"Can we take the initiative when the time comes?"
Zhang Lan suddenly spoke."
No, we are too few in number, don't make mistakes."
Zhu Qiming shook his head and said.Lang Ping said on the side: "This should be the full strength of the Japanese people, if they can be killed here to a great defeat, the entire Japanese island will no longer have any resistance power." ”Zhu Qiming sighed and said: "I knew that I would have asked Your Majesty for some troops, if we had 100,000 troops here, we would have pushed the Japanese people to the ground a long time ago." ”The Japanese attack was fierce, and the Song army's counterattack was as sharp.Hundreds of artillery pieces kept spitting out shells, and one after another shells hit the Japanese army, causing great casualties and frightening to the Japanese army.At this time, some of them had already climbed the city wall, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere on the city wall."
Kill, kill, kill!""
Dog thing, get out of here!"
The sound of artillery fire, shouting and clashing weapons was endless.Zhang Lan took out his chain hammer and joined the battle group.Zhang Lan's moves, Zhu Qiming saw it, that side was his line of defense, and he was naturally responsible for driving the Japanese people down.At this time, the Japanese archers stopped firing their arrows, and under the orders of the warlords, they took out their long knives and shouted and headed towards Matsuzaka Castle.The whole army attacked, and the situation on the entire city wall was already in chaos.There were constantly Japanese soldiers climbing up from various gaps, and the Song army had already been aimed at them with muskets, and the people in front died, and the people behind picked up the corpses of their comrades and continued to come up to die.They knew that the biggest problem of the Song army was that there were few people, and as long as they could break through a point, the Song army would no longer be able to hold it.The Song army also knew this, and some people directly dropped their muskets, carrying knives and spears to fight against the Japanese with their bodies, and at this distance, cold weapons were much better than muskets.As soon as a Japanese soldier climbed the city wall, he was smashed on the head by Zhang Lan next to him with a chain hammer, and his brains were sprinkled on the ground and fell."
Hold here."
Zhang Lan shouted.Several Song soldiers quickly plugged the gap.The Song army on the city wall fought bravely to kill the enemy, and the Japanese soldiers who climbed the city wall were beaten down, and the gaps were filled one by one, but under the fierce attack of the Japanese people who were not afraid of death, the new gaps were reopened.After all, after losing thousands of lives, the two sides finally started hand-to-hand combat on the city walls.The Japanese people on the ladder saw their companions fall one by one, and the muskets from the surrounding area made them no longer hold back the fear in their hearts, and the speed of their advance became slower and slower.The slow progress they advanced, the faster the Song army made up.After a while, when the first widow couldn't bear the fear in his heart and began to run away, the widow in front couldn't bear it either.At this moment, the Japanese who had already rushed to the ladder and the city wall lost their support and became less and less."
The Japanese have retreated!
They're scared, hahaha!
”A Song soldier noticed the situation under the city and laughed loudly.After Zhang Lan killed a Japanese soldier, he heard the voice and looked at the city, and sure enough, the Japanese army began to run backwards in a hurry, even if the rear supervision team was constantly killing, it was useless.He laughed twice and smashed his hammer into one of the widows again.Zhu Qiming saw the Japanese army retreating, and then ordered the artillery to continue firing, and hundreds of shells continued to bombard the Japanese army.In the chaotic retreat, the Japanese left behind thousands of corpses.Fujiwara Sato looked at the retreating Japanese army, and his eyes became more and more fierce."
General, let your subordinates rush once."
A retainer of the Fujiwara family bowed.Sato Fujiwara shook his head."
Now is not the time to use you."
Fujiwara Sato refused his retainers and ordered the army to retreat thirty miles.Looking at the retreating Japanese army, the Song army erupted in laughter.Zhu Qiming's face was a little gloomy, the people of Fujiwara were not a waste, just now when the Japanese attacked the city tower, he ordered the whole army to attack, and the Song army was indeed very likely to collapse here, but if it was supported by them, then the army he led would collapse in an instant.is worthy of being the general of Wajima, and he has some ability.In this battle to defend Songsaka City, the Song army lost more than 200 people and injured more than 1,000 people, and the Japanese army lost more than 4,000 people and suffered countless injuries.Fujiwara Sato had seen the power of artillery and muskets with his own eyes, and he knew very well that if he continued to attack, even if he took Matsusaka Castle, it was estimated that he would lose half of the horses he brought.He needed to get the Song army of Matsuzaka Castle out of the city, and only then could he kill the Song army at the lowest cost.But the generals of the Song army were obviously not fools, and it was impossible for them to come out of the city to fight them.Whether to pay huge casualties and continue to attack under the pressure of various families, or to retreat and cede Kyushu to the Great Song Dynasty, this made Fujiwara people very hesitant.It was getting dark, and after a famous family general or retainer and Fujiwara people parted unhappily, the Fujiwara family's big tent was quiet.These people are not stupid, everyone has seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Song army.Although they are willing to obey the orders of the Fujiwara family for various reasons, they also have their own little abacus.If they can't get any benefits from following the Fujiwara people and run out of power, their family will be in trouble.Fujiwara's face was not good-looking, and only Fujiwara was left alone beside him.Fujiwara Isshin has always been a confidant of Fujiwara Sato, he was originally not surnamed Fujiwara, but Fujiwara Sato himself gave Fujiwara the surname."
General, tomorrow I will personally lead the army to attack Matsuzaka Castle.""
Now is not the time for you to go out."
Fujiwara said slowly.Fujiwara Ichishin leads the main force of the Fujiwara family, and if he fails, the strength of the Fujiwara family will be greatly lost, and at that time, not only will he not be able to continue to control this army, but he may even be annihilated by other families in turn."
But......"
Fujiwara shook his head and stopped Fujiwara from speaking.The Japanese army is different from the Song army, they are already fighting against each other, if it were not for the appearance of the Song army, they would not be able to unite together, the reason why they obeyed his orders was only because the Fujiwara family was the strongest, once the Fujiwara family fell from the throne, they would soon be eaten by them."
Yixin, Matsuzaka Castle doesn't have to be taken."
Fujiwara Sato said lightly.After listening to Fujiwara's words, Fujiwara was stunned.Could it be that the Shogun's target this time was not Matsuzaka Castle at all, but the seaport of Kyushu?
His target is the warship of the Great Song Dynasty?
No wonder the general has been acting so strangely.It turned out that he saw more than just driving the Song army back into the sea.Fujiwara Sato had already said during the peace talks that they would rob the Great Song Dynasty's warships, but all of them thought it was just an excuse to boost morale, but they didn't expect it to be true.Robbing the Great Song Dynasty's warships, then imitating construction, and finally attacking the Great Song Dynasty was the first time that Fujiwara Sato revealed his true thoughts.This is a brilliant dream, and if he can succeed, he will definitely leave a strong mark on the history of the Japanese people.Fujiwara was very excited and knelt down and kowtowed to Fujiwara.Satoto Fujiwara smiled."
It's just an idea, it's not too late to be happy when it's done, get up."
Fujiwara stood up single-mindedly."
The Song army has artillery and muskets, even if there are few people, as long as they have enough food, it is useless for us to continue to surround them, do you have any other way?""
I think we can bypass Matsusaka City and attack the harbor directly, Zhu Qiming brought the main force to Matsusaka City, the harbor must be empty guarded, if we can bypass Matsusaka City for a sneak attack, cut off their back roads and supplies, the Song army in the city will be self-defeating."
Fujiwara Isshin expressed his thoughts."
But there is a problem with this, if we are discovered by the Song army, or if we can't capture the harbor in a short time and cut off their back route, we will face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides."
Fujiwara Sato glanced at Fujiwara and said, "This idea of yours coincides with General Ben. ”Fujiwara thought about it for a while, but still opened his mouth to persuade: "General, you should be cautious." ”"There is no other way, otherwise the Song army will drag on with us here for March and June, and when the support of the Song army comes up, there will be no way to fight this battle."
Fujiwara Satoto spoke.After listening to Fujiwara's words, Fujiwara was also silent.He had the intention to persuade the people of Fujiwara, but he really had no better way, as the people of Fujiwara said, with the support of the Song army, they had no way to resist.Fujiwara Sato lowered his head and thought that if he could cut off the back route of the Song army and take the harbor, then the Song army in Matsusaka Castle would definitely collapse, and then his power would be able to swell several times, but if he failed, his position as a great general would end here.………… At this time, in Matsuzaka Castle, after a day of bloody fighting, the soldiers also rested against the wall.Soon, a group of sergeants went to the city with prepared meals, sweet potatoes, rice porridge, cakes, and pickles, which were not sumptuous, but enough for the sergeants to fill their stomachs and restore their strength.The generals did not leave the city walls, and they also ate with the soldiers on the walls.After eating.Zhu Qiming stood up and walked to the head of the city, looking at the corpses under the city wall, frowning and thinking."
The corpse needs to be disposed of, we don't know how long the Japanese will be here, and when the time comes, there will be trouble if there is a plague."
Lang Ping walked to Zhu Qiming's side at this time.Zhu Qiming nodded."
Is the person who sent out the messenger ready?""
It's already gone."
Lang Ping replied."
Fujiwara people are not easy to deal with."
Zhu Qiming shook his head, a little worried in his heart."
What do you mean by the general, that they will raid the harbor?"
Zhang Lan walked over and asked."
It's very likely that if they attack Matsusaka Castle for a few days, the Fujiwara people will definitely shift their targets, as long as we cut off our back route, then Matsusaka Castle doesn't matter how long it lasts?"
Zhu Qiming thought for a while and then spoke.
