Chapter 1213: Bloody Battle of the Hirado Domain (11)
"You still need to say this, I'm ready for a long time!"
Matsuura Zhenxin snorted coldly, "Now that General Matsudaira Nobutsuna has mobilized a fleet and is carrying 5,000 troops to prepare to attack Fukushima, do you also want to transfer some elite troops and let General Zheng Cai cooperate with the action?" ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon was shocked, so fast, since they have proposed to attack Fukushima together, then there is nothing to say, after all, now Hirado Mishima is his own territory, and he doesn't work hard, is it to let others defend it?
"Zheng Yu! Immediately mobilize and draw 1,000 musketeers and 3,000 infantry to attack Fukushima with General Zheng Cai! ”
After all, Hirado Island is almost 100 miles long from north to south, and there are more than 10 miles of mountains on the ground, and it is not so easy for the Ming army to take the entire territory of Hirado Island.
Zheng Cai and Matsudaira Nobutsuna led two fleets to protect nearly 10,000 troops, and once again rushed towards Fukushima!
However, it is obvious that both Matsuura Zhenxin and Tagawa Nanazaemon underestimated the combat power of the Fukushima Ming Army, but Qin Mufeng mobilized 40,000 troops to besiege Hirado Island, and almost all of the main forces were transferred, but what remained in Fukushima was the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army, and the elite cavalry of the four towns of Nanjing of more than 10,000 people!
Hirado Mishima, the largest of Hirado Island, is mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry charging and assault; Fukushima is the smallest, but it is flat, like a mound.
Qin Mufeng has been in battle for a long time, how can he not even understand this? Qin Mufeng personally stayed in Fukushima and led the cavalry and special operations battalion to stay behind, and placed all 40,000 infantry on Hirado Island.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Zheng Cai led two fleets to the southeast, and soon reached the southeast of Fukushima, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Ming fleet entrenched here!
Zheng Haotian also showed no weakness, and engaged in a fierce battle with Matsudaira Nobutsuna's fleet in the waters of Fukushima.
However, now that Cha Xuan has led two naval battalions to Edo, the strength of the fleet in Zheng Haotian's hands has been greatly reduced, and it is extremely difficult to resist the attack of Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Zheng Cai, after all, the number of warships of Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Zheng Cai is more than double that of Zheng Haotian's warships, and if it is fully besieged, it will naturally suffer a big loss.
Qin Mufeng looked at it from afar, frowned, and shouted: "Someone, send a message to General Zheng Haotian, ask General Zheng to escort the troop carrier and leave Fukushima, this time Zheng Cai attacked Fukushima to take Fukushima, not a decisive battle with our fleet, there is no need to die, as long as the safety of his imperial fleet is guaranteed, let the army behind Zheng Cai land in Fukushima, Lao Tzu has a way to concoct them!" ”
Why didn't Zheng Haotian know the purpose of Zheng Cai and Matsudaira Nobutsuna? There are no longer a few troops carried by the troop carriers in the back, and who knows if there are more troops behind? Retreat by himself and let them attack Fukushima wantonly, Zheng Haotian would not dare to make such a decision, and he would not be hammered to death by Qin Mufeng when he turned back?
Zheng Haotian could only fight with the Zheng family's fleet, but fortunately, his battleship was huge, and it would not hurt for a while.
When Qin Mufeng's order reached the flagship, Zheng Haotian immediately ordered the fleet to retreat in the northwest direction, giving up the position of Fukushima.
Zheng Cai's heart was overjoyed, and he laughed at Matsudaira Nobutsuna on the side and said: "Matsudaira-kun, the Ming army's fleet can't support it, it is the best time for us to land on Fukushima, immediately arrange for the landing of the army!" ”
Matsudaira Nobutsuna had some doubts in his heart, yesterday there was a dragon and a tiger and a tiger like a chicken blood, why did it wilt today? Just after the fight, they retreated into the distance, this is a hair? However, Zheng Cai is right, he sent troops this time to counterattack Fukushima, since the Ming fleet gave up Fukushima, what are you waiting for? Land directly and take back Fukushima in one fell swoop!
Nearly 10,000 troops began to abandon ships and land ashore, rushing towards Fukushima.
The strange thing is that the Ming army on Fukushima did not have any resistance, and allowed the troops of Dongying and Yiguan to land wantonly, and in less than half an hour, nearly 10,000 troops rushed onto the beach and began to approach the hinterland of Fukushima!
On the handsome ship, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was still pondering the strange behavior of the Ming fleet, and he couldn't figure it out, why did he give up resistance? Why is the number of warships on the low side today?
However, the situation no longer gave Matsudaira Nobutsuna time to think about it.
Zheng Cai's mood began to become excited with the landing of the army in Fukushima, but it didn't take long for the excitement just now, and the dense cannon sound made the smile on Zheng Cai's face completely freeze!
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
The sudden sound of artillery shook the sky, and in an instant, dozens of shells enveloped the entire beach, blooming all over the beach, and the sand and gravel exploded in a violent explosion, and people turned over on their backs!
Dongying and the forces of the Yiguan Party were completely chaotic, and no one thought that on Fukushima, the Ming army would still gather a large number of artillery! Looking at the cannonballs in the sky, it is clear that there are at least forty or fifty Ming artillery pieces ahead!
"No!"
Zheng Cai roared violently, and threw the single knife in his hand on the deck fiercely, such a rapid artillery fire, but it was fatal!
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's face also changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, shelling!" Signal the army, retreat, retreat immediately! ”
However, now that the army has washed up on the beach, even if you want to retreat, it is not so easy, run back to the ship, and then turn around and leave Fukushima, even if it is the fastest speed, it will take half an hour, half an hour, who knows how many shells the Ming army will fire?
"Grandma's, fight! Ordered the army, the whole army assaulted, robbed the position of the Ming army to Lao Tzu, and took the artillery position of the Ming army, we are equivalent to controlling dozens of artillery, and we are no longer afraid of the muskets of the Ming army! ”
Zheng Cai immediately calmed down and shouted through gritted teeth.
Now it's all or nothing!
The Dongying army and the army of the First Official Party continued to advance towards the hinterland of Fukushima, and had just crossed the beach under intensive artillery fire and came to the flat ground.
Bands of cavalry, rushing towards their opponents!
Cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry!
Zheng Cai and Matsudaira Nobutsuna's faces suddenly turned pale, who said that there were not many Ming troops on Fukushima? The cavalry alone is more than 10,000, not to mention nearly 10,000 infantry, even if it is 20,000 or 30,000 infantry, it may not be able to stop more than 10,000 elite cavalry!
"Order, order, all the battleships immediately rush forward, line up in a horizontal formation, and launch a fierce attack on the cavalry!"
Zheng Cai is already anxious, now Hirado Island has been suppressed and can't raise his head, and the fall is almost a matter of time, and now Fukushima has encountered a crisis, this is to wipe out all the forces of the Yiguan Party!
