After the ships of the three pirate groups landed on the coast, a large number of pirates headed towards Jinshi City.
In the Tang Dynasty's battle at Baijiangkou, the regiment destroyed the Japanese Navy. The frightened Japanese built six cities on Tsushima Island. But the scale is not large. There are only one or two hundred people guarding each one. Only Jintai City was expanded on a larger scale. As the main city of the feudal lord. Read the book
After Yang Fan looked at Jinshi City with a telescope on the balcony, he couldn't help but curl his lips. This is the magic horse breaking the city. The city wall is less than five meters high and is made of broken stones. There is not even a crenel, but a wooden fence is used on it. It looks like the wooden wall in the Age of Empires game.
While Yang Fan was observing the city, he asked Lin Yueru: "How many soldiers and horses does Zong Yicheng have?"
Lin Yueru took out several large brochures from the small suitcase, turned to Tsushima, looked at it carefully, and said, "Sir, the intelligence record is that the capacity is five thousand people. But Tsuima is very small and has a small population. I'm afraid there is no So many people. Even if they do business with North Korea, they can’t support so many people. It’s probably only two to three thousand people.”
Yang Fan nodded and said: "I think these ruined cities are just like this. However, there are still seven or eight thousand navy troops who have retreated here. The total number is ten thousand. This time it is considered a tough battle. Let's Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. This time, let the pirates fight a tough battle and train them. By the time we capture Jintai City, Tsushima will be basically pacified. The other small towns are not worth mentioning."
Lin Yueru said at this time: "Master, although the land here is small and the people are poor, there are not many resources. But in the past thousand years, the clan family has made a lot of money from doing business. There is probably a lot of gold and silver in the hoard. In addition, he My family also likes to collect art. I’m afraid there are a lot of good things accumulated over thousands of years. Their family especially likes calligraphy and painting.”
Yang Fan suddenly became interested. A few days ago, Mr. Guan contacted him on WeChat. The auction at the end of this year still lacked some heavyweight items. Ask him to help keep an eye on it.
"Well, what kind of calligraphy and painting works do they have? Let's talk about them."
"Sir, if nothing else, there are fifteen paintings by Song Huizong in the daimyo's mansion." Lin Yueru said while flipping through the information.
"What, a painting by Song Huizong, do you know what it is?" Yang Fan was shocked. This is good stuff.
"Sir, have you ever heard of Chen Ziang's Horse and Song Huizong's Eagle? These fifteen paintings are all paintings of eagles. There are also many porcelains from the two Song Dynasties."
Yang Fan was immediately happy. This time, the fight against Ma Fan was really worth it. As long as there is one painting and calligraphy by Song Huizong, it can be called a collector. Although Yang Fan has a lot of good things now, no amount of this kind of top-notch calligraphy and painting works is too much. As for Song Ci, it is even better.
"Give me the order. The attacking troops are not allowed to use explosive bombs and incendiary bombs. Let Lv Dan lead the two servant battalions to supervise the battle. If there is an opportunity, quickly rush into the mountain city for me. Directly occupy the feudal lord's mansion and save all the calligraphy and paintings for me. . To prevent them from setting fire to *** in despair. Don’t burn my porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.”
The little girl burst out laughing. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Mr. Hou look anxious. The feudal lord's mansion has not been attacked yet. The master regarded other people's Zong family's things as his own.
Yang Fan glared at her and said, "Why are you laughing? Master, I am here to protect China's cultural treasures. Do you understand? Besides, Master, I have taken a liking to it, and it is mine."
This sentence makes me angry, and my little girl likes to hear it. She smiled and said, "Yes, I have taken a liking to you, so they all belong to me. I am the best."
When Zong Yicheng was on the castle tower, he saw a large number of pirates swarming towards him, and his face turned pale with shock.
He only had 600 samurai and 2,000 ashigaru in his hands. In addition, the iron artillery team only has 300 people. Just these two thousand nine hundred people cannot stop more than ten thousand pirates.
Fortunately, the eight thousand sailors who retreated from the ship were also in the city, and the difference in number was not too big.
Woohoo! As the trumpet sounded. More than 12,000 pirates rushed up carrying temporarily cut trees and ladders made of iron nails. The pirates in the front row worked in pairs, carrying shields made of small tree trunks three meters high and two meters wide, with a diameter of five centimeters, to cover the front.
Yang Fan put a thousand cavalrymen in charge of supervising the battle. If the pirates opened the city gate, they would rush in, go straight to the feudal lord's mansion, and then hold on there.
This battle is a tough one. Enemy One
One thousand, pirates twelve thousand. There is no numerical advantage.
But for the pirates, each corps commander sent four grenades. They also have artillery support from the cruisers behind them. After all, these heavy artillery have a maximum range of four thousand meters, which is within reach.
It's just that Yang Fan was afraid of setting fire to the feudal lord's mansion and burning the cultural relics. Explosive and incendiary bombs are not allowed. However, solid bullets, shotgun shells, grapeshot, chain bullets, etc. can still be used.
The sailors also brought up five 7.92 three-barrel Gatling guns.
When the pirates rushed to a distance of fifty meters, the iron cannons on the city wall opened fire immediately. These people are all the iron cannons on the original ship, a total of two thousand people. Together with the city's three hundred iron gunners, they fired at the city.
The shields in the front row suddenly made a puffing sound. When Zi Yaoyu hit these five-centimeter-thick tree trunks that were densely packed together and fixed with iron nails on the shields, although wood chips flew everywhere, most of them did not penetrate.
Japan is short of iron and even less of lead. Their iron cannon bullets are all ground from stone. They call bullets so-and-so jade. I know there are similar names in modern times.
These pirates are experienced in fighting and are extremely fierce. They have been fighting at sea for many years and have far more combat experience than the navy. There hasn't been much fighting in the past twenty years, and Japan's navy is also very decadent.
The people in the front row basically blocked most of the bullets with wooden fences, but a few unlucky ones were hit by iron cannons and fell to the ground. The people who didn't get shot didn't care about the people who got shot. There are nurses and ambulance soldiers from behind to deal with it. They just charge.
Seeing these people rushing into the city ditch with their shields tilted, there was no water in the ditch here, it was just an intermittent pit with a not too steep slope. Warriors on the city wall. Immediately dropped the Japanese version of the grenade baked jade.
They call bullets, grenades and the like jade, and there are two types of them. The light one is like a teapot, with gunpowder and poison inside the ceramic. Tie it with a hemp rope. After lighting the fuse, start the hemp rope and throw it out. This is equivalent to a grenade.
The second type is something like a small rocket launched from a large tube. Similar to later rifle grenades. Load the propellant and small rockets into the barrel of the large barrel. Then ignite the fuse of the small rocket, pull the trigger, and the big barrel fires. You can hit the small rocket to a place beyond the human throwing distance.
