Five hundred and fifty-ninth chapter shelling the camp gate
When Jiang Ming saw the Japanese pirates turning around, he smiled coldly, waved his hand to the soldiers to stop the pursuit, and then lined up on the spot and waited.
Although queuing to shoot was criticized by later generations, since this method of warfare can appear in history, it shows that it was valuable under the circumstances at that time. Especially when one party has a gun and the other does not,
There is no better way to fight than this.
Seeing the Japanese pirates entering the shooting range, Jiang Ming deliberately put the Japanese pirates closer before suddenly waving his arms.
"Fire."
‘Bang~bang~bang~’
The sound of revolvers sounded like firecrackers, one after another, and the Japanese pirates fell to the ground one after another.
This time, the Japanese pirates were even more frightened. They had just gained a little bit of courage, but before they could show off their power, they were instantly shot by the Ming army, including the gallbladder. The terror of lining up to be shot was no less than the artillery attack just now.
Just let the Japanese pirates run away without caring about anything.
Jiang Ming led the Ming army to advance steadily, hitting the target when it was necessary and beheading when it was necessary. Since the uncle's order was to kill everyone, Jiang Ming would naturally not let anyone alive.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ming killed the last exhausted Japanese pirate on the spot. Then he took his soldiers back to the ship. In this battle, the entire Japanese pirate army was wiped out, and the Ming army also suffered zero casualties.
"Well done." Han Du praised Jiang Ming with a smile.
But Jiang Ming felt a little embarrassed. He took out his revolver and said, "This gun is too sharp and has nothing to do with the general."
"You are wrong. No matter how sharp the gun is, it is very rare for you to be able to kill no one." Han Du said to Jiang Ming seriously.
Han Du touched his palms and said: "The warship has cannons, and we have firecrackers in our hands. In the future, we will have artillery and firecrackers that can shoot farther."
After glancing at Tang Ding and Jiang Ming, Han Du said earnestly: "Remember, the purpose of our navy is to use the best artillery and muskets to eliminate the enemy on the way to attack."
When Tang He heard this, he couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand, lowered his head and murmured: "Use the best artillery and muskets to eliminate the enemy on the way to attack?"
Han Du did not notice the strangeness of Tang He and ordered the warship to set off again. The purpose of this voyage was to clear out the Japanese pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it would not be enough to clear out just one Bashan Mountain.
After cleaning up the islands one by one, Handu found no trace of the Japanese pirates. Perhaps it was because these islands were too small for the Japanese pirates to gain a foothold.
It wasn't until a larger island appeared in front of Handu that traces of the Japanese pirates were discovered. Not only that, the Japanese pirates here were different from those in Xiaba Mountain. The Japanese pirates in Xiaba Mountain only used it as a resting place.
There is no business at all, just a few haphazardly built huts.
Although there are not many Japanese pirates here, they have formed a camp on the island.
Han Du put down the telescope with a solemn expression, not because he felt solemn about the Japanese pirates, but because he felt that the matter was serious.
As expected, Tang He immediately looked angry when he saw it, "What a bold Japanese pirate! How dare you occupy my territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
Changguo County has been officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty since the year of Hongwu. Although it has always been an island, the Ming Dynasty did not think much of it. Even officials were not stationed here. But this Changguo County is the Ming Dynasty after all.
The territory is part of the territory drawn on the Ming Dynasty territory.
In the past, Japanese pirates came to Ming Dynasty to make sneak attacks and reap some benefits along the coast. Because the coastline of Ming Dynasty was too long, it was impossible to guard against sudden attacks by Japanese pirates. Whether Japanese pirates passed by Xiaba Mountain or attacked the coast, as long as the Japanese pirates did not reveal their long-term occupation,
Although Ming turned a blind eye to his ambition, he was still able to endure it.
But now that the Japanese pirates have set up camp here, the nature is completely different. Setting up camp means that these Japanese pirates are preparing to occupy this place and do not want to leave. This means that they want to occupy the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast, not an inch was redundant. Every inch of territory was conquered by Tang He and others with bloody battles. How could it be taken over so easily by Japanese pirates?
This is why Tang He is furious.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak. At this time, its territory was actually occupied by others. If this spread, even Lao Zhu's face would be ashamed. If it cannot be taken back, it will be listed in the history books in the future.
It will definitely be remembered by Lao Zhu.
"Han Du, kill!" Tang He was furious, "Kill all the Japanese pirates!"
Tang He could no longer stand aside and watch Han Du lead the battle, and gave the order directly.
Seeing Tang He's angry face and serious expression, Han Du immediately replied solemnly: "Follow the order!"
Tang Ding personally led his soldiers this time, and together with Jiang Ming, they stormed the camp. Although Ming Dynasty had fire guns, the Japanese pirates suffered a big loss in the first confrontation. But that was all, and the Japanese pirates suffered a big loss.
After that, hide directly behind the camp and attack Daming in a cold way.
Because the camp occupies a favorable geographical location, Tang Ding led his men to charge several times and was unable to attack it, which resulted in many soldiers being injured.
Han Du saw some injured soldiers being carried off, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and he was so distressed that he almost shed tears. There were only 1,780 soldiers in the three warships, and even one wounded soldier would make Han Du heartbroken.
"Give them the order to stand down."
But Tang He had different opinions.
"One surge of energy will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. At this time, we can only attack forcefully, how can we retreat?"
Han Du still had a clear mind at this time, and did not want to argue with Tang He over this matter, nor did he want it to affect his judgment. He said: "Master, I see that the camp is not far from the sea. Move the boat forward."
If you lean closer, the artillery should be able to hit it. A strong attack will cause too many casualties, so it is better to let the artillery destroy the camp first and then attack it by force."
Tang He was stunned when he heard this. He was limited by his own thinking. He thought that artillery was invincible in water battles, but he never thought that as long as it was within the attack range of the cannon, even targets on the ground could be hit by artillery.
Attacked.
"Okay, okay." Tang He had nothing else to say after being reminded by Han Du.
Seeing this, Han Du no longer hesitated and immediately ordered, "Send an order for them to retreat. The warships move over and try to get as close to the seaside as possible."
Uh-huh~
The horn sounded, and Tang Ding, who was about to continue the attack, was startled when he heard it and couldn't help but look back at the warships at sea.
"General, retreat." Jiang Ming was at the side and saw the unwillingness on Tang Ding's face. He was afraid that he would cause some trouble, so he hurriedly advised him.
