Shimazu had been attacking for a long time, and most of the defenders of Kifu Castle had reluctantly given up resistance, except for a small number of them who fled to Dazaifu.

It only took a day and a half to conquer the two cities, especially the light capture of Jiyi City, which deeply shocked the three generals Zhang Hongfan, Oluchi and Li Heng - except for the Japanese troops defending the city, there were no casualties in this battle!

The prince has such a divine weapon, what other city in the world can stop the prince? Zhang Gui and Ali Hague are just a small test, if one day, the prince waves his army north, how should they deal with themselves?

The army stayed for one night, and after passing the castle, there was a flat river in front of it, and there was no more danger that Dazaifu could stop.

Zhang Hongfan and the others will travel for an hour and arrive at the castle of Dazaifu. The Dazaifu was terrified inside and outside, and the Fujiwara clan was even more mournful.

The Mongol army was strong and strong, and it had already appeared outside the city, so the fate of Fujiwara Keiji and others could be imagined.

Shimazu repeatedly asked to send someone to persuade him to surrender first, but Zhang Hongfan hesitated for a while and reluctantly agreed. Shimazu was about to send a son into the city to persuade him to surrender.

Ali Hague saw that Shimazu was still thinking about letting Dazaifu surrender, so he couldn't help but reach out and press it, and sneered: "It's not that I don't want you to make contributions, I just feel sorry for your son." The Fujiwara clan will never surrender, this is certain, why do you want to send your son to death? ”

Shimazu sighed for a long time and said, "Lord Ali Hague, how can I not know? But I always want to do my part, even if only a few people are persuaded. ”

Ali Hague said: "Before leaving, the prince confessed that the capture of Dazaifu should strive to reduce casualties. Seeing that success is imminent, do you want to let a son die in vain? Very foolish! ”

Zhang Gui said categorically: "If the prince is in front of you, you will definitely not be allowed to take such a risk." I advise you to forget it. ”

Seeing that Ali Hague and Zhang Gui both had opposing opinions, Zhang Hongfan also changed his mind and said, "That's what I thought, so I hesitated for a while. Dazaifu can be lowered overnight, and there is no need to draw snakes, what do you think? ”

Shimazu was persuaded by the three of them, and bowed gratefully, "Thank you for the advice of the three adults. The Shimazu clan is grateful. ”

Oulu said: "Then let's let go of the attack quickly, if we delay the prince's plan, we can't afford to be guilty." ”

All the generals nodded in unison.

The siege lasted less than half a day. Zhang Hongfan launched an attack. One hundred and twenty cannons were used to bombard the gates and walls of Dazaifu, and the gunners also fired to suppress the Japanese troops in the city.

After two volleys, the gates of Dazaifu were shattered and broken. The defenders of Dazaifu suffered heavy casualties. Lose one's head. Shimazu ordered the destruction of the castle for a long time!

Under the pressure of spearmen and artillery, the Japanese army on the city wall was crumbled and would be shot to death as soon as it appeared, how could it resist the Japanese army belonging to the Shimazu clan that poured into Dazaifu like a tide?

The hastily organized 3,000 defenders of Dazaifu were swept away by Shimazu, and the decisive army composed of close retainers of the Fujiwara clan was also wiped out by Arisaka Yoshicho. All the men of the Fujiwara clan committed suicide, and only a hundred or so women survived with the protection of their cronies.

When Cheng Yue arrived, the battle for Dazaifu had just subsided, and the city was still in turmoil. Cheng Yue immediately ordered relief for the poor. Plundering was severely punished, and the situation was quickly stabilized.

Just entered Dazaifu. Cheng Yue summoned the civil and military forces, ordered Meng Qi to temporarily preside over the overall situation of Kyushu, led by Zhou Shifang, and dispatched Ren Qing, Duan Liansheng, Bao Liu, and Xu Pengfei to pacify all parts of Kyushu.

Zhou Shifang and others are all Cheng Yue's old brothers, loyal and reliable, resourceful and good at fighting, the people of the Song and Yuan dynasties are very familiar, and Cheng Yue intends to give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Several old brothers stepped forward to thank them, and immediately led the troops to set off. The soldiers were very fast, and while the news of Dazaifu had just spread elsewhere, the timing of the attack was the best.

Seeing that Cheng Yue was already arranging to occupy the whole of Kyushu, Tuhuan stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, didn't you promise me to let me fight Shikoku?" When to go? ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "The war in Kyushu is not over yet, are you in a hurry?" Okay, you go and select 20,000 horses, I will send Sun Fu and Wu Jiang to lead a thousand spearmen and a hundred cannons to help you, Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan's She mountain soldiers will also give you 1,000, the marines will give you 2,000, and Lu Wenhuan, Lu Shikui, Chen Bao, and Zhang Da will be your generals, is it enough? ”

He was overjoyed and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law really didn't say to me, so many elite soldiers and strong generals are in my hands, and if I lose the battle, I will ask my brother-in-law to cut off my head!" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "What do I want your head to do?" You just have to remember not to act recklessly, and consult with your subordinates, and that's enough. I don't need to say anything else, you guys go too, I'll give the order from the navy. ”

Lu Wenhuan, Lu Shikui and other generals stepped forward to receive the order.

Cheng Yue looked at Jin Fangqing and the others: "There are only 5,000 people left in the Goryeo army who can fight, and the casualties are the most serious, from now on, you can recuperate more, I will not let you be the striker again." ”

Jin Fangqing and other generals hurriedly thanked him.

Pu Qiu took the opportunity to say: "Lord, there will be a request at the end, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Let's say, you sacrifice the most, and I will do my best to satisfy you." ”

Pu Qiu smiled and said: "Lord Wang, the last general heard that all the women of the Fujiwara clan have been caught, can you ask the prince to reward us with a few?" ”

As soon as Pu Qiu spoke, all the generals came to their senses. Cheng Yuejun is strict in discipline, and they are not allowed to rape and plunder, but the captured prisoners are not counted, right? The Fujiwara family is a family, are there few beautiful wives and concubines in the family? Giving a point to the generals is also Cheng Yue's reward to them.

Cheng Yue was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It looks like you are all waiting, okay, this matter is in charge of Buhumu." ”

Bu Humu stood up and said, "Please make it clear to the prince." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Although these women are captives, we can't dispose of them at will. You go and learn more about their personalities, treacherous and vicious, mean and arrogant, and after selecting them, they will be divided among everyone according to their temperament, and each person will only be divided into one first. ”

Bu Mu said cautiously: "Lord Wang, do you want to ask Lord Wang Ye to take a look at it first?" ”

Cheng Yue waved his hand and smiled: "You go and do it, I'm not very interested." Oh, also, Buhumu and Meng Qi, you also pick one of you to go back to serve and live, you work too hard, it's not okay to have few people to take care of you, and it's convenient to have a Japanese woman by your side. ”

This is Cheng Yue's kindness, but Mu and Meng Qi are embarrassed to refuse, they can't let others say that they are fake and high. The two stepped forward to thank them, and the generals had no objections. (To be continued.) )
