Chapter 161: Blood Stains the Sea
Condescending.
They were able to catch several thieves in the net, and although the thieves in the net would not be injured, they were bound by the net, and could not walk well, let alone rush the boat.
At such a distance, it is completely at their mercy to kill.
Soon, the jumping pirates climbed back into their boats one by one after extinguishing the flames with the seawater.
All of them were full of excitement, and those Ming people were all fools, and they didn't even shoot them with bows and arrows while they were in the sea.
At the same time, watching these would-be robbers climb onto the boat one by one intact, the faces of all the soldiers and generals on the ship changed slightly, and they were subconsciously dissatisfied with the previous orders of Xu Xiang and others.
However, the movements in the hands are not slow, throwing fishnets for throwing fishnets, and archery for archery.
"Ah~Yaga~"
However, before the soldiers on the boat threw out the fishing nets, they saw that the Japanese who had just climbed onto the boat were directly burning with fire.
Puff, puff......
One by one, the would-be robbers hurriedly jumped into the sea.
And even if some of them jump into the sea, they will catch fire on the top of their heads as soon as they emerge from the water, and they will remain in the water to hold their breath.
But hold your breath in the sea, either sink or be suffocated alive.
As for the widows who couldn't hold back, their heads burned into flames as soon as they emerged.
Soon, the entire sea was filled with piles of burning corpses.
"Qianhu, this?"
All the soldiers on the ship were full of surprise.
Xu Xiang shouted directly: "All the ships and pirates that are ignited by incendiary bombs, the flames on their bodies will not be extinguished, you don't need to be surprised, there are five incendiary bombs left on the ship, and all the incendiary bombs will be thrown towards those Japanese ships that have not yet been ignited." ”
"Whoa!"
A group of soldiers and generals received their orders one after another.
Looking into the distance, the incendiary bomb that was firmly fixed in the box was shining brightly.
Such a good thing, as long as it is blown up on those Japanese ships, those Japanese ships will surely be burned to ashes.
In less than a moment, nets with incendiary bombs were thrown at the Japanese ships that had just squeezed in.
"Boom...... Rumble......"
Soon, nearly 100 Japanese ships were thrown with incendiary bombs.
At the same time, the widows also turned into fire men, and then jumped into the sea one after another like dumplings.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
The nearly 100 Japanese ships surrounding the eight large ships were basically not only blown to pieces, but they were all in flames.
What made the pirates despair the most was that no matter how much they watered their ships, the fires on their ships would not be extinguished.
Moreover, not far from them, there were more than 600 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, armed with bows, arrows and artillery, shooting at them at will.
This will, not to mention rushing up to snatch Daming's ship, most of them were jumped into the sea and did not dare to get on the boat.
In the sea, there are always pirates floating up all the time.
As for the rest, apart from being shot on the way to the charge, they could only hide on the other side of the boat, carrying a pitiful few barrels and watering the cabins.
Seeing this, Xu Xiang and other Ming soldiers were not in a hurry, and directly used the big boat to break open a gap, released ten net shuttle boats and eagle boats, and chased after the few fish that slipped through the net outside.
At the same time, the eight large ships were reversed, and the nearly 100 Japanese ships in the middle were surrounded by fire.
Seeing this scene, the surviving Japanese invaders threw away their weapons and knelt on the boat, wanting to surrender.
As for those who are still in the sea, when they saw this scene, they also wanted to climb on the boat and plead with the Ming soldiers.
However, as soon as they climbed aboard the ship, flames began to light up again.
Frightened, he hurriedly jumped into the sea again.
All the pirates were terrified.
Seeing this, all the soldiers on the ship directly grinned and laughed.
Looking at the burning and thriving Japanese ships, Xu Xiang shouted directly to the left and right: "Come on, put down the ropes, and let those Japanese who want to surrender climb up for us." ”
"Whoa!"
For the capture of the Japanese Kou, any Yan Wangfu soldier will be very active.
Therefore, in less than a moment, there were nearly 100 more Japanese prisoners on the eight large ships.
And the Japanese ships below are gradually burning one after another, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger.
The sea area below the Japanese ships also turned red, and under the light of the fire, it became more and more red.
Originally, there were still some Japanese robbers hiding among those ships, trying to avoid the shooting of Xu Xiang and other Yan Shanwei.
But as the ships were burned to ashes, the would-be robbers were also burned to death and floated to the surface of the sea.
After another half an hour, a general flag came over and reported to Xu Xiangyu: "Qiyu Qianhu, the brothers who went to hunt down the more than ten Japanese ships have also returned.
Fifteen pirates escaped, twelve were burned by the brethren, and three ran away. ”
"Good kill!"
Xu Xiang shouted with joy on his face, and then ordered: "Order the ten net shuttle boats and eagle boats to come in for us, and check them one by one to prevent any widows from hiding among those dead corpses." ”
"Whoa."
Soon, ten shuttle boats and eagle boats began to enter the pile of black and crushed corpses, each soldier carrying a spear or a steel knife, and a corpse mending knife.
However, among those corpses, dozens of pretending to be dead were made up.
It was only when the ten shuttle boats and eagle boats had left that the whole sea began to calm down.
It wasn't until a fish came out of the sea that there was a ripple on the entire sea.
Another quarter of an hour later.
Xu Xiang looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, turning his head and ordering.
"The ships of the pirates have been burned to ashes, all the ships have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and all the ships have returned."
"Whoa!"
……
Three days later.
Xu Xiang strode into the Yanwang Palace.
"Your Highness, this time, the last general led more than 600 soldiers and generals of our Yanshan Guard, annihilated more than 1,100 Japanese ships on the Bohai Sea, burned 85 Japanese ships, captured 130 Japanese Japanese ships, and only ran away with three Japanese ships."
"Good!"
Zhu Di stood up directly excitedly, his face full of joy, "In this battle, how about the casualties of my Yan Shanwei?" ”
Xu Xiang hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, my Yanshan guard only killed four people and injured fifty people. ”
Zhu Di said with a happy face: "This is a great victory, we will definitely reward you and others!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xu Xiang hurriedly saluted.
Zhu Di's expression slowed slightly, and he asked again: "Quickly tell us about the battle." ”
"The last will obey."
Xu Xiang spoke directly with a high spirit, "Back to Your Highness, this battle is all thanks to the merits of the fishing net and the incendiary bomb......
Eight large ships, hundreds of fishing nets and incendiary bombs were thrown over, and at least half of the nearly 100 Japanese ships were set ablaze by incendiary bombs...... Even if they jumped into the sea, they would not survive, they would either suffocate to death in the sea, or they would emerge and be burned to death by the strange fire.
In addition, the fire on the big ship of the Japanese can't be extinguished, and those Japanese can't rush to my Yanwangfu big ship under the shroud of fishing nets.
Even if there were more than 1,300 of them this time, they could only stand on the boat and be burned to death by us, or shot at will......
The last general has killed so many Japanese robbers, but this time it is the most comfortable! ”
As he spoke, Xu Xiang couldn't help but shudder again.
"Your Highness, that Molotov cocktail is really evil."
Zhu Di sighed with emotion: "It's evil, but burning those would-be robbers is a good bomb." ”
Xu Xiang hurriedly followed and said: "What His Highness said is very true, that incendiary bomb is really a battlefield weapon. ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then instructed Ma He on the side: "Go and summon Guo Qing." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ma He replied and walked briskly.
Soon, Guo An hurriedly walked in.
"See Your Highness!"
"Guo Qing, please get up quickly."
Zhu Di said mildly.
When Guo An got up, Zhu Di said directly: "Guo Qing, your incendiary bomb has made a great contribution. ”
Guo An's face was overjoyed, and he asked directly: "Dare to ask Your Highness, how many Japanese soldiers did Xu Qianhu and other soldiers kill this time?" How many casualties did my Yan Shanwei have? ”
Zhu Di said: "Killed more than 1,100 Japanese pirates, burned 85 Japanese ships, ran three ships, and captured 130 Japanese pirates.
In addition, only four people were killed and 50 were injured in Yanshanwei. ”
After speaking, he looked at Guo An with a happy face.
Four for more than 1,200 people, this is a great victory!
It's just that Guo An frowned slightly, "With the combination of incendiary bombs and fishing nets, how can four guards still die?" Wounded fifty people? ”
"Guo Changshi?"
Xu Xiang was stunned.
Zhu Di said with a strange face: "Guo Qing thinks the casualties are high? ”
Guo An replied seriously: "Your Highness, Weichen just thinks that my Yan Wangwei ship is much higher than those Japanese ships, and the soldiers and generals are still wearing armor.
At the same time, there are also sharp weapons such as fishing nets, incendiary bombs, and bowl mouths, which should be slaughtered at will in the sea, how can there be such heavy casualties? ”
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, Guo Changshi, the last general and other soldiers only have more than 600 people, and the Japanese have 1,300 people.
In the big war, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. The four who died were killed by stray arrows, and most of the fifty wounded were also wounded by arrows. ”
"I see."
Guo An sighed slightly, "We thought that if we put on strong armor for the soldiers, and then make incendiary bombs, and match them with fishing nets, there would be no casualties."
Didn't expect ......"
Zhu Di waved his hand, he had seen too much battlefield battles with Xu Xiang and others, just four soldiers died, and it was not worth their discomfort.
"Guo Qing doesn't need to be like this, such casualties are already a big victory."
Guo An apologized to Zhu Di and Xu Xiang, "Please don't mind Xu Qianhu, it's me who made a fuss." ”
Xu Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Guo Changshi's words are serious. ”
Guo An smiled faintly, and then asked again: "Those more than 100 Japanese prisoners, I don't know what Xu Qianhu has interrogated?" ”
Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to stare at Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, Guo Changshi, those Japanese invaders have just come from the Japanese Invaders this year, and after they plundered two counties in the Goryeo Kingdom, they were killed by the Goryeo army, so they fled in a hurry.
So, he followed the sea border of Goryeo and came to the Bohai Sea......
When they saw the fishing boat led by the last general, they had never seen such a tall boat before, so they wanted to snatch the boat......
On the first few occasions, after being killed by the generals, they robbed the ships of some of the common people and merchants of Goryeo.
This time, it's a ...... of the nest."
