801 annihilated the main force of the coalition army

[Today's second chapter is presented, please subscribe!!] 】

"Kill!"

One by one, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army roared angrily, and fought fiercely with the Japanese soldiers of the Shimazu Army, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Tsuruta Masao was in a hurry to kill and rescue his main force, while Zhao Zilong had to resolutely block them and buy time for Luo Chao to annihilate the main force of the Shimazu army.

Both sides do not give in to each other, and the only way to kill each other is to use the knives and guns in their hands to kill each other, which is a life-and-death battle.

Poof!

A white dragon sergeant used the shield in his hand to block the continuous slashing of one of the Japanese soldiers, and then the spear in the other hand pierced out, piercing the chest of the tartar.

"Ahh

But then, the white dragon sergeant was also attacked by the Japanese soldiers next to him, first cutting off the arm holding the shield, letting out a scream, and then stabbing his body with a sharp Japanese sword.

This street and alley was quickly covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, although the number of people on Zhao Zilong's side was slightly more than that of Tsuruta Masao, but at this time he was at a disadvantage.

In fact, Zhao Zilong only has 1,000 elites of the White Dragon Army on his side, and the remaining 3,000 people are city defense troops, and the combat strength of these city defense soldiers is not as good as that of the White Dragon soldiers.

In addition, the 1,000 elite guards on Tsuruta Masao's side are all elite Japanese soldiers, and their swordsmanship is extremely skilled, and ordinary city defense soldiers are not defeated one-on-one.

Poof!

Zhao Zilong waved the long sword in his hand, shaved off the head of a Japanese soldier, and then quickly retreated, leaning against the two personal guards behind him, protecting each other's backs.

Zhao Zilong had already hung colors on his body, and the spear he originally used had long been missing, so he could only draw out his long sword to fight.

"General, these Japanese soldiers are so strong, our soldiers are invincible!"

A guard held a round shield in one hand and a blood-dripping hundred refining steel knife in the other, and the armor on his body was stained with red blood, and he said to Zhao Zilong a little panting.

Zhao Zilong also took the opportunity to rest, adjusted his breathing, and said: "This team of centaurs is indeed the elite of the Japanese soldiers, look over there!"

The general of the Japanese army on horseback, behind him was the handsome flag of the Shimazu family, and it seemed that the old devil Tsuruta Masao had come over in person. ”

As soon as Zhao Zilong finished speaking, there were new Japanese soldiers who rushed towards them, and those Japanese soldiers would not give Zhao Zilong a few people time to rest.

Poof!

Zhao Zilong and the two guards slaughtered the rushing Japanese soldiers again, and regrouped back to back to continue their conversation.

"General, is it really Masao Tsuruta's old devil? Shall we go over and kill him? ”

"Lao Tong, is your brain in the water, we are struggling to protect ourselves now, you still want to kill the past, is it because you don't die fast enough?"

The other guard next to him didn't talk much, and his personality was a little taciturn, but he couldn't help but complain at this time.

"I'm afraid of a ball! General, give me fifty brothers, and I will bring someone over and slaughter the old devil. ”

Tong Tian didn't care about his companion's complaints, his eyes stared at Tsuruta Masao in the distance, and there was a trace of excitement.

The three of them cooperated tacitly, and kept rushing to kill the Japanese soldiers on their side, killing them one by one, and continuing their conversation.

After Zhao Zilong heard the words of his personal guard Tong Tian, he laughed: "Haha, Tong Tian said well, I'm afraid of a ball, you order all fifty brothers, kill Ben General together, and slaughter that old devil." ”

"General, you can't go, just let me and Tong Tian go."

Ye He, another guard, disagreed.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, kill me, gather the brothers along the way to us, let's go kill that old devil."

Zhao Zilong seemed to be quite excited at this time, and he had already rushed out first.

"Haha, if we really slaughter this old devil, then we will do a great job.

In other words, why does Hou Ye call these Japanese people devils? I still don't understand it anyway. ”

"I don't understand, you go and ask Master Hou!"

"I ...... Can't! ”

Zhao Zilong took Tong Tian and Ye He to rush towards Tsuruta Masao's side, and kept killing one after another Japanese soldiers along the way, they were killing in their hands, but they were still talking on their lips.

As Zhao Zilong personally led the team to kill Tsuruta Masao, there were constantly white dragon soldiers joining behind them along the way, and soon more than thirty people gathered.

Soon, Zhao Zilong's White Dragon Army team was too conspicuous on the entire battlefield.

On the one hand, they killed too many Japanese soldiers, and on the other hand, because the direction they were heading in was straight for Tsuruta Masao.

"Yaga!"

Tsuruta Masao scolded angrily, of course he could see that Zhao Zilong and these people were obviously coming for him!

"Soldiers, kill me!"

Immediately, Tsuruta Masao did not flinch, and took the initiative to lead more than 20 Japanese soldiers behind him to rush towards Zhao Zilong.

Poof!

Tsuruta Masao held a Japanese sword in both hands, rushed forward, swung a long knife cut by the city defense sergeant, and then slashed the throat of the city defense sergeant.

After that, this small group of Japanese soldiers led by Tsuruta Masao was also like a bamboo, and killed many white dragon soldiers and city defense troops who were hindering them along the way.

As the general of the Mosa Domain, Tsuruta Masao is also extraordinary in martial arts, especially his sword skills, which are sharp and domineering, and he is definitely a great master.

"Kill!"

"Kill, give!"

Soon, the teams led by the two fought together, and Zhao Zilong and Tsuruta Masao both stared at each other.

They can all see that each other is the enemy's main general, and killing each other is enough to make the opponent's army feel disrupted, and the battle will be won.

While!

Without any nonsense, the two fought directly together, and the long sword and the sword collided together, causing a burst of sparks.

Around the two of them, the soldiers of both sides who followed behind them also red-eyed each other, rushing to kill each other, and someone was killed in the battle immediately, and the battle was even more tragic.

After Zhao Zilong and Tsuruta Masao fought, the two looked grim.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

The two of them tested each other, and let both sides know that the other party was not an ordinary soldier, but a very difficult character to deal with.

"Kill!"

Immediately the two fought fiercely together, the knife killed, the fight between the two was very exciting, the sword light and sword shadow, fell into a stalemate, and no one could help each other for a while.

Around them, the White Dragon Sergeants and the Japanese soldiers all consciously gave up a certain range, and no one dared to approach them.

None of them allowed the other party's soldiers to approach, and they all tried their best to stop the opponent's soldiers, so that the opponent's soldiers would not have the opportunity to sneak attack their own commander.

Sting!

The sharp knife technique brushed against Zhao Zilong's waist, cutting his armor a little.

If Zhao Zilong hadn't reacted in time and quickly dodged the past, this knife would probably have disemboweled.

The two sides regained their distance and stared at each other.

"Such a powerful knife technique, such vicious eyes, sharp attack, and the timing is just right.

The defense is even more dense and airtight, this person's knife skills are terrifying, and his combat experience is even more sophisticated, so he is a strong enemy. ”

Zhao Zilong's face was solemn, he looked down at the torn armor on his body, looked up at the front, and Tsuruta Masao, who was two heads shorter than him, muttered in his heart.

But then, Zhao Zilong sighed: "It's a pity that my spear was left over there, otherwise I would never lose to him." ”

Through this short period of fighting, Zhao Zilong felt that his martial arts were slightly stronger than Tsuruta Masao.

But it's a pity that at this time, his spear is not there, and he can only fight with a long sword, not only can he not kill the other party, but even fall behind.

Masters like them, after getting used to their own weapons, if they switch to other weapons to fight, their strength will be reduced.

Zhao Zilong used many tricks with a spear, but he couldn't use them at this time, which made him very helpless.

"It's okay, no matter what, today's head of you old devil, I, Zhao Zilong, are going to decide."

Zhao Zilong said in a resolute tone, and once again took the initiative to rush to Tsuruta Masao.

"Baga, Ming Dog is dead!"

The two fought fiercely together.

Just when Zhao Zilong was calculating Tsuruta Masao in his heart, this old devil was also calculating Zhao Zilong.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Tsuruta Masao in the battle threw out two flying knives and took Zhao Zilong directly.

"Not good."

Zhao Zilong screamed, turned over in a volley, and dodged a flying knife, but the other flying knife still pierced him.

Fortunately, the knife was not fatal, and it was jammed by the fine armor on his body.

Zhao Zilong knelt on one knee on the ground, his long sword on the ground, raised his head and looked coldly at Tsuruta Masao in front of him.

"Old devil, come and don't be rude, now it's my turn."

After speaking, Zhao Zilong quickly pulled out a short gun from the pouch tied to his calf, and pulled the trigger on Tsuruta Masao.

The short gun emitted a flash of flame, and a buckshot shot at Tsuruta Masao, much faster than the throwing knife he threw out.

"Ahh

Masao Tsuruta let out an exclamation and hurriedly dodged, but unfortunately his speed was still not fast enough.

Although he reacted quickly and avoided the point, the lead bullet still hit him in the right leg, and the sharp pain made him slow down.

"Old devil, you can die."

"No!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zilong rushed forward, and in the desperate eyes of Masao Tsuruda, the long sword swung down and cut off his head.

Zhao Zilong grabbed Tsuruta Masao's head and raised it high, and suddenly the soldiers of the White Dragon Army on the battlefield around him were boiling.

"The general won, kill!"

Zhao Zilong's victory greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the White Dragon Army around him.

On the other hand, on the side of the Japanese soldiers, they all panicked when they saw the beheaded head of Tsuruta Masao.

Many of these Japanese soldiers had been routed before, and if they hadn't been forcibly deterred by Tsuruta Masao and driven back to the battlefield, they would have run away a long time ago.

At this point, their will broke down again, and they turned and fled, this time with no one to gather them again.

"Kill!"

These Japanese soldiers were defeated, but the soldiers of the White Dragon Army chased after them and did not intend to let them go.

Zhao Zilong led the people to chase and kill until the gate of the city, and finally escaped from the Japanese soldiers outside Zuoye City, leaving less than 500 people, and all the rest were killed by them.

At this time, Zhao Zilong found that the soldiers on their side were also more than half, and a rough visual inspection showed that there were only about 2,000 people left, reduced by half.

"Go back and support the others."

Zhao Zilong immediately led people back to support the other White Dragon soldiers and horses, and the battle in the city was not over.

It's just that in the next battle, the outcome is basically obvious.

With the main force of the Shimazu army in the city and surrounded by Luo Chao, Zhao Zilong's side killed their main general, Tsuruta Masao, and the coalition army was undoubtedly defeated.

For the next half a day, the shouts of killing, gunfire, and explosions in Zuoye City continued to resound until the evening.

As the remnant sun set in the west, a whole day of fighting was finally over in Sano Castle.

At this time, the three streets in Sano Castle were all covered with corpses, and more than 20,000 Shimazu soldiers were buried here.

Blood stained the stone floor and walls red, and the blood on the ground flowed into a stream.

At this time, a team of white dragon sergeants was inspecting the battlefield.

"It's still the old rule, when you see a panting soldier, you can directly make up for it and leave no room for survival."

A white dragon army general ran across the battlefield littered with corpses, shouting loudly.

"Yes, General."

Many white dragon soldiers who searched the battlefield responded in unison.

Luo Chao stood in an attic, looking at the central battlefield two streets in front of him, and put down a big stone in his heart, they finally won this battle.

Of the more than 20,000 Shimazu soldiers who were surrounded here by Luo Chao, the last one did not escape, and all of them were left behind.

And the price paid by Luo Chao was not large, the dead and wounded White Dragon Army and the city defense soldiers were less than 3,000 people.

However, the consumption of ammunition and iron-clad mines was huge, and it was precisely by relying on these firearms to attack that their attack went smoothly and did not suffer much.

"What about the rest of the city?"

At this time, Luo Chao had the heart to inquire about the situation of other battlefields in the city.

"General Hui, General Zhao, General Du and General Yoshino all led troops in the city before, and fought fiercely against the remnants of the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Now that the battle in the city is basically over, in addition to the main force of the Shimazu army here, there are less than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, who are either killed in battle or have fled.

In the end, the number of Japanese soldiers who escaped from Zuoye City would not exceed 8,000.

As for the losses of our troops, several generals have not yet submitted them. ”

A general of the White Dragon Army behind Luo Chao said to him.

"Very good, I finally won, immediately send someone back to Saga Castle and report the victory to the Hou Ye."

Luo Chao said with a smile.

"Yes, General, my subordinates will do it."

Looking at his departing subordinates, Luo Chao whispered to himself again: "This battle has been won, and the main force of the coalition led by the Shimazu Domain has been destroyed by us."

In the end, less than 8,000 Japanese soldiers escaped, so there is no need to worry.

Besides, these 8,000 Japanese soldiers were routed, and they couldn't escape at all.

Mushan City, where they went south, had been captured by Peng Hao and Li Tianba at this time, leaving them with only destruction.

It's a pity that there were no Japanese soldiers from the Hosokawa family of the Kumamoto Domain who entered the city this time, and if they hadn't been cleaned up together, it would have been perfect. ”

As everyone knows, the 20,000 Japanese soldiers of the Hosokawa family, which Luo Chao was still talking about at this time, were hiding in a mountain forest less than thirty miles south of Zuoye City at this time.

Hosokawa Qinian had been waiting for the news of Tsuruta Masao's attack on Sano Castle, and did not continue to march towards Nagasaki.

On February 24, Hosokawa received a terrifying message from his spies.
