Moreover, after the defeat of the navy yesterday, most of the samurai who could clearly tell what they saw and heard on the battlefield were killed, and those who came back either did not see the situation on the battlefield clearly, or were terrified and couldn't say clearly, only said that there were three huge ships with countless cannons on them! was also scolded by several family elders, only saying that they were scared!

So now that they see the new warships, they naturally have to pay more attention, and after looking at them, they also think that they can't do it. So after they discussed it, when they saw the three cruisers approaching, they picked up their binoculars again and looked carefully, wanting to see what the Ming army on the opposite side was capable of, so that those veterans who had been in battle for a long time panicked!

Just as they were watching, they suddenly saw the gun doors on the side of the opposing ship open, and dozens of guns were pushed out! In an instant, the three ships turned into hedgehogs with spikes blown up! It was only Shimazu Yoshihisa and others who knew that the soldiers who reported the news did not tell a lie!

Seeing so many artillery pieces on the other side's ship, Shimazu Yoshihisa immediately dropped his binoculars and said loudly, "Quickly notify the people on the dock to withdraw!" Fast! 「

Not only did Shimazu Yoshihisa panic, but even when he heard that his three younger brothers and other retainers also had their faces changed drastically, they roared loudly and ordered the people next to him to shake their flags! But where is the time at this time! The three cruisers were already more than 200 steps away from the pier, and the hull of the ship was aimed at the right side of the dock! Then the platoon cannon rang out, and the scorching iron balls smashed into the dense army on the dock!

The distance of more than 200 paces is simply close at hand for artillery, so the first round of artillery hits! Those shells smashed into the crowd, either flying the head or the arm, instantly setting off a wave of blood in the crowd, and the dock was instantly screaming, a sea of blood!

Then the other two cruisers also crossed the hull and shelled the pier, they had just fought a round, Liu Haojia's flagship had already turned right and turned around, aiming the guns on the left side at the dock, and then another volley!

After the two rounds of guns were preloaded, the three cruisers lowered their sails and slowed down, forming a semicircle around the dock, while the gunners cheered as they filled the chambers of the guns and fired shotguns!

At this time, the ship was already approaching within 100 steps of the pier, but the dense shells were so embarrassed that they couldn't care about counterattacking at all! Until now, not even a single buckshot has hit the strings of the ship! Look at the Japanese again, they were swept by solid shells twice on the unsheltered dock, and their morale has plummeted! But fortunately, solid shells have linear damage, and there are not many casualties, so it is different if you can replace them with shotguns and chain bullets!

These two things were originally prepared for dense crowds, and the fleet hit just a few more blood holes on the people around them, and the sound of the chain belt just whistling and flying was already terrifying! In the crowd of people who are struggling to watch it, the straightened chain can tell a person in half!

Especially in the case of extreme coincidence, there happened to be a chain bullet flying over the shoulder, and it neatly carried a series of flying human heads! This scene was so terrifying that after just two rounds of progressive shooting, the Japanese soldiers on the dock completely collapsed, crying and shouting backwards!

Seeing that the Japanese were beginning to retreat, the three cruisers pursued after two rounds of continuous fire before they stopped firing. They stopped shooting because although the Japanese were still within range, the crowd was scattered, and the cannon could not hit a few people, so it was better to save some ammunition.

Then the three cruisers turned around and fired a series of cannons at the soldiers on the shore. These soldiers had already seen what happened to their companions on the dock just now, and they were already frightened! However, fortunately, the military order was given to retreat in time, although it was said that there was a small loss, but it finally escaped out of range.

As soon as they evacuated, the entire wharf and its surroundings were empty, Liu Haojia waved the flag, and a large number of ships stepped forward in turn, and easily approached the wharf! Then a large number of soldiers ran down from the gangplank with cheers, formed a formation on the dock and slowly pushed outward! So the landing that worried Liu Haojia the most was so easily!

Shimazu Yoshihisa was furious when he saw this situation, but he still held his voice and said, "It's okay, it's just a small setback before the war, after all, the war hasn't started yet!" If you want to come to these Ming troops by stepping on the sea, there must not be many troops! And this place has exhausted the elite of my Shimazu family, and when they are out of range of artillery, I can wipe them out with one blow!"

The other retainers also steadied themselves under his influence and answered in unison. Then Shimazu Yoshihisa waved his military match and said, "Okay, you don't have to watch the battle here, you all go to your own camp, and then meet under the horse seal. Yoshihiro, I'll leave the defense of the castle to you!"

The retainers answered in unison and dispersed, and Shimazu Yoshihiro stood aside with someone. As for Shimazu Yoshihisa, after a moment of silence at the head of the castle, he walked down the city wall surrounded by several samurai and small surnames. He had already set up a garrison on a small high post outside the city, and erected a banner and a horse seal!

By the time he arrived at the flag, his retainers had already ordered the soldiers to list more than a dozen phalanxes, with iron guns and archers in the front row. It seems that he intends to attack the opponent with long-range weapons first. Behind them are the spearmen and the samurai, and there are actually two teams of cavalry on the left and right flanks, which can be described as elite! Look at the book

Shimazu Yoshihisa was a smart man, and when he interrogated the defeated troops, he guessed that the Nationalist army would definitely land. So he transferred all the troops around Kagoshima back overnight, and organized them overnight, although he looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but he also knew that the war should not be neglected, and he still seriously prepared for battle!

After sitting down on the horse, Shimazu Yoshihisa picked up the binoculars and looked at the dock, only to see that in the open space outside the dock, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army who had just gathered were also lining up. However, in his opinion, these Ming soldiers were very different from the Ming soldiers he knew.

First of all, these Ming soldiers did not wear fat jackets, they all wore tight-fitting clothes, which looked very neat. It's just that there is an extra shiny cuirass on the chest! This cuirass has a rather strange style, from the throat directly to the lower abdomen, it is actually one, and it looks very strong.

Then the formation they put on was also extremely strange, and they actually put out five or nine hollow phalanxes in the front four and five or nine in the back, and there were no sword and shield soldiers in this phalanx, only four spearmen in the four corners. However, the spears in their hands are almost a little more than a foot, and they look extremely flexible when they shake in the wind! Shimazu Yoshihisa could see that the spears in the four corners were only afraid of falling, just enough to cover the whole array.
