The entire Satsuma Domain has fallen under the control of the Ming army, and now Shimazu Jiulie honestly wants a pug to let him stand, he doesn't dare to squat, Qin Mufeng and Cha Zhu continue to mobilize the army, and deploy it strictly.

Today's Tokugawa Iemitsu is completely kept in the dark, and now Tokugawa Iemitsu is facing strong pressure from Xia Wanchun and Tan Guilin, and he has no time to take care of others, where can he dare to be distracted? Second, he didn't expect that in just such a short period of time, the Satsuma Domain had already fallen into the hands of the Ming army, you must know that the Satsuma Domain is the leader among more than a hundred daimyo in terms of combat power, and no daimyo can compare with it, even if 10,000 elites are transferred by themselves, the remaining Satsuma Domain army and Satsuma Domain sailors are definitely not easy to mess with.

In addition, now all the main roads on the border of the Satsuma Domain are controlled and blocked by the Satsuma Domain Army, not to mention people, even a rabbit can't run out.

Beppu Bay, this is the territory of the Ogura Domain, originally Tan Guilin and Xia Wanchun soldiers divided into two roads, with the army of the Nagasaki Domain as the vanguard, all the way to the east, but just arrived at Beppu Bay once, just met the Tokugawa Shogunate's army landed from here, at this time the Ming army's fleet was not there, can only stare dryly, under the cover of the Toei fleet, the Tokugawa army occupied Beppu Bay in one breath, and launched a counterattack towards the Ming army.

The unlucky Matsuura Zhenxin, originally thought that the glory and wealth were in front of him, his vanguard had just fought with the Tokugawa army, and was beaten by the Tokugawa army, after all, when the Nagasaki feudal army fought with the Ming army before, the main force was seriously damaged, although the new army was recruited to supplement it, but these people's combat power is too scum, how can it be compared with the elite main force of Tokugawa Iemitsu? If it weren't for Tan Guilin and Xia Wanchun's timely response, I was afraid that Songpu Zhenxin would have died in the chaos.

In order to be able to defeat the Ming army, Tokugawa Iemitsu brought all his three artillery battalions to Kyushu Island in one go, which is all his family background, three artillery battalions, a full fifty artillery, although these artillery are not as powerful as the flower cannon, but there are also a lot of red-coated cannons, although the combat power of fifty artillery is still not the opponent of the Ming artillery, but the 60,000 army plus the strength of each domain is two or three times that of the Ming army, and it is fighting on the mainland, occupying a geographical advantage.

Even if Tan Guilin and Xia Wanchun were able to fight well, they were forced to stop and continue to advance, and they could only confront their opponents here, how easy was it to break through the positional defense of the Tokugawa army?

After all, although the strength of the Ming army is far inferior to the Tokugawa army, but the flintlock muskets and flowering cannons in their hands are too powerful, no matter how powerful the Tokugawa army is, they dare not face so many muskets to launch an assault forward, and the only cavalry battalion under the command of Tokugawa Iemitsu, five thousand cavalry are all left in Edo, after all, the main force is exhausted, and the artillery battalion is also taken away, Edo's defense is too weak, there must be an elite force to watch Edo, It was Tokugawa Iemitsu's old nest.

As soon as the two sides confronted each other, it took half a month, and the news of Qin Mufeng and Cha Zhu could not be delivered here in time in a short time, and Tan Guilin and Xia Wanchun were a little worried.

Food is not very short, after all, although the food carried by the army is used up, and the Nagasaki Domain is supplied, there will not be much problem within half a month, but, the continuous war, so that now the ammunition of the Ming army began to be scarce, if there is no rear ammunition to help, the army will encounter big trouble, in the face of the siege of 100,000 Dongying army, Xia Wanchun and Tan Guilin have no firearms, and they really do not have enough confidence in their hearts.

Inside the tent, Tan Guilin and Xia Wanchun sat opposite each other, their faces were a little solemn, and the situation was getting more and more serious.

"Brother Tan, why don't we attack directly? With infantry as the vanguard, a decisive battle with the Dongying army, and then a cavalry assault on the flank of the Dongying army, there must be some chance of victory......"

Xia Wanchun said in a deep voice.

Tan Guilin shook his head and replied: "Cungu, we can't take risks, here is the main force of our expedition, we can't afford to lose, we don't expect to win, we don't expect to lose, once we lose, then this expedition to Dongying can be regarded as a failure, this price is too great, we have spent countless money and food for this expedition......"

"Hey! Why is there no news from Inspector Qin and Inspector Cha, it's not a way to drag it out like this! ”

Xia Wanchun slammed his fist on the table and said: "If the confrontation continues and we can't take the advantage, then the Nagasaki Domain behind is likely to be repeated, once the Matsuura family stabs us in the back, it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out at that time!" ”

When the two of them were anxious, General Deng Lie hurriedly walked in and said hurriedly: "Two adults, Inspector Cha and Inspector Qin have sent someone!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they stood up, and Xia Wanchun shouted, "What about people! Please come in! ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the guerrilla general Duan Bi walked in, bowed down and said, "Duan Bixing came to deliver the letter on the orders of the two Governors, and I have seen the two Lords!" ”

"Old Duan? Haha, the two Governors have finally sent a letter, and they are about to kill us! ”

Xia Wanchun laughed.

Duan Bixing hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, bowed down and said, "Lord Xia, this is a letter from the two overseers to you and Lord Tan!" ”

Xia Wanchun hurriedly took the letter over to watch, and Tan Guilin also came over.

"Haha! That's it, it's right! The two adults are good means, good means! ”

Xia Wanchun laughed, and Tan Guilin on the side was already smiling.

"Cungu, we don't have anything to worry about now, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will have a decisive battle with Tokugawa Iemitsu's army, this time, we will definitely beat him to the north!"

Tan Guilin said with a smile.

Xia Wanchun nodded and replied: "Brother Tan, mobilize our army, all the elite main forces of the Tianxiong Army have been transferred, and even the amphibious battalion is ready to participate in the battle. ”

With the letter from Qin Mufeng and Cha Shu, the two of them regained their former vigor, there were 10,000 troops doing internal response, and in a few days, the Tianxiong Army and the Satsuma Domain Army were about to land nearby, what else was there to fear? Sure to win!

Almost at the same time, Taka Kato, sent by Shimazu Kure, also arrived in the camp of the Toei army and came straight to see Shimazu Mitsuri.

"Let me sneak attack the main Tokugawa force when the war starts in Japan?"

Shimazu Mitsuri was stunned, took the family head token from Kato Taka and checked it carefully, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Shimazu Mitsuri, have you seen enough? Do you dare to doubt the authenticity of the token? ”

Kato Takashi said coldly.
