"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Hundreds of shells landed on the opposite side again, and the shells hit the ground, creating a large crater, and then bounced and rolled forward again, injuring a large number of Japanese pirates. For a moment, the stump and broken leg splattered, and a puff of blood splattered on himself or others. It really reached the record of the previous Ming Dynasty in each artillery station, which was eroded dozens of feet, and there was no physiology.

The more than 10,000 samurai here in the south of the castle are the elite of the Shimazu family in Kagoshima Castle. As early as half an hour ago, Shimazu Mitsuhisa had already summoned the 10,000 samurai to the south of the city to standby. After a series of preparations were ready, he took the army to the seaside. Before reaching the seashore, at a distance of three kilometers, a huge fleet was spotted on the sea. As far as the eye could see, the Geng family's sail warships covered the entire bay, making his heart sink involuntarily.

Shimazu Hisao and Shimazu Keihisa led their own sailor fleets are completely missing, and it seems that there is more luck than luck. The best ending is to escape from Kagoshima Bay, if it is really annihilated, hey, there is the Mawei Navy of the Geng family in front, and it can no longer move forward. "The whole army stops, line up and prepare for battle!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu gave the order loudly.

At the same time as Mitsuhisa Shimazu gave the order, the rumbling cannon rang out. A sneer still floated into the corner of Shimazu Mitsuhisa's mouth, and he started firing at such a distance, just wasting cannonballs. As soon as this thought came to him, it was immediately extinguished. Almost a third of the five or six hundred shells fell in the formation. In an instant, there were deaths and injuries. It's also to blame that a few phalanxes composed of more than 10,000 people are too big. The length and width are more than 30 meters.

How far is a kilometer away. Think of the playground of the standards of later generations. Two and a half laps around the track in the playground is exactly a kilometer. Although the phalanx looked small at a distance of a thousand meters, the naval gunners were not vegetarians. The naval warships and the Japanese Phalanx are all in a relatively static state at the moment, and with such a large phalanx as a target, if the naval gunners still have no hit rate, it can only mean that their skills are really poor.

When did the samurai of the Shimazu family experience such a scene, they were immediately blinded. For a time, all the pirates. It's a little bit cold to the hands and feet. They finally understood what war was all about. They finally understood that their bravery, in the face of dense artillery, was nothing. Such ferocious firepower is simply terrifying. In just such a round of artillery fire, nearly 200 shells fell in the middle of the formation, and in an instant, more than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed, and more than 300 people were injured. Only this round of artillery fire. An army of more than 10,000 lost one-twentieth of the battle. How can I stand a few more rounds of shells.

While the Japanese were still stunned, the second round of artillery fire of the Third Detachment began again, and this time the gunners' hit rate increased again, and nearly half of the month 300 shells fell into the chaotic enemy formation. The second round of artillery fire again brought a large number of casualties, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa brought his troops out, and before he could see the enemy, he himself lost one and a half layers. The courage of the pirates was also lost by these two rounds of artillery fire, and I don't know which one was the first to shout. "Run!"

Suddenly, regardless of Shangguan's bullet pressure, they all turned around and ran towards Kagoshima Castle. The ground was full of stumps and broken legs, and blood was pouring out, which made the Japanese soldiers who had never seen blood gag for a while, it was too terrible, too cruel. The Japanese are also carrying two heads on their shoulders, and they are also afraid of death, and they will also feel fear, even a daimyo like Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who has experienced blood and fire, also feels trembling from the bottom of his heart.

"General, the Japanese have retreated!" The Shangdou soldiers, who had been in charge of observation, reported loudly to Situ Gui, the captain of the Third Fleet. In fact, at this time, the detachment leader standing on the deck also saw this scene from the telescope.

"The order was given, and the soldiers of the 3rd Marine Army quickly landed. At the same time, send a message to the prince that the Japanese have been repulsed, and the dock is already under our control, asking for instructions on the next step! Situ Gui didn't raise his head, and continued to watch the movements of the Japanese in the distance, and at the same time issued an order.

On the Zhenyuan not far away, Geng Jingzhong, Wang Zhenbang and others were also holding binoculars and couldn't stop looking closely, but the front was full of gunsmoke, and they couldn't see clearly at all because of the distance. "General, the Third Fleet has received news that a large group of pirates on the shore have been repulsed, and the dock on the left bank is also under control, and I am now requesting instructions."

"Shizi, it's already dark this day, it's not suitable to continue fighting, besides, the soldiers have been fighting all day, and they're also very tired, so let's continue to attack tomorrow!" Wang Zhenbang was quite satisfied with the results of today's naval battle, and seeing that it was slowly getting dark at this moment, it was not suitable to attack again, so he turned his head to Geng Jingzhong and asked for instructions.

"No, your navy has reaped the benefits, and our marines haven't shown their skills yet! Shizi, the last general asked to lead the army to attack and take Kagoshima Castle overnight! "Zeng Yangxing heard that he didn't do it, he just stood by and watched a good show for a day, and finally it was his turn to play, and he couldn't give up attacking just because it was getting dark!" Shizi, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese have not yet gathered a large-scale army, the last general asks to attack first and destroy a group of them! ”

Geng Jingzhong touched his chin and thought about it carefully. "Uncle Zeng, let's wait for tomorrow, and start attacking early tomorrow morning." Speaking of this, seeing that Zeng Yangxing still wanted to speak, he hurriedly raised his right hand and interrupted him. "Listen to me. Tens of thousands of Japanese samurai must have gathered in this Kagoshima castle, that's for sure, but the armies of the Shimazu family and other castles did not fall. If we attack now, we will inevitably have street fights with them. It is not a wise choice to engage in street battles with the pirates at night. ”

"Also, according to intelligence, all the samurai of the Shimazu family add up to more than 30,000, and with the ronin they temporarily recruited, the total number should reach 60,000 to 70,000. If we attack again tomorrow morning, they will be able to gather more than 40,000 Japanese warriors in one night. At that time, we were fighting them, and it must have been outside Kagoshima Castle, hehe. Although this Kagoshima Castle does not have a castle wall. Since it is a field battle. Our two artillery battalions will be able to make a difference! When the time comes. The two artillery battalions are bombarded with fire, and the remaining three battalions of 3,000 people will carry out an assault, followed by 20,000 naval soldiers, hehe, we will definitely win! ”

Zeng Yangxing was also a little anxious just now, he didn't expect this, but after Geng Jingzhong's reminder, he instantly understood. "The son of the world is wise. The last will admire! ”

Geng Jingzhong smiled and said: "Uncle Zeng's eyes are heavy, and the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. The order was given to all the other fleets to land and occupy the dock area. After the landing of the Marine Army, they immediately set up a cordon, and at night they should set up bonfires for lighting and warning to prevent sneak attacks! All the fishing boats and merchant ships at the dock were fished ashore and chopped up to make wood for campfires. Then he turned his head and said to Zeng Yangxing and a few people: "Uncle Zeng, Lao Wang." Let's go to the Sailor Station of the Wakos! ”

"Haha, I'm going to check it out. They were all wiped out today, but they haven't copied their nest yet, how can this work! Wang Zhenbang laughed happily.

"Hey" Zeng Yang shook his head and sighed again. "The Navy has shown a big face today!"

"General Zeng doesn't need to envy us, tomorrow's battle will be fought by your marines. As the prince said just now, there are almost 50,000 Japanese soldiers, if you marines don't want to be pioneers, our naval soldiers will be just as good on land! Wang Zhenbang blinked and deliberately teased Zeng Yang.

"Fart, huh!" Zeng Yangxing also knew that Wang Zhenbang was deliberately teasing him, and he was not angry: "Lao Tzu's hands have been itching for a day, don't pick on my fire!" Lao Tzu was hungry, so he happened to go to the water division station of the Japanese to make a fire and cook! ”

"Don't tell me, I'm hungry too. Let the gang stew in a big pot tonight, let the soldiers have a good meal, and tomorrow will be a good battle! Geng Jingzhong said loudly.

Over there, Geng Jingzhong and the others were all elated, but Shimazu Mitsuhisa was gloomy. It was already completely dark, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa gathered the defeated generals who had fled back, counted the number of people, and there were only seven thousand left. More than 10,000 soldiers set out, but only 7,000 returned. In fact, only about 1,000 were killed and wounded by the artillery, and more than 1,000 Japanese were weak-willed and could not stand this tragic scene, so they fled and never returned.

The elder Shimazu Minoru also gathered 20,000 ronin samurai and assembled in the east of the castle, and it was only at this moment that he made peace with Shimazu Mitsuhisa. But when he saw the remnants of the defeated army led by Mitsuhisa Shimazu, he was immediately surprised! This is the elite of the Shimazu family? All of them are disheveled and depressed, what is the situation?

"Master, who are you?" When he saw Shimazu Mitsuhisa's appearance, the old Shimazu Mitsu was even more surprised. Unkempt and disheveled, he is completely the image of a beggar. Shimazu really didn't understand what was going on, how it had only been a little more than an hour, and the high-spirited family elite and the ambitious head of the family had become like this.

"The Geng family's artillery is really powerful! More than 300 zhang apart, it can still hit us. Our 2,000 samurai have returned to the arms of the great gods! Ah, eight-grid tooth road! The red flames reflected Shimazu Mitsuhisa's face particularly hideously.

Shimazu was stunned for a long time, the Geng family's fleet has such powerful artillery? In that way, the sailor troops should also be more auspicious. However, he immediately said: "The head of the family is not worried, the Geng family's battleship artillery is powerful, but it is useless on land." Even if they all landed this time, it would only be 20,000 or 30,000 people, and we have gathered 30,000 people now, and the samurai around us are still coming, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, we will gather 50,000 troops. With the combat power of our warriors, it is not a problem at all to deal with the Geng family's army. Houseowners don't have to worry! ”

"Yes, I'm just suffering from their guns today. The order was given, and the troops were strictly defended in case of a surprise attack by Geng's army. Wait until tomorrow morning, Shimazu Akihisa will lead the team to meet and completely destroy the incoming enemy! Shimazu Mitsuhisa regained some confidence and loudly issued the latest instructions. (To be continued......)
