Wang Shouren stood on the deck, dozens of large ships of firearms, covering the port of Satsuma.

Seeing that the number of people far exceeded expectations, the Satsuma soldiers abandoned their troops and fled in all directions.

The dense ships made the soldiers panic.

Coco Dong led his troops to the port and fought hard.

Two hours later, the port was occupied.

Xu Dong looked at Wang Shouren: "It's easy to get ashore, but the place where the Satsuma country has the strongest military strength is the royal city, and Lord Wang knows why he went north to rob your big ship?" ”

Wang Shouren shook his head, also feeling strange.

"The Satsuma country ceded the land, gave the fat country and the island country daimyo Asano Kiyomasa, borrowed 20,000 soldiers, and was bound to kill you." Xu Dong sold his favor at the right time.

After the capture of the port, the Ryukyus had only more than 1,000 troops left, while the Satsuma Kingdom had more than 20,000 troops.

No matter how skillful you are, you can't turn things around.

Coco Dong cast a sincere gaze at Xu Dong and wanted to ask him to stay and raise troops to resist.

Xu Dong took the lead and said: "These five big ships have been taken away under Xia, and I hope that Lord Wang will show mercy to his subordinates in the future." ”

The sailors boarded the big ships, and the five big ships of the Ryukyus, along with the pirate fleet, disappeared into the sea.

Of course, Coco Dong was distressed, but if he could capture the Satsuma Kingdom, this loss would be nothing.

But if the army is defeated, the Ryukyus will not be able to recover after 50 years of recuperation.

"Lord Wang, what should I do next?"

The ship is gone, and it is only a matter of time before Shimazu Tadamasa sends a large army to encircle and suppress it.

Liu Jin led the army north, and it would take more than ten days at the earliest.

What Coco Dong was most worried about was that Shimazu Tadamasa's army was heading south.

The Satsuma Peninsula is not large, and a march of 1,000 people will inevitably leave traces, and it is extremely difficult to hide.

Wang Shouren pondered for a moment: "The key to this battle is to get the map of Satsuma and the location of the enemy's army. ”

Knowing the topography of the island can arrange troops.

The map given to him by the Ryukyus is only the territory of Satsuma Province, and there are no mountains and rivers.

Dong Wen's face was embarrassed: "The location of the enemy army is easy to explore, and it is difficult to get a map." ”

The map is only available to the royal family, so how can it be handed over to them?

Wang Shouren's face was contemplative.

If the shore pass is lost, it will be transmitted to the royal castle in one day, and the war is imminent, and the map of Satsuma must be obtained within three days.

After a long time, he said: "All the silver and copper coins on all the soldiers will be collected and sent to this officer." ”

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts if you search like this?" Coco Dong was puzzled.

This Wang Shouren naturally took into account, and when Dong Wen set up, when the day triumphed, the Ryukyus were returned twice.

There was not much silver left in the Ryukyus, and when he heard that Wang Shouren wanted to spend it like this, he was distressed and wanted to die.

I don't know what to do, Coco Dong still gives the order,

Soon, the silver and copper coins collected amounted to more than 5,000 taels of silver.

"Choose twenty guards, two hundred and fifty taels each, scatter them to the border of the Ryukyus, find the people to draw the terrain near where they live, and give two coins of silver, and within two days, return to the camp to report!"

Together, it is a complete map of Satsuma country.

What the people drew will be more accurate than the map surveyed by the imperial court.

Coco Dong's eyes lit up, but he went all the way north and learned too many tactics in the art of war.

Wang Shouren was faintly worried, it was October, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

Gao Feng asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

"I'm afraid of snow, there will be snow within ten days, if it snows, I can't break through the royal city, I'm afraid that I will return with a feather."

The climate in Hainan is very different from this place.

The Li people have lived on the hot island for many years, and they can't adapt to this place.

The 50,000 troops were more than the 20,000 troops of Satsuma.

But according to Wang Shouren's guess, the Li people did not have armor and weapons.

Gao Feng snatched a thick cotton shirt from the military camp of Satsuma Kingdom: "My lord, the weather is cold, you can wear one more." ”

"To Lord Dong."

Gao Feng handed over his underwear extremely reluctantly.

Wang Shouren waited for news in the barracks.

Two days later, the spies returned to the camp one after another.

On the weapon rack of the big tent, there is a piece of rice paper, and Wang Shouren pieced together all the fragmented terrain to draw a map.

At this time, Dong Cohen hurriedly walked in: "My lord, Asano Kiyomasa led the army south, and it has reached the Qingkou River, and the number of troops is 10,000 more than Xu Dong said. ”

Gao Feng jumped up from his chair and looked at Yutu.

The Qingkou River is only seven miles away from here, and it can be reached in half an hour.

"Thirty thousand? My lord, flee, the Li people will go north and attack the city again. ”

Coco Dong was a little unbearable: "Lord Wang, I will escape, the two thousand soldiers of the Ryukyus ......"

Bringing the wounded with you will delay the pace of the march.

Coco Dong naturally hoped that he could bring them all back to Ryukyu.

At this moment, the spies rushed into the camp tent and reported in a panic: "My lord, there is also an enemy army in the northern region of Hanshan. ”

Wang Shouren looked up at the map, Hanshan and Qingkou were the two major marching paths to the north, and the enemy army was surrounded.

Even if he really escaped, Coco Dong didn't blame him, after all, he was not a minister of the Ryukyus, so he didn't have to pay for his life for the Ryukyus.

Wang Shouren shook his head: "The shore pass must not be lost again, otherwise General Liu will not be able to land on the shore when he goes north." ”

With the help of Xu Dong's troops, he captured the shore pass, and if it was taken by the army of Satsuma again.

It is conceivable how many Li people will be lost.

"But ......"

Wang Shouren was indifferent: "Wait for Asano Kiyomasa to come." ”

Coco Dong and Gao Feng were stunned, obviously frightened.

Xu Dong is a Ming person, and he can be regarded as a fellow countryman with you, and he can be fooled by you.

But Asano Kiyomasa is an island countryman!

"My lord, think again!"

"Division...... Master, let's run away first, he'll kill us." ”

Wang Shouren shook his head and walked out of the camp.

In less than half an hour, smoke and dust rose from the mountains in the north, and more and more soldiers appeared in sight.

Dressed in Japanese armor, the sharp blades glittered silver in the sunlight.

The two armies confronted each other, separated by five hundred paces.

"Wang Shouren wants to see General Asano!"

Asano Kiyomasa raised his hand to stop the archers from releasing their arrows, they were working for the Satsuma country, and it would be better if they didn't spend a single soldier to win.

I heard that Okubo, who was undefeated in a hundred battles, lost to this person, and was a little curious about Wang Shouren.

Not long after, Wang Shouren came to the camp tent and waved at Asano Qingzheng: "I don't know General Asano, can you understand the next words?" ”

"Say it."

Kiyoshi Asano puts his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Wang Shouren wondered: "Satsuma country ceded land and borrowed troops from the general, this is the next policy, why didn't the general take the opportunity to invade more territory of Satsuma country?" ”

The daimyo of Satsuma and the island country have always been at war.

It shows that the daimyo also wanted to annex the Satsuma country, but it was because of the fact that Oku kept the north, so he did not succeed.

"General Ben has already thought about it, it is your turn to teach me, there are 10,000 defenders of Satsuma Royal City, and there are countless firearms." Asano Kiyomasa drew his sword: "I know that the Ming Art of War has a plan called discord. ”

With his 20,000 troops, he was able to capture the royal city.

However, if his strength declines, he will be immediately eaten away by other daimyos, which is why he did not dare to attack the royal castle.

Wang Shouren bowed slightly: "Surrender the army to this officer, and this official will help the general capture the royal city, and the loss will not be more than 500 people." ”
