Chapter 83

The distance was a little far, and few bullets penetrated the boat gang and fired at the arquebusiers in the back. But this was enough to shock the Nine Ghosts Jialong, because it was more than three hundred steps away.

Shooting at this distance is only the theoretical distance of the arquebus. If you want to shoot the enemy, one depends on character, and the other depends on luck. The opponent's platoon gun was able to shoot people, and this character and luck were also so good that they were bursting.

"Yaga!" The Nine Ghosts Jialong gave the order, and the arquebusiers immediately returned fire. He didn't believe that the luck and character of the descendants of Amaterasu were not as good as those Ming people.

Li Xiao was also in a hurry, otherwise he would not have ordered the shooting from this inscrutable distance. There was a chaotic sound of guns, but I couldn't even see whether anyone on the other side had been shot. Li Xiao misses his military telescope too much, but unfortunately the glass manufacturing on Phi Dao is not up to par.

The glass made is okay to the naked eye, but once it is made into a convex lens, there are bubbles inside. Li Xiao's dream of looking at glasses still has a long way to go.

Now Li Xiao is most fortunate that Ao Canghai has a sperm worm in his brain. I have to go back to Phi Island to see Sister Qiao, and then I have to go back to Changxing Island to train recruits.

Considering that he had to select officers at all levels of the squad platoon company on Phi Island, Li Xiao was left to him.

Unexpectedly, just in time for this attack of the Japanese invaders, he and Li Xiao guarded a boat alone. When it comes to war, officers with rich command experience are too important.

Now Ao Canghai is approaching the warships of the Wa Kingdom in another direction. When the firing range was reached, the order was decisively given to shoot.

As soon as Nine Ghost Jialong's attention was attracted by Li Xiao, he was caught off guard by a violent "crackling" sound on the side of the ship on the other side.

The arquebusier, who was loading, was immediately knocked down, and the deck was covered with flesh and blood. The Nine Ghosts looked at his arquebusier, screaming and wailing and rolling on the deck.

"Retreat!" Seeing the tragic situation on the deck, Nine Ghost Jialong immediately ordered a retreat. As the daimyo of the Cheung Chau Domain, the Nine Demons Yoshitaka did not lack courage. But he suddenly understood one thing, the Shimazu family's Shimazu Yoshihiro is not an idle person. His ten ships are helpless, and his own ship is not an opponent.

Faced with a strong enemy that was basically impossible to defeat, Nine Ghosts Jialong chose to retreat in time.

Li Xiao and Ao Canghai helplessly watched the warships retreat, after all, there were still many ships on the sea. There are also a lot of ships transporting soldiers to land on Phi Island! Now there is no time to chase the warship of the Japanese Kingdom that escaped from the battle.

Tengtang Gaohu was very depressed today and attacked such a small island. With the help of tens of thousands of troops and the help of Korean pirates, they have been fighting for a day and a night, but they still failed to break through the island. As the commander-in-chief, Tengtang Gaohu felt that his face was pressed to the ground by the Ming army on the island.

After a day and a night, Li Xiu also felt that he couldn't stand it anymore. The pirates were so vicious that the minefields around the island did little harm to them. Because those Japanese robbers captured a lot of Korean people, they drove these people to the island. Anyone who doesn't run to the island will be shot with an arquebus.

I saw a group of people rush into the minefield, and then they were swept into the sky by the blast of the explosion. Large chunks of corpses turned into smaller pieces, and then into smaller pieces.

The power of landmines is actually more about deterrence, when one person steps on a mine, other people will feel that there are mines everywhere. But this thing is a one-off, and you can't bury another one immediately after a mine explodes on the battlefield.

By the time the bodies of the North Koreans were spread across the coast of Phi Dao, the minefields had actually been broken.

Faced with the surging Japanese soldiers, Li Xiu could only command the continuous mortar fire. It's a pity that Li Xiu is not Li Xiao. He did not have professional military training, and the gunners relied on experience. Li Xiao's simple ranging method, they have not yet been able to master it.

The accuracy of the shells was much worse, which put the musketeers on the dock into a bitter battle. Fortunately, there were five machine guns stationed on the dock, otherwise the dock would have been breached.

I have to say that the training during this period has played a good role. The musketeers reload very quickly, and there are even combinations in which two people reload, and the other person who shoots accurately is responsible for shooting.

The Mini rifle showed unparalleled power, and with rifling, it was unrivaled in the hands of a seasoned marksman, and it was unrivaled in the span of 200 meters. There are even some perverted guys who like to punch people in the head.

A bullet with great kinetic energy will tear apart the hard skull for the first time. The contents of the head are like a soup dumpling. The broken minced meat flew around, causing a great shock to the enemy army. Usually after one or two headshots, the tough Japanese soldiers will fall on their stomachs, or even flee.

The Phi Island Army is fond of their lying down because the shooters on the high ground have a bird's-eye view of the entire marina beach. When the Japanese soldiers lay down, they would condescendingly shoot at fixed targets, and their shots were very accurate.

As long as the people of the Japanese are gathered, this is the world of mortars. The mortar emplacements are still at the top of the hill, which overlooks the entire Phi Island. As soon as the pirates gathered, a salvo of mortars would come whizzing. Although the accuracy of the artillery guns is not guaranteed, the power of the salvo is still amazing.

After the flying shrapnel, there are usually broken corpses on the ground. Even if they were wearing heavy armor, they could not resist the shrapnel after the gunpowder explosion.

Li Xiu encountered the biggest problem, that is, there were not many mortar shells left. After a day and a night, the shells in the warehouse were almost gone. If the shells run out, the pirates will unscrupulously launch a group charge. Once they get into hand-to-hand combat, the defenders of Phi Island will be crushed in an instant.

After all, the numerical superiority of the people is there. Already a fierce Japanese musketeer ran behind the obstacle and began to shoot at the defenders of Phi Dao. Some even stacked corpses and used them as improvised fortifications.

Just when Li Xiu was so anxious that he was about to jump up, he suddenly found two warships on the sea. The unscrupulous rampage, and even Li Xiu could hear the intermittent sound of the Minnie rifle discharging from the sea.

If the distance is far away, hit with a musket, and throw a grenade when the distance is close. The two ships crisscrossed and crossed between the warships of the Japanese Kingdom, as if they were in a no-man's land.

One by one, the warships of the Japanese kingdom withdrew from the battle, and the main role of grenades was shrapnel. The destruction of the warship was very limited, so the warships of the Japanese Kingdom could still withdraw from the battlefield completely after losing a large number of manpower.

Tengtang Gaohu's eyes were about to burst into flames, and after paying a huge price, he could finally land on the island and shoot at the Ming army. As long as one more wave of troops is landed, these Ming troops can be crushed. His rich battlefield experience allowed him to make a judgment, although the Ming weapons on the island were sharp, but their numbers were very small. The total number of people will definitely not exceed a thousand, such a numerical disadvantage, once they land on the island for hand-to-hand combat, they are definitely not opponents.

But now there were two vicious warships behind them, and they looked like sharks in the sea. Constantly wandering in search of the Japanese warships to attack, and the Japanese warships that engage them will be quickly defeated by them. He successively sent more than a dozen boats to block the attack, but they were all beaten and fled.

"Domain lord, the Ming army is coming to our ship." The signal soldier shouted, and Tengtang Gaohu hurriedly raised the telescope.

In the telescope, two Ming warships were outflanked by one left and one right. The bulging sails carried strong power, urging the warship to rush towards the Tengtang Gaohu's car.

"Iron cannon ga!" Tengtang Gaohu gave an order, and the bow of the warship immediately launched two cannons.

There were few guns on the warships of the Japanese Kingdom, but the ships of the Tengtang Gaohu had the Franc cannons bought from the hands of the red-haired ghosts. The Japanese artillery was all trained in Macao, and the charging and ammunition were completed in one go.

"Boom" "Boom" ......!

There were two loud bangs, and a puff of smoke came out of the muzzle. Two shells burst out, and the powerful recoil made the ships tremble.

Li Xiao felt a current, and flew over the mast of the ship he was sitting on. The left chord's side was shattered in one fell swoop, and fragments of the shattered hull were scattered and scattered. The two soldiers were interrupted by a cannonball, howling and tossing on the deck, and the blood stained the deck red in an instant.

"Go back, go back to the island." Li Xiao's back was full of sweat. Unexpectedly, there were cannons on the warships of the Japanese Kingdom, that is, solid shells in these years, which had relatively little destructive power to the warships. But if such a shell hits twice, his own warship will not be able to hold it.

Ao Canghai's bastard is not much slower than Li Xiao's reaction. The warship made a graceful arc, and two cannonballs flew past the bridge.

The sailors in the lower cabins paddled vigorously, and the water swayed a series of white foam.

"Domain Lord! The Ming warship fled, do you want to pursue? ”

Tengtang Gaohu looked at the warships scattered and fleeing in the distance, and the only ones floating on the sea were his own boat and a few ships, and sighed helplessly. Now, even if all the ships are gathered, it will be difficult to have the same spirit as before.

Moreover, the casualties of each ship were very large, and if you want to land on the island to fight, you still have the morale at the beginning. "Forget it, let's go back." Teng Tang Gaohu commanded his subordinates helplessly.

"Send someone to contact the Ming army and release our prisoners. We can exchange it for Daming Maritime Merchants! "Look at the Japanese soldiers who are still fighting on the island, Tengtang Gaohu once again commanded.

These are their own soldiers, and Lantau, Satsuma, and Cheung Chau have always been allied. I helped them save these soldiers, and when they returned, they could explain to the other two feudal lords.

I just don't know if Shimazu Yoshihiro's kid has an accident, and if he has an accident, how can he explain it to the Shimazu family.

Li Xiao's warship fled back to the harbor and successfully blocked the Japanese soldiers on the dock from behind.

In the past, I always heard about how the samurai of the Wa Kingdom would rather die than surrender, but now it seems to be all nonsense. Hundreds of surviving Japanese soldiers fell to their knees and begged Li Xiao to surrender.
