After clearing the remnants of the islands in Hakata Bay, the Ming warships lined up and entered Hakata Bay in turn.

In front of the Ming fleet were more than 20 ships from the sea, which were like the general's guards, all over Hakata Bay, driving some small boats on the shore and clearing the waterways.

Behind the Haicang ship are more than a dozen warships with white bodies and narrow hulls, with triple masts and wide decks, and sailors are struggling to pull their sails and adjust the course of the ships.

Behind these ships are a large number of fortune ships, Imagawa Sadashi knew that this was the standard warship of the Ming Dynasty, the hull was nine zhang long, four stories high, condescending, with rockets and artillery to control the enemy, and the ships of the Wa Kingdom were not opponents at all.

Looking at these lucky boats, Imagawa Sadayo felt for the first time that the three-meter-high stone barrier was a bit short, it should be increased to five meters, or even ten meters, and it was a little closer to the coast, it should be increased from five meters to ten meters, or even twenty meters.

Thinking of this, Imagawa Sadayo immediately gave an order: "Be careful and be on guard, don't let the enemy cross the stone barrier!" ”

......

"Are the Japanese people all stupid?"

Commander Tan Yaowu looked at the Boduo Bay stone fortification line that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but turn around and muttered to the inspector Yin Chengfei: "Even the army's mortars can be used to attack the city, do the Japanese think that their broken things made of stones can stop our naval guns?" ”

"Hehe, Old Tan," Yin Chengfei smiled, put down the binoculars a little helplessly, and glanced at Tan Yaowu: "Maybe the Japanese people are too closed, they still think that we are the same as the people of the old Yuan, and we still hold blades, bows and arrows?" ”

"Yes," Tan Yaowu shook his head helplessly: "After the fight against the Japanese Kingdom, Lao Tzu wants to apply to His Majesty to go to Nanyang or the Americas to go around and fight with the Japanese people, it feels like bullying people!" ”

"I'll talk about this matter after the battle," Yin Chengfei said: "Attacking the Japanese is a major matter of the imperial court, if something goes wrong because of you, I will definitely write to Your Majesty and send you to the military court!" ”

"Okay, I got it!" Tan Yaowu immediately had a wit, and quickly picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.

"Hey," Tan Yaowu pointed to the distance and said, "Old Yin, on the hillside behind the stone barrier, there is a high platform, and there is an old man on it, who looks like a commander, and Lao Tzu will reimburse that old boy for the first shot!" ”

"Well, yes, that must be a commander, we have to beat him out first."

"Okay," Tan Yaowu pondered carefully for a while, and said, "Herald!" ”

"Here!"

"The order goes down, the fleet turns the rudder to the left, faces Hakata Bay on the side, and at the same time sends a flag to the commander-in-chief, requesting to open fire!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the herald ran back: "Commander, the commander-in-chief allows the artillery to be fired, but asks to shell the high platform on the mountain first!" ”

"Hehe, good!" Tan Yaowu slapped his thigh with a "snap": "It's really the same as what heroes see!" Ha ha! ”

"Someone, give the order! Ships No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 fired a salvo, and the target, the high platform on the mountain, was crushed! ”

"The other gunboats, all gun positions fire in three groups, destroy the enemy in front of you!"

"Yes!"

......

When the Ming gunboat turned, Imagawa Sadashi suddenly said: "Sada-kun, is this the gunboat of the Ming army!" ”

Chikuzen Daimyo Shaoji Zhenlai hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "It's a bit similar, but the gunboats of the Ming army don't appear many times, and the lowly position can't be sure." Last year, in most cases, it was the Fu ships that loaded the marines into the army, and the artillery fire of the Ming Fu ships was also fierce, but they were covering the retreat of the Ming marines. ”

"Oh," Imagawa Sadayo rubbed his eyes, "Pass the order, let everyone be on guard, hide behind the stone barrier first, and then come out when the enemy lands!" ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, I saw the herald of the Ming army's fleet waving the flag, and then the more than ten battleships in the front opened the portholes, and the black gun ports were exposed in the back.

Before Imagawa could react, the Ming army's shells had already fallen from the sky and landed not far from the high platform, blowing up earth and rocks and billowing smoke.

"Not good! Adults, go! ”

Shao Er Zhenlai is young after all, he reacted quickly, pulled Imagawa Sadayo to run under the high platform, when he ran, he could feel the high platform shaking, and there was the explosion of Ming artillery shells all around, but fortunately, no shells hit the high platform.

Imagawa Sadayo, Shao Er, and a few personal soldiers just ran down the high platform, and immediately a cannonball concentrated on the high platform, and the high platform built on the stone wall immediately crumbled, and the young two Sadayo dragged Imagawa Sadayo and ran out more than ten meters away, and then heard a "bang", the high platform completely collapsed, and the rocks splashed.

Imagawa Sadayo, who was escaping, suddenly fell to the ground with an "ouch", and Shaoer Sadashi hurriedly lay down and said continuously: "My lord, my lord, how are you!" ”

But Imagawa Sadayo did not answer, and the young two Sadayo quickly probed Imagawa Sadayo's snort and found that he was no longer breathing, and there was a stone embedded in Imagawa Sadayo's back, and it was this flying stone that took Imagawa Sadayo's life.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

The explosion of "rumble" kept sounding, and Shao Erzhen couldn't care about grief, he ordered his soldiers to carry Imagawa Sadada's body to the back, turned around himself, and ran in the direction of the stone barrier.

But after running two steps, he didn't dare to run, the stone defense line was on the verge of collapse, and it was already a hell on earth.

The Ming fleet first shelled the stone fortress that played a commanding role, quickly destroyed it, and then began to bombard the stone fortress defense line indiscriminately.

The Japanese soldiers who found out that the high platform had been destroyed were very frightened and did not know what to do? They could only hide behind the stone barrier according to Imagawa Sadayo's last order, but they soon found that in addition to the shells of the Ming army, the poor quality of the stone barrier caused them a second damage, and the shells of the Ming army exploded on the stone barrier, and the stones were splashed, which made the Japanese army relying on the stone barrier suffer heavy casualties, and a ghost cried wolf, but relatively speaking, those who could call out should feel happy, because, at least, they were still alive.

The frightened Japanese soldiers could not bear this torment, they frantically threw away their weapons and armor, and fled behind, and even those who were not bombarded by the naval artillery began to flee, because they found that the Ming fleet began to turn ......

"The order goes down, the gunboat turns, gets out of the way, and shoots extended to the sides!"

"Fu Ship is ready to land, so that the Marines can quickly control the entire territory of the port and guide the army to land!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the shattered Shi Lei defense line, Qu Neng shook his head, and then gave the order to land.

After the gunboats gave way to the front, the Fukubunes began to dock, the marines began to land, and the resistance of the Japanese army was minimal, and there were almost no prisoners.

And Shao Erzhenlai, who saw all this, did not run away, but raised his hands and surrendered......

"Father, it looks easy!"

"Yes, it's easy, the Hakata Bay Defense Line itself is a joke!"

"It's just," Qu Tao hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's just that my son doesn't understand, when he pacified North Korea, why didn't he attack Kyushu Island in one go, but waited for more than a year?" ”

"You know what?"

Seeing the guards begin to go ashore, Qu Neng, who was watching the battle from the flagship, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in a comfortable mood, he began to answer his son's question: "Your Majesty is extremely cautious in handling things, and the cross-sea attack on the Japanese is an unprecedented achievement, so no matter how cautious you are, it is not too cautious. ”

"Last year, Your Majesty made complete preparations."

"First of all, Your Majesty prepared enough grain and grass, and at the same time stabilized Korea."

"At the same time, Your Majesty has replaced the First and Second Fleets with new artillery, which is at least twice as powerful as the original naval guns, and has a much longer firing range, so that such a result can be achieved."

"Moreover, last year, according to His Majesty's order, the navy also conducted a lot of reconnaissance on the seaports, hydrology, climate and other conditions of the Japanese country, do you think the navy really likes to be pirates so much?"

"Huh?" Qu Tao was stunned for a moment, and said, "I see that they are elated every time they come back, I thought they were ......."

"That's just the idea of the low-level soldiers, they just need to know how to fight, but it is absolutely not enough for the senior generals to think so."

Seeing that his son was still a little incomprehensible, Qu Neng shook his head and sighed: "Tao'er, you have been brave and brave since you were a child, and your father often praises you, but now Daming, your kind of martial arts is no longer of much value!" ”

"How so?" Qu Tao was a little unconvinced: "When my son was quelling the rebellion in Shandong, he led the cavalry and made a lot of achievements!" The son has also been rewarded by His Majesty, and he is already a brigadier general! ”

"Huh, Brigadier General? If you continue like this, you won't be able to become a major general for the rest of your life! Qu Neng smiled slightly bitterly: "If it is me, you and your brother who are standing behind the stone barrier today, can you change anything?" Can you stop our troops from coming ashore? ”

"How is this possible?"

"Yes, the power of artillery can not be blocked by flesh and blood, so in the future war, the general's personal martial arts are no longer of much value, and judging the general's ability will become how to effectively use firearms."

"Not to mention the artillery, the platoon guns of the Guards, can you rush over?"

“...... No! ”

Qu Tao understood what his father meant, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, he thought for a while, and said: "Then the only place where my son can use martial arts is Mobei." ”

"Yes, Mobei Mongolia is the only place where cavalry can crisscross and cross, but it's hard to say."

Qu Neng thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Tao'er, for the Ming soldiers, this is the best era, we have set foot in Korea, and we are about to set foot in the Japanese Kingdom, as for Mongolia and the Western Regions, as long as Your Majesty is here, it will be a matter of time; But this is the worst era, we soldiers can no longer rely on bloody martial arts to eat, we must read like literati, understand all kinds of new weapons, new tactics, otherwise we can only watch others rise step by step, and we will stand still, so my father often reads books, reads His Majesty's books, and writes recitals to His Majesty, and asks some questions, you will do this in the future! ”

"Oh, well!"

"Now that I've said this, I'll say more for the father."

Qu Neng pointed to the five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttering on Hakata Bay, and said: "It is not difficult to occupy Kyushu, two guards are enough to sweep Kyushu, but the supplies such as grain, grass, and ammunition consumed in it cannot be taken out at once, so Your Majesty has to wait for a year." ”

"This is Your Majesty's prudence, and it is also the honor of our soldiers, do you understand?"

"Got it!"

......

"Commander-in-chief, there's a captive who wants to see you!"

As soon as Qu Neng landed ashore, Yu Zhenguang, the commander of the Marine Corps, ran over to report.

"Who is it?"

"He claims to be Chikuzen Kundai Ming Shaoji Zhenlai!"
