Chapter 723: The Siege

Yagyu, the number one master of the Satsuma vassal state, saw that most of the soldiers he brought were injured, and he was shot and injured.

The spirit of the weapon Taoist spirit of Yagyu was stimulated and he jumped up and rushed towards the Ming army's location.

This is a military general. If ordinary people see that the situation is not good, they will definitely get oily immediately.

"Bang……"

Zhang Huangyan raised his hand and shot him in his lower abdomen. The Minnie bomb immediately blasted a bloody hole into Yasuo Liuya's lower abdomen.

"ah……"

Yagyu screamed and his body fell from the air, but before he could land, Lin Feng fired another shot:

"Bang……"

This shot directly made Yagyu Liuyao become Erlang Shen, and his eyebrows were penetrated by Mini bombs and died of death.

In this way, the number one master of the Satsuma clan died in the battle for the Satsuma clan.

In the age of hot weapons, no matter how brave you are, it is useless. If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

As soon as the general died, the Japanese immediately fled in all directions, and Zhang Huangyan immediately sent an order:

"Marines, charge..."

"Run!"

"Kill!"

"Kill all the Japanese..."

Hearing that he was about to charge, the Ming army soldiers immediately threw all the grenades on their bodies down the hillside.

After the grenade exploded, they charged from above and down.

How could the Japanese defeated generals block the Marines' charge?

Shoot with a rifled rifle in the distance, and directly place bayonets and fight hand-to-hand in the near distance.

Almost all Japanese masters died on the way to charge, how could these remaining soldiers block the charge of the Ming Marine Corps?

The Ming army's rifled rifles were equipped with bayonets and received strict training. They almost cut one by one against the Japanese who were unwilling to fight.

This tactic of swords and swords into the flesh further aroused the fighting spirit of the Ming army.

Soon they turned into bloodthirsty beasts, while the Japanese turned into lambs to be slaughtered.

Three thousand battles against more than 5,000 Japanese remnants, and the Ming Marines forced the Japanese to annihilate them.

At this time, Li Dingguo also led the Ming Dragon Banner Army and killed the Japanese soldiers who attacked them in front of him and blood flowed into a river.

The remaining more than 10,000 Japanese had to escape to Kagoshima, and the Dragon Banner Army was chasing them closely behind.

When the Japanese retreated into Kagoshima City, they found that only more than 6,000 people had successfully escaped.

This battle almost destroyed all the Satsuma army. Including all the soldiers in the city, the Satsuma family could not have ten thousand soldiers now.

Shimazu Kokuha was completely stunned at this time, and he began to regret not listening to Koizumi Junjiro's words.

Thinking of Junjiro Koizumi, Shimazu Kokusa immediately sent someone to find him and prepared to let him negotiate with the Ming army.

But Junjiro Koizumi had long disappeared, as if he had suddenly evaporated from the world.

Shimazu Kokuha had no choice but to give up looking for Junjiro Koizumi and immediately summoned all his daimyos to have a meeting.

Although the Satsuma Peninsula is the territory of the Satsuma Peninsula, there are more than a dozen vassals, and only after the war, soldiers were almost completely injured and killed.

However, there are still many officials, and these great names are sitting in the hall with a dejected look, without any idea.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Shimazu Kokusa could only say:

"The Ming army is already at the city. We no longer have the ability to fight now. We can only work together to defend Kagoshima and wait for the shogunate rescue. There are still 50,000 or 60,000 people in the city. You can immediately gather them all to defend the city. In addition, in order to delay time and wait for the shogunate reinforcements, we must send people to negotiate with the Ming army."

When he heard the dispatch of people to negotiate with the Ming army, Daming immediately said:

"The negotiation should not work, and it also means that the army does not accept surrender. Wouldn't that be equivalent to death?"

Another Daming stood up and said:

"I agree with the negotiation. If they attack the city, we can't stop it. Yagyu Liuyao and his son Yagyu Sect and other generals were killed by the Ming army. There is no one in the city to lead troops to fight. It's better to give it a try, what if the Ming army accepts surrender."

"That's right, I should have listened to Junjiro Koizumi's suggestion. It was because Yagyu was too stubborn to cause the current situation. I also agree with sending people to negotiate."

...

After Shimazu Kokusa spoke first, other daimyos spoke one after another, almost all agreed to send people to negotiate, and they were willing to surrender.

Speaking of the people who went to negotiate with the Ming army, everyone remembered Junjiro Koizumi again, but unfortunately others were missing.

In the end, Shimazu Konahi's uncle Shimazu Masamiya was willing to risk his life to negotiate with the Ming army for the sake of the Shimazu family and the future of the Satsuma family.

At this time, the 20,000 Ming army had blocked the four gates of Kagoshima and were preparing to launch a general attack.

At this moment, the gate of Kagoshima slowly opened, and a Japanese man in his fifties walked out with a white flag in his hand.

"Don't shoot, I'm from the Shimazu family. The Satsuma family is willing to surrender. The villain asks to see your Governor Lee."

Li Dingguo was discussing the tactics of attacking Kagoshima with Zhang Huangyan, and suddenly someone came to report:

"Reported, the Kagoshima gate was opened, and the Japanese sent a representative to ask for a meeting with the governor."

"Oh, they are going to surrender. What do you think of General Zhang!"

Li Dingguo was a little surprised and began to surrender before he even sieges the city, so he sought Zhang Huangyan's opinion.

Zhang Huangyan pondered for a moment:

"We didn't accept surrender at first, but now the siege is a bit hasty. We might as well see what the Japanese want to do before we talk about it."

"Okay, I have that intention, too."

"Come here, I will send the orders of this governor to keep up with the supplies behind me as soon as possible, and take a rest to prepare for the siege."

"yes"

After the messenger left, Li Dingguo said:

"Come, let the Japanese come in."

"yes"

Soon Shimazu Masamiya was brought in by soldiers.

He looked up at the Ming army's chief general. It was actually two young generals. This surprised Shimazu Masaomiya, and he said intimately:

"You can lead the Ming Dynasty to attack Japan at such a young age. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is full of talents."

"When I saw the Marquis of the Heavenly Dynasty, I didn't kneel down, bang..."

Shimazu Masagumi was thinking about his concerns, and the Ming soldiers suddenly shouted, then kicked him in the bend of his leg.

Shimazu Masaku kneeled in front of Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan after his legs became weak.

Shimazu Masakuya didn't care about the pain coming from his knees and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan:

"The General of the Celestial Dynasty, the villain is the uncle of Shimatus Kokuhiro, the lord of the Satsuma vassal state. This time he was ordered to negotiate with the General of the Ming Dynasty."

"Hahaha……"

Before Shimazu Masaguchi finished speaking, Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan laughed at the same time.

"Just, you were ordered to negotiate with the Ming General? You Japanese thought about it. The Ming Dynasty is about to break the city. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty?"

A flowering bullet exploded in a temporary military camp behind the Japanese fortress. With a huge roar, the war horses in the camp struggled desperately in frightened, trying to get rid of the reins tied to the manger.

Soon, more shells roared and the violent explosions drowned the turret, and the bodies of the exploded horses and people flew around the turret.

The panicked soldiers were in a trance and were hiding aimlessly, no one knew where the next shell fell.

On the sea, smoke from the Ming army warships was everywhere, and the Japanese artillery on the other side was even shrouded in huge explosions and smoke.

The dense shells covered almost every corner of the turret. The shogunate soldiers who hid behind the cannons, together with the cannons, were blown into the sky, and their limbs and broken arms were spilled everywhere.

All countries have their own national conditions. The Ming Dynasty focused on heavy artillery and light fire guns, while Japan focused on heavy fire guns and light fire guns.
