Chapter 534: Too Much Deception!
The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and the phrase is really apt to describe Sanchez.
If according to common sense, Sanchez's inference is not wrong, the Ming expedition to Luzon, the powerful lineup composed of twenty-four new ships and a bunch of auxiliary fleets is indeed very awesome.
There are 100 cannons on a lucky ship, and 10 cannons are more than 1,000 cannons, and there is no problem in turning over the land in one salvo - after all, a single round of cannonballs is more than 1,000 shells.
Assuming that each ship carried 1,000 shells, it was only the number of 10 rounds of fire, and it was impossible for it to last long.
And the landing behavior of the Southern Imperial Forest Army made Sanchez think that his judgment was correct - if it wasn't for the lack of shells, they would have landed in such a hurry? Where is the fleet that just burst into the air?
It was also based on the above two points that Sanchez decided to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming army to launch an attack first, at least to bring back the situation of being passively beaten in front.
Sanchez's judgment was still wrong.
Sanchez's judgment was based on previous intelligence and the experience of naval battles he had encountered.
But is Daming the same opponent Sanchez has faced before?
Those barbarians in the West have not been coming down from the trees long enough for a war of tens of thousands of people to be called a major battle.
And the Ming Dynasty inherited from the Central Plains Farming Hall, and the opening of the film is in units of 100,000, and even the opening of a million army is not undone.
The most important thing is that since Emperor Chongzhen began to vigorously search for missionaries and Western barbarians who could speak human words, the manpower that had originally sought out news for Western barbarians such as Spain and the Netherlands suffered a devastating blow.
Those barbarians who understand the official language of the Ming Dynasty and can communicate with the Ming people may have the opportunity to get information but not have the slightest chance to send it out, after all, the protection of the three layers and the outer three layers in the Royal Academy is really difficult for people to find loopholes.
And those ordinary barbarians who were not brought to the Royal Academy did not understand the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and they had no opportunity to contact the military information of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the monitoring of the Jinyi Guard, even if the news passed on by the fate, it belonged to the kind of information that the Ming Dynasty didn't care about at all.
Moreover, in order to ensure that the Luzon barbarians could be killed at one time this time, the South China Sea Fleet, in addition to the 24 main warships carrying a large amount of ammunition, also had eight supply ships specially carrying artillery shells and two supply ships specially carrying firearms and projectiles.
If it is a little difficult to plow the whole of Luzon with the number of shells carried by the main battleships and supply ships, it is no problem to flatten a few hills or blow up half of Luzon.
It was in this wrong situation that the recruits Egg Wang Ergou and others finally ushered in the first actual battle in their lives.
It's impossible not to be nervous, and it's impossible not to be afraid, but the two general flags and the hundred bigwigs have a hangy look that makes those recruits inexplicably relaxed.
When the sharp whistle sounded, Wang Ergou had no memory of being scared at all.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, it is estimated that it is not as terrifying as the general flag of the two living Hades? I don't believe it when I kill two dogs!
As for the enemy who began to faintly emerge on the opposite side, Wang Ergou couldn't take care of it at this time - the most important thing was to ensure that his movements were not deformed in the whistle, otherwise when the whips of the two living Hades fell on his body, it would be better to directly let the enemy on the opposite side die!
At the first whistle, Wang Ergou began to mechanically start the actions he had trained countless times - checking the firecracker, opening the chamber cover, loading the projectile, closing the lid, holding the gun, and then waiting for the next whistle to sound.
At the second whistle, Wang Ergou snapped his fingers and shot out the projectile in the firecracker, and then repeated the last action.
The third whistle blows, fires, the fourth whistle blows, reloads again, and so on until the whistle stops.
The whistle does not stop completely, even if a knife falls from the sky and an earthquake begins on the ground, the action that should be completed must be completed, otherwise you will be punished.
Li Yunlong said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, this sentence is applicable many times, but it is not applicable to this war between the Ming Empire and Spain.
From equipment to numbers to the training of non-commissioned soldiers, the Spanish soldiers who were completely crushed by the Ming Dynasty could not be said to have no courage, even if they dared to advance even in the face of huge casualties.
However, this is of no avail.
As it turned out, when the casualties were so large that few armies could carry themselves without collapsing, the Spanish army was no different.
The Spanish army, which was violently beaten by the Southern Imperial Forest Army and other Southern Zhili Zhuwei, chose to retreat strategically after throwing corpses on the ground, intending to defend the first line of defense.
Franco's army withdrew, and Liu Wu of Baihu shouted with a smile: "What's the matter? Those Franco-machine barbarians aren't scary, are they? ”
Liu Wu's words ushered in a burst of laughter, especially Wang Ergou's voice was the most prominent - those Franco-machine barbarians were too useless, with long red eyebrows and green eyes, coupled with deep eye sockets, they looked as scary as little ghosts in hell.
But in reality, these Franco-barbarians would have been shot and knocked to the ground, and they would have screamed, though I don't know what they were screaming.
Not only that, but Wang Ergou, who was originally worried about being shot by the barbarian firecracker, is now completely not worried.
In terms of range, the barbarian's firearm is not as far as the firearm in his hand; In terms of the rate of fire, as long as two rows of people on his side take turns to shoot, a dense barrage can be formed, and it is difficult for the barbarians to advance.
Even if there were one or two stray bullets from the barbarians, they basically wouldn't be of any use, and they couldn't penetrate the armor on their bodies at all, and they were worried about wool.
Sanchez, who was staying on the hillside from a distance to observe here, also saw the scene of the battle just now through the telescope, which also made Sanchez's heart half cold.
Acuña, who was beside him, muttered quietly, "What kind of army is this?" Has God abandoned his loyal people? ”
Duke van Eisener, who is far away in Taiwan, made the same exclamation.
Aisener did not fight with the Ming navy once or twice, and he fought with Nanjuyi in the early days when he was in Penghu.
At that time, the Ming navy was stronger than that of Huazi, but the strength was limited - the ships were small, the artillery power was not enough, and if it wasn't for the large number, Aisenel would have even been sure to capture the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.
But all this is useless, the original defeat is changed, the best opportunity to take the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty has been lost, and he has no choice but to turn to occupy Taiwan.
Later, there was no news from Nanjuyi, and when Ai Sener was just planning to occupy Penghu again and then go further to the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty to reap benefits, he directly confronted Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea fleet.
Of course, although Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Fleet is many times stronger than when Nan Juyi was on the coast of Fujian, if he really tries hard, it is still a little insufficient.
It's just that in line with the principle of making money with harmony, especially when the number of people and the number of warships are not superior, Aisenel still chose to tolerate some.
But this time, because the Spaniards intervened, especially after the news of the Spanish massacre of the Ming people in Luzon reached Taiwan, Eisenel knew that his opportunity had come.
There is more time to contact with the Ming Dynasty, even if there is more time to fight each other than the time of trade, Aisenel has gradually figured out some of the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and knows that the king of the Ming Dynasty is a master who refuses to suffer.
If the people of the Ming Dynasty in Luzon were slaughtered, the king of the Ming Dynasty would definitely retaliate back, and then Zheng Zhilong's fleet would definitely be transferred.
After obtaining the twenty-four main warships of the Daming South China Sea Fleet and a large number of auxiliary warships to conquer Luzon, Eisenel strengthened his judgment.
The main force is exhausted, what other forces can stop him on the southeast coast of the Ming Kingdom? As long as you fight for a certain number of casualties to knock out a few of the Ming country's coastal defense artillery and seize a landing port, the rest is up to you.
Eisenel even planned to inform the East India Company that they should work together with the Spaniards in Luzon, or at least drag Zheng Zhilong's fleet in Luzon.
Like Sanchez, Eisenel's intelligence is actually a bit backward - after Japan closed off the country, the Netherlands did not have a fleet to the north, and naturally he did not know that the Ming Dynasty still had an East China Sea Fleet stationed in Denglai.
The main reason is that the East China Sea Fleet is still hanging around the waters east of North Korea, and has never been to Fujian at all.
And in the past two years, because he has not really fought with Zheng Zhilong's fleet, although Aisener knew that Zheng Zhilong's fleet was difficult, he did not expect that the weapons and equipment of the Ming Navy would be updated so quickly.
And for the sake of safety, he asked the Netherlands for military support as early as possible, and the new fleet plus Taiwan's existing forces can also make a big profit.
How much should I swallow? This is a problem.
If you swallow too much, neither the domestic nor those East India Company guys will be satisfied, but if you swallow less, you will not be satisfied.
Anyway, it's a very tangling question.
The commander of the East China Sea Fleet, Nan Juyi, was also entangled, the lean little old man's right hand holding the chair was faintly pale because of the force, and his left hand was constantly changing kung fu moves such as eagle claws and tiger claws in his sleeves.
It's really too annoying and too bullying, Zheng Zhilong's bastard not only killed a fleet of Honanites before him, but also swaggered to send someone back to dedicate it to the Son of Heaven.
If it's just like that, it's okay, but this bastard actually sent someone to tell him that he didn't need to thank him?
Your surname Zheng is going to fight the Franco-machine barbarian of Luzon, not the Henan barbarian of Daliuqiu, and you robbed the old man's head and sent someone to say that you don't need to thank you?
Thank you, old man!
But the person in front of him who was sent to deliver the message was only a hundred households, and he was a dignified governor of the East China Sea, should he be embarrassed by a hundred households?
It's a shame to say it!
Nan Juyi, who forced to endure this breath, waved his hand and ordered the messenger who sent the message to get out, and then said to the generals of the East China Sea Fleet in the cabin: "There is nothing to say this time, since the surname Zheng is one step ahead, it is also his ability, and the people of our East China Sea Fleet are lost!"
But just a naval battle can't decide anything, as soon as possible, destroy the Honan barbarians in the Great Ryukyu, as long as he Zheng Zhilong destroys the Franco-machine barbarians in Luzon, and then the old man will take you to Luzon to help him Zheng Zhilong! ”
The generals in the cabin all understood Nan Juyi's thoughts at this time, and the taste of being slapped in the face was really uncomfortable.
If Zheng Zhilong is now a pirate or some other identity, the East China Sea Fleet will be happy to teach him how to behave, but this Zheng Zhilong, like his own group, is the navy of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no way to do it, if Zheng Zhilong is angry, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will definitely not spare his own people - what do you want to do when the East China Sea Fleet attacks the South China Sea Fleet, which is also the Ming Navy?
Rebellion?
After a long time, Nan Juyi could barely suppress the anger in his heart, and asked the generals in the cabin: "Now let's talk about it, how to enter the Great Ryukyu?" Penghu has been down, is it directly from Luermen? Or how? ”
Qian Haocheng, a guerrilla general of the East China Sea Fleet, bowed down and said: "My lord, I think that I can divide the troops into three routes, or even divide the troops into four routes, and encircle the Great Ryukyus. ”
Nan Juyi sighed and said, "Go on." ”
Qian Haocheng said: "My lord, my East China Sea Fleet has twenty-four new-style Fu ships, one of which can be used as two Henan barbarians.
And the fleet of the Hotanan barbarians in the Great Ryukyu has only more than ten ships left, which is far less than our East China Sea Fleet.
However, the places of Xiaoliuqiutou, Doroman, Shamaqitou, and Zhuqian were able to allow the Dutch barbarians to escape from the Great Ryukyu.
Therefore, he thought that it was better to surround it with ten rules, trap the port where the Honanan barbarians might go to sea, and then send the guards to land and fight? ”
Nan Juyi nodded, but then asked, "What about the others?" What do you think? Why don't you just say it? ”
Zhou Liangzhi, who was also a guerrilla general, obviously did not agree with Qian Haocheng's method, and objected: "Lord Qiyu, I think that Penghu is in my hands, it is better to attack Beigang directly, and then send guards to land after taking Beigang Port, and then divide the troops into two routes, one south and one north, to eliminate the barbarians on the island." ”
After discussing for a long time and there was no final result, Nan Juyi became more and more unhappy in his heart, and simply ordered: "In this case, the soldiers are divided into two ways." One way to the North Port, the other way to cruise the sea, to prevent these Honan barbarians from escaping from the sea! ”
After the generals all came out of the cabin, Nan Juyi swept the cup on the table in front of him to the ground and scolded angrily: "The surname Zheng is not a son!" It's too much of a deception! His mother! ”
Nan Juyi's personal soldiers simply lowered their heads, as if they hadn't heard Nan Juyi's random scolding-the Admiral, a literati who was angry with Zheng Zhilong, and scolded everyone in a mess, which shows how much Zheng Zhilong has done this.
The angry Nan Juyi even thought about whether he should write to the emperor and the governor's office of the five armies and sue the surnamed Zheng.
