Beiyang new warlord

"This is?"

It's really weird, this formation is a bit like a pig's head formation, facing forward, with three spikes protruding out, but no matter how you look at it, no matter how you feel it is wrong, after looking around for a while, Zheng Zhilong suddenly roared in fright and anger.

"Pass the banner, let Zheng Jingshi Daxuan speed up the march, these grandsons will run away!"

It's really called wretched, no wonder it looks awkward, it's basically a triangular sailing array, no wonder the three points, facing Zheng Zhilong are all the ship's buttocks, the sails are all reversed, Mao Jue's subordinates seem to be really cowards, The battle hasn't been fought yet!Just fucking run!

It's a pity that he shouted a lot late, and there were several miles away. The Dongjiang battleship that raised its sails flew out like a rabbit seeing an eagle. Those light boats on the right were indeed speeding up. , under the roar of Shi Daxuan and Zheng Jing, the pirates who rowed were exhausted and spit out white foam. The fast boats rushed out with all their strength, but they could only watch their butts getting farther and farther away.

Naval battles are like this. Looking at the summoning, I really can’t get up quickly. After chasing for more than an hour, the fire still broke out, but Zheng Jun’s formation was completely broken, and the lightly packed right-hand Clippers surpassed the main formation. After more than six kilometers, they caught up with the tail of the Dongjiang Fleet on the outskirts of the strait, and the main battleship with strong firepower and sufficient personnel could barely rush to the edge of the port of Iki Island, where the Dongjiang Army just stayed.

Amidst the panting of those assault fleets, the Dongjiang Fleet, which had just slid back like a rabbit, suddenly stood up. Amidst the creaking and trembling of wood, eleven 45-meter second-level battleships and three 30-meter third-level battleships The battleship slowly turned the bow of the ship, and in Zheng Jing's puzzled eyes, there was another burst of rattling, and the next second, the hair on his back couldn't help but stand up, and out of the dark holes one after another All come from the muzzle of the black hole!

The light boats all use assault hand-to-hand combat and ship burning as the main means of combat. The long-range firepower is infinitely close to zero. Those big boats of your lord are still several miles away, so if you don’t cut you, you will keep you!

"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!"

Full of fear, Zheng Jing roared like a chicken with its throat cut, but before it was too late, amidst the wretched smile of Dongjiang Commander Pang Pangshan, the artillery commanders at all levels yelled out strange words unique to Dongjiang.

"Fat Master!"

In an instant, 110 Hongyi cannons spit out black, smoke-laden artillery fire at the densely packed Zheng Jun fleet.

Six miles away, the big boat walked for 21 minutes, enough for the Dongjiang gunboat to fire three rounds of artillery, then patted its buttocks and continued to run. In the end, it was the shrapnel, grape bullets, and heavy artillery shells with the ability to destroy ships fired by the Hongyi cannon! When Zheng Zhilong arrived, the exhausted assault fleet was in a mess, 37 warships were in a state of sinking, and several light ships that were supposed to be fire boats burned ragingly, turning into several big torches, floating everywhere on the sea Some of the thumping Zheng Jun pirates were corpses, and some were still screaming in terror. The smell of blood attracted sharks, and they began to have triangular fins entrenched ferociously around them.

After so many years of naval battles, it was the first time that I felt like IQ was being shown off. The annoyed Zheng Zhilong slashed at the wood of the bow with a big knife, and immediately turned his head angrily, pointing at Iki Island behind him and roaring angrily.

"Go to the island! Kill!"

Chapter 325. Play slowly

From the perspective of the whole battle situation, Mao Jue lost.

The port of Iki Island was captured by Zheng Jun, and a hole was opened on Kyushu Island. If the Yuan Kou defense wall was effective more than 400 years ago, it is now a historical relic, with a one-meter-high crushed stone parapet, and Zheng Jun's red barbarian cannon. After less than 1000 bombardments, it broke through. On the second day after capturing the port of Iki Island, a Zheng Jun pirate force of about [-] people invaded the Amakusa Islands and opened up an outpost on Kyushu Island.

In the first stage, Zheng Jun had already gained a foothold in the country of Wa.

It's just that standing on the fort on the small hill at the head of Nagasaki City, looking through binoculars at the densely packed Fujian sea ships moored in the cement port that originally belonged to Dongjiang on Iki Island, Mao Jue had a sincere sneer on the corner of his mouth.

400 years ago, it was not only the violent hurricane of Japan that defeated the invincible Kublai Khan Mongolian army!

Iki Island, Ishida County, Duzi Village.

Because of the war, no one is planting rice in the village this year. The fields are as dry as tortoise shells, and the low Japanese houses are scattered here and there. A dozen or so rat-like figures are nestled together. I don't know what to do.

Originally, he wanted to enter the village quietly, not with guns, but with this appearance, the pirates were not interested in playing tricks anymore, and a pirate with big teeth and crooked heads swaggered in.The broken straw sandals smashed the jar into pieces with a bang, and roared with big teeth bared.

"Heavenly Dynasty Zheng Longtou's army is here, and he ordered the collection of grain and grass. You troublemakers, hurry up and take out the grain, or you will all die!"

"Hey! Didn't you hear what Jun Ye said?"

I haven't seen these tattered Japanese villagers move for a long time, and they are still standing there in a circle, not knowing what they are doing. The big open teeth suddenly became angry, and they went up and kicked an old woman on the back. The Japanese were originally short. The kick still passed with anger, and the old lady just gurgled out like a ball.

However, before continuing to scold, Da Kuoyazi suddenly kept his eyes closed, followed by a magic barrier, followed by covering his mouth suddenly, and vomited to the side, which made the pirate subordinates stunned, but followed After looking at it twice, these guys also choked their throats and became disgusted.

To be honest, these Zheng Jun pirates are really not a good thing. They kill people like hemp, and they kill people with knives. They can rob people of their last morsel of food without mercy, and let women and children starve to death.Can make these scumbags so moved, it shows how tragic it is.

No matter it is in the Wudang Mountain area of ​​China, Lee's Korea or Japan, there is a custom of abandoning the elderly. For a long time, the 60-year-old will be directly discarded in the mountains and left to fend for itself. Although with the development of productivity, the elderly also I got support, but now it is considered a disaster year. The young people in the village either fled to Ishida Castle or retreated to Iki Castle. These elderly people were all left behind.

The rats in the village were all eaten up, and people starved to death one after another. One can imagine the only thing that could be eaten.

Leaving behind a group of zombie-like old guys, Da Kuo Yazi fled out in embarrassment with a group of Zheng family pirates.

Iki Port.

Zheng Zhilong was very puzzled, and tapped the concrete surface of the port with the tip of his crutches. It was the first time he saw such a large piece of "integrated" bricks and stones to build a port, even if he was well-informed.

Accompanied by him, Chen Yonghua's old face was blue and white, and he kept cursing there.

"This guy surnamed Mao is so terrific in his work. In more than a dozen villages, except for lunatics, there is not a single chicken feather left!"

It was not only kamikaze that made the Mongolian and Yuan troops stagnate at the seaside, even if there was no typhoon, the Yuan army would have to retreat. It is ridiculous to say that it was these little Japanese who were too poor to defeat the mighty Mongolian Tianjiao.

The Mongolian army, which is accustomed to fighting to support the war, once defeated the samurai of the Kamakura shogunate in Hakata Bay during the first Yuan Day war. However, in the poor Kyushu, the Mongols could not collect the food and grass to support the army. The Japanese themselves They were all hungry, thin and small, and the little food was not enough to fit the teeth of a strong Mongolian man.

Now Mao Jue is doing even better. The entire population of 3 people in Iki Island was moved to the county town by Mao Jue, except for the old and immortal. The island did not even leave the rats. It used to be greatly strengthened with stone fortresses, and equipped with a number of large cylinders. Zheng Jun's naval battle was very powerful, but the siege was much weaker. Zheng Chenggong's battle to retake Taiwan still relied on the siege to force the Dutch to surrender. Shell, for a while, Zheng Jun had no choice.

Therefore, to win Iki Island, apart from winning a safe anchorage, Zheng Jun didn't get any supplies.

The Amakusa area is good to enter the country. The Amakusa Islands were basically captured by the Zheng army. The Kyushu outpost that the Mongolian army dreamed of capturing is now in their hands. But the last Amakusa Shiro rebellion, Amakusa and Shimabara were not In the center of the war, there was no need for Mao Jue to fortify the walls and clear the fields. The place is already empty, and there is still nothing to gain.

When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, he called Hanzhong "chicken ribs", but the chicken ribs were better and there was a bit of meat. The two large areas did not even have a bone for Zheng Jun.

There are more than 4 people, and it is not a small amount for people to eat horses and chews. Even if three treasure ships can be loaded, they took oaths in Fuzhou for more than February, and now it is more than April, and more than half of them are consumed. If they consume more, Chen Yonghua is afraid to go back hungry. .

"Dragon Head! We can't delay here any longer. We must approach the north or attack Nagasaki immediately. Hurry up!"

As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, Chen Yonghua was sweating profusely, but at this moment, Zheng Zhilong couldn't be in a hurry, and he was still studying the strange boulder on the ground without raising his head. waved.

"Mr. Chen, it's too late!"

"Nagasaki City has Mao's giant cannons. With one shot, all the masts and sculls are pierced. The Mao's many Western warships in Hakata Bay have strong ships and powerful guns. It is useless to attack. It will only damage the soldiers. For the current plan, we should go in the middle. , Dobu's soldiers, out of Shimabara, Hizen, heading straight for Satsuma!"

Finally, he turned his attention away from the concrete, and Zheng Zhilong patted Chen Yonghua on the shoulder with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, didn't there be news from the insider last night? That Mao Jue Huangkou boy failed to dominate the Wa Kingdom. The north of Lake Biwa was still ruled by the former Japanese shogun. We disrupted his position in Kyushu. Those Japanese people in the north Then go south and attack on both sides, this Mao will be in chaos!"

Laughing, Zheng Zhilong picked up a stone casually, and threw it into the sea viciously, but looking at his back, Chen Yonghua's face was full of astonishment, and finally bowed his head silently .

I have followed Zheng Zhilong for too long, and he knows Zheng Zhilong too well. The two sentences he said are full of pride and fear, which shows that Zheng Zhilong has no fighting spirit. In other words, he is scared!

Now Zheng Zhilong is just starting to hold on for the sake of face, hoping that the shogunate in the north he said can win some air. If there is no movement, then the end of this war for the Zheng family army is to negotiate and retreat before the supplies run out.

But this situation is definitely not what a wise man would like to see!

To talk about it, when Song Xiance came to the envoy, he agreed to it. Why spend dozens of warships, thousands of people's names, and get Mr. Zheng into it? After paying such a big price, what will Mao Jue give? Are you in good condition?

Besides, Chen Yonghua knows all too well that Mao Jue is definitely a hero. Iki Island and Amakusa Islands Dongjiang can't hold on, but he just lets go so easily. His strategic purpose is to hold back the Zheng family's fleet! The Zheng family has more than 4 people Elite soldiers and powerful generals are not enough to worry Mao Jue. The advantage of the Zheng family army is its unparalleled navigation capabilities, which can launch an attack on any part of the sea in Japan. Zheng Zhilong, the leader, was tied in Nagasaki Bay by the two yokes of Iki Island and Amakusa Islands.

Chen Yonghua doubted that Mao Jue was the one who was willing to stop fighting so easily to make peace with such a big battle situation.

The best strategy for the Zheng family today is not even to attack, to fight Nagasaki, or to fight Hakata Bay, but just to go to sea, go north along the coastline of the Japanese country, and use their good skills as a pirate. Wherever you pinch, you can make a fortune if you catch one!

The Toyotomi regime has only been established for a year, and it has not yet stabilized. As long as the Zheng family's fleet's harassment makes the daimyos along the way have enough fear, Mao Jue will either have to cry for peace! Or send a fleet to risk a decisive battle with the Zheng army. That is also because Zheng Jun has the right time and place, and he can choose a time and place that is beneficial to him to start the war, just like the battle of Liuluowan that defeated the Dutch.

It's better than staying here and watching God's face! From Amakusa to Hizen?The shore is full of Japanese territory, with tens of thousands of warriors. Mao Jue himself didn't dare to take such a military adventure back then. How could he be joking with Zheng Jun?
