Chapter 146: Special Operations in the Seventeenth Century (6)
On a small hill directly opposite the east gate of Nagasaki Castle, in a half-man-deep earthen pit, the clear gray six-pounder Franc cannon crouched quietly, and a trace of white smoke slowly drifted out of the muzzle.
A thin man in black touched the cannon body, shrunk back like lightning, tore off the strip of cloth wrapped around his face and blew it up desperately, it was Ling Ming.
Ling Ming was the commander of the feint detachment, and the task of the feint detachment was to bombard the city gate first, and then tie the blood cross flag to the goat, blow the horn, and create the illusion that the city was going to be attacked.
"Grandma, you can't fire any more guns, or you have to blow up the chamber." Ling Ming muttered.
"Brother Ming, the city has let people down again!" In the open space not far from the Franco's cannon, the guys who had completed the task of blowing the horn and tying the flag sat on the ground for a long time, and at this moment, someone saw movement on the head of the city and shouted Ling Ming.
Ling Ming took a look, only to see that the two hanging baskets on the head of the city were slowly being lowered, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed, seeing that he was going to ask for help again, this gentleman was really the same as the judgment of the son, and he didn't even have the courage to send someone out to investigate-a few days ago, Ling Ming basically figured out the details of the officials involved in this operation, this city gate guard is the youngest son of a 500,000 stone daimyo, only twenty-six years old, and the standard yamen.
"Here we go! Come on! β
On the mountainside, a man in black with the same color ran up quickly and reported to Ling Ming, "All the soldiers from Sanjingtai have come out, there are a lot of soldiers!" β
Ling Ming raised his eyebrows and quickly ran to the place where he could see the road down the mountain, and sure enough, a Japanese army was rushing towards the east gate, exactly the same as the one he had seen in Korea.
Taking out the pocket watch that Gongzi had purchased specifically for this operation, he looked at it, and the arrival of the Yamashita army was more than ten minutes earlier than expected, which filled Ling Ming's heart with ecstasy and amazement.
Ecstasy was due to the fact that the task of the feint detachment was successfully completed, and he could evacuate with the feint detachment unscathed; And the amazement is that Ling Ming's accurate analysis of Gongzi is simply admired.
If Childe's analysis of the city gate guards not daring to send people to fight may be that the blind cat met a dead mouse, then the Sakai deputy guard of Sankeidai is simply acting according to Childe's analysis: the artillery attack will definitely not lead him out of the hole, as a veteran who has participated in the Osaka Summer Battle, if a few cannons can make him take the bait, then he is also incompetent; The horn and the Blood Cross Banner would certainly have lured him out, for this deputy had just made a great contribution to the extermination of the Che Zhi Dan, and if the Che Zhi Dan disciples were allowed to break through the East Gate, his merit would not only be greatly inferior, but might even be worth it, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
That's why Childe repeatedly explained to Ling Ming when to fire the cannon, when to blow the horn, and when to set up the blood cross flag, just to achieve the goal of firing the cannon to assemble the Sanjingtai camp, and blowing the horn and standing the flag so that Sakai could see clearly after dawn!
Facts have proved that Childe's judgment is too accurate, so accurately that Ling Ming can only smile bitterly, how can such a young young talent understand military affairs, how can he be so accurate in people's hearts?
Wicked!
The sigh in Ling Ming's heart was only a matter of a moment, seeing that the target had already poured out, he turned his head and nodded the number of people, and found that everyone was already here, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand at everyone, "Okay, the fish has been hooked, let's withdraw!" β
More than ten minutes later, on the road at the foot of the mountain where Ling Ming was standing, there was a hoarse roar.
"Yaga!"
If Ling Ming had stayed here, he would have seen that the deputy Sakai Guard, who was dressed in great armor and riding a majestic horse, had a wonderful expression on his face.
In front of his horse, an ashigaru was struggling to grasp the two horns of the goat, and at the side of the goat, a blood cross flag as high as more than a foot was firmly tied with ropes and strips of cloth!
Fooled!
Sakai shouted in his heart.
Before he could think about why his opponent was teasing him like this, he heard an earth-shattering explosion from the direction of Sanjingtai!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The huge air wave blew the bushes in front of Zhao Hai to the ground; In the pungent smoke of gunpowder, mud, wood chips, and gravel rained down.
Through the thick smoke of gunpowder, Zhao Hai could vaguely see that the tall walled wall had been blown open with a big hole, in fact, he didn't need to look at it, with Zhao Hai's decades of military experience, he could judge that such an earth-shattering explosion, the walled wall made of wood would definitely be torn to pieces like a piece of paper.
"Kill, give!"
A strange whisper exploded in Zhao Hai's ears, and Zhao Hai jumped up reflexively, and like the rest of the escort team, he followed Gongzi and rushed towards the gap in the wallβin this operation, his task was to observe first, on the hill east of the camp of Sanjingtai, and when the army was out of sight, he had to rush to the south side to join the rescue detachment.
In order to confuse the Japanese people, Chu Fan asked all the people in the rescue team to blacken their faces, the purpose was to disguise themselves as subordinates of the Shimazu family of the Satsuma clan - according to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the Shimazu family had a special iron artillery team, all composed of Kunlun slaves. (Crab note: Kunlun slave is a black slave sold to all parts of the world by Western colonizers, and is known as Kunlun slave in the Han cultural circle)
This is exactly where Chu Fan's heart is as careful as a hair, as a Ming person, they are too tall to pretend to be a Japanese person, so Gongzi will think of this seamless method.
"The devil is in the details." This is a sentence that Gongzi often puts on his lips, Zhao Hai didn't understand it very well before, but after the preparation of this operation, he completely understood.
Take the preparation of the feint attack team as an example, in order to tie the blood cross flag firmly to the goat, and at the same time not hinder the goat's walking-the moving blood cross flag can better create the tense atmosphere of the siege - the child was stunned and tried seven or eight times, what brown rope, cloth strips, and finally found the best binding plan.
This is the most admirable place for Lao Ye - he has been active behind enemy lines all year round, of course, he knows very well how many cumbersome and detailed rules he has to follow to be a good night and not collect, it turns out that he hasn't figured out why there are these rules, and now he sees Childe's actions, he finally understands, isn't it the "details" in Childe's mouth?
What makes Zhao Hai admire is the fact that Gongzi takes the lead - after everything is prepared, Chen Shangren and Liu Zhongwen take the lead, and everyone is persuading Gongzi, just let us rough people do such a dangerous thing, what is the "son of a daughter" now, and the emphasis is on "sitting down", if there is anything good or bad, who do you count on?
But Gongzi's attitude was very resolute, and even everyone persuaded him to lead a relatively safe feint detachment, and he must personally lead everyone to attack the Sanjingtai camp!
"People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years! Damn people will choke to death if they sit at home and drink water, and if they don't damn they fall off the cliff, there will be branches to follow...... That's fate! β
Childe's words made everyone speechless, and at the same time, it also made Zhao Hai's heart extremely refreshing, being able to follow such a boss, Zhao Hai felt that he must have accumulated great virtue in his previous life.
Thinking about these things, Zhao Hai didn't stop at his feet, a hundred steps had passed in an instant, and following everyone, he passed through the dense gunsmoke, and when he saw the situation inside the wall, he was stunned.
