Chapter 403 Raid, Trap
The sun slantly shone on the Haimen Acropolis not far from the river, shining golden like wheat to be harvested.
In order to guard against Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Tang He to come to inspect and move all the fishermen from distant islands to the inland.
But now is the Yongle period, and Zhu Yuanzhang's ban has been loosened.
Several fishing boats sailed into the Jiaojiang River. After the fishing boats docked, the fishermen slowly carried their catches ashore.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw the two soldiers guarding the gate basking in the sun. The fishermen froze in their footsteps, and a large basket carried by two of them fell to the ground.
"Oh! It's all dirty, pick it up quickly, or Mr. Xu won't accept it!"
More than a dozen fishermen gathered around to pick up fish, but one of them slipped quietly to the left along the city wall.
"Where are the fishermen?"
Hanaemon, who passed by the edge of the two fishing villages without being spotted, asked with some vigilance.
Santiao said excitedly: "Those fishermen are all going to deliver fish today, and there are old people in the village who are basking in the sun and waiting to die!"
"Send fish?"
"That's right!" Santiao couldn't help laughing and said, "That Fang woke up to his own death and found a way to sell fish for those fishermen. Don't they often have to deliver the fish?"
"It really is a stupid Akira!" Hanaemon said disdainfully: "That cowardly rebel was actually frightened by such an Ming country, and changed...everything here will be ours!"
That rebellion refers to Ashikaga Yoshichi. At this time, Wa Kingdom closed the communication channels with Daming, which was his handwriting.
"coming!"
At this time, the Japanese pirates in front brought a man dressed as a fisherman over.
"My lords, they found nothing, and the porter is almost asleep."
This person spoke Daming dialect, Hanaemon looked at Zhang Quanda.
Zhang Quanda asked for some details again, and then explained: "Your master has done a good job this time. After the wind is over, we will naturally thank you for sending it. Now you go to send a signal to the inside and control the gate by the way." live."
After the fishermen left, Zhang Quanda told Hanaemon the situation with difficulty concealing his joy, and finally said excitedly: "Let's go, I can't wait."
"Wait for the signal!" Hanaemon shook his head and said.
After the fisherman went back, the group of fishermen carried the big basket and walked towards the gate.
The two sergeants at the gate waved their hands lazily when they saw that the fisherman at the head looked familiar.
As soon as the group of fishermen entered the gate, one of them suddenly took out a bamboo whistle and blew it.
boom!
As soon as the whistle blew, fires ignited in many places in the city, and thick smoke rose slowly, which could be seen from a long distance away.
"kill!"
The group of fishermen turned around and killed the two sergeants. From their point of view, the matter was a sure thing.
"Don't use muskets!"
Following this sound, dozens of archers flashed out from the left and right sides that were empty just now.
Xin Laoqi waved his hand and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
"Puff puff……"
"ah……"
"Kill!"
"Run! The pirates are coming!"
"Where is Uncle? Hurry up and save Uncle!"
"..."
"Rush in!"
"quick!"
When Hanaemon saw the thick smoke, he led a large group of Japanese pirates at a gallop.
There are more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, and they are all young and strong. This is almost the full strength of Hanaemon and Zhang Quanda.
"Get in!"
Hearing the chaotic shouts and screams inside, the Japanese pirates rushed in without any hesitation.
But when less than half of the people rushed in, the Japanese pirates in front suddenly screamed.
"The army of the wise!"
All the Japanese pirates stopped, looking at the array in front of them wearing helmets and visors.
The miserable howling was gone, only the thick smoke was still rising, and because of the lack of wind, it rose higher and higher.
Hanaeemon was in the middle, seeing this scene, his heart felt cold.
Fake!
It's all fake!
Everything inside is fake!
"The enemy is coming from behind!"
Hanaemon, who was about to order to retreat, rushed through the castle gate in a hurry.
I saw a dense Ming Dynasty army slowly approaching, and the front sergeant had the same equipment as the one inside.
Lin Qun'an and Zhang Jin's faces turned red with excitement when they saw that they had captured so many Japanese pirates.
"Go in! Chaos!"
After all, Hanaemon had read books and seen some battle formations, so he knew that he could not retreat at this time, and if he retreated, the whole army would be wiped out.
"They only have more than a thousand people, kill them!"
After learning about the situation, the Japanese pirates roared ferociously, and rushed towards them with long spears and knives in their hands.
There is only one thousand households here, but Fang Xing is not worried at all.
"They are all mobs, so don't use grenades, lest you have to level the ground when you get there. Arrange guns!"
Xin Laoqi immediately raised his knife, stared at him, and waited for the distance to get closer.
And Hanaemon had never seen a musket before, so when he saw that the array was indifferent to the coming impact, he couldn't help but said happily: "Rush into the city, chaos, let the city chaos!"
Then he saw that simple-looking Ming man opened his mouth and swung his knife vigorously.
"The first row... salvo!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The gunshots like popping beans silenced all the Japanese pirates, and they stared blankly at the place of gunpowder smoke in front of them, where the Japanese pirates who were still ecstatic just now fell down.
"Good distance."
Seeing the effect of the first round was so good, Fang Xing felt that it was really cool for the musket array to deal with infantry.
The closer the distance, the greater the lethality of the musket!
"Beep beep!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"..."
At the moment when Huaemon was stunned by the power of the musket, three rounds of salvo passed.
Looking at a large group of companions who fell in front of them, the Japanese pirates who followed were also frightened.
What kind of weapon is this?
"Run..."
At this time, the Japanese pirates had not experienced frequent battles during the Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom, so they had rich experience and good combat effectiveness, so after several rounds of attacks, they finally collapsed.
"It's over..."
Hanaemon looked at his subordinates who turned back and ran away like rabbits in front of him, and felt his hands and feet were cold.
"go ahead!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The array moved forward neatly like a puppet. After the front row finished shooting, they waited in place, allowing the comrades behind them to pass them and continue shooting.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"They are demons of Ming people! Run away!"
The musket array in full body armor completely destroyed the confidence of the Japanese pirates, and everyone was fleeing. Hanaemon and Zhang Quanda were trapped in it, and ran out of the city involuntarily.
But when they ran out of the city gate, they were dumbfounded when they saw the array of muskets.
"Our ship!"
At this time, a Japanese pirate pointed to the sky on the right and shouted in despair.
Just to the right, probably near the sea, there were many puffs of smoke.
On the sea there, dozens of Ming warships blocked the enemy ships that were too late to leave the shore.
"Hahahaha! Uncle Xing is really good at predicting things, we will not be polite for this credit!"
"Let's go up, those Japanese pirates have all gone ashore, and now there are only those who operate the boat!"
The flames were blazing, and there were screams from time to time.
"They jumped into the water and escaped. Pay attention to search. Xing and Bo Ke said that no pirates are allowed to escape this time!"
