Andrew and Tang Xiuji's words made Dongmen' Qing's brain turn a hundred and eighty degrees at once! He suddenly thought, "Why do I have to listen to Wang Zhi's words!" He has set so many rules and regulations, and he may not have helped me much, why should I listen to him! He values me now and tolerates me, is it because I am Dongmenqing or because I am Lin Xiyi's grandson? And he thought, "If I don't do what he says, I'll probably annoy him." But if you cower and don't dare to mess with him, you will have to be led by the nose forever! He***, leave him alone! Let's talk about it! It's hard for him to do, that's his thing! What do I care so much for! ”

The strategy has changed, and so has the troop movement. He really unloaded the artillery of Qinghua Xiang and Fuchong, and according to Lasso's suggestion, formed a small artillery team, with Lasso as the executive captain, and Tang Xiuji led a team of men and horses to supervise and guard. Lasso's mother-in-law in decision-making and administration, but the technical work is really good, within half a day to check all the guns of this small artillery team, felt that there was no problem, and carried four of the 'guns' to the west 'gate' overnight, covered with cloth, so as not to 'reveal' secrets, the other eight 'gates' can be pushed with wheels, and placed behind the city 'gate', ready to go. Andrew also came to ask for an errand, and Dongmen' Qing assigned him more than 20 miscellaneous soldiers equipped with swords. In order to serve these twelve 'guns', in addition to gunners and guards, there were also porters and other handymen, which was enough to use nearly 200 people.

On the third day after the East Gate Qing entered the city, the coalition forces outside the city finally moved, but they did not enter the city directly, but first sent an envoy to come in and write a book. Matsuura opened the letter and saw that his face became very strange, and the cage hand Tian Anjing asked what was going on, Matsuura refused to say, and the east 'door' Qing sat down, and saw that the messenger showed an unkind look to himself, so he asked Matsuura to read the letter, Matsuura hesitated for a while, and finally 'handed over' to him, the messenger was a little panicked when he saw it, and the east 'door' Qing took it and sneered: "Matsuura-kun!" Will you promise him? ”

It turned out that this letter was to surrender, the main content was that Matsuura Kaejo surrendered, 'handed over' out of the east 'gate' Qing, and drove away the Chinese merchants in the city, if Matsuura Takanshin agreed to these three terms, the coalition forces would withdraw, if not, the city would be attacked tomorrow!

Matsuura Takanobu saw that the East Gate Kei was angry, and hurriedly said, "It's okay! If I had said yes, I would not have read the letter to you. ”

When the messenger heard this, he exclaimed, "Lord Takano! Think again! For the sake of this outsider, you will be called treason! Once the family business is destroyed, how will Lord Takanshin face the samurai and people in the territory? How to face the Koshin-sama who 'handed' over the family business to you! ”

Matsuura Takanobu shouted: "The king of the East 'Gate' is attached to me, and I can't be without affection for him!" I can't do that! Please go back! Although he replied resolutely, his words revealed that he had no confidence in offensive and defensive battles.

The messenger sneered secretly and retreated.

Matsuura Takanbu said to the East Gate Kei: "East Gate King, you must also be prepared, in case the war does not go well, you can take Ayako and go back to Daming!" ”

Dongmen' Qing said suddenly: "What do you think of me!" If you refuse to betray me, will I turn my back on you? Besides, we may not lose the battle! ”

In the evening of the same day, another fleet approached Songpu, but it was Zhou Dafu who returned! He was joined by five hundred sailors who had stood the wind and waves! But it was Li Guangtou who was 'pumped' from everywhere. One hundred of them are Xu Yuanliang's descendants, led by Hai Dongqing himself. The East 'Gate' celebrated the great joy, hurriedly welcomed them into the city, and discussed with the leaders of the reinforcements, and the crowd pushed Xu Yuanliang to be the commander of the five hundred people.

That night, Matsuura Takanshin also held a secret meeting without the participation of the East 'Gate' Qing, and some retainers suggested secretly promising the Ryuzoji family to decapitate the East 'Gate' Qing, Matsuura Takashi couldn't bear it, and the cage hand Tian Anjing also objected, saying: "We only have 900 troops in the city, and Qing Huaxiang came with 250 people on the first day alone, and those big cylinders brought in nearly 200 more people, and now there are more than 500 people, and the troops are more than us, how to behead him?" In my opinion, it's better to cooperate with them and defend the city first! ”

The general who suggested killing Dongmenqing said: "The stronger their troops, the more terrifying!" If they defeat the enemy, they won't leave! So what to do? When the time comes, we'll go and ask other daimyo for help, but I'm afraid that people won't pay attention to me! ”

Matsuura Takanobu didn't know what to do, and Yasukei Katora said, "I have a way!" I think this eastern 'gate' is very active in defending the city, so why don't we take advantage of his enthusiasm and let them take the lead! Let's just follow him! In this way, you can use these Tang Ke to relieve the pressure of the Dragon Temple, and secondly, you can also consume the strength of these Tang Ke! They don't want to really destroy us, and when the war drags on for a few days, we will send someone to negotiate with them, and let Jiajian put forward conditions for all Tang guests to withdraw across the strait, isn't it? ”

Several retainers felt that it was feasible, and Matsuura Takashi said: "It is best not to offend the Ryuzoji family and keep the family business, but also not to hurt the king of the East 'Gate'." The retainers said yes, but they thought in their hearts: "There may not be such a thing as the best of both worlds!" ”

These secrets of the East 'Gate' Qing do not know, he is only planning tomorrow's war, in the middle of the night, suddenly sent someone to invite the cage Tian Anjing, ask him what changes in the deployment of troops, the cage Tian Anjing roughly said, the East 'Gate' Qing said: "I think we should take the initiative instead of sitting in the lonely city!" ”

Cage hand Tian Anjing was surprised: "Take the initiative to attack? The opponent's forces are stronger than ours! ”

Dongmen' Qing said: "The weather is dry these days, and the guns can be used, so we can have the upper hand!" Well, I'll guard this western gate, and I'll see how their offensive goes. If they're aggressive, we'll be more conservative. If their combat effectiveness is average, I will rush out through the western 'gate'!" I will let Xu Yuanliang be my right wing, and you will be my left wing when the time comes. ”

Cage Tian Anjing thought about it, agreed, and said, "But I have to go and tell the lord first." ”

The east 'gate' celebrated: "Okay! ”

Yasukei Katora came back and talked to Matsuura Takanobu again.

A retainer offered advice on the side, and said: "The envoy of the Longzao Temple family still has a deputy here, why don't we leak the news to this person, and say that the west 'gate' is the most unfamiliar, let him spread the news, so that the family and the family will definitely storm the west 'gate' tomorrow!" At that time, there will be much less pressure on our front door. And those Tang Ke will also be greatly injured under the fierce attack of Jia Ji. ”

Cage Tian Anjing said: "But if they can't resist and the west 'gate' is lost, what will we do?" ”

Didn't he make you his left? You take someone after you. If these Tang guests are useless and cause the West 'Gate' to be lost, you still have time to make up for it and defend the West Gate! ”

Matsuura Takashin hesitated a little, but in the end there was no objection, there were people from the Matsuura family here to "leak" the secret", and Tian Anjing, the cage hand over there, came to the east 'gate' to say that the lord agreed, and the east 'gate' Qing Dayue said: "Matsuura-kun trusts me so much, I am really moved!" Don't worry, I will definitely guard the West Gate!" ”

Cage Tian Anjing secretly screamed ashamed when he heard this, and his heart was very uneasy, but he didn't dare to 'reveal' the truth!

By the second day, it had been quiet from morning to afternoon, until dusk, when it was dark, that the coalition forces suddenly attacked, and the main direction of the attack came from the west! Matsuura Castle is small, and it doesn't have a 'door' on all sides! This west 'gate' is a side 'gate', and the terrain in front of the 'gate' is not enough to deploy a large number of troops, but it is still possible for more than ten people to enter side by side!

Seeing hundreds of Japanese-style ashigaru marching in rows, the East Gate Keiwang said to Lasu: "Prepare to fire!" ”

Lasso said, "It's still early! After looking at it, I was quite disdainful in my heart, thinking that such a team, even if there are thousands of people, there is no need to be afraid! said: "Don't worry, the chief owner, look at their equipment like this, such a queue, when the cannon is released, they must be 'chaotic'!" I think you might as well form a line now and get ready to clean up the mess! ”

The East Gate Qing glanced at the invading Japanese troops, and saw that there were about one or two thousand people, but the queue was not very neat, and the action lacked shock, which was far worse than he expected! He was relieved a lot, smiled and said, "You are 'quite confident'!" "Don't interfere too much with Lasso's decision, and let him control the heat.

Seeing that the enemy had already entered the range of the cannon, and Lasso was about to fire the cannon, Brapa suddenly said: "Master of the ship, if the cannon fires first, those people will no longer rush over as soon as they are afraid of 'chaos'!" It is better to let them come closer, and when we are in the range of 'firing', we will first knock down a few rows with muskets, 'disrupt' their forwards, and then bombard their rear troops with artillery. In fact, he didn't have any overall considerations for this suggestion, but he felt that the army couldn't see anything powerful, so he was afraid that he would not be able to make a contribution, and he was completely thinking about himself, but Lasso listened to it and said: "Good idea!" ”

The east 'gate' said: "Okay, just wait." "Command the four stormtroopers to be ready to fight to the death with the siege team at any time!

Li Rongjiu has already finished waiting for a long time, just waiting to fight. Behind Xu Yuanliang's team was also ready to rescue at any time, but Tian Anjing, the cage hand, was uneasy, thinking: "Just handed over the West 'Gate' to him, if you lose the battle, what would it be?" ”

The offensive of the coalition forces on the side of the west 'gate' did not move, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting on the side of the main 'gate'! Cage Tian Anjing was stunned at first, then shocked, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted: "It's not good! They did what they wanted! ”

Zhou Dafu wanted to coordinate the pace of the various armies to run back and forth, and just beside him, he heard the strange words: "What will be calculated?" ”

Cageman Tian Anjing was speechless for a while, and finally said: "I originally thought that they might attack the west 'gate', but I didn't expect them to attack the main 'gate' first!" "So let people tell the east 'gate' Qing, saying that they would go to the main 'gate' for reinforcements first, and leave with people!

It turned out that although Matsuura had a plan for his family and wanted him to attack the west 'gate', but the family did not fully believe the news, and after some thought, as expected by the cage hand Tian Anjing, "the plan will be calculated", and he feinted to attack the west 'gate' with a partial division, but attacked the main 'gate' with the main force! Because of this, the feint team in front of the West Gate seems to be a little dragged.

At this time, the main force of the Longzao Temple on the side of the main 'gate' moved, and the coalition forces in front of the west 'gate' also launched an attack - although they were said to be feints, they were not exactly pretending. In Iekan's expectations, even if Matsuura released false news, even if this west 'gate' was a real heavy defense, it is estimated that the defenders of this west 'gate' would not exceed 1,000 people, and even if the partial division he sent could not break through the west 'gate', it would be enough to contain the troops deployed in the west 'gate' in Matsuura City!

Kavala and Brapa saw that the enemy was in the best 'firing' range, and gave the order to release their guns! Eighty 'gates' of muskets were condescendingly fired together, two of them did not go off, and seventy-eight pieces of lead burst into the air with a thud, and twenty or thirty people fell on the spot, either dead or wounded!

The generals of the coalition forces outside the 'gate' were taken aback, and the forward was 'chaotic'! Following Lasso's order to fire a cannon, the crowd only heard a few earth-shattering sounds, and it was like a few thunderbolts exploded in their ears!

Since Ashigaru in Kitakyushu had never experienced an artillery battle before, he was already terrified just by hearing this sound! Many people think it's a celestial phenomenon, and some people think it's a demon! However, the center of the battle formation was blown up by a shell, not only killing and wounding many people on the spot, but also catching fire, and the formation was immediately 'chaotic'!

The east 'gate' was stunned and said, "How can there be fire?" "At this time, Zhou Dafu came to report, saying that the enemy army seems to be attacking the main 'gate', and Tian Anjing has rushed over to reinforce it! Li Rongjiu rubbed his hands and said, "Chief Lord, should we also go over for reinforcements?" ”

Tang Xiuji suddenly laughed, and Dongmenqing asked, "What's wrong?" Tang Xiuji said: "I know how there is fire!" These idiots! They are mainly attacking the main 'gate' and feint the west 'gate', and the rear formation may be using fake soldiers such as scarecrows to make us think that they are coming with a lot of people! In fact, their main force went to the main 'gate'! ”

Dongmenqing suddenly realized and shouted: "Yes! Right! ”

Zhou Dafu said: "Then what should we do?" ”

The few of them discussed in the sound of gunfire, but Brapa, Kavala, and Lasso did not stop, the cannon was loaded, and a second shot was fired, and the musketeers drove to the third round!

The castle of Japan is not only small, but also short, so where else can you climb into it on the night of the East Gate celebration? Therefore, the East Gate Qing and the others stood at the head of the city and looked down, not far from the coalition forces under the city, Ashigaru, and saw that they were bombarded by guns and cannons like headless flies, and the East Gate Qing was very excited, full of confidence, and shouted: "What reinforcements do you need!" It's not that there is no one guarding the main 'door'! Longxin himself is staring at it! It won't be broken for a while! Let's eat these guys first! With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Rong Jiu! Out of town! ”
