The Ninety-seventh Shogunate came to the rescue

Zheng Zhilong ordered the Fu Ship to watch on the side, and then ordered the Haicang Ship to help the injured Ming Ship first, or transfer the Ming army, or carry out simple repairs.

Some boats are actually just a hole in the deck, so they can simply be covered with a layer of planks. In case it is indeed incapacitated, it can only be dragged back for repairs after the battle is completed.

As for the Satsuma ship, which had lost its combat effectiveness, it ordered the crew to surrender by binding themselves, and if they did not obey, they were directly sunk by artillery bombardment. The Japanese who fell into the water asked if he was willing to surrender, if he was willing, he would pull him up, and if he was unwilling, he would directly use a fire gun to help him die of bliss as soon as possible.

In this naval battle, a total of thirteen ships of the Ming army were wounded, and more than 30 soldiers were killed and more than 100 were wounded. However, a total of 35 Satsuma feudal domains were left, and more than 2,000 Satsuma people were captured or killed, which is extremely rare no matter where they are placed.

Of course, first of all, the equipment of the Ming army was indeed stronger than that of the Satsuma Domain, and only two lucky ships damaged a total of twelve ships of the Satsuma Domain, but they themselves were unscathed, and there were no casualties among the crew.

The second reason is because pirates are good at naval warfare, and Zheng Zhilong is indeed a naval combat talent, always able to adopt the right countermeasures to minimize his own losses and deal a heavier blow to the enemy.

The chasing Ming Kaicang ships pursued them until the artillery on the shore began to bombard them unwillingly, and they left three more Satsuma ships, but Hisakama still escaped.

In this way, the Satsuma Domain's naval army lost a total of thirty-eight ships and more than 2,000 soldiers, and the elite of the Satsuma Naval Army can be said to have suffered heavy losses so far, and Kayama Hisakataka knelt in front of Shimazu Tadashi to plead guilty, Shimazu Tadashi sighed and said: "I can't blame you, they are indeed very strong." ”

He took two steps and said: "I don't know when the soldiers of the shogunate will come, but their waste, if they come, they may not be able to win against the Ming people, we have to think of some way." ”

At this time, his son Shimazu Mitsuhisa said: "Father, why don't we urge them again, so that they can't shirk." ”

Shimazu Tadashi shook his head and said, "As long as they want to delay, they will always find a reason." The shogunate didn't like us in the first place, so it was possible to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I'm afraid that in the end, I will watch and watch, but a dragon will come in, and it is unknown whether it will be able to clean up the situation at that time. ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa gritted his teeth and said, "Is the Tokugawa family so insidious? After all, we are all the emperor's courtiers. ”

Shimazu Tadashi smiled and said, "Emperor, what do they think of the emperor, do you still expect them to take care of this." ”

He thought for a while and said, "Go and urge it, as for whether they come or not is their business, it is our business whether to urge or not, and we must let them have nothing to say in the future." ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa nodded and left, and Shimazu Tadashi said to Kayama Hisaka, who was still kneeling: "Get up, how many more sailors do we have?" ”

Kayama Hisaka still knelt down and said: "We still have forty ships, but the soldiers have suffered too many losses this time, and I am afraid that we will not be able to organize an effective counterattack." ”

Shimazu Tadashi sighed, waved his hand, and slowly paced into the inner room. Birshan, Hisaka, kowtowed a few more times, then got up and slowly retreated.

In fact, Shimazu Tadashi had wronged the shogunate a little, and the army sent by Tokugawa Hidetada had already marched towards the Satsuma Domain, but they were stopped by Zhou Yuji.

After Zhou Yuji occupied Ajiune, he sent troops to conquer Izumi, which was twenty miles away from Ajiune. He set up guards in Izumi, and when the shogunate troops arrived, they sent information to Akune.

Zhou Yuji looked at the intelligence and muttered, the enemy army is about 4,000 people, and the equipment is worse than that of the Guards, these are all expected, but Zhou Yuji is worried that the shogunate will only go out with 4,000 people, is there any fear? Or is Yoro arrogant?

In fact, he was worried in vain, the Satsuma Domain was a feudal domain with a large number of Japanese troops and was more capable of fighting, and during the Warring States Period in Japan, the battle of a few thousand people was already a big scene, and the shogunate recruited the troops of several feudal clans to gather enough 7,000 people, and he could come here with 4,000, which was already very worthy of him.

In any case, the preparation that should be done still needs to be done. Zhou Yuji prepared to defend Ajiune to the death, using the weapon advantage of the guards and Ajiune's earthen enclosure to inflict greater damage on the shogunate army.

On this day, the shogunate army finally arrived outside Akune Castle. After a simple repair, Akune can barely be considered airy, but for people it is still a ladder to climb up.

However, a large number of artillery and guns were arranged on the city wall, and whether the ladders could be erected or not depended on whether they agreed or not. When the shogunate saw the muzzle of the black hole in the distance, they took a breath of cool air.

Led by Tokugawa Hidetada's son, Tokugawa Tadanaga, the lord of the Dainayan and Sunfu Domain, who had been at odds with Tokugawa Iemitsu, sent him to lead a group of 4,000 men from the Western daimyo to open the northern passage of the Satsuma Domain for the subsequent Japanese army to pass through.

Tokugawa Tadashi was young and heavy, so he was a little arrogant, and in his mind, fighting on Japanese soil and dealing with the Ming army was a piece of cake. So he directly ordered the Japanese to start the charge.

The Japanese army was fully charged, and there was no problem of stratification or keeping reserves at all, and 4,000 people pressed a city wall to fight, which caused a lot of pressure on the Ming army for a while.

Zhou Yuji knew that the Japanese were crazy, but he didn't expect them to be so crazy, so he could only urgently mobilize the Ming troops on the city wall from other directions to come to this side.

The Japanese army charged frantically, and every time the artillery fired a shot, it could knock down a large area, but the Japanese army was too numerous, and the artillery only fired one round of shells, and the Japanese army had already rushed to the city, and at this time the fire gun was only fired once, and it was being charged.

When the Japanese army came to the city wall, the people in front squatted down, and the people behind stepped on his shoulders, and then the people who squatted stood up, and the people above could climb the city walls.

Zhou Yuji shouted: "With a bayonet, with a bayonet." "Regardless of whether the gunpowder was loaded or not, they began to stab the enemy in front of them with bayonets.

It's just that there were too many Japanese troops at one time, and they stabbed one, and the other had already popped up, and they began to climb the wall, giving people a feeling of inexhaustible killing.

On the narrow city wall, the two armies began a bloody white-knuckle battle, at this time the total strength of the army is no longer meaningful, because no matter how many you are, you will not be able to spread it on this wall, you will only face one or two enemies, and you can only cooperate with one comrade to deal with the enemy at most.

This has already become a pure cold weapon battle. The Ming army had its own advantages, the advantage of the Ming army was that the bayonets were long and sharp, and the advantage of the Japanese army was that they were skilled in martial arts.
