Chapter 982 The Governor watched the battle quietly next to him

(0982)

The casualties were so heavy that some Japanese soldiers began to hesitate and retreat, and some officers felt that their legs were weak. The Hu Ben Army's muskets were so cruel that they were really terrified. This was not something that the body could resist! If you continue to go up, there was only a dead end and there was no possibility of survival.

The ancestors who came back from North Korea did not mention that the power of the Ming army and muskets were so powerful. It was incredible that they could kill them at such a long distance. The Japanese have always felt that the muskets they used were more advanced than those of the Ming team.

In the East, Japan was the first country to introduce advanced muskets in the West. During the Warring States Period, Daming, who fought in various wars, purchased a large number of muskets from the Portuguese. Oda Nobunaga's three-stage strike was a new measure of using muskets. At that time, the Ming Dynasty used the ancient muskets he invented.

Later, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan and launched a war against Korea, the number of Japanese muskets equipped by the Japanese army was also quite large. The Japanese musket team was very active in the Korean battlefield. In the Battle of Bitutan, the Japanese muskets caused the Ming cavalry to suffer a great loss. All of these made the Japanese army feel that their musket skills were superior. However, when they looked at it now, they realized that the muskets in their hands were simply scumbags!

The muskets in their hands can only have some effect if they fire within a distance of 80 to 100 meters. If they want to hit better, the distance must be shortened to at least about 50 meters. However, the queue from the trestle to the Hu Ben Army is more than 120 meters away. At such a long distance, the muskets they fired are no longer fully accurate.

The musket in his hand cannot hit the enemy, but the musket in his hand can kill him. Such a gap makes the Japanese army's attack seem particularly difficult, and the number of deaths is also particularly amazing. In less than half an hour of charge, at least two thousand Japanese samurai or Japanese soldiers fell around the ten trest bridges.

The Japanese army in the 17th century had not yet developed to the point of desperation. What's more, the shogunate army involved in the attack, which had almost nothing to do with the emperor. After suffering such huge casualties, some of the Japanese army, including a small number of small-flag samurai, were shaken.

"Baga!"

“Onboard!”

Ryo Maeda roared so wildly.

He held the hilt of the commanding knife behind him and stared at the front fiercely. No matter which officer hesitated for a moment, he might be punished directly by him. There was no way, and the remaining Japanese army had to bite the bullet and continue to step onto the trestle and rush forward.

Of course, the Hu Ben Army would not allow the Japanese army to move forward further from the pier. After confirming that the Japanese army could only go ashore through the pier, the Hu Ben Army's shooting seemed more swift and more organized. It was absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to try to come from the pier.

Li Yang's artillery battalion also used grape bullets to lock the connection between the trestle and the Japanese warships, constantly pouring down dense marbles. All Japanese troops trying to participate in the attack must first bear the baptism of grape bullets, and only after passing by luck can they have the chance to step onto the trestle. This level alone will at least 30% of the Japanese troops will be ruthlessly screened out.

Fighting, entering a state of intense heat.

Fang He and Liu Dong were very confident when observing the situation on the battlefield from Qianlijing. The Japanese army's attack method was too monotonous, and they were completely sent to death. What the Hu Ben Army actually had to do was just to firmly guard the ten trest bridges. With the power of the Hu Ben gun, it was not difficult to do this.

"The second wave of Japanese warships has arrived again."

Suddenly, someone whispered in surprise.

Liu Dong hurriedly raised the thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the sea in the southwest. Sure enough, in the distance, behind the Japanese army at the port, a large number of Japanese fleets appeared. Judging from the various observed situations, the Japanese army still connected a large number of warships to each other to withstand the wind and waves and reduce the possibility of soldiers seasickness.

"The Japanese reinforcements are here!"

"Be careful, everyone!"

Fang He calmly ordered.

Judging from the observed situation, the Japanese army that reinforced them should have about 10,000. There were already 10,000 Japanese troops attacking desperately, but now there are 10,000 reinforcements. Suddenly, the Japanese army's strength increased to 20,000. It has to be said that this is still a bit stressful for the Hu Ben Army Marine Corps. The comparison of the forces between the two sides has exceeded 12 to 1. If the lethality of the rifled rifle was not huge, the Hu Ben Army would have to consider retreating.

Fortunately, there are only ten trests in the port, and no matter how many Japanese troops have, they can only go ashore through the trest. This greatly restricts the development of the Japanese army. Of course, the premise is that the Japanese army has not changed its combat strategy. If the Japanese army wake up and adopts the strategy of landing in multiple places, the Hu Ben Army will not be able to completely prevent the Japanese army from getting ashore.

"Good come!"

Ryo Maeda was so excited that he said proudly.

When the second wave of Japanese troops arrived, his troops increased to 20,000. With an army of 20,000, he would definitely be able to flatten Sado Island. With ten times the enemy's troops, if he could not quickly destroy the enemy, he would have no face to face.

What made Maeda Liang even more gratified was that soon after, the third wave of the Japanese army arrived again. The third wave of the Japanese army also had 10,000 people. At this point, all the Japanese army finally appeared. The comparison of the forces between the two sides suddenly increased to 20 to 1. The pressure on the Hu Ben Army increased again.

Hundreds of Japanese warships were connected to each other, and the scene was indeed very spectacular, with a bit of a feeling of covering the sky and covering the sun. A large number of Japanese soldiers lined up behind and tried to rush up from the trestle. The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army just had to shoot with their eyes closed. Anyway, even if they closed their eyes, they could hit the target.

...

"Sir, the fight has started in front."

Wang Junyu whispered.

When the battle for the trestle was at its most intense, Zhang Zhun quietly arrived at Sado Island. The warship he was riding was quietly anchored about five miles from the port of Aikawa Castle, and he could see the battle around the port. The Japanese army in the fierce battle did not notice the great general of the Hu Ben Army who was peeping quietly beside him.

The reason why Zhang Zhun came to Sado Island quietly was very simple, because he didn't want too many people to know that he left the Central Plains. At present, in the Central Plains, the progress of the Hu Ben Army has been quite smooth. As the general of the Hu Ben Army, Zhang Zhun has a lot of things to do. However, Zhang Zhun attached great importance to Sado Island, so he had to come here to take a look.

In this day, there are many people who are familiar with the Central Plains, and there are too many people who are familiar with the Central Plains, and they are more familiar with Zhang Zhun. However, when it comes to familiar with Sado Island, familiar with landing operations, and familiar with modern naval warfare, in this day, no one can surpass Zhang Zhun.

If you let go of the matter in the Central Plains for a while, there will be no big trouble. The Great Governor's Office of the Hu Ben Army can already operate effectively and handle daily military and government affairs. The situation in Sado Island is different. This is a brand new way of combat. Even the Marines of the Hu Ben Army are not very familiar with the modern warfare methods. As a time traveler, Zhang Zhun must stand at the forefront of the battlefield.

Arriving from the Dagukou Military Port near Tianjin Guard, Zhang Zhun floated on the sea for more than 20 days before coming to Sado Island. As a result, he happened to encounter the Japanese army launching a large-scale attack on Sado Island. Zhang Zhun stood on the deck of the flagship, holding a thousand-mile mirror, and carefully observing everything in front of him.

"Does the Japanese fight like this?"

Wang Shide asked curiously.

"It's almost the same!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly.

He originally thought that when the Japanese army could not fully deploy their troops, they would land from other places on Sado Island to expand more troops and dilute the firepower of the Hu Ben Army. However, judging from the current situation, the Japanese army was indeed stubborn and wanted to desperately take down Aikawa Castle. If the Japanese commander was really Ryota Maeda, this guy would be too arrogant.

Why is it said to be arrogant, not stupid? Because Maeda Ryoto should not be a stupid person. A stupid person cannot sit in the position of the shogunate master. Just like a stupid person, it cannot become the prime minister of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. The situation in front of him can only be explained as this guy is disdainful of changing his tactics and believes that he can take down Sado Island by just starting a constant attack like this.

Yes, for the Japanese, Aikawa Castle is a fragrant bone. You can catch it with just a little effort. What is the point of dying a little? Where can there be no one who dies? As long as the one who dies is not yourself, what does it matter?

Aikawa Castle is the largest port on Sado Island. Taking Aikawa Castle means controlling the lifeblood of the logistics transportation of Sado Island. If the Aikawa Castle port is lost, even if the Tiger Army still sticks to Sado Island, there will be many inconveniences in the transportation of logistics supplies. Ryo Maeda has enough reason to believe that it is impossible for the Japanese army to be unable to defeat Aikawa Castle after so many troops were dispatched.

In fact, if the Tiger Bing Army is equipped with an ordinary smoothbore gun, Aikawa Castle may have been lost. A normal smoothbore gun will definitely not provide the powerful lethality of the Minnie gun. When the smoothbore gun is fired, the Tiger Bing Army, which is less than 2,000 people and the Japanese army with 30,000 people, are afraid that after the first round of volleys, the entire Tiger Bing Army will die.

From the Qianli Mile Mile, we can see that a large number of Japanese soldiers, like locusts, tried desperately to run over the trestle. Under the Minnie bombs of the Hu Ben Army, they were like swaying ducks, struggling constantly, and finally fell into the sea. The tops of the ten trestle bridges were long ago layered with corpses.

In the water on both sides of the trestle, in the sea where a large number of corpses floated, some Japanese soldiers who could swim tried to approach the shore from the sea. Even some Japanese soldiers who could not swim used debris and used lifebuoys to march towards the shore.

Due to the angle, it was indeed difficult for the Hu Ben Army to shoot directly to the sea. Some of the Japanese troops actually climbed onto the shore. They immediately shouted and rushed towards the Hu Ben Army's queue regardless of everything, and the situation suddenly became tense.

Fortunately, the Huben Army was prepared for a long time. A series of Minnie bullets swept over, and the Japanese troops who rushed ashore were all knocked down. However, the smoothbore guns fired by the Japanese army also caused several Huben Army soldiers to lose their combat effectiveness.

Fang He and Liu Dong made appropriate mobilizations based on the Japanese attack situation. Lu Liangyu's troops were transferred from the back to the front, strengthened the front firepower, and further blocked the Japanese attack. Six hundred Hu Ben guns and ten trest bridges were naturally foolproof.

Li Yang's artillery battalion also adopted the method of taking turns to prevent the artillery barrel from overheating. The focus of the artillery battalion's shooting was the connection between Japanese warships and trestles. A large number of Japanese troops had to gather here and then go to the bridge. As a result, a large number of grape bombs sputtered down, and the fallen Japanese troops were in rows.

The fallen Japanese army seriously hindered the Japanese army's own way of advance. There was no way, so they had to push all the bodies into the sea. After stepping onto the pier, the Japanese army had to constantly push the bodies of their companions into the sea to open up the road ahead.

"Baga!"

Ryo Maeda yelled impatiently.

With a 30,000 troops, it took more than an hour to take down the pier. It was simply incredible. The muskets of the Hu Ben Army were indeed too powerful. The artillery of the Hu Ben Army was indeed too powerful.

He seemed to have seen that Tokugawa Ie-gun had enough reason to mock his incompetence. In a vague way, Ryota Maeda felt that he seemed to have made a mistake. He should not be so despised by the Tiger Army. Perhaps, he should have changed his offensive strategy.

"Big boss, the attack channel is too narrow."

At this time, an officer finally bit the bullet and advised Ryota Maeda.

The officers who advised all had the positions of the flag-based company. In the shogunate army organization, the troops of the flag-based company are generally between 3,000 and 10,000, and the amount varies greatly. It seems that there are very few flag-based companys like Takata Sato with 30,000 people. Under the command of Ryota Maeda, there are seven flag-based companys.

After collective discussion, the seven flag books agreed that the key to the attack was that the number of ten trest bridges was too small, and the Japanese army could not be deployed at all. If they wanted to expand all their troops, they had to launch an attack from more places. In other words, they were landing in other places on Sado Island.

However, this involves changing Maeda Ryota's original decision. All of these seven flag books know that Maeda Ryota will not change his decision easily. If Maeda Ryota rejects their suggestions, they will have to go to the end.

"Big Master, we requested to stagger the three large rafts and dock in different places."

There was a qibo who mustered up the courage to make new suggestions to Ryota Maeda, preparing to stagger the three warship consortiums (the Japanese call it "big rafts") respectively, and landed in the middle and left and right of Aikawa Castle at the same time. Although the landing conditions on both sides of the left and right are not very good, it is always better than to die in vain.

"All right!"

Ryo Maeda said helplessly.

The suggestions from Qiben make sense, and Ryo Maeda is just right to find a way out.

Soon after, the Japanese warships began to move slowly towards both sides of Aikawa Castle. It seems that they are preparing to land on both sides of Aikawa Castle.

"What did you do?"

On the side of the Hu Ben Army, someone sneered in a low voice.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and thousands of casualties were killed and killed, and then they thought of broadening the channel for landing. These Japanese were really stupid. Well, to be precise, the Japanese were not stupid, they just underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army. If other troops were stationed at Sado Island, the Japanese army would have attacked long ago. If they were to say that fighting was worthless, these Japanese devils could be compared with the Tartars!

After dispersing the troops and landing in different places, the Japanese attack finally improved a little. When the Japanese army scattered, Li Yang's artillery battalion could not take care of so many places, and the killing effect was not so obvious. The Japanese army's landing operation went a lot smoother, and the number of Japanese troops who successfully arrived ashore was increasing.

Another half an hour later, a considerable number of Japanese troops began to appear on the land of Aikawa Castle. They shouted wildly and launched a tactical charge to the Hu Ben Army's position. However, they were still unable to rush into Aikawa Castle. The fortifications of the Hu Ben Army in Aikawa Castle were circular. No matter which direction the Japanese army launched an attack, they would be strongly blocked.

However, the Japanese attack team was indeed too dense. More and more Japanese troops successfully landed on the land of Sado Island, and the morale of the Japanese army was greatly encouraged. As if they saw hope for victory, they all seemed to be injected with chicken blood. There were three flag books, and they even participated in the attack in person. As a result, the Japanese troops became even more dense. When Minnie bombs hit, they could not evacuate the Japanese troops.

"Flying Thunder Cannon!"

"put!"

On the side of the Hu Ben Army, someone shouted in a low voice.

"Bang!"

There seemed to be a muffled sound. Immediately afterwards, something seemed to be shaking out from the position of the Hu Ben Army, and then landed in the Japanese army's team. Some of the Japanese army looked at the "big round cake" that was landing beside them curiously, and were at a loss. Suddenly, there was a light of fire all day, and the whole earth was trembling.

"Boom!"

A deafening loud noise came.

The Japanese army shrouded in flames disappeared instantly.

After the violent explosion, there was only a circular pit at the front of the position. There was a lot of chaos around the pit. No one could tell which ones were the limbs of humans and which ones were the debris that were blown away. The casualties of the Japanese army had only a rough number. The bundle of explosives fell just now, killing at least thirty Japanese troops, and I don’t know how many injured it. The originally dense Japanese army team suddenly became scattered and loose.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A continuous muffled sound came, and more explosive packs were fired out.
