Chapter 981 Ten trestle bridges, ten roads through hell

（o981）

[Today's second shift is delivered]

That's right, Maeda Ryota's heart is indeed unconvinced by the defeat of the Korean War. *Ad-free ~Vertex*~Net Collection~Apex*Dot* Book City, like most of the Japanese shogunate leaders, believes that the war against Korea should not end like that. Due to some peculiarities of the Tokugawa shogunate, this unconvincing thought became more and more intense, to the point that it was difficult to control.

At the beginning, Tokugawa Ieyasu retained most of his strength because he did not participate in the war against Korea, and finally after Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, he defeated many opponents and created the Tokugawa shogunate. Therefore, in a sense, Tokugawa Ieyasu definitely took advantage. If he also participated in the war and lost his troops, he might not be the boss of Japan.

In order to cover up the fact that he did not send troops in the first place, Tokugawa Ieyasu has always advocated war against Korea. He explained the reason why he did not play because he belonged to the second echelon. If the first echelon holds out for a long time, he will lead his army to land in Korea. Such an explanation, of course, made those troops who participated in the war even more unconvinced.

In fact, at that time on the Korean battlefield, the Japanese army was really not completely annihilated. Their troops were basically still in good condition, but they suffered heavy losses in their soldiers, and in the end, they had to retreat. It is indeed difficult to predict what will happen if the Japanese grit their teeth and persist.

Of course, it is certain that even if the Japanese broke the cauldron and threw all their troops and resources, they would not be able to achieve victory. At that time, Japan and the Ming Kingdom in the Wanli period had no possibility of confrontation at all. If the war continues to drag on, it will only make the casualties of the Japanese even worse.

Ryota Maeda's ancestor did not participate in the attack on North Korea. Perhaps, it was because he didn't even go to the battlefield that made Maeda Ryota have a mentality, that is, he couldn't defeat Ming Guo because he didn't make a move. If you make your own move, you will definitely win. It is indeed too weak to have wastes like Xiaonishi Yukicho, Kato Kiyomasa, and Kuroda Nagamasa as commanders.

This attack on Sado Island, originally Maeda Ryota didn't need to make a move at all. He was the elder of the Tokugawa shogunate, and his status was very high. It stands to reason that for such a small thing as attacking Sado Island, it will not be the turn of the elder to make a move. However, Ryota Maeda took the initiative to ask for help. He wanted to prove to others that he was actually very capable of fighting.

The elder was not a permanent position in the Tokugawa shogunate. The power of this position, a bit like the three princes and three divisions of the Ming Kingdom, is very respected, and ordinary people can never be granted. However, unlike the three princes and three divisions, the power of the elder is by no means virtual, but real.

This position, to be precise, has a bit of a taste of being above 10,000 people under two people, nominally, the emperor and the general are above the elders. In fact, only the position of a general is a little higher than that of a great elder. It is a well-known fact that the emperor of Japan himself had no power.

Ryota Maeda was a confidant of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second Tokugawa shogun. After the death of Tokugawa Hidetada, he was in charge of assisting the young Tokugawa Iemitsu. In general, for the Tokugawa family, Maeda Ryota is still very loyal and has no ambitions. However, as he grew older, Tokugawa Iemitsu became more and more dislike Ryota Maeda.

This is something to be expected. No one likes to be held back by others. The same goes for Tokugawa Iemitsu. Under the arrangement of Tokugawa Iemitsu, Maeda Ryota's power has shrunk compared to before. The four old middle schools below him are not dealing with Ryota Maeda. If the Tokugawa family was ruthless, he could be completely hollowed out.

[Author's note: Elder and Elder are both official titles of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Generally speaking, the elder can be equivalent to the prime minister of the shogunate, and the elder is the six books of the shogunate. The specific meaning, Baidu yourself, otherwise you will be scolded Baidu Emperor ......]

Under such circumstances, Ryota Maeda felt that his life was very hard. Retire, he's not very willing. If you don't retire, Japan is not having a good time. The constant compression of power is always uncomfortable, especially for people who are used to enjoying power. The love for power, whether it is the Ming people or the Japanese, is the same.

This time, he took the initiative to ask to lead the troops into battle, and Maeda Ryota just wanted to show his military command ability, so that Tokugawa Iemitsu should not be too arrogant to himself, and everyone should get together and disperse. Tokugawa Iemitsu is not a stupid person either, and only gave Ryota Maeda 30,000 people. The 30,000-strong army accounted for only about 20% of the shogunate's army.

In fact, behind Ryota Maeda, there are 30,000 people from Ryota Sato. This Ryuta Sato, whose position is just xiaoxiao's banner, is in command of an army of 30,000 people. In terms of weaponry and training intensity, it is more outstanding than Ryota Maeda's troops. Even, the average soldier received more military pay than Maeda Ryota's troops. Obviously, this is very abnormal. But, no way, who called Ryuta Sato a confidant of Tokugawa Iemitsu?

Tokugawa Iemitsu arranged for another army to follow behind his ass, and the purpose was nothing more than two. The first is to monitor yourself and warn yourself not to make any changes. The second is that if you are defeated, you will immediately have a new force to join. No matter which one it is, it's very uncomfortable for Ryota Maeda. Especially the latter one.

I haven't started attacking yet, so you're ready for my defeat. Are you so disappointed in my military command ability? Under such psychological influence, Maeda's desire to conquer Sado Island is unprecedentedly strong. If Xiao Xin was defeated, he really didn't have the face to see Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"Hurry up"

"Hurry up"

"Hurry up"

Ryota Maeda kept shouting.

In order not to let Tokugawa Iemitsu look down on him, Maeda Ryota is determined to take down Sado Island in the shortest possible time. He thought about it, and after conquering Sado Island, he immediately put forward a request to Zhishi to see how Tokugawa Iemitsu reacted. He estimated that Tokugawa Iemitsu's face would be very jīngcai.

Under the constant shouting of Ryota Maeda, the Japanese fleet's attack became faster. Some Japanese soldiers, who didn't even know where to go, turned out a lot of oars and rowed desperately on both sides of the flotilla. The sound of the water was rattling, and soon, the distance between the Japanese fleet and Li Yang was shortened to about 5oo meters.

"Grapeball"

"Prepare"

"Put"

Li Yang roared sharply.

He carefully judged the distance, and as long as the Japanese entered the range of grape shells, he would be merciless in shè grape shells. Now, it's a great opportunity for shè grape bombs.

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The constant sound of cannons, the constant roar.

One of the grape bullets was thrown out, and then scattered in the sky, turning into large marbles, and then smashed down fiercely. A large number of marbles landed on the top of the Japanese warship, causing a series of screams in an instant. The raindrop-like marbles directly covered the surface of the deck, and as long as they were hit, they were basically the result of either death or injury.

This indiscriminate attack is absolutely fatal to enemies with weak armor protection. However, most of the Japanese soldiers had no armor. Even if there were, it wouldn't be able to stop the marbles' attacks. Under such a rain of bullets, it was as if a lamb had fallen into a pack of wolves, and it was only to be slaughtered.

Sometimes, a rain of bullets falls, and a Japanese soldier can fall. Especially in the vicinity of those warships that entered the water. In order to scoop water, there are usually twenty or thirty sailors or soldiers, working with their heads bowed for their lives, and they have no time to pay attention to the movement overhead. As a result, a rain of bullets fell, and they all lay in the blood-red seawater.

A large number of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground screaming, and the scene was a mess, which immediately caused the Japanese army's morale to fluctuate greatly. The remnants of the people hurriedly looked for a place to hide and avoid the attack of grapeballs. After a while, there was no longer a Japanese man in the body of a violent man on the warship.

"Eight Grids"

Ryota Maeda shouted angrily.

The behavior of his subordinates made Maeda Ryota feel very humiliated. When did the troops under his command actually fear the enemy's artillery fire? It's just a bunch of cowardly guys, where are the great Japanese bushido jīng gods?

"Ready to go ashore"

Ryota Maeda did not hesitate to give the order.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese warship was still more than 100 meters away from the pier trestle. The Japanese army did not need to be so far away at all to begin to line up. In doing so, it is of no use except for being killed and injured by the grape bullets of the Tiger Ben Army in vain. However, Ryota Maeda can't wait. He hated spending any time on a warship, and he wanted to set foot on Sado Island as soon as possible.

At the same time, he was going to let the Japanese troops who were hiding out with such an order. This act of hiding made him feel humiliated too much. He would rather let his subordinates all die on the battlefield than hide and retreat everywhere, which makes people laugh.

Ryuta Sato is still watching from behind, and if he sees his subordinates shrinking their heads like this, they may die of laughter. If it is transmitted to Tokugawa Iemitsu, he Maeda Ryota's face will not know where to put it.

"Charge"

"Onboard"

Ryota Maeda pulled out the command knife and shouted viciously.

The discipline of the Japanese army is also very strict. Ryota Maeda pulled out the command knife, and the people below had no way to retreat. In desperation, those Japanese soldiers had no choice but to walk out of their hideouts and line up on the deck, ready to land. Their armament is basically smoothbore guns. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to line up in order to achieve a better shè strike effect.

The result of the queue can be imagined. The marbles that kept falling did not hesitate to cover their ranks. Large swaths of Japanese soldiers fell as if they were harvesting wheat, and muskets were scattered all over the ground. A large amount of blood, like a stream, was constantly pouring into the sea. Some of the warships were even dyed red.

""

"Is xiao Japan going to commit suicide?"

Zhang Yin said in disbelief.

The Marines fought so many battles and traveled so many places, and it was the first time they had encountered such an enemy. Knowing that the overwhelming marbles were falling, he didn't know how to hide. It's amazing how neatly they are lined up and bombarded by grapeshits from the Tiger Army. This is simply a Tartar and even more ignorant

"It is estimated that the commander of the Japanese army is an idiot"

Gao Yu nodded and said approvingly.

Gao Yu also couldn't understand the Japanese army's approach. All the members of the Tiger Army Marines, including high-ranking officers and soldiers, could not understand. This is simply not a war, this is completely a collective suicide, the world is so big, it is really not strange.

If Zhang Zhun were here, he would probably be able to explain. This is probably the so-called bushido jīng god. The Japanese fight, and in many cases, it is indeed a tendon. Later generations have studied and said that the junior officers of the Japanese army may still be a little flexible and know how to be flexible. However, at the top level, above the level of division commander, it became very ossified.

In fact, such a charge without fear of death is really common in Eastern countries. When the Han people fight, if you don't have more than 100,000 troops, you are embarrassed to greet others. At the time of the Three Kingdoms 1uan era, the population of the whole country was only a few million, and the total number of all the forces and the number of armies was about one million. It is conceivable that after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the population increased dramatically, and the number of troops increased.

It is also possible that the Japanese army did not know the power of grapeshot shells. During the Warring States period of Japan, there were not many battles in which artillery was used extensively. Even if there is a big gun, that is, a cannon appears, that is, a Franc machine gun with a caliber of 6o mm. Compared with 12o mm caliber field guns, it can't be compared at all

The dense grape bombs almost ravaged the Japanese troops who tried to go ashore. The entire deck was littered with dense, layered corpses. Many officers were also killed, and some of the officers above the flag book were killed. However, Ryota Maeda doesn't care. All he had to do was take Sado Island. His target is only Sado Island.

"Bang"

The Japanese warship finally crashed into the pier in the harbor.

This kind of connected wooden ship complex, control xìng can naturally not be very good. When approaching, it is almost crooked, and the action of landing is quite strong. As a result, two trestles were knocked off in half. Similarly, several Japanese warships were shattered. The vigorous impact also broke the masts of several wooden ships.

But, in any case, the Japanese army did succeed in landing on the shore. The Japanese sailors immediately used ropes to tie the wooden boats and the trestle together. In this way, the wooden boat and the trestle bridge are closely connected and can no longer be separated. Ten trestle bridges are ten broad roads through the land. Huge groups of Japanese soldiers, like madmen, shouted and rushed to the shore.

I have to say that the impact movements of these Japanese are still very fast. Almost as soon as the wooden boat collided with the trestle, dozens of the most powerful Japanese samurai, wielding special katanas, rushed towards the shore. These Japanese samurai, with strips of red cloth wrapped around their foreheads, were obviously ready to come and go.

"Fire"

Zhu Chengtai ordered without hesitation.

He was responsible for blocking frontal attacks, right in front of the ten trestles. Now the Japanese are less than a hundred and twenty meters away from him. The length of the trestle is about fifty meters. Such a distance is the most suitable for the Qi shè of the tiger Ben.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Gunshots rang out like popping beans.

The dense mini-bullets, like a pouring rain, passed towards those crazy Japanese samurai shè. As a result, pieces of blood continued to burst out. The Japanese samurai who tried to rush up to the dock were immediately knocked down by a series of blows, and none of them were able to rush over. They either fell on the pier or poured into the sea water next to the pier.

A series of gunshots rang out, and on the trestle, there were more than a dozen katana swords that had lost their owners, as well as more than a dozen bloody corpses. And, of course, blood everywhere. Next to the pier, the corpses of Japanese samurai rise and fall with the sea 1ang. The sea water is all red, 1anghua is also red, and the trestle slowly becomes red.

The Japanese troops in the back continued to rush up along the trestle. To rush to land, the premise is to rush over the long trestle. The trestle is the key target of the Huben Army Marine Corps. Zhu Chengtai's troops are very concerned about these ten trestle bridges, and they have been trained I don't know how many times.

The narrow trestle greatly limited the Japanese army's crowd tactics. At the beginning, it was suggested that when the battle came, the bridge plate of the trestle should be temporarily removed. The bridge slabs were removed, and these trestles could not be used by the Japanese army. As a result, this proposal was strenuously rejected by Zhu Chengtai. In his opinion, it is better to keep the bridge.

Zhu Chengtai has carefully measured that under normal circumstances, only four people can drive side by side on each trestle at most. In other words, at the same time, there are only four people at most who can rush up. On the side of the Tiger Army, there are thirty Tiger Ben guns, responsible for a trestle bridge. Everyone took turns to shè and just completely blocked the trestle.

If the bridge was removed, Japan would not be able to land, so it would have to land from other directions. In this way, it will cause the passivity of the Tiger Army. Keeping ten trestle bridges to attract the Japanese army, and then using dense firepower to kill and wound, you can replicate the victory in the Battle of Dongjiabao and make the Japanese pay an extremely heavy price.

Zhu Chengtai estimated that as long as the trestle was still there, the Japanese army would frantically fight for the trestle. By the time they fully understood that the trestle was invincible, they had already paid a heavy price. If the configuration is perfect, it will not be a problem to use ten trestle bridges and consume tens of thousands of Japanese troops.

"Puff"

"Puff"

"Puff"

Sure enough, under the guns and bullets of the Tiger Army, rows of Japanese soldiers, like gourds, poured into the sea water on both sides in a row. The sea water on both sides of the trestle has already been dyed red, and at this time, it seems that the red sè dye vat has been opened, and the red is terrible. The sea 1ang is constantly tumbling, and the red sè1anghua makes people feel extremely fishy.
