November 26. Jiazi month. Wuxu day.

It is advisable to make alliances, take picks, sacrifices, and pray for blessings. Do not marry, make a stove.

From the beginning of the morning, all the fleets began to line up one after another, and each ship was separated by about three hundred meters, forming a huge encirclement that stretched for dozens of kilometers.

Between the ships, dozens of herald boats were passing back and forth. With the invention of the telescope, the flag can be transmitted farther, so that the distance between the fleet can be farther and farther.

But the distribution of personnel, the transmission of some specific orders, still need these small boats.

The cooks slaughtered pigs and sheep early in the morning, and at about nine o'clock in the morning, a hot broth was served.

All were well fed and ready to fight. At this time, the fleet reached the sea less than twenty kilometers from the county guard, and the eastern and western routes converged.

The fleet was regrouped, the command was unified, and as the attack flag was raised above the flagship, all the warships marched according to the predetermined route towards the Jeju Gun Guard.

Zhu Zhanji stood on the roof of the flagship, looking at the spectacular scenery of a thousand sails, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

This is the best era of the Chinese nation!

He came to make this kind of strength last!

At the beginning of noon, the fleet came to a halt on the sea, still twenty miles from the port, and half of the battleships lowered their hard sails and lowered their long anchor lines.

The seabed here is about 100 meters above the sea, and the anchor can only barely hang on to the bottom of the sea.

But further along, the number of Daming's fleets is too large, which will affect each other, which is not conducive to giving full play to the advantages of giant ships and heavy artillery.

This is an asymmetrical war, not to mention a treasure ship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, even a conventional warship of 5,000 stones, and it is not a thousand-stone ship that the Japanese can resist.

The flagships that Zhu Zhanji and Zheng He were riding did not continue to move forward, in addition to them, the other four treasure ships also stopped around them, and there were more than 20 warships around them.

At this time, three rockets suddenly sounded on the island, which roared up hundreds of meters and then exploded in the air, forming a cloud of red smoke.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhanji knew that the attack on the shore had begun.

In fact, when the Ming fleet approached, the Japanese on the shore had already noticed it.

It was less than twenty miles away, and the ship's mast could already be faintly seen with the naked eye.

There were also a few telescopes with relatively low magnifications in their hands, and when they saw the appearance of the Ming fleet, everyone was stunned.

They didn't know where so many warships came from, but they knew that they had to escape in the ships before the Ming fleet approached.

Jeju Island is not big, but their 10,000 pirates can hide for a while if they get into the mountains.

But in the absence of supplies and support, they only need to starve for a few days before they lose their combat effectiveness.

At that time, they could only be targeted by the Tamna people.

Without the ship, there would be no hope for their lives.

Therefore, they could only rely on their small and nimble ships, and began to flee before the encirclement was formed.

As long as they can escape, there is hope for them.

Everyone fled to their own ship like crazy, because they had their own clear goals, so although the situation was chaotic, it also had its own laws.

But what they didn't know was that this time the Daming Water Division dispatched almost one-third of the water division's troops, and they were just a decoy in the whole plan.

They will soon learn that they have no hope of escaping at all.

It was also at this time that the attack on land began, and the one who rushed to the front was Zhu Zhanji's personal guard Yu Linwei.

Zhao Yongliang led 1,500 musketeers, divided into three rows, forming a fan, aiming directly at the port.

In this state of rapid marching, although it was only a short distance of more than a thousand meters, every soldier gasped for breath.

Each soldier with gunpowder on his left hip and projectiles on his right hip, and a spear on his shoulder, rushed all the way to the perimeter of the port, forming a straggler encirclement.

This kind of formation is rare in the era of cold weapons, and there are a few Japanese who stayed behind to snipe and wanted to take advantage of it, but they were forced to disperse by the navy's broadsword team after a few blows, and fled in a hurry.

In the port area, the road between the original rows of houses was filled with debris by Japanese pirates, forming a separation zone.

About one or two thousand pirates were left in the harbor, and they had to buy more time for the others to get on board.

At a distance of two or three hundred meters from the other party, Zhao Yongliang blew the whistle in his mouth. The fifteen hundred Lin Wei who followed immediately retreated to the side of the road, assisted each other, and lit the fuse tied to the barrel of the gun.

This kind of lead is somewhat similar to the fire lead of firecrackers, but it is formed by cotton thread and coagulant glue. The fire rope is soft, but it burns slowly, and a fire rope can burn for half an hour.

And on the road they gave way, in the clearing, thirty artillery pieces were scattered and aimed at the port.

The wheels of the carts were unloaded, and the guns were laid flat on the ground, aimed at the ships in the harbor and the obstacles ahead.

Then, the charge hand, the loader, began to reload in a tense and orderly manner.

Whether it was artillery or muskets, Zhu Zhanji had the optimal charge strictly tested, and each ammunition bag was wrapped in oiled paper.

This kind of fixed installation is a black technology that only appeared hundreds of years later, and the fixed gunpowder can save the time of firing the gun and is also beneficial to the maintenance of the barrel.

This was Yu Linwei's first actual artillery and musket battle, and everyone was preparing nervously in strict accordance with the training manual.

Even so, there were people who panicked, made mistakes in their hurry, and almost shot without an order.

At the front of them were five hundred colleagues in pairs, carrying thick planks.

"My lord, the fort is ready."

Zhao Yongliang struggled to blow the whistle in his mouth, raised his right arm, and the flag bearer pressed down the flag with his movements. Then the drums sounded, and ten cannons rang out.

It's a pity that although the artillery aimed at the obstacles on the road did its best, it blew up a lot of obstacles. And those artillery that fired at the sea, most of the shells went into the sea.

The soldiers in charge of the varsity and aiming hurriedly recalibrated again, and the second round of shooting began again.

This time, the results achieved have increased, and the Japanese who were blocking the front did not dare to use their bodies to block those shells, and the queen retreated.

Zhao Yongliang suppressed the desire to attack and once again let the artillery carry out a third round of attacks.

At this time, the Japanese who escaped on the ship had not yet had time to react, and the small cannons on their ships had not yet been pushed up.

The three-round artillery attack dispersed the crowd in front of him a lot, and at this time, Zhao Yongliang gave the task of attacking, and paid close attention to the formation of his side.

Two soldiers in a group, holding planks, the soldiers who followed behind them did not have to worry about the hidden arrows from the Japanese Kou.

At today's distance, the longbow range of the projectile is simply not reached. What's more, most of the bows of the Wako are short bows, and the shooting range is closer.

When the distance between the two armies was only a hundred meters, the tightly blocked planks were scattered and separated, and behind each group of planks were six musketeers.

They worked in pairs and took turns shooting, and the would-be wouldn't even be able to see anyone at all, and they were already beaten with their heads scurry.

Bows and arrows are also a luxury item in Dongying, and these Japanese are not equipped with many at all. In the sound of a series of three-stage shots, they had no chance to open their bows at all.

When the six men of the first group finished firing their muskets, the six men of the second group ran up quickly, replacing them and giving them plenty of time to reload.

The pirates who had been shot had tasted the power of the muskets, and could only hear one gunshot, but they were already wounded, and they had no idea what was going on.

The pirates, who had never experienced such a war, were completely stunned, and they could not even see the enemy, only the smoke rising from behind the planks, but their companions held their faces and howled miserably.

No matter how high the fighting spirit was, it quickly dissipated in this kind of battle, where they could only be beaten and could not fight back, and they all fled one by one, fleeing to the boat that was still sailing.

Today's muskets of the Ming Dynasty use lead bullets, and the melted lead is dripped into a pool of water at a height of two meters, forming lead bullets in perfect condition.

And the wound hit by lead bullet, even if it does not die at the time, will suppurate, tetanus, and become inflamed later, and only a very few lucky people will survive.

This kind of injury in this day and age is almost incurable.

Of course, no one will come to save these pirates, and those who did not die were also dealt with by the naval soldiers who followed.

Then, all the people stopped, and the crowd dispersed even more.

Their task was not to kill all the enemies, but only to force them to not dare to go ashore and not to escape along the land.

If the army is closer, there are also small cannons on the ships of the Japanese invaders, which can easily cause casualties.

But they clearly overestimated the discipline of the Wakos, and at this time, no one thought about fighting back, they were only thinking about escaping.

Although several shells were fired from several ships, the number of wounded was less than ten, except for a few unlucky ones who were eager to make meritorious contributions and rushed to the front.

The attack on the shore stopped, but the pirates became even more alarmed. Because on the sea, the dense battleships have formed a huge encirclement, and at this time, even if you want to escape, it depends on luck.

Most of the pirates still don't give up, looking for loopholes in the middle of the fleet, trying to escape.

Looking at the swarm of would-be robbers, the naval commandos on the shore were a little dumbfounded.

This is not a war they are familiar with, in such a war, force, courage, it seems, nothing is worth anything.

Because they don't need to fight with each other at all, they only need to shoot a few shots easily from a distance, and the enemy is already down.

Tang Jing watched the soldiers who were methodically looking for cover, and wanted to block all the roads, and felt that he seemed to have done nothing as if the general had done anything, and the war had already been decided.

He looked at the musket in Yu Linwei's hand with some blush, and couldn't help but spit out a foul word. "it, how will you fight in the future!"
