Chapter 606: The First Battle on the Middle Sea Road (Part I)
Then, the third and fourth groups landed on the island one after another, each performing their own duties, turning Shikashima into a huge military camp. By the afternoon, the green tents on the island had become one and the people were everywhere, and from a distance, it was clear that Shikashima had changed beyond recognition, and the Japanese were dumbfounded!
Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan, is really bold!
Da Song, you are really rich!
In the evening, Cheng Yue took his wife and concubine to the island, and along the way, all the troops cheered and saluted him. After so many years of fighting, this is the most comfortable one! The king of Zhennan loves the people like a son, and his name is well deserved!
The 100,000-strong army could not complete the landing on the island during the day, and nearly 40,000 people came ashore at night with torches. Cheng Yue didn't have to worry about this, he and his wife and concubine had a sumptuous seafood dinner in the tent, and he was in a very good mood.
The wives and concubines all ate with relish, and Mrs. Jin and Yahime, who ate seafood for the first time, were even more happy, and Izumo didn't stop until the eighth conch, and said with satisfaction: "Official, it's so good to come out this time, you can eat anything." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "If you like it, there will be tomorrow, we will live on the island for five or six days, and Dazaifu is not far from the sea." ”
Mrs. Jin said: "Lord Wang, if you didn't fight today, you will fight tomorrow, right?" ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said: "I measured the tide today, and the lowest time at low tide tomorrow morning should be around seven fifty o'clock, less than three hours before and after, that is to say, at half past six o'clock tomorrow morning, Haizhong Road will gradually emerge from under the water." After today, Otomo Yoritai should be ready, and by seven o'clock at most, the sea water will be stained red with blood. Tomorrow. For the Goryeo Army. It's going to be a very difficult day. And it will be three days in a row. ”
Mrs. Jin sighed and said, "Tomorrow, there will be many people who will never see their parents and wives again, it's really pitiful." ”
Cheng Yue also sighed when he heard this, and said: "Our sacrifice today is all for the sake of the people in the future, and there will be no more wars, which is also a helpless thing." ”
After eating, Cheng Yue washed up. first went to the tent of the four ladies for a long time, and enjoyed the joy of fish and water with the new love Mrs. Jin. Then he returned to his sleeping tent, leaving only Wan Ze, Rou Niang, Zhang Shufang and Ye Yiyi to serve, and fell asleep early.
The next day, Cheng Yue got up early in the morning, and the shouts of the Goryeo army could be heard outside. As soon as Cheng Yue had breakfast, Jin Fangqing led his army to the beachhead of Haizhong Road to protect the craftsmen who were under construction.
At the other end of Haizhong Road, there were 5,000 heavily armed Japanese elites, led by Otomo Yoritai and Otomo Qinshi. He was staring at the water, waiting for the middle of the sea to surface.
The sun rises early in the summer. When the sky was bright, the sea slowly receded, and a muddy and narrow road in the sea loomed into the air.
Jin Fangqing stared at this narrow road, looked at the Japanese army in the distance, beckoned Pu Qiu and Jin Zhouding to step forward, pointed to the middle of the sea and said: "You two, lead a thousand people up, and I will sweep you into battle." There are craftsmen sent by the prince at work, and we must not let them be killed or injured, otherwise it will be our defeat. ”
Pu Qiu and Jin Zhouding said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Shizhong, we will not retreat a step, and we will do our best to hit the shore of Kyushu." ”
Jin Fangqing slapped them on the shoulder at the same time and said, "Go ahead." ”
The two of them gathered a thousand elite soldiers, carefully stepped into the water, waded ankle-high water, avoided the construction craftsmen, and advanced forward.
At the same time, a large number of Japanese troops also stepped on the middle of the sea road and killed the Goryeo army head-on.
Cheng Yue and his generals sat on the highest mountain in Shika Island and observed the battle between the two armies with binoculars.
The road in the sea is very narrow, the narrowest place can only walk two or three people side by side, from the mountain, on the clear sea, the two armies marching in a column are like two continuous lines, getting closer and closer to each other, and they are about to collide head-on!
The morale of both armies was high, everyone was full of confidence in victory, and there was no hesitation in the steps of the opponent.
The man ahead was less than fifty paces away! At this distance, the bow and arrow were able to break through the armor, so a dense rain of arrows was shot from both sides, and some of the people who were shot were not shot to the vital point, and they rushed forward again in pain, and some fell headlong into the icy sea water and turned into a floating corpse.
The people around him kept falling, but the soldiers on both sides did not pause in the slightest, but rushed forward faster.
Twenty steps!
The opponent's eyebrows were already clearly visible, and the soldiers at the head of the two sides invariably raised their weapons and shields, roared wildly, and swooped forward!
Cheng Yue is not wrong, the Japanese are indeed crazy, the Koreans are indeed ruthless, the two armies meet, the swords are everywhere, the flesh and blood are flying, no one cares about the life and death of others, the eyes are only staring at the enemy in front of them, chopping, blocking, stabbing, chopping, picking, hitting and even - biting!
The sound of the knife slashing into flesh and blood, and the screams and roars that followed, resounded across the sea, and the people in front fell in waves, and the people behind rushed up one after another, and everyone's eyes were red, as red as blood.
On both sides of the middle of the road, corpses and severed limbs were soon floating, and large swaths of the sea water were stained red. Since it was too late to push the corpse in front of him into the sea, the people behind could only step on the corpse in front to kill the enemy, and then become one of them themselves, making the corpses on the road in the sea accumulate higher and higher.
Park Qiu and Kim Ju-ding commanded their elite to move forward bravely, and the Goryeo army did not fail their efforts, and all the Japanese troops who rushed over were killed by them one by one, and the Goryeo army itself also paid a heavy casualties. It was almost a life for a life, but the Japanese had a slight advantage.
As time passed, Haizhong Road was completely exposed to the sea, and the fighting became more and more fierce. Under the bright sunshine, one after another fresh lives left this world, and the seriously injured and undead were floated and sunk on the sea, and those who drifted far away would be rescued by the ship sent by Cheng Yue.
Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen each held a pen to record the number of dead and wounded on both sides from the beginning according to Cheng Yue's instructions, and at this moment Wan Ze suddenly raised his head and said to Cheng Yue: "Lord Wang, the Japanese army has killed 300 people, and the Goryeo army has killed 373 people. ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "The Goryeo army is not bad, but it is indeed inferior to the Japanese army." ”
Zhang Hongfan sighed: "Lord, the Japanese are really not afraid of death, the people in front are dead, the people in the back don't stop, and then cut again, the prince once said that the Japanese are fierce enemies, and that's true." ”
Zhang Shijie glared at each other and said to Zhang Hongfan: "What? Do you still doubt what the prince said? ”
Where did Zhang Hongfan dare to provoke his cousin, and said with a smile: "What my cousin said is that I lost my words." ”
Ou Luchi frowned and said, "Instigation, if it's you, can you rush through?" (To be continued.) )
