Chapter 697 The Last Battle

Outside the city of Pyongyang, there are nearly [-] Japanese soldiers, carrying long guns, and they are lining up there.

Among them, there are [-] Jianlu cavalry and [-] Jianlu infantry, also lined up there.

On the surface of the river, densely packed warships were docked, covering almost the entire surface of the river.

On the top of the city of Pyongyang, on the Japanese side, there are daimyos headed by Matsudaira Nobuzuna; on the other side of the Qing Dynasty, there is a group of people headed by Daishan, including Ying Erdai, Hong Chengchou, Aobai and others.

"According to the news, both Zheng Yiguan and Wu Sangui are still on Phi Island!" I heard Matsudaira Nobuzuna say to Daishan: "Now that the army has assembled, we should use the force of a thunderbolt to wipe out North Korea and the coastal areas of Liaodong in one fell swoop." Ming army!"

With so many troops assembled, they will not only want to capture Phi Island.

According to what they had discussed in advance, Jianlu sent [-] cavalry troops and [-] Japanese musketeers to sweep along the coast until they captured Lushun, which was taken by the Ming army.

As for the islands, the Japanese nation assembled about [-] warships, preparing to defeat Zheng Yiguan's fleet, and then transported Jianlu infantry and Japanese musketeers to the islands, taking away islands one after another.

At this time, hearing Matsudaira Nobuzuna's words, Daishan nodded with a smile on his face and said: "I heard that Zheng Yiguan was able to traverse the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty mainly because of the large number of ships. But now Zheng Yiguan only has more than 200 warships. Ship, our allied forces are more than twice as many as him, how will he fight this time?"

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, the second generation vassal of Satsuma, said in a cold voice: "Half of Zheng Yiguan's fleet is transport ships, not warships, but our Dawa Kingdom is all warships. The gap of one is not just doubled!"

People in the Qing Empire were tall, standing with them, there was invisible pressure, which made Mitsuhisa Shimadzu very dissatisfied, and when he heard something was wrong, he didn't give face at all, so as to offset the inferiority of height.

When Dai Shan heard this, his old face blushed. How did he know that the points were so small, and he couldn't get angry when he was bumped into face to face? Fight, it will be determined by one battle!"

"Our Dawa Kingdom has the greater advantage!" Kuroda Tadyuki, the second-generation vassal lord of the Fukuoka Domain heard this, but followed suit, "Where did you get the ship from the Qing Dynasty?"

Hearing that Prince He Shuoli was being yelled at continuously by the Japanese people, Ao Bai was furious, and immediately stepped over, looked down at the two dwarfs, and was about to shout angrily, but heard Dai Shan say flatly: "Back off!"

He spoke Manchu, which the Japanese could not understand, so Aobai naturally knew what he had said to him.

He didn't dare not listen to Daishan's words, but he was not willing to just shrink back like this, so he glanced at the large group of short men behind Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and said with a sneer: "The defeated generals, come to fight at any time if you don't accept!"

He said it in the official language of Daming, and then retreated.

On the Japanese side, some daimyos don't actually know the official language of Ming Dynasty, and only the daimyos along the coast, who used to do sea trade, can understand the official language of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Oboi, who was being tall and burly, shouted angrily, and for a while, no one really dared to answer.

But when they came to their senses, they also wanted face, so they were ready to attack Oboi because of the large number of people.

"Remember, we are allies with the Qing Dynasty, and we are enemies with the Ming Dynasty!" Seeing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna shouted angrily in Japanese, and sent them back.

Compared to other people, whether Daizen or Matsudaira Nobutsuna, they are considered to be those with brains.There have been unhappiness before, and now when we are sincerely cooperating, I don't want to have conflicts again.

No, after Matsudaira Nobuzuna finished speaking in Japanese, he switched to Ming Dynasty official dialect and shouted sharply: "Anyone who wants to hold their breath in their hearts should throw it at the Ming people!"

These words were not only addressed to his subordinates, but also to Jianlu.

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the group of daimyos behind him, and then announced loudly in Japanese: "Your Excellency General, we will divide the land in northern North Korea according to your military exploits!"

"Hi!" These big names, including Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, did not dare to talk back, and all responded loudly.

Not only the warships, but also the strength of the troops are all on their side, and there is no need to fight, the victory or defeat is already known.All that's left is to win the battle.One by one, of course they spoke loudly.

Afterwards, Matsudaira Nobutsuna gave an order, and the warship set off, while the infantry went overland to Dingzhou, which corresponds to Phi Island.

In North Korea, when these Japanese troops went north, they united with the Japanese troops who had arrived before, and swept all the way from south to north. Except for the Koreans who hid in the mountains, all other Koreans were arrested and reduced to slaves of the Japanese country.

As far as the present is concerned, for the Wa people, it is considered to be at peace.As long as the Ming army is wiped out again, the Koreans who hid in the mountains will be nothing to worry about.

For the Wa people, this battle was the last battle to completely seize North Korea.

Relatively speaking, the navy of the Japanese state had to make a detour, go to the mouth of the sea first and then go north, so no army on land arrived at the destination first.

More than 6 troops are stationed along the coast from Dingzhou to Tieshan, opposite Phi Island, waiting for the arrival of the navy.

Right under their noses, Daming's navy sailed swaggeringly on the sea.There were even some warships, which were closer to the shore, and then shelled, bombarding the Jian captives and the Japanese army, and had to retreat far from the coastline.

Looking at the arrogant Ming warships, Jianlu or Japanese soldiers, they all spit and cursed.

"Let you be arrogant, wait until the navy comes up, and make you look good!"

"Let you laugh now, and when we land on the island, we must chop you into pieces!"

"..."

Amidst the scolding, after a few days, I finally saw the vanguard fleet of the Japanese navy arrive.

About 100 warships, most of which were from the Satsuma domain, came to the north in a mighty way.

Seeing the Japanese army on the shore, they flocked to the coastline again, and all cheered, as if these Japanese warships were not here to fight, but had already returned after the battle.

Just as they were cheering, they saw more than 20 Daming No. [-] lucky boats facing the vanguard of the Japanese navy from the north.

There is no need to look at twenty ships versus more than 100 ships. These warships of the Ming Dynasty are really top-notch!

On the coastline, the soldiers of the Japanese army all laughed at the warships of the Ming Dynasty, laughing at them for being self-indulgent, laughing at their imminent doom.

But on Jianlu's side, Daishan and others were also watching from the shore, but they were not so optimistic.

Although they don't understand naval warfare, they have been fighting against Ming Dynasty for so many years, especially in recent years, which has made them realize that Ming's warships will never fly to the flames.

Therefore, under the incomprehension, Daishan, Yingerdai and others all looked at the sea with serious faces.

On the side of the Japanese navy, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu laughed, and immediately ordered his warships to line up in a row, and press down on them in a dark manner, scaring Zheng Yiguan to death in terms of momentum!

However, the twenty or so warships of the Ming Dynasty were also lined up, facing them with their sides.

"Huh?" Mitsuhisa Shimadzu said a little strangely when he saw it, "Since when did Zheng Yiguan imitate Xiyi's style of play?"

At least the pirate wars he learned about, or the naval battles of the Japanese, Korean, and Ming kingdoms, were mostly close to the ship-hopping battle.As for bombarding them at a distance, that's what Xiyi's warships did.

Are there any guns on the warships of the Japanese state?

Of course there are, but they are all based on Francophone cannons!

The characteristic of the Fran cannon is that it has a fast rate of fire, but its range is short and its power is not great. It is just used for killing before close-range jumping.

In addition, the warships of the Japanese state, whether they are Guan ships or large Anzhai ships, the main weapon is actually the matchlock gun.For this reason, they all have baffles on the side of the ship, and there are shooting holes on the baffles, which can protect the arquebus shooters at the same time.

At this time, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was surprised, and immediately took out the monocular binoculars he bought from the Dutchman to observe.

The fleets of the two sides are getting closer and closer. Mitsuhisa Shimadzu can see clearly through the binoculars. He found that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the lucky boat were already manipulating the hard sails on the boat, as if they were about to escape. ?

This is not right!

There's no reason to come in front of him and run away!

Just as he was thinking, he saw windows one by one exposed on the side of the warship of the Ming Dynasty, and then the cannons were pushed out one by one.

"Huh? It seems...it's not the Franco cannon!" Shimadzu Mitsuhisa stared at the muzzle carefully, suddenly shocked, and said immediately, "Quick, speed up, lean in, lean in!"

He saw it clearly, as far as the muzzle specifications were concerned, it was definitely not a Francois machine gun, but a heavy gun like the Dutch.

Compared with other daimyos, Satsuma has more contact with the Dutch, and there were Portuguese before, so they are very aware of the range of those heavy artillery.

The only way to fight is to lean up and jump overboard.

The reason why Guan Ship is called Guan Ship is mainly because the Japanese set up checkpoints on the main sea navigation routes and charged tolls for passing ships, so their ships are called Guan Ship, and some of them are equipped with oarsmen, which can be regarded as relatively fast. A fast boat.

When the Japanese warship was about to speed up, suddenly, a loud noise was heard.

"Boom boom boom..."

The warships of the Ming Dynasty ran away, and iron bullets roared towards the Japanese fleet, or landed on the sea, hitting a huge water column, or hitting the unlucky Japanese warship, and immediately the pieces of wood flew randomly , Japanese pirates yelled.

"Quick, quick, speed up, lean up, chase after!" Shimadzu Mitsuhisa shouted loudly, but he was surprised in his heart: When did Zheng Yiguan get so rich that he deployed so many heavy artillery?

He knew that Zheng Yiguan must have heavy artillery, but he didn't expect that there were so many heavy artillery!
Naturally, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu didn't know that with the help of Liu Weichao, Daming's steelmaking has been greatly developed, and the cost has been greatly reduced. The Hongyi cannons are all made of steel cannons.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong's own Hongyi cannon had already returned to the furnace.The heavy artillery of the Denglai Navy today was all equipped by the imperial court later!
