The reason why Xu Jin ordered the Ming army to take Osumi Island within two hours was not because he was too blind and arrogant, but because he made a decision after carefully measuring the combat strength of both sides.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. The family background of Wang Zhi's father and son was originally left to them by Xu Jin, Xu Jin naturally knew their strength well, in less than a year, the troops under Wang Zhi's father and son could increase dramatically, but the number and level of firearms could not be greatly improved.

You must know that the manufacture of firearms not only requires raw materials, but also requires highly skilled craftsmen and a lot of time and money, like the Ming Dynasty's Ordnance Bureau, in the case of drawings as a reference, it took nearly two years to develop the Hongyi cannon, with the resources mastered by Wang Zhi's father and son, it is difficult to imitate flintlock pistols and Franc cannons in less than a year, let alone innovate.

Although the combat unit of the naval division led by Xu Jin this time was only 20,000, the weapons were excellent, and it was really staggering, with tens of thousands of flintlock pistols alone, 500 Franc machine guns, more than 1,000 traditional bowl guns, and 5,000 firearms of various kinds, plus 10 Hongyi cannons.

It can be said that the strength of the Ming Army's naval division is completely overwhelming, but it is ridiculous that Mao Haifeng also thought that the firearms and equipment of the Ming Army's naval division were similar to the original, with the 50,000 horses under his command, plus the advantage of occupying the terrain, he could completely break his wrist with the Ming Army's naval division, and even win the battle.

However, in just a moment, the rebel sailors were dizzy by a wave of artillery fire like a storm of artillery fire from the Ming army, and they were crushed!

"Withdraw!" Mao Haifeng saw that the defeat had been accomplished, and he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he had to order a retreat, and quickly retreated to the island under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, and went straight to the Huiwang Mansion.

Although Mao Haifeng is only Wang Zhi's righteous son, this person is still loyal and filial, and he did not forget to bring his father-in-law with him before retreating.

However, just as Mao Haifeng led the guards into the Huiwang Mansion, a sharp roar suddenly sounded in the air, and the guards hurriedly knocked Mao Haifeng down.

Boom ——!

A cannonball landed right on the main hall in the middle of the Huiwang Mansion, and the building collapsed on the spot, with a loud bang, broken stones and broken tiles flew sideways, and dust was all over the sky.

It took a long time for Mao Haifeng to get up from the crowd, covered in dust, and all he could hear were crying, screaming and moaning in pain.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!" Mao Haifeng looked at the completely collapsed hall in front of him, opened his throat and shouted, and was immediately choked and coughed violently.

Those guards were all gray-faced, looking at the ruins in front of them and looking at each other, blown up like this, King Hui is probably also fleeing, right?

"What are you doing in a daze, save people!" Mao Haifeng rushed forward and struggled to remove the bricks and wood, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "General, it's too late, the Ming army is about to attack the island, not to mention that the bombing is like this, it is unlikely that the prince will still be alive, let's leave quickly, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood." ”

At this time, the gunfire near the port was getting more and more intense, and the Ming army was clearly already landing.

Although Mao Haifeng had affection for Wang Zhi, he had not yet reached the point of sacrificing his life, and seeing that it was impossible for him to save this cheap old man, he gave up decisively and fled to the west of the island with a group of guards.

"Rush, kill!"

In the southern port of Osumi Island, the Shenji battalion led by Wang Lin'er took the lead in launching a landing battle, and hundreds of clippers rushed to the shore, and those rebels did not know that Mao Haifeng had fled, and they were still resisting stubbornly, using flintlock pistols and bows and arrows to snipe the Ming troops who tried to land on the shore, but brought a lot of casualties to the Shenji battalion.

A small group of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had already landed on the shore, were suppressed on the tidal flats by the fire of the rebels, and they could not advance or retreat. At this time, the second echelon led by Xie Sangun arrived in time to support, and the firepower of the Ming army increased greatly.

It is said that the 3,000 men and horses led by Xie Sangun were all selected from the Beijing camp, and the combat power can only be said to be decent, but half of them are equipped with flintlock pistols.

Bang bang bang......

With the support of powerful firepower, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion landed on Osumi Island one after another. Pi Eleven took an oval object from the backpack he was carrying, pulled out the lead rope from it, and threw it into the rebel fortifications.

There was a loud bang, and the stone wall collapsed on the spot, and several of the rebels inside went to report to the king of Yama.

"Wow, this thing is so good, grandma's, let's give the master a melon!" Pi Eleven took out a grenade made of pig iron, ripped off the fuse and threw it out, and the other soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion followed suit.

In an instant, the rebels' fortifications bloomed on all sides, with countless casualties, and the Shenji Battalion took the opportunity to advance and control the first line of fortifications, and in this way, thousands of people from the Shenji Battalion quickly landed on Osumi Island, and then Xie Sangun also led the second echelon to successfully land, completely controlling the port to the south.

At the same time, Feng Guoqing, the commander of Shaoxingwei, also led his army to launch a fierce attack on the northern port of Osumi Island.

Although Feng Guoqing's combat strength was not as good as that of the Shenji Battalion, they were all veterans who had participated in the Battle of Pingwei and had rich experience, and they also successfully landed one after another under the cover of fierce artillery, and finally controlled the port in the north.

As the second echelon responsible for the response, Qiu Luan, Hou of Xianning, did not spend much effort to land behind Feng Guoqing, and the credit was easily obtained, Qiu Luan was naturally excited, and took advantage of the gap between Feng Guoqing's troops to clean up the port, and led people to the island.

Feng Guoqing was shocked and angry, it was obvious that Qiu Luan, a bastard, was trying to steal the merits, but the other party was a person from the old Wuxun group, and behind him was Xu Pengju, the superintendent of Wei Guogong, so Feng Guoqing dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

However, Qiu Luan wanted to steal the credit, but unfortunately the rebels on the island were not vegetarians, and Qiu Luan encountered a rebel army before he could reach the vicinity of King Hui's mansion. Although this rebel army numbered only a few hundred men, everyone was armed with flintlock pistols, and it was Wang Zhi's guard.

Bang bang bang......

A round of guns swept over, and Qiu Luan's subordinates were killed dozens of people on the spot, so frightened that they hurriedly dodged, fortunately, although Qiu Luan is a son of Xungui, he is not like Guo Shouqian's wine bags and rice bags, he still has some real skills, otherwise he would not be able to win the third place in martial arts.

Qiu Luan shouted and drank, and finally stabilized his position, and then ordered his subordinates to launch a counterattack against the rebels on the opposite side.

Qiu Luan stared at it and found that it was Xie Sangun who led the team, his face suddenly darkened, and he secretly scolded grandma, this kid is cheap!

Xie Sangun eliminated Wang Zhi's guard, captured hundreds of flintlock pistols, and walked over to Qiu Luan and arched his hand and smiled: "General Qiu Shen, admit it!" ”

Qiu Luan naturally didn't dare to offend Xie Sangun, and said with a smile: "General Xie is serious, take your leave!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and quickly rushed to the Huiwang Mansion with people.

Seeing this, Xie Sangun couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, and said hesitantly: "Could it be that Qiu Luan still wants to compete with the Shenji Battalion?" ”

Sure enough, when Qiu Luan led people to the Huiwang Mansion, the scene had been blocked by the Shenji Battalion, and at this time, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were carrying bricks and stones, and it was said that Wang Zhi was crushed under the collapsed hall.

Qiu Luan had to secretly say that it was a pity, it was a great achievement to catch Wang Zhi, but he was just given a water tank as a guts, and he didn't dare to compete with the Shenji Battalion.
