War is a treacherous way!

Just as Matsupi Nobuzhe and the famous vassal lords led 20,000 troops to advance in depth, the Qing generals such as Kong Youde sent fast horses to the Qing court in the east to ask for help.

Dozens of large ships sailed away from Xiaguan Pier under the escort of cruisers. In order to end the attack on Jiannu as soon as possible, Liangshan personally led 20,000 troops to set off from Xiaguan and head towards Shi Jian.

Three days later, the fleet sailed through the Tsushima Strait and arrived in the southern part of the North Sea, which was named the Sea of ​​Whale.

Liangshan did not directly attack Ishimichi Castle, but instead chose the landing site at Ishimichi Ginshan, one hundred miles away from Ishimichi Castle.

Since the discovery of Shimiya Kanya Shoushi in Kyushu in 1526, Ishimiya Ginshan has been mined for about 400 years. It not only produces silver, but also copper bars and lead ingots. In the era of the Great Discovery in the 16th century, Ishimiya Ginshan was the only Japanese silver mine known to the world. The Asian maps and Japanese maps made in Europe are marked with the words "Silver Mining Kingdom" near Ishimiya Ginshan. Moreover, because the silver produced in Ishimiya Ginshan is extremely purity and has a high credit in East Asian transactions. Because Ishimiya Ginshan is located in Samo Village, the silver produced in this place is called Samo Silver.

Of course, Liangshan chose Shijian Yinshan not just for the sake of the silver here, but also a more important reason is that it has a port with well-equipped facilities.

Although Datian Port is not big, its facilities are intact. After it is captured, it can become its logistics support base and a temporary anchorage for the navy. Fighting war is to fight logistics, and Liangshan will never dare to take it lightly.

Moreover, Jiannu had been guarding against the Ming army's attack, gathering heavy troops near Shijian City and setting up many forts. The resistance to directly attack Shijian City was too great. In order to seek stability, he chose Shijian Yinshan.

There are ports and silver here, and there is no better goal than this.

If you want to seize Shijian Yinshan, you must seize Shijianshan Fortress, which is the Shijian sea and land gateway. Once you occupy the fortress, you can drive straight in and seize Shijian Fortress.

Ishimi Fort Castle is ten miles northwest of Yinshanzha, and is built on the top of Ryuyan Mountain, which is 153 meters above sea level. In history, during the Warring States Period in Japan, there were many wars for the dominance of Yinshan. During the Tokugawa Shogunate era, Ishimi Castle was destroyed by the shogunate. After Kennu seized Ishimi, because he was close to the Whale Sea (Sea of ​​Japan), he rebuilt the city for defense of invading enemies at sea. Since his establishment, it has been an important military base for Kennu in this area...

Shijian Fort is a land-sea defense fort, which can resist attacks that may come from land and attacks from the sea. Because Liaodong was stabbed by the Ming Dynasty from the sea, Jiannu, who was wise and learned from his mistakes, attached great importance to sea defense. After fleeing to Japan, he always focused on preventing sea attacks, so a large number of large-caliber artillery were arranged on the fort.

Shijian Fort is located on the top of the mountain, and there are several meters of chest walls along the mountain. There are dense fortresses on the chest wall. The entire fortress is completely built against the mountain, making it an independent military fortress. Although the fortress seems solid, the fortress usually only has one thousand troops, because the fortress only has thirty-two cannons, and one thousand troops is enough, and there is no need for so many people at all.

However, after learning that the "Crown Prince of the Responsible Kingdom" had seized the Seizure, he quickly strengthened the defense of the coastal artillery. He mobilized two thousand troops from the inland and deployed them to the Shijian artillery artillery for defense.

However, this is the case with the Ming army. After all, in anyone's opinion, the Ming army should not attack Shi Jian, especially after they had suddenly seized Xiaguan, it was even more impossible to take the risk to kill Shi Jian.

It is also for this reason that the Chinese region in northern Xiaguan is the focus of Jiannu’s defense.

Even the defenders of Ishimi Fortress thought so.

In May, the sea of ​​whale is still a little cold when the sea breeze blows. Although it is sunny, it still looks a little bleak.

In the camp of Ishimi Fort, there are various smells, such as the smell of smoke, smell of urine, tobacco, and the strong smell of wine.

For the defenders of the fort, perhaps because they are far away from the battlefield, or because they can drink cheap "Nanyang wine" here - this "sugar wine" produced in Nanyang is a distilled liquor produced using discarded sugar cane molasses as raw materials. It is actually the so-called rum wine. The "sugar wine industry" that emerged with the development of the sugar industry in the South China colonies has spread to all places because of its extremely low cost. In Ishimi, this cheap spirit liquor has always been popular among Ishimi miners.

As for the fort, the ability to get these spirits is entirely due to the geographical advantage - the fort is on guarding the checkpoints, and when wine merchants deliver wine to the mine, they inevitably have to pay a few barrels of spirits.

The wine is very strong and it costs no money, so for the fort guards, wine is like tea, and they have long been used to this kind of "full wine and full meals".

Most of the soldiers guarding the fort were "Japanese camp soldiers", and they would "drink two drinks" every day. As the saying goes, "Wine and Sex" are not separated. When enjoying free spirits, these people would also bring in some women. As the soldiers laughed, occasionally, women would cry in some rooms.

Listening to the crying, I don’t know where the group of women were brought from. They must have been snatched from nearby villages, and there is actually no question of snatching. After all, in Japan, the "samurai" have privileges. Even in the Dongqing Dynasty, these "Japanese soldiers" did not prevent them from exerting their privileges - forcing the robbery of the civilian women. That doesn’t exist. The farmer’s wife or daughter can sleep with the samurai master, which is her "blessing". In one of the rooms, the soldiers in disheveled clothes pounced on the woman and squirmed, while the Japanese soldiers around were drinking wine and laughing with their eyes shining.

As for the woman, she cried and resisted, but her throat made exciting screams from time to time.

"Baga! What are you doing?"

When the loud shout came, an officer in his fifties came over.

The soldiers laughing immediately stood at attention.

"Qian, Lord Qian..."

The untidy soldier hurriedly stood up from the woman and gave a bare greeting.

"I've seen Mr. Qian!"

"asshole!"

The visitor scolded him and slapped the guy hard.

The person who came was Chichiji Yairao, the Fortress. He was born as a ronin. He has been a leader for more than ten years for a meal and has been a leader all the way. In fact, he also knew the situation in the Fortress. In the past, he turned a blind eye.

Yasuda Ichiro snorted coldly, looking at the woman who was naked and timidly snuggling on the wall, protecting her body with rags.

Yasuda Ichiro glanced at the soldiers around him and frowned:

"Give her a few pots of wine, whoever snatches her would send her back, and the others will continue to stay at their posts!"

The soldiers around him did not find any surprises about this result. A few pots of wine were the value of this woman. Even if it weren’t for the appearance of Yakuda, this woman would not even be able to get these pots of wine.

After the woman left with great gratitude, Ichiro Yasuda looked at the soldiers and shouted:

"Why don't you go quickly! When is this now? Could it be that you will not realize your nervousness until the Ming army's shells landed on your head?"

"Hi! Hi!"

After nodding and bowing, these Japanese soldiers returned to their respective posts in a row.

Suddenly, a harsh beep came through the air, and a shell exploded directly on the turret. In the violent explosion, a broken leg cut by shrapnel flew over and landed beside Ichiro Yasuda and others. At least for a moment, all the soldiers were there, seemingly not sure about all this.

After a moment, all the soldiers turned their eyes to Yayao Ichiro, and they all had an idea in their heads: Is the garrison's mouth really a crow's mouth! It's effective!

It’s just that good is not effective, bad is powerless.

However, the next moment, more shells roared and the violent explosion immediately swallowed up the entire turret.

Amid the explosion, the hysterical howls of Japanese soldiers sounded:
Chapter completed!
