Chapter 696 The Qing Dynasty, another wave

"Mount bayonets...advance!"

Jin Chengkai couldn't wait for those grenades to explode. He just waited for a while, then yelled and gave the order "fix bayonets and move forward" - this tactic was the same as firing a volley of muskets at close range. He was not afraid of being thrown out by himself.

The grenade accidental injury is to take advantage of the enemy's chaos after the grenade explodes to launch an attack.

This is about fate, and the fight is about ruthlessness!

Before the Japanese pirates, who had just been hit by a volley of musket fire at close range, could react, nearly two hundred hand grenades fell like hail from the sky, causing the group of Japanese pirates to scream "Baga" and "Baga" indiscriminately.

But this group of Japanese pirates who didn't know the power of sugar pills didn't know how to run away quickly after scolding them. They were still standing there... They were samurai. How could samurai run away so shamelessly? And they also saw the people on the opposite side.

The Ming army came up with flintlock guns with bayonets attached.

Even if those flintlock guns were equipped with bayonets, they were not very long. They would definitely not be able to pierce long spears!

So this group of Japanese pirates who didn't want to die didn't even run away at this time, but they were still thinking of resisting... As a result, they didn't wait long before the grenades exploded. More than a hundred grenades exploded into a sea of ​​​​fire among the crowd.

Deadly shrapnel flew everywhere, mowing down the Japanese pirates to the ground piece by piece like mowing grass.

Those Japanese pirates who had not been killed by the explosion or the previous volley of muskets finally collapsed and stopped shouting "Baga". They all turned around and ran into the woods crying for their fathers and mothers.

Of course Jin Chengkai and his men will not let the Japanese pirates go... How can they let the Japanese pirates go? They must resist the Japanese pirates to the end!

Thinking of this, Jin Chengkai roared again: "Bayonet attack! Kill..."

...

This is not a war, but a unilateral massacre, where one side presses the other to the ground and rubs against it over and over again!

If the armies of various countries in this era are divided according to the strength of their firepower, the most powerful one is undoubtedly the "high-sugar army" represented by the Great Tomorrow Soldiers; the second-ranked one is the "low-sugar army" represented by the Qing soldiers who moved westward.

"; Even lower than "low sugar" is "sugar-free and high gunpowder". The armies of Western countries and the Ottoman Empire have at least this level; and the weaker one is the "sugar-free and low gunpowder" army.

The Japanese samurai army is a "sugar-free and low-gunpowder" army, and because Japan is very short of horses, their army still lacks cavalry that can be used to cover the battlefield and launch mounted assaults... At this time

The only thing worthy of praise for the Japanese samurai army is the fighting will and personal bravery of the samurai.

But facing the Ming Army, which was three ranks higher and had experienced many wars, their fighting will and bravery were simply not worth mentioning.

Therefore, the Hakata Bay landing battle that took place on June 30, the third year of the Grand Duke's reign, showed a one-sided situation from the beginning. Not only did the grenadiers of the Korean Ming army who landed on Genkai Island fired a close-range musket salvo and a

With sugar-coated grenades and the final bayonet assault, the Japanese pirates, which were twice as many as them, were easily eliminated. The simultaneous landings on Shiga Island and the Battle of Uminonakamichi, as well as the later launch of Tang Bo

The Port Landing Battle and the Noko Island Landing Battle have exactly the same flavor!

It means crushing the Japanese pirates, pressing them to the ground and rubbing them. Although the Kuroda family's samurai fought bravely on all the battlefields mentioned above, their equipment was backward, their tactics were outdated, and at the same time they adopted inappropriate "

"Regular Warfare" - Although Zhu Heji called them "Japanese pirates", they were not the same as the Japanese pirates who invaded the coast of the Ming Dynasty from time to time in the early years. They were serious warriors.

In the final analysis, samurai wars were still "aristocratic wars." They either fought in the field with a clear banner, or retreated into the city and caged the city. Basically, they would not fight guerrillas, let alone mobilize the peasants.

Therefore, those who fought against the Ming army in the landing battle on June 30 were the samurai belonging to the Fukuoka Domain, the Akizuki Domain, and the Tofukuji Domain (both branches of the Fukuoka Domain). The Fukuoka Domain plus the two branch clans was the Five

The height of the stone is less than 100,000, and according to the shogunate's standard of 200 soldiers per 10,000 stones, the top of the sky is an army of 10,000 samurai.

And Kuroda Mitsuyuki placed a thousand ashigaru each on Genkai Island, Shiga Island, Karatomari Port, Umino Nakamichi and Noko Island. In addition, he also placed a thousand ashigaru on these five important lands guarding the entrance to Hakata Bay.

Eight forts were built and hundreds of cannons were deployed.

Five thousand ashigaru plus more than a hundred artillery pieces, and they also occupy a great geographical advantage - the opponent must launch a landing battle!

In Kuroda Mitsuyuki's original understanding, the landing and anti-landing battle at Hakata Bay was easy to fight! It was possible to fight for it over and over again for a month...it took so long

, the great god Amaterasu in the sky might be able to hold back a strong wind and blow over all the invading Ming ships.

However, the battle of the Hakata Bay landing on June 30 was fought so hard that Mitsuyuki Kuroda, Tsunaki Shimazu, Tsunahiro Mori, Mitsushige Nabeshima, Tsunato Hosokawa, Tsunasa Asano, Tsunamasa Ikeda, and Yutaka Yamauchi were watching.

Masaru, Hachisuga Tsunuki, Date Munori and others were all stunned by the one-sided result.

On the evening of the 30th, when the sun and moon flag symbolizing the Ming Dynasty was raised on Xionggu Island, Kuroda Mitsuyuki was completely stunned. Half of the Kuroda family's combat strength was defeated by the Ming invaders who landed in less than a day.

...No, it was the soldiers who were defeated by the Great Tomorrow!

The Kuroda family is about to end!

"Fukuoka Marquis (this is another nickname)," Kuroda suddenly remembered Shimazu Tsunaki's voice, "It seems that we are unable to prevent the Mingko from landing... It is better to temporarily abandon Fukuoka Castle and retreat to Mikazuki

Mount Yuecheng, and the highlands around Mount Yuan are standing firm, waiting for the Dongguo army led by Lord Gongfang!"

"Abandon Fukuoka Castle? How is this possible..." Kuroda Mitsuyuki was shocked when he heard Shimazu Tsunaki's suggestion.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fukuoka Castle is the main city of the Kuroda family. It took a lot of effort to build it. It is the foundation of the Kuroda family. How can you give up?

"Marquis Fukuoka..." Tsunahiro Mouri also came up to persuade him, "Now is not the time to fight for the gains and losses of a city or a place! The current battle of Hakata Bay is very similar to the Battle of Sekigahara.

, maybe it will become a key battle that changes the ownership of the world. As long as we stand on the side of the winner, are you still afraid of not having a castle?"

"What does it look like?" Kuroda Mitsuyuki turned to look at Mouri Tsunahiro with a surprised look on his face.

"It looks like Sekigahara!" Tsunahiro Mouri said, "Marquis Fukuoka, think about it carefully, is the current situation very similar to Sekigahara?"

Shimazu Tsunaki also said: "Yes, the current situation is really similar to Sekigahara... The Battle of Hakata Bay will determine the world in one battle! Will Japan continue to become a unique kingdom of God, or will it join the Great Tomorrow?

Let’s look at the Battle of Hakata.”

"Oh, it looks like Sekigahara..." Mitsuyuki Kuroda thought about it carefully, "Can't it last?"

Mouri Tsunahiro shook his head and said: "The reason why Japan was able to stand alone in the past and was not integrated with the Celestial Empire is because Japan is an island country hanging on the sea. Once the thousands of miles of sea territory can no longer protect Japan from foreign enemies... then...

Can Japan still be independent from the Celestial Empire?"

"It's impossible..." Shimazu Tsunayuki shook his head, his tone was quite pessimistic, "Japan is surrounded by seas on all sides, and you can land everywhere. If we don't fight to the death in Hakata, and Ming invaders invade everywhere, then we will

We have to put up defenses everywhere, but this is simply impossible.

Therefore, we have no choice but to retreat to the high ground east of Hakata Bay and wait for reinforcements. After the general arrives, we can join forces to fight the Ming invaders. If we fail to win, we can only..."

Tsunahiro Mouri nodded: "Yes, yes... the situation at Sekigahara was like this. One battle will determine the world, and we must do our best. Marquis of Fukuoka, why don't we retreat to high ground first, and then go to Changshu together?"

Please send troops, Mr. Gongfang. We must not let Mr. Gongfang fail to follow in the footsteps of Duke Huiyuan of the family!"

The Terumoto he was talking about was, of course, the God of Sekigahara Household, Terumoto Mori. As the general of the Western Army, he stayed in Osaka Castle and never left Osaka Castle. This was how he took advantage of the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu... Otherwise, Mori
