Chapter 587 was stupid

What Zong Yizhen saw was, of course, the infantry artifact of the Dengzhou battalion - the sapper shovel, which had too many uses, an artifact that killed the Swiss Army Knife in seconds. The first wave of soldiers who docked on the shore were not in a hurry to move forward at all, they each looked for cover on the dock, and prepared to prevent the charge, and the follow-up troops landed one after another, and they were not in a hurry to move forward, but first set up a battle formation, and then slowly advanced.

In the whole process, in less than two hours, more than 2,000 soldiers basically landed, and the artillery team that fell at the end was still slowly landing on the shore, and there was no waiting in front, so they directly began to push forward. The horsemen in the woods were a little overwhelmed when they saw these strangely dressed Dengzhou soldiers. They formed a battle formation of 100 people, slowly pressing forward one by one, and there were artillery men busy on the side, and the light three-pounder guns were pushing away, not getting in the way at all.

After advancing about 800 paces, the two infantry units in front and behind stopped their advance, and set up a position on the spot, and the sappers behind them came up, beating wooden stakes and pulling barbed wire, section by piece, these sappers were still working very carefully, pulling little by little, and there was no hurry at all.

At this time, Zongyi on the mountain was really panicked, and the group of greenskins stopped there and did not go forward. It is clear that they will not be fooled again, and it is clear that these people are here to cover the landing force behind them to go ashore. At this time, if you want to kill it, it's obviously not quite right, which is called being prepared. Holding a monocular sent by the Dutch in his hand, Zong Yizhen saw it quite clearly, the iron artillery of Yishui, not to mention that he had never seen this formation, and when his grandfather and Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to fight North Korea, he had never seen so many iron cannons.

To explain, the iron cannon that the Japanese were talking about at this time was either a cannon or a musket. They'll call the cannon a big gun. Later, in modern times. Japan also likes to call rifles infantry guns.

The front position is staggered, the beachhead is easily built, you let Zong Yizhen take people down to kill, he is not so reckless, the warships on the sea are not invisible, they are approaching about five hundred steps. Clippers cruised around, looking for traces of Japanese ships.

Tsushima Island is not big, if you want to say that the strategic depth is basically nonsense, and a little further back is the old nest of Yanhara Town, this town is the connotation of a town, anyway, there are no big cities in Japan, Edo is okay. Don't look at Japan's city and city at every turn, it's not like that at all, compare those earthen enclosures in Henan. That's pretty much it.

What to do? Zongyi is really embarrassed, there are people around him, do you want to send someone to negotiate? Let's see if we can surrender conditionally, but we won the battle just now. Zong Yizhen really has no confidence in his heart, the warships on the sea look like small mountains one by one, and a steady stream of troops is landing, these soldiers are not Tsushima and these peasants, each of them is full of spirit. between advance and retreat. It is a well-trained army, no matter how you look at it. This kind of army. I can't find one in the whole of Japan. In most cases, a group of samurai rushed in front and a group of peasants followed. There are also some well-trained troops, but there are very few of them, not because the Japanese don't want to train, they can't afford to raise them.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Instead, he trained some decent troops, went to North Korea to fight, and came back in disgrace.

The time when Japanese talent was the best was in the modern Meiji period, and excellent characters showed a trend of blowouts. One after the other. It's like a leek, and it's fast. The rise of modern Japan as a whole has been supported by these people.

Zong Yoshizhen accepted his subordinate Jian yì and sent a samurai to come down from the mountain with a white flag. Wearing clogs and combing his strange hair, this samurai named Hashimoto was chosen because he knew Korean, and he was unlucky, and everyone under Zong Yizhen knew the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

Shinzo Hashimoto was full of grief and indignation, and walked over with a white flag, but was stopped by an officer with two soldiers. Fortunately, the officers on this side were quite restrained and sent someone to call a North Korean who could speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty to be the translator, and after a delay for a while, this was considered a formal exchange.

Shinzo Hashimoto conveyed the meaning of Zong Yoshizhen and asked why he did it for no reason? The young officer spoke very angrily and replied: "I have seen that you have been unpleasant for a long time, when you invaded Korea, was there a reason?" Last year in Nagasaki, your men killed and wounded our merchants, is there a reason? I've wanted to clean you up for a long time, but the cabinet has not allowed you. You go back and tell your master, surrender quickly, or you will kill a chicken and dog. ”

Shinzo Hashimoto listened to the translation and pulled out the knife on the spot. With a "Baga", before the knife was raised, more than a dozen bayonets were aimed at him, and the officer had an extra short gun in his hand, and said against his head: "The two countries are at war and don't kill them, spare your dog's life, get out of here, and after half an hour, if you don't surrender, I will kill you all." ”

Shinzo Hashimoto is not stupid, as soon as he sees this formation, he has to bring the news back, the samurai can ignore life and death, but he can't delay the big things of the lord. So he swallowed his anger and put away his knife, gave a bow, turned around and left. There was a delay of about an hour, and it was already past four o'clock at this time, and it was not early, and the bridgehead on the beachhead had basically taken shape. Including artillery, a battalion has been fully landed. Sappers are repairing the docks, and the second battalion is also preparing for landing.

Zong Yizhen, who heard the news, suddenly turned pale. Zong Yizhi once followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi to fight North Korea, suffered the loss of the Ming army, and did not come back much of the five thousand pairs of Martin mouth, and he has not recovered his vitality until now. Now that the army of the Ming Dynasty has come to the door, it is clear that there is not too much reason, that is, to settle the accounts of seventy years ago. Zong Yizhen felt that he was really wronged, what happened seventy years ago, Yushiba Hideyoshi's bones were rotten, what kind of account do you have with me?

To put it bluntly, there is no need for a reason, Lao Tzu just wants to beat you, who made you have a good geographical location here, just as a springboard for attacking Japan. Looking at the warships on the sea, Zong Yizhen thought to himself, why don't you drag it out until dark? The thought came to me for tomorrow, and the ships were at sea. The Japanese are not good at field warfare or anything. Just surrendered like this, he was not reconciled, speaking of which, the Japanese have a tradition in this regard, and you will know it after watching the movie "Chaos". If it doesn't work, he will set a fire, burn his wife and children to death, and go to Amaterasu by disembowelment.

Of course, that was the rhythm of Japan's own internal war, and now it was a war with the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and Korea, and Zong Yizhen still didn't want to die. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said to the people around him: "Hashimoto-kun, you take five hundred people to rush and see if it is good." ”

Shinzo Hashimoto didn't shirk either, gritted his teeth and agreed, he picked it at will, brought five hundred people, all the iron gunners, set up a formation, and went out under various banners. When the Dengzhou battalion saw that there were such a few people, the two infantry teams immediately lined up to go up, and the rest of the troops were ready to prevent another army from coming out.

Two infantry squads, a little more than 400 in number, the A-shaped battalion now has no grenadiers, one infantry corps of more than 200 people, 200 small rifles, two three-pounder guns. After the formation was completed, the shells were loaded, and Hashimoto and his people had already killed a hundred meters away, and when there was a shout, more than 500 people rushed forward as if they were crazy, the command knife fell, and the order to "fire" was elegant and calm.

Just fighting like this, in the eyes of the officers of the Dengzhou battalion, it is no different from Nima being sent to death. Not to mention this person, back then, an infantry team had fought thousands of rogue bandits. Bang bang bang rifle sounded, gunpowder smoke rose, as if cutting wheat, a group of people fell down in an uproar, the crowd was still rushing forward, boom, boom, the shotgun fired by the three-pounder cannon came, the movement when the hail smashed down, brushed a piece, the second round of rifles had not yet sounded, and there were less than three or five more than a hundred samurai left in front. The rest of the people stood in a daze, looking left and right, there were all corpses, and behind them, there were still corpses, they were a life that they picked up in the rain of bullets. People are scared stupid, how have they ever seen such a war?

Just when they were at a loss, the second round of rifles followed, and the sound of popping beans was like frying beans. Poof, it's the sound of a bullet piercing into the body. When the last samurai fell to the ground and looked at the enemy on the opposite side in disbelief, there were less than three hundred peasants left behind, so he turned and ran away.

Looking at the mountain carefully, Zong Yi really puffed and sat on the ground. The scared thing is that the soul does not possess the body, this battle is too bad, can this still be called a war? More than 500 living beings were killed in less than ten minutes, and half of them were killed, and they didn't react at all, and the battle was over.

When I really ran back, the formation was scattered, and the casualties were really not big. What the Dengzhou battalion is most afraid of is this kind of intensive charge, which is simply here to send.

What should I do? Zong Yizhen had no claim at all, and at this time, the strategists around him knelt down and said: "Lord, surrender, you can't fight anymore, this battle can't be fought, the gap is too big." Only then did Zong Yizhen react and said: "Yes, yes, surrender, I will go in person." ”

With a few subordinates, waving a white flag, Zong Yizhen stumbled out, for fear that the surrender would be slow and people would accept it, and if he really killed a chicken and dog at that time, he might not be able to do it. Can't let the Zong family break its roots! At this time, he just had such a thought, as for the shogunate, who cares about the life and death of the Tokugawa family.

Seeing this guy with a strange hat come out, he looked like a dog, and the officer leading the team in front ordered that no shots be fired, and when they approached, they could see that there were only a dozen or so people, and then they were relieved. Zong Yizhen took off the knife, put it on the ground, and said loudly: "Zong Yizhen, the junior minister of the foreign domain, has seen His Excellency the General of the Heavenly Empire, please accept the surrender of the minister."
