Chapter 459: Dagu Fortress, Qing General's Mind

When Gang Atai led his Green Camp soldiers to Dagukou, he saw the sails on the sea like clouds, which seemed to cover the entire sea surface, which was shocked and stunned.

When he came to his senses, he saw that the artillery was still firing, but they all hit the sea in front of the Ming Navy warships. He immediately said angrily: "You can't hit the Ming army warships so far, why do you fire the guns?

?”

Unfortunately, others were not on the fort, and no general from the fort was next to them. No one was responsible for this reprimand.

Then, as soon as Atai calmed down, he thought of a very serious problem: there are so many Ming army warships, how many new artillery should be there on that ship?

According to Geng Zhongming, there are usually four or five new artillery on the Ming army's inland warships, and the sea ships are even bigger, so the new artillery installed may not be more than ten.

On the sea front, there were hundreds of sea ships he saw with a thousand-mile mirror alone. Are there thousands of such new artillery?!

Atai had never seen the power of the Ming army's new artillery when it was fired. I only heard that it would be faster, faster and more powerful than the Red Barbarian cannon.

Although he could not imagine what a scene he would take out thousands of new artillery cannons would take out, he felt frightened just by imagining the scene he would take out hundreds of red cannons together.

As for thousands of new Ming army artillery fired together, I'm afraid that thousands of troops will be beaten instantly, right?

Just as Atai was frightened, he heard a cannon sound coming from the sea in the distance.

However, a warship sent out an iron bomb and landed in a river channel dozens of steps away from a fort.

Gang Atai's command, a Green Camp Guerrilla who didn't know much about artillery battle, saw this and sneered: "The Ming Navy's cannons were not very accurate, and they ran a lot, but this shot was not hit."

Hearing this, Gang Atai, who knew the artillery battle, cursed angrily: "Idiot! This is the Ming army's test shooting! I will definitely fire continuously in a while. I will find a place for me to hide. When the Ming army lands, we will

Go out and intercept it again!”

"Yeah!"

At the beginning, many people from the Han army, who participated in the Battle of Yangzhou, escaped from the Green Camp, which brought Qingting some experience in avoiding artillery fire.

What's more, the Qing army used trenches during Nurhaci's period. Now, in order to deal with the Ming army's artillery, the troops naturally dug many trenches when they were guarding the land.

What's more, in the area of ​​Dagukou, there are already many plants and trees, which are suitable for concealment.

Then, the Ming army launched shellings continuously as Gang'atai expected.

Although the number of light artillery that participated in the use of the thousands of guns that Gang Atai thought, there were as many as more than 300.

Following the Green Camp soldiers who were hidden in the trenches near the trenches, they saw that the eight main artillery bases that housed red barbarian cannons were almost all flooded by the Ming army's flowering bullets.

After that, there was no movement during the run, and the artillery inside was unaware of the life and death of the artillery.

However, only a few of the twenty small turrets that housed Red Barbarian Cannons were accurately hit by the flowering bullets, and most of the defenders on the turrets were fine.

After one or two hundred breaths, the second round of artillery attacks of the Ming army began.

There are still more than 300 new artillery pieces that are used one after another, but they are iron bullets, and this time the accuracy is slightly better than the last time.

I saw a lot of iron bullets roaring and hitting the running base, causing the soil and rocks to crack and splash.

The trot that was not very strongly built was hit by iron bombs and even collapsed.

After six rounds of artillery attacks, Gang Atai only felt that all the artillery seemed to be gone, and the Ming Navy warships approached the shore.

When the warship in front of the Ming army finally approached the artillery towers at Dagukou, within two miles of the artillery, the three surviving red cannons of the Qing army finally roared.

Unfortunately, the iron bullets they fired were very touching, and they all fell into the sea for two consecutive rounds.

Before they could pass the third round, the Ming army warships used dozens of artillery again, taking care of the three surviving runners with precision, and all of them were iron bullets.

At this moment, two of the three cannon bases that had been damaged were destroyed by iron bullets, and the remaining one was not moved.

However, at this time, the Ming army warships had entered the range of the Red Barbarian Cannons, and the remaining dozen remaining Red Barbarian Cannons of the Qing army also launched artillery one after another.

Unfortunately, the iron bullets they fired were also very accurate and touching. Only one shot hit a certain warship, but it did not stop the warship.

Immediately, the Ming army warships that were within one mile fell down again, causing the remaining ten Red Barbarian cannons to be flooded with gunpowder and no more movement.

Seeing this, the generals of the green camp beside Atai couldn't help feeling their throats dry and their hearts trembled.

One of the generals asked: "Sir General, are we really going out to prevent the Ming army from landing?"

Gang Atai was actually scared by the artillery fire of the Ming army. At this moment, he came to his senses when he heard this, held the hilt of the knife and looked at the general coldly, and asked, "Why, do you want to retreat before the battle?"

He controlled this green camp soldier not only because of the name given by the Qingting, but also because of the personal soldiers of more than a dozen white armor and one or two hundred vests of the Eight Banners Han Army.

In addition, the relatives of these elite green camp generals were also in the capital and were controlled by the Qing court.

Therefore, when the general heard this, the general immediately said, "The general dared not. The general just felt that the terrain of Dagukou was still too wide and the Ming army artillery was so fierce. We may not be able to successfully stop them from landing here."

Seeing this, the deputy general of the green camp also said, "Yes, General General, I have to stop the Ming army from landing here. We are a little bit dead. Letting the Ming army go straight from Tianjin to the capital will be a great crime."

Gang Atai frowned and asked, "What do you think you should do?"

The deputy general wanted to speak but stopped.

He wanted to say that the best choice now is to withdraw, withdraw back to Tianjin Acropolis, or even retreat to the capital.

But he dared not say it.

As soon as Atai saw that the deputy general did not speak, he knew that he was still thinking about retreating.

Why didn't Atai want to retreat? But he understood that Tianjin Wei and Dagukou are the best battlefield to stop the Ming army from the sea. If we can't stop the Ming army here, and give the capital time to react, the Qing Dynasty will be over.

.

He immediately stood up, pulled out his waist and said, "We were ordered to guard the Tianjin Guards. Now the Ming army is coming from the sea, and it is time for us to serve the Qing Dynasty.

What's more, when the Ming army landed, we rushed up with the Eight Banners Army and fought with them. The Ming army's warships would not dare to use artillery again.

In this way, we fought on the shore. With the strength of the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp soldiers, we could kill as much as the Ming army came.

But if someone disrespects the military order and retreats before the battle, don’t blame the general and the supervisor team for not recognizing others! Do you understand?!"

"I understand."

The green camp generals could only respond in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go back to the trenches and prepare to lead troops to fight."

"Yeah!"

The Ming army warship stopped within one mile of Dagukou. Then thousands of small boats were placed off the ship, each carrying up to a dozen people, and quickly rushed towards the shore by paddling.

Tuntai, who led the Eight Banners Army, was on the north bank, and Gangatai, who led the Green Camp soldiers, was on the south bank, and they were hiding in the trenches to see the distance between the Ming army.

The cavalry under their command also led the war horses out, preparing to calculate the time, and rushed forward and annihilated them as soon as the first wave of Ming army soldiers arrived ashore and before they could stand firm.

In this way, they never had to fight with too many Ming troops.

But how much effect this move can play, Tuntai and Gang Atai are not sure - they are actually very clear that the Ming army can also land from elsewhere and attack Dagukou. Or take advantage of the first wave of Ming army landing

When they were destroyed, they did not withdraw to the trench and directly bombarded them with flowering bullets.

Therefore, the two of them did not really stop the Ming army from landing, but just wanted to delay some time and give the Tianjin Acropolis and the capital time to prepare for the enemy.
