Chapter 157 Breaking Tsushima Island
"Boom boom boom boom~" The artillery on the warship roared, and the Japanese pirates on Tsuma Island were curled up behind the water camp, trembling with fear, and they didn't expect to be attacked so violently.
Before, Li Jie and his team arrived, and the Japanese pirates on the island also discovered the arrival of the fleet, but they did not dare to go out to sea to meet the enemy. After all, Li Jie's fleet was too large. With the small boats in their hands, they might not be attacked by others, and they could even sink them by hitting them directly.
However, it is still unsafe to hide on the shore. Under the bombardment of the artillery of the Ming Navy, the Japanese pirates' water camp was also shaking. When this water camp was built, it had never considered a weapon to resist artillery. Under the fierce bombardment of the artillery, the outer wall of the water camp was quickly shot and the village gate collapsed directly. The Japanese pirates in the water camp also suffered heavy losses under the artillery fire.
Li Jie stood on the flagship, looking at the cruel battlefield in front of him with expressionless face. Yao Guangxiao, who was standing beside him, fell into deep thought. He asked Li Jie about the real purpose of this trip, after all, he was to control Goryeo and attack Japan. Such a huge investment must be driven by great interests.
Unfortunately, Li Jie did not answer him, but said the word "Guess" with a smile, which made Yao Guangxiao speechless. But he was still a person who was not willing to give up. So even if Li Jie didn't say it, he wanted to find the answer with his own wisdom.
In fact, sooner or later, Zhu Di will have to tell Zhu Di about the matter of the Japanese silver mine, but now it is still a top secret. Li Jie didn't even tell Zhu Yuning. Only he and Lao Zhu and his son knew about it in the whole world, so it is not appropriate to spread the matter before it is obvious.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the Japanese pirates' water camp had completely lost their function, and the Japanese pirates in the village also fled to a safer place on the island. After all, staying on the shore was simply seeking death. In this case, they could only start landing to clear the remaining Japanese pirates.
"Login!" With Li Jie's order, the troops transport ships behind finally set off. When one of the troops transport ships passed by the flagship, Li Jie also saw Zhang Dingbian on the deck at a glance.
Zhang Dingbian had taken off his monk's robe, changed into armor, holding a long-handled sabre in his hand, and several good horses stood behind him. Originally, when he set out from Zhoushan, there were no horses on the boat, but after arriving at Jeju Island, there were many horses on the island, and Li Jie also generously gave them to Zhang Dingbian and the others.
"Li Ban reads! Thank you!" Zhang Dingbian on the boat also saw Li Jie on the flagship. He held his fists and bowed to Li Jie. Although he knew that Li Jie was selfish, no matter what, the other party gave him the opportunity to rescue the fishermen in the ninth surname.
"General Zhang! Take care!" Li Jie also stood up straight and returned the courtesy, and at the same time changed his name to Zhang Dingbian, because he knew that from today, there would be no more Master Mu Lecture in the world, and the brave Zhang Dingbian who was invincible back then was back!
"Amitabha!" Yao Guangxiao, who was standing aside, also performed a Buddhist ritual to Zhang Dingbian opposite him. He was also a monk. He had a special conversation with Zhang Dingbian when he was on Jeju Island. He was also very impressed by Zhang Dingbian's character, but Zhang Dingbian was already determined to return to secular life at that time, which made Yao Guangxiao very regretful.
The two ships intersected, and soon the transport ship rushed into the water camp, then lowered the boat, Zhang Dingbian led the way, and was the first to board the boat and rushed to the shore.
The Japanese pirates who had already hid far away saw that the enemy was going to land, and immediately organized a counterattack. After all, they knew that if these terrible enemies were allowed to land successfully, they might all die at the hands of these enemies. After all, the water camp has been lost, the ships have also fallen into the hands of the other party, and they are completely trapped on the isolated island.
It was also under this situation that these Japanese pirates began to fight back to the death, and groups of Japanese pirates shouted and rushed towards the landing Ming army on the shore, trying to drive them into the sea.
However, although the wishes of these Japanese pirates were beautiful, the reality was extremely cruel. Zhang Dingbian and others had been practicing for so long, and they were waiting for this moment. Especially Zhang Dingbian, Li Hong and others were all personally involved, which boosted their morale to the peak.
"Kill~" Zhang Dingbian waved his horse-killing sabre and rushed into the Japanese pirates. He was like a tornado, but what he was carrying was a gust of blood and blood. There were almost no enemy he had in the Japanese pirates.
Zhang Dingbian's eight disciples followed closely, followed by elite soldiers led by Li Hong and Li Tie and his son. They were not new recruits, because when they were overseas, they fought with others a lot, and killing people was common. Now, after these people practiced the military formation, they cooperated more efficiently and soon killed the Japanese pirates who rushed forward.
As more and more elite soldiers landed, Zhang Dingbian and others quickly gained a foothold on the shore and began to gradually expand their results. The Japanese pirates retreated again and again. After all, not only did their number be smaller than Zhang Dingbian and others, but their combat power was also very different. Therefore, as long as Zhang Dingbian and others got ashore, it would also represent their defeat.
Li Jie on the flagship raised his telescope and observed the battle situation on the island. When he saw Zhang Dingbian and his team's achievements further expanded, he also put down the telescope because there was no need to see the next time. The Japanese pirates' army had begun to be defeated, and the huge casualties had made them give up their resistance and just fleeing, but he never thought that this was an island and there was no place for them to hide.
"The overall situation has been decided. What are you going to do next?" Zhu Di also put down his telescope and asked Li Jie. After the war began, he had been observing the situation of the two sides, which also inspired him for the naval battle in the first half.
"Wait! Tsushima Island is a group of Japanese pirates on the surface, but in fact it has collusion with all the names in Japan. Now that Tsushima Island is occupied by us, those names will definitely not be bystanders, and they may take action soon!" Li Jie smiled again.
The reason why Japanese pirates are so difficult to clear out is that in addition to the advantages of the Japanese pirates themselves, the most important thing is that there are some support behind them. The plundered property they have supported countless people, such as those traitors on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Daming of Japan. The traitors who had colluded with the Japanese pirates before have been killed by Li Jie. Now it is time for those titans to bleed.
"I understand that the warships in Japan are simple and far from comparable to those of our Ming navy. After they discovered the abnormality of Tsushima Island, if they rashly sent warships to come, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!" Zhu Di nodded and exclaimed when he heard this.
"Uncle Fourth said it right. According to our agreement, we will help Zhang Dingbian and others to destroy the Japanese naval army, so as not to be trapped by Japan and die on Tsuma Island. As long as the Japanese naval army is destroyed, they will be able to use Tsuma Island as the foundation and find opportunities to kill Kyushu Island. As long as they can gain a foothold in Kyushu Island, Tsuma Island will be handed over to us to take charge." Li Jie explained again.
