Chapter 466: Victory in the first battle

Xiao Yan said: "The giant ships of the Japanese invaders are connected and arranged, spreading for dozens of miles, "looking at it like a mountain", and the momentum is overwhelming. In terms of momentum, our army has already lost a layer, and the Japanese must think that our army will not dare to attack, so let's take him by surprise, first send a vanguard force to tempt the Japanese army, lure them out, and then send a surprise attack force to surround the enemy army pursued by the Japanese invaders! Catch him off guard! ”

"Who is the pioneer!" Yue Yunping agreed with Xiao Yan's idea without thinking about it, and went directly to the pioneer.

At this time, Xiang Xiaoyu stood up and said, "I am willing to be a pioneer!" ”

This time Xiang Xiaoyu was not brave, after some things he also had some ideas in his heart, before this he carefully analyzed the weaknesses of the enemy ships, and knew how to fight the vanguard this time.

"Good! That general led the dreadnought battalion as the vanguard army, the master of Longmen, General Ruan, you led the backbone brothers of Longmen and the brothers of the Xuanji battalion as surprise troops, and set off immediately! ”

"Yes!" The generals said yes and went down to prepare.

Xiang Xiaoyu returned to his temporary residence, ready to pack up and leave, when he was suddenly hugged by someone, "Brother Xiaoyu!" Where are you going? I'm going too! ”

Xiang Xiaoyu turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yao, dressed in a military uniform, and she had sneaked here at first glance, Xiang Xiaoyu was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Why did you come with you?" Didn't you wait at the camp? How did you sneak out. Xiang Xiaoyu had already ordered the soldiers to guard her before she came, but she didn't expect to let her run out.

Xiao Yao pursed her lips and said, "People are going to be with you." You don't have time to spend with people these days. ”

Xiang Xiaoyu put his hands on Xiao Yao's shoulders with a wry smile, looked at her and said seriously: "Yaoyao! I'm not joking, I'm at war, and my life is in danger at any time. You're only going to cause me trouble, and I won't be able to take care of you then. Can you go back and stay there? ”

"Oh." Xiao Yao pouted, very helpless, she couldn't argue with Xiang Xiaoyu, so she had to agree to go back for fear of upsetting him.

"I'll send someone back, you go and wait outside. I have something important to do. With that, he pushed Xiao Yao out.

Sending Xiao Yao away, Xiang Xiaoyu took out his original weapon, Fang Tian Painting Halberd, in fact, Xiang Xiaoyu was not good at making guns, he just felt that the gun was more flexible, but this battle could not be sloppy, there was a chance to fight with the enemy and there was no room for mistakes, so he decided to use Fang Tian to draw a halberd.

After packing up, Xiang Xiaoyu set off with ten boats, a total of 1,000 Dreadnought Battalion brothers, and this lineup was just right. The boat is flexible, and if it doesn't work, it can still be withdrawn. What's more, there are dozens of ships from the Xuanji Battalion and Longmen to respond.

Xiang Xiaoyu ordered his ship troops to be divided into squads, borrowed the muskets of the Shenji Battalion and the arrows and crossbows of the Chongling Battalion, and fired muskets and crossbow arrows when approaching the enemy, and after approaching the enemy's ships, he climbed onto the enemy ships and engaged the enemy in close quarters. This is Xiang Xiaoyu's strategy. Xiang Xiaoyu didn't intend to be tempted, he directly fought with the Japanese Kou, he believed that he could give the Japanese a trauma by doing so. Run when you're done!

Gathering the fleet, Xiang Xiaoyu led his fleet and began to approach the Japanese and launched a surprise attack.

He led the advance army in the lead, and after approaching the Japanese army, he unexpectedly led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was greatly flustered, and they didn't think that the Daoming army would actually take the initiative to attack, so they hurriedly sent a fleet to meet it, and at this time, Xiang Xiaoyu's fleet was suddenly divided into eleven teams to besiege the giant ships of the Japanese from different angles.

Due to the inconvenience of the giant ship's movement, it was impossible to repel Xiang Xiaoyu's attack at all, and Xiang Xiaoyu's army took advantage of the situation to climb one of the giant ships, "Brothers, kill!" Xiang Xiaoyu took the brunt of the killing, this giant ship had more than 1,000 Japanese invaders, and finally killed more than 1,000 enemies and captured the ship, and the Japanese front army was defeated.

The Japanese army discovered the characteristics of Xiang Xiaoyu's attack, so they concentrated dozens of giant ships to launch a group attack. Xiang Xiaoyu hurriedly retreated the fleet, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to attack, but they didn't expect that this was a trap.

At this time, the Xuanji Battalion and Longmen, which received Xiang Xiaoyu's troops, had arrived to directly surround the pursuing Japanese army, and Long Shaoze, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately concentrated a large number of artillery and bombarded the Japanese army that entered the firing range, and the Japanese forward fleet was almost completely annihilated, and dozens of warships were burned.

However, the Ming army also suffered a lot of casualties, especially Xiang Xiaoyu's ship ran aground and was surrounded, and it was in danger of accidents. The battle was in a stalemate. From morning to dusk, the two sides closed their troops, and the battle came to an end, with casualties on both sides, regardless of victory or defeat.

The next day, Yue Yunping personally led the sailors into battle. However, the Japanese ships were huge, and the Ming warships were too small to attack on their backs, and they suffered setbacks one after another. In the continuous defeat and retreat, Yue Yunping realized that if this continued, the whole army would be annihilated, and at the critical moment, Xiao Yan suggested to him: "Xiao Yan thinks that the enemy situation is serious now, it is not that the soldiers do not work hard, there is really no way, the enemy's ships are too big, we can't defeat them, we can only attack with fire!" It's windy tonight! ”

"Good!" Yue Yunping was overjoyed, Yue Yunping was very convinced of Xiao Yan, so he directly adopted his suggestion and decided to use fire to attack the enemy instead! "But this fire attack is going to get a few fishing boats, the goal is not big, take advantage of the darkness to defeat the enemy." He immediately sent people to arrange, ordered seven ships to load gunpowder, put the scarecrows in armor, made movements, organized death squads to steer the ships, and sent people to answer.

"Who's going to do the fishing boat?" Yue Yunping asked,

"Let's do it at the end!" Yang Yiqun recommended himself, he just had some ways in his hands, and it couldn't be easier to get a few fishing boats.

At dusk, a northeast wind blew on the sea, and at night, Yue Yunping selected a few brave soldiers from the dreadnought battalion to drive ten fishing boats, which were loaded with gunpowder and firewood, approached the enemy ships, and set fire to them with the wind, and the wind was fierce and spread rapidly.

These seven ships approached the Japanese warship after ignition, and the fire borrowed the wind, and the wind helped the fire! The warship was too large and inflexible to break away, and it was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire.

Yue Yunping took the opportunity to order the army to launch a general attack, and for a while, the sound of killing shook the sky.

For a time, the flames soared, the sea was red, and in an instant, dozens of huge ships of the Japanese army were burned, more than half of the Japanese army was killed and wounded, Yue Yunping waved his army to launch a fierce attack, and killed more than 2,000 enemies. This battle started Yue Yunping's name.

The victory in this battle laid the foundation for the future landing on the Nameless Island. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the casualties in this battle were greatly damaged.

At this time, Miyamoto Lang was resting in the Chinese army, still dreaming of annihilating the Ming army, when suddenly the soldiers ran in in a panic and shouted: "Mr. Miyamoto! Big things are wrong! ”
