"Father, the child has done his best!"

From the moment he saw the actions of the Hongmen fleet and guessed the opponent's tactics, Shimazu Hisao had a premonition that his last hope had been disappointed, and he turned his head to look sadly in the direction of the ancestral land a few times, and then became more and more crazy to kill the Hongmen warriors in front.

"Bang dang!"

There are Satsuma warriors who can't resist the offensive of the Hongmen warriors, the weapons in their hands are soft, they fall low, and the whole person opens the door, and then they are killed on the ground by the Hongmen warriors who saw the opportunity, convulsions, and gradually return to calm.

From noon yesterday to noon today, the whole day and night of fighting, whether it was for the Hongmen soldiers or the Satsuma Wa sailor display frame, the body was already overwhelmed, and they were able to support it at this time, thanks to their determination and perseverance as an elite warrior.

However, after all, the Hongmen soldiers are more skilled, and when they have the advantage in numbers and know how to cooperate with each other, the physical strength they consume can naturally get a little rest time through coordinated operations.

In order to entangle the Hongmen sailors, they did not hesitate to launch a ferocious offensive, and now they can no longer hold on to the end of the crossbow.

"Bang dang! Bang dang! ”

Suddenly, some pirates threw away their weapons and knelt on the deck with their heads in their hands according to the standard surrender posture that had risen since Hongmen on the rivers and lakes, shouting loudly: "I surrender!" Surrendered! ”

The only highly-anticipated killing move was easily cracked by Hongmen, and most of the soldiers of the Satsuma Navy's division had lost the confidence to continue fighting. The warriors of Satsuma were no longer afraid of death, but when the authorities were irreversible, their desire to survive once again overcame their loyalty to Samosa, and they began to find ways to survive.

Compared with Li Jin and Shimazu Hisao, the middle and high-level generals of Satsuma, although the soldiers at the bottom have righteousness and know blood bravely, they have persisted in fighting until now, which is enough to repay Samosa's devotion to them.

For the Satsuma warriors who abandoned their weapons and surrendered on their knees, the Hongmen warriors did not continue to slaughter because they were red-eyed, but bypassed them and continued to hunt down those diehards who were still stubbornly resisting.

It wasn't until the last bald-topped Japanese who was still holding a weapon was knocked out of his hand by the Hongmen warriors that the battle that lasted more than 14 hours finally came to an end.

After all, Shimazu Hisao was not captured by the battle of the Hongmen fleet, let alone died on the battlefield as he wished, but was forced to cut the hook of a warship by Li Jin's henchmen, who rose up at the end and exhausted the last of his strength, and fled.

In order to cover the smooth escape of the warship carrying Shimazu Hisao, the last few suicide warships of Satsuma were also left in this sea area, and even Li Jin, who commanded the people to rob Shimazu Hisao, was cut down to the ground by the angry Hongmen soldiers because he had no time to retreat to the only escape ship, and he was dying.

"Clean up the battlefield!"

Lu Yu's face was calm, and he said unappresaded by the killing battlefield in front of him.

Half a day later, the news of the total destruction of the Satsuma Navy's division reached the ears of Shimazu Tadashi, who was angry before After hearing this bad news, Shimazu Tadashi was not angry at first time, but was silent with a gloomy face, and finally looked around at the generals and civil officials, looking at them.

"What do we do next, you say?"

Shimazu Tadashi was able to sit in his current position, and his ability was undoubted, and he thought that he would not be able to annihilate this group of foreign enemies on his own territory, but at least it would be no problem to defend them outside the country.

Tang Tang's five thousand sailors were brave, if he couldn't even destroy the fleet of only ten warships in the intelligence, then what use was he raising such a large army?

But in the end, the result of the battle gave Shimazu Tadashi a blow to the court, knocking himself into the eyes and directly extinguishing his own arrogance and raging anger.

What is the command ability of his son, Shimazu Tadashi has a number in his heart, maybe the actual combat ability of this naval division is a little worrying, but with his own son in command, he was almost completely annihilated by the other party, which is by no means explained by a light enemy.

Moreover, Shimazu Tadashi has a very deep vision, Satsuma Bo has been building a new sailor again for more than a year, and it turned into ashes in this battle, according to Shimazu Hisao's report, the Hongmen fleet was only injured flesh and skin, but the damage to the muscles and bones is not big, so Shimazu Tadashi as the Daimyo of Satsuma, the next thing to consider should not be just revenge, but to think about if Hongmen directly waved troops to invade the coast, then without the protection of the establishment of the Navy, how to resist the attack from the vast sea!!

Every military general who was watched by Shimazu Tadashi hung his head very low, and almost touched his head to the ground, not daring to face the gaze of the Shimazu family master at all.

"Rubbish!!"

Shimazu Tadashi's eyes were full of disdain and annoyance, and his cold and murderous eyes looked back and forth, until he saw an old man who stood up straight: "Elbow Jianjun, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"Your Highness, please forgive the old minister for saying bluntly, it is impossible to deal with the attack of Hongmen from the sea with the strength of my Samosa, so the old minister thinks that it is time to ask General Edo Tokugawa Hidetada for help!" Nyochiro, a veteran of the Satsuma and Tibetan dynasties, has always shown people for his loyalty and wisdom, but the advice he put forward at this time made Shimazu Tadashi's face pale, but it instantly returned to normal.

"Are you telling me to bow down to Edo?" Although Shimazu Tadashi's face looked calm, the generals and officials who were familiar with him knew that the calmer the Shimazu family head on the surface, the more frightening it became.

"Your Highness clearly sees that now that the Edo Tokugawa Shogun has been passed down for two generations, and his position has been consolidated, if we don't take this opportunity to show our goodwill to the Edo Shogun at this time, sooner or later the Shogun's side will also target us." In the face of the head of the family, who was calm on the surface but surging in his heart, he was not flustered or scared at all: "At this time, let's ask the shogun for help, if he doesn't care about us Samosa, but it also happens to let the other daimyo know that the shogun's so-called domination of the four seas, and the order is just a decoration; But if he really sent troops to aid our Samosa, to stop this strong enemy on the sea for my Samosa, and given that my Samoto is located in the southwestern border of Kyushu, can he really talk about the Edo shogun's hand and reach here? ”

In the small council room, Nyomi Ringoro carefully told Shimazu Tadashi about the good and bad of asking for help from the Edo shogunate.
