Chapter 228 Go back? No!(1/2)
Neither side guessed the end of this sniper battle.
Before the smoke from the ditch in front of the pier had dissipated, countless Japanese ships set sail.
Of course, many of these large ships are just compared to ordinary fishing boats, and many of them do not even have combat effectiveness.
Although there are hundreds of ships of all sizes here, there are at most more than 30 ships with real combat effectiveness.
This is also a lot.
Because at the mouth of Sheyang River in Huangsha Town, Jiangsu, there are more than 30 warships escorting the Northern Strategic Army.
In addition, Japan also has hundreds of small warships, harassing Dakang's fleet in Lianyungang, Guangzhou and other places, striving to prevent them from attacking the troop transport ships.
In terms of comprehensive strength, in this large area of sea, Dakang's navy is invincible. You can fight against the Japanese by just one of them or even beat the Japanese.
However, Japanese people also ranked second and belonged to the level of little overlords.
There are only these two overlords in the region.
There is no fixed number for the third place, but if the pirates can join forces, they can rank third.
So why did Dakang's navy defeat this time? It was because they joined forces with the second and third teams, which gave Dakang's proud navy a lesson.
Seeing Toyokawa's fleet leaving, Liu Mingqi and others did not rashly go forward to pursue.
Even if you chase, you can't chase it. What are you going to see?
Saw them away?
The boy was a little dissatisfied with this.
He complained to Jia Xiaode beside him, "Old Jia, what exactly does Xiao Chang from the south do for food? They don't have any escort missions and their strength is still there. Why can't they catch up and work in Japanese from the sea this time?"
After getting along for a long time, Liu Mingqi and Jia Xiaode talked more casually.
After all, they are also comrades who have fought life and death together.
Besides, the young man helped Jia Xiaode so much as soon as he came up, and he also provided him with more than ten cigarettes, which made the old farmer fall in love with this feeling immediately.
Even if Jia Xiaode will not rely on Liu Mingqi in the future, he can still get along as a friend.
So upon hearing this, Jia Xiaode shook his head and said, "It's not easy for Xiao Daibang. The Quanzhou Navy was wiped out. In addition, the South China Sea pirates and Japanese pirates harassing each other. What if he was attacked by the enemy after he was fully dispatched? There will definitely be a big problem!"
"yes!"
Liu Renhuai also said: "Your Highness, look at Songjiang Mansion here. We still have a lot of preparation time. Most of the merchants avoid losses, but the workshop owners and factory owners around were also robbed and suffered heavy losses?
Because these workshops and factories were severely damaged and the Songjiang port was destroyed, I am afraid that this place will be destroyed this year, and marine traders can only go to other places to trade. What a huge loss is this?
Guangzhou has always been the second largest port of Dakang. If it is greatly traumatized by our negligence, how long will Dakang recover after Jiangnan has been ravaged? It will take several more years to delay!"
Listening to their considerations, Liu Mingqi nodded.
This is a jealous weapon.
If it were Liu Mingqi, he would definitely ignore it and kill the Japanese pirates to death first.
But what these imperial officials considered more was the safety of the whole world.
Jiangnan has been ruined by the Japanese pirates. It is still possible to become Optimus Prime in the next few years. Guangzhou's maritime trade and trade must not be missed.
Besides, one of your three major navy troops in the south has been wiped out. If you want to maintain the safety of such a large sea area, how could you easily draw a large number of naval troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese?
From this perspective, Xiao Chang didn't want to come. Maybe the court had given him some instructions long ago to tell him not to come.
The imperial court should rely on the Northern Navy, who was in a pretty good condition.
I didn't know that the Northern Navy had just implemented Liu Mingqi's "rear sweep" plan and picked up and dropped off the commando teams of Liu Mingjing and others. The Japanese pirates took the opportunity to start transporting people away.
This is beyond the reach!
The Japanese pirates' ability to seize the opportunity is interesting!
...
From the hills, you can see all the Japanese pirates leaving the port one after another. Even if they chased them, they would not be able to go into the sea to fight.
Besides, all the defensive measures at the port shore were completely destroyed by the Japanese pirates, so there was no way to attack the Japanese pirates with long-range weapons.
If Liu Mingqi's specially made oil catapult came over, it would still play some role.
However, he didn't bring it, so it was inconvenient to make it here. Second, there were bumpy ditches everywhere. How easy was it to transport a catapult?
Therefore, a group of senior officials and troops in Dakang could only watch the Japanese pirates leave.
Liu Mingqi could notice that many people around her breathed a sigh of relief.
indeed.
Fighting against these vicious Japanese pirates, I don’t know how many people will die in the army.
Not to mention anything else, the Jiangnan army killed more than 30,000 people in this port breakthrough battle alone.
This is still supported by absolute bows, arrow towers, catapults, etc.
Liu Renhuai is also unscrupulous.
He transferred all the 50,000 people in his hand, plus the 10,000 people who had been stationed in Songjiang Prefecture City, and launched attacks in turn.
These people are completely inferior to the Caoshu led by Miao Yan and the Hu Ben Army of Wanyan Yi, and even the Zhejiang and Fujian coalition forces led by Liu Mingqi and Jia Xiaode. They have never fought before.
So at the beginning, with such a fierce and intense situation, many people collapsed on the first day, and more than 300 people escaped.
Liu Renhuai personally guarded the back and captured them all. At night, he faced the entire army and directly killed them. His head was sent to all directions, shocking all the soldiers.
At the same time, a passage from Liu Renhuai was also circulated.
"The Japanese killed my Dakang people and insulted my Jiangnan family and fellow villagers. The soldiers and people from all over the country were fighting to kill the enemy with heavy casualties. You are being supported by the people of Jiangnan. Today, facing the beasts that killed my compatriots, they dared to escape and keep their power. They will kill again tomorrow. Who will protect your parents, wives and children?"
People in this era still pay great attention to etiquette and shame.
After Liu Renhuai said this, the soldiers who stayed were ashamed.
Especially the next day, they were even more shocked when they saw thousands of soldiers killing the trench that were unstoppable and ready to die, and broke through a whole mile in one breath. In the end, most of the casualties and injuries were finally retreating.
They have never seen such efficient cooperation and such a fierce and desperate sergeant.
And everyone knows that these Cao soldiers were still like slaves six months ago.
Even slaves can fight so hard, why do we lose so much than them?
This is how they fought hard for the next two days.
It was also because of the fact that more than 30,000 Japanese pirates were killed and only 500 meters of defense were left.
But the deaths and injuries of such 60,000 people were still very heavy, with more than 30,000 people killed in battle, and in the end, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers who could escape unscathed!
Such a huge casualties made a group of Jiangnan generals and officials who followed Liu Renhuai and had never fought such a fierce battle, shuddered when they thought of it.
Therefore, the Japanese pirates left now, but they felt that it was a good thing.
No longer have to face that hell-like scene!
...
Liu Mingqi understood their ideas very well and did not blame them too much.
It is very difficult for a normal person to encounter such a crazy offensive and defensive battle for the first time when he fights like this.
If the Caos were the same for the first time, even if they were skillful in using the Qi Jiguang Array, the situation would probably not be much better.
Only when the Caoshu soldiers gradually accumulated confidence through small and large battles again and again, and their minds were trained to be very tenacious, can they be as invincible as they are now.
Similarly, after such a hell-level offensive and defensive battle, they will not collapse in the end, so they have become qualified soldiers.
With more training, you will inevitably become an elite who can rely on.
This is also the reason why Liu Renhuai was so cruel and threw them into this purgatory.
If you think about it, you can understand Liu Renhuai's approach.
There are so many troops in Jiangnan, but their combat effectiveness is extremely poor. In fact, there are more than 300,000 troops in Jiangnan. As a result, it was a mess during this invasion of Japanese pirates.
Liu Renhuai learned from his mistakes and had the example of Miao Yan, thinking that instead of asking for 300,000 pigs, he would rather want 5,000 tigers.
Therefore, he made up his mind and took this opportunity to survive the fittest and build an elite army for Jiangnan.
For example, now, Liu Renhuai said to Miao Yan beside him: "Taisheng, how many people are left of His Highness De's guard?"
Miao Yan said without thinking: "There are fifty-seven more."
"What!?"
Liu Mingqi had no intention of joining the discussion, but his eyes widened: "Mr. Miao, you don't treat my people as human beings! You are obviously just an instructor, but it's okay if you sent them to the battlefield. Now you have sacrificed so much. How do you ask me to explain to the emperor?"
The one hundred Qianniu Guards he left with Miao Yan were not his people, but the personal guards sent by the emperor to protect him when he left the capital and went to the Ghost Gate.
By the way, when training the Royal Rugby Team at the Gate of Hell, these guards also joined in. Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing, Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin took turns to train for more than two months.
As a result, when he arrived in Huai'an to report the message to Miao Yan, and helped him train the Cao soldiers and practice the Qi Jiguang formation, Miao Yan exchanged the 100 Qianniu Guards assigned to him by the emperor and the 100 Qianniu Guards of Liu Mingqi.
Liu Mingqi still has to give Miao Heizi this little face.
Besides, if there is no familiar and trustworthy person staring at him, neither the training nor the Qi Jiguang Array will be able to achieve good results.
