Chapter 288: Capture Wako Island
Two days later, the 50,000 navy led by Le Yi and the 5,000 officers and men of the Shenji Battalion specially designated by the emperor gathered at the location indicated in the letter sent by Lewen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother and courtier, see Your Majesty!"
When Le Yi got the flying pigeon biography written by Le Wen, he couldn't sit still with excitement, and he immediately led the navy and 5,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers assigned to him by Le Wen to take the warship and rushed at full speed.
Lewen let Le Yi calm down, and then smiled: "Very good, Brother Yi, you will go with me to occupy Wako Island, are you ready?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, my brother has long wanted to destroy those damned pirates."
Le Yi's eyes are very firm, during the time he was guarding the border of the Southeast China Sea, he had many battles with the damn Japanese Kou, don't look at Le Yimu's uprightness, but he is a wizard of war, especially in leading troops, orderly, and really has the demeanor of a general.
The Shenji Battalion of Da Leguo is now advanced through Lewen, and uses arquebus tactics, which make up for the shortcomings of the slow firing speed of muskets when the muskets could not shoot continuously at that time.
This is the platoon gun three-stage strike tactics, the specific operation of this tactic is that the musket team is divided into three rows, the first row shoots after the second row shoots, the first row and the third row exchange positions when the second row shoots, and then the rear is loaded with gunpowder, etc., the second row shoots after the second row shoots, the second row exchanges positions with the first row at the beginning, replenishes ammunition, and the third row shoots after the first row shoots, so that the interval time is greatly shortened. Three rows alternately reload and fire, tripling the efficiency of arquebuses that would otherwise take a minute or more to shoot at a time! Approximate European semi-maneuver tactics.
At this time, although the arquebus was more powerful than the bow and crossbow, after the musket was shot, it had to go through the gunpowder, draw out the through strip from under the barrel, ram the lead shot and gunpowder, and aim at the enemy at the fire arquebus, and occasionally clean the hole after shooting, so it took about a minute to put a shot, and the enemy who fought at close range after the shot would charge, and the musket team would suffer great losses.
The three-stage fire of the platoon gun is also very advantageous in dealing with the cavalry, which can continuously hit the enemy's morale and frighten the horses of the enemy's cavalry.
Although there were not many horses in the Warring States of Wako, there were still knights.
Just like in the late Warring States period, Oda Nobunaga's musket team defeated Takeda Katsuyori's cavalry with three rounds in the Battle of Nagashinosa.
If at this time, there is a musket team organized by Oda Nobunaga, as well as Oda Nobunaga's three-stage shots, and those famous generals of the Japanese Warring States, then Lewen really has to consider whether to attack Wako Island, but all this is not if, Oda Nobunaga has not yet been born at this time.
Although the Japanese also have artillery, their artillery is very inferior and the number is small, and the muskets of the Japanese Warring States at this time are also backward compared to those of the Great Le Dynasty, and the number of muskets is also small, and there are no tactics at all, most of them still use samurai swords.
This is also the reason why Lewen wants to attack the Wako Island at this time, originally Lewen wanted to wait for another two years, but the battle with the Wako just now made Lewen feel more and more that this group of Wako is too rampant, and they dare to openly fight against the royal fleet of the Great Lechao, this is simply a provocation, they must die.
Le Wen was in high spirits, and instructed Su Hao behind him: "Su Hao, pass on my will, order the royal warships to advance at full speed, we will land on Wako Island and occupy them." ”
When Su Hao heard the emperor's order, his eyes were straight and he was slightly stunned, but he also dared to say anything, bowed down and said, "...... Your Majesty. ”
"Full speed ahead! The whole army is ready to land on Wako Island! ”
"Hooray! Hooray......"
After the decree was issued, the whole army cheered, everyone had long wanted to eliminate this group of damned Japanese invaders, and the source of the continuous flow of Japanese Invaders was the Waiko Island, as long as the Waiko were eliminated and the Waiko Island was occupied, the southeastern border of the Great Pleasure Dynasty could be calmed.
In the emperor's special cabin of the imperial ship, singing and dancing, Le Wen half snuggled on the dragon couch, Ding Ke'er's delicate body snuggled up to Le Wen, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are so good to your concubine, as soon as the concubine proposed to attack the Japanese Kou, you really want to destroy the Japanese Kou in one fell swoop, and the concubine is really moved." ”
Lewen stretched his waist and said with a faint smile: "This is nothing, I actually wanted to destroy this Wako Island in one fell swoop for a long time, but I didn't have that force at that time, and now the Great Le Dynasty is all mine, and if I want to destroy this Wako Island, isn't it a matter of effort." ”
In fact, when Lewen was a county commander on the coast, he wanted to destroy the Japanese in one fell swoop, but at that time he was just a small county commander, and he could only use the little force under his command to eliminate the pirates who harassed the border, but if he wanted to occupy the Japanese island, he could only think about it, but now Lewen definitely has the strength to attack the Japanese island.
Wako Island
On the coast of Okuma Province, a huge fleet of Okuma naval vessels suddenly appeared, and landed on the border of Okuma Province, and the border of Okuma Province was fishing and the Japanese were fighting, and when they saw such a huge fleet, they hurriedly ran towards the nearby towns, and shouted loudly as they ran, and it seemed that the Japanese would shout such a sentence when they were excited or frightened.
When he came to the border of Okuma Province, Lewen ordered the whole army to disembark, and then the musketeers opened the way, and when they encountered the town, they ordered the artillerymen to bombard the city wall.
"Eight grid tooth roads, all of them are resisted by me, and I can't let the Dale Army attack ......"
"Tom......"
The general who defended the city raised his sword, stood and shouted, but as soon as he shouted such a voice, a cannonball blasted towards him, and instantly bombarded him into black charcoal, leaving only the Japanese sword, "fluttering", fell under the corner of the city wall, cut off the weeds under the corner of the wall, a flying insect to avoid the war, panicked and flew out of the weeds, in the smoke of the city wall just flew high, another cannonball flew towards the city wall, and this small flying insect blasted towards Okuma Castle.
Because it was the Warring States Period, all the Japanese were soldiers, except for the Japanese women.
The soldiers were very fast, and the Okuma soldiers on the island did not make any preparations at all, and the Dale army attacked and killed them, taking them by surprise, and there were cries of pain from the Japanese people everywhere.
