Chapter 684: Hijacking
Liu Chuang's arrival was tantamount to a tiger with wings, and after exterminating 20,000 Fuso sailors, including Sakai Jiro, the balance of victory tilted in their favor in this battle.
According to Liu Chuang's intentions, after Sakai Jiro was killed, he would follow a secret path on the island and return to Zhoushan Island, and now his identity has not been revealed.
After infiltrating, you can take your subordinates with you at a critical moment and capture Yamashita alive.
On Su Qi'an's side, he led a group of Yuezhou sailors to cooperate with him to launch a frontal attack, and the two sides should cooperate with each other, as long as Yamashita Yong is captured alive, this battle is basically a certainty.
Liu Chuang's plan is a bit risky, but it is very feasible, once it is completed, at least it will reduce casualties, Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo and Su Yong discussed, and did not refuse to agree directly.
After clarifying the plan, Liu Chuang did not delay, and clasped his fists at Su Qi'an and the others, and then the prepared boat, under the gaze of everyone, disappeared into the sea.
Su Qi'an came back to his senses, looked at the corpse of Jiro Sakai, didn't say anything, waved his hand, signaled to take it down, and when the war was over, he would be buried directly.
This is the unpredictable in the dark, as the old saying goes, often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet.
Sakai Jiro is so cautious and cunning, but he never imagined that he would have this day, and he would die at the hands of the people he always thought he had.
However, for this day, Liu Chuang has been preparing for a long time, and the relationship between him and Sakai Jiro has not been so harmonious, and there are contradictions between the two sides and they do not deal with each other.
In order to gain Sakai's trust, he has been looking for the right opportunity, and the rescue in the last battle of the coast of Dongshu was a godsend.
With the idea of taking into account the overall situation, he personally led people to rescue, not only that, but also to save Jiro Sakai, he was hit by an arrow for him.
But if the accuracy of that arrow is accurate, Liu Chuang will probably be planted.
Liu Chuang's rescue regardless of life and death was not only admired by many of his subordinates on the island, but even Jiro Sakai, who was not dealing with him, was also slightly lowered his guard by his actions and was a little moved.
Then Sakai Jiro was going to punish him with death to apologize, and there were many critical voices on the island, and at this time, it was Liu Chuang who held his body that had not yet healed, pleaded with Yamashita bravely, and analyzed everything from the standpoint of the overall situation.
That kind of generosity, no one on the island was dissatisfied, and just like that, Sakai Jiro's wariness of Liu Chuang was eliminated.
Then in the battle with the Dongzhou Naval Division, Liu Chuang alone supported the logistics of the Naval Division, and fully dispatched and supported Sakai Jiro in the battle.
As the battle deepened, after Xie Cang fell into the trap of Yamashita Yong, the task of the Fuso sailor was basically completed, and Sakai Jiro quickly fled in the melee.
said that life and death would be put aside, but there was a chance to escape, how could he not cherish it.
And it was none other than Liu Chuang who took him to escape, and under Liu Chuang's response, Sakai Jiro temporarily escaped from this dangerous sea.
thought that he could escape from Ascension and return to Zhoushan Island, he was thinking about how to fight with Su Qi'an's Dongzhou soldiers, but just when Sakai Jiro was relaxed, Liu Chuang attacked without warning, and a knife pierced the heart from the back, and Sakai Jiro had time to react and died on the spot. Xiu Shu
And the accompanying guards, in a frightened stunned expression, were solved by Liu Chuang.
This may be fate, in the history of various dynasties, many famous and famous people, no matter how much turmoil and changes were made before.
But in the final ending, most of them were killed by some unknown little people, not to mention characters like Jiro Sakai, who died and died.
Sakai Jiro's death is worth death for Liu Chuang, and if he is killed in the battle on the coast of Dongzhou, Liu Chuang will have no chance to gain great prestige on the island.
And saved Sakai Jiro's life, and now, his status, identity, and prestige have gradually caught up with Yamashita Yong, and his power on the island has also become bigger.
This is the fundamental reason why Liu Chuang did not kill Sakai Jiro for the time being, although Sakai Jiro is ruthless, he is a good commander after all.
The war is imminent, even if it is Yamashita Yu, he will not let Sakai Jiro die in vain, and if he wants to die, he will have to die in his plan
。
It was precisely because he saw through Yamashita Yong's plot that Liu Chuang would desperately intercede for Sakai Jiro.
If there is no force to intercede, their plan for this battle will not be implemented smoothly, and then it depends on Liu Chuang's return to the island, cooperate with him, and capture Yamashita Yong alive in one fell swoop.
Not long after Liu Chuang's ship disappeared, the well-prepared Yuezhou Naval Division, under Su Qi'an's order, went straight to Zhoushan Island at the fastest speed.
Now they are less than ten nautical miles away from Zhoushan Island, and the island at this time can be described as quite lively.
It was the excitement of the outbreak of the Great War, and if you look at it from a high altitude, the outer and central parts of Zhoushan Island, and the three locations of the Inner Island, are all bursting out of fierce battles.
In the outer and inner islands, it can be clearly seen that the two forces, which are converging inside and outside, are constantly advancing towards the central region.
The battle situation in the central region was particularly fierce, and in the face of the encirclement of the two forces, Xie Cang led the landing troops on the island and tried their best to counterattack.
At this time, Xie Cang's face was solemn, according to the plan, everything went well, after they landed on the island, they conquered the outer and central parts of Zhoushan Island one after another at the fastest speed, and then gathered all their forces to storm the last inner island.
Although the Japanese pirates on the inner island are fiercely resisting, it should be about an hour at most to settle the battle.
But who would have thought that just half an hour ago, a large number of Fuso sailor warriors suddenly appeared in the rear waters of the outer islands that were conquered.
They waited as if for a long time, first with an artillery bombardment, and then, quickly landing ashore, and directly engaging with his rearguard troops.
Not only that, but with the sudden rush out of the Fuso sailor, the recalcitrant pirates of the inner island who were beaten by him were like being beaten with chicken blood.
Everyone screamed and rushed out of the counterattack directly, compared with the defeat and retreat just now, and they were completely judged to be like two people.
Under the trap in front and rear, Xie Cang's army was obviously a little overwhelmed, and began to shrink in the central region.
Xie Cang knew that he was in an ambush, but he did not panic, and immediately ordered to defend according to the plan.
The two most dangerous front lines in front and behind were all carried by the two armies of Dongshan and Rifting Mountain, and the remaining Dongzhou soldiers obeyed orders and assisted in support. Ь.
Although there was resistance from Dongshan and Rifted Mountain, a lot of troops were consumed in the battle to land on the island, and less than 20,000 of the 30,000 troops who landed on the island could fight.
And this time, the 10,000 Fuso sailors in the outer seas did not suffer any losses, and the 20,000 pirates and pirates on the inner islands of the turtle retreated to about 10,000 who could fight.
In terms of troops, they are at a disadvantage, although it is not very large at present, but as they continue to wear out, they are likely to lose this battle.
Xie Cang's face was solemn, his eyes flashed, he listened to the report of his subordinates, nodded, and issued orders one after another very calmly.
His eyes looked at the fierce battle on the inner island ahead, and he took a deep breath, as if he had made up some kind of determination in his heart.
If the attrition continues to expand and the war becomes more and more unfavorable to him, he will give a final order, all the soldiers, desperately to storm the inner island, regardless of any casualties, must take the inner island.
Only by taking the inner island can they rely on the terrain of the inner island to fight back against the Fuso sailors in the rear.
Compared with concentrating their forces to storm the rear naval division troops and take the inner islands, the survival of their land armies will be higher.
It's just that this order will not be issued until it is absolutely necessary, and Xie Cang still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the Dongzhou Navy Division can come to support.
Xie Cang's thoughts, Yamashita Yong of the inner island looked at the stalemate in front of him, how did he not know.
In addition to ordering his subordinates to strengthen the counterattack, he also sent a message to Xie Cang that most of his so-called reinforcements were dead, and even if they could come, they would only be a thousand people, and it was better to surrender on their own initiative than to hold expectations.
This is Yamashita Isamu's psychological offensive, although he doesn't know how the battle between the Toshu Naval Division and Sakai Jiro is, but according to his estimate, even if Sakai Jiro is defeated, the two naval divisions have the same strength, and even if the Eastern Prefecture Naval Division wins, it will only be a miserable victory.
With this kind of crushing victory, how many people can be left in their hands?
In order to be able to eat Xie Cang's landing troops in one bite, Yamashita Yong endured for a long time and paid
A huge price, and this price is the total annihilation of half of the Fuso Naval Division.
But as long as you eat these 30,000 Dongzhou troops, everything is worth it.
As time passed, the fierce battle between the two sides became more and more fierce, and Yamashita Yong's eyes flashed, just as he was preparing for his next move, further narrowing the encirclement, and making Xie Cang's army completely become the end of the crossbow, suddenly one of his subordinates came down to report.

"Back to the big master, the second master is back."
Yamashita Yong's eyes flashed, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, and after a while, Liu Chuang's figure appeared, he stumbled, and there were some scars on his body and face.
Without waiting for Yamashita to speak, Liu Chuang hurriedly said, "Oh no, the big boss, the three masters have been killed, and the fleet of the Dongzhou Naval Division that we blocked is basically wiped out."
Yamashita Yong's face was solemn, he looked at Liu Chuang and said, "What's the matter, tell me 1510 clearly."
Liu Chuang calmed down his emotions, and then said the words he had prepared.
After hearing this, Yamashita Yong was silent for a long time, and sighed, "This may be the life of the three masters, I don't blame you for this, you did your best, I didn't expect this Su Qi'an to have such a hand," but let me underestimate him."
"You go down and rest first, this matter is left to me to deal with, it's just a 10,000 Yuezhou sailors, even if they rush to the island, these 30,000 land troops should be eaten."
"Inherit the order of the master, take out all the family resources, gather them in one place, blast a hole for me, and all the soldiers will be in one place, and break them through them in one go!"
His subordinates received the order, and they were just about to turn around and leave, when suddenly, there was a coldness from the neck of Yamashita Yong.
Yamashita Yong was stunned, and he looked at it, and at some point, Liu Chuang was holding a short knife in his hand and directly held him hostage.
Not only that, but even the guards around him were controlled by other subordinates.
"Liu San, you're crazy, what do you want to do!"
