Japanese Chieftain

Japanese Chieftain

On the coast of Sado Island, thousands of Japanese troops have gathered. They saw that their own fleet was almost completely destroyed, they saw the Ming Dynasty's warships slowly approaching the shore, and they saw the flags fluttering on the warships.

, these thousands of Japanese raised their bows and arrows, and still fired wildly at the docking ships without giving up.

The Ming Dynasty responded with its usual tactics, turning the rudder, adjusting the hull, and firing back with cannons on the left and right sides of the ship.

Standing at a high altitude, and relying on artillery that far exceeded the range and power of bows and arrows, it was not easy to defeat these Japanese. After several rounds of volleys of artillery shells, the Japanese's arrow array was in chaos.

The Ming Dynasty has been at peace for a long time. Wang Gong's factory has been producing gunpowder and projectiles year after year. After several years of hoarding, it has become an extremely impressive scale. This expedition took away most of it, so there is no need to worry about insufficient ammunition for the artillery.

Case.

The artillery fire was fired one after another until the entire Japanese arrow array completely collapsed. The ship quickly docked. The soldiers holding fire guns disembarked first and fired another salvo with the fire guns in their hands.

Under the cover of these fire cannons, batch after batch of soldiers disembarked from the ship and landed, then lined up in the open space on the beach and advanced layer by layer towards the Japanese front line.

During this period, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army had not yet declined to the heinous level it had in the later period. Although the Japanese knives in the hands of the Japanese were sharp and pointed, the Ming army would most likely not be able to take advantage of them in hand-to-hand combat, but they were holding fire blunderbuss.

, there is no need for close contact at all.

When the Japanese arrow formation collapses and before a new round of offensive is formed, the fire blunderbuss is a weapon that can kill people.

After advancing layer by layer and firing volley after round, there was almost no grass growing within dozens of steps.

The sound of fire cannons firing, shouts of killing, the screams and curses of fire cannons, and the wails of the Japanese all merged into one.

After that, warships were still docking one after another, and large numbers of soldiers disembarked one after another, holding firearms and quickly joining the battle group, making these resounding sounds rise to another level.

On the upper floor of the battleship, Zhang Mao held his hands on the railing, his whole old face turned red with excitement, and he was muttering something unknown.

If you listen closely, you can probably hear the chants of ancestors blessing, God opening your eyes, and I can finally lead the army in battle.

After tens of thousands of soldiers landed one after another, the Japanese who resisted were all killed or injured, and the remaining ones fled one after another.

After another long while, a warship dragging the whale carcass finally arrived belatedly. By this time, the battle had already ended, and only countless corpses could be seen on the shore, as well as red water soaked in the mud.

The red is dazzling, the red is bright.

Although he had known that he would probably not make the trip, and the target practice was delayed for so long, seeing that the war was over, Zhu Houzhao was still angry and pinched his teeth.

When the ship docked at the shore, they got off the ship. The Ming army on the shore had already cut down the surrounding trees, built them into a huge fire, and threw the Japanese corpses into the fire.

The entire beach is filled with the smell of burnt food and blood, which are intertwined and make people feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Mao's face had returned to calm at this time, but there was still a hint of unnoticeable excitement in his brows. He came over and saluted Zhu Houzhao, then looked at Xia Yuan and said: "Xia Rongzheng, this time

It was you who proposed to His Majesty the conquest of Japan. Now that the army has landed, what will be the rules next?"

"By the command of my Majesty, what we need to do now is to follow the direction in which the Japanese are fleeing, and first eliminate the daimyo entrenched here, and then occupy the entire island."

As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Mao knew that the Japanese country might be in civil strife now. He also knew that the princes of the Japanese country were called daimyo, but it always made him feel very harsh to hear that the daimyo had been destroyed first.

Zhu Houzhao felt even more harsh. He frowned and interrupted: "What Ming Dynasty? Do Japanese people still have Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Highness, this name is not the Ming Dynasty. The name is the name of the name. Your Highness just understands it as a separatist force."

When he heard the word separatist regime, Zhu Houzhao's frown instantly relaxed, and his eyes lit up. "You mean, there is a Japanese separatist regime entrenched on this island?"

Xia Yuan thought about it and realized that he knew what this kid was planning. Anyone who could separate a kingdom was a very powerful force. They had land, people and soldiers, and with these, it meant that there was a battle to fight. Then this kid

I feel like I have a place for myself.

"If there is no great name to occupy."

"Stop calling me by my famous name. This one always sounds awkward to me. Please try another one."

"Then let's call him Tai. No, Japanese chieftain."

If he had to change his name, the first word that came to Xia Yuan's mind was actually "Taijun". As a descendant, he had long associated these two words with his childhood, forming a conditioned reflex, but he changed his mind.

I think, Taijun is a good word, such as She Taijun.

Why should I let my little life spoil the word "Taijun"?

"Japanese chieftain?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, Japanese chieftains will be Japanese chieftains, as long as they are not famous names. What did you want to say just now? You go on."

"If there were no Daer here, and if there were no Japanese chiefs entrenched here, there would be absolutely no way there would be so many Japanese soldiers."

Let’s call them Japanese pawns.

Xia Yuan looked at the corpses that were lifted up and thrown into the fire. They had no armor and were wearing ordinary clothes, but they had weapons in their hands. They were soldiers.

"I also believe that even if there are no Japanese chiefs on this island, there must be a force entrenched here." Zhang Mao nodded and quickly accepted the term Japanese chiefs.

"Just now, I sent out scouts to follow the fleeing Japanese to find out the news. Now, while the scouts haven't returned, I'm letting the army recuperate for the time being."

Having said this, Zhang Mao turned around and looked at the mountains on both sides, and then at the vast sea connected by the coastline, and then said: "I think this island should not be far from the Japanese country. If we capture this island, it can be used as a camp for our army.

"

Hearing this, Xia Yuan really wanted to say that heroes have similar views. Even though the old British man has never been on the battlefield or led troops to fight, he has been immersed in the military camp for many years and still has strategic vision.

As a military fortress, Sado Island is absolutely competent. If you advance, you can attack the Japanese mainland, and if you retreat, you can rely on the island to defend it.

Not to mention, there are gold and silver mines on this island.

According to his idea, even after the Japanese were defeated, this island must not be abandoned. A large army must be left to stay on this island and completely turn it into an overseas territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Mao looked at Zhu Houzhao again, saluted again and said: "Your Highness, I dare to ask Your Highness to move. We just had a fight and captured a few people alive. I would like to trouble Your Highness to help with the interrogation."

This is to let Zhu Houzhao, a talent who is proficient in foreign languages, come on stage. When he is away from home, he is afraid of language barriers.

This was also the reason why Zhang Mao reluctantly agreed to Zhu Houzhao's joining the army. Otherwise, with the enthusiasm of His Highness the Crown Prince who dreamed of going to the battlefield, Zhang Mao would not have taken him with him even if he was killed.
