Chapter 527: Using Soldiers Like Ghosts and Gods
"My lord, the lower officials have followed the adults and learned a lot of truths and lessons, and they can go to Shudi." Zheng Qian recommended himself again.
Yan Chengjin's face was calm: "In the eyes of this official, you are no different from them. ”
Suddenly, Zheng Gan's face was red, and a tingling pain came from his chest, obviously being hit.
Jiang Wen and the others didn't dare to speak out, Lord Yan has always been strict, and they know it.
Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought, after April, he would give His Majesty a roster.
It means that within a month, the affairs of Shu will be investigated.
What happened in Shu to make Min Jue like this? No one knows.
Although it is mentioned in the sparse recital, it cannot be heard and believed, and there may be major events, but it is not accurate.
"My lord, the lower officials can also go." Jiang Wen bowed slightly and pursed his lips.
"This official examines you, and you go to Shudi, how do you check it?"
Zheng Qian was at a loss, Lord Yan's exam questions would not be too simple.
"The lower officials thoroughly check the officials on the list one by one."
"I'm afraid your life is in danger, there is no yamen in Shu, you are alone, how to investigate?"
Yan Chengjin shook his head in disappointment.
Officials went to inspect the localities, and the imperial court could only send two attendant officials to arrange post stations along the way.
Jiang Wen and the three of them looked at each other, when they arrived at the place, shouldn't they investigate directly?
Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and looked at Zheng Qian: "You go to the Northwest Great Wall, pass on the order of this official, Fang Xue goes to Shudi, and you supervise the construction of the Great Wall." ”
The construction of the Great Wall of Alxa was completed, and the northwest defense line of the Ming Dynasty was like an iron wall.
The displaced people were accustomed to building the Great Wall in exchange for food, and there would be no more chaos.
It happened that Fang Xue was transferred to Shudi, so the arrangement was appropriate.
Zheng Qian couldn't imagine that he could be replaced like this, so he hurriedly bowed: "The lower officials obey the order." ”
……
Upper Retort Island, a military camp at the foot of Peng Mountain.
The flags swayed in the sea breeze, lay in wait for miles, the muddy yellow gravel was dyed red, and the disgusting smell of blood permeated the surroundings.
The battle continues.
The island nation continued to fight wars, and through silver mines, it traded iron tools with surrounding vassal countries.
Satsuma shares a border with an island nation and had to be armed.
In contrast, the Ryukyus were isolated islands with no opportunity to trade with their neighbors, and the barren silver mines made it extremely difficult to trade iron tools on a large scale.
Okubo's army, with its superiority in armor and weapons, gained the upper hand.
Seeing that there was a tendency to retreat, the adjutant general came to persuade: "Lord Wang, do you want to retreat?" ”
"No, although there is a defeat, it is not necessarily impossible to win."
The deputy general is called Liu Jin, and he is a military general arranged by Dong Wen to be next to Wang Shouren.
He is brave and good at fighting, and among the many military generals of the Ryukyus, he is outstanding.
"Lord Wang, if you continue to fight like this, you will be killed."
Looking at the soldiers of the Ryukyus, they fell one after another, Wang Shouren was unmoved: "Without the order of this official, you are not allowed to take a step back!" ”
Liu Jin gritted his teeth, and as far as he could see, there were soldiers slaughtered as far as his eyes could see.
The two armies fought together, and neither firearms nor heavy crossbows could be used.
Coco Dong looked at Wang Shouren and said anxiously: "Lord Wang?!" ”
Wang Shouren's face was calm.
"Master Dong, this official has important matters to hand over to you, and it is about defeat!"
"Lord Wang, please speak!"
"The Satsuma Peninsula is separated from Kamiyoshi Island by the sea, and the people of Satsuma must have come by boat, and this official wants you to burn their ships."
When Coco Dong heard this, he felt that it made sense, but he felt that something was wrong.
If Okubo wins this battle, they will all be exterminated, so what else do they need to ship for?
"My lord, why don't you quit?"
Wang Shouren insisted: "Time is running out, go quickly." ”
If you really retreat, you won't be able to win if you give Satsuma a chance to recuperate.
The difference between the two armies lies in the half-day rations.
The soldiers of Satsuma got up in the middle of the night to fight, and most of the day had passed, and they were already empty and exhausted.
Although the Ryukyus were not well equipped, they still had strength, and the soldiers of the Ryukyus were poorly prepared, but they were not much better.
Giving Okubo a chance to rest his army and arrange his troops will not only make the battle more difficult, but also make the soldiers who died before die in vain.
In a panic, Coco Dong led two hundred soldiers to the northern coast.
At this time, Okubo brandished the sword, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After fighting all night, their stomachs were already empty, but the soldiers of the Ryukyus bit them to the death, and even if they showed their decline, they would not withdraw their troops.
Satsuma's soldier's hand shaking as he held his weapon trembled, and his stomach was hot.
Cold sweat broke out and ran down the bridge of their noses, and they felt their eyes heavy, as if they were going to pass out at any moment.
The soldiers of the Ryukyus were tired, but they were much stronger than the Samo.
At the moment, there is a bit of hunger.
Wang Shouren's keen eyes swept over, and he saw the change in the situation, and shouted: "From this moment on, behead the enemy with one and give two taels of silver!" ”
Killing the red-eyed soldier is like a jackal hearing the call of the leader, and his momentum changes completely, and he slashes at the enemy's head without regard for his life.
The situation on the battlefield has obviously undergone earth-shaking changes.
The originally weak Ryukyu soldiers were like being beaten with chicken blood.
Okubo swung his sword and slashed through the chest of a Ryukyu soldier.
He crouched down and found that he had revealed half of his uneaten rations.
Suddenly stunned, everything started from the fire on Peng Mountain.
"Withdraw!"
At this time, it is the best policy to withdraw troops and repair.
The soldiers of Satsuma were pardoned, and they threw away their armor and fled to the coast.
Okubo didn't like to fight either, so he got on his horse and ran to the north coast.
Wang Shouren naturally couldn't let him succeed, and ordered his soldiers: "Chase quickly!" ”
There were two taels of silver as a reward, and the soldiers were all in the mood, and they were still unsatisfied, like hunters watching their prey escape.
More than 10,000 people chased after them on Shangyong Island, and the soldiers behind were killed, but the soldiers who ran in front came to the coast smoothly.
Okubo was stunned, looking at the four three-masted ships and dozens of small ships on the sea, blazing.
Despair!
The despair that spread from the deepest part of his heart, he actually felt like he had fallen into a trap.
Every step is counting!
The soldiers threw away their armor and ran to the shore thinking they could escape, and were overwhelmed with grief when they saw the raging fire.
Although there were more than 1,000 soldiers in the Ryukyus.
But before they came, they prepared firearms and heavy crossbows, and they were well armed.
I never thought that I would die here.
"It's down! Ben will fall! ”
Okubo threw away his weapon, took off his armor, and threw it aside.
The defeat was like a mountain, and the soldiers followed suit.
Wang Shouren got on the horse and shook his head: "Shoot the arrows and kill them all!" ”
He is talking about the study of the heart, these people are not sincere to surrender, but forced by the situation, want to compromise and find another opportunity.
On this island, the slightest mistake will be a complete loss.
He couldn't gamble on Okubo's goodness with the lives of 10,000 people in the Ryukyus, so he could only kill them all.
The sky was full of arrows and heavy crossbows, and the soldiers of Satsuma Province tried to pick up the armor, but found that it was too late.
The heavy crossbows and firearms that had been brought to deal with the Ryukyus were now aimed at the soldiers of Satsuma Province.
A heavy crossbow, as thick as a flat pole.
It was incredibly fast and shot through Okubo's chest.
In a matter of moments, the shore was bleeding and red, and no one could stand up again.
Coco Dong's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and he ...... Win again!
Wang Shouren is really a god of war!
Da Ming has such a powerful person!
Wang Shouren ordered: "Take off their armor and weapons, distribute them to the soldiers, and raise the armament." ”
Coco Dong and the lieutenant general were very shocked.
At first, when they went to sea, they had almost nothing but large ships and rations.
But now, there are firearms, heavy crossbows, military rations, and armor.
A weak army has been transformed into a well-equipped army.
Wang Shouren took a deep breath: "Two days later, attack the Satsuma King City!" ”
