Chapter 553: The Shimazu Family's Choice (Part I)


When Shimazu Tadashi found out that it was too late to be fooled, the entire fleet was blocked in the shallow bay and could not move, Shimazu Tadashi also led the naval fleet to try to break out of the predicament, but each time it was blocked back, Shimazu Tadashi fidgeted on his own ship.

"Your Excellency General, my subordinates have already sent people to check, there are reefs all around, there are no shipping lanes, and the only two shipping lanes are guarded by pirates."

The deputy said to Shimazu Tadashi; "The subordinates thought that if we wanted to break out, we had to go backwards, because the channel in front of us was blocked, and the channel ahead was narrow, and although the pirates only left two ships, it was very difficult to break through."

"The Baga pirates are very cunning."

Tadashi Shimazu said; "The route in the rear is heavily guarded by pirates, and it is very difficult to break out; If we are completely blocked in this drop, we will not be able to hold on to the drops ourselves without them attacking them at that time. ” "Your Excellency, our fresh water can last for two days, and if we can't get out after two days, the situation will be very unfavorable to us."

"Of course I understand this, pass on my order, all the sea ships are assembled, and we will fight to the death, charge the enemy ships, and make a way to work."

Shimazu Tadashi ordered.

On the other side of the Sea Dragon, the deputy general patted Zheng Baolin on the back and said: "The general is still your wisdom and blocked them in Repulse Bay; But the general you have brought most of the boats, and they are going to run from the front."

"Don't worry, they won't be able to run."

Zheng Baolin said confidently; "The passage ahead is narrow enough for one ship to pass through, and I have scuttled one of the ships to block it, and I have sent two ships to occupy the route, and they will not be able to get out of front anyway; Now my only concern is here; Although the channel here is not very wide, there is no problem in accommodating seven or eight Japanese ships, and if they attack us, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold them, and it seems that they will be blocked without paying a little price. ” "General, you see that the Japanese Navy Division has sent thirty sea ships."

The lieutenant general pointed ahead.

Zheng Baolin said: "It seems that they are about to break through, and they ordered everyone to meet the enemy; If it weren't for the narrow waterway, such a hard-fought battle would really not be something we could afford to bear. ” This is a hard-fought battle, the two sides launched a tragic collision battle, which is a cruel test of shipbuilding technology on both sides, in order to win the victory both sides have sent the largest and strongest ships, including the Sea Dragon, five large building ships took the lead in attacking, "bang, bang, bang" fierce collision sound and huge impact, making people feel dizzy; In terms of size and sturdiness, the ships of the Japanese Kingdom cannot be compared with the sailors of the Beihai Gang.

The first impact on the five ships of the Wa Sailing Division were sunk, but this is not the end, but just the beginning, the two sides then engaged in a brutal frayal battle, the Wa Sailing soldiers are indeed very brave, but they are just a personal fight, but can not cooperate with the battle, although some boarded the ship, but also killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish, in order to maintain a long-term attack, Shimazu Tadashi sent his own ships in waves, but soon Shimazu Tadashi found that his attack was futile, In such an attack, sooner or later this route will be completely blocked by the shipwreck.

Of course, Zheng Baolin's side was not without the slightest damage, there were five sea ships that were sunk, and they were all sunk on the route, even if they sank into the sea, they still played their surplus value; The whole sea area was full of sawdust, the Sea Dragon was also heavily damaged, Zheng Baolin stood on the bow covered in blood, the battle was very fierce, Zheng Baolin's subordinates suffered heavy losses, and the impact of this naval battle on Zheng Baolin was very far-reaching.

The warring Japanese Shimazu Navy fleet at sea has been at a disadvantage, but at this time the battle on the road is not very smooth, after getting reinforcements, Li Qing took a small city fifty miles away from the landing point, this small city is called Itabara, the population is only a few thousand, but the city defense measures are still relatively complete, there is a circle of not very low city walls on the periphery, after taking itahara city, Li Qing while strengthening the city defense, while sending troops to sweep around and scavenge grain and grass.

Li Qing planned to have a decisive battle with the Shimazu army's army here, and at this time, Shimazu Tadahisa led an army of 10,000 troops outside Itahara Castle had just finished camping, and Li Qing was standing on the city wall looking down on the entire Shimazu army camp; Zhou Hai walked to Li Qing's side and said, "Lord Wang, now that the army of the Japanese Kingdom has come to the city, what should we do next?"

"Waiting for them to attack the city," Li Qing said with a smile; "The king has prepared plenty of food, grass, and weapons in the city, enough for us for a year.

As long as they dare to come, they will definitely let their heads pop and bleed. ” "Lord Wang, if we stay in the city all the time, won't we lose the initiative on the battlefield?"

Zhou Hai asked puzzled.

Li Qing said to Zhou Hai: "Our troops are limited, and we are not familiar with the terrain, if we engage in a field battle with the enemy, it is easy to suffer losses and cause heavy casualties; Now we are refusing to defend the city, which is mainly anti-guest, and we have changed from the attacking side to the defending side, which can greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers. ” "The last general has been taught."

Zhou Hai said admirably to Li Qing.

Li Qing continued to say to Zhou Hai: "At the beginning, my father told me that as a general, you don't have to have extraordinary force, but you must have extraordinary resourcefulness, and you should win with strategy for generals, and I will give you this sentence today." ” "Thank you for the cultivation."

Zhou Hai said gratefully.

"Take the brothers and keep it, and this king will go to other places to see" Outside the city, Shimazu Tadahisa was discussing the military situation with a group of military generals, and Shimazu Tadahisa asked, "Can you confirm that this is the group of pirates?"

"Hai," said one of the adjutants; "Lord Guardian, they have a skull banner on the head of the city, the same flag used by pirates."

"Eight Tooth Road."

Shimazu Tadahisa roared angrily; "This group of pirates is so hateful that they dare to go here and spread wild, and they are all dead."

"Lord Guardian, now that our army has surrounded Itahara, but the enemy has raised the city walls, we need to build enough siege equipment to be able to attack."

"The pirates are very cunning, immediately prepare the required siege equipment, we must capture the city as quickly as possible, and kill all the pirates."

"Hai" "Is there any news about Shimazu Tadashi," Shimazu Tadahisa continued.

"Lord Guardian, there is no news yet, but Lord Guardian doesn't have to worry about Drip yet, our Shui Master is the most powerful Shui Shi in the entire Wa Kingdom, and no one can compete with our Shimazu Shui Shi Di work."

"I know this drop, but the enemy's landing makes me a little uneasy, the naval battle has not yet been won, they dare to go deep into the lone army, it is really bold to work hard, I want to use their dripping head to comfort Amaterasu God Tomorrow's army will begin to attack the city, with the east gate as the main direction of attack to invest all the elite troops to work."

Tadahisa Shimazu ordered.

"Guardian Wisdom of Lord Hai" The second more is offered, continue to ask for votes:
