Chapter 303: The First Loss-Making War
Chapter 303
In all fairness, the first round of naval artillery shelling of the Ning Navy had an extremely poor hit rate, either hitting the shells into the sea and stirring up rows of high water columns, or because at the moment of firing the guns, the waves shook the battleship, the angle of the gun barrel floated up and down, and the shells crossed the positions of the Xiaori samurai and flew hundreds of meters behind them, directly blowing up a loneliness.
Although more than two-thirds of the shells did not command the target, however, it was the remaining shells, which was enough for a small day to drink a cup of tea, over the years, Xiao Ri had dealt with Hongyi ghost animals a lot, and Xiao Ri more or less knew the power of artillery, but the problem was that Hongyi's naval guns were nothing more than solid shot put, although it would be miserable to be hit by this kind of big shot put, but the question was how big the shot put was, if two people stood side by side, one person was blown up, and the other person would definitely not have any problems.
Of course, if you stand in the back, the effect is absolutely sour. However, the naval guns on the battleships of the Ning Navy no longer fire solid lead bullets, and all of them bloom bullets. As the shells fell to the ground, orange-red fireballs immediately rose from the ground, and the shrapnel of the shells and the shock wave of the explosion burst into the brains and shattered bones when they hit the arms.
Whether it is the armor of the small day or the bamboo armor, in front of the cannonball, it is like paper paste, and the small day in the center of the cannonball, the whole body explodes like a firecracker, and the plasma sprays wildly. In the face of the cannonballs falling from the sky, most of the samurai were veterans of the rest of a hundred battles, and they couldn't help but change color in horror when they saw the purgatory-like tragic scene.
In fact, the first round of shelling by the Ning Navy frightened not only Xiao Ri, but also the officers and men of the North Korean troops, who were pale, had difficulty breathing, and even worse, fell to the deck in fright.
The little days in the shelling area were frightened, and countless people shouted at the top of their voices: "Divine punishment, divine punishment from heaven!" ”
The officers and men of the Ning Navy quickly took out the shell casings in the bore, reloaded the shells as quickly as possible, and fired again, this time most of the shells successfully hit the dock.
Cheng Jiayue looked at the little day on the dock of Tsushima Island that was blown out of her soul, and clapped her hands excitedly: "Well fried, well fried......"
After more than a dozen rounds of shelling, Kim ordered the North Korean troops to attack, and the North Korean troops jumped from the battleship into waist-deep water and rushed towards the pier without even waiting for the battleship to get close to the pier.
In the eyes of the officers and men of the North Korean army, after Xiao Ri was bombarded so fiercely by the Ming Dynasty, he must have died almost, and they went up just to harvest people's heads, nothing more.
Kim was also on an assault boat, and he was going to be the first North Korean to set foot on Tsushima.
Cheng Jialong saw Cheng Shijie's brows furrowed, and asked puzzledly: "Dad, are you not optimistic about the attack of the North Koreans?" ”
"Hmm!"
"We fired tens of thousands of shells, and there aren't many people on Tsushima Island, right?"
Cheng Jialong took the binoculars and looked at Tsushima Island, on the wharf, and at the tidal flat position, there was indeed no small day, and the entire tidal flat position was full of mutilated organs of the human body on small days, and naturally there were no living people. However, farther away, about hundreds of small day samurai rushed out with their swords aloft, their faces twisted, and howling.
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "This little day commander, the timing is very accurate, now the North Koreans have just landed on the tidal flat position, we can't open fire, once the artillery is fired, it is easy to cause accidental injury, they can give full play to the advantage of hand-to-hand combat!" ”
Cheng Jialong said: "Then North Korea also has seven or eight times as many samurai as many as a day......
"Fighting a war never depends on numbers!"
Cheng Shijie has seen the Xiaori warriors under Zheng Zhilong, and Ning Haijun has also fought with the Xiaori warriors many times, although the current Japanese are not more tenacious than the little devils during the Anti-Japanese War, but they are much crazier than the Xiaori soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War.
Sure enough, as these hundreds of Xiaori warriors rushed towards the North Korean army, these North Korean troops had not had time to form an effective defensive formation, accompanied by the exclamations of the Korean soldiers, the Xiaori warriors were like tigers entering the flock, and a katana slashed frantically at the North Korean soldiers.
What is surprising is that the North Korean army, which has seven or eight times the superior strength, was actually defeated and retreated by the samurai of Xiaoji, and the North Korean army fell one by one on the tidal flat position like a cut down corn stalk.
Katana swords fly, swing down, armor flattens, blood splashes! The North Korean soldiers were killed so that they turned on their backs, and they fled to the boat crying for their fathers and mothers, and I don't know how many people were squeezed into the sea and drowned alive under the crowding of each other.
Cheng Jialong was dumbfounded: "The warrior is so powerful in a small day? ”
"They're a big fart, and you don't look at what the North Korean army is!"
In the Ming Dynasty, the population of North Korea and Xiaori was about the same, one was 12 million people, the other was 12.27 million (Wanli Korean War period), 140,000 Xiaori army almost leveled Korea, only one month after the war, North Korea had been "three capital lost, eight collapsed", if there was no Ming Dynasty as a backer, the white flag would have been raised and surrendered.
Cheng Shijie looked at the battlefield, some hated that iron could not become steel, the samurai only knew how to fight alone, and they didn't know how to fight in a formation at all, or to fight in a few places, so they all killed the Koreans on their backs: "It's really muddy that can't support the wall!" ”
Cheng Jialong looked in the direction of the rocket artillery and said, "Dad, now order the rocket artillery to bombard and blow them up together!" ”
"Silly boy, that's not how it works!"
Cheng Shijie turned to look at Sun Kewang and said: "Let your people, prepare to attack, you must not let the North Koreans die, otherwise it will be difficult to explain!" ”
North Korea is still the only more obedient younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, and pays tribute to Emperor Chongzhen every year, which is different from the previous dynasties, and is not just sending some garbage in exchange for the real money of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, in recent years, the DPRK's sincerity has been very strong.
Cheng Shijie watched more and more small days join the battle, so he said to Li Zhixiang: "Order all warships to shoot five hundred steps towards the rear of the battlering battlefield!" ”
"Yes!"
With Cheng Shijie's order issued, the rocket artillery that had been prepared for a long time, no, now called the fire dragon out of the water and began to shoot.
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
With a terrifying scream, the air waves rolled, the smoke and flames cut through the air, and a terrifying sea of fire rose in the army of Xiao Ri, who was running towards the tidal flat position, and I don't know how many Xiao Ri soldiers were blown up to the flesh and blood, and even became trapeze.
Suffering from this blow, the reinforcement phalanx of Xiaori inevitably became chaotic, people shouted and neighed, the flag broke, and it was quite unstable.
There was a huge exclamation from the originally chaotic battlefield, and the samurai and the North Korean sailors who were cut to blood all looked at the sky in horror, their faces were colorless in horror, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Even Catherine and Agbe, who were watching the battle from a distance, were so frightened that they almost broke their binoculars and exclaimed, "Oh...... Oh God, how is this possible...... They ......"
Agbe didn't know how to describe his mood in words at this time.
"Is this the fire dragon water we bought?"
"Yes, but no!"
Catherine smiled bitterly: "There is no doubt that the fire dragon they use is more powerful and has a longer range, if we also equip so many fire dragon water, we can definitely sweep the Ottoman Empire's Mediterranean fleet." ”
"Just, will they sell it?"
"It should be, any commodity is a price, as long as the price is given, he will definitely sell it!"
While Catherine was talking to Agbe, hundreds of small boats were lowered from the warships of the Ning navy, and these ships rushed towards the dock like arrows from the string.
The soldiers on the ship were all wearing steel helmets, wearing iron armor, holding array-breaking crossbows, and a horizontal knife at their waists, leading these troops were Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Sun Kewang.
Although the three of them were Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, the problem is that the status of the three people is now very different, at first Cheng Shijie valued Li Dingguo more, and even looked down on Sun Kewang, after all, in history, Sun Kewang took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Li Dingguo persevered to the end.
However, Li Dingguo is too loyal to Zhang Xianzhong and is unwilling to work for Cheng Shijie, of course, Cheng Shijie is not used to Li Dingguo and does not cooperate, so let's go to labor reform like other old thieves in Zhang Xianzhong's old department.
After nearly half a year of re-education through labor, Li Dingguo regretted it, and Liu Wenxiu also regretted it; although he could eat enough food in the re-education camp, the problem was that life was very boring, especially the ideological education had to be carried out every day, that is, he should review it in front of all the re-education through labor prisoners in the re-education camp, and in front of countless re-education through labor prisoners, he must sincerely say: "I am a bastard, what bad things have I done, don't learn from me......
Under this set of ideological education, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were about to be depressed, and when they finally returned to the battlefield, their blood boiled all over their bodies, and they shouted loudly: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! The first level of beheading commuted the sentence for five years, such a good opportunity does not come every day, and if you don't hurry up, the first level will be snatched up by the North Koreans! “
"We waited for half a year to wait for such an opportunity, are you willing to continue to stay in the labor camp as prisoners!?"
"Isn't it fragrant that if you become meritorious and become free, you can have your own property, divide your land and house, and marry a daughter-in-law?"
Under the bewitchment of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Sun Kewang, more than 10,000 prisoners in labor reform had bloodshot eyes in their eyes, screaming, and all their strength to eat milk was exerted, rowing the boats like swordfish.
The ship was still far from the shore, and the labor prisoners couldn't wait, jumped up, and then quickly formed a formation. It wasn't until now that the warriors of Xiaori finally reacted, knowing that they had been fooled, and left the North Korean sailors who were killed by them, screaming for Sun Kewang and others to rush over.
It's just a pity that they found the wrong opponent, although the prisoners are far less trained than the officers and men of the Ning Navy, and they are not as well equipped as them, but the problem is that these prisoners are all ruthless characters who have slept on the corpse mountain and bathed in the blood, they kill people one by one, they are bold, and they take the war as food, except for the iron fist of the Ning Navy, there are really not many things in this world that can make them afraid.
Compared to the iron fist of Ning Hai and the turbulent waves of the sea, the enemy in front of them was too safe for them, and these Northwest Men maintained a terrifying silence, coldly watching the little day warrior who was more than a head shorter than them rush towards him with an exaggerated-looking samurai, and methodically wound the machine and opened the tenon that held the crossbow arrow in the arrow box......
At the sound of an order, thousands of formation-breaking crossbows were raised in unison, aiming at the small day warriors who crashed into them like moths fighting fire!
"Oo......oo
As the Samurai entered the range of the crossbow machine of the Formation Breaking Crossbow, there was a continuous metallic trill, and each sound seemed to knock on everyone's hearts, making their hearts tremble.
A foot-long triangular crossbow bolt shot out, forming a terrifying metal storm that swept across the front line of the Samurai Kohi's attack. After several improvements, the tension of the crossbow was greatly strengthened, reaching an astonishing ninety kilograms, and the samurai of the small day on the front line let out a desperate wail in the metal storm, their armor was ruthlessly torn by the crossbow arrows as waste paper, and the front chest went in and out of the chest, and even through the body, tearing out long blood lines.
After the first row of crossbows was fired, the second row began to fire, while the first row of crossbowmen took a step back and loaded their arrows, and the third row was ready.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xianzhong's command far exceeds that of the Liukou under Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng inherited Gao Yingxiang's legacy, and Zhang Xianzhong can be said to be self-made.
Rows of crossbow arrows whistled in, they had no chance to dodge at all, triangular arrowheads flew towards them at a very high speed, the leather armor and bamboo armor on their bodies were like paper paste in front of such sharp arrows, they were easily torn, and then their muscles and bones were torn.
The terrifying screams from the mouths of the samurai turned into terrible screams in an instant, and the thin bodies of some of the unlucky ones who were shot by several crossbow arrows at the same time flew straight backwards like rag dolls, dripping a rain of blood. The unarmored samurai were even more pitiful, and their entire bodies were pierced by an arrow, and the crossbow arrows pierced their backs with blood and flesh, and then penetrated deep into the chests of those behind them, and then stopped completely......
Li Dingguo stared at the originally arrogant little day warrior: "What's the matter?" Just straddling? Why are they better than the officers and soldiers? ”
On a small day, the warrior ran back, and Liu Wenxiu reacted very quickly: "Brothers, leave five hundred people to cut off their heads, and the others will chase after me!" ”
"Kill them in the city, kill them and leave no armor behind!"
Sun Kewang was very excited, he won so easily, and then it was much easier.
The prisoners cheered loudly, put away the formation-breaking crossbow and pulled out the horizontal knife, roared and rushed towards the fleeing Xiaori warriors, grabbed them from behind, slashed them one by one, and then cut off their heads and hung them on their waists, and pounced on the next one with red eyes.
The North Korean soldiers saw that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and they also chased after the guys, they were beaten into dogs by the samurai of the small day just now, and they were embarrassed, and they were all holding back their anger, and now they can finally vent to their heart's content.
Those little day warriors with arrows in the legs suffered first, and the Korean soldiers sneered and pounced on these unlucky people who were crying and crawling towards the city trying to climb out of the way, swinging their knives and slashing at their hands and feet, they were not killing the enemy at all, but torture and killing, and the miserable screams of the small day warriors resounded in the blue sea and blue sky!
For the trailing rout to take advantage of the situation, this is what Zhang Xianzhong is best at, almost no stagnation, in the blink of an eye, the Ming army and Korean soldiers invaded Tsushima City, and engaged in fierce street battles with the samurai and fishermen in the streets.
Now the samurai have no way to retreat, only to use the terrain to fight desperately with the Ming Dynasty coalition army, and the horizontal sword and the samurai collide fiercely here, bursting out a string of sparks.
The battlefield is actually one-sided, although the prisoners are not regular troops, but they are all wearing iron armor, the warrior knife of the small day is extremely sharp, but the ability to cut the armor is scum, in the face of these Ming army warriors wearing strong armor, but the horizontal knife in the hands of the Ming army has a strong ability to cut armor, used to cut the small day warriors who are clothed in leather armor and bamboo armor, it is easy!
Arrows are flying in the streets and alleys, swords are like snow, on one side there is no way to retreat but to fight the trapped beasts, and on the other side is extremely eager for the other party's head that can be exchanged for freedom for itself, pressing step by step, which makes the war extremely cruel, that square inch of land has become a slaughterhouse, people are constantly joining the battlefield, constantly people have mutilated bodies and spurting blood to fall, walking on the streets, it is difficult not to step on the dead body.
In all fairness, the combat effectiveness of the warriors in Xiaori is still quite good, if the two sides have the same equipment, not to mention the labor prisoners, even if they are elite soldiers of the Ning Navy, they may not be able to take advantage of anything, but it is a pity that there are not so many ifs in this world.
In a courtyard, several small day warriors guarded the door, they took advantage of the familiar terrain, three or five in groups, advancing and retreating, the Ming soldiers showed a little flaw, they went straight in, the Ming soldiers only felt that the throat was cold, the throat and the major artery were cut off, exposed to the air.
Some small days of samurai hiding on the roof to the Ming army to play with their arrows, small days of the bow shot out of the arrow is relatively short, but the arrow and arrow shaft are thick and heavy, the lethality is very strong, at close range can penetrate the Ming army's iron armor, the Ming soldiers released arrows again and again.
Li Dingguo was furious: "Grenades, keep the cubs!" ”
The prisoners immediately came to their senses, removed the grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it directly into the house: "Go your ......"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Tsushima City immediately resounded with the explosion of grenades, and with the use of grenades by the Ming army, the fun was great.
As we all know, Xiaori is a good place where natural disasters are extremely frequent, and earthquakes are simply commonplace, so most of the houses in Xiaori are built with wood, bark, cardboard, etc., which are as light as possible, and such houses will not crush people even if they are knocked down by an earthquake.
But this thing is not fireproof, what is even worse is that most of the towns in Xiaori are like a canned sardine, the house is next to the house, a house is on fire, the whole street can't run away, with the fire caused by the grenade, suddenly the flames soared, the residents of Tsushima who were hiding in the house and shivering were trapped in the smoke and fire and cried, many people rushed out with a fire scream, and let the North Korean soldiers kick back into the sea of fire.
Tsushima City was in a sea of fire, and thick smoke rushed up to the sky, and the screams of the little day shook the sky and the earth, which was particularly thrilling!
"Tell the marshal, we have taken Tsushima City, and there are still scattered remnants of the enemy, and we will resist stubbornly......"
Cheng Shijie said: "Jiayue, you better stay on the boat!" ”
Cheng Jiayue said puzzledly: "Why? ”
"Daddy is afraid you'll have nightmares!"
Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Jialong and said, "You are protecting Sister Shu on the boat!" ”
Cheng Jialong shook his head and said: "Dad, if you don't come to the small days, then forget it, since you are here, if you don't cut a few small days, it will not be a trip for nothing." ”
"Just talk a lot"!
"That's what it was!"
Cheng Jialong hurriedly jumped off the trestle and walked towards Tsushima City.
When the sun set, the battle was over, the inner city of Tsushima was razed to the ground, the clan was slaughtered, more than 3,000 samurai and ashigaru were slaughtered, and the casualties of the Ming army and Korean sailors were only a few hundred, and the vast majority of these casualties were borne by the Korean sailors.
When Cheng Shijie and Cheng Jialong landed on Tsushima Island, they saw that Tsushima City was still blazing, and Sun Kewang was commanding his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.
Some unorganized and undisciplined guys carried wine bottles copied out of nowhere, pouring sake like boiling water, they were all a little drunk, holding horizontal knives in their hands, taking eight steps, driving out the small people hiding in all corners like cattle, and then capturing them, and dragging the woman into the alley when he saw a woman with a bit of beauty......
Cheng Shijie instantly remembered Professor Ai's words: "The sin is in the present generation, and the merit is in the future!" ”
Sun Kewang looked at a few Xiaotian captives and roared, "Where is the money? Where's the money? ”
Several Xiaotian were beaten to death, but they couldn't say why.
Sun Kewang said angrily: "Kill them for me!" ”
"Hopefully, what's wrong with you?"
"Dashuai, see for yourself! The criminal general has also been fighting for nearly ten years, and it is the first time that he knows that he will lose money if he steals his home! ”
Sun Kewang pointed to a large pile of loot, all of which were stolen from the samurai's house since childhood. It's a bit of a lift to say that it's property, and the garbage is pretty much the same: the bedding is tattered, and it becomes a pile of cotton wool when you pull it with your hands; The so-called heirloom knife scabbard and handle are very gorgeously decorated, but when you pull it out, it is purely a rusty iron bar!
"I can't find anything of value at all!"
The rogues were probably a little anxious, and even carried out the rice jar, but as soon as the cylinder lid was opened, there was immediately a musty smell coming to their faces, and they wanted to eat this kind of rice made of rice, and the samurai's heart was so strong that they were small.
"This is natto, I'll go, it stinks!"
Cheng Shijie looked at these trophies, sighed and said, "Ben Shuai has lost a lot this time!" ”
