Chapter 158: Going ashore
"Bang bang bang!"
Violent gunfire resounded in the harbor of Shengsi Island.
This makes the gunshots that keep vibrating the eardrums of the first team are very pleasant to the ears of the first team.
But when the Japanese on the opposite side heard it, it was the whispering of death, which made the Japanese who were still thinking of charging all stop.
"Rush, rush!"
Even though some people were still agitating behind them, the pirates no longer charged forward, but stopped moving forward and began to wait and see.
At a distance of thirty paces, the Japanese can clearly see each other's every move.
I saw a strange suit of armor on the other side, this armor style, which they had never seen before.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, they had never seen such a style of armor.
But the armor didn't matter, what scared them the most was the black hole in the hands of these people.
I saw that the opponent's array had a total of four columns, and after the front column finished shooting, it quickly ran to the rear, and began to change the gunpowder with a swagger on the sea.
The group that replaced them raised their guns high and aimed them straight at them.
At this time, even fools know that those terrible gunshots are about to sound again.
"Run!!"
I don't know who suddenly shouted in the crowd, and all the Japanese turned around and ran, leaving only a dozen real Japanese who could not understand Chinese.
And when these true wives were at a loss, the murmur of the god of death sounded again.
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunfire came as expected, and some of the would-be would-be ones who couldn't escape were knocked to the ground, while those who were standing in place were directly beaten into a sieve, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
I saw more than a thousand would-be robbers, like frightened ducks, running away in all directions.
Lan Yu directly ordered the whole army to assault, and he himself directly led his personal guards to kill the largest number of Japanese robbers.
After hearing Lan Yu's order, the first team fired freely, and then stuffed the white dangling bayonet on their waists directly into the buckle at the muzzle.
This is what Li Jin specially requested when he built the firecracker, the purpose was to make the firecracker soldiers not helpless when they encountered close combat.
White-knuckle combat is one of the subjects that every firecracker must train.
The first team is the best among them, with a bayonet in hand, it is difficult for three or five people to get close to the body of the first team.
And once before Lan Yu took the lead in the team, he was stunned to overturn more than a dozen members of the first team with a fire bayonet, and Lan Yu's fierceness can be seen.
However, after Li Jin handed over the formation of the Sancai Formation to the first team, Lan Yu became obviously struggling to deal with more than a dozen first players.
The three-talent array is also one of the formations recorded in the actual record of military training, and the mandarin duck formation studied by Qi Dashuai evolved from the three-talent array.
Therefore, the Mandarin Duck Array can quickly integrate and change with the Sancai Array, which is also one of the reasons why the Qi family army under Qi Dashuai is invincible in small-scale battles.
The soldiers under his command are not only skilled, but also able to cooperate with each other, and the three of them form a three-talent formation, taking care of each other, and even worth more than a dozen people.
And once the mandarin duck array is put out, seven or eight people will deal with more than 30 Japanese robbers, which is also a piece of cake.
Of course, today's Li Jin did not train the Mandarin Duck Formation.
On the one hand, the Mandarin Duck Formation is more complicated, and it takes a lot of time to train, and Li Jin's time to go to sea is relatively tight.
On the other hand, in Li Jin's conception, the navy still relies on firearms.
Although it is said that the tactics of the British in the future to line up and shoot them look very funny.
But it was this seemingly comical battle that helped Britain defeat France, Portugal, and Spain, and successfully ascend to the throne of maritime supremacy.
It was on the land of China in later generations that this tactic was used to defeat the Qing government and start a century of humiliation in China.
Therefore, there are no mentally retarded tactics, and the tactics of each era are matched with weapons.
Before the advent of automatic rifles and machine guns, the tactics of using linear arrays and smoothbore guns were able to maximize firepower.
In those days, it was tactics that stood at the top.
Now that Li Jin has introduced the smoothbore gun into the navy in advance, he naturally wants to carry forward this linear array.
At the very least, this firearm coupled with this array would be more than enough to beat all the indigenous people of Earth today.
With the navy's bayonets loaded, a bloody pursuit battle also kicked off in the harbor.
Lan Yu and Zhu Di respectively took their subordinates to chase the rout in all directions, and it seemed that the would-be robbers were vulnerable, everyone was grabbing people's heads, fighting for credit, and a great victory was just around the corner.
But Li Jin, who had not yet disembarked at sea, was pale.
Before Lan Yu disembarked, Li Jin had repeatedly ordered that after defeating the enemy in the port, he must not pursue the enemy.
It is necessary to hold on to the same position and ensure that the follow-up troops can have a good landing beach. This is crucial.
As a result, Lan Yu had just defeated the enemy, and he actually took his explanation as a deaf ear, which made Li Jin very angry.
"My lord, are we going to go ashore now?"
The deputy general next to him saw that Li Jin had been silent, and couldn't help but remind.
Li Jin took the telescope and looked into the depths of the island, as if there was no movement.
But Li Jin still didn't dare to be careless, and ordered:
"Let the fleet spread out and block all the ports on the island."
"Without my orders, any ship that wants to leave the port, all sunk."
There is not only one northern port on Shengsi Island, but also two other ports in the southern and western regions.
Li Jin planned to catch turtles in the urn this time, and he didn't want to let any of them go, so he directly asked the deputy general to lead people to block the port.
He took the remaining 2,000 men and slowly got off the battleship, got on the landing craft, and began to assemble on the opposite bank.
By the time Li Jin landed on the shore of the port, Lan Yu and the pioneers had long since disappeared, and they didn't know where to pursue the enemy.
Li Jin was not in a hurry, and asked people to start unloading the military supplies on the ship and building a defensive position.
Now Li Jin has no idea about the situation inside the island, and Li Jin has no idea where the enemy is or how many Japanese robbers there are.
In this case, Li Jin still decided to be cautious.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was half an hour.
In the past half an hour, Li Jin has been concentrating on building a defensive position, although he is also worried about Lan Yu's safety, but he believes in Lan Yu's ability more.
People who can shine on the Mobei battlefield in the future, and survive the turbulent battlefield at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Jin feels that nothing should happen to Lan Yu.
Not long after the defensive position was completed, Li Jin received a messenger sent by Lan Yu.
However, the messenger's first sentence directly made Li Jin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Report, Lord Hou is besieged by the enemy in the valley to the north, please send troops to rescue him quickly!"
Li Jin was still thinking that although Lan Yu was reckless, there should be no accidents, but Lan Yu's request for help arrived, which really made Li Jin feel speechless for Lan Yu.
Li Jin looked at the navy, which had less than 2,000 people under his command, and frowned slightly.
The navy is where Li Jin's confidence lies, and the fire gun is where the navy's confidence lies.
Firecrackers can only be most effective when they are densely populated, just like the linear tactics of Britain in history, which are invincible.
If the number of people is not enough, it will not be able to form a suppressive firepower effect and let the other party rush in front of him, although the navy also has a certain melee ability, but this kind of thing of taking one's own shortcomings and attacking the other's strengths, Li Jin does not want to do this.
When he was hesitating in his heart, the blue jade soldier in front of him spoke again:
"My lord is already in danger, begging your lord to send troops."
Li Jin was shocked in his heart, Lan Yu, as the Yongchang Hou of the Ming Dynasty, could not die in the hands of the Japanese Invaders, otherwise even if he made meritorious deeds and swept away the Japanese Invaders, he was afraid that he would be impeached in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Jin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered to go north with 1,500 people.
Leave 500 people to guard the military supplies, and wait until Li Jin rescues Lan Yu, and then rendezvous.
