When Liang Pengfei led the soldiers of the 2,000 Special 1st Battalion to the shore, none of the Japanese dared to come to stop them, and they had already retreated to the area several miles away from the coast to wait for them. [No pop-up novel network]

Through the binoculars, looking at the Satsuma clan soldiers lined up on the slope of the mountain in the distance, and looking at the Shimazu family crest with a cross in a circle fluttering on the pole, Liang Pengfei pursed his lips disdainfully: "What the hell, dare to line up with Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you so much that you can't even recognize your mother." ”

“…… Young master, isn't it time for us to act? Liang Shuisheng, who had just walked over next to him, was speechless when he heard Young Master Liang's words that were not at all in tune, but he still cleared his throat and faithfully performed his duties.

"Since they have been so polite, and have given up the city, and are standing in the wilderness waiting to be beaten, it is necessary to treat these hospitable hosts well. He ordered the whole army to move forward, stop two miles from the other side, and then send an envoy to tell the gang on the other side to either lay down their arms and surrender, or wait to be beaten. ”

"Yes, young master, but, the little one thinks that those guys seem to want to be beaten, and if you don't beat them hard, I'm afraid it's hard to be honest." Liang Shuisheng smiled, and a hideous smile appeared on his honest face.

Ni Ming, who was standing a little later, could only use a roll of his eyes to express his inner depression about the arrogant remarks of these militants, but it was a pity that Ling Longyu had to stay in Edo to handle follow-up affairs, otherwise, he should have more common language with himself.

Dressed in brightly colored carcass, sitting on a pony and holding a military fan, Shigehiro Shimazu saw the other party lined up in the distance, and soon after he sent an envoy to ride his horse in this direction. Although the distance was too far to see the face clearly, the size of the person really shocked them.

When the visitor got closer, almost everyone gasped, although the other party was not wearing any carcass, just a black two-section military uniform, but he was still stretched out by his explosive muscles, and he was so tall and burly that it was outrageous. Compared to those short Japanese people, it is really a stark contrast.

Monk Chen rode on the back of the horse with some triumph, and marched towards the enemy's main formation, because, Young Master Liang directly named him to become a messenger to challenge, and in the jealous eyes of those guys, Monk Chen gladly accepted the order.

Looking at those Japanese soldiers who were not much taller than the dwarfs, Monk Chen smashed his mouth lightly: "Grandma, no wonder the young master has to let me come, it seems that he is simply trying to provoke this group of frustrations." ”

"Qingguo people, explain your intentions." One of the subordinates standing next to Shigehiro Shimazu asked Monk Chen in somewhat jerky Chinese. Although he tried his best to straighten his body, the altitude difference was too much, and he had to raise his head and ask Monk Chen.

"Your Excellency, the head of the Heavenly Empire, asks you to lay down your arms and surrender immediately, otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for you." Monk Chen looked at the Japanese general wearing a strange helmet in front of him, and replied in a deep voice.

After hearing the translation of the general whose face had become a little strange. "Yaga! With only 2,000 men, do you think that with just 2,000 men, you can defeat the 15,000 troops of our Satsuma Domain? One of the generals jumped out and shouted.

"Stand down, don't be rude." Shimazu Shigehao waved the military fan in his hand to signal the impulsive subordinate to go back, and then stood up, looking at Monk Chen who was standing five steps away, no way, he was already short, and he was even shorter when he sat on the pony, and it was too tired to sit and watch this Qing countryman, mainly because his neck was very sore, so in order to increase his momentum, in order not to let his neck cramp, Shimazu Shigehao stood up. "Qing State Envoy, my Shimazu family has no grudges with you, and there is no enmity in the past, why do you have to work so hard to force each other, do you think that my Shimazu family is weak and can be bullied?"

Seeing that Monk Chen listened to the translation, Shimazu Shigehao glanced at Monk Chen's expression and had not changed much, and had to continue: "That Ryukyu is often harassed by pirates, so it belongs to my Shimazu clan, it has been nearly two hundred years, if the Shimazu family has been bullying them, won't they resist?" Therefore, I hope that the Qing envoy had better figure out what was going on, and not be provoked by some Ryukyuan people with ulterior motives. ”

Translated again, Monk Chen continued to be expressionless, Shimazu Shigehao was really a little crazy, but before he had time to explode in the small universe, Monk Chen's words made Shimazu Shigehao tilt his nose.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand this, I just know that if you don't surrender, our army will attack you within half an hour, and now I just want to know if you are willing to surrender." Monk Chen's words were like throwing a weasel into the chicken pen, and all the generals jumped up, screaming non-stop, and even some guys pulled out their knives and pointed at Monk Chen.

Monk Chen just glanced at the idiot contemptuously, and then fell on Shigeho Shimazu. "That's how the Shimazu family treats the envoys?"

"Baga, you bastards, don't give me a back down yet." Shimazu Shigehao, who claimed to be the first in the spirit of bushido, heard Monk Chen's words, and was accused in person like this, which made him angry, turned around and scolded twice, and after quieting down those idiots, Shimazu Shigehao gritted his teeth, raised his head, and tried to make himself appear taller: "Yours, go back and tell your commander, and wait for him to defeat the 15,000 troops of my Satsuma Domain." ”

"I just said, some people owe a beating, don't beat him, they don't know the pain." After Liang Pengfei heard Monk Chen's return, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "The whole army advances five hundred meters. ”

"What the hell are those Qing people doing?" Standing on a big car, Shimazu Shigehiro, who was holding a Nanban mirror to observe the enemy's situation, saw the other party advance for a mile and then stopped again, and then, a lot of soldiers ran out of the middle of the team, and before arriving at the array, they fiddled with the thick small iron pipes, which made Shimazu Shigeo, who had never seen a mortar, his head full of fog.

"I don't know, is this a small cylinder?" His son Shimazu's answer made Shigehiro Shimazu feel that there was something wrong with his son's IQ. "Fujishiro, can such a small one be called a big tube? That's an iron cannon, you know? It seems that you are too addicted to those books, and you have no understanding of military affairs at all, and now that you are the governor of my Shimazu family, you can't just patronize the people's rule and forget about armaments......" Shimazu Shigehiro reprimanded his son again.

It's a pity that although his son Shimazu Qixuan is a little novice in the military, he guessed correctly, it should be said that Shimazu Qixuan's mouth is very crow and very dark......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At the moment when the two men were chattering crookedly, the 30 mortars of the 1st Special Battalion had already been prepared, and with Liang Pengfei's order, the 30 gunners released their hands holding the shells almost simultaneously.

The shell slipped into the chamber, and with a dull roar, the mortar shell burst out of the chamber and flew into the sky.

Shigehiro Shimazu, who was spitting and teaching his son who was rolling his eyes, stopped spitting and turned his head to look at the enemy in some amazement. "At such a distance, is the thing that the other party was fiddling with just now really a big tube?"

The formation of 15,000 soldiers of the Shimazu clan was very standard, and when viewed from a high place, it really looked like huge fish scales were shining on the gentle slope of the mountainside, but soon, the scales changed, or rather shattered.

That's right, all thirty shells accurately fell into the fish scale formation, and for this dense formation, the destructive and lethal power of mortar shells filled with picric acid was released and exerted to the fullest.

Clusters of flames burst out in the middle of the formation, and then viciously started from the center of the explosion, propping up a blank area, and the Satsuma clan soldiers who had been standing there all turned into clumps of rotten flesh and flew in all directions, and their souls rushed to Amaterasu in time to report.

Almost at the moment when the first round of artillery bombardment was fired, the neat and solemn military formation collapsed instantly, and the brave Satsuma clan soldiers began to scatter in all directions, they never imagined that the power of the cannonballs fired from the other party's little gadget would seem so terrifying.

The explosion that was so loud that it could deaf their ears and the lethality that could easily tear them to pieces was far beyond their knowledge of the barrel of a thermal weapon, and even some of the Satsuma clan soldiers thought that it should be a divine punishment such as thunder and fire from Amaterasu.

"It's over......" Seeing the miserable state of the originally strong military formation in this round of shelling, Shimazu Shigehao's blood-boiling immortal ambition was directly cold to his asshole, and only these two blurted out words were left in his heart.

Beside him, Shimazu Qixuan's crow's mouth widened to the extreme, and his dull gaze watched the clusters of fire flickering in his pupils. The white cheeks that had been hiding in the room for many years showed a strange grayish white. "What to do? Father, the soldiers seem to be a little out of control. ”

"Lord, Weichen is willing to lead the dead to charge into battle." Beside him, a military general jumped out and knelt down in front of Shigehiro Shimazu and said loudly. Before he could finish speaking, the second round of artillery bombardment arrived, and once again smashed into the already sparse and mutilated array of fish scales......

Shigehiro Shimazu closed his eyes: "Forget it, it's useless, immediately send someone to tell the Qing people on the other side that we surrender, if they are willing to forgive the Shimazu family, for the sake of the future of the Shimazu family, I can apologize." Qi Xuan can also live in seclusion, as long as he can preserve the vitality of the Shimazu family......"
