Lord of Ming Dynasty

When the enemy attacked in an all-round way and mobilized [-] cannons to bombard them, the cannons here also began to counterattack. Although the [-]-pound cannons were not as far as the enemy's range, some of the range to destroy the enemy was not as good as theirs. Artillery is still very easy.

The violent bombardment quickly suppressed the enemy's original 100 cannons, and directly destroyed more than 30 small cannons and more than [-] twelve-pound guns, weakening the enemy's artillery suppression and stabilizing the morale of the defense line.

However, the enemy's troops are too strong. 20 people stormed the line of defense, with an average of 1 people per kilometer, but here are only 3000 people per kilometer, and behind them are [-] transportation and artillery artillery.

"Fire, fire," the commander in the trench kept ordering a volley of guns. There were not many matchlocks in the enemy's team, so all they were given were blows.

People kept falling, and people kept rushing up.

After all, the number of enemies is there.

After fighting for two hours, the enemy suffered 8 or 3 casualties, and [-] or [-] casualties here. The enemy is still charging, and the matchlock team of the regular army has approached the trenches. There is a problem with the supply of ammunition here. problem appear.

After fighting for another hour, the enemy's regular army had suppressed the soldiers in the trench with firepower, and people kept jumping into the trench to fight hand-to-hand.

Casualties inevitably increased, and some places even collapsed. Enemy soldiers rushed across the trenches to the three-pound artillery positions less than ten meters away. The artillery positions were arranged in the form of points, and each point was guarded by five soldiers. Artillery, five soldiers.

While bombarding the enemy, they also exposed themselves to the enemy's bows and matchlock guns. Soon these three-pound guns wiped out the entire army after destroying about [-] enemies.

The enemy rushed to the rear of the 50-meter six-pounder position and besieged the 30-man guards there.More enemies rushed to lay siege to forts guarded by fifty or a hundred soldiers.

Fighting until dawn, Jingshan Kazuya still did not see the hope of breaking through the enemy's position. His loss of troops was constantly reported. 10 young and strong died, [-] were seriously injured, and only [-] were left to entangle with the enemy's [-] people The [-] regular troops behind them were also tied to the first front line. Many soldiers on the enemy's first front line relied on this trench to defend to the death.

His artillery was destroyed with more than 500 guns under 8000 pounds, and he was advancing. Over there, Dabao Wine Industry captured the enemy's second position, but there were not many remaining troops. The regular army had [-] dead and wounded. He lost [-] small cannons, and the enemy's regular army was sent behind the second line of defense to defend according to the terrain. Although there were only [-] regular soldiers and [-] servants, they also blocked the attack of his remaining [-] troops. The cannon fodder soldiers were almost killed and injured, only [-] people left.

He didn't have many troops anymore, and he still had [-] princes' troops and [-] of his own troops. He gritted his teeth and sent all the troops to the front line. He must take down the enemy's first position, so that the front line can be pushed to the front. The border of Kochi Prefecture.

Immediately after he sent soldiers to report to Shimadzu Yamashita, he led a large force forward and enlisted the Japanese people along the way as cannon fodder.

A hundred thousand troops were assembled.

At dusk, he led his troops to the front line. At this time, they had been 150 miles away from the county seat of Denios Island, and [-] miles away from the troops of Dabao Wine Industry.

In the distance, in Denios County, after the second prince learned about the situation, he said to the little prince, "Go and attack the camp at the foot of Shimadzu Mountain and capture him alive. I will control the county town and the dock. After our battle starts, send people Go and tell our frontline troops to turn against us and wipe out the enemy. Remember to let the frontline troops wear identification marks and wrap white towels around their heads. Otherwise, they will not want us if the Huaxia Army is wiped out."

After watching the roar of gunfire and gunshots in the palace all night, Zhang Qiang said to Zhao Hui: "It's time, let's lead someone to fight back."

Zhao Hui saluted, and then went down to mobilize the troops.

An hour later, with [-] troops, quickly go to the front line.

At this time, the second prince had already launched an attack on the pier and the county seat.

The 5000 Han troops took control of the county seat with lightning speed, drove all the watching Japanese people back to their homes, surrounded the Japanese camp, and launched an attack. It took half an hour to wipe out the enemy's troops in the city. [-] troops, and suppressed [-] Japanese mobs who attempted to resist, quickly divided [-] troops to attack the dock.

The little prince had been besieging the camp at the foot of Shimadzu Mountain for an hour. Three thousand troops were killed, ten thousand cannon fodder were killed, the enemy camp was blasted with artillery, and the enemy's rear camp was massacred with three thousand troops.

The Japanese rear camps that stretched for ten miles were raging with flames.

Chapter 782 The Declining Japanese

The loss was heavy, but for the Japanese, no matter how severe it was, they would not care about it. What they cared about was whether they could achieve their war goal, destroy the enemy, occupy Shikoku Prefecture, or take back Shikoku Prefecture.

But at this time, they suddenly received news that the second prince had rebelled. Twenty thousand loyal Han troops from the Four Kingdoms raided their rear area. Tsuyama was captured.

Dabao Liquor immediately ordered the [-] troops who had already attacked the outskirts of Xiangchuan County to come back for help, but they encountered interspersed troops from Ehime County, [-] militia servants, and [-] Han regular army troops that blocked them from going back. on the way.

Then Prime Minister Yan led [-] troops from Xiangchuan County to kill them.

In an hour of fierce fighting, Dabao Liquor was killed by random gunfire, 1 of the 2000 Japanese remnant troops on the Eastern Front were annihilated, 8000 were missing in the artillery fire, and [-] were captured.

Leaving 1000 regular troops, [-] servants to guard the prisoners, and [-] people to clean up the battlefield, Prime Minister Yan led nearly [-] troops to attack their first line of defense.

Soon captured about 1 soldiers left by the enemy to clean up the battlefield to guard the prisoners, as well as 2000 seriously wounded, rescued 7 captured lightly and seriously wounded, and selected [-] people who could still fight. Leaving the slightly wounded and [-] militia servants to guard the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, and transport the supplies captured by the enemy, Prime Minister Yan continued to advance with [-] troops, and soon reached the first line of defense, where he defeated the enemy The [-] garrison troops rescued [-] of our own personnel who survived by chance, and left [-] people to cooperate with the wounded to guard the prisoners. Prime Minister Yan's team grew to [-].

The 7 troops quickly arrived near the enemy company camp around Denios County, contacted the troops of the second prince, directly disarmed and took over the troops of the [-] princes there, and the [-] troops quickly occupied the county and the docks. The barracks, and sent blocking troops to the rear of Jingshan Kazuya.

Jing Shanhe also hurriedly brought [-] civilian husbands and regular army soldiers towards this direction, and soon bumped into the blocking troops, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Disrupted immediately, tens of thousands of the remaining [-] soldiers and horses immediately dispersed, and the remaining tens of thousands were oppressed in a small area by the [-] army led by Zhao Hui, and surrendered after resisting for a while.

In this battle, a total of 30 enemy troops were wiped out, and 23 enemy troops were captured, plus the Japanese servants sent by Minfu and the second prince to support them.

When Zhao Hui came up with the army, Jing Shanhe also committed suicide by cutting his stomach, and the remaining [-] soldiers surrendered. Zhao Hui led the troops directly to Denios County, and the rest of the day was spent searching for the enemy. Crushed soldiers, deserted soldiers, and arrested rioting Japanese civilians. A total of [-] civilians were arrested in one day, and [-] defeated soldiers were arrested.

The enemy's troops on Shikoku Island were completely wiped out. In addition to nearly 50 troops, there were also 12 Japanese people who supported them and took the opportunity to riot, as well as the [-] Japanese servants of the second prince, and their [-] Han soldiers. , were all wiped out and captured.

On the side of the Huaxia Army, 11 Southeast Asian indigenous soldiers died, 3 Nanyang soldiers died, 12 Japanese servants died, [-] Japanese civilians died, and [-] were arrested.

The Japanese regular army killed 7000 people, the Han regular army killed 8000 people, and the Han people injured 6 people.

It can be said that this battle is quite huge, and close to a million people have been affected.

When Zhang Qiang and Zhao Hui walked across the battlefield, it was like walking on the surface of the moon. Many places were bombarded with potholes, and you could pick up those iron balls from the artillery shells everywhere.

A lot of smashed corpse fragments made many soldiers and officials who followed vomit in a mess.

Prime Minister Yan followed behind them without much emotion. He had seen a lot, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty to the Lu Kingdom to the Ryukyu Kingdom, to the Shikoku Kingdom, and now the war between the Shikoku Prefecture and Japan. It can be said that it has been tested by the fire of war. As far as a civil servant is concerned, he was really lucky.

"We have now obtained statistics. There were originally 40 Japanese people on Denios Island, and 11 civilians were recruited by the Japanese. They recruited 8000 civilians from Honshu Island. After this war, Denios Island still There were 3000 people, and the rest were killed or captured by our army. There were originally 8000 Han people, but now there are only 1. Eight thousand Han soldiers died in battle, [-] were seriously injured, and three thousand People died, [-] people lost their homes, and the rest were old, weak, women and children.

There are 4000 Han soldiers left by the second prince, of which 500 were slightly injured and [-] were seriously injured.

There are about 150 million people in the entire Shikoku Island, including 50 Han people, 8000 Han soldiers, 3000 Nanyang indigenous people, 55 indigenous people, [-] Southeast Asian indigenous people, and [-] soldiers. It is Japanese people and Japanese soldiers.In addition, we captured a total of [-] enemy civilian husbands and soldiers, as well as servants, including those Japanese people who were dissatisfied with our riots and Southeast Asian indigenous people, soldiers, and Nanyang indigenous people and soldiers. "

Zhang Qiang turned around and said to Prime Minister Yan: "So after this battle, the entire Shikoku Island will only have 100 million Japanese people and soldiers?"

Prime Minister Yan nodded solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Hui said: "Your Majesty, it is better to organize these captives and send them to General Kong Youxing in the Xinlu Mansion in batches, and let them go to die for the advance of the army. I guess the Japanese will not have them now. There are too many troops and people. Didn’t they still have 500 million before? After the third prince’s sneak attack from behind, and our two wars here, their strength must have been exhausted. Even if we distribute some cold weapons to them, and then It is impossible for Japan to resist if they are driven to attack Japan's Honshu Island."

There are not many Japanese, which is good news. It is good news for Zhang Qiang. The Japanese have lost their population from 3000 to 1000 million to more than [-] million.

And now Zhang Qiang still wants to immigrate all their Japanese people and soldiers on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island to other places, such as where Zheng Chenggong is.

After turbulence and displacement, it is good that 1000 million people can survive in the end.

Then the Japanese opened up wasteland in places like Australia that were worse than Baodao State and Qiongdao State. It is estimated that only a few million will survive. Disillusioned, many Han people fled, where there will be more Han people than Japanese, so that the living environment of the indigenous people there, plus the indigenous people in Southeast Asia, the indigenous people in Nanyang, and the Japanese will be even worse, and eventually become the world's A minority group, this is what Zhang Qiang wants to achieve.

As for the big island of Japan, it will become the living place of most Han Chinese, some immigrant natives and some naturalized Japanese in the future, and become another overseas province of the Chinese Kingdom.

Zhang Qiang finished his inspection of the Four Kingdoms Mansion and returned to Jinling Mansion on a new warship that had successfully sailed for the third time.

One month later, about 50 Han people set foot on the land of Xinlu Prefecture, and the number of Han people in Xinlu Prefecture increased to 80. About 20 Han people set foot on the land of Shikoku Island, and the number of Han people in Shikoku Island increased to 30. And about [-] captured Japanese soldiers were thrown into the battlefield of China Island after declaring their allegiance to the Kingdom of China, and Gui Kong had sexual restraint.

For the first time, Kong Youxing commanded more than 15 soldiers and horses. Although 15 of the 10 soldiers and horses were Japanese prisoners, only 2000 of the 2000 Japanese captured soldiers had matchlock guns, and [-] had full-body armor and sharp weapons. They are organized puppet troops, responsible for guarding their compatriots and supervising their charge.

The third prince here, since the battle of Jeju Island, he had to transfer [-] soldiers back to Jeju Island, leaving [-] wounded and [-] regular soldiers on the battlefield of China Island.

His main navy went back to deal with the Qing invasion.
