When it comes to Sagami country, it is estimated that most people don't know, but when it comes to the Japanese Kwantung Army, I believe most people have an impression, because when the Japanese invaded China in later generations, it was this army that occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, and its combat power was very strong.

Sagami Province is located on the Tokaido of the Wa Kingdom, that is, on the eastern coast of Honshu Island, and to the north of it is the Kai Province under the control of Takeda Genshin, this Takeda Genshin is a powerful character, a famous warlord during the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, known as the "Tiger of the Warring States", and some people even call it the first general of the Warring States.

To the west of Sagami Province is Suruga Province, and the guardian of Suruga Province is called Kanegawa Yoshimoto, who is also a powerful person, but not long ago it has been destroyed by Orishin Miko and Wang Nao's father and son, so now the territory of Suruga Province has been incorporated into Orishin Miko's Owari Province.

At present, the guardian of Sagami Province is called Hojo Clan, and it is the second generation of guardian daimyo of Sagami Province, and the county seat of Sagami Province is located in Odawara Castle, which is a seaside city that has been painstakingly managed by two generations, and Odawara Castle has become quite large.

On May 15, the fifth year of the reign of Kasei, in the lord's palace of Odawara Castle in Sagami Province, the lord Hojo clan held a meeting with his family members and all the generals under his command.

The Hojo clan is the younger brother of the head of the family, the Hojo clan, and at this time he said sarcastically: "It is said that as of the tenth day of the fifth month, only about 30% of the local guards have arrived in Kyoto, and Oda Hideyoshi insists on holding the emperor's enthronement ceremony as scheduled, which is really a big joke, and I can't help myself!" ”

"Oda Hideyoshi, a cheap woman who betrayed the country to seek glory, is willing to be a lackey of the Ming people, and it is estimated that the emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held as scheduled." Hojo said with a sneer.

The Hojo clan is the cousin of the head of the family, the Hojo clan, and the Hojo clan man who just spoke is called the "Hojo Twino", and is the left arm and right arm of the head of the family, the Hojo clan.

The Hojo clan said with a gloomy face: "Oda Hideyoshi should be killed, and the master of the skill will take his dog's life one day." ”

Hojo's man's eyes flashed, and he said mockingly: "Xu Jin asked all the local guards who received the invitation to rush to Kyoto before the tenth day of the fifth month, and now it is May 15th, and the guards who arrived in Kyoto are only thirty percent, but the Ming army has never made any movement, I think that Xu Jin is just a strong and middle-class person, and he is not to be afraid."

Big brother, why don't we unite with Takeda Genshin and Uesugi Kenshin, take advantage of Xu Jin's enthronement ceremony in Kyoto to participate in the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and the three families send troops to besiege Kyoto at the same time, and wipe out Oda Hideyoshi and Xu Jin in one fell swoop! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present couldn't help but be moved, because Takeda Genshin's Kai country was in the north of Sagami country, and Uesugi Kenshin's Nagao country was in the northwest of Kai country, and the three countries bordered each other in a line, encircling Owari country in a half-moon shape, and Kai country was not too far from Kyoto, and the cavalry could attack it in one day.

Therefore, if the three kingdoms unite to attack at the same time, Oda Hideyoshi (Orinobu Miko)'s Owari Province will definitely not be able to resist, and then Kai Kingdom will send another elite cavalry to Kyoto, and it is very likely that Xu Jin and Oda Hideyoshi will be killed.

Hojo Tsunade was resolute, and after discussing it with everyone, he felt that this plan was feasible, and immediately sent envoys to contact Takeda Genshin of Kai Province and Uesugi Kenshin of Nagao Province to discuss the plan.

After the envoy was dispatched, the Hojo clan and a group of family members and generals continued to discuss with great interest how to deal with the Ming army, and even how to divide up the equipment and supplies of the Ming army.

However, a loud bang completely woke up the sweet dreams of the Hojo clan and others, and the building in the corner of the castle lord's mansion was inexplicably collapsed, and the earth-shattering loud noise shook the ground a few times, and a large amount of dust fell from the roof of the lobby.

The Hojo clan and the generals were stunned and rushed out of the courtyard like a burning buttocks, and were shocked to find that a nearby building had completely collapsed, and the dust rushed up nearly ten meters high, and the cries and cries came one after another, and the servants rushed to the wolves.

The Hojo clan, the Hojo clan, and the Hojo clan all had miserable faces, and if the cannon hit the council hall just now, then I am afraid that they and others would be boiled.

"Lord Lord, it's not good, there are Ming warships on the sea!" A samurai rushed in to report it.

The Hojo clan's face was pale, and the Hojo man's face was like earth, and he just mocked Xu Jin for being strong and middle-class, but the Ming army was killed immediately, and this slap in the face came too quickly like a tornado...... Rumble!

There was another earth-shattering loud bang, and the Hojo clan and the others hurriedly hugged their heads and fell down, but this time the cannonball did not hit the lord's mansion, but hit a big tree outside the lord's mansion.

The Hojo clan and the others got up in disgrace and ran outside the lord's mansion in unison, because the Ming army was obviously aiming at the lord's mansion, and it was dangerous to stay here.

"Prepare for battle!" The Hojo clan and the Hojo clan shouted as they drew their swords and led a large group of samurai to the seaside fort.

The head of the family, the Hojo clan, climbed the turret to look out at the sea, but saw hundreds of warships on the sea in the distance sailing mightily, and all kinds of battle flags were waving in the wind, murderous!

Seeing this, the Hojo clan was drenched in cold sweat on his back, because in his eyes, the Ming army fleet was too powerful, with twenty main six-masted giant ships, and fifty three-masted Cangshan ships, in addition, there were countless kinds of clippers, sub-mother ships, centipede ships, etc.

As the so-called chickens eat light insects - they know it. He has a few catties and a few taels, and the Hojo clan clearly understands that compared with the Ming fleet in front of him, it is no different from the beggar army, which is simply not enough to stuff his teeth.

At the meeting just now, everyone was still ambitiously planning how to divide up their equipment and supplies after defeating the Ming army, and when they were really facing this suffocating naval division, the Hojo clan and others suddenly realized that they were ridiculously small.

However, the Hojo clan was also decisive, and immediately ordered to abandon the naval battle and concentrate his forces to shrink the defensive line, one line of defense was arranged on the shore to prevent the Ming army from landing, and the other line of defense was to defend the city.

At this time, the Ming fleet that appeared on the sea was the Shenji Battalion led by Wang Lin'er, and the elite of the 3,000 Beijing Battalion led by General Xie Sangun.

It is said that Xu Jin divided the Ming army into three routes, Wang Lin'er and Xie attacked Sagami and Jiafei with three guns, with a total of 10,000 troops; Feng Guoqing led his army around the north of Honshu Island to attack the Changwei Kingdom, with a total of 10,000 troops; Xu Jin himself led an army of 10,000 to attack the Nizi Kingdom.

At this time, Xie Sangun stood on the bow deck of the flagship, his lips pursed into a line, holding binoculars to observe the shore, and suddenly grinned: "The Hojo clan is still self-aware, completely gave up the sea dominance, contracted the front to defend with all his might, passed the order, pressed it at full speed, and opened up the firepower, fuck it!" ”

On the other side, on the flagship of the Shenji Battalion, the commander Wang Lin'er obviously had the same idea as Xie Sangun, and played a flag to inform this side.

"Hehe, sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, kill!" Xie San's gun ordered the flag to wave, and all the ships immediately puffed up their sails and rushed to the offshore.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery of the Japanese army on the shore was the first to fire, but the sporadic artillery fire tickled the Ming fleet, and the range was not good, and the shells fell into the water a hundred meters away from the fleet.

"Fire!"

After entering the firing range, the Ming fleet was in full swing, with 200 Franc machine guns and hundreds of earthen cannons roaring and spraying tongues of fire at the same time, and the overwhelming shells roared and fell to the coastal defense line of the Japanese army, blowing up people on their backs and turning flesh and blood.

After only three volleys, the defense line of the Japanese army on the shore was completely torn to pieces, and the fortifications were also full of holes, but the Japanese army was very tenacious, and still held on, using bows and arrows and rudimentary firearms, and even small stone throwers to fight back at the Ming army, which was orderly and showed extremely high combat quality.

Xie Sangun was not surprised by this, what does it mean to win a rabble? It's fun to overturn a well-trained army.

"Brothers, rush ashore with Ben and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to his wife and son, just today!" With a wave of his spear and long knife, Xie San's spear and long knife jumped onto a fast boat for landing, and he personally shook the paddle and rushed to the shore.

The power of example is endless, seeing that the main generals are desperately charging, the morale of the small soldiers is naturally greatly boosted, and everyone is not willing to lag behind, driving the clipper to follow behind and rush to kill - kill!!

The drums of war thundered, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!

On the battleship of the Shenji Battalion on the other side, Qianhu Lu Deshui pointed to the Beijing camp led by Xie Sanying, and said approvingly: "The future is terrifying, Xie Sangun, this kid is stunned, the Xie family really has no seeds!" ”

Wang Lin'er couldn't help but be secretly anxious when he saw Xie Sangun and a boat taking the lead, this is a handsome brother-in-law, if there are three longs and two shorts, it is not easy to explain to the handsome, so he immediately ordered to charge.

In an instant, hundreds of warships rushed to the shore like sharp arrows, the guns were like a shower, and grenades bloomed in the fortifications of the Japanese army!

The one-sided equipment was crushed, and the result of the battle was naturally without suspense, and in just half an hour, the Ming army completely occupied the defense line by the sea, and all the Japanese army was annihilated.

Xie San's guns did not stop, and he attacked Odawara Castle in one go, but unfortunately he was repulsed by the defenders at the head of the city after charging twice in a row, leaving behind dozens of brothers' corpses.

At this time, Xie Sangun finally calmed down, ordered to stop the siege and retreat, and then ran to Wang Lin'er to discuss how to break the city.

It is said that the reason why Xu Jin sent Wang Lin'er and Xie Sangun to attack Sagami was because Sagami and Jiafei were the strongest of the four warlords, and the firearms of the 3,000 Beijing battalion led by Shenji Battalion Ye and Xie Sangun were also the strongest in the Ming army.

Wang Lin'er is calm and old, and has rich combat experience, so he can take charge alone, Xu Jin is very relieved, although Xie Sangun is clever and brave, and he studied under Wang Shouren, but he lacks actual combat experience. Therefore, Xu Jin asked Xie Sangun to pair with Wang Lin'er, that is, to let the former learn from the latter, and only after the baptism of the battlefield can Xie Sangun, the milk tiger, really grow up.
