Chapter 231: Heavy Armor Tortures Japanese Slaves

At this time, Wu Weizhong had already taken a four-zhang long bird boat, leading more than 200 small bird boats and fortune boats to rush towards Hengdao, and only smiled after hearing the sound of cannons.

Soon, Wu Weizhong led more than 200 warships to spare a large number of Japanese warships gathered outside Hirado Island, and directly approached Putian Port.

At this time, daimyo such as Tachibana Michiyuki of the Otomo family, Naoshige Nabeshima of the Ryuzoji family, and Takanobu and Nao Soyoshi from Matsuura could only watch Wu Weizhong wantonly smash the ordinary Sekibune and Kohaya boats gathered there in Hirado Port and rush towards the Buda area of the Matsuura Peninsula.

Shimazu Yoshihiro also saw this scene when he withdrew in embarrassment, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Originally, Shimazu Yoshihiro planned to make a central breakthrough, and then lead the main force of the Ming army into the narrow whirlpool sea area formed by Hirado Island and the Matsuura Peninsula, control the Ming warships, make it difficult for them to move, and then concentrate more than 3,000 small ships of his own daimyo to fight with the main force of the Ming army.

This is a common tactic used by the Shimazu family.

It is commonly known as fishing wild ambush.

However, Wu Weizhong was not fooled, and directly used the tactic of you fight yours and I fight me, so that the large bird ships that were the main force did not move, lined up in battle lines, and he only took more than 200 small and medium-sized bird boats to bypass the Hirado Strait, where Japanese ships gathered, and landed in Buta.

"The Tang people were not fooled, so they could only abandon the ship and go ashore, and drive it back to the ship while its foothold was not stable!"

Tachibana Michiyuki, a veteran who was guarding the waters on the east side of Hirado Island with a large number of his own ships, spoke first with a calm face.

Just as Toyotomi Hideyoshi described the destruction of the Ming Dynasty as "Tang Cheng", the Japanese would often refer to the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as Tang people.

Because Datang's impression of the Japanese people is too deep.

Naoshige Nabeshima, who is also an important minister of the Daimyo Ryuzoji family, also echoed: "That's right, the water ambush plan against the Tang people has failed, and we must change our strategy as soon as possible!" ”

Takanobu Matsuura also agreed: "Then don't wait for his Shimazu family to come back, let's go now!" ”

Tachibana Michiyuki and Nabeshima Naoshige both nodded.

As a result, these daimyo who did not follow Shimazu Yoshihiro to attack the Ming army began to abandon ships and go ashore, and took their respective soldiers to Buta.

Wu Weizhong has successfully broken through Buta Bay, which has almost no obstacles, and landed here.

But not long after, the sentinel ship reported to Wu Weizhong that a large number of Japanese pirates had crossed the sea from the west.

After hearing this, Wu Weizhong couldn't help but put down "Three Kingdoms" and said with a smile: "It's fast!" ”

Then, Wu Weizhong ordered: "The Korean auxiliaries and sailors will not go ashore first, and the marine infantry and Yiding auxiliaries will all go ashore first, and the positive vans will be transported ashore first, ready to resist the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

As a result, a large number of Jurchen Yiding auxiliaries were under the command of the officers and soldiers, and first pushed the positive vans carrying guns to the shore.

It didn't take long for the riders to form a wall of vans, several layers inside and out, arranged on the snow.

Ming General Chen Ziluan also grabbed the snow on the spot and stuffed it into his mouth, and then watched a large number of Japanese robbers wearing bamboo armor come towards him, but only smiled contemptuously, and then when these Japanese invaders approached, they said: "Put heavy artillery!" ”

After a while, the earth trembled, and then a number of cannonballs were sent into the camp of these Japanese invaders, smashing one of them on the spot, and then rushing up with the minced meat organization unscrupulously, directly plowing a bloody path.

But these would-be robbers did not retreat from this.

Because the Japanese are currently in the Warring States Period, and they have been fighting for many years, most of these Japanese are veterans who have experienced hundreds or dozens of battles, and they are not so afraid of war.

What's more, the leaders of Tachibana Michiyuki and Nabeshima Naoshige are the elite of the Otomo family of Wakuni and the Ryuzoji family.

Therefore, there were still Japanese robbers who rushed to the vicinity of the wall of the Ming army's side van, and also picked up firearms and shot at them.

The Japanese firearms were introduced to Portugal, known as iron cannons, which belonged to heavy arquebuses, and belonged to very advanced firearms in this era, but it was still difficult to give full play to the advantages in front of the Ming army's vehicle formation.

Because the Ming army's vehicle formation was concentrated with a large number of Franc machine guns and iron-core copper-tire cannons, plus there were also a large number of heavy firearms, and there was a car wall as a cover, so these Japanese still had to be beaten.

When the pirates rushed over, the guns in the windows of the vans immediately opened fire, killing a large number of pirates on the ground.

Seeing this, Tachibana Michiyuki had to order the soldiers on his side to suspend the attack.

Nabeshima Naoshige saw that Tachibana Michiyuki stopped the attack, and had to order to stop the attack.

The same is true of Takanobu Matsuura and Nao Muneshinao.

Wu Weizhong saw that the Japanese were afraid of the firearms on his side, so he ordered again: "Open the door, let the main van go out to battle, Yi Ding and the sword and shield soldiers put on armor, use the main van as a cover, rush over and kill them!" ”

After speaking, Wu Weizhong continued to watch his "Three Kingdoms" amid the sound of drums.

At this time, the Ming army really launched a large number of vans and came to the places where Tachibana Daoxue and other Japanese robbers were concentrated.

The main van was invented by Yu Dayou, mainly used for frontal attacks, with gunners or gunners shooting in the van, and also heavy infantry hiding behind the van, ready to form a multi-arm combat unit with the firearms in the van at any time.

The partial van car is Qi Jiguang's masterpiece, mainly for defense, which can directly form a car wall in wartime, and then a large number of gunners and gunners will get on the car and shoot at the enemy through the hole.

Nowadays, the land infantry of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as combining the respective characteristics of these two types of combat vehicles, forming an offensive and defensive combat mode.

Later, it was also learned by Nurhachi and became a common tactic of the Eight Banners heavy armor infantry, and Nurhachi also ordered that no chariot infantry should not attack.

The conversation turned back.

When a large number of vans were pushed by the riders to approach the Wako, the leader of the Wako, Tachibana Michiyuki and others, were unfamiliar with this style of play.

You must know that the Japanese have only just mastered the three-stage attack and know how to form a firearms unit.

But no matter how strange they are, they can only fight hard at this time, after all, they are defending their own territory.

As a result, a large number of Japanese iron cannons began to attack, and the main van covered in cowhide was rattled.

And just as the van approached less than fifty paces of these pirates, suddenly a large number of Yiding, that is, the Jurchens and Saurons, who had been recruited to fight against the Wako because of a few feet of cloth or a few buckets of food, rushed directly towards these Wakos in heavy armor.

At the same time, the sword and shield soldiers in the southern soldiers also rushed forward with armor and shields.

Tachibana Michiyuki and the others suddenly saw many iron men who were much taller than themselves, rushing out from behind the car, and smashing them at random on top of their heads with weapons such as maces and tomahawks.

Li Juexian held a heavy hammer at this time and smashed it at a widow, this widow was also quick to move, and directly pulled out a knife to block, but the knife in his hand was directly broken, and the whole person was also smashed by the hammer in Li Juexian's hand and his head was shattered and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, another widow was about to slash at Li Juexian with a knife, but his knife slashed at Li Juexian's heavy armor, and did not do any damage to him, so he was discovered by Li Juexian, and was also smashed into pulp by Li Juexian's condescending.

The Yiding and sword and shield soldiers who can be selected into the army are originally tall and mighty, not to mention that the Japanese are originally short, and they have no heavy armor to protect themselves, and the Japanese sword is indeed not suitable for close combat, so the Japanese are very disadvantaged in close combat.

The reason why the Japanese people do not have much heavy armor is naturally related to their own limited iron resources, not to mention that they are still in the Warring States Period, and they need to build many weapons, so they can only concentrate iron ore on the construction of weapons, and this has caused that except for a small number of nobles and their personal guards wearing armor, other Japanese people are basically only wearing bamboo armor.

Soon, the Ming army relied on heavy armor to protect the body and strengthen the physique, so these Japanese robbers were defeated and retreated, and the blood flowed like a river.

There were even some Yiding from Liaodong who directly shot the Japanese military attache hiding behind with heavy arrows.

Tachibana Michiyuki was hit by an arrow in the leg at this time, which affected the speed of retreat.

So it didn't take long for Li Jue to catch up here and rush towards him.

The dozen or so warriors around Tachibana Michiyuki tried their best to block it, but to no avail, they could only watch as Li Juexian, a great Ming warrior wearing heavy armor, got closer and closer to the direct head of the family.

Tachibana Michiyuki was a fierce general of the Otomo family during the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, and was also the mainstay of the Otomo family, known as the god of thunder because he used a knife to crack the thunder when he was young, and was famous in the Wa country.

Seeing this, Tachibana Michiyuki had to pull out his so-called Thunder Sword, and rushed towards Li Jue in pain.

Jump!

Suddenly, I saw the knife break and the hammer fall.

Tachibana Michiyuki sat on the ground with the broken knife in his hand, his head covered in blood, and then fell to the ground.
