Chapter 753: The Beacon Fire of the Great Ming Tribulation (6)
The news that the scouts of the Pou Nu Army's cavalry discovered that the Japanese pirate army did not cause panic. After all, only 10,000 Japanese pirates were not enough to cause panic among the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army who were famous for their land war. Ordinary soldiers of the Pou Nu Army had seen big scenes, and tens of thousands of people could only be considered a middle- and low-level battle for the Pou Nu Army. Even if there were only more than 10,000 Japanese pirates, Fu Ruige still ordered two thousand cavalry to quickly support the Chu Liuxiang army on the east side of the battlefield, and he was also afraid of unexpected situations on the battlefield. Fu Ruige had been familiar with the Japanese pirate wars many times. He gave orders to Chu Liuxiang to use the musket army formation and crossbow cannons to sluggish the Japanese pirate infantry, and finally use the cavalry to solve the final battle.
Before the battle, the Pou Nu Army preferred to cover the battlefield. Several scouts and cavalry teams were the first to eliminate the enemy scouts. Chu Liuxiang mobilized six hundred-man musket formations from the troops besieging the Japanese pirates' water camps, and twenty of the thirty crossbows that accompanied the army also dispatched twenty to prepare to fight against the Japanese pirate army. Chu Liuxiang was a veteran general in the Pou Nu Army who fought against the Japanese. He knew that the mentality of the Japanese pirates on Jeju Island was still very different from the Japanese local warriors in the decisive battle. He planned to use a one-character long snake formation to build a stable formation from ten muskets and 100-man musket formations, leaving two hundred-man musket formations as reserves to consume the army that came to attack.
Jin Chen, the leader of the Japanese pirates who led the troops to attack the Chuliuxiang army, was not a real Japanese, but a Han Chinese. The Japanese pirates on Jeju Island were complex, and they were mainly Japanese pirates, and most of the leaders were Japanese. Since the Japanese pirate leader Masayoshi Iwari died in the Hasensumu Grassland, his younger brother Nobita Iwari took over the position of the boss. It is not easy to be the boss in the robber's nest. The robbers gathered together to fight for the family and robbery and the fists were hard. Nobita Iwari was not capable of his brother, and the huge robber's family business was divided into several parts by ambition wolves. When the robbers became the boss of this sea area, the Japanese pirates on Jeju Island had no good days.
First, the main naval army was bitten by the Ponu Army Navy in the naval battle. The pirates lost the capital to dominate the sea and could only plunder the Korean people on Jeju Island. More than ten years ago, there were 50,000 Korean people on Jeju Island. Since the Japanese pirates occupied Jeju Island, the number of Korean people has decreased year by year. Especially in the past few months, the Ponu Army Navy focused on suppressing the seas outside Jeju Island. The Japanese pirates' lives have not been easy, and they can only plunder the Korean people again. To this day, the Korean people on Jeju Island have dropped from more than 50,000 to 3,000. Most of these remaining Korean people hid in Hanna Mountain to dig wild vegetables and survived.
The Japanese pirates could not grab food on Jeju Island and could not go out to sea to catch fish. They were waiting for the verdict of the Slave Army in despair. Jin Chen was from Taizhou, Zhejiang, Ming Dynasty, and defected to the Japanese pirates in the fifth year of the Tianqi period. Among the Japanese pirates on Jeju Island, the Ming Dynasty pirates accounted for 60% of them. Jin Chen was cruel and ruthless in doing things and knew how to endure when his strength was not good. Finally, he waited for the opportunity after the death of the leader Yasuo Yasuo. With the absolute advantage of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, he launched the Ming Dynasty pirates to fight with the Japanese pirates, interrupted Nobitao Iwasaki's legs and stole the position of the Japanese pirates.
Originally, Jin Chen planned to ambush the Po Nu Army that might land at 30 miles east of Jeju Port, but he didn't expect that the Po Nu Army staff would notice the ambush area of the Japanese pirates during the sand table deduction before the war. In addition, Chu Liuxiang wanted to shorten the distance to attack the Japanese pirates' water camp, and the ambush battle planned by Jin Chen fell into vain. The generals of the Po Nu Army not only passed many years of regular war teachings by General Zhang, but also had many years of practical experience. In terms of the layout before the war, the Po Nu Army had a complete staff system and could often find the enemy's direction through deduction. The Japanese pirate infantry had to travel dozens of miles to the new battlefield, and Chu Liuxiang's troops were waiting for the Japanese pirates to come to their doors. Compared with the two, the Po Nu Army had a greater chance of winning.
When Jin Chen led his army to eight miles away from Chu Liuxiang's army, the Ponu Army reinforced cavalry first arrived at the battlefield. Although the Chu Liuxiang's army had only more than 2,000 soldiers, there were also more than 2,000 new soldiers. Therefore, Chu Liuxiang believed that he could easily defeat the 10,000 Japanese pirate army. As Chu Liuxiang expected, Jin Chen had no experience in leading a large army of troops. He saw the thin musket army of the Ponu Army from afar, and couldn't wait to launch an attack. The Japanese pirate army used column marches, and launched an attack without waiting for the rear army to gather together, which violated the taboo on the battlefield. When the large group battles, the tactics of adding fuel to the attacking army were completely in the rhythm of the Ponu Army's war.
Chu Liuxiang, who was standing on a landbag, grinned when he saw the Japanese pirates launching such a hurry to launch an offensive battle. Chu Liuxiang ordered the cavalry to gather to advance to the right side of the enemy, and strive to prevent a Japanese pirate from escaping from fleeing the battlefield. The formation of Chu Liuxiang's troops in the Possess Army was not large, but it happened to jammed the Japanese pirates' retreat to the throat of the water camp. There were four small hills in the center of this battlefield, and the Japanese pirates lacked artillery, so Chu Liuxiang did not need to send people to occupy the battlefield to rush. Moreover, the scattered formation used by Japanese pirate infantry to attack was even worse than that of the Ming Dynasty's official army.
Under the strict military battle between the Po Nu Army, the scattered soldiers are always the targets of slaughter. As Chu Liuxiang expected, the sharpshooter team cruising in front of the Muskets Army opened fire on their own at a distance of 80 meters. Due to the complexity of Japanese infantry uniforms, the Po Nu Army was not easy to distinguish which officers were officers. The main target of the sharpshooters was the Japanese pirates with iron cannons. However, the Japanese gunners were not concentrated in one piece, but were scattered among the scattered soldiers. This was a test for the sharpshooter's gunshot technique.
In less than a moment, the battlefield within a three-mile radius was filled with the smoke of war and the sound of harsh muskets. The battlefield mist formed by the white smoke of the Pou Nu Army blocked the sight of the crossbow gunmen. The formation of the scattered soldiers of the Japanese pirates attack made the artillery team feel that there was nowhere to start. The gunmen could not see the battlefield clearly, and the officers did not issue the order for artillery bombs. The gunmen could only sit on the ground bored and listened to the screams of the Japanese pirates when they were hit by lead bullets. The gunmen were bored, which did not mean that Chu Liuxiang had nothing to do. Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was very good, he immediately ordered the two-wing musket army formation to attack left and right.
The musket army formation was quite comfortable to attack the Japanese pirate infantry on the flanks. They could see the Japanese pirate infantry falling under their lead bullets. The battlefield where the one-sided massacre of the enemy was always scattered. Just when the musket soldiers of the Pou Slave Army were fighting with a relaxed and pleasant battle, the Japanese pirates' attack speed suddenly accelerated. The Japanese pirate infantry held various weapons in their hands and shouted and dispersed in all directions. The muskets in the Musket army formation were puzzled, why are the Japanese pirates so evil in a battle? Why are they less afraid of death when they fight? The answer is not complicated at all. The rumbling sound of horse hooves came from behind the Japanese pirate infantry, and gave the final answer.
After completing the roundabout interlude, the Ponu cavalry successfully arrived behind the Japanese pirate infantry. It was always a very pleasant thing for the cavalry to attack the infantry from the enemy's side. At this time, the Ponu cavalry drove the Japanese pirates into the ambush circle of the musket army formation and immediately slowed down the speed of the horse to stay away from the battlefield. The Ponu cavalry was very clear about the range of his muskets. If he only thought about grabbing military merit, he might be killed by his brother's musket lead bullets. He cooperated on the battlefield many times to train the tacit understanding between the Ponu cavalry and the infantry, especially in good times, the Ponu cavalry knew when to stop.
The battlefield where tens of thousands of people fought, ended the entire battle with the victory of the Slave Army. In addition to expressing the courage of the Japanese pirates to die, the rest were all ridiculed by the stupidity of the Japanese pirates. Cleaning the battlefield was another pleasant job for the Slave Army. Veterans of the Slave Army could play with the recruits in this part of the war without being punished. When cleaning the battlefield, the veterans specially selected the Japanese pirates who were broken and not dead, and handed them to the children behind them for a final blow. The fun of veterans lies in seeing the recruits collapsed in that moment when they killed the first time. They were also played with by veterans when they were new recruits. At that time, veterans either vomited or were scared to pee their pants.
After many years of daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, these veterans could finally find their shadow in the new recruits. Unexpectedly, the kids from the Golden Wolf Camp were not cowardly at all in this link. They were never ruthless when they finished the fight, nor did they vomit, nor would they wet their pants. The kids in the Golden Wolf Camp practiced courage, starting from the execution of male and female slaves of all races who did not work. As long as the head of the family thought the slaves were too lazy and sent to the Golden Wolf Camp, they immediately became the targets of the kids' training, and they would eliminate a group of particularly timid people in the murder environment. Only by killing the slaves with their own hands and seeing blood can they become alternatives for the fighters of the Slave Army.
The Pou Nu Army is very important in military merits, and the Pou Nu Army General Zhang is even more fond of the children who have military merits. Only when he enters the future of the Pou Nu Army, the Pou Nu Army, will it be bright. Chu Liuxiang is not very interested in cleaning the battlefield, but he is the main general of this side and must go through the necessary links of the battlefield. Chu Liuxiang knows very well that he is not the General Zhang, and there are still a lot of errands waiting for him to finish after the battle. Chu Liuxiang has to deal with it after the war, and Zhou Xing, the head of the Intelligence Department, is looking for valuable living people to interrogate intelligence among the dead. Zhou Xing, the entire battlefield, heard Zhou Xing's voice the loudest scolding, and he is angry about not being able to find a living person for a long time.
Attacking the last fortress of the Japanese pirates on Jeju Island, Qin Yu'an led his team to three miles outside the water village. The location here is just right for the cannon position. Ten kilograms of artillery bombarded the wooden village wall, and no one thought how long the Japanese pirates could withstand it. Qin Yu'an led a large army to the southwest of the Japanese pirates. Ten kilograms of artillery built the cannon position in less than an hour. Chu Liuxiang's victory gave Qin Yu'an a great excitement. He fought overnight without any hesitation and ordered the cannon fire directly. Just one round of artillery bombarded the Japanese pirates' water village wall, and the amazing power overturned the wooden wall to the sky. The big hole of fifty feet wide exposed the Japanese pirates' soft belly to the front of the Possess Army. (To be continued)
