Chapter 426: Another Great Merit


The Japanese samurai and the Ashigaru quickly discovered something was wrong.

Compared with the Japanese fighting independently, the Akito gathered a small and dense military formation.

They cooperated with each other and killed twenty or thirty Japanese at the cost of only a few casualties. , but Akito’s casualties were not very large.

Large amounts of blood began to flow out on the deck, and the smell of blood was nauseating, but the soldiers on both sides ignored it and just focused on fighting.

Zhang Huan also joined the battle formation with ten guards.

He himself was not very powerful, but fortunately he had the military formation to help him.

This was also the advantage of the armor of the navy of the Polu Army.

Mukai Tadakatsu saw that the situation was beginning to go badly.

He led twenty guards and began to attack the Akito army formation crazily.

After they paid the price of more than ten people dying in battle, they finally killed and wounded more than ten soldiers on the outer armor.

But they were disappointed to find that when the soldiers behind them filled up, there was still a complete military formation.

The Japanese Ashigaru and Banto kept falling to the ground, struggling or dying, which demoralized them.

However, Mukai Tadakatsu did not give an order.

None of the remaining forty Japanese dared to escape.

As a general, if the banner team escaped from the battle, they would have to go back.

It is also a suicide by caesarean section, which will also affect the family.

The last guard in front of Mukai Tadakatsu who blocked his sword fell to the ground with a groan.

He was pierced through the abdomen with a spear.

Even when the guard fell to the ground, he grabbed Akito's spear fiercely.

This gave Mukai Tadakatsu a chance to slash with his sword.

Akito, who was wearing armor across from him, screamed and covered his head, and his helmet was broken.

It was opened, the skull was split, and it was impossible to see.

As soon as Mukai Tadakatsu retracted his long sword, a spear stabbed him in the chest.

A guard next to him swung his sword to separate the spear.

Mukai Tadakatsu took advantage of the situation and slashed the Ming soldier's right shoulder with the already somewhat damaged sword.

But another spear pierced out from the right side, and Mukai Tadakatsu had no time to dodge.

He could only watch the spear tip break open and pierce his right chest, going deep.

Fortunately, the attack was over.

Mukai felt severe pain in his right chest, blood gurgling from his chest, and he kept coughing.

Blood foam spurted out of the mouth, which was extremely terrifying.

Mukai Tadakatsu's sneak attack career as the shogunate navy commander ended, and he became a protected person.

Next, his guards tried their best to protect him and fought in armor with the Ming army.

His bodyguards are all experts selected from his own vassal, and they are also very loyal.

After all, they have to rely on him as the lord to survive.

This is a major benefit of the Japanese samurai system, and they are relatively loyal.

In a blink of an eye.

Akito's armor suffered nearly ten casualties, and most of Mukai Tadakatsu's bodyguards were also killed.

At this time, there were dead and wounded lying everywhere on the deck.

There were only a dozen or so Japanese soldiers left, and more than half of the armor-clad soldiers of the Polu army had suffered casualties.

However, the remaining 30 or so people, including Zhang Huan, still kept the small military formation intact.

Mukai Tadakatsu looked at the casualties of his loyal subordinates one by one, and his eyes turned blood red.

At this time, he completely threw away what should not fall into the hands of Akito.

At this time, he had to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, otherwise he would be surrounded and annihilated even if he escaped back to the ship. .

Mukai Tadakatsu staggered with all his strength, brandishing his sword and rushed towards the Ming army formation with two guards.

They killed and wounded two Ming soldiers.

But in an instant he was pierced by other spears.

Mukai Tadakatsu was pierced by two spears, one on the left and one on the right.

He stared at Akito with wide eyes and slowly and unwillingly swallowed his last breath.

As soon as Mukai Tadakatsu died, the remaining ten Japanese immediately lost their will to fight.

The general was killed in battle, and they had to be buried with him when they returned.

These Japanese were so distraught that they abandoned their weapons, were either knocked down and captured, or stabbed to death directly.

More than half of the armored casualties were suffered.

He was also furious.

However, Zhang Huan stopped them in time.

After all, there was still a warship to capture.

If they just wanted to kill, the other party would continue to resist.

His own losses would also be heavy.

Next, some sailors wearing armor and reinforcements from the Polu Army, led by the chief mate, fought together on the Japanese warship.

Now there are only a few sailors and dozens of gunners left on the warship.

Their gunners really don't have much courage, so Taking over a battleship is a pleasure.

The remaining Japanese surrendered happily, and even General Mukai Tadakatsu was killed.

There was no point in their stubborn resistance.

The Japanese at this time were not the Japanese who had been integrated by the military in later generations, and surrender was normal.

This largest warship of the Japanese navy fell into the hands of the Polu Army.

Although the ship speed was slower than the Tang class of the Polu Army, it was still a new ship that was built less than two years ago.

It was hard-won.

Any Galen warship would be better than the Polu Army.

They are all valuable to the military.

Zhang Huan did not board the ship with them, and the wounded and wounded soldiers on the Duan Zhixuan still had to be dealt with.

Now the deck was in a mess, with Chinese and Japanese cries of pain.

Zhang Huan brought several escorts and reinforcements to the gunners.

Responsible for cleaning up the mess.

As for the smaller warship, seeing that the situation was not going well, it had already escaped.

Zhang Huan had no intention of paying attention to it and just let it go.

The heavy losses on board made him heartbroken and had no time to care.

The wind and waves had no intention of calming down, but they did not continue to expand.

As for the Yue Fei, it was quite acceptable.

After all, this warship had a volume of 800 tons.

Li Hu looked at the soldiers of the Polu Army who were several miles away cleaning up the mess, and rescued the fallen soldiers one by one from the clipper ship.

As for the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water, they were either sinking into the sea or floating and struggling in the water.

I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long in this kind of storm.

Although Li Hu felt a little unbearable when he saw the miserable screams of the Japanese, his hatred for the Japanese and Master Zhao's words to him that the best Japanese are the dead Japanese made him give up his thoughts on rescue.

Mr.

Zhao Lie said this because his hatred for the Japanese could be equal to that of the slaves.

This made Li Hu sometimes wonder whether Mr.

Zhao also had ancestors who died in Korea, but he had never heard of it, which was strange.

Since Mr.

Zhao hates the Japanese so much, then as Mr.

Zhao's direct subordinates, he must be merciless to these Japanese.

Moreover, there are too many aftermath matters now, and Li Hu can't take care of them.

He can only let them fend for themselves in the storm.

One after another, the warships returned and reported their results one by one.

Basically, they sank the escaping Japanese warships.

After all, the speed difference between the two ships was too big.

As long as they caught up with Tiago and opened the The Japanese warships were basically destroyed by canister bombardment.

Only a few warships lost their Japanese warships due to the bad weather.

After returning, the captain was very frustrated and personally apologized to Li Hu.

They knew that Mr.

Zhao and Li Hu had issued an order to completely annihilate the Japanese fleet.

Now under their hands, Escape made them, the captains, unable to hold their heads high.

Li Hu comforted them one by one and said that they would deal with it after returning to Jeju.

Now he continues to command the warships.

In this vast sea, it is really not the time to review these things.

The Polu Army Navy still has important things to do.

When the Duan Zhixuan returned, the Cheng Zhijie had just returned and brought back news that a Japanese warship had been sunk and a Japanese warship had escaped.

When the Duan Zhixuan and the captured Japanese warship appeared in front of everyone, they all knew that the Duan Zhixuan must have gone through a hard battle at the side.

The bow was damaged, there were bloodstains on the side and deck, and there were many hideous things hanging under the foresail.

The head of the Japanese has explained everything.

Although the Duan Zhixuan was damaged, with this captured warship and these heads, it means military merit.

Military merit is the most important thing in the Polu Army.

Nothing can compare with military merit.

Promotion and rewards are all based on this.

The captains and soldiers on other ships looked at the Duan Zhixuan with envy.

Some captains lamented in their hearts that Zhang Huan was allowed to get an advantage again.

This was a captured giant ship.

Up to now, the navy of the Polu Army had never Capturing such a huge ship from the Japanese was such a great military achievement.

Zhang Huan personally got on the boat and headed to the flagship Yue Fei.

On the way, he saw greedy eyes from all around him, and some captains even congratulated him sourly.

This made him feel happy, and the more this happened, the more proud he became.

This warship, which was about the same size as Duan Zhixuan and had fifty cannons, was captured by Zhang Huan in a bloody battle under his command.

This was a great military achievement.

Zhang Huan was born to do this, and God had favored him.

"Greetings to the Lord of the Town."

Zhang Huan saluted Li Hu.

"Get up."

Li Hu raised his hand and circled around Mukai Tadakatsu's body to take a closer look.

Mukai Tadakatsu's eyes were still staring angrily, but they had lost their agility, leaving only a dull look.

"Zhang Huan, this is He is undoubtedly a Japanese general."

"That's right, I learned from the interrogation of more than a dozen captured Japanese people that these flags were also found on this battleship," Zhang Huan presented the flags of the shogunate general, the ship's official, and the Mukai family's family crest.

Li Hu took a closer look at these flags.

Although he didn't recognize some characters here, the Japanese characters originated from Chinese, and he still knew the words "da", "general", "feng" and "xing".

This confirmed from two aspects that what Zhang Huan said should be true.

This corpse was indeed Mukai Tadakatsu, the general of the shogunate navy, was the leader of the Japanese navy that had been dealing with the Polu navy for several years.

"Very good.

Once the inspection proves true, I will report the matter to Mr.

Zhao and ask for credit for Duan Zhixuan."

Li Hu smiled and cupped his hands to the west.

"My lord will definitely reward you, Zhang Huan, you have made extraordinary contributions to the navy of the Polu Army this time."

"Zhang Huan was just a small fisherman in a fishing village seven years ago.

If Master Zhao had not established the navy of the Polu Army and promoted officials to Caomang, Zhang Huan would probably still be struggling to survive in a small fishing village now.

Zhang Huan If you don't do it, you will die."

Zhang Huan saluted respectfully, this was what he really meant.

"Well, Zhang Huan, what you are saying is that without Mr.

Zhao, I would be nothing more than a guard."

Li Hu pointed at dozens of warships floating nearby and more than 10,000 busy soldiers.

"Most of the troops here are The soldiers may still be refugees, and they may have already died.

Therefore, Mr.

Zhao is the benefactor of all the soldiers here. " "Just wait for Master Zhao to reward all the soldiers for their military exploits.

Zhang Huan, just wait for Master Zhao's reward."

Li Hu nodded Zhang Huan with a smile.

Zhang Huan hurriedly saluted, his face now full of joy
