The soldiers were very fast. Two days later, Xu Qingshan led 40,000 troops and set off from Xiaguan, transported by the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy, and headed towards Osaka.

After four days of sailing, the fleet sailed across the Akashi Strait on the first day of August and arrived in the western part of Osaka Bay.

Xu Qingshan did not directly attack Osaka, but chose the Ming army's landing location to Kobe, fifty miles away from Osaka.

Sixty years ago, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi ended the chaotic times of the Warring States Period and realized the great cause of Japanese unification, he held a Arima Tea Party at Arima Hot Spring, a Kono diplomatic diplomacy.

Since then, Kobe has become an important stronghold port for the Kitamae ship from Western Japan to Hokkaido, and is also an important Suzuba Town in Nishiko Street.

A few years ago, the Ming army defeated the Tokugawa shogunate and forced Japan to sign the Osaka Treaty. Kobe became one of the five earliest ports to open trade in Japan and quickly developed into one of the most important ports in Japan.

Xu Qingshan's target is Osaka. As the frontier position of the shogunate army for combat in Japan, Osaka is also a logistics support base, a temporary anchorage for the Japanese transport fleet and navy, and a distribution center for the Japanese army's logistics supplies.

Xu Qingshan knew that the Tokugawa shogunate had been guarding against the Tenwu Army's attack on Osaka, and had gathered heavy troops and set up many forts in Osaka. It was not advisable for the Ming army to come and try to attack Kobe first.

The Jinyiwei has conducted detailed investigations on the terrain, hydrology, ocean currents and other situations in the Osaka Bay area.

There are two key points when the Ming army wants to control Osaka Bay. One is the Rokkayama Fort in Kobe, which is the land portal of Osaka Bay. Once the Ming army occupy the fort, they can go straight into Osaka Harbor.

The second key point is the Osaka Fort, which relies on each other.

The Rokka Mountain Fort is a land defense fort that mainly guards the side and rear of Osaka Bay to resist attacks that may come from land.

The Osaka Fort is a coastal defense fortress, mainly resisting attacks from the sea.

The Tokugawa Shogunate learned from his mistakes and when building the Osaka Fortress, it listed the Ming army's maritime attacks as important targets of defense, so it arranged the heavy and large-caliber artillery.

The Liujia Mountain Fort is located on the Liujia Mountain, the highest point in the territory. The mountain is not steep and the highest is more than 900 meters. The surrounding hilly areas are covered with dense forests, and there are some towns.

The Lujiashan Fort was built with a chest wall of up to five meters high. The fortresses were densely packed on the chest wall, and there was only an exit on the south side, which isolated the fort from the surrounding mountains of Mount Lujiashan, making the fort a separate military fortress higher than the surrounding terrain.

Originally, the Tokugawa Shogunate arranged 800 people at the Rokka Mountain Fortress. When they learned that the Ming Dynasty sent troops, they hurriedly asked Tadaki Sakai, who was stationed in Osaka, to strengthen the defensive power of the Rokka Mountain Fortress.

Tadaki Sakai then transferred the two thousand troops of the Miyagawa clan to Kobe and deployed them to assist in defense at the Rokka Mountain Fort.

Logically speaking, the turret has only twenty cannons and hundreds of troops is enough, so there is no need for so many people at all.

However, the shogunate had seen the landing strength of the Ming army and did not dare to be careless, so he strengthened his defensive power three times.

Tadaki Sakai also thought so, feeling that there was no need to equip such a large-scale troops in Mount Rokka. However, due to the order of the elder Tadaka Sakai, he forced the Miyagawa fan to Mount Rokka.

According to his idea, Miyagawa's mission was to stay in Kobe for a while, assist in the defense of Rokka Mountain, and wait for the Ming army to attack Osaka, and they had to be transferred back.

Because in Sakai Tadaki Sakai's defense map, Osaka is the focus of Japan's defense.

The idea of ​​the Zhong Lao Master also influenced the defenders of Mount Liujia.

On the evening of the first day of August, the Lujia Mountain Fort was covered with lead clouds and was bleak.

The trenches were filled with the strong smell of wine, and the entire battalion guards inexplicably entered a state of binge drinking.

The wine is not good, it is local sorghum wine, which is a bit of a big deal. A Japanese general from the Miyagawa clan staggers and curses.

"Damn it, there are only twenty fucking guns in one turret. Is it possible for me to have more than two thousand brothers coming to the nest together? Is there any water in my mind?"

There were also shogunate soldiers everywhere in the fortress, who were expressing their dissatisfaction with the shogunate in their own way.

On hot days, there are so many people in the place that are a little bit big, it is really uncomfortable.

In one of the trenches, a group of Japanese soldiers surrounded them, making waves of curses and laughter from time to time. The chaotic sound was mixed with the sound of women crying. I don’t know where these little Japanese got the women.

A disheveled general was pounced on the woman, tearing her compatriots' clothes, and the Japanese soldiers around him were squirting alcohol and bursting out bursts of laughter.

The woman was crying and protecting her body to the death, making a sound that was familiar to the otakus of later generations.

"Baga! What are you doing?"

A strong voice sounded, and an old man in his sixties in his shogunate uniform came from the handrail.

The soldiers who were still sober immediately stopped and stood there, a little embarrassed.

The disheveled general stood up straight, and didn't even look at the person. He laughed and said, "Old man, are you going to have fun together?"

"presumptuous!"

The old man scolded, with a rare agility. He jumped into the trenches and grabbed the chaotic lapel of the general, and slapped him heavily.

This slap woke up the general Xiaoqing. He opened his eyes wide and realized who the old man opposite was. He quickly straightened his body and saluted: "Mr. Cheng Dai, he is so small..."

The old man was named Tadaki Naito, 62 years old, and his official position was Osaka Castle. He was the representative of the Shogunate in Osaka Castle. He was responsible for the city defense of Osaka Castle and ruled over the shogunate servants on duty in Osaka.

The general of Football Seven sounds very majestic, but in fact he is just a small officer in charge of hundreds of people. How can he compare with Osaka Castle who is known as Daimyo, and invite him to play with women in the wild together? It’s ridiculous!

Tadaki Naito snorted coldly and walked to the woman who was violated.

The woman snuggled in the trenches and protected her body timidly, for fear that the old man would suddenly rise up and participate.

Tadaki Naito pointed at him and said, "Your, get up!"

The woman shook her head in pain, and blood was flowing from her thigh, which was stabbed by the slight general with a bayonet.

Naito Tadaki glanced at the soldiers around him and said, "Band her, whoever snatched her will send her back, and the others will continue to stick to their posts!"

The soldiers around were all staring at Tadashi Naito. That's all? Isn't the shogunate's military rules no longer enforced?

Tadaki Naito looked at the gang of pussy and shouted, "Why don't you go quickly! Are you waiting for the Ming army to come here?"

"Yes! Yes!"

A group of Japanese soldiers nodded and bowed, stumbled and prepared to disperse.

Suddenly, a harsh beep came through the air, and a shell exploded outside the trench not far away. A head cut by shrapnel flew over and landed next to Tadao Naito.

The steps of leaving stopped in mid-air, and all the soldiers stared blankly at the head of this comrade who was unknown.

After a moment, all the soldiers turned their eyes to Tadaki Naito, and they all had an idea in their heads: Lord Shiroyo's mouth is really fucking effective!

However, more shells roared and the violent explosion immediately swallowed up several nearby trenches, covering the entire position guarded by the Miyagawa clan.
Chapter completed!
