Chapter 1120 Land and Sea
The Japanese pirates' cavalry collided with the iron stream rushing down the mountain, which only stagnated the Ming cavalry's cavalry's stream a little, and then was pushed over.
The thickened and heavy cavalry spear penetrated the body of the Japanese pirate cavalry without any obstacles. The horses collided, and the Japanese pirate cavalry's horses were knocked down. The Japanese pirates on the horse were assassinated or fell down one after another. Wang Tong's personal guards were still advancing forward without stopping. The two sides intertwined, and the swords and axes in the hands of the Japanese pirate cavalry could not cut off the armor of the Ming army, but the swords and axes that the Ming army waved would take away life and flesh.
What's even more troublesome is that the cavalry were defeated and the horses ran around. They were enemies in front of them, so they could only turn back. This small group of Japanese cavalry, who seemed fearless and brave, became a big trouble for their own families and was driven back and turned around.
The iron artillery and Otuna operators of Kato Kiyoshi's main formation were all stunned. There were some running horses in front of them and cavalry that were scared out of their courage. These were not enemies, what should I do?
"Let's fire, fire!!"
The slightest hesitation of these people made the commanding warriors shout wildly. On such a battlefield, there could be any hesitation and timidity, and everyone fired.
But most of the firepower was borne by their own horses and cavalry. Perhaps stray bullets hit the Ming cavalry behind them, but such projectiles were ineffective against plate armor.
After the iron artillery fired, they looked at the horses that continued to rush in. They no longer dared to continue loading ammunition for a second shooting. If they took a step later, they might be trampled to death by the rushing horses. The warriors who supervised the battle tried their best to kill them, but they could not stop them.
"Self-working to your Highness to die!!"
A warrior shouted loudly, and the rows of warriors behind the iron cannons and bows and archers stopped with their spears to meet. "The firearms just shot just to eliminate their own broken horses and cavalry." Now the armored cavalry of the Ming army is coming up.
It was about to be fought. The spear tips of the Ming cavalry were pointed downwards, and they rushed in with hesitation. The samurai under Kato Kiyoshi shouted wildly, trying to use such crazy shouts to suppress their fear and shakenness, and then the shouts came to an abrupt end.
Some spears could stab horses and successfully threw away the Ming knights, but more arrays were still rammed into the Ming cavalry.
When he was knocked down by a horse, the armor protection had no effect, and the bones were broken when they hit him. After he fell to the ground, the heavy horse stepped on him and turned into blood holes, and then he was trampled into mud, not to mention those who were stabbed by a cavalry spear, and even some infantrymen were pushed back after being pierced. The people behind him had no choice but to retreat, and they were continued to penetrate by a cavalry. There was even a thick cavalry spear piercing several Japanese pirates until the cavalry could not handle it.
After throwing away the cavalry spear in his hand, the cavalry of the guards had already walked into the Kato Kiyoshimatsu's formation. They picked up long swords and big axes and "slashed left and right. The knights who died horses joined the battlefield fearlessly with their weapons. Wang Tong's personal guards are selected young young men. Their physical fitness and martial arts training are far superior to those of these Japanese pirates' warriors. If they are combined with the excellent weapons, they will be an absolute advantage.
The rush into the formation, the face-to-face killing of the Japanese pirates made the Japanese pirates defeat faster, not to mention the arrows shot from other directions, and the Jurchens who began to notice here.
The commander of the Second Army of the Japanese pirates invaded North Korea, Kiyomasa Kato, had already taken his Nota sword into battle. "The horse seal behind him was already lying on the ground at some point.
As the commander of the legion and the martial arts family, Kato is indeed a bit extraordinary. Although his armor is quite conspicuous, both the Volunteer Cavalry and the Jurchen Cavalry knew that this was a general. He wanted to come and get a bargain but he cut a few of them. The samurai of the Tachiban samurai was also risking his life to protect him. But the more Kato Kiyomasa attacked, the fewer and fewer people around him. Kato Kiyomasa was unwilling to accept that he came to North Korea to establish his own unparalleled martial arts honors and to have a hereditary fief in the Ming Dynasty. But why was he suddenly defeated? He was rushed into the marching and was defeated like this.
"I am Kato Kiyomasa of Ohara, I am the leader of the Second Legion. The leader of the Ming army dares to play singles with me!!"
He waved his knife and shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to it. After a few steps, an iron-armored cavalry rushed over.
Although the horse was not running fast, the momentum was strong enough. Kiyoshi Kato wanted to swing the knife to block it, but it was too late. The spear was directly stabbed into the chest and led the man back more than ten steps. The body slid off the spear. A volunteer cavalry came over and dismounted and chopped off his head.
Wang Tong had already stopped rushing and watched the formation beside the guards of a group of personal guards. Kato Kiyoshi shouted loudly and he vaguely heard it. He turned to ask the personal guards and said, "Is someone shouting just now? What did you say?"
"I don't know if the information is still in the back team. Should I call here?"
"Small things, all battlefields are big!"
Wang Tong didn't care much at all. He was just watching the battlefield here. The front of the Second Legion was also infantry. Although Kato Kiyomasa ordered them to advance quickly, he was caught up with the Tiger Force led by Ma Sanbiao without any suspense. The killing there was no longer much later than the end.
The battlefield now is Shura Field, a bloody hell. Of course, this is for the Japanese pirates. The Ming cavalry, Jurchen cavalry, and volunteer cavalry on horseback were all looking at their heads happily. Wang Tong had an order before the war, not leaving prisoners, and killing them all.
After the first attack, many formations were disbanded, and the warriors and squads fled all over the mountains. Now, there were no escapers, and the cavalry's killing was almost over. Except for the Huwei Army's own cavalry, the rest of the cavalry had already begun to dismount and search for gold, silver and wealth on the corpses.
The Japanese pirate army had no oil and water. North Korea was also a poor place. There were indeed not many things found, but they were better than none. However, the Huwei Army and the cavalry were correcting their lineups. The generals and soldiers from the army looked at these comrades with contempt and contempt.
"With the people in Haixi, they settled the silver at the head level, and held the flags and horse seals of the Japanese pirates and their troops, and handed over the weapons to the Song and Heavy Team behind to inspect the inspection. The head level was built on the spot, and the rest were burned!"
Wang Tong gave an order immediately and pondered for a while. Wang Tong spoke again: "Quick horses send a message to Li Hutou, and the imperial guards brigade is ready to go south, don't relax."………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In April of North Korea, the place close to the Ming Dynasty was already in spring, and the area further south was already very warm, not to mention the sea, if it were the past, the time for business and fishing was already here.
Now, unlike in the past, there were no merchant ships or fishing boats on the sea around the Korean Peninsula who dared to appear, because they were fighting fiercely on the sea. Compared with the cowardly soldiers and horses on the land, the Korean navy fought very well. Jeolla Do-shu Envoy Lee Sun-sin, according to the official title of the Ming Dynasty, which is the meaning of the navy admiral, this veteran was quite capable. At that time, the Japanese pirates crossed the sea in large numbers. The incident suddenly happened. The Korean navy did not get any news and could only avoid it temporarily.
Lee Sun-sen almost brought out all the warships of Jeolla Do. The Japanese pirates' strategy in Korea was to occupy cities and sweep the places. They paid little attention to ports, especially ports outside Busan. The Korean navy could also carry out activities to supplement personnel at their own ports. Compared with the North Korean army on the land, the weapons were old, and the soldiers had no morale, the Korean navy had always maintained a good maintenance, and it had always been good from equipment to morale. This is because North Korea suffered from Japanese pirates many years earlier than the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes it was not an invasion of Japanese pirates at all. It was simply considered that Daming from Kyushu brought the army to loot. He was washed and plundered too many times. It was still the main strict grain land in the south of Korea, and it was not allowed to be lost.
Therefore, the small court of North Korea spent a lot of effort to build a naval army. The equipment of this naval army was mainly plate house ships, and the tortoise shell ships were the main battleships.
Panya boats and tortoise shell ships are not suitable for fighting on the ocean, but they are powerful weapons near the sea. Panya boats are similar to hand-street ships. The ships are divided into three layers. Everything on the ship is wrapped in the ship. There are holes on the side of the hull, and archers and firearms are fired outwards. The only difference is that the tortoise shell ships have thicker protection, and there are artillery on the ship, although they are heavy artillery cast by North Korea itself.
The masts of the slab boat and the tortoise shell ship can be put down and erected when used. This setting allows these ships to avoid worrying about the enemy burning the sails and losing their power during naval battles. However, if sails are not used in battle, it does not mean that the slab boat and the tortoise shell ship cannot move.
On the lowest level of the ship, there are more than a dozen or dozens of large oars in front of each side. During battle, the ship can move within a very small range and can be oriented without considering the wind direction.
Because of the existence of oars, the ship does not need to consider the impact of appearance on speed in a sense, and can make the ship larger and more stable in structure. Although such a structure is quite heavy in the form of sails, this bulky and stable has its disadvantages, but the advantage is that the accuracy of the artillery is greatly enhanced, and soldiers are in a similar state on the ship as they are on land, and they will also have great advantages when the ship collides.
Not to mention that the outside of the slab boat and the tortoise shell ship are covered with spikes and swords and guns, which makes people unable to climb. Such warships are like a mobile castle on the sea. Compared to this, the Japanese pirate ships are too unbearable, even the so-called Anzhai ship is not an opponent.
Logically speaking, the Korean navy should have received frequent good news, but there is still Shen Wu's fleet in the Japanese navy.
