"Ryukyu War?"

After the Qingzhou battalion, Niu Ben and other generals learned that the main island of Ryukyu was occupied by the Japanese invaders, they all looked excited. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Fei shouted: "Your Highness, what are you waiting for, we will attack Ryukyu, hehe, the last general can be idle in the past six months, and every day is training in addition to training." ”

"Without training day after day, how can this soldier win the battle, you kid is frizzy." Niu Ben glared at Lu Fei.

Touching his head, Lu Fei suddenly laughed.

Then he continued: "Your Highness, this Dutch may not be trusted, and the Ryukyus are a strange place to us, and we need to be cautious when going on an expedition. ”

"Well, this king thinks so too, so he is letting the secret guards spy on intelligence, if the Ryukyus are really occupied by the Japanese invaders, we must send troops to help the Dutch, after all, in this case, we will be the only ally of the Dutch in East Asia."

Luo Xin said: "Your Highness, whether it is the Dutch or the Wakos, as long as they stand in our way, we will kill them, the military workshop has just sent twenty-four field guns to the artillery battalion, and now we lack nothing." ”

"Twenty-four field guns?"

During the production of field artillery, Xiao Ming instructed Chen Qi to directly hand over these artillery pieces to the army, and it seems that the current artillery handover has ended.

"Twelve six-pounder light field guns, the rest are twelve-pounder siege guns." Luo Xin added.

Xiao Ming nodded, today's Qingzhou Army can be said to have basically completed the firearms equipment, and now the firearms equipment of the 20,000 Qingzhou Army has been perfected.

In addition to the field artillery just delivered, it is also equipped with the Huzun cannon, and the next task of the army is to continue to realize the firearms equipment and training in other states and counties.

"In that case, you have to be prepared now, unlike dealing with the barbarians, the Japanese on Ryukyu Island are all armed with arquebuses, and you are likely to experience a musket duel." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Your Highness, we can participate in the war at any time." Niu Ben and other generals stood up and said in unison.

After greeting the army, Xiao Ming went to take a look at the field guns sent by Chen Qi before leaving, these field guns are basically no different from the field guns of the Dutch, and these guns mounted on wheeled gun mounts can be dragged away by horses, which is very fast.

"Your Highness, now the number of chariots of the Qingzhou Army has reached six hundred, which is enough to support the march of thirty thousand people." Niu Ben said excitedly, in his opinion, the car formation is a sharp weapon against the barbarians.

With so many chariots, it was enough for them to build a fortress defense line on the grassland, and this was also Xiao Ming's defensive strategy against the barbarians.

"After receiving the Ryukyus, we will go deep into the grassland to establish the first fortress, which is called Ningzhou Fortress." Xiao Ming said that he decided not to be so passive in defense, but to build a series of connected fortresses to compress the space for the barbarians to live.

Because sometimes offense is the best defense, and it is the right way to keep the enemy outside the country, and now the barbarians are ready to move again, but he will not give the barbarians the same chance as last time in Jizhou.

In the hearts of the generals of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the barbarians are the biggest threat to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and this has never changed.

Receiving Xiao Ming's promise, Niu Ben smiled, the Qingzhou Army insisted on hard training, in order to one day be able to eliminate the threat from the north.

He talked to Niu Ben about giving priority to reforming the Youzhou and Dengzhou armies, and Xiao Ming returned to the palace.

On the third day, the intelligence of the secret guards arrived in Qingzhou, and Wang Xuan appeared in the palace for the first time.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid what the Dutch said is true, the Japanese attacked the Dutch, and the Dutch soldiers in the city of Geranza died more than 300 people, and now the Japanese occupy the fortress opposite, and there are constantly Japanese reinforcements to the fortress, it seems that they are preparing to take the city of Geranza together." Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.

After getting the news, Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, "This group of Dutch people is really cocooned and self-bound, but the country is a dog that can't be fed, and now that it has been bitten, it will be remembered for a long time in the future." ”

"Your Highness seems to be very happy about this?" Wang Xuan was a little puzzled.

Xiao Ming explained: "Actually, it's very simple, the Dutch have been trading with the Japanese state, and now the Japanese have attacked the Dutch, which will inevitably lead to the fact that the Dutch will not trust the Japanese state, so we will become the only trade object of the Dutch, do you think this is a good thing?" ”

"That's true." Wang Xuan woke up.

After pondering for a while, he said to Wang Xuan: "Continue to pay attention to the movements of the Ryukyus and the Wako, and report to this king at any time." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Sending Wang Xuan away, Xiao Ming officially ordered Niu Ben's soldiers to send to Dengzhou, preparing to attack Ryukyu, the coastal Japanese plague has always been a headache for the Great Yu State, since these people are Japanese invaders, his action this time can also be said to be a bandit.

After receiving Xiao Ming's order, Niu Ben assigned Lu Fei and Luo Xin to Xiao Ming, and asked the two to lead 10,000 troops to be responsible for the Ryukyu War.

Xiao Ming is still very satisfied with this arrangement, the two of them are among the best among the generals, for war, excellent generals can reduce the casualties of soldiers.

Rhodes is still waiting for Xiao Ming in Dengzhou, and after gathering the army, Xiao Ming led half of the Qingzhou Army to Dengzhou City.

On March 16, Xiao Ming arrived in Dengzhou City and also saw Rhodes, who was like ants on the ground in a hot pot.

"Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, please save our city of Geranza, now that we are allies, please give your help in this dangerous time." Rod said indignantly.

At this time, Rhodes was disheveled, haggard, with a hint of pleading in his expression, completely devoid of his original domineering, and they finally understood that they were very vulnerable in East Asia.

"Ambassador Rhodes, don't worry, this king has learned what happened, but I need you to tell us more details." In the contemporary world, the Dutch were driven out of the Ryukyus by Zheng Chenggong's 20,000 soldiers, which shows that thermal weapons are still powerless in the face of an enemy several times their size.

Now the Dutch naturally suffered the same thing, and the number of pirates was more than several times that of the Dutch garrison.

The Qingzhou army, dressed in neat military uniforms and carrying flintlock pistols, continued to enter the city, followed by field artillery drawn by horses, and such a powerful Qingzhou army made Rhodes gradually calm down.

At the same time, a hope rose in his heart, because in his opinion, although the current equipment of Qingzhou may not be able to compare with their army, it is superior to the equipment of the Japanese State.

And in terms of numbers, it is enough to fight the Japanese Invaders.

"First of all, 3,000 mercenaries attacked the castle of Geranza, and then 5,000 Japanese invaded the main island of Ryukyu from the sea and took control of the Michiralen Fortress. Rod said nervously.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned, "No, there are a lot of pirates, and this is only a small part. ”
