Chapter 701: I'm a Big Wife, You Have to Listen to Me (Three Watches!) )
In the midst of despair, people can often burst into great potential.
This potential is staggering, according to modern research.
Many times, this burst of amazing potential can turn a lot of things around.
Let's say, a battle.
It's a pity that a battle is too thin to turn around from adversity just by relying on these.
Therefore, Mori Ryuzo and his fleet are doomed to taste the taste of defeat.
And the price is their lives.
Emma and Sara certainly saw the Maori dragon's decisive charge for them.
However, the two are not very worried that they will be overturned by each other.
With the strength of the ships and guns of the Imperial fleet, no matter how much the enemy tosses, it is impossible for the enemy to struggle out of such a one-sided adversity.
Unless, their Anamesula, the girl, can really descend on this sea area and exert her so-called supernatural powers.
After all, this is a very unrealistic thing.
The remnants of the Japanese army received a signal from the Maori Ryuzo.
They began to speed up their ships and rush towards the Imperial fleet.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get close to the Imperial fleet.
Emma and Sara commanded the fleet, maintaining a steady speed and disarming themselves from the Japanese navy, a distance that the Japanese navy could not overcome.
It is not impossible to cross the obstacles created by this distance, at least the Japanese naval army must also install an engine on this side.
However, with the level of technology of the 16th century Wa Kingdom in this time and space, it is obvious that they are a little embarrassed to make an engine.
Therefore, the decisive charge launched by the Japanese naval army took the initiative to make them feel deeply hopeless and useless.
Of course, in the eyes of these Japanese people who were desperate and launched a charge, the tactics of those enemies on the opposite side were a little more despicable and shameless.
Because. They don't fight you at all, they use their speed advantage to bully you.
Then again, though.
Since you have such an advantage, why don't you show off it, and you have to fight the Japanese according to their ideas.
This kind of thing can only be done by the brainless.
This kind of thinking is only available to the weak.
If the Japanese navy had this advantage, would they still give up?
Joke!
The artillery battle continued, time flew by, and half a day flew by again.
In the blink of an eye. Half of the scorching sun in the sky had already sunk above the horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sea, blooming with a little golden light, setting off the sea surface very beautifully, making people involuntarily indulge in this beautiful scenery.
By this time, the artillery battle had ended, and a day had passed.
The navy led by Maori Ryuzo was thus declared annihilated.
At this time, there was not a single Japanese warship on the sea off Osaka and on the line of Wakayama.
It was either sunk to the bottom of the sea, or it floated on the surface of the sea and burned with raging fires.
Some soldiers of the Japanese Navy who were lucky enough to fall into the sea. Some survived with the help of a wooden plank of a warship, or something that could float on the sea.
You can take people like them. Very lucky.
Unfortunately, these people are also very unfortunate.
Because, the Imperial fleet has no intention of saving them at all, and this is the most tragic thing about them.
The temperature of the sea is cold. If the human body is immersed in the sea for a long time, it will cause the body temperature to drop rapidly and go into shock.
And it's already dusk, and the water is even cooler at night.
These people can say. Definitely not going to live this night.
Even if they were lucky again and survived the night.
But what about the next day?
This sea area is more than 200 nautical miles away from the nearest coast of Wakayama.
They can't swim back.
And there was no sea rescue in this era.
So, waiting for the final result of these seemingly lucky guys, it is still death.
So, they are lucky and unlucky.
"According to the plan, let's get out of here."
There was not the slightest expression of pity on Emma's face, and those widows were like the most hated skunks in the forests of the American Highway to her.
If they meet the cuteness of a marmot, maybe Emma can be kind enough to help them.
Unfortunately, they were enemies, so Emma was assigned to lead the skunk-like things she hated.
With such a state of mind, how could Emma go to their rescue.
It's already good to leave them to fend for themselves.
If it weren't for Emma's more important tasks to complete, she would never mind letting the soldiers use their muskets to target the things that the Japanese sailors were playing with floating on the sea.
However, even so, there are still some people of Chinese origin who have adopted such a method to kill the Japanese soldiers who float on the sea with wooden planks when the warship passes by them.
For such a thing, Emma didn't want to bother at all.
In her opinion, the winner has the right to do anything to the loser.
That's what the victorious tribes of the American continent did.
However, Sara couldn't bear it anymore.
"It's not good for them to do this, we are all civilized people, right?"
"Civilized people? What is a civilized person? ”
I don't know about the 'civilized' little girl Emma that Sara said.
She just felt that Sarah's little wife's compassion was starting to flood again.
Seeing Emma's puzzled look, Sara began to have a headache again.
To be honest, there are so many things that Sara doesn't know how to explain to Emma, the little girl.
"They've been defeated, and there's no threat to us anymore. Just let them float quietly on the sea, they can't survive anyway. I guess we can't insult them like that, right? After all, they're also warriors. ”
Since Emma doesn't understand 'civilization', Sara makes this little request to Emma in a different way.
"They are the losers, we are the winners, so we have more right to ravage them. As a winner, why should we consider the feelings of the loser, you look at those soldiers of Chinese descent. They seem to be very happy, and their morale has improved a lot. ”
Emma's way of thinking about things is different from Sarah's.
The little girl, Emma, saw that the soldiers of Chinese descent were very happy.
Well, that's fine.
As long as the fighters are happy, it will be fine.
According to the rules of the Indians, the defeat would not have ended well.
Many times, when two tribes fight each other, even if the loser surrenders, they will be severely punished and tortured.
Generally pointed. It also happens from time to time to cut off limbs and something.
So, Emma didn't think there was anything wrong with shooting the Japanese floating on the sea.
Of course, since Zhao Hongyu established a huge territory in the Americas, and the Indian tribes in his control area were integrated, there has been no inter-tribal fighting.
But until then, the Indians had been living like this.
Emma felt that Sarah, the little wife, was really a little worried and soft-hearted.
Even Emma felt that if Sara was an Indian tribal leader, her soft-heartedness would not make the tribe strong.
Sara didn't know what to do. I was despised by a little girl.
However, even if she knew it, she probably smiled bitterly at this.
The two continents are astonished, but they are not so easy to reconcile.
But. After all, Emma is the eldest wife, and her status is much higher than Sarah.
So, even if Sara doesn't agree with many of Emma's ideas, she can only follow them.
Who made her a little wife?
Well. There's no way around it.
"Sarah, have you thought about it?" Emma looked at Sara with a serious face, serious about her. "If this naval battle loses it is us. It is we who have fallen into the sea, and what do you say those enemies will do to us? ”
Belch!
Sara was stunned by Emma's question.
She really can't answer that.
This is not Europe, and some of the ideas of the Orientals are really difficult to judge.
God knows if they have such a concept of chivalry on their side.
However, she remembered that there was a record in the 'Marco Polo' travelogue she had read when she was a child, and it seemed that Orientals were very particular about etiquette.
Well, the treatment of captives should not be so cruel.
However, in this case, she really didn't dare to pat her chest and make a promise to Emma.
In fact, where did she know that Marco Polo's travels recorded the Song people who were destroyed by the Mongols, not the Wa Kingdom.
Besides, it is impossible for the captive soldiers who have lost the battle not to be mistreated even by the Song people, let alone the cruel Japanese people.
Since ancient times, he has been old, fighting with chivalry, and can also exchange ransom for his own captives, and the strange way to obtain money in this way is estimated to be only Europeans.
And it is precisely because of such a strange concept that the tactic of 'lining up to shoot' appeared in Europe, and it has been popular for more than a hundred years.
"Forget it, let's not be upset about these questions, they are just a group of defeated enemies. It's not worth it for us to worry about them, you have to remember that you are a little wife, you don't have to think too much about some big things, just listen to me. ”
Emma took out the big wife's posture and taught Sara a serious 'lesson'.
The little girl's meaning is very simple, anyway, just let Sara listen to her.
When Sara heard this, she really couldn't laugh or cry.
However, in the face of her 'big wife' Emma, she really can only listen to her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Sara nodded softly.
Seeing Sara 'succumb' made Emma very happy.
After all, as a 'big wife', she still has to have a certain amount of power.
Emma pretended to be a little adult and raised her hand to pat Sara on the shoulder.
"Yes, you are very obedient, I am very satisfied with you, I will give you some slaves as a reward when I return to America, I heard that there are still a lot of slaves in the estates of your relatives, aren't they."
As a 'big wife', you have to be both a grace and a blessing.
Although Emma didn't understand this very well, she thought that the knowledge that Wang Shan gave her was very useful.
From another point of view, it is to scold the other party for being obedient, then give some benefits.
Well, the little girl still knows this.
Sarah's performance today pleased her, so the little girl Emma decided to promise her a little good.
Of course, these benefits will not be realized until you go back.
Looking at Emma, who was serious and trying to pretend to be an adult, Sara had to cooperate with her face in addition to a bitter smile in her heart.
The Imperial fleet continued to set sail, leaving the line off the coast of Osaka and the waters of Wakayama, and began to make its way around the sea lanes on the eastern side of the island of Japan, heading for Edo.
At this time, Edo did not know that the navy built by the Mori dragon had been completely wiped out.
Moreover, the enemy still has the courage to advance towards Edo-
Dividing Line –
"Hurry up, run, rush me! Rush! ”
On that side, Emma and Sara had already ended the naval battle, and on this side, Zhao Hongyu and the crusading army were still fighting.
Because Zhao Hongyu used the means of 'cheating', he avoided the crisis of being attacked from all sides.
All of a sudden, the situation on the battlefield finally calmed down.
The addition of 2,000 Gurkha cavalry suddenly increased the strength of Zhao Hongyu's side.
It's a pity that the strength of the Japanese crusade army is still more than double the number of Zhao Hongyu and them.
Moreover, without the indiscriminate command of Takahashi's idiot, the attack of the crusading army was clear-sighted.
Zhao Hongyu relied on sharp muskets and artillery, although he always suppressed the other party, but because the other party used skirmish tactics, the lethality of Zhao Hongyu's side was greatly reduced.
In the third round of the charge, Ishida Aido saw that the situation was not good, and immediately made a decision to withdraw from the battlefield and at the same time give support to the wind servant.
At that time, the wind squire, his frontal infantry, had already been bombarded by artillery, and the army was unstable. At the same time, the five hundred Praetorian Guard infantry under Zhao Hongyu slowly pressed up, causing him a lot of pressure.
The rows of muskets were like scythes that harvested life.
The ashigaru men were knocked to the ground in rows, and immediately lost the ability to fight.
Fortunately, Ishida made a quick decision and led the army to withdraw from the entanglement with the Gurkha cavalry to help.
Otherwise, the army in front of the Wind Servant would have been defeated by Zhao Hongyu's five hundred Praetorian Guard infantry.
At that time, with only these five hundred Praetorian Guard's infantry, they will be able to start chasing and killing him, the commander, which is a very disadvantageous thing.
Of course, the number of 500 Praetorian Guard soldiers is still too small.
And they have penetrated too far, and there is a danger of being surrounded.
Don't look at the sharpness of their muskets, but if they are surrounded, they are actually quite dangerous.
Of course, with a square array of guns, they can also support it.
However, to be able not to be surrounded, it is better not to be surrounded.
When Ishida's Yuan army arrived, the Gene Infantry retreated.
And the waiter began to blow the trumpet, and gathered the soldiers back.
In the third attack, the crusading army still ended in failure.
Subsequently, the crusading army and Zhao Hongyu's side fell into a state of confrontation.
In this way, the confrontation lasted until the evening...... (To be continued......)
