Chapter 501 The Chinese on Luzon Island "There is no way to fight this battle!"
”The Japanese samurai felt that this battle was too unfair, these damn rockets were shot so far, and you couldn't gnaw a single hair for half a day, and a salvo from people killed and injured you, how could this battle be fought?
In fact, these Japanese samurai didn't know that Quanxu didn't use all his strength to attack the soldiers of the whole family army on Tsushima Island, but only temporarily pulled them over to make up the numbers.Without waiting for Shi Lang and others to shoot in the third wave, these Japanese samurai spread their feet and turned into a group, and those samurai who wielded katana and howled loudly, and tried in vain to rush to the Ming army to fight hand-to-hand with the Ming army, and thousands of people collapsed with a hula and fled to the city, only hating their father and mother for having two legs!
The crossbow arrows were still flying back, hitting their vests and bringing them down, and the heart-rending screams and the muffled sound of the human body falling to the ground made the unhit samurai more and more frightened, and they fled faster.Shi Lang looked at the fleeing Japanese samurai and was a little incredulous: "This is the cross?"
”Looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of the Japanese samurai, no one would doubt their combat effectiveness, and anyone thought that they were very capable of fighting.I didn't expect it to be useless!
Shi Lang was slightly stunned, and then became angry.Mom, Lao Tzu pointed to your head to reduce the sentence, how can you escape, how can you escape!
Shi Lang's broken saber waved: "Leave two hundred people to cut off the head, and the others will chase after me, kill them into the city, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
”The second-echelon attacking members of the Taiwan Task Force, brandishing spears and broken sabers, roared and rushed towards the fleeing Japanese samurai, grabbed them from behind, slashed them one by one, and then cut off their heads and hung them on their waists, and pounced on the next one with red eyes.The North Korean sailors saw that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and they also chased after the guys, they were beaten into dogs by the Japanese samurai just now, and they were embarrassed, and they were all holding back their anger, and now they can finally vent to their heart's content.The Japanese samurai who were shot in the leg were the first to suffer, and the Korean sailors sneered and pounced on the unfortunate men who were crying and crawling towards the city trying to find a way out, swinging their knives at their hands and feet, and they were not killing the enemy at all, but torture.The terrible screams of the Japanese samurai resounded in the blue sea and blue sky!
In the blink of an eye, pirates and Korean sailors had stormed Tsushima Castle, engaging in fierce street battles with Japanese samurai and fishermen in the streets.Now the Japanese samurai have no way to retreat, but to use the terrain to fight desperately with the coalition forces, and the broken saber and the katana collide fiercely here, bursting out a string of sparks.And even if they are not familiar with the terrain, the pirates still have the advantage, because they are all wearing iron armor, and the luckiest ones have also caught a pair of leather armor, the thickest cowhide reaches fifteen millimeters, and the nitrate is so hard, although the Japanese katana is extremely sharp, but the ability to cut the armor is scum, and they are helpless in the face of these pirate warriors wearing strong armor.However, the broken saber in the hands of the pirates has a strong ability to cut armor, and it is easy to cut Japanese samurai wearing leather armor and bamboo armor!
Arrows are flying in the streets and alleys, swords are like snow, on one side there is no way to retreat but to fight the trapped beasts, and on the other side is extremely eager for the other party's head that can be exchanged for freedom for itself, pressing step by step, which makes the war extremely cruel, that square inch of land has become a slaughterhouse, people are constantly joining the battlefield, constantly people have mutilated bodies and spurting blood to fall, walking on the streets, it is difficult not to step on the dead body.The combat effectiveness of the Japanese samurai is still quite good, even if the equipment is far inferior to the people, they are not discouraged, three or five groups of loud monsters screamed to meet them, advancing and retreating, the pirate warriors showed a little flaw, they went straight into the sword, the pirate warriors only felt a cold throat, the throat and the major artery were cut off, exposed to the air.As the casualties of the Zheng pirates increased, the angry pirates began to set fires, throwing torches everywhere.You know, Japan is a good place where natural disasters are very frequent, and earthquakes are commonplace, so most houses in Japan are built with wood, bark, cardboard, etc., which are as light as possible, and such houses will not crush people even if they are knocked down by earthquakes.But this thing is not fireproof, and what is even worse is that most of the towns in Japan are like canned sardines, houses next to each other, and if one house catches fire, the whole street can't escape.The small fire was so small that the flames suddenly burst into the sky, and the residents of Tsushima Island, who were hiding in their houses and shivering, were trapped in the smoke and fire and cried loudly, and many people rushed out with a scream of fire, and the North Korean sailors kicked back into the fire.In the blink of an eye, Tsushima City was in flames, and thick smoke rushed up to the sky, and the screams of the Japanese islanders shook the heavens and the earth, which was particularly thrilling!
The Portuguese ship Supermariner, which was watching the battle in the rear, was actually not only Portuguese, but also Dutch and Spaniard.With the rise of the family's naval power, almost all European pirates regarded the family's navy as a potential enemy.Quan Xu deliberately showed off his muscles, so he didn't care about the watching of these European pirates at all, and even let people go out to sea to give them a more convenient observation perspective.At this time, the war on Tsushima Island was basically coming to an end, and the Super Mariner was also afraid that the whole family army would pick up the rabbits and take the opportunity to clean them up, so the Super Mariner raised its sails and evacuated the Tsushima Strait."
Guys, what do you think of this war?"
The representative of the Dutch East India Company, General Erwin, who was invincible in a hundred battles, looked at everyone solemnly.Although the supersailor was Portuguese, the Portuguese became the most powerful maritime hegemon in the 15th and 16th centuries, with a large number of colonies in Africa, Asia and the United States.In 1580 AD, they were incorporated into Spain and did not regain their independence until eight years later, in 1640.At that time, Spain was also in decline, and the Dutch were the uncrowned kings of Europe.Major Pedro, the captain of the Portuguese Supermariner, exclaimed: "Their archers are too powerful, God, this is not war at all, this is a massacre!"
”Erwin smiled bitterly: "Gentlemen, I must remind you that according to our intelligence, these people are not the elite soldiers of the Liaodong Governor of the Ming Dynasty, his real elite soldiers are those who wear black armor and hold muskets in a straight queue, advancing layer by row, that kind of soldiers are the real elite of the Governor of the East!"
”Erwin is very helpless, unlike those indigenous tribes and countries, the Ming is too powerful, and there are too many of them, and the firecrackers, artillery and even the kind of flying rockets are no worse than the equipment of their European countries.They are not afraid of the roar of artillery, they are not afraid of the line of muskets to shoot, and when they engage such an enemy, they can only be like European gentlemen, step forward in rows, and carry muskets in rows for lives, comparing whose army is not afraid of death, whose population is more.But the problem is that they can't really fight with Daming, Daming has more than 100 million people, not to mention one-to-one desperate lives, even if ten Daming fight them out, all of them will die in the end.Now the most uncomfortable are the Dutch, Taiwan was robbed by Quanxu, the combined fleet in the Far East was killed more than half, and those prisoners were still exchanged for a full one million taels of silver.That Liaodong governor manages a territory larger than Spain, with a population of millions, hundreds of thousands of elite troops, nobles like Quan Xu, and dozens of people in the Ming Dynasty, which makes people shudder when they think about it.Erwin is very confident in the military strength of the Netherlands, but he doesn't think that the Netherlands can fight such a clone army with a fierce murderous aura all over his body!
If Quan Xu is really provoked, they will probably have to eat and walk around, not only will they not be able to make money, but they will also have to die a lot of people, which will be too unworthy.Erwin pondered how to ease relations with Quanxu, confrontation was not their only choice, and win-win cooperation was the best way.The governor of Liaodong led a powerful force that was rising strongly in this ancient empire, with an unrivalled appetite and extremely strong productivity, creativity, and of course, a huge market.Liaodong lacks mineral resources in East Asia and Southeast Asia, if this business can be done......
Profit is the standard by which a businessman measures everything, as long as there is enough profit, what about cooperating with the devil?
It's just that Erwin doesn't know that some things are clearly destined by God.Just as Tsushima was on fire, a massacre was taking place in Manila, Philippines, in Luzon............
There were many pirates in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zuyi, Wang Zhi, Lin Daoqian, Lin Feng, Li Dan, Zheng Zhilong......
Almost endlessly.In fact, since trade was illegal and without the support and protection of the government, the merchants had to arm themselves so that they would not be killed by other pirates.They mingled between the coast of China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and in order to facilitate their frequent expatriate abroad, there were many foreigners in their ranks: Japanese, blacks, Southeast Asians, and so on.In order to avoid injuring their families on land, many Chinese maritime merchants simply dressed up in fancy clothes and disguised themselves as Japanese samurai.From the official point of view of the Ming Dynasty, they were the Japanese who infested the coast.And from their own point of view, they are just ordinary people who have broken through the shackles of the times and hope to be free to make a living.When the Spaniards conquered Manila, there were already many Chinese living here, including merchants, laborers, and craftsmen.They deliver goods from China to the area for sale, and also take on jobs in all walks of life.Like the Chinese of later generations, most of them were industrious, thrifty, and silent, eager to earn money to support their families, and did not like strife.After the arrival of the Spaniards in Manila, there was cooperation with the Chinese, as well as skirmishes.
