038 [Sichuan annihilation of the enemy]
Li Shunchen's victory in the South China Sea made the invaders very angry. Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued an order to Jiugui Jialong: "What is your mother doing? Tengtang Gaohu's transport ship has been completely annihilated, and your mother is still rectifying its armaments on the island. Hurry up and send troops to destroy the * navy!"
Jiugui Jialong looked at the general order and said to himself aggrievedly, "Who let Gao Hu not listen to me? He was stunned to say that the sailors had all chiseled the boat by themselves. Before I could rectify the sailors, they would go on their own way. But!" Nine ghosts' eyes became cold in an instant: "When my invincible fleet goes on an expedition, * all the navy will have to finish!"
Under the great pressure of Guan Bai, Jiugui Jialong was stunned to rectify the navy before slowly driving out of Tsushima Island. This time, Li Shunchen will no longer face a weak transport ship, but Japan's toughest navy, commanded by Jiugui Jialong, known as the pirate.
At the end of May, Li Shunchen and Yuanjun's fleet met again. Goodbye to Yuanjun's fleet, and there were many more ships. It seems that Yuanjun has not rested for more than half a month. Alas! What's the need? He chiseled the ship and rebuilt it himself.
"All right!" Yuan Jun's eyes when he saw Ye Da at this time were full of resentment. It seemed that Yuan Jun had figured out that Ye Da wanted to abandon him and go to Li Shunchen.
Ye Da smiled awkwardly, but didn't expect to offend a general as soon as he came.
"Is there any news from the enemy?" Li Shunchen still pays the most attention to the battlefield.
"A Japanese fleet just occupied Sichuan Port the day before yesterday." After all, Yuanjun is the water messenger here, and he has a thorough understanding of the situation here.
"Don't talk nonsense! Let's go!"
This time, the fleets of the two sides totaled more than 80, including three giant warships - turtle ships! The army rushed to Sichuan Port. There is still some distance from Sichuan Bay, and Li Shunchen feels a quiet murderous atmosphere. This feeling is really different from the transport ship of Gaohu. It seems that the Japanese army has really moved this time.
When he was about to arrive in Sichuan, a soldier found a small Japanese reconnaissance ship on the river. The ship saw the sailors coming and quickly turned the bow to the inland sea.
"It seems that the enemy generals are very cautious this time!" Li Shunchen felt that this battle might not be easy to fight. He immediately ordered the whole army to temporarily stop moving forward.
"Why did you stop? It will be there soon!" Yuan Jun came to question.
"It's better to be careful. I have sent a reconnaissance ship to explore the enemy first in case of an ambush."
Sure enough! The detective reported that the Japanese army in Sichuan Port was ready to go to war. The coast of Sichuan is a coastal mountain range. The Japanese army placed many artillery on the mountainside and dug trenches at the foot of the mountain. The trenches were already full of Japanese soldiers with iron cannons. The red and white war flags of the Japanese army filled the coast and spread with the wind. There are more than 10 medium-sized houseboats docked on the shore, and there are no Japanese soldiers on it. It seems that the Japanese army has been prepared for a long time.
Li Shunchen frowned slightly. This battle can't be fought! Ye Da is also thinking: the Japanese army has excellent weapons and high-quality soldiers, and the landing on the beach is bound to be destroyed. Shall we kill their ship first?
Li Shunchen thought that the Japanese army was ready for battle, indicating that they had given up the warship, so the supplies on the ship must have been transferred to the shore. It was meaningless to just destroy the Japanese ships. The detective said that the number of Japanese troops on the shore was not less than 5,000, and they were all well equipped. This Sichuan Port is far away from Lishui Port. It's only a few days away. If they attack all the way from land to Lishui, won't they take away my nest? Anyway, we have to cut off their supplies and prevent them from making a long-distance march!
"No! Or find a way to annihilate the Japanese army on the sea.
"That can only lure the enemy to fight!" Ye Da said.
Li Shunchen immediately ordered to send ten medium-sized ships into the inland sea to make a hom attack, fired a few air cannons, and then retreated to lead the enemy to the sea as much as possible. Then he began to deploy an ambush at sea. Li Shunchen divided the fleet into five teams to form a semi-circular formation. Among them, three columns of forwards were equipped with turtle ships, all of which turned to face Sichuan Bay. The tortoise ships were commanded by Luo Dayong. The three columns were personally commanded by himself. The remaining two horizontal columns were commanded by Yuanjun and hidden at the mouth of the bay, waiting for the Japanese army. As soon as they rushed out, they quickly merged and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. Then the three turtle ships first rushed into the enemy's formation, disrupting the enemy's formation, then the three columns crossed over, separated the Japanese ships, and finally cooperated with the left and right horizontal lines to surround and annihilate them.
After deploying the formation and combat plan, the rest is to wait for the Japanese to enter the encirclement.
Ten * warships slowly sailed into the inland sea. As expected, as the newspaper said, the Japanese army was fully prepared for the anti-shore landing battle. Although it was the first time to face the Japanese regular navy, these soldiers were not afraid at all, and the victory at the beginning of the month has greatly strengthened their self-confidence.
At this time, the Japanese troops on the shore were already armed with live ammunition and ready to go to war. They set foot on the land for the first time, and in order to report the last humiliation, they looked very excited and couldn't wait.
*The fleet didn't know how far the Japanese artillery could hit, so they slowly approached the coast and almost fired a few shots. The Japanese army was very happy to see the ship shrinking. It turned out that they were all bullying and afraid of the strong. The Japanese artillery had not been released. They were visualizing the distance of the North Korean army from their own artillery, and they had to do it!
Terrible guy! When the soldiers wondered why the enemy did not move in the face of their provocation, the Japanese finally opened fire and the shells flew into the sky. At this time, the soldiers understood that the Japanese artillery was firing farther than them.
"Quick! Avoid the shells!" The commander shouted loudly that General Li let himself lure the enemy, but not let him play the real retreat.
"Expanded!" A shell exploded next to the command ship, and the waves splashed more than ten feet high. * The soldiers were a little panicked and the command was a little chaotic, but the task has actually been completed, so let's retreat! Then he shouted, "Retreat!"
* While hiding from the shells falling from the sky, the ship turned the bow in a panic and prepared to "escape"!
Yasharu Wakisaka, the commander of the Japanese army, saw the North Korean army fleeing and immediately ordered all the soldiers to board the ship to pursue. Don't escape the enemy! The Japanese army, like happy rabbits, ran desperately to the ship. Of course, Yasuharu Wakisaka, as the main commander, could not lose to his subordinates and boarded the ship one step in advance.
"Chasing!" Yasuji Wasaka pulled out* and pointed to the front. More than a dozen Japanese ships quickly chased out of the inland sea. At this time, ten ships just retreated to the sea. Although some ships were slightly injured, they were fine.
The Japanese army of Yasuharu Wakisaka did not know that they would be greeted by a huge encirclement next.
As soon as the Japanese ship entered the sea, under the order of Yuan, the two horizontal teams quickly emerged from both sides, blocking the retreat of the Japanese army. At the same time, Luo Da led his turtle boat to rush to the Japanese army.
At this time, Yasuharu Wakisaka found that he had been tricked. He suddenly panicked, because in front of him was six times the enemy, including three giant warships. How could these warships be more than twice as big as his own ships? He suddenly panicked.
"General! We are surrounded!"
"Nonsense! Can't I see it?"
As soon as Yasuharu Wakisaka's voice fell, a turtle ship crashed straight into one of his house boats, and a long collision rod suddenly poked a big hole in the hull, and the sea water filled the damaged ship in an instant. Before the Japanese could react, a heavy shell was spit out of the dragon's mouth and blew it into pieces.
The Japanese army was stunned. What kind of warship is this? Devil, can this be beaten? This has dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the Japanese army. The Japanese army was still in shock, and the other two tortoise ships also rushed up, ruining the Japanese formation.
Yasuharu Wakisaka shouted, "Don't mess up!" On the one hand, he directed the ship to quickly counterattack. Didn't you bump into it? All right! Let me show you the real strength of our navy. Thinking of this, Yasuharu Wakisaka shouted to his soldiers, "Get me on board! Board the ship!"
Yasuharu Wakisaka held * and pointed to the ship: "Let them see our samurai spirit! Come on!" He gathered more than 30 soldiers with sharp blades on his boat. They shook the hook rope in their hands and threw them at a turtle boat that was crashing.
Because the tortoise ship was much taller than their ship, the hooks dropped by the Japanese army hooked the iron nails on the ship's armor one by one. The Japanese swung over with the rope, but when they swung to the air, they suddenly found that they could not land like this, but it was too late. The inertia made them unable to stop their bodies one by one and straighten upright. He crashed into the tortoise boat covered with nails.
"Ah!" A scream resounded over the sea of Sichuan. The first Japanese soldiers who were ready to climb the turtle ship were stabbed into hedgehogs by the long nails on the ship. The second group of Japanese soldiers who had set out saw the tragic situation of their ancestors and threw away the ropes in their hands and fell directly into the sea, which was better than being stabbed to death. But the soldiers in the turtle boat will not give up such a good opportunity. They stretched out their barrels from the holes on the side of the turtle boat one by one and shot at the Japanese soldiers who were still falling and had fallen into the water. Soon, more than 30 "warriors" of the Japanese army all turned into dead bodies.
Yasuji Wakisaka has been completely crazy. He hurriedly urged his soldiers: "Go to me! Whoever retreats, I will cut down first!" The soldiers saw the lesson of the front car, who dared to go forward, but they would be cut down if they didn't go forward, and they were hesitating. Yasuharu Wakisaka's vice general came to persuade his coach: "It's still important to rush out of the encirclement, otherwise we will be destroyed!"
Yasuharu Wakisaka was a little rational. He looked at the sea, and the tortoise ship was still rampaging. The other teams behind him also began to fire, and the Japanese ships sank one by one. Yasuharu Wakisaka did not dare to delay any longer: "Call some elites and rush out of the siege!"
