Hundreds of men threw themselves into battle, firing at full power, preventing the Satsuma Domain's army from approaching.

Under the fort, Shimazu Kulie angrily slammed the katana on the ground, and scolded, this Shimazu Ah Huang is really a special waste, sneaking in the middle of the night, or on his own territory, he was discovered so quickly, and he wasted a great opportunity in vain!

"Order, press all our troops up, attack with all our might, it's the middle of the night, the line of sight is not good, the power of the Ming army's muskets has been reduced to a minimum, attack, attack with all your strength, you must take the fort before the sky, no matter how big it is!"

Shimazu Kulie roared angrily.

This fort is the first line of defense from the sea into the Satsuma Domain, and it is also the strongest line of defense, occupying the commanding heights of the Osumi Peninsula and overlooking the entire sea.

Shimazu Kulie threw all the three or four thousand troops under his command into the attack in one go, and attacked overnight!

This time, the infantry of Cha Bolt is really a little unable to hold on, after a day and a night of great battle, now the strength of the Ming army is under the onslaught of the Satsuma Domain, the casualties are not small, now it is late at night, the fort is not visible five fingers, the power of the musket is limited to a minimum, in the face of three or four thousand troops on three sides, it is really enough to drink a pot of Cha Bolt.

"Master Overseer, there are too many troops of the Satsuma Domain under the mountain, and if you attack from all directions, the brothers will not be able to defend it at all, and sooner or later they will be rushed up by the Satsuma Domain's army!"

Brother Deng wiped a handful of sweat and said urgently.

Cha Xuan said fiercely: "Order, the rocket retreats first, and the east and west sides must resist the army of the Satsuma Domain to the death, gradually let go of the defense in the north, and let the army of the Satsuma Domain climb up from the north!" ”

"Well, that's ......"

Deng Xiong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Inspector, do you really want to abandon the fort?" Then we're going to waste all our efforts! ”

"Who said you were going to give up?"

Cha Xuan said fiercely, "We let the Satsuma clan army rush up from the north, just to gather all our rockets to greet them, let's stew a pot of hot pot!" Then fight and retreat, use the cover of mountains and rocks, resist step by step, as long as we hold on until dawn, Zheng Haotian will attack from the sea and support us! ”

Shimazu Ah Huang commanded the army to constantly attack the fort, and the forces on the east and west sides were suppressed by the opponent, and it was too difficult to break through, but at this time, there was a sudden loosening in the direction of due north, and the defense had become less tight than just now

After all, Shimazu Ah Huang is a veteran general on the battlefield, and it was concluded in an instant that because of the lack of troops, there was a hole in the defense of the Ming army in the northern foothills!

"Order, don't relax the attack on the east and west sides, concentrate a thousand troops, and storm the northern foothills, their defenses have begun to loosen, be sure to rush forward, rush!"

Groups of Satsuma clan troops began to launch a fierce offensive towards the northern foothills, and sure enough, nearly a thousand troops flew with some strength, and finally broke through the defenses of the northern foothills and rushed to the fort in one fell swoop!

Shimazu Ah Huang boarded the fort, his heart was overjoyed, finally, finally the fort is going to fall into his own hands again, as long as the north is taken, the number of troops on the fort will be more and more, even if it is to fight with people, the Ming army in front of him will be surrounded and annihilated!

It's just that Shimazu Ah Huang's excitement hasn't gone down yet, and he ushered in a death catastrophe!

Now that the ten rockets of the Ming army have been pushed three hundred steps away, seeing that hundreds of troops of the Satsuma Domain Army have boarded the fort, the order was given, the fire was fully fired, and the ten rockets roared!

Shimazu Ah Huang's eyes widened instantly, no, the dog said, it's a rocket again!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Shimazu Huang let out a wild roar.

However, the rocket was only 300 paces away from the Satsuma Domain's army, and it arrived in an instant, leaving no respite for the Satsuma Domain's army, and one rocket after another landed in the ranks of the Satsuma Domain......

"Ah......h

One by one, the ronin of the Satsuma Domain let out a terrible scream, and one by one the burning men danced in all directions, and some even crashed into their companions, and even their companions were burned, which was unbearable to see.

One by one, the Satsuma clan army hurriedly dodged around, for fear that they would become roast suckling pigs in the next moment, and some of them were even timid and even grunted down directly along the fort, even if it was miserable, it was much better than being burned into charcoal on the fort......

Shimazu Ah Huang's heart is cold, no wonder there is a loosening in the northern foothills, this is a big pit dug by the generals of the Ming army for himself, just waiting for himself to jump in with someone!

Shimazu Huang didn't have time to rectify the troops rushing up, and the second wave of rockets arrived, only with an interval of less than two minutes, and another wave of rockets! The crazy offensive caused the Satsuma clan army to collapse directly, and it was completely chaotic!

The cha bolt in the distance sighed secretly, two waves, only two waves of offensives, there is no way to launch it again, and all the rockets on the fort have been used up, in particular, he still underestimated the determination of the Satsuma clan to regain the fort, and also underestimated the strong combat power of the Satsuma clan army, even if the combat power of these Satsuma clan armies is not as good as the elite of Manchuria, it is not far away, it is really a strong force.

There was no follow-up attack on the rocket, the fire gradually weakened, Shimazu Ah Huang desperately restrained his army, ordered the army behind to hurry up the mountain and seize the fort, and more and more Satsuma Domain soldiers rushed up behind, and the offensive became more and more fierce!

Cha Xuan reluctantly shouted: "Deng Xiong, order all departments to shrink the defensive line, concentrate together, keep a certain distance, don't be surrounded by opponents, fight every step, and be sure to hold on until dawn!" ”

Although the Satsuma army rushed up with more and more troops, the Ming army was completely caught in a bitter battle, and the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

Just as a fierce battle was taking place around the fort, in the distance, a fleet at sea was rapidly approaching the Osumi Peninsula.

On the handsome boat, Qin Mufeng stood steadily, and Zheng Haotian stood with his hands down.

"Inspector Qin, now we are less than forty miles away from the coast of the Osumi Peninsula of the Satsuma Domain......"

Zheng Haotian said in a deep voice: "In more than an hour, almost the time of the Li people, we can reach the coast, and we can launch an attack on the Satsuma Domain at any time!" Why don't you go and rest for a while, and I'll keep an eye on ...... here."

Qin Mufeng nodded, with Zheng Haotian here, he didn't need to worry about it, even if he wanted to worry about it, it was useless, he was completely a layman for naval warfare, and he was afraid that it would backfire.

Qin Mufeng turned around and was about to go back to the cabin to rest, when on the lookout platform of the mast, the sentry shouted in surprise: "Master Inspector, Master Inspector!" It's on fire! It's on fire! In the direction of the Osumi Peninsula, flames are lit, and it looks like our rocket! ”
