The Kyushu campaign launched by the 860,000 Xia army has come to an end, and the Liaodong and Goryeo armies led by Le Yi and Li Chenggui have defeated the forces of the Ryuzoji family in a row, invaded Hizen Province, and captured several castles including Saga Castle!

Bai Qi pursued and killed in the east, all the way to the Bunzen Province and captured Kokura Castle!

Then Shiraki personally took control of Ogura Castle and prevented the daimyo of Honshu Island from supporting Kyushu Island again.

Bai Qi also assigned Zhou Yu and Lu Xun to attack the Fenghou Kingdom where the Otomo family was entrenched.

Yue Fei and Chu Wu marched south, captured Chikugo Province, and then broke Kumamoto Castle in Higo Province, and finally entered Satsuma Province, where the Shimazu family was entrenched, and surrounded Izuzu Castle.

The Shimazu family was based in the inner castle of southern Satsuma Province, and reinforcements were sent to support Izumi Castle in the north.

When Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others fled back to Honshu Island, the conquest of Kyushu Island was equivalent to the conquest of a prefecture in the Central Plains. The reichinage country of Kyushu Island is equivalent to a prefecture.

An army of hundreds of thousands swept through a county, which was more than enough.

The Shimazu family is still thinking about resisting.

The four Shimazu brothers are all ruthless people, and even when disaster comes, they still resist.

The Satsuma samurai are also the most fierce samurai of the Kyushu islanders.

Yoshihiro Shimazu and Iehisa Shimazu led the Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family to support Izumi Castle, hoping to defeat the invading Xia army in the mountainous Satsuma country, which won the hearts of the people.

Yoshihiro Shimazu also had another idea: "The best tactic of our Shimazu family is 'fishing nobush'. Even if the Xia army is strong, once it hits our fishing field, it will be defeated. ”

"Brother, let me go and lure the enemy!"

"No, I'll lure the enemy, and you will command!"

Shimazu Yoshihiro is also a brave man, he knows that the core of the Shimazu family's "fishing and wild ambush" lies in the vanguard used to mock the enemy army and lure the enemy with his life, the vanguard engages the Xia army, and then fights and retreats, leading the Xia army into the ambush circle of the iron artillery team and the bow team.

The generals who led the vanguard to lure the enemy died nine times, so Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa competed for the position of the vanguard.

In the end, the older Shimazu Yoshihiro led the vanguard to provoke the Chu Wu and Yue Fei legions besieging Izumi Castle, wanting to provoke them to attack.

"The Shimazu family is good at 'fishing wild ambush', which is a kind of ambush strategy, so just ignore it and continue to besiege Demizu Castle. Then, once the Shimazu family is angry, they will definitely take the initiative to attack. ”

Zhuge Liang had already done his homework when he conquered Kyushu Island, and he naturally knew that the Shimazu family's almost unchanged "fishing and wild ambush" tactics.

The reason why the Shimazu family's "Fishing Wild Ambush" tactics have been tried and tested again and again is related to the enemy's ability to manage the army and the taunting effect of "Fishing Wild Fubush" comes with it.

Ordinary military generals, once they are successfully taunted by the vanguard of the Shimazu family, are likely to attack the Shimazu army at all costs.

In this way, they often fall for the schemes of the Shimazu family.

However, because the Shimazu family used the "fishing and nobush" tactics invariably, so that when they encountered generals and strategists like Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang, they could see it at a glance.

"That makes sense. Su Lie, you set up a fence and only send archers to hide behind the fence and shoot, no matter how he provokes, he can't hold out. In addition, Chiyo, you lead the iron cannon team and garrison the fence with Su Lie. ”

Chu Wu recognized Zhuge Liang's judgment and adopted the turtle tactics that could not be held.

The essence of the Shimazu family's "fishing and no ambush" tactic is to lure the enemy, and once the taunt fails, it is difficult to succeed.

Su Lie restrained the army, and once the vanguard of the Shimazu family came to provoke, he fired ten thousand arrows and shot the small vanguard back.

"Damn!"

Shimazu Yoshihiro provoked in every possible way, but Xia Jun just couldn't hold out, and his vanguard couldn't even fight Xia Jun in hand-to-hand combat, nor could they launch a taunting effect.

Yue Fei was attacking Shuicheng, and Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa were anxious.

If the siege cannot be lifted, no matter how high the morale of the people of Izumi Castle is, it will be captured, and then the target of the Xia army will be the main city of the Shimazu family, the inner city.

"Brother, let's work together to defeat the Xia army!"

"For the sake of now, this is the only way."

The angry Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa forced the situation and had to charge at the fence set up by the Xia army!

Lv Lingqi, Su Lie, Yang Xingmi, Zu Dashou and other generals fought on foot, mainly infantry, and fought with the fierce Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family!

After dismounting, the cowardly Xue army became a marksman, and the arrows did not miss, taking the lives of many Satsuma samurai.

Lu Lingqi once again opened a peerless position among the Satsuma samurai, pinning down hundreds of Satsuma samurai.

Yang Xingmi led the surviving Black Cloud Long Sword Army to avenge the battle of Kyushu and attack with all his might.

Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa held a katana and achieved a hundred beheadings.

However, the Shimazu brothers' personal force was completely unable to save the situation.

The Zhuge crossbowmen and the Tachibana iron artillery fired continuously, and the fierce Satsuma samurai could not resist their attacks.

The battle lasted for several hours, and Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa were repulsed.

This time, Chu Wu followed Zhuge Liang's advice and did not pursue rashly, the purpose was to take the water city as a stronghold for attacking the inner city, disgusting the Shimazu family.

"Our reinforcements were repulsed......"

The elder of the Shimazu family, the guard general Yamada Yunobu, was on the walls of Izumi Castle when he saw the reinforcements being repulsed and fell into great despair.

He knew that the daimyo of Honshu and Shikoku could not bear the losses caused by the Kyushu Great War, and had abandoned Kyushu Island and the Shimazu family on Kyushu Island.

Yamada Youxin summoned his son: "Come, take him out of the city, and surrender to the Xia army." ”

Yamada Yushin knew that the current Shimazu family only had tens of thousands of troops left, and it was impossible to resist the hundreds of thousands of Xia troops that swept the entire Kyushu Island.

If you have the same number of troops, you can also defend with your geographical advantage.

But this time it was not an ordinary daimyo who attacked it, but a Kyushu crusading army that was bigger than any daimyō.

As a hostage, the son of Yamada Yunobu entered the Xia army camp and surrendered to Yue Fei on behalf of the guards.

Yue Fei has connected several cities on Kyushu Island, and has already taken care of it step by step, sending troops to take over the city of Shui Shui.

Next, only the inner city of the Shimazu family, that is, Kagoshima, remains.

If the Shimazu family is completely wiped out, then the entire island of Kyushu will become a county of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"March to the Inner City!"

Yue Fei and Chu Wu captured Yamada Youxin, and sent 3,000 soldiers to garrison Izumi City, and then attacked the inner city non-stop, so as to achieve hegemony in Kyushu as soon as possible.

Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa still wanted to "fish in the wilderness" during the march of the Xia army, but they were recognized by Zhuge Liang, and Yue Fei and Chu Wu echoed each other.

Once the Shimazu clan taunts one of the soldiers, the other will echo and counter-encircle the Shimazu warriors.

Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu have suffered repeated losses, while the Xia army has advanced all the way and has reached the outskirts of the inner city.

The four Shimazu brothers are in an unprecedented crisis.
