Chapter 100: Ambush on all sides

Finding that there was a sudden flash of fire behind him, Li Yiqi hurriedly sent the general to take a sentinel ship to investigate, and asked Pei Wedge to lead the Banwu boat to stay in place and stand by, while he led the tortoiseshell boat to continue to move in the northwest direction, trying to carry out a tentative attack before the Japanese army reached the northwest headland.

Li Yiqi knew that bypassing the northwest cape would lead to the sea off Pusan again, so if the Japanese wanted to ambush, this would be their last chance; Moreover, the narrow waterway between the headland and the land was very favorable for the navigation of Japanese ships, but for the large Korean ships, it was a death route, and the hills on both sides of the bank were definitely an excellent place for artillery formation, and if the navy passed through it, it would be destroyed.

Therefore, Li Yiqi decided to lead the forward to arrive here first, and if the Japanese army did not move, he would notify the main fleet to follow up, and then the two armies would merge and concentrate firepower, and they would definitely be able to wipe out all the Japanese ships outside the port of Busan.

However, this steady and steady plan was wasted due to Yuan Jun's greed. Li Yiqi pursued the Japanese ships closely, and soon reached the periphery of the northwest headland, and immediately ordered the ships to prepare for the destruction of their fleets before they entered the waterway. But at this moment, the sentinel ship in charge of reconnaissance rushed back, and the general looked tired and reported to Li Yiqi breathlessly: "The general doesn't need to worry, where the fire is, it is the main force of the naval army led by General Yuan." ”

"What did you say?" Li Yiqi was shocked, "If he didn't get the pioneer report, how could he dare to enter the cape without permission?" If you fall into the ambush of the Japanese invaders, won't you put the whole army to death?! ”

Seeing Li Yiqi so annoyed, the deputy general next to him felt that he was not good, and immediately stepped forward and comforted: "The general should be angry, General Yuan must have anchored in the open sea for too long, and the general has not been able to send a message, so he thinks that everything is normal in the cape and leads the army to follow up." ”

"Don't explain it to him, that guy must be competing with me for the first credit." Li Yiqi's face was still full of unwillingness, but his tone was much calmer: "Okay, who called him the main and my deputy, if General Li is here, the navy will still allow him to make waves?" He wants to take the first credit, and I, Li, will give it to him, so I don't have to suffer from him when I go back. Ordered all armies, suspend artillery firing, turn left rudder and sail into the northwest waterway! ”

Although he was unwilling in his heart, considering the relationship with Yuan Jun, Li Yiqi gave up this great opportunity to annihilate the fleet of the Japanese army, slowed down and followed, and prepared to fire again after meeting with the main force.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared, Li Yiqi is prepared, but he chose to give up; Shimazu Yoshihiro was also prepared, but he chose to persevere, and the victory or defeat was already decided at this moment.

In this battle, his eyes were not limited to the four tortoiseshell ships of the vanguard, but to the entire Korean navy, in his eyes, even though the tortoiseshell ship is the essence of the Korean navy, but if it loses the support of the main fleet, no matter how these four ships make trouble, it will not be able to set off any big waves after all, besides, the northwest cape and Kato Yoshiaki's five hundred bows and feet, and the six gates of Otomo Yoshizhen's "national collapse" finale, Coupled with the naval blockade of Wakisaka Yasuharu, these four tortoiseshell ships are difficult to fly even with their wings.

As Yoshihiro expected, as soon as the main force of the North Korean naval army entered the range of shore artillery fire, several loud noises broke out in the northwest direction, and then, the skyrocketing fire soared into the sky, and the sky above the headland was illuminated in an instant.

At the southernmost end of this illusion, Yoshihiro finally put down the Nanban Mirror that he had not left all night, turned around, and solemnly declared to the nearly 1,000 soldiers in the mountain col: "Brothers, it is finally time to be ashamed, this time, it is up to us Satsuma samurai to return the shame of Bunroku to this group of Koreans, and let them know that in front of the Yamato nation, they are pigs and dogs!" ”

"Blood debt and blood payment! Blood Debt and Blood Repayment!! In the roar of nearly a thousand soldiers behind him like a landslide and tsunami, Yoshihiro issued a battle plan to the generals:

First, through shore artillery attack on several board house ships that stayed in the middle, in order to deter the Xian army and prevent the main force from advancing north to converge with the forward; Second, he ordered Wakita Yasuji, who was on standby in the open sea, to lead one hundred and twenty warships under his command to enter from the flanks, and to break into the center of the fleet by surprise, so as to take advantage of the chaos to win the general general; In the end, he used the Sanmen National Collapse borrowed from the Otomo family, plus dozens of stone and fire arrows from his own family, to form a dense firepower network and bombard the tail of the fleet to prevent the Xian army from escaping.

The north and south were blocked, and the east was attacked, and the fleet could only retreat to the west, but the west was the east coast of Shadow Island, with dense reefs, and the non-stop fire of bows and arrows and iron cannons, I believe that the entire fleet could be wiped out in one fell swoop without waiting for early morning.

Speaking of which, you may ask, where did Wakiban Anji come from? In fact, upon learning of Wongyun's departure, Hyotaka ordered Wakiban to lead the Shikoku naval army out of the port of Busan and temporarily docked at Sacheon-ri, north of Yeongdo and south of Ulsan, as a surprise soldier in case of emergency.

To put it bluntly, this series of actions, before Won Jun arrived in Busan, Hyo Gao had already thought about it, although due to Li Yiqi's caution, the plan was almost aborted, but thanks to Won Jun's help, it was still carried out without danger after all, is this irony, or irony?

The camera turned to Yuan Jun again, even if he was a fool, he should understand that he had been tricked, at this moment, he either continued to march north, first joined the Banwu boat left by Li Yiqi, and then rushed into the northwest waterway to rescue the forward, and finally broke through the Japanese encirclement and fled into the sea off Busan, and ran back to Xianshan Island; Either abandon the car to protect the commander, abandon Li Yiqi and his tortoiseshell ship, and lead the main force to break through the Japanese fire blockade with superior forces, withdraw from the southeast headland, and also reach the sea off Pusan and retreat to Xianshan Island.

Both plans can achieve the ultimate goal of leading the main force to retreat, but due to the unclear understanding of the strength of the Japanese army in the northwest cape, the success rate of the former plan has been greatly questioned.

Facts have also proved that the latter plan has won the approval of the vast majority of people, including Li Mingxuan, but his reasons are different from those of Yuan, and taking the opportunity to get rid of Li Yiqi and the Nanren Party led by him is the top priority in this operation.

This trick of "borrowing a knife to kill" is insidious, but Yuan Jun can't see it at all at this moment, Li Mingxuan covered up this conspiracy with a sentence of "the overall situation is important", Yuan Jun just nodded, he ordered the whole army, the forward to change the palace army, the palace army to the forward, and the right full rudder to retreat to the southeast headland.

"Father, the Xian army has begun to retreat." Zhongheng anxiously reported to Yoshihiro.

"This is very good, pass the order, concentrate the fire to bombard the front of the fleet, and be sure to nail the fresh army to this southeast headland before the arrival of the sailors on the island!" Looking at the main force of fresh soldiers who were scattered by the waves, Yoshihiro smiled coldly: "Yuan Jun, if you have the ability, fly over my head, otherwise, you will be buried for my thousands of heroic souls!" ”
