Chapter 214: Landing in Edo
At the same time, Zhang Feng began to deploy tactics, the first thing was naturally landing, and then it was to capture Edo City, how to attack the city, Zhang Feng began to make a series of arrangements. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Edo, that is, Tokyo in later generations, is still the same as usual, and no one would have thought that a huge fleet was coming, and even Tokugawa Iemitsu did not think about it, and Tokugawa Iemitsu at this time was concerned with the Battle of Hirado.
The current battle of Hirado has entered a white-hot state.
This morning, Nakamura Masakichi prepared to personally command, commanding nearly 10,000 people to prepare for the charge, this attack was completely different from usual, obviously after repeated defeats, Nakamura Masakichi and Matsuura Kushin finally thought of countermeasures, and thought of ways to deal with muskets.
Nakamura Masayoshi actually prepared thousands of cattle and hundreds of horses, tied strips of cotton cloth soaked in fire oil to the tails of these cows and horses, and prepared to ignite the strips of cotton cloth, so that these cows and horses rushed forward frantically, while his nearly 10,000 people followed.
On the hillside, Nakamura Masayoshi couldn't help but be happy when he saw that he was basically ready, "Yo Xi, this time they are dead." ”
Matsuura Kushin also said: "Nakamura-kun, this is a clever plan, so many cows and horses are rushing forward like crazy, no matter how many muskets they have, it is useless. ”
These cows and horses must have gone crazy when they were stimulated by this, and they might not be killed by one or two shots, as long as they were not killed, even if they were injured, they would still rush forward like crazy, and they would really rush into the crowd of the Korean army, and then they would trample madly.
Nakamura Masayoshi followed behind with nearly 10,000 people, rushed over with these cattle and horses, and then prepared to start a white-edged battle, as long as the white-knuckle battle began, Nakamura Masayoshi was sure of victory.
"Will... General, there is ... There is a case. ”
A Japanese samurai hurriedly ran all the way over to report, out of breath, obviously there was something important.
Nakamura Masayoshi was full of will, fantasizing about rushing over to win in one fell swoop, but he was interrupted at this time, and immediately asked unhappily: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!" ”
The Japanese samurai immediately said, "Will... General, there is a situation, those Koreans on the pier are retreating in an orderly manner, are boarding the ship, and it seems that they are preparing to leave. ”
"Ready to go?"
Nakamura Masakachi was stunned for a while, obviously a little bit unconvinced, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and immediately took a large group of people, riding horses, and ran quickly towards the direction of the dock.
However, the retreat was very orderly, and at this time, Nakamura Masayoshi had no chance if he wanted to sneak attack, so he could only watch these North Koreans get on board the ships and board the battleships of the Second Fleet.
The Second Fleet has nearly 30 large warships, each of which has no problem transporting two or three hundred people, and those 3,000 warships have a stronger transport capacity, even if it is estimated that four or five hundred people can be squeezed.
Really gone.
Suddenly, Nakamura Masayoshi was so angry that he thought about his hard work, and he thought about it all night before he came up with "such a wonderful plan", and it took so much time and effort to get so many cows and horses, everything was basically ready, and he didn't think about it, all of this was in vain.
Everyone is gone, and the opponent is gone, just like a punch ready to hit out, but you find that there is no target and nowhere to hit.
Thinking about the tens of thousands of casualties in the past few days, Nakamura Masayoshi was even more angry, his face was so angry that he could only ride on horseback, and Kiri screamed nonsense.
………
Edo Port Terminal.
Many Japanese were stunned, and many people saw that a large number of ships appeared on the sea in the distance, all of which were very large ships, each of which was very large, dozens of meters long, with thick chimneys and thick cannon muzzles.
Zhang Feng's fleet came, standing on the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, looking at the dock not far away, looking at the large number of Japanese in chaos on the dock, Zhang Feng did not have a little pity, on the contrary, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth.
Zhang Feng's mind came up with scenes of the Japanese invasion of China in later generations, the 918 and 77 Incidents, the August 13 Shanghai War of Resistance, the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese Three-Light Policy, the tragic massacre, and so on.
Kill, kill, kill!
Must be killed!
The coldness at the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth was even stronger, and he slowly pulled out his command knife, shook his finger in the direction of Edo City, and said loudly: "Pass my order and open fire!" ”
"Fire!"
"Cannon !!"
Many naval officers drew their command knives one after another, pointed in the direction of the dock, and shouted loudly, the sailors were already ready, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the direction of the dock, aimed, and then fired!
One by one, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division prepared for the landing, and as soon as the gunfire stopped, the transport ships would dock one by one, and the soldiers would board the dock with muskets.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of artillery shook the sky, and the dense cannon body sounded, and soon, the fire on the pier soared into the sky, the explosion sounded intensively, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the screams continued, and the figures flew sideways......
………
Tokugawa shogunate.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, as usual, and a group of military commanders and retainers, were singing and dancing, and some of the prostitutes were dancing, and no one would have thought that at this time, Zhang Feng's artillery fire had swept away the entire Edo wharf, and from the transport ship, a group of soldiers came down.
A Japanese samurai, even rolling and climbing, hurriedly broke in, as soon as he came in, he shouted, the singing and dancing in the hall also stopped abruptly, and a military general who was drinking was on the rise, impatiently shouted: "Yaga, what's the matter?" ”
The person who came looked miserable, knelt directly on the ground, and almost said in a crying voice: "General, it's not good, the Ming Dynasty sailors have called and have landed at the Edo wharf." ”
"Nani, Ming Dynasty sailor?"
Many generals looked at each other with a look of astonishment, and no one would have thought that the Ming Dynasty sailors could appear in Edo and land at the docks.
Tokugawa Iemitsu also stood up and said loudly: "This is impossible, how could they appear at Edo Pier." ”
The Japanese samurai wept and said, "General, this is true, they have come with a lot of big ships, estimated to be 20,000 or 30,000 people, and as soon as they come, they will come under heavy artillery fire on the pier, and then they will land at the pier, and now it is estimated that they are coming towards Edo Castle." ”
What the!
Many people stood up, shocked, and realized the seriousness of the matter, and twenty or thirty thousand people came, how good is this?
In Hirado, less than 10,000 North Koreans equipped with firearms were so tricky, and this time, 20,000 or 30,000 people came, and there was no need to ask, these people must have all been equipped with firearms, and it was estimated that they were even more powerful than the North Koreans.
Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly said loudly: "Quick, hurry up and mobilize the samurai to block the attack, hurry up." ”
Suddenly, the whole time was in a hurry, these Japanese were obviously unprepared, who would have thought that Zhang Feng's fleet appeared directly in Edo, and hit the Japanese seven inches at once.
Edo, as the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, was not wrong to hoard heavy troops, but there was no preparation, and it took time to mobilize heavy troops and make a series of preparations, and now, the 1st Infantry Division has landed and is heading for Edo Castle.
………
Edo Wharf.
As a large number of soldiers disembarked and stepped on the dock, Zhang Feng also took this large group of officers to get off the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, Zhang Feng also stepped on the dock, Zhang Feng's eyes looked in the direction of Edo Castle.
Zhang Feng said loudly: "Chief of General Staff Wang, today we must break through Edo Castle, and we will camp in Edo Castle. ”
After so many days of sailing, staying at sea all the time, you really need to rest and eat a little good, and there is no doubt that Edojo is the best choice.
"Commander-in-Chief, we must break through Edo Castle before it gets dark." Wang Chaoyong replied loudly.
In everyone's ears, the sound of gunfire came one after another, and Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to Edo Castle and see how the soldiers attack the city." ”
Zhang Feng took the lead, a large group of officers, and a large group of guards followed, and everyone also walked towards Edo Castle, and the further they went, the more dense the gunfire became, and it seemed that a big battle was going on in front of them.
Zhang Feng saw a high ground not far away, and immediately walked over, this is a small hill, no more than a few tens of meters high, the trees on the mountain are scarce, climbing a small hill, the field of vision is broad, the situation in front of him can be seen clearly, and even can vaguely see Edo Castle far away.
"Commander-in-chief, you see, the Japanese army is starting to block us."
It can be seen that it was Tokugawa Iemitsu who had mobilized his army, a large group of Japanese with cold weapons, and these Japanese were obviously in a hurry to respond to the battle.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Dense gunfire came, and the Japanese who were blocking the attack fell one by one in front of the soldiers, and in front of so many rear-loading guns, it was a complete one-sided slaughter.
"Commander-in-Chief, I estimate that in an hour, we will be able to complete the siege of the entire Edo Castle." Wang Chaoyong said happily.
Zhang Feng looked at Edo Castle in the distance, and saw the high city wall that faintly appeared, Zhang Feng nodded slowly: "Yes, we must break the city, go, we will go to Edo Castle with the soldiers." ”
On the one hand, the Japanese were completely unprepared, and on the other hand, the soldiers were all equipped with rear-loading muskets, and all of them were copper-shelled bullets, which were easy to load and had a fast rate of fire.
Along the way, after killing thousands of people, the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division were the first to arrive outside Edo Castle, and the soldiers of the rest of the regiments and battalions were arriving one after another.
Zhang Feng also came, and when he arrived outside the city, he stopped on a small hillside less than two or three miles outside the city, took a telescope, and looked at Edo Castle in the distance, through which he could see the high walls of Edo Castle and the closed gates.
On the city wall, a large number of Japanese have appeared, obviously preparing to defend the city, and the murderous intent at the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth is getting stronger......
