Chapter 1212: Bloody Battle of the Hirado Domain (10)
Hirado Island, this is not only the nest of the Tagawa clan and the Zheng family, but also the original center of the Nagasaki Domain, after all, Hirado Mishima is the gateway of the Nagasaki Domain, and it has an extremely important position in the military and economy.
Even now Tagawa Nanazaemon is beginning to control the entire Hirado Mishima, but Tokugawa Iemitsu still maintains absolute control over Hirado Mishima, similarly, now the Hirado Domain is divided into two, and Hirado Mishima is independent, leaving Nagasaki to Matsuura Townobu, but Matsuura Townobu is also unwilling to give up this Hirado Mishima, and still retains many forces openly and secretly, this is a cornucopia, who wants to give up?
Now the Ming naval fleet suddenly inserted a pole in, whether it is Tagawa Nanazaemon or Matsuura Zhenxin, which is close at hand, they will not accept it, the two people are fighting, at least it is still under the control of Dongying, once it is occupied by the Ming naval fleet, it is not Dongying's territory, even the whole of Nagasaki is in danger, how can the two of them agree?
The current Tagawa Nanazaemon has gathered almost all the infantry of the Zheng family on Hirado Island, and similarly, Matsuura Zhenxin mobilized more than 10,000 troops from Nagasaki in one go, all of them were deployed to Hirado Island, preparing to defend Hirado to the death, and at the same time, there was a steady stream of reinforcements following behind.
The Tagawa clan and the Matsuura clan also had more than 30,000 troops in Hirado, and they also had the advantage of location, and these people were too familiar with Hirado to go wrong even with their eyes closed.
The small island of Hirado, with a radius of only thirty miles, has gathered more than 70,000 troops from the three sides, and it has completely become a powder keg!
Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Nanazaemon were full of confidence, taking advantage of the geographical advantage and the same enemy, thinking that the army of the Ming Dynasty would never take any advantage, but when they really moved the real character, they found that it was not the same thing at all, on the opposite side, the attack of the Tianxiong army was too fierce, completely beyond imagination!!
The three artillery battalions and fifty artillery pieces mobilized by Qin Mufeng alone caused a huge deterrent to the coalition forces on both sides, and one shell after another smashed down on the opposite position, and then exploded a black cloud on the ground, filled with gunpowder smoke, and the flames of war were raging, blowing up the positions of the Songpu family and the Zheng family all over the place, beyond recognition; In front of fifty artillery pieces, the artillery of the Songpu family and the Zheng family is too insignificant, the artillery of the Zheng family is okay, at least the red-clothed artillery, solid shells, and the artillery brought by Songpu Zhenxin is still at the level of the Francophone machine gun and the general's cannon, and the waves of artillery bombardment directly destroyed the artillery positions of the two families, and also destroyed the will to fight of the two armies!
Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Nanazaemon have seen flowering cannons, but they have never seen so many flowering cannons, not to mention these two people, even if the entire Dongying, all the troops are counted, and they will definitely not be able to make up fifty flowering cannons, in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the Tianxiong army, the strength of the two people was directly stunned! Neither of the two bigwigs has seen it, let alone these soldiers below? Then I haven't seen it before!
Shells flew, explosions rang out, the soldiers of the Dongying army and the Zheng family army were constantly bombed into the sky, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, the horror was incomparable, one by one the soldiers howled miserably, scurrying around the position, and they couldn't contain the fear in their hearts at all.
Under the cover of the artillery battalion, the infantry of the Tianxiong Army began a large-scale charge, and the soldiers shot while rushing forward, which was completely an over-the-horizon fire strike, whether it was Matsuura Zhenxin's army or Tagawa Nanazaemon's army, under the blow of the flintlock musket, there was not much power to fight back at all!
"Yagaya Road, Tagawa! You're a! ”
Matsuura Zhenxin was completely stunned, and suddenly grabbed Tagawa Nanazaemon by the collar, and roared angrily: "This is the vulnerable Ming Army you are talking about?" Open your dog's eyes and see the musket in their hands! Two or three hundred paces away, you can directly kill the enemy, in comparison, the arquebus in your hand is a fucking rolling pin! The katana held by Lao Tzu's army is not as good as a kitchen knife! How do you fight this? How to fight? Tell me about it! How to fight! ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon is also blindfolded, unlucky, he still thinks that there is not much difference between arquebuses and flintlock muskets, Van der Vaart robbed out of the munitions, almost all of which flintlock muskets sank into the sea with Zheng Cai's warship, and the rest are arquebuses bought back from Nanyang, and now as soon as they fight, they found out that these bullshit arquebuses are not used at all, Hirado Mishima is close to the coast, the weather is humid, it is not easy to light a fire, originally one or two can light the arquebus, now, it takes three or four times or even moreHowever, the infantry of the Ming Dynasty will not leave you time to light the arquebus calmly!
The rate of fire is slow, not counted, the range of this arquebus is also far from the flintlock musket, the effective range of the flintlock musket is full of three hundred steps, but the arquebus is only less than two hundred steps, don't look at the difference of only one hundred steps, on the battlefield, even if it is only twenty steps, ten steps of the difference, the deterrent effect brought is completely different!
The infantry of the Zheng family is equipped with 4,000 arquebuses, in front of the Tianxiong army, it is not enough to see at all, the firearms are not good, and the shooting skills are also not good, how can this stop the crazy attack of the Tianxiong army? As for Matsuura Zhenxin's army, it is not enough to see it now, holding a katana and facing off against someone's musket battalion? It's definitely as miserable as it gets!
"Why do you ask me, who will I ask!"
Tagawa is even more angry, Hirado Island is lost, at least Matsuura Zhenxin and Nagasaki can retreat, but he has no fart, and he doesn't even have a place to stay! This time, I really fell for Van der Vaart's dog, and he was going to be killed, and the shitty arquebus was the same price as the flintlock musket! Grandma, what the hell is this, where is it at a grade?
Matsuura Zhenxin said fiercely: "Then what do you say?" If we continue to be passive like this, it is estimated that our 30,000 people will not be enough to kill the army of the Ming Dynasty, and Hirado Island will definitely be lost! Don't blame Lao Tzu for not being righteous, Lao Tzu led the army straight back to Nagasaki! ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon was startled, at this time, if Matsuura Town letter car ladder, then he would really be a dead end!
"Matsuura-kun, don't be impatient, the Ming army will attack our Hirado Island with all its might, and Fukushima's defense will naturally be weak, otherwise we will mobilize an elite force, take their nest, and then directly destroy their troop carriers?"
