Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 726 Attacking Kagoshima

The four of them jumped up, stepped forward and surrounded Zhu Cihong to ask him to say it again.

You must know that they are still students and have not graduated from the Royal Military Academy!Will the Emperor send them to battle?

If you ask them if they want to go to the battlefield, they certainly think that killing 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 on the battlefield can they have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

Although their fathers were all Marquis of Ming Dynasty, they cannot be hereditary, and even the title of Duke of England has been cancelled.

If they want to continue to be named marquis, they can only go to the battlefield to fight.

Seeing the anxious looks of the four people, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and each rewarded them with a brainstorm.

"Really, can this palace and the present majesty still lie to you?"

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

The four children danced happily:

"Your Highness, we don't dare to question His Majesty, it's just that we didn't hear clearly. It's great, we can finally fight the enemy with real swords and guns, thank you Your Majesty for your grace..."

The four of them knelt down facing the direction of Qianqing Palace to thank them, then got up and threw Zhu Cihong into the air...

Although they were impatient, they couldn't leave for the time being. The four little tigers wanted to go home and bid farewell to their families.

Then Zhu Cihong will take them to the Shenji Camp and transfer [-] troops to the new army.

The two thousand troops will be divided into four teams.They are led by Zhang Fugui, Huang Dahu, Huang Xiaohu and Meng Liang respectively.

They went into battle not to charge forward, but to command thousands of troops to fight in the future.

These 2000 people will be the prince's guard in the future. With Zhu Youjian's prestige and ability, no matter how many people are given to Zhu Cihong, he will not dare to have other thoughts of infidelity, let alone he is still a promising boy.

In order to train the younger generation of Ming Dynasty and ensure the safety of the crown prince, the equipment of these 2000 troops can be said to be the best among all the troops of Ming Dynasty.

Five hundred riflemen, led by Zhang Fugui.

Five hundred cavalrymen, each with a special Tang sword, immediately hung a rifled gun, and carried two revolvers at his waist. The leader was Huang Dahu.

Five hundred artillery, three hundred mortars of various types and one hundred light tiger squat guns, led by Meng Liang.

Five hundred special forces, including one hundred rocket troops, one hundred grenade throwing teams, one hundred snipers, and two hundred gunfire soldiers.

Their equipment, of course, was equipped by Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Don't underestimate these 1000 people. Even if the Ming army's elite Dragon Banner army confronts them, they won't be able to take advantage of them if the number of people is equal.

The soldiers of this team are not ordinary soldiers just called up, but are all summoned by Zhu Youjian during the defense war of the capital.

As for communication equipment, they also equipped high-power telescopes and walkie-talkies.

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

The must-go destination for Zhu Cihong and his team is Honshu Island where Qi Jiguang is located.

Let's talk about Kagoshima in Kyushu. At this time, the Daming Dragon Banner Army is attacking the city.

As Shimadzu Masamiya said, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city.

In order to avoid heavy casualties, Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan withdrew after a symbolic attack, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Kagoshima at night.

When the sky just darkened, the patrol captain reported to Li Dingguo:
"Captain, a letter was shot down from the city just now, please read it."

As the patrol captain spoke, he handed a letter to Li Dingguo.

"What letter?"

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

The letters are all written in Chinese characters, and the font is very standard.

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

Zhang Huangyan took the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be a letter of surrender:

"General of the Celestial Dynasty, we are descendants of the Chinese people in Kagoshima City. When the Celestial Dynasty army attacked the city, we could cooperate with the Celestial Master to open the city gate. We have no other requirements, but only hope that we can avoid death. Sincerely, Junjiro Koizumi. "

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

"Captain, do you think this letter is a letter of surrender?"

Zhang Huangyan shook his head:
"No, this is not a letter written by an official of Satsuma. It has some credibility."

Lin Feng clasped his fists and said:

"Captain, don't care if he is a false surrender, we just blast open the city gate and kill him without leaving a piece of armor."

Li Dingguo nodded slightly, and then asked:

"Have the four city gates been blocked?"

"Commander, all four gates of Kagoshima are sealed off. Even if they escape from the city, it will be useless. The coast is controlled by the navy."

Li Dingguo nodded:

"Come on, let's go out and have a look."

They took more than 200 people out of the barracks and went directly to a hillside.

Looking at the city with the binoculars, and at the direction of the four gates, Li Dingguo said:

The people on the road at the east gate retreated five miles, leaving the east gate empty. Dudu Zhang, you lead the marines to join the team that originally guarded the east gate.

When the Kagoshima city is broken everywhere, let the little Japanese escape through the east gate, and you will catch them all, so that we don't have to fight them in the street. "

Zhang Huangyan smiled slightly:
"Okay, this plan is very clever. The Marine Corps is ordered to immediately rush to ambush five miles outside the east gate."

When Zhang Huangyan gave the order, he didn't stop at all, and immediately rushed to the east gate with his officers.

Generally, when attacking a difficult city gate, the four gates will not be attacked together, and they will leave a glimmer of hope for the enemy, otherwise they will fight to the end.

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

"Come here, pass on the order of the governor, and the three sects will launch a general attack in half an hour."

"Yes"

The Dragon Banner Army's 2 horsemen were divided into three groups, and after half an hour, they launched a surprise attack on Kagoshima City.

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

They thought that the Ming army was going to attack the city again at dawn, and everyone relaxed their vigilance for the time being.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Rumble..."

Not long after it got dark, countless flames flashed across the sky, and then the city of Kagoshima and the city began to explode.

The rockets and mortars of the Ming army attacked Kagoshima Sanmen and the castle head together.

The Japanese who were resting on the top of the city were instantly killed and injured countless times.

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

Many houses were set on fire by rockets, and the city of Kagoshima was ablaze.

Several consecutive rounds of bombing caused the Japanese to suffer huge casualties and psychological pressure.

Most of the Japanese guarding the city wall were bombed and burned to death, and soon no one dared to continue guarding the city.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu panicked and shouted:

"Hold on, you must hold on, the shogunate will definitely come to save us..."

"My lord, our warriors 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 through the east gate!"

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was overjoyed when he heard it, but soon understood:
"What? Why is there no Ming army at the east gate? It must be a trap. You can't escape from the east gate."

His son Masao Shimadzu said helplessly:
"Father, if you don't leave, you will die. Is there a good way for us? Why don't we just try."
