Things in the city seem to be not to worry too much, Zhang Qiang took 1,500 people from the guard group to run to the wharf, the wharf is more than seven miles away from the county seat, and it took half an hour to run away, although the road is smooth, and all kinds of carriages can be walked, but now many people are walking, there are many sentry posts on both sides, patrols, and the wounded are being transferred back to the city, or put in a temporary camp.

Across the docks, rows of leveled houses have been blown into ruins by artillery fire from both sides, many ships are burning, many piles of food and supplies have been ignited, and thick smoke is billowing out.

The enemy guarded the fortifications of the dock, built their own fortifications, guarded the two streets coming out of the dock, and watched the enemy's firepower and flag arrangement in the place where the battle was being fought, and there were probably 10,000 people.

The southwest of the city is the current location of the wharf, and there is a small hill in the southeast, near the sea, where is part of the enemy's garrison, Feng Quan is leading a thousand sailors and marines, as well as three thousand militia and five hundred artillery to besiege the place.

At the intersection of the roads, a commander of the Guards Regiment was leading 1,500 officers and men of the Guards Regiment, as well as 3,000 militiamen and 500 marines of the Naval Division to attack the enemy's barricades.

On the other side, 1,000 officers and men of the Huaxia Army and Navy Division stationed here, together with 1,000 Xinlu Prefecture garrison soldiers, and 1,000 people, are forming a flanking situation against the enemy, and have already attacked the street from another direction, and dozens of people are guarding the wharf of the Huaxia Army Navy Division over there.

The flickering firelight in the distance looked like the enemy's fleet was trying to break through the defenses of the Sinlu Navy fleet from the sea, and came in to meet the enemy's exit.

And by the sea, groups of militia units with torches are converging towards the pier.

Standing on the third floor of a ruined dock management office, Zhang Qiang watched the battlefield with a telescope.

Fifteen hundred soldiers of the Guards arranged a defensive line around him, and the defensive line expanded to a thousand meters.

"Come on, take a company of 100 households to support the side of the Navy Division's wharf, and quickly form a breakthrough. You can borrow the naval guns of our sailors and use flowering shells to bombard the enemy. Zhang Qiang said to a captain of the pro-guard team beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The captain of the pro-guard team quickly took his men down to transfer troops.

After a while, he ran towards the dock of the Huaxia Army Sailor and took over the command of the place.

As mentioned earlier, the leader of a pro-guard regiment is actually delegated to the following, and his position should be at least an important official position such as a D-level field brigade, or the garrison commander of the garrison regiment, so a pro-guard regiment captain is actually very capable, and his status is extremely noble, no one will not accept the command, and besides, they take Zhang Qiang's warrant to take over the troops, so there must be no problem.

Soon, the artillery rumbled over there, and three nine-pounder guns formed a platoon of guns in the open area of the enemy to shell the enemy who was blocked by the militia on the attacking team, and the Chinese Army Marine Corps behind them did not have many soldiers stationed there, they were responsible for organizing the attack, and they had to be on the defensive due to the disadvantage in numbers, but later the militia joined, they had attacked several times, and the militia lost several hundred people, but it only broke through some barricades, and could not destroy the enemy.

With the addition of the militia on the coastal fortifications, they had a certain advantage in strength, and immediately attacked the corner of the pier, and the enemy continued to send troops back to plug the gap, and now a tug-of-war is forming.

With the addition of artillery, or flowering shells, the situation was different immediately, one by one the barricades were blown into the sky, and the enemy's ranks continued to collapse, until later they frantically fled to the dock, and the Chinese Army Marine Division rushed up with a small number of soldiers with two thousand militiamen, pressing the enemy to other battlefields, especially on the dock.

Affected by this side, the enemy did not want to be flanked by the left and right, so he could only abandon the barricades and retreat into the dock, so the militia troops led by the Guards on that side quickly advanced, and soon blocked the enemy to the dock, recovering the streets of the dock, and the two sides were far away from each other by a lot of cargo warehouses on the dock, as well as loading and unloading equipment.

At this time, the battle on Feng Quan's side also fell into a low morale because of the retreat of the enemy's side, so Feng Quan seized the opportunity to use the numerical advantage to repel more than 300 meters, many people retreated directly to the beach behind, and some people still relied on the mountain to resist.

Zhang Qiang immediately sent another captain of the personal guard team to take a hundred households of soldiers and horses to the camp of the Navy Division to adjust the artillery, and in less than half an hour, the cannon of the Navy Division camp was pulled out again, and more than a dozen cannons fired in unison, and the enemy collapsed over there, and Feng Quan's soldiers immediately went to slash and shoot the enemy, and soon that side was suppressed.

Feng Quan came to the official office with his own guards, and handed over the command to the captain of the personal guard sent by Zhang Qiang.

So the pressure of the enemy on the dock increased again, Feng Quan led the 4,000 soldiers and horses under the leadership of the captain of the pro-guard team to reinforce this side, and the situation changed, nearly 4,000 Huaxia Army, 6,000 Xinlu Fu militia pressed to the dock together, and the 2,000 coastal defense militia that came from there were also from the other end by the officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Army Navy Division stationed in the attack on the enemy.

Feng Quan came to Zhang Qiang's side.

Zhang Qiang glanced back at him, Feng Quan immediately said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen deserves to die, he was attacked by the enemy, lost 300,000 quintals of grain, 1 million quintals of various materials, the wharf was almost destroyed, more than 10,000 civilians on the wharf died, more than 30,000 people fled, where did 1,000 militiamen die in the city, 2,000 casualties, 3,000 people were captured, 3,600 enemies were killed, 500 people died, 700 people were injured, the city gate tower was blown down, the city gate was damaged, and the county town of Kagoshima lost a total of nearly 5 million Chinese yuan. ”

"Do you know how many troops the enemy has to sneak attack, and who led the team?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Feng Quan wiped his sweat, "Your Majesty, on the other side of the beach is a general of the original Lu State, named Su Mufeng, he led people to sneak attack Kagoshima County in Japan before, and the naval cannon destroyed the Miyagi where the Japanese Kagoshima Daimyo General lived, and now the place in Miyagi is still in ruins, it should have been the descendant of the third prince, I don't know why he didn't follow the third prince later, and then it is said that he followed the eldest prince, but this time he followed the second prince's men to attack Kagoshima County." ”

"Oh, he's a talent, but Mingzhu's secret investment, and his temperament to switch sides at this moment is too contemptible, how is he now?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Feng Quan said: "Now that he has been killed, the head was brought by Weichen." ”

Seeing that Feng Quan wanted someone to present this person's head, Zhang Qiang hurriedly waved his hand, what are you doing, it's dark now, in the dim candlelight, looking at a dead head, even Zhang Qiang, who is used to killing, doesn't want to watch a bloody head at this time, "Take it, verify the body, tomorrow the head of Kagoshima dock, three days later, with the corpse broken bones and ashes, scattered into the sea." ”

It is said that this person is a good man, for Lu Guo, at least he can take the fleet to attack the Japanese when Japan provokes, destroy one of the enemy's palaces, and kill countless enemy soldiers and thousands of people, but for the current Huaxia Army, such a person is the enemy, the less the better, killing a fierce general like him can improve the morale of our army.

Between the words, the situation at the dock was already very clear, and many Japanese began to jump into the sea one after another to escape, but how could they escape, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gradually approaching on the shore, it is said that there are also several warships deliberately left by Zhang Qiang on the sea that are constantly attacking the enemy on the dock with artillery, although it is a solid bullet, it can also cause psychological pressure on the enemy.
