The arrival of Liu Chuang was tantamount to adding more power to a tiger. After annihilating 20,000 Fuso navy, including Jiro Sakai, the balance of victory tilted towards them in this battle.
According to Liu Chuang's intention, after Jiro Sakai was killed, he would return to Zhoushan Island along a secret path on the island. Now his identity has not been exposed.
After infiltrating, you can capture Yamashita Isamu alive at a critical moment, perhaps with his men.
On Su Qi'an's side, he brought a group of Yuezhou naval forces to cooperate with him and launch a frontal attack. Both sides should cooperate internally and externally. As long as Yamashita Yuong is captured alive, this battle is basically a certainty.
Liu Chuang's plan was a bit risky, but it was very feasible. Once it was completed, it would at least reduce casualties. After Su Qi'an discussed it with Wu Dingguo and Su Yong, they agreed directly without refusal.
After clarifying the plan, Liu Chuang did not delay, clasped his fists at Su Qi'an and the others, and then the prepared boat disappeared from the sea under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Su Qi'an came back to his senses and looked at Jiro Sakai's body. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and motioned to take him down and bury him directly when the war was over.
This is unpredictable. As the old saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet.
Jiro Sakai was so cautious and cunning, but he never imagined that one day he would die in the hands of the person he always thought was one of his own.
However, Liu Chuang had been preparing for this day for a long time. The relationship between him and Jiro Sakai had never been so harmonious. There were conflicts between the two parties and they did not deal with each other.
In order to gain Jiro Sakai's trust, he has been looking for a suitable opportunity, and the rescue in the last battle on the east coast was a God-given opportunity.
With the overall situation in mind, he personally led people to rescue. Not only that, but in order to save Jiro Sakai, he was shot by an arrow for him.
As long as the arrow was more accurate, Liu Chuang would probably be killed.
Liu Chuang's life-and-death rescue not only won the admiration of all the men on the island, but even Jiro Sakai, who was not dealing with him, was slightly lowered by his actions and was a little moved.
Then Jiro Sakai wanted to punish him with death, and there were many voices of criticism on the island. At this time, it was Liu Chuang who, holding his body that had not yet recovered, begged Yamashita for mercy and analyzed everything from the perspective of the overall situation.
No one on the island was dissatisfied with that kind of generosity, which also dispelled Sakai Jiro's wariness towards Liu Chuang.
In the subsequent battle with Dongzhou Navy, Liu Chuang took over Fuso Navy's logistical support and fully mobilized to support Sakai Jiro's battle.
As the war deepened and Xie Cang fell into Yamashita Isamu's trap, the Fuso Navy's mission was basically completed. Sakai Jiro quickly escaped in the melee.
He said he would put life and death at risk, but if there was a chance to escape, how could he not cherish it.
The person who assisted him in his escape was none other than Liu Chuang. With Liu Chuang's assistance, Sakai Jiro temporarily escaped from this dangerous sea.
I thought I could escape to heaven, and after returning to Zhoushan Island, I was thinking about how to fight Su Qian's Dongzhou soldiers. Just when Sakai Jiro was relaxing, Liu Chuang made a sneak attack without warning, and pierced the heart with a knife from the back. Sakai Jiro had no time to react. , died on the spot.琇书蛧
The accompanying guards, in a daze of horror, were dispatched by Liu Chuang in three strokes.
This may be fate. In the history of various dynasties, there are many famous figures, no matter how much changes they caused in the past.
But in the end, most of them were killed by some unknown little people, let alone someone as big or small as Jiro Sakai, who died.
The death of Jiro Sakai was considered a valuable death for Liu Chuang. If he had been killed in the battle on the Dongzhou coast, Liu Chuang would have had no chance to gain great reputation on the island.
After saving Jiro Sakai's life, his status, identity, and prestige now gradually catch up with Yamashita Isamu, and his power on the island has also increased.
This is the fundamental reason why Liu Chuang does not kill Jiro Sakai for the time being. Although Jiro Sakai is ruthless, he is a good commander after all.
The war is imminent, even Yamashita Isamu will not let Sakai Jiro die in vain, he must die according to his plan
.
It was precisely after seeing through Yamashita Isamu's plot that Liu Chuang desperately interceded for Sakai Jiro.
If they did not plead for mercy, their plan for this battle would not be implemented smoothly. The next step is to see Liu Chuang return to the island and cooperate with him to capture Yamashita Isamu alive in one fell swoop.
Not long after Liu Chuang's ship disappeared, the Yuezhou navy, which had been well prepared and rested, headed straight for Zhoushan Island at the fastest speed under Su Qi'an's order.
They are now less than ten nautical miles away from Zhoushan Island. The island at this time is quite lively.
It was the excitement of the outbreak of the war. If you look at it from a high altitude, fierce battles are breaking out in the outer, middle and inner islands of Zhoushan Island.
In the outer and inner islands, it can be clearly seen that the two forces are constantly advancing towards the central area.
The battle in the central region was particularly fierce. Faced with the outflanking of the two forces, Xie Cang led the troops who landed on the island and tried their best to fight back.
At this time, Xie Cang's face was solemn. According to the plan, everything went well. After they landed on the island, they conquered the outer and central parts of Zhoushan Island as quickly as possible, and then gathered all their forces to storm the last inner island.
Although the Japanese pirates on the inner island resisted fiercely, the battle should be resolved in about an hour at most.
But who would have thought that just half an hour ago, a large number of Fuso Navy warriors suddenly appeared in the sea behind the captured outer islands.
They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. First they were bombarded by artillery, and then they quickly landed ashore and started fighting directly with his rearguard.
Not only that, with the sudden rush of Fuso Navy, the Japanese pirates on the inner island who were cowering in a corner and resisting were beaten by him, as if they were beaten to death.
Everyone screamed and rushed out to counterattack. Compared with the retreat just now, which was vulnerable to a single blow, they were completely different.
Under the encirclement from the front and rear, Xie Cang's army was obviously overwhelmed and began to shrink its defense in the central area.
Xie Cang knew that he was ambushed, but he did not panic and immediately ordered the defense according to the plan.
The two most dangerous front lines, front and rear, were all carried by the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies. The remaining Dongzhou soldiers obeyed orders and assisted in support. .Ь.
Although there was resistance from Dongshan and Split Mountain, the battle to land on the island consumed a lot of troops. Of the 30,000 troops who landed on the island, less than 20,000 were able to fight.
As for this encirclement, the 10,000 Fuso naval forces in the outer waters suffered no losses, while the 20,000 pirates and Japanese pirates huddled on the inner islands only had about 10,000 capable of fighting.
In terms of military strength, they are beginning to be at a disadvantage. Although it is not very large at the moment, with continued consumption, they are likely to lose this battle.
Xie Cang's face was solemn and his eyes flashed. He listened to the report from his men, nodded, and issued orders one after another very calmly.
He looked at the fierce fighting on the inner island ahead, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made some kind of determination in his heart.
If the consumption continues to increase and the war becomes more and more unfavorable to him, he will give the last order. All soldiers will attack the inner island desperately, regardless of any casualties, and they will definitely capture the inner island.
Only by capturing the inner island can they rely on the terrain of the inner island to counterattack the Fuso Navy in the rear.
Compared with concentrating their forces to attack the rear naval forces and capture the inner islands, the survival of these land armies will be higher.
However, this order would only be issued as a last resort. Xie Cang still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the Dongzhou Navy would come to support him.
Xie Cang's thoughts, Yamashita Yong in the inner island looked at the stalemate battle situation in front of him, how could he not know.
In addition to ordering his men to strengthen the counterattack, he also sent a message to Xie Cang. Most of his so-called reinforcements were gone. Even if they could come, they would only be a mere thousand people. Instead of holding on to expectations, it was better to surrender voluntarily.
This is Yamashita Isamu's psychological offensive. Although he doesn't know how the battle between Toshu Navy and Sakai Jiro will go, according to his estimation, even if Sakai Jiro loses, and both naval forces have the same strength, even if Toshu Navy wins, it will not be the same. Just a miserable victory.
With such a tragic victory, how many people are left in the hand?
In order to be able to eat Xie Cang's island landing troops in one bite, Yamashita Yong endured for a long time and worked hard.
A huge price, this price is the annihilation of half of the Fuso Navy.
But as long as these 30,000 Dongzhou troops are eaten, everything will be worth it.
As time went by, the fierce battle between the two sides became more and more fierce. Yamashita Yong's eyes flashed. Just as he was preparing for the next move to further narrow the encirclement, Xie Cang's army was completely at the end of its war effort, and suddenly one of his men came to report. XiuShu.com
"The first boss is back, the second boss is back."
Yamashita Yong's eyes flashed, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. After a while, Liu Chuang's figure appeared. He stumbled and had some scars on his body and face.
Before Yamashita Isamu could speak, Liu Chuang hurriedly said, "Oh no, the eldest boss and the third boss have been killed. The Dongzhou Navy fleet that we blocked has been basically wiped out."
Yamashita Yong's face was solemn, he looked at Liu Chuang and said, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."
Liu Chuang calmed down his emotions and then said what he had prepared.
After hearing this, Yamashita Yong remained silent for a long time and sighed, "This may be the fate of the third master. I don't blame you for this. You tried your best. I didn't expect that Su Qian has such skills." It makes me look down on him. . "
"You can go down and rest first. Leave this matter to me. It's just a Yuezhou Navy force of 10,000 people. Even if they storm the island, the land army of 30,000 people will be the main force."
"Here's the order from the boss, take out all the family assets, gather them in one place, and blast me a hole. All the troops will join together and work together to break through them!"
After receiving the order, his subordinates were about to turn around and leave when suddenly, a cold feeling came from Yamashita Isamu's neck.
Yamashita Yong was startled, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Chuang holding a short knife and directly holding him hostage.
Not only that, even the guards around him were controlled by other subordinates.
"Liu San, are you crazy? What do you want to do?"
