The soldiers of Ah San had no intention of fighting, and their morale was completely lost after being bombarded by several rounds of artillery fire, and the enemy attacked the island, which made their morale begin to be confused.

In the end, the explosion of the earth-shattering thunder caused them to collapse completely.

"Demons... They are all demons! ”

A soldier of Ah San threw away the weapon in his hand in a panic, turned around and ran into the darkness.

"Bastards, don't run, whoever runs will die, oversee the team, kill those bastards who escaped."

Hart jumped out from behind the rocks, yelling at the fleeing soldiers, and shouting to the Warlords to kill the fleeing soldiers.

But there are only a dozen people in the Governor team, how can they stop so many deserters.

Stop this way, run that way, stop this side, run that side again.

Soon, on the beach heights, Ah San ran away with the soldiers, leaving only corpses and Hart and the Overseer who jumped and scolded him.

"The enemy is coming!"

Just then, the Marines rushed up.

A soldier of the Guardian Brigade exclaimed, threw away the big knife in his hand, turned around and ran.

"Bang bang bang..."

A row of gunshots rang out, and several of the Overseers who had turned to run were put down.

Hart, who was also about to run, stopped suddenly, looked at the soldiers who were blocking his way, turned his head to look at the flintlock gunner with the muzzle pointed at him, reluctantly dropped the knife in his hand, and raised his hand.

"Fuck you!"

The battalion commander, who rushed to the front line, went up and kicked him to the ground.

And then it was an old punch.

"Fuck you're being blind there, and I'm all hearing your chirping down there, disgusting like a fucking fly."

"Battalion commander, this is a big official, don't kill him."

"The emperor and His Royal Highness the grandson are still waiting for questioning, and it will be troublesome if they are killed!"

Several squad leaders hurriedly rushed forward and pulled the angry battalion commander aside.

They understood that the battalion commander was so angry because of this night battle, which caused his men to lose many brothers.

"Fuck, what kind of fucking battle is this, launching an attack in the middle of the night, standing a few steps away and standing a few steps away, I can't see clearly, what kind of battle is this, it's really a fucking blind command, you want to make meritorious service in front of the emperor, you fucking come down and fight, don't let Lao Tzu's brother take his life."

The battalion commander who was pulled away shook off the pulling captain and pointed in the direction of the fleet and cursed.

Several captains around him did not say a word, and ordered the soldiers to gather the prisoners, and be vigilant around and wait for follow-up reinforcements to come and continue to advance.

Pointing at the battalion commander who had been scolding the fleet for a long time, he angrily threw his helmet on the ground, "Send a signal to those masters on the ship and tell them that they can come over to receive their battle merits!" And move the bodies of the brothers a little farther away, so as not to obstruct the eyes of the two masters. ”

"!"

The battalion commander, who became more and more depressed the more he talked, kicked Hart again.

Hart didn't dare to say anything, holding his head and pouting his ass, letting the other party kick and beat.

Soon the ship received a fire signal from the shore.

Ma Xun smiled slightly, looked at Han Fei next to him and said with a smile.

"The beachhead has been taken, let the big ship come over and prepare for a full-scale attack!"

Han Fei nodded, and ordered the troop carrier to get closer, put all the soldiers down, and fully occupy Jaffna.

At the same time, this situation was also reported to the main fleet.

"Grandpa, they have taken the dock, we can prepare to disembark, you can rest and wash up when you get to the shore!"

Zhu Zhangui, who received Han Fei's report, talked to the old man.

The old man nodded, tightened his cloak, and waved his hand for the little snot to prepare.

Later, after asking Xia Yuanji, Yang Pu, and Zhang Fu to prepare, they explained to Zhu Zhangui seriously.

"These two people have strong meritorious intentions and cannot be reused!"

After the people around him left, the old man nodded with a serious expression, the direction of the team.

"I can guess that the casualties tonight are definitely not small, and the starting point of the two is good, but in order to please the king, regardless of the death of the soldiers, it is a taboo in the army to put their own side at a disadvantage."

"Once or twice, it can be suppressed, but once there are too many times, the officers below and the soldiers below will complain in their hearts."

"This is your person, it's inconvenient for me to interfere more, you look at the arrangement, in the future, this kind of thing of fighting alone, don't arrange it for the two of them, otherwise once the enemy understands their weaknesses and uses a little trickery, the two of them will be finished."

"It doesn't matter if they die, it's a sin to involve their soldiers and generals to die with them."

"I just looked at the wrong person back then, which caused the defeat of the first Northern Expedition."

"As a general, you can't be greedy for merit, everything is based on stability, and you must take care of the overall situation, this is the first criterion for generals, and the two of them obviously didn't consider this aspect!"

Zhu Zhangui listened carefully to the old man's teachings.

Zhu Zhangui never felt that he was a military genius, and his victories in so many wars were completely crushed by equipment and his familiarity with history.

If you want to talk about real military strategy, compared with the old man, a veteran who has fought all his life, it is more than 108,000 miles worse.

In fact, at first, he also felt that it was a little inappropriate to attack at night, although his soldiers had been supplemented with nutrition for two years, and the night blindness had been reduced by the medical officer's treatment.

But it was the first time for the Ming Navy to cross the sea at night to fight.

Although it was inappropriate, in Zhu Zhangui's mind, it would definitely be inevitable after the night battle.

Rather than suffer losses in the future, it is better to let the soldiers sum up their experience when they have an advantage.

No matter how good the discussion is on paper, it is better to have a real fight.

So he didn't give the order to stop the attack.

Soon the battle on the shore stopped, and the main ship, also guided by the guide ship, docked at the pier.

After the old man got off the ship, he met the soldiers who were fighting on the landing.

A loud compliment encouraged them, and they inquired about the condition of the wounded before leaving.

The old man's reception made the soldiers, who were originally a little emotional in their hearts, recover all of a sudden.

One by one, they discussed excitedly, how kind the emperor was just now, and talked to him and so on.

Zhu Zhangui also encouraged the soldiers with a smile, affirmed their achievements, and listened to the soldiers' suggestions.

For example, what difficulties were encountered in launching an attack, and asked what weapons needed to be replenished.

After asking the squad leaders and soldiers one by one, Zhu Zhangui had a general idea in his heart.

"All officers above the battalion level, come with me to a meeting!"

After talking to the soldiers and letting everyone go back to rest, and explaining to the medical officer that the wounded must be rescued, Zhu Zhangui shouted with a cold face and asked all the officers to follow him to the meeting.

The various officers who were originally a little happy to take the position saw that His Royal Highness the Taisun had a bad face, and their hearts suddenly burst out.

"You take the child to rest first, I may have to go back later, don't wait for me!"

After explaining to his wife, Zhu Zhangui strode to the temporary conference room.

In the conference room, the officers were all discussing the battle in a whisper.

Some thought it was a perfect raid.

Others believe that this night battle is a bit too risky.

Han Fei and Ma Xun, who launched the attack this time, were apprehensive.

Since getting off the ship, Zhu Zhangui has not given them a good face, and it is obvious that he is not satisfied with their battle.

"Old Ma, did we go wrong, why is His Highness's face so ugly!"

Glancing at the other generals, Han Fei pulled Ma Xun.

"Maybe my subordinates have suffered too many casualties, which has caused His Highness to be dissatisfied with this!"

Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was his problem.

"How many casualties did you have over there?"

Ma Xun looked at him, sighed, and stretched out three fingers.

"Not counting the wounded, nearly 100 people were killed! More than 200 people were injured, of whom more than 60 were seriously injured. ”

"Hey, that's all."

Hearing such a large casualty figure, Han Fei gasped in shock.

No wonder His Highness's face is so ugly, this is the first time that His Highness's troops have suffered such heavy casualties in a war other than the Northern Expedition.

Half a year ago, when I was fighting Xiaowogua, the one with the highest number of casualties was the battle that launched a strong attack on Kyoto Castle.

In that war, heavy casualties were inevitable.

After all, in siege warfare, it is normal for the besieging side to suffer heavy casualties.

Conquering such an important city, that casualty figure is nothing at all.

Compared with the tens of thousands of casualties in other people's siege activities, the casualties of the Shenji Battalion and the Marine Corps in that war were hundreds of hundreds, which is already considered small.

But today's small landing battle has nearly 300 casualties, which is a bit large.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has arrived!"

Just when the generals were discussing in a whisper and thinking carefully, Zhu Zhangui strode in.

The generals who were discussing in a whisper immediately fell silent, stood up with a brush, and looked at Zhu Zhangui.

Glancing around at everyone, Zhu Zhangui nodded and asked everyone to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Zhu Zhangui glanced at Han Fei and Ma Xun.

"What do you think of this landing battle tonight?"

As soon as Zhu Zhangui spoke, Han Fei and Ma Xun's hearts sank.

"Your Highness, I think tonight's landing battle is a bit risky."

A Marine Corps general hesitated and stood up.

"We have an advantage in the number of weapons, and we can easily win the victory, so why do we have to risk the lives of the soldiers to attack at night."

"Even though there were soldiers in the vanguard who were familiar with the sea and led the way, they could safely reach the docks. But this is not our home field, and the general will be a little confused why we should give up our advantages and attack the enemy with our weaknesses. ”

"Also, the Admiral asked the attacking soldiers, and they came up with a lot of ideas."

"Our Marine Corps, each squad is equipped with swords, shields, spears, long and short weapons, and long-range weapons also have flintlock guns."

"But we're a naval force, we often fight on the sea, we have to face storms and bad weather at any time, and although the flintlock pistol is a good and excellent weapon, it is really easy for our navy to go wrong."

"For example, when the weather is wet, the gunpowder will get wet."

"And in a landing battle like the one launched tonight, it is impossible for our ships to sail directly to the shore, and the soldiers will definitely have to wade through the water."

"Cold weapons, swords, shields, spears and the like are fine, but if the flintlock pistol is slightly wet, this thing will become a burning stick, and the soldiers can only load bayonets to stab people."

"So the idea of the last general is to do away with some flintlock pistols and replace them with bows and arrows, preferably crossbows!"

Zhu Zhangui listened carefully and wrote down the officer's words one by one in his notebook.

When the officer had finished speaking, the other officers stepped forward in turn to give their thoughts on the battle tonight.

Almost all the generals felt that tonight's operation was wrong.

You obviously have a great advantage, why do you have to choose to attack at night?

Although they did not mention the question of command in their words, every word showed that the guy who planned to launch a landing operation at night was a fool.

Listening to the words of their colleagues, Han Fei and Ma Xun almost lowered their heads to the crotch of their pants.

After everyone finished speaking, Zhu Zhangui looked at the commander of the Marine Corps.

"Wang Xuan, didn't you encounter these problems when you were training, why haven't I received your report here!"

The Marine Corps commander bowed his head.

Although training is close to actual combat, it is training after all.

The soldiers understood that they could not die, so they were prepared for the landing operation.

There were no accidents during the exercise on weekdays, and with the addition of the Marine Corps, it was also the first time in history that the unit appeared.

Since there was no precedent, all the officers crossed the river by feeling the stones.

The exercises on weekdays are decent, and the wars in the past are all crushed, even if some minor problems are exposed, they are ignored by many people.

After the initial landfall in Kyoto Bay, there were some flintlock gunners who reflected some of this problem.

But at that time, the war was urgent, and Wang Xuan left this matter behind.

Later, when the war ended and he won a great victory, he had forgotten about it for a long time.

Until this night battle, all the problems broke out at once.

"Peng!"

Zhu Zhangui slapped the table heavily, and the admirals collectively shuddered.

"Who are you trying to get into the lake, and the people sent their brothers and husbands to the army, is that what you want to do in the lake!"

"Do you know that one of your omissions and a mistake will require countless soldiers to fill it with their lives!"

Zhu Zhangui slapped a piece of paper in his hand on the table.

"A small battle, more than 300 casualties, nearly 100 soldiers lost their lives, 100 families are about to be torn apart and fall into grief, do you know it, you are committing a crime."

Looking at the generals with their heads down, Zhu Zhangui gasped heavily.

"In the past, we were short of manpower, but I can still watch you one by one. Now that there are more teams, I can't see it, thinking that you have followed me for so many years, and you should have learned something, but what about you, just use these things to get me! ”

"Do you think that if you defeat a group of grassland barbarians and a group of small gourds, you will be invincible in the world. I feel that there is no one in the world who is your opponent, so I began to float, I didn't take it seriously, and I began to enjoy the life of the official master! ”

"I tell you, you're dreaming!"

"Such an official master, I Zhu Zhangui can't look down on it, and I don't want to see it!"

"This is the army, not a place for you to fucking enjoy life, if you want to enjoy it, go home and find your mother-in-law, I can't afford to serve such an uncle here."

After coldly looking at the generals with their heads bowed, Zhu Zhangui knocked heavily on the table with his hands.

"I have said more than once that as a general, in addition to victory, you must also protect your brothers."

"Although they are soldiers, their official positions are not as high as yours, but they are the basis for your promotion and wealth, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, I can give it to you, I can only allow you to achieve the greatest victory with the least sacrifice, and I can also give you money if you can be promoted."

"But you can't let your brothers take their lives to fill in because of sycophants!"

Zhu Zhangui yelled angrily, echoing back and forth in the room.

The officers of the Marine Corps and the Shenji Battalion Navy lowered their heads one by one and listened to Zhu Zhangui's reprimand.

The other generals who stood behind to support, such as the generals of the 5th Army Battalion and the 3,000th Battalion, also fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhu Zhangui put away the list of the dead and the opinion report in his hand, and said to all the generals: "After you go back, think about it, write down your thoughts on tonight's battle, and any suggestions for improvement, and hand it in tomorrow." ”

"Don't think about the lake to get me, if anyone dares to write something and hand it in, and plan to get the lake over, then you should be ready to get out!"

Then he turned his head to look at Han Fei and Ma Xun, "You two are temporarily relieved of their duties, and their deputies will take over, go back and think about what you did wrong, if you don't understand, go back to Daming to see the warehouse!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Zhangui glanced at everyone again, turned around and strode away.

After Zhu Zhangui left, the generals present, you look at me, I look at you, and with Jiang Huai's wave, they also left the temporary conference room.

After Zhu Zhangui's officers left, Zhang Fu, who came to observe, touched his chin, looked at the lively five military camps and three thousand battalions, as well as the generals of the 50,000 reserve soldiers temporarily under his control, and said: "You can also go back and write it, hand it over to me tomorrow, and I will hand it to the emperor!" ”

"(⊙o⊙) What?"

Hearing Zhang Fu's words, the generals' eyes widened in surprise one by one.

This Nima is really a fire at the city gate, and it affects the fish in the pond.

The most annoying thing for them is to write these cantatas, and they used to let them write, and they handed it in after confirming it.

The above also understood this and didn't say anything.

But I didn't expect to come over for a meeting today, and I was going to write a post-war feeling, and looking at Zhang Fu's meaning, I planned to let them write it in person.

"Ah what, not only do you write, but I also have to write, if anyone doesn't write well, there are still a few people to feed the pigs on the logistics side, you will go by yourself when the time comes!"

"Alas!"

Everyone instantly lamented.

ps: Yesterday I was asked by the editor to talk, asking me not to write too bloody, too brutal, and depressed in my heart for a long time, so I will simply write some content today, let me adjust my mentality.
