Chapter 743: Annihilation of the Wei Army's Water Division
As soon as the two sides fought, Wu Jun sensed that something was wrong.
Jiangdong is famous for its sailors, and their soldiers are all proficient in water, even if it is a storm or waves, they can walk on the deck.
However, the Marines who rushed up seemed to be better at water warfare than they were!
On the deck, which is not very spacious, these marines, in teams of seven, cooperate well with each other, advance and retreat in a measured manner.
A man at the front of the line holds a sword and shield and acts as a pioneer.
They were followed by two musket-wielding non-commissioned officers who were tasked with blasting through enemy lines.
Two soldiers on the left and right, armed with spears, covered the two wings and did not let the enemy force forward.
Two other sword and shield bearers followed closely behind to avoid a surprise attack from behind.
With their tacit cooperation, the soldiers of Wu were not opponents at all, and they were killed and retreated.
In a few moments, the deck was captured by the Marines.
They began to press the Wu army towards the cabin, and it seemed that it would not be long before the ship would be occupied by the Wei army!
A similar situation happened with several other fighting ships!
Ling Tong, who was watching the battle in the rear, could no longer remain calm when he saw such a situation!
If you continue to fight like this, let alone the warships, I am afraid that the Jiangdong soldiers will also lose everything!
"Retreat! Fall back! ”
Ling Tong roared hoarsely.
The herald on the side hurriedly passed the order down.
After a while, the drums of war, which represented the retreat, resounded on the sea.
The Wu soldiers who received the news were all relieved, and hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and tried to evacuate.
However, the performance of the Wei army's naval division warships was far above that of the Wu army.
No matter how they escaped, the Lion and Tiger warships of the Wei army bit behind them.
At the same time, the Leopard-class warship was also full of Wei soldiers, and it was speeding towards the coast!
Yang Ling has such a big appetite that he wants to eat them all!
Ling Tong's heart sank, and he didn't care about waiting for his warships to retreat, so he immediately ordered to return to the port.
In the vicinity of the port, the Wu army arranged dozens of catapults.
As long as the Wei army's Leopard-class warships dared to approach, the catapults would be in full swing.
Coupled with the soldiers on the shore, Ling Tong was confident that he could suppress the enemy army!
Seeing this, those Leopard-class warships did not rush ashore, but stood by for the time being.
On the other side of the sea.
With its sophisticated warships, the Wei army almost wiped out the Wu army's warships like a whirlwind of the clouds.
Only a dozen ships were chatted, and they fled into the port in a hurry.
Looking at the Wu Junshui division who was hiding in the port and didn't dare to come out, Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh,
"Isn't this Ling Tong confused, isn't he killing himself?"
"Who's to say it isn't?"
Gan Ning waved his hand and ordered the Lion-class warship to surround it.
Outside the harbor of the Wu army, all the Lion-class warships fanned out and surrounded the harbor.
All the guns on the battleship were aimed at the Wu warships in the harbor, as well as various fortifications on the coast!
Oops!
Ling Tong's face turned pale with fright, and only then did he react, he had made a faint move!
He didn't dare to stay too long on the ship, so he jumped out of the ship, and rode to the rear!
As the main general, Ling Tong was the first to escape!
The rest of the Wu soldiers and soldiers also fled frantically to the rear!
Only the Japanese laborers who had been drafted to work as coolies, who did not know what had happened, stood stupidly where they were.
The warships of the Wei army on the sea, after they were ready, roared towards the port!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
With the roar of artillery, the Wu warships parked in the harbor were like targets, being torn apart, sawdust flying wildly, and then began to sink slowly!
Those soldiers who didn't have time to escape were all buried in the sea with the warship!
Without even a cup of tea, all the warships of the Wu army ceased to exist!
There are only wooden planks and other debris floating on the surface of the sea, proving that they once existed!
After clearing the obstacles, the Leopard-class warships that had been waiting for a long time rushed to the port.
They landed ashore, quickly set up fortifications on the beachhead, and waited for the arrival of the army in the rear!
When the only dragon-class warship in the fleet, that is, Yang Ling's ship, slowly docked on the shore, Yang Ling took a group of generals and set foot on Wa Island.
Looking at the buildings with a strong Japanese style and looking barbaric and backward, Yang Ling was in a happy mood for a while.
Speaking of which, whether it was in the past life or in this life, he was the first person to lead troops to the island.
If there is a record in later generations, he must be regarded as a national hero!
"Teacher Qiyu, Sergeant Wu has withdrawn from the distance, should we send someone to pursue him?"
Jiang Wei stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
He, Deng Ai, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and others, with men and horses, with the help of Leopard-class warships, went ashore first.
It's a pity that Ling Tong ran too fast and couldn't leave them behind.
"Don't worry, let's stay here now and send scouts to find out what's going on."
Yang Ling commanded.
The place where they landed now should belong to the island of Kyushu in the future.
Regarding the situation on the island, Wei Jun can be described as a blind eye.
In case Ling Tong set up an ambush and rashly pursued it, it would only add unnecessary casualties.
Today's naval division that completely annihilated the Wu army has achieved brilliant results.
"With such a big victory today, why don't the eldest brother chant a poem and write a poem?"
Dian Wei on the side suddenly smiled and said.
"Yes, speaking of which, but it's been a long time since I've heard the teacher compose poetry!"
"If you can hear His Highness's poems today, even if there is no reward, it is worth it!"
Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others also followed suit.
They coaxed Yang Ling like this, but they stumped Yang Ling.
My past works are all copied from ...... Well, borrow posterity.
How can the business of a scholar be called stealing?
Yang Ling touched his chin and thought for a moment, but his eyes lit up.
He put his hands behind his back and shook his head,
"Raise the Han flag at the top of Mt. Fuji, and get drunk under the cherry blossom trees."
"Stay until the Han flag is all over the world, and the horse will step on Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms!"
When everyone listened, they looked at each other.
Compared with Yang Ling's past poems, the level of this poem is really a little low.
But Yang Ling didn't think so, but left laughing!
How do they know the story behind this poem?
While the Wei army began to be busy setting up camp, on the hillside not far from the port, Himiko's younger brother Kameda Taro, as well as seven or eight Japanese people, all had frightened faces, and they were trembling!
On the orders of Himiko, Taro Kameda was in charge of investigating the situation in the rear of the Wu army.
They followed the whereabouts of Wu Jun and came all the way to the port.
As a result, it was witnessed that the battle between Wei and Wu was epic!
Kameda Taro originally thought that Sergeant Wu was already invincible in the world.
But I didn't expect that these troops with the Wei character battle flag were even more brave than the Wu army!
