Chapter 69: Gang Jumping

When Wang Rui was in front of Fushan, the magistrates of South Jeolla Province, North Jeolla Province, South Chungcheong Province and other places in North Korea were all sad.
For no other reason, there have been reports of towns and villages in various coastal areas recently being harassed by the Japanese invaders, and many villages and small towns have been burned down by the Japanese invaders. Of course, there were many people who were killed by the Japanese invaders.
What made them even more unbelievable was that this gang of would-be robbers was extremely powerful. On several occasions, an army of nearly a thousand people was easily routed by the opposing side.
The governor of Gwangju, Park Qunguang, sighed to Kim Chung-hae, the political envoy of Jeollanam-do, "My lord, I can't imagine that this widow is coming to disturb again!" It's really a difficult state affair! ā
"Oh, yes! This year has only been chaotic, and now the Japanese are coming again. This Heavenly Empire, I can't count on it for a while! When will we be able to find the Celestial Empire's army to help? Jin Zhonghai also shook his head and sighed.
In recent years, North Korea, like the Ming Dynasty, has experienced frequent disasters. In particular, the chaos in the past Ding Mao made the DPRK people feel heartbroken.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Amin, one of the four Great Baylors of the Later Jin Dynasty, led an army of 30,000 and invaded Korea. The war lasted for three months, and the Jiannu barbarians burned and looted all the way, approaching the Korean capital of Hanyang, forcing North Korea to submit.
Amin met with the North Korean envoy in Pyongyang and announced that Kim and North Korea had formed a "brotherly alliance". The two sides opened markets in Zhongjiang and Huining, demanded the return of Houjin, and pursued the tribute.
This incident immediately damaged the vitality of the DPRK and shook the DPRK situation. Finally, the aftermath of the country has gradually subsided, but I never thought that this wave has not subsided, and a wave of invasion has come again, and this damn widow is now coming to the door from time to time! What a vain cry!
However, the Japanese were very wronged, and they purely took the blame for Wang Rui's Fushan army. Now, they are also under constant attack from a powerful "pirate".
At noon on the 7th day of the first month of August, Ichiro Matsui, who was sailing on the sea, had just eaten lunch balls, and was idle and bragged on the deck with a few sailors. They are all experienced old pirates, calculating their schedules, and it is estimated that they are already very close to Fukue Island.
One by one, the Japanese have been drifting on the sea for several days, although they have made a lot of money by going to the sea trade of Daming, but they are really suffocating at sea every day.
"Yamashita-kun, we're back to Fukue Island this time, we have to play hard!" Matsui Ichiro smiled lewdly and said to another wolf.
"Yo Xi, Matsui-kun! We're going to have a few drinks! I've been missing the sake in Sakura Lane for a long time. And, of course, the beautiful Sachiko girl! The Wako, who was called Taro Yamashita, replied with a look of fascination.
"Yes! Fukue Port must be very lively this time. You see, there are more than a dozen boats coming back from Daming! The other said, pointing to the distant sea behind the boat.
"Ahh And the boat? Both Ichiro Matsui and Taro Yamashita looked back at the sea behind them.
"That's not right! It's a pirate! They don't have a seal! The attentive Ichiro Matsui yelled loudly.
"Quick, quick! Tanabe-kun, go and inform the boss! Taro Yamashita roared too.
"Come out! Come out! There's a pirate coming! A few of the pirates began to shout on deck.
When more than 50 of them heard the shouts outside, they rushed out of the cabin and looked around in a chaotic manner.
"Don't panic, hurry up and open sail! Run to Fukue Island! "Ichiro Hashimoto, the great leader of the Japanese Invaders, has seen a lot of things, such as this kind of encounter with other pirates at sea, he has also experienced a lot. Therefore, he immediately calmly began to direct the Japanese to respond.
The large fleet that the Japanese called pirates was the Fushan Navy led by Wang Rui and Pan Xuezhong, but the ship was hung with a black and white pirate flag with swords crossed and a skeleton on top of it.
Wang Rui called every fleet that went to sea "colonization team". For the next five or six years, the black-and-white skeletal pirate flag flying over the East China Sea became a nightmare for everyone who walked the sea.
"Third brother, let the five ships in front of you all be full! The back loaded with the captured boats left alone. Let's catch up with all our might! Kill these Vermilion Ships! There must have been a lot of valuable things on these three ships. Pan Xuezhong knew how to sail at sea best, so Wang Rui asked him to command the fleet to sail.
"Chen Song, send the order to the ships and outflank them in a semicircle. After entering the three hundred meters, attack with a strong crossbow! When the ship approaches, beware of the Woko Hopping Gang! Let everyone greet directly with grenades! Wang Rui commanded.
A grenade is a kind of ammunition thrown by hand, so named because the shape and fragments of grenades in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries resemble pomegranates and pomegranates. Although modern grenades are cylindrical in shape, some have handles, and rarely contain pomegranate-like projectiles inside, the name grenade is still used.
At the same time in Europe, some countries equipped their elite units with field grenades, and called soldiers who were specially trained to use such ammunition grenadiers.
However, because Wang Rui created yellow powder and ignition, the power of the grenades he is equipped with now is very close to the weapons of the early 20th century.
When two ships like this one are in close combat at sea, the grenade has proven its power in countless battles.
After the flotilla left behind the six ships loaded with countless captured supplies, the seven ships in front began to pursue the Japanese in full force towards the east of the pirates. After more than an hour, the two fleets finally approached gradually.
"Good! Order the ships and get ready for battle! Wang Rui ordered.
Chen Song immediately took a few guards out and waved flags at the other boats.
Wang Rui used the telescope he brought with him to look at the situation on the Japanese ship from afar. I saw that these would-be robbers did not appear particularly flustered, but were methodically guarding their side on the deck.
Fortunately, there was no artillery on the ships of these widows, which finally made Wang Rui's hanging heart relax.
Before refining high-quality steel and making muskets and artillery, Wang Rui did not dare to use his precious military strength to touch the powerful maritime forces of the Dutch and the Spaniards who came to the Far East.
The young navy of the Fushan Army still needs to grow up in battle again and again.
"Crossbow Attack!" After entering three hundred steps, Wang Rui ordered. More than 100 crossbows on the five ships shot the first round, and the black crossbow arrows fell like a black rain on the three ships of the Japanese Kou.
Blood splattered on every deck of the ship, and the pirates who were shot began to scream with all their might. Some of the unlucky widows were shot dead on the spot without firing.
"Hurry, hurry up and reload! Shoot a few more rounds! Wang Rui ordered again.
Fifty paces closer to the Wako ship, the well-trained Fushan Navy fired four or five more rounds to completely clean the Wako deck!
"Haha, well done! Third brother, our strong crossbow is really powerful! You can outflank and jump up! Pan Xuezhong shouted excitedly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Rui's fleet was finally about to get close to the Japanese ships.
"Throw and fly! Catch the Japanese boat! Get ready to jump. Following Pan Xuezhong's order, countless flying grabs were thrown towards the boat, connecting the boat tightly with his own ship.
"Rush over! Kill all the pirates! Wang Rui ordered loudly.
When Wang Rui's navy was training at sea in Fushan Bay, it conducted countless gang jumping training. Gang hopping is not difficult for them.
With Wang Rui's order, groups of Fushan Army soldiers jumped over like monkeys.
The person who jumped first immediately began to guard in groups of three to pick up the companions behind him. In less than a moment, countless soldiers of the Fushan Army rushed past each of the Japanese boats. Under the organization of their respective officers, they began to sweep away the Japanese from corner to corner.
The white-knuckle battle that the Japanese expected did not appear as scheduled, and the Japanese who wanted to hide and plot against the soldiers of the Fushan Army did not take advantage of it.
Because the soldiers of the Fushan Army would not rush into the cabin to fight the Japanese invaders, the Fushan Army threw a few grenades into every place where people might be hidden. After blowing up the Japanese pirates half to death, they rushed in to clean up the battlefield.
Two quarters of an hour later, Xiong Wenjie and Long Quanyu came to report excitedly: "My lord, all the widows have been solved!" ā
"Solved? That's it? Wang Rui asked. Pan Xuezhong also had a look of disbelief.
"It's over, sir! Our grenades are so easy to use! As soon as you say hello, no matter how tough the wolf is, it will be blown up to a blur of flesh and blood! Long Duan replied with a smile.
"That's good! Organize everyone and start moving the captured supplies! The ship of the Japanese Invaders, the one that was blown up, we don't want it. Directly blow up and sink! Wang Rui ordered.
"Haha! It's so cool to come out and fight the Japanese robbers! Pan Xuezhong finally slipped out to fight with Wang Rui this time, and was even more happy to see that he had successfully killed the Japanese and snatched the other party's supplies.
"Hmmm! This time the harvest is very rich! We can go back! Wang Rui said with a smile.
"Go back? Third brother, this place is very close to Fukue Island! Let's take a rare trip, so let's just go and loot Fukue Island together! Pan Xuezhong proposed.
"I'm grass! I can't imagine that my second brother is still a war maniac! Wang Rui smiled in his heart.
