1280. Satsuma Night Battle

Kagoshima, known as Koma in ancient Japan.

It is not a prefectural system, and it is a castle town with a daimyo town.

The daimyo were the descendants of the hereditary succession of noble samurai after the martial artists. Although they nominally belonged to the Japanese imperial family, in reality most of them served the shogunate.

Of course, the shogun was nominally just a courtier. Only he controls the power of the state, just like holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.

There were even some daimyo who were strong enough to occupy the throne and did not buy the account of the shogunate.

This may also be the reason why Fujiwara Daai only led 20,000 samurai to attack the Jisha army.

In fact, since the Shogunate period, Japan has long been divided by princes.

Satsuma is an important castle on the Japanese island of Kyushu, but it is faithfully attached to the Kamakura shogunate. The daimyo who actually ruled Satsuma was Satsuma Mamoru who was personally appointed by the shogun Shogun.

And it is rumored that this Satsuma Mamoru is not only a woman, but also has an unusual relationship with the shogun Zhengyi.

Yes, in Kyushu, some people always say that there are two great generals on Kyushu Island. One is Fujiwara Daie, and the other is Inoshita Chestnut, the daimyo of Satsuma Town.

The two of them usually have a clear posture. Fujiwara Tatsue does not interfere in anything in Satsuma Town, and Inoshino Chestnut never competes with Fujiwara Tatsue for power.

At night, Satsuma Town is quite peaceful.

It's a town with a Japanese twist.

Most of the houses in the castle are made of wood.

On the periphery of the castle, it is only a stone base, and the earth on top of it does not look so much like a city wall.

Japan is a country with limited resources and a narrow geography. This city wall is only about three meters high.

The sea breeze blows, and there is a jingling sound of wind chimes in the city, which is quite pleasant.

The people who were only sleeping peacefully in the city did not know that in such a night, there were Great Song Dynasty soldiers who were attacking at night.

In less than half an hour, under the guidance of the spies, Kutake and the others arrived outside Tokusatsuma Town.

By the faint light of the fire, they could faintly see the castle defense of Satsuma Town.

This made Dekongzhu and others feel a little funny.

From the mouth of the spy, I heard that this Satsuma Town is a major castle on the island of Kyushu. They originally thought that such a heavy city would be as entrenched as Chengdu, Xiangyang and other cities in the Great Song Dynasty.

But now in front of them, it is just a small town like the county seat in the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, it cannot be compared with those heavy counties.

The city wall is more than three meters high, which is difficult to see in any county town in the Great Song Dynasty. At least after Zhao Dongting came to power.

After he came to power, the civil and military forces were parallel, and the city walls of each county town were not lower than five meters, and they were all built with green bricks.

It's not that Zhao Dongting can't make a stronger city wall, such as concrete and so on. This alone has the potential to cause great changes in this society.

Well, he never did.

Sotakeku looked at Satsuma Town from a distance and chuckled, "What is this Satsuma Town?" ”

The spy nodded beside him and said, "General Huiyu, exactly." ”

Kongzhu pointed to the city wall, "Their wall is so low?" ”

The spy said disapprehantly: "The Japanese city walls are like this. ”

Or because of the lack of materials, in this era, there were few large equipment in the Japanese army.

There was a general next to Kongzhu who licked his lips, and then grinned: "Chief, it's just such a high wall, let's just rush into it." ”

Kong Zhu waved his hand, "If you kill it like this, then how do the Japanese people know that it was our Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army who killed it." Since they provoked our Da Song, then we have to give them some colors to see. Only the people of Japan are terrified, and those people in Japan ...... The big name is a big name, so I don't dare to provoke our Great Song Dynasty at will. ”

The general said, "How are you going to fight the leader?" ”

The empty bamboo paper fan shook lightly: "First trample on these walls of theirs, and then let's go into the city together." Kill them directly. ”

The spy whispered on the side, "It's the castle tower." ”

The castle tower, which is where the daimyo lived. It can also be said to be the center of power in each castle town.

"Hmm!"

Sotake nodded, "I'm talking about the castle tower." ”

Then, just a short time later, outside Satsuma Town, there was a sudden burst of cannons.

Kuzhu led the Earth Demon Army to take the initiative to attack and kill Kyushu Island, which was undoubtedly far from the expectation of Fujiwara Tatsue and others.

It takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to smash Huanglong like this.

At this time, Fujiwara Tatsue and his samurai were still in Osumi Town, on the east side of Satsuma Town.

The sudden sound of cannon fire broke the immersion of Satsuma Town in an instant.

I don't know how many people woke up from their sleep with such a loud bang, panicked, and thought that there was another natural disaster.

Disasters such as earthquakes in Japan are not uncommon due to sector issues.

Someone immediately heard that the sound really didn't look like an earthquake.

Those who ran outside the hut in panic couldn't help but look in the direction of the city wall where the sound came.

It is the Satsuma town south side.

And the samurai of their Satsuma Town were crying under the bombardment of artillery fire at this time.

These samurai were all subordinate to Satsuma Town, and they were under the orders of Inoshita, who were actually Inokuru's personal soldiers.

To say that they are a rabble is obviously not counted. After all, they were all piled up with silver coins from the wild chestnuts in the well, far more than those pirates could compare.

But under the bombardment of grenadiers, they were no different from those Japanese pirates.

In Japan, which was still in the age of cold weapons, the samurai had obviously not seen the grenadiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Suddenly covered by shells, they were also panicked, and some even mistook it for heaven's punishment.

Inside and outside the city walls, those Japanese samurai wearing armor and wearing Tsukiyo hairstyles were all running away in embarrassment.

"Kill!"

And at this time, the soldiers of the evil army outside the city finally shouted to kill.

Under the constant bombardment of grenadiers, thousands of soldiers rushed out of the night and headed straight for the low walls of Satsuma Town.

Such shouts and killings made the warriors near the city walls even more panicked.

Satsuma Town is just like the county seat of the Great Song Dynasty, and its garrison in the city is no more than 5,000 people. And many of them have to be sent to various places to guard.

The defenders of Satsuma Town are afraid that there are not even 2,000 people.

And inside and outside the southern gate, there are even less.

Originally, they were afraid that the total number was only three or five hundred, but after the bombardment of artillery shells, they seemed to be even weaker.

When the local warriors rushed in from the darkness of the night, these Satsuma warriors showed very different qualities.

There were samurai who were willing to dedicate their lives to the spirit of bushido and went to greet the soldiers of the earthly evil army with a furious expression, and there were also those who were afraid of death, but they were busy shrinking towards the castle.

Gunfire rained down.

Faint crowds.

In the face of these Satsuma warriors who rushed forward to kill without risking their lives, the soldiers of the Earth Demon Army showed no sign of showing affection.

It would be extremely foolish for the Japanese samurai to spare these Japanese samurai just because they were not afraid of death.

After capturing the figure of the samurai, the soldiers of the Earth Demon Army holding the dragon gun all pulled the trigger in their hands.

There are sporadic fires that appear and disappear from time to time.

The Satsuma warriors, who were not afraid of death, fell to the ground one after another.

Among them, there are martial arts people, but they are not masters. Its internal cultivation is just the lower Yuan realm.

Some samurai wanted to perform skills such as drawing and slashing, holding the katana sword at his waist with one hand, and his face turned red and rushed forward to kill. Before he could reach the soldiers of the Earth Demon Army, he was shot by the dragon and fell to the ground. From beginning to end, even the knife could not be drawn.

The soldiers of the Hellish Army approached the crumbling walls at great speed.

The sound of cannons, I don't know when it has quietly subsided.

After the bombardment, only two or three hundred people remained, and the Satsuma samurai were obviously no match for the soldiers of the Terrasa Army.

One after another, they fell to the ground.

Thousands of soldiers rushed to the castle like a flood, either straight to the top of the castle or along the gap into the castle, and in a short time, they controlled the southern wall of Satsuma Town.

Then, along the street, led by the spies, they went straight to the castle tower where the wild chestnut was located.
