Ming Zuo

Chapter 914 The Battle of Tsushima Sea (14)

Mitsu Shimadzu couldn't wait for his surprise soldiers for a long time.

Shang Kexi completely defeated Shimadzu Jiuqing with his bravery.Not only that, he also led his troops to spare no effort to appear in the south of the main fleet of Japan.

The appearance of this Xia Kingdom fleet was tantamount to the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was trembling all over, unable to speak a word.Obviously he has realized that his surprise soldier has failed.

Seeing his appearance, is there anything that Date Hidemune doesn't understand?
"Order to retreat immediately."

Date Xiuzong decided not to wait, but to run first.

There is no need for Uwajima clan to die with Satsuma clan.

After this failure, the Satsuma clan must have been seriously injured, and they had to face the wrath of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Could it be that the Satsuma clan is about to die out?

Date Xiuzong couldn't help beating his heart at the thought that a strong feudal clan might become history.

Whose hands will this fertile land fall into?

With his order, Uwajima's army began to turn its head backwards, choosing to preserve its strength just like Mori Mitsuhiro.

Even though his subordinates are exhausted troops, Shang Kexi has already gone mad.

He completely ignored the huge number of the Japanese fleet.

"Keep running, crash into them, let them taste the strength of Lao Tzu."

At this time, the third column was in front of the Dongpu Fleet.

E Honglue has discovered Shang Kexi's arrival through the telescope.

"What is Lieutenant Colonel Shang going to do? Is he crazy?"

Then he received a semaphore from Shang Kexi.

[I will lead the team to charge, I implore the main force to keep up! 】

E Honglue couldn't help covering his heart with his hands.

It's too difficult to lead a damn arrogant soldier.

He just wanted to order Shang Kexi's troops to stop and only do flank harassment.

But seeing that Shang Kexi's troops had all picked up speed and rushed within [-] meters of the Dongpu fleet, it was too late to say anything at this time.

At this moment, E Honglue saw a scene beyond his knowledge.

I saw that in Shang Kexi's fleet, rockets were fired one after another one after another, which seemed very sparse.It is far from the overwhelming shock of bullets raining like a curtain when a rocket launcher fires.

Moreover, the trajectory of these rockets was very straight, with almost no arc, and they hit the warships of the Japanese people straightly.

He could not help but hold the binoculars tightly, watching the whole process in his eyes.

He was even more dumbfounded when he saw that none of the rockets that flew out missed, and almost all of them hit.

how did you do that?
The other soldiers of the Xia Kingdom all looked at each other in blank dismay, naturally they couldn't answer him.

But because of this wave of attacks, the Kumamoto Clan on the right was in bad luck.

More than a dozen closed ships exploded and caught fire, dyeing the entire sea red, and completely messing up the Kumamoto Domain's army.

Kato Tadahiro almost peed on the spot, and immediately chose to learn from Mitsuhiro Mori.

"Withdraw troops! Withdraw troops quickly!"

Well, the Kumamoto domain also lost the will to fight.

The boats of the Dongying people are not slow if they want to run.After all, there are manpower to paddle, and after turning around, it is smooth sailing.

Shang Kexi only bit the tail of the Kumamoto clan, and only destroyed three warships in the second round of attack, and saw that the Kumamoto clan was far away.

Although Shang Kexi was crazy, he didn't care about the Kumamoto clan who had already run away, and still ran towards the Satsuma clan of the Chinese army.

Seeing how brave he was, E Honglue keenly felt that the time had come for a complete victory.

"The whole army turns and attacks!"

Under his command, the third column no longer turned to the southwest, but all turned around and rushed towards the Dongpu fleet.

At the same time, the third column began to send signals to the fourth column behind and the second column that was going away, reporting the situation on the battlefield.

When Zhang Keda and Bai Dasheng learned that the victory was decided, they also changed their tactics.

The second column took advantage of the trend and moved southward, and came to the back of Shang Kexi's troops.Do not stop, continue eastward.

The fourth column is from the north to the east.

In this way, the second column and the fourth column formed an outflanking trend.

Zuo Hua, who ran the farthest, was the last to get the signal. When he rushed back, the Xia Guo Navy's full-scale attack had already launched.

The Changshu Fan, Uwajima Fan, and Kumamoto Fan all ran away, and the expectant soldiers disappeared. Shimadzu Mitsuhisa was completely desperate.

The horn for the Satsuma clan's retreat finally sounded.

The aggressive attack, which was originally aggressive, now turned into a messy retreat.

Seeing the Xia Kingdom's navy sweeping towards them, the Dongying people frantically turned the bow of the ship, fearing that they would be the last.

By this time, the command of the Japanese army had been completely messed up, and many ships collided with each other when they turned around.Without using Xia Guo's navy to fight, they sank a lot.

The pursuit battle on the sea began.

Although it was all smooth sailing, Xia Guo's warships were not as fast as Dongpu's ships.However, having the advantage of long-distance firepower projection still caused huge damage to the Japanese army.

As for the destroyed Japanese warships, the main force of Xia Guo's navy didn't care at all, and rushed past them directly.

The Haicang boat and the Cangshan boat that followed became the main force to clean up the battlefield.

These small boats did not go up, but stayed far away, and then bombarded with artillery.

For the Xia Guo artillerymen, it was not difficult at all to hit a fixed target.

These hopeless Japanese warships were destroyed one after another.Even if they were not killed, they all fell into the icy sea water.Clutching everything within reach, desperately waiting for death to come.

No matter how crazy the Dongpu people are, their will will collapse at this point.

Soon many ships raised white flags one after another, and countless Japanese soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the deck like begging dogs.

Before the war, Xia Guo's soldiers had been educated and knew that the Dongying people were crazy and brave, so they were still cautious in the face of the enemy's surrender.

The warship slowly leaned forward, the cannons were filled with ammunition, and the soldiers held up their muskets, staring at the opposite side.Then let the translators order the Japanese soldiers who surrendered to jump into the boat in groups of five.

Sure enough, many Japanese soldiers pretended to surrender.

Seeing that Xia Jun's side was well-prepared and there was nothing they could do, these Japanese soldiers desperately picked up the firecrackers and fired towards them, making a last futile resistance.

Xia Jun would not be polite to them, and the artillery immediately launched a bombardment.

And for all the Dongpu soldiers who fell into the water after being destroyed by this kind of Japanese warship, Xia Jun would not rescue them at all.Sit and watch them slowly lose heat, lose strength, and turn into frozen ice sculptures.

In the end, there were only more than [-] Japanese soldiers who actually surrendered.

And those who really surrendered were extremely obedient, letting Xia Jun manipulate them.

It can only be said that this is really a crazy and contradictory nation.
