Chapter 50: Destroying the Invaders (Part II)
It turned out that the boats of the two sides had been traded back and forth more than ten times, and at first, except for the boatman in charge of rowing, Isaiah's retinue were all Semu.
At the beginning, the Japanese side was still very vigilant.
But as the number of transactions increased, and as boxes of goods were lifted onto large ships, the vigilance of the Japanese began to decline.
At the last transaction, none of them noticed that one of Isaiah's five attendants had been replaced by Xu Huizu.
When the deal was completed and the boats of the two sides began to separate, Xu Huizu decisively began to move, and although the Japanese side carried swords, they did not have long-range weapons.
Today, the sea breeze is not strong, and the Ming army's bow and crossbow hit rate is surprisingly high, and almost every shot is hit at such a close distance.
In just a few breaths, the Japanese people on the small boat had already fallen one after another, leaving only a few chests full of silk, tea, and porcelain.
At this time, the Japanese people on the big ship also discovered the abnormality.
"Eight grids!" Tojo, the leader, roared angrily.
He finally realized that he had been tricked.
At the same time, the big ship driven by the people in the distance also quickly headed towards them, and the bow of the boat was actually standing densely packed with Mingren, who had obviously just hid in the house, and now rushed out in a hurry, and all of them were armed with bows and crossbows.
Since the distance between the big ships on the two sides is not far, and the ships on the Ming side are downwind, and when Xu Huizu makes a move, they will be activated immediately, and now the distance between the two sides is already within the range of the bow and crossbow.
In order to avoid suspicion of the Japanese people, the merchant ship was not equipped with cannon barrels, but these bows and arrows were all equipped with gunpowder cartridges, and when they were ignited, they "swished" out like raindrops and fired into the three large ships opposite.
Gunpowder technology in the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly, and the power of these rockets was much better than that of the previous dynasties.
These Japanese ships were already very rudimentary, and the rockets fell from the sky, and the cargo ships immediately burst into flames.
The sailors who drove the ship were so busy putting out the fire that they didn't have the heart to drive the boat.
Seeing this, Xu Huizu waved his hand and roared: "The sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty, you have killed the widows!" ”
The Japanese were busy extinguishing the fire, and in the face of the menacing Ming army, they didn't want to fight at all, they just wanted to escape by boat.
"Eight grids, those silks and tea leaves are all finished!" Some of the widows let out a cry of anguish.
It turned out that all the goods they traded, except for the porcelain, which could withstand the flames, were burned beyond recognition.
"Let's split up, and if we can escape, one is one!" Although Tojo was furious, he still retained a shred of sanity.
Now it is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Hongwu period, and the strength of the Ming army's combat power is far from being comparable to the middle and late Ming Dynasty that Wei is erosive.
Although these Japanese were vagrant warriors who were brave and good at fighting, if they came into close contact with the regular Ming army, they would only turn into a one-sided massacre.
At most, these Japanese can only deal with the officials and arrest them quickly.
Although their escape skills are first-rated, they are now at sea, and they have no escape skills and cannot perform them.
……
"Brothers, Xu Commander and the Japanese have already started, let's hurry to help! Beat the drums and go! ”
Ningbo Wei is a very fast Guangzhou ship built by Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and Lu Han, who was standing in front, roared excitedly after seeing the sky flashing with bright fireworks.
As the commander of Ningbo Wei, he is also one of the few people who knows that the crown prince Zhu Biao is here, so how can he not actively perform this time.
"Rush!"
"Kill the Wokos!"
The soldiers on board shouted excitedly.
As he spoke, Lu Han stood on the bow of the boat with a knife in his hand, his eyes like fire.
He looked back from time to time, and the tall and majestic Fu ship was the seat ship of the crown prince Zhu Biao.
The Fu Ship is huge, and it is only suitable for encounters and not for chase battles, and it is only here today to protect the safety of the prince.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Biao could only see a few black spots on the Haiming in the distance, as well as some subtle black smoke.
"It seems that the first step of the plan is to succeed, I hope Lu Han and they can work actively." He came here in person in the hope that these soldiers would be more active in order to take credit.
"Closer!"
Zhu Biao waved his hand, wanting to witness the naval battle of this era, and it was very likely to be a one-sided massacre of the Japanese people, which simply made his blood boil.
"Rush over, rush over, hurry up and catch up with the Japanese boat, the personal soldiers will rush with Lao Tzu, and the archers and artillery men will cover!"
"Remember, greet Lao Tzu on the head, don't let the widow come out and stab Lao Tzu condescendingly!"
The sailor soldiers shouted.
Zhu Biao's expectations were not bad, because of his arrival, these generals were like chicken blood.
"Kill!" These dozens of clippers are charging through the waves and are extremely brave.
As the clippers approached the Japanese ships, countless flying claws were thrown straight up.
Lu Han roared: "Brothers, if you don't destroy the Japanese Kou, you will not pay it back!" ”
"Enemy attack!"
The Japanese people on the boat let out a ghostly cry and then rushed to the side of the pass to cut the rope.
"Shoot!"
The Ming soldiers on the ship took out their guns one after another and shot at the Japanese on the ship.
"Bang bang bang!" Dense gunfire rang out.
Although the ships were bumpy at sea, the fire coverage was dense enough, and many Japanese had already been shot and fell.
On the other side, Xu Huizu also constantly commanded the Ming army's rocket attacks on that luxurious merchant ship.
There were also archers and artillerymen on the ship, who fired at the side of the Japanese people.
In terms of weapons, the Ming army absolutely suppressed these rogue people.
Some of the coastal guards were even more valiant, and they climbed towards the ships of the Japanese with swords on their backs, clutching ropes, and boarded them in a few strikes.
The sound of fighting sounded~
The naval defense officers did not hesitate and directly slashed the Japanese who had just taken on their faces.
Bang bang, whoosh.
Projectiles and arrows stuck to the top of the brains of the charging Ming army and landed on the ships of the Japanese people.
There are also countless flying claws, scrambling to throw them at the Japanese boat.
The officers pulled their necks and shouted, "Brothers, go up, the above speaks, a head is two taels of silver, it's too late to go!" ”
"It's said above, let's grab it after we go up! Kill! ”
More and more soldiers climbed with knives.
It didn't take long for the Ming army to take control of two of the three merchant ships of the Wakos.
"The division of the tiger and wolf, this is the division of the tiger and wolf!"
Zhu Biao looked through the binoculars and nodded with satisfaction.
Soldiers must be excited about fighting, and even enthusiastic, so that the army can win the battle, and cowardice before fighting is a taboo for soldiers.
"Commander Lu, there is a Japanese ship that is very fast, and it seems that it is about to break through the encirclement!" A soldier reported to Lu Han.
Indeed, one of the Japanese ships, which had just turned its bow and sailed downwind under the cover of the other two.
Although there were some places that were ignited by rockets, there was no major problem on the whole, and some Ming soldiers tried to climb the boat, but they were also cut by the Japanese and fell into the sea, and were rescued by their companions.
"Bump into it! Sink the other party! Lu Han gritted his teeth and said firmly, "This official is also going to collide!" ”
