#1615 besieged the city to help

Seeing that the enemy was retreating and the formation had begun to loosen, the Han army also stopped bombarding muskets and re-arranged into the square formations just now, and then continued to move forward under the command of the officer.

Their pace is still the same as before, not fast, but every step seems to be on the heart of a person, which is terrifying.

While walking forward and retreating, the speed of the Han army formation has not changed, but the speed of the vassal soldiers retreated faster and faster. Soon, some people could not bear the pressure brought by the red fire opposite, turning around and starting to escape.

The warriors in the formation tried their best to stop them at first, and even swung their swords to kill several people who took the lead in the escape, but their efforts quickly lost their effect. When the Han army formation was pressing forward step by step, their fear of the Han army finally overwhelmed the fear of the vassal warriors. These people no longer had the will to resist and ran back almost at the same time.

The scene of thousands of people escaping back was very terrifying. The warriors had no way to suppress them now, and many people were even swept back together.

"Bastard...bastard..." The Fukuoka lord Tadayuki Kuroda, who was watching the formation behind, was furious and waved the ribs in his hand to curse. He didn't know whether to scold him, such fearless vassal soldiers or the Han army.

However, even he could not suppress these fleeing soldiers. He had to accept the fact that his team was about to collapse after fighting with the Han. Now there are only a few hundred people left in his headquarters, where should we go?

"Master of the vassal, let's leave here and go to Nagasaki. It can't be defended anymore." The loyal old man came to his side and said, "It's over, and it doesn't make much sense for us to fight the whole army now. It's just a rock with eggs. While we still have some troops now, retreat quickly! Our troops are useless here, but they will have them when they arrive at the old Zhong. And... Think about it, if our vassal soldiers are exhausted, how should we meet the old Zhong?!"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Kuroda Tada immediately understood what the other party meant. Anyway, it seemed that it would be impossible to withstand it. It would be better to take more subordinates away. If there was still troops in front of the old master, there would be still status. If all the soldiers were fought over now, how could the lonely man be taken seriously by the old master?

Besides, what's the point of staying here? He himself was also afraid, afraid of the long red wall moving opposite him, and he found that he had no choice.

He immediately made up his mind and then quickly urged his mount to turn back.

"Let's go! Let's go!" With his order, the vassals around him turned their horses and quickly left the battlefield.

At this moment, a trace of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Kuroda Tada's heart. All the glory and glory accumulated by his family in the Warring States Period had been completely wiped out at this moment.

What should people in the Warring States Period think when they see today’s defeat? After flashing this idea, he never dared to think about it anymore. He just raised the whip and rushed forward desperately.

The escape of the vassal lord became the last sign of the collapse of the vassal army. Everyone rushed to flee, and no longer had any will to resist. A few people even fell to the ground and prayed for forgiveness from the enemy.

At this time, seeing that the enemy formation that was reinforced by the opponent had been defeated, the Han army immediately changed its formation and launched a new charge. The soldiers holding spears rushed forward quickly, preparing to pursue the enemy - although their number was far less than that of the enemy.

When they saw the soldiers in red rushing over, the soldiers who had already started to flee were even more panicked. They ran faster and faster. Countless people collided with each other because they were not careful, and then shouted and cursed. Some people even lay on the ground because they were knocked down, and were stepped by countless people and moaned harshly.

The pike soldiers of the Han Dynasty quickly rushed to their formation and then chased to the end of the enemy's army. Those who were lying on the ground or unable to escape were killed one after another. The others had no intention of resisting, but instead ran forward desperately, fighting with their previous comrades to escape.

On the high ground of the original position of the Han Dynasty, senior Han army officers in Hakata Bay used a telescope to see the short assault of the Han army and the results it brought.

"It's really easy to win!" Wang Changguo couldn't help but sigh, "I really didn't expect the shogunate army behind the wall to be so careless!"

Although he was very confident in the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, he always felt that the vassal soldiers on the opposite side should be able to resist. After all, the number of people was advantageous. However, he did not expect that the Han army would break through the opponent's defense so easily and then turn the positional war into a defeat war.

"It was expected that these Japanese shogunate troops could be the opponents of our great men's elite battles? With a slight impact, they would definitely not be able to stop them." Bi Su, the regiment general, replied with a smile, without taking the telescope in his hand. "So, Zhao Shuai's previous deployment was a little conservative. We can clearly defeat them both ways."

"How is that group going to fight now?" Wang Changguo asked in a low voice.

"Of course, we will continue to pursue and completely defeat them. Can we still give them a chance to breathe and gather together again to cause trouble for our army?" Bi Su replied without hesitation, "We should chase after them now, defeat all the enemy forces, and prepare for the next battle."

"But, this is different from Zhao Shuai's previous deployment?" Wang Changguo was still a little hesitant. "Besides, if there are too few troops here, it may not be good."

"Zhao Shuai's deployment is just a general strategy, and it cannot limit us all. As the regiment commander and the highest commander here, he has the power to re-formulate strategies according to local conditions. How can he stick to the rules and wait to miss the opportunity to fight? If we hadn't tried this today, how could he directly defeat these shogunate troops in one fell swoop?" Bi Su disagreed, "As for this, don't worry about the senator. You can see the strength of the shogunate troops. It's really not a good idea. As long as we can leave hundreds of people here and have gunboats to help, it's not a problem to defend this place. They should be anxious about our troops all day long. How can we worry about them attacking us? With us here, even if we are here, they will not dare to come!"

Wang Changguo thought silently for a while, and indeed felt that his words were reasonable. The most important thing was that, like Bi Su, he was determined to make more contributions to the Liaodong Army, even if he took on certain additional tasks.

"Don't let the officers and soldiers go too far, otherwise if Zhao Shuai is summoned, we can gather together to send reinforcements to them." Finally, he whispered.

Of course, Bi Su understood the other party's hint, so he nodded happily. "That's natural. How could we make it difficult for Zhao Shuai to do? The soldiers chasing will be restrained and ready to follow orders at any time, and will never miss a big deal!"

If he had not received any request for reinforcements, he planned to let the soldiers sweep around.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Wang Changguo no longer insisted on his own opinion, "I just hope that our officers and soldiers can continue to advance bravely, and make them cry and howl, and give Zhao Shuai and Chen Dashen a face."

After the two top commanders reached a tacit understanding, Bi Su immediately called his messenger over and told each other the opinions they had just discussed.

"Go quickly and tell them not to stop. Then, rush to death and fight to break up their souls! Don't stop the troops if you don't hear my order. You must not let the troops gather again and cause trouble for Zhao Shuai!"

"Yes!" The messenger saluted immediately, then turned around and left the high ground, rode on a horse with several other messengers, and rushed towards the Han army in the distance.

After the officers received the order to pursue, the Han soldiers who had already shot Xingzi cheered almost at the same time. Then they immediately adjusted and continued to pursue the vassal soldiers who had already broken up everywhere.

"What a pity, the cavalry has not been transferred up now..." Bi Su, who watched his soldiers go forward and pursue the vassal soldiers, suddenly sighed, "Otherwise, we can mow the grass all the way, which will save us a lot of trouble."

"What the regiment is saying is, but sooner or later there will be cavalry mowing grass, right? Hahahaha." Wang Changguo laughed.

Just when the Han army in Hakata Bay forcibly broke through the Fukuoka vassal army and defeated the opponent's resistance, the Han army in Nagasaki also landed successfully outside the outskirts of Nagasaki Castle in the morning, and used the naval artillery fire to disperse the harassment of the shogunate army and sent thousands of troops up.

Like the deployment of Hakata Bay, the troops that came ashore today also came from the same regiment. They are all troops under the command of the Ma Tongji Ma Regiment, and the current 3rd Regiment of the Japanese Restoration Army is temporarily organized.

Ma Tongji is still very young. Although his skin is a little dark because of his years of fighting, he is smart and strong, with clear facial features. He is considered to be one of the handsome men in the army.

Moreover, because he is the eldest son of the king, he has always been trusted and trusted by the top. In addition, he has made great achievements in his military career for several years and was soon promoted to the position of Tuanzheng. He has been so proud since childhood that he naturally developed a sense of arrogance. Under the leadership of such a Tuanzheng, his Tuanzheng also thought he was extremely superior. He fought from the north to the south, and had never met any opponents. He was the first-class elite in the country.

Nagasaki was the main attack direction of the Han army this time, and the first group to be involved in Nagasaki was their regiment. They all cheered and felt that this was the recognition of their superiors and they were determined to show their might in front of friendly forces and Zhao Shuai.

So as soon as they got ashore, they wanted to advance directly inland with great courage. Fortunately, Zhao Song put the orders to restrain him, so they waited honestly at the landing site for a whole morning to enrich the landing site.

In order to avoid the chaos in command, Zhao Song did not go ashore, but stayed on the Songshan to continue commanding the navy and army. After the landing troops were enriched in the morning, they finally placed Ma Tongji's regiment on the front line and occupied a large area of ​​coast.

The surrounding shogunate troops had been dispersed, and a small fort was also captured by them.

Moreover, after the efforts of transport ships and soldiers on the shore, many cannons of various shapes were transported to the shore, further enriching the strength of the landing troops.

Originally, Zhao Song and Ma Tongji had always hoped that a shogunate army would rush over from Nagasaki or inland to fight them, but when they landed, there was no movement on both sides except for sporadic harassment, as if nothing had happened.

Such strange silence slightly disappointed Zhao Song. He stood at the bow of the ship and was always observing the landing troops and the movements of Nagasaki Castle with his telescope, frowned unconsciously.

After last night's artillery fire, the appearance of Nagasaki Port is now completely unmoved. The coastal houses have been basically destroyed. The buildings of Heritage, Western paradigm and even Han styles, and the city walls accumulated by the residents over the past decades have been bombarded under the fierce artillery fire and were buried equally in the war. Looking around, there are broken walls everywhere, and the fire has spread to the city, but it has not yet been extinguished. If Zhou Pu was on this ship, he would definitely be extremely shocked by the current appearance of Nagasaki Port.

Some of these ruins shot by shells are still on fire, emitting green or black smoke, rising into the sky, making the sky gray and the temperature seem to have dropped a lot.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhao Song could always smell the burnt smell from Nagasaki Port from the wind. This disgusting smell usually makes people feel uncomfortable, but Zhao Song seemed to be unaware of it.

"Ship Zhao, the enemy's troops remained unmoved. What should we do next?" Li Huanghe, the temporary 2nd regiment of the Japanese conquest, asked in a low voice.

Like Ma Tongji, he was also one of the newcomers in the Han army, and he was also the eldest son of the king and the lord. He would inherit the title in the future, so he has always been trusted and valued by Shangfeng. However, compared to Ma Tongji, he is much more restrained, treats people more humble and gentle, and rarely quarrels with others. He has better popularity in the army than Ma Tongji.

Because of his temper, Zhao Song thought that he was more aware of the overall situation, so he handed over the task of attacking on the ashore to Ma Tongji to avoid conflicts between the various troops and unstable internal morale. What made Zhao Song very pleased was that Li Huanghe seemed to understand his intention, so he was not dissatisfied with this arrangement. According to the report of the senator arranged by Zhao Song in the Second Regiment, in the Second Regiment, some officers were a little dissatisfied with Zhao Song's "ignoring" their regiments, and collectively asked the regiment to fight with Zhao Song and put pressure on the regiment to make the Second Regiment play a more important role. These requests were directly rejected by Li Huanghe. He said that Zhao Shuai had faced great pressure and could not cause trouble for him anymore, and he wanted everyone to believe in Zhao Shuai and would never let everyone down.

Li Huanghe's statement further deepened Zhao Song's appreciation for him, so he has become much more pleasant to Li Huanghe this time. Of course, Zhao Song will never relax the distinction between the class and the class in the army, and the upper and lower classes.

"It's a good thing if the enemy is terrified." Zhao Song replied calmly, without showing any anxiety in his heart. "They dare not move, which is also convenient for us to move and move forward. What a great thing! Li Tuanzheng, please let your troops prepare too. I will transfer you to the afternoon."

Seeing that the enemy could not play any new tricks, Zhao Song was relieved, so he was ready to transfer a regiment he left in his hand. Of course, because the Han fleet had limited capacity, there was only half a regiment in the Lihuang River now, and the remaining troops were still waiting for landing in Busan.

"Okay! Thank you Zhao Shuai!" Li Huanghe was immediately overjoyed after an accident, "I'll inform my subordinates of the preparations."

"As for the troops that have already landed, let them march inland north, but don't enter Nagasaki Castle, first separate the connection between Nagasaki Castle and the outside world." Zhao Song continued to add the order, "After you get ashore, advance westward. Be sure to drive away the shogunate troops gathered around Nagasaki, so that Nagasaki is isolated and helpless. Do you understand?"
