Escorted by the close samurai, Shimazu Naruto and his party arrived at the mountain pass, followed by more than a thousand Satsuma samurai who gathered along the way.

Although more than 1,000 Satsuma samurai looked flustered, they did not lose their position, which shows that their military and psychological elements were much stronger than those Satsuma soldiers who ran around like headless flies.

In other words, these more than 1,000 Satsuma samurai can be described as the elite of the Satsuma samurai, and they can calmly respond to danger and take the initiative to find the boss, rather than leaving Shimazu Naruto to flee for his life.

Shimazu Naruto and the others stopped at the mountain pass, the reason was very simple, outside the mountain pass, the fan-shaped black pressure was full of red wolf troops with weapons in their hands, blocking the road to death.

The ground between the mountain pass and the Red Wolves was littered with the corpses of Satsuma soldiers, and many of the wounded were groaning and shouting in pain in pools of blood, and their voices sounded unusually harsh.

"You're Shimazu Naruun, the lord of the Satsuma Domain?" Under the gaze of the iron-faced Shimazu Mingyun, the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army branched out a path from the middle, and a handsome young general wearing bright silver armor and a heroic posture walked over surrounded by a group of people, looking at Shimazu Mingyun and asked in a coquettish voice.

"Who are you?" Shimazu Naruto judged from the young general's accent that the other party was actually a woman, and he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face, and replied with a gloomy face.

"Ben will be Keiko Yamaguchi, the leader of the Red Wolf Army." When the handsome young general heard this, he first opened his mouth to protect his home, and then Yu Feng changed his mind and said, "Lord Shimazu Domain, you are now surrounded by us, and you will never be able to rush out, and now there is only one way to surrender, and King Tadamu will treat your subordinates leniently." ”

"There are no people in the Satsuma Clan who have surrendered, and if they want to take our lord away, then ask us if the sword in our hands is agreed!" Fudo Shimazu Naruto spoke, and a samurai standing beside him waved the sword in his hand and shouted at Keiko Yamaguchi.

"Kill it!" Led by the samurai, the Satsuma samurai behind them waved their swords and prepared to protect Shimazu Naruto to the death, which boosted his low morale.

"Lord Shimazu, do you think you're still able to go?" Keiko Yamaguchi glanced at the shouting Satsuma samurai, looked at Shimazu Naruto quietly and said, "To tell you the truth, King Tadamu has personally led a large army to Shimizu Castle, even if this commander lets you go, I'm afraid that by the time you arrive, Shimizu Castle will already be ours." ”

"What?" Shimazu Naruto was taken aback when he heard this.

If, as Keiko Yamaguchi said, Li Yuntian divided his forces into two, one set up an ambush on Red Bird Mountain, and the other went to attack the defenseless Qingshui City, then there was a chance that Qingshui City would fall into Li Yuntian's hands.

In this way, Shimazu Naruto will lose his roots in Kyushu Island, and then have to flee to Osumi Province or Hyuga Province like a lost dog, but Satsuma Country is the foundation of the Satsuma Domain, if he loses the Satsuma Country, it means that the Satsuma Domain has been conquered by the Ming army, because he has no reinforcements to confront the Ming army, which is a bad thing that he absolutely does not want to see.

Keiko Yamaguchi's words not only made Shimazu Naruto's expression change greatly, but also those Satsuma samurai behind him were in a commotion, looking at each other, everyone knew the importance of Shimizu Castle to the Satsuma Domain.

Shimazu Naruto's face was cloudy and uncertain, revealing an anxious look, he did not doubt Keiko Yamaguchi's words, because in his opinion, Li Yuntian would definitely use this strategy of "diverting the tiger from the mountain" to divert the main force of the Satsuma army in Shimizu Castle, and then conquer it in one fell swoop.

As for whether Li Yuntian had so many troops under him, Shimazu Mingyun believed that with the strength of the Ming army's naval division, Li Yuntian could mobilize reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, which was a huge advantage that he did not have.

Shimazu Mingyun didn't realize that his thinking was now led by the nose by Keiko Yamaguchi, and it was not easy for Li Yuntian to transfer troops from the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it would take a lot of money to mobilize the people, and it was obvious that Li Yuntian would not transfer troops with great fanfare just to deal with a small Satsuma Domain, and he would have a reputation for bullying the small.

However, Shimazu Mingyun, who was already in chaos, had already preconceived and thought that the powerful Li Yuntian could transfer troops from the Ming Dynasty to reinforce him, so he naturally would not doubt Keiko Yamaguchi's words.

"Warriors, the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty will definitely wait for the war here to break out before going to Qingshui City, Qingshui City still has 10,000 troops, if we break through the siege now and rush to report to Qingshui City, Qingshui City will be able to defend it."

In view of the fact that Shimizu Castle is too important, Shimazu Naruto can't lose it no matter what, so Shimazu Naruto quickly made a decision, drew the sword on his waist and waved it at the Red Wolf Army in front, shouting loudly, "Fight out of the encirclement, return to Shimizu City, and wait until you return to the city, the lord of this domain will be rewarded!" ”

"Kill!" Shimazu Naruun's words lagged behind, and a close attendant samurai standing beside him rushed towards the Red Wolf Army with a sword in both hands.

"Kill!" Led by the attendant samurai, the Satsuma samurai who followed behind screamed and followed, believing that they could only survive by breaking out of the encirclement.

"Let them kill!" Seeing this, Keiko Yamaguchi frowned, waved her hand to the Red Wolf Army behind her with a frosty mask, and said coldly, "Look who kills whom!" ”

"Brothers, rush with me and capture Shimazu Mingyun alive, and the prince will be greatly rewarded at that time!" Hearing this, Saburo Domoto, who was standing next to Keiko Yamaguchi, took the lead, brandishing the sword in his hand and rushing towards the Satsuma samurai.

"Kill!" Seeing this, the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army shouted and followed Saburo Domoto to pounce on the oncoming Satsuma samurai, and the two sides soon got into a scuffle.

Looking at Domoto Saburo who was fighting with the Satsuma samurai on the battlefield, Keiko Yamaguchi shook her head helplessly, although Li Yuntian forbade the senior generals of the Red Wolf Army to charge into battle, but Domoto Saburo, as the deputy commander of the Red Wolf Army, forgot about this matter as soon as he became excited, with her understanding of Li Yuntian, this time Domoto Saburo would definitely be severely reprimanded by Li Yuntian.

After all, the duty of a senior general is to be responsible for the overall command of the battle, and if it really comes time for him to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that the shape is already extremely critical.

Shimazu Naruto had already seen from the costumes of Keiko Yamaguchi and others that it was not the sailors of the Ming army who blocked his way, but the Japanese who surrendered to the Ming army, so in his opinion, Keiko Yamaguchi's rabble was vulnerable and was no match for his elite Satsuma samurai at all.

However, as the battle progressed, Shimazu Naruto's face became more and more heavy, and he was surprised to find that the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army were not only extremely fierce but also not afraid of death, even if they were injured on the battlefield, they still looked extremely fierce.

The Satsuma samurai obviously did not expect the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army to be so fierce, and they were taken by surprise for a while, they crisscrossed the battlefields of Kyushu and Shikoku, and they had never encountered a more ferocious force than them.

Shimazu Naruto forgets that although the Wako are a rabble, they are also outlaws who are not afraid of death, and if they are carefully trained, they will be a formidable force on the battlefield.

After a fierce stalemate, in front of the Red Wolf Army, the psychological defense line of the Satsuma samurai finally collapsed, and slowly retreated, after all, they are also human beings, but they have not encountered an opponent of equal strength before, so they have lost their morale after fighting hard with the Red Wolf Army for a while.

"Lord, we can't rush out here, let's break through from somewhere else." Seeing this, the previous round-faced retainer looked anxious and said to Shimazu Naruun, whose face was blue and his eyes were a little dull, it was obvious that they had been unable to break through the interception of the Red Wolf Army, so they had to retreat into the mountains and find a way.

Shimazu Naruto came back to his senses when he heard this, and glanced at the Satsuma samurai who were retreating before the Red Wolf Army's onslaught, and couldn't help but feel a pang of despair in his heart.

He knew that the general trend had gone, and now the Ming army had set up a net in Red Bird Mountain to wait for him, if he couldn't break out of the interception of the Red Wolf Army, then there were only two consequences, one was to die in battle, and the other was to be captured.

"This clan will personally fight them to the death!" Soon, Shimazu Naruto made a decision that it was better to die in battle than to be captured, so he rejected the round-faced retainer's Tiyì and walked to the battlefield with the sword in his hand.

The round-faced retainer also knew that it was more difficult to escape now than to ascend to the sky, so he sighed and pulled out his sword, leading the surrounding samurai to protect Shimazu Narumun, and the battle of Red Bird Mountain ushered in the most critical moment.

In the military tent, Li Yuntian was lying on the marching bed, flipping through a copy of "Historical Records" in his hand with his legs crossed, humming a small tune in his mouth.

Since the start of the ambush war, no one has entered the account to report the development of the war to him, which is a good thing for Li Yuntian, according to the battle plan formulated in advance, the Satsuma army should not escape this catastrophe, if someone comes in halfway to report to him, it is definitely not good news, it means that the battle situation has changed out of the battle plan and Li Zixi cannot control it.

"Xianggong, Keiko sent someone to report just now, they captured Shimazu Mingyun alive, and now they are sending it over!" Not long after, the curtain of the military tent was lifted, and Lei Ting walked in excitedly, smiling and telling Li Yuntian a good news.

"Let's go, let's go!" Hearing this, Li Yuntian put down the "Historical Records" in his hand, stretched lazily and got out of bed, and walked out of the military tent.

Not long after staying in the shade of the tree outside the military tent, Li Yuntian saw Keiko Yamaguchi and Saburo Domoto with bandages on their bodies coming over, and the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army behind him escorted Shimazu Mingyun.

Shimazu Naruto's helmet had been removed and was carried in the hands of a soldier, although Shimazu Naruto's face was very bad, but he was not injured.

In fact, Shimazu Naruto was about to be captured alive, so the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army avoided him on the battlefield, but this did not mean that Shimazu Naruto could do whatever he wanted, and Domoto Saburo had already prepared for his subordinates to cover him with a fishing net, and then was subdued by the Red Wolf Army soldiers who rushed up.

Seeing this, the round-faced retainers and others wanted to step forward to rescue Shimazu Naruto, but they were immediately surrounded by the soldiers of the Red Wolf Army who swarmed up, and they could only watch Shimazu Naruto being captured.

And as Shimazu Mingyun was captured by the Red Wolf Army, the round-faced retainers and others gave up resistance and threw down the weapons in their hands, firstly to avoid Shimazu Mingyun being harmed, and secondly, their lords were arrested, so naturally there was no need to fight.

As the news of Shimazu's capture spread, the shouts of Red Bird Mountain gradually subsided, and the ambush battle slowly came to an end.
