Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Five Fire Cannon Troops
The Musket Force is one of the three major battalions affiliated to the Shenji Camp. It was founded just to increase the strength of the troops, so the combat methods at the beginning were relatively simple. However, as time went by, the powerful people in the army slowly figured out a very practical and powerful method.
A brief introduction: Based on his long-term armed struggle experience, three major battalions were set up and the artillery army was officially introduced into the battle sequence of the Ming army. He hoped to use firearms to suppress the impact of the enemy, but the problem was that sometimes the enemy was facing extremely fast. Due to the restrictions on the lethality and shooting distance of the firearms and the time to change the powder, the musket soldiers were lined up into three rows. After the enemy soldiers advanced, the first row first fired the muskets, then the second row and the third row continued to fire. When the second row and the third row fired, the first row could calmly load the bullets to form a complete and continuous powerful firepower (set the muskets into three rows, and move forward and retreat in the array, and then follow them; if not retreat, the second row retreat, and then follow them).
Such a complete combat team made the musket play a great role. Even if there were thousands of troops in front, they could not match the three major muskets. Chu Yu had long seen Zhu Di's combat order in the Shenji Camp in the capital. Unexpectedly, Zheng He was once more domineering again and actually used all the cannons. While the three major muskets were acting, there were the Ming army's cannon battle queues. Just imagine, there were muskets in front and the cannons behind. No matter how powerful the offensive force was, he had to surrender. On this point, Chu Yu admired Zheng He very much. This person was a pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
Check the warships, arrange combat sequences, and arrange personnel. Just have Zheng He for these things. Chu Yu really doesn’t have to worry about anything. Zheng He has always been suitable for logistics, but he really doesn’t have that talent. Thinking of this, Chu Yu couldn’t help but laugh, what kind of thing he is suitable for doing.
Things went surprisingly smoothly. In less than a day, the entire army had already prepared almost. They had just waited for this wonderful tide night. Although Chu Yu knew a little astronomical knowledge, he was sure that the tide would really come? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the distance. At this time, Wu Ming raised his head and was just looking at the starry sky in the sky, quietly alone. In Chu Yu's eyes, it seemed that this person had always been like this, and he was always so mysterious and unpredictable.
Time passed by minute by minute, and some soldiers were very suspicious whether there was any marshal who was so angry. Although Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period could borrow the east wind, it was because Zhuge Liang had an indescribable genius and divination trick. It seemed that there was no trace of his marshal, so people were panicked and looked at Chu Yu who was waiting quietly with a questioning expression. Chu Yu was also like that. Although this woman said something was credible, she was afraid that there would be some differences in time. If there was a difference, wouldn’t she have to break the trust of the entire army? Then the charge was quite large. How could she convince the public in the future?
It seemed that God favored this mysterious woman. It did not disappoint Chu Yu's expectations. The tide finally slowly rose. Chu Yu saw the soldiers' eyes full of surprise and understood that this time his prestige had risen unprecedentedly. The tide became higher and higher as the moon fell little by little. Seeing the opportunity in front of him, everyone knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When did he not take action at this time?
After Chu Yu ordered, tens of thousands of people immediately boarded the lucky ship. Because of the great wind and waves, Cangshan ships had an iron chain fixed on the lucky ship. After the destination they arrived, they could head towards the island after unloading the iron chain.
A big battle is just around the corner.
The number of pirate bandits cannot be ignored. After all, there are thousands of people, and they can almost equip an army. Therefore, Chu Yu is very cautious and does not underestimate the enemy because of his weak opponent and advance rashly.
It is conceivable that although many of the officials at that time were involved in pirates and bandits, Chu Yu was restrained after killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Not all the officials were afraid at that time, one of them was an exception. Who was this person? Liao Kaiyuan, the general of the Fujian Navy Division.
This person had a close connection with Hydera, and he was even more inexplicable with Zhu Gaoxu. The reason why he killed Hydera and did not arrest Liao Kaiyuan was just because he was wise compared to Hydera. He did not act too blatantly. Hydera had a lot of evidence in hand, so he had to take Hydera and Liao Kaiyuan hid for the time being. Since Chu Yu took office, Liao Kaiyuan had already smelled a certain danger, and he also wrote a letter to warn Hydera to restrain himself. The marshal of the court was sent by this marshal.
It has a background, but Hydera relies on his close relationship with King Zhu Gaoxu of Han, so she doesn't take anyone seriously at all, let alone Chu Yu. It just so happened that Hydera's attitude gave Chu Yu a chance to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. After this time, Liao Kaiyuan hurried at home, sick in bed, hoping that Chu Yu would leave safely one day and be better and act arrogantly. Although he pretended to be sick at home, he would not be idle. He used his relationship and used his relationship to inquire about Chu Yu's marching plan, and asked someone to report to the pirate bandits.
Why did Liao Kaiyuan risk being beheaded to inform him? The reason is actually very simple, for the sake of profit and money. Just imagine, if Chu Yu went out this time and annihilated the pirate bandits in one fell swoop, then what else can Liao Kaiyuan get? This is not going to cut off his wealth!
In fact, there is another meaning in it. They are all using Zhu Gaoxu as a talisman. Of course, every year during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, they naturally have to pay some money to Zhu Gaoxu. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, Zhu Gaoxu will not have time to hide, so they will care about you. All of this requires a strong way to make money. Of course, pirates are the best way to make money, so even if Chu Yu has strict supervision, Liao Kaiyuan still tried every means to report the situation to the pirates.
It was too late when Liao Kaiyuan and his subordinates worked hard to send the information, because Chu Yu had no plan to inform the battle before, and just said that he wanted to attack the pirates. When he first heard the news, the pirates were still very scared. Later, he thought that the terrain here was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there were many caves, so he immediately put his heart in his stomach. Who knew that Chu Yu actually attacked on the dark moon and the wind and the tide night. This was a big deal for Liao Kaiyuan. The pirates who received the news were even more worried. I was afraid that their doomsday was coming. Since they were destined to die, let's fight to the death! Come on, the navy of the Ming Dynasty!
When Liao Kaiyuan saw this scene, he knew that his hard work was in vain. Well, since they were going to fight to the death, let them go, and then he took his subordinates to leave in a small boat.
The pirates were led by the Japanese Rankins, Yamatsuichiro. This man was originally a general of the Shogun. He was not only good at martial arts, but also good at strategy. When he was a Shogun, he was once appreciated by the general. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Following the sunset of the shogun, his son was very dissatisfied with the former general and looked for his problems everywhere. He had no choice but to go out to the beach to commit the family robbery.
Junichiro Yama knew that the Ming Dynasty was coming in full force and vowed to fight all of him in one go. Although he was afraid, he was determined to fight with the Ming army with his unyielding nature and swear to fight a battle even if he failed in the future. Even if he had a plan, he would have a clear conscience! Junichiro Yama took the lead in dropping blood, and thousands of pirates were bleeding together. Slowly, a large jar of wine dripped all over the blood. Everyone drank their own wine and vowed to fight with the Ming army.
When Chu Yu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the waves that were rising one after another, the blood on his body seemed to be boiling. What is incredible is that he was inexplicably at some point, but he was also looking at the waves in front of him with tears in his eyes. Chu Yu looked at it and was very curious, not knowing why this mysterious woman was acting like this.
Chu Yu walked over gently, pulled down his cloak and draped it on his shoulders. He turned around and looked at Chu Yu for no reason, and said softly: "Thank you."
Chu Yu just nodded without words, as if the two of them had no words to talk to each other, as if they had understood the truth. Chu Yu looked at her, a woman, alone, was recruited into the army as a strategist. What kind of mentality is this? A woman who should have taken care of her husband and children at home now has to endure the suffering of war. Is this caused by herself?
"Inexplicably, why are you here?" Chu Yu asked, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, with waves constantly slapping in front of her, which made people feel subconsciously scared.
