Chapter 234

At this time, Wu Weizhong was already on a four-foot-long bird boat, leading more than [-] small bird boats and blessing boats to charge towards Hengdao, and only smiled faintly after hearing the sound of the cannon.

Soon, Wu Weizhong led more than [-] warships to bypass the large number of Japanese warships gathered outside Hirado Island, and directly approached Futian Port.

Tachibana Michiyuki from the Otomo family, Naoshima Naoshige from the Ryuzoji family, and Takanobu Matsuura and Muneyoshi Nao from the Ryuzoji family. At this time, they could only watch Wu Weizhong wantonly smash the people gathered there in Hirado Port. Ordinary Guan Ship and Kohaya Ship rushed to the Kamata area of ​​Matsuura Peninsula.

Shimadzu Yoshihiro also saw this scene when he retreated in embarrassment, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth.

Originally, Yoshihiro Shimadzu planned to make a breakthrough in the center, and then pretended to be defeated to lead the main force of the Ming army into the narrow vortex sea formed by Hirado Island and Matsuura Peninsula. More than 3000 small boats of these big names gathered to fight against the main force of the Ming army.

This is a tactic commonly used by the Shimadzu family.

Commonly known as fishing wild volts.

However, Wu Weizhong was not fooled, and directly used the tactics of "you hit yours and I hit mine", keeping the large bird boats as the main force still and forming a battle line, and he only took two hundred small and medium bird boats around. Open the Hirado Strait, where Japanese ships gather, and land at Kamata.

"The Tang people were not fooled, so they had to abandon the ship and go ashore, and drive them back to the ship while their footing was not secure!"

Veteran Admiral Tachibana Michiyuki, who was guarding the sea area east of Hirado Island with a large number of his own ships, spoke first with a sullen face.

Just as Toyotomi Hideyoshi referred to Ming Dynasty as "Tang entry", Japanese people often refer to the officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty as Tang people.

Because Datang had a deep impression on the Japanese.

Naoshima Naoshige, who is also an important minister of the daimyo Ryuzoji family, also echoed: "That's right, the plan to ambush the Tang people on the water has failed, and we must change our strategy as soon as possible!"

Matsuura Takanobu also agreed and said: "Then let's go now without waiting for his Shimadzu's return!"

Michiyuki Tachibana and Naomi Nabeshima both nodded.

As a result, those daimyos who did not follow Yoshihiro Shimadzu to attack the Ming army began to abandon their ships and go ashore, and brought their soldiers to Futian.

Wu Weizhong has successfully broken through the almost unobstructed Futian Bay and landed here.

But not long after, the sentry boat reported to Wu Weizhong that a large number of Japanese pirates had crossed the sea and came from the west.

Wu Weizhong couldn't help putting down "Three Kingdoms" after hearing it, and said with a smile: "It's pretty fast!"

Then, Wu Weizhong ordered: "Neither the Korean auxiliary soldiers nor the navy will go ashore first. The marine infantry and the Yiding auxiliary soldiers will all go ashore first, and the front and side cars will be transported ashore first, ready to defend against the enemy!"

"Yes!"

As a result, a large number of Jurchen Yiding auxiliary soldiers, under the command of the officers and soldiers, first pushed the vans carrying the guns to the shore.

And it didn't take long for the drivers to form the sidecars into car walls, with several layers inside and out, and line them up on the snow.

Ming general Chen Ziluan grabbed the snow and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he watched a large number of Japanese pirates wearing bamboo armor coming towards him, but he just smiled contemptuously. After these Japanese pirates approached, he said: "Let's go!" Heavy artillery!"

Not long after, the ground trembled suddenly, and then many shells were sent into the camp of these Japanese pirates, crushing one Japanese pirate on the spot, and then rushed up brazenly with the minced meat tissue, plowing a bloody path directly.

But these Japanese pirates did not retreat because of this.

Because the Wa Kingdom is currently in the Warring States Period and has been fighting for years, most of these Japanese pirates are veterans who have experienced hundreds or dozens of battles, and they are not so afraid of war.

What's more, Tachibana Michiyuki and Naoshima Naoshige are the elites of the Otomo family and Ryuzoji family.

Therefore, some Japanese pirates still rushed to the wall of the Ming army's van, and also picked up the firecrackers to shoot at each other.

The Japanese pirate firearms introduced to Portugal were called iron cannons, which were heavy-duty matchlock guns. They were very advanced firearms in this era, but it was still difficult to give full play to their advantages in front of the Ming army's chariot formation.

Because the Ming army's chariot formations concentrated a large number of Franc cannons and iron-core copper tire cannons, plus there were also a large number of heavy-duty firecrackers, and there were chariot walls as bunkers, so these Japanese pirates still had to be beaten.

When these Japanese pirates rushed over, the guns in the window of the van opened fire all at once, killing a large number of Japanese pirates to the ground immediately.

Seeing this, Tachibana Daoxue had no choice but to order the soldiers on his side to suspend the attack.

Seeing that Michiyuki Tachibana had stopped attacking, Naoshima had to order to stop the attack.

The same is true for Matsuura Takanobu and Soyoshi Nao.

Wu Weizhong saw that the Japanese pirates were afraid of the firearms in the car array on his side, so he ordered again: "Open the door and let the front car go out to fight. Yi Ding and the sword and shield soldiers put on armor, use the front car as a cover, and rush over to kill them!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Weizhong continued to read his "Three Kingdoms" amidst the sound of drums.

At this time, the Ming army really launched a large number of box cars, and they came to the places where Japanese pirates such as Tachibana Doxue concentrated.

The box car was invented by Yu Dayou. It is mainly used for frontal attack. There are gunners or musketeers shooting in the box car, and there are also heavy armored infantry hiding behind the box car, so that they can form multiple arms with the gunners in the box car at any time. combat unit.

The side car is Qi Jiguang's masterpiece, mainly for defense, it can directly form the wall of the car in wartime, and then a large number of firecrackers and artillerymen get on the car and shoot at the enemy through the hole.

Today's land infantry of Ming Dynasty can be regarded as combining the respective characteristics of these two types of tanks, forming a combat mode that integrates offense and defense.

Later, it was also learned by Nurhachi, and it became a common tactic of the Eight Banners heavy armored infantry. Nurhachi also gave an order that no infantry without a chariot should not attack.

Turn the words back.

When a large number of front cars approached the Japanese pirates driven by the drivers, the leader of the Japanese pirates, Tachibana Michiyuki, and others were all unfamiliar with this style of play.

You know, the Japanese pirates have just mastered the three-stage attack and know how to form a firearms unit.

But no matter how unfamiliar, the Japanese pirates can only fight recklessly at this time, after all, they are defending their own territory.

As a result, a large number of Japanese pirates' iron cannons began to attack, and the side cars that were beaten up with cowhide slammed.

And when the box car approached these Japanese pirates less than fifty paces away, suddenly a large number of barbarians, namely the Jurchens and Saurons, who were conscripted to fight against the Japanese for just a few feet of cloth or a few buckets of grain, Directly wearing heavy armor rushed towards these Japanese pirates.

At the same time, the sword and shield soldiers in the southern soldiers also rushed forward in armor and shields.

Lihua Daoxue and other Japanese pirates suddenly saw many iron men who were much taller than him rushing out from behind the car, and smashed them at the top of his head at random with weapons such as mace, tomahawk and hammer.

At this time, Li Juexian held a heavy hammer and threw it at a Japanese bandit. The Japanese bandit was quick-sighted and drew his sword to block it. As a result, the Japanese sword in his hand broke directly, and his whole body was hit on the head by the heavy hammer in Li Juexian's hand. Cracked and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, another Japanese pirate was about to slash at Li Juexian with a knife, but his knife slashed on Li Juexian's heavy armor without any damage to him, so he was discovered by Li Juexian, and then he was condescendingly smashed into a pulp by Li Juexian.

The Yi Ding and sword and shield soldiers who could be selected into the army were tall and mighty, not to mention the Japanese were short and did not have heavy armor, and the Japanese sword was indeed not suitable for melee combat, so the Japanese pirates were at a disadvantage in melee combat.

The reason why the Japanese do not have much heavy armor is naturally related to their limited iron resources. What's more, they are still in the Warring States period and need to make a lot of weapons, so they can only concentrate iron ore on weapon making, which also causes the destruction of iron ore. Except for a small number of nobles and their personal guards wearing armor, other Japanese pirates basically only wear bamboo armor.

Soon, the Ming army, relying on heavy armor and stronger physique, killed these Japanese pirates in succession and retreated, blood flowing like rivers.

Some Yi Ding from Liaodong directly shot and killed the Japanese military military officer hiding behind with heavy arrows.

Tachibana Daoxue was hit by an arrow in the leg at this time, which affected the speed of retreat.

So it didn't take long for Li Juexian to catch up here and rushed towards him.

The dozen or so warriors around Lihua Daoxue tried their best to block it, but it was of no avail. They could only watch helplessly as Li Juexian, a heavily armored military official of the Ming Dynasty, was getting closer and closer to the direct patriarch.

Tachibana Doxue was a hero of the Otomo family during the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, and also the mainstay of the Otomo family. Because he used a knife to strike lightning when he was young, he was known as the God of Thunder, and he was well-known in the Wa Kingdom.

Seeing this, Lihua Daoxue had to pull out her so-called Thunderclap Japanese Sword, and rushed towards Li Juexian reluctantly.

jump!

Suddenly, the knife broke and the hammer fell.

Lihua Daoxue held a broken knife in his hand, sat on the ground, his head was covered with blood, and then fell to the ground.
