Chapter 104: Afterglow of the Empire (15)

Second watch time.

The fleet quietly approached the Japanese city.

This was Lu Li's last trust in Liu Wei, the broadsword general. To be honest, he should not have trusted this admiral of Bashu who had made outstanding military achievements in the first half of his life.

The reason why this old boy is up and down in the officialdom is because he has evil intentions and often engages in bribery——

The first time he entered the court to conquer the Japanese pirates, he had no merit but hard work, and a great achievement was achieved. However, Liu Wei wanted to make more money, so he bribed the censor who was supervising all the officials. As a result, he was accused by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.

Yang Yinglong of Bozhou was causing trouble, and the then governor Li Hualong strongly supported him, which enabled him to win a great victory. The old boy made the same mistake again and went to bribe the governor's father, but was brought to court again.

The first reason for being able to enter the DPRK this time was Liu Weihui.

He often said, "I think the Japanese pirates are like ants, and they demand a fierce fight. They are very likely to refuse to fight the Japanese pirates. If not, the emperor and ministers of the Li Dynasty would not transfer their favorite capital marshal Quan Li to him." .

The second reason is because the old boy has enough seniority and fought many beautiful battles on the border, so that the Burmese people did not dare to invade the border.

The generals did not rush to attack, but listened closely with Lu Li. Sure enough, they heard a rapid squawking of geese in the distance.

"This is the signal for the West Route Army to start attacking. We can start taking action and help out."

Lu Li said in a deep voice.

The generals responded one after another.

Everyone has trust in Liu Wei, even though he has been unreliable from the beginning.

In night battles at sea, lights are used as signals.

Yi Sunchen, Chen Li, Liang Tianyin and others ordered the sailors of the flagship to raise the lights for attack, and then all the ships also raised their lights in response. For a time, the entire Shuntian ocean was dotted with stars, like the Milky Way.

On the tower facing the ocean, the night watch warriors were taking a nap. They were obviously very tired during the day.

However, after seeing this scene, he was frightened and woke up, and immediately sent someone to inform Honda Tadakatsu. Hearing the movement of the Allied Navy, Honda, who did not even dare to take off his armor while sleeping, jumped up quickly and prepared to investigate.

As a result, as soon as he left the residence, he heard three loud noises in succession behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the entire mansion had been reduced to powder...

After all, the fleet had not yet entered the inner ocean, so Lu Li ordered the Ming navy to line up and bombard Shuntian City with naval cannons.

In fact, the Ming army's warships were of large tonnage, and the artillery they carried were beyond the range and power of the Japanese and North Korean naval forces.

All the general's cannons were aimed at Suncheon.

After two rounds of concentrated fire, most of the shells were fired directly into the city, almost turning the encirclement into a beheading operation.

There were beads of sweat on Honda Tadakatsu's forehead. He ducked and arrived at the city head facing the sea. When he saw the grand scene on the sea, he felt that the disaster was coming.

Threads of fire streaked through the night, some exploded on the city wall, causing the warriors to scream almost crazy, and some fell into the city, setting off waves of air. Some soldiers saw the God of Sunshine in their sleep.

Li Chao's literary official who was responsible for recording the war called this scene with great admiration:

Thousands of cannons boiled into the sea.

For a moment, Honda Tadakatsu had the idea of ​​abandoning the city. He knew Toyotomi Hideyoshi's plan and was unwilling to lose too much strength.

As long as the other party dies, the daimyo of the Kanto countries can seize power...

However, at this juncture, he forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart and ordered his samurai to prepare for battle, because the coalition forces had completed their fire suppression and would soon launch a landing battle.

As he expected, Chen Li, who had the largest number of troops, saw that the artillery bombardment had successfully suppressed the Japanese, and immediately ordered the Wolf soldiers to take a warship with a relatively smaller tonnage and kill the Japanese city of Shuntian.

At this time, Lu Li noticed something was wrong and was about to remind him when Li Sunchen said:

"The fleet is too far forward, and it will be difficult if the tide ebbs."

But Chen Li spoke firmly: "It doesn't matter if you can't retreat, we will just defeat Shuntian."

The coalition forces responsible for the landing operations, under the cover of foreign naval guns, launched a fearless charge, and the small ships were like arrows leaving the string.

Instantly, shouts of killing broke out.

"The Army did not launch an attack. There was no artillery fire, no fire, not even a sound."

Chen Li gave the order too quickly, and so did his wolf soldiers, who rushed in to kill Lu Li before he could finish his words.

But they can't be blamed for this.

According to the agreement in the letter, both the navy and the army must attack with all their strength, and the faster the better.

And this core strategy has been implemented very well.

"What do you want, old boy?"

Hearing that Lu Li told a very scary thing, Chen Li felt that his whole body was not well, but he ignored his previous job.

"Send someone to urge you."

"No matter what this guy wants to do, an attack on the other side must be launched at night."

Hearing this, the ordering soldiers did not dare to miss the chance of fighting, and immediately rushed to the calm shore in a small boat.

Inside Suncheon Wa Fortress.

The Japanese were extremely frightened. After Honda Tadakatsu left a few samurai in the north of the city, he mobilized all the soldiers he could mobilize to the seaside.

You must know that the Japanese do not know the art of clones at all. Since they mobilized heavy troops to defend the seaside, the side facing the land will naturally be empty.

Many captive slaves of the Li Dynasty secretly broke away from the ropes, escaped from the city immediately when there were no defenders, joined the domestic army, and reported the situation in Shuntian to the capital marshal Quan Li.

Don't miss this fighter jet!

After hearing the report, Quan Li immediately called Li Dexin to go find Liu Wei.

However, an accident happened.

After listening to the two people's requests, the old boy yawned and said lazily: "It's midnight now, and the enemy's situation is unknown. Let's wait until dawn."

All the generals were stunned.

Didn't you take the initiative to ask the navy to go together at night?

Now that the navy is fighting, and the effect is remarkable, why is it unwilling to move?

And Liu Wei said plausibly: "I have sent a secret envoy to send them a secret signal. Please be patient. Anyway, the Japanese have no ships, and General Lu and the others are safe."

It turns out that those few goose calls were not an agreement to advance troops, but an agreement to retreat.

In a letter agreeing to fight together, it is said that the call of a goose is used as a signal. What does it mean?

attack!

Normal people think so.

But Liu Wei acquiesced that this was a retreat. Who knows what he had in mind?

No matter what Li Dexin and Quan Li said, Liu Wei refused to send troops. He was annoyed by the urging and pushed the table directly, saying that he was going to rest and recharge his batteries, so the two of them could leave without seeing him off.

At that time, he begged Li Chao's elite to follow him, and his words were better than his singing, but now he is so arrogant.

Quan Li left the tent angrily, but he was not carried away. As the marshal of the capital, he was naturally not a mere commander. He immediately ordered a general named Li Shiyan to lead all the country's crossbowmen and gunmen on the front.

beach.

The idea is simple. The Allied Navy has been trapped and settled. If the attack fails, they must do their best to respond. After all, they are also soldiers who fought bloody battles for the Li Dynasty.

It can only be said that the people of the Ming Dynasty were very good at deceiving their own people, far inferior to the people of the Li Dynasty who the Ming army had always looked down upon.
