Chapter 305
"Hit with a boat?"
Cheng Shijie shook his head and said: "Forget it, we are porcelain, don't go head-to-head with earthen pots! Even if they exchange a hundred ships for one of ours, we will still suffer."
Although Cheng Shijie knew that Li Zhixiang's idea of using a ship to hit it was very feasible, after all, the tonnage was there, Cheng Shijie said: "Cover it with rocket launchers!"
"yes!"
As Cheng Shijie's order was issued, the four- or six-unit equipment of each ship, including the latest twelve-unit rocket launcher, and the Buhuolong water launcher were adjusted up and down to meet the standards of the small day fleet on the sea. The rocket launcher shells have long been loaded.
"咻咻咻咻..."
A dense and sharp whistling sound rose from the ground. Hot air waves erupted from the rocket launcher tube. White smoke rolled like a wall. Fire dragons shot out from the launch tube. The ballistic trajectories were crisscrossed and intersected in an instant. It turned into a terrifying fire net, roaring sharply, and rushed toward the Little Rift Fleet!
The navy soldiers and generals who were waiting in full formation all raised their heads in shock, their faces turning pale as they looked at the fierce curtain of fire. What the hell is this? It's so terrifying! ?
The next moment, the fire curtain fell, and the explosions bloomed like a kaleidoscope, expanded into a large ball of fire, and spread at an alarming speed. The thunderous explosion made the sky rumble. The hit rate of the rocket launcher was not high, but the problem was that the small day battleship It was too small, even the huge waves and whirlpools caused by the explosion in the sea could capsize their warship.
In the stunned gaze of the Xiaori samurai and generals, the huge Xiaori fleet was either blown to pieces by rocket launchers or overturned by huge waves caused by rocket launchers.
Just one salvo fired, and the entire vast sea surface was covered with thick smoke and black clouds. From time to time, explosions were heard, and the sound of rolling thunder shook even the air slightly, which was very scary.
The sea water has been slightly reddened by blood. Countless corpses and broken wood are floating on the sea surface. More people are shouting wildly on the warship that is burning with raging fire and is tilting rapidly, or holding on to everything they can to float. Things jumped into the sea and swam desperately to the beach. Even though they were so far away, their cries could still be vaguely heard.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa stood on a hill by the sea, looking at the tragedy on the sea with a monocular telescope. He said nothing. His burly body was like an iceberg, but the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and his teeth were chattering.
His navy is finished, completely finished!
They were annihilated by the enemy in front of him! And in just a quarter of an hour, he never imagined that the navy that the Shimazu family had worked hard to build for more than ten generations would be so vulnerable to the Ming Navy.
In fact, Cheng Shijie did not expect that a salvo of rocket launchers could achieve such a huge result. At the first moment when they were attacked by rocket launchers, the naval warships lost almost one-third, and nearly half of them were due to their fighting. Some of them ran away and collided with each other, and some of them fell apart during the escape process because the warships were in disrepair.
No matter what the reason was, in just a quarter of an hour, the fleet of Xiaozhi no longer existed.
Cheng Shijie now also figured out that the reason why Tsushima Island was losing money was because Tsushima Muneyoshi realized that the people's livelihood on Tsushima Island was declining and could use Saiyi's method to restore the economy. Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that Tsushima Muneyoshi was interested in Since there is no threat to him, he supports him to become Japan's window for foreign trade.
Therefore, Zong Yizhi purchased a large amount of raw silk and prepared to sell it to the Dutch. It was a pity that these raw silks worth three to four hundred thousand taels of silver were completely burned by a fire. If these raw silks could be intact After the seizure, at least Ning Haijun could save his capital.
Cheng Shijie looked at Li Zhixiang and said, "You can take it easy. On Tsushima Island, you fought too hard and burned all the raw silk. Don't cause me to lose money!"
"Commander, don't worry, I promise it won't be like last time!"
Li Zhixiang patted his chest and said, "If anyone fails to hit me accurately this time, I will put them in solitary confinement!"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's confidant Tadora Kitago said with some worry: "Your Excellency, our navy has been completely wiped out. No matter how unobstructed the enemy fleet is, they can land at any port unscrupulously, but we have to fortify everywhere. Too I'm passive, what should I do?"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said, "We are waiting for them on land! They are not as cool as you said. The storm may come at any time. They must land as soon as possible, otherwise they will all be buried in the belly of the fish like Yuan Kou. And once they land, our The opportunity has come. In terms of foot combat, no one can be the opponent of the Kyushu warriors!"
"hope so……"
All Kitago Tadora saw were brightly colored flags. The flags and the flags on their backs merged into a sea. Tens of thousands of Kyushu samurai and Ashigaru were arrayed majestically, with swords and guns like a forest, battle flags like clouds, and the military appearance Hengsheng, this gave him a little confidence.
Kyushu samurai are known for their fierceness and tenacity, and they have the advantage of fighting at home, so blocking the enemy shouldn't be a problem, right?
As long as they can hold out for a few days, reinforcements from the Choshu clan will arrive, and by then the enemy will be driven into the sea. If you're lucky, you won't even have to wait until the day when the Japanese army launches a massive counterattack. The enemy troops will have been driven into the seabed by the huge waves set off by the hurricane...
Three hundred years ago, the Yuan army's disastrous defeat at Hakata Bay allowed the Xiaori army to establish a psychological advantage over China. In their eyes, Xiaori was a country blessed by gods and protected by divine winds. No matter how powerful the enemy was, they would never decide to conquer it. From the moment the war reached the mainland of Xiaoli, they were destined to fail. Even the navy's disastrous defeat did not shake their self-confidence.
The Ming army did not let them wait too long. After easily tearing the Satsuma clan's pocket navy into pieces, the Ning navy expeditionary force fleet made a slight adjustment and rushed towards the port. The Ning Navy Expeditionary Force had the First Fleet as the left wing and the Fourth Fleet as the right wing. More than 500 ships surged towards Kyushu like a dark cloud weighing heavily on the sea.
"Everyone shoots accurately. If anyone fails to shoot accurately, I will deduct a month's military pay!"
Li Zhixiang also knew that the navy fought too hard on Tsushima Island and burned all the raw silk worth hundreds of thousands of taels. If Cheng Shijie suffered further losses, he would probably have to move his position.
A look of anger flashed across Shimazu Mitsuhisa's thin face, and he said angrily: "The Ming army is too arrogant. Do they think they can destroy our coastal defenses with just a few of their warships!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a row of thundering fireballs roaring from the sea, followed by a rumble that almost scared the little Japanese warrior out of his mind, like rolling thunder. A large ball of orange fire exploded on the beach, and the first shot hit Shimazu's battle flag, tearing it into countless pieces and scattering them everywhere, like ghost coins blown up by the strong wind.
Xiaori was horrified to see that the solid shore defenses collapsed in the explosion and flames. Countless warriors were blown to pieces, and the young warriors on the beach were thrown into the sky like rag dolls, and then there was a rain of blood. .
Such a bloody and horrifying scene frightened everyone so much that their faces turned pale, their souls were out of their bodies, and they stood there blankly, unable to even speak.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
Another volley of shells flew over, this time landing on the huddled dock. The cannonball smashed straight into the crowd, exploded with a bang, and the fire shot up. I don't know how many people disappeared without a trace in the flash of fire. Their arms and legs were flying randomly in the air, and their intestines and stomachs were covering their heads and faces. Smash it down and almost bury the survivors alive!
Shrapnel splashed. Because the people on the pier were so dense, not a single shrapnel was wasted. Centered on the explosion point, a large number of soldiers fell down in large pieces. Some had their arms cut off, and some were killed. Their thighs were cut off, some had their stomachs exploded and all their intestines spilled out, and some even had their waists cut into two pieces!
After the explosion, the originally noisy dock fell into a deathly silence. The little Japanese warrior looked at the blank areas filled with blood and flesh like a man possessed, and his body shivered.
They have experienced hundreds of battles, and they have fought many battles, but have they never seen such a bloody and terrifying scene? What made them most uncomfortable was that the shells were flying over the sea in rows. They had no chance to fight back and could only endure the beatings!
The port and dock turned into a sea of fire. No one knew how many people were blown to pieces in an instant. Those who were still alive screamed in horror in the fire, or ran like headless flies. I didn’t know what I was shouting. In one sentence, everyone was frightened by such a terrifying blow!
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes almost fell to the ground, and he screamed: "This... what kind of weapon is this?"
"This round of artillery fire was good. At least one or two hundred people were killed!"
Cheng Shijie held the telescope and looked at it excitedly: "Still at this point, keep fighting! Are the rocket launchers ready?"
"Reply to the Commander-in-Chief, ready!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Aim at the dock and launch!"
Cheng Shijie gave an order, and lightning flashed on the sea. Milky white smoke swept across the deck like a tsunami. Fire dragons roared out of the launch tube, pulled out straight parabolas, and rushed towards the dock with their teeth and claws. In a blink of an eye, there were Thousands of rocket launcher shells hit the heads of the defenders on the dock.
You can see with a telescope that dazzling explosions are rising from every corner of the pier. The small explosions instantly expand into huge fireballs. Pieces, rows, and clumps form a terrifyingly dense fireball. The Flame Forest covers almost the entire dock city.
The thunderous explosion shook the entire Maotu. The shock wave of the explosion was wrapped in shrapnel, flames and countless gravels, knocking down houses, uprooting trees, and leveling everything it encountered!
Some trees were too tall, and the shock wave of the explosion could not uproot them, but it was not easy either. The trees were covered with shrapnel in the blink of an eye. What was even more frightening was that the explosion shock wave swept over and the tree crowns burned like torches. Those leaves are obviously green, but they are crackling with fire!
The entire Hakata Bay Pier has turned into a purgatory. I don’t know how many young soldiers were involved in the fire, and their bodies were not left. It is not known how many people were trapped in the fire and struggled and screamed. However, who else could save them? Who dares to rush into the dock that has become a furnace to save them?
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes were completely red, and he waved his samurai sword and shouted at the sea: "Despicable! Shameless! If you have the guts, come ashore and fight. What's the point of just hiding on the sea and firing cannons? You guys are cowards, ah..."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa roared and slashed wildly with his saber, as if he was crazy. He was really going crazy!
Beixiang Zhonghu almost broke his teeth, but when he saw the cannonballs constantly flying from the sea, and every cannonball fell, flesh and blood flew everywhere. He realized that the dock could not be defended, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, there is nothing we can do here. It’s defended and must be transferred in!”
When I was young, I was thick-skinned. Retreating is not called retreating, it is called turning in. Asking for help is not called asking for help, it is called guidance.
If it were normal times, Shimazu Mitsuhisa would definitely scold Kitago Tadora with a straight face and retreat without a fight. What kind of samurai would he be? The Shimazu family has no such tradition!
However, the power of the Ming Army's rockets scared the young master. At the same time, it also made him realize that it was not a smart move to put the troops here. In front of the Ming Army's rocket launchers, no matter how many troops there were, they were nothing more. Just a bunch of targets!
Shimazu Mitsuhisa wiped a handful of cold sweat and shouted: "Turn in, turn in!"
In the early days, the samurai retreated hurriedly as if they were receiving an amnesty.
Just as the rocket launcher gunners on the Ning Navy battleship loaded the rocket shells again, before they had time to launch, they saw the young soldiers in the fort holding their heads and screaming and escaping from the inside, rolling and crawling away from the fort. , fled away.
Ning Haijun's gunners were stunned. I haven't finished the fight yet. Why are you running?
The horrific scene of two volleys of rocket launchers, like a volcanic eruption, had frightened the Satsuma clan soldiers in the fort to the point of splitting their livers. They finally waited for the rocket launchers to stop firing, and immediately escaped without hesitation, with their feet up and down. Flying, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, it is as powerful as a galloping horse. That kind of speed, that kind of passion, that kind of desire for sunshine and life, even if Bolt is invited, he will have to kneel down!
Cheng Shijie blinked in disbelief: "Why did they all run away? What a shame!"
Seeing all the little ones running away, Cheng Shijie took the walkie-talkie and said: "Sun Kewang, you land with the death camp!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Sun Kewang looked at Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and said: "None of the brothers had enough fun killing Tsushima Island. Tsushima Island is too small. The life on Kyushu Island is hundreds of times longer than on Tsushima Island. After this battle, It’s time for all our brothers to become free!”
Li Dingguo shrugged: "It doesn't matter whether you are free or not, I just like this kind of life!"
Liu Wenxiu smiled and said: "You are noble, you are great, I am a common person, I just want to get promoted and make a fortune!"
"Wenxiu, Dingguo, let's make a deal first. This little guy is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. Don't let your boat capsize in the gutter!"
Sun Kewang said: "I will go up first and establish an outpost, and then you will go up..."
"Why bother Commander Sun with these trivial matters? Let me do it for you!"
Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but jumped on a boat.
Li Dingguo looked at Sun Kewang coldly: "Your selfishness can be smelled ten miles away against the wind!"
Li Dingguo also took his men and horses in one hundred and sixty small boats and rushed towards the dock.
Because the little days ran too fast, the reform-through-labor prisoners from the death camp successfully boarded the pier. More and more soldiers boarded the pier, black armor and black cloaks, converging into a black torrent.
This ocean of metal quickly spread out on the dock. Long soldiers and short soldiers cooperated with each other to advance in attack formation.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa is not a flower in the greenhouse. This guy has rich combat experience. As early as Shimazu Yoshihiro participated in the Korean War, the Ming army lost the Battle of Sichuan with the largest casualties in Korea. It was lost to Shimazu Yoshihiro.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked at the Ming army that looked like a sea of metal, and frowned slightly: "He asked a retainer next to him uncertainly: "Is this... is this really the Ming army? Why do I look nothing like him? "
When that retainer was young, he led a group of bankrupt samurai to plunder the coastal areas of China. The wealthy people and the beggar-like army in the coastal areas of China left a very deep impression on him, even though Japan was in Ren Chen Zhan was defeated by the Ming army, but it did not change his contempt for the Ming army. They were just a bunch of beggars. What was there to fear?
However, the Death Battalion shattered his arrogance. He said calmly: "Except for the fact that their flags are the same as the Ming Army, there is nothing similar to the Ming Army..."
"No matter what, drive them into the sea, otherwise, we will have no chance!"
"I go!"
A short man who is less than 1.5 meters tall is called Maeda Nagai, and he can be regarded as one of the heroes of the Shimadzu family.
"good!"
Maeda Nagayu waved his hand: "Loyal and brave warriors of the Shimazu family, follow me!"
Maeda Changyong galloped towards the dock. Two thousand soldiers of the Satsuma domain, armed with blunderbuss, long bows, bamboo spears and long knives, followed quickly. Everyone looked nervous and even a little confused.
What equipment do they have, what equipment does the Ming army have, and how to fight this battle?
Isn't this longer than a donkey?
Is this comparable?
Seeing the young warriors swarming across from them, Li Dingguo counted them silently: "General Sun, General Liu, I have taken care of these young warriors!"
"No, good brothers, come together!"
Liu Wenxiu looked at Sun Kewang and said, "How about asking for artillery support?"
"If you let the ship bombard you, who will be beheaded?"
Sun Kewang said: "When they enter thirty steps, throw out all the grenades!"
