Chapter 415: Soldiers besiege Sado Castle


Li Lu stepped on an already stiff and cold ashigaru corpse and looked into the distance with a telescope.

He found that not a single Japanese ashigaru was missing, except for hundreds of corpses on the ground.

"Set up a camp one mile in front of the dock and send troops to stay overnight to check the enemy's eastward direction.

Be sure not to allow Japanese artillery to approach the camp."

The two Qian Generals under his command bowed and agreed, and immediately dispatched Ye Fushou.

At the same time, one Thousand Generals were on guard and one Thousand Generals set up camp.

Li Lu looked at the Japanese people watching in the distance, and immediately dispatched North Korean soldiers from Jeju.

This was Zhao Lie's order.

Patrolling, monitoring and interrogating Japanese people was necessary in Japanese areas, but it was also the most hated thing.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for this job to be handed over to the Korean soldiers who have a feud with the Japanese.

Li Lu Shen agreed.

Therefore, when he came here this time, he brought 500 North Korean soldiers, just to appease the place.

The five hundred Korean soldiers were also well-trained.

They lined up in neat lines and walked towards the Japanese houses on both sides of the official road.

Most of the Japanese here have fled, but there are still a small number of hundreds of Japanese who have not left.

They watched in horror as the North Korean soldiers in full body armor rushed towards them menacingly.

As soon as the North Korean soldiers arrived, they began to search from house to house.

In the end, they found more than a dozen Japanese Ashura injured by shotguns in several houses.

They were too injured to escape, so they hid them.

They were immediately killed by the North Korean soldiers.

They were beheaded and all the Japanese who were hiding them were also beheaded.

The North Korean soldiers were really merciless to the Japanese who almost destroyed the country and had caused trouble in North Korea for ten years.

The Ming soldiers who were supervising them were speechless.

The North Korean soldiers who were usually very obedient and honest could use a fierce look at this time.

To describe it, it is just a question: when the Japanese invaded North Korea, why were the North Korean soldiers so incompetent?

Bloodshed and terror immediately enveloped Komu Port.

The Japanese were frightened when they saw the Korean soldiers.

Fortunately, there were Ming soldiers watching.

The Korean soldiers killed more than a dozen Ashigaru and more than 20 Japanese.

Too much. therefore.

Xiaomu also slowly calmed down.

On the shore, the Ming soldiers were busy building camps, building towers, and digging moats.

The work was not easy.

But this is the best way to prevent your opponent from surprising you.

The sailors on the ship were not idle either.

They were unloading the giant cannons from the ship.

These were ten twenty-four-pound and twenty thirty-six-pound long-barreled cannons pulled from the Jeju inventory.

They were all powerful siege weapons.

The Military Intelligence Department of the Polu Army has reported that the city defense on Zuodu Island is quite strong and difficult to attack.

It would be best to have a huge cannon to suppress the formation.

This was assisted by huge cannons, but these things often weighed several thousand to ten thousand kilograms and were too troublesome to move.

Now it is just the first cannon landing.

These are fort guns or naval guns.

There are no gun carriages, so it is necessary to Pulling by mules, horses or oxen is also quite time-consuming and laborious.

One of the tasks of the Korean soldiers was to collect large livestock from the Japanese.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of these at the dock.

In the end, they found more than ten oxcarts, more than twenty horse-drawn carriages, and more than thirty scattered cattle and horses.

As for the collection of these large livestock.

Of course, not a penny is given.

Have you ever seen the occupying army give money to the conquered people?

They have to suffer without money and do not harm their personal safety.

This is already very kind.

Of course, these Japanese can only dare to be angry.

I dare not say it.

Of course, these soldiers will be scolded behind their backs.

With the help of these large livestock, there is no need to worry about the transportation of the cannon.

In the evening, the camp had been erected, and two outer moats were dug.

Fortunately, it's a beach, the sand is loose, and the work is quick and not tiring.

There are moats and horse guards outside, plus surveillance by towers.

It can be said that it is impregnable, and there is no possibility of a sneak attack by the Japanese.

Li Lu was not in a hurry to march inland, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

It would take a day to unload the cannon, so there was no point in rushing.

He is not in a hurry; Maeda Fengyi fled back to Sado Castle in the central plains, and immediately alerted Sado's chief Yasuda Yu.

"Akito, you read that right."

Yasuda said in surprise.

"My lord, I have made no mistakes.

I am willing to use my head as a guarantor."

Maeda Fengyi said with a big bow.

"Then what should we do now?"

Yasuda was a little dull.

It is true that he is the flag of the shogunate, but he is an executive officer who manages general affairs, not an ashigaru general, a cavalry general, or an iron artillery general who goes into battle.

Faced with such a situation, Yasuda The male is a bit bearish.

"Sir, now we should immediately summon the ashigaru from the Aikawa area, and the young people from the Aikawa area to help defend the city.

In addition, the young people near the town must also be recruited to defend the city."

Maeda Fengyi said anxiously, feeling extremely contempt for Yasuda Yu.

Damn, the fire is on the house, you are still so sluggish, you are really useless.

However, no matter how urgent Maeda Fengyi was, he still had to issue the order.

This was all Sado's mobilization, and he, the Ashigaru general, had no say.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to send someone to call for help right away."

Yasuda Xiong strongly agreed with summoning people to defend the city.

The more people there are, the more hope there is to defend the city, and his life is also guaranteed.

Yasuda Xiong sent several of his men one after another and immediately began to recruit people.

"Sir, since we are defending the city, rice grains and rolling logs and rocks are necessary.

If the enemy attacks the city for several months, we will not starve.

Without the rolling logs and rocks, the city may not be able to defend."

Maeda Fengyi continued.

"Well, now there is enough rice to last for more than two months.

The general will definitely send a large army to rescue then.

As for the rolling wood, stones and arrows, preparations will be made immediately."

Yasuda became more awake and began to make arrangements.

There were wars all over Sado, and the people who could leave fled to the town.

Those who didn't want to leave took shelter in the mountains and forests.

The horrors that occurred in Korea and Ming Dynasty have reappeared in Sado.

In the next two days, five hundred ashigaru guards guarding the Aikawa gold mine in the north returned under the leadership of the Ashigaru Banto, bringing back thousands of taels of newly refined gold and silver.

Young miners and smelters from the Aikawa area also entered the city.

More than a thousand people began to help defend the city.

Two thousand people from Qingzhuang near the central town also entered the city, which made the number of defenders exceed the 10,000 mark, which made Yasuda Yu and Maeda Fengyi feel a lot more at ease.

It is said that things are easier to do when there are more people.

These people quickly prepared the rolling logs and stones.

If there are not enough people to demolish the houses, the city will not be preserved, so what is the use of the houses.

Due to the sharpness of Akito's shotguns, Maeda Fengyi ordered to prepare more iron shields and wooden shields for protection.

It didn't matter if they were not enough, they still demolished them.

So many people's houses did not need to be demolished, but the door panels inside and outside were demolished, almost every household.

It was so open that I didn't know how hospitable the people of Sado were. that's all.

More than 10,000 people were working frantically, and the baggage for the city defense was piling up.

The new miners also began to organize themselves, and it was not too messy.

Sado prepared frantically for the battle.

Li Lu and Qi Wei were so happy at the dock that they learned a piece of news from Japanese navy sailors captured on local warships.

This fleet was here to carry gold and silver.

This is not bad, when I heard that there was gold and silver in the three dilapidated red seal ships that were blasted by Tiago's can opener.

This was not bad.

Qi Wei hurriedly sent out men to repair it, saying that he could not sink it, otherwise it would be too troublesome to salvage it.

After a day of repairs, the three Zhuyin ships were finally saved.

Although it was impossible to restore them to their original appearance, there was still no problem if they didn't encounter big winds and waves while sailing.

After counting, there are more than 19,000 taels of gold and 150,000 taels of silver here, which is the output in the past six months.

This made Li Lu and Qi Wei very happy.

If there is anything Mr.

Zhao likes most, besides money, it is not that Mr.

Zhao is so greedy for money.

As a direct subordinate, of course he knows that their warships, cannons, soldiers and horses are all made of gold and silver.

This harvest, But it is enough to cover the expenses of the Polu Army for three months.

Master Zhao will always be extremely happy.

It is really a windfall from heaven.

Three days later, all the cannons were unloaded from the ships, and more than 2,000 Polu infantry began to march toward Sado Castle in the northeast.

As for the camp, it was left to the navy's armor and the warships on the shore to guard it.

With the escort of warships and cannons, it would be a joke for the Japanese to attack the camp.

In fact, it's not that far away.

Sado Island isn't too big, and the two places are only fifty or sixty miles apart.

But the giant cannons are too slow to hold up, and the troops really have to guard them.

If these giant cannons are attacked by surprise, it will be troublesome.

So the team crawled towards Sado at a turtle speed of twenty miles every day.

At early noon on the fourth day, a team of more than 2,000 people appeared at the foot of Sado Castle.

Five miles away from the city, Li Lu ordered the camp to be set up.

He took his personal guards to two miles away from the city to take a closer look at Sado Castle.

Sado Castle Saturday.

It has been hundreds of years ago, but it was originally a rammed earth city wall.

But thirty years ago, gold mines were opened here.

After the Tokugawa family came to power, the gold and silver mines flourished here.

After becoming the main source of revenue for the shogunate, the Tokugawa family wanted to strengthen the city.

For protection, Sado Castle was rebuilt and covered with bricks.

At this time, what was displayed in front of Li Lu could be regarded as a strong city.

The city was three feet high and one foot wide.

The moat was more than one foot wide and more than one foot deep.

Li Lu took a quick look and saw that this was a city filled with human lives.

He only had more than two thousand people under his command and could not attack by force.

Li Lu was glad that he had a huge cannon to help him, otherwise he would have been in big trouble this time.

On the first day, the two armies just came to meet and look at each other.

The Polu army erected the camp steadily and took a good rest at night.

At the beginning of the second day, the Ming army camp began to become noisy.

After receiving the news, Yasuda Yu and Maeda Fengyi hurried to the west city head to look at it.

In the middle of the hour, a thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came out of the camp and set up a military formation three miles away from the city.

Yasuda Yu and Maeda Fengyi used telescopes bought from the Portuguese to watch the Akito army formation.

I saw the flags fluttering in the wind, the formations in order, the soldiers high-spirited, and the armor on their bodies shining with a cold metallic light in the sun.

Hiss, Maeda Fengyi took a breath of air.

Yasuda Yu looked at Maeda Fengyi without knowing why.

Maeda Fengyi was surprised that all the Ming troops were protected by iron armor.

He looked back at his own ashigaru.

Although they were the general's flagship unit, they were also protected by bamboo armor and armor.

In the past, these soldiers had to fight against each other.

Many of the daimyo's unarmored ashigaru were well-equipped, but they were really unsatisfactory when they encountered this Ming army.

Next, when another thousand Jujia Ming army marched in uniformly, they were already shocked to the point of numbness.

When the thirty cannons were hauled out by oxen, Yasuda Yu and Maeda Fengyi's expressions immediately turned pale.

When they saw such a thick cannon, they felt that they were in big trouble. s: Thanks to You Daxing and Brave Invincible for their monthly ticket support in 2007.
