Chapter 185: Attacking the East and the West, Taking Advantage of the Fire to Rob
Inoue Ichiro stood next to Hiroki Kato, watching the Japanese climb towards the boat with a fire hammer on his head, and he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
At the beginning, his 30,000-strong army surrounded the Ming army, which was less than 1,000, and he fought for a long time before he used his lives to pile up those Ming troops to death.
At that time, it was still in the open terrain, and if those Ming troops were allowed to occupy the dangerous points, just like now, they would attack themselves condescendingly, but they were afraid that they would not know how many people would have to die before they could take down so many thousand people.
Now that Kato Hiroki is attacking the Ming army that occupies a favorable position so openly, Inoue Ichiro feels that Kato Hiroki is no different from looking for death.
If Inoue Ichiro thought that Hiroki Kato still had some strategy, he knew that he would make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and launch a surprise attack at night.
Even Inoue Ichiro still has some expectations for Kato Hiroki, thinking that Kato Hiroki may really be able to defeat the Ming army and be ashamed of himself.
But seeing Hiroki Kato acting so recklessly, Inoue Ichiro was completely disappointed.
Climbing on a giant ship like this to defeat the Ming army is simply a fool's dream, the Ming army's guns are so powerful, Inoue Ichiro still vividly remembers, and he is terrified.
Once that kind of firearm is launched, it seems that there is no end, and this kind of refueling tactic will only end up in a dead end.
Inoue Ichiro thought that he was now a person who was in the same boat as Kato Hiroki after all, and couldn't help but persuade out loud:
"Kato-kun, it's not a way to go on like this."
"The strength of the Ming army's firearms is beyond your imagination, if you continue to charge like this, you will only suffer more casualties."
"Let's withdraw..."
Before Inoue Ichiro's words fell, he was interrupted by Hiroki Kato, who suddenly turned his head to glare at him.
I saw that the current Kato Hiroki was like a gambler, with red eyes, protruding eyes, and green tendons, glaring at Inoue Ichiro viciously.
"What did you say?"
Kato Hiroki gritted his teeth and spit out a cold voice word by word, and the sword in his waist was slowly pulled out by him.
If you don't agree with each other, you want to let Inoue's blood be splashed on the spot.
Hiroki Kato's henchmen next to him also slowly approached Ichiro Inoino, looking like he was going to attack Ichiro Inoino.
Inoue Ichiro was shocked, and wanted to persuade Kato Hiroki to stay away for the time being, after all, it was too stupid to send him to death one after another.
But seeing Hiroki Kato like this, Inoue Ichiro knew that if he said the second half of the sentence, he would definitely die.
So, Inoue Ichiro hurriedly changed his words and said:
"We can change the way we attack."
"Isn't there a lot of oil on our warship?"
"You can dip the fire oil on the arrows and shoot them on the sails of the Ming army, and when the Ming army goes to save the sails, we will take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack."
"In this way, you will be able to board the Ming warship and leave no piece of armor left behind the Ming army."
Kato Hiroki's eyes lit up, he put the knife back into the sheath, patted Inoue Ichiro's shoulder heavily, and said:
"Inoue-kun, your great cunning."
Subsequently, Hiroki Kato asked the two guards to look at Inoe Ichiro, and he personally ordered someone to bring the oil over, intending to burn the battleship in front of him.
Kato Hiroki's side is not going well, but the Japanese in other directions have begun to gradually climb onto the deck of the Ming warship.
In particular, the Ming warships on the periphery were the first targets of the Japanese because they were closest to the Japanese invaders.
Often, the Ming troops of these warships had just dressed up, and before they even stepped onto the deck, the Japanese had already climbed onto the warship through the hook.
The two sides did not talk nonsense, and directly faced each other and started a white-knuckle battle.
Although the Ming army had not yet been fully assembled at this time, the number of Japanese pirates on the deck of the battleship was not large.
Without waiting for all the people below to board the deck, only a few dozen people launched an attack on the Ming army, which was very arrogant and obedient.
In their opinion, these Ming troops are soft-footed shrimp, where are the opponents of their bandits.
After all, as the vanguard of the Japanese Invaders, they are often the most fierce and bloodthirsty existences among the Japanese Invaders.
These people didn't look down on the Ming army, so they rushed up directly with a scream.
But as soon as they fought, they were instantly stunned by the Ming army.
This time, it was not his Yiwu soldiers who accompanied Li to the sea, but the 20,000 Beijing battalion soldiers brought out by Xu Da.
The 20,000 soldiers were originally the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, and they had a deep understanding of cold weapon combat, and killing people was like chopping melons and vegetables.
Although they followed Li Jin to learn firearms, they did not abandon cold weapons, but because they trained with Li Jin, their killing skills became more unpretentious.
Originally, they only knew that cutting the neck was the most deadly, but after learning the human body structure with Li Jin, they knew where the assassination was equally deadly.
This greatly improved the killing efficiency of these people, making their already murderous soldiers more efficient.
And the knowledge they have learned, the first time they have applied it, they have used it on these widows, I wonder if these widows are lucky or unlucky?
The yelling and screaming Ming army rushed towards it, hoping to scare the Ming army.
They used this tactic to defeat many Ming guards.
Before the guards fought, they were already frightened when they shouted so wildly, which became a common tactic of the Japanese robbers.
Before fighting, you have to make a roar to threaten the enemy.
But this time, it was clear that they had hit a hard stubble.
The Ming army in front of them was not moved at all, but just looked at these widows with indifferent eyes.
There was neither fear nor mockery, and he calmly looked at the rushing Japanese as if he were looking at a group of dead people.
By the time the Japanese realized that something was wrong, the Ming army in front of them had already indifferently waved their weapons.
This group of Ming soldiers and the Yiwu soldiers trained by Li Jin are still a little different in weapons.
Because these Ming troops have been fighting against the enemy for many years, they have developed the habit of using cold weapons, so in addition to their own firearms, they often have their own special cold weapons.
Some have broadswords, some have spears, some have axes, sledgehammers, and so on.
But this does not affect the combat power of these people, when they use cold weapons to kill, the evil aura emitted from their bodies is much more than that of the Japanese Kou.
When these would-be pirates boarded the Ming warships, the fate of these would-be pirates was already doomed.
They are already evil wolves themselves, and they can easily tear the Ming army apart.
But when the Ming army showed its fangs, the identity was reversed, and at this time the Japanese found out that they were the poor Mianyang.
Massacre, a bloody massacre.
More than a dozen Ming soldiers who walked on the deck faced more than 30 bandits who had accumulated years, and in an instant, the bandits were killed, but the Ming army was not damaged at all.
When some bandits saw this scene, they were so frightened that they turned around and wanted to flee back, but unfortunately the retreat route had been blocked by the rushing Japanese robbers, and the bandits could only jump into the sea to escape.
As time progressed, more and more Ming troops stepped out of the deck and began to participate in the battle against the Japanese invaders, and the advantage of the Ming army on the field began to expand.
Kato Hiroki didn't care about others at this time, his eyes were only on the battleship in front of him.
He only wanted to take the ship and use it to fulfill his ambition to dominate the seas.
The oil was quickly brought up, and Hiroki Kato couldn't wait to release the arrows and carry out Inoue's plan.
The henchman next to him stood up to stop Kato Hiroki, saying that there were brothers above who were trying to climb, and if he rashly released the arrow, he would probably hurt his own people.
"Bang bang bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, several gunshots rang out from above, killing several of the climbing pirates again.
Hiroki Kato heard the gunfire that annoyed him, and he couldn't care about the brothers above anymore, so he directly ordered to start firing arrows.
Rockets shot everywhere, and the giant ship, which was calm just now, instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The sails were originally tarpaulin, and with the blessing of fire oil, a fire was immediately ignited, and the pillar of fire, which was more than ten meters high, lit up half of the sky.
"Walk the water, walk the water!!"
A frightened shout sounded from the giant ship, and the corners of Kato Hiroki's mouth curled up with a hideous smile, and he ordered again:
"Turn to their side and board the ship!"
Take advantage of the fire to rob and attack the west, this time Kato Hiroki is determined to win!
