On the Satsuma Peninsula, countless flags fluttered, and a vast array of coalition forces pressed towards the sea.

Led by the Qing Dynasty's great general Azig, he led 30,000 Toei Eight Banners and the allied forces of the various feudal domains of the Tokugawa Shogunate to join Yamakawa Port.

The 60,000 Japanese and Qing allied troops joined forces and lined up on the shore of Shanchuan Harbor, their armor was of different colors, and their banners were also different, except for the golden dragon silk of Azig in the middle, surrounded by a piece of various emblems of various feudal families.

The commander of the coalition army was naturally the general of the expedition to the east, Azig, who was the master of Kyushu Island, and more than 30 feudal domains, large and small, such as the Chosu Domain, Saga Domain, Tosa Domain, and Mito Domain, had been forcibly organized into the Eight Banners of Toei by him.

The deputy commander of the coalition was Tokugawa Iemitsu's third brother, Masayuki Hoshina, who commanded the combined forces of the domains on behalf of the Shogun and the shogunate.

At this time, there were more than 200 daimyo lords in Japan, and the daimyo domains close to the shogunate were all in the domains near Edo.

Kyushu Island is the westernmost of the four islands in Japan, and the relationship between the more than 30 feudal lords and the shogunate can be imagined, and it was the shogunate who sat idly by and let the Qing Eight Banners colonize Kyushu Island.

At this time, seeing the three-leaf family coat of arms of the shogunate and the armies of the domains, the bannermen of the Eight Banners of Toei all had cold faces.

Due to the lack of long-range weapons such as artillery, during the previous naval battle, the Japanese-Qing coalition forces could only stare dryly on the shore, watching the Ming army gradually land.

"Who went out to stop the Ming army from landing on the shore!"

Azig shouted in Japanese, he has taken dozens of Japanese concubines over the years, and he has learned Japanese very quickly.

In order to seize the first credit, the daimyo of the Kobe Domain took the lead in bringing some retainers and samurai who were not afraid of death to the seashore with fierce momentum, trying to prevent the Ming army from landing with firearms and bows and arrows, and some soldiers even used spears as javelins, and the result was very tragic.

More than a dozen warships of the Ming Royal Navy were lying across the sea, their sides facing the shore, and they opened fire in a platoon of guns.

The caliber and power of the naval artillery are much larger than the Hongyi cannon of the land battle, and the solid bullet of the 32-pounder cannon, all the way down the god blocks and kills the god, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, there is no ambiguity at all!

The Japanese soldiers who rushed up to block the artillery were blurred by the bombardment, and some people were directly shattered by the shells, and the scene was terrible and very bloody!

After discarding the corpses of hundreds of his subordinates and tons of rotten meat, the lord of the Kobe domain retreated out of the range of the artillery.

The coalition troops who watched the battle were even more shocked, and collectively retreated their legs, and finally left a distance of hundreds of meters on the beach, and they watched with astonishment as the dense Ming army continued to land.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment of losing the first battle, the representative of the Tokugawa shogunate, the deputy marshal of the coalition army, Masayuki Hoshina, smiled awkwardly: "Our men and horses are many times larger than them, and the coalition forces will win this battle!" ”

Azig rolled his eyelids and said lightly: "The loss of the battle is not determined by the number of people. ”

Masayuki Hoshina accompanied the smiling face and did not refute.

The Great Qing Dynasty conquered the eastern general Azig, this guy is very powerful, and he is the emperor of Kyushu Island.

He originally had tens of thousands of horses in his hands, plus in the past few years, he has recruited 10,000 or 20,000 people on Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, and now there are nearly 70,000 people in total.

On the coast, the dragon flag fluttered, and in the sound of the golden drum order, the black and oppressive Ming army was like thunder, and the guns followed the flag layer by layer, and took the initiative to force the coalition army.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, and in the middle is a small plain that is not very flat, where the two sides will face off.

Due to the mountainous terrain in Japan, which was not suitable for artillery play, neither the Ming army nor the coalition army carried heavy artillery.

Shen Shouchong held the telescope and saw the array of the coalition forces clearly.

In his eyes, the various family coats of arms of the coalition army looked good, and the armor of some daimyo and samurai was also dressed in bells and whistles, a little pink of cherry blossoms, which was very cute.

What made Shen Shouchong secretly laugh was that the coalition forces thought that more than 200 steps was a safe distance, but in fact, they were all within the strike range of the Ming army.

Azig also held the binoculars and looked at the array of the Ming army, and he had a strange feeling about these Ming soldiers who were not wearing armor.

In his eyes, the Tianwu Army was fully armed, well-armed, magnificent, and powerful, and the neat and cold iron armor gave people great pressure!

However, now the Ming army opposite him, what bells and whistles are they wearing? Not a single nail leaf?

After carefully observing for a moment, Azig suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "There are only thousands of people, and they dare to take the initiative to attack!" ”

The coalition army had 60,000 troops, while the Ming army that landed was only 8,000 men.

After roughly seeing the number of Ming troops, Azig immediately ordered the coalition forces to take the initiative to attack and drive the Ming army back to the sea.

On the left flank were the allied armies of the shogunate, with a row of bamboo bunches (Japanese shields) at the front and gunners and longbowmen at the back, with only one-third of the firearms common.

The equipment of the Eight Banners of Dongying is much stronger than them, and at the front of the team are hundreds of sophisticated shield vehicles driven by Japanese followers, and the penetration rate of firearms is fifty percent!

In the coalition army, whether it was the Toei Eight Banners or the feudal alliances under the shogunate, the firearms they used were no longer birds, but flintlock pistols.

More than ten years ago, the Ming army held a flintlock pistol inside and outside the pass, and also fought the Hongyi people, under the influence of the combat power of the Tianwu army, East Asian countries have gradually set off a firearms fever, the main direction is the flintlock pistol.

Among them, the most improved is the Ta Qing, they have been beaten the hardest, and they are naturally the most motivated, whether it is firearms or army formation, they have basically copied the Tianwu Army.

Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate was equipped with some because it was beaten by Tatar Qing.

In the banner, the coalition army finally launched an attack, and they divided their troops into three routes, each with 5,000 men, from the center, and launched the first attack on the Ming army on both wings.

"Stop!"

Seeing that the Tartars and devils took the initiative to attack, Shen Shouchong ordered all troops to stop advancing and form a formation on the spot to defend.

"Mortars!"

At the sound of an order, more than 400 gunners crossed out of the array, and a small team of two people lined up more than 200 mortars in front of the array.

Since the Battle of Guanjin, the Shenwu Army used mortars, the predecessor of mortars, and in recent years, the Academy of Military Industry has shot serious mortars.

The mortar is a small light artillery, similar to the tiger squat gun, small size, light weight, simple structure, flexible and light when used, and the operation is also very convenient.

The first real mortar in history was tossed by the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War, that is, the fierce battle between Tsarist Russia and Japan for the Port of Arthur in China.

Today, the mortars of the Ming Dynasty will be here, on the Japanese mainland, to beat the Japanese and blow up the damn!
