In the Deshan camp, flames suddenly appeared everywhere. With the help of the sea breeze, it suddenly spread like a prairie fire, spreading rapidly and the flames soared into the sky.
After a hard day's work, many of the Japanese woke up only after being burned by fire. They struggled to survive, but soon fell down and became immobile.
In just a moment, the camp was in chaos. There were Japanese fleeing everywhere, and it was impossible to tell who was from whom. It was common for them to be stabbed in the face.
The soldiers of the Ming army who were on sentry duty at high places were also raided at the beginning, and several were directly shot by bows and arrows. The remaining soldiers of the Ming army did not think about resisting, but immediately threw out their torches, jumped into the darkness, and retreated to the seaside.
The warships docked on the coast quickly untied their cables and left the shore when there was movement. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but there were several ships on the opposite bank. As soon as there was a movement, the Ming army soldiers quickly entered their posts, the windows of the gun ports were pulled up, and the cannons were pushed out one by one. go out.
On the shore, Hauge led his white-armored soldiers and elite Japanese men, not caring about the camp, and immediately rushed to the coast to kill them. Looking at the tents set up on the shore, before seeing many people coming out, he grinned and said, "Kill me!"
Some Jianlu people immediately lit rockets and shot at the Ming army's tent; while most of the Jianlu people and the Japanese warriors rushed towards them with roars, ready to chop down the Ming army soldiers who escaped from the tent with a single blow.
But Bao Chengxian was beside Hauge and shouted anxiously: "Master, grab the warship first, then divide your troops to grab the warship..."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw something flashing past in the light of the fire.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a continuous sound: "Boom, boom, boom..."
"Bang bang bang..." Iron bullets hit the shore one after another, plowing out ditches. No matter the tents, the bodies of the captives or the Japanese, none of them could stop the iron bullets.
Haug was so frightened that he quickly jumped off the city wall and hid behind the city wall. He cursed bitterly: "Damn it, why are these Ming soldiers moving so fast? Are they sleeping on the powder barrel?"
After he finished cursing, he ordered his men around him: "Quickly, divide some people into attacking the warship for me. If you can't grab it, burn it for me!"
As he was talking, Bao Chengxian, who was also hiding next to him, was stunned when he heard what he said: The counterattack on the Ming army's warship seemed too fast, right?
Thinking this, he looked over.
I saw that many people on their side had already entered the tent area where the Ming army was camping. With the help of the firelight, Bao Chengxian did not see any Ming troops jumping out of the tent. More than one tent, many tents have been set alight by people on their side, but still no Ming army soldiers have appeared.
On the contrary, it can be seen that the Ming army warships on the beach have broken away from the shore and are still retreating to the sea. At the same time, more and more warships began shelling.
"Boom, boom, boom..." As the firelight shone, you could see deep ditches being plowed out on the shore from time to time, and many warriors here were smashed to pieces.
"No, I've fallen into a trap!" When Bao Cheng first saw this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat as this thought flashed through his mind.
But then, he couldn't figure it out. The plan was foolproof. When he lurked all the way, he didn't find anything unusual. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Ming army to detect it first. How could he fall into the trap?
I remembered that before the war started, I had carefully checked the news coming out from within. Everything was business as usual, and there was nothing strange at all!
Thinking about this, Bao Chengxian listened to the roar of the Ming army's artillery at sea and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Ming army has always been so cautious and always on guard against being attacked?
This...this is impossible!
He was stupid here. At this time, Hauge had also noticed something was wrong and shouted angrily: "What's going on? Why are all the Ming troops on the boat and all the tents in the camp are empty? What's going on?"
"Master, the Ming army seems to be on guard!" A white-armored soldier next to Hauge replied with a gloomy expression.
Hauge himself is used to fighting, and he actually already knows the answer. Turning around to look at the Tokuyama camp behind me, I saw fleeing Japanese everywhere. Fires were shooting into the sky, and the houses that had been built were also burning.
If this was an ambush by the Ming army, it didn't look like it. If you really had to know in advance, would you be burned like this? Then there is only one answer. The Ming army is very cautious and always on guard.
Watching the warships on the sea getting further and further away from the coast, the men who had rushed to the seaside could still shoot a few rockets at the ship, but at this time, they were already beyond the range and could not fire at all. On the contrary, the artillery on the Ming army's warship continued to roar. It may be that because of the night, loading is not easy, and the speed of bombardment has also slowed down.
Seeing this, Hauge was very angry and slapped his palm on the city wall, making a "pop" sound: After all the hard work, he just wanted to eliminate the Ming army here. However, the Ming army was so cautious that he fell short of the success. Just burning this camp, how much value is it?
"Master, beware of the Ming army's counterattack after dawn!" Bao Cheng first thought about making up for the mistake and quickly reminded Hauge.
After hearing this, Hauge didn't respond to him. He just stared at the Ming army warships on the sea with his eyes wide open and looked at the Ming army warships on the sea with a look of reluctance: I'm really angry!
As he watched, Hauge's very angry face suddenly turned into surprise. He pointed in the distance and said, "What's going on? The Ming army has withdrawn?"
At this time, the sky in the east showed a slight hint of dawn, and the line of sight became a little clearer.
Bao Cheng looked first and saw that the Ming warship was getting farther and farther away from the coast and was about to disappear into the sky.
"..." The Ming army didn't even try to recapture Deshan and just ran away?
For a moment, Bao Chengxian was a little confused.
At this time, Haug's men all gathered towards him, and one of the white-armored soldiers reported a little depressedly: "Master, only fifteen Minggou were killed in total. Fifty-six of our brothers died and two were injured." Fifteen of them were all injured by the Ming army’s artillery.”
Calculated in this way, if we do not count the destruction of the Deshan camp of the Ming army, it would be a loss.
He originally thought that this magical surprise attack, which he had not thought of beforehand, would definitely catch the Ming army by surprise. If it could severely damage the Ming army, it would greatly relieve his pressure.
Thinking of this, Hauge was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood.
Seeing him like this, Bao Chengxian comforted him and said: "Master, maybe the Ming army in Xiaguan is not so vigilant and can wipe out the five thousand Ming army over there, which is also a big blow to the Ming army! "
After hearing this, Hauge glanced at him sideways, obviously not believing it.
Bao Cheng was frustrated and had no choice but to walk up to the top of the city and start looking around.
Everything that can be burned has been almost burned. There is smoke everywhere and there are still residual fires burning. Japanese corpses can be seen everywhere, and the aroma of meat can be smelled in the sea breeze.
In addition, many Japanese who escaped with their lives were herded together, huddled together and shivering.
The Deshan built by the Ming army was completely destroyed just by looking at it.
As he was watching, he suddenly heard Hauge shouting in his ear: "What should we do next?"
Bao Chengxian quickly turned to look at Hauge. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
In the previous plan, I felt that this sneak attack would definitely succeed. Therefore, they never thought that this situation would occur.
So, what’s next?
Bao Chengxian was in a daze, or racking his brains. Hauge was a little impatient, and asked again: "You little slave, you were the one who came up with the method of sneak attack on the Ming army. What should I do now? Are you talking about it?"
Being urged again, Bao Chengxian had no choice but to reply: "Master, let's consider the Ming army's counterattack first, right? Although they left by boat, they probably didn't know our true strength, so they went to move reinforcements. Wait. When the Ming army appears again, it will definitely be the main force attacking, and we have to guard against this!"
Hearing this, Hauge also turned his head and glanced at Deshan in the ashes, and said very unhappily: "It's just a fool's errand. If you don't get any benefits, then retreat."
Are you crazy to let him have a decisive battle with the main force of the Ming army? He wouldn't do that!
Now that he had made his decision, Bao Chengxian naturally did not dare to violate it, so he turned around and shouted to one of his men: "Set a fire to cook, and then take away the rest of the food!"
A white-armored soldier who had just rushed over happened to hear what he said and couldn't help but immediately took over the topic and said: "Where does the food come from? The Ming army's granaries on the shore are all empty!"
"..." Upon hearing this, not only Bao Chengxian, but also everyone including Hauge were dumbfounded.
They came to attack the Ming army. Of course they were lightly armed. How could they bring a lot of food? It was originally planned to capture Deshan and destroy the Ming army. Their food would naturally fall into their hands.
But I never expected that the Ming army would be so cautious. Not only did they sleep on the boat, they even had food on the boat!
Who knew that this was not over yet? The white-armored soldier who had just come over was holding a wooden sign in his hand and handed it to Haug: "Master, this is also found in the granary. I wonder what is written on it?"
After hearing this, Hauge took it and took a look. Suddenly, his expression turned extremely ugly. He spoke with a little trembling, handed the wooden sign to Bao Chengxian and asked: "Look... look at it... what's written on it?"
At this time, he hoped that his ability to recognize the three-legged cat Chinese characters meant that he had misunderstood the characters above, so he asked Bao Cheng to confirm it first.
Bao Chengxian had already vaguely seen some words on it when the white-armored soldier handed it to Hauge. At this time, seeing Hauge's expression was extremely bad, his heart suddenly sank. The hand he stretched out to take the wooden sign was a little Shaking. After finally taking it, he immediately took a closer look.
