Chapter 133: 200,000 Shogunate Soldiers

Zhou Xian had already asked Zhou Fugui to find more ships last time and transport more soldiers over quickly.

Time was quickly lost in waiting, and after another eight days, the third batch of Zhou's army finally came, this time with 20,000 soldiers.

With 50,000 Zhou family troops, it should be more than enough to exterminate the Changzhou Domain, Zhou Xian asked the newly arrived Zhou family army soldiers to rest for a day, and prepared to send troops to the Changzhou Domain in one day.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and Zhou Xian received bad news that night.

This news disrupted Zhou Xian's plan completely, and he had to solve the current problem first.

So Zhou Xian gathered all the officers overnight.

Xiang Shaoyun had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the messenger say that he was urgently assembled, he hurriedly got up from the bed and hurried to the hall.

When Xiang Shaoyun came to the hall, he found that the lights were bright, and many officers had already come, and Xiang Shaoyun saw that Daniel Zhang was also there, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Commander, why did the chairman gather everyone so late?" ”

"There are 200,000 Fuso people coming towards us, probably the soldiers of the shogunate." Daniel Zhang whispered.

"200,000 soldiers?"

Xiang Shaoyun's face changed when he heard this.

Just as Daniel Zhang was about to say something, Zhou Xian walked in from behind.

Seeing Zhou Xian coming, everyone saluted!

"Good to grow!"

"Hello everyone! Let's all sit down! ”

Zhou Xian nodded at everyone.

After seeing everyone sit down, Zhou Xian cleared his throat, "It's so late to bother everyone, because the shogunate's 200,000 army is only a few hours away from us. ”

"What shogunate's 200,000 troops?"

"Are you that close to us?"

"Is the president's news reliable?"

The officers asked all sorts of questions.

"The news was brought back by the reconnaissance battalion, it is absolutely reliable, you don't need to doubt it, I am looking for you now to arrange a mission."

Zhou Xian said in an affirmative tone.

"Please give the order of the president!"

Xiang Shaoyun reacted first.

"Please give the order of the president!"

At this time, everyone in the hall also spoke.

"Xiang Shaoyun led a division to deploy defenses in the east of the city!

Zhang Qingyun led a division to deploy defenses in the north of the city!

Wu Haibin led a division to deploy defenses in the south of the city!

Bao Changwu, Ma Jinzhong, Yang Yuwen, and Yang Zhenghai led the remaining three divisions and were ready to support at any time in the city. ”

Zhou Xian immediately gave an order.

As the order was given, the officers walked out of the hall and headed for their camp, it was an emergency, and the defense must be deployed as soon as possible.

Nagasaki tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and this time it is Matsudaira Tadanao, the right-hand man of the Tokugawa iejin, who leads the shogunate's army of 200,000.

Matsudaira Tadanao was an impatient man and had a short temper, so his subordinates were more afraid of him.

At this time, the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the shogunate were only a dozen miles away from Nagasaki, and it stands to reason that the army should rest for a day before going to Nagasaki to destroy the Ming army, which is more safe.

However, Matsudaira Tadanao insisted on setting off to attack Nagasaki tonight, according to his words, it was a sneak attack on the Ming army, and the Ming army was taken by surprise.

According to the news he just got, the Ming army came with another 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, as long as his 200,000 troops rushed in front of the Ming army, the Ming army would be in chaos, and it would not be easy to win at that time.

Another reason for attacking Nagasaki now is that Matsudaira Tadanao is not sure how many Ming troops are coming, and it is really possible to face more Ming troops in one day.

Matsudaira's decision may seem reckless, but it's the result of a lot of thought along the way.

After this decision was made, the 200,000 Fuso soldiers of the shogunate, under the orders of the officers, had to hurry while scolding their mothers in their hearts.

When the Fuso soldiers of the shogunate arrived in Nagasaki, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening, and this was the time when people were most sleepy.

Matsudaira Tadashi looked straight at Nagasaki Castle in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips, soon the city would be his own.

"Attack!"

Matsudaira waved his right hand and gave the order.

Then 20,000 Fuso soldiers rushed to Nagasaki Castle first.

When these Fuso soldiers rushed to 500 meters from Nagasaki Castle.

Suddenly, five bright rays of light shot down from the city wall, illuminating the Fusang soldiers clearly, and the eyes of the Fuso soldiers who were illuminated by the bright light suddenly turned white and could not see anything.

"What kind of light is this?"

"My eyes can't see!"

"Why is the sun suddenly appearing?"

The Fusang soldiers who were illuminated were suddenly in chaos, some retreated, some ran to both sides, and there was chaos.

Xiang Shaoyun saw this scene and ordered without hesitation.

"Shoot!"

As Xiang Shaoyun's words fell

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Da Da Da"

"Tutu Tu Tu"

Suddenly, the sound of all kinds of guns came out.

Under the full fire of the Zhou family's army, the Fusang soldiers who were illuminated by the carbon arc lamp were shot one after another and fell down in a scream.

The Fusang soldiers in the back were a little frightened when they saw this scene, and they didn't know whether to retreat or move on.

Without the orders of the officers behind, they did not dare to retreat, and they did not have the courage to rush forward, so they stood still and did not move.

Matsudaira Tadanao was furious when he saw this scene in the back, but he didn't expect that he would come to attack the Ming army and be counterattacked by the Ming army.

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush forward, although he didn't know what the weapons in the hands of the Ming army were, but he thought that it was some high-level firearms, as long as they rushed in front of the Ming army, their firearms would become useless at all.

There were also 5,000 arquebus soldiers on his side, and Matsudaira Tadanao ordered the arquebus soldiers to take cover, and the soldiers continued to charge.

At the same time, they sent all the troops and horses to attack the north of Nagasaki, and the east only allowed more than 10,000 people to charge, and no matter how many people there were, they could only watch from behind.

After receiving Matsudaira Tadanao's order, the following generals began to act, one general led 50,000 Fuso soldiers to the north, and the remaining 150,000 troops continued to attack the city here.

After the Fusang soldiers in the back adapted to the carbon arc lamp, they rushed towards the Zhou family army collectively as if they were dying.

The five thousand arquebusier soldiers in the back also lit the arquebuses and followed behind the charging soldiers.

Seeing that they were rushing again, the Zhou family army was not polite, and directly began to strafe, and then the artillery also began to bombard the Fusang soldiers with mortars.

Every time a mortar shell exploded in the crowd, more than a dozen hapless Fuso soldiers were killed.

This feeling of being shelled is even more terrifying than being hit by a bullet, after all, the soldiers in the back do not have to worry about being hit by a bullet in front, but mortar shells fall from the sky and specifically blow up the people behind them.

This caused the charge to be less dense, so that they had no way to rush in front of the Zhou family's army.

The arquebus soldiers in the back had no way to get close at all, so they could only shoot from a distance of three hundred meters, but this effect had no effect at all, and not a single soldier of the Zhou family army was hit.

However, after they moved forward, they suffered heavy losses after being strafed by the Zhou family's military machine guns, and soon only more than 1,000 people were left to flee back.

In this kind of tragic war, in just half an hour, 30,000 Fuso soldiers were killed on the spot.

Looking at the bodies all over the ground, the Fusang soldiers behind were frightened and did not dare to continue to rush forward.

At this time, a Fuso general came to Matsudaira Tadanao and persuaded him: "The general can't do this, let's withdraw the troops first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

"It is not allowed to withdraw the troops, it is not easy to rush to such a close distance, if the troops are withdrawn, it will be a failure! Keep rushing for me! ”

Matsudaira Tadanao commanded loudly.

He has a strong strength and refuses to admit defeat, even if more than 30,000 Fusang soldiers die, he doesn't care, he just wants to break through the defense line of the Ming army.

The generals had no choice but to go back and continue to supervise the battle, and let the soldiers continue to charge.

Another death charge began, and the Fuso soldiers stepped on the bodies of the dead soldiers and rushed forward.

Looking at the Fusang soldiers who rushed forward again, the soldiers of the Zhou family army did not have a little fluctuation in their hearts, since they dared to rush at the soldiers of the Zhou family, they dared to fight.

In this way, another round of slaughter began, because the overseers behind were frantically slashing and slashing the retreating Fusang soldiers, and this time the Fusang soldiers rushed forward as if they were crazy.
