My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 500 Wolong BBQ

On June 20th, several fully loaded cargo ships came from Wuzhou, and then two large ships left the Tsushima harbor and headed to the east of Shikoku Island. The hulls of the ships sailed in the undulating waves, and it was obvious at a glance that the water draft was very deep.

When the two large ships carrying the Xia Kingdom's flag sailed to the northeast of Tsushima Island, the white waves they paddled gradually recovered, and the sea waves returned to their original appearance. Far to the southwest of the two cargo ships, on the vast sea, a The boat was lying still, with two people lying on it, observing the Xia Kingdom's ships going away.

"go back!"

One of them spoke Japanese, and the other stood up quickly, shaking the wood pulp and driving quickly on the sea, continuing toward the southwest.

A few miles later, there was an island and reef standing in the distance. When we got closer, we walked around the island and reef, and there was a medium-sized sea ship docked behind it. The boat came close to it, and a ladder was thrown down from it, allowing two Japanese to climb onto the deck. Then he hurried into the cabin.

There is no ordinary boatman's arrangement inside, only a chair and a long table with a windproof oil lamp standing on the table. In the middle of the table is a map with the sea areas and reefs around Tsushima Island marked on it.

There is a person standing behind the table, named Kamaojigo. He is about forty years old. He still has the traditional Japanese Tsukiyo head and a tall black hat. He is a close associate of Oda Nobunaga and is similar to an adviser or strategist. kind.

When the two spying Japanese came in, Kamouso was sitting behind the table, making tea and rinsing the teacup. Without raising his eyes, he shook the hot water in the teacup and asked in a low voice: "The Xiaguo people's ship" The team left?"

"Only two left."

The fire in the small stove was not very big, and the copper kettle on it made a whining sound. Over there, the Hamo clan poured the shabu-shabu water from the tea bowl into the small wooden bucket next to it, and said softly "Hmm" in his mouth.

Soon, an arrow with sparks shot into the sky, making a muffled sound, and a cloud of black smoke filled the air, and was blown away by the sea breeze.

It's a pity that there are no sulfur mines needed for gunpowder on the Japanese island here, and the Xia Kingdom to the west has banned shipping. It is impossible to obtain the other party's gunpowder from there, and there is no way to build the famous iron army he had in his hands back then. Artillery team.

Just listen to him say: "Go and send the signal!"

The two could only use other wood to build it, but what they built was incomplete after all. On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga would supervise the construction with all his strength. Takeda Shingen's share was also given to him, but he asked for Yunguo Island. All the horses, including the rhinoceros horses, were also transferred to Heianjing to form a red reserve team.

It was the Jinlin sea ship that was built based on the sea ship blueprints obtained from Wuzhou. Uesugi Kenshin and Date Masamune's ambition to jointly build Nagano Castle on Shikoku Island had long been seen by other daimyo, so it blocked the two people's Wu Guo war. Materials for boat construction.

"Is the boat sinking?"

"How can we talk about victory or defeat casually in military affairs? But Lord Oda Nobunaga is not comparable to Date Masamune and Uesugi Kenshin. He has already predicted these things!"

The ships that went out to sea to surround Tsushima Island this time were almost half of the ships in the hands of Oda Nobunaga. There were 4,000 light foot soldiers, 200 samurai teams, and 600 archery teams in the cabin.

This way, the Emperor of Xia Kingdom and his 60,000 soldiers and horses could be trapped in Shikoku Island, and they could eat away step by step until the opponent surrendered or ran out of food and lost the ability to continue fighting.

Kamouso Shixiang was not in a hurry to make tea. He put down the tea bowl in his hand, closed his eyes, opened them again after a moment, and nodded.

"It should be so. The cargo ships transporting grain used to be separated by half an hour, but this time it's only a quarter of an hour, which is nearly half an hour faster than before."

To the north of the island, fifteen sea-going ships appeared on the sea level not long after. The hulls of these ships were all fish-scale structures, which could effectively prevent water seepage and seawater impact. The hulls were also five feet taller than the previous sea-going ships. .

However, the leading general this time was Harada Naomasa, his once capable general.

He narrowed his eyes and stroked the long sparse beard under his chin, looking like he was full of wisdom.

"It should be the Xia Kingdom's army on the eastern coast. They have urgently needed things. They need to send them over from here!"

Use the tactics of quick sea attack to land on Tsushima Island and burn the Xia army's logistical equipment. If there is an opportunity, seize the island and block the Xia army's retreat.

Hearing what the figure behind the table said, the Japanese spy who reported it before couldn't help but show a happy expression.

The plan of the two of them is actually very clear at the moment. Takeda Shingen will scatter nails on the path of the Xia Kingdom army and hold them back, while Oda Nobunaga will use warships to make a large detour and set off from the seaport in the northeast of Yunguo Island. , detouring to the northeast and northwest, and arriving at the north of Tsushima Island.

"The waterline is deeper, about the same as before."

Having said this, the village of Pu Sheng clan waved at the two Japanese and drove them out. As soon as they left, a close attendant approached them.

"Lord Kamei, will the attack be successful this time?"

And Harada Naomasa also believed deeply in Oda Nobunaga's plan.

After all, Tsushima Island is still very large. It is impossible for the Xia army to garrison every part of the coastline. Moreover, before arriving, they had already surveyed the terrain of the northern side of Tsushima Island and selected a landing site.

The sky gradually darkened.

When the waves swept over the coast, fifteen golden-scaled ships were immersed in the night and quietly approached the coastline with the sound of the waves.

Arriving at the diving area, all the Japanese soldiers in the boat got off the ladder and walked to the beach on waist-high water.

Harada Naomasa was still worried that the opponent would attack him halfway, but at the moment, it seemed that there was no defense here.

After all the Japanese soldiers came ashore and formed a team, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell safely, but he still cautiously allowed the ship to leave the coast temporarily, while the Japanese soldiers under his command hid against the rocks and sea cliffs of the coast. When the time came to give birth to his son, , Harada Naomasa just led them to set off and walked eastward along the coastline.

There are also many Xia Kingdom sentry towers standing on the coastline along the way.

However, he did not let the soldiers go over and clear out the Xia soldiers on the island. He was worried that if he failed to kill the opponent and let the opponent's soldiers fire arrows and alert the Xia soldiers and horses on the island, all the plans would be in vain and thousands of his subordinates would be lost. Man is in danger of destruction.

They hid from the surveillance range of the watchtower and walked along the coast in the dark. Thousands of them were like long snakes slithering in the dark night. Their gentle footsteps were also covered by the sound of the waves, and they successfully avoided the watchtower on the shore.

Ugly time. Dots of firelight could be seen flickering in the darkness in the distance. Naomasa Harada squatted behind the mound and looked over there for a while, confirming that it was the Xia Kingdom military camp on the island. He slowly raised his hand, and the lightfoot, samurai, and The archers came forward to gather one after another, and each of them had bottles and jars filled with kerosene hanging on their bodies.

Harada Naomasa took the naginata handed over by his own soldiers and took off the bag covering the blade. "Remember, lighting the fire is the main thing. No matter how many enemies there are, our mission is to light their camps. Secondly, to fight with them." ."

In the dark night, figures one after another gathered into a torrent, approaching towards the direction of the dogtail grass and reeds caressing in the field.

……

In the military camp.

"Prime Minister, do you think they will come?!" The oil lamp was dim, and the figure illuminated was stuck to the tent. The voice that rang out was Jia Xu. He put down the book in his hand and yawned, looking a little tired.

"Haha, the captain asked knowingly!" On the other side, Zhuge Liang, who was also reading, was infected by his yawn and yawned accordingly.

As he spoke, countless footsteps could be heard outside the camp. Naomasa Harada, who felt the edge of darkness, led his troops to break through the gate and went straight in.

"Kill!" Harada Naomasa waved his naginata, and the Japanese soldiers behind him were like a torrent, rushing into the open camp gate.

At this time, there was a slight clicking sound under his feet. He frowned slightly and lowered his eyes to see a layer of dry dead branches.

Vaguely aware that something was wrong, he squatted down to pick up a dead branch, put it under his nose and smelled it. His expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted around: "Don't set fire!"

Bang!

The moment he spoke, a flash of fire flashed across his field of vision.

Among the Japanese soldiers who rushed in, many of them lit the kerosene bottles on their waists and threw them out. The moment they landed on the tent and the ground, the flames that originally only burned in place spread in all directions.

Especially near the camp gate, the flames burned quickly. The Japanese soldiers who just rushed in from behind thought it was their companions who set the fire and didn't pay attention. However, the next moment, the fire spread rapidly and divided the entire camp gate into two.

A large number of Japanese soldiers were standing on dead branches soaked in kerosene, and these dead branches almost covered the camp. Even the fences were smeared with kerosene. In an instant, the entire camp was a sea of ​​fire.

The Japanese who were on fire were running around in confusion in the burning camp. Their previous murderous aura turned into great panic, and they let out shrill screams.

But there is no place without fire, and these Japanese soldiers have kerosene bottles hanging on their bodies. When their bodies are on fire, the kerosene in the bottles will also be ignited. The Japanese soldiers who are on fire are like human-shaped fire pillars running around. He crashed into his own team, causing more people to be swallowed up by the flames. Their bodies gradually burned and curled up, twitching until they were charred black.

In a huge fire, in addition to the scorching flames, the violent smoke is often the most deadly. This is an island, the sea wind is roaring, and the black dragon that originally rushed into the sky is pressed back to the camp.

The Japanese who were not on fire were breathing hard, with tears and snot pouring out of their mouths and noses, and they fell down one after another, wailing in the thick smoke.

Harada Naomasa looked around in despair. The shoes on his feet were also on fire at this moment, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Ahhhh!!" He growled through gritted teeth, enduring the burning of the tarsus on his feet, and looked towards the tent with lights on at the front.

The terrifying fire got bigger and bigger, and amid the thick smoke, Naomasa Harada rushed over there with his burning feet. When he encountered the soldiers running around blocking the road, he killed them with a knife.

He already knew that he couldn't leave, but at least he had to kill a Xia general.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers were left behind by Harada Naomasa, and he rushed towards the Chinese army's tent.

……

In the big tent, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu put down their books when they heard footsteps, raised their eyes, and turned their heads to look over.

……

"General Xia, suffer death!"

Harada Naomasa opened the curtain, and the roaring voice suddenly stopped. In his field of vision, there was no one in the tent, except for two straw figures illuminated by oil lamps, their shadows clinging to the tent.

He froze on the spot as the flames spread up from his legs and almost engulfed his lower body. The bottle of kerosene at his waist was ignited, and with a bang, his whole body was engulfed in flames.

……

On the other side, the curtain opened, and Yuwen Chengdu strode in holding a gold-plated phoenix wing, his face flushed with excitement.

"Prime Minister, Lieutenant, most of the Japanese pirates have been killed in the sea of ​​fire, and a small number are fleeing outside. Chengdu asks you for orders to lead troops and horses to destroy them!"

Zhuge Liang laughed and waved his crane fan: "Yes!"

After saying that, he invited Jia Xu to step out of the tent and look at the red-hot sky in the distance.

"When the Tengjia Army was set on fire, Liang felt that it was too harmful to Tianhe..."

"It's okay. Even if you hurt Tianhe, it will be your Majesty's fault this time. It has nothing to do with you." Old God Jia Xu said calmly, rolled up his sleeves, yawned, and then waved his hand towards Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister Take your time and look at it, Xu will go and rest first."

Zhuge Liang: "..."

He stood alone outside the tent, soaking by the bonfire, looking at the black smoke and fire rising in the distance. Thinking of what Jia Xu had just said, he smiled and shook his head.
