Chapter 427: Fighting

Qi Xiang jumped off the boat, the icy sea water didn't reach his knees, he waved his arm behind him, "Hurry up and go ashore, line up to meet the enemy, and open the way for the brothers!" Dozens of Ming troops jumped out of small boats and rushed to the beach to land, quickly forming a horizontal column, separated from each other by a person's width, aiming at the enemy and firing with their guns.

On the opposite side of them, there were already a large number of Japanese robbers raising their swords to kill, and the formation was dense with no less than a thousand people, and with a burst of gunfire, more than 20 Japanese robbers fell to the ground with a ball of blood on their bodies, but it did not affect the forward momentum of the Japanese robbers.

After putting the gun, the Ming army immediately took out a small bag of oiled paper from the small leather bag on his waist, bit the tail seal, poured the gunpowder inside directly into the barrel and began to load ammunition. At the same time, another group of Ming troops landed ashore, passed through the gap between the front row of soldiers, took two steps forward and immediately raised their guns and opened fire......

The Ming troops who landed on the shore quickly formed three columns, shooting alternately while advancing, while leaving a large safe landing area behind them, and later the Ming troops joined them one after another, making the team longer and longer. After a lot of training in Zhoushan, they were already familiar with this way of landing.

The distance between the Ming army and the Japanese invaders was rapidly shortened, and the sniping attacks received by the Japanese were more powerful, and the dense projectiles shot into the body of the Japanese invaders, hitting the brain may only be a blood spot the size of a bean, but the back of the skull may be lifted open, and the white brain pulp and red blood are sprayed everywhere, and the shape is extremely terrifying.

At this time, Taiwan is almost undeveloped and primitive, where does the road come from, especially the place where the Japanese gather (Keelung) can be said to be the back of the mountains and the sea, there is really nowhere to escape.

In a desperate situation, the Japanese invaders burst out with unprecedented courage, stepping on the corpses of their companions and constantly rushing over, and then turning into paved corpses, after all, the flesh and blood were against the flying hot lead bullets, and the two sides only had real contact, and hundreds of Japanese were already killed, and the Japanese finally could not bear such bloody killings and began to retreat.

Qi Xiang shouted loudly: "Don't chase!" Don't chase! Hold on to your formation! ”

The original loose formation, rapid adjustment and step by step, more and more Ming troops landed ashore, more than 1,000 Ming troops with flintlock pistols all landed.

The arquebus is really not very useful in this harsh world, and Liao Yongan sent a thousand soldiers, each armed with a long knife and a grenade hanging from his waist, to support the musketeers. The last to land was a small artillery unit, with only a few dozen tiger squatting trots.

Ma Du and Liao Yongan jumped off the bow of the boat, walked to Qi Xiang, who was commanding the team to assemble, and gave a thumbs up to Qi Xiang, "Old Qi, the successful landing of you should be the first credit in this battle!" ”

Qi Xiang scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't deserve such praise from the governor, my subordinates are actually just talking about it, the first time I encountered such a war, in fact, my subordinates don't have a score in their hearts!" ”

Liao Yongan smiled: "It's rare that you didn't brag!" What about casualties? ”

Qi Xiang said with a smile: "I don't know elsewhere, anyway, there is not a single one dead here under my subordinates, but three or four hundred of the widows have died." How could the two governors come up, and there is no one on the ship. ”

"It's okay, anyway, the Japanese don't have a ship." Liao Yongan pointed at Ma Du, "Let him come over and have a long experience, my father will not stay in the navy for a long time, and this expedition to make some small contributions to His Majesty can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish." ”

"Tell you, this is not a trivial achievement, the merit is beneficial in the present generation, maybe one day you Liao Yongan will be famous in history. By the way, I said can you stop chatting here, there is still a war going on at this time. ”

When they arrived at the front of the battle, they looked at the situation in front of them by the brighter and brighter firelight, and built a lot of thatched huts on both sides of the harbor, and at the end of the harbor there were more and more houses, and there were also a large number of Japanese who gathered there, and there were more Japanese who gathered in that direction.

Liao Yongan said to Qi Xiang: "What are you still doing in a daze, will you come and attack us when they are ready?" Offensive! With a wave of his big hand, he seemed to have become the marshal of the navy under Lao Zhu many years ago, and Ma Du also vaguely saw the proud man in the cage.

With Liao Yongan's order, the Ming army slowly moved forward with neat steps, and the Japanese on the opposite side rushed up with a strange scream. Liao Yongan raised his hand to stop the army, and ordered: "Tiger squatting on the cannon!" ”

The Ming army array exposed two cracks, and the artillerymen held the tiger squat cannon loaded with ammunition and placed it in front of the formation...... A series of cannon fires, the firelight wrapped in marble-sized iron bullets slanted out of the sky, and clouds of gunpowder smoke filled the front of the battle, blocking the view.

Although I don't know what the effect of these dozens of guns is, the gunners in the front row still fired quickly, then the second row, and then the third row, but they were destined to waste ammunition.

When they first landed, they didn't know the power of the Ming army's firearms, and they rushed with a fierce blow, and after the blood of their teeth collapsed, they immediately pushed back, and they almost never encountered such damage.

Although it is now a comeback, but the fear has spread among the Japanese invaders, and their hearts have changed, and some of them have been exhausted again and again, and when the projectiles flying from the sky have brought the team to a standstill, and a puff of blood rain has been brought out in the crowd, the Japanese have broken up again and fled.

The strong sea breeze blew away the gunsmoke, except for the corpses all over the ground, it was empty, Liao Yongan scolded hatefully: "This group of widows is really not planted, they have withdrawn before they have a real fight, chase!" ”

Liao Yongan was interested, waved his hand and personally led the soldiers to pursue, and shouted from time to time, "Slow down and keep the formation!" ”

The weapons of the two sides are hundreds of years apart, and it is strange that the Japanese are not stupid to come and send them to death, Ma Du lagged behind, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but stop, because he saw a Han man.

The man was tall and obviously different from the short Japanese slave, and his hairstyle and clothes were obviously dressed as Han people, he lay on the ground with a bloody mouth, turned his head sideways and looked back at Ma Du, and replied in a weak voice: "Give me a knife......"

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, most of the Japanese were mainly Han people, and the Japanese were more like wage earners, and at this time, the team of the Japanese was still very pure, the Japanese slaves accounted for the majority, and the Han people were a minority.

These Han pirates and pirates were mixed together, not simply to plunder, but also to take revenge on Lao Zhu, because most of these people were the old subordinates of Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youding. It was Chen Youding, who had no relationship with Chen Youliang, and was a Mengyuan force entrenched in Fujian, and was later exterminated by Tang He and Li Wenzhong.

Except for Fang Guozhen, their bosses all died under Lao Zhu's hands, these people have pity for the old master, and their actions are hateful and hateful, no different from the two devils.

"Don't be a traitor in the next life, give him a knife on the head!" Ma Du is self-inflicted, and now there is still a traitor.
