Chapter 726 Attack Kagoshima

The four of them jumped up and stepped forward to surround Zhu Cilang in the middle and asked him to say it again.

You know, they are still students and have not graduated from the Royal Military Academy! Will the emperor let them go to the battlefield?

If they ask them if they want to go to the battlefield, of course they want to kill enemies for the country is a belief they have had since childhood.

A martial artist can only show their talents on the battlefield, and only by going to the battlefield can they have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service and be named king and marquis.

Although their fathers were all marquis of the Ming Dynasty, they were not hereditary, and even the English duke was abolished.

If they want to continue to be named marquis and titles, they have to go to the battlefield to fight.

Seeing the four people's anxious appearance, Zhu Cilang smiled slightly, and each of them gave them a headache.

"Really, will this palace and the current emperor still deceive you?"

Finally I heard it clearly, everything is true, and they can go to the battlefield.

The four children were so happy that they danced:

"Your Highness, we dare not question Your Majesty, but we just didn't hear it clearly. It's great that we can finally kill the enemy with real swords and guns. Thank you for your kindness..."

As the four of them said, they knelt down in the direction of Qianqing Palace to thank them, and then stood up and threw Zhu Cilang into the air...

Although they were anxious, they could not leave for the time being. The four little tigers were going home to say goodbye to their families.

Then Zhu Cixuan wanted to take them to Shenji Camp and the new army to transfer two thousand troops.

These two thousand troops will be divided into four teams, led by Zhang Fugui, Huang Dahu, Huang Xiaohu, Meng Liang.

They did not charge in battle, but were to command thousands of troops to fight in the future.

These two thousand people will be the Prince's Guard. With Zhu Youjian's prestige and ability, no matter how many people Zhu Cilang gave him, he would not dare to have any other unfaithful ideas, let alone a promising and good child.

In order to train the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty and to ensure the safety of the prince, the equipment of these two thousand men can be said to be the most excellent among all the Ming army.

Five hundred rifled rifle soldiers, the commander Zhang Fugui.

Five hundred cavalrymen, each with a special Tang sword, immediately hung a rifled rifle, and carried two revolvers around his waist. The main general Huang Dahu.

Five hundred artillery soldiers, three hundred mortars of various types and one hundred light tiger squat cannons, the chief general Meng Liang.

Five hundred special forces, including one hundred Rocket Forces, one hundred grenade throwing teams, one hundred blockers, and two hundred god gun soldiers.

Their equipment was of course given by Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty.

Don’t underestimate these thousand people. Even if the elite Dragon Banner Army of the Ming army confronts them, they will not be able to gain any advantage when the number of people is equal.

The soldiers of this team were not just ordinary soldiers, but all were summoned by Zhu Youjian during the battle of defense of the capital.

On the communication equipment, they also made high-power telescopes and walkie-talkies.

Two days later, they bid farewell to their families, quietly came to Tanggu Port, and took a naval warship to Japan.

The must-see destination for Zhu Cixuan and his team is the Honzhou Island where Qi Jiguang is located.

Let’s talk about Kagoshima in Kyushu, the Ming Dragon Banner Army is sieging the city at this time.

Just as Shimazu Masakura said, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city.

In order to avoid major casualties, Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan just attacked symbolically and retreated in an instant, preparing to launch a sudden attack on Kagoshima at night.

When it was just dark, the patrol captain reported to Li Dingguo:

"Governor, I just shot a letter from the city. Please check it out."

The patrol captain said and handed a letter to Li Dingguo.

"What letter?"

Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other and opened the letter.

Letters are written in Chinese characters, and the fonts are very standard.

After reading the letter, Li Dingguo did not speak, but handed the letter to Zhang Huangyan.

Zhang Huangyan took the letter:

"General of the Celestial Dynasty, we are descendants of the Chinese people in Kagoshima Castle. When the Celestial Dynasty army attacked the city, we can cooperate with the Tianshi to open the city gates inside and outside. We have no other requirements, just hope to avoid death, Koizumi Junjiro Kei."

Seeing Zhang Huangyan put down his letter, Li Dingguo said:

"Governor, do you see this letter deceiving a letter to sue?"

Zhang Huangyan shook his head:

"Unlike, this is not a letter written by a Satsuma official, and it is somewhat credible."

Lin Feng clasped his fists and said:

"Governor, don't bother with him or not, we will just open the city gate and kill him without leaving any armor."

Li Dingguo nodded slightly and asked:

"Have the four city gates been blocked?"

"Governor, all four gates of Kagoshima are blocked. Even if they escape from the city, it will be useless. The coastal areas are controlled by the navy."

Li Dingguo nodded:

"Let's go out and have a look."

They led more than 200 people out of the military camp and climbed directly to a hillside.

Using a telescope to look at the city, then looking at the direction of the four gates, Li Dingguo said:

The troops from the East Gate retreat five miles and free up the East Gate. Governor Zhang, you will lead the Marine Corps and the troops who were originally guarding the East Gate.

When Kagoshima Castle is broken everywhere, let the little Japanese escape from the east gate. You can catch them all in one place so that we don’t have to fight street battles with them.”

Zhang Huangyan smiled slightly:

"Okay, this plan is very good. I'm told to rush the Marines to ambush five miles outside the east gate."

Zhang Huangyan issued an order, but he did not stop at all and immediately rushed to the east gate with his officers.

Generally, when attacking a difficult city gate, if you don’t attack four gates together, you will leave a glimmer of hope for the enemy, otherwise they will fight to the end.

Seeing Zhang Huangyan leading the navy away, Li Dingguo immediately sent an order:

"Come here, I will pass the orders of this governor. Half an hour later, the three gates launched a general attack."

"yes"

The Dragon Banner Army had 20,000 troops divided into three groups. After half an hour, it launched a sudden attack on Kagoshima Castle.

The Japanese soldiers and civilians who were defending the city retreated after seeing the symbolic attack of the Ming army.

They thought the Ming army was preparing to attack the city tomorrow dawn, and everyone relaxed their vigilance for the time being.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

"Boom..."

It was just dark, and countless fires suddenly flashed across the sky, and then the city of Kagoshima began to explode.

The Ming army's rockets and mortars launched a strike against Kagoshima Sanmen and Castle Head.

Those Japanese who were resting on the city wall were instantly killed and injured.

Due to the long range of rockets, the Japanese and buildings within five kilometers of the city were hit by rockets.

Many houses were lit by rockets, and there was a fire in Kagoshima Castle.

Several consecutive rounds of bombings have put the Japanese under great casualties and psychological pressure.

Most of the Japanese who guarded the city on the city wall were bombed and burned to death, and soon no one dared to continue to guard the city.

Shimazu Kokusa screamed in panic:

"Stand with it, you must hold on, the shogunate will definitely come to save us..."

"Madam, our samurai report that the Ming army is concentrated in the other three gates, and there are only a few hundred people guarding the east gate. Let's escape from the east gate!"

Shimazu Kokusa was overjoyed when he heard this, but he soon understood:

"What? Why is there no Ming army in the East Gate? It must be a trap and you cannot escape from the East Gate."

His son Shimazu Masato said helplessly:

"My father, if we don't leave, we have to wait for death. Is there any good way for us? Why not try it out?"
