Hearing this, Zong Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief again. If the Japanese country could win, he was right.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Ii Naotaka say to him again: "If my estimate is correct, the Ming Dynasty's army on land is probably only about five thousand. Haha, with this small force, even if we can fight, how?"
He was indeed right, Li Dingguo's troops only had about 5,000 troops.
When Zong Yicheng heard this, he was even more determined. Five thousand men and horses could drown 50,000 Japanese sailors by spitting at them.
Thinking like this, I just want to flatter Naotaka Ii, make everyone happy and liven up the atmosphere. However, before he could flatter Ii Naotaka, he heard another loud noise coming from the direction of Busan. So, he quickly turned around and looked. However, it is still difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
Naotaka Ii also heard it, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly picked up the monocular and looked at it.
Sure enough, as he expected, many Ming troops suddenly appeared on the coastline that was obviously not defended by many Ming troops before. Behind them, the dust raised did not fall. Obviously, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived.
At this time, Naotaka Ii was worried. If a large number of Ming troops really arrived, how could this battle be fought?
Although he does not feel inferior, he also understands that if the Japanese sailors are used to fight the Ming army on land, they will definitely not be able to defeat them with the same number.
At this moment, Naotaka Ii even thought about ordering the navy to retreat first.
But firstly, it was inconvenient to convey this order, and secondly, he had other options. He finally turned his head and looked at the sea on the other side. In the end, he did nothing. He just picked up the monocular and continued to observe the situation on the other side of Busan.
The navy that was sent out before was under the strict orders of Ii Naotaka. Therefore, after seeing the Ming army on the shore increased significantly, they still followed the original battle plan and continued to extend, extend, and extend to the coastline.
After Naotaka Ii looked at it for a long time, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he saw that the Ming army that came to the rescue this time saw that the number of troops present on the shore to resist the Japanese navy was only about five thousand. This means that the total land strength of the Ming army is only about 10,000. The Japanese navy has at least 50,000 troops, which still occupies an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
With this thought in his mind, Naotaka Ii did not panic even though he saw the Japanese sailors who landed were constantly falling down. Because he believed that the final victory would definitely belong to the Japanese country.
The Japanese naval warships were still extending, and those Japanese naval forces that were landing also slowed down their landing speed, just dragging the Ming army on the shore, preventing them from quickly ending the war and giving them the opportunity to reinforce elsewhere.
It has to be said that there are still a few generals on the side of the Japanese navy. This kind of combat method greatly takes advantage of the strength of the Japanese navy.
In this way, after there are at least about 10,000 Japanese sailors extending to a distance, they will probably be able to land calmly without being blocked by the Ming army.
At the Busan Port, Li Dingguo, under the banner of Zheng Zhilong, hurriedly drove his horse to arrive and said seriously to Zheng Zhilong: "Shuai Lu has arrived, but the Japanese army took advantage of their strength and continued to attack regardless of casualties. Our army is insufficient. The disadvantage is too obvious. The navy comrades on the commander's side must be prepared to retreat!"
Zheng Zhilong also did not expect that after the Japanese country experienced such a major blow, it would still try its best to land. Although after the discussion last night, we still have a hand to deal with the Japanese army. However, if something unexpected happens again and the navy does not retreat, it will be very dangerous.
With this in mind, he did not respond to Li Dingguo immediately, but turned his head and looked in the direction of the port.
His fleet was still bombarding Japanese navy warships. However, at this time, there were mostly wrecks of Japanese naval warships outside the port. Outside the wreckage, there were still Japanese navy warships blocking the way, obviously not giving the navy a chance to leave the port.
If Busan really couldn't stop the Japanese army's crazy attack, and the navy abandoned the warships and retreated ashore, this would be really difficult for Zheng Zhilong to accept. Therefore, he thought in his mind, it was better to break through the Japanese navy's blockade. As long as we break out of the siege and take advantage of the Ming Dynasty warships, we should be able to evacuate the battlefield even if we cannot withstand the siege of so many Japanese naval forces!
Zheng Zhilong thought so and carefully observed the enemy's situation outside the port. Li Dingguo is still waiting here. He must reply to Li Dingguo as soon as possible.
However, when Zheng Zhilong looked at it, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank and his face became particularly ugly.
Before he could speak, he heard Zheng Zhibao pointing to the outside of the port and shouting: "Brother, look, it's Hongyi's warship!"
Hongyi's warship was hiding behind the Japanese naval warship. Zheng Zhilong also saw it just now, so his face became very ugly.
Although the naval warships of the Ming Dynasty were better than those of the Japanese navy, the speed of the warships was still not as fast as that of the Hongyi warships. Moreover, Hongyi's sailors were also very accurate in firing their cannons. To be honest, Zheng Zhilong was not confident that he could lead the warships of the Ming Navy to break through the siege of the Japanese navy and also get rid of the entanglement of the Hongyi warships.
"These Hongyi are so brave, they actually joined forces with the Japanese!" Zheng Zhibao shouted angrily, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let them stay in Taiwan!"
"These should be the Hongyi in Nagasaki." Zheng Zhilong said with a cold face, "But there is no difference, they are all from the same group of Hongyi. They dare to add insult to injury. I will take revenge after I return!"
At this point, he was also decisive and made an immediate decision. He immediately said to Li Dingguo: "Okay, if we still can't defeat the Japanese sailors, I will arrange for them to evacuate ashore immediately."
While they were talking, Li Dingguo also glanced at the outside of Busan Port, obviously looking for traces of Hongyi. It was clear from his expression that he was not interested in Hongyi. At this time, after hearing that Zheng Zhilong had made a decision, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted, and solemnly said: "Take care and say goodbye!"
"Take care!" Zheng Zhilong also returned the greeting with cupped fists.
Shortly after Li Dingguo left on horseback, the sound of Ming Jin sounded from the shore: "Dang Dang Dang..."
This sound came out one after another. When the Ming army soldiers who were resisting the Japanese sailors along the coast heard it, they slowly retreated and then hid in the woods.
Seeing that the Ming army retreated, the Japanese sailors who were fighting against the Ming army were all overjoyed. Their morale was immediately boosted. They yelled and sped up, landed on the shore and killed them.
…………
On Tsushima Island, through the monocular telescope, Naotaka Ii took in everything. Seeing that the Ming army could no longer resist the retreat, and the Japanese sailors did not stop them anymore, they rushed ashore one after another and disappeared into the woods. He finally felt relieved, put down the monocular and said with a smile: "That's almost it. Prepare the ship. I will The officer wants to go to the other side to have lunch!"
Upon hearing this, Zong Yicheng was also overjoyed and said quickly: "Sir, the Ming army is going to be defeated?"
After hearing this, Ii Naotaka was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of "gulu gulu". Suddenly, his old face turned red.
I didn't expect to pay too much attention to the war, but my stomach was already growling with hunger.
Fortunately, people are old and thick-skinned. Naotaka Ii's expression immediately returned to normal. He reached out and handed the monocular telescope to Zong Yicheng, and then said calmly: "You can see for yourself, wait until I go to North Korea." , you can go there with me!"
After saying that, with another "Gulu" sound, he turned around and walked back. He had to eat something first.
Soyoshige, who respectfully received the monocular, naturally heard Ii Naotaka's stomach growling, and immediately remembered that Ii Naotaka had said that he was going to bed last night. He seemed so calm. Not only did he accept the telescope in the morning, I came here with two dark circles under my eyes and even forgot to eat breakfast. Is this calm or not?
Thinking like this, Zong Yicheng couldn't help but label Tieshan, the powerful boss of Japan: a hypocritical boss who wants to save face!
Of course, he would never say this thought out loud. Instead, he respectfully watched Naotaka Ii go, then picked up the telescope, followed Naotaka Ii's example, started playing with the telescope, and carefully observed the other side of Busan. battle situation.
He could see that at this moment, except for the Ming troops on the Busan Harbor side who were still resisting, all the Ming troops on the other coastlines had retreated. Obviously, knowing that he couldn't beat him, he must have run away! On the Japanese side, almost all the Japanese sailors have washed ashore. Judging from the movement, they should have gathered and started to advance towards Busan Port.
Just by visual inspection, there were at least 30,000 Japanese sailors who landed. With so many troops and a land and water attack, it's no wonder that Naotaka Ii went to have a meal with peace of mind.
It is rare to use a monocular telescope, and it is rare to see the Japanese defeat the Ming Dynasty. Zong Yisheng held the monocular and stared at the other side. At the same time, he kept evaluating the progress of the battle and guessing when the Japanese sailors would finally gather to encircle Busan. Hong Kong, completely annihilating the Ming army.
Gunpowder smoke came out in bursts, and it was possible to deduce where the Japanese sailors had advanced.
"Haha, we will arrive at Busan Port soon. The moment of glory has arrived!" Zong Yicheng concluded with a smile in his heart.
However, just as he finished laughing, he heard faint thunder.
This movement made Zong Yicheng put down his telescope and look at the sky. If it rains soon, it will be very disadvantageous for the Japanese army.
However, the sun is hanging there in the sky, the weather is clear, and there are no dark clouds at all!
Zong Yicheng was stunned for a while and finally came back to his senses. Could it be that the rumbling sound was the sound of countless war horses galloping?
In this matter, I don't blame him for his slow reaction. In fact, let alone him, even Ii Naotaka has never seen a battle involving tens of thousands of cavalry. Therefore, it is understandable that he did not think of it immediately when he heard the sound of tens of thousands of horses galloping. .
