Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Yes, Your Majesty." The captain of the personal guard quickly took his men to dispatch troops.

After a while, he ran to the Huaxia Army Navy Wharf to take over the command there.

As mentioned earlier, a small captain of the personal guard regiment is actually delegated to the bottom, and his position should at least be a D-level field brigade, or an important official position such as the garrison commander of the garrison regiment. Therefore, a small guard regiment captain is actually very important. Those who are capable are also extremely distinguished. No one will refuse to accept command. Besides, they will take over the troops with Zhang Qiang's warrant, so there must be no problem.

Soon, the guns were rumbling, and three nine-pound guns formed a platoon of guns against the enemy's open area to shell the enemy who was blocked by the militia's offensive team over there. There were not many soldiers stationed by the Chinese Navy and Marine Corps behind , they were in charge of organizing the attack. Previously, they had to be on the defensive due to their numbers. Later, militiamen joined them. They have attacked several times. The militiamen lost hundreds of people, but they only broke through some barricades and could not destroy the enemy.

With the addition of the militiamen on the coastal defense fortifications, their strength has gained a certain advantage, and they immediately invaded the corner of the pier. The enemy continued to send troops back to help, plugging the gap, and now it is forming a tug-of-war.

With the addition of artillery, it was still a bomb, and the situation changed immediately. The barricades were blown up one by one, and the enemy's team continued to collapse until they fled frantically to the pier. Thousands of militiamen rushed up and pressed the enemy to other battlefields, especially the pier.

Affected by this side, if the enemy does not want to be flanked by left and right, they can only abandon the barricades and retreat into the docks, so the militia troops led by the Guards over there quickly advance, and soon block the enemy to the docks, regaining the streets of the docks , The two sides shot at each other from a long distance away from the many cargo warehouses and loading and unloading equipment on the pier.

At this time, the battle on Feng Quan's side also fell into a low morale due to the enemy's retreat, so Feng Quan seized the opportunity to use the advantage of numbers to retreat more than 300 meters. Many people retreated directly to the beach behind, and some people still relied on Resist against the mountain.

Zhang Qiang immediately sent another captain of the personal guard to take a hundred soldiers and horses to the naval camp to adjust the cannons. In less than half an hour, the cannons from the naval camp were pulled out again, and more than a dozen cannons were fired together for several rounds. Shooting, the enemy over there collapsed, Feng Quan's soldiers immediately went to kill and shoot the enemy, and soon they were suppressed over there.

Feng Quan came to the government office with his guards, and handed over the command to the captain of the guards sent by Zhang Qiang.

As a result, the pressure on the enemy on the pier increased again. Four thousand troops led by Feng Quan, under the leadership of the captain of the personal guards, reinforced this side, and the situation suddenly changed. There were nearly [-] Chinese troops and [-] Xinlu militiamen Pressing towards the pier together, the [-] coastal defense militiamen who were reinforced over there were also led by the officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Army Navy from the other end to attack the enemies on the pier.

Feng Quan came to Zhang Qiang's side.

Zhang Qiang glanced back at him, and Feng Quan immediately said in shame: "Your Majesty, I deserve death. I was attacked by the enemy and lost 30 dan of grain and 100 million dan of various materials. The wharf was almost destroyed. The civilians on the wharf More than 3000 people died, more than 600 people fled, where in the city a thousand militiamen died, 500 casualties, 700 enemies were captured, 500 enemies were killed, and [-] civilians died, [-] were injured, the city gate A building was blown down, the city gate was damaged, and Kagoshima County lost nearly [-] million Huaxia Yuan in total.”

"Find out how many troops the enemy has for sneak attack, who led the team?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Feng Quan wiped off his sweat, "Your Majesty, on the beach is a former general of the State of Lu named Su Mufeng. He led a surprise attack on Kagoshima County in Japan and destroyed the Japanese deer with cannons." Miyagi, the place where General Kojima Daimyo lived, is still in ruins. It should have been the direct line of the third prince. I don’t know why he didn’t follow the third prince. Then it is said that he followed the eldest prince, but this time he followed The second prince's men came to attack Kagoshima county."

"Oh, he is a talent, but Mingzhu's secret vote, and his temperament of switching sides at this moment is too contemptible, how is he now?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Feng Quan said: "Now it has been beheaded, and the head was brought by the minister."

Seeing that Feng Quan wanted someone to present the man's head, Zhang Qiang quickly waved his hand, what are you doing, it's dark now, under the dim candlelight, looking at a dead head, even Zhang Qiang who is used to killing I don't want to look at a bloody head at this time, "Take it away, verify the body, and the head will be on the Kagoshima pier tomorrow, and three days later, the body will be crushed and the ashes will be thrown into the sea."

Ordinarily, this man is a good man. For Lu Guo, at least he can take the fleet to attack the Japanese when Japan provokes, destroy a palace city of the enemy, kill countless soldiers and thousands of people of the enemy, but for now For the Huaxia Army, such people are enemies, and the fewer the better, killing an enemy general like him can boost the morale of our army.

While speaking, the situation at the pier became clear. Many Japanese began to jump into the sea to escape, but how could they escape? Not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers approaching on the shore, but Zhang Qiang deliberately stayed behind on the sea. The several warships below are constantly attacking the enemy on the pier with artillery. Although they are solid bullets, they can also cause psychological pressure on the enemy.

Chapter 737 A Heavy Loss

Fighting until dawn, the sight is devastated, and there are burned ruins everywhere. The small town on the side of the pier is scrapped, and tens of thousands of tons of food and supplies on the pier are also scrapped. The houses have become ruins, and occasionally there are good ones Only masters, thousands of warehouses and hundreds of holes.

Five wooden trestles at the pier were destroyed, and only three were operational. Thousands of canoes with only a few tons, fishing boats with a dozen tons, and high-sea fishing boats with dozens of tons were sunk in the harbor. There are merchant ships ranging from 180 tons to [-] tons that belong to the Huaxia Kingdom, Xinlu Mansion, and where the third prince came from, and there are even two thousand-ton Dafu ships.

The enemy landed in three waves. In the first wave, there were no more than a thousand elite soldiers. They seized the pier directly, and then set fire to the pier to create chaos. He fought with the Yamen servants, and then fought with the militia guarding the pier with thousands of reinforcements, and defeated them.

Afterwards, the enemy who controlled the pier sent out a signal, and the second wave was the landing of 8000 soldiers, directly killing the militias of the nearby county towns and coast guards who came to reinforce them, as well as many spontaneously organized village guards in the countryside.

Of course, these people were defeated. They withdrew to the county seat, and then released their small boats to ask for help. The third wave landed was the little prince, who was led by the son of the second prince with [-] troops. There were [-] elite troops. Thousands of artillery, two thousand sailors formed the Qing army, and the remaining nine thousand troops were cannon fodder troops composed of Japanese samurai and wandering samurai on Shikoku Island recruited by the second prince.

After these troops arrived, the first wave of people took control of the pier, and the second wave of people was led by their general Su Mufeng to attack the barracks stationed near the pier, looting villages and towns, and when the third wave arrived, they would meet with the first. Part of the second wave of troops went directly to the county seat and attacked the county seat.

The soldiers and horses attacking the county reached [-] troops, including artillery, cavalry, musketeers, and a large number of cannon fodder troops.There are also some people from the villages and towns near the wharf who forcibly conquered the people of Xinlu Mansion with a force of four to five thousand troops.

After the powerful troops arrived at the county seat, the [-] guards in the county seat had already known the enemy's arrival, and began to close the city gates, preparing for defense, and evacuated many people into the city to escape.

When the little prince led his troops to attack the city gate, Feng Quan's troops had already arrived. At this time, nearly [-] cannon fodder troops had been piled up at the city gate, and many of the siege vehicles and ladders he made had fallen down. Just give the little prince time. , will definitely be able to capture all the cities.

But when Feng Quan came, there were nearly [-] elite soldiers from the Huaxia Army's marines and personal guards, and the troops sent by the second prince to stop them were defeated, with thousands of casualties. The second prince had just captured the city gate, and [-] troops rushed in At that time, the intercepting soldiers and horses had already hit a place not far from the city gate for three miles. The second prince saw that he was invincible, so he left his luggage and artillery, and led the elite soldiers to retreat while fighting, and retreated to the pier.

Feng Quan pursued closely.

Su Mufeng, who was fighting with the garrison of the Xinlu Mansion in several surrounding barracks, immediately retreated to the pier to meet with the little prince. After the reconciliation between the two families, there were still [-] soldiers and horses. One thousand elites, just a few hundred cavalry, and the rest of the troops are cannon fodder troops, but everyone knows that the Japanese samurai is a crazy guy comparable to the Middle East, making trouble everywhere, without any organizational discipline, and the defenders were killed by a large number of troops Under the circumstances, many people were taken aback by their crazy and fearless performance, and about two thousand soldiers and horses escaped from other city gates.

This escape shook morale, and another two thousand soldiers were killed or injured in the battle at the head of the city, so the remaining four thousand soldiers could not stop the attack of more than 1000 elites and hundreds of cavalry at all, and the city was in chaos. The soldiers of the Thousand Guards and the Marine Corps led three thousand militiamen to attack the city, while they themselves led a large force to chase and kill the little prince.

Seeing Feng Quan approaching, the unbroken barracks nearby immediately counterattacked, and the enemy could only retreat to the small town on the pier.

Ordinarily, it is only a matter of time before the enemy is eliminated, but the enemy is still too lucky or well-planned, and even let a squadron of them break through the block and come to Maotu to unload a lot of artillery, mules, horses, and luggage, so Feng Quan is here together. The enemy fought until Zhang Qiang came.

The enemy's attack this time can be said to be very sudden, and it was also due to the negligence of the Xinlu Mansion that the troops were attracted to the beach near Kitakyushu Island. Otherwise, there would only be [-] regular troops here. Landing is always a problem, and they will be suppressed soon, and then they can only drift on the sea or engage in more intense naval battles.

"How was the battle at sea?" It was dawn, and Zhang Qiang could already see the sea clearly.

Feng Quan said with a wry smile: "More than 30 of the 200 thousand-ton warships were lost, 180 were injured, [-] [-]-[-]-ton warships were sunk or damaged, and more than [-] transportation ships were destroyed by the enemy's [-]-ton warships. The warship sank.

The enemy suffered even more losses. The fourth batch of landed troops exceeded 1 soldiers and horses, and there were more than a dozen thousand-ton Fuchuan to deliver supplies. Unfortunately, our fleet intercepted them, fought fiercely overnight, and defeated the enemy. The enemy, the enemy's fourth batch of soldiers and horses only came to 4000 people, and five Fuchuan, and the others were sunk. The enemy's estimated losses were sixty thousand-ton warships, one hundred six-hundred-ton warships, and 150 180-ton warships. tons of warships.This is the sunk or injured ship we saw. As for whether the other ships were damaged, we don't know. Anyway, the numbers reported by the survey ships near Kyushu Island are probably the same. "

"The loss is not small, and the enemy's determination to destroy us is not small. It seems that we can't develop slowly. We have to hurt the enemy." Zhang Qiang said with a sigh.

His personal guard regiment lost two hundred elites. After several fierce battles, the Marine Corps also lost two thousand soldiers and horses, six hundred soldiers and horses, and four hundred were wounded. The sailors of the navy lost more than 300 people. One hundred wounded, three of the twelve thousand-ton warships stationed in the fleet sank and three were injured, seven of the 36 attached three-hundred-ton warships were also lost, eighteen were injured, thousands of sailors were killed, and the camp was also destroyed. Destroyed, and so was the pier.

Feng Quan clenched his fists and said: "We want to fight back, show the enemy, since the second prince wants us to perish so much, then we will hit him."

Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "You are in charge here, I don't care, I will just watch over here and sit here for you for a few days."

Feng Quan said: "Your Majesty, it's not safe here, why don't you let the old man send a sailor to escort you back to the center first?"

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "No, you can do your work. You need to clean up the mess here. If I can't help, I won't delay you. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about my safety. The officers and soldiers stationed in the First Fleet, and The navy ships, and the navy ships I brought are enough to protect me from being captured by the enemy, and I will see how you deal with the enemy."

Chapter 738 The Misfortune of Shikoku Island 1

There are many captured enemies, about 3, why are there 3?

Because nearly 500 wounded enemy ships were also captured during the naval battle, and there were nearly a hundred sailors and artillerymen on each ship, as well as some enemy warriors who jumped into gangs to fight, and there were [-] of these people.

And the cannon fodder farmers who attacked the county during the war, 2000 of them survived and were caught back, they have to take responsibility for their stupidity or bad luck.

There are also some gangsters who took the opportunity to make trouble when the city was captured by the enemy, and the enemy captured nearly 3000 people.

Nearly 8000 prisoners were captured on the pier, most of them were cannon fodder, farmers and wandering samurai, as well as the recruits recruited by the enemy who had been trained for several months, all of them were Japanese.

There were also more than 1 enemy prisoners captured previously.

With so many captives under the threat of whips and bayonets, the pier was cleaned first, and the trestle was repaired. The pier resumed operation in two days. Although some of the lost trestles could not be repaired and needed to be rebuilt, the existing ten trestles It has been put into use, and the ships that are constantly coming and going salvage the sunken ships in and out of the bay, pile them up on the nearby sandy beach, and the channel has been emptied.

The town was cleared out and was being rebuilt. The captives worked day and night, cleaning up the county town, docks, and destroyed villages, and then put them into rebuilding. People were killed every day. Bodies were pulled from the sea and gathered for incineration.

A week later, Kagoshima County has basically restored its original appearance.

However, Zhang Qiang did not use the First Fleet to find the eldest prince to support the enemy's attack on Xinlu Mansion. The trade between the Huaxia Kingdom and the main island of Lu State was still going on, and the garrison was still stationed on the main island of Lu State.

The eldest prince did not dare to blatantly attack the garrison and fleet.

He is still fighting desperately with the third prince at sea, and on some islands between the two sides. The soldiers and horses of both sides have been changed to the natives of Southeast Asia, the natives of Nanyang, and the natives of India. They use them as artillery to attack the opponent, and sometimes send small teams. Attacking each other's opponents, the fleets of both sides are still fighting endlessly at sea.

The battle between the eldest prince and the third prince will not affect Feng Quan for the time being. The two sides are basically evenly matched. Both the Qing Dynasty and the Dutch are interested in Japan's population advantage. Only this advantage can allow them to contain the Huaxia Army. Sometimes it is said that the Taixi people are not stupid. They have been dealing with the Huaxia Army for more than ten years, and they must have figured out some of the Huaxia Army's routines.
