Chapter 677: Battle of Tsushima VII
Just got a victory that didn't take the lead. Liu Bochen looked up, but saw that the pillar of smoke on the mountain had changed from one to three.
Liu Bochen was afraid that the enemy would come again, so he immediately said: "I want to fix all the small boats together, make a floating dock, and let the people on the boat disembark." ”
"Yes."
They wanted to build a pontoon bridge, connecting the small boats end to end, and then laying wooden planks on them, which became a trestle bridge deep into the sea.
Then on both sides of the trestle, long pennies were inserted into the seabed to fix them. One ship after another leaned against the temporary trestle, and all the soldiers used rope ladders to get down from the boats. Go ashore along the trestle.
Even so, for a long time.
Liu Bochen was wearing soaked clothes, and he didn't dare to change them, for fear that the enemy would kill him in a big way. He stood in place and waited, and the soldiers who got off the boat all consciously lined up behind Liu Bochen, but after a while, they were full of several phalanxes.
It was only at this time that news came that the enemy had abandoned the dock and retreated.
A few hours ago, above the docks.
Zong Shengzhi was already familiar with how to deal with the North Korean soldiers. Under the bombardment of his muskets and artillery, even if the Korean soldiers went ashore, they could not stand firm and would be defeated.
Today, however, he felt a little uneasy.
He felt that the combat effectiveness of the North Korean soldiers was weak, but it did not mean that the North Koreans were fools. They already know that such an attack is useless, it can only consume human lives in vain, and it is not a fool's behavior to still do this.
So Zong Shengzhi was uneasy, he felt that there must be some conspiracy among the North Koreans.
The conspiracy was not long in coming.
"Your Highness, there is an alarm in the north."
Zong Shengzhi said: "I saw it. ”
A pillar of smoke rose into the sky from the north, it was beacon fire and wolf smoke, Zong Shengzhi arranged a high defensive means, and said, "Who is there nearby?" ”
"It's just a few strong men." 、
Zong Shengzhi looked at the ships on the sea, and then looked at the wolf smoke that was ignited, and said secretly in his heart: "The number of ships is not small, either the other party has increased its troops, or the other side is playing tricks?" ”
Zong Shengzhi judged that the number of ships at sea could only be counted, and now there are a lot of ships, and Liu Bochen used all the ships he used to bring ships from Busan.
Zong Shengzhi immediately said: "Stay and block them, and the others will follow me." ”
Zong Shengzhi dispatched more than 1,000 soldiers and immediately took a shortcut to run towards the place where the smoke was burning. Along the way, Zong Shengzhi has been paying attention to the smoke on his head.
Different beacon smoke has different meanings, for example, now, one beacon smoke is the enemy attacking, two beacon smoke is fighting, and three beacon smoke is the defeat of our army and the enemy army has landed.
In a few moments, another smoke lit up.
Zong Shengzhi slammed and said, "Speed up." He himself ran at the front, leading the whole team of soldiers to run wildly.
This kind of rushing through the battle is actually not good for them, running through it in one breath, even if it is still a little strength to fight on the battlefield, in ancient times, except for the cavalry, the daily journey is only dozens of miles, not because it can't go faster, but the army must maintain physical strength at any time to deal with the war.
In modern times, there are many examples of running hundreds of miles, because now the battle mainly depends on the output of firepower, not the output of physical strength, and the soldiers consume their physical strength on the road, and when it comes to the battle, they only need to have the physical strength to shoot.
But this is not the case in this era.
In every era, there are laws of war in every era.
Now for Zong Shengzhi, it's not that he doesn't know the harm of doing this, but he has no other way.
There are no more than 10,000 men in the entire Tsushima Island, and this includes the elderly in their seventies and eighties, and the children who have no adults. If he can't force the other party to land, there is still a little chance of preserving Tsushima, and the enemy only needs to go ashore. There was no longer any hope of preserving Tsushima.
It's just that the more people worry about something, the more it will happen.
Zong Shengzhi stopped abruptly, because the beacon smoke had changed from two to three. The situation is irreparable.
What surprised Zong Shengzhi even more was the speed at which they lit the third beacon smoke.
As soon as the second beacon smoke was lit, the third beacon smoke was ignited, and there seemed to be no pause in between, indicating that those people died too quickly. It's so fast that the people who light the beacon smoke don't think of it.
"Your Highness. What are we going to do? ”
"Withdraw to the castle tower." Zong Shengzhi burst out a sentence from between his teeth.
Here he could already see the shadow of the sea, and he could get to the shore just by going around it, but even if he did, the enemy was already on his feet. How can you drive it into the sea?
In this way, Zong Shengji ordered all of Zong's troops to shrink to the castle tower.
The so-called castle tower is the core of the clan rule, and it is a small castle where the clan lives every day. However, there are only a few tens of thousands of people in Tsushima, and they are scattered among the two large islands with different farms. Therefore, the ruthlessness of the entire Zong clan's rule, Yan Yuan City is not big.
However, the terrain is more precarious.
In the middle of the mountain, the steep peaks behind them, and attacking from the bottom to the top, they must attack from the back, and throwing rolling stones from the top to the bottom does not require much strength, and the terrain alone allows them to roll far and wide.
"It's a small city that's not easy to fight." Liu Bochen said.
When Dongyong and the Korean coalition came to the city of Yanyuan, it was already the next morning.
The army was divided into two parts, one was the Yong army and the other was the Korean army.
Zhu Houhuang's style of governing the army has been integrated into the bones of Yongjun. Even the Annam Army, which was used as an attached army, stood in excellent queues. And the North Korean queue simply can't look at it.
Liu Laodao said: "It's really not easy to fight, if you don't send a messenger to surrender, I don't think the Zong clan will hold on to one idea." ”
Liu Laodao had a headache when he saw this castle, and he didn't need to look at it, it was a city that needed a lot of lives to fill. That's why I came up with this idea.
Zhu Houhuang cherishes the lives of his soldiers, and works up and down, so that all Dongyong generals regard casualties as a very important aspect, of course, when it is time to die, Zhu Houhuang will not blame him. After all, is there a war? Where are the immortals, but if there are not people who should be killed, there are many dead people, Zhu Houhuang looked at this general differently.
So Liu Laodao didn't want to die.
"Absolutely not." Yin Yuanheng said. said: "The Zong clan has been in Tsushima Island for hundreds of years, and it is deeply rooted, as long as the Zong clan is here, Tsushima Island is the Zong clan." Didn't Dongyong want to occupy Tsushima? How can you stay on Tsushima Island with peace of mind? ”
Liu Laodao said: "It's okay. As long as the Zong clan surrenders, I will ask for an order to exile the entire clan of the Zong clan to the South China Sea, there are so many desert islands in the South China Sea, just give him one. ”
Liu Laodao never cared about the Zong family. The requirements for Tsushima are not the same, and the conclusions are not the same.
North Korea just wants to calm down the sea in the east and clean up Tsushima Island, just like the Ming Dynasty cleaned up the islands of Shuangyu and Penghu.
In the future, Tsushima Island will be a transit place for materials between North Korea and Dongyong, and Dongyong will maintain its existence on Tsushima Island.
Not to mention that Dongyong will not leave the Zong clan on Tsushima Island, even if the Zong clan stays on Tsushima Island, as long as Dongyong's power is there. The Zong clan can't make big waves.
But Yin Yuanheng was unwilling, Yin Yuanheng said: "Okay, even if I go to persuade him to surrender, but I must get Zong Shengzhi's head, otherwise, I can't explain to Hancheng." ”
Yin Yuanheng's contribution to pacifying the Japanese must always have a certificate, and this certificate is the head of Zong Shengzhi, without the head of Zong Shengzhi, Yin Yuanheng's political achievements cannot stand.
Therefore, for Zong Shengzhi's head, Yin Yuanheng is bound to win.
Liu Laodao said: "It's just that the siege of the city must have heavy casualties, and the adults also know that our Yongjun is about to use force against the Ouchi clan, and we can't easily damage our strength at this moment." ”
Yin Yuanheng understood this at all, and said: "Okay, my Korean soldiers will attack mainly, but I need your artillery support." ”
Yin Yuanheng couldn't see that this small castle had a reputation, but he just felt that with enough artillery, he could take down this castle, and as for how many people died, he didn't care at all.
"It's a deal." Liu Laodao said.
