Chapter 362: The Battle for the Destruction of the City

After the military meeting, He Sansheng invited Shi Lang, commander of the Sixth Regiment of the Second Marine Division of the Navy, who was a member of the former Zheng Jiajun and had rich experience in naval operations; as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Marine Corps, he was transferred from the First Fleet of the Navy to the Marine Corps Brigade as a lieutenant colonel and battalion deputy.

The purpose of He Sansheng inviting Shi Lang was to send him to the "chaotic army" mainly established by the militia, which was formed by Zheng Zhilong, and it would be more convenient to send Shi Lang over.

"Commander Shi, I heard that you and Zheng Chenggong still have some minor contradictions, this time I sent you back to your old army to be a liaison officer, are you willing?" As soon as they met, He Sanxing asked.

Shi Lang said: "The emperor also knows the contradiction between me and Zheng Chenggong, and the emperor has criticized me and asked me to grasp the direction on the major issues of right and wrong, so I have already taken the initiative to reconcile with Zheng Chenggong in private." ”

Historically, Shi Lang was Zheng Zhilong's subordinate general, and Zheng Chenggong's right-hand man, because Zheng Chenggong's subordinate Zeng De offended Shi Lang, Shi Lang offended Zheng Chenggong by killing Zeng De, and Zheng Chenggong was angry and killed Shi Lang's family, making Shi Lang and the Zheng family enemies.

Due to the crossing of the high mountains, he found Shi Lang to talk to Shi Lang at the beginning of the conflict between Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong in time, and transferred Shi Lang away from Zheng Chenggong's First Fleet of the Navy.

"That's very good." He Sansheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Because there are many generals on the militia side that you are familiar with, so send you to them as a liaison officer, your first task is to ask them to send some people who are familiar with the terrain of Saga to the headquarters, we need a group of guides that we can trust." ”

Shi Lang saluted He Sanxing and said, "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

"Okay, you go now, our troops need to think about it!"

After Shi Lang left, He Sansheng invited the chief of staff to study the attack on Chikuzen with him.

The occupation of Saga was entirely the credit of Zheng Zhilong, who took more than 20,000 Zheng family troops and tens of thousands of militiamen, as well as more than 10,000 recruited island country ronin, under the banner of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and easily took Saga and Kumamoto, and they did not have too fierce conflicts with the local people, because the local people did not know that they were Huaxia's army.

However, in the northern Aomori siege battle, the Northern Army successively invested the strength of five Korean divisions and three artillery regiments, and it took 11 days to carry out a major battle to destroy the city, sacrificing 800 Korean soldiers to break through Aomori.

The news that He San Province received from the Northern Command was that because of the resistance of the whole people in Aomori, after the city was broken, it had become a ruin, and the corpses in the city were all over the field, and there was no trace of people.

Ho Sansheng was worried that the lord of the Chikuzen domain would follow the example of Tsugaru Shinkomasa.

The lord of the Chikuzen Domain is called Kuroda Mitsuyuki, the third lord of the Chikuzen Domain, 28 years old this year, is a feudal lord in the prime of life, he has 22,000 troops, and the generals include Inoue Nofubo, Kogawa Nobunaki, Suga Masatoshi, Kinusa Keinobu, Kiriyama Nobuyuki, Kuno Shikatsu, Kuroda Issei, Kuriyama Riyasu, Kuroda Toshitaka, Kuroda Toshinori, Kuroda Naoyuki, Geya Takehisa, Goto Keiji, Takemori Jisada, Noguchi Issei, Nomura Yukatsu, Hayashi Naotoshi, Hara Tane, Hori Masakatsu, Masashi Masuda, Miyake Iemata, Musato Yoshiji, Musato Tomonobu, Nagatoshi Yoshida.

These 24 people are known as the "Kuroda Twenty-Four Horsemen", and among the 24 people, Inoue Nobo, Kuriyama Rian, Kuroda Issei, Kuroda Ritaka, Kuroda Toshinori, Kuroda Naoyuki, Goto Keiji, and Musato Yunobu are also known as the "Kuroda Eight Tigers".

Kuroda Mitsuyuki has so many generals under his command, so he is not afraid of the army of the Huaxia Kingdom, he led his 22,000 elite soldiers to quell the Fukuoka Rebellion, in his eyes, the army of the Huaxia Kingdom is no different from the rebellious people of the island country, he wants to use the victory aura of pacifying the rebellious people, ready to give the Huaxia army a hard blow, and show the strength of their Kuroda family in front of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Of course, He Sansheng didn't know Kuroda's thoughts, even if Kuroda Mitsuyuki followed Tsugaru's example and used the people of the entire Chikuzen Domain as cannon fodder, he couldn't resist the advance of the Huaxia Army.

On February 15, 1656, it was a dark and windy night, and Shi Guangming, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 201st Division, led his regiment as a frontal assault regiment and took the lead in advancing to Kinshiki Castle Mountain.

Shi Guangming was the little friend who cooperated with Liu Wenxiu in Bozhou and killed the Gucheng County Order, his nickname was Shi Wa, after killing the county commander Ruan Zhitian, he followed Liu Wenxiu to Gao Jun Mountain, in the Gao Jun Mountain team, after a hundred battles, he is now a famous pioneer regiment leader.

That's right, the 2nd Regiment of the 201st Division was awarded the Pioneer Regiment, a title won on the battlefield in Burma, and now the regiment is about to gallop and fight on the land of the island nation.

"Commander, this vest is for you to put on." Liu Jinguo, the commander of the third battalion, held a sheepskin vest in his hand.

Liu Jinguo was the second dog back then, and now he is the captain battalion commander, and he and Shi Guangming and Liu Wenxiu are all friends who have played together since childhood. Because Shi Guangming's left rib was injured and ached from the wind and cold, Liu Jinguo knew his brother best, so he prepared a sheepskin vest for Shi Guangming.

Shi Guangming gratefully took the sheepskin vest handed to him by Liu Jinguo and said, "Thank you, Camp Commander Liu, you still remember my pain." ”

Liu Jinguo said: "Don't be polite, head of the regiment, I am your brother, of course I will not forget the pain you have suffered." ”

Shi Guangming said: "Don't say much, you should hurry up and return to the team!" ”

Liu Jinguo said: "Second brother, don't worry, I'm a scud, I can catch up with the team no matter how far the team goes." You'd better put on the vest first, and I'll be relieved! ”

"Good, good! I'll put it on right away. Shi Guangming said as he put on the sheepskin vest, and after putting it on, he said, "It's warm, it's too warm." ”

Liu Jinguo saluted Shi Guangming with confidence this time: "I drove the troops." ”

"Let's go!" Shi Guangming nodded.

The three battalions led by Liu Jinguo were the vanguard battalions in this operation, and their battalion was at the forefront of the whole regiment. Because of his frequent marches and battles, he has developed the skills of Scud.

After bidding farewell to the regimental commander, Liu Jinguo led his two guards to pursue his troops.

The battalion commander was a scud, and he was not far from being a guard, and in the night, the three of them hurried forward.

The third battalion did not go far, after a hillside, Liu Jinguo saw the shadow of the three battalion team in front, he was familiar with his team, at night, as long as he looked at the posture of walking, he knew who this person was, he just had this ability, the whole battalion of more than 600 people, he could basically distinguish it.

"Take two quick steps, we've caught up with the troops." Liu Jinguo turned around and said to the two guards who were left behind.
