Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 447 Landing on the beach under the advantage of artillery fire

The first year of Zhaowu, September 26.

The Henan Garrison of the Three Towns under the command of Ren Guangrong boarded a boat to cross the river at the Yellow River pier near Sishui County.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to fight across the river, and most of them will be attacked by the enemy halfway across the river.

However, those naval divisions of the Ming army who were able to enter the Yellow River are now in the Yellow River in Henan and South Zhili to assist in combat operations.

However, the Qing army's navy is not only small in number, but also weak, so the waterway of the Yellow River is completely occupied by the Ming army's navy—this is one of the reasons why the Qing army was forced to defend.

Otherwise, according to the habit of the Qing army, they would really send troops across the river to attack the Ming army strongholds and harass the Ming army's food roads.

Had the fighting dragged on into winter and the Yellow River had frozen over, the Qing would have used their superior cavalry to do so.

Now that the Yellow River has not been frozen, the Qing army can only watch the Ming army sailors carry people across the river.

Although the Green Army of the Qing Army set up strongholds in some easy-to-land positions on the north bank of the Yellow River, these strongholds could play very limited roles in the face of the threat of numerous artillery artillery from the Ming Army Navy.

On an inland river warship, Liu Tichun was standing on the bow deck looking towards the north bank.

The sailor general who commanded the warship was originally a Yangtze River water bandit. He thought he was from a peasant army like Liu Tichun. After Liu Tichun boarded the ship, he came over and chatted enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, now this section of the Yellow River waterway is decided by the third town of our Navy.

Although Qinglu built some running bases on the north bank, he didn't dare to expose himself within the range of our naval cannons, because those who dared to do so were bombed out by us. "

As a result, as soon as the general words were finished, there was a cannon shot from the north bank.

"boom!"

An iron bullet hit the river against the bow of the ship, almost hitting the warship.

This made the naval officer feel ashamed, and immediately scolded angrily: "Damn it, there is still a fish that escaped the net on the other side of the hill. All artillery teams are aiming, let me fire!"

Boom boom boom!
Immediately, the three bright cannons on the ship fired one after another.

Liu Tichun looked through the binoculars, and saw that the grass and trees on the hillside were quite luxuriant. Even with the binoculars, he couldn't find where Qinglu ran away.

In this case, if you use live ammunition, it will be difficult to see any effect.

However, three rounds exploded and exploded, and the hillside was immediately blown up, the soil was turned over, and the dust was flying.Immediately afterwards, the withered and yellow weeds on the hillside burned.

But there is still no Qing prisoner appearing on it.

"Damn it, these dog traitors don't know whether they are running away or loading shells. With their firing speed, they may not be able to fire one round in 5 minutes.

And this stronghold is estimated to be a red cannon that can hit the river. When they finished loading the shells and fired the second round, we all passed. "

Explaining the boss cursingly, he seemed to feel that he couldn't stop the warship, and it was very uncomfortable to completely blow out this Qinglu running base.

Liu Tichun was born as a low-level blacksmith, and it has only been a few months since he joined Daming, so he doesn't have the airs of a general.

Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Tao Ba. When we cross the river, we will pull out all the running bases of these Qing captives."

Tao Bazong wasn't angry at all, he just felt upset, and said with a smile: "Indeed, where will these bastard sons hide when they see it."

During the chat, Liu Tichun brought a group of his personal soldiers to a preset landing point downstream.

Before disembarking from the boat, Liu Tichun saw that the north bank was more than 300 steps away from the river, and there were many human and horse corpses of Qing soldiers from the green battalion.

But on this battlefield, the soldiers of the first battalion under his command can be seen cleaning the battlefield.

Near the landing point, the medical soldiers have set up a temporary wounded battalion and temporarily set up ten tents.

There are also a few medical soldiers working outside. It can be seen that although there are wounded soldiers in the tent, there will never be many.

Based on Liu Tichun's understanding of the rules of the wounded barracks, ten tents were filled with wounded soldiers, and there were only 100 soldiers.

However, in another place, more than 30 corpses of our own soldiers were parked, all of which were covered with small white cloths.

Although he knew that the Qing army would try to snipe this landing, and seeing that dozens of soldiers died in battle, Liu Tichun couldn't help sighing—not because of the dead, but because in his opinion, the dead were all dead. He was an elite soldier in the Shun Army in the past.

When disembarking, Liu Tichun clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to trouble Tao to send the bodies of the dozens of soldiers who died in battle back to the south bank."

Tao Bazong said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will definitely send the remains of these heroes back to the South Bank safely."

After Liu Tichun got off the boat, he saw Xie Yinglong, the general of the first battalion, and several personal soldiers came to welcome him.

After Xie Yinglong saluted with his fists in his hands, he said directly: "General soldier, just now I led a battalion to land here. The Qing captives first tried to bombard our troop carrier with many cannons, but the naval warships fired back with dozens of cannons. It will soon be impossible to fire shells.

Our first battalion took advantage of this to land, but before we could gain a firm foothold, more than 500 cavalry attacked.

Fortunately, the first sentry plate armor player to land on the slope in front of him, fighting to the death, supported by the artillery fire of the warship, blocked the cavalry of the green camp of the Qing Dynasty for a while, and bought time for the other soldiers of my battalion to land.

Only when our musketeers and artillery landed to support us did we repel the green cavalry.It's a pity that we have too few cavalry, leaving only more than 200 of them. "

Liu Tichun had expected this for a long time, and what he cared most about was not how many Qing captives were killed, but his own casualties.

He noticed that Xie Yinglong's eyes were slightly red, and asked, "How many soldiers were killed or injured?"

Xie Yinglong sighed: "Only a few people were injured in the musketeers and artillerymen, but the sentinel board armor player who went up first injured 88 people and killed 39 people."

That's half the casualties.

As a new garrison town, Liu Tichun's battalion only has two guards equipped with plate armor, one is the personal sentry of the battalion general, and the other is the warrior sentry of all sword players.

The soldiers of these warrior posts are basically the elite of the Shun army in the past, and their combat quality is not inferior to that of the personal soldiers.

Now half of the first battalion was killed or injured in one battle, no wonder Xie Yinglong felt distressed.

Liu Tichun was also distressed, but as a general, he did not indulge in such grief, but asked: "Can you send sentry cavalry to keep up with those green cavalry?"

"Sent." Xie Yinglong said, "Although the sentry cavalry hasn't returned yet, they have sent back a message through the walkie-talkie that those cavalry have entered Wushe County."

"Wushe County?" A cold light flashed in Liu Tichun's eyes, and he said, "Okay, when all the soldiers in our town have landed, we will attack Wushe County, destroy the Qing captives inside, and avenge the dead and wounded soldiers!"

As the commander-in-chief, Liu Tichun arrived after the first battalion.

Another half an hour later, the other two battalions also landed here.

The more than 200 cavalry was probably considered a considerable loss for Wu She's green battalion generals, or they were frightened by the artillery fire of the Ming army navy and the fighting will of the garrison soldiers, so they did not attack again.

This is a way for Liu Tichun to survive in peace.

However, Liu Tichun's garrison soldiers had at least one or two months of battlefield experience, and there were almost no recruits. After reorganization, they went through two or three months of running-in training, so they quickly became orderly after landing.

Liu Tichun gave a simple mobilization speech, and immediately led the whole town to Wushe County.

During this period, he used the walkie-talkie to contact Ren Guangrong and Dang Shousu who had landed in other nearby places.

Although the garrison led by Ren Guangrong and Party Chief Su was not disturbed by the Qing captives when they landed, they still wanted to take Wushe County today.

So the three of them made an appointment, and after preparing to meet up, they took down Wu She with the momentum of Mount Tai.
