The battle in Yushan has reached a critical moment.
Dorgon used his genius ideas to teach Yu Lichun a practical lesson.
Although Yu Lichun is older than Dorgon in terms of age, in terms of combat experience, Dorgon completely crushes Yu Lichun.
After all, Dorgon went to the battlefield at the age of nine and fought hard for more than ten years. What has he not seen?
Yu Lichun only arranged one company of troops on Yushan.
Originally, I thought that Yushan was right next to the city wall, and the artillery behind the city wall could also support the mountain, so there was no fear of Hou Jin attacking the mountain.
But they did not expect that Dorgon would light smoke everywhere on the battlefield, so that the sight of the new army was seriously obstructed.
Under the cover of the smoke, Dorgon sent ten Niulus to launch the most violent attack on Yushan.
Not only that, this time Dorgon also changed his tactics.
He asked the Eight Banners infantrymen to charge forward with shields and act as human shields.
Shi Tingzhu led Wu Zhenchaoha closely behind.
It is to close the distance with the New Army and create opportunities for Wu Zhenchaoha.
In the past Jin wars, the Han people served as cannon fodder, creating opportunities for the Jurchen elites to harvest the battlefield.
But this time, Dorgon had to go against his will in order to win.
Among the senior officials of the Hou Jin Dynasty, only Huang Taiji was really kind to the Han people.
The rest of Dorgon, Duoduo and others all regarded the Han people as slaves of pigs and dogs. Although they did not want to insult them wantonly, they did not take them seriously.
This is why during the Huang Taiji era, the Hou Jin Dynasty was able to win a great victory every time it fought against the Ming Dynasty; but during the Dorgon and Shunzhi era, it took decades to pacify Jiangnan alone.
Without the Yangzhou Ten Days and Jiading Three Massacres, the resistance of the Han people would not have been so fierce.
But this time in the face of reality, Dorgon also chose to follow his heart.
Guarding Jade Mountain is the 117th Company.
They didn't know how many enemies were in front of them, but they fired round after round.
He watched helplessly as countless enemies fell, but more enemies rushed up again.
Even though they were condescending, the damage that more than a hundred muskets could cause was still extremely limited.
Company 117 also has two supporting mortars.
Although the gunner tried his best, the delivery of the artillery shells was still somewhat poor.
Finally, the Jurchen infantry relied on their flesh and blood to reach within fifty steps.
They quickly dispersed to both sides, Wu Zhenchaoha bared his fangs.
Although this distance was far less than the effective killing range of the Houjin Fire Gun, the general commanding the battle could no longer care.
Seeing so many Jurchen warriors die tragically, he was already a little scared.
Wu Zhenchaoha lined up in rows and rows. After crossing the line, he ignored them and just opened fire upwards.
The new troops above were also desperately projecting firepower.
For the first time, the new army and the rear army exchanged fire on the battlefield.
In the first round of confrontation, Wu Zhenchaoha suffered dozens of casualties, while the New Army suffered several casualties.
Shi Tingzhu quickly gave the order, and Wu Zhenchaoha from the second row stepped forward.
But this kind of rotation is still not as fast as that of the new army.
While the second row of musketeers were still moving forward, the new army's muskets fired first.
Seeing this scene, Shi Tingzhu's eyes were filled with tears.
He really wanted to see what the New Army's firearms looked like and why they were so brutal?
Fortunately, the number of new troops was too small and the damage caused was limited.
In the second round, the musketeers were stationed, and after a burst of white smoke, the new army was sacrificed.
If the fight continues like this, all the men in the 117th Company will be exhausted sooner or later.
But just then, the navy arrived.
"It seems that Yu Lichun's life is not easy."
Standing on the command podium, Zhang Keda had a clear view of the battlefield situation through the telescope.
"Order all artillery and firepower to support that hilltop."
Zhang Keda could see the importance of Yushan at a glance.
More than twenty warships slowly approached the shore. Once within range, all the heavy artillery began to pour out firepower.
Although the Jurchens saw these warships at a distance of more than 6,000 meters, they were unable to do anything.
The power of heavy artillery is much more terrifying.
Although the accuracy of more than twenty artillery shells was average, they still wreaked havoc in the Jurchen array.
It is unknown how many people died in this shelling.
Anyway, Wuzhenchaoha's originally tight three-row array was only less than half left after the bombardment.
The broken limbs and broken arms in mid-air were accompanied by blood, dyeing the entire space red.
Shi Tingzhu staggered up from the ground, his ears filled with buzzing roars. His eyes were full of blood, and everything he looked at was shaky.
"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"
This battle cannot be fought.
Although they knew that the new army on the mountain had suffered heavy losses, they would definitely be able to attack it if they added more strength.
However, the new army at the top of the mountain was supported by naval guns, and Hou Jin's power could not be added anyway.
The painstaking plan was broken by the sudden arrival of the navy, and Dorgon vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
He stared blankly at the giant creatures swimming on the sea, feeling weak all over.
After all, the Jurchens are just warriors in the grasslands and forests. They are really powerless in the face of attacks from the sea.
"Withdraw troops."
Yushan was not captured, and no matter how fiercely the Jurchens fought on the front, they could do nothing to the New Army's city wall.
If the fight continues, under attack from both sides, the Jurchens' losses will only be greater.
Withdrawal became the only option.
Amidst the sound of the trumpet, the troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty came and went in a hurry, and quickly retreated to the camp of Yongxing Temple.
The disgraced Yu Lichun on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but chatter when I saw the warships on the sea.
"Grandma, it's easy for these navy to just fire cannons and drive away the Tatars."
The person next to me said angrily: "Brigade commander, adjust your deployment quickly. If it weren't for the navy, we would be in disgrace today."
Yu Lichun wiped his face and quickly ordered more troops to be sent to Yushan. At the same time, he asked the entire army to brainstorm ways to deal with the Houjin Smoke Formation.
Zhang Keda did not take it seriously after helping the advance detachment heading north to relieve the siege, but commanded the fleet to continue heading north along the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula.
If the fleet stays here, the most it can do is help the advance detachment heading north to defend.
Then gold will be beaten or not, but it will be free.
The purpose of the fleet was to force Hou Jin to withdraw his troops.
Houjin has also been monitoring the movements of this sudden fleet.
"Baylor, those southern ships are heading north."
Dorgon closed his eyes and meditated.
"What do they want?"
Azig was alert and experienced, and he made a judgment immediately.
"No, these southerners want to cut off our retreat."
Dorgon didn't know why.
"These southerners can still be arrogant for a while on the water. If they come to land, who will be my opponent to the Eight Banners warriors?"
Azig said angrily: "Can this Shandong New Army be the same?"
Recalling the scenes on the battlefield during this period, Dorgon couldn't help but take a breath.
"Quickly pass the order to Gaizhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard to be on guard."
