After the ships of the three pirate groups landed on the coast, a large number of pirates headed towards Jinshi City.
In the Tang Dynasty, after the Japanese navy was destroyed in the Battle of Baijiangkou, the frightened Japanese built six cities on Tsushima. But the scales were not large. Only one or two hundred people defended each city. Only Jintai City was expanded to a larger scale.
As the main city of the feudal lord.
After Yang Fan looked at Jinshi City with a telescope on the balcony, he couldn't help but curl his lips. This is a broken city. The city wall is not five meters high and is made of broken stones. There are not even crenels, it is made of wood.
Fence. It looks like the wooden wall in the Age of Empires game.
While Yang Fan was observing the city, he asked Lin Yueru: "How many soldiers and horses does Zong Yicheng have?"
Lin Yueru took out several large brochures from the small suitcase, turned to Tsushima, looked at it carefully, and said: "Sir, the intelligence record is that the maximum number of people is 5,000. But Tsuima is very small and has a small population, so I'm afraid there is no such thing.
There are so many people. Even if they do business with North Korea, they cannot support so many people. It is estimated that there are only two to three thousand people."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "I think these ruined cities are just like this. However, there are still seven or eight thousand navy troops who have retreated here. The total number is ten thousand. This time it is considered a tough battle. Let's
It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a short time to use it. This time, let the pirates fight a tough battle and train them. By the time we capture Jintai City, Tsuima Fan will be basically pacified. The other small towns are not worth mentioning."
Lin Yueru said at this time: "Master, although the land here is small and the people are poor, there are not many resources. But in the past thousand years, the clan family has made a lot of money from doing business. It is estimated that there is a lot of gold and silver in the hoard. In addition, he
My family also likes to collect art. I’m afraid there are a lot of good things accumulated over thousands of years. Their family especially likes calligraphy and painting.”
Yang Fan immediately became interested. A few days ago, Mr. Guan contacted him on WeChat. The auction at the end of this year still lacked some heavyweight items. He asked him to help pay attention.
"Well, what kind of calligraphy and painting works do you have? Let's talk about them."
"Sir, if nothing else, there are fifteen paintings by Song Huizong in the daimyo's mansion." Lin Yueru said while flipping through the information.
"What, a painting by Song Huizong, do you know what it is?" Yang Fan was shocked. This is a good thing.
"Sir, have you ever heard of Chen Ziang's Horse and Song Huizong's Eagle? These fifteen paintings are all paintings of eagles. There are also many porcelains from the two Song Dynasties."
Yang Fan was immediately overjoyed. The fight against Ma Fan this time was really worth it. As long as he has one of Song Huizong's calligraphy and paintings, he can be called a collector. Although Yang Fan now has a lot of good things, but this kind of top-notch
No amount of calligraphy and painting works is too much. Song porcelain is even better.
"Give me the order. The attacking troops are not allowed to use explosive bombs and incendiary bombs. Let Lvdan lead the two servant battalions to supervise the battle. If there is an opportunity, quickly rush into the mountain city for me. Directly occupy the feudal lord's mansion and save all the calligraphy and paintings for me.
.To prevent them from setting fire to themselves in despair. Don’t burn my porcelain, calligraphy and paintings.”
Xiao Niangpi burst out laughing. It has been a long time since I saw the master look so anxious. The feudal lord's mansion has not yet been attacked. The master regards the things belonging to the clan as his own.
Yang Fan glared at her and said: "What are you laughing at? Master, I am here to protect China's cultural treasures. Do you understand? Besides, Master, I have taken a liking to it, and it is mine."
This sentence made me angry, and Xiao Niangpi liked to hear it. She smiled and said: "Yes, I have taken a liking to you, so I belong to you. I am the best."
When Zong Yicheng was on the castle tower, he saw a large number of pirates swarming towards him, and his face turned pale with shock.
He only has 600 samurai and 2,000 ashigaru. In addition, the iron artillery team only has 300 people. Just these 2,900 people cannot stop more than 10,000 pirates.
Fortunately, the eight thousand navy troops who retreated from the ship were also in the city, so the difference in number was not too big.
Woohoo! As the horn sounded, more than 12,000 pirates rushed up carrying temporarily cut trees and ladders made of iron nails. The pirates in the front row worked in pairs, carrying a three-meter-high and two-meter-high ladder.
A wide, five-centimeter-diameter shield made of a small tree trunk was used to cover the front.
Yang Fan put a thousand cavalrymen in charge of supervising the battle. If the pirates opened the city gate, they would rush in, go straight to the feudal lord's mansion, and then hold on there.
This battle is a tough one. There are 11,000 enemy troops and 12,000 pirates. There is no numerical advantage.
However, for the pirates, each captain sent four grenades. They could also get artillery support from the cruiser behind them. After all, the range of these heavy artillery reached a maximum of four thousand meters, which was enough.
It's just that Yang Fan was afraid of setting fire to the feudal lord's mansion and burning the cultural relics. He was not allowed to use sparkling bombs and incendiary bombs. However, solid bullets, grapeshot, chain bullets, etc. could still be used.
The sailors also brought up five 7.92mm three-barreled Gatling guns.
When the pirates rushed to a distance of fifty meters, the iron cannonmen on the city wall immediately opened fire. These people were all the iron cannonmen on the original ship, a total of 2,000 people. In addition to the 300 iron cannonmen from the city,
Let's shoot down the city together.
The shields in the front row suddenly made a popping sound. When the Zi Yaoyu hit the shields, which were densely packed with five-centimeter-thick tree trunks and fixed with iron nails, although they caused sawdust to fly, most of them did not penetrate.
.
Japan is short of iron, and even less of lead. Their iron cannon bullets are all ground from stone. They call the bullets so-and-so jade. I know that there are similar names in modern times.
These pirates are veterans of the war and are extremely fierce. They have been fighting at sea for many years and have far more combat experience than the navy. They have not fought much in the past twenty years, and the Japanese navy is also very decadent.
The people in the front row basically blocked most of the bullets with wooden fences, but a few unlucky ones were hit by iron cannons and fell to the ground. Those who were not shot did not care about those who were shot. There were nurses and ambulance soldiers at the back to deal with them.
, they just charge.
Seeing these people rushing into the city ditch with their shields tilted, there was no water in the ditch here, just an intermittent pit with a not steep slope. The warriors on the city wall immediately dropped the Japanese version of hand grenades.
They call bullets, grenades and the like jade. There are two types of these things. The light one is like a teapot, with gunpowder and poison inside the ceramic. Tie it with a hemp rope. After lighting the fuse, you can throw the hemp rope with your hands. This one
Equivalent to a grenade.
The second type is something similar to a small rocket launched from a large barrel. It is similar to later rifle grenades. Put the propellant and small rocket into the barrel of the large barrel. Then ignite the fuse of the small rocket, pull the trigger, and the big barrel fires.
The small rocket hits a place beyond the distance of human throwing.
