Chapter Sixty-Nine: What's the Situation?
The weather near the wax moon can be felt even in the East China Sea, and I don't know when the fog on the sea surface makes people unable to distinguish between north and south.
Wang Ze, who was 'wanting' to attack, had to follow Qu Liulang's advice and take a break for the time being, and in boredom, Wang Ze and Yang Ku played Go.
As a representative of the standard stinky chess basket, Wang Ze was brutally abused by Yang Ku, Wang Ze really wanted to say that we should play backgammon!
Just when Wang Ze was killed by Yang Ku for five games in a row, there was a sudden shouting sound on the sea, Wang Ze chuckled in his heart, but he didn't move on his face, and after cleaning up the chess pieces, he invited Yang Ku to come out and take a look.
"Xiao Langjun is not good, the Japanese Navy took advantage of the fog to sneak attack!" As soon as Wang Ze got out of the cabin, he heard the words of Du Sheng, who rushed over.
Wang Ze's sails and ships all use sails to move, because the new ships are fast at sea, and in order to prevent accidents, they all dock near this small island to form a water wall, and only some sea foxes patrol outside.
The ships of the Japanese people were basically rowed by manpower, and they were ready to take advantage of the advantage of their own ships to sneak attack on the foggy day, and the Japanese people prepared a number of small boats filled with fire starters, preparing to attack Wang Ze's naval army with fire.
Fortunately, Qu Liulang has always had high requirements for the navy, even if it is a foggy day, but the sea fox boats sent out have not slackened one by one, and a sea fox boat happened to hear the faint sound of rowing nearby.
Wang Ze's side did not have a boat with oars, so only the enemy's Wa State and Nanliang Sailors had this kind of boat, so the scouts on the sea fox ships immediately sounded the alarm.
As soon as the Japanese saw that their sneak attack could not be successful, they immediately prepared to attack, and a large number of fire and oil ships opened the way in front, and the fire attacked Wang Ze's water army, which was urgently activated.
When the first alarm sounded from the sea fox ship, Qu Liulang knew that someone had attacked and began to urgently anchor, and dozens of other sea fox ships were urgently dispatched to stop the Japanese naval army.
These sea foxes had three or five 'bed' crossbows, and they used gunpowder bombs to sink and injure the approaching Japanese naval vessels, thus gaining some time for the big ships behind to start.
Because it was a foggy day, the original flag language could not be used, and Qu Liulang mobilized the various water armies through the horn, drum, and the unique copper horn of the cottage, but there was no 'chaos'.
At this time, a large number of fireships had rapidly approached the fleet of the Jeju Island naval army, and the new sea-going ships did not lose much because of their fast speed, but more than a dozen of the 20 or so warships that had been "traded" from the south were ignited by the fireboats because of their slow speed.
However, the location of the fleet was very close to the island, and the sailors on the ship swam smoothly to the island, which comforted the angry Wang Ze a little.
With the close cooperation of Qu Liulang, Du Sheng, Gu Bin, and two other captains, Kan Le and Zong Li, the Jeju Island Navy launched a fierce battle with the Japanese Navy.
Although the sea breeze was very small in the morning, Qu Rokuro still used all the sails to increase the speed of the ship to twice the speed of the Japanese navy, of course, this is also because the speed of the ships of the Japanese navy is too slow.
Taking advantage of its speed, the Jeju Island Navy took three ships as combat units and threw gunpowder bombs at the Japanese naval vessels one by one, and the bombed Japanese naval vessels were 'chaotic'.
Unconsciously, a considerable number of Japanese ships were 'forced' to the position of the island, and at this time, these Japanese ships were actually between the Jeju Island Navy and the island.
At this moment, there was a sound of gongs on the ship, and the Japanese navy thought that the enemy was going to sound the gong to withdraw its troops, but at this time, the infantry troops on the shore were also ready to shoot out a large number of gunpowder and rockets with crossbow shots.
These Japanese ships quickly perished under the attack from both sides, except for a dozen or so that escaped, and nearly 40 were destroyed and sunk.
As time passed, the fog on the sea gradually dissipated after the sun rose, and the naval posture of both sides was already distinct.
More than 50 warships were destroyed yesterday, and today they have lost 40 warships and nearly 70 warships in that moment alone.
Although there are still nearly 200 ships in the Wakoku, the morale has begun to decline, and the enthusiasm for battle has been extinguished by the Jeju Island naval army.
On the other hand, although Wang Ze's side began to be attacked by the Japanese and lost more than a dozen warships, the personnel on board escaped safely to the shore, and five or six of the other new sea ships were seriously injured, and more than a dozen sea fox boats were also lost, and the loss of personnel was less than 200 people.
At this time, the ships of the Japanese navy were already in a 'chaotic mess', and they were besieged by Qu Liulang under the command of various naval forces, because the ships were fast and could always quickly concentrate superior forces to encircle and annihilate a small part of the Japanese naval army.
At this moment, the Nanliang Navy Division suddenly appeared on the sea, and this time the Nanliang Navy Army dispatched its entire army without reservation, and sixty warships and other ships of all kinds gathered together, which was even more spectacular than the two hundred sea ships of the Japanese people.
Seeing that a large number of reinforcements had arrived, the Japanese naval army immediately shouted and began to continue the fight with the Jeju Island naval army, preparing to entangle the other party and buy time for the reinforcements behind.
Wang Ze was also 'excited' when he saw the appearance of the Southern Liang Naval Army, according to Xiao Yu's handwritten letter sent by Lu Zhen last night, the Southern Liang Naval Army would give the Japanese Naval Army a blow in the back, but now that he was attacked by the Japanese people, I don't know if Xiao Yu can still do what the letter says.
But no matter what, the Japanese people and the high-ranking officials of Wang Ze's navy thought that their friendly troops had come to the battlefield, and the battle scene was even more 'intense'.
This time, in order to defeat the remnants of the Japanese naval army, there was also the intention of deterring Xiao Yu's Southern Liang naval army, and a large number of gunpowder' bullets and oil arrows were 'shot' at the Japanese naval army as if they did not need money.
At this moment, the Southern Liang Navy actually turned around and headed for the north, which surprised the unaware Jeju Island Navy soldiers, and Wang Ze was surprised in his heart.
What was even more surprised and angry was that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Naval Army, Su My Sister, who was also the cousin of Su My Mazi, thought that by entangling the Jeju Island Naval Army, he could destroy the enemy together with the Southern Liang Naval Army, but who knew that when the enemy and us were 'intertwined', Xiao Liang's Naval Army actually patted his ass and fled.
"Xiahou, what do you think we should do?" Yang Ku saw that Xiao Yu unexpectedly changed his course, neither flanking himself with the Japanese naval army, nor taking refuge in himself according to last night's letter, but chose to take advantage of the fact that neither he nor the Japanese could 'draw' their bodies and leave.
Wang Ze was very annoyed at first when he saw that Xiao Yu did not take refuge in him as the letter said, but after thinking about it carefully, he laughed again, and the sheep withered and the people around him were puzzled.
Seeing the worry on Yang Ku's face, Wang Ze opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's good, if Xiao Yu takes refuge with me, it will be difficult to deal with it, he is now thousands of sailors, and tens of thousands of personnel are also considered a force in the East China Sea." Moreover, Xiao Yu and his generals are all from the Southern Dynasty clan, if they take refuge in me, I am afraid that it will form a hidden danger on our side! Good go! ”
Hearing Wang Ze's explanation, Yang Ku was also relieved, he was really afraid that Wang Ze would be angry with Xiao Yu, after all, the Nanliang Navy said before that it was going to take refuge in him.
Now that I think about it, there was Xiao Jing in the cottage, and Xiao Jing also brought thousands of people when he took refuge, and a considerable number of these people have now become middle-level officials in the cottage.
If you accept Xiao Yu's refuge again, it will suddenly become another mountain after Wang Yong and Wang Ze, and what is even worse is that Xiao Yu also has Xiao Gang's grandson Xiao Yin, who is the direct grandson of the Xiao Liang royal family of the Southern Dynasty, and it is a big hidden danger if it is not 'done'.
Let's go, it's better to go, if Xiao Yu really takes refuge in Wang Ze, he will really have to trouble himself, and Yang Ku is relieved to think in his heart.
Besides, the news of the defection of the Southern Liang Navy was originally known by Wang Ze, Yangku, Qu Liulang and a few others, but the other generals and soldiers did not know.
The reinforcements that the Japanese Navy was looking forward to fled without a fight, and the morale of the soldiers of the Japanese Navy was completely dampened at once.
Originally, they relied on their reinforcements to come here to fight against the Jeju Island naval army, but as a result, Xiao Liang's reinforcements fled without a fight, almost suffocating the Japanese people to death.
There was no suspense in the next battle on the sea, and Qu Liulang mobilized the clippers to cooperate with the big ships to continuously attack some of the ships that wanted to concentrate on resisting.
In the end, most of the more than 200 Japanese ships were sunk and captured, and only about 100 escaped into the port on the big island, where they were blocked by Qu Liulang and could not come out.
Of course, there were also some Japanese warships that escaped to heaven because of the lack of chases on Qu Liulang's side, and this part of the Japanese naval army fled to Tsukushi Island in the east to report the news.
···························
Qu Liulang stood on the deck with a leisurely whistle, one foot on the side of the boat and shaking, the expression on his face was extraordinary.
It's no wonder that Qu Liulang was proud, this time he commanded less than a hundred warships to defeat the Wa State, a large country in the East China Sea, which had hundreds of warships, and let the Nanliang Navy Army that helped the Wa people flee without a fight.
Now that the only remaining remnants of the Japanese army have been blocked in this harbor, Qu Liulang only needs to pay attention to not letting the Japanese escape, and the rest is the matter of Cao An's infantry army.
The Japanese people on the five islands didn't have much to kick in, and Cao An, Zhang Hang, Chu Honghang, Meng Xian and others led the blue wolf battalion, which was good at mountain warfare, to land.
From the beginning of its establishment, the blue wolf battalion has been running for mountain warfare and jungle warfare, and the soldiers recruited later are basically mountain people and hunters in the mountains near Qizhou, and there are also some hunters in the land of Sanqi.
These people are 'elite' soldiers who are good at mountain warfare with a little training, and after some systematic training by Cao An and others, they have participated in several battles in Jinan City, and now they are veterans of battle.
The main island of the five-island archipelago in front of him is basically all mountainous jungles, which is a battlefield suitable for the Blue Wolf Battalion to fight, and it can be regarded as the first mountain battle of the Blue Wolf Battalion.
In order not to 'waste' a good training opportunity, the soldiers who landed were not only from the blue wolf battalion, but also the soldiers from the tiger battalion led by Jiang Chuan.
Qu Liulang at sea cooperated with Jiang Chuan's infantry army on land, and wiped out all the Japanese naval ships in the port.
Seeing this scene, Yang Ku exclaimed: "What a group of brave men! ”
Wang Ze smiled at Yang Ku and said: "No matter how brave and fierce we are, it is also our country of hatred, and in my eyes, only the dead Japanese people are good!" ”
After eliminating the Japanese people in the port, with the Blue Wolf Battalion as the main Tiger Battalion, they began to comprehensively encircle and suppress the remaining Japanese people on the island, after all, Wang Ze planned to set up a residence on the island in the future.
It took only three hours to wipe out the Japanese in the port, but it took five days to wipe out the Japanese on the island.
In five days, more than 5,000 Japanese who could not be distinguished from soldiers or civilians were eliminated, and more than 3,000 prisoners were captured.
Needless to say, these guys are all good slave candidates, and there are also a group of young 'women', who should have been the spoils of war obtained by exterminating the Japanese tribe on the island.
Seeing the more than 1,000 young and strong prisoners of war, Wang Ze nodded, what a good coolie!
But when he saw those Japanese 'women', Wang Ze was really furious! He angrily reprimanded several captains who came to invite merit: "What is the use of such an ugly 'girl' coming? In the future, there will be prisoners of war, and the 'women' and ugly ones will just be thrown into the sea to feed the fish! ”
