Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 676 Kyushu Battle 1
Thick smoke was billowing on the sea, densely covered with dark clouds, and there were explosions from time to time, and the thunder-like shaking made even the air tremble slightly, which was very frightening.

The sea water has been slightly reddened by blood, countless corpses and pieces of wood are floating up and down on the surface of the sea, and more people are shouting wildly on the rapidly tilting battleship, or holding everything that floats. Things jumped into the sea and swam desperately to the sea, even though they were so far away, they could still vaguely hear their cries.

Shimadzu Nushi stood on the hill by the sea, watching the tragedy on the sea with a binoculars, without saying a word, his not burly body was like an iceberg, but the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and his teeth were gritted.

His navy, it's over, it's all over!
They were annihilated by the enemy in front of him!
The Satsuma Clan headed by the Shimadzu family is the ruler of the Kyushu area. Although Shimadzu Nushi does not have the name of the family governor, he has real power. He only needs to wait for the current Satsuma Clan governor Tadahiro Shimadzu, who lives in Edo, to die. Righted up.The Shimadzu family has no dark master, and the Satsuma clan can be as stable as a rock in war-torn Japan. No matter how the current situation changes, it can develop and grow. Known as "Ghost Stone Man", it can be said to be scheming, but without losing the unique coldness and tenacity of Kyushu samurai, he is a strong enemy of the Ming army.Father Shimadzu Tadahiro is also the No. 14 ruthless character. At the age of [-], he participated in the invasion of Korea with Shimadzu Yoshihiro. His reputation for bravery reached the whole army. territory.Shimadzu Nushi, who bears the glory of the whole family, is naturally no ordinary person. He has been practicing martial arts and learning the art of war since he was a child, and has become a samurai with outstanding martial arts at a young age. Because of this, Shimadzu Zhongheng handed over the entire Satsuma domain to him with confidence, and went to Edo to retire.Shimadzu is ambitious and determined to establish a military feat far surpassing that of his predecessors, so that the Shimadzu family can make further progress. Since he took power, he has made great efforts to organize and train the navy, and has established good relations with the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese, and the Dutch. Through these partners, they can obtain a large amount of weapons and materials, and strengthen the strength of the Shimadzu family.His ideal is to have another battle against the dynasty, to fight against that ancient oriental power, and to wash away the shame and humiliation of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Renchen!
Amaterasu probably thought this kind of spirit was commendable, and generously gave him the opportunity to fight the Ming army, but the time and place were not quite right—the Ming army came to their door.

In fact, Tsushima Island is not far from Hakata Bay. When the Ming army bloodbathed Tsushima Island, some fishermen ran over in shock and brought back the bad news that the Ming army and the Dutch invaded Japan.Shimadzu's anger was suddenly taken aback: did the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch take the wrong medicine? How did they get to Japan?He quickly sent three small boats to reconnaissance, and the report he got was that the Ming army and the Dutch were indeed coming, and the target was very clear, that is, they were coming, and there were many warships——as far as they saw There are more than 50 ships!
Now Shimadzu's anger is not calm, and more than 50 warships dare to come to my territory?Your courage is not small!He decisively dispatched his own navy: a fleet with more than 60 warships, ready to tear the Ming army and the Dutch into pieces!

Then he saw his own fleet attack the enemy fleet with more than five times their warships, and was quickly torn to pieces.

Bageyalu, who the hell is the one who reported that the enemy army only has more than 50 warships?Be sure to chop off his head later!

His confidant, Huashan Haogu, said worriedly: "General, our navy may be completely annihilated. No matter how unobstructed the enemy fleet is, they can land at any port unscrupulously, but we have to fortify everywhere. We are too passive." , what should I do?"

Shimadzu said: "We are waiting for them on land! They are not as handsome as you said, and the storm may come at any time. They must land as soon as possible, otherwise they will all be buried in the belly of the fish like Yuan Kou. Once they land, Our chance has come, no one is an opponent of Kyushu warriors in a step-by-step battle!"

Huashan Haogu was still a little worried: "I hope..." Looking down the mountain, all he saw were patches of brightly colored flags. The flags they recognized and carried on their backs formed a sea, with tens of thousands of Kyushu warriors and foot soldiers. The formation is light and majestic, the swords and guns are like forests, the battle flags are like clouds, and the military is at its peak, which somewhat gives him a little confidence.Kyushu samurai are known for being fierce and tenacious, and they also have the advantage of fighting at home. It shouldn't be a problem to block the enemy, right?As long as they can hold out for a few days, reinforcements from Changzhou Fan will arrive, and the enemy troops will be driven into the sea by then.If you are lucky, you don't even have to wait until the day when the Japanese army counterattacks aggressively. The enemy army has already been shot into the bottom of the sea by the huge waves caused by the hurricane...

The disastrous defeat of the Yuan army at Hakata Bay 300 years ago allowed the Japanese army to establish a psychological advantage over China. In their eyes, Japan was a country blessed by the gods and protected by the divine wind. No matter how powerful the enemy was, they decided to bring the war to Japan. From the moment they entered the mainland, they were destined to fail. Even the navy's disastrous defeat did not shake their self-confidence.

And the Ming army didn't let them wait too long. After easily tearing the pocket-sized navy of Satsuma Fan into pieces, the Transformers fleet made some adjustments and rushed towards the port.A trace of anger flashed across Shimadzu's slender face, and he said angrily: "The Ming army is too arrogant, do they think they can destroy our coastal fortifications with just a few of their warships!?"

Huashan Haogu said: "The Ming army is overjoyed! We have deployed more than a dozen Guobeng at the port, and just a few of their ships rushed over, which is not enough for us to plug our teeth...Huh? Why did they stop? ?”

The Transformers fleet stopped suddenly when it was 500 meters away from the coast.This distance made the Japanese army very uncomfortable. The forts, bed crossbows and trebuchets they deployed on the seaside could not hit so far, or they couldn't hit them at all.
Yang Menglong stood on the bow of the Decepticon, observing the fort on the coast with binoculars, and kept tsk: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's too picky, such an important fortification can't bear to use a little bit of reinforced concrete, making a mess A pile of bean curd dregs! As far as the quality of this broken fortification is concerned, let alone using naval guns, I can kick it over with one kick!"

Shen Tingyang rolled his eyes: "Master, you think Japan is us, they don't even know what cement is!"

Yang Menglong shrugged his shoulders and said: "That can only be considered unlucky for them. Let's shoot, I think those fortifications are not pleasing to the eye, so I abolished them!"

Shen Tingyang asked: "Use the rocket launcher first or the breech-loading rifled gun first?"

Yang Menglong said without hesitation, "Use the rocket launcher first, the shells of this thing are cheap!"

Shen Tingyang said: "I understand!" He turned around and ordered: "Aim the rocket launcher at the coastal fort and destroy their fortifications!"

The flag bearer immediately played the semaphore, and the rocket launchers of the four warships adjusted up and down, aiming at the coastal fort.The shells have been loaded long ago, just waiting to be ignited and launched!At this time, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the coast fort, and the shot shot came through the air, hitting a water column more than ten meters high in the sea. The power of the sample is really good!It's a pity that the accuracy was not good, and the most accurate shots missed more than 200 meters.The sailors of the Ming army curled their lips in disdain, mother, is this also called a cannon?Let me show you what a real cannon is!

"emission!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

There was a loud thunderclap, and the shooter excitedly pointed the torch towards the bundle of fuses, and hurried away when he touched it.The flames flew on the fuse, and soon climbed to the end, and then——

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Intensive and sharp whistling sounds rose from the ground, scorching air waves erupted from the rocket launcher tube, white gunpowder smoke billowed like a wall, and fire dragons shot out from the launch tube, the ballistic trajectories criss-crossed, and they converged in an instant Formed into a terrifying net of fire, screaming sharply, and slammed towards the port!The Japanese samurai and generals who were waiting in full battle raised their heads in shock, their faces turned pale when they saw the curtain of flames coming over, what the hell, it was so frightening! ?

The next moment, the curtain of fire fell, and the explosive spot exploded like a kaleidoscope, expanding into a large ball of fire, which spread at an alarming speed. The thunderous explosion made the sky rumble and the ground tremble violently. Many samurai and ashigaru only felt two His legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground!As they stared dumbfounded, Kagoshima Castle, the power center of the Satsuma Clan, turned into a boiling crater, from which terrifying flames erupted. The toothpick was turned into a torch by the high temperature generated by the explosion. The fire blazed on the canopy of the tree, and the burning branches and leaves fell like raindrops. Wherever it fell, the fire burned wherever it fell... The entire Kagoshima city was in flames, and no one knew. How many people were blown to pieces in an instant, and those who were still alive screamed in horror in the fire, or ran wildly on the street with their children on their backs like headless chickens, even shouting something No one knew. In one sentence, everyone was frightened by such a terrifying blow!Shimadzu Yushi's eyeballs almost fell to the ground, hissing: "This... what kind of weapon is this? Is it a rocket? When did the rocket become so powerful!?"

Huashan Haogu's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "It's terrible, it's terrible. If those rockets had just fallen in the middle of our troops, there would have been countless casualties! General, I beg you to ask the minister to retreat and stay away from the seaside." ! They can’t do anything here. On the contrary, they will be beaten to death and wounded by Ming army’s rockets!”

In normal times, Shimadzu Nushi would definitely scold Kawayama Koko with a straight face, and retreat without a fight. What kind of samurai is he?There is no such tradition in the Shimadzu family!But the power of the Ming army's rockets scared the young master quite a bit, and at the same time made him realize that it is really not a smart move to put troops here. Just a bunch of targets!He wiped off his cold sweat and shouted, "Retreat a mile!"

The Japanese samurai hurriedly retreated as if they were receiving an amnesty.

At this time, Yang Menglong was furious at the gunners: "How did you fight, huh? Let you fight forts, you fight other cities, give me a guide to fight north, right? You are really talented! I will deduct your one-month military salary later. , see if you can have a longer memory!"

A group of gunners were trained like grandsons by him, but they dared not speak back.The round of shooting just now was really disappointing. More than 160 rocket shells were fired, and the dozens of forts were still there, but the city was blasted into a sea of ​​​​flames, which is really outrageous!However, there is no way to catch the fired shells. The only thing everyone can do is to reload and wait for the next opportunity to shoot...
