Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1121
The cavalry of the Japanese pirates collided with the iron flow rushing down the mountain, only stopping the iron flow of the Ming cavalry for a little bit, and then they were pushed past.

The thicker and heavier spear penetrated the body of the Japanese pirate cavalry without hindrance. The horses collided, and the horses of the Japanese pirate cavalry were knocked down. The Japanese pirates on the horse were assassinated or fell off their horses. Still advancing without stagnation, the two sides staggered. The swords in the hands of the pirate cavalry could not cut the armor of the Ming army, but the swords and axes swung by the Ming army would take away life and flesh and blood every time.

What's more troublesome is that the cavalry was defeated and the horses ran wild. There was an enemy in front of them, so they could only turn back. This small group of seemingly fearless and brave Japanese pirate cavalry became their own big trouble and were driven to turn around.

Kato Kiyomasa's iron artillerymen and big tube operators were all dumbfounded. There were horses running around in front of them, and cavalrymen who were frightened out of their courage. These are not enemies, what should we do!
"Fire, fire!!"

The slightest hesitation of these people caused the commanding warriors to yell wildly. On such a battlefield, there could be room for the slightest hesitation and timidity, and everyone opened fire.

But most of the firepower was borne by their own horses and cavalry. Maybe some stray bullets hit the Ming army cavalry behind, but such projectiles were ineffective against plate armor.

After the iron artillerymen shot, they looked at the cavalry that continued to charge, and they no longer dared to continue to reload ammunition for the second shot. If they were a step late, they might be trampled to death by the horses that rushed to death. The warriors who supervised the battle desperately hacked , but there is no way to stop it.

"Death to His Royal Highness!!"

A warrior shouted loudly, and a row of warriors behind the iron cannons and archers stopped with their spears to meet them. The firearm shooting just now only cleared out their own chaotic horses and cavalry, and now it is the armored cavalry of the Ming army coming up. up.

The spears of the cavalrymen of the Ming army were all pointing downwards, and they rushed forward without hesitation. The warriors under Kato Kiyomasa shouted wildly, wanting to use such crazy shouts to get rid of them. Suppressing my fear and wavering, the shouting stopped abruptly.

Some spears could stab the horses and successfully threw off the Ming army knights, but more arrays were still rushed in by the Ming army cavalry.

Knocked down by a horse, the armor protection has no effect, the bones are shattered at the time of the impact, after falling to the ground, the heavy horse stepped on it directly turned into a blood hole, and then was trampled into mud, not to mention those who were ridden with spears The people who were stabbed, even some pawns were pushed back after being pierced, and the people behind could not retreat, and were continuously pierced by the spear, and even a thick spear pierced several Japanese pirates until In the end, the cavalry couldn't move.

Throwing away the spears in their hands, the bodyguard cavalry had already arrived at Kato Kiyomasa's main formation. They picked up long knives and big axes and slashed left and right. Those knights who had lost their horses also joined fearlessly with weapons. On the battlefield, Wang Tong's personal guards are selected teenagers. Their physical fitness and martial arts training far exceed these Japanese pirate warriors. If they add excellent weapons and cooperate with each other, they will have an absolute advantage.

Rushing into the formation, face-to-face hand-to-hand killing made the Japanese pirate warriors defeated faster, not to mention the arrows shot from other directions, and the Jurchens who began to notice here.

Kato Kiyomasa, the head of the Second Corps of the Japanese Invasion Dynasty, had already entered the battle with his Nodachi, and Ma Yin behind him fell to the ground at some point.

As the head of the legion, Kato, who is also from the samurai family, is indeed somewhat outstanding. Although the armor on his body is quite conspicuous, both the volunteer cavalry and the Jurchen cavalry knew that he was a general. They wanted to come here to take advantage of it, but he killed several , The Banner warriors beside him are also desperate guards.

But the more Kato Kiyomasa fought, the fewer and fewer people around him. Kato Kiyomasa was unwilling. He came to North Korea to establish his own unworldly martial arts. He wanted to have a hereditary fiefdom in the Ming Dynasty, but he was defeated suddenly. Just in the middle of the march, these cavalry broke into it, and it was just defeated.

"I am Kiyomasa Kato from Owari, and I am the leader of the Second Army. How dare the leader of the Ming Army fight me solo!!"

While waving his knife, he shouted loudly, but no one paid any attention to it. He rushed a few steps, and an armored cavalry charged directly over.

Although the horse was not running fast, its momentum was strong enough. Kato Kiyomasa wanted to block with a knife, but it was too late, and was directly stabbed into the chest by the spear, leading the man back a dozen steps, and the body slipped from the spear , a volunteer cavalry came over and got off his horse and chopped off his head.

Wang Tong had already stopped charging, and was watching from the sidelines under the protection of a group of personal guards. Kato Kiyomasa yelled loudly. He vaguely heard it, and turned to ask the personal guards:

"Did someone yell and say something just now?"

"I don't know, Tong Shi is still in the back team, should I be called here?"

"Small things, all battlefields are big!"

Wang Tong didn't care much at all, he was just looking at the battlefield here, the front of the Second Army was also pawns, even though Kato Kiyomasa ordered them to rush forward, they were still chased away by the Huwei cavalry led by Ma Sanbiao without any suspense. On the other hand, the killing over there was not much later than the end.

The current battlefield is the Shura field, a bloody hell. Of course, this is for the Japanese pirates. The Ming army cavalry, Jurchen cavalry, and volunteer cavalry are all looking at their heads happily. There is an order, no prisoners will be kept, and all will be killed.

After the first impact, many formations were broken up, and the samurai and ashigaru fled all over the mountains and plains. Now, there are no fleeing infantry, and the killing of the cavalry is coming to an end. Except for the tiger's own cavalry, the rest of the cavalry had already dismounted and searched for the gold and silver belongings on the corpse.

The Japanese pirate army didn’t have much oil and water on them, and North Korea was also a poor place, and there were indeed not many things found in the search, but it was better than nothing. On the contrary, the cavalry and cavalry of the Huwei Army stood aside and corrected the formation. From the generals to the soldiers, they all used very contempt He looked at these comrades-in-arms.

"With those people in Haixi, settle the money for the heads. The flags and horse seals of the Japanese army and each team are all held. The weapons are handed over to the logistics team behind for inspection. The heads are built on the spot in Beijing, and the rest are burned. Already!"

Wang Tong immediately gave the order, and after pondering for a while, Wang Tong said again:
"Quickly send a message to Li Hutou, the imperial army brigade is ready to go south, don't relax."

******************
In April in North Korea, the area near Daming is already warm and flowers are blooming, and the area further south is already very warm, not to mention the sea, if it is in the past, the time for merchants and fishing has come.

Now it is different from the past. There are no merchant ships or fishing boats daring to appear on the sea around the Korean peninsula, because fighting is also in full swing on the sea.

Compared with the cowardly soldiers and horses on land, the North Korean navy fought with great vigor. Jeolla-do left water envoy Li Sun-sin, according to the official title of Ming Dynasty, means admiral of the navy, this veteran is quite impressive. Yes, at that time Japanese pirates crossed the sea on a large scale, and the incident happened suddenly. The North Korean navy did not get any news, so they could only temporarily avoid it.

Li Sunshin almost brought out all the warships in Jeolla Province. The Japanese pirates’ strategy in North Korea was only to occupy cities and sweep up places. They didn’t pay much attention to ports, especially ports other than Busan. Replenishment of personnel is carried out at the port.

Compared with the land-based North Korean army’s deduction of military pay, outdated weapons, and lack of morale among the soldiers, the North Korean navy has always maintained a good performance, from equipment to morale. This is because North Korea suffered from Japanese pirates much earlier than Ming Dynasty. In [-], sometimes it wasn't Japanese pirates at all, but the daimyos from Kyushu came to plunder with their troops. They had been plundered too many times, and the south of Korea was still the main grain production area, so there was no room for loss.

Therefore, the small Korean court spent a lot of effort to build a navy. The equipment of this navy is mainly board house boats, and the turtle ship is the main battleship.

The plank house boat and the turtle ship are not suitable for fighting on the ocean, but they are powerful weapons in the coastal waters. The plank house ship is similar to a building ship. The ship is divided into three layers. Everything on the ship is wrapped in the ship, and there are holes on the side of the ship. , firing arrows and firearms outward, the turtle ship is similar, except that the protection of the turtle ship is thicker, and there are artillery on board, even though it is a heavy artillery made by North Korea itself.

The masts of the houseboats and turtle ships can be lowered and erected when in use. This setting allows these ships to not have to worry about being burned by the enemy and losing their mobility in naval battles. However, if they do not use sails in battle, It doesn't mean that the plank house boat and the turtle ship can't move.

On the lowest level of the ship, there are dozens of large oars on each side. During the battle, the ship can move within a small range and can be oriented without considering the wind direction.

Because of the existence of oars, in a sense, the ship does not need to consider the influence of the shape on the speed. The ship can be made larger and the structure is more stable. Although such a structure is quite bulky in the form of sails, this kind of Being bulky and stable has disadvantages, but the advantage is that the accuracy of the artillery is greatly enhanced. Soldiers on the ship are in the same state as they are fighting on land, and they will also have a great advantage when the ship collides.

Not to mention that the board house boat and the turtle ship are covered with spikes and knives and guns, making it impossible for people to climb. These warships are like a moving castle on the sea. Compared with this, even the so-called Anzhai ship They are all too unbearable, not opponents.

It stands to reason that the North Korean navy should be reporting frequent successes, but there is still a fleet of sinking ships in the Japanese pirate navy
