Chapter 151: Landing

Leaving professional things to professional people to do, and controlling the overall situation by himself, is the most skillful thing Zhu Zhanji has done.

Although he has his own advantages in strategy and layout because of the experience of his previous life. But when it comes to specific matters, none of these professionals do it better.

For example, choosing a beach not far from the county guard to land, such as leading tens of thousands of people to march dozens of miles, and then arranging troops to prepare for battle, these are not perfect things that an inexperienced person can do.

If you are too close to the county guard, you will be easily noticed by the Japanese invaders, but if you are too far away from the county guard, by the time the soldiers arrive at their destination, they will probably be exhausted and paralyzed.

On the way to the march, it is inevitable to encounter a variety of situations, and how to deal with these accidents reasonably is a matter that can only be done well by people with rich experience.

What should I do if a soldier is injured? What to do if you meet a local? What should I do if I am discovered in advance by the Japanese Bandits? Any accident may affect the final result.

With the power of thunder and 100,000 heroes, against less than 10,000 Japanese robbers, not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

Spread out the Tamna map, which is a re-mapped map, although the terrain is very simple, the scale of the map is almost perfect.

In some important places, it is also marked by surveyors on the water depth and population of the coast.

After the joint discussion of Zheng He and several generals, the landing site was placed on a rock-filled coast twenty-five kilometers away from the county guard.

This is a famous pearl collecting site on Jeju Island, but according to intelligence, the residents of the Japanese invaders have fled the area when they first arrived, so they did not have a presence here.

Even the patrol boats of the Japanese only patrol the area within 20 kilometers of the county, and only once a day.

It's just a corner, with some angles to the coastline to the north, so as long as the Ming ships aren't too far from the shoreline, they won't be spotted.

Moreover, although there are fifty miles of land from here to the county guard, there is a solid dirt road to facilitate the march.

The place of landing was decided, and the calculations also calculated the time for the formation of the encirclement of the fleet according to the wind and currents.

Only the convoy blocking the route between Korea and Dongying on the eastern front will take more time, and the western front will be able to reach the landing site in half a day.

The official time for the attack was set at noon on 26 November, that is, at 11 a.m.

Tang Jing led 13,000 men to attack from the land, leaving time for the pirates to board the ship, and half an hour later, the Ming fleet would carry out the net collection operation.

The first attack from the land was to let the pirates escape to the ship, and as soon as they got on the boat, then they would also become the turtles in the urn.

Giving up the support on land, when they go to the sea, they will only become the target of the Shenji Battalion to practice marksmanship.

Hiding in the ship, Daming's artillery is not vegetarian.

At present, a small half of the fighters of the Daming Navy Division use firearms, and the rest are equipped with ghost-headed broadswords, bows, crossbows, thunderbolts, cannons, grenades and rockets.

Whenever the two armies joined the formation, they first bombed the ships with artillery, and the shells were mainly stones. However, there are a small number of explosive bombs made of ceramics, but the power of explosive bombs is limited, so they are not widely used on land.

But the navy is different, because as long as the other party's ship is burned, it will work better than anything. Therefore, many of the flowering shells equipped by the Navy are filled with fire oil and explosives.

After the artillery attack, it was a rocket sortie. The rocket has a bamboo tube as the main trunk, generally with five sections, with an iron tip in front of the weight, fire oil in the middle, and gunpowder in the last section.

The shape of this rocket is not much different from the fireworks of later generations, but it is larger. After ignition, it can fly up to two or three miles.

As long as the target is blown up, the bamboo tube will shatter, and the fire oil will splash out, forming an incendiary agent with the gunpowder, which will have a destructive effect on the opponent's ships.

Then, there was the Thunderbolt sortie. Thunderbolts mainly fire lime shells, and the main purpose is to hurt people's eyes.

The thunderbolt is specially made, with wooden planks in front and back, and lime powder in a paper tube in the middle. Gunpowder is loaded first, and then a cannonball is put in, and when the cannonball flies out, it hits the target, and the paper bullet explodes, and then the lime powder is scattered.

If these three weapons have not yet subdued the enemy, it is the musket that goes into battle. No matter how bad it is, when the short-handed soldiers meet, it is the bow and crossbow, and finally the ghost head and the big knife go into battle.

Although the times are different and the weapons are relatively backward, the navy of the Ming Dynasty naturally has a set of tactics suitable for this era.

When he first learned about it, Zhu Zhanji was shocked. Don't say that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, even after three or four hundred years, this set of tactics is definitely not inferior to any Western country!

But why, how can such a mighty and majestic navy abandon its martial arts!

Even if it is a matter of human rule, but such an advanced weapon and such an excellent tactic, why didn't it continue to develop later!

The herald ship carried the generals back to their respective ships, and after a while, to the beat of the drums, a red lantern hung on the left side of the flagship.

The Second Fleet on the left began to hang red lanterns on the masts one by one, and the ships began to set sail in the morning light.

The Third Fleet supported 3,000 men from the First Fleet, 5,000 from the First Fleet, and 2,000 from the Second Fleet, making up 10,000 men.

In addition, there is also the 3,000-feather Lin Weishen Machine Battalion specially supported by Zhu Zhanji.

Since Liu Sheng became famous in the desert, the role of firearms has been affirmed by countless military guards. In the past, firearms were easy to explode and had a short range, but now they can process seamless steel pipes, and the role of firearms has been amplified a lot.

With the addition of these 3,000 forest guards, the 10,000 soldiers who landed did not have any worries at all.

Zhu Zhanji's flagship will also follow the Second Fleet, since the Western Front needs to sail shorter distances.

However, although there were nearly 10,000 people who specialized in protecting Zhu Zhanji, 13,000 people who were responsible for the raid ashore. However, all the warships and numbers of the Western Front were not as large as those of the Eastern Front.

Because this time the net is closed, the real battlefield should be the Eastern Front. Not only will they have to intercept the fleeing Japanese invaders, but they will also have to guard against new Japanese warships coming from the east, and they will also be the main force when chasing the enemy.

By the time the sails were fully raised, it was already dark. Large ships formed a torrent and began to move north.

All the warships on the Eastern Front have been dispatched, but there are only more than 60 lucky ships on the Western Front, and the treasure ships have begun to move, and their main purpose is to send these 13,000 soldiers to land in addition to the personnel on board.

Faster than they were the logistics ships carrying gunpowder and weapons, which also carried dozens of guns mounted on pallet trucks.

When you're not shooting, you can pull the cart on wheels. When firing, the wheels are removed to become a turret.

In addition, there are dozens of pallet trucks that can transport baggage, although the soldiers' weapons can be carried with them, but this is a rapid march, with a pallet cart can put the baggage on the cart to speed up the march.

The former soldiers, of course, could not cope with such a difficult task and had to be mules and horses. But after the bearings, everything changed, and when the load was not large, manpower could pull the pallet truck.

It took at least half a day to reach the landing site, but all the generals were busier.

In particular, the logistics department had to calculate the material needs of the soldiers, distribute weapons and gunpowder, arrange for the landing of board trucks, have an engineering unit to pave the road in front, and even more need to arrange spies to explore the road in front.

This is a war, not a game, and you can restart if you fail in the game. But if the soldiers die, they can't live anymore, and if the war is lost, everyone will bear the corresponding responsibility.

By mid-afternoon, the forward fleet had already arrived at the intended landing site. To everyone's surprise, before the ship docked, more and more natives could be seen on the shore, and they worshiped the fleet and began to run with the fleet.

Zheng He said with a smile: "This should be the fugitives on the island, seeing our Daming fleet, they know that we are here to save them." Your Highness, please wait, and arrange for some people who know the Tamna language to come ashore and persuade them to serve our soldiers. And with so many people, some food supply also needs to be increased. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Mr. Zheng, please take care of yourself, you don't need to be accompanied." Be careful not to alarm the Japanese on the island. ”

"Minister's savings."

Having said that, Zhu Zhanji actually didn't worry too much. Because the Japanese were mainly based on plunder, not on conquest. Even if they have arranged some spies for money, but now that they have occupied this place and achieved their purpose, they will not disperse their forces during the preparation of the dispatch.

There is no unified command system, no means of communication, and once the personnel are scattered, they cannot be summoned if they want to.

Therefore, except for patrol ships, there are basically no pirates who will set up a defensive line of defense more than fifty miles.

The beaches where you land are all rocky beaches, and this accumulation of rocks was formed by volcanic eruptions. Zhu Zhanji still vaguely remembers that it seems that on the east side of the island, there is also a kind of stacked rock in the columnar joint zone, which has also been rated as one of the natural miracles.

This kind of beach is not suitable for landing, because the coast is uneven. However, the water is very deep, which is suitable for larger boats to get close to the coast.

After testing the depth of the sea, five landing sites were selected. The five flat-bottomed landing ships were placed side by side between the sea ships and the land, and the personnel could land directly.

However, the board truck and cannon are not enough, and the suitable landing site must be selected and hoisted from the sea ship to the landing ship before it can be transported ashore.

Zhu Zhanji did not get off the ship, although there is no miasma here, but who knows if there will be any sudden source of infectious diseases?

After all, this is not a city, but a wilderness, and perhaps a bite from a bug can have unpredictable consequences.

Although he is not afraid, others are also afraid, otherwise, how could Zheng He follow him without leaving him for a moment.

If Zhu Zhanji had an accident, even if they killed all the pirates, they would not be able to escape the crime.

When the local people saw the Ming army coming ashore, it was like a savior. Only a small ration was used, and after a while, everyone spontaneously saw that they were helping the Ming army to transport the baggage.
