- Everyone did not expect the burning of Nagasaki, which made Navy Commander Zhou Yu very angry. As a result, the landing process was greatly slowed down, which had a certain impact on the entire strategy. He couldn't help but get angry at his men.
But the commander of the vanguard fleet was also very puzzled, "This - I don't know! I just fired three rounds of artillery according to the bombardment procedure, and the total was only more than a thousand shells!" He asked himself that he didn't have any Who knew a little mistake could lead to such a big mess!
"Okay! Okay, this is not their responsibility. The main reason is that they didn't explain it clearly in advance. Japanese towns and cities are so easy to burn. They are all made of wood and have good ventilation. Once a fire breaks out in a house, the intensity of the fire will It¡¯s very difficult to control! Besides, our ammunition has been replaced this time, and the detonation effect is much better than before. It¡¯s normal that they can¡¯t control it!¡±
Lu Xun came up from the side and advised,
"It's just that from now on, we have to inform the entire army that we must not bomb the enemy's residential areas casually. This is really a bit unprepared!"
"Yes! Who would have thought of it?" Kong Youde took up the conversation, but his perspective was completely different, "Now, people and money are really lost! What a great seaport, I heard that this Japanese Nagasaki Port is the largest port, and the rich people in the port are extremely rich!"
Several people heard what he meant and couldn¡¯t help but laugh:
"Okay, okay, brother Kong, let's go quickly! The Port of Nagasaki is gone, and there is still Nagasaki City. There are always more rich people in the city than in the town!" Speaking of this, Zheng Zhilong is the real one. Experienced.
¡¡
The port of Nagasaki was destroyed by artillery fire. The Army could only find a landing site nearby, and used small boats and landing craft to charge ashore! After a busy day. A landing site was finally opened. Zhang Liao, the first batch to land, led the 30,000 Dongjiang Army, as well as supporting artillery and baggage, and began to move ashore endlessly!
At this point, the invasion of Japan by Li Zhejun officially began. After being relieved of the responsibility of covering the landing, several armies began to act separately. The main force of the North Sea Fleet, dozens of large warships, were led by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, with Zheng Zhilong under the overall command. Bypassing the Osumi Strait in the southern part of Kyushu Island, passing through Shikoku Island, and going straight to Osaka, the maritime gateway of the Edo shogunate in this period!
The other main force of the East China Sea Fleet and the special fleet, under the personal command of Li Zhe, headed for the Shimonoseki Strait in the northernmost part of Kyushu, blocking Kyushu's external channels, and looking for opportunities to enter the Seto Inland Sea to find the enemy's main fleet for a decisive battle! The remaining light squadrons were scattered along the coasts of various Japanese islands. Monitoring the movements of the sea at all times, large armies spread all over the place, harassing the coastal areas of the Japanese country. There was no peace and no peace. It was at this time that many feudal lords knew about the invasion of the Ming Dynasty!
And it was precisely at this time that the shogun's order to call for military service had just arrived. Surrounded by a large army, daimyo from all over the world are now facing this difficult choice: whether to stick to their own territory or respond to the call of His Highness the Shogun to gather the army and fight the enemy's main force!
¡¡
A few days later, at the foot of Nagasaki Castle. Zhang Liao led the main force of the Dongjiang Army to land and the entire army arrived. The 30,000-strong army faced the fortified city and launched a direct bombardment. Hundreds of sniper cannons and mortars were bombarded wildly. The cannons and rocks were flying and the smoke was filled. The gate of Nagasaki Castle was hanging and did not fall down! But it is already shaky and in danger! The Nagasaki Castle's own arquebusiers and arquebusiers in the city could only stare at them in stunned silence at such a distance, and were of no use to them at all!
"Haha! This is just a round of artillery preparations, and the city gate seems to be in ruins. It's really enjoyable! Now under the power of our army's artillery fire, what strong city can resist it? The so-called attack is invincible, and the battle is invincible. Invincible, isn't that what we are talking about now?" Looking at this situation, Pound opened his mouth and said to the general Zhang Liao who was using a telescope to look at the enemy's situation!
Zhang Liao was not at all angry after hearing Pound's arrogance: "I told you Ling Ming! Don't be so careless! Japanese, you don't know, those guys are extremely stoic, but they may not just sit back and wait for death, we still be careful!"
Obviously, these two people must be particularly good at playing. Before Zhang Liao could finish his words, the city gate collapsed in full view of everyone. In the dust and smoke, people suddenly neighed and horses rushed out. When a soldier came, it quickly turned into a large black mass of charging people.
"Charge! Kill!"
Thousands of Japanese people speaking a dialect that people here could not understand rushed towards the artillery regiment position that was waiting here. Among them were hundreds of samurai, holding samurai swords high in their hands, rushing in front as the vanguard!
Zhang Liao looked at it with a sneer on his lips,
"Well done! It's exactly what I expected."?! "
"Command Commander Shang Kexi on the left wing to kill these guys, order the artillery regiment to support firepower, order the central army to advance, prepare to detour to the back, encircle and divide the enemy army, and the right wing goes straight under the city wall and prepare for siege!"
"Yes!" The correspondent followed the order, and a series of troop movements began in the blink of an eye!
¡¡
Not long after, the 203rd Division of the Dongjiang Army led by Shang Kexi on the left wing began to engage in fire with the enemy. Under the overwhelming fire from the artillery regiment, the enemy's charge formation was quickly scattered! But even in scattered charges, the enemy troops were extremely tenacious. The warriors' courage burst out in despair and they were not deterred by the Ming army's firepower! After passing through the artillery fire coverage area, they reorganized their team slightly and rushed towards the infantry formation of the 203rd Division again.
"Get ready! Attack!"
Shang Kexi took the troops of his divisional guard battalion and started a volley charge directly! These guys are still not used to the large battlefield coverage in the age of muskets. Once they separate from the queue, they will be unable to hold up the scene. At present, they can only direct the attack and defense of the nearby troops. Basically, on a large battlefield with tens of thousands of people, It¡¯s a situation where everyone is fighting on their own!
But even so, the firepower of these battalion-level platoons alone cannot be underestimated!
"One, two, one, one, two, one," amidst the rhythmic shouts of command, bursts of thunderous footsteps sounded. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army raised their heads and held their chests high. The steel gun in his hand hung on his right shoulder, and he pressed towards the enemy step by step!
On the entire battlefield, rows of neatly arranged phalanxes were quickly formed. Based on the basic force phalanxes at the battalion and regiment levels, the soldiers in the phalanxes pressed their whistles and stepped towards the enemy's formation step by step. Squeeze through! Soon the enemy's charge formation was surrounded!
"Bag! Is this some new formation of the Ming Dynasty? How does it look like acting?" The Japanese warriors couldn't help but wonder after seeing this situation! I just managed to get through the enemy's artillery fire suppression area. Now that we have finally reached the distance, we must not fall short!
"Follow me, gather your formation, and charge!" Shin Yuemon, who was tall and highly skilled in martial arts, shouted, using himself as the tip of the sword, he gathered a large group of samurai, jumping around. Shouting, rushing towards the guard camp that was still gratifying! At the critical moment, we still have to look at the real warriors!
"Well done! You bastards! Your feelings are because you see grandpa being easy to bully, right?" Shang Kexi muttered a few words, then suddenly puffed up his chest and shouted loudly, the sound reaching the ears of all the soldiers around him. !
"Everyone, follow me! Get ready!"
"Prepare¡¡"
"Prepare!¡¡"
The platoon leaders of each platoon passed on the gratifying orders one by one, and the soldiers suddenly became energetic. He quickly started taking small steps, aligning his left and right, and the entire formation, which was slightly scattered during the march, immediately recovered!
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
The soldiers obeyed the order, raised the guns hanging on their right shoulders, and held them in front of their chests. Hold the tail end with one hand and hold up the gun body with the other. While nervously pulling the bolt and loading the gun, several actions were completed in one go! Today's new five-year-old breech-loading gun is much easier to use than the original flintlock gun. This step alone has been simplified several times, shortening the reaction time on the battlefield of the phalanx. This change has great impact on war. The result is already fatal! Although, even if these lazy guys have new guns, their tactics are still stuck in the era of flintlock volleys!
"Aim"
"Aim!"
Putting your eyes under the ruler, according to the instructions, put the enemy's chest into the crosshair! This is also an action that is unique to spiral rifle guns. In the era of matchlocks and flintlocks, when two armies charged in parallel, this aiming step could basically be omitted!
At this time, in the field of vision of the front row sergeants, the Japanese warriors on the opposite side had already rushed within a hundred steps. They were all horrified when they saw the actions of the Ming army soldiers! Musket! Rows of hundreds of muskets are the nightmare of the sword-wielding warriors in the charge formation!
"Hurry up and speed up! Rush in, they will die if they rush in! At this distance, they can only get one shot!" At this moment, the experienced warriors played their role, and they rushed in one by one. At the front! Driven the entire formation!
Yes, the enemy is just a thin row, and their muskets cannot work at this distance. But within fifty meters, they only have time to fire one shot, and they can hit dozens of them at most. Just an unlucky guy protected by the gods! Without the three-stage shooting musket array, under the charge of the samurai adults, it would be nothing more than a sieve! I don¡¯t know where the Ming commander came from?You are so stupid that you dare to rush to the front of the formation by yourself. Do you really think that the swords in the hands of the samurai adults are disadvantageous?
The Japanese people who rushed into the battle thought like this in their hearts, and the steps under their feet became more and more brave, and they rushed towards the Ming army in front of them like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
Launch!
Launch!
At eighty meters, Shang Kexi¡¯s voice finally shouted out. At this distance, the current Dongjiang Army can maximize the power of the weapons in their hands!
So, with this order, the first row of two rows of gun formations composed of more than 800 people from the front of the entire battalion fired in unison. Like spring thunder on dry land, they suddenly sounded like one, and the Japanese who were facing them charged. The first row of the formation seemed to be suddenly cut apart by a huge sickle in the air, and half of it fell down in an instant!
A 12mm large-caliber breech-loading rifle with integrated ammunition is so powerful that it can knock down a cow directly at a distance of 80 meters. The fragile human body is naturally vulnerable to heavy blows! Most people lost their lives when they were hit in the torso. This was incomparable to the power of the backward matchlock guns of the same era!
The enemy's muskets are so far away! The Japanese warriors were shocked. As they rushed, they found that they suddenly became much lonely around them, and they suddenly became sparse and scattered!
"Go, go, go! There are only a few steps left! Victory is coming soon"
Shin Yuemon said to himself that he knew that at this time, the more fear he had, the harder it would be to survive. Samurai who studied war all day long and had experience in surviving in wars had the most common common sense. At this time, he could only grit his teeth and Only by rushing forward and facing the musketeers who can no longer fire can they usurp their own victory with their swords!
But what was beyond his imagination was that all this was not over yet. Just a few seconds later, the Dongjiang Army's array was busy for a while. The soldiers pulled out the cartridge cases in the gun chambers. After loading the bullets again, they loaded the bullets again. The musket was aimed at the enemy, and then another continuous thunder sounded!
Shin Yuemon suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and then his body was empty, and he flew up, gliding in the air like a free bird for a long time, before falling heavily to the ground, and then a heartbreaking pain suddenly came to his mind! His vision went dark, and the pain and the emptiness after the pain occupied all his senses!
In the endless darkness, a flash of red suddenly lit up. In the red, it seemed like a halo, oh! Mom, is that mom? The face of his mother, who had been dead for a long time, returned to Shin Yuemon's eyes, and a strange warmth occupied Shin Yuemon's thoughts. That feeling, burning! blazing! It feels like your heart and lungs are being boiled dry! Everything about him was drowned in the blink of an eye!
The bravest samurai in Nagasaki Castle, Yamamoto Shinyuemon, fell on the way to the charge in the second round of volley from the guard camp. At the same time, he rushed to this distance with him, only three or four meters away from the enemy. The warriors at a distance of ten meters were also hit by countless bullets. They were trembling and smashed into pieces, and fell in a pool of blood!
Subsequently, the musket fire became smoother and smoother. With the roar of five consecutive rounds of five-year-old rifles, fire and bullets swept across the Japanese army on the battlefield. The first row finished shooting, and the second row followed closely behind. Another series of five shots.
The volleys of rifled guns, six to eight rounds per minute, in the hands of tens of thousands of sergeants of the 203rd Division, turned into a continuous storm of fire that surrounded from all directions and swept the entire battlefield! No one can survive such a blow!
But after more than twenty minutes, the battlefield fell into silence. The more than 8,000 dead soldiers who rushed out of Nagasaki City all turned into corpses in front of the battle, lying on the ground along the way!
And not even a single soldier of the Dongjiang Army was injured!
