Chapter 378: The Satsuma Clan Rebels

Zheng Zhilong finally said that Amakusa Shiro and other leaders of the rebel army were also very aware of their situation, and they had no other way to go except to cooperate with the Satsuma Domain.

On January 30, an army of 30,000 from the Ryukyus, led by Wang Yingshen, arrived in the Ariake Sea by boat. After landing in the Ariake Sea, Wang Yingxian's army hid its tracks and sneaked all the way to Shimahara. At this moment, the army of the Shimabara Domain had all been transferred to Shimabara, and everyone's attention was on Shimabara, and they didn't notice that another army of the Satsuma Domain was rushing to Shimabara.

Along the way, Wang Yingshen also met some ordinary people, and in order to hide his whereabouts, all these ordinary people were executed by Wang Yingshen.

On the second day of the second month of February, Wang Yingxian's 30,000-strong army arrived near the island. Yang Tiansheng was also holding the last military meeting before the war among the generals of the army at this moment.

"Li De, you lead an army of 10,000 to directly take the army of the Fukuoka Domain." Yang Tiansheng ordered.

"No." In the army of the Satsuma Domain, the Ming army accounted for sixty percent, and the generals reached more than ninety percent, which made the Satsuma Domain follow the military system of the Ming army.

"Hong Sheng, you lead an army of 10,000 to take the army of the Kumamoto Domain." Yang Tiansheng then ordered.

"No."

"I personally led 10,000 people to take the Chinese army camp of Matsudaira Nobutsuna." Yang Tiansheng said.

"Second brother, where has Wang Yingshen's army arrived?" Li De asked.

"We have arrived near the island plain, and tonight with the fire as the signal, Wang Ying will lead a large army to meet the fire in the barracks." Yang Tiansheng said.

"Where will Wang Yingxian's army attack from?" Li De then asked.

"According to the agreement, his army will be divided into two parts, one will intercept the rout on the periphery, and the other will break through from the southeast to attack the large camp of Matsudaira Nobutsuna." Yang Tiansheng explained.

After Yang Tiansheng finished speaking, he continued: "This battle is related to the great cause of our army, and no one is allowed to relax at all. There are two things that must be remembered: first, remember to tie a strip of white cloth on your arm to prevent accidental injury to your own people; Second, we must remember to send an order to the whole army tonight and wait for orders at any time. ”

"No."

At this time, the army led by Wang Yingshen was also taking advantage of the night to approach the camp of the coalition army. Matsudaira Nobutsuna's strategy was used properly, and it can be said that he had won the battle to suppress the Shimabara Uprising, and the Shimabara Castle was almost exhausted, and the siege had been under siege for several days, and the entire coalition army had slackened.

And the Shimabara rebels who were trapped in Shimabara Castle were also watching the movements outside the city tonight. Zheng Zhilong and Amakusa Shiro also sat together without undressing, waiting for news outside the city.

When he was a child, Hong Sheng's 10,000 army was launched first, followed by Li De's army, and finally Yang Tiansheng's army.

When Hongsheng's army approached the camp of the Kumamoto domain's army, it was discovered by the defenders who were patrolling the camp at night.

"Who's coming?" The night guard shouted.

"We are the army of the Satsuma Domain, and we were ordered by the general to raid Shimabara Castle at night." Hong Sheng replied in a hurry.

"It seems to be the army of the Satsuma Domain." Taking advantage of the firelight, the defenders who were patrolling the night could barely see the incoming army more than 300 meters away, which seemed to be the army of the Satsuma Domain.

"This is the military camp of the Kumamoto Domain, and you are not allowed to come any closer." The Night Watchman replied.

"There is no moon tonight, we are lost, and we don't know which direction to go from to Shimabara Castle?" Hong Sheng asked.

"Your Satsuma Domain's military camp is only ten miles away from Shimabara Castle, so can you go wrong? You should go north. The Night Watchman laughed.

"You must not come any closer, or we will shoot." During the conversation, Hongsheng's men and horses were already just over 200 meters away from the Kumamoto Domain's main camp, and one of the defenders on night patrol noticed that the Satsuma Domain's army was getting closer and immediately warned him.

"Okay, let's go." Hong Sheng said. After Hong Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately ordered softly: "Da Lang, attack immediately." ”

"No."

Seeing Hong Sheng turn around, the night patrol defenders were about to leave, when suddenly a group of men and horses rushed out of the night, they held grenades, and threw them at the group of night patrol defenders.

After a few "boom, boom......" A gap was blown open in the fence of the Kumamoto Domain's military camp, and the night patrol guards just now were smashed to pieces, and several people were killed when they arrived.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......" A burst of exclamation rang out from the barracks of the Kumamoto domain.

"Chong, rush in with me and take Zhuang Lin's head." Hong Sheng's long knife waved and shouted loudly.

And Zhuang Lin, who was asleep, was awakened at this moment, "What happened?" ”

At this moment, Zhuang Lin's single-minded guards didn't know what was happening, only that there was an enemy attack, "My lord, the enemy attack." ”

"Where did the enemy attack come from?" Zhuang Lin asked as he got dressed.

"The enemy attack came from the northeast of the barracks, and the situation is unknown now." The guard replied.

At this moment, someone stumbled in, "My lord, the Satsuma clan has rebelled, and Li Dezheng is leading a large army to attack our army's camp." ”

"I said a long time ago that the wolf son of the Satsuma Domain is ambitious and cannot be trusted, and today he really rebelled." Zhuang Lin said viciously, "You go with me to kill the Satsuma Domain. ”

This time is the time to sleep, except for the night patrol soldiers, most of the others are sleeping, when Li De's army attacked the military camp of the Kumamoto Domain, many people did not know what was happening, the army of the Kumamoto Domain was unable to organize an effective counterattack at all, and the situation was only slightly stabilized after Zhuang Lin came forward single-mindedly.

Although the army of the Kumamoto clan was temporarily unable to resist the menacing Hongsheng army, it was able to organize some effective resistance.

At this moment, Li De's army had also invaded the Fukuoka Domain. Li De was luckier than Hongsheng, and his army was not detected by the troops of the Fukuoka Domain until he officially launched the attack. Compared to the Kumamoto Domain, the Fukuoka Domain experienced civil strife and its military power was much worse than that of the Kumamoto Domain.

After Li De's army rushed into the military camp of the Fukuoka Domain, he encountered almost no decent resistance, and he was overwhelmed along the way, and Li De led the army to set fire to the Fukuoka Domain's army while massacring the Fukuoka Domain's army, and the commander of the Fukuoka Domain was easily taken down by Li De.

And Yang Tiansheng's army also invaded Matsudaira Nobutsuna's military camp, although Matsudaira Nobutsuna was quite strategic, but in the face of the sudden attack of the Satsuma Domain, he also lost his previous calm, and the first thing he thought of was to retreat. He knew that there were 30,000 Satsuma clan troops in the coalition army, and now the entire military camp was on fire everywhere, and he subconsciously thought that the rebel army of Satsuma Domain and Shimahara Castle had colluded, and escape was the first plan he thought of.
