On Shengsi Island, Zhu Di stood with a sword, but the dagger was placed on his neck.

Just as he was about to draw his sword and kill himself, he heard a sound breaking through the air.

"call out!!!"

"Boohoo!!!!"

Countless sound of breaking through the air sounded above Zhu Di's head, and then Zhu Di raised his eyes and saw countless fireballs slanting down from the port.

Lie down! !

Zhu Di fell to the ground as a conditioned reflex. This was his reaction after training countless times in the secret base.

Zhu Di had previously sneered at such cowardly behavior, but when Zhu Di saw the power of artillery for the first time at the artillery base, he admired the instructor's doctrine.

Under that kind of fierce artillery fire, Zhu Di took it for granted, let alone lying down, even digging a hole and crawling in.

Of course that's impossible.

This is the first time Zhu Di has been baptized by artillery fire on a real battlefield.

When a familiar explosion sounded around him, Zhu Di hugged his head tightly with his hands. With this indiscriminate cleaning action, Zhu Di knew that he could only rely on luck to survive.

Zhu Di curled up his body vigorously, trying to minimize his stress-bearing area.

With his eyes closed and his mouth wide open, he didn't dare to close it even if the splashing soil sprayed into his mouth.

If you close your mouth when deafening sounds are heard around you, it is likely to damage your eardrum and eventually cause you to become deaf.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Like thunder, it began to roar over Shengsi Island.

And countless fireballs shot out from the giant ship parked at the port.

When these fireballs hit the ground, the smoke and dust produced by the explosion covered the sky and the sun.

The Japanese pirates who originally surrounded the navy were now bombarded by these sudden artillery fire, making them cry for their fathers and mothers.

Countless limbs and broken arms were blasted into the sky by artillery, and there were even many Japanese pirates who were directly crushed into pulp by physical bombs.

The Japanese pirates were standing in a dense crowd. After the first round of artillery washed the ground, less than a thousand of them could stand up.

These 1,000 people were all the Japanese pirates closest to Zhu Di and the Ming army. Although the attack on the ship was indiscriminate, if you could save your comrades as much as possible, it was best to avoid the bombing by your comrades.

Because Ichiro Inoue was relatively close to Zhu Di, he was not covered by artillery fire and was lucky to survive.

But when he saw the devastated battlefield and the Japanese pirate army that had been standing alive just now, with only these crooked melons and cracked dates left, his liver and gallbladder suddenly broke.

He didn't understand where these enemies came from?

I don’t know why these people’s artillery is so powerful?

All he knew was that all his years of hard work had been destroyed in this war, and that he would probably die as well.

Thinking of this, Inoue Ichiro looked at Zhu Di who seemed to be unconscious on the ground, feeling evil and fearful.

To pull out the Japanese island, Zhu Di must be chopped into pulp.

But before he stepped forward, a familiar voice sounded behind him again.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of fire cannons sounded again, and with the sound of fire cannons, the Japanese pirates who were still surrounding Ichiro Inoue immediately fled in all directions and turned into birds and beasts.

Seeing another large group of enemies appear, Inoue Ichiro did not dare to delay any longer. He could only glare at Zhu Di fiercely, turn around and follow his men, fleeing toward the southwest.

After Ichiro Inoue disappeared, Li Jin came out of the hiding place.

Li Jin spent half an hour and had already arrived at the port.

But after seeing the scale of the Japanese pirates, Li Jin did not dare to show up.

His men had less than 1,300 men, and they were soldiers who had just experienced a bloody battle in the valley and marched back to the port.

Not only were they short of physical strength, they were also short of ammunition.

If you come forward at this time, you will just be like the first team members who were surrounded, being beaten to death by the Japanese pirates using wheels.

Li Jin immediately ordered the navy soldiers with excellent water skills to return to the warship from the sea, and then bombard the enemy at the port.

After waiting for half an hour, the soldiers on the warship started shelling.

At this time, most of the Ming army at the port had been lost, which made Li Jin very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted.

He had less than 300 men in his hands, and the remaining 1,000 men were all sent back to the battleship.

Li Jin could only watch helplessly as the Ming army charged down below, and he also saw Lan Yu's figure.

Although he killed the enemy general, he was eventually drowned in the crowd during the charge.

What impressed him most was the young man who rushed to the front, but he was so far away from Taiyuan that he really couldn't see the man's face clearly.

He saw the young man rushing to the enemy leader regardless of his own safety, but he was unable to fight anymore and planned to kill himself.

Li Jin was extremely anxious. Fortunately, artillery support arrived in time, otherwise the young man might have died in front of him.

Walking on the beach strewn with corpses, Li Jin looked very ugly.

He didn't expect that his first expedition to exterminate the Japanese pirates would be so brutal, so brutal that he couldn't believe it.

"Calculate the casualties immediately and have all doctors and nurses on the warship disembark."

"Immediately build a field hospital on the beach and do our best to treat the wounded soldiers. I don't want to see another soldier die in front of me!!!"

"yes!"

Seeing the angry Li Jin, the staff officer hurriedly took the boat and walked to the giant ship.

The staff officer has followed Li Jin for so long, and this is the first time he has seen Li Jin so angry.

Looking at the embarrassing battlefield in front of him, the staff officer could also understand Li Jin's anger. According to the original plan, this should not have been like this.

The battle plan had been prepared long before going to sea.

Whether it is a landing operation or a sweep of the island, there is a strict plan.

If we proceed step by step and follow the plan, the Japanese pirates on this island will never be able to cause such heavy casualties to the navy.

However, Lan Yu led the leading team to pursue the Japanese pirates without authorization, causing the team to get out of touch, and the Chinese army lost traces of Lan Yu.

Then they fell into the Japanese pirates' plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, causing the remaining 500 navy troops to be besieged by the Japanese pirates.

Zhu Di and Lan Yu, who arrived later, joined the battlefield and used refueling tactics to put the navy's most elite advance team into the battlefield.

However, the addition of the first team did not change the situation of the battle.

Since these Japanese pirates dared to go to sea to become Japanese pirates, they naturally had a ruthless attitude. Even if they were killed by Lan Yu and Zhu Di, they would not retreat.

Knowing that in the end the physical strength of the navy's first team was exhausted, the most elite navy team was submerged under the human sea tactics.

Even Lan Yu was on the battlefield, overwhelmed by the crowd, not knowing whether to live or die.

The staff officer thought of this and wondered whether the court would punish Li Jin if Lan Yu died.

After all, no matter what Lan Yu said, he was still the Yongchang Marquis of the imperial court.

At this time, Lan Yu was supported by her two adopted sons and had already arrived in front of Li Jin.

"grown ups!"

Lan Yu's adopted son saluted Li, but Lan Yu didn't react at all.

Li Jin took a closer look and found that Lan Yu had stopped moving at this moment.

After seeing Lan Yu covered in blood, even now, there are still several wounds on the body, leaving blood outside.

Li Jin was shocked, thinking that Lan Yu would not die like this, so he quickly tested his breathing.

Just as the staff thought, Lan Yu was for the Marquis after all. Even if he made a mistake first, he should be handed over to the court for punishment.

If he really died on this small Shengsi Island, then Li Jin would really be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Jin doesn't know Zhu Di's identity yet, otherwise Li Jin might just want to pack up and run away.

Until he felt that the blue jade was still weak, Li Jin finally let go of it. However, when he saw the corpses of the navy lying scattered, Li Jin's face darkened again.

"Take your Marquis to the boat for treatment. If nothing happens, don't get off the boat casually."

Li Jin had a cold face and said in a deep voice:

"I will report the truth to the court about the course of this battle."

The two villains wanted to defend Lan Yu, but Li Jin didn't give them a chance at all and turned around to look for the wounded soldiers.

.....

"Great victory, great victory!!!"

In the study room, Commander Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, came to Zhu Yuanzhang with excitement on his face and announced the good news loudly:

"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Shanghu County went to sea the day before yesterday and met tens of thousands of Japanese pirates on Shengsi Island."

"The soldiers fought bravely and defeated the main force of the enemy at the northern port of Shengsi Island, and returned with a great victory."

"This attack killed more than 10,000 people, captured more than 30,000 people, and killed 4,000 people of the Ming Dynasty. A great victory, a great victory, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was correcting the memorial when he suddenly heard Mao Xiang's report and was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Li Jin really had two brushes, and he was actually able to defeat the Japanese pirates, and beheaded more than 10,000 people in the first battle, which was really surprising.

But Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of Zhu Di, and could only ask calmly:

"The gains are so huge, I wonder what the casualties of our army are?"

Mao Xiang's originally smiling face suddenly stopped smiling when he heard these words and hesitantly said:

"Our army's generals who went on the expedition totaled more than 3,000 people, of which more than 1,000 were killed and more than 500 were disabled."

"Yongchang Hou Lanyu was seriously injured and fell into coma. He is still being rescued."

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared, and then he suddenly slapped the case and asked:

"Where is our son? Where is the fourth child? Where is Zhu Di?"

"How is he? Did anything happen?"

"The fourth prince followed Lan Yu and fought bravely together, but...just..."

Mao Xiang said the last thing, lowering his head and not daring to say anything more.

"It's just what, why don't you tell me quickly???"

Zhu Biao was already extremely anxious, worried about what had happened to Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at Mao Xiang with his eyes wide open, without saying a word.
