Great Song Pirate

Chapter 578
Zhang Bangchang ran back to Yanshan Mansion with his men in desolation and panic, and once again sent Kuaiqi back to Bianliang, Tokyo to report. Now Zhang Bangchang and others can confirm the thoughts of the Jin people. The one who turned against Da Song had already made up his mind to eat Da Song's territory!
But before his memorial was delivered to Huizong in Bianliang, Tokyo, Wanyan Zongwang brought nearly [-] Jin Guo cavalry to kill Yanshan Mansion, and without waiting for a reply from the Song court, he raised his troops , began to launch an offensive against Da Song.

Yanshan Mansion suddenly fell into chaos, Zhang Bangchang left Wang Anzhong behind, and immediately fled towards Bianliang, Tokyo with his entourage.

At the same time, Wanyan Zonghan in Xijing (Datong, Shanxi) also led tens of thousands of cavalry from the West Route Army, and began to attack and kill Taiyuan Mansion.

The Song-Jin war broke out completely at this point, and the northern border of the Song Dynasty was also completely plunged into chaos. After the news spread, the whole country of the Song Dynasty was shocked. Why did the Jin people treat me like this?..." Tokyo Bianliang was also in chaos.

Regarding these things that happened on land, Xu Yi didn't get any news at all, and he can't be blamed for this. Since he arrived in this era, the wheel of history has been running according to the original track, and nothing happened because of his appearance. Any change, in the past few years, Xu Yi gradually thought that no matter how he, a little butterfly, would keep history on its original track, so in his opinion, even if Song and Jin turned against each other, it would probably be the same. The war started according to the time of the later generations, but the two ships sent by Miao Fang did not know why, but they did not find Xu Yi in time and informed Xu Yi of this matter, so that such a big accident happened He still doesn't know about the matter, so at this juncture, he will continue to lead his army to toss in the West Kaido of the Wa Kingdom. Isn't this starting to attack Hakata Bay on a large scale!
The mouth of Hakata Bay was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the sound of rumbling guns resounded through the sky. The main ships of the Fubo Army lined up, and along the coast of Hakata Bay, flames spewed out from their ships one after another, shooting projectiles like falling It rained down on the Japanese army on the bank, and Thunder Cannons, Ballistas, and Crossbows fired at the bank with full force.

As soon as the battle started, the Japanese army stationed on the Haikou port was beaten to the ground. Those who had already prepared throwing cars and other things were beaten to dust by the Fubo army before they could be used. The Japanese army on the shore was even more Unable to parry at all, they could only leave pieces of corpses behind and retreat towards the inland. The first round of attack smashed their defense in Haikou to pieces, and it didn't play any role at all. .

The Fubo army fleet did not make any stops. After dispelling the Japanese soldiers on the shore and eliminating their threat to the fleet, they immediately began to attack Xuanjie Island. How could the thousand Japanese soldiers on Xuanjie Island He was able to fight against the Fubo army, but he was killed by the Fubo army after a face-to-face meeting. The rest of the Japanese soldiers who escaped by chance dispersed immediately after the main general was killed, and were tailed by some servants who landed on the island. After chasing and killing, it didn't take long to control Xuanjie Island and relieve the threat of the Japanese troops on Xuanjie Island to the fleet.

Not long after noon, the fleet of the Fuba Army entered Hakata Bay and headed towards Nokono Island. The fleet was divided into three, and the first team bombarded the Japanese troops on the shore along the south bank of Hakata Bay. , all the way to attack the Japanese army on Nokono Island, completely control Nokono Island, and start to attack Shiga Island on the north bank all the way, and along the north bank, fired artillery to bombard the Japanese army on the shore. Within half a day of the battle, the Hakata Bay The deployment of the Japanese army was completely disrupted, but the Japanese had no power to fight back except for being beaten. They could only leave batch after batch of corpses and retreat to the interior to preserve their strength. Today they have completely experienced the ambush. The strength of the Polish army, for these Japanese soldiers who had just picked up their swords and guns, such a brutal bombardment left a lingering nightmare in each of their hearts.

After a fierce battle, except for the patrol fleet that was still in Hakata Bay, all the other ships of the Fuba Army fleet entered Hakata Bay, and Fujiwara Jun and others tried their best to arrange them along the coast of Hakata Bay. Most of the long-range weapons such as throwing cars have been blasted into pieces by the Fubo army, and the Japanese soldiers who were finally arranged have already been scattered like birds and beasts.

At this time, the fleet of the Fubo Army suffered little damage, and it could even be said that the skin was not damaged. In this way, a large number of them gathered in Hakata Port and the coast outside the port. This is where the Japanese Army is most closely guarded. Compared with other places, the quantity of generals is also much higher, and the quality is much better. Many of them are private soldiers of the Muto family, which can be regarded as the elite of the Muto family.

The wharf is full of wooden rafts criss-crossed like forests, and Japanese archers are squatting behind the wooden rafts. Throwing carts, ballistas, and bed crossbows are erected on the wharf, and the Japanese in charge of the operations are waiting to watch Looking at the Fubo Army fleet raging in the bay, they stared dumbfounded at the continuous spewing flames from the Fubo Army's giant ship. When the Fubo Army fleet approached them, these Japanese were already too panicked to care about the Fubo Army ships. Before they entered the range, they released them with strange screams. For a while, ballistas, throwing carts, and crossbows were fired one after another, which was very lively. Unfortunately, they miscalculated the distance, and most of the things shot were plopping. Falling into the sea, even if a few crossbow arrows with extraordinary performance reached the ships of the Fubo Army, they had already lost their strength, and did not cause any damage to the Fubo Army fleet at all.

However, their actions immediately enraged the officers and soldiers of the Fubo Army at sea. Ships came across one after another, aiming the side of the ship at the dock. The Leigong Cannon rang again, and the bullets were smashed into the Japanese soldiers on the pier. Although the solid bullets were small, they could not hit a few people at a time, but the ground of the pier was covered with stones. When the bullet hits the ground, it will immediately stir up a piece of gravel. These flying gravels fly across the Japanese soldiers like scattered bullets. In addition, the jumping iron bullets continue to charge forward, and immediately give a blow to the Japanese soldiers guarding the pier. With heavy casualties, the entire pier immediately turned into a sea of ​​blood, and the weapons installed on the pier were immediately shrouded in bullets. Not only were the thunder cannons bombarded, but the ballistas on the ships were also within range. The bombardment began. This time they installed special clay bombs. The projectiles baked with these clays were smashed towards the shore. After the dry and hard clay bombs hit the ground, they immediately shattered, and the fragments flew horizontally. The Japanese ran away with their heads in their arms, and had no way to resist. Although the broken clay bullets were not necessarily fatal, they could beat people to pieces, and fractures were not a big problem.

In this way, after two rounds of artillery and ballista attacks, the Japanese on the pier were beaten to pieces and defeated, leaving the corpse of Paoze one after another, retreating towards the wooden platoons behind, while the fleet of the Fubo Army They also began to get closer to the pier or the coast, extended the firepower on the ship to a deeper place on the shore, continued to give full play to their firepower advantages, and concentrated their targets on the wooden rafts.

These wooden rafts were put together by the Japanese temporarily cutting down trees. They were directly tied together with logs and buried in the ground for a section. They were equivalent to giant fixed shields. They were torn to shreds like pieces of paper. As bullets hit these wooden rafts, many wooden rafts immediately fell into pieces, and the Japanese archers who were hiding behind flew out for a long distance. After reaching these wooden rafts, stone bombs, clay bombs, and kerosene bombs were fired in turn, hitting the wooden rafts one after another, smashing each raft to this side, especially when the kerosene bombs hit the wooden rafts. It was even more horrible. There were inevitably some gaps on the wooden raft. Once the kerosene bombs were broken, the kerosene inside would splash on the people behind the raft from these gaps, and a big fire would immediately rise up and burn. These Japanese soldiers were ripped apart and fell to the ground with screams, and the screams resounded through the sky.

Such a blow really stunned the Japanese. Apart from hearing about the power of the Fubo army, this was the first time they had tasted such an attack. They simply didn't know how to deal with this kind of blow, and they even fell down. They didn't know that they ran around on the shore under artillery fire, and the result was that their losses were even heavier, and corpses were left on the pier one after another.

Seeing that the Japanese people on the shore were already in chaos, Xu Yi immediately ordered the vanguard army, that is, the servant army, to start attacking the shore, so the accompanying Japanese ships full of servant soldiers in the fleet began to dock one by one. Beach, at this moment, these servants are also looking at the scene in front of them, screaming in excitement, and have already forgotten their identity as Japanese people. When the ship docked, they held up their shields, held their knives and guns and shouted wildly Then they jumped off the boat, and under the leadership of their team leader or the head of the capital, they rushed to the shore and killed them towards the shore.

Dozens of large Japanese ships captured by the [-] servants jumped onto the pier and onto the shore as soon as they landed, and Takeuchi, dressed in the cloth bag armor unique to the Fubo army, flaunted his might and jumped onto the pier , waved the saber in his hand, and commanded these servants belonging to him to start a frenzied attack on the shore. He knew that this battle was his best opportunity to perform, and it was also an attack with no way out. Failure was death. The Fubo Army will never let them return to the ship again, so in this situation of fighting to the death, he really played his life, leading his servants to rush into the enemy formations on the shore like beasts. Once set off a bloodbath.

Looking at the chaotic scene on the pier in the middle army, Muto's scalp felt numb. He knew that the Skeleton Army was powerful, but he didn't know that the Skeleton Army was so powerful. It was like tofu under the attack, and in less than half a day, it was broken like a broken one, and began to land.

Knowing that once the Skeleton Army landed and gained a firm foothold, it would be extremely difficult for him to beat them back to sea, Muto immediately became anxious, drew his waist knife, chopped down a general who had retreated from the front, and shouted Said: "Whoever dares to retreat again, like this person, drive them back!"

As a result, the stragglers who had just retreated rushed back towards the pier under the expulsion of the Muto family's personal soldiers. At this time, Takeuchi's servants had basically all landed. The private soldiers have an advantage, but in terms of morale, they cannot compare with these servants. After burning, killing and looting this way, these servants have experienced several bloody trials in just over a month. , they are no longer the kind of rookies when they just surrendered to the Fuba Army, and in terms of equipment, although they are not better than the regular army of the Fuba Army, compared with these miscellaneous soldiers from the Chikuzen Kingdom, their equipment is as sophisticated as the sky. Due to helplessness, if they don't kill the opponent, they will be killed themselves, so they can only fight together.

The two sides spoke the same language, screaming and collided heavily, and under the shadow of swords and swords, batches fell into a pool of blood. At this time, Takeuchi was also aroused with the fierceness in his bones, holding knives in both hands, fighting bravely Kill in front of the battle, after all, he has been a samurai since he was a child. Although he was afraid of death in the past, his skill at hand is not necessarily bad. , actually looked extremely tough in front of the formation, knocking the opponent in front of him to the ground repeatedly, with blood splattered all over his body and face, making him look even more ferocious.

Takeuchi's abnormal performance also boosted the morale of his servants. These guys who used to be greedy for life and fear of death, under this situation, actually completely aroused their ferocity, and they all howled desperately to fight against the people in front of them. The Muto army fought together, and this battle showed the superiority of both sides' tactics. Under the training of Yang Zaixing, Gao Jun and others, the generals of the Fubo army paid more attention to mutual cooperation rather than blindly protruding. In terms of personal combat strength, the Japanese army is obviously far inferior to the Fubo army in terms of mutual cooperation. It is undeniable that some of them, who have been private soldiers since childhood, are really good at personal skills, but after all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. After the training of the Fubo army, they also began to pay attention to cooperation when fighting. When the two sides fought, the difference appeared. The Muto army was originally a group of mobs, and there was no cooperation at all. Under the attack, a large area was immediately cut down like cutting rice.

And the Muto army far outnumbered Takeuchi's servants, but Takeuchi and the servants pressed their heads and beat them fiercely. Pressing every step of the way, the whole line began to retreat.

Xu Yi watched the development of the battle on the shore, nodded slightly and smiled and said: "If the dog is trained well, it can still bite people very badly! It seems that Takeuchi has used all his strength to suck milk today. , let's support him again! I still have some explosive bombs under the cabin, and I will give them to the brothers on the ship. They will aim at the enemy's rear and send them a few, so that they can disperse quickly, and our army will be fine too. Log in quickly!"

It turned out that when Xu Yi left Jilongzhai, he secretly hid a few boxes of flowering ammunition in his crossbar, which happened to be used at this time, so after Li Bo and others listened to the order, they immediately carried out a box and handed it over to the The gunners on board.

Since there are flower bombs, Gao DaPao and their three mighty cannons are naturally indispensable. Qin Huzi specially made a batch of flower bombs for them, which are not too many. middle.

The fleet was constantly bombarding the Muto Army at the pier and on the shore, trying to attack Takeuchi's servant army from both sides, making it impossible for them to form a pincer attack on the Takeuchi Army. After a short preparation, the Crossbar still had two Thunder Cannons on board. The Shenwei cannon raised its muzzle, and with their roar, a group of shells passed over the heads of Takeuchi's servants and landed directly in the rear of Muto's army.

The main reason why the Muto army is still holding up without being defeated is not that the soldiers in front dared to use their lives, but because of the coercion of the Muto family's private soldiers in the rear. Under the squeeze of the Takeuchi army, their formation formed The very dense formation, relying on this thick formation, resisted the crazy attack of the Takeuchi army.

And these shells happened to land in their densest formation, and the shells killed many Japanese when they landed, and then there were ten or twenty roars in their formation, clouds of smoke and dust mixed with stumps The severed arm flew up immediately, spraying blood and rain of residual limbs all over the sky. With such a dense formation, when the flower bomb exploded, the surrounding Japanese soldiers had nowhere to hide and scattered lasing waves. The shrapnel penetrated into their bodies, and then a huge air wave lifted them up, and then the mutilated corpses smashed back into the crowd again.

This time, Muto's rear team immediately went into chaos. Even the son of Muto Hirobumi, who was supervising the battle in the rear team, became a victim on the spot. Under such a blow, the counterattack organized by Muto finally failed. The Japanese army, whose nerves could no longer withstand the ravages, no longer cared whether there was someone to supervise the battle, and retreated towards the rear like a tide.

Looking at the routs rushing past him like a tide, Muto swung his knife hysterically and chopped down several routs in a row, but he still couldn't stop them from retreating, and finally he was trapped in it, and with the rout The army rushed towards Dazaifu, and Takeuchi commanded his servant army to spread out around the pier, firmly controlled the pier, and finally completed the task Xu Yi gave him.

Although Takeuchi was considered to have won this battle, for him, it can only be regarded as a tragic victory. After a fight, nearly half of his servants were killed or injured. A large number of servants who had just been transferred from Tanegashima were inexperienced. He became a victim of this battle and fell among the corpses all over the ground.

Xu Yi watched the development of the battle situation on the shore, and saw that Muto's army finally couldn't bear the successive blows and began to retreat towards Dazaifu. Then he nodded and ordered Yang Zaixing's infantry to start landing. Now that Takeuchi's army has controlled the pier, they can go ashore in an orderly manner. Now, a large number of large square boats slowly approached the pier or the coast, and a group of neat and sturdy Fubo soldiers disembarked from the boat to the shore in an orderly manner, and the horses, artillery, vehicles, etc. were also unloaded immediately. up the boat.

Yang Zaixing gave an order on the shore, and all the soldiers and horses gathered together. Headed by Xiao Jianfeng's cavalry, they drove all the way towards Dazaifu, and Takeuchi also received the second order, and the whole team began to follow Yang Zaixing's main force, and also marched towards Dazaifu , ready to attack the city.

After Yang Zaixing's main force landed, even the generals of the navy began to transfer to the shore in sampans. At this time, after the Takeuchi Army cleared and suppressed, the Fubo Army had completely controlled Hakata Port, so their landing operations were simply impossible. There were no disturbances.

After Lin Xiong ordered Wubaidiao's helpers to firmly control the pier area, he counted the sailors who had landed, and assembled more than 4000 jumpers, archers, and some sailors in the fleet. The whole team at the pier, escorting tents, food and other supplies followed the main force of Yang Zaixing in front and headed towards Dazaifu.

Of course Xu Yi didn't want to miss this opportunity to step into Dazaifu, and also handed over the command of the fleet to Sun Hai and others, so that they could firmly control Hakata Bay and form a tight defense outside Haikou to prevent The Japanese took their back route from the sea. After all, they are still facing a threat now, that is, the coalition forces of the Japanese from the north may appear at sea at any time. This is an important thing they have to guard against. Don't take down the Dazaifu. On the contrary, if the Japanese copied the back road, it would be really worth the loss.

The open space outside the pier is full of Japanese corpses. Under the repeated bombardment of the Fubo army, the various fortifications set up by the Japanese army around the pier are also crumbling, and some nearby houses have become the focus of this battle The victim, the house collapsed, the ruins all over the ground, the air is also filled with a strong smell of blood, if you are not careful, you may step on a corpse if you are not careful, even so, the soldiers who landed From time to time, the feet slipped, either stepped on the intestines, or kicked down the stump, which made people feel nauseated.

In order not to give Dazaifu enough time to prepare for the battle, they had no time to clear up the battlefield on the pier, so they rushed all the way to Dazaifu, which is more than ten miles away, when the sun was about to exhaust its last breath and fall into the sea , After defeating the reorganized interception of the Muto Army several times along the way, the Fuba Army's army finally arrived at the gate of Dazaifu.

Xu Yi looked up at the city of Dazaifu, which was entrenched in the twilight like a giant beast, and sighed: "Dazaifu! Xu has finally arrived!"

(No matter how someone says that it is not good to fight the Japanese country, since it is written here, it cannot be anticlimactic, and we must take down Dazaifu! Hehe! I hope brothers will forgive and continue to support! If it is not possible, just skip these chapters! Wait! Look at the back too!)
