Chapter 404: The Battle of Moon Harbor
I saw that on the land of the moon harbor like a crescent moon, a lot of black wolf smoke suddenly rose.
A large number of Ming troops in red and green robes appeared, and camouflages such as plants and trees were still hung on their robes.
They were in ambush just now!
What's even more terrifying is that these Ming troops lifted off a large number of camouflaged bamboo branches and leaked black cannons.
The muzzles of the cannons had already been aimed at the position of the ships in advance, and they could fire their guns at the first order.
The sound of the war drums of "Dongdong" gradually accelerated from dull and slow, and suddenly the rumbling war drums sounded intensively.
When the drums were dense and uninterrupted, the muzzles of the black cannons in the telescope spewed out white eyes, and the harbor in the field of vision was white.
"Boom, boom!"
After a few breaths, the sound of dense cannons like summer thunder came into my ears, and even the Dutch people who had been using ship cannons for decades had never heard such a dense cannon.
"Those widows are finished......
"At a cursory glance, there are at least 100 sub-mother cannons, and 200 various Ming firearms."
They could only see the approximate situation, but of course they couldn't imagine that the entire Fujian Sancheng firearms would have been transferred to Yuegang and prepared.
There are more than 100 sub-mother cannons, 500 tiger squat cannons, bowl mouth cannons, magic machine arrows, flying fire crows, and general cannons.
The rumbling cannon sounded several times more than the "Huh! Huh! Oh!" The cheers blew up the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese army of the shogunate was well equipped, with 4,000 iron cannons for 20,000 men, and some of the Japanese soldiers immediately fired back.
But the iron cannon in the mouth of the Wa State is what the Ming Dynasty said. The fire gun that fights the birds, and dares to compete with the rumbling cannon group?
Even if the artillery is black powder, the power of the grenade is hundreds of times that of the same black powder.
Although the Japanese soldiers fought back, the effect was negligible.
The ships were also equipped with artillery, and most of these cannons were wooden cannons, which were about as powerful as the weakest bowl cannons of the Ming army.
In a hurry, I didn't even know where the meow was, and there were countless gunpowder smoke obscuring my vision, and the cannon didn't hit anyone at all in a hurry.
On the contrary, if the Ataka ship has to be hit by a few shots, it will be difficult to maintain balance.
The main Ataku ship in the Wa Kingdom is actually a slightly upgraded version of the building ship. In essence, it is the level from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Sui and Tang Dynasties, and compared with the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, it is also stronger in watertight cabins and navigation performance.
[In view of the general environment,
This level of more than 1,000 years ago, not to mention compared with the West or the Ming Dynasty, North Korea's shipbuilding technology is above it.
The strength of the structure is very limited, and as long as it collides with Fukufune, Canton, and Turtle Boats, it will fall apart and shatter.
Therefore, after taking one shot, the Ataka ship shattered a large number of structures, and after two shots, the ship began to tilt and lose its balance.
If you lose your balance, you will not be able to fight back, and if you hit the third shot, the whole ship will be shattered and sunk.
No matter how reckless the soldiers are, they know that they will never be able to beat them, "Hurry up and find a sampan and row a boat to escape."
The sampan was not enough for so many people to sit on, so they simply threw away their armor and jumped into the sea to swim.
Fortunately, there are many Japanese people along the coast, and most of the people who crossed the sea this time will swim out of the ambush range of Yuegang first.
So the harbor was like dumplings, full of Japanese people swimming there, so many people were so dense that the boats were not easy to pass.
There are people who are rowing boats with sampans to escape for their lives, wielding oar weapons, like whack-a-moles, beating the heads of pickpockets and people who stand in the way.
The Japanese were very terrible, killing their own people without mercy, and some even took out their katana and slashed wildly at the side of the ship.
This scene is extremely terrifying, but it extremely reveals the brutal killing nature of the samurai of the Japanese Kingdom, and they turn into wild beasts in a rage, and they roar and kill.
After a while, the sea inside the Moon Harbor was dyed red, and the sampans stained with the blood of their own people rushed out one by one.
Putmans and Vanderwiel led 17 warships, which were originally divided into two, intending to enter the moon harbor in half
, use the Hongyi cannon-level naval guns to suppress all kinds of small artillery of the Ming army.
They were very confident, because those dense artillery groups of the Ming army, except for dozens of heavier guns of thousands of pounds, could not blow up the Galen battleship.
As long as the heavy artillery of the battleship sounded, the Ming army was guaranteed to be deflated, but as soon as the 8 battleships of the Netherlands were about to enter the Moon Harbor, they were shocked by the oncoming sea of blood and wild beasts.
The sea was stained red, and there was floating clothing and severed limbs.
Behind the blood-colored sampan, there were thousands of Japanese soldiers who were swimming out.
The huge Galen battleship in the Netherlands had no room to get in.
Van der Meer was ruthless, when the pirates had killed thousands of people for so many years, they simply wanted to sail and kill these Japanese people, and enter the harbor to fight the Ming army.
Eight battleships and 200 guns are all heavy artillery, which can definitely turn the tide of the war.
But outside, Putmans used the flag to tell him to step down, and there was no need to fight this battle.
The Japanese soldiers are killing their own people with their own people, and the plan to land and occupy Yuegang is bankrupt, so why waste ships and shells in vain?
The Dutch finally set off a cannon demonstration outside Moon Harbor and then turned their sails and retreated.
Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian guarding in Yuegang, breathed a sigh of relief, and according to Wang Hongyu's suggestion, when the Dutch people came in, everyone had to retreat first to lure the enemy to land and ambush.
It's good that I haven't reached this step now, and I don't have to save the gossip and gossip, saying that he doesn't dare to stick to it and flee from the wind.
This battle to defend the moon port was won in the best situation.
The Japanese army suffered heavy losses, losing nearly a white ship, entering the port and landing 10,000 soldiers, only more than 1,000 people still had equipment, and the remaining 3,000 people who escaped by swimming lost their combat strength.
More than 5,000 Japanese soldiers died in the harbor, hacked, killed, knocked to death, rammed to death, and crowded and drowned by their own men, much more than the Ming army shelled.
Even if Sakai Tadashi, the first minister of the Japanese Kingdom, was here, he was completely powerless to return to the sky, and he could not let the Japanese army, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, raise the will to fight again.
The attack on Moon Harbor failed miserably, and now there are two options.
The first is that the Wa Kingdom is more preferred, that is, to retreat to the north of the treasure island, the Ryukyu Islands to rest, and join forces with the soldiers and horses there, and then make arrangements after repairing.
The second is strongly recommended by the Dutch. That is, by surprise, from the south of Yuegang, the raid gradually surpassed the prosperity of Xiamen.
The Japanese people shook their heads when they heard this, and even Sakai Tadashi felt that he had no morale.
Putmans and Van der Meyer mocked them for being weak, incompetent and stupid.
Since there were so many artillery guns in Yuegang and thousands of merchant ships were evacuated, Xiamen must not have so many artillery, and it was possible to meet the merchant ships that had withdrawn there.
This is a good opportunity to salvage the scene and exhaust the Ming army.
Sakai Tadashi said: "In the first battle, you Dutch did not make any efforts, knowing that our Japanese country was good at hand-to-hand muskets, and not good at artillery and naval warfare, but did not provide support, nor did it fight with the Ming army, and now let our tired army be consumed again, what kind of intention is this?"
The Japanese also glared at the Dutch, but they were glared back.
