Chapter 1 The Old Department (3)
The flag, the worn-out battle flag, the battle flag that Ding Yi picked up casually on the battlefield of Tumubao, has two lines of small characters in Huang Ming: Loyal to the country, brave champion of the three armies, with many experiences on the battlefield, as the years go by, it is no longer as eye-catching as it was at the beginning, in all fairness, it is just a worn-out and clean-washed battle flag.
But for the 800 soldiers of the Anxi Metropolitan Mansion on the battleship 001, that was their faith, a banner for which they could die. Ding Ruyu's order was loudly transmitted in the sea breeze by the heralds: "All of them, unload the iron armor!" One battalion and one company prepare horses! The first battalion, the second company, and the third company held the sword and shield, ready to meet the enemy on the port side! Second battalion, start loading! ”
Because there was no artillery, there was still a lot of space on the battleship, so Ding Ruyu's subordinate mounts could also come on board, and the 001 battleship was loaded with nearly 100 horses, so Ding Ruyu ordered a company of soldiers to prepare horses; Fighting at sea, the heavy iron armor is naturally inconvenient, once it falls into the water, it is simply impossible to live, so it is necessary to remove the iron armor.
But in addition to the iron armor, it also means that there is one less chance of survival, but the eight hundred soldiers did not hesitate to untie the armor belt, because Ding Ruyu raised the Daming soul, that's right, it is the worn-out battle flag, in the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the soldiers call it the Daming Soul, how many times outside the pass to fight against the Tartars, the Daming Soul rose, and the soldiers charged regardless of life and death and casualties, they followed this battle flag, lived in the territory of Sanwei, and laid the foundation, and now on the sea when this Daming soul rises, The soldiers of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Anxi, as usual, gave their own qiē.
"The total town. Let go of the brothers. "The captain of the 001 battleship is an old pirate who was raised by Huang Xiao, and he said to Ding Ruyu." If you don't tie it to the army, with your name, we are willing to go with you to eradicate that group of dogs! However, the eldest brother has to listen to the military order now, and if you can live after the battle, with the words that you forcibly ordered, don't let the brothers eat military sticks or be confined. He didn't take the long knife that Ding Ruyu personally put around his neck seriously.
Ding Ruyu listened and nodded. Signaling the guards to withdraw the knife, the captain was reluctant at first, but was later ordered by Ding Ruyu to put the long knife on his neck. Only then did they give the order to raise the sails and flags. Now that he is about to make contact with those two great fortune boats, it is too late to turn around, so there is no need to threaten him anymore.
"Left full rudder!" The battleship commander gave the order to the helmsman in a loud voice, "Crash over." Crash through the middle of the Fubune! "Because of the design. The rear of the Fu ship is relatively tall, and the tonnage is larger than that of the battleship, so I chose to hit the side in the middle, so as not to jump the gang, this side is directly at a disadvantage.
If these old pirates don't know much about artillery warfare, but they are very good at this kind of traditional water warfare, so give an order. The boatswain began to instruct the sailors how to pull the sails, and shouted to the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of Ancy on deck: "Shield! Hands and feet, top hard! ”
Almost with his voice. Just like a rain of arrows, the bow of the Japanese people is exaggeratedly large, and the people are short, the bow is higher than the people, which is a true description, and the arrow is nearly 90 centimeters long! The lethality of unarmored and lightly armored targets at close range is terrifying.
Cao Jixiang, who was on the Guangxi, held up the telescope and looked at it and exclaimed: "Kill a thousand knives!" How did you give birth to an arrow that grew up so much! How can this be handled! Young master, let's turn around and go ashore quickly, Mr. Ding will definitely not be able to carry it! He was in a hurry, and he couldn't hide it, and shook out the understanding of military affairs in his stomach, "Anxi has a slave and maid who knows, but it is impossible to be heavily armored in this water battle, how can you carry such a long arrow!" ”
Bian Menda also said to Ding Yi: "Sir, let's fire the cannon!" Ding Zongzhen dragged the other party's Dafu boat, a round of artillery on this side passed, it was all sunk, we still have the battleships behind those big ships, and then save their own people who fell into the water, and let the dogs in the water let them drown slowly! This one really dares to say it, and he is really ruthless, and he doesn't care about Ding Ruyu's life, "When it is decided, it must be decided, sir, Ci is not in charge of the army!" ”
Ding Yi shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
In fact, the soldiers of the Anxi Prefecture who raised their large shields on the battleship did not suffer any casualties.
Because the carcass pills and belly rolls that were fashionable at this time of the Japanese people are mainly made of bamboo and leather, no matter how beautiful the paint is, iron materials are generally not used, and ashigaru does not want to have armor, a katana can be passed down for several generations, and the basic thing with a knife is the samurai class.
Therefore, the pertinence of the Japanese bow is very strong, more than 100 pounds of the Maruki bow or the square bamboo bow, the heavy rattan bow is only used by a few brave warriors in the Japanese country, a large number of low pounds of bamboo bow [it is said that more than 40 kilograms of tension, is not able to make a bamboo bow], it is suitable for the actual situation on the battlefield of the Japanese country, the Japanese archers are faced with a large number of unarmored and light armor target penetration and killing, and its range is very tragic, especially the current headwind, about less than ten meters, of course, this kind of arrow rain as Cao Jixiang said, absolutely not to be underestimated, If the lightly armored target is shot by a bamboo arrow of nearly one meter, there is no need to rescue it.
But how can the shield forged by the Rongcheng Workshop by water power penetrate this rain of arrows? This is not an iron shield, a serious iron shield, or an iron shield forged by hydraulic power; Holding these more than 200 iron shields, the soldiers of the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion who could face the Tartar cavalry shooting, for a while, two rounds of arrow rain, except for a sailor who was extremely unlucky, was pierced by seven or eight long bamboo arrows and died on the spot, there were no other casualties on the battleship.
The rest of the sailors who were hiding behind the shield array, watching their robes die in battle, were all extremely angry, and at this time there was a loud "boom", but the battleship slammed into the side of the ship, and those sailors, according to the boatswain's order, flashed out of the shield array, and threw their claws with ropes knotted, and some people rushed out and put up the gangplank with iron nails on their heads.
"Even, put!" With the swing of the second battalion commander's sword, the drum beat of the herald sounded, and more than 100 rounds of bullets pounced on the Fu Boat, and the continuous three rounds of shooting soon killed and injured the Japanese archers above.
I have to say that the Japanese who dared to go to sea did not fight with a large number of bamboo guns on the battlefield of the Japanese country. On this Daifuku ship, someone immediately shouted and gave an order in the Japanese language, and nearly 100 samurai dressed in carcass pills, belly rolls, and hideous masks and helmets poured out on the Daifuku ship, holding Tai knives and Ye Tai knives.
It's not that the Japanese people don't have strong people, at least at this time, the principal of the Daifuku ship, this move is very wise, after three rounds of shooting, there must be a gap in firepower, and a battalion and a company on the battleship have already led the war horses to the deck, if they are allowed to get on the horses, nearly a hundred war horses kill the Daifuku ship, it is definitely able to buy time for the firecrackers to reload.
Therefore, the main general of the Japanese sent the strongest reserve into the battle, and many unarmored Japanese people also rushed up with a strange scream, and broke the ropes and nail boards that handed over the two ships. There are waves on the surface of the sea, and once these fixations are removed and this position is staggered, then the innate advantage of the Daifuku ship over the battleship will make them occupy an overwhelming position in the gang jumping battle.
The Japanese warrior was as imposing as a rainbow and shouted: "Onboard! "Iron trouble black card, onboard! ”
Holding his long sword aloof, he rushed wildly at the crossboard of the two ships.
"Young master, let's go!" Cao Jixiang only glanced at it and put down the monoculars, this time it was not persuasion, but he reached out and pulled Ding Yi's clothes, pulled out the waist knife with a knife, squeezed Xue Ning directly away with his shoulder, and then shouted at Li Yuncong and Menda Monster, "Are they all fucking dead?" Menda, why don't you tell the scarface surnamed Huang to turn around and dock! The ancestors are stilted, if he hurts the young master, he won't be able to run away from the clan! Xiao Lizi, go and put down the 'Lightning' clipper, the bird boat is fast, let's escort the young master ashore, as long as the young master is safe, then move the troops to pick up Mr. Ding! ”
As soon as Ding broke free of Cao Jixiang's hand pulling him, before he could speak, Cao Jixiang hissed and shouted: "That knife is four feet long, hundreds of people, this is the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, young master, you are the one who has been hit by Tanhua, the Mo knife array moves, and everyone and horses are broken!" What's in the way? The firebolt just shot three more rounds! Let's go! The Daifuku ship is already taller than our ship, and if they want to be cut over and killed, they can't carry it even if they wear heavy armor! ”
Xue Ning was squeezed by Cao Jixiang and hit the side of the ship, she didn't understand military affairs, but listening to Cao Jixiang's words, her face turned pale, but she persuaded: "Master, this Mo knife is moving, and everyone and horses are broken, but according to history, it is true, and the concubine remembers that 'when the heir is a knife, everyone and horses are broken'!" Master, if you can't do anything, don't think of the concubine as a concubine, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the concubine will never tarnish the reputation of the master......" said and pulled out the short sword that was given to her by Ding Yi at that time, and lay it on the jade neck, and said in a trembling voice, "The concubine is fortunate to meet a lover, although she does not stay with her every day, but she also knows that it is a gift from God, master, ...... in the next life."
Menda has rushed to the command cabin here, because the monocular is basically the standard assembly of the Ming army generals, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Menda, naturally will not be without, so Cao Jixiang is also looking at the battle situation in his eyes, although at this time the Guangxi is still a certain distance away from the two Dafu ships, but the Guangxi is much smaller than the battleship, compared to the Dafu ship, that is like a cat seeing a tiger, once the battleship is defeated, the Dafu ship runs over, what kind of Mo knife formation? It's all sunk!
He was shouted by Cao Jixiang, and he really didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly rushed over to find Huang Xiaoyang. (To be continued......)
