Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 87 Entering Saga Castle

"We are willing to surrender to Your Excellency the General of the Celestial Dynasty..."

A warrior with a bald head in front fell to the ground, not daring to breathe.And behind him, the Hizen clan samurai lay on the ground in fear and trepidation.

"What kind of bird language are you talking about? Is there a translator who understands Chinese?" Although Chu Yun could see that the other party was surrendering, he couldn't understand the language here at all!
"General, my name is Inoue Matabei, and my Chinese name is Chen Dalang. I escaped from the turmoil in Liaodong eight years ago. I am proficient in the languages ​​of the two countries. Please guide me." Among the warriors of the Hizen Domain, there was a short Han. said in awe.

The rise of Hou Jin was really a disaster for the people in Liaodong and Liaonan, and they all fled to Dongying.

"Get up. If you behave well, I will not only absolve you of your crime, but also reward you." Chu Yun said.

"Obey!" Chen Dalang was overjoyed, got up from the ground proudly, and looked at a group of colleagues who were still lying on the ground, not to mention how proud they were.

The other warriors lying on the ground could listen to Chinese, and they were envious, and even thought that it would be great if they were also the people of Ming Dynasty...

"The rest of them were all detained on the ship and shipped back to southern Liaoning as hard laborers. They served for three years to see the effect." Chu Yun asked the fleet to transport all the surrendered warriors to southern Liaoning.

By the way, the two infantry battalions that Dalian Port was preparing to support this side were pulled over.

"Where are our Ming merchants being imprisoned?" Chu Yun asked Chen Dalang.

"The merchant of the Ming Dynasty was detained in Saga Castle by the feudal lord Nabeshima Katsushige. In fact, it used to be called the Hizen Kingdom, but now it is ruled by the Saga Domain, so people are used to calling it the Hizen Domain. In fact, there are many feudal lords, large and small, some of them are The elders of the Guodao family were separated." Chen Dalang told Chu Yun everything he knew.

"How many people are there in Saga Castle?"

"Less than two thousand. In name, Nabeshima Katsushige is a daimyo of 30 koku, but in reality there are only about [-] koku. You need to call other feudal lords to gather thousands of people."

Chu Yun generally understands that Japan's system at this time is somewhat similar to the ancient enfeoffment system. Nabeshima Katsushige is a small prince on Kyushu Island, and the troops he directly controls are very limited.

"There are only 2000 people, so let's just fight there." Chu Yun called for Chen Jisheng, several battalion officers and the captain, and directly discussed the attack route to Saga City.

"My lord, if you want to flatten Saga Castle, you need to be quick! Saga Castle is surrounded by water, and the moat alone is [-] meters wide. There is only one wooden bridge leading to the city. Your lord should occupy the bridge before they realize it. Only then can we guarantee that the army will be as smooth as possible!" Chen Dalang slapped his head, and suddenly this very important information sounded.

On the other side, Goromaru, who was fleeing for his life, fled into Saga Castle in a hurry.Only the indestructible Saga Castle is the only fortress that he thinks can resist the Ming army.

"My lord, I want to see my lord!" Goromaru shouted with his subordinates.

"Baga, what's the noise? We thought the Ming army was coming!" The defenders in Saga Castle said dissatisfied.

"My lord, the Ming army is really coming!" Goromaru said aggrievedly.

Katsushige Nabeshima heard that Goromaru escaped from the port, so he hurriedly summoned Goromaru and others.

"Have you encountered the fleet of the Ming army?"

"My lord, the fleet of the Ming army is terrible. There are so many cannons. Our iron cannons are not comparable to them! The reason why the subordinates are in a hurry to come back is to let the lord be careful. Don't force the Ming army. Ah!" Goromaru said anxiously.

"How could the Ming army come so fast and be so strong..." Katsushige Nabeshima sat down and pondered.He always felt like he had stabbed a hornet's nest!
"How is the port now?"

"I don't even know the little one, the Ming army was chasing him closely, we went ashore as soon as we arrived at the port and headed straight here." Goromaru carefully stared at Katsushige Nabeshima's expression, for fear that his master would be angry and kill himself and others.

"How many ships are there in the Ming army's fleet? What's the firepower?" Katsushige Nabeshima asked again.

"There are dozens of large ships and thousands of cannons!" Goro Maru exaggerated the strength of Chu Yun's fleet.

"So powerful? Not good, quickly send someone to guard the bridge leading to the city gate!" Katsushige Nabeshima suddenly came to his senses.

With such a strong strength of the Ming army, it will definitely be invincible all the way, maybe they will not stop at all and directly attack Saga Castle!
bang! bang! bang!
The sound of dense musketry had already sounded on the rope bridge leading to Saga Castle.This cable bridge spans the moat surrounding Saga Castle, and it is the only way to Saga Castle.

However, Chu Yun realized this, so he ordered Chen Jisheng's main force of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Brigade to raid Saga City quickly!

After Goromaru fled into Saga Castle, Chen Jisheng, who was pressing every step of the way, arrived immediately!Chen Jisheng couldn't hold back his desire to make meritorious service, this is his pledge of allegiance to Chu Yun!If you win, you will have guns and cannons, and if you lose, you will have swords and arrows!

"Kill me and conquer Saga Castle, and everyone who falls into the city will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!" Chen Jisheng led five hundred soldiers to forcibly launch a battle to conquer the cable bridge, and the guns filled the air!

The warriors of the Hizen clan who usually stationed at the cable bridge were frightened out of their wits, the Ming army came too fast!And the Ming army was clearly on the opposite side, so their bullets swept over!Although the accuracy is not high, but facing the shooting of hundreds of muskets of the Ming army, you will always be hit by a few bullets!
"Whoever captures Katsushige Nabeshima, the culprit, will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver and promoted to a higher rank!" Chen Jisheng roared with red eyes.

"Brigade Commander, does it mean that if I catch Nabeshima Katsushige, I can also be a brigade commander?" the first battalion commander asked fervently.

"Fuck you, wait until you catch Nabeshima Katsushige." Chen Jisheng kicked the battalion commander, "Lead someone to kill him with me!"

"Go on the bayonet!"

After firing one or two rounds of musketry in the front row of the main battalion of the Fourth Brigade, which basically wiped out the warriors defending on the opposite side, Qi Qi inserted cold bayonets into his rifles and rushed towards the opposite bank in batches.

On both sides, there are infantrymen with muskets shooting towards the opposite bank in a fan shape, fully suppressing the archers and musketeers on the opposite bank.

Originally there were dozens of warriors guarding the opposite bank, but under the full attack of the raiding Ming army, the warriors who were hit by muskets fell on the wooden bridge or fell into the moat, slightly staining the river red.

"Retreat to the city..." Seeing that his party was suppressed by the Ming army's muskets, the warriors guarding the bridge could not lift their heads, so they had to prostrate on the ground and retreat backward with hands and feet.

As for destroying the rope bridge?Standing up will only become the target of the Ming army, how to destroy it? !
"Kill!" Chen Jisheng would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he not only wanted to capture the important strategic position of the cable bridge, but also used infantry to take down Saga Castle, which they were proud of!
