"The Japanese are so good at fighting."

Zheng Sen rode on horseback, put down the binoculars in his hand, and spoke to Matsuura Zhenxin beside him.

And the latter is no longer angry at this moment.

Actions speak louder than words. In front of Zheng Jun, the Japanese soldiers were really unbearable.

Zheng Sen didn't care whether Matsuura Zhenxin wanted to interface or not, and went straight down: "There is no fortification, no shield carts and meat shields, and there are not enough artillery ......."

"It would be nice if the Tartar was so easy to fight."

Zheng Sen didn't know Zheng Zhilong's plans for Japan, so he just sighed with emotion. The Tartars are obviously a group of savages, how can they have better brains than the Japanese?

……

The sound of artillery continued to sound on the battlefield.

The shells arrived whizzing, and the tidal commotion slowly rippled in the Japanese formation, and all the Japanese soldiers were staring at the coughing shells, intending to dodge. But where can they hide in the midst of the great army?

The samurai wearing the big armor was directly hit in the shoulder, and the flesh flew in an instant. The armor didn't play a role in hindering it at all, and the iron bullet instantly shattered half of the person's body, and when the iron ball burst into the iron cannon light foot array behind him with blood mist, the Great Armored Warrior was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

There was a crackling sound of fractures, and the iron ball easily swept off the arms, legs and feet of more than a dozen people. In the end, he smashed the light calf of an iron cannon into minced meat, and the flesh and bones were completely mixed together, and the residual power disappeared.

Heart-rending cries rang out, and the crippled soldiers lay on the ground rolling and howling. Looking at their miserable appearance, the lucky ones beside them were all colorless. If such an irresistible injury fell on them, wouldn't it be the same as the wounded soldiers in front of them?

It's better to die.

Without arms, legs and feet, living can only add to the burden on the family.

With just one shot, there was a violent commotion in this piece of Japanese iron cannon light foot.

In the entire Japanese array, dozens of shells of all sizes smashed into the face. In this relatively dense military formation, an iron ball rushed into the formation, and a flesh alley was rolled away.

The sound of crying father and mother's voice continued, and the iron balls roared into the Japanese army, beating them to the flesh and blood, and also making the morale of the Japanese army, which was already low, even lower.

"Go up, go up—" Katsushige Nabeshima's hands were exposed, one hand clutching the reins tightly, and the other holding the sword high.

At this time, even if it is doomed, it must be rushed. Otherwise, the Japanese army would have lost even more bitterly and meaninglessly. Because it was very difficult for them to turn around and run away now, and it was impossible for the team to retreat to the rear safely.

And if they are all going to fail, it is better to fight to death a few more Ming people.

Zheng Zhilong raised his eyebrows, I can't imagine that Nabeshima Katsushige is still very courageous. But this courage is not helpful.

The power of the artillery bombardment was enormous, but it eventually stopped, and when the two armies drew closer and closer, the artillery was completely extinguished.

But then the gunshots rang out.

Muskets were held diagonally in a dense manner, and bayonets were aimed at the Japanese soldiers in front. Zheng Jun's face was all indifferent.

It's not that you're not afraid of death, it's that you're not afraid of death. Not to mention that they have already won this war, and it is the Japanese, not them, who are trembling at gunpoint.

Looking at the thousands of muskets on the opposite side, the faces of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were all gray, and many people's minds were blank. There were even some people who did not wait for the officer's order to pull the trigger of their arquebus without authorization. Iron cannon light foot is also an elite class in the feudal army array, a large number of iron cannon light foot has been dispersed to the two wings, some of the remaining iron cannon light foot in the Chinese army is not as much as the other party, if this is a volley of guns, then it is not looking for death?

And under their leadership, the other Japanese iron guns all opened fire involuntarily.

The arquebus gun, which burst like beans, rose in smoke, and the Zheng army musketeers on the opposite side fell some. But they don't all have to die.

The Zheng army musketeers standing in the forefront were all heavily armoured, and in addition to cotton armor, there was also a layer of iron armor.

The quality of the Japanese arquebus is very good, although the sergeant panicked and did not have the power of the salvo, but some of the Zheng soldiers who were hit, even if they were not hit by a bloody hole, but the projectile hit the body so closely, it was like a big hammer smashing on the body, which could easily cause damage to the internal organs, and even die due to internal injuries.

There was the more unfortunate man, who was shot in the iron helmet, and his neck was broken instantly, and the helmet flew backwards, and blood and brains splattered out.

The comrades-in-arms and brothers beside him fell one after another, but the Zheng army's musketeer array was still motionless, and they were naturally afraid, but one by one they still gritted their teeth, held their muskets, and continued to move forward step by step, continuing to wait for the order to stand and wait for the order to fire.

The vacant space in front of him was quickly filled by musketeers who had come up from the rear.

Until they were about thirty paces closer to each other, three rapid sounds reached the ears of all Zheng Jun, and the musketeers of the five battalions stood in an instant. The muskets raised diagonally squared, and thousands of swarthy muzzles were pointed at the Japanese soldiers.

"Beep!"

Like the cry of death sounded in the ears of the soldiers of Zheng Jun, with this sound, "bang bang bang ......", rows of muskets rang out endlessly, and fierce fires came out......

The front and rear five columns of musketeers did not fire at the same time, but five columns of muskets, firing out in a continuous chain.

A large amount of thick smoke erupted from the muzzle of the gun, which instantly enveloped Zheng Jun's head.

With the sound of volleys of guns, the Japanese iron cannons on the opposite side came out of the blood mist on their feet, and they fell in pieces.

Thirty paces away, less than fifty meters.

Not to mention the Japanese army's sufficient and large armor, it is the Nanban armor in their mouths, that is, the plate armor of Europe, which is impossible to resist the musket.

Therefore, it is a matter of course that the Japanese feudal soldiers on the opposite side fell down like wheat that had been cut.

Watching the iron cannon light feet and comrades in front of him fall one by one in front of his eyes, in the blink of an eye, the front was empty and there were not many people left. The bows and spears that lagged behind were a little sluggish.

Many people looked blankly at the corpses of their companions on the ground, and there were also comrades who were rolling and wailing, and their minds were blank......

Five consecutive volleys were fired, not to mention that the Japanese army's iron artillery had been swept away, and even the teams of cold weapons and light feet behind them also crippled people.

The few remaining Japanese iron artillery light feet, a few people who had not yet fired, quickly pulled the trigger on Zheng Jun, and the Zheng Jun on the opposite side were all nervously loading ammunition. The Japanese guns rang out, and the Zheng soldiers fell down a little more, but the movements of the others did not stop at all.

"Kill the ......"

The shouts of the Lightfoot Group and the General were loud, and these people settled their minds and understood what choice to make. While the Zheng army was loading ammunition, he immediately launched an attack. Don't rush at this time, wait until the enemy's guns are loaded before attacking?

The light-footed soldiers who were awakened by the roar rushed towards the Zheng army like a pouring torrent.

Then, they all threw themselves into the streets to the sound of explosions of tiger cannons and grenades......

And when the sound of the explosion also sounded the salvo of muskets, the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy losses, completely collapsed.

They screamed and screamed heartbreakingly. Like the ebbing tide of the sea, the few remaining front and middle armies were scattered in an instant.

The suppression of the generals was meaningless, and even they themselves had to be coerced by the rebel army, and had to retreat under the protection of their close attendants.

"My lord, Your Excellency Nabeshima has his own decision, you better leave quickly......" Kuroda Tadayuki was pulled away by the attendants. Don't look at the Kumamoto Domain's Hosokawa Mitsusho has already taken the first step.

Tadayuki Kuroda said goodbye and left, leaving only Nabeshima Katsushige still standing under the banner.

"Father's ......"

Mitsushige Nabeshima looked at his father a little timidly. He was not very old, but he also understood the impact of this defeat. His dad is finished.

"Mitsumao, remember your father's shame and learn a lesson. Don't blindly provoke others. Nabeshima Katsushige touched his son's head, if he could, he really didn't want to leave at this time. Because Mitsushige Nabeshima is only thirteen years old.

"After that, you're on your own."

"Take the young master and leave. This is not the place he should be. ”

Nabeshima Katsushige waved his hand and told the attendant to leave with his son, leaving only seven or eight people around, all of whom were determined to live with him.

"Please also die with me."

"It is our glory to be able to die with the Lord!"

Looking at the back of Nabeshima Mitsushige being taken away, Nabeshima Katsushige clenched the sword in his hand and shouted.

Death, for him, is easy; To be alive is the real difficulty for the Nabeshima family in the future.

……

The cavalry battalion attacked.

Zhou Yi led his horse army, overtook the frontal battlefield, and inserted it from the right flank.

On weekdays, the Zheng army horsemen who sat down on the war horses were like serving their ancestors, but now they were all kicking the horse's belly fiercely, and the war horses neighed, they wagged their tails and straightened their necks, and the pain made them run faster.

Kill to the front with the fastest speed, block the way of the defeated Japanese army as much as possible, and annihilate the Japanese army as much as possible.

This is Zheng Zhilong's inevitable choice, and it is also the inevitable choice after the big victory.

Do you want to be able to achieve greater and more brilliant results? Even if you have to release them later.

Zheng Zhilong, who was full of smiles, came down from the high platform and raised his eyes to see Matsuura Zhenxin.

The latter rushed over when he saw Zheng Zhilong, and before he could speak, he was blocked back by Zheng Zhilong's hand, "Don't worry, I have already passed down the order, if you can capture the prisoner alive, don't make more killings." As long as these defeated soldiers on the battlefield obediently lay down their weapons and tie their hands and capture, they will be fine. ”

What else can Matsuura say?

In fact, it's time for him to think more about the 'road' ahead.

Zheng Zhilong easily defeated Nabeshima Katsushige's army, and he was shocked by the ease and smoothness of this war, but as a result, he had already thought about it not long ago?

"Zheng Jun, dare to ask what you want to do next?" Matsuura Zhenxin cautiously asked.

"Of course, it went to Saga Castle." For the punishment of the Nabeshima family, this is only the beginning, not the end.

"So, then what? ……”

Songpu Zhenxin didn't wait for Zheng Zhilong to answer, and then said: "If this can vent your anger, I can only ask you to stop killing." But after punishing the Saga Domain, you always have to negotiate with the shogunate, don't you? ”

"Of course, I will negotiate with the shogunate, but not in Nagasaki. Rather, in Edo. I will go to Edowan with my army and have a good talk with the Tokugawa family. I also have some friendship with General Jiaguang? I haven't seen each other for many years, but I finally came to Japan once, and I always had to pay a visit. ”

Zheng Zhilong's words are like going to a friend's house to visit the door.
