Chapter 6 Successful Landing
A set of black-lacquered tables and chairs were placed in the middle of the tent, and orange flames from the tandoor licked the bottom of the clay pot. The waves of water in the clay pot tumbled, and a stream of white steam steamed up.
Yun Xiao picked up the clay pot and gently poured boiling water into the teapot. The movements are elegant and quiet, and no one knows that these extremely elegant hands can make 10,000 heads fall to the ground with a single wave.
The bright yellow tea was poured into the cup, and a refreshing aroma of tea permeated the military tent. Qi Tie involuntarily took a breath, just the fragrance of this tea made people feel refreshed.
It was a solitary summoning, and ordinary captains of the guard were rarely summoned like this. The sense of oppression made Qi Tie a little restless, and the killing without blinking was actually as shy as a girl at this time. I was so nervous that I didn't even know where to put my hands.
"Don't be nervous, you're an old man. Ben Hou remembered that there were you during the Lingwu War, and there were more and more people in our family. I can't see everyone like that, otherwise I won't be able to see it even if I don't have to do anything for a day. Have a cup of tea, which Nianyi brought from Jiangnan. ”
Yun Xiao personally poured Qi Tie a cup of tea and handed it to Qi Tie. This rammer poured the hot tea soup with one mouth, and his eyes were red but he didn't dare to open his mouth.
"Your rules are very good, so it can be seen that as long as you put your heart into it, there are always more ways than difficulties. You've fought with the Japanese with real knives and guns, and I want to know what you think of the Japanese people. ”
"Hou ...... Master Hou! The last general thought that the Japanese were fierce and stubborn than the Huns, and it seemed that they were more courageous. After the Huns were defeated, they would also scatter and flee. But after the defeat of the Japanese people. The remnants of the Japanese will still fight to the death. Even if there is no way to retreat in the end, he sings and jumps into the sea to commit suicide. To be honest, his subordinates still admire such an opponent. ”
"Oh, then do you think they can't be defeated?"
"No, Master Hou. It is precisely because of the stubbornness of the Japanese that they can be defeated. Because the subordinates think that as long as they think that they can't defeat us. Instead, they will voluntarily surrender, because people are afraid of death. Once they know that victory is impossible, no one wants to die for a doomed defeat. ”
"Oh, go on." Yun Xiao saw that Qi Tie stopped his mouth and was peeking at his face. Then he told the fellow to continue.
"No. Hou Ye. Defeat the Japanese people. The first thing to do is to destroy their self-confidence. With our strong bows and crossbows, and our brothers who have survived a hundred battles. In fact, it is not difficult to do this, this time Dai Ye is just careless. However, even under this unfavorable situation, the losses of the Japanese soldiers were far above our army. Even if you don't count falling into the sea. There were more than 100 corpses left on the ship. And fell into the sea and was devoured by sharks. That's more than 10 times that number.
As for the Japanese killed and wounded on other ships. And that's not counting yet. According to the observation of his subordinates, the person responsible for attacking Dai Ye on the boat must have been an elite soldier of the Japanese people. Although this battle was fought badly, it had already crippled the main elite soldiers of the Japanese people. Subordinates believe. The next time we cross the sea again, we will definitely not encounter such a strong resistance. ”
Yun Xiao couldn't help but re-examine this Qi Tie, although he hadn't read the book. But he can know people's hearts deeply, although he has not summarized the theory of chrysanthemum and knife. But it can be regarded as being able to grasp people's hearts, this kid is a talent! I haven't seen it before, it seems that there are actually a lot of talents, but it depends on whether you are willing to dig into it.
"The fact that you can say that shows that you have some insight. Give you twenty ships, and two thousand men set out in the night. You're right, they won't have such a massive blockade again. There is a premise, though. That is, they have not yet recovered their strength, once they have gathered enough men. will still come out to stop us, Ben Hou will not give them this respite.
You land in this place called Fukuoka, and you want to build a solid landing ground after landing. It is convenient for our brigade to land and fight the enemy. After you land, build a fortress to defend against the attack of the Japanese soldiers. Before the brigade landed, your 2,000 men would have to defend for six or seven hours.
With the sea behind you, it's a veritable last stand. If you can't stand it, you and your two thousand brethren will be chopped to pulp. Do you dare to go? ”
Yun Xiao's eyes forced Qi Tie to look at him, as long as Qi Tie's stern zhòng swept over any trace of hesitation. Yun Xiao will reverse this decision.
"Master Hou instructed that the last general would go to the soup and fight the fire and never give up. Before Hou Ye arrives with his baggage, the last general must defend the beach and build a solid landing ground for Hou Ye. Qi Tie's answer was resolute and resolute, which greatly satisfied Yun Xiao. It seems that this person will have to be reused in the future.
"Okay, you can't control the bull. Gong Along dialed it to you, remember that you have to nail Ben Hou there like a nail. Saying that you should keep it for six or seven hours is actually the worst plan. The baggage boat is slow, but it will arrive in about five hours. ”
Yun Xiao was helpless to arrange it like this, and the baggage ship carried countless baggage. The march is naturally much slower than that of a warship, and when something happens today, others are not at ease when escorting Yunxiao, so they can only personally escort the Chinese army. In this way, Qi Tie can only die on the beach for half a day, and whether he can withstand it depends on this kid.
"Go ahead, set off as soon as the sun sets. In this way, it was almost the morning when he arrived in Fukuoka, and he didn't last until it was dark, and Benhou arrived. ”
"No" Qi Tie stood up and bowed, and then walked quickly to the outside of the big tent.
Yun Xiao drained the tea in the cup in one gulp, and Zhang Nianyi stood at the door with his head bowed and did not speak.
"Order the baggage to be loaded, and in any case it must depart at sunrise."
"No"
Only one day apart, Yun Xiao did not believe that the Japanese people in the Western Han Dynasty had the ability to mobilize so quickly. Now it's a matter of fighting fast and slow, as long as Qi Tie is wedged into Kyushu like a nail, it will be as easy as probing and taking the entire Dongying.
Qi Tie followed Yun Xiao's instructions and went to Dai Yu to receive the order arrow. He commanded two thousand guards to straighten out their equipment, and with a trumpet, twenty warships left Tsushima.
In the dark night, nothing could be seen on the sea except the sound of wind and waves. All the candles on the ship were controlled, and only a pony lantern was hung behind Qi Tie's boat. All the ships followed Qi Tie, so that the sea was still as usual on the other side.
The fleet seemed to be in ink, and the helmsman held a compass to constantly correct the course to ensure the success of the landing near Fukuoka with the maximum distance. Fukuoka and Shimonoseki are close at hand, and as long as you control Fukuoka and then take Shimonoseki, you can attack the main island.
Qi Tie's mood was a little agitated, it was the first time he had commanded so many guards. In the past, only Dai Yu or people like Canghu and Goshawk at the level of a family general could be competent, but Hou Ye wanted to promote himself to a family general.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of excitement surged through my body. Is he really going to become the general of the Yun family?
All around is the sound of the sea, and the world is like ink. As far as the eye could see, he couldn't see anything, and he stood on top of the ship like a nail.
The sky was exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and Qi Tie's eyes suddenly widened. A black horizon line appeared in front of him, and Hou Ye was right, there was a piece of land here. This is the place where gold is everywhere, and before Qi Tie has time to calm down, cheers have already been heard from the battleship of the two strings.
The killers screamed wildly, and the thirst for money drove away a qiē fatigue. It seems that the salty and wet sea breeze blows into the nose, and there is a smell of money.
The speed of the battleship seemed to be a little faster, and the paddlers all went down to the cabin. I hope that the battleship will reach the exciting Gold Coast as much as possible.
Twenty warships marched forward like arrows off the string, and it was one thing to see the horizon at sea. To get there, you'll have to sail a long waterway.
Tired and half-dead, they finally arrived at the so-called Gold Coast by noon, and they looked through the cracks in the cabins to see what the Gold Coast was really like. The scene disappointed them a little, except for the sand and the sand and the coast of Tsushima seemed not to be much different.
"Each ship lowered its dinghy and landed, half with guards and half with people."
"Master Qi, what are you doing pretending to be so many people? If the Japanese are waiting for us on the shore, I'm afraid this person will ......."
"If there is no people, you will cut down trees and build a stronghold? Although those Japanese people are brave, their equipment, especially bows and crossbows, are much worse than ours. Now we need time to dig trenches, cut down trees, repair deer, and reject horses. It's best to build a wall, so that we can give full play to the advantages of our bows and crossbows. ”
The Yun family has a strict hierarchy, if it is Dai Yu who gives the order. No one dared to say more, but Qi Tie had just taken the throne after all. The prestige has not yet been established, and at this time, he has to patiently explain to his subordinates.
The dinghy was lowered one after another, and the guards and men were carried by the waves and washed up on the beach. Qi Tie was the first to jump off the boat, and the guards followed Qi Tie and also disembarked one after another.
It's a strange world, full of pale yellow sand. More than a hundred steps from the coast was a low bush, and with a wave of Qi Tie's hand, he led the guards into the bushes.
Bursts of birds flew up in shock, and the bushes stretched widely. Qi Tie walked four or five hundred steps with the people, and found that there was no end at all. Immediately gave up the idea of going deeper, and ordered the migrant workers to start digging trenches and building deer bars.
"All the earth that had been dug up was piled up there, and all the trees were cut down to build a watchtower tree there. We need a lookout post. ”
Qi Tie roared angrily, and the people took out shovels and axes. The one who cuts the tree cuts the tree, and the one who digs the ditch digs the ditch for a while, it is actually orderly and not chaotic at all.
The bushes were so full of thorns that it seemed that even the Japanese did not want to walk through it. Qi Tie knew that he must make good use of this rare time, and the dinghy returned to continue to pick up the other people to land.
Soon the second group of people landed, and all of them were people. With their joining, the fortifications were built much faster.
Just after noon, a watchtower two or three feet high was erected. (To be continued......)
