In the early morning of June 29, 1579, our navy arrived off the coast of Satsuma, the southernmost point of Japan.

The purpose of this time was to land, and it was known in advance that the inner castle and several ports near Kagoshima had been blocked, so it would be a mistake to use the big ships again, so it was mainly for the convenience of the infantry to go ashore. Besides, it is not far from Funai to Satsuma, and there is no problem at all in dealing with the few sailors in Satsuma.

The morning sun had already turned white on the eastern sea, and the oncoming sea breeze was still quite cool, and I walked back and forth on the deck in full gear, inspecting the ashigaru who had stayed quietly on the deck waiting to come ashore.

I don't know if I'm used to the grandeur and magnanimity of "Hinomaru", but I always feel a little aggrieved about this ironclad ship belonging to the first cluster, and I came to the end in a few hurried steps, giving people a very unpleasant feeling. In fact, this ship is not small, except for the "Hinomaru" and "Tsukinomaru", it is already a first-class warship in Japan.

"Lord!" Seeing me coming over, Yoshitsugu Otani, who was assigning tasks to some low-level generals, greeted me. "Our army has been cleaned up, just wait for the lord's order!" He pointed to me at the black patch behind him.

"It's all up to you this time, come on!" I tapped him on the shoulder, and another general could be on his own. Time flies so fast, it's been almost 10 years in the blink of an eye, but in detail, his age is not yet thirty years old. I'm thinking about the candidates for the guardianship of the Kyushu countries after this time, and it seems that there will still be a fierce competition.

"Please rest assured, the lord will definitely take the inner city before evening!" Yoshitsugu Otani replied proudly that this was the first time he had served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

"The siege will take less than four hours, are you sure?" I asked rhetorically with a smile. It's not that I don't trust him, it's that I want to try his plans.

"Wei Chen has carefully studied the information sent by the lord, and he is still sure of asking himself!" Otani Yoshitsuji pressed the hilt of his sword and glanced at the soldiers beside him, as if he had strengthened his confidence. "Although the inner city is large, there are not many soldiers, and although the soldiers are brave, it is difficult for the people to resist. As long as the situation doesn't change too much, then I can be sure that I can break their sequence in a very short time, and breaking the city is also probing! ”

"It's great to be able to do that!" After nodding with satisfaction, I said to Kamiya Shiyuan, who was following me, "Then you have to be more careful, don't delay in landing!" ”

"Wechen has been repeatedly checked, and it will not be a problem to log in for a period of time!" Kamiya Shiyuan's eyes were a little red, and he had indeed slept less these days. "About half of the ships this time are light, and landing on the coast will save a lot of time. Although the preparation time is a little short, Wechen has already trained all the dinghy sailors to work together. As he spoke, he stole into the distance. One more meal away from the landing site, please watch the performance of our navy! ”

"Oh!" I also looked in that direction, and although the light was still a little foggy, I could already see the general scene. It was a sandy beach of about two or three square kilometers, relatively flat, with a slope in front but not very high, and a few trees growing sparsely on it. "What's that place called?" I asked as I watched.

"It's called 'Clutch Pool', a place that doesn't have much reputation!" He looked at me in surprise, and then I remembered that I had received a report the day before. "The landing ground here is relatively wide, and although the slow slope of the beach makes it impossible for large ships to approach, fortunately, our army also has a considerable number of small and medium-sized wooden boats. The main point is that there are no villages nearby, so it is less likely to be discovered, and it is easy to achieve unexpected goals! The inner city was only eight miles away, and even if they found out right away, they wouldn't have time to prepare. ”

"Good...... Good! "I suddenly found that my brain was very dizzy these days, and all my energy was attracted by the struggle for the power of Kyushu after the war. Fortunately, my generals are very professional, otherwise it would be easy to make jokes. "Why didn't the ninja who answered so close still not come, this is too negligent!" I suddenly noticed this and couldn't help but frown.

"Before I left yesterday evening, I came to check with me in person...... "Kamiya Shimoto said, and Otani Yoshitsugu nodded in agreement." The Shimazu family confiscated all the ships, and it was no longer realistic for them to go directly to the sea to meet them. If there are too many people on this coast before we arrive, it is easy to attract the attention of others and leak the news. Therefore, I have checked various matters one by one with my companion Shin-sama, and the only person who responds on the spot is to let them grasp it according to the situation! ”

"Do that...... That's good! "I looked down and thought about it carefully, it was indeed right to be cautious, Satsuma and Osumi had reached the point where they were all soldiers at this moment, and any slightest clue could be detected by the enemy. Let's do it yourself! The inner city is a big place, and I'm not afraid of not finding it.

As they talked, the fleet approached the beach, and the ships in front of them were already occasionally rubbing sand on the bottom. Although this time it was mainly small boats, no matter how small it was, it was enough to transport troops, and it had to stop more than 200 meters away, and as for the two ironclad ships, it had to stop 300 meters away.

All the boats had dropped anchor and each began to lower his dinghy for landing, and by this time it was dawn, and I leaned over the side to take a closer look at the situation. "Oh?" To the west, I saw a small promontory inserted into the sea, and it was actually a small hill with lush greenery. "No wonder the water is so calm! What is the place there? I asked.

"It's a no-man's land, and it doesn't even have a name!" Seeing that the first person had arrived safely on the shore, Kamiya Shiyuan took a long breath and relaxed a lot, loosening his tense facial muscles and said to me, "But although this cape is not famous, it is not small at all. Bypassing there, you can see the shadow of the inner city in the distance, so it is it that makes us silently under the nose of the inner city! ”

"Oh, I see!" I immediately understood, otherwise how could there be such a good place. It seems that God is helping me, so how can I not succeed?

"My lord! I'm going to pass, do you have any other commands? At this time, Yoshitsugu Otani, who had just gone to clean up again, walked back, and he had already tidied up tightly.

"Hmm...... Good! "I looked at him and then at the shore, and by this time there were about a thousand people ashore. Because this is a coordinated action of several troops, and this is an unconventional method of warfare, a little confusion cannot be avoided, so it is necessary for individuals to hurry over and preside over the overall situation. "Be careful yourself, don't be soft at critical moments!" I told you carefully.

"Yes, don't worry, lord!" He said yes and climbed down the rope ladder, followed by soldier after soldier.

I watched as his dinghy stretched out and sailed toward the shore, where there was another opportunity to accomplish my work.

There were more and more troops on the coast, but order gradually settled down, and several of the main generals came ashore and briefly bumped heads, and then began to gather their own men. With the goal of several tall horse prints, the ashigaru who landed in batches also had a direction to gather. Gradually, the number of people has reached about 7,000 people, and the prototype of several sequences has been basically formed!

"Alright, it's time for me to go too!" I straightened my helmet and walked towards the gangway with my saber in hand, and the ashigaru people who were waiting there in turn consciously made way for me. It was such a good feeling that I could hear in my ears the voice "Let Comrade Lenin go first!" Shouting.

"Lord, don't be in such a hurry!" Kamiya Shiyuan was a little anxious. Although he didn't dare to pull me directly like Keiji Maeda and Ke'er Caizang, he still stood in front of me. Here he is the only general who can go up a certain level, so he is the only one who can say this.

"What else could be wrong with this, isn't it already in place!" I flicked my jaw towards the bustling shore, and said, "Now that the commanders of the armies have basically arrived, I will not be able to affect the morale of the troops!" ”

"This ......" My words were indeed very reasonable, and he could no longer find a reason to stop it, so he had to compromise and say: "Please be more careful yourself!" Please come over here, and I'll gather two more dinghys to guard the lord around! ”

"Good!" I don't think that's a problem.

"Wait!" The warbler, who had been following me, suddenly grabbed Ah Xue. "This time, I will protect His Highness ashore, and you can arrange the follow-up personal soldiers to come as soon as possible!" As she spoke, she took a step forward and said.

"This ...... All right! Although Ah Xue was not very reluctant, she couldn't help but listen to Ying's words. Although her background is better than that of Ying, Yingying is the first to get started and the most cared for by Xianzhi, and it is indeed more suitable for her to command the pro-army team.

We went up to the dinghy, and in addition to the warbler and I were six guards, and two sailors who were holding the boat, one at one end and one at the end. There were six other small boats in front of and on the left and right to escort the march, and they were all my own soldiers.

"Kyushu...... You're mine! "Looking at the army on the shore, I have a feeling of being in charge.

Suddenly, there was a small confusion in an area on the shore, where dozens of people made a loud noise, although it was a beachhead in the midst of the landing of the army, but this was too much!

"Your Highness! It seems that something has happened earlier, so let's go back first, shall we? The warbler also immediately noticed the situation and said with some nervousness.

"Several armies will meet, this is inevitable!" Ying is a woman after all, and I comforted her casually. But I'm also a little awkward in my heart, the people in these places are really worrying. "Hurry up!" I urged impatiently.

But the people above didn't understand me at all, not only did the generals not stop it, but the noise became louder and louder, and the chaos has developed to more than a dozen places, and the scope of the spread is getting wider and wider, and the exclamations and shouts are coming and going.

"Your Highness, it's really wrong!" The warbler is really anxious this time.

"I ......"

Before I could finish this word, there was a "Boom!" from my side. "There was a loud bang......
