Chapter 296: Assault is not the best strategy

By the time Tokugawa Tadanaga arrived in Nagasaki, it had been two days since he had become unkempt in his manners.

The originally fair skin was also covered with dust, and the moment he saw Nagasaki Castle, Tokugawa Tadanaga almost cried.

The two days of marching made him suffer, and when he came across some small villages, he was able to grab some food.

However, when encountering the city, he could only walk around the city, and due to the hurry of departure, he did not carry a tent. At night, he could only sleep in the wilderness, and the mosquitoes along the way made him suffer.

Not seeing Nagasaki Castle for a moment, he felt that it was all worth it. As long as he drove out the pirates, he would be the first choice to succeed him as a general.

I'm afraid that Tokugawa Iemitsu's hairy child hasn't gathered all the soldiers at this moment! Two days was enough time for him to take Nagasaki, and he was afraid that he would lead a symbolic attack on the pirate and retreat.

Four days was enough time for the pirates to sweep Nagasaki away, and there was no reason for the pirates to stay and fight with themselves.

Therefore, Tokugawa Tadanaga did not even set up a large camp, and directly led people to appear outside Nagasaki City. When they saw the black skull flag flying high above Nagasaki Castle, they couldn't help but look puzzled.

"The pirates didn't run away?" This question arose in the hearts of all the Japanese people.

Zhang Dou did not withdraw, not that he wanted to smash the shogunate's reinforcements. Instead, he didn't have time to take away the craftsmen of Nagasaki, and the craftsmen of the Wa Kingdom were somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty.

Every craftsman inherits his father's business, and his children and grandchildren will always be craftsmen in this industry. So their craftsmanship is exquisite, and the things they make are exceptionally sophisticated.

These skilled craftsmen are exactly what Jang Doo desperately needs, and with their joining, he will be able to establish a larger production base on Jeju Island as soon as possible.

Only with an industrial base can we fight against the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, can we face greater challenges in the future, and can we not be afraid of the blockade of the imperial court.

Therefore, the craftsmen of Nagasaki were determined to win, and during the first two days of looting, Zhang Dou did not have the idea of beating these craftsmen, making the craftsmen think that the target of the pirates was nothing more than some property.

It wasn't until the third day that the pirates began to count the craftsmen, and they panicked. Under the coercion of the death brigade, more than 2,000 craftsmen were driven to Jeju Island by sea.

As soon as these craftsmen were transported, reinforcements from Tokugawa Tadanaga arrived at the castle. The appearance of Tokugawa Tadanaga surprised Zhang Dou, who did not expect the shogunate to come so quickly.

Nagasaki was the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate, so how could it be possible to get here so quickly from Edo? But the shogunate reinforcements had already appeared, and it was too late to evacuate. The only way to do this is to give it a go and repel the shogunate reinforcements first!

Yan Siqi heard that the shogunate reinforcements had arrived and came to Zhang Dou's temporary residence, and when he entered the study, he immediately said, "Handsome! Shogunate reinforcements have arrived, when will we retire? ”

Hu Tieniu stood behind Zhang Dou and said disdainfully: "What retreat? Isn't it just a wolf! It's just a runaway! Yan Siqi, if you are afraid, withdraw first! ”

One of his sentences said that in Yan Siqi's lungs, Yan Siqi himself is the leader of the Japanese Bandits, and now he is being named and faced, "Huh!" "All of a sudden, it turned red.

He bowed down and said, "Handsome! Yan was forced by the government to go to sea as a thief, but he was never afraid of the shogunate Yan! Please also ask the marshal to allow Yan to go out of the city and fight with the shogunate reinforcements! ”

Zhang Douyi waved his hand and said, "Ship Master Yan wants to listen to this ramming nonsense!" If there is something to offend, please include it more than the owner of the ship! ”

Hearing Zhang Dou's words, Yan Siqi said repeatedly, "Don't dare!" Can't! ”

"The trip to Nagasaki was very fruitful, but it would take a lot of people to develop a sparsely populated area. Ship Owner Yan won't just take his men to kill Australia, right? Zhang Dou's words made Yan Siqi stunned.

In the past, he was thinking about how to develop Taiyuan Island, but he was short of manpower and went to the mainland to summon some displaced people. But now it's different, Australia is far from the mainland. Once there is a lack of manpower, it is too time-consuming to go back and forth to the mainland, and it is easy to be robbed by people on the sea route.

The Japanese are also a good choice, as long as they are pulled to distant Australia, life and death are in their own hands, and they are not afraid that the Japanese will not work hard.

......

The army led by Tokugawa Tadanaga consisted of only 10,000 men, and storming Nagasaki was the last option. And they came in a hurry, and they did not carry siege equipment. If you attack the castle in a hurry, you may not be able to build a strong Nagasaki Castle.

While he ordered people to test the pirates of Nagasaki Castle, he also had people hurry to build siege equipment. After a while, a group of 1,000 samurai came towards Nagasaki Castle, and as they walked, they shouted, "Listen to the pike inside, Shogun Tokugawa Ietada led his troops to quell the rebellion, and if you don't open the castle and surrender, you will be driven out and killed!" ”

Lan Guitian was a little funny watching the shogunate's clumsy performance below at the head of the city, such an army also wanted the Changxing army to surrender? I didn't wake up from a daydream!

He said to Liu Xitian beside him: "Old Liu! Give a few blows to the widows below to save them from being frivolous! ”

"Okay! Just look at it! Liu Xitian agreed, and went to the side to command.

As soon as the samurai ashigaru reached the moat, they saw the cannon fire at the head of the castle. More than a dozen artillery pieces spewed flames at them, and a dense burst of lead bullets swept through the crowd, and hundreds of Japanese were knocked to the ground in an instant.

The firebolts on the city's head also fired one after another, and the power of the flint firebolts at such a close distance was unmistakable. Samurai Ashigaru was constantly defeated, and the remaining Japanese people no longer dared to stay under the castle and ran back in a swarm.

Tokugawa Tadanaga, who was watching the battle from a distance, gritted his teeth, "Giggle!" He didn't expect Haikou's land firepower to be so strong.

The pirates at the head of the city had few bows and arrows, and all they used were iron cannons. Moreover, these iron cannons were obviously superior to those made by the Japanese people, and their range exceeded that of bows and arrows.

The power of the big cylinder on the head of the castle is also very huge, and it is almost on par with the large cylinder of the Franc machine man. Where did these pirates come from? This question has kept him confused!

Shusuke Matsukura also frowned, and lost more than 300 samurai Ashigaru in just one tentative attack. If he were to attack the city, how much damage would his men have?

"Tokugawa-sama! Nagasaki Castle was unusually strong, and it was not the best strategy to storm it. In Shusuke's opinion, it is best to contact the samurai in the city, and then the way to break the city is to cooperate with the outside! Shusuke Matsukura carefully suggested beside Tokugawa Tadanaga.

"Hmm!" Tokugawa Tadanaga also agreed with Shusuke Matsukura's idea, but what he lacked most was time.

"Give you a day, and tomorrow you won't be able to contact the people in the city. I can only attack it, and the honor of the Tokugawa family is guarded by Matsukura-kun, please! After Tokugawa Tadanaga finished speaking, he bowed to Shusuke Matsukura.

Shusuke Matsukura didn't dare to take it off, and hurriedly bowed in return. That night, he sent his most capable ninja to infiltrate Nagasaki Castle and contact the samurai of the various clans in the city.

"Is it really Tokugawa Tadashi who led reinforcements to arrive? Great, it's time to make these evil-doers pay the price! ”
