When everyone heard Liu Haojia's order, they immediately cheered! It must be known that it is forbidden to drink alcohol during the expedition of the army, but where can the men of the sea be separated from spirits! After sailing at sea for many days, the wine worm in the stomach has long been unbearable, and today the Hou Ye opened his mouth, so he naturally drank happily!

That night, all the boats got together, and their respective cooks showed off their skills and made everything they could eat! All the sake stored in each ship was also taken out and drunk! Everyone knew that it was only a day's journey from the civil servants, and they were not afraid to drink the wine on this ship. As long as you log in, you will naturally have alcohol to drink!

So there is no need to persuade the drinkers, and the crowd is already half drunk! Fortunately, everyone knew that the big war was imminent, and it was not excessive, so they stopped when they were half drunk. So the feast did not end until the full moon, and the officers left the night watchmen to sleep.

On the second day, the fleet of the three poles of the Japanese sailed slowly, and after slowing down the speed of the voyage, they sailed for a day and a half, and they were already approaching the coastline of the civil officials, and in front of them they could already see the castle harbor, and their destination was here!

When the ship approached the port, everyone found that there was not a single ship on the sea! Not even a single fishing boat has ever appeared here, and it seems that the Shimazu family knew that the sailors were useless, so they deliberately avoided it.

Liu Haojia raised his binoculars and looked at the shore, only to see a large number of troops slowly forming formation. Then I moved the binoculars to the distant city wall, and saw a large group of people dressed as samurai pointing directly at the head of the city, and some people were ordered to leave from time to time. It seems that the Shimazu family has gathered forces on land and is preparing to prevent them from landing.

Finally, Liu Haojia took a closer look at the dock, pursed his lips and put away the binoculars. Because he found that the people of the Shimazu family did not seem to know how to counter-landing. Because they have a large number of soldiers on the dock without shelter! In Liu Haojia's opinion, these people are sent to death!"

However, the ship's pathfinder reported that there were a lot of logs nailed into the sea next to the pier, and if the boat approached, it could pierce the bottom of the ship if it touched the logs! Moreover, they also arranged a large number of archers and iron cannons on the dock, and also prepared spears in the rear, which seemed to be prepared to cause casualties with long-range fire when Liu Haojia approached, and then counterattack with reserve forces.

Later, several other way-finding ships sent news, and several places that were easy to land were also watched by the Shimazu family, and wooden stakes were nailed into the water. It seems that the Shimazu family still cares about it!

After asking about the news, Liu Haojia said, "When will the tide start to recede here?"

The officer who came to report the news said, "I guess there are two hours left."

Liu Haojia thought about it and said, "Let's force the landing from the dock! First, send someone to clear the wooden stakes, and the other ships will prepare for the docking."

Then the officer sent his men to lower the boats, which had four paddlemen, four sword and shield soldiers, and two water ghosts!

As soon as the boats fell into the sea, the oarsmen plunged their oars into the water and paddled vigorously, and the boats headed for the pier. Seeing this, the Japanese people immediately reacted. The iron guns are ready to fight. But they are also very strange, if the other party wants to land on the beach, it is impossible to send only a few dozen small boats!

When the boats approached, they calculated that the distance was still out of the effective range of the iron cannons, and the officers ordered the soldiers not to act rashly. When I was wondering, I saw two people jumping into the water in each boat, but there seemed to be ropes or something like that tied to their waists.

Only then did Liu Haojia smile and say to everyone, "These Japanese people have a biased understanding of the art of war! If the navy can't win, will it all be withdrawn? At this time, if we leave some small boats to attack us, how can our people approach the dock so easily!"

At this time, Li Wenliang stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, having said that, you still have to worry about the Japanese counterattack!"

Liu Haojia nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly the reason! Li Wenliang, Zhang Zhiyong, you each command half of the fleet to the left and right, in case of a surprise attack by the Japanese naval army."

Li Wenliang and Zhang Zhiyong took the order, and then many ships were divided into the fleet to patrol left and right. And the boat ahead is still busy. I saw that after the water ghost went into the water, he fixed the iron claws in his hand on the wooden stake, and then the small boat flew like a fly, pulling out the wooden stakes in the sea one by one.

Seeing this, those Japanese people were impatient, but the boat was far away

Outside the range of bows and arrows and iron cannons, they could only watch.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two hours are about to pass, and the sea begins to slowly recede. As soon as the tide recedes, the wooden stakes in the sea can be seen more clearly, making it easier for water spirits to pull out.

After less than two quarters, the wooden stakes around the pier had been cleared. When the boats searched again and made sure that there were no more stakes, they waved the red flag, and the fleet suddenly cheered and thundered, knowing that the attack was about to begin! It's just that the dock is quite densely populated, and if you want to rush up, I'm afraid it will be difficult!.

Just when the soldiers were gearing up to kill and make meritorious contributions, they saw three cruisers raise their sails and slowly approach the pier. Seeing this, the Japanese people on the dock took action one after another, and under the command of the samurai, they began to form a dense formation, preparing to meet the enemy with iron cannons and bows!

At this moment, the samurai watching the battle from the castle tower finally reacted. The four people who are surrounded in the middle are the Shimazu brothers, the contemporary governor of the Shimazu family.

If you kick to the Shimazu family, you will definitely not be able to avoid Shimazu Yoshihisa and kick the three brothers! They are Yoshihiro Shimazu, Tokihisa Shimazu and Iehisa Shimazu. The four brothers did not have a fight in the big family at all, but worked together to almost unify Kyushu! As a result, the Shimazu family earned the title of "the strongest Satsuma samurai in the Warring States"! But now this title is not in hand!

At this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa put down his binoculars and said to the people around him, "Are those three ships a big ship for Westerners?"

He was helpless to ask this, because the city wall was too far away from the dock, and the telescope effect was too poor, so he couldn't see clearly. Shimazu Iehisa took the binoculars and looked at them carefully, and then said, "It's indeed a big ship for Westerners."

Shimazu Yoshihisa nodded and said, "It is said that there are many guns on this ship, but it doesn't look like there are many signs of artillery on the deck, could it be that the navy lied about the military situation yesterday?"

It is not surprising that Shimazu Yoshihisa asked this, because he has never seen this new type of gunboat, and this kind of new gunboat is similar to Western warships, but he has never seen Western ships, so he can only guess.

Moreover, at this time, the ships that came to Asia were all merchant ships, and most of the guns were arranged on the deck, and there was no special gun deck for warships, so they did not know the actual situation at all by relying on the news from overseas ronin.
