"Be careful, don't stay alive!"

This unknown mountain road was full of corpses at this time, all of them were the corpses of Japanese soldiers. Fastest updates

A team of white dragon soldiers is sticking to the battlefield, mending the swords of the undead soldiers.

Just half an hour ago, the 6,000 Shimadsu soldiers who returned from Yueding Pass, as Li Zixiao had guessed, still took the nearest way back to Kagoshima Castle.

The result was obvious, they plunged headlong into the ambush circle set up by more than 20,000 White Dragon Army, and the battle went extremely smoothly.

The battle lasted only half an hour before it ended.

None of the 6,000 Shima Tsu family soldiers who were ambushed survived, and the casualties of the White Dragon Army were negligible.

On the morning of the 22nd, Li Zixiao re-led more than 20,000 White Dragon soldiers and returned to the camp in the north of Kagoshima City, and by the way, he also brought back more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers' heads.

"Zilong, you take people and put the heads of these Japanese soldiers outside Kagoshima Castle into a capital view."

Li Zixiao rode on his horse, looked at Kagoshima Castle in front of him, showed a cruel smile on his face, and commanded Zhao Zilong.

"Yes, Master Hou."

Zhao Zilong happily answered, and then led people away.

"Master Hou, you said, if the Japanese in the city saw these more than 6,000 Japanese heads, would they be scared to pee their pants and take the initiative to surrender!"

Du Tengfei rode on the side and said to Li Zixiao with a smile.

Li Zixiao smiled and didn't have time to speak, but Li Tianba next to him snorted coldly and said murderously: "Didn't Master Hou say it!"

This time, let's fight against the Japanese invaders, don't accept surrender, don't take prisoners, Du Tengfei, you forgot. ”

"Haha, Tianba is right, we don't accept surrender in this battle, don't take prisoners, just kill, kill until the Japanese are cold."

Li Zixiao also laughed and said.

"This ......, Master Hou, didn't you say that we want to include the Wa Kingdom in our ruling territory?

If we continue to kill like this, I am afraid that it will arouse the hatred of the entire Japanese people, which is not conducive to our control in the future! ”

Du Tengfei said worriedly.

"Tengfei, you don't understand, Ben Hou didn't say that he would continue to kill, but at this stage, we are fighting against the Japanese, just don't live.

Didn't Ben Hou tell you, the Japanese people are dogs, bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

As soon as we came, we had to beat them and kill them, so that the other would-be wouldn't be in awe of you, and only then would some of them take the initiative to join us in the future.

Therefore, in Benhou's plan, the first step for us to conquer the Wa Kingdom is to conquer Kyushu Island first.

During the occupation of Kyushu Island, we will not accept the surrender of any Japanese pirates, and we will kill our murderous reputation first.

Furthermore, only by uprooting these local Japanese vassal forces on Kyushu Island can we gain a firm foothold on Kyushu Island.

Otherwise, after Ben Hou leaves Kyushu Island and returns to the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that these local Japanese families will be secretly playing ghosts again. ”

Li Zixiao explained.

"Yes, Master Hou is wise."

Du Tengfei knew that Li Zixiao had made up his mind, and he didn't plan to continue to persuade him, so he had to say flatteringly.

At this time, Zhao Zilong had already led a team of white dragon soldiers, pulling several carts, which were full of the heads of Japanese soldiers, to the outside of Kagoshima City and set up a Beijing view.

"This ...... This ......"

The Japanese generals on the walls of Kagoshima looked at the Kyoto temple outside the castle with human heads, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak.

"Someone, go and report to the lord immediately, something is wrong!"

Eventually, one of the Shimazu generals looked at the people outside the city, looking angry, and then said to his subordinates.

After Shimazu Mitsuhisa received the news, he spit out a mouthful of blood directly in anger.

As long as Shimazu Mitsuhisa is not a fool, he also knows where the heads of those Japanese soldiers outside the city come from.

"Ming dog is cunning!"

Mitsuhisa Shimazu gritted his teeth and roared.

"Lord, what should we do now?"

The retainers of the Shimazu family were anxious like ants on a hot pot at this time, fidgeting, and asked Shimazu Mitsuhisa.

"What else can I do now, of course, I will fight with these Ming troops, and my Mosa Domain warriors will never surrender."

Shimazu Mitsuhisa had a ruthless look on his face and roared in a low voice.

"Hey, I'm willing to follow the lord to the death and fight Ming Gou to the end."

The retainers and generals of the Shimazu family around them all bowed down and shouted in unison.

It can be said that because of Shimazu Mitsuhisa's tough attitude at this time, it also made those Japanese retainers under his command look at death as if they were home, and they were ready to do their best.

"Okay, you go down, gather all the family servants in your house, and this time this domain will live and die with Tsurumaru Castle."

"Follow the lord and live and die with the city!" The retainers shouted in unison.

Immediately, these retainers and generals of the Shimazu family returned home one by one and gathered the servants of their houses.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa looked at his retainers, and after they all left, he shouted: "Takahashi-kun, come out!" ”

"My subordinates meet my lord."

Immediately, a young Japanese general came out from behind the screen, paid homage to Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and saluted.

"Go to the Houfu, take the lady and them with you, once the Ming army breaks the city, you have to escort them out of the city and escape."

Shimazu Mitsuhisa walked up to the Japanese general who was kneeling on one knee, his face was indifferent, and he spoke.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa himself is preparing to live and die with Kagoshima Castle, he doesn't plan to run for his life like Hosokawa Mitsusao, he is dead, and he will die in Kagoshima Castle.

Therefore, Shimazu Mitsuhisa arranged the back road of his wife and children in advance, and did not let his family follow him to the funeral.

Fortunately, because Li Zixiao led his troops to ambush the Japanese soldiers who came back from Yueding City in the past two days, the siege time was delayed for two days.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa took advantage of these two days to forcibly recruit more than 60,000 young men in Kagoshima Castle, and issued them weapons to assist the 3,000 Shimazu Japanese soldiers to defend the city.

Now, those retainers and generals under Shimazu Mitsuhisa have also summoned their servants to participate in the defense of the city, and the number of defenders will further increase.

At noon on the 22nd, Li Zixiao's entire army went into battle and prepared to storm Kagoshima Castle.

"Master Hou, let's start attacking, the soldiers can't wait."

Zhao Zilong and other soldiers of the White Dragon Army were gearing up one by one at this time, preparing to show their skills in the siege battle.

"Okay, the whole army obeys the order, today we will fight, capture the city in front of us, and destroy the Wakomosa Domain."

Li Zixiao shouted at the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, boosting morale.

"Go to war!"

Immediately, Li Zixiao waved his hand, and 30,000 White Dragon troops launched an artillery attack on Kagoshima Castle from the west and north.

On the eastern sea, the fleet warships led by Hong Sheng also burst into dense artillery fire, and one after another explosive bombs exploded into Kagoshima Castle in front.

Li Zixiao still used the old tactic, and when the 200 artillery bombarded Kagoshima Castle, the mortar artillery position also began to be erected.

At the same time, Zhao Zilong led 10,000 White Dragon soldiers to attack the city from the west gate, leaving only the south gate, and the White Dragon Army did not attack.

"Fire!"

Boom Boom!

The land artillery of the White Dragon Army, the artillery of the warships, and the mortar artillery from the north bombarded Kagoshima Castle on three sides, and the momentum was huge.

At this time, although Shimazu Mitsuhisa asked his generals to forcibly recruit more than 60,000 young people, plus those loyal retainers and generals, they armed their family slaves.

As a result, the number of soldiers defending the Kagoshima city wall at this time reached nearly 70,000, instead of the previous 3,000.

Peng Peng Peng!

One after another, explosive bombs fell on the city wall or exploded behind the city wall, and the shrapnel fired in all directions killed and injured many people, and there was no way to dodge.

"Ahhh

Those young men who were temporarily recruited, when had they seen such a scene, they were so frightened that they even lost the weapons issued to them.

"Yaga! Don't run around, hide behind the walls, you idiots! ”

An Shimazu family general shouted angrily as he looked at the large number of young men who were killed and injured by the explosion like headless flies.

Before the White Dragon Army attacked, these young men in the city were already in chaos.

"Hey! Can these people be counted on? We lost this battle. ”

Some of the generals looked at the panicked, frightened, shivering young men hiding in the corner, shook their heads with a sigh, and said.

"Yaga, Nakamura Kazuhide, there is no need to say such frustrating words, the Mosa Domain never admits defeat."

As a result, this general was immediately reprimanded by a general next to him.

"Hi. The subordinates are wrong. The general quickly admitted his mistake.

I have to say that the Shimazu family of the Mosa Domain is more bloody and paranoid than the Hosokawa family of the Kumamoto Domain.

Speaking of which, the character of these widows of the Shimazu family of the Mosa Domain is more similar to the little devils, and the Hosokawa family is a bit different.

The shelling of the White Dragon Army lasted for a whole hour, killing and killing many Japanese soldiers and young people in the city.

Before the White Dragon Army could attack, the young men in the city had already collapsed by the artillery bombardment, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa was helpless.

And at this hour, the Japanese soldiers and young men of the Shimazu Army on the side of the North City Gate were even more frightened, because this was the place where the White Dragon Army's mortar bombardment was carried out.

On the mortar position of the White Dragon Army, the cannonballs that were fired larger than a football fell on the wall of Kagoshima Castle, not only seriously damaging the city wall, but also causing great damage to the surrounding young and strong soldiers.

After the city wall was collapsed by the mortar of the White Dragon Army, most of the Japanese soldiers here were killed and wounded, and as for those young and strong, they had already been frightened and fled.

The general of the Shimazu family ordered to kill hundreds of young men who tried to escape in a row, so as to deter these young men.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the northern wall of Kagoshima Castle was bombarded by the mortar of the White Dragon Army, and two gaps of three or four meters wide appeared.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Seeing this scene, the White Dragon Army outside the city boiled and roared loudly.

The current White Dragon soldiers have already tasted the sweetness in this battle of conquest.

As long as the White Dragon soldiers who have survived until now have plundered several Wako cities, everyone can basically save hundreds of taels of silver.

Even those White Dragon soldiers who died in battle, Li Zixiao ordered their pensions to be increased by three times.

Because of this, at this time, these soldiers of the White Dragon Army, looking at the walls of Kagoshima Castle that had been bombarded, couldn't wait to kill them one by one.

"Don't worry, let the artillery continue to bombard, and then collapse a section of the city wall before attacking!"

Li Zixiao rode on the horse, said with a smile on his face.

Anyway, at this time, the Shimazu army in Kagoshima Castle seemed to him to be a turtle in an urn, and it was a matter of time before Kagoshima Castle was captured.

But the more you get to this time, the more you have to prevent the opponent's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and it is not good to increase casualties in vain.

If you collapse one more section of the city wall, it will be smoother for the White Dragon soldiers to attack it, and you can reduce a lot of casualties.

Thundered!

The shelling continued, but the soldiers and young men of the Shimazu army in the city were already numb.

"Baga, how many shells are there for these Ming dogs, and there is still no end."

The Japanese general of the Shimazu family couldn't help it and roared angrily.

Bang!

Soon, the northern wall of Kagoshima Castle, which had already been bombed and was full of cracks, was once again blown down, and three gaps appeared.

"Command, attack!"

Woooooo

As Li Zixiao gave the order for a general attack, a low horn sounded on the side of the White Dragon Army.

"Soldiers, rush!"

Zhao Zilong, Li Tianba and Du Tengfei, the three generals, immediately led the men and horses towards Kagoshima Castle.

"Baga, stand up, the enemy is attacking, hurry up, block behind the gap, don't let Ming Gou kill in."

In Kagoshima Castle, when an Shimazu clan general saw the White Dragon Sergeant outside the castle charge, he immediately stood up and kicked the young men around him who were lying on their stomachs with their heads in their hands, making them stand up and prepare for battle.

So, at the urging of the small number of Shimazu soldiers, many young men who were hiding around came out one after another.

With swords and spears in their trembling hands, they were driven behind the gap in the city wall, ready to defend against the white dragon soldiers who had come to kill them.

"Grenadier, bomb throwing!"

Thundered!

"Ahhh

"Foot soldiers charge, musketeers press back!"

The battle that follows is basically like replicating the battle of Kumamoto Castle.

The white dragon soldiers, after rushing to the five gaps in the city wall, threw iron-shelled mines directly into them, and then let the foot soldiers charge, and the musketeers followed and rushed in.

was blown up by the iron-shelled thunder, and the young men who were already frightened were immediately defeated.

There is no way, they were all ordinary people a day ago, and they were forcibly recruited by the Shimazu family, and in the face of the bombardment of the White Dragon Army, the iron-shelled thunder bombardment, it would be a god if they didn't collapse psychologically.

Not to mention these ordinary young and strong, even many Japanese soldiers in the Shimazu army have already had a nervous breakdown.

As a result, the White Dragon Army entered Kagoshima Castle more smoothly than when it attacked Kumamoto Castle.

At this time, Shimazu Mitsuhisa personally stood up and scattered in the city with his loyal Japanese generals, as well as the last group of Japanese soldiers, to carry out the final resistance.

The chaotic battle in the city began.

The battle in the city continued until midnight, when it ended.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa led more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, and was finally annihilated by the White Dragon Army, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa was killed in battle.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa arranged in advance, a group of Japanese soldiers to protect his family tried to escape through the southern gate at night, but also failed.

Those Shimazu family members were sent by Li Zixiao in advance and were caught by the White Dragon Army who were lying in ambush outside the southern city gate.

All the men of the Shimazu family, except for the female dependents, were executed, and a purge of the castle was underway.
