The Japanese warships are still accelerating. Although the first batch of charging ships have been hit, there are also several small warships whose bows have been cleared. It is conceivable that they may have lost their combat effectiveness. But for
At this point, Xiong Meicheng became one, but he didn't even blink his eyes.
People will die in war. This realization was already known to every Japanese soldier the moment he picked up a weapon. Even so, death in battle is just bad luck, and only true warriors will persevere to the end and become
The final winner will get more benefits and resources. This is also a kind of survival of the fittest.
There will be victory if there are sacrifices. If you pay a few boats, you can completely wipe out the Jizhou Navy. In Xiong Meicheng's eyes, everything is worth it. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, waiting for the warships to approach and report the victory.
When it came, suddenly there was a loud roaring sound next to my ears, and then dozens of black spots appeared in my sight, and then they got closer and closer. Get closer and closer...
Boom boom boom... boom boom boom...
Before Xiong Meicheng could figure out what was going on, a huge explosion had already been heard. The most spectacular thing was that a thousand-material warship was being hit by a fire bomb. First, the hull of the ship was damaged.
A hole was made, and then a huge fire rose up. It was still far away, and a burning sensation hit his face.
A hundred steps away, there was a burning sensation. You can imagine how those who were closer would feel. When the warship was burned and caught fire, it was accompanied by waves of pain and even heart-wrenching.
of shouts.
The sound can be carried very far even in the open sea, and when heard in human ears, people can't help but feel a creepy feeling.
"Quickly, put out the fire, put out the fire." Xiong Meicheng finally reacted, and then shouted loudly, regardless of whether anyone could hear it.
In fact, there is no need for him to give an order, someone has already done so, but the fire mixed with black oil cannot be extinguished by water. Either it will burn completely by itself, or it will need special tools, and it will naturally burn with ordinary water.
invalid.
When many Japanese soldiers tried to pour water in various containers, but found that it had no effect, they simply ignored it and jumped off the ship one by one. They just hoped to stay away from here and not be affected.
good.
Do you think it is safe to go down to the sea? Once the artillery is turned on, the enemy will not stop. Especially when some artillery did not hit the warship and fell into the water, there were even some fire bombs that fell into the water and caused the sea to explode.
When a sea of fire rises, the people who enter the water will have a hard time.
Let’s not talk about the water, let’s talk about those Japanese warships. They originally had great hopes, thinking that they would be able to gain victory as soon as they got close to the Jizhou warships. The sudden rumble of cannons caught them off guard. When they looked back, they saw
After seeing that many warships had various problems, and many people even jumped into the water in panic to protect themselves, this fear was like the spread of a virus, and it was out of control.
When more and more warships were abandoned and there were more and more people in the water, those Japanese ships that were lucky enough to have their warships intact thanked the gods and Buddhas they trusted while hurriedly saying
I turned around and wanted to leave here quickly. If only one warship did this, there would still be a lot of room for maneuvering on the sea. But when everyone wanted to do this, chaos began. Panic.
Under this, the ship began to rub against the ship, and even collided with it. It was like a defeated army on land, trampling on its own, wasting its own strength in vain.
Normally, Xiong Meicheng would have cursed when he saw this place, but now, he could not save himself. After discovering that the warships were in chaos and more and more ships were under attack and had to be abandoned, he
Knowing that he has already lost the battle.
"Eight, why is this like this, why?" He kept shouting, but rationally, Xiong Meicheng still gave the order to turn around and retreat. As for his subordinates, it depends on their own
Good luck. If you are lucky, you can escape or be captured. If you are not lucky, you can only die.
Xiong Meicheng was on the main ship, and an unknown number of ships were watching his every move. After discovering that he wanted to escape, how could other Japanese warships be so polite?
They ran as fast as they could, and each one of them exuded their potential. Their movements seemed to be a bit faster than during normal training.
The advantage of fighting at a closer distance is reflected. Some Japanese warships have obviously entered within two miles. If they want to leave at this time, they still have to wait and see whether the Fourth Army, which is thousands of miles away, will agree. In this way, when the shells fall
At that time, except for two warships that were particularly lucky and escaped, one of which escaped with injuries, more than 40 other warships were all left behind, including the one where Kuramoto Zen was on
Two thousand warships.
As a vanguard general, Kuramoto Quan naturally needed to charge forward. Just when he was approaching the Jizhou Navy with most of the warships as the second wave of attack, the sound of cannons rang out, and then, there was no
What happened next.
The warship was hit, chaos arose, and the rumbling cannons frightened the courage of many people. There were only a handful of people who were able to resist. Even if they could resist, their confidence and morale had already been shattered.
, the so-called resistance is nothing more than holding on for a little longer.
The Japanese navy was defeated. Except for Xiong Meicheng who saw the opportunity quickly and left with fifteen warships, the other more than forty Japanese warships were either destroyed or hoisted the white flag and became Jizhou.
Prisoners of the army.
I was busy from morning until almost dark, and the battlefield was finally cleaned up. However, there were still hundreds of Japanese soldiers floating in the water. It was just because they had no physical strength and they could not even catch the ladder lowered from the ship.
Come on, even if such a prisoner is rescued, it will take great efforts to treat him. Feng Wanli will not put any thought into it. He can capture twenty-two warships, including one warship with two thousand materials and one warship with one thousand materials.
There were six ships, and this result made him very satisfied.
With such a war-like capture, the Japanese soldiers captured more than 4,000 people and became prisoners. In fact, during this operation, considering the insufficient number of warships, the Quartet Army dispatched only more than 1,000 people.
With only one person, the number of prisoners would be three times that of itself. Needless to say, this was another great victory.
"Transfer home." Feng Wanli said with an excited face, laughing, and then turned around and entered the cabin, where Chief of Staff Seki was interrogating the Japanese named Kuramoto Tsutsumi. Presumably he must know whether
Little news.
As expected, Feng Wanli learned a very important thing from Kuramoto Quan's mouth. The reason why Japanese warships were able to intercept the Jizhou Army's merchant ships at sea last time was actually the information Gaya Xiaowang Ke wanted to provide.
When he learned the news, even the Chief of Staff Guan Zhi was very angry. "This little king of Gaya has gone too far. They are no match for the Japanese. They actually have our idea and want to
We must not let him go if he diverts trouble to the east."
"Yes, I suggest that the brigade commander inform His Highness of the news immediately. As for the punishment, it will be done according to His Highness' wishes." Feng Wanli nodded. He was also very angry. If not for the fact that they were in
In the administrative area of Koryeo, I am afraid that there will be no requests for instructions, but will be executed first and then reported.
...
Zhong Mu was very lucky. Running all the way allowed him to escape from Liaozhou, across the Luanhe River, and to Pingcheng. Compared to General Chen Peng, who was captured on the road, he was certainly lucky.
As soon as he entered Pingcheng, he revealed his identity, and then sent people to ask for help from Daliang City. Although the Luanhe River blocked the pursuit of the Jizhou Army behind him, he thought it could only block it for a while, not for a long time.
Zhong Mu still has some abilities. At least when he led two thousand defeated troops to escape across the Luan River, he knew how to send people to burn the wooden bridge and destroy the boats crossing the river on the shore. This made him feel relieved.
, thinking that being able to slow down the pursuit speed of the Jizhou Army and wait until Emperor Qianying sent reinforcements would be regarded as a kind of meritorious service and atonement. Maybe His Majesty would be happy and not kill himself.
Daliang City.
The help seekers sent by Zhong Mu rushed to the palace and brought the news of the defeat of the Liaozhou Army. Tang Qingchuan, who was sitting on the golden dragon chair, turned red and white.
Emperor Qian Ying was really angry. It was an army of 100,000, and 50,000 of them were made up of elite veterans. And with the strong city of Ningcheng blocking them, they shouldn't be defeated no matter what.
Even if we lose, we won't lose so miserably.
Now it seems that he either underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Army or overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Liaozhou Army. He had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he didn't know how many times he scolded Tang Ao, but the matter was urgent and reinforcements should be dispatched.
We still have to send troops, otherwise if Pingcheng is lost, it will be equivalent to losing the northern barrier, which means that the Jizhou Army can attack Daliang City at any time, and that will be really dangerous.
General An Zhiwu was summoned and asked him to lead 50,000 reinforcements straight to Pingcheng immediately. He must hold on there no matter what, and first stand firm before talking.
Being able to gather these reinforcements so quickly is also thanks to the appearance of Emperor Qianwen. It was precisely because Chen Bing was in Qingzhou and put a lot of pressure on Suzhou that Tang Qingchuan was ready to send out the second reinforcement army. Now is the time to directly
Send these 50,000 reinforcements to Pingcheng.
Tang Qingchuan, the Qianying Emperor who thought he was already very fast, prepared food, grass and baggage in just two days, and sent an army of 50,000 towards Pingcheng. But he did not know that this was destined to be useless.
Compared to his quick reaction, Jizhou Army's speed was faster.
