Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 127 The Battle of Zhoushan ([-])

The artillery salvo fired, and the artillery of the three warships fell, bombarding the port and the nearby sea, almost indiscriminately.

The artillery of this era was not accurate enough, but in fact the warships of the pirates did not have the ability to counterattack with firepower, and were basically unilateral bombing.

The shells fell on the sea surface of the port, on the ships, and on the fortifications along the coast. A small number of pirates who had no time to escape were organizing a counterattack. It was Yamamoto 62's team. They ran slowly, and now they can only choose to counterattack.

However, Zhoushan Port has only two artillery pieces, which is far from the opponent of Zheng He's warships.

boom

The artillery at the port counterattacked, and Zheng He also discovered it.

All the artillery of a warship aimed at the fortifications in the port of Zhoushan, and began to bombard it.

Some pirates on the sea at the port were ready to fight back after they felt that they could not escape, but the disorderly pirates could not organize a large-scale and orderly counterattack.

The best ships of Wang Baoyu and others carried them away at the first time. These pirates have no benevolence and morality at all, and they will not fight to the death. They will attack when they are weak, and run when they are strong.

The ships that were left were simply powerless against Zheng He's ships.

Wang Baoyu looked at the artillery bombardment of Zheng He's fleet from a distance and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, he ran fast. This idiot Yamamoto 62 still wants to confront Zheng He head-on. Do you have the capital?"

"Brother, do you really ignore them?"

"Come on? Don't worry, I won't die if I go back."

"We have a lot of people, so we don't necessarily have no chance."

"You have a hole in your head, or you should go back and take the lead."

After being scolded by Wang Baoyu, the man stopped talking. During this trip to Zhoushan, Wang Baoyu almost plundered all the property on Zhoushan Island, and he had to work hard to get everything, which was not in line with the principle of pirates.

Zheng He only dared to attack recklessly because he had precisely grasped the pirate's thinking.

This kind of temporarily formed big pirate alliance has its own mind, it is difficult to achieve complete unity within the alliance, and it is natural to fly separately when disaster strikes.

The fast-running Wang Baoyu team ran out a lot, but Yamamoto 62 was still on the island, and he cursed viciously: "Damn Wang Baoyu, next time I see him, I will definitely rip him off."

"What should we do now, Yamamoto-kun? Zheng He's warships are already outside the port, and their firepower is too strong."

Looking at the huge and ferocious warship, these people were timid. The three warships were like three giant dragons across the port, spitting fire snakes.

If you don't go inside the port, to avoid the opponent's ground troops from easily attacking you, you will be forced to fight by boat.

"Approach with small boats, let's counterattack." Yamamoto 62 issued an order. If he doesn't counterattack now, he can only watch the opponent's warships continue to bombard his side.

Moreover, Zheng He's warships did not intend to shrink the attack range, but even bombed the original fortifications of the port Zhoushan Island, and bombarded them indiscriminately.

It is better to fight to the death than to be slaughtered.

Yamamoto 62 had nowhere to escape, and he could only order a counterattack in order to survive. His troops were more cohesive than Wang Baoyu, at least many of them were his former subordinates in Dongpu.

Not those stragglers who are casually brought in.

"Lord Zheng He, the pirates have counterattacked."

"The warships continue to bomb, don't stop the tiger cannons, put soldiers in small boats to clear up the pirates that appeared around the warships, hold grenades, and the four or seven of Akka will go first."

Small boats were put down from the warship, and they were all soldiers holding grenades and Akka Siqi.

Pirates have never seen these new weapons.

Although the pirates do not have the capital to confront the warships, the accuracy of the artillery is not limited after all, and now the pirates have to rush in and it is impossible to sink them all, so the soldiers can only take the small boats for defense to avoid damage to the warships.

The small boats are all experienced navy, and they are holding new weapons. Everyone is in high spirits, and there is no disadvantage in numbers. Why should they be afraid of each other.

"Kill, brothers, kill all these pirates."

For a while, the water wave was turbulent, and several small boats that rushed through the gunfire of the warship rushed over, and it was difficult to stand firm under the washing of the sea.

Above the boat, several soldiers looked at the pirate ship that was approaching at full speed not far away, pulled the lead, and threw the grenade with precision.

In addition, some people held Aka Siqi and kept shooting, causing them to retreat.

"What's the matter? What kind of weapon is this?"

The first wave was the most courageous pirates, but the pirates who were killed did not stay, and the pirates behind did not dare to rush forward at all.

All of them abandoned the boat and ran to Zhoushan Island, and they were beaten to death.

"No way, Yamamoto-kun, the opponent's weapons are too strong. One time it's explosives, and another time it's firearms. Our people can't get close to the warship at all." .

Yamamoto 62 was in a hurry. If his team was empty here, even if he ran out, his power would be gone.

"There are still two cannons on the island, go up and fight."

The two remaining artillery pieces on Zhoushan Island were re-arranged, and all those who fired the artillery pieces before were scared away by Zheng He's firepower.

Cannonballs were fired at Zheng He's warships, but the firepower was not on the same level.

"Yamamoto-kun, take the civilians on the island as hostages."

Seventy-eighth of the military households on the island were killed, and there were not many left.

Yamamoto 62 gritted his teeth: "Order everyone to withdraw to Zhoushan Island and negotiate with civilians as hostages."

Less than an hour after the start of the war, the other party died. Except for the group of people who ran at the beginning, the sea of ​​the port was full of pirates' corpses. At a rough glance, there were no less than two hundred.

Our army suffered few casualties. Relying on the strength of warships and new weapons, our soldiers avoided most hand-to-hand battles, thereby reducing casualties. In such a battle, Zheng He was surprised by such a strong loss ratio between the enemy and us.

New weapons and new warships must be developed, and must be developed.

"The other side has retracted its forces and returned to Zhoushan Island."

"It seems that he wants to negotiate with us." Zheng He immediately made a judgment.

Zhu Zhanchang asked, "What about the escaped Japanese pirates?"

"His Royal Highness, the sea is boundless, and they are not the only ones to kill. At this time, they may still be thinking about our two sides coming back to get a bargain."

Zheng He also accurately predicted the thinking of the pirates. Wang Baoyu was staring at this place from the periphery, waiting for an opportunity. If Zheng He's warship won, he would run immediately, and if Zheng He's warship lost, he would run away. Surrounded back from the rear, showing the trend of pincer attack.

"Big brother, you really use your soldiers like a god, and plan for me. After they finish fighting, we will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"That's called strategizing, don't be flattering."

Wang Baoyu really thought as Zheng He expected, and of course Zheng He didn't intend to let these greedy pirates go.

"Send a small boat to notify Chen Youshan at the rear, and surround them with a long way to intercept the pirate troops from the rear. We will not go ashore first and confront Zhoushan Island."

Soldiers pay attention to judgment, to judge the situation, and to judge the thoughts of the opponent.

As long as you can predict the opponent's next move, you can better plan your next move.

Most of the stories of using soldiers as gods are to predict the opponent's prediction and make the opponent lose their initiative.

Of course, the strongest thing is to predict the other party's pre-judgment of my pre-judgment, plus the other party's psychological struggle has also been pinched by me.

This is Sidu Chishui. Legend has it that God's perspective is opened, and the sand table is used to simulate tactics that are incomprehensible.

Zhu Zhanchang felt that he would never be able to command a god-level operation like crossing the Chishui River all his life. All he needed was to understand the military, understand the war, and avoid being deceived in the future.

Zheng He's military talent deserves to be praised by Zhu Di. He accurately predicted the opponent's actions at every step, and also grasped the opponent's psychology. He has dealt with these pirates for too long, and how many big pirates he has seen are accumulated over time. experience.

"Master Zheng He, the No. [-] warship was hit by the opponent's artillery on the side, and there was a leak."

"is it serious?"

"It's been patched up, nothing serious."

"That's good, let's continue to stand by."

It didn't take long for the boat that went out to report the letter to return, and Zheng He counted the time.

"Master Zheng, what are you doing?" Zhu Zhanchang asked curiously.

"Time for the rear fleet to reach the rear of the perimeter pirates."

"Can this count?" Zhu Zhanchang was surprised.

Zheng He smiled slightly.

In this era, there was no communication function, and large-scale operations at sea depended entirely on judgment and experience.

When the time was almost up, Zheng He ordered: "The two paddlewheel warships at the tail stand on standby. The pirates and pirates on the island will not be allowed to go out to sea. If anyone goes to sea, they will all be wiped out.
