"The officers and men of the army are still stronger than the navy, and they dare to show their bayonets at critical times, this is the spirit of the imperial army that we have always emphasized......

On the East Asia, Gonggong Wei said this sentence when he witnessed the army soldiers scrambling to be the first and hundreds of small boats charging towards the island occupied by the Japanese like dragon boats.

Wang Ermazi, the staff adjutant of the base camp on the side, and also the official of the father-in-law's entry record, hurriedly took a pen to record it, so that it could be released in the latest internal reference of the base camp for the officers and men of the imperial army to study.

The courageous spirit of the officers and men of the army really encouraged the imperial army to go up and down, and the officers and men of the navy who watched the battle could not help cheering for the army warriors on the boat.

The Japanese soldiers on the island were also frightened by the Ming troops pouring in from all directions, but they did not surrender, but stopped the landing of the Ming army with arquebuses in their hands under the command of the leader Taoyanmen.

There was a loud bang on the surface of the sea, and white smoke filled the air.

After striking each other, Momoyanmon ordered his subordinates to wield their blades and prepare to break through desperately. This situation was soon discovered by Shen Shikui and Li Yanzhao, who were in command of the front-line operations of the army, and the two took different countermeasures.

Shen Shikui waved his flag and ordered the officers and men of the first brigade to converge and concentrate their firepower to deal with the breakthrough of the Japanese soldiers. Li Yanzhao ordered the attack to be stopped, waving a flag to the navy and asking for artillery cover.

Gonggong Wei did not comment on the approach of the two, and seeing that now, he has confirmed that the number of Japanese soldiers is not only not as high as a few hundred, but only more than a hundred.

This made my father-in-law a little headache, how could more than 100 people "decorate" the victory of more than 1,000 people.

The Japanese soldiers' forced breakthrough did not succeed, because they needed to seize the Ming army's boats, but the direction they chose was Li Yanzhao's troops, who ordered the landing to be stopped, which frustrated the plan to seize the ships.

The Ming infantry from several other directions had already approached, and their commander was very clever in uniting the boats, and also cut off the idea of seizing the ship from Taoyanmen.

As a last resort, Taoyanmen had to lead his subordinates to defend the island. They resisted frantically with ether swords and iron spears, and the reefs all over the place were also hid by Japanese soldiers.

However, due to the influence of the flooding tide of the seawater, it was difficult for some officers and men to fire their guns, which made it difficult to end the battle in a short time.

Sanada Ichiro also saw that there were only more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and the strength of the first brigade and his father-in-law's personal guard battalion was several times that of the other party, but he was unable to eliminate this group of Japanese soldiers, so he couldn't help but be annoyed, waved the flag and ordered Shen Shikui's troops to attack, and ordered the second and third brigades to disembark and participate in the battle.

At this time, the banner of Gonggong Wei came from the East Asia, and the attack was suspended.

Puzzled, Ichiro Sanada took a boat to the East Asia and asked why the attack had stopped.

"Sanada, you've been with me for years, don't you know that I'm the most reluctant to trade a soldier's life for victory? You must know that every soldier of the Imperial Army is the precious wealth of my Emperor, and they cannot be sacrificed easily! ”

Dissatisfied with Sanada's practice of exchanging the lives of soldiers for victory, Father-in-law Wei pointed to the small island occupied by the Japanese soldiers, "It is difficult to trap beasts, and there are many reefs in this place, and boats are vulnerable. Those Japanese soldiers are short in stature and familiar with water, and if they hide among the reefs and wait for me to go to the island, and suddenly ambush them, the officers and soldiers who land on the island will suffer great losses... I can't row, I can't row. ”

The father-in-law shook his head.

Ichiro Sanada was ashamed of his guilt and asked his father-in-law how to deal with this group of robbers if he did not attack.

The father-in-law smiled: "It's better to be tempted and captured." After speaking, he ordered someone to call Akashi Michito, who had surrendered before.

Soon, Akashi Michiyu approached the Japanese island in a small boat and shouted: "Listen to the Japanese people on the island, you have been surrounded by groups, and your lives are in the shackle!" Now, the Imperial Army has entrusted me to bring you a word, if any of you have committed a crime or killed someone in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you explain the matter, the Imperial Army will give you a way out! Otherwise, you will all die, die! ”

Taoyanmen felt familiar when he heard the Japanese shouting, and looked at the reef probe where he was hiding, and it wasn't the scattered Akashi Taoist friends who recruited them!

He immediately shouted and asked Akashi why he surrendered to the Ming army, and Akashi replied truthfully, and said that the imperial army was very good to him and to his subordinates, and that they were no longer working for Murayama's father and son, but had become a member of the glorious Ming Imperial Army.

"Taoyanmen, don't think about it anymore, you have also seen that there are more than 10,000 imperial troops and more than 100 large and small warships, and you alone will definitely not be able to hold it. If you continue to resist, there is only one way to die! ”

At this time, the small banner of the Ming army beside Akashi Daoyou also shouted: "The imperial army treats prisoners preferentially!" ”

Nani?

Taoyanmen didn't understand Chinese, so Akashi Michido hurriedly explained it to him. Momoyanmon was quite moved, but he was very hesitant, he was worried that Akashi Daoyou would betray him, in that case, once he surrendered, he would be beheaded by the Ming army.

"Don't worry, give them a little time, anyway, we have time."

Grandpa Wei is not in a hurry, the tide will not rise for a while and a half, and besides, they have been trapped in the peach smoke gate for several days, and the tide has not risen.

No, more than an hour later, a big black boat and two fishing boats suddenly appeared on the sea, and the three boats found that the Ming Dynasty warships in front of them did not turn around and run, but rushed in frantically, and at first glance they came to rescue Taoyanmen.

"These robbers are righteous."

Gonggong Wei praised it, and then ordered the navy to immediately sink the three Japanese rescue boats. Wang Dali, the chief soldier of the navy, personally commanded the battle, but listening to the rumbling of cannons and the sound of guns, the ships were gathered, the firearms were thundered, and the three Japanese rescue boats were sunk after a pillar of incense.

The officers and men of the navy then stepped forward to kill the drowning soldiers, killing 94 enemies and taking 35 prisoners. After interrogation, it turned out that the purpose of Murayamabe, who came from the Ryukyus, was to rescue the stranded and trapped Momoyanmon.

It's just that these Japanese people didn't know that they were surrounded by the Ming army in Taoyanmen, and they couldn't retreat after discovering it, so they had to come to relieve the siege, and they ended up defeated.

The fighting Japanese soldiers on the sea in the distance all saw it, and saw that their rescue ship Sanbune had no survivors, and the morale of the Japanese soldiers was suddenly discharged, and Taoyanmen knew that there was no way out, so he shouted that he was willing to surrender. However, some diehards did not surrender with Taoyanmen, but chose to commit suicide.

Shen Shikui's troops were ordered to go to the island to surrender, and captured 97 prisoners, and rescued 23 plundered fishermen. In addition, 2 traitors who led the way for the Japanese soldiers were also arrested.

On the Ming side, there were no casualties, only 11 people were wounded, which can be described as a very low price.

After hearing this, Huang Chengxuan, who was far away in Fuzhou, sighed and said: "The battle of Dongsha, fifty-one years old, I have not seen this immortal pawn, not breaking half a arrow, not fighting grain, not protracted time, going to such as Zhenye, returning to the dolphin, quickly completed, difficult and easy; Let Yu and Qi regenerate, and they should also be approved. ”

After sighing, I looked at the battle report again, and couldn't help but be stunned: What? Eunuch Wei personally went into battle, and beheaded 9 Japanese soldiers?!
