Moreover, after losing a large number of soldiers, the defense of the entire castle tower was already stretched. Shimazu Yoshihiro even had to give up the defense of the last wall and shrink the remaining manpower into the castle tower. And he also understood that in the artillery,
Under the bombardment, it is only a matter of time before Tsurunomaru falls!
At this time, there was a cheerful atmosphere halfway up the mountain. The two of them and Guo Zhankui had arrived. They praised Huang Guojun and gave him all the tasks of besieging the castle tower. They just wanted to see Huang Guojun.
Can you still bring a little surprise to everyone?
But what is regrettable is that Huang Guojun also said that after the Japanese were fooled once, they would not be fooled again, and the rest could only be attacked step by step.
Although Guo Zhankui and Liu Ren were a little disappointed, they also knew that what he said was the truth, so they told him to let him go and let him do what he did.
Next, Huang Guojun did not disappoint them. After he mobilized artillery to knock down the city wall, he continued to mobilize artillery to bombard the castle tower. At the same time, he ordered the fire cannon soldiers to shoot at the opponent. He completely suppressed the opponent's shooting with his numerical advantage and completely surrounded him.
The castle tower.
Afterwards, Huang Guojun arranged for people to persuade him to surrender while organizing the attack. Unsurprisingly, he was rejected. So the battle started again.
The battle was boring and quite conventional. They used artillery to blast open the main gate of the castle tower, then used firecrackers to suppress the opponent's iron cannon ashigaru and archery corps, and then the firecrackers with bayonets swarmed in from the main entrance.
, relying on the number of people to clean rooms one by one.
After carefully observing the battle, Liu Haojia discussed with Guo Zhankui and Liu Ren and confirmed one thing, that is, it is indeed necessary to add sword and shield soldiers.
Not to mention anything else, the Japanese building itself is not tall, and the castle tower is already a relatively spacious place. However, the gun with a bayonet still cannot move well! It is especially difficult to defend against attacks from the flanks.
So the three people decided on the charter after a brief discussion.
After the battle, statistics were made, and Liu Haojia also lamented that these Japanese were dead-headed! All the defenders in the castle tower were killed, and no one surrendered! Shimazu Yoshihiro committed seppuku on the top floor of the castle tower, and the samurai who helped him intervene
Then he died under random gunfire! Even Shimazu Yoshihisa's wives and concubines all committed suicide!
Fortunately for Liu Haojia, the soldiers attacked quickly and cleared the basement first, preventing the Japanese from using the kerosene used for self-immolation in the basement. Several other small fires were also quickly extinguished by the soldiers, causing no harm.
What a huge loss. In the end, the real prisoners were all the maids and servants of the Shimazu family.
After listening to the report, Liu Haojia stood on the platform on the second floor of the castle tower and looked down at the plains and cities below, looking quite high-spirited!
Dayuan failed to land successfully back then, but he did it himself! If he had an army of 100,000 and used it as a base, he might really be able to pacify the Japanese country.
Liu Haojia sighed and turned around. Behind him were already crowded with beaming officers and pirate leaders. He opened and closed the military equipment that had captured Shimazu Yoshihiro, and then said with a smile: "What are you looking at me for?"
Go ahead and go! Remember, you only have one day, and you must leave after the search is completed! Otherwise, Shimazu Yoshihisa will gather an army to fight back!"
At this time, Liu Guangting glanced at the pirate leaders behind him and saw the expectation in their eyes, so he stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, we are just businessmen and common people here..."
Liu Haojia said: "We conquered this place, and everything above it belongs to us. You can do whatever you want with it!"
The pirate leaders behind Liu Guangting all looked happy when they heard this! A pirate leader came forward and said: "Master Hou, what if there is resistance?"
Liu Haojia knew that he was not asking about the suppression, so he said without hesitation: "Kill the whole family!"
The pirates cheered loudly when they heard this and were about to go down immediately. Upon seeing this, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Stop first!"
The pirates were stunned for a moment, and immediately stood still. Liu Guangting said, "Do you have any other instructions from the Marquis?"
Liu Haojia said: "You will inevitably cause some trouble when you go to rob. First drive everyone between the two walls of the castle tower, and then you send people to guard it. This way no one will resist when you go to move things. Also
, you are not allowed to interfere with all the treasury offices of the Shimadzu family, especially those involving armaments, and the Wu Yasu Army will be responsible for handling them."
The pirates nodded in agreement after hearing this. Seeing that they couldn't wait any longer, Liu Haojia waved for them to leave. Then he explained to the officers again and sent them out. This robbery of Kagoshima was considered official.
here we go!
In order to appreciate his masterpiece, Liu Haojia specially asked someone to move a chair and place it on the platform on the second floor of the castle tower. Then he made some tea and watched with pleasure the people below in action.
At this moment, he saw Li Wenliang and Zhang Zhiyong appearing downstairs, and immediately arranged for his servants to let them in to fight. The two of them rushed to report, and without asking, they knew that the Shimadzu navy had been repulsed.
The two men came upstairs to report on the war. Just as Liu Haojia had guessed, when the war started on land, the Shimadzu family's remaining naval forces attacked from the left and right sides, and were intercepted by the two of them and killed.
!
Although the Japanese are very brave in fighting, a battle overseas has broken their backbone, and they are already three times timid even before the battle! Especially the cruiser is very powerful, so the Japanese just see the cruiser raising its sail and rushing towards it.
Two points more timid!
Under such circumstances, they could not even use half of their combat skills. Therefore, after losing many ships in the battle, they had to retreat. However, Li Wenliang and the two were not willing to let it go, so they repeated their old tricks and sent out cruisers to attack fiercely.
The masts and sails of the opponent's ships will reduce their speed, making it easy to siege!
In particular, Zhang Zhiyong commanded his own ship, rushing past the side of the Japanese ship in an almost collision, breaking all the oars on one side of the Japanese warship! The warship missing one side of the oar was just on the sea.
It spun around, and then the navy soldiers boarded the ship and fought to recapture it!
After a fight, the two men each sank and burned more than ten ships of the other side. Li Wenliang captured four Japanese ships, while Zhang Zhiyong captured seven of the other side's ships! At this point, all the Shimazu family's Anzha ships were burned. As the backbone of the Japanese force,
There are only a few ships left, so they are all gone!
With Liu Haojia here, the Shimadzu family's naval forces are unlikely to be able to restore their original structure! Especially since their territory has been looted by Liu Haojia, they can't help but laugh at how they can defend their hometown from being attacked by others.
