Without any surprise, this fleet composed of Pyros immediately transformed into the Hellfire God, exuding light and heat among the chaos.
Or:
Heat and death.
As long as it is nearby, the Japanese warship will quickly turn into a burning fireball, without any exception.
The sound of the Japanese crying for their fathers and mothers can be heard in the sea area of the main film. A gust of sea breeze blows, and the strange smell of burnt flesh permeates the ocean.
Plop! Plop!
This kind of blazing heat is unbearable, not only causing physical pain, but also injuries similar to a curse. Because of this, countless Japanese pirates would rather die in the bottomless sea than endure the pain of being burned by fire.
The fire was strong and the wind was blowing, and there were nearly a hundred thieves' ships. They were all simmered in an instant, and the sea was completely red.
The Japanese navy was in such a state of disarray under the surprise attack by unfamiliar weapons.
Correspondingly, the situation created by the Spitfire changed the direction of the war. This huge support fleet fell into panic and was forced to give up the idea of breaking through quickly and saving Honda Tadakatsu as quickly as possible.
Seeing that the enemy fleet, which was traumatized and still had the advantage in strength, was retreating bit by bit, Li Chao's navy couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The uncrowned Admiral Lu Li, who was at the center of the storm, had only one order after receiving the relevant news: to prohibit North Korean sailors from using fire attacks.
He had made up his mind to let the old general Deng Zilong return home safely, but he could not let these guys follow the historical path and set fire to the Ming army general's ship because they were still too excited.
It is undeniable that the people of the Li Dynasty were quite resourceful. In order to improve combat efficiency and kill as many enemies as possible, they piled a large number of branches on the warship.
And these are cut into similar lengths, with branches and leaves preserved as much as possible, fifteen are tied into a bunch, and exposed to the hot sun in advance until they are completely dehydrated.
Once an enemy ship is encountered, special sailors will be assigned to pick up the bundles of firewood and pour special deep-sea fish oil on them.
The damage caused by the Pyros of the Ming Dynasty was not as good, but there was still a certain probability of igniting the Japanese ship. In this way, it could mark the location, indicate the direction to the gunner, and ignite the opponent's ship's gunpowder store.
However, Lu Li felt that the risk was too great. Putting Deng Zilong in danger for this advantage was a completely loss-making deal!
First of all, he admired this veteran and did not want him to die in a foreign country and be buried in a foreign land. He had to carve his head out of wood and reluctantly ended up with his body intact.
Secondly, changing the fate of original famous figures will also improve post-examination evaluations.
This should be done both publicly and privately.
Of course, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and Lu Li is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt.
After a period of study, he realized that although the Ming and Dynasty coalition forces had established a certain degree of tacit understanding in combat, there were still many areas where they did not match each other, and it was impossible for their combat styles to change so quickly.
Based on this, he gave an order that may not necessarily take effect: If a fierce battle breaks out, Yi Sun-shin felt it was necessary to use their traditional firewood warfare method to avoid accidental damage.
Li Sunchen was a smart man and could understand what Lu Li was worried about.
Therefore, at the very beginning, we deliberately distanced the two parties so that they could take care of each other, but could not accidentally hurt each other...
In this way, under the simple but effective tactics, the Japanese ships were forced to retreat a certain distance, ending the ineffective tactics of bumping into each other like headless flies, while facing a confrontation while thinking about countermeasures.
Honda Tadakatsu, need to save!
But no one wants to turn the deserted lake into a torch, and follow the battleship to become a ghost in the deep sea.
the other side.
Even though Honda Tadakatsu's original belief was as firm as iron, as time went by, the controllable range was continuously compressed by the Ming armies on both sides, and there were fewer and fewer elite and familiar figures under his command, and he began to become anxious.
However, for an encirclement of this size by the Ming army, it was only possible to complete the siege when the strength and morale of the troops were at their best when the city was first besieged.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
At the moment, there was nothing he could do, so he had to order the whole army to hold on and wait for reinforcements to find a way to open a gap.
In Honda's vision, the most likely direction should be land.
There was no way, he really didn't think his navy could defeat the coalition forces overseas, because the opponent's firepower was so fierce that it was terrifying.
But the reality is extremely cruel.
If the reinforcements sent by Tokugawa could send a message to Honda Tadakatsu, Togoku Musou would come to the opposite conclusion and have some hope of breaking out on their own——
Live towards death and take the water route!
At this moment, there was no large fleet at all outside Sunchonwa City. There were only more than twenty scattered mixed warships, constantly cruising, responsible for delivering messages.
The main battleship is a giant turtle ship, with a group of demons sitting on it, led by black-maned horses and bull demons.
The total strength of the troops should be fully calculated and should not exceed one thousand.
As for the land and seamen staying in the city, after this period of fighting, their number was less than 2,000. It seemed that the offensive was very powerful, but in fact it was closely related to the fact that the general took the lead.
"My lord, are you sure you want to share the credit with this old boy Liu Wei?"
"If you just want to behead Honda Tadakatsu yourself, then I can do it for you and capture him alive and turn him into an animal waiting to be slaughtered."
Chen Li was covered in blood and was not in good condition, as were all the generals around him.
However, they looked in high spirits, as if as long as Lu Li gave the order, they would go out collectively to fulfill this promise.
"Don't underestimate the enemy."
"The credit that should be given to you will only be more, not less. I will write to the court and say that this battle depends on everyone's cooperation..."
Lu Li shook his head.
Only Liu Wei has a strong foundation and can use his life to consume Honda Tadakatsu to the point of exhaustion.
Anyway, he has no seal, so giving away some of his military exploits in return is not worth feeling bad about. The old boy also thinks that this deal can be done, and he is afraid that Lu Li will regret it midway, so he urgently sends a messenger to report:
At three o'clock in the night, the general offensive began, and the West Route Army launched a relentless charge.
Unlike the original attack on Daoshan, where everyone had their own thoughts and tied their hands, at this point, Liu Wei had no way to turn back. It is roughly estimated that his subordinates suffered more than 10,000 casualties in the battle.
Not to mention that Tokugawa Ieyasu sent a thousand fake Japanese heads, even if he doubled the number ten times, he would not agree.
If Honda doesn't die, Liu Wei will die!
The only difference is that the former's death date is within these two days, while the latter has to be escorted back to the court to go through the process and can live for a few more months.
"Set up the Crouching Tiger Cannon immediately to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall and trying to break out from our side."
Lu Li didn't want to take risks, and there was no need to take risks. He just had to sit back and wait for good news from Liu Wei.
"yes."
Seeing that the coach was resolute, Chen Li stopped persuading him and began to organize the artillery array and the defense zones of each battalion.
In fact, the killing of Honda Tadakatsu is only of great significance to the actor——
It is true that this world values the ability to kill generals, but it is far less important than the former, and it is more eager to gain command of the attack.
Therefore, after Lu Li promised to hand over the leadership of this battle to Liu Wei, he added additional conditions:
A thousand real Japanese heads.
This is used to reward the generals under his command.
