"Feeding war with war?"

Qin Mufeng looked at Cha Bolt and asked.

Cha Shu nodded and replied: "Now the situation is obvious, if we send fewer warships to protect, we are not the opponent of the Zheng family's fleet, and no matter how much food we escort, it will be difficult to protect Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon's pockets; There are many warships sent, and it can't be done, and now that the war is fierce, our fleet is not allowed to leave Kyushu Island for a long time, once and again, it will take ten days, if there is a slight delay, even fifteen days is possible, in the face of Tokugawa Iemitsu's army, how can we make the fleet leave the vicinity of Kyushu Island for a long time? ”

Qin Mufeng nodded slightly, Cha Shu said well, the current situation is becoming more and more severe, he and Cha Shu still underestimate the combat power of the Dongying army, in just over half a month, the Tokugawa shogunate actually mobilized 60,000 heavy troops from Honshu Island into Kyushu Island, plus the strength of the major names on Kyushu Island, there are more than 100,000 people, this is on the territory of other people, although the Ming army is brave and good at fighting, but it is also easy to suffer, if the imperial fleet such a powerful mobile combat force is sent back to Songjiang Mansion, once something happens, It was too late to rescue.

Cha Xuan continued: "Mu Feng, now the situation is tense, we brothers, we can't be crowded together, you immediately go to the west, sit in the main army, I command the battle in the Satsuma Domain, echo each other from afar, the fleet is all handed over to Zheng Haotian and Du Xin, the imperial fleet patrols the sea frontier, and as soon as there is a battle situation, immediately rush to help!" The most important thing is that we must concentrate our forces and take a few granaries on Kyushu Island first, and we must ensure that our army has constant food, otherwise, there will be big trouble......"

"The ......"

Liu Changyan glanced at the two supervisors, and stopped talking.

Cha Bolt saw it and shouted: "If you have something to say, let it go, don't spit it out, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Changyan snorted: "The two Governors, they returned to Songjiang Mansion and saw the Lord of the Ministry, and he was very dissatisfied with the use of troops by the two of you, and even scolded the two of you......"

Forehead......

The two brothers' faces turned dark, and Brother Yifan scolded the two of them? Why? Sick, right? Could it be that he saw that our brothers were fighting, and his eyes were red?

"Liu Changyan, what did Xu Butang scold us?"

Liu Changyan stammered and relayed Xu Yifan's words, and replied: "Master Supervisor, these words are all scolded by Xu Butang, and he wants me to convey it to you, I don't dare to hide it, I can only tell the truth......

Qin Mufeng and Cha Xuan glanced at each other, with a wry smile in their hearts, wiped it, so far away, Yifan judged the situation so clearly, now that the two of them are divided, isn't it a bit difficult to ride a tiger? The forces were scattered, and they were easily broken by the Dongying army. On the entire Kyushu Island, more than 100,000 troops have now been gathered, and these troops are not comparable to the officers and soldiers of the original guards of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of them have a certain combat power, especially the combat power of the army of the Satsuma Domain is even stronger, don't look at it, the former drove Shimazu Gyuri to flee in all directions like Sun Tzu, but even if it is defeated, the main force of Shimazu Gyuri can still return to Kagoshima Castle safely, as long as the main force is not damaged, then the Satsuma Domain still has the hope of turning the tide of the war!

"Lao Cha, what do you say now? Do you want to abandon the Satsuma Domain and concentrate your forces against the main army of Tokugawa Iemitsu? ”

Qin Mufeng asked with a wry smile.

Cha Xuan frowned, shook his head, and replied: "No, it will be more passive to withdraw from the Satsuma Domain at this time, it is still the current layout, we must solve one of the threats as soon as possible, didn't the eldest brother say it?" Concentrate all your strength to defeat the enemy with one move, Dongying wants to defeat us individually, why don't we do this? ”

"And what do you want to do?"

Qin Mufeng asked.

Cha Xuan sneered: "Simple, anyway, we have just replenished the ammunition now, the ammunition is sufficient, now the main fleet is gathered in the bay of the Satsuma Domain, first kill the sailors of the Satsuma Domain, and then the Imperial Fleet immediately turns, bypassing the Osumi Peninsula, and going straight to the North Fu Bay, where is the rear of the shogunate army, the Dongying fleet is there now to help the war, we even pack up the Dongying fleet, without the two fleets of the Dongying, our fleet will be free, and we can attack wherever we want, You can even send the main force back to Songjiang Mansion! ”

Qin Mufeng's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then what are you waiting for?" Let's clean up this Satsuma Domain Water Master of Matsushita Yuanji first! ”

Cha Xuan nodded and said, "Mu Feng, you lead the main force of infantry and cavalry to advance quickly towards Kagoshima Castle, threaten Kagoshima Castle from the land, and launch a fierce attack on Kagoshima Castle from the south!" In this way, the Satsuma Domain Naval Division will definitely go to the waters of Kagoshima Castle to provide support, so I can block it in this small area! ”

After the two of them discussed the countermeasures, Qin Mufeng took the lead in action.

18,000 infantry, 5,000 elite cavalry, plus four artillery battalions, move together and go straight to Kagoshima Castle!

From Osumi Town to Kagoshima Castle, it is only a little more than 100 miles, and according to the speed of the Tenxiong army, it can be easily reached in two days.

On the third day, the army arrived at Kagoshima Castle!

Shimazu Mitsuhisa had already received the news, and he continued to mobilize troops from other places to prepare for defense, Kagoshima Castle was the old nest of the Satsuma Domain, and there was absolutely no room for failure.

However, as soon as the Ming army appeared in Kagoshima Castle, Shimazu Mitsuhisa was frightened.

Qin Mufeng was unceremonious, and directly mobilized forty artillery pieces to launch an attack on the southern city of Kagoshima Castle!

Boom Boom Boom ......

As soon as it came up, it was extremely fierce and bombarded Kagoshima Castle for a whole day, even Kagoshima Castle, the city is tall, far better than Osumi Town, and it can't stand the long-term bombardment of the Ming artillery!

In the face of dense shells and constant explosions, the Satsuma Domain army is as white as the earth, and has never seen such a huge power of artillery fire, it is too fatal, as long as it is hit, it will be broken bones, the Satsuma Domain army is not afraid of death, but it is impossible to fight with the Ming army head-on and lose his life, it is too worthless, and the death is too embarrassing......

"Herald! Immediately order Matsushita Yuanji's naval division to return to reinforcements and launch an attack on the Ming army from the sea, quickly, must be fast! Be sure to contain the artillery fire of the Ming army! The Satsuma Domain, ready to fight, must suppress the arrogance of the Ming army! ”

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's heart was shocked, he provoked such a strong enemy, specially, he was unlucky, he would rather face the army of the shogunate than face the Ming army with extremely sharp firearms, it was completely a group of devils!
