Chapter 1207: Bloody Battle of the Hirado Domain (5)
Facing the crazy attack of a thousand amphibious battalion soldiers, today's Zheng army infantry is like a group of helpless sheep, the Ming army in front of them is too crazy, both sides are not on the same level, one-on-one, a Japanese ronin may still be able to withstand an amphibious battalion soldier, two against two, the Japanese ronin will only fail and have an ending, as for three against three, it is even more different, it is completely a one-sided slaughter!
The elite soldiers of the four towns of Nanjing were all killed from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, and the Manchurian elite cavalry faced the enemy head-on, and they were not left behind, and the elites selected from them could imagine their combat power, three or four bayonets were stabbed out at the same time, and the Japanese ronin had three heads and six arms, and there was nothing they could do.
From landing to completely defeating the opponent, it took less than two quarters of an hour for the soldiers of the amphibious battalion, and the Zheng army of nearly 800 people was left with less than 200 people.
However, the soldiers of the amphibious battalion did not intend to give their opponents a chance to continue to hold on to the fort, like a raging wave on the sea, swept from behind, leaving no chance for their opponents, and in a moment, they had already rushed to the edge of the fort.
Twelve artillery pieces stood on the battery, the artillery here was only about 200 people in total, plus the troops who retreated to the battery, it was only a little more than 300 people, in the face of the crazy attack of the amphibious battalion, these people were already desperate, the gunners did not even have the heart to continue the shelling, their hearts trembled!
"Oops......"
An artilleryman trembled and picked up a shell, and with a slip of trembling hands, the shell fell, but it fell on the surface of his feet, and he sat on the ground in an instant, and let out a terrible howl from his mouth, and the sixty-pound shell slipped down, directly smashing the leg bones and foot bones......
On the fort, all the Zheng troops are already in a mess, reinforcements? At this time, where are the reinforcements? Even if there are reinforcements, it has only been half an hour, and where can the troops from as far away as Nagasaki or Hirado Island rush to help? It's a pirate, not a flat river.
The amphibious battalion took Fukushima directly with almost no effort, which is also Qin Mufeng's cleverness, although Fukushima is important, but after all, it cannot be compared with Hirado, after all, Hirado Island is where the Hirado Domain is located, a Hirado Island gathers at least three or four thousand infantry troops of the Zheng family, and there are two forts, if you want to take Hirado's forts in one go, it is not so easy.
The odd soldiers stood out, took the Fukushima Fort in one go, and solved the biggest trouble with the fastest speed and the lowest cost, while maintaining strong pressure on the Zheng family, this was Qin Mufeng's purpose.
Even if the Zheng family's infantry resisted fiercely, under the strong attack of 1,000 amphibious battalion soldiers, they did not have the strength to resist, and an hour later, the Fukushima fort officially changed hands.
Soon, the news spread to Hirado Island.
Tagawa Nanazaemon was shocked and angry, from the beginning of the war to now, it was only two hours, the Fukushima fort was lost, and the entire Fukushima was now under the control of the Ming army, as for the Zheng family's fleet, if it were not for the cover of the three forts, I am afraid that it would have been defeated long ago!
When did the navy of the Ming army turn out to be so strong!
The first two sea battles gave Tian Chuan an illusion, that is, the Ming Navy was vulnerable, at least, it was not his opponent with Zheng Cai, after all, the former military battalion of the Fujian Navy Division was the strongest, and he directly purchased more than a dozen main warships from Nanyang, and the strength was not strong, even if the strength of the Ming Navy increased, after the annexation of the Fujian Navy Division, there were elite sailors to help, but it was not necessarily their opponent, at least here in Hirado Mishima, the Ming Army could not help themselves.
However, the nature of the two naval battles is completely different......
In the first naval battle, Zheng Cai moved his heart and defeated Zheng Hongkui on the sea, which was only the main force of the Fujian Naval Division, which was said to be the main force, but in fact, the combat power was less than half of the peak combat power of the Fujian Naval Division, and there was only an empty shell; In the second naval battle, the imperial navy had just been prepared, the two major naval divisions had just been merged, the relationship between the various departments had not been straightened out, the coordination of the various departments was not coordinated, and it was a hasty move, facing the simultaneous raid of Zheng Cai's fleet and the Nanyang fleet, it was inevitable to be restrained, however, this is not evidence of the insufficient strength of the Ming naval fleet, if there is not enough strength, Cha Xuan will not dare to directly lead the naval fleet to directly expedition to Batavia, the Dutch have dominated the South Seas for thirty or forty years, how can it be so easy to be defeated?
The Fukushima battery is lost, Fukushima is lost, the fleet is blocked in the nest by others, unable to move, and the situation has reached the extreme!
"Herald! Mobilize our infantry and assemble in the direction of the battery, and we must hold two batteries! ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon roared, "Also, has the news of our distress come out?" Isn't the shogunate's sailor nearby? Ask them to rush to the aid immediately, rush to the aid immediately! As long as you can repel the Ming army, at any cost! ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon was anxious, and now the situation was urgent, so he could only ask the Tokugawa Shogunate for help, hoping that the Tokugawa Shogunate would come forward, and the only hope in Tagawa's heart had been pinned on the Tokugawa Shogunate, after all, he knew that Tokugawa Iemitsu, as the actual ruler of Toei, was very conservative, rejecting in-depth contact with any country in the outside world, closing the country, banning trade, and even strictly prohibiting foreign missionaries.
Now that the Ming army has hit the doorstep, even if he is not from Dongying, he will definitely not sit idly by compared to General Tokugawa, first repelling the Ming army in front of him, and then, even if Tokugawa Iemitsu finds that he can't provoke the Ming Empire, he has already provoked it, he can't think of being able to get out, he is a piece of dog skin plaster, since it has been pasted, he Tokugawa Iemitsu can't imagine that he can easily tear it off!
Tagawa Nanazaemon is not wrong about this, it is a coincidence that the sailors of the Tokugawa Shogunate have been cruising in the south recently, after all, the sea power of the Tagawa clan and the Zheng clan is too strong, and even has surpassed the sea power of the Tokugawa shogunate, it is impossible not to arouse the vigilance of Tokugawa Iemitsu, what if it is a problem to raise a tiger? I have to guard against it......
It's just that what Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't expect was that it wasn't a tiger breeding, it was completely a wolf that lured a wolf into the house, attracted a wolf, followed by a fierce tiger, and this tiger was the real deadly existence......
Just over an hour after the start of the war, the shogunate sailors who were cruising and patrolling south of Shimonoseki got the news that Tagawa Nanazaemon asked for help, and urgently asked for help, and the Ming Dynasty invaded!
