Chapter 421: Maeda Toshika's Determination
In fact, not only Fukuoka, but the entire Wa country did not know what was happening to Korea, whether the army was fighting or had been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty. In this case, Toyotomi Hideyoshi naturally had luck in his heart, or that all the people in the country had luck, what if the army defeated the Ming army?
In this state of mind, it is naturally impossible to make a strong wall and clear the wilderness, but to constantly strengthen the defense in Fukuoka, and watch out for the sailors of the Ming Dynasty day and night.
These days, although the sailors of the Ming Dynasty are also wandering around Fukuoka, they are basically harassing, so that the Japanese in Fukuoka breathe a sigh of relief. However, Fukuoka is still increasing its troops, and the Japanese stationed in Hizen Nagoya have already sent people to reinforce Fukuoka, but they have not yet arrived.
Early that morning, the Wako in Fukuoka got up to eat as usual, and then changed the guard, but before the meal was eaten, the alarm went off.
Daming's fleet appeared outside Fukuoka, a large area of black oppression, and the Japanese stationed in Fukuoka were suddenly in chaos, and it was over, and Daming's sailors called. At the same time, I also felt a sigh in my heart, could it be that the army of North Korea has been completely wiped out? Once such an idea is generated, the Japanese in Fukuoka have not yet started fighting, and their hearts are in turmoil, and their momentum is completely lost.
Qi Jin put down the binoculars in his hand, turned to Yu Zhigao and said, "The old tactic, first hit two rounds of artillery, and then land." ”
Although there have been no battles, the Daming Navy Division has always practiced a lot of landing battles, but there is actually nothing to say about the tactics, that is, the artillery hits over, and then the speedboat lands to establish a solid defense point, and the large troop transports behind follow up, and then directly occupy the place to land.
The Ming Royal Sailor was very familiar with this kind of battle, so the flag shook and the war began.
This time Qi Jiguang used fourteen main ships, each with sixty side guns facing Fukuoka, a total of eight hundred and forty cannons, all of which were flowering shells, and as soon as the guns were fired, the offensive was like the sky falling apart.
The artillery roared, and the shells whistled through the sky, and the port of Fukuoka instantly became a target for artillery.
Soil and rocks were splashed, countless buildings were blown up, countless Japanese pirates were beaten and fled, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the flames were soaring into the sky, under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Japanese to prevent the Ming army from landing. In the case of the elimination of the naval division, unless there were enough land turrets, it was simply impossible to prevent the landing of the Ming army.
Unfortunately, the Wa Kingdom did not have enough artillery and no land turrets to shoot at the Daming Naval Division.
In fact, in the case of the destruction of the naval division, unless pillboxes are built at every suitable landing point, equipped with enough artillery with a long enough range, otherwise in the face of the cannons of the battleships at sea, the army will not have the slightest power to fight back, you can't fight everyone's house, what can you do with people?
There are many such battles in history, and this is the result of the generational difference in weapons and tactics.
The battle went smoothly, and the Japanese in Fukuoka had no way to stop the Ming fleet, and soon Luo Shangzhi landed in Fukuoka with his people.
"Let's divide our soldiers into two ways!" Qi Jin looked at Yu Zhigao and said, "You take someone to transport the soldiers here, and I will go to the Maguan Strait, establish a stronghold there, block the connection between Kyushu Island and the main island of Wakoku, and at the same time prepare for the invasion of the main island." ”
Yu Zhigao nodded: "Okay!" ”
Yu Zhigao is not worried about the transportation of troops, now that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have no enemies in this water, they can transport troops with peace of mind. With the capacity of the naval warships, more than 100,000 people do not need to be transported for too long at all. The naval division is bound to divide the troops, which is very crucial, and the blockade of the Guanmen Strait is also crucial.
Over the next three days, the sailors began to transport troops to Fukuoka in the Wa Kingdom, and countless grains and grass were also transported to Tsushima Island and Fukuoka.
After occupying Fukuoka, Luo Shangzhi had already taken the Ming infantry team as the vanguard and began to advance towards Hizen Nagoya.
Hizen Nagoya.
As a base for the reserve army, there are a large number of Japanese soldiers here, but the atmosphere here is very bad. First, the news of the unfavorable situation in the Korean War came back, and the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army were destroyed one after another, and then Tsushima Island was lost, and the entire naval division was destroyed, and the Nine Demons Yoshitaka and Fujido Takatora were killed in battle.
Although there was some luck, everyone knew that the army that had entered Korea was unlucky.
Now the question is whether the Ming Dynasty will call, and once the Ming Dynasty comes, what will the Wa Kingdom do?
Now Hizen Nagoya is in charge of Maeda Toshiya, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's trusted minister, and as for Tokugawa Ieyasu, he is still in Nagoya and has not returned. A few days ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mother Daimasao died of illness, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a funeral for his mother, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was directly left in Nagoya.
Maeda Toshiie knew in his heart that this was the reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't trust Tokugawa Ieyasu, but he wasn't in the mood to think about it.
"General, someone from Fukuoka is here!"
Hearing that his samurai came to report, Maeda Toshiie's mood was clouded, and any information about Fukuoka, Maeda Toshiya would be very cautious. I don't know what is going on this time, Maeda Toshi's heart keeps praying, don't be Daming calling.
Soon a man walked in from outside, looking very embarrassed, with his helmet lost and blood stained on his body.
Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Maeda Toshiya's face changed: "Is something wrong?" ”
"The Daming Sailor attacked Fukuoka, Fukuoka was captured by the Daming Sailor, and the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty has landed from Fukuoka and is now heading here." The person who came didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and hurriedly spoke.
Hearing the other party's report, Maeda Toshi's eyes went black directly, and his body almost fainted, it's over!
Since the Ming Dynasty has opened it, it means that the Korean War has ended, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to fight it. Then there is no need to think about the result of the Korean War, nine legions, 150,000 people, plus the naval division, this war was defeated, what should I do now? Maeda Toshiya was a little panicked.
Although he is a famous daimyo in the Japanese country, he can fight since he was a child, but in the face of the current situation, Maeda Toshiya is really at a loss.
"Where have they been?" Maeda asked again.
"According to the speed of the Ming army, it will be there in seven days at the latest!"
Listening to the other party's answer, Maeda Toshi's face suddenly became more difficult, and after a while, Maeda Toshiya stood up, and at this time there was only one battle, and he couldn't sit here anymore, he had to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army was not ready, occupy the favorable terrain and fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.
