Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Impregnable Dazaifu
Since the main purpose of the various units was to train troops, the Liangshan Army did not play any tactics in this attack on the Japanese State, but with absolute strength and upright soldiers, it first swept away the periphery of Kyushu Island, Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and the Goto Islands.
It's funny to say, and I don't know what Gong Bo and Gong Fu's uncle and nephew said to the Japanese people, or if the Japanese people think that they have learned from the Tang people for hundreds of years, they are already very awesome.
However, after the night attack on Tamna Island, these Japanese people knew that the Liangshan army would definitely counterattack, but they did not concentrate their forces to defend Kyushu Island and Hirado Island, which is the closest to Kyushu.
Instead, they chose the strategy of not giving up an inch of land, and even sent people to strengthen the garrison on Tsushima Island and the Goto Islands, and sent two or three thousand troops to garrison them.
As a result, these places were naturally attacked by the Liangshan army, relying on strong ships and artillery, strong bows and crossbows, and forced landing, and soon occupied Tsushima Island, Iki Island, Goto Island, and other large and small islands.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is occupied, but in fact there are too many hills and primeval forests on these islands.
Especially Tsushima Island, it can be said that 95% of the area is covered by hills and dense forests with no paths at all.
However, occupying the main flat land, water sources, ports and wharves of each island, and then towing all the small fishing boats and small sea boats of the Japanese people ashore, leaving some people on the island, they are not afraid that they will be able to turn the sky.
As soon as the follow-up army of the Liangshan army and the recruited craftsmen arrived to build whaling bases on these islands, these Japanese who fled to the dense forest either stayed in the mountains but were savages, or they could only go out of the dense forest as prisoners and become slaves for the Liangshan army to cut wood and burn fires.
Four days later, after sweeping the outlying islands, the first 15,000 Japanese troops had arrived in Hakata Bay.
"Ahead is Hakata Port, a little more than a quarter of an hour away!"
With Hucheng as a guide, when the fleet passed by Nenggu Island, a small island off the coast of Hakata Bay, the whole fleet became excited, and Wang Yin and Xiao Jiasui, who were in charge of the expedition, were even more excited.
Thinking that one of them was originally a stonemason, and the other was a hermit, how could he have thought that one day he would lead a large army to defend the territory of China and spread his prestige overseas?
Especially Wang Yin, at this moment, it seems that he has seen the Liangshan battleship firing ten thousand cannons, and then he led the Beiwei infantry army to land first, invincible, and killed the scene of the Japanese slave ghost crying wolf.
This picture is so beautiful that Wang Yin's whole body can't help but tremble slightly.
However, as the commander of the whole army, with Xiao Jiasui on the side, it was the first time to lead the troops to fight alone, and Wang Yin could only force his temperament, and first sent people to investigate the enemy's situation and test the strength of the Japanese people.
Soon, one large, two small and three warships puffed up their sails and rushed towards the distant land that was already in sight, Wang Yin suppressed his inner excitement and ordered loudly: "Order all departments to slow down, all ships in battle formation, and prepare for battle!" ”
The horn sounded, the flag-bearer on the overhead mast waved the flag quickly, and the order was quickly conveyed.
"Sure enough, the Han army is mighty, unparalleled in the world!"
Xiao Jiasui looked at all the sailors on the flagship, the clean and neat movements of the gunners, and the high-spirited spirit of everyone, and he was also excited.
"General Wang, the morale of the soldiers is very high! This battle will be won! ”
Wang Yin nodded, and couldn't help but look into the distance with some distraction: "I hope the Japanese slaves won't let us down." ”
In fact, Wang Yin is also very strange, where do these Japanese slaves get their self-confidence?
Let's just say that in the previous battle to seize the island, it was obvious that the Liangshan warships were covering the sky and the sun, and the number of people was obviously much larger than them, but those dwarfs on the island were still fearless and did not retreat from the pier.
Even when the Yangsan Army Marines landed, these dwarves launched a counter-charge against the Marines without hesitation.
Then he was taught to be a man by the strong bow and crossbow on the battleship.
I have to say that although these Japanese are very short and not very good at tactical weapons, their courage is really commendable, and their will to fight is much stronger than that of the Koreans.
However, this is a good thing for the Liangshan army, if the Japanese army retreats to Dazaifu, then although the Liangshan army will have no difficulty landing, it will be a little difficult to annihilate the Japanese army on the island.
Because according to Lin Junzhu's explanation and Hu Cheng's description, Wang Yin knew that the fortifications of Dazaifu, the capital city of Kyushu, could indeed be said to be strong and abnormal.
This has to start from more than 400 years ago, when it was still in the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese people coveted the land of the peninsula, so they sent troops to the Andong Peninsula and fought a battle of Baijiangkou with the Tang army.
The result of this battle was naturally the defeat of the Japanese army, and the 40,000 Japanese army was almost completely wiped out, and the news was transmitted back to the Japanese state, and the eldest brother prince of the Japanese state at that time (his father, Emperor Qi Ming, died before the battle of Baijiangkou, and the middle eldest brother prince did not ascend the throne, but was called in the name of the crown prince, and did not officially ascend the throne until 7 years later), fearing that the Tang army would fight all the way to the Japanese state.
So the eldest brother of the prince immediately ordered to concentrate the national strength of the whole country, and built a Luo Castle with a circumference of more than 100 miles around Dazaifu, which was made of mounds of earth, five zhang wide and more than three zhang high.
In addition, the north of Dazaifu is close to the mountain, and there is a strong Ono Castle built on the mountain, which is not only condescending, but also has a tendency to fight with Dazaifu.
There is also a mountain to the south of Dazaifu, and this so-called Rajo Castle is built around Dazaifu like the Great Wall of China.
In addition to Rajo, Tadazaifu is facing the flat land in the direction of Hakata Port, and the outside of Rajo is close to a large mound of earth, and the Japanese also built a large water castle to resist attacks from the direction of Hakata Bay.
According to Hu Cheng's description, this whole set of fortifications can really be called impregnable!
(Historically, the Mongols attacked the Wa kingdom twice, and it was this city that effectively resisted the Mongol offensive, making it impossible for it to storm Dazaifu and had to retreat to the ship, only to encounter typhoons on both occasions.) )
If the Japanese people held the Luocheng of Dazaifu, unless they used gunpowder shells, the Liangshan army really didn't have a good way to deal with them.
However, this attack on the Japanese State was for military training, and the Lin army master was not equipped with gunpowder weapons at all!
Xiao Jiasui also had such worries, but at this time he said confidently: "I see the arrogance of the Japanese people, there must be a heavy army on the shore to prevent us from landing!" ”
"Hurry, hurry!"
Just when Wang Yin and Xiao Jiasui were worried, Ruan Xiaoqi stood on the front deck, urging from time to time.
Speaking of which, the three Ruan brothers have gone from being bitter fishermen to being admirals of the Liangshan Army, Ruan Xiaoqi was originally very satisfied, and he was smiling from ear to ear every day, as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
However, this time the Japanese attacked Tamna Island, and actually burned and burned three warships of the Liangshan Army at once, killing and wounding nearly 2,000 people on the island.
Because of this, his second brother was pushed to the end by the military master and transferred to Shuibo to be a transportation chief.
Ruan Xiaoqi naturally didn't blame Lin Chong for this, so he could only sprinkle all his anger on these widows.
"Little dwarfs, wash them all and wait to die!"
