I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 307 Finally Seeing Money Back
Chapter 306

As the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.

In general battles, Ming's troops always fired artillery, shot with bows and arrows or crossbows at medium and long distances, and only fought with short-handed weapons at close range.

But the problem is, Sun Kewang found that the equipment of the dwarf on the opposite side is too poor. There are some archers, but the number is very small, and they are all ordinary bamboo bows with light arrows. There is no lethality.What's more important is that these days the warriors are very arrogant, and even the basic temptations are not directly attacked, they are pigs and attacks.

Many people think that the pig sudden tactic was invented by the military god Nogi Xidian during World War II. In fact, this tactic was used against the Tang army as early as the Tang Dynasty.

It's not that Sun Kewang hasn't fought against Xiao Zhai before. When he was in Tsushima Island, he had experienced this trick of Xiao Zhai. Therefore, he temporarily decided to throw the grenade first, and then use the crossbow to shoot the defeated soldiers.

"Grenade ready!"

"Three, two, one...throw!"

Following Sun Kewang's order, hundreds of thousands of grenades were thrown at the swarming warriors from the small days. Ning Haijun's grenades were different from those of later generations. Among the eight grenades, these hundreds of thousands of grenades were thrown in the formation of Xiaotian warriors, but they did not explode immediately.

A little-day samurai with a helmet and armor didn't feel much when he was hit. Even a little-day samurai without an armor or a helmet would be bloody at best, and the impact would not be too great.

In fact, most of the grenades did not hit the samurai. They looked at the smoking grenades, full of doubts, what the hell is this?How can you hurt the enemy by throwing it on the ground?They immediately knew how these ghost things hurt the enemy.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

A series of impenetrable explosions sounded suddenly, overwhelming the shouts of the warriors of the little day, and the warriors of the little day cast their eyes over in horror, only to see the flames rushing among the warriors of the little day, and the shrapnel flew across the sky.

For a few days, the warriors were directly overturned by the explosion shock wave, and those who were not overturned were also hit by the shrapnel and steel balls flying at the explosion speed, and the suppressed screams came out.Facing the explosive fragments and steel balls flying at explosive speed, no matter how thick the armor is, it is useless, not to mention that the armor rate of the little day warriors is not high. Cut down, dead and wounded!

Xiaotian, who was blown to pieces by a grenade, suddenly became a mess. Before the warriors could react, Sun Kewang shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"

The soldiers of the Death Battalion who threw away the grenades raised their crossbows and aimed at the chaotic little day samurai and started firing.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The whistling sound of crossbow arrows suddenly rose, and the triangular arrowheads turned into dots of cold stars, and they flew towards the warrior of Xiaotian, and immediately screamed loudly!The lasing arrowheads violently tore apart the thin and small body of the samurai from the small day, with the front chest in and the back chest out, bringing out a cloud of blood rain, and some unlucky ones who were shot by more than a dozen arrows at the same time were even hit by the huge impact force. He got his feet off the ground and flew backwards!
The first wave of arrow rain has not yet come to an end, the second wave of metal storms rises again, and thousands of sharp arrows are shot out like the wind. The warriors fell down a large area again in the small days of the charge, and many wounded who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground and screamed. It was directly nailed to the ground by a sharp arrow. The person was completely dead, and his body was still slightly convulsed.

The protective equipment of the samurai in the small days is really bad. A pair of leather armor is considered luxurious equipment, and the bamboo armor is also so-so, and more people only have coarse clothes. What's the difference between streaking?
Jiannu's experience in Baliwan was repeated on the warriors of Xiaotian, and the warriors of Xiaotian were worse than Jiannu. In Jiannu's army, there were white armors that could ignore Ning Haijun's crossbow arrows, and red armor with a layer of iron armor. The distance was more than a hundred steps. Can also defend.The worst Jiannu still had leather armor, they didn't even have this, they could only scream!
The rain of arrows was howling, continuous, and the death storm swept across the battlefield. Every second, piles of people fell down. The screams and blood splattered made the little day warriors who were lucky enough to miss the arrow tremble. The footsteps hesitated involuntarily.

Maeda Changyong looked at him and shouted: "Don't stop! Speed ​​up! If you stop here, you will only be shot as a target. Warriors of the Shimadzu family, the time has come to prove your courage and loyalty. Go..."

A sharp arrow pierced into Maeda Changyong's chest, and a large portion protruded from his back, sealing his words.But his rhetoric still inspired the courage of the warriors in Xiaotian. Everyone faced the rain of arrows and rushed forward with their eyes closed, stepping on the bloody body of the dead and injured.

However, this wave of pig attacks soon stopped, because all the people were dead. Nearly half of the more than 2000 little day warriors were killed by the grenades from the death camp.

"That's it……"

Li Dingguo spat at the corpse of the warrior of the little day, raised the horizontal knife in his hand, and pointed forward: "Kill..."

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa did not expect Maeda Changyong to be able to repel the Ming army. He also resorted to his own trump card. The more than [-] iron gunners of the Shimadzu family are matchlock firecrackers. These firecrackers were purchased from the Dutch. Yes, it is also a front-loading musket, a broken thing decades ago.

In all fairness, these muskets sold by the Dutch are old guns, but because of their quality, they are slightly stronger than the inferior fire guns in the hands of the Ming army. The muskets equipped by such elite troops are far inferior.

Three thousand iron gunners lined up and followed up. Before they had time to join the battle, they immediately saw hundreds of thousands of them wearing heavy armor and wielding horizontal knives made of fine steel, rushing towards them.

In these days, the iron gunner had no time to reload the bullet, so he was shot through the front and back by the spear.Ning Haijun's spears use steel bars as the spine, with bamboo strips on the outside, then wrap them in linen, and paint them with raw lacquer to make the barrels quite elastic.

In order to prevent it from being too deep and difficult to pull out, two crescent-shaped hooks are added to the end of the gun blade. This thing can prevent the spear from piercing too deep, and can also cut the enemy's calf and drag him down.

This kind of weapon that has been eliminated in the Ning Navy has become a terrible killing weapon in the hands of the soldiers of the death battalion. These iron gunners who were given high hopes by Mitsuhisa Shimadzu were stabbed by spears without any suspense, or were hacked by horizontal knives fall.

Iron gunners built with three thousand gold, died tragically in the counterattack of the Death Army in an aggrieved manner. However, it was not a tragic death, but they died quite well...

Cheng Shijie looked at the death camp and couldn't help saying: "I'm stupid, this is too fierce!"

Sun Kewang led more than [-] desperate reform-through-labor prisoners, fired one round of hand grenades and three rounds of crossbow strikes, spent more than [-] small days, and dealt with another [-] iron gunners in a single charge.

However, Sun Kewang's white-bladed charge continued unabated. At this time, the more than ten thousand dwarfs who followed began to be unlucky again. The little day warriors let out terrified and hysterical screams, and handed over all kinds of weapons desperately, attacking them frantically. Death Battalion Soldiers.

Bamboo spears, cross spears, naginata, sickles, chain hammers wrapped around the handle of the sickle... all eighteen kinds of weapons were used, and the breastplate, helmet, greaves, and shoulder armor of the Death Battalion were knocked loudly, The entire battlefield is like a blacksmith shop, very lively, as for the killing effect...

Very bad!

Xiaotian is an island country after all, which is their luck and their misfortune.Fortunately, the ocean helped them stop enemies from the mainland, making them free from foreign invasion for more than 2000 years, and they could live their lives behind closed doors. Unfortunately, the ocean isolated them, and they could not be like continental countries. Such interaction with many countries and nations full of blood and wisdom will naturally lead to slow development.

They have not faced the powerful cavalry group that comes and goes like the wind, and they have not been able to develop a strong bow and crossbow with a long range; Failed to develop more effective armor-piercing weapons;
They have never tried the crisis of the enemy's massive southward march and the life of the entire nation is hanging by a thread, so they have no way to find out an effective mobilization mechanism. Once foreign enemies invade, they may be in chaos before they start fighting.

I don’t bother to talk about the rubbish of bamboo guns. Their samurai swords are very scary. The question is, which one is designed for armor-piercing?Let them cut a knife along the thigh bone of the cow, and the knife will probably be useless!
In a word, in the final analysis, the weapons developed by the Xiaori Army after thousands of years of research and development have completely lost their former functions in the face of the fierce death battalion.

This was an unfair battle. For half a day, Xiaotian fought against the soldiers of the Death Battalion, and they would not lose a single hair. As long as they were hit casually, they would either die or be maimed.

Not fair, so unfair!
What made Xiaozi feel even more frightened was that for their own achievements, these soldiers of the Death Battalion chopped off the heads of the soldiers while killing them, hung the bloody heads on their waists, and continued to charge.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Death Battalion, these days are too few. Each of them needs to be beheaded five or six levels before they can be freed. If they move slowly, there will be no head to reduce the sentence.

In order to reduce their sentence, these reform-through-labour prisoners charged with their heads hanging. This scene was too scary for the little day warriors.

The Little Day Samurai are very crazy, and they are not afraid of death, but the problem is that the guys in their hands are too bad. In this scene, let alone the Little Day Samurai are scared, even Shimadzu Mitsuhisa was trembling with fright.

Inexplicably, a term popped up in his eyes: "Tiger Wolf Qin Jun."

In the past, they always thought that the Han people were cowardly and insensitive. They had long lost the martial tradition of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and they were no longer worthy of awe. Now they realize that a wolf is always a wolf!Maybe that nation will be worn out by the ordinary life, maybe that nation will be abolished by some genius rulers with all kinds of incredible policies, but for more than 2000 years, the blood of conquest has been flowing in the veins of this nation , Once awakened, the doomsday of surrounding countries and nations will come.

A small tribe that came down from the Loess Plateau finally conquered the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, the snowy North Korea, the swampy and dense forests of Hunan and Hubei, the mountains of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Hetao Plain. They even planted the battle flag in the Caspian Sea and have stood firm for 2000 years. Such a nation is actually considered weak and not warlike?

Not warlike, not bloodthirsty, why did the Han become the largest nation in the world?Not warlike, not bloodthirsty, where did such a vast territory come from?Did you charge for the phone call?
From the moment when Biejing was forced to leave his hometown by the flooding of the Yellow River and embarked on a journey of unknown life and death, the blood of conquest burned in the blood vessels of our ancient ancestors. It has not stopped for thousands of years. The prelude to opening up the frontier and opening up the land kicked off. Even the Song Dynasty, which was considered relatively weak, crazily snatched the living space from the surrounding ethnic groups, so there was the achievement of Hehuang's opening up the frontier.

However, unlike the predatory conquest in Europe, where other countries are brought down and everything on that land is taken as their own, China's conquest goes straight to the opponent's land, and it is to destroy that land. Come down and become your own land, as for the nation on that land...

Either they disappear completely, or they are forced to move to a more desolate and barren land to struggle to survive. When the bloodthirsty wolf finds out that this seemingly desolate and barren land can grow crops, they have to face it. The same road the same road, perish, or migrate!

There are tens of thousands of small day warriors, tens of thousands of people, about the same number as the Ming army, but the problem is that they were defeated by the Ming army before they could persist for half an hour.

In fact, Cheng Shijie was somewhat unexpected. He thought that the biggest role of these reform-through-labor prisoners was to stand in a stalemate with the warriors in the tidal flats. From Cheng Shijie to Li Zhixiang, the sailors on all the warships of the Ning Navy Navy had already made preparations for support. , any naval gun, including rocket launchers, is ready to go.

It turned out not to be needed.

The old Shanxi thieves who came to Zhang Xianzhong's old army were best at driving routs to occupy the opponent's city. Whether Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was willing or not, he had to admit that he had no chance in this battle.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that the army abandon Kagoshima Castle and retreat first!"

Shimadzu Mitsuyoshi roared: "Baga! Although we lost for a while, we only lost less than 3 soldiers. I still have [-] soldiers. Just abandon the city like this? Impossible!"

Beixiang Zhonghu said: "Your Excellency, the Ming army only dispatched a vanguard force, and they overwhelmed us with twice their strength in an instant. The strength is too great. If we fight recklessly, this battle will be considered a win. If you win, the Shimadzu family will suffer a lot!"

Speaking of this, Beixiang Zhonghu lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency, the invasion of the Ming Dynasty is a major event that concerns the life and death of the whole life. There is no reason for the Shimadzu family to face this terrible opponent alone!"

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's face was cloudy and uncertain, he bit his lip and remained silent.

He has been awakened by the Ming army now, even if he wants to fight with the Ming army with all his strength, even if he dies, he will die vigorously, like a real warrior!

Although he claims to have more than 3 troops, in fact, most of these 5000 people are farmers, and there are still more than 5000 real warriors, and more than [-] elite warriors have been exhausted. Does Satsuma still exist?Does the Shimadzu family still exist?
All glory will be wiped out!Besides, resisting the invasion of the Ming Dynasty is a matter of the whole day, and there is no reason for the Shimadzu family to sacrifice so tragically for the benefit of the whole day!
"retreat!"

In fact, at this time, even if he didn't want to retreat, there was nothing he could do. The soldiers of the Daredevil Army chased up Xiaotian's rout and rushed into Lu'er City. The city could no longer be defended.

Originally thought that there would be a fierce battle to be fought in the city, but they knew that when they were in Tsushima Island, they also easily broke into Tsushima City, but the problem is that they fought very fiercely in the city.If it weren't for the grenades, crossbows, and artillery support, I don't know how long it would take to take Tsushima.

However, in Lu'er City, the little days did not resist fiercely, and then they saw groups of little days retreating in a hurry.

"Why did Xiaotian withdraw?"

"Who knows?"

Li Dingguo said: "Do you want to chase after..."

"no need!"

Sun Kewang said: "Clear Lu'er City as quickly as possible, and welcome the commander into the city!"

"It's a pity, there are thousands of heads!"

Sun Kewang looked at Li Dingguo and said, "Do you know how many people there are in Xiaotian?"

"do not know!"

"Didn't you read the information?"

Sun Kewang hated iron and steel and said: "There are more than 1000 million people in the small days, don't you have enough heads?"

Li Dingguo: "There are still a lot of people in the city, cut them all down!"

Sun Kewang said: "You still want to fight, there is not only one city here, there are many villages and towns around, you go and fight!"

"it is good!"

"I can remind you in advance, don't stretch out the hand that you dare not stretch out, otherwise, I can't protect you!"

After Sun Kewang joined Ning Haijun, he soon discovered that there were many factions in Ning Haijun, which seemed to be divided according to their origins. Zheng faction.

Before Sun Kewang came, there were quite a lot of people from Shaanxi and Shanxi in Liaodong, but the problem is that there is no leader in the Shaanxi faction, and Sun Kewang is eyeing this position. He wants to be the leader of the Shaanxi faction.

Cheng Shijie gave him this opportunity, and he pulled out two-thirds of the elite Shaanxi old battalion under Zhang Xianzhong's command in one go, just to use this opportunity to twist the Shaanxi faction into one.

Liu Wenxiu understood Sun Kewang's thoughts, and said, "Then I'll go too, Lu'er City will be handed over to you!"

As Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu led their troops to scatter to attack, the towns around Lu'er City were like locusts passing through.

"Marshal, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life, and finally captured Lu'er City!"

Naturally, Cheng Shijie knew that Kagoshima City was Kagoshima City in the days of later generations. Kagoshima City was the seat of Kagoshima Prefecture's county office, and it was also the political, economic, and cultural center of Kagoshima Prefecture.In the Edo period, the 6th Shimadzu family moved their residence to the current Kago Castle.At that time, the Shimadzu family was the second largest feudal lord in Xiaoyao, in charge of Satsuma, Osumi and Hyuga countries.It can be said that Kako Castle was the political center of the Southern Kyushu area in the Edo period.

Cheng Shijie looked at the almost intact Lu'er City and said, "Didn't you burn down the Lu'er City this time?"

"no!"

"How was it captured?"

"This one……"

Sun Kewang said: "The last general just drove out all the more than 1 people in the city. Now the city is empty. Please come and come!"

Sun Kewang is also a smart person. Although it is beneficial to just steal his family to make a fortune, the problem is that he is not a direct descendant of Cheng Shijie, so some advantages cannot be taken advantage of.

Cheng Shijie patted Sun Kewang on the shoulder and said, "Kekang, I don't worry if you do something, I'm going to the city tomorrow, so you should work hard today and sort out the seizures!"

Night enveloped the land, and the bloody smell on the battlefield lingered for a long time.The soldiers who survived the bloody battle cleared the corpses aside, lit a fire and started cooking.It is impossible to get any decent food on the battlefield. The Ning Navy officers and soldiers cooked pots of fragrant rice with the rice they snatched from the small people, and every ten soldiers gathered around a can of sauerkraut and fatty meat. Grilled rice.

The sour sauerkraut whetted their appetites, and the large chunks of fat provided their bodies with sufficient calories. If they fired a crossbow for a long time, they would consume a lot of energy and their arms would be sore and unbearable. There is really no way to replenish physical strength with high-fat foods.

Of course, the considerate Lao Cook will never forget to make some after-dinner drinks for everyone. After boiling the water, they take out pieces of dry cheese that are as hard as stones and throw them into the pot, then add sugar, tea leaves and a small amount of salt, boil a pot of thick tea soup for everyone to enjoy.

This drink is fragrant and delicious. It not only helps digestion, but also can quickly restore physical strength. It has become an indispensable daily drink for Ning Navy officers and soldiers.

Cheng Shijie looked at the cartloads of silver that had been moved from Lu'er City, as well as boxes of exquisite porcelain, fine silk, raw silk, and precious wood.

Although the specific value of this property was not calculated, it was a good sign, at least Cheng Shijie saw the return money, he was really afraid that this attack on Xiaotian would lose money.

The Shimadzu family was the No. 18 feudal lord in the small days, and now it is the No. 18th generation. The real eighteenth generation, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa is the No. [-]th feudal lord, but he is the second generation Kyushu feudal lord.

If the Shimadzu family is regarded as a powerful family in the Central Plains Dynasty, the Shimadzu family belonged to the Tang Dynasty. They were the great clans of the seven clans and five surnames. They were all rich and powerful.

Cheng Shijie ate the rice produced in Xiaotian, and felt that the taste was quite good. Although it was a little less, it was more than enough to feed [-] people for the time being.

After a busy day, the Ming army happily held a lunch box full of soft rice, surrounded the marching pot with dishes stewed on the fire, picked up their favorite dishes, and gobbled them up, so happy!
Cheng Shijie was eating, when the sound of horseshoes sounded, more than a dozen small day warriors came riding fast horses from a distance with white flags, waving the flags in their hands, indicating that they were military envoys and wanted to see the generals of the Ming army .After receiving the report, Cheng Shijie continued to eat without looking up, "Let them wait first!"
