Chapter 191 The Attack and Defensive Battle in front of the Song Dynasty Part Three
Chapter 191 Matsumae Attack and Defense Battle (3)
"Duang!!" The thick wooden door became shaky under the crazy banging of the Ainu more than a dozen times.
Finally, a "click" came from the door, and the thick door latch could no longer withstand the violent impact. The sea dog looked happy, and he called on his men to continue banging on the door. After the door was broken, he rushed in first, seven or eight of them
Soldiers from the Sachuan tribe also followed him through the gate. A burst of violent gunshots and screams suddenly rang out in To no Maru.
Seeing that the castle gate had been breached, Tuka laughed excitedly. The other Ainu people under the city also cheered and tried to enter the city from the east with all kinds of cold weapons.
Just as these people retreated across the wooden bridge outside the Otemon Gate and were running eastward, the Otemon Gate suddenly opened from the inside, and a group of knights on horseback wearing armor and holding two guns rushed out of the door.
As soon as these warriors crossed the wooden bridge, the Beihai Town soldiers who had been waiting behind the wooden bunker raised their guns and took aim. Following Pan Xiucheng's order, bullets rained down on the group of warriors. Amidst the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, more than a dozen people
The knights on horseback were shot and fell off their horses, and some of them rolled directly into the moat.
The Matsumae Domain troops behind the Otemon Gate saw that the fire from the opposite side was too fierce and hurriedly closed the gate. Dozens of Ainu warriors lying behind the bunker also wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack and seize the gate. Unexpectedly, the dead and injured warriors and horses were on the bridge.
The blockage was so tight that it was impossible to get through. At this time, human blood and horse blood were mixed together, flowing on the wooden bridge, dripping along the gaps in the bridge deck into the moat.
Several Ainu warriors slipped and fell in a pool of blood, and then quickly retreated.
At this time, there were shouts of killing in Tonomaru. The 100 troops sent by Matsumae Domain to support suffered heavy casualties and were retreating towards Ninomaru.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Sato Yukinobu, who was wearing bamboo armor, shouted to his men.
The sea dog, already covered in blood, picked up a wooden spear on the ground, pointed it at Sato Yukinobu, who was directing the retreat, and threw it with all his strength. Sato Yukinobu caught a glimpse of a black shadow coming from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously turned sideways and waved at the same time.
The sword slashed at him. Unexpectedly, another Ainu had already raised his bow and aimed at him. "Bang", the bowstring rang, and a light arrow hit his left arm. When the two ashigaru saw that Sato was injured, they hurriedly helped the other person.
Ninomaru retreated.
The sea dog's eyes were now fierce. He picked up a samurai sword that fell on the ground, waved the sword, and rushed into the second oar with more than a dozen people.
In the evening, Ninomaru was also captured. The Matsumae clan and the shogunate investigation team finally had twenty samurai left, and a dozen ashigaru and civilian husbands, who all retreated to Ninomaru to defend it.
When Deng Fei heard the casualty figures reported by Pan Xiucheng, he thought to himself that the Ainu deserved to be ravaged by the Matsumae clan with their fighting skills. The battle was unorganized, and they rushed in like a swarm of swarms, and saw him on the way.
Just pick up the good stuff. If I hadn't brought more than 200 soldiers to suppress the situation, I don't know what trouble would have occurred.
Seeing that the Matsumae Domain had become a turtle in the urn, the chiefs of each tribe went to Tuka to discuss, saying that they would do this for today, as everyone was tired after fighting for a long time, and they would attack Sannomaru tomorrow.
When Deng Fei heard this, he hurriedly stopped him. He explained to Tuka: "The night is long and the dream is long. We must take the Sannomaru while it is still dark. We have caught the Matsumae clan by surprise. If we wait for them to react,
Come here, the civilians in those castle towns will be our enemies tomorrow! So we must not give up tonight!"
Tuka, who was originally very proud, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after listening to Deng Fei's words. He remembered what Zhao Xin had said to him, that he must take down Songqian City in one go and not give the opponent a chance to breathe. Okay, then keep fighting!
For the Matsumae clan samurai and the shogunate investigation team in Sannomaru, this battle was a real battle. If it weren't for the strange repeating muskets, thousands of Ainu would not be able to attack at all. Now the battle is completed
With this situation, what should we do next? Fight to the death or negotiate peace? So the eyes of the samurai were focused on Matsumoto Jurobei.
Mr. Izumomo's thinking became very clear at this moment. He looked at the people in front of him coldly and said calmly: "Do you know what the full name of Shangzhang is?"
Everyone present was stunned. Isn’t Shang Zhang the general? Wait a minute.
Matsumoto Jurobei didn't wait for anyone to answer. He suddenly shouted loudly: "It's the General Zhengyi! As the ministers of the Lord, can we surrender to the Yiyi people?!"
Everyone present looked furious, stood up and shouted loudly: "Never!"
Jurobe Matsumoto, the Izu Mamoru who was born as an accountant, felt clear-headed at this time. To surrender, for him, his fiefdom would be confiscated, his family would be exiled, and he would be infamy for thousands of years. Even if he died early or later, he would not be able to escape this knife. Instead of doing this, he would
It is better to risk your life and die for your country.
Besides, a caesarean section would be so painful. Of course, he could never say this.
He looked at everyone present and continued to encourage: "Everyone of the Matsumae family, think about your young master in Edo, and you must not let the Matsumae family be stigmatized!"
The samurai present, the ashigaru, the servants in Sannomaru, and the concubines of Michihiro Matsumae who were monks all nodded. The young master of Edo is still there, and the family business is still there. As long as the Matsumae family is not burdened with it
Infamy, even if it is transferred to another land, can continue the bloodline. If people like myself surrender, then the young master of Edo may not be able to save his life.
Besides, the shogunate will definitely send troops to avenge people like themselves!
A warrior from Matsumae Domain knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Izumori, I would like to leave the city while it is dark, contact the common people and martyrs in the city, and attack from both inside and outside. We will definitely be able to repel the Ezo people!"
Jurobe Matsumoto nodded and was about to speak when suddenly a civilian guarding the gate ran over panting.
"Sir! The Ezo people have begun to attack!"
Jurobe Matsumoto drew his katana and shouted: "Everyone pick up your weapons and follow me!"
The final attack begins.
As night fell, thousands of torches were lit outside the main gate of Sannomaru, illuminating the inside and outside of the city as if it were daytime.
At this time, Deng Fei put all the remaining troops on hand into the offensive team. The soldiers in Beihai Town were mainly responsible for dealing with the archers and iron gunners who suddenly appeared on the walls and gate towers.
Hundreds of Ainu held torches in one hand and weapons in the other, waiting on both sides of the gate. More than twenty Ainu held thick wooden beams and kept banging against the gate while chanting.
Inside the city gate, a group of men and women, led by Matsumoto Jurobei, were holding bows, arrows and spears, waiting for the last moment to arrive.
In the temple on the top of the mountain on the other side of the river, the people who had fled here were lying on the wall, looking at the dots of torches in the feudal city, feeling sad. Fukuyama Castle (Matsumae Castle, also known as Fukuyama Castle) is about to end! No one knows what is waiting for them.
What will be the fate of man.
Deng Fei stood in the night, looking at the restless Ainu people in front of him, and suddenly had a strange thought: "What on earth did he come here for?" Everything in front of him was really happening, and he was like a bystander.
There was no excitement or enthusiasm at all. He felt a little bored and had no interest in this war between alien races.
He glanced at Tuka, who was standing among a group of guards, and the other person showed him a friendly smile.
Late that night, the Sannomaru of Matsumae Castle fell. The shogunate appointed Matsumoto Izu Morijurobei, the leader of the assessment team, Soujiro Doyama, and the Matsumae clan samurai all died in the battle. The concubines and servants of the Matsumae family committed suicide, except for a few Ashigaru.
The civilian husband knelt down and surrendered.
Since the Tsugaru Anton clan established their rule on the Toshima Peninsula in 1454, the 330-year rule of the Yamato people in Ezo finally came to an end.
The next morning, the refugees hiding in the temple discovered a tall flagpole erected inside the Matsumae Castle Otemon. On the blood-red flag at the top, a white bear showed its teeth and claws, seeming to swear an oath to this land.
inherent sovereignty.
The two hundred years of peace in the island country have caused the citizens to lose their courage. In order to save their lives and the safety of their families, many people have chosen to obey.
The Ainu who had completed their revenge did not continue to kill civilians. They searched for loot in the castle, and then went to the tavern in the castle town to drink.
At Deng Fei's suggestion, the more than one hundred Ainu warriors who had been trained by Beihai Town, headed by Sea Dog, were divided into two groups. One part served as Tuka's personal bodyguards; the other part patrolled the city under the leadership of Beihai Town soldiers.
Maintain order.
In order to prevent the citizens who were worried about having no food to eat due to the cutoff of sea trade from causing trouble, Deng Fei carried dozens of tons of rice when he set out from Beihai Town. When the grain was put on the market at a reasonable price, the citizens were very worried.
It soon became quiet. After all, in these famine years, it would be great to have cheap food to sell.
However, the few Matsumae clan warriors who were lucky enough to hide outside the city and finally survived incognito were surprised to find that the strange giant ship did not belong to the Red-haired Ezo at all, but belonged to a place that called itself "North Sea Town".
Those who wear colorful short coats and trousers, black leather boots, and carry strange-looking guns on their backs, who patrol the port and the city every day, are the warriors of Beihai Town. These people have the same black color as themselves.
They have yellow hair, yellow skin, and many of them even speak the dialect of the Mutsu area fluently.
However, some middle-class people have noticed that most of the time these people speak a language with a strange accent, and the words they use every day are actually Chinese characters! This is too strange. Who are they?
When they saw that the barbaric Ainu were very polite to the samurai from "North Sea Town" and did not even dare to disobey their orders, they gradually understood in their hearts that these visitors from Beihai Town were the only ones on the Toshima Peninsula.
The real master.
Li Ji decided to change his name and give himself a surname. As the first person to defect to Zhao Xin's family and consider himself to be the number one retainer of Zhao Xin, Li Ji felt that his surname should be Zhao, and he must be surnamed Zhao. But can he
The surname Zhao must also be approved by the owner.
However, the name has not been changed yet, but the concubine has to be delivered to her door. The person who comes to curry favor with her is the owner of a grain store in the city, named Shinshiro Tanitaya.
As a businessman who often travels between Omi and Tsugaru, the owner of Tanitaya keenly discovered Rikichi's unusual identity on the third day after the city was defeated. He seemed to have more than a hundred iron cannon samurai under his command, who could not only speak
He is fluent in the Mutsu dialect and can also speak "Mandarin" with great momentum. He heard this word from the Beihai Town soldiers patrolling the streets.
The owner of Gutianwu took the initiative to purchase a lot of cheap rice from Beihai Town, so he got involved with Liji. He invited Liji to drink at a high-end wine shop outside for the first time, and within two days he invited Liji to his home for a banquet.
Who is Rikichi? Although he was born as a small farmer in Mutsu Hirosaki Domain, he has been with Zhao Xin for the longest time and has seen the most all kinds of new and weird things. Zhao Xin’s big yacht, RV, Thor, and Rikichi are all
I've been there, more than once. So I don't take it seriously when the owner of Tanitaya brings out a few rare things.
No matter how good your stuff is, how can it be as good as my master’s stuff? What a joke!
The owner of Gutianwu wanted to establish a relationship with Beihai Town. When he saw that the material temptation failed, he became heartbroken and called his eldest daughter out to toast Liji.
This girl was sixteen years old and very pretty. She was shy and cute when toasting, which was very endearing. Liji had been away from Beihai Town for several months, and when he saw the beauty, his heart started to itch.
Coupled with the fact that he drank several cups of cat urine, he looked at the girl with strange emotions.
(It is said that polygamy was allowed in the Edo period, as long as you could afford it. The "husband is the wife's guide" in Confucianism was completely inherited by the islanders until modern times. The most obvious example is the shogun's Ooku
, purely for the purpose of continuing the family lineage, the more children, the better.)
In the years since Liji and Zhinao got married, Zhinao's belly has been silent. After Hong Tao and Liu Siqi came, they also checked them. However, because of the lack of laboratory equipment at the time, they did not check after X-ray and ultrasound.
What will happen? The fact that he is over twenty and has no children has always been a knot in Li Ji's heart.
The owner of Tanitaya was such a thief. He saw that Liji was attracted to his daughter. So from then on, he created opportunities for the two of them to meet every now and then. As time went by, Liji had the idea of taking a concubine.
The fire could not be contained, and soon, this matter reached Deng Fei's ears. Well! The foothold in Songqian City is not yet stable, and he actually wants to beg for a wife!
So Deng Fei called Li Ji over and scolded him.
"There are so many people in Beihai Town who don't even have wives yet, yet you are actually eating the food from the bowl and missing the food from the pot! Besides, who is Shinshiro Taniya? Do you know?"
Among the modern people in Beihai Town, Li Ji and the others are most afraid of Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang. Deng Fei usually gives a very friendly impression and is meticulous in his work. Except for the sailors on the ship making mistakes, Deng Fei rarely gets angry.
.
Li Ji said coyly: "I, I haven't agreed yet."
"It doesn't matter if you agree! Zhao Xin must agree to this! There is no need to talk!"
"yes"
Under the old city of Juergen, Shino was busy making lunch in three outdoor cooking trucks lined up in a row. This type of cooking truck was modified using the SINOTRUK 6*6 off-road chassis, which Zhao Xin had just brought recently. Each one
The truck can provide outdoor catering for 300 to 500 people, and can accommodate two chefs cooking together at the same time. In order to facilitate the cooking truck to transport ingredients from Fuldan City and cook on the road, he specially asked the villagers to build a road from Fuldan City.
The dirt road from Erdan City to Jurgen City.
After inspecting the digging of the trenches, Zhao Xin arrived at the cooking cart. When he saw Shino busy in the carriage, he asked in surprise: "Shino, why are you here?"
Shino wiped the water on his hands with his apron, bowed to Zhao Xin and said, "I heard that there are not enough people to cook here, so I came with him."
"You arrived last night, right?" Zhao Xin felt like family to Li Ji and Shino. After all, she and Li Ji were the first people she took in when she first came to this time and space.
"Yes. This journey is really difficult. Fortunately for us women, we all came by boat with the supplies."
"Is it customary to use this cooking cart?"
"Oh, is this called a cooking cart? This is the first time I've seen such a good kitchen. I don't know how to use a lot of things." Shino said with a smile, leaned towards Zhao Xin and whispered: "What's this again?"
Did you bring it here from the fairy world, my lord?"
"Ah?" Zhao Xin was stunned, then laughed, acquiescing.
"Sir, when will my wife come back?" Shino asked shyly.
"Rikichi and the others are in Ezochi. They should be back in a month. Why, do you miss him?"
"To tell you the truth, I haven't seen you for several months and I feel a little panicked."
"Don't worry, your man is very smart. Although he will occasionally fail, it will be nothing serious. I promise."
"With your words, I feel relieved!"
Zhao Xin waved his hand with a smile and turned around to go to the command post in the old city. Liu Sheng was standing at the observation port, leaning against an artillery mirror and directing the soldiers on the plain to the west to mark their positions.
Hearing footsteps, Liu Sheng stood up and saw that it was Zhao Xin, so he asked: "Hey, let me tell you, when are you going to lay out the phone line?"
"In the afternoon, Zhang Bo will lead people to set up signal towers in the afternoon. I will lead people to lay telephone lines."
In order to ensure smooth information communication on the battlefield, in addition to walkie-talkies, Zhao Xin planned to set up telephone lines at the artillery positions and the defensive positions of each company to connect them to the headquarters in the old city of Jurgen. For this purpose, he specially purchased
More than a dozen explosion-proof magnet telephones and a large number of telephone lines.
Liu Sheng nodded and asked: "How many days have it been since the two teams of Serdan and his son set off?"
"It's been twelve days, what?"
"Walking thirty or forty miles a day, it will take more than twenty days just to go back and forth. In addition to investigating the enemy's situation, I'm afraid it will be delayed until the end of June."
The outer northeast is really huge! From Fuldan City to Ninggu Pagoda, it is 700 miles by land and 500 miles by water; from Fuldan City to Hunchun, it is more than 500 miles by land.
Zhao Xin thought for a while and asked, "What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that when the two groups come back, the Qing army will follow behind, and our encirclement and annihilation plan will not be carried out."
"It's useless for us to be anxious about this, just wait patiently.
