Moreover, after losing a large number of soldiers, the defense of the entire castle tower was already stretched. Shimazu Yoshihiro even had to give up the defense of the last wall and shrink the remaining manpower into the castle tower. And he also understood that under the bombardment of artillery, it was only a matter of time before Tsurunomaru fell!
At this time, there was a cheerful atmosphere halfway up the mountain. The two of them and Guo Zhankui had arrived. They praised Huang Guojun fiercely and gave him all the tasks of besieging the castle tower. I just want to see if Huang Guojun can bring you any surprises?
But what is regrettable is that Huang Guojun also said that after the Japanese were fooled once, they would not be fooled again, and the rest could only be attacked step by step.
Although Guo Zhankui and Liu Ren were a little disappointed, they also knew that what he said was the truth, so they told him to let him go.
Next, Huang Guojun did not disappoint them. After he mobilized artillery to knock down the city wall, he continued to mobilize artillery to bombard the castle tower. At the same time, he ordered the fire cannon soldiers to shoot at the opponent. He completely suppressed the opponent's shooting with his numerical advantage and completely surrounded him. The castle tower.
Afterwards, Huang Guojun arranged for people to persuade him to surrender while organizing the attack, but was rejected without any surprise. So the battle started again.
The battle was boring and quite conventional. It consisted of using artillery to blast open the main gate of the castle tower, then using fire cannons to suppress the opponent's iron cannon ashigaru and archery team, and then the fire cannons with bayonets swarmed in from the main entrance. , relying on the number of people to clean rooms one by one.
After carefully observing the battle, Liu Haojia discussed with Guo Zhankui and Liu Ren and confirmed one thing, that is, there is indeed a need to add sword and shield soldiers.
Not to mention anything else, the Japanese building itself is not tall, and the castle tower is already a relatively spacious place. But the gun with a bayonet still failed to move! It is especially difficult to defend against attacks from the flanks. So the three people decided on the charter after a brief discussion.
After the battle, the statistics were made, and Liu Haojia also lamented that these Japanese were all stupid! All the defenders in the castle tower were killed, and no one surrendered! Shimazu Yoshihiro committed seppuku on the top floor of the castle tower, and the samurai who helped him to correct his mistake were subsequently shot to death! Even several of Shimazu Yoshihisa's wives and concubines all committed suicide!
Fortunately for Liu Haojia, however, the soldiers attacked quickly and cleared the basement first, preventing the Japanese from using the kerosene in the basement. Several other small flames were quickly extinguished by the soldiers without causing much damage. In the end, the real prisoners were all the maids and servants of the Shimazu family.
After listening to the report, Liu Haojia stood on the platform on the second floor of the castle tower and looked down at the plains and cities below, looking quite high-spirited!
Dayuan failed to successfully log in back then, but he did it himself! If he had an army of 100,000 and used this as a base, he might really be able to pacify the Japanese state.
After Liu Haojia sighed, he turned around, and behind him were already full of beaming officers and pirate leaders. He opened and closed the military equipment that captured Shimazu Yoshihiro, and then said with a smile: "Look at what I am doing, and go ahead and do whatever you have to do! Remember, you only have one day, and you must leave after the search is completed ! Otherwise, Shimazu Yoshihisa would have gathered an army to fight back!"
At this time, Liu Guangting glanced at the pirate leaders behind him. Seeing the expectation in their eyes, he stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, we are just merchants and common people here..."
Liu Haojia said: "We conquered this place, and everything above it belongs to us. You can do whatever you want with it!"
The pirate leaders behind Liu Guangting all looked happy after hearing this! A pirate leader stepped forward and said, "Master Marquis, what if there is resistance?"
Liu Haojia knew that he was not asking about the suppression, so he said without hesitation: "Kill the whole family!"
The pirates cheered loudly when they heard this and were about to go down immediately. Upon seeing this, Liu Haojia shouted loudly: "Stop first!"
The pirates were stunned for a moment and immediately stood still. Liu Guangting said: "Do you have any other instructions from the Marquis?"
Liu Haojia said: "You will inevitably cause some trouble when you go to rob. First drive everyone between the two walls of the castle tower, and then you send people to guard it. In this way, you will not move things again.
Someone resisted. Also, you are not allowed to interfere with all the Shimadzu family's treasury, especially those involving armaments. The Wu Yasu Army is responsible for handling them. "
The pirates nodded in agreement after hearing this. Seeing that they couldn't wait any longer, Liu Haojia waved for them to leave. Then he explained to the officers one more time and sent them out. The robbery of Kagoshima had officially begun!
In order to appreciate his masterpiece, Liu Haojia specially asked someone to move a chair and place it on the platform on the second floor of the castle tower. Then he made some tea and watched with pleasure the people below in action. Read the book
At this moment, he saw Li Wenliang and Zhang Zhiyong appearing downstairs, and directly arranged for his servants to let them in to fight. The two of them rushed to report, and even without asking, they knew that the Shimadzu family's navy had been repelled.
The two men came upstairs to report on the war. Just as Liu Haojia guessed, when the land war started, the Shimazu family's remaining naval forces attacked from the left and right sides, and were intercepted by the two of them and killed!
Although the Japanese were very brave in fighting, a battle overseas had broken their backbone, and they were already three times timid before the battle! In particular, the cruiser was very powerful, so just seeing the cruiser raising its sails and rushing towards them made the Japanese more timid!
Under such circumstances, they could not even use half of their fighting ability. So after the battle, many ships were lost and they had to retreat. Li Wenliang and Li Wenliang were not willing to let it go, so they repeated their old tricks and sent cruisers to violently attack the masts and sails of the opponent's ships, reducing their speed so that they could easily besiege them!
In particular, Zhang Zhiyong commanded his ship to rush past the side of the Japanese ship in an almost collision, breaking all the oars on one side of the Japanese warship! The warship with one oar missing was just spinning on the sea, and then the navy soldiers boarded the ship and fought to recapture it!
After a fight, the two men each sank and burned more than ten ships of the other party. Li Wenliang captured four Japanese ships, but Zhang Zhiyong captured seven of the Japanese's ships! At this point, all the Shimazu family's Anzha ships have been burned, and there are only a few Kanfune ships left as the backbone. They are all wiped out!
With Liu Haojia here, the Shimadzu family's naval forces will probably have a long way to go to restore their original structure! Especially since their territory was looted by Liu Haojia, they would be laughing if they could defend their hometown from being attacked by others. How could they care about the navy!
