Chapter 673: Battle of Tsushima III
"Wait a minute, you'll chase far away. I shall not summon it, nor shall I return. Liu Laodao said directly.
"Uncle, if you miss the big thing of Your Highness, it won't be easy to do? Your Highness wants to capture Tsushima Island in ten days? Liu Bochen was taken aback.
Liu Laodao said: "How dare I disobey His Highness's order, but it is just a small island, and our army will be able to capture it when it lands on the island." Knowing His Highness means to teach North Korea a lesson, so that they know what the sky is high and the earth is thick. Of course, you're not too far away, and you'll be back tomorrow this time. ”
Seeing that Liu Laodao had his own plans, Liu Bochen didn't say anything more, and said, "Yes." "It takes a long time for the sea and mountains to chase, and to be honest, the time that Liu Laodao gave Liu Bochen is not too long.
Immediately, Liu Bochen changed ships and left.
Liu Laodao took his boat and made a big turn and rushed towards Tsushima Island.
Tsushima is not an island, but an archipelago. It is made up of two large islands and several smaller islands.
And neither Liu Laodao nor the Korean army thought about staying in Tsushima Island for a long time, so as soon as they made a move, the most important place in Tsushima Island was a plain on the northern island. This is the key point of the whole island of Tsushima.
In a few moments, the flotilla was in place.
Prior to this, North Korean troops rarely arrived here.
Liu Laodao looked at this terrain and said secretly in his heart: "This is a good place." ”
The north and south islands are not far apart, so you can look at each other, and here is a small depression, just to keep the waves out, and it is a good port.
But it's not easy to attack.
Most of the trestle bridges that went deep into the sea were burned down. Only a few black wooden stakes remained. Without the trestle, if you want to go ashore directly, you need a small boat for transfer.
This is very inefficient.
And there are already preparations on Tsushima. This battle is not very easy to fight even if the Dongyong army is fought, but the Yongjun army's firepower is enough to suppress it, and it still has its duty.
But the North Korean army, Liu Laodao watched the movements of the North Korean army with a clairvoyant mirror. I sneered in my heart.
Yin Yuanheng didn't care about this. He didn't wait for the North Korean ships to hear about it, and gave the order to ------ attack.
The North Korean boats approached the shore one by one, lowering small boats, each with seven or eight people on it, and they rowed desperately to the shore.
Zong Shengzhi didn't make much movement.
Zong Shengzhi didn't think about fighting elsewhere, without him, the entire Tsushima Island was too close in depth, and the key places were only a few places. The castle tower of the clan is not far behind, where can you retreat?
But how to fight, it takes skill.
Zong Shengzhi knew the strength of his command, except for the family soldiers of the Zong clan and the family soldiers of the vassal family masters below, they were all temporarily recruited, and their combat effectiveness was not good at all.
So he didn't rush forward. Instead, they placed everyone not far from the dock and abandoned the dock.
The first Korean soldier landed.
In total, the DPRK has more than two dozen ships. Two or three of each ship disembarked, so more than six hundred people landed in the first wave.
It is said that the number of North Korean soldiers is also quite large, but these North Korean soldiers are not the same army at all, and they are not an army at all.
Even if the Yongjun army is placed in such a chaotic situation, it will take a while to rectify.
When the boat went back, around the dock, there were only a few hundred people left.
Zong Shengzhi slowly swung the long knife down.
In an instant, countless popping sounds like fried beans burst out in an instant.
It's a musket. A large number of muskets. There are at least hundreds.
Before the hundreds of North Korean soldiers knew what was going on, a small half of them had already been knocked down.
"Kill." Zong Shengzhi shouted.
He rushed out with Zong's soldiers.
These people are all wearing armor, but the material is different, Zong Shengzhi is wearing iron armor, and he also wears a ghost mask, and has a big horn on his head. The rest of the soldiers had iron, leather armor, and even wooden armor, bamboo armor, and in any case, everyone had armor.
Zong Shengzhi was not lying in ambush very far, but he was well prepared so that the people on the ship could not see it.
In a flash, within a few breaths, he rushed into the North Korean soldiers.
Especially Zong Shengzhi, he raised the long knife high above his head, his chest and abdomen were exposed, he didn't care about it at all, and shouted: "Kill." ”
A single knife slashed a North Korean soldier in half from shoulder to waist.
Blood spurted out, instantly squirting Zong Shengzhi's entire body into blood red. It's like a bloodthirsty demon.
Seeing that Zong Shengzhi was so brave. The rest of the Zong's family soldiers were all brave and brave. In just a few moments, the North Koreans were completely killed.
Yin Yuanheng looked at Liu Laodao's boat clearly, he trembled with anger, and said, "Open the cannon, open the cannon." ”
There are no decent guns on the North Korean ships, and the guns on the North Korean ships are okay to shoot scattered shells, but they are not enough to bombard the shore.
You have to let Liu Lao Daoza's ship open fire.
But where would Yongjun accept Yin Yuanheng's order, as if they hadn't heard it. Yin Yuanheng took a deep breath. He didn't actually care about the death of hundreds of soldiers, he cared about this face.
He came to Liu Laodao's side and said, "I also ask General Liu to order the artillery to fire and bombard those thieves." ”
Liu Laodao frowned and said: "Let's speak first, my Dongyong Naval Division is in charge of naval warfare, but land warfare is not our business, there is a sentence, I don't know if adults have heard it." ”
"What?" Yin Yuanheng said.
"When the cannon goes off, it is ten thousand taels of gold." Liu Laodao said.
Yin Yuanheng looked at Liu Laodao fiercely, as if he had only seen Liu Laodao's true face clearly now, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels." Only this time in the big war, Dongyong is willing to help my country, and I don't care about ten thousand taels of gold. ”
Liu Laodao said: "Okay." Since Lord Yin has spoken, how can I not give face. ”
"This fat sheep is really rich." Liu Laodao said secretly in his heart.
You must know that this gold 10,000 taels is almost 100,000 taels of silver in Daming, and North Korea is relatively close to Japan, so the ratio of gold and silver may be a little lower, but even if it is 10,000 taels of gold, at least 40,000 taels of silver.
You must know that Liu Laodao has followed Zhu Houhuang for so long, and the previous rewards, I am afraid that it is only this number, but Yin Yuanheng said it.
Liu Laodao even had the idea of going to North Korea to rob him.
"Boom." More than a dozen Francophone guns were fired at the same time.
Zong Shengzhi had already prepared to kill these North Korean soldiers. Just then began to clean up the battlefield, and as soon as the artillery sounded here, the other side began to retreat. Except for a few unlucky ones, there weren't many injuries at all.
Seeing that the enemy had left, Liu Laodao ordered the bombardment to be stopped.
Liu Laodao asked, "Lord Yin, what are you going to do next?" ”
"What to do? Go on. Yin Yuanheng was extremely calm, as if it was not a human who had just died, but hundreds of pigs. Under the strict orders of Yoon Wonheng, the North Korean soldiers were ready to go ashore again, but he also changed, first concentrating all the ships and transporting everyone on one ship at a time. Avoid the front and land from both sides.
However, the shore is condescending, especially since there is a hill behind it, which can clearly see the entire battlefield. The movements of the North Koreans cannot be concealed from those on the shore.
Sure enough, as soon as this side waited for the shore, the people over there were killed.
This time, though, the North Koreans have a bit of a chance.
Hundreds of men formed a small formation, and dozens of musketeers lined up in front of the formation, and when they saw the Japanese rushing over, they were first bombarded with muskets.
The North Korean musketeers are also the only elite troops in North Korea who can show their hands.
However, there was no shortage of musketeers on Tsushima.
It seems that the Zong clan was afraid of the Korean military formation, and the two sides actually began to fire muskets.
Jong's musket outperformed the Korean musket.
Although Liu Laodao couldn't see it clearly, he was very clear about the controversy about muskets within Dongyong, and he felt that the muskets on Tsushima Island were probably Western, but he would not be able to figure it out for a while.
Although the musket has good lethality, in the blink of an eye, dozens of people died, but behind the North Koreans is the sea, and they have countless escapes, as long as they stand up.
After a while, the second group of Koreans landed, and the number of Koreans who landed on the shore seemed to be more than 1,000.
