Shimazu Tadahashi didn't mind the failure of the war very much. Anyway, the Higo Country was not his inherent territory. Wasn't he just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits by sending troops this time? He relied on the more than 10,000 dwarf mules to successfully lead
The fact that his 1.2 million troops escaped from under the eyes of the enemy and returned to the heavily fortified Tsurumaru Castle two days in advance should be recorded in the annals of history! As long as the few soldiers can be defeated by a strong castle,
The Ming army was blocked. If we have a good talk with the Eight Thunder Gods, maybe the losses on the battlefield can be recovered from the negotiation table. As for the unlucky son, just treat it as a pet given to others!
"Haga!" Tsurumaru Castle, known as the political center of Minami Kyushu, was surrounded by soldiers from the Satsuma domain who had retreated. A large number of ashigaru were busy rearranging defensive positions amidst the orders of the samurai. When they arrived at the city wall
This was the eighth time that angry roars were heard, but the busy cannon fodder knew that it was not dissatisfaction with his work and did not pay attention.
Just two hours ago, Shimazu Tadahashi, who was inspecting the city wall, suddenly learned that the reinforcements sent by the Marugame clan had arrived. He was so happy that he did not bother to put on any pretense and immediately received the envoy. From this point on, he knelt in front of him and cried.
In the mouth of the unlucky man, Shimazu Tadahashi received news that he could not accept. This was the so-called reinforcement! Although the main purpose of the powerful Shimazu Tadahashi in seeking help from Shikoku was just to hope that others would express their opinions and let others express their opinions.
The Ming Dynasty knew that although Japan was in chaos, there were still people forming gangs. When enemies came to rob, he was not alone in seeking death! He didn't care much about how many troops his allies could send, but here he was.
Isn't it too concise?
Forget it, just a little less! Anyway, these days the various big names on the Japanese island are fighting each other. Anyway, this time many heroes on the Shikoku Island sent representatives to collectively express their support for the Shimazu family and provided
Mental assistance! At least it's better than him standing by and letting the Ming army bully the Zheng family pirates hiding in Hizen country, waiting for a piece of the pie! But this guy didn't let the sea breeze blow his head when he crossed the sea? He actually asked Satsuma
Fan sent troops to help them clean up the Mongolian cavalry regiment that had landed in Shikoku? Isn't this funny? If he had the ability to save others, he would ruthlessly use scorched-earth tactics to abandon his beloved son and run home to hide him?
"Ship...fleet! Lord! We found a fleet coming towards us! Those battleships are very strange. Very, very qgu!" A samurai from the flag who was responsible for observing the sea to welcome his own fleet rushed over and shouted incoherently to the current one.
Reported by Tadashi Shimazu.[
"Baga! Again, is there something we haven't seen before? Oh...my Amaterasu..." Shimazu Tadahashi angrily kicked the rare and strange hapless samurai eight feet away. When he turned around, he realized that just now
The busy people, including the crying messenger, all stared at the sea in horror with their eyes wide open.
Shimazu Tadahashi immediately followed their gazes and looked into the distance. He saw three men who were full of death and were exuding monsters, led by a battleship that was huge and might even exceed the entire Tsurumaru Castle like a fortress.
The figures of strange light are gradually revealing their ferocious faces! This...how is this QGU? It is simply a monster! It comes from the sea, and it will definitely not help you monster!
The navy of the Ming Dynasty is coming! When Zheng Hongkui, who was cruising on the sea, learned that Lu Shanji had successfully surrounded Nagasaki City, he made the same choice as Zou Weilian, to steal the army's job! Whether it was Zhang Polu back then.
The current General Zhenguo has no need to discuss it! Who said that damn fat man himself, after finishing the Zheng family pirates and the Satsuma navy within two months, he can move around freely before returning to the south? Since there is an order in advance, then
He took advantage of the fact that there were still nearly a thousand mines in Nagasaki Port that had not been cleared and left two fish boats to continue the siege. He secretly encouraged the Japanese transport fleet that had completed its mission to go around from the direction of Shikoku and destroy more than a hundred of the opponent's ships.
If a broken sampan rushing back in a hurry appears here, it is not considered a violation.
As for the transport fleet following the navy, no one has anything to worry about. Anyway, they are civilian ships that provide free assistance. General Zhenguo has no right to interfere with their free movement after completing their mission, and occasionally get lost.
What kind of illegal act is being committed by following the navy to familiarize yourself with sea conditions and lay the foundation for the future?
"Baga! Why are you still waiting? Ring the bell as a warning!" Shimazu Tadahashi has been through a lot and his reaction is quite quick. He kicked the samurai next to him hard and loudly encouraged the morale of his subordinates.
Said: "Samurai! Now is the time to embody the spirit of Satsuma! We are several miles away from the seaside, and the enemy's warships are not long enough. They have no way to pose a threat to us! Enter the position. Let the arrogant Ming Guoshui
The teacher cannot set foot on our sacred territory!"
"When... when... when..."
The urgent battle bell rang, not to mention the small Tsurumaru Castle, it could be heard clearly even a hundred miles away.
"Have you been discovered?" Zhu Youcong, who was directing his soldiers to check weapons and ammunition in preparation for a sneak attack on Tsurumaru City, looked confused. Shi Guoxiang of the reconnaissance camp was not lazy. Haven't all the Japanese pirate spies nearby been found and dealt with?
What? Could it be that the Japanese pirates' character broke out and they acquired more advanced telescopes? But even then, their eyes would not turn around!
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Of course, the warships of the Ming Navy are not very long. The transport fleet following the warships is composed of ordinary merchants without any combat experience. Although those guys have done some bad things like guest pirates, after all, they have never seen anything.
It was a bloody scene. So Zheng Hongkui had no intention of landing at all. He just wanted to imitate Zou Weilian and bombard Tsurumaru Castle.
"Navy?" Zhu Youcong heard it clearly now. In this era, only his own cannon could make such a familiar and loud sound. He rolled and climbed up a hillside, and he saw flaming snakes jumping.
Speeding away from the sea towards Tsurumaru Castle with a strange dance.
"Zheng Hongkui! You pirate, I'm not done with you anymore..." The bandit leader Zhang Tianlin became anxious, spitting and cursing in the most vicious language he could think of! What was the reason for them traveling day and night?
?Aren’t you just hoping to have a good fight with General Zhenguo, and pick up some Japanese pirate heads on the battlefield to sell them for money? In the end, the navy took the lead. Is there any sense in this world?
"General! Look at this..." Tao Qianzhi cried. He had just written an IOU for five thousand taels of silver! He originally expected to board an armed tricycle with the Nanshan people for a round of cleaning, but now that the navy has arrived
What else happened to him?
"What are you looking at? Let the soldiers seize the time to check and prepare to enter the battlefield!" Zhu Youcong now deeply understood the pain of shooting himself in the foot, even though he had already received information about the transport fleet heading south privately to join the navy halfway.
, but he really didn’t expect that the Satsuma clan’s fleet would be so invulnerable.
"Send a signal to the rear team! Let them set off immediately!" Zhu Youcong knew very well the virtues of his own navy. Now that Zheng Hongkui is already here, it is impossible to rush them aside to watch the fun. If
Without taking out the thing that has been hidden all this time, it would be a bit troublesome to compete with the navy with just the strength of the forward troops.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
As the three red signals sounded, Ning Meng, who was in charge of commanding the rear team with a grimace, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Stop the entire army and start igniting!"
Light a fire? What is the little fairy doing? She is responsible for following the vanguard to escort the big houses that puzzle the Japanese pirates to enjoy the scenery. Even if she becomes cruel under the influence of the fat man,
It's not like setting fire to it! If this is going to be burned, why not roast her brother Cong into a suckling pig first?
"Eight...eight...eight...Eight Thunder Gods! The Eight Thunder Gods' army is coming!" Seeing the thin horses that suddenly appeared in front of him, a footman escaped from the Sakali battlefield with his life.
The young general screamed wildly and rushed out of the bunker. He ran towards the beach that was being ravaged by the Ming Navy's artillery fire![
"Block them! Send someone to block them!" Shimazu Tadahashi was going crazy. Is there anyone who bullies people like this? He gave up such a large piece of territory, but instead of being grateful, the enemy launched a more violent attack.
?Fortunately, he has deployed a million troops outside the city. It will not be so easy for the enemy to rush over this time!
"Father...Father! Then...what is that?" Shimazu Tadahiro, who was deeply favored by Shimazu Tadahiro and dared to take off the clothes of slaves in the mansion in broad daylight at a young age to show his power, suddenly pointed to the sky in the distance.
cried out.
/
"Baga! You bastard...ah! My Amaterasu...that...what is that?" The sterling silver telescope in his hand had fallen to the ground, and he had just slapped his third son hard.
After being slapped, Shimazu Tadahashi's expression became dull and his face turned pale. He stretched out his chicken feet like dead wood with trembling fingers and his body was trembling continuously.
"God...god...god?" The Japanese cavalryman, who was looking for cover everywhere, was so frightened that he fell off his horse, and his pants smelled disgusting!
"God, please forgive my sins! I am willing to follow your guidance..." A religious Ashigaru general could no longer hide his identity. He lay on the ground and kept mumbling.
For a time, millions of Japanese pirates in Tsurumaru City began to imitate their feudal lords and issued various summons. They did not consider whether they would kill themselves first if so many gods from the East and the West came over at the same time.
Fight. Maybe the Japanese pirates should get to know each other and find another partner. Ask the Ming Dynasty scholar to seek help from their chosen ancestor Wu Dalang. At least he can bake two sesame seed cakes for them to eat and not starve to death.
What on earth brought such great panic to Tsurumaru Castle that the Japanese pirates outside the city ignored the powerful artillery fire of the navy and the bullets fired wildly from the armed tricycles, and actually forgot to avoid hiding and were slaughtered?
Isn’t it all Zhu Youcong’s fault? Ever since this fat and unattractive man encouraged Chongzhen to designate the Japanese island as a weapons testing site, he has brought over Ming Dynasty’s existing equipment one after another.
Mines, machine guns... anything that can kill people can be seen here. And this thing that appears now, seriously speaking, it is not really a new invention. If Dorgon were here, he would definitely tell the Japanese pirates about it.
Call it an airship!
Airship? Isn't that what Zhu Youcong asked Luo Jacob to use to fool the Tatars? Why was it moved to the Japanese island again? Isn't this little fat man afraid of repeating the same mistake and being fooled by Huang Taiji who was dancing in a colorful skirt in the capital?
So angry that he vomited blood? This... The Tatars were unlucky with the hot air balloon. That was because the Ming Dynasty army had a professional air defense brigade. Now that the spear and shield were in Zhu Youcong's hands, he was still afraid that the Japanese pirates would use bamboo poles to kill him.
Poke it down? Moreover, these new airships were redesigned and manufactured by the research institute. Not only are the fuel used in the airbags safer, they are also distilled gasoline, and a propeller is specially installed at the end of the cabin to ensure that they are safe during flight.
Its speed and maneuverability. The reason why Zhu Youcong didn't show it off at the beginning was because the fuel used by this thing is very expensive now, and he was more afraid of scaring away the enemy?
The reason why Zhu Youcong handed over the command of this air force to his wife is also very simple. Ningmeng has learned so much from Zou Weilian, so since she can't be prevented from going to the battlefield, he should give her something new to do. Anyway, this is
The jealous man is so bold that he dares to try anything. More importantly, although the things dropped from the sky are not good things, at least the little fairy's purity will not be tarnished by the Japanese pirates!
As for the fact that the navy's tactics are not suitable for the newly born air force, what does it mean? Since it is the newest branch of the military, it must be trained slowly. When entering actual combat without any wexe power, you only need to ensure that this thing does not fall by itself.
, and thus finding the most suitable specific tactics is the most practical way. After all, the battlefield is the best training ground. A troop that has not been tested in actual combat, no matter how advanced the equipment and high morale, can only be regarded as a sheep in wolf's clothing.
!
What Zhu Youcong himself didn't expect was that it was precisely because Shimazu Tadahashi would make consecutive decision-making mistakes and the Satsuma clan's fleet was so unsatisfactory that he let the Ming Dynasty's navy come over, which made him hide in the deep sea.
The dream in my heart became a reality ahead of schedule.
Although the equipment used by the Ming army is still very primitive, and the three major military services still fight independently and lack close cooperation, the significance of this battle is not limited to elimination.
Getting rid of the main force of Japanese pirates on Jiuzhou Island will become a turning point in changing the way of future combat. From this day on, more Ming troops will be transferred to Japanese islands to thoroughly clean up the land that has been contaminated by Japanese pirates and conduct drills at the same time.
New tactics.
Of course, this kind of extravagant style of play was only used by Ming Dynasty for a long time, and others couldn’t afford it even if they wanted to learn it! Regardless of whether it is an enemy or a friend who wants to imitate others, he must first be led by the general Zhenguo Hulang.
The teacher was so beaten that I couldn’t find any excuses! Is it okay to protect intellectual property rights?
"Surrender! Send people out of the city to surrender!" Shimazu Tadahashi's expression was cute, but his actions were very shameless. He completely failed Zhu Youcong's good intentions. He didn't even want to appreciate the shock brought by this new method of warfare.
, and even voluntarily gave up the good opportunity to share in the annals of history, and just lay in a hole in a hole and screamed like a chicken and a cat. ()
