Chapter 716
Yagyu Taro, deputy commander of the Satsuma Army, began to look more and more ugly.

At first he didn't look at the Ming army at all, he blew the cowhide in front of his father,

I thought that the strength of the Ming army could disrupt the formation with a single impact by tens of thousands of ashigaru.

The Japanese infantry and samurai from behind took the opportunity to cut leeks.

But looking at it now, that's not the case at all, and the Japanese themselves have all turned into leeks.

The battlefield is so dangerous, some ashigaru with poor mentality have already run away screaming after receiving such a strong mental stimulation.

The shouts of killing and screams rang together, and there was no way for the Satsuma clan to retreat. Once they retreated, there would be no Satsuma clan in the future.

Yagyutaro shouted desperately to encourage the Japanese to charge forward.

"Don't retreat, hurry up, as long as we rush up, our Vulcan gun will be effective, then all ashigaru will be promoted to infantry, and infantry will be promoted to samurai..."

Inspired by him, the Japanese soldiers regrouped and charged again.

After throwing a lot of corpses, the musketeers finally entered the range under the cover of the bamboo shield vehicle, and began to counterattack sporadically.

However, they didn't even form a serious formation. This kind of counterattack can be said to be weak.

On the opposite side, the Ming army, amidst the sound of drums, continued to advance in arrays of muskets, firing guns as they walked. The entire array was completely orderly, round after round, endlessly, with almost no interruption at all.

Compared with the previous flintlock guns, the rifled guns of the Ming army now have a longer range, the conical warhead has stronger penetrating power and greater lethality, and the rifled gun is more convenient to reload than the smoothbore gun!
In particular, the lethality of the Shizhen gun made the Japanese even more horrified. Hundreds of Japanese could be smashed into a sieve by the rotation of several barrels.

However, the shogunate coalition forces of the Satsuma clan are still attacking in the traditional dense formation of the cold weapon era.

Almost fell down in pieces, not to mention breaking through to the formation of the Ming army, they couldn't even break through within [-] steps!

As the battle progressed fiercely, corpses littered the battlefield, and the coalition forces were in chaos.

The iron gunners and archers of the coalition army finally couldn't bear the suppression of the Ming army's firepower, and retreated backward like a tide.

The generals of the coalition army were already dumbfounded, the energetic expression just now was completely gone, and everyone's face was twitching slightly unnaturally.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that there would be such a fierce firepower in the world!

"Report to the feudal lord, our army is at a disadvantage in the war, and now we have suffered heavy losses, and we are still unable to get close to the Ming army."

From time to time, the scouts will report the frontline battles to the headquarters of the Satsuma domain.

The number one general of the Satsuma clan, the commander-in-chief of the Satsuma clan, Liu Yuyu, turned red and purple, as if he had been constipated and hadn't gone to the toilet for more than ten days.

The [-] or so Ming army not only withstood five times their number of ashigaru infantry and samurai in many places, but also caused huge casualties to Japanese soldiers. This is the greatest shame in Yagyu's heart.

Liu Sheng, who was originally in charge of the command, immediately rushed to the feudal lord's mansion. He wanted to take away all the troops in Kagoshima, and he must destroy the [-] Ming troops.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, the lord of the Satsuma domain, was walking back and forth in the hall. At this time, he finally realized that he should not take the Ryukyu Islands rashly.

If Ryukyu is not occupied, there will be no conflict with Ming Dynasty, let alone send people to assassinate the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty will not send troops to attack Japan and Satsuma.

You must know that Daming has only sent more than 2 troops now, and they still have hundreds of thousands of troops that have not yet moved.

Once Daming increased its troops again, Kagoshima would not be able to defend Kagoshima at all, and it really shouldn't have listened to Yagyu's fraudulent nonsense back then.

Seeing Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's look of being at a loss, Junjiro Koizumi, an important staff member under his command, hurriedly said:

"Lord, the Ming Dynasty divided its troops into three ways to attack Japan, and now the entire navy has been wiped out. At the same time, Nagasaki, Miyazaki, and Fukuoka were also occupied by the Ming army and massacred the cities.

If the Satsuma Domain will not be guaranteed if the fight continues, it is better to negotiate with the Ming army. If they give up attacking Kagoshima, we can transfer the land they occupied to Ming Dynasty, which will never belong to the Satsuma Domain, so as to keep the Satsuma Peninsula. "

Before Shanizumi Junjiro finished speaking, a stern and angry voice came:

"Fart, you are betraying the country and seeking glory. The Ming army attacked Kagoshima with more than 2 people. As long as we destroy the [-] Ming army, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not dare to act rashly..."

Everyone looked up and saw Liu Yuliu, a general of the Satsuma Army, rushing into the hall angrily.

Seeing Yagyu's fraud coming in, Shimadzu seemed to see a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked:

"Teacher, the Ming army is really fierce. If you have any better suggestions, come and hear."

"The feudal lord need not panic. The Ming army came from afar, and they are not familiar with us here. As long as we concentrate our superior forces and attack from multiple directions, we will definitely wipe them out in Kagoshima."

Junjiro Koizumi is also authoritative in the Satsuma domain, equal to the head of civil servants. He was very upset when Yagyu interrupted his speech just now, but now he can't help but sneer when he heard his words:
"Master Yagyu, although there are only 2 people in the Ming Dynasty, they are well-equipped and all use firearms. We have never encountered such an army.

I believe that your Excellency is capable, and your sword skills are invincible, but in front of the Ming army, you can't stop their bullets at all, and it is more reliable to surrender..."

Koizumi Junjiro's words once again succeeded in making Yagyu run away, and he really wanted to kill Koizumi on the spot.

"Shh..."

The samurai sword was unsheathed, and the point of the sword went straight to Junjiro Koizumi.

"Bastard, say one more insult to our Satsuma clan and you will be killed on the spot."

There are capitulators and anti-Japanese factions in every country, including Little Japan.

The general only wanted to destroy the invading Ming army, no matter how much he paid.

While the civil servants had a clearer mind, they saw the strength of Ming Dynasty and knew that Japan was powerless to resist now.

Speaking of surrender is also for the preservation of Satsuma, and for Japan not to be destroyed.

Seeing Yagyu cheating and trying to slash him with a knife, Koizumi Junjiro didn't stick to his principles, so he snorted coldly and sat silently.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu saw a serious disagreement among the chiefs of civil and martial arts under his command, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

However, as the lord of the Satsuma domain, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa must depend on the general's decision.

"Teacher, how do you think we can defend Kagoshima?"

"Lord, what does it mean to defend Kagoshima? We want to wipe out the Ming dogs on the Satsuma Peninsula, even if we can't wipe them all out, we must drive the Ming dogs out of Japan."

Although Liu Sheng had no idea in his heart, he was determined to fight the Ming army to the death.

At least that's what he thinks now, and he is very confident.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was somewhat moved by Yagyu's cheating:
"Okay, the teacher is still mighty, as long as he can defeat Minggou, he will ask soldiers to give soldiers and money to give money."

Yagyu looked coldly at Junjiro Koizumi, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

He patted his chest and promised:

"Lord, as long as the troops in the city are concentrated, I will personally lead and attack the Ming army from behind. The Ming army will definitely be defeated. At that time, their gunships and warships will all belong to my Satsuma domain."
