Chapter 424: Night Attack
The south wind is getting stronger and stronger, and Gong Qianbai led 100,000 sailors through the sea, relying on the North Star and the Big Dipper to determine the direction, and relying on the compass to guide the direction; And every ship has a light hanging to prevent the fleet from getting separated.
"Approaching Kyushu Island ahead!"
"Quickly order the whole army to extinguish the lights, quickly sail into the inland sea of Kyushu Island, and then seize the port of Saga!"
"Sail to the Northeast, go against the wind, get off the sails, paddle!"
……
The navigation lights on the eight hundred warships were extinguished one after another, and the fleet sailed quickly on the water with the faint starlight. Tonight's action is too important, and every link must not be lost, otherwise it will be a waste of chickens and rice.
However, it seems that their luck is much better than that of the Mongols, and they have not encountered a typhoon in the East China Sea, let alone in the inland sea of Kyushu Island, although the speed of the headwind is slow, but there are more than a hundred sergeants in each warship, and the speed of taking turns to paddle is not much slower.
"The first three miles is the port of Saga, Li Cunxiao, ready to take the land and surround the port of Saga separately, and no one is allowed to escape! Remember, since we're troops sent from Kyoto, don't reveal your true identity just yet! ”
Gong Qianbai didn't want to fall short, he had to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. And if someone from Saga Port went north to ventilate the news, it would be a very big blow to tonight's plans.
"Yes!"
Gong Qianbai, Tan Daoji, Li Mi and Li Cunxiao were on the first boat, and when they were half a mile away from the shore, two lights were lit on the stern pole of the head boat, and the herald used the lights to convey the military order to the ships behind.
Now that you have reached your destination, you don't have to shy away from the lights, and the light transmission is also a must.
"Whoa—"
Eight hundred warships docked one after another, and found their respective commanders according to the guidance of the lights.
In addition to Li Mi and Yang Zaixing, who guarded Gong Qianbai, Li Cunxiao, Qingji, Yang Kan, Zhang Hao, Han Baohu, Lu Bu, Yu Liyan, and Yang Youji each took 3,000 people to surround Saga Port, and Tan Daoji and Guo Ziyi each took 35,000 people to Kyushu Island to ambush behind the 200,000 Japanese slave army.
Half an hour later, Li Cunxiao came back and replied: "Everyone in Saga Port has been controlled!" Someone has been sent to search around, regardless of the military and civilian control, to ensure that no one will leak the whereabouts of our army! ”
At the beginning of the war, any flaw may turn into victory, so there can be no carelessness; However, Miyachibai promised Mataro that he could not implicate the Japanese civilians.
Then Gong Qianbai climbed the mountain under the protection of Li Cunxiao, and just looked down to see the camp of the Japanese slave army.
"The camp of the Japanese slave army has begun to be chaotic!"
Li Mi put down the clairvoyant mirror and pointed down, "There are more and more fires, and someone is ready to assemble!" ”
"Then Xu Shiji's side should also start!"
Gong Qianbai said quietly, and at the same time looked up in the direction of Busan.
"The fire is on!"
Li Mi suddenly said nervously, "The fire ship has already been ignited, and with the current wind on the sea, it must be within three miles of the camp of the Japanese slave army!" I'm curious now, how did Xu Shiji calculate that he could detonate the oil and gunpowder on the ship when the ship arrived at the Unu Rao Water Village! ”
Gong Qianbai said with a smile: "General Xu Shiji is quite wise, he must have a way to make the boat travel three miles downwind after igniting the fire!" Like what...... Trequebus! ”
Li Mi patted his head: "Why didn't I think of it!" Depending on the speed at which the arquebus burns and the speed at which the boat travels, it is indeed possible to ignite the ship at regular intervals! ”
"Boom, boom—"
The two were talking, the boat at the foot of the mountain had hit the water village, and the five hundred ships fell into the cabin at the moment when they hit the water village, and the whole ship suddenly exploded, and then the flying oil and hay quickly ignited the entire water village and all the warships.
"Looks like we guessed wrong! Xu Shiji did not want to ignite the ship regularly, but to use the force of the ship's impact to shake off the fire rope! Hahaha! ”
The mountain was screaming, and Gong Qianbai and Li Mi were waiting excitedly.
The gunpowder not only destroyed the warships and the water village, but also blew up the Japanese slave soldiers who came to fight the fire, and at the same time sprayed the licorice and fire oil very evenly.
The strong combustion power of fire oil has been recognized by many famous military generals in the Tang and Song dynasties, and now it has shown unprecedented power under the play of Xu Shiji; Whether it is splashed on the shore or in the water, it will not affect the burning of the oil and will not be extinguished if it sticks to the clothes.
Those who jumped into the water to survive were shot with bows and arrows by Xu Shiji's subordinates who drove the warship around.
Those who ran to the mountains to survive were immediately wiped out by Tan Daoji and Guo Ziyi.
There were almost no prisoners in this war, the Mongols had twice conquered the Japanese slaves, and then several waves of envoys sent by the Yuan Dynasty to Japan were all killed by the Japanese slaves, this enmity has been endless, the Japanese slave army hated the Yuan Dynasty people to death, and the Yuan Dynasty people hated the Japanese slave army to death.
Again, what time is it? How can I spare time to capture the captives!
"There is a great wave of Unu coming up the mountain!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Tan Daoji said coldly.
……
When the pre-dawn darkness recedes, the light returns to earth.
The water village of the Japanese slave army, which had been burning for half the night, was already scorched black at this moment, and Gong Qianbai was listening to the reports of Xu Shiji, Guo Ziyi and Tan Daoji in an open space.
"In this fire, half of the 200,000 Japanese slave soldiers were directly killed or burned, 70,000 or 80,000 were drowned in the water or solved by us, and more than 20,000 were solved in the mountains.
"It's a pity that the warships of the Japanese slaves were exactly what we lacked, and they were all burned to charcoal with a fire! This is not only a loss for the Japanese slaves, but also for us - of course, it is worth it compared to the victory! ”
"The rest of the seizures, except for some weapons, have basically been scrapped!"
"A closer look has been made and no civilian casualties have been found!"
"It's already light, sooner or later someone will find out about the situation here, we have to start the next step early!"
……
Gong Qianbai listened quietly, and when they were finished, Gong Qianbai spoke:
"War is like this, so we have to become stronger, and we can't have the one who is bullied by others!"
He thought of the world before him, where tens of thousands of compatriots had been wantonly bullied by the powerful enemies around him for hundreds of years; In the Ming Dynasty before that, the coastal plagues also ruined many Han families.
"General Xu is responsible for cleaning up this battlefield, you can dispose of everything here yourself, just don't implicate the civilians, just return it to your Korean state after you are done, and you can't do without your guards over there!"
He also said to Guo Ziyi: "General Guo, you take your subordinates 35,000 people to sweep Kyushu Island as soon as possible, but those who are unwilling to surrender don't have to force it, just go straight to the shark!" ”
"General Tan and I'm going to fight Heiankyo now!"
