After hearing his words, Ii Naotaka's first instinct was that something was wrong!
Could it be that there is something wrong with the Ming army?
While worried, Ii Naotaka immediately grabbed the monocular again without saying a word, and quickly looked at the movement on the other side.
Along the long coastline of Busan, Japanese transport ships were docked, and a steady stream of land troops were landing. As for Busan Port, it seems that there are not many Ming sailors who have escaped from the warships to the shore. These are basically the same as what we saw before.
The only difference is that in the inland side, you can see dust rising from a distance, as if there is a long and wide earth dragon rolling towards Busan. This is……
Seeing this, Ii Naotaka immediately understood that Soyoshi was talking about this. After being stunned for a moment, he finally came to his senses. Could it be that this was the dust kicked up by countless cavalry galloping?
When he thought of this possibility, Ii Naotaka's body suddenly swayed, his face turned pale, and he whispered unconsciously: "This is impossible, this is impossible, where did the Ming army come from so many cavalry, this is impossible..."
At this time, on the Busan battlefield, although the roar of artillery had weakened, it was still ringing. The Japanese army's excited and proud shouts of killing became the mainstream voice on the battlefield. The sound was so loud that people on Tsushima Island could hear it clearly. Therefore, based on the distance of the dust, it is normal to hear no movement.
However, unlike Ii Naotaka and all other Japanese people, the Ming army officers and soldiers had seen many battles of the cavalry regiments, especially Li Dingguo and the others, who were cavalry troops themselves. From the noise of the battlefield, they keenly captured the movements of the cavalry regiments.
At this time, they were covering the gathering and retreat of their fellow sailors. After feeling some movement, they thought at first that they were overthinking it.
You know, in their opinion, the fighting strength of these Japanese people is really not comparable to that of Jianlu, and beating them is really a relatively easy morale. However, there were many Japanese soldiers, and their superiority in military strength showed up, making them feel that they were losing this battle. They were all thinking that if they had more troops on their side and some reinforcements came at this time, there would be no need to retreat at all. From their subjective point of view, they are very looking forward to the appearance of a supporting army.
Unexpectedly, just after a while, the ground seemed to tremble and vibrate, as well as the faint sound of thundering horse hooves, all proving that there were indeed a large number of cavalry galloping towards them. These situations, they could at least confirm a little bit. I know it's not that they overthink it, but that it's true. As a result, all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army became as excited as if they had been given a shot of blood.
"Aren't our more than 10,000 cavalry troops here? Where did these cavalry reinforcements come from?"
"The Japanese country has no cavalry, so our reinforcements must have arrived!"
"Yes, now that the Jianlu have been destroyed, only I, the Ming Dynasty, have a cavalry army. Our reinforcements have definitely arrived!"
"Perhaps the Governor has come to reinforce us with his main force, haha!"
"Yes, yes, reinforcements must have arrived from Liaodong. This is really amazing. Now, let's kill the Japanese pirates!"
"Finally no need to hold back anymore, kill all these Japanese pirates!"
"..."
As a result, the cavalry troops of Li Dingguo and Lu Dasuo, who had originally fought and retreated, immediately stopped retreating. The Japanese army, which had been attacking happily just now and wanted to catch up with the Ming army and prevent them from running away, immediately felt resistance, as if they had been poking at the window paper, but suddenly they poked an iron plate.
At this time, Li Dingguo happened to be with Zheng Zhilong. He was also one of the first people to react. After confirming that there was indeed a large number of cavalry galloping towards this direction, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly shouted at the sailors who were still scolding and urging them on. Zheng Zhilong, who acted quickly, said: "Commander, our reinforcements have arrived!"
"What?" Zheng Zhilong turned pale when he heard this, and turned to Li Dingguo and shouted, "Have reinforcements come from the Japanese army again?"
Li Dingguo listened happily, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He shouted to Zheng Zhilong again: "There are cavalry troops coming. They are at most five miles away from here. They must be our reinforcements."
After finishing speaking, seeing Zheng Zhilong's face looking a little stunned, he added: "And there are quite a few of them, they must be reinforcements from Liaodong!"
"Ah..." Zheng Zhilong was quite surprised when he heard this. At this time when reinforcements are needed most, have reinforcements really arrived? This...isn't this amazing? Is it Mazu’s blessing?
At this time, a while had passed, and the rumble of horse hooves could no longer be concealed by the movements of the Busan battlefield. Even Zheng Zhilong, who was not familiar with the cavalry, could confirm after just listening that a large number of cavalry were indeed galloping towards them.
Suddenly, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed and shouted overjoyed: "Really, the reinforcements have arrived, our reinforcements have arrived!"
When the Ming army officers and soldiers beside him heard this, they all expressed ecstasy.
When Li Dingguo saw this, his heart moved, and he immediately loudly ordered the Ming army soldiers around him: "Shout together to let all your comrades know that our reinforcements have arrived. Let the Japanese army know that our reinforcements have arrived!"
Under his command, the Ming army officers and soldiers all shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are here, kill the Japanese pirates!"
"Reinforcements have arrived, kill the Japanese pirates..."
If this voice was relatively small at first due to the small number of people, after only shouting twice, more Ming army soldiers immediately joined in the shouting.
Therefore, the shouts of "Reinforcements have arrived, kill the Japanese pirates" are louder than the other and spread further.
Later, this shout drowned out all other sounds on the Busan battlefield, as if there was only this extremely excited shout from the Ming army in the world.
The Japanese sailors on the Japanese naval warships and the Japanese soldiers who were disembarking and landing all heard the news. Suddenly, no matter what they were doing, they all stopped involuntarily.
Although most of them could not understand what the Ming army was shouting, they could understand the excitement in the shouts without using words to communicate.
One thing, they are very sure, the Ming army is very happy, they are very happy, that is to say, they have good things.
They have good things, but it is definitely not a good thing for the Japanese army!
All the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but become surprised and confused, wondering what was going on. All of a sudden, the sounds on the battlefield suddenly disappeared, and only the shouts of the Ming army soldiers continued.
In this way, between the shouts of the Ming army soldiers, the sound of the cavalry's hoofbeats was like thunder in the sky, and most of the Japanese heard the distant sound.
The newly arrived army soldiers may not be familiar with this sound, and they are still wondering. However, the Japanese sailors who had just experienced a cavalry charge should not be too impressed. Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.
For them, the power of the cavalry charge was too terrifying and could not be resisted by flesh and blood. Even with a shotgun in hand, it would not bring much psychological comfort to the cavalry charge.
In addition to being frightened, the Japanese sailors finally panicked.
"No, it's the Ming Cavalry that's coming!"
"The Ming Dynasty's reinforcements have arrived, but the cavalry is coming!"
"Oh my god, there is such a big movement, how many cavalry are coming!"
"..."
The Japanese cavalry had just suffered a big loss. At this time, when they heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves getting louder and louder, they no longer wanted to stay on land. Especially those Japanese sailors who have followed the army to attack Busan Port. Because the terrain here is flat, they understand that the cavalry here is the most terrifying. Therefore, they retreated immediately, how dare they stay here.
The Japanese army soldiers were originally stupid and bold. After all, they had never experienced a large-scale cavalry charge. But when they heard the panicked shouts of the Japanese sailors and saw the Japanese sailors escaping, they immediately panicked.
One thing is very clear, if the cavalry was not powerful, it would be absolutely impossible for the Japanese sailors to escape like this!
At the beginning, the Japanese army soldiers hesitated on the spot, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. However, when Li Dingguo and Lu Da's troops, stimulated by the arrival of reinforcements, regained their morale and seemed to have infinite strength, they began to counterattack. These Japanese army soldiers saw the impact of the cavalry charge. Power.
Hearing it getting louder and louder, it seemed that the only sound between heaven and earth was the rumble of horse hooves. One can imagine how many reinforcements there were from the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese army soldiers no longer had the courage to continue fighting. They followed the Japanese sailors. Behind him, he quickly fled to the boat.
Earlier, Zheng Zhilong's men were reluctant to evacuate the warship. As soon as they heard that reinforcements had arrived and his army colleagues began to fight back, they immediately ran back to their place as fast as possible without waiting for Zheng Zhilong's orders. On his own warship, at the same time, Hokkien, Dengzhou dialect, Liaodong dialect and so on can be heard everywhere.
"Damn it, finally we don't have to retreat, just kill those Japanese pirates!"
"I almost lost my face to see people. I'm going to vent my anger!"
"..."
Zheng Zhibao, who was deploying explosives in the cabin to blow up the ship, didn't hear the sound. Suddenly he saw the sailors rushing back to the ship, and he was a little dumbfounded: What is going on?
But soon, he knew that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had arrived!
Immediately, this news also made him overjoyed, and he quickly got out of the warship and came to the shore to learn about the situation from his brother.
Once we got to the shore, the situation was already clear without asking.
"Kill..." The sound of killing was shouted in the distance, accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves, one after another.
What couldn’t be more clear is that Ming reinforcements have arrived!
…………
Different from the ecstasy of the Ming army, all the Japanese watching the battle on Tsushima Island did not make a sound. Everyone, like the clay Buddha in the temple, remained motionless, just staring blankly at the other side.
