Chapter 138 Father-in-law Ru Yu and Qi Reborn!
"English officers and soldiers should still be stronger than the navy. They dare to show their bayonets at critical moments. This is the spirit of the imperial army that we have always emphasized..."
On the East Asia, Eunuch Wei said this when he witnessed the army soldiers rushing to charge towards the Japanese occupying the island like dragon boats.
Wang Ermazi, an adjutant of the base camp next to him and also served as the official of the father-in-law Jinhuo, quickly took a pen to record the matter so that the latest internal references of the base camp will be released for the Imperial Army soldiers to learn.
The courageous spirit of the army officers and soldiers did encourage the imperial army to go up and down. The naval officers and soldiers watching the battle involuntarily cheered the army warriors on the ship.
The Japanese soldiers on the island were also frightened by the Ming army coming from all directions, but they did not surrender. Instead, under the command of the leader Taoyanmen, they used their mesh guns to prevent the Ming army from landing.
The sound of guns suddenly appeared on the sea and white smoke filled the sea.
After attacking each other, Taoyan Sect ordered his subordinates to wield their blades and prepare to break through the siege. This situation was soon discovered by Shen Shikui and Li Yanzhao, who were commanding the battle on the front line of the army, and they took different measures.
Shen Shikui waved his flag and ordered the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade to gather together to concentrate firepower to deal with the Japanese soldiers' breakthrough. However, Li Yanzhao ordered the attack to stop and waved the flag to the navy for artillery cover.
Eunuch Wei refused to comment on the two's approach. Seeing that now, he has confirmed that the number of Japanese soldiers is not only not as many as a few hundred, but only more than a hundred.
This gave my father-in-law a headache. How to "decorate" more than a hundred Japanese pirates with more than a thousand people?
The Japanese soldiers' forced breakthrough failed because they needed to grab the Ming army's boat. However, the direction they chose was Li Yanzhao's troops who ordered the stop to land, which made the plan to seize the ship fail.
The Ming army infantry from other directions had approached, and their commanders cleverly united the boats, which also cut off the idea of Taoyanmen snatching the boats.
As a last resort, Taoyan Sect had no choice but to lead their subordinates to defend the island. They resisted wildly with etheric swords and iron spears, and the reefs spread all over the world were also hiding in the Japanese soldiers.
Due to the influence of the seawater tide, some officers and soldiers' muskets were difficult to start, which made it difficult for the battle to end in a short period of time.
Ichiro Sanada also saw that there were only more than a hundred Japanese soldiers. The first brigade and father-in-law's personal guard camp were several times more powerful than the other side, but he was unable to eliminate the Japanese soldiers for a long time. He couldn't help but be angry and waved the flag to order Shen Shikui's troops to attack, and ordered the second brigade and the third brigade to disembark on the battle.
At this time, Eunuch Wei's banner came from the East Asia, ordering to suspend the attack.
Ichiro Sanada was puzzled and took a boat to the East Asia to ask why he stopped the attack.
"Sana, you and I have been together for a long time. Don't you know that I am most reluctant to trade the lives of soldiers for victory? You must know that every Imperial Army soldier is the precious wealth of my Emperor Ming, and they cannot sacrifice it easily!"
Eunuch Wei was dissatisfied with Sanada's behavior of having his soldiers win the life of his soldiers. He pointed to the island occupied by the Japanese soldiers, "There are many reefs here, and it is easy to damage the boats. The Japanese soldiers are short and familiar with water. If they hide among the reefs and wait for me to go to the island and suddenly ambush them, the officers and soldiers who land on the island will be greatly damaged... It is not worth it, it is not worth it."
My father-in-law shook his head.
Sanada Ichiro felt guilty for asking his father-in-law for guilt, and then asked him how he would deal with the Japanese pirates if he didn't attack.
The father-in-law smiled and said, "It's better to lure it and capture it." After that, he ordered someone to call fellow Taoist Akashi who surrendered in the previous period.
Soon, fellow Taoist Akashi took a boat to approach the Japanese island and shouted: "The Japanese on the island listened to you. You have been surrounded by groups, and your lives are just in a moment! Now, the Imperial Army asks me to give you a message. If you have not committed a crime in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you explain the matter clearly, the Imperial Army will give you a way out! Otherwise, you will all die!"
Taoyanmen felt familiar when he heard the Japanese shouting. He looked at the reef where he was hiding. He looked at it and saw that the one who summoned them was not the separated fellow Akashi!
He immediately called out to ask fellow Taoist Akashi why he surrendered to the Ming army. Akashi answered truthfully, and said that the Imperial Army was very good to him and his subordinates. They no longer worked for Murayama and his son, but became a glorious member of the Ming Imperial Army.
"Taoyan Sect, don't think about it anymore. You have also seen that the Imperial Army has no less than 10,000 people and more than 100 warships of all sizes. You will definitely not be able to defend it with your hand alone. If you continue to resist stubbornly, there will be only a dead end!"
At this time, the small Ming army flag beside fellow Taoist Akashi also shouted: "The Imperial Army treats prisoners with preferential treatment!"
Nani?
Taoyan Sect didn't understand Chinese, so fellow Taoist Akishi hurriedly explained to him. Taoyan Sect was quite moved, but he was hesitant. He was worried that fellow Taoist Akishi would betray him, and that if he surrendered, his head would be chopped off by the Ming army.
"Don't worry, give them some time, anyway, our family has time."
Eunuch Wei is not in a hurry. The tide will not rise for a while. Besides, the Taoyan Sect and the others have been trapped for several days. The tide has not risen. If Eunuch Wei really comes, the tide will rise. That is why God wants to fulfill Taoyan Sect. How can Eunuch Wei do it against the will?
Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, a large black boat and two fishing boats suddenly appeared on the sea. The three boats found that the Ming Dynasty warships densely spread in front of them did not turn around and ran away, but rushed in frantically, and saw that they were coming to rescue Taoyanmen and the others.
"These Japanese pirates are loyal."
Eunuch Wei praised, and then ordered the navy to immediately sink the three Japanese rescue ships. The navy general Wang Dali personally commanded the battle, but listened to the rumbling of cannons and the sound of guns, the spears of spears, the firearms and thunderstorms, and after a stick of incense, the three Japanese rescue ships were sunk.
The naval officers and soldiers then stepped forward to kill the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water, killing 94 enemies and capturing 35 more. After interrogation, it was because of the Murayama tribe who came from Ryukyu, and the purpose was to rescue the stranded Taoyan Gate.
But these Japanese people didn't know that Taoyanmen and the others were surrounded by the Ming army. After discovering it, they could not retreat. They had to bite the bullet and come to rescue the siege, but ended up in a complete defeat.
The Japanese soldiers who fought on the sea in the distance saw it. Seeing that their rescue ships and three ships survived, the Japanese soldiers were suddenly motivated. Taoyanmen knew that there was no other way to survive, so they called for surrender. However, some stubborn elements did not surrender with Taoyanmen, but chose to commit suicide.
Shen Shikui's troops were ordered to go to the island to surrender, and they captured 97 Japanese surrendered people and rescued 23 looted fishermen. In addition, they also captured two traitors who led the Japanese soldiers.
The Ming army was not killed, only 11 people were injured, which was extremely low.
After hearing this, Huang Chengxuan, who was far away in Fuzhou, sighed and said, "I have been born fifty-one in the battle of Dongsha. I have never seen such a soldier who has not died. He does not break half a arrow, does not waste food, and does not waste time. He leaves like a leaf, returns as if he is a pig, and he will finish it quickly and quickly. It is difficult and easy to achieve success. If Yu and Qi are born again, he should also agree."
