Chapter 145: Zhejiang's Recovery
As Chen Di expected, Xiangshan and Fenghua's Japanese invaders arrived in Ningbo two days later and entered the city of Ningbo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Di ordered the Flying Tigers and the Furang Mercenaries to advance one mile from the city of Ningbo. The brethren of the artillery battalion and the Franciscans set up eighty guns. Chen Di ordered that at night, ten artillery pieces should be used every hour to fire a salvo over the city of Ningbo.
There is such a record in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that in the battle of Hanzhong, the Shu army used the tired tactic of beating drums every night to deal with the Wei army. Chen Di's tired tactics were not war drums, but real Franc machine iron-shelled flowering bullets!
In the city, the Japanese did not sleep well, but they also had to be bombed. After three days, I couldn't hold it anymore.
A Japanese leader reported to Koizumi Turtle Kang: "Daimyo, in the past few days, the Ming army outside the city has been firing at us every night!" Our soldiers can't sleep at all! And hundreds of people are killed in the city every night. ”
Originally, Koizumi wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head. He believed that the Ming army had run out of food and grass and would naturally retreat. Unexpectedly, the Ming army had eighty Franc machine fast cannons to make hammers, and his turtle was in pain in the shell.
Koizumi Turtle Kang scolded hysterically: "This group of damned Ming people, pass my order, and all the troops will go out of the city to attack the Ming army!" ”
More than 30,000 pirates poured out of Ningbo City.
Under the order of Koizumi Turtle Kang, 30,000 people collectively rushed towards the Flying Tiger Army. Most of the 30,000 people under Koizumi Turtle Kang were ashigaru from the Japanese peasants, and there was no tactics or phalanx to speak of.
On the side of the Flying Tiger Army, Chen Di gave an order, and the Flying Tiger Arms Gunner and the Furlong Machine mercenaries began to shoot at the Japanese Invaders.
With more than 30,000 peasants, how can Ashigaru resist the flying guns?
Chen Di also ordered 80 Fulong cannons to concentrate their fire on the Japanese pirates.
The firepower network composed of more than 1,000 Tiger guns of the Flying Tiger Army, nearly 2,000 arquebuses and 80 Fran cannons was like a broom, sweeping towards the Japanese who were reunited in a dense manner.
Row after row of the Wako ashigaru fell. These peasants came from Ashigaru and didn't believe in bushido. Further, there was a dead end, and they began to retreat.
Koizumi did not stop the rout, and he fled into the city with the rout.
The Japanese invaded the city and counted the number of people, and the charge just now left them dead and wounded more than 3,000 people.
When Koizumi Turtle Kang heard this number, his mouth grew in surprise: "What? We've lost 3,000 people in this way? ”
Koizumi Turtle Kang secretly thought that if this battle continued like this, the army he had been building for 20 years would be completely wiped out by the Ming army sooner or later!
In fact, the shells of the Flying Tiger Army's Franc cannon have been exhausted, and the paper shell shells have also been used up, if the 30,000 Japanese Invaders are desperate and charge towards the Flying Tiger Army regardless of casualties, maybe the Japanese Invaders will be able to win.
It's a pity that Koizumi is not Inoue Shishiro, and his Ashigaru is not the samurai who are not afraid of death under Inoue Shiro.
Koizumi Yasu made up his mind - retreat!
Ten miles east of Ningbo Mansion is the sea, and there are hundreds of Japanese ships moored on the sea.
Koizumi gave the order, and nearly 30,000 Japanese invaders fled towards the seashore in disarray.
Yu Dayou said to Chen Di: "My lord, the Japanese have begun to retreat!" Are we going to go after it? ”
Chen Di ordered: "Flying Tiger Army, Franc Machine mercenaries, queue forward!" Hunt down the Wakos! ”
Because the Flying Tigers and the Furlong Mercenaries were not equipped with cold weapons, they were all firearms, so they could only advance in a neat queue. What Chen Di was afraid of was that once the formation was out of order, the would-be wouldn't be able to form a firing queue, and they would suffer a big loss.
The speed of the queue was very slow, and the Flying Tigers and the Furlong Mercenaries chased all the way to the sea, and the pirates were all on the ships and set sail to the sea.
Qi Jiguang stomped his foot anxiously: "This group of damn widows, they can escape quickly!" ”
Chen Di said: "Yes, it's a pity that we don't have a single warship in our hands!" If we have a strong sailor, we can cut off the retreat of the Japanese and wipe them out! ”
On the sixth day of the fourth month of the 25th year of his family, Koizumi and his subordinates fled back to the Japanese country by boat. Ningbo is recovered, and the whole territory of Zhejiang is recovered!
In the battle of Zhejiang, Chen Di, the governor of Zhejiang, joined the army with more than 1,000 flying tigers, annihilated nearly 70,000 Japanese invaders, and recovered a province in Zhejiang. Chen Di's prestige has spread all over the world!
The capital, in the main hall of Yongshou Palace.
Emperor Jiajing was closing his eyes and meditating on the dragon couch.
Lu Fang hurriedly ran into the main hall. In a panic, he hit the threshold of the main hall and almost tripped over.
A little father-in-law was quick and helped Lu Fang.
Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes slightly: "What are you doing Lu Fang, why are you so monkey-armed and monkey-footed?" ”
Lu Fang knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister deserves death!" Your Majesty, urgent military report! Ningbo victory! The whole territory of Zhejiang is recovered! ”
Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened: "What? Lu Fang, you say it again! ”
Lu Fang smiled and said, "The emperor's power is far away! Ningbo victory! The whole territory of Zhejiang is recovered! ”
Jiajing Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "Ningbo's widows were also defeated by Chen Di?" ”
Lu Fang said: "The emperor is shengming! Since the Ma Ye annihilated the Japanese in Jiaxing and Hangzhou, the Japanese in Ningbo have long been frightened! According to the good news, as soon as the Japanese invaders in Ningbo engaged the Flying Tiger Army, more than 3,000 people were killed! The rest of the pirates are scared! They fled east to the ship and fled back to the country by sea! ”
Emperor Jiajing patted the armrest of the dragon couch with his hand: "Okay! Good! Good! ”
Emperor Jiajing said three good words in a row.
"Immediately summon the ministers to the Yongshou Palace to discuss matters! In addition, you sent a few Jinyi guards to send a pot of imperial wine to Chen Di in Zhejiang! Let Jinyi Wei pass on my message, saying that the recovery of Zhejiang, Chen Di and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army are indispensable, and the imperial court will give them all the rewards they can give! Emperor Jiajing said.
Lu Fang took the order and left.
An hour later, the ministers gathered in the main hall of Yongshou Palace.
Yan party officials, all of them were overjoyed. Who in the world doesn't know that Chen Di is the most hardcore strict party? Zhejiang fell, and only more than 1,000 remnants of the Flying Tiger Army remained in the available troops in Jiangnan. When Chen Di set out on the expedition, all the officials of the court thought that he was going to be more auspicious. Who knew that Chen Di used his soldiers like a god, with a thousand Flying Tiger Army against 100,000 Japanese invaders, and he actually annihilated nearly 70,000 Japanese invaders and recaptured Zhejiang Province! It's nothing short of a miracle!
Chen Di, the most hardcore Yan Party, has made such great contributions, and the officials of the Yan Party naturally feel that their faces are bright.
The officials of the first assistant Xia Yan and the party were unhappy in their hearts! There is no Ming in the hearts of these gossip officials, only party strife! Chen Di has made great contributions, and the gossip officials of the Xia Party are sour and vinegary in their hearts.
If you are unhappy, you are not happy, the emperor is sitting on the dragon couch, and they can't cry with a sad face. Is it a funeral for the Ming army to recover Zhejiang? If the emperor sees their displeasure, then they will definitely lose their heads! Therefore, the Xia Party officials are also celebrating with their crowns.
