Chapter 87: Entering Saga Castle
"We are willing to surrender to the General of the Celestial Dynasty..."
A bald samurai in front was lying on the ground with a burst of energy, not daring to breathe. Behind him, the fat-faxe samurai samurai who was also lying all over the ground with fear and fear.
"What are you talking about? Do you understand Chinese translation?" Although Chu Yun saw that the other party was surrendering, he couldn't understand the language here at all!
"General, my name is Inoue Youbingwei, and my Chinese name is Chen Dalang. He escaped from the Liaodong turmoil eight years ago. He is proficient in the language of the two countries. Please be the general's guide." A short Han man in the samurai vassal said in awe.
The rise of the Later Jin Dynasty was a disaster for the people of Liaodong and southern Liaoning, and they all made them escape to Japan.
"Get up. If you perform well, I can not only exempt you from your crimes, but also give you a reward." Chu Yun said.
"As for the order!" Chen Dalang was overjoyed and proudly got up from the ground. Looking at the group of colleagues still lying on the ground, not to mention how proud they were.
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 people of the Ming Dynasty...
"The rest of the people were detained and transported back to southern Liaoning to work hard work. They served for three years to observe the future." Chu Yun asked the fleet to transport all the surrendered warriors to southern Liaoning.
By the way, the two infantry battalions that Dalian Port were preparing to support this side were pulled over.
"Where were our Ming Dynasty merchants detained?" Chu Yun asked Chen Dalang.
"The Ming Dynasty merchant was detained in Saga City by the vassal master Katsushima Katsushima. In fact, this place was called the Faemaki Kingdom, but now it is dominated by the Saga family, so people are used to calling it the Faemaki here. In fact, there are many vassal masters here, some of which were separated by the elders of the Kuroshima family." Chen Dalang tried hard to tell Chu Yun what he knew.
"How many people are there in Saga City?"
"Not less than two thousand. In name, Katsushima Katsushima is a daimyo of 300,000 shi, but in fact it only has about 60,000 shi, and it takes other vassal lords to gather thousands of people."
Chu Yun roughly understood that the system of Japan at this time was somewhat similar to the feudal system in ancient times. Katsumao Guodao was a small prince on Kyushu Island, and his direct control of troops was very limited.
"We only have two thousand people, just fight directly." Chu Yun found Chen Jisheng, several battalion officials and captains to discuss the offensive route of Xiang Saga City directly.
"If you want to push Saga City to a squad, your soldiers will be very fast! Saga City is surrounded by water, and the moat alone is a hundred meters wide. There is only one wooden bridge leading to the city. You should occupy the territorial bridge before they can react to it to ensure that the army is flat!" Chen Dalang slapped his head and suddenly this very important piece of information sounded.
Goro Maru, who was running for life on the other side, fled into Saga City in a hurry. Only the indestructible Saga City was the only fortress he believed could resist the Ming army.
"Master of the vassal, I want to see Master of the vassal!" Goromaru shouted with his subordinates.
"Baga, why are you quarreling? We thought the Ming army was coming!" The defenders in Saga Castle said dissatisfied.
"Sir, Mingjun is really coming!" Goromaru said aggrievedly.
When Katsushima heard that Goromaru had escaped from the port, he quickly summoned Goromaru and others.
"Have you encountered the Ming army's fleet?"
"Master of the vassal master, the Ming army's fleet is so terrible. There are so many cannons, and our iron cannons are not comparable to them! I am anxious to come back to make the vassal master be careful and never to shake the Ming army!" Goromaru said anxiously.
"How could the Ming army come so quickly and be so strong..." Katsushima Fukushima sat down and pondered. He always felt like he had stabbed the hornet's nest!
“How is the port now?”
"I don't know if the young man is chasing the Ming army tightly. As soon as we arrive at the port, we will go ashore and go straight to here." Goromaru stared at Katsushima Katsushima's expression carefully, for fear that his master would be angry and kill him and others.
"How many ships are there in the Ming army's fleet? How much firepower is it?" Katsushima Guoshi asked again.
"There are dozens of large ships and thousands of cannons!" Goro Maru made Chu Yun's fleet's strength even more exaggerated.
"So powerful? No, send someone to guard the bridge leading to the city gate!" Katsushima Katsushima suddenly woke up.
With such a strong strength of the Ming army, it will definitely be unstoppable all the way. Maybe you won’t stop at all and will directly attack Saga City!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dense muskets sounded long ago on the cable bridge leading to Saga City. This cable bridge spans the moat surrounding Saga City, which is the only way to Saga City, and there is a momentum that a man can pass by thousands of men.
However, Chu Yun realized this and ordered the main force of the First Battalion of the Fourth Brigade of Chen Jisheng to raid Saga City quickly!
After Goromaru escaped into Saga City, Chen Jisheng, who was pressing step by step, arrived immediately! Chen Jisheng could not control his desire to make contributions. This was his claim to loyalty to Chu Yun! If he wins, he can have muskets and cannons in the whole brigade, and if he loses, he will have big swords and bows and arrows!
"Kill me and conquer Saga City. Each person will receive twenty taels of silver!" Chen Jisheng and five hundred soldiers forced the battle to capture the Cable Bridge, and muskets filled!
The samurai warriors who usually stationed on the cable bridge were so scared that the Ming army came too fast! Moreover, the Ming army was obviously on the opposite side, and their bullets swept over! Although they were not very accurate, they would always be hit by several bullets when facing the shooting of hundreds of Ming army's muskets!
"If you arrest the culprit, Katsushima Katsushima, you will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver and be promoted to one level!" Chen Jisheng roared with red eyes.
"Brig Commander, can I catch Katsushima Katsushima? I can also be a brigade commander?" asked the first battalion commander passionately.
"Go to your uncle, wait until you catch Katsushima, and then talk about it." Chen Jisheng kicked the battalion commander and said, "Take people with me and kill them!"
"Get the bayonet!"
After one or two rounds of muskets were shot in the front row of the main battalion of the Fourth Brigade, after basically sweeping away the warriors who were defending the opposite side, they all inserted the cold bayonet into the rifle and rushed towards the opposite shore in batches.
On both sides, infantry holding muskets were also fanned and shot towards the opposite shore, suppressing the archers and musketeers on the other shore with all their might.
There were dozens of warriors guarding the other side, but under the full attack of the Ming army, the storm soldiers who were hit by muskets fell on the wooden bridge or fell into the moat, dyeing the river water slightly red.
"Retreat to the city..." Seeing that his group of people were suppressed by the Ming army's muskets, the guard bridge had to crawl on the ground, retreating back with his hands and feet.
As for destroying the cable bridge? Standing up will only become the target of the Ming army. How to destroy it?!
"Kill!" Chen Jisheng would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at all. Moreover, he not only wanted to capture the important strategic position of the Suoqiao, but also had to use infantry to capture the proud Saga City!
