The Wu army used explosives to directly explode the gate of Kagoshima Castle, which not only caught the Japanese defenders in Kagoshima Castle off guard, but also killed the main Japanese army stationed in Qianyan Temple in a hurry, completely disrupting the wishful thinking of the main Japanese army.

Originally, in the plan of the decision-making level of the Satsuma clan, it was planned to use Kagoshima Ken Castle to delay the war until it was dark. It would be best if the Wu army continued to attack the city. If the Wu army chose to withdraw its troops and return to the camp, the defenders in Kagoshima City would take the initiative to attack and restrain the Wu army. At the same time, the Japanese army, which was not very far from Kagoshima City, took the opportunity to attack, take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and strength in this area, and raided the Wu army's positions in several ways, killing the Wu army in a hurry, and also strive to create victory and reverse the passive situation on the sea.

Unfortunately, although the abacus was beautiful, the top and the other side of the Satsuma family unfortunately met Wu Jun who did not play according to the rules. As soon as they came up, they directly attacked the city gate and used the city gate that had not appeared before in the history of the Japanese war, and directly exploded the city gate of Kagoshima Castle. As a result, after the news was sent to the Thousand Eye Temple by the scout, Shimazu Kuraku could only hurriedly ask the retainers: "What should I do? Should I give up Kagoshima Castle directly?"

"It would be a pity to give up Kagoshima Castle directly." Infantry Supervisor Okupo Rito rushed to say: "Although the Qing army used gunpowder to blow up the city gate, they were not familiar with the terrain in the city. It would never be possible to truly take Kagoshima Castle in a short period of time. We should seize this opportunity and immediately dispatch the main force to reinforce Kagoshima Castle. If we can defeat the Qing army that lined up to intercept us, we will not only be able to protect Kagoshima Castle, but also turn defeat into victory and win this battle."

"You can't take risks." Saigo Takamoto, who had been with Okupo Ritto, rarely sang a counter-tune and said: "Our scouts reported that the Qing people dispatched at least 3,000 people to attack Kagoshima Castle, but only about 1,500 people were sent to intercept our reinforcements on the periphery. The flags of the generals who led the troops were larger and more prominent, and it was obvious that they had a higher status. The Qing people led a few troops to intercept us with senior generals, which shows that the troops around him must be all the elite soldiers of the Qing country. They dared to arrange this way if they were confident and sure. We knew nothing about the enemy's tactical equipment, and taking risks to fight their elite soldiers may suffer a great loss."

"Then you can't watch the Qing people take Kagoshima Castle, right?" Okupo Rito retorted: "If the enemy is unknown, you cannot fight with the enemy. If we don't know the actual situation of the enemy, we will never fight with the enemy's main force?"

"We can send a small number of troops to test the enemy's main force. If we can fight, we will dispatch the main force. If we can't fight, we will retreat quickly." Saigo Takamori replied, and said, "As for Kagoshima Castle, to be honest, our Kagoshima Castle was wrong when choosing a location. It did not consider the threat from the sea, its location was too close to the sea, and the Qing people's fleet was so powerful. Even if we saved Kagoshima Castle today, we would definitely not be able to save it in the future. It would be better to give up and give up on our army first and wait for reinforcements to come before considering counterattack."

Takamoto Saigo's persistence still played a certain role, at least it made Okubo Ritsu, who advocated the decisive battle, calmed down and carefully considered his suggestions. Shimazu Kuratsu was also moved by Takamoto Saigo's words. After a moment of calculation, he ordered Okubo Ritsu: "Okubo, use Saigo's method. You can take three thousand people to test the combat effectiveness of the Qing Dynasty. If you can fight, I will lead the main force to reinforce you. If you can't fight, retreat immediately and give priority to protecting the army!"

"Hayi!" Okupo Rito agreed without hesitation, and immediately came to the middle of the army to send troops and personally led 3,000 troops to test the strength of the Wu army's mainland division.

At the same time, the two new soldiers under Chen Yucheng's command had already entered Kagoshima City one after another. As Saigo Takamoto expected, because he had no idea about the internal situation and architectural structure of the Japanese city, the Wu army was indeed very difficult to fight in the street fighting. He was constantly knocked down and injured by the Japanese army's cold guns. He suffered a lot of casualties but was slowly advancing. He had to rely on a small number of bitter and sour grenades to open up the road. He finally opened up a position in the city to protect the rear team led by Chen Yucheng into the city for combat.

The situation in the city is still very chaotic. Japanese soldiers who are familiar with the terrain hide in various hidden places and constantly shoot Wu soldiers with cold guns. Wu soldiers usually have to find out where the enemy is after the enemy fires. They are passively and have no idea of ​​effectively killing the remaining enemies and launching a main attack in which direction. Fortunately, the commander of this Wu army is Chen Yucheng, who is experienced and smart. When he knows nothing about the inside of the enemy's city, he judges through various signs such as fire, flags and the dense firepower of the enemy. Chen Yucheng soon discovered that the Japanese command center was probably in the west of Kagoshima City, and decisively pointed to the position called Nishimaru by the Japanese, shouting: "Fight west! The command center of the Japanese pirates is 80% there!"

The facts proved that Chen Yucheng's judgment was correct. After launching a strong attack on Nishimaru in Kagoshima Castle, Wu Jun was indeed stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army's dense firepower. Chen Yucheng was not polite and decisively ordered the soldiers to use a small number of bitter and sour grenades to open the way. The bitter and sour grenades hit the enemy one after another. The Japanese soldiers hiding inside and outside the house cried and howled, either dead or injured, and kept escaping from the hiding place that had already caught fire. Wu Jun soldiers took the opportunity to shoot and strode towards Nishimaru. However, when only one step away from the Nishimaru courtyard wall, Wu Jun's offensive suddenly slowed down. He just threw two grenades at the gate and stopped moving. Chen Yucheng was furious and asked the sentry officer responsible for the assault, "Why stop? Why don't you continue to pitch grenades?"

"Reporting to Cheng Tianyu, it's gone." The whistleman replied dejectedly: "The forty grenades from the Mongsu, as well as the grenades from other sentries to support the Mongsu, have all been used up."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yucheng shouted: "Get out and change to my personal soldiers!"

"Zheng Tianyu, you can't come on the way myself!" The warden officer quickly stopped him.

"Shut up! Call me Chen Shou Ge, and call me wrong next time, I will be engaged in military law!"

He shouted loudly to his subordinates, and Chen Yucheng repeatedly ordered the six personal soldiers and teams he commanded came forward. He first arranged a grenade bomb thrower and then hurriedly prepared a piece of wood for hitting the door. Then with the order, the grenade thrower immediately stepped forward one after another, threw twenty grenades at the gate of Ximaruyuan in one breath, causing the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate to jump into the ground, and the victims were killed and injured. Chen Yucheng's personal soldiers carrying the big wood immediately charged and hit the door. Chen Yucheng personally led other personal soldiers to shoot at the top of the courtyard wall, covering the door with fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! After repeated impacts, the old-fashioned courtyard gate, which had been injured by grenades, was finally knocked open by Chen Yucheng's personal soldiers. However, as soon as the gate opened, dense bullets were shot out from the courtyard, killing and injuring several Wu soldiers to the gate. Fortunately, Chen Yucheng was also mentally prepared for this, and the grenade thrower immediately stepped forward again and smashed more than ten grenades into the courtyard in one breath. In the flames and smoke, Chen Yucheng suddenly roared and took the lead in rushing towards the gate of Ximaru's courtyard. The personal soldiers behind were afraid that Chen Yucheng would make mistakes, so they shouted and followed.

Next, the Japanese army's reaction was greatly beyond the surprise of Chen Yucheng and the Wu army soldiers. When Chen Yucheng rushed into the gate with his direct relatives, in addition to the bullets above the walls and pavilions, there were Japanese soldiers carrying bayonets to charge against each other. However, after the initial shock, Chen Yucheng immediately shouted happily: "Get the bayonet! Let the Japanese pirates see how powerful we are!"

The bayonets were unsheathed one after another and quickly inserted them onto the head of the Minnie spear. Under Chen Yucheng, the Wu army soldiers picked up the bayonets and charged each time. A bloody bayonet battle was also launched in the courtyard of the Japanese command Nishimaru. The Japanese army shouted Bageya Road, while the Wu army soldiers shouted, "Bitch! Die!"

…………

At the same time, the Wu army's head general Huang Yuanbao had already received the news that the Japanese army in Qianyan Temple were strode towards Kagoshima Castle. What made Huang Yuanbao so angry that he screamed was that the Japanese army had only sent three thousand people to deal with the three elite Wu army battalions he personally led - Isn't this clearly looking down on Huang Yuanbao, who is a powerful general who can count his fingers in the Wu army?

"Brother Huang San, let me go." A battalion official volunteered: "The last general will only take the battalion up to the headquarters to protect and kill the three thousand Japanese pirates!"

"Shut up, what else can I do if you beat me away?" Huang Yuanbao scolded him in anger, and suddenly had an idea and quickly shouted: "Land the square array, arranged three square arrays in the shape of a font, which made the Japanese pirates think we were afraid and dare not fight them head-on! Seeing my flag fighting, there is no order, no grenade launcher, and no lie-on-side shooting! The sniper is also keeping me honestly, no order, no shooting!"

The order was conveyed, and the strictly trained elite Wu army battalion immediately arranged three hollow hedgehog formations in a font shape, and early on it was a defensive posture of defending but not attacking. As a result, after the news was reported to Okupo Ritsu, Okupo Ritsu was indeed deceived. He no longer had too many concerns and just urged the army to move quickly. He soon led the army to the periphery of the Wu army's position.

But he was no longer too concerned. After carefully observing the three square formations of the Wu army, he found that the Wu army's formation was very strict and difficult to break through. Forced attacks would definitely cause a lot of casualties. Okubo did not dare to take risks, so he chose to divide his troops and detour. He first blocked the retreat of Huang Yuanbao's army with a thousand people, and then invested 200 troops and carefully launched an attack on the hollow hedgehog formation in front of Wu army.

Under Huang Yuanbao's personal command, Wu's actual combat performance once again made Okupo Ri feel relieved. The Wu army soldiers deliberately used two stages of fire to fight. After firing a firing needle, the bullet had to silently fire dozens of times before reloading the bullet. They deliberately slowed down the fire speed of their own army to only slightly faster than the front loading gun. At the same time, they deliberately did not use the field killer weapon, the precious sniper who piled up the silver hid in the hollow square formation and did not move, and tried to preserve their strength.

The tentative attack of the two hundred-day soldiers was quickly repelled by the Wu army's platoon. After discovering that the elite Wu army camp was not outstanding, Okupo Ritsu was finally relieved. He first used the banner to let the 1,000 people who had deviated to the rear of the Wu army in advance to launch an attack, restrained the two elite battalions of the Wu army's rear team, and then decisively invested 1,500 people to attack the Wu army camp team in front from the front and left and right wings at the same time, and shouted directly: "Stop up and break through the Qing Dynasty's square formation! Kill all the Qing people in this square formation!"

Of course, Okubo soon discovered that he had been traumatized by Huang Yuanbao. When the Japanese army rushed from the direction entered the range of the rifle, Huang Yuanbao gave the order first, and the Wu army soldiers immediately lie down together, and then the Wu army's grenade launcher that was ambushing the hollow hedgehog formation immediately fired together, and fired forty grenade launchers in one breath. At the same time, the Wu army's snipers had also fired, shooting accurately the Japanese generals wearing conspicuous armor.

The brutal massacre began. While the middle-level Japanese generals were hit by bullets shot from Wu's snipers, the grenade launcher shells that were shot from the sky had fallen from the sky and exploded into the dense squad of Japanese soldiers. The earth-shaking explosions exploded one after another. The Japanese soldiers also fell into pools of blood in groups. They screamed and hummed and went directly to see the great master Amaterasu. The originally dense and neat horizontal lines were in chaos.

Grenade launchers that were so fast that they could be fired were still falling, and the Japanese soldiers continued to fall one after another in the explosion. They were either blown away without bones, incomplete limbs, or bloody all over their bodies. Many Japanese soldiers who caught fire on their bodies rolled and screamed on the ground, and even the poor voices of despair and crying were felt a little distressed when they heard it. Almost in the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with the bodies of Japanese soldiers and seriously injured.

Here we must praise the spirit of the Japanese soldiers' Bushido. While their companions fell to the ground, many Japanese soldiers still launched on-board charges, trying to rush close to each other to fight with Wu soldiers who were so scared that they only dared to lie on the ground to avoid bullets. Unfortunately, these Japanese soldiers became living targets for Wu soldiers. The elite Wu soldiers who could also load bullets were shot calmly, and knocked down the Japanese soldiers who charged forward like a name. Almost no Japanese soldier could rush into the thirty meters in front of the Wu army, let alone fighting with the Wu army.

The 1,000 Japanese troops who launched the attack from behind were even worse. Under the joint attack of two elite Wu troops battalions, these Japanese soldiers holding guns in front were purely a group of lambs to be slaughtered. They were also dizzy by the Wu army's grenade launcher, with heavy casualties, and then they were beaten to scream and fell to the ground, and then quickly collapsed and fled everywhere.

"I fell into a trap! The Qing people deliberately showed weakness to tempt me to invest a large number of troops! I never thought that the elite soldiers of the Qing people would be so powerful!"

Okubo Litong's face was gray and it was too late to find that the timing was too late. More than 2,000 troops on the front line had been completely collapsed by the fierce firepower of the Wu army. There were countless generals and soldiers who died in the battle. The rest of the fight was the first to escape back to their original formation. Even the military and legal team could not stop them from losing and fleeing. Under helplessness, Okubo Litong could only wave his hand in despair and shouted in a hoarse voice that was not as hoarse as a human voice: "Retreat!"

The retreat signal was issued, and the collapsed Japanese soldiers fled naturally faster. Only the 500 people around Okubo Ritsu remained in line. While protecting Okubo Ritsu slowly retreated, they were forced to take on the task of the rear palace. As a result, Huang Yuanbao, who had not yet been killed, was of course furious when he saw it. He immediately activated the two battalions in the rear to launch a pursuit and shouted: "Catch up and kill the rear army of the Japanese pirates for me! I see it and try to kill the Japanese pirates' leader for me!"

…………

Kagoshima Castle, Nishima Nakachi.

"Bageyalu! Damn Qing people! Damn bastard!"

Howling like a beast, Kagoshima City's defender, Kukai Shimazu, was covered in blood, as if he was crazy. He held the samurai sword that had cut out the gap in his hands and quickly flanked the enemy's flaws. Chen Yucheng, who was personally fighting against Kukai Shimazu, was also covered in blood. He held a bayonet and looked vigilantly at the enemy who had already chopped down several Wu soldiers with his own hands, and his footsteps were also moving quickly.

"Bageya Road!"

Once again, he howled wildly, Shimazu Kukai suddenly stepped forward and slashed out, slashing hard at Chen Yucheng's left lower abdomen. The knife was heavy and as fast as the wind. However, Shimazu Kukai moved quickly, and Chen Yucheng, who was facing his enemy, moved faster. As his hands quickly sink, the gun body almost blocked the blade of the samurai sword in the flash. The sword and gun collided, splashing sparks.

It was said that it was quick, and as soon as the sword and gun collided, Shimazu Kukai suddenly let go of his hands and let his samurai sword be bounced into the air. His right hand quickly penetrated his waist, pulled out the small sword that was inserted obliquely between his waist, and stabbed it under Chen Yucheng's ribs, making it faster and making it more vicious. However, just as the small sword was about to touch Chen Yucheng's lower abdomen, a big hand like an iron clamp suddenly grabbed Shimazu Kukai's right hand and forced the small sword back for a century. Shimazu Kukai looked up in surprise, but was extremely surprised to see that the person holding his right hand was Chen Yucheng who seemed to have exposed a fatal flaw just now.

"Dog bastard, if I hadn't crawled out of the dead countless times, I would have been really humbled by you!"

With a grin, he said Chinese words that Shimazu Kukai could not understand. Chen Yucheng suddenly used all his strength and grabbed Shimazu Kukai's right hand and swung it with all his strength. He threw Shimazu Kukai heavily to the ground with a shoulder. He quickly fucked the rifle equipped with a bayonet. He clasped his hands tightly and inserted it heavily into Shimazu Kukai's chest, and shouted: "Japanese dog! Death!"

The dirty blood gushed over Chen Yucheng's already blood-stained face, making Chen Yucheng's handsome face even more ferocious and terrifying. Beside Chen Yucheng's side, the Wu army had poked and picked the remaining Japanese warriors, leaving only half of their breath and dying. - The Japanese army attaches great importance to melee training, and the intensity of the training is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary troops. However, compared with the soldiers under Chen Yucheng who had been fighting for the rest of his life, the Satsuma samurai trained against wooden dummies not only lacked practical experience, but also lacked the spirit of life or death.

In that day, the Wu army defeated the Japanese army at the same time on two battlefields inside and outside the city of Kagoshima City, killed the Japanese Kagoshima Guard Shimazu Kukai, and injured the important retainer of the Japanese Satsuma family in the pursuit battle. Not to mention the beheading of more than 2,000 on the two battlefields, Wang Fu, commander of the Wu army's expeditionary fleet, followed Wu Chaoyue's secret order and executed all the prisoners of the defenders in Kagoshima City on the spot in the name of respecting Japanese customs and habits!

This was a habit in Japan's Warring States Period. In order to retaliate against the enemy, after the city was broken, the victors would usually execute all the enemy soldiers who participated in the battle to defend the city. Because of the story of the famous beauty of the Warring States Period in Japan, Wu Chaoyue happened to know this custom, so he told his accomplices and lackeys to respect this custom in Japan.
