Section 289 Battle of Xuanchuanpo
When the two chiefs, Leng Eli and Kakduli, who were only in arrears for the ship, received the news that the DPRK was willing to give the ship, they were a little unconvinced, and asked twice.
In fact, the two chieftains are also very bitter B, their names are not known, not Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Abatai, Azig, Yuetuo, Zilharang, Sakhalian, Hauge, Dudu, Dolgon and other famous and noble generals of Houjin, the reason why they took the lead in attacking Phi Dao is because the rest of the chieftains are unwilling to come----- in their words, they would rather ride a thousand on land than fight a thousand at sea.
Besides, it can't be done.
The Houjin generals are proficient in land warfare, and they are really not interested in naval warfare, and they seem to have a lot of troops to send tens of thousands of troops, and the sea is vast, but they are fighting separately by boats, and the Houjin generals are naturally afraid of water and do not want to take risks, so when Leng Eli and Kak Duli unfortunately received the order, there was a feeling of darkness in front of them.
However, it has to be said that Houjin is doing well, and once the military order is issued, it must be resolutely implemented, and it is not allowed to escape halfway, and if it is defeated, it will definitely punish the crime, and depending on the situation, the cattle and sheep will be punished lightly, and the heavy will be removed from their posts and investigated, so the two chiefs will prepare for war in a down-to-earth manner.
In other words, if he is a general of the Ming Dynasty, he is ordered to fight a battle that he is not sure of, or he will not shirk the blame, or he will fight at a turtle speed after not sending troops to wait for the situation to change, or he will run away first when he engages in the battle, anyway, he will escape faster than others and save his strength, even if the whole battle is defeated, as long as there are soldiers and horses in his hand, the court will not dare to punish the crime at all.
This will not work in Houjin, Huang Taiji's military order is like a mountain, it must arrive at a certain day and a certain time, and an attack must be launched at a certain time and a certain day, otherwise, military law will be engaged!
is not afraid of no one, Huang Taiji has a lot of talents to use in the battle.
The same thing is true in the Southeast Mansion, Yan Changwu himself led the fleet out, who dared not listen to the order, and immediately beheaded on the spot!
He is also not afraid of no one, there is a steady stream of cadet students, and although the "supply" of officers is still insufficient, the number of officers is increasing year by year, so that the supply does not exceed the demand.
………
Leng Eli and Kake Duli mobilized troops and horses, transported supplies, and marched to the beach opposite Phi Dao, actively looking for ships, and "chopping wood and building ships" in Xuanchuan to prepare for the attack on Phi Dao. At the same time, walls were built along the coastline as fortifications for the offensive.
The most important of these was to send a message to North Korea asking for a ship.
However, if North Korea does not give the ship, the two chiefs threaten to bring troops to take it, which is not the same thing at all, without the consent of Brother Huang Taiji, his brother only authorized the two chiefs to send troops, and did not say that they would fight North Korea.
North Korea promised to send a ship, and they were overjoyed to arrive quickly.
Haha, didn't you say that North Korea didn't want to help me Houjin attack the Ming Kingdom (this is also one of the reasons why the big chiefs didn't want to come), I didn't expect that as soon as we came out, North Korea would be intimidated, refreshing!
Soon they couldn't laugh anymore.
Ships come in a steady stream, and the big ships have Nanjing sand boats, which are one of the excellent ship types of the Ming Kingdom, and are listed as the two basic wooden sailing ship types in China along with the Fu boat. The flat bottom can sit on the beach. The length of the ship is 34 meters, the width is 4.5 meters, the draft is 1.9 meters, and the mainmast is more than ten meters high.
The medium-sized one has a fishing boat, which is transformed from a fishing boat with a net, which belongs to the medium-sized sea ship built in southern Fujian, and is the main warship of the Ming Dynasty sailors. The length of the boat is 12-25 meters, and the width is 3.6-6.4 meters. (Korea was greatly influenced by the Ming State, there was the Wanli Korean War in the past, the Ming army sailors entered the DPRK, and then there were coping with the Jianlu, and the Ming army's southern sailors went to the north, and there were ships into Korea)
Needless to say, there are many small rowing boats.
With a little bit of a number, I got more than 300 boats at once, and while I was happy, I found a big trouble, a serious shortage of boatmen.
There is a general lack of shipwrights, the ships are difficult to drive, and even those North Koreans want to leave when they deliver the ships, and the Houjin army will naturally detain the people when they are polite, but when asked, the shipwrights on the big ship say that they are just buddies, not official ship bosses.
At most, the young man drives the boat straight away, and the boat boss is the soul of the ship, able to deal with all kinds of water conditions.
"Why don't you give the boat to the boatman?" The exasperated envoys of the Leng and Kak Du Li factions reproached the Joseon state.
As a result, the reply from the Korean state came: "The shipwrights were afraid of war, afraid of dying, and all fled!" ”
"It's not that we don't support you, we gave the boat, the boatman escaped, we are arresting!" As the DPRK said, it has pushed things to a clean end, and as for when the boatman will be caught, it is a matter of the year of the monkey.
Leng Erli was furious, and slapped the stage vigorously and scolded people, but Kake Duli persuaded him: "Forget it! They are not in harmony with us, and if they run away in the middle of the battle, it will be even more troublesome! ”
Thinking about it, Leng Erli had to go around with Kakdu to catch the strong men, search for boatmen along the coast, and even go to Changsheng Island in the Bohai Inland Sea to find (Phi Island is the Yellow Sea), after seeing the Han people living by the sea, he didn't care about 3721 and forcibly arrested, and finally barely managed to piece together the boatmen of each ship, all concentrated in Xuanchuanpu (the North Korean Sea against Phi Island), before they had time to train, the Ming army sailors killed!
More than 100 warships, large and small, under the command of Huang Long, who had not long been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River, together with the deputy commander-in-chief Zhang Tao and Shen Shikui, marched together, and the battleships came from the sea.
Hearing that the Ming army was coming, the Houhou Jin generals were all frightened, they were not afraid of fighting, but the mode of fighting on the ship and the land battle was a completely different category, being shaken by the wind and waves on the ship, not even an old sailor, even standing on the ground could not stand firmly, seasickness not to mention, even the horse would be seasick, even if the attack on the Phi Island was dizzy and could not adapt.
Kak Duli said: "The only way to do this is to fight, otherwise no one will burn the ship by the Ming, and we will have no excuse!" ”
Everyone is right when they think about it, if North Korea didn't give them a boat, they could still push it on their heads, but they gave the boat, and there is no excuse, and the military law is strict, not a joke!
had to fight hard, and they all got on the ship to meet the Ming army.
The ships set out slowly, even if the Houjin army scolded and whipped, the shipwrights still moved slowly, saying that they were not familiar with the business, and on the sea, whether there was a qualified ship boss was the key.
Half of the battle was lost, and the dispatch was too slow, giving the Ming army the upper hand!
Immediately, the arrows on the Ming ship fired a volley, and the guns and cannons fired in unison, taking advantage of the wind to hit like rain, and the Houjin fleet was in chaos!
The Ming army had a large number of firearms, and there were a large number of ships, accustomed to water warfare, and gave heavy casualties to the Houjin soldiers, and the Houjin soldiers suffered a lot of casualties!
A Westerner in the Ming army was Consales Texeira, the Portuguese artillery commander of Gongsha, who came to China to teach the techniques used to cast cannons, and the Ming Dynasty made him the commander, and this time he also participated in the battle. He placed Western cannons on the bow of a big Qingtou boat, and he personally commanded and bombarded the Nanjing sand boat in the center of the Houjin fleet!
After being shot, the sand boat was shaken, and when the chaos occurred, the boatmen had many jumps to escape, and the Houjin soldiers on the sand boat could not control the ship to make sails, and the sand boat could not move, so they could only stare dryly and watch themselves being beaten without the power to fight back, and they did not dare to jump into the water (not water), so anxious that they whined in their mouths, and the Ming army laughed!
The Ming soldiers drove all kinds of boats, the big ships fired cannons, and the large and small ships all fired three-eyed firearms, and the Jin army shrank their heads after the fight.
Their bows and arrows are powerful, but they are not trained, and they don't know where to fly after releasing their arrows!
Leng Eli and Kake Duli were smart, not on the big boat, but stayed on the boat behind, seeing the scene in front of them, Leng Eli had a dull face and had nothing to say.
Or Kak Duli came to a dead horse as a live horse to the doctor and said: "It's urgent, it's not possible to fight from afar, row all boats hard, kill the other party's boat, and fight each other in close combat, so there is a way to live!" ”
The order was issued, saying, "In today's battle, there is no retreat, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”
So the captives abandoned the big boat that could not be controlled, rowed the small boat bravely, and those who could not find the oars rowed with the plank, braved the arrows, were not afraid of sacrifice, and charged towards the Ming army's sailors!
