Chapter 1018 The soldiers are divided into three paths (2)

Nikoku, also known as Izumo, is located on the northern coast of the southwest of Honshu Island. It is not too far from Kyushu Island. There is only an Anyi Kingdom in the middle. The current guardian of Izumo is named Haruki Niko. He is also a figure among the numerous local warlords in Japan. Therefore, this time he received an invitation to the emperor's throne ceremony.

However, this Nizi Harujiu obviously did not know much about elegance. Not only did he not go to Kyoto within the designated period of Xu Jin, he also did not send anyone to make excuses. He was too lazy to do superficial skills and did not take the powerful Ming army seriously. Governor Xu was very angry, and the consequences were undoubtedly serious!

On May 13, the fifth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin personally led 10,000 troops to leave the port of Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu Island, and rode out of Yunguo in the southwest monsoon, preparing to use this Niziqing to establish his authority. It can be expected that this Niziqing will not have a long life.

In terms of territory, Izumo Country is not as good as Anyiguo, which borders it, but in terms of wealth, Izumo Country is far better than Anyiguo, because Izumo Country owns the largest silver mine in Japan, Ishimi Silver Mine.

Ishimi Silver Mine is located in Shimabe Prefecture, Izumo Country. This silver mine is powerful. Its output once accounted for one-third of the world, with an annual output of more than 200 tons of silver. Of course, the current output of Ishimi Silver Mine is not that terrifying. The peak of its output was in the mid-to-earth mid-17th century. Despite this, the output of Ishimi Silver Mine is still the best in Japan in the entire country, so Ishimi is very rich. He is naturally strong in his troops and well-equipped. It is estimated that this is also the confidence that Niko Haruka dares to challenge the Ming army.

On the other hand, Anyiguo, a neighbor of Izumo, has a larger land area than Izumo, but it has to know a lot of things to protect the daimyo Mori. He arrived in Kyoto early to prepare to attend the Emperor's throne ceremony on the first day of June. He also sent an envoy very politely to send a letter to Xu Jin.

The general meaning of the letter is that he, Maori Moto, was waiting for the Governor General in Kyoto, and he also specially brought his precious daughter who was about 16 years old. If the Governor General is attracted by it, he would give it to the Governor General to warm the bed...

Let’s get back to the point, Xu Jin led an army of 10,000, hundreds of warships of all sizes and sizes, sailed to the sea with murderous intent. It took only two days to arrive at the northern sea surface of Izuyun Kingdom. Nizi Haruji, who received the news, acted very strongly, and he immediately sent a navy to fight.

I have to say that Nizi Qingjiu is indeed very wealthy, no wonder she dares to be tough in front of the Ming army!

On the sea, Nizi Qingjiu's fleet was scattered in a wedge-shaped shape. The main warships were six-masted sailboats, with a total of six bows. There were hundreds of other warships, and the flags were waving like swords and guns. Generally speaking, they did not lose much to the Ming army in terms of momentum.

Of course, if you distinguish carefully, you will find that Nizi Qingjiu's fleet has more warships, but most of them are old and only a dozen main warships look more glamorous. Look at the shipboard artillery, the main battleships on the ship are all Franco-machine artillery, and the Japanese artillery are all miscellaneous major road goods.

Despite this, Xu Jin was quite surprised to see a fleet of such a size in Japan, so he did not dare to take it lightly. He thought that Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought in Poyang Lake, and Chen Youliang's fleet was all giant ships, while Zhu Yuanzhang's warships were mostly fishing boats. In the end, Chen Youliang was defeated.

From this we can see that equipment is not omnipotent, it depends on how you use it. No matter how powerful the equipment is, if the main general is incompetent, he may be defeated in the end. When Xu Jin was most worried, he sent out Wang Lin'er and Feng Guoqing, who were the most useful, and at present, only the Hou Qiuluan of Xianning and Hou Chen Yu of Taining.

Qiu Luan is the top ten in the second place before the Martial Arts this year. As for the moment, his performance can only be said to be in a proper way. Looking at Chen Yu, the man from Taining, is just like Xu Pengju, who is just a so-called man. The reason why he can follow the army this time is entirely due to the mediation of the nobles and the balance of interests of Jiajing.

"The general should at least keep General Xie Shen by his side." Zhao Datou muttered to himself. This guy was obviously a little worried that Qiu Luan and Chen Yu would fall out.

At this time, the Xianning Hou Qiuluan, who was located on the main battleship on the left wing, was both excited and nervous. What was excited was that his pioneering battle could finally be the main general in this battle. If he won, it would be a great achievement. The nervousness was naturally worried that he would be defeated. Xu Beitou was staring behind him, and the pressure was high, and the Japanese army on the opposite side seemed to be a group of easy-to-deal Chinese chickens and tiles.

The person in charge of the right wing is Chen Yu, the man who went to the battle to gain credit for a place and did not intend to take risks at all, so he was worse than Qiu Luan. At this moment, his heart was so nervous that his heart was beating and his face turned slightly pale, but Xu Behead was behind him and he could only bite the bullet and go on.

boom……

As a shell exploded on the sea, the battle began. Qiu Luan's left-wing fleet was the main attacking force, Chen Yu's right-wing fleet was supplemented, and Fran's machine cannon was fully fired, and the Japanese fleet opposite was instantly trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

In the long-distance artillery battle, the Ming army naturally had an absolute advantage. In just half an hour, the Japanese fleet was injured and sunk dozens of warships, including two main warships with six masts. The losses on the Ming army were much lighter. Two Cangshan ships were seriously injured, and one six masts giant ship was slightly injured, and three cliffs were sunk. Two of them were still sunk due to improper operation.

Seeing that the Japanese fleet was so dizzy that he had no power to fight back, Qiu Luan couldn't help but become more confident. He waved the order flag and took the initiative to rush to the peak. Chen Yu on the other side was probably afraid that the credit would be snatched by Qiu Luan, so he also ordered his ships to rush over.

"idiot!"

Xu Jin was watching the battle with a telescope on the flagship behind. When he saw Chen Yu, who was responsible for the cover, rushed forward with a black face and cursed.

Before the war, he specifically instructed Qiu Luan to attack and Chen Yu to cover up, but the latter obviously threw his advice out of the sky.

Originally, the Japanese fleet had been stunned now, and Chen Yu could not charge, but this guy was even less arrogant and was only concerned about robbing credit. He did not choose a good route to advance. He was too close to the Qiuluan fleet on the left wing, and he would swear to affect the development of their respective fleets, especially if the wind direction changes slightly, he might hit his own people.

Xu Jin's concern was obviously not unnecessary. He saw a loud noise from Peng. Due to the change of wind direction, the helmsman had no time to adjust his course. A Cangshan ship and a six-mass giant ship collided. The Cangshan ship overturned on the spot. The officers and soldiers on the ship fell into the sea like dumplings, screaming and screaming. The officers and soldiers on the six-mass main ship also fell on the deck and rolled all over the ground. What's even more terrifying is that the red barbarian cannon weighing ten thousand pounds actually overturned, and the dozen officers and soldiers next to him were crushed into meat paste on the spot, which made the death of the real Tamama.

Not only that, several more ships were scraped one after another, and the fleet suddenly became in chaos. This chaos was so great that the warships collided into a ball, just like playing bumper cars.

At this time, Chen Yu, Hou of Taining, finally realized that he had caused a big disaster and urgently ordered the turnaround. However, small warships were easy to operate, but it was not easy to adjust the huge battleship.

The commander of the Japanese army was obviously a general with rich combat experience. He immediately seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Dozens of fast ships loaded with firewood rushed towards the dense fleet of the Ming army.

Seeing dozens of cranes burning with raging fires rushed over, Qiu Luan was shocked and quickly ordered a sniper. Bullets and sharp arrows greeted the fire ship like locusts, and the Japanese samurai who were responsible for raising the ship were shot and killed.

However, in the end, seven or eight fireboats rushed into the Ming army's fleet, igniting several nearby warships. Instantly, the flames soared into the sky, and the order suddenly became even more chaotic.

"Your mother Chen Yu, I'm killing me!" Qiu Luan was so shocked that she burst into tears, and she couldn't help but greet Chen Yu, the ancestor of his pig teammate, the eighteenth generation.

Qiu Luan was angry and hated, hated and shocked. If he lost this battle, even if his head could be kept, his career would probably end!

Seeing that the Japanese army's fleet was about to take the opportunity to move to the upper wind zone to launch an attack, at this moment, the three-headed and six-mass giant ships took the lead in seizing the upper wind position. The Folang machine cannons on the ship opened fire at the same time, and shells roared at the Japanese army's fleet.

Qiu Luan looked at it and saw that among the three and six-masted giant ships, there was a majestic "Xu"-shaped flag fluttering in the wind, which was clearly the ship of the Grand Marshal Xu Jin, and the two bows next to it were the escort ships that specifically guarded the head commander.

It is obvious that at this critical moment, Governor Xu rolled up his sleeves and went bare-handed in battle. His eyes were very fierce, and he took the lead in seizing the upper hand.

Qiu Luan was both surprised and happy. Taking advantage of the three giant ships to suppress the Japanese army, he immediately adjusted his fleet and launched a counterattack while putting out the fire.

boom……

The Red Barbarian cannon fired a heavy cannon, destroying a centipede ship of the Japanese army, and the Japanese warriors and hull on the ship were turned into pieces.

On the flagship, Xu Jin looked cold and ordered all the Flang machine cannons to be launched at full speed, and all the spare sub-columns were wiped out, and then he rushed up the sails.

Seeing the head coach's flagship so vigorously, the Ming troops on the other ships were all excited and did not require Qiu Luan to order them. They all accelerated their charges. However, this time everyone paid attention to each other's ship distance.

Kill...

The fleets of both sides met in close combat, and the Ming army fought bravely to the forefront. How could the Japanese army, which had been crippled, be the opponent? They were instantly killed and fled with defeat!

Qiu Luan obviously wanted to make up for the mistakes just now and rushed to chase them. Taining Hou Chen Yu led the way and participated in the slaughter bare-chested battle because he knew that if he didn't show anything, his head would be taken off by Xu's beheading later.
