Chapter 583 Oita Battle 3

The Trojan Massacre of the City, a famous battle in ancient Greece.

Around the thirteenth century BC, Spartan king Menelaus asked for help from the Greek city-states because his wife Helen was taken away by Paris and sent troops to Troy together. But Troy was able to resist the Greek coalition because of the help of the female Amazon warrior and the son of the goddess of dawn, and was secretly assisted by Venus. However, because Athena could not get the golden apple, she was unwilling to let Troy go, and instructed Odysseus to offer a plan to massacre the city to the Greek coalition. One day, the Greek coalition suddenly retreated and left a Trojans, which the Trojans brought back to the city as trophy. That night, when the Trojan soldiers celebrated their victory, the Greek soldiers hiding in the Trojans quietly opened the city gate, welcomed the warships outside the city, and wiped out the city overnight. All the men in the city were killed.

Now it seems that the Trojan horse massacre seems a bit incredible, but from this war, one truth can be understood, that is, the way of war, just like this war, the Trojan walls are indestructible, and Greece has not had any effect after nine years of fighting, and only by destroying from the inside can it defeat the enemy.

In a way, the city in front of us has a very imaginative characteristic with Troy, which is that it is indestructible. It is difficult to play a role when attacking from the outside, so it can only be destroyed from the inside.

Of course, Jiang Lang would not build a wooden horse and then hide some soldiers inside, which would have no effect.

However, Jiang Lang had most of the armor stolen from Kou Mu Jun, and no one could tell the difference between the armor and the cover. Although Kou Mu Jun was relatively short, of course there were also tall people among them.

Jiang Lang planned to let his people dress up as Komu Jun, then enter the city, and then destroy it from the inside.

If it were normal, this trick was not effective. After all, no one believed the tens of thousands of troops falling from the sky. But this time it was different. On the sea, the Komu Army still had a large fleet of rushing towards this side. The number of ships was more than 300, which was twice the number of the Ming fleet. Even if the Ming Dynasty was strong, it would not be possible to completely intercept them. Some Komu Army would definitely be able to escape and then land. After landing, their only best choice was to enter the city to have a way out. Jiang Lang planned to let his people pretend to be Komu Army and enter the city at the right time.

After whispering his plan to Deng Yuanjue, Jiang Lang asked, "What do you think?"

Deng Yuanjue couldn't help but show joy on his face, clapped his hands and said, "Sir, this is a very good plan, but one thing is, how many people do we have to go to? Are there many Komu Jun in the city?"

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and said, "It's still necessary to be at night. We can't see clearly at night. Our chances are the best. And then the troops outside the city must cooperate in the attack, so that we can have the chance to approach the city gate. Look, now our main force is concentrated in the West Gate. If time goes by, the team outside will have to attack the West Gate and welcome the enemy's main force. Only then will we have the chance to go to the North Gate and control the North Gate. And at the beginning of the feint attack, this team must move outside the North Gate. Once we control the North Gate, we will enter the city in the shortest time."

"That adult doesn't know if it's time?"

Deng Yuanjue asked again that Jiang Lang’s plan was good, but the coordination of time was a problem, especially with the time at sea. First, if the Komu Army was intercepted by the Ming Dynasty on the sea, people would naturally send people to inform Oita. After the defeat, it would take some time. If it was too early, it would arouse suspicion from others. Maybe after you were allowed to enter, you would be surrounded and eaten. If it was too late, the remaining soldiers of the Komu Army gathered together. The so-called lean camel is larger than the horse and cannot have an advantage in number, so this battle would be difficult to fight. Therefore, the time when the remaining soldiers appeared must be just right. Another point is that it would take time to mobilize armor.

When Deng Yuanjue said that Jiang Lang understood his meaning, he thought a little, and then said: "It should be too late to go in time. It will take two days for our fleet to fight against the Komu Army. The Komu Army will probably have to arrive here. One day, the remaining soldiers will be dispersed and gathered together for one day. In other words, we still have four days to pass my order now. However, Kumamoto's soldiers dressed up as Komu Army soldiers and rushed over overnight. Remember, they can't be discovered by Komu Army!"

It was time to come overnight. Deng Yuan felt that there was still more time to delay the situation and immediately asked the soldiers to send orders.

Two days later, at sea.

According to the Komu Army route shown by the intelligence, the Ming Dynasty's fleet began to arrive at the scheduled location. It didn't take long before the spies who went out to observe came back to report and found the traces of the Komu Army fleet.

The Ming fleet, which had been impatient for a long time, immediately rushed towards the Mu Jun warship without hesitation.

Not long after, the two sides discovered each other. Seeing the Ming fleet that appeared here, Mu Jun was shocked, while the Ming fleet was overjoyed.

Both sides issued orders almost at the same time.

The Komu Army's warship immediately left the fleet and rushed towards the Ming fleet. Then the transport ship immediately changed its route in an attempt to get rid of the Ming warship's pursuit.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the fleet was divided into two parts. More than 70 warships began to welcome the warships of the Mu Army, and the rest of the warships rushed towards the transport vehicles. The ships had no firepower and were loaded with soldiers. If the guns were bombarded, many people would die. Even if they were hit, it would be enough to make many of these Mu Army's food for sea fish.

The new Ming warships account for the majority of the fleet. Although they are larger than the previous warships, their speed is not inferior to that of previous warships. As auxiliary ships, the speed is much smaller. Moreover, the Ming fleet is rushing towards them. It is not easy for sailboats that rely on wind to change their course.

The warships of both sides took the lead in contact.

Even after two years, the Komu Army still did not change much in artillery and still used solid shells, but the Ming Dynasty was different. Even if it was a new type of warship, the warships produced in the front and rear were also different. The warships behind had improved their firepower and armor, especially the reinforcement of the waterline of the hull and the position of the gun muzzle. The purpose was to prevent the suicide attack of the Komu Army. It also used a floating box structure hull. Even if a hole was broken, the ship would not sink. What's more, there was a layer of steel plate in the manufacturing wood at the bottom of the ship.

Another type is the improvement of the Daming artillery, which changed from the front to the rear, and the rate of fire is at least twice the original one.

The solid shells used by the Komu Army proved that when the new warships first came out, they had little effect on the armor of the warships, not to mention the current improved hull.

The current Ming warships can completely ignore the attacks of the warships on the Kou Mujun sea.

"boom……!"

The Ming warships were the first to fire. They had an advantage in range, but now they are fighting an annihilation battle, so you naturally don’t have to be polite.

The whole warship fired together was very spectacular. With the rumbling sound, the Ming Dynasty's warship artillery began to roar, and countless shells began to come to the top of the Komu Army fleet, and then began to cover them densely. Then, a huge explosion sounded again, and many Komu Army station warships suddenly rose up with huge fireballs. Many Komu Army soldiers on the deck lost their lives in the artillery fire, or were thrown into the sea by the shock wave.

Some fell into the sea and splashed water columns all over the sky.

At the same time, the warships of the Komu Army also began to be designed. The Ming warships were relatively large and easy to be concentrated. However, the previous battles provided a lot of experience for the Ming Dynasty. During the warship artillery battle, all soldiers had not been hiding under the deck of the ship, and some parts of the deck were reinforced. The local shells fell down but only smashed the boss's pit. Therefore, the wooden guns of the Komu Army did not cause any casualties except for the wood chips that caused the Ming warships to fly across. Of course, the original warships did not have this protective ability, so they all hid behind the new warships. They did not participate in the first round of attacks. Instead, after the warships of both sides approached, they used their mobility to make up for the shortcomings of the new warships. Just like modern air combat, the combination of high and low combat aircraft was emphasized.

The first round of artillery of the Komu Army had just finished firing, and the Ming warships fired again. With such a fast filling speed, many people in the Komu Army had a big fight. When they were surprised, some shells had already arrived on their heads.

On the sea, the Ming Dynasty's warships had a firm advantage in terms of tonnage and firepower, but the Komu Army did not dare to escape. They had to protect those transport vehicles that had no protective capabilities, so even if there was a cliff in front of them, they had to jump down.

The warships on both sides slowly approached and then intertwined.
