My Daming New Empire

At this time, three rockets sounded suddenly on the island. These rockets roared up hundreds of meters, and then exploded in the air, forming a cloud of red smoke.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhanji knew that the attack on the shore had begun.

In fact, when the Ming fleet approached, the Japanese pirates on the shore had already noticed it.

It was less than twenty miles away, and the mast of the ship could already be vaguely seen with the naked eye.

The Japanese pirates also had a few telescopes with relatively low multiples in their hands. When they saw the appearance of the Ming Fleet, everyone was stunned.

They didn't know where so many warships came from, but they knew that they had to escape with the ships before the Ming fleet approached.

Jeju Island is not that big, but the ten thousand pirates can hide in the mountains for a period of time.

But in the state of no supplies and no support, they only need to starve for a few days before losing their combat effectiveness.

At that time, they could only be targeted by the Tamra people.

Without the boat, their life would be without any hope.

Therefore, they can only rely on their own small and flexible boats, and start fleeing before the encirclement circle is formed.

As long as they can escape, they still have hope.

Everyone fled to their own ship like crazy, because they had their own clear goals, so although the situation was chaotic, it also had its own rules.

But what they didn't know was that this time the Daming Navy dispatched almost one-third of the navy's strength, and they were just a bait in the whole plan.

They will soon learn that there is absolutely no hope of escape for them.

At this time, the attack on land began, and Zhu Zhanji's personal guard Habayashi Wei rushed to the front.

Zhao Yongliang led 500 musketeers, divided into three rows, forming a fan shape, and aimed directly at the port.

In this state of rapid march, although it was only a short distance of more than 1000 meters, every soldier was panting heavily.

Each soldier had gunpowder hanging on his left hip, bullets hanging on his right hip, and a spear on his shoulder. He rushed all the way to the periphery of the port, forming an encirclement of skirmishers.

This kind of formation is rare in the era of cold weapons. There were still a few Japanese pirates who stayed behind to snipe and wanted to take advantage of it, but they were forced to disperse by the navy's broadsword team and fled in a hurry.

In the port area, Japanese pirates piled up debris on the road between the original rows of houses, forming a isolation zone.

About one or two thousand Japanese pirates were left behind at the port, and they wanted to buy more time for others to board the ship.

Two or 300 meters away from the opponent, Zhao Yongliang blew his whistle.The [-] feather guards who followed immediately retreated to the side of the road, helped each other, and ignited the fuse tied to the gun barrel.

This kind of lead wire is somewhat similar to the fire lead of firecrackers, but it is formed with cotton thread and gelatin.The matchlock is soft, but it burns slowly. A matchstick can burn for half an hour.

And on the road they gave up, in the open space, thirty artillery pieces were scattered and aimed at the port.

The wheels of the cart were unloaded, and the artillery was laid flat on the ground, aiming at the ships in the port and the obstacles ahead.

Then, the gunner, the gunner, started to load nervously and orderly.

Whether it is a cannon or a musket, Zhu Zhanji has had people strictly test the optimal charge, and each ammunition pack is wrapped in oiled paper.

This kind of fixed loading is a black technology that only appeared hundreds of years later. Fixed loading of gunpowder can save the time of shooting and is also beneficial to the maintenance of the barrel.

This was Habayashi Wei's first actual artillery and musket combat. Everyone strictly followed the training manual and prepared nervously.

Even so, some people panicked, made mistakes, and almost shot without an order.

And in front of them were [-] colleagues in groups of two, holding thick wooden planks.

"My lord, the fort is ready."

Zhao Yongliang blew the whistle with all his strength, raised his right arm, and the flag bearer followed his movements to lower the big flag.Then the drum sounded, and the ten cannons rang out.

It's a pity that although the artillery aimed at the obstacles on the road did a good job, it blasted away many obstacles.As for the artillery that fired towards the sea, most of the shells were shot into the sea.

The soldiers in charge of the school team and aiming quickly re-calibrated, and the second round of shooting began again.

This time, the performance has improved, and the Japanese pirates blocking the front did not dare to use their bodies to block those shells, and retreated hastily.

Zhao Yongliang suppressed the desire to attack and let the artillery launch the third round of attack again.

At this time, the Japanese pirates who escaped onto the ship hadn't had time to react, and the small cannons on their ship hadn't been pushed up yet.

The attack of the three rounds of artillery made the crowd in front of him disperse a lot. At this time, Zhao Yongliang gave the task of attacking and paid close attention to the formation of his side.

A group of two soldiers held a wooden plank, and the soldiers following them didn't have to worry about the back arrows from the Japanese pirates at all.

At today's distance, the throwing longbow can't reach it at all.What's more, most of the Japanese pirates' bows are short bows, and the shooting distance is closer.

When the distance between the two armies was only 100 meters, the tightly packed planks were scattered, and behind each set of planks were six musketeers.

They were in groups of two and took turns shooting, while those Japanese pirates who had no firearms could not even see them, and they were already beaten and fled.

Bows and arrows are also luxury goods in Japan, and these Japanese pirates are not equipped with many.Amidst the continuous shooting of three-stage strikes, they had no chance to draw their bows at all.

After the six people in the first group fired their muskets, the six people in the second group quickly ran up to replace the six people, allowing them enough time to reload.

The Japanese pirates who were shot had tasted the power of the musket, and could only hear the gunshots, but they were already injured, and they didn't know what was going on.

The Japanese pirates who had never experienced this kind of war were completely stunned. They couldn't even see the enemy, they could only see the thick smoke coming out from behind the plank, but each of their companions hugged their faces and howled miserably.

No matter how high the fighting spirit was, it quickly dissipated in this kind of battle where they could only be beaten and could not fight back. They all fled away one by one, and fled to the ship that was still sailing.

Daming's muskets now use lead bullets, and the melted lead is dripped drop by drop into a pool two meters high, forming lead bullets in perfect condition.

And the wounds hit by lead bullets, even if they don't die at the time, will fester, tetanus, and inflame later. Only a very lucky few can survive.

This kind of injury is almost incurable in this era.

Of course, no one would come to rescue these Japanese pirates, and those Japanese pirates who did not die were also killed by the naval soldiers who followed.

Then, everyone stopped, and the crowd dispersed even further.

Their task is not to kill the enemy, but to force the enemy to dare not go ashore and cannot escape along the land.

If the army was getting closer, the Japanese pirates' boats would also have small cannons, which would easily cause casualties.

But they obviously overestimated the discipline of the Japanese pirates. At this time, no one was thinking about fighting back, they were only thinking about escaping.

Although a few shells were fired from several ships, except for a few unlucky ones who were eager to make contributions and rushed to the front, less than ten people were injured.

The attack on the shore stopped, but the Japanese pirates panicked even more.Because on the surface of the sea, densely packed battleships have formed a huge encirclement circle. At this time, if you want to escape, it depends on your luck.

Most of the Japanese pirates still did not give up and sailed. They were looking for loopholes in the middle of the fleet and wanted to escape.
