Cannonballs cannot be unlimited.
Once you finish it, what will you do next?
Is such a huge naval force just a decoration?
After several rounds of shooting, Lu Li ordered to slow down the frequency. After the Japanese got through the initial chaos, they gradually stabilized their position and tried to counterattack.
Because Liu Wei broke the appointment again, all the generals in the navy were extremely disgusted with him.
Chen Li raised a flag and asked his wolf soldiers who had launched a charge to retreat.
After all, it was the commander's order. The ships at the rear of the team began to return, but the same could not be said for the marines and sailors in front. They were already fighting at close range with the enemy. If they suddenly pulled away, the losses would be even greater.
Precious time passes little by little.
The sea began to recede.
Lu Li didn't care much, and once again ordered a thousand artillery salvos to give the vanguard, which was slightly behind, a chance to withdraw.
Another group of wolf soldiers left the shallow sea and their lives were saved, but there were still more than twenty boats completely stranded on the beach.
Although Honda Tadakatsu couldn't figure out why the Ming army on land made no movement and missed such a good opportunity to attack the city, these are no longer important.
The gates of Shuntian's seaside city were opened wide, and thousands of Japanese pirates came out to attack the allied forces' stranded ships.
The big ship commanded by Lu Li could not get closer, and he could only watch helplessly as the bravest forward became a lone army.
Beside, Chen Phosphate's eyes were about to burst.
The loyal soldiers he brought from Guangdong and Guangxi were standing desperately on the bow of the boat, using knives, spears, fists, and teeth to fight to the death against the Japanese who were gathering from all sides.
One after another, they fell on the bow of the boat, with bright red blood spreading all over the beach. They kept their eyes open before they died. They were the first vanguards to hit the Japanese, and they concentrated on killing the enemy. They didn't understand how the situation was reversed in an instant.
These navy soldiers are usually arrogant, but they are all Chen Li's robes. After seeing such a bloody scene, he can only stay abroad and do nothing, and his eyes can't help but be bloodshot.
Everyone can understand that if they die on the battlefield openly and loyally to the country, there is nothing to say, but these wolf soldiers clearly do not need to make such sacrifices.
As a foreign general, Yi Sun-shin saw very clearly that these soldiers actually died at the hands of friendly forces who broke their promises.
"Liu Wei, you are a dog and rat!"
"I want to kill you, so I'll let you drink!"
Chen Li's roar of filial piety resounded across the ocean.
What military exploits? He wants to use all his connections to kill Liu Wei!
Such angry shouts reached Li Shiyan's ears from afar, and he responded with a sigh.
"We will do our best in a moment to pick up this stranded remnant army."
"yes."
Li, who was lying on the beach nearby, responded to the soldiers.
The situation became increasingly clear, and the trapped ship would be a dead end sooner or later. The wolf soldiers jumped off the ship one after another and retreated inland.
After being continuously bombarded by artillery, the Japanese were in such a state of embarrassment that they could not let go and began to form a formation to surround them all.
At this time, there was movement from the inland direction, bow strings vibrated, firecrackers roared, and arrows and projectiles fell on the Japanese camp. Immediately, dozens of warriors fell down, and a gap was opened.
The surrounded soldiers knew that they could not miss the opportunity, so they immediately rushed out from the gap, joined forces with Li Chao's archers, and finally escaped.
Li Shiyan made a rough count and found that he had only rescued more than 140 sailors. They were all killed until their weapons were curled and their bodies were stained with blood!
…
Obviously, these were only a very few lucky ones. The rest of the wolf soldiers did not have such luck. They either died on the bow of the ship or were captured by the Japanese.
Lu Li listened to the reports from the left and right, and found out that a total of twenty-three sand ships and ships were lost in this battle.
Among the stranded ships, there were only two Korean warships and one Ming warship. Thanks to the sharp bows and arrows of the sailors, their firm will to fight, and their slightly backward position, they were able to hold on until the tide rose again and staggered back to the ocean.
Can you bear this?
Lu Li was extremely happy and angry, but he completely hated Liu Wei in his heart. This person was even more disgusting than the Quanzhou guard Chen Yuzhong he met when he was guarding Nanyuan.
He wrote a letter to implore the navy to come to help, but he missed the opportunity to fight and had no fighting spirit.
Afterwards, he forced himself to quibble and once again invited the navy to launch a night attack with him regardless of past suspicions.
how?
Moreover, this person seems to be extremely loyal, dressing himself up as an out-and-out militant!
Chen Li, the master of suffering, was even more unlikely to give up. After withdrawing his troops, he, who had a violent temper, became so angry that he asked to go ashore by boat and personally go to Liu Ping's camp to interrogate the Zhongxing division.
Can Lu Li not go in this situation?
If one of our own has been greatly wronged, if the general does not protect him or uphold justice, how can he be made to sacrifice his life?
As a result, Li Shunchen temporarily took over the overseas coalition fleet, and Lu Li took the generals in a small boat to Liu Qingying's Zhongxing division to question the crime.
The two militaries have "cooperated" for such a long time, and everyone has seen each other face to face for the first time.
When Liu Wei saw Lu Li, before he could exchange greetings, he saw Chen Li coming out from behind, grabbing the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army flag, and tearing it into two pieces on the spot.
This scene made all the generals in the West Route Army Camp stunned. They all knew that the navy had been wronged. The hundreds of wolf soldiers who were picked up by the Li Chao people were proof of this. However, they did not expect that Chen Li, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong and Guangxi Navy, would react so violently. .
On the side, Chen Li tore the handsome flag to pieces and still felt that he could not get rid of his anger. He did not give any face to him. He didn't care about any transgression. He pointed directly at Liu Wei's nose and cursed. From his mother to his wives and concubines, and then to his daughter, he greeted Liu Wei in front of all the soldiers. All over.
Liu Wei knew that he was in the wrong and did not scold him. He just slapped his chest to express his helplessness and defended with grievance: "There are no generals, so I can do it alone."
What does it have to do with us?
The generals of the West Route Army whispered in their hearts, feeling incredible. They were so talkative last night. They were all saying that the opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back, urging the admiral to quickly send troops to attack the city.
But it's hard to say this clearly. After all, it's the admiral and the immediate superior, not as confident as the navy, which is independent of the land battle sequence.
Seeing Liu Wei's heartbroken and innocent look on his face, Lu Li sneered in his heart.
But Chen Li couldn't listen at all and said bluntly:
I'm not interested in your explanation. Let's go to Governor Xing together and we can argue in front of Xing Junmen.
If the quarrel reaches this level, Xing Jie, a military sect, would not dare to make peace with him, and would definitely ask the court for instructions on what kind of background Liu Wei had, how his tongue would bloom like a lotus, and his skin would peel off even if he died.
At this point, Chen Li's anger dissipated a little, and he knew that he could not kill Liu Wei, eat his flesh, and sleep on his skin.
"Why bother the military? I will report to the imperial court immediately and ask your Majesty to make a decision." Lu Li said.
He's not here to be a mascot.
There are very few generals who can directly talk to the court and even the emperor. Even though Liu Wei is an admiral, he has the military commander Yang Hao, the military officer Xing Jie, and the supervisors around him. He is not qualified to write a letter unless the court takes the initiative to ask. .
The navy was different. He even had Shang Fang's sword, and he could also seek rewards for Li Shun-chen. Chief military officer Lu Li was even more in the emperor's heart.
"good!"
"The saint knows everything clearly and will definitely give justice to my fellow countrymen Pao Ze who died innocently in battle.
At the time of introduction, I asked you brothers to go to the Jiaofang Division to visit Admiral Liu’s mother, wife and daughter. It would not be in vain for my colleagues, hahaha. "
