Chapter 424 Pig Burst

In fact, the Japanese ronin at the end of the northern line still fired a few shots first.

Although they knew that something was wrong, none of them ran away.

Among these ronin, most of them have been widows, many of them are outlaws who rebelled in the country and escaped after defeat, and there are some down-and-out low-level samurai, and there are still a few who are not afraid of death.

In fact, most of them, although they had already been frightened by the dense Ming fleet on the ocean in the distance, their hands and feet trembled and sweated profusely, but they did not dare to run.

Because, they all know that the red-haired chief recruited them with a high salary, just to let them sell their lives, and since they have received the money, it is their fate to fight to the death.

The money in hand has not yet been hot, and if they collapse without a fight, what awaits them will definitely be a dead end.

On this island, once it becomes a lost dog, it either dies from a red-haired spear or has its head cut off by the natives......

At about midnight, seeing that several large gunboats broke away from the formation and headed towards this side at high speed, some ronins who could fire cannons immediately ran into the gun emplacements on the second floor and the roof, shouting for fire, charging, and filling cannons.

Others hid in the building, scrambling to carry gunpowder and cannons.

More, under the orders of a few small leaders, with swords and spears in hand, squatted in the improvised fortifications behind the beach, staring nervously at the enemy ships, waiting for the Ming army to come ashore and then rushing out to fight......

They all know that although there are many Ming troops, their ability to fight in close combat is not good, and winning more with less is not necessarily an extravagant hope......

If you retreat, you will surely die; War, and maybe there is a glimmer of life!

In my heart, these pirates are right.

Not to mention the Ming army in this period, even if the time goes back a hundred years, when the Ming Kingdom still seems to be very strong, except for a few armies such as the Qi family's army, the vast majority of the Ming army really can't beat them.

As early as the Jiajing period, dozens of Japanese robbers were able to capture several county towns one after another with their swords, burning and killing hundreds of miles along the way......

It's just that today, their luck is bad.

Because, the opponent they met was named Niu Ritian.

It's not that Niu Ri is so naïve that he doesn't want to, but Lin Xiao whispered a few words to him before leaving.

In fact, Lin Xiao only said two sentences.

The first sentence: "Take the initiative to ask for battle, and solve it quickly!" ”

The second sentence: "Pay more food, and don't take prisoners!" ”

Niu Ritian remembered these two sentences.

For more than half a year, the old soldiers have already known that their marquis hates these barbarians who show off their power in our land, whether it is Dongyi or Xiyi, they should be damned!

Therefore, just now, Niu Ritian risked the risk of colliding with the coach to grab the credit, and now, the end of these Japanese is doomed......

At this moment, on the high stern of the "Gray Dolphin", Niu Ritian is holding a monocular, carefully looking at the only watchtower on this projectile island.

It seems that the watchtower is not only very dilapidated but also very small, there are not many gun emplacements on the roof, and there are only two large perforations on the wall of the second floor.

"How many cannons are these?"

A sneer flashed across the corner of Niu Ritian's mouth.

The opponent's firepower is really a bit big.

Unlike the gunboats, which were nimble in turn, this bulky fortified artillery was not small, but it had a fatal flaw - a very narrow angle of fire.

Depending on the amount of charge, the firing range of this gun can be adjusted within a certain range, but the horizontal angle of fire cannot be adjusted, and the number of guns can only make up for the lack of coverage.

Therefore, dealing with such a few cannons is a piece of cake for his brothers.

……

Putting down the binoculars, Niu Ritian looked up at the sky.

Although the sun still did not show its face, God still gave it face, and the strong wind, which raged for many days, finally stopped, and the sea conditions were very good for landing.

Niu Ritian narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, and the ships will speed up." ”

Not long after, the four gunboats pulled away and gradually approached the beach at the end of the northern line in an arctic line.

Among them, the two ships in the middle were slightly behind to attract the attention of the defenders, while the "Gray Dolphin" and the "Beagle" were on the left and right, with the two wings protruding, and were responsible for the main attack.

As we approached the shore, the Japanese on the island began to fire their cannons......

There were still about 1,000 paces to go from the shore, and the Japanese guns were not accurate and numerous, but the huge iron ball crashed into the sea, and the waves were still a bit bluffing.

Braving the surrounding columns of rushing water, the "Grey Dolphin" continued to get closer......

After about five or six hundred paces, Niu Ritian gave an order, and the "Gray Dolphin" and the "Beagle" on the other side immediately slowed down, hit horizontally, and began to fire back.

Suddenly, two boats, one large and one small, and more than 30 long guns opened fire together, deafening, and the sound was terrifying, and one incendiary bomb after another flew to the direction of the watchtower from the left and right directions......

Although it is not accurate at this distance, it is certain that the earth will shake on this small sandbar island.

At this time, the two boats in the middle also opened fire, and more incendiary bombs flew towards the island, but their target was the beach.

The task was already clear, the left and right ships were responsible for fire suppression, and the middle boat, which was a little farther away, was responsible for destroying the beach fortifications on the front and clearing the obstacles for the landing force.

For a time, on the small island at the end of the northern line, thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.

The watchtower was constantly shrouded in smoke and dust, and the long wooden stakes and bamboo strips that the Japanese had built on the beach were all torn to shreds......

The artillery of the Japanese has finally been dumbfired......

Seeing this, Niu Ritian immediately shouted: "Put the dinghy and land!" ”

At the sound of the order, the first batch of twenty sailors plunged down the fishing nets hanging on the side of the side, and in the blink of an eye they all boarded the dinghy.

The dinghy was not large, only a dozen or so people, but each gunboat had two, eight dinghys, and could transport the equivalent of a squadron of troops ashore at a time.

The dinghy was equipped with wooden oars, and every sailor was paddling hard, and within a distance of five hundred meters, a bag of cigarettes could be landed.

The dinghys of the other three boats also emerged one after another, and one by one the black dots rushed forward......

……

As soon as the dinghy hit the beach, the soldiers couldn't wait to jump into the water and run forward with all their might, and the rifles in their hands fired one after another from time to time......

Here, it is already a dead end for shore artillery, and there is no need to worry about iron balls falling from the sky, and next, it is time for them to perform.

Three-three system, they will too.

Soon, the fighters, in groups of three, pounced on the fortifications like a whirlwind......

The sound of gunfire lasted for about ten minutes.

When the second group of sailors had just come ashore, a red battle flag peculiar to the captive army was slowly raised on the roof of the watchtower.

No captives!

Of these three hundred would-be robbers, none of them surrendered - not that they didn't want to surrender, but that Zhao Ritian's sailors didn't want to be taken prisoner at all.

At first, there were people who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but the soldiers did not hesitate, and when they saw someone, they shot them.

After the killing, the Japanese robbers who were squatting in the fortifications also understood that they had encountered a ruthless character today.

These people are not here to ask for land, they are here to kill people!

"Onboard!"

In desperation, nearly 200 bald-headed widows jumped out of the fortifications, and all the pigs burst out!

It's a spectacular scene!

It came at the right time!

Now, it's easier.

In the face of a large number of shirtless, almost bald but strangely short pigtails, when they pounced on them with swords and screams, the soldiers saw the blood of their guns and guns and were simply neat!
