Chapter 305 Whose decapitation is counted with naval shelling
Chapter 305
"Hit by a boat?"
Cheng Shijie shook his head and said: "Forget it, we are porcelain, don't collide with the crockpot!" Even if they exchange a hundred ships for one of us, we will suffer. ”
Although Cheng Shijie knew that Li Zhixiang said that he had to hit the ship, it was very feasible, after all, the tonnage was there, Cheng Shijie said: "Cover it with rocket artillery!" ”
"Yes!"
With Cheng Shijie's order, the four or six units of each ship are equipped, including the latest twelve-mounted rocket artillery, and the launch device of the non-fire dragon out of the water is adjusted up and down, facing the standard of the small day fleet on the sea. Rocket artillery shells have long been loaded.
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
A dense and sharp whistling sound rose from the ground, a scorching wave of air erupted from the rocket artillery launch tube, white gunpowder smoke rolled up like a wall, and a series of fire dragons shot out of the launch tube, the trajectory was staggered, and in an instant, it converged into a terrible fire net, screaming sharply, and swept towards the small day fleet!
The soldiers and generals of the Navy who had been waiting for the day raised their heads in shock, looking at the fierce fire curtain and their faces turned pale, what the hell, so terrifying!?
The next moment, the curtain of fire fell, the explosion point bloomed like a kaleidoscope, expanding into a large ball of fireball, spreading at an alarming speed, the thunderous explosion made the sky rumble, and the hit rate of the rocket artillery was not high, but the problem was that the battleship was too small on a small day, even if it was the huge waves and whirlpools caused by the explosion in the sea, it could make their battleship capsize.
Under the stunned gaze of the Samurai and the generals, the huge fleet of the Little Day was either blown to pieces by rocket artillery or overturned by the huge waves caused by rocket artillery.
Just one salvo, the entire huge sea, the sea surface thick smoke billowed on, black pressure, dark clouds generally covered the sea surface, from time to time there were explosions, rolling thunder generally shook even the air slightly vibrating, very terrifying.
The sea had been stained slightly red with blood, countless corpses and broken wood were floating on the sea, and more people were shouting and shouting on the rapidly tilting battleship that was burning with a raging fire, or jumping into the sea with everything that could float, desperately swimming towards the sea, even after such a distance, their cries could still be faintly heard.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa stood on a hill by the sea, looking at the tragedy on the sea with a monocular, without saying a word, his not burly body was like an iceberg, but the back of his hands was full of green tendons, and his teeth were gritted loudly.
His navy, it's over, it's all over!
Annihilated by the enemy in front of him! And in just a quarter of an hour, he never thought that the navy that the Shimazu family had worked hard to build for more than ten generations would be so vulnerable in front of the Ming Navy.
In fact, Cheng Shijie did not expect that a round of rocket artillery salvo could achieve such a huge result, in the first moment of being attacked by rocket artillery, the loss of the naval warships in Xiaori was almost one-third, and nearly half of them collided with each other in order to escape, and some of them fell apart directly because the battleship was in disrepair and fell apart in the process of escaping.
Whatever the reason, anyway, in just a quarter of an hour, the fleet of the little day has ceased to exist.
Cheng Shijie has now figured out that the reason why Tsushima Island will lose money is because Tsushima Zong Yoshizhi realized that the people's livelihood on Tsushima Island was withering and could restore the economy with the help of Xiyi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that Tsushima Yoshizhi was no threat to him, so he supported him to become a window for Japan's foreign trade.
So, Zong Yizhi bought a large amount of raw silk and prepared to sell it to the Dutch, but it was a pity that these raw silk, worth three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, were burned clean by a fire, if these raw silk can be captured completely, at least Ning Haijun can protect the capital.
Cheng Shijie looked at Li Zhixiang and said: "You can take it easy, in Tsushima Island, you fought too hard and burned all the raw silk, don't hurt Ben Shuai and lose money!" ”
"Dashuai, don't worry, I promise it won't be like last time!"
Li Zhixiang patted his chest and said: "If anyone can't beat this time, I'll shut them up!" ”
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's confidant, Kitago Tadatora, said with some concern: "Your Excellency, our navy has been completely wiped out, and the enemy fleet is no longer barrier-free, and it can land in any port without impunity, but we have to fortify everywhere, too passive, how can this be good?" ”
Mitsuhisa Shimazu said, "We are waiting for them on land!" They are not as dashing as you say, and the storm can come at any time, and they must land as soon as possible, or they will all die like Yuan Kou. And as soon as they landed, our chance came, and no one was an opponent of the Kyushu samurai in foot combat! ”
"I hope so......"
All Beixiang Tadahu saw were brightly colored flags, recognizing the flag and carrying the flag into a sea, tens of thousands of Kyushu samurai and ashigaru were arrayed, swords and guns were like forests, battle flags were like clouds, and the army was at its peak, which gave him a little confidence.
The Kyushu samurai are known for their fierceness and tenacity, and they have the advantage of fighting at home, so it shouldn't be a problem to block the enemy army, right?
As long as they can withstand it for a few days, reinforcements from the Choshu domain will arrive, and the enemy will be driven out to sea. If you're lucky, you don't even have to wait for the day when the Japanese counterattack will be carried out by the enemy's huge waves set off by the hurricane......
Three hundred years ago, the disastrous defeat of the Yuan army at Hakata Bay allowed the Xiaori army to establish a psychological advantage over China, in their eyes, Xiaori was a blessed country, with the protection of the gods, no matter how powerful the enemy, from the moment they decided to burn the flames of war to the Xiaori mainland, they were doomed to failure, even the defeat of the navy, did not shake their self-confidence.
And the Ming army didn't let them wait too long, and after easily tearing the pocket version of the Satsuma Domain navy to pieces, the Ning Navy Expeditionary Force fleet made a slight adjustment and rushed towards the port. With the First Fleet as the left flank and the Fourth Fleet as the right flank, the Ning Naval Expeditionary Force Fleet of more than 500 ships rushed towards Kyushu like a dark cloud that was heavy on the sea.
"It's all on time, if anyone can't get it right, I'll deduct a month's military salary!"
Li Zhixiang also knew that the navy was fighting too fiercely on Tsushima Island, and burned the raw silk worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
A trace of anger flashed across Shimazu Mitsuhisa's thin face, and he said angrily: "The Ming army is too arrogant, do they think that they can destroy our coastal fortifications with just a few battleships!?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a row of thunderous fireballs roaring from the sea, followed by a rumbling sound that made the samurai of the little day almost scatter, like rolling thunder. A large cloud of orange fire exploded on the tidal flats, and the first shot hit Shimazu's battle flag, tearing it into countless pieces and scattering it everywhere, like a coin blown by a strong wind.
Xiao Ri was shocked to see that the strong shore fortifications collapsed in the firelight of the explosion, and countless samurai were blown to pieces, throwing the samurai of the tidal flat formation into the sky like rag dolls, and then raining down a rain of blood.
Such a bloody and terrifying picture frightened everyone to turn pale, out of their bodies, and stand there in a daze, unable to speak.
"Boom Boom ......"
Another volley of shells flew over, this time on the crowded dock. The cannonball smashed into the pile of people in a daze, exploded violently, and the fire rushed up, I don't know how many people disappeared without a trace in a flash of firelight, arms and thighs flew wildly in the air, and the intestines and stomachs smashed down and covered their faces, almost burying the survivors alive!
Shrapnel splashed, because the people on the dock were too dense, no shrapnel was wasted, with the explosion point as the center, the soldiers of the small day fell a large piece in a hurry, some were cut off their arms, some were cut off their thighs, some were blown up their stomachs, all the intestines flowed out, and some were cut into two pieces!
After the explosion, the originally noisy dock fell into a deathly silence, and the samurai of the little day looked at the blank area covered with blood and minced flesh as if he was fascinated, and his body trembled.
They have been through a hundred battles, and they don't know how many battles they have fought, but how have they ever seen such a bloody and terrifying picture? The most uncomfortable thing for them was that the shells flew in rows from the sea, and they had no chance to fight back, so they could only stand up and be beaten!
The port and the docks turned into a sea of fire, and no one knew how many people were blown to pieces in an instant, and those who were still alive let out a frightened scream in the fire, or ran like headless flies, and they didn't even know what they were shouting, in a word, everyone was frightened by such a terrible blow!
Mitsuhisa Shimazu's eyes almost fell to the ground, and he hissed, "This ...... What kind of weapon is this? ”
"This round of artillery is well fired, and one or two hundred people will be reimbursed, to say the least!"
Cheng Shijie took the binoculars, looked at it and said excitedly: "It's still this point, keep fighting!" Is the rocket artillery ready? ”
"Returning to the handsome, ready!"
"So what are you waiting for? Aim at the dock and launch! ”
Cheng Shijie gave an order, a lightning flash on the sea, milky white smoke and flames swept across the deck like a tsunami, and one after another fire dragons roared out of the launch tube, pulling out straight parabolas, and pounced on the dock with teeth and claws, and in an instant, thousands of rocket artillery shells smashed on the heads of the defenders of the dock.
With the telescope, you can see that every corner of the dock has a dazzling explosion point, and the small explosion point instantly expands into a huge fireball, piece by piece, row by row, clump by cluster, forming a dense and terrifying flame forest, covering almost the entire dock city.
The thunderous explosion shook the entire Utome with a blast of shrapnel, flames, and countless rubble, knocking down houses, uprooting trees, and leveling everything it came across!
Some of the trees were too tall for the blast wave to uproot them, but it wasn't easy either, the trees were covered with shrapnel in the blink of an eye, and what was even more terrifying was that the blast wave swept by, and the canopy burned like torches, and the leaves were crackling with a crackling sound!
The entire Hakata Bay pier has become purgatory, I don't know how many small days soldiers have been caught in the fire, and there are no bones, and I don't know how many people have been trapped in the fire and struggling to cry out, however, who else can save them? And who would dare to rush into the docks that had been turned into a furnace to save them?
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes were red, and he brandished his katana and shouted at the sea: "Despicable! Shameless! If you have a kind of landing, you can go ashore to fight, what kind of ability is it to just hide at sea and shoot cannons? You cowards, ah......"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa roared while waving a saber and slashing randomly, like crazy, he was really going crazy!
Beixiang Zhonghu almost gritted his teeth, but when he saw that the cannonballs kept flying from the sea, and every shell fell was flesh and blood, he realized that the dock could not be guarded, and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, there is no way to defend here, you must turn in!" ”
Small days are thick-skinned, retreating is not called retreat, it is called transferring, asking for help is not called asking for help, it is called guidance.
If it were peacetime, Shimazu Mitsuhisa would definitely scold Kitago Tadahu with a straight face and retreat without a fight, what kind of samurai is he? The Shimazu family has no such tradition!
But the power of the Ming army's rockets frightened the eldest young master, and at the same time made him realize that it was indeed not a smart move to put troops here, and in front of the Ming army's rocket artillery, no matter how many troops there were, they were just a bunch of targets!
Mitsuhisa Shimazu wiped a handful of cold sweat and shouted: "Turn in, turn in!" ”
On a small day, the samurai retreated as if they were under amnesty.
Just as the rocket artillery gunners on the battleship of the Ning Navy had reloaded the rocket shells again, and before they could launch them, they saw the soldiers in the fort fleeing from the turret with their heads in their hands and screaming.
Ning Haijun's gunner was stunned, I haven't finished the fight yet, why are you running?
The terrifying scene of the volcanic eruption of the two volleys of rocket artillery had frightened the soldiers of the Satsuma clan in the fort, and finally looked forward to the rocket artillery to stop firing, and immediately escaped without hesitation, and the two soles of their feet flew up and down, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, like a galloping horse, that speed, that passion, that desire for sunshine and life, even if Bolt was invited, he had to kneel!
Cheng Shijie blinked in disbelief: "Why did you run away?" It's really not planted! ”
Seeing that Xiao Ri had run away, Cheng Shijie took the walkie-talkie and said, "Sun Kewang, you landed with the death camp!" ”
"Yes!"
After Sun Kewang received the order, he looked at Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and said: "The brothers in Tsushima Island have not been killed, Tsushima Island is too small, and the small days on Kyushu Island are hundreds of times more than that of Tsushima Island, after this battle, the brothers should become free!" ”
Li Dingguo shrugged: "Free or not free, I like this kind of life!" ”
Liu Wenxiu smiled: "You are noble, you are great, I am a layman, I want to be promoted and make a fortune!" ”
"Wenxiu, Dingguo, let's talk about it first, this little man is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, don't overturn the boat in the gutter!"
Sun Kewang said: "I'll go first, set up an outpost, and then you ......."
"How can these little things bother Commander Sun, or the younger brother to serve!"
Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but say and jumped into a small boat.
Li Dingguo glanced at Sun Kewang coldly: "Your selfishness, you can smell ten miles in the wind!" ”
Li Dingguo also took his men and horses, divided into 160 small boats, and rushed towards the wharf.
Because Xiao Ri ran too fast, the prisoners of the death camp successfully boarded the dock, and more and more soldiers boarded the dock, black armor and black cloaks, converging into a black torrent.
This sea of metal spread out rapidly on the dock, and the long and short soldiers cooperated with each other to advance in an attack formation.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa is not a flower in a greenhouse, this guy has rich combat experience, as early as Shimazu Yoshihiro participated in the Korean War, the Ming army's biggest casualty defeat in North Korea The Battle of Sacheon was lost to Shimazu Yoshihiro.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked at the Ming army like a sea of metal, and frowned slightly: "I'm not sure to ask a retainer next to me: "This ...... Is this really the Ming army? Why don't I look like it at all? ”
When the retainer was young, he took a group of bankrupt samurai to the coastal areas of China to plunder, and the fortunes of the coastal areas of China and the army called Hanako left a deep impression on him, even if Japan was defeated by the Ming army in the Imjin War, it did not change his contempt for the Ming army, a group of people called Hanako, what is there to fear?
However, the death camp shattered his arrogance, and he said sneeringly: "Except that their banners are the same as those of the Ming army, there is nothing similar to the Ming army......
"No matter, drive them out into the sea, or we won't have a chance!"
"I'll go!"
A little man who is less than 1.5 meters tall is named Maeda Nagayong, and he is also one of the fierce generals of the Shimazu family.
"Good!"
Maeda Nagayong waved his hand: "Shimazu family's loyal and brave samurai, follow me!" ”
Maeda rode his horse towards the pier. Two thousand Satsuma Domain soldiers armed with birds, longbows, bamboo spears and knives, and quickly followed, each of them looking nervous and even a little confused.
What equipment are they, what equipment is the Ming army, and how is this battle fought?
Isn't this longer than a donkey?
Is this comparable?
Looking at the small days on the opposite side, the warriors flocked to him, Li Dingguo silently counted: "General Sun, General Liu, these small days have come true!" ”
"No, good brothers together!"
Liu Wenxiu looked at Sun Kewang and said, "Do you want to ask for artillery support?" ”
"Let the ship bombard, whose decapitation is it?"
Sun Kewang said: "When they enter the thirty steps, all the grenades will be thrown out!" ”
