Chu Qing's luck has always been bad.

He simply didn't know that not all the southern naval forces were attacking.

The Japanese thieves are not fools, and the Japanese thieves' ruling class are not a bunch of losers.

Ryukyu Island could not be attacked for a long time. Even if the troops attacking the island left and never came back, even the warships could not come back. This was also the case with the Uchijin belt. Even after belatedly, they realized that something was wrong.

Based on incomplete clues, Yingdao immediately deployed the troops of the two generals to the south, which was the main camp of the Southern Fleet Army.

There are two reasons. The first reason, although the possibility is not high, has not been ignored. Among them, the warships of the Chang people will hit Yingdao.

The second reason is to mobilize warships to the south and continue to build warships. By then, a large number of troops will be on board, which can be defended or attacked.

In fact, the Ying thieves don't know much about the situation, and many of them are based on guesswork. Logically speaking, Dachang Confucianism is supreme, and they are not Ying people. They cannot do such shameless things as undeclared war. As for Goguryeo, they have sent people over to ask. Goguryeo is very confused. It is just the west eight west eight west eight eight. Ryukyu Island is not their people at all.

Goguryeo was confused, and the Japanese thieves were also confused.

However, the Ying thieves have a remarkable characteristic, that is, they are extremely aggressive. Aggression is woven into their bones. They don't even need to put themselves in someone else's shoes. They can be regarded as a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

So when Chu Qing came, the southern naval forces had already been mixed and filled in part of the troops. This battle was so difficult. It can't be said that it was all difficult. It can only be said that it was not as smooth as expected and consumed a lot of money. There are more than 20% more weapons.

Compared to Chu Qing, Brother Dajun on the west side went extremely smoothly, so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

"These are all warships that transport food and grass?"

Brother Dajun raised his clairvoyant eyes and looked at the camp that was in a sea of ​​fire. He couldn't figure it out: "There are many places on the west side that can penetrate deep into the island. How can the defense be so lax?"

Lin Kui was not too sure: "Then continue...burning?"

The confusion on Brother Dajun's face faded, replaced by ferociousness.

The firelight reflected the resolute face of Brother Dajun.

"Ashore, the scouting horses go first, followed by the infantry. They advance for thirty miles and unload fifty barrels of kerosene. If there are no enemy troops, the scouting horses and infantry retreat to the shore, light the kerosene barrels, and burn the mountains and forests!"

At this time, the east side of Yingdao was in the same situation as Chu Qing's side. It was in a bitter battle, much more serious than Chu Qing's side.

However, this bitter battle was not due to the large number of Japanese thieves or fierce resistance, but because of Wen Ya's decision.

Before the wound on his arm healed, Wen Ya had already led the Jiao camp troops like a blade to pierce through the Japanese camp on the coast.

Chu Qing said, destroy the ship, surround the island, and burn the shore.

Before these three steps are completed, no one is allowed to go deep into Yingdao. This is a dead order and everyone must abide by it.

After the three steps were completed, the flag ship circled Yingdao to deliver messages to other armies.

Wen Ya did not obey this military order.

At the beginning, this was done according to the plan, and nineteen warships, as well as large and small non-combat ships were set alight under the cover of darkness.

But when Wen Ya stood on the bow of the ship and observed the enemy's situation with her clairvoyance, she discovered something. To be precise, she saw a horse farm.

After seeing the racecourse and the horses in the racecourse, Wen Ya went crazy and ordered to land and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

A Yi, who cooperated with Wen Ya, did not dissuade Wen Ya. Instead, he carried the iron gun and moved forward. Twenty large ships, 1,500 people, and divine arm crossbows and gunpowder crossbows opened the way and headed straight for the horse farm.

Flames shot into the sky, more and more Japanese thieves fell, and more and more soldiers fell on the battlefield.

In war, there has never been such a laughable thing as zero casualties.

There have been records of zero casualties in history. This kind of "zero" is only relative. Battle losses are very small. It is called zero casualties just to sound nice. Unless the disparity in numbers between the two sides is too large, they surrender directly without fighting.

There were nearly 3,000 Japanese thieves on the north side of the fleet. Even with the divine arm crossbows and gunpowder crossbows, it was still a hard fight.

Chu Qing had always thought that the enemy would be so frightened that they would pee out of fear or even flee when they saw a magical weapon like gunpowder for the first time.

But in fact it is not the case. You will be shocked, puzzled, stunned, and scared. However, after using it so many times, no enemy has ever been frightened to the point of peeing and then fled or surrendered without wearing armor.

People are afraid of unknown things, but war is inherently fearful. When fear reaches the extreme, the body will no longer be dominated by fear.

The same is true for the Japanese thieves, with flames rising into the sky and roaring sounds, and they fight with swords, looking like evil ghosts.

Wen Laoliu and A Yi each led the way, both aiming at the racecourse.

They were all veterans of the battlefield and did not dare to extend the battle line too long. A route paved with flesh and bones finally connected to the racecourse.

Bai Biao rushed over and split the horse fence with a knife.

Wen Ya shouted: "Catch some, keep some, don't let them all run away."

A Yi and his men blocked the Japanese thieves from forming an encirclement. After blowing up all the gathered Japanese thieves with gunpowder crossbows, they rushed into the enemy formation and swept across with spears.

"It's done, retreat!"

Wen Ya shouted loudly, and the soldiers led hundreds of ponies towards the beach.

Naval battles, and arson, do not require war horses at all, not to mention that these war horses are "sick horses", let alone mounted combat. Many sick horses have difficulty running.

Wen Ya did not obey Chu Qing's military orders precisely because of these sick horses.

Wen Laoliu and A Yi could tell at a glance through their clairvoyance that most of these sick horses were suffering from horse hoof plague.

Equine distemper, also called horse distemper, or horse distemper.

The ancients did not understand viral infectious diseases, but they knew that the fatality rate of this disease was very high. Horses, mules, and donkeys would all become sick, and once they were infected, they would spread to a large area.

This is Wen Ya's purpose, to release these sick horses into the mountains and forests to infect more wild horses or war horses. In addition, according to the actual situation, these sick horses will be released into various places of the Japanese thieves. Military camp area, infecting their horses.

The Chang people came here just to burn, not to fight on land, and not to fight with cavalry.

But horses also have many functions besides fighting. If this kind of horse plague spreads on a large scale, the consequences can be imagined. Both transportation and military reports and orders will be affected.

In addition to the sick horses that were released, some were brought back to the shore. The gunpowder crossbow still played a key role. The Japanese thieves had already begun to flee, and they fled a little late.

Xiao Yi led others to help the injured soldiers back to the ship, and also carried the corpses of the dead soldiers back to the ship.

Everyone knows that originally, so many people should not have died. Originally, there was no need to log in.

But no one questioned Wen Ya's order. It was worth it. At least, they thought it was worth it. They just didn't know whether those who died in the battle thought it was worth it, or whether their relatives thought it was worth it.

I can't think about this kind of thing, because this is war, a war that cannot be thought about deeply.
