on the north were built. The Ming army's rockets were good at blowing one of the fortifications and the cannons, but the other cannon was hidden in the fortifications and kept firing the cannons. This cannon caused a lot of casualties to the Ming army, and more than twenty brothers were injured and killed under this cannon.

When Tong Meishan saw that the large warships in the port had been burned into giant fire ships, and their purpose had been achieved. They no longer needed to get shots here. At the command, the Ming army carried the hot cannon barrel and more than 120 subordinates quickly retreated westward.

When Tong Meishan led his team to Houshi Mountain, the situation in Houshi Mountain had already taken a sharp turn. At this moment, Leng Xuhai led the Ming army to the middle of the mountain, and the foot of the mountain was full of Qing troops. The Japanese on the mountain and the Qing army attacked on both sides of the mountain, and the Ming army in the middle was already in danger.

Takuo Nishimura thought that the Ming army was attacking each other, but there was no chance of running away. Unexpectedly, another Ming army came. He sighed in his heart. Could this Monkey Stone Mountain be a place of bloody battle in his fate! It seemed that he could not stop the scene without fighting.
