As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

The real contest begins.

429. Very Secondary

Wei Xingchen's idea is very simple: spread out the formation to reduce the accuracy of the Tianjin navy's shelling, and then surround it, forcing it to engage in close combat.

After all, the longer the distance, the lower the hit rate of the attack, and the less dense formation will greatly reduce the efficiency of dense artillery coverage shooting, and the ammunition of the artillery is limited, so as long as the navy is wasting ammunition, it will be consumed slowly That's fine.

Still the same sentence, no matter how fierce the navy is, there are only 5000 people, but Wei Xingchen and Matsuura Zhenxin brought more than [-] people, and there are many warriors with high martial arts skills.Four or five times the number of people, and several times the number of ships, even if you fight for heads, you can finish the sailors, right?

however……

"Yo, changed?" Hua Manlou was joking when he saw this scene: "Wei Xingchen directed this, right?"

Chen Jiafu replied: "Probably, Wei Xingchen is no better than Matsupu, and he must have asked about the situation of the navy."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Although that's the case, who told him that the navy can only fight at long distances? Most of the Japanese pirates who ran back broke up after a fight. They didn't even know our background, so How reliable is the information provided to Wei Xingchen?"

Sun Tzu said thousands of years ago: Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Now Huamanlou has the detailed information provided by Chen Jiafu, even he has a clear understanding of the personalities of Matsuura and Wei Xingchen, but the opposite two people are extremely arrogant, and the other has some half-true and half-baked information. so...

Hua Manlou got a little high: "Send the order, move closer to Wei Xingchen's department, and let him see how our navy's mid-range battles are fought!"

The messenger immediately shouted to the standard-bearer on the watch bucket, and then the order was passed on to the entire fleet, and all the ships all raised their sails and turned their heads, leaning towards Wei Xingchen.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xingchen was not surprised but happy: "Sure enough, once they disperse, they will have nothing to do, they can only come closer to fight close combat!"

The staff at the side reminded: "Master Wei, they still have iron cannons to use..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Xingchen said: "I know, but how many iron cannons do they have? You see, they have so many cannons on board, and even if there are four gunners for one cannon, there are more than [-] men on board, right? Steering, sailing and other sailors, how many iron gunners do you think they can have in the end?"

The so-called iron cannon is the firecracker, and the name of the Japanese country has always been so exaggerated. For example, the fighting at the entrance of the village is called XX Hezhan. ——That thing doesn't even have the scale of an urn city, how dare it call it a city?

Having said that, Wei Xingchen's mathematics is not bad, and according to common sense, the configuration on the Huamanlou ship should be like this.

But who told him that Huamanlou is a regular model?And who told him that the gunner can't pull up the deck and hit the middle distance?

Seeing Wei Xingchen's department getting closer and closer, Hua Manlou waved his hand: "Come on, give them a surprise!"

This time the surprise came from Xishan.

Technology will improve, especially when Xishan artisans are devoted to research and development, they will make faster progress. The thing they tossed out this time is called a tiger squat gun—yes, it looks like the model that Qi Shaobao used to fight Japanese pirates Small cannon, but the barrel of the cannon is much thinner, and what...

The shells are the latest and improved Purdue.

That's right, all the craftsmen in Xishan felt empty after Huamanlou left, and they all felt ashamed for not being able to help Huamanlou, so they rushed to research and develop it almost overnight, and finally tinkered with this thing out.

In practice, the principle of this classical version of the mortar is the same as that of fireworks, so it is not difficult to make at all, but the craftsmen's move completely fills the navy's medium and long-distance combat capabilities, which can be described as...

frenzied?

All in all, Huamanlou has always wanted to play since he got this thing, but the Japanese pirates in the Ryukyu area have never given him a chance to play. Now that Wei Xingchen is so flattering, Huamanlou has to give him a surprise what?

The gunners all got out of the cabin, and then one by one scrambled to place the tiger squatting cannon on the deck, and began to reload - judging by this posture, this group of people seemed to not take the war in front of them seriously at all. The firing was like setting off fireworks, everyone was full of joy and interest, so the happiness of a man is as simple as that...

The filling method of the Tiger Crouching Cannon is similar to that of the firecracker. It is nothing more than stuffing the gunpowder pack that has been weighed and wrapped in oil paper into the barrel, and then stuffing the special Purdue used as a shell into it to ignite.

The range of this kind of gun is not long. In order to achieve maximum damage, generally speaking, the muzzle of the gun should be raised slightly to let the shell explode during flight. It is not like a mortar that explodes after the shell hits the ground—— Of course, if you encounter ground troops, you can also bombard the crowd, anyway, this thing does not seek accuracy.

And because the cannonball will explode in the air, some people call this kind of Purdue that can be fired as a meteor, just...

Very secondary.

However, the second class belongs to the second class, and the operation of the tiger squatting cannon can actually be done by two people, so now not only the gunners, but also the grenadiers and firecrackers have started to play this.

Seeing that Huamanlou was not firing, Wei Xingchen was cheerfully mobilizing the fleet to swarm up all the ships, but when the surprise hit... Cough, after the rain of flowers and meteors hit the sky, his calmness changed. appalled.

In an instant, gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield again.

At a distance of 300 meters, it is not necessary to adjust the elevation angle at all. Just raise the muzzle slightly and aim at the warship of the Japanese pirates—that is to say, this thing can be used as an RPG.

So what is the concept that more than 1000 Purdue bombs exploded almost at the same time?

All I can say is, it was shocking.

Some Pudus fell into the water because of the angle, and some exploded in the air at 30 meters, but more Pudus exploded near or above the Japanese pirate ship, and most of them broke into the hull of the ship. Yes, so almost instantly, the screams resounded throughout the sea.

Exploded shrapnel, shapeless slag, and lead pellets are flying around. Even though these things are hard to kill, the damage caused is unambiguous: some Japanese pirates clutched their stomachs and wailed, and some hugged their thighs and screamed , and there are some unlucky people rolling on the ground with their eyes covered, the howls from their mouths are not like what humans can make...

The Japanese pirates holding samurai swords were completely panicked.

They can be said to be fearless, or they can be said to be extremely cruel. Most of them have a few lives in their hands, but have they ever seen such a scene?

Wei Xingchen was also panicked, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had already lost: In order to avoid the attack of the navy, most of the Japanese pirates jumped into the sea to survive, and a large number of pirates dropped their swords and entered the cabin. Some people even found a white flag from nowhere and hung it on the bow...

430. They did it first, right?

Seeing Wei Xingchen's miserable state, Matsuura, who had not had time to outflank him from a distance, was pissed in fright.

This has to scare the pee, I thought that the long-distance artillery is sharp enough, who would have thought that there are more terrifying weapons!Matsuura rubbed the cold sweat on his forehead, shouted at his subordinates to turn the rudder and run away, and slandered Hua Manlou: We will fire!Are you capable of melee combat?

It's a good thing that Huamanlou didn't hear this, otherwise, Matsuura must have understood what close combat is. After all, Pudu throwing with his hands is actually more accurate and more lethal, isn't it?

Since the Battle of Fenghua, the defeat seems to have become the main mode of action of the Japanese pirates when Huamanlou fought against the Japanese—the one on Shengshan still had a breakout battle, didn't he?Although it ended in a war of annihilation...

Wei Xingchen fled to the north, and Songpu Zhenxin was divided into two roads, one in the northeast and the other in the northwest. It seemed that he wanted to go around in a big circle, stay away from the battlefield and then slip back home, so Hua Manlou didn't get entangled at all: "The third squadron stays here." Get those Neptunes who fell into the water, and the others will chase after me until the end of time!"

Hao Liangcai: Anyway, I do chores?

As we all know, the ships of the Tianjin Navy are faster than the Japanese pirate ships, and because most of the Japanese pirates' large ships rely on sculls... oh, oars, but because of the meteors that were all over the sky just now, most of the Japanese pirates jumped into it. into the sea, so...

What hindered Huamanlou's progress was actually a large number of captives and a large number of seagoing ships.

After losing more than half of his ships, Wei Xingchen simply surrendered directly - he knew that Da Zhao's rule was to kill and surrender, but now that he lost most of his family and returned to Wa Kingdom, the Shimadzu probably wouldn't be polite to him.

It's better to die than to live, isn't it?

But Matsuura Shinshin didn't have this awareness, he was itching his teeth with hatred while running, and by the way he stood on the deck and yelled.

The Japanese are like this, if they lose to a strong opponent, they will definitely kneel and lick in various postures, and they will lick it with great joy, but if they lose to an opponent they think is not as good as their own, then their hatred will almost break through Skyrim, I just wish I could go all out with each other—unless I really beat them down.

And what...

It's not over after defeating the conquest. If they can't maintain steady suppression, this group of people will definitely jump up again when they feel that they have a great advantage, and try to overcome them in vain. For thousands of years, the country of Wa has not changed However, whether it is the era of Huamanlou's previous life or a thousand years upwards.

According to historical records, during the Sui Dynasty, the Japanese envoy Xiao Yemeizi—look at this broken name—the letter of credence submitted to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was written like this: "The emperor at the sunrise sends a letter to the emperor, and the emperor is safe and sound." It can be seen that he once looked up and respected , The king of the Japanese kingdom, who had been granted the title, began to desire an equal status, and Emperor Sui Yang, although he was not happy, still only ordered Honglu Temple that "if there are rude people in the barbarian books, don't hear them again." It is estimated that Emperor Sui Yang just took This matter was treated as a joke, or it was regarded as a country that does not understand etiquette, so it is simply out of sight and out of mind...

When Ono went to the Sui Dynasty for the third time, the "Sui Shu" described it as "the envoy came with the Qing to pay tribute", which means that the Sui Dynasty still regarded this matter as a tribute, while the "Nihon Shoki" wrote The original text of the letter of credence, the beginning of the text is "Emperor Dongtian respects Emperor Baixi", and the officials of the Sui Dynasty probably remembered that Emperor Sui Yang said "don't hear it again", so the letter of credence was not handed over, and neither were the Japanese. being packed...

In a word, the careful thinking of the Wa country can be seen from this mess, but since then, the emperors and officials of all dynasties have regarded the Wa country as a barbarian who does not know etiquette, or just think that they are arrogant, and they have not realized how ambitious this neighbor is. .

Let’s not talk about it aside, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the Wa country, didn’t he immediately go to beat the stick?After hitting the stick, isn't it just planning to invade the Celestial Dynasty?

Therefore, in this era, no one in the Celestial Dynasty understands Wa Kingdom better than Hua Manlou.

After accepting Wei Xingchen's surrender, Huamanlou did not stop, but chased Matsuura Zhenxin all the way to the north—this was not only because he didn't want to let the Japanese pirates in Hirado go, but also because, many days ago He has already arranged some things.

Question: When Mishima Japanese pirates sent a large number of troops and most of the elite went to Ryukyu, how many troops would there be in Hirado Mishima?

Answer: One hundred warriors.

That's right, there are a hundred warriors, and the law and order in this broken place depends on dogs.

Then ask again: How many people are needed to defeat this level of defense?

Answer: I don’t know how much it can be used. Anyway, Huamanlou sent an entire fleet and an elite squad——when it was confirmed that the Matsuura family would send troops on a large scale, Huamanlou sent He Qing and Song Jie to escort them The envoy invited by the King of Ryukyu went to Suzhou, and then...

As the acting admiral of the Suzhou Navy, He Qing took the Suzhou Navy who had trained for half a year and had combat experience after the Fenghua War to Hirado Island.

While Huamanlou and the two Japanese wrestlers were enjoying themselves, the Suzhou Navy also arrived in Hirado under the guidance of Mu Wenbin.

"General He, the Wa country is a country that will not be conquered. Isn't it a little unreasonable for us to rush up and fight like this?" Mu Wenbin is a scholar after all, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw that He Qing began to make intensive preparations for attacking the island after arriving. disturbed.

He Qing looked indifferent: "It's fine if you didn't know before, but now you know that the Japanese pirates came from here, so why not fight? We are here to fight the Japanese, not to fight the Japanese country."

Mu Wenbin smiled bitterly: "But this is the territory of the Hirado Clan after all, and it can also be regarded as the territory of the Wa Kingdom..."

He Qing's eyes widened: "Is that so? Then you have to beat him even more! A feudal lord of the Wa Kingdom dared to send troops to plunder Da Zhao. Isn't this equivalent to the Wa Kingdom declaring war on Da Zhao?"

Mu Wenbin opened his mouth wide: "But...but..."

He Qing chuckled: "Don't look at me like that. Uncle said this, and the order was given by Uncle. I can't miss Uncle's affairs because of looking forward and backward, right?"

After a pause, He Qing said again: "Anyway, don't worry about this matter. Uncle said, as long as we call the Japanese pirates' plundering of Dazhao a dispatch of troops, then no matter what country does not conquest, he will be punished. And you Look……"

Mu Wenbin looked in the direction He Qing was pointing at and couldn't help being taken aback again: "This..."

The people on Hirado Island seem to have discovered the arrival of the Suzhou Navy, and I don’t know what they think, they actually sent dozens of small boats out of the port, it seems that they are coming to fight the Navy... …

"See clearly? They did it first, right?" He Qing said with a nonchalant smile, "Come on, send me an order to sink these boats!"

Before Mu Wenbin could say anything, the battle had already begun.

(The last recommendation, but after some newcomers, some people always said that I copied that, some said that I copied Tang Zhuan, and some said that I copied Qing Yu Nian, but... I have never read these two books at all. Book, how about I go and read it and copy it openly?)

431. The Four Bosses of the Three Great Wolves

No one would believe it, but the main force attacking Hirado Island this time was actually Song Jie.

The reason is very simple. Although he is younger than Huamanlou, Song Jie is not only a veteran who has fought in wars, but also has the attribute of persuading surrender, so Huamanlou sent him to He Qingyi to let him Helping He Qingduo bring the somewhat immature Suzhou Navy around, and secondly, he really wants to see if there is any persuading buff for Song Jie on Hirado Island, if so...

Well, if there is, then I will recommend it to Emperor Guangxing to send him to the southwest.

What?You call this a pit?

Thinking too much, Mr. Hua Qian is famous for supporting his subordinates, how could he cheat such a future star?

For example, this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Matsuura family has been completely emptied. There are only a hundred warriors in the entire three islands of the Hirado Clan. This is much easier than the frontal battlefield.

What's more, it's not just Song Jie's department who came this time, even the "Zhao Baihu" from Xishan came. This direct line is different-at least that's what the half-directed Tianjin navy thinks, and everyone feels a little bit. pantothenic acid.

It has to be said that Huamanlou had no choice but to send Zhao Ren here.

There are two reasons. First, the frontal battlefield is too dangerous. Although it seems that Huamanlou won very easily, who can say about the war? Some people who came to Vienna will lose to Is there a gust of wind?If something happened and Zhao Ren made a mistake, would Hua Manlou chop off his own head to apologize to Emperor Guangxing?So he didn't dare to keep Zhao Ren in Ryukyu at all.

And judging from Zhao Ren's beating nature, is it realistic to send him away before the battle?Therefore, Hua Manlou had to rack his brains to come up with a bunch of reasons for Zhao Ren to go to Hirado and send him away—it was a battlefield anyway, but Hirado Island was at least less threatening, right?

Secondly, although the Hirado clan is a Japanese bandit, attacking Hirado is equivalent to attacking the Japanese country in nature. Huamanlou himself cannot afford the cauldron of attacking a country that will not be conquered and provoking war between the two countries—— Yushi They have nothing good to say at all, the big victory in the Battle of Fenghua was picked on by this group of people, let alone the attack on Hirado?

But Zhao Ren can carry this pot, who made him the prince?No matter how much the censors jump around, if you have the guts, you can try to touch the only seedling of the old Zhao family, and see who dies first, anyway...

The fact that Zhao Ren led troops to support Huamanlou has been exposed, and the capital has been making a fuss about it for a long time.

In short, after the battle started, Song Baihu's troops were on the left, Zhao Baihu's troops were on the right, and the two main warships came out in a crowd. First, they demonstrated the long-distance fighting style to the Suzhou Navy, followed by the middle-range and short-range—that's right. , is close range, this funny combination, a combination of second-hand goods, after the first wave of bombardment, it sank the only Anzhai ship of the opponent, and the remaining Xiaozao ships first suffered an rpg, and then the two goods Bringing the boat directly into it...

Of course, most of those who didn’t hit were greeted by Purdue and Huozhu. These two relied on their two main battleships to destroy dozens of small boats from each other. The Suzhou navy watched the whole process and envied these two hundreds There is an awesome boss.

As for He Qing...

Knowing Zhao Ren's identity, how dare He Qing dare to spoil His Majesty's elegance?

That's right, it's Yaxing. How about a few small boats?

Zhao Ren looked satisfied, stood on the deck with his hips crossed and laughed wildly for a while, then proudly said: "We are not bad at sea battles in Xishan, how many ships have we sunk this time?"

Ma Yuan on the side broke the stage and said: "If you don't count Chen Jiafu's five boats, there are twelve boats, and they are all small boats. You can clearly see from the mark that the Anzhai boat was bombed and sunk by Song Baihu just now."

Zhao Ren waved his hand: "When we beat Chen Jiafu, he hadn't surrendered yet, so why didn't he count? And what's the size of the ship? Tsk tsk tsk, seventeen ships, this is considered a brilliant record!"

Ma Yuan continued to disrupt the situation: "Sir, before going out, Mr. Qian reminded and told us to take care of it. If we fight like this, we will be blamed!"

Zhao Ren didn't escape the heat with a look on his face: "I'm afraid of a bird! And didn't we win this battle? Well, the island has raised white flags."

The white flag was raised on the island.

Although the group of Japanese fought without even saying hello at the beginning, but if they can't fight, it's the old tradition of the Japanese, and it's not too abrupt.

Ma Yuan was stunned, and then sighed: "...Why are you so careless?"

Zhao Ren also looked disappointed: "Who said it wasn't? I was thinking about going to the island just now! Speaking of it... If Matsuura Takanobu knew that Matsuura Zhenxin's side had also suffered a crushing defeat, would he have surrendered so soon? "

Ma Yuandao: "Under the bid, I think he will probably cry. But is there any problem with Mr. Qian? Seeing how weak the troops here are, it may be very difficult for Mr. Qian..."

Zhao Ren rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Why don't we tie Matsuura Takanobu to the bow of the boat and surround Matsuura Zhenxin? I don't believe his father can remain calm after being arrested!"

"Not good..." Ma Yuan looked cold: "Didn't they all surrender?"
