The transition from the era of cold weapons to the age of hot weapons is not only a change in weapons, but also a change in the mode of warfare.

The application of hot weapons has opened up the space of the battlefield and changed the way of warfare, and even the training of soldiers will have earth-shaking changes.

The soldiers had only seen the usefulness and long-range power of muskets, but as a general, they had realized that the way they led the army would also be completely changed.

If he doesn't make changes in time, then he will be eliminated.

So at this time, his eyes were hot when he looked at Zhao Yongliang, as if he had met a favorite beauty.

However, the impact on him was far less than that of Huang Yuan.

Because he is already a general, he just needs to accept this new mode of warfare and implement it in his own barracks.

However, Huang Yuan, as a middle-level official who was not in a good position, had doubts about what he had learned in the past and doubts about the future path after seeing the current battlefield model. As for the future, he also became uncertain.

It was not that he had never seen a musket before, but because of its slow reloading and low power, the musket could only be used as an auxiliary weapon on the battlefield at most.

When the two ships fought on the side, they still fought the courage of the soldiers.

But now, with the musket becoming more and more powerful, it seems that with the musket, it can replace all other weapons, and the battlefield will become a strange place.

Now, he felt very fortunate again. If he was now a leader of the army, then he could only lead the soldiers on the ship to fight bravely.

But he is now the head of the Admiralty, responsible for the liaison of the entire Admiralty, so he can see more changes in the situation than anyone else.

In this coming change, as long as he seizes the opportunity, then he will occupy a favorable position in this new era of change.

Tang Jingleng thought about it for a while before he thought about it again, and hurriedly picked up two order arrows and handed them to the messengers on the left and right. "Ordered Jiaozhou Wei and Weihaiwei to withdraw two miles to the west, open the defensive line, and prevent the Japanese dogs from jumping over the wall and landing. Dinghaiwei was ordered to open a defensive line to the west to resist the landing of the Japanese invaders. ”

After the heralds galloped away, he picked up another arrow and handed it to the heralds. "Ordered Yu Linwei to leave only five hundred musketeers here, and each send five hundred musketeers to provide fire support along both sides of the east and west roads."

Looking at the boats of the sea like rats crossing the street, and looking at the majestic and majestic Daming Sailor in the distance. Tang Jing felt that this battle was really going well, and it was difficult for the Japanese to fly.

He turned around and ordered: "Tang Garrison, you lead the reserve battalion and the Tamluo people to clean up the county guard mansion and search for scattered and fleeing Japanese robbers." And contact the local inside, collect all the iron pots, build pots and stoves, cook chaihu soup, and prevent wind and cold. ”

Huang Yuan clenched his fists and said: "Commander, the war is not over yet, the last general only needs to bring two hundred reserve battalions, and these Tamluo people can use their hearts." ”

Tang Jing nodded and said, "Then this matter will be handed over to you, and when the war is over, I will ask you for credit." ”

In Tang Jing's view, in this sniper battle, so far, the first merit is of course Yu Linwei, and their team of 1,500 people drove the Japanese robbers into the sea as a whole.

But the second merit is definitely none other than this liaison officer of the Navy Headquarters. From the moment he got off the ship, he became an important figure in the smooth flow of information between the various ministries, and the distribution of weapons, ammunition, and food supplies for soldiers were all completed by him and led more than 200 civilian officials.

Although he did not go to the battlefield, his merits are irreplaceable.

Of course, this is also related to Tang Jing's desire to show favor to Huang Yuan. Not to mention that Huang Yuan's father was Huang Fu, the political envoy of Jiaozhibu, and it was rumored that Huang Fu was going to be transferred to the capital for reuse.

Just Huang Yuan is now in the center of the navy, and he is a popular man in front of Taisun and the naval governor Liu Jiang, and he is young, so he may fly Huang Tengda in the future, and he still has time to ask for him.

As time progressed, the encirclement formed by the Ming fleet became smaller and smaller, and the gap between the ships became smaller and smaller. When they find that they can't escape anymore, they become more and more crazy.

They no longer cared about the ship's landing, and desperately steered the ship closer to land, trying to rely on the advantage of numbers to open a gap.

However, the number of people on both sides was equal, and the impact of either side could not shake the defense line formed by the Ming soldiers.

The guards on both flanks fled with the Japanese ships, laying a line of defense on the shore.

Whenever a ship docked, thirty Yulin guards would form an attack phalanx and shoot at the opponent in three strikes, forcing the opponent to not be able to dock.

Those who jumped into the sea and tried to swim ashore could only find in despair that they would never have the chance to set foot on land.

Even if they surrendered now, no one would pay attention to them, because they were ordered not to take any prisoners until the flagship arrived.

But oddly enough, only one ship did not receive any attacks. Every Ming soldier was informed not to attack a dilapidated thousand-stone ship with a red patch on its sails, and the people on board demanded that they be captured alive.

Kyogoku no longer has the high spirits he had when he set off.

When he saw the Ming warships on the sea that were like hills, he clearly realized. In his heart, the wealthy Celestial Empire not only has moderate subjects, but also has the most powerful army in the world.

The thousand-stone ship they were driving was only a little larger than the other party's four-hundred-stone herald boat, and in front of the opponent's giant ship of several thousand stones, their small boat had no defensive ability at all.

And the Ming fleet is finally getting closer and closer, and these ships are like mountains, becoming a ghost gate that they can't overcome.

By the time the ships had lowered their sails and aimed their side at them, they had already jumped into the sea in desperation.

Kyogoku didn't realize what was happening, and then he saw smoke rising from the huge ships, followed by a thunderous roar.

"This is the cannon of the Ming people!"

If it weren't for the people around him who grabbed him, he almost couldn't help jumping into the sea. As long as you grab a piece of driftwood in the sea and surrender when the war is over, you can still have a life. But if their ship had been hit by a shell, it would have been possible to have no bones left.

He doesn't want to die!

He saw with his own eyes the ship of Ichiro Saya, whom he had just met, and the bow of the ship was shattered by several shells. Then their ship was plunged into the sea at once, and its tail was raised high. Most of the people in the boat did not jump into the sea and suffocated in the cabin.

He shouted out a little uncontrollably: "Shore, shore, death will also die on land." ”

There are not a few people who think the same way as him, and when they find that they can't escape anymore, how anxious they are when they get on the boat, how anxious they are now.

But the Ming fleet had already formed an encirclement of less than five miles, and the coastline left for them was only four or five miles long. And on the shore, there are still Ming soldiers who are eyeing the rabbit.

Seeing that many people could not get ashore at all, they were killed by a magical weapon. More people froze to death and drowned because of the icy waters, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

He wanted to hide in his room and stop watching the cruelty. He wanted not to fall into the glory of the Kyogoku family and gloriously seppuku, but he didn't dare.

He only dared to sit stupidly on the deck and bury his head deep between his knees.

This is not the path to riches he expects, this is not the result he wants.

Why is Daming already so rich and powerful, but he doesn't obediently let them grab a little bit and let them live a good life!

Why is the Ming fleet so mighty, they can't escape even if they want to!

Why can't he be born as a Ming man!

He couldn't help but cry sadly, but he didn't know what he was crying for.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Jing couldn't help but show a smile, he knew that the young man in front of him who was fierce and introverted, and the defense line in his heart had been completely broken.

Not only can he be a fulcrum in this vast project, but he can also play a bigger role.

A member of the Kyogoku family, a powerful father, and a powerful branch that is not in harmony with the main family, they can play a role far greater than their own.

Taisun just wanted to use them to get a silver mountain, but he and Master Ji wanted more. A silver mountain alone is far from satisfying their appetite!

Thinking of Master Ji's plan, his heart couldn't help but boil. Maybe one day in the future, he can also become a small prince who has divided his territory!

And all this comes from the weak little guy in front of him.

He squatted down in front of Kyogoku and said in a kind voice, "Kyogoku-kun, don't worry. You see that the Ming shells didn't hit our ship even a single shot, did they? ”

The Japanese traitor Si Bo Yisheng, who was following Zhuang Jing, had completely become enlightened, and his Chinese name was changed to Shi Bo, and he translated Zhuang Jing's words to Jingji Zhigang.

He raised his head, his eyes a little blank at the two of them, and the few guards around them who were still calm at this time.

He was ashamed of his weakness, usually they were submissive to him, and looked like soft bones, but now he was crying, and the other party was still fearless.

Hearing the continuous sound of artillery outside, his courage suddenly disappeared again. "No, we're done. I didn't have enough wealth to stand on my own, and now the ship will be lost. Even if I don't die, I'll have a debt that I won't be able to pay off for the rest of my life. God is not fair! ”

Zhuang Jing laughed and said softly: "No, things still have a turnaround, it depends on how you choose!" ”

When Shi Bo translated this sentence, Kyogoku held the post like grasping a life-saving straw and grabbed Zhuang Jing's hand. "What can you do? You are a Ming man, can you make the sailors of the Ming Dynasty not kill me? ”

"As long as I can do what I say......"

"I will, you can do whatever you want me to do!"
