Chapter 534: Japan Switch (4)
In Kagoshima Bay, the people of Yudegao, who had been repairing for two days, were also observing the situation under Kagoshima Castle with all their might.
Looking through the binoculars, under the black-and-white Japanese-style castle a few miles away, tens of thousands of horses were densely gathered, and the cross-leaning flags of the pills were very eye-catching.
"The Shimazu family seems to be ready, ordering the whole army, ready to counterattack at any time."
Putting down the binoculars, You Degao solemnly gave an order to Jiang Baolin.
Indeed, as You Degao thought, after gathering 20,000 peasant soldiers, Shimazu Mitsuhisa could no longer tolerate these Luzon people showing off their might on their own territory.
After eating the plum rice balls for breakfast, nearly 20,000 small, numb-eyed peasants with bamboo spears and pointed hats, led by a group of Satsuma samurai, began to move towards the harbor in a chaotic manner.
The sound of armor colliding, the sound of dancing against flags, and the loud roar of a group of samurai peasants for courage made a concerted song for the Japanese army of this era.
However, these tens of thousands of troops did not go far from the range of the castle, and as soon as they came within range of the Luzon fleet, they were immediately subjected to a fierce artillery bombardment.
The guns of more than a dozen battleships opened fire in unison, and from time to time shells flew into the array in the battle formation of the Shimazu family, provoking bursts of broken arms flying and cries of terror.
"The enemy army has a national collapse!"
The peasants and soldiers in Osumi, Hyuga, and other places who had just arrived to support had not yet seen the indiscriminate bombardment of Luzon, and they were suddenly stunned by the fierce artillery fire.
Hisamasa Kayama, the elder of the Shimazu family, finally got the opportunity he had always dreamed of, and was able to lead the entire Shimazu family army to attack the Luzons.
But at this time, he wished that he hadn't fought for this opportunity in the first place.
The roar of artillery fire made all the military horses of the Shimazu side panic and neigh, and many cavalry were carried on a rampage in all directions, causing the Shimazu family's already untidy array to be even more chaotic.
"Charge, charge!"
Helpless, Hisamasa Kayama had no choice but to give a loud order with a hideous face, and the entire Shimazu family's army began to rush towards the port frantically in a chaotic situation.
"Just run in front of the enemy" was the thought of most of the Shimazu soldiers.
Of course, among the tens of thousands, many of the peasant soldiers close to the two wings had begun to collapse because they could not bear the fear in their hearts.
The Shimazu family also had a lot of iron artillery teams, but compared to the Luzon army, they were nothing in comparison.
At this time, the Flying Bear Brigade, which saw the opportunity, also began to form a team under the leadership of the battalion commander Wei Min'an.
Pushing away the horses and other objects in front of the port fortifications, the first thing that showed their heads was ten portable three-inch guns.
Scattered projectiles like grape seeds flew out of the Flying Bear Brigade's artillery, creating ten arc-shaped blank areas directly in front of the battlefield.
"First column, shoot!"
Wei Min'an's command knife swung down fiercely, and clouds of smoke rose in front of the Luzon array.
If it were not supported by the artillery fire of the port warships, the Flying Bear Brigade might have been scattered by the Shimazu family's man-sea tactics and suffered a defeat in the near future.
But now with strong fire support, the combat power of the Flying Bear Brigade has been maximized.
It took less than an hour to work hard, and the Shimazu family, who had never been able to break through the range of Luzon's firepower, finally couldn't bear it.
Trembling, Hisamasa Kayama gave the order for the entire army to retreat, and the remaining 10,000 or so peasants ran back to Kagoshima Castle almost in a hurry.
In the battle formation of the Luzon army, Nagasudune Ibu Yoshijin and his 120-man samurai team watched everything in front of them in amazement.
It was also the first time for the samurai to cooperate with the Luzon army, and seeing such a subversive way of fighting in their hearts, Nagamune, my department, Yoshikin, and others were all terrified.
Fortunately, after thinking about it, he and the others were also members of the Luzon army, and the people of Changzong and my department were very settled.
It's just that in this way, the already fearful of the Luzon people has intensified a little.
"Kishikin, you go and negotiate with the Shimazu family on behalf of our army."
Just after cleaning up the hellish battlefield in front of him, Changzong and my Jiqin were called over by Wei Min'an and ordered.
Because of the work to take off the horn helmet of the long sect of my department Yoshijin was a little dumbfounded with his hand pointed to his nose, "General, you said let me negotiate?" ”
Wei Min'an's eyes widened, "Isn't there anyone else who is you, aren't you Japanese, do you want to go in person?" ”
Changzong and my relatives were all sweating, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face, and he hurriedly bowed his head fiercely and said:
"General, how should your subordinates negotiate, please give me instructions."
"You're like this, you're so ......"
Wei Min'an had already received the order of You Degao's general, and at this time, he taught Changzong and my department to come one by one.
In Kagoshima Castle, Mitsuhisa Shimazu, who was full of expectations but welcomed back his defeated army, was furious and thunderous.
"Baga, you bastard, you bastard, you always boast about your invincibility on weekdays, why did you lose today without even seeing the enemy's face, what is the use of this clan asking you?"
In the assessment room, Hisamasa Kayama, who was full of fireworks, bowed his head to the ground with a face of shame, "My lord, the minister is incompetent, please allow me to commit suicide." ”
"Lord, the big war is ahead, how can you kill the general, please think twice."
The old man Shimazu Jiutong hurriedly followed and pleaded, and the group of generals behind him immediately bowed their heads, "Please also think twice." ”
"Bastard, put your head with you first, if you can't make meritorious service to atone for your sins, then you will kill yourself."
Shimazu Mitsuhisa is not unreasonable, but he always has to find a scapegoat for his own fiasco.
After scolding Hisasa, Shimazu Mitsuhisa finally closed his eyes with a sad face and said: "Gentlemen, the Luzon army is fierce, and my Shimazu family may cut off the family business at this time if he is not careful, what do you have to teach me?" ”
There was silence in the assessment room.
An enemy such as the Luzon Army was something the Shimazu family had never seen before, and even if the shogunate from far away in Edo came to attack, the Shimazu family was not so frightened as they are today.
"My lord, the Luzon people besieged but did not attack, I don't think they want to cut off my Shimazu family business, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to negotiate peace."
Seeing that no one in the hall spoke, Shimazu Hisatsu carefully sat up and said.
"Peace?"
The ministers of the Shimazu family looked at each other, and they had just suffered a defeat, how could they negotiate peace?
"Report, lord, a young general came out of the Luzon army and came to the main formation with a white flag." At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the house.
"Oh, how many soldiers are there?" , Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was on the main seat, changed his face as soon as he said it, and asked in surprise all of a sudden.
The head of the Yue Dynasty who ran in knelt down and replied: "There are only one hundred and twenty people, all of them are dressed in our military uniforms." ”
At this moment, Shimazu Mitsu couldn't sit still for a while, and took the lead in getting up and walking out of the house quickly.
Under Kagoshima Castle, the over-frightened Shimazu army had not yet recovered from the defeat when they saw a group of armored samurai coming out of the Luzon army.
The Shimazu family's troops, who were already panicked, were even more frightened, but fortunately, they saw that there were only more than 100 people coming, and the Shimazu family, who were like frightened birds, calmed down.
The samurai of the Shimazu family, who had just seen the power of the Luzon people, did not dare to slack off, and after Nagamune explained his intentions, he hurriedly took him into Kagoshima Castle.
Outside the three castles of Kagoshima, Mitsuhisa Shimazu, dressed in black feathers, personally returned to meet Yoshikin, who had come to visit.
As soon as he saw that Yoshimi was dressed in red armor, and after he took off his helmet, and then saw the head of the moon generation that he kept, Shimazu Mitsuhisa and the others were all a little puzzled.
"Your Excellency is a Japanese national? Dare to ask the surname Gao? ”
Hearing the dignified lord of the Satsuma domain greeting him with honorifics, Chosho Ibu Yoshikin, who had been in exile in Luzon for more than ten years, couldn't help but subconsciously straighten his chest.
"Yes, in the lower Chozong, I have a descendant of the Tosa Province daimyo Chozong Ibu family, and I have seen the lord of the Shimazu domain."
"Wow"
Behind Shimazu Mitsuhisa, a group of Shimazu retainers were in an uproar.
"Changzong and my family, haven't they already been eliminated?"
"Tosa was also an ally of his family back then, and the demeanor of Prince Sheng back then was really admirable."
"That's right, my Changzong and my family were once the same Western Army Daimyo as your family, but they were unlucky and were cut off by the Tokugawa traitors, but my Changzong and my family are not dead, and we must revive the family business in the future, so as not to lose the prestige of my Changzong and my family."
Hearing the discussion of the ministers of the Shimazu family, Nagamune Ibu Yoshijin shouted loudly with a flushed face.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's gaze softened a little, "After it turned out to be an old man, the ancestor Yoshihiro also praised Ling Zusheng many times, saying that his bravery was very brave and his demeanor was extraordinary, but it was a pity that his destiny was not fulfilled." ”
