Chapter 402: Come Here!
Now the question in front of Kobayakawa Takashi is very simple, to fight or not to fight.
If you don't fight, it's very simple, then retreat, retreat to Seoul, and fight the Ming army in Seoul. If you hit, where to fight. Whether this place can be played, Kobayakawa Takashi doesn't think that Wangke inkstone can fight.
The stone ridge has been lost, and if you fight in Wangke Yan, there will be no way to fight.
After pondering for a long time, Kobayakawa Takakei said directly: "Retreat!" ”
The Japanese retreated, and the Ming Dynasty successfully broke through the Biho Pavilion and went straight to Gyeonggi Province, targeting Seoul, where the great battle between the Ming and the Japanese would unfold, and the two sides gathered a total of more than 300,000 troops on the Seoul front.
While the two sides were preparing for the battle in Seoul, the Damyeong Navy Division launched the Battle of Busan.
During the period of the Royal Naval Division, Qi Jin looked at Yu Zhigao and said: "I will go ashore with the marines, and after taking Busan, the fleet will dock at Tsushima Island." ”
"I will go straight along Sangju and Chungju to Gyeonggi-do in North Korea."
"The Japanese will definitely not be willing to accept such a defeat, they will definitely organize men and horses to fight us, you must know this. There is no room for mistakes in the water master, you and I know this. ”
"Remove all the pirates on Tsushima Island, and leave not a single one behind, so that there will be no accidents."
Yu Zhigao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I know what to do, after taking Busan, I will stop the main force of the fleet on Tsushima Island, and at the same time I will send someone to hang around the Japanese Kou." ”
Nodding, Qi Jin said with a smile: "When we destroy the Japanese in Korea, we can send troops to the Japanese country." ”
Since the fall of Tsushima Island, the people of Busan City have been terrified, and the Ming fleet has been roaming the open sea all day, causing great pressure on the Japanese in Busan. Letters for help sent to Seoul have been sent one after another, but no news has come so far.
Garrisoned in Busan Castle was Shimazu Yoshihiro's Fourth Army.
Although the Fourth Army also had 15,000 men, in the face of the Ming army, Shimazu Yoshihiro did not have the slightest confidence that he could win. But Shimazu Yoshihiro also knew that Tsushima Island was finished, and if Busan was finished, then the troops invading Korea would really be finished.
Since the beginning of the Korean War, the transportation route from Tsushima Island to Pusan, which was supported by the naval division, has been the lifeblood of its own side.
The North Korean Yi Sun-sin also had the idea of fighting Busan, but Busan's defense was very tight, and there was no way to defeat it, so Yi Sunsin could only retreat, but this time it was the sailors of the Ming Dynasty who came.
Maybe I didn't know about the sailors of the Ming Dynasty before, but I lost Tsushima Island.
The Nine Ghosts and Fujido Takatora are dead, and where are the warships left in Busan, there are more troop carriers and grain carriers. These ships can fight with the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, that is impossible.
Now what you have to do is very simple, that is, to hold on to Busan and wait for reinforcements.
Once Busan is broken by the Ming army, the entire Busan's supplies will fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, you must know that here is a hoarding of all the materials transported from the island, once this place is gone, then the soldiers in front will fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food.
Yoshihiro Shimazu knew very well what would happen after such a terrible result, so he didn't dare to lose at all.
Busan is a port city, and the Ming army does not need to choose the location of the attack at all, just choose the port built by the Japanese invaders, and the Ming army launched an attack here at Tianming.
Compared with fighting the port of Tsushima Island, Qi Jin made more efforts this time.
The fourteen main ships were all lined up in turn, with sixty side guns on each side facing the port of Busan, plus other auxiliary warships, and a thousand guns facing the port of Busan, all of which were the most advanced guns of the Ming Dynasty.
The rate of fire reached one minute per shot, and the number of cannons reached nearly 1,000, and Qi Jin believed that no one could defend against it.
The battle soon began, and the firing of a thousand guns was spectacular, and the shells rained down into the port of Busan, and the explosions resounded all over the world. All the work of the Japanese Invaders was blown to powder, and the garrisoned Waiko only had to howl and escape.
Shimazu Yoshihiro looked at this scene with a pale face, obviously it was impossible to prevent the Ming army from landing.
Under such artillery fire, he simply could not assemble his troops, because once assembled, the artillery of the Ming army would open fire, the shells would smash over, and once covered by artillery, there would be no second way to go except to be blown up.
"Let's land!" Qi Jin put down the telescope in his hand and ordered directly.
The Ming army's troop carrier went directly to the shore, and after the soldiers were brought to the shore, the speed was very fast, and they were quickly assembled on the shore, and small cannons were lifted off the troop carrier.
Crates of grenades, boxes of grenades were moved to land.
The Marines were carrying flintlock pistols, and the first batch of flintlock pistols of the Ming Dynasty were all here. Compared to arquebuses, flintlock pistols are more reliable and faster.
Shields, spearmen, archers for killing, all available.
Qi Jin also landed on land on a ship, and the Ming army did not rush to attack the Japanese who had gathered in the city of Busan, but began to assemble their own troops, and completed the assembly with 50,000 horses.
"Let's go!" When the men and horses were assembled, the army rushed straight to the city of Busan.
When Shimazu Yoshihiro saw the team of the Ming army, his face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot, you are too many, right? Where did you get so many troops, looking at this number, this should be 50,000 people, right?
"Bombard the city with artillery!"
Qi Jin glanced at Busan City, then turned to Luo Shangzhi and said, "This city has been strengthened by the Japanese and looks very strong, so try it with my artillery first." ”
"Good!" Luo Shangzhi nodded, then turned around and went to make arrangements.
Although the sailors brought small cannons, there was really nothing to fight back on the side of the Japanese invaders, and the Ming army directly mounted the cannons only 400 meters away from the city wall.
It's obvious that you'll come out if there's a kind! He almost shouted at the Japanese in Busan City: "Come here!" ”
Shimazu Yoshihiro hated itchy, but he didn't dare to send people out of the city, not at all.
The sound of artillery rang out at one time, hundreds of cannons roared, and the explosion once again resounded through the city of Busan. Only this time it was against the city walls, which were not so strong.
Although the Japanese began to strengthen Pusan after occupying Busan, it was only a few months, and there was no time at all.
In addition, it was necessary to transport grain and grass equipment to the front, and the reinforcement of Busan Castle was very limited, so Busan Castle could not bear it, and after three rounds of shelling, the city wall was directly blown up.
"Siege!"
Qi Jin saw that the city wall was blown up, and nodded with satisfaction.
If it can't be blown up, I have to let someone get the ladder, but now it seems that there is no need to explode, and if it is exploded, the Japanese will be finished.
