Cui Chengxiu lay on a flat rock, breathing heavily and cursing: "Damn Li Congmao, there is no need to torture people like this!"
Lin Fengyu lay on the wooden boat and shouted to Cui Chengxiu: "You dare to say this in the sea."
Cui Chengxiu spat: "Sooner or later, the king will dismiss him and investigate him. Lin Laosan, tell me, he asked us to run out every day to check the sea surface. What to check? Do you think Japan really dares to send troops?"
Sergeant Jin Deyong held the oar and built a pergola with his hands to look south: "It is another sunny day, and there is no trace of the Japanese sergeant at all. In my opinion, it is just false information. I heard that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died a few days ago. Ashikaga Yoshimochi doesn't have much prestige and ability, so how could he send a large army to attack us?"
Lin Fengyu lamented endlessly.
Having said that, the problem is that as a small navy in Gyeongsang Province, they must obey the orders of the commander.
"That's fine. I heard that the brothers on the shore are undergoing special training every day. Yesterday, two guys died of exhaustion. I don't know if Li Congmao is killing people or rectifying the navy."
Lin Fengyu had a headache.
Kim Deok-yong, Choi Sung-soo and others are bitter.
Although Yuan Cheng, Pu Jun and others are corrupt and selfish, and are not supported by the navy, these two people do not bother about things after all. The sergeants can do whatever they want. They drink and gamble at night and sleep and go out of the camp during the day. They are free. very.
But Li Congmao was stern and powerful. He either chopped off his head or whipped him, and the corporal punishment was severe. It was obvious that these fat men could not run a long distance, and they were so tired that they could hardly breathe. They had to practice to death, and the result was really dead.
From lazy and reckless to as strong as a mountain, many people could not bear the two extreme transitions. There were constant complaints against Li Congmao in the navy. If it were not for the official title of Commander, many people would probably mutiny.
A general who had an official relationship once complained to Li Shufan, but the person who complained only came back with his head and not his body. There is no way to find anyone now, so I can only accept the training.
"If the ship can't be found, I don't know if the controller will kill anyone again."
Lin Fengyu was a little worried.
Jin Deyong swabbed the sea water, looked at the ripples, and said with a smile: "Kill, kill. It has nothing to do with us little soldiers anyway. I just hope that this life will be more stable. As you know, my mother-in-law is about to give birth."
"Haha, congratulations."
Cui Chengxiu became happy, stood on the rock, stretched out his arms to enjoy the pleasant sea breeze, looked at the sparkling sea in the distance, the smile on the corner of his mouth just bloomed, and then solidified instantly, his eyes widened, pointing to the distance, his mouth Repeatedly: "Ship, boat, boat..."
"What kind of boat is there?"
Jin Deyong straightened up and looked out, shuddering involuntarily.
Lin Fengyu's face was full of horror.
There are dots of white sails on the sea in the distance, like white clouds surging across the sea. Under the white sail, there are fierce-looking people holding weapons. They seem to be shouting something.
"Yes, it's a Japanese pirate!"
Cui Chengxiu finally shouted.
Jin Deyong's face turned pale and he corrected: "No, it's not Japanese pirates, it's the army of the Ashikaga Shogunate! The Japanese army is really coming!"
"Get aboard!"
Lin Fengyu shouted at Cui Chengxiu.
Cui Chengxiu quickly jumped on the boat, and the group rowed desperately and fled towards Busan Port. Lin Fengyu looked back and saw that the Japanese troops behind him were constantly closing the distance, and their speed was faster!
"Speed up or you won't be able to go back!"
Lin Fengyu shouted.
But there are only five sailors on this ship, and each Japanese ship has eight sergeants. Although they all go smoothly, they cannot keep up with the strength. In addition, although the Japanese ship is small, the tail of the oar for rowing is wide and can move the water. powerful.
After Lin Fengyu and others rowed desperately for more than ten miles, when they saw Busan Port in the distance, the Japanese fleet was only three miles away.
"quick!"
The instinct to survive overdraws physical strength.
Cui Chengxiu, Lin Fengyu and others tried their best. When they saw the navy outside Busan Port, they shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Li Congmao stood on a high place, staring at the vast Japanese navy in the distance, his expression extremely ugly. The number of ships in the Japanese navy alone far exceeded that of the North Korean Navy in Busan Port. Judging from its strength, there were not more than 20,000. There are also fifteen thousand!
With such a huge disparity, how to fight this battle?
Pu Jun ran over with his generals and said to Li Congmao: "The enemy is powerful and we must be invincible. At this time, we should retreat immediately and reserve our strength for counterattack."
Li Congmao glared at Pu Jun fiercely: "Should we retain our strength, or should we flee?! Reorganize the army and prepare to go to war! I want to see how much stronger the Japanese army is compared to the Japanese pirates!"
"Commander, there is no need to fight at this time, right?"
Park Kyun pointed to the sea.
There are thousands of enemy ships, and the number of naval ships on our side is less than 200. Their army is as powerful as a rainbow, and our army is crestfallen. What can we do with it? spell?
Unwilling to retreat, Li Congmao drew his sword and shouted to the navy officers: "Remember, this is Busan Port in Gyeongsang Province, and you are the navy here. Busan Port is here, you are here, Busan Port dies, you die! I I am willing to live and die with you and vow not to retreat!"
The words were loud enough, but not a single sailor responded.
There were shouts of killing in the distance on the sea, and the enemy had already chased them within three miles of the port.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!"
Li Congmao gritted his teeth, shouted and rushed down.
Pu Jun looked at his generals and said helplessly: "Fleeing without fighting, abandoning the chief officer and fleeing will be beheaded according to military law!"
"But the navy has already started running away..."
The general pointed at the disintegrated military camp.
Pu Jun saw the Japanese army starting to fire arrows, turned around and ran away, not forgetting to shout: "Brothers, leave quickly!"
What is military law or not? Let’s save our lives.
Li Congmao was shocked. The navy troops he had carefully trained for several days had no will to fight at all, and they didn't even have the idea of resisting. When they saw the enemy, their first instinct was to run away!
"Is this really the North Korean Navy?"
Li Congmao couldn't believe this scene.
When I fought against Japanese pirates many years ago, the sergeants were not so bad. How many years ago has the naval force become so bad? Li Congmao had seen the Ming Dynasty Navy. It had strict orders and forbidding, and its soldiers were mighty. It was a real navy capable of hundreds of battles!
Comparing the North Korean Navy with the Ming Dynasty Navy is simply an insult to the Ming Dynasty Navy!
Li Congmao waved his sword and stopped the fleeing sergeant: "Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
kill?
If you can kill one, can you kill them all?
If you don’t run away now, they will all be eaten by the Japanese army in a moment!
Li Congmao ruthlessly killed seven or eight sergeants, but he could not stop the navy from escaping. Looking at the port, the Japanese troops had already rushed in. They were landing, and they landed easily without any hindrance!
"Commander, withdraw."
Li Congmao's guards quickly persuaded him.
At this moment, Li Congmao seemed particularly helpless. Looking at the sea, countless enemy ships and enemies were invading North Korea and boarding his home country. However, the sergeants guarding here were on the run and they did not even resist.
war?
How can I, Li Congmao, block all the enemies by myself!
escape?
Do I, Li Congmao, also have to live with a stigma?
The battlefield did not give Li Congmao more time to think and lament about life, so the guards pulled Li Congmao and started running away.
Half an hour later, Hosokawa Yorimoto looked at the Busan Port that was easily captured, as well as the more than 200 captured ships, and the more than 300 slow-moving North Korean naval forces. He was somewhat surprised.
The intelligence does not say that there are three thousand sailors here, but it is a little less, but it is not like they can just run away without fighting.
It seems that Li Fangyuan's army is nothing but trash!
Hosokawa Yorimoto did not stop, the Shiba Yijuhui cleaned up the mess, and simply led all the troops to attack Changwon, seventy miles away. Although this is not the central hill of Gyeongsang Province, it is still an important city at the southern end of Gyeongsang Province that cannot be ignored. With a lot of supplies.
The direction in which Li Congmao retreated was Changyuan.
Considering that the Japanese army suddenly attacked and the Port of Busan fell without resistance, and no news of the Japanese invasion was received from the surrounding areas, Li Congmao did not forget to set several fires and burn down several houses during his retreat. , hoping to use the smoke column as a beacon to alert various places.
Seventy miles, no way to run down in one breath.
Li Congmao was really exhausted and hid in the woods to rest.
Hosokawa Yorimoto is very aware of the importance of logistics. Once Changwon is not captured or the supplies of Changwon are not secured, the sergeants who came across the sea can only live on three days of poor food. If the logistics problem cannot be solved within three days , there is a risk of starvation.
A forced march was necessary.
“Changwon’s dinner, move forward quickly!”
Hosokawa Yorimoto gave the order.
The temptation of eating should not be underestimated. These troops had exhausted a lot of energy after crossing the sea, but they still persisted. In one go, he passed by Li Congmao and others who were fleeing, and arrived at the gate of Changwon City.
Changwon City has not received any news of enemy invasion, and the city gates are wide open. By the time they react, Hosokawa Yorimoto has already led his men to the city.
Li Congmao stood on the mountain outside Changyuan City, with tears streaming down his face.
It's over.
It's all over!
The army of the Ashikaga Shogunate controls Changwon, which is equivalent to cutting off the Korean army's southward passage to Busan Port. They will completely establish a foothold here and fight calmly!
Let's go to Daqiu City.
Only by going there and meeting with Li Shufan, Li Leng and others can we hope to win back the victory.
Black smoke billows from Changwon Castle.
Countless men were killed, women were captured, and all the food, whether it was from the government, merchants, or common people, was looted.
Shiba Yoshitaka was even more excited when he heard that Hosokawa Mangen had captured Changwon Castle and received as much as 50,000 koku of grain.
With this batch of food, we have the capital to fight further.
Shiba Yizhong was stationed at Busan Port and arranged for sergeants to inform the Chikuzen army and forward it to the shogunate.
After receiving the news, the Chikuzen army began to cross the sea.
At the same time, Hatakeyama Motoguo and Akamatsu Hironobu, who were attacking the Korean navy in Jeolla Province, encountered the main forces of Zhengjin and Kangtaek navy near Geumao Island. The two sides launched a fierce naval battle. Zhengjin and Kangtaek navy were defeated due to lack of troops. More than five hundred people escaped!
The first round between the Ashikaga Shogunate and Matsukyo ended in a tragic defeat for Matsukyo.
