Chapter 174: Arriving in Busan
Port of Busan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was already afternoon, the sun had set in the west, and on the dock, there were quite a few Japanese samurai, estimated to be more than a thousand, and a Japanese samurai in the lead was looking at the sea in the distance.
Japan is now the Tokugawa Shogunate period, and although the emperor enjoys high prestige and is nominally the supreme ruler of the country, he has no real power, and the real power is in the hands of the shogun.
The shogun was also the largest feudal lord, directly administering a quarter of the country's land and many important cities, and the rest of the country was divided into more than 200 "feudal domains", large and small, and the head of the feudal domain, the daimyo, enjoyed the hereditary rule of the feudal domain, but had to obey the shogun's orders.
Both the shogun and the daimyo kept their own retainers, the samurai, who received fiefs and rokumi from the shogun or daimyo but had to be loyal to the shogun or daimyo, and these samurai were generally professional soldiers with the privilege of swords, and they formed the basis of the shogunate's rule.
The same is true of these Japanese samurai, all of whom are professional soldiers, more than 1,000 people, led by several leading samurai, stationed in the area around the docks.
There was a man next to him: "Nakamura-kun, our fleet should be here too." ”
"Hmm." Kazuo Nakamura nodded and said slowly, "If there are no accidents, our fleet will arrive this afternoon." ”
These Japanese were responsible for guarding the docks, receiving the ships that were about to arrive, receiving the supplies that had been delivered, etc., and the group estimated that the fleet was about to arrive, so they waited at the docks early.
In the distance, a flotilla of more than a dozen sail carriers was indeed sailing over, with their sails full, heading towards the dock, and it didn't take long for many Japanese samurai on the dock to see this fleet.
"Yo Xi, our fleet is here."
Kazuo Nakamura was relieved and said to the people next to him: "Our fleet has brought a large amount of supplies this time, providing a strong guarantee for us to attack Seoul. ”
Tens of thousands of stone of grain, plus tens of thousands of stone of grain that had been transported and were being stored in Busan, were enough to feed more than 30,000 Japanese for three or five months.
Fighting a dog still depends on the owner, no wonder Zhang Feng is angry, North Korea is a place where Zhang Feng is covered, how can they make up their minds!
The fleet sailed over, and when they saw these familiar ships, many Japanese samurai cheered at the dock, and some even began to pick up and guide the ships to dock.
Kazuo Nakamura was the same, watching the ships come and see them docking, but as the ships began to dock, Kazuo Nakamura seemed to feel a little bit wrong, because the boats seemed to be basically empty.
Wearing steel helmets, uniforms, and muskets, the warriors were largely temporarily hidden in the cabins in order not to be exposed, with only a few soldiers dressed as Japanese samurai piloting the sailboat from the bow or deck.
Kazuo Nakamura frowned, according to reason, as the ship docked, the people on the boat should have flocked to the bow of the ship, and they should have a happy face and a cheer on their faces.
After all, after such a day of sailing, I must be happy to finally arrive at the pier after all the hard work, and it is not normal not to cheer, Kazuo Nakamura frowned even deeper.
Suddenly, Kazuo Nakamura was stunned, as if he understood something, and was about to loudly warn the unsuspecting samurai, but at this moment, a large number of warriors wearing steel helmets, military uniforms, and muskets poured out of the cabin.
A large number of soldiers poured out, regardless of three, seven and twenty-one, and began to shoot with muskets, and immediately, a dense burst of gunfire rang out.
The Japanese samurai on the dock were not a little defenseless, and they never thought that their transport ships were full of enemies, and they were still a bunch of tigers and wolves, and suddenly, a large number of people were killed.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The dense gunfire caught these Japanese samurai off guard, and many of them were shot and fell headlong, and after they reacted, many soldiers had already disembarked, jumped on the dock, and pounced while shooting.
"Yaga! Retreat, retreat quickly!! ”
Kazuo Nakamura saw that the muskets of the soldiers were so powerful, and the battle was completely one-sided, he immediately shouted loudly, and was the first to take the lead and turn around and run.
After all, the number of people who heard the shouts was limited, and most of the Japanese samurai did not run, but became ferocious, holding katana swords, and screaming and pounced.
This gang of Japanese samurai is tragic!
The fighters were armed with all rear-loading muskets, which had a very fast rate of fire, two or three times faster than the previous front-loading guns.
The corpses of the Japanese samurai on the ground increased rapidly, and there were seven or eight of them, these Japanese samurai had never seen such a fierce army, and at first these Japanese samurai could still scream and rush up, and it didn't take long for many people to turn their heads and run away as the corpses increased in the place.
This led to such a scene, the soldiers with muskets, chasing these Japanese to shoot, under such a pursuit, it is estimated that only a very small number of Japanese samurai can escape.
Even Kazuo Nakamura couldn't run away, and was knocked down by a shot by the soldiers who caught up, and fell straight to the ground, dying so much that he couldn't die anymore.
In less than an hour, the battle ended, and there was no more gunfire at the pier, and just over an hour later, the fleet led by Zhang Feng arrived at the port of Busan, and a large number of soldiers began to land.
A large number of soldiers disembarked, and the first thing everyone did was to attack Busan City, Zhang Feng did not want to spend the night at the pier, but prepared to enter Busan City tonight and rest overnight in Busan City.
…………
Inside the city of Busan.
There were about 2 to 3,000 Japanese soldiers left behind in the city, and a large amount of military rations and some weapons and armor were also stored in the city.
Watanabe Ichiro, the person in charge who stayed here, got the beauty of staying behind, Watanabe Ichiro was very satisfied, and every day was very moist, drink a little wine, and find a few girls at night, Watanabe Ichiro couldn't wait to stay here.
"Lord Watanabe, it's not good!"
A Japanese samurai, staggering and covered in blood, broke in, seeing this, Watanabe Ichiro felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The Japanese samurai said sadly: "Just now, the dock brought a Ming Dynasty sailor, and almost all of our more than 1,000 samurai at the dock were killed, and only a few dozen escaped back. ”
Hearing this, Watanabe Ichiro was furious, "Yaga, more than a thousand people, how can they be wiped out so quickly, you must be lying." ”
"Lord Watanabe, this is true, now these Ming Dynasty people are coming towards the city, and they are about to enter the city."
So fast? It's time to enter the city!
Watanabe Ichiro became anxious at this time, and while organizing resistance, he sent someone on horseback to inform Tokugawa Tsunadashige, and after all this was done, Watanabe Kazuyo could already hear the gunshots.
The Japanese never thought that Zhang Feng would come so quickly, menacingly, unstoppable, and soon break through the city, how could only two or three thousand Japanese with cold weapons be the opponent of Zhang Feng's gang of tigers and wolves.
The sky was slightly dark, and Zhang Feng entered Busan City accompanied by Zhao Weibin, Wang Chaoyong, Meng Mingzhao and others, and everyone rested in Busan City.
Zhang Fengke did not give an order not to disturb the people, and most of the soldiers entered the city and found a place to rest and recuperate. After sailing at sea for so many days, you have to take a good rest, eat well, drink well, and rest well to have the energy and strength to face the big war ahead, don't you?
The brigade settled in Busan, and the captured grain and other materials were transported back to China, while Zhao Weibin's navy used the port of Busan as a base to control the entire Japan Strait, cutting off the Japanese retreat, and also cutting off the Japanese supplies and reinforcements.
Of course, the intelligence work was not slackened, and while recuperating in Busan, the reconnaissance cavalry was sent out, and the movements of the Japanese were also figured out, and nearly 30,000 Japanese, under the leadership of Tokugawa Tsunagi, were advancing northward.
Upon learning that Zhang Feng's brigade had landed in Busan and rested in Busan, Tokugawa Tsunashige immediately stopped its northward advance and turned south towards Busan.
Ground combat, the protagonist is naturally Wang Chaoyong, no, Wang Chaoyong looked happy, and hurriedly walked into the temporary war hall, in the temporary war hall, some soldiers were going in and out, Zhang Feng was relaxed, and was leisurely drinking tea.
Wang Chaoyong came in and said happily: "Lord Commander, I also reported that Tokugawa Tsunashige personally led nearly 30,000 people south, and came straight to Busan, and it is estimated that he will arrive outside Busan in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." ”
Zhang Feng put down the teacup and said with a smile: "It's good to come, aren't we waiting for them to come." ”
Zhang Feng stayed in Busan Castle in such a high-profile manner, on the one hand, to rest, and on the other hand, to wait for the arrival of Tokugawa Tsunadashige.
Wang Chaoyong happily walked to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Lord Commander, you see, this area is flat and open, which is just suitable for the battle between the two armies, how about we choose the battlefield here?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Feng shook his head gently, "We chose the battlefield here." After speaking, Zhang Feng nodded heavily on the map.
Wang Chaoyong said in surprise: "Lord Commander, according to our reconnaissance, it is a mountainous area, not a plain!" ”
In Wang Chaoyong's habitual thinking, large-scale battles must be open and flat, which was the case in every previous war, but this time Zhang Feng chose the battlefield in the mountains.
Zhang Feng pointed to the map and said: "We will choose the battlefield here, this is the only place for Tokugawa Tsunade to come to Busan, and it is not far from Busan, let's go to the field to investigate." ”
After speaking, Zhang Feng took a group of people, everyone rode horses, and went to the field to investigate in person.
