Both for the Tiger Army and for the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Dutch were a volatile but crucial factor. Collection ~ top * point * book city book friends whole ~ Li Ti ~ for the strength of the Dutch on the sea, it is indeed too strong. If the Dutch vigorously fought on the battlefield, the strategic actions of the Tiger Army would definitely be threatened. This is also the reason why Zhang Zhun is very concerned about the movements of the Dutch.

"Still in Hiroshima. It is estimated that in the next two days, they will have to withdraw. ”

Chaffield said cautiously.

"Good!"

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

The landing force of the Tiger Army, which is attacking Hiroshima, is believed to have frightened the Dutch. They want to leave as soon as possible. If the Dutch can leave as soon as possible, Zhang Zhun is still more happy to see it. Pushing the visiting fleet of the Dutch out of the current battle situation was conducive to dealing a blow to the relationship between the Tokugawa shogunate and the Dutch.

The reason why the landing operation of the Tiger Ben Army was able to go so smoothly this time was, to a large extent, due to the behavior of the Dutch. Originally, the Tokugawa shogunate had high hopes for the Dutch, believing that as long as the Dutch fleet arrived, it would be impossible for the Tiger Army to launch a landing operation. As a result, the Tokugawa shogunate was on the coastline and did not deploy enough troops.

As a result, the Dutch fleet did not arrive, and the Tiger Army seized this opportunity and landed on the mainland of Japan. This was indeed a great blow to the Tokugawa shogunate. In their opinion, they were played by the Dutch, deceived by the Dutch. Even, it is not ruled out that the Dutch and the Tiger Ben Army joined forces to sing operas, deliberately making the Tokugawa shogunate look good.

In fact, it is true that the Dutch did not deliberately release the doves of the Tokugawa shogunate. The reason why they were not able to arrive "was entirely because of an accident ~ Bluffhead's fleet was defeated. However, "since the matter has happened, the Dutch themselves want to cover up their ugliness, and they have not announced it to the public." In this way, "the heart of the Tokugawa shogunate will naturally not be happy." In the future, even if the Dutch continue to come to Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate will be on the side, but I am afraid that they will have to fight xiaojiujiu.

Li Jicheng defeated the fleet of the Kazakh Dutch Bluffhead on the coast of Fujian, and the consequences were not only the merger of the Huben Navy with the Zheng fleet, but also deeply affected the war situation in Japan. Even, it affected the war situation in Nanyang.

After all, the Dutch had lost a fleet and provoked an adversary who had risen extremely quickly. This was an excellent opportunity for the Spaniards and Portuguese, who had enmity with the Dutch.

Will the main fleet of the Netherlands go north? When to go north? It's all something that takes time to consider. It is estimated that the Dutch, on their part, "did not expect that Bluffhead would be defeated." The defeat of Bluffhead completely knocked out their previous plan. Continuing to send a more powerful fleet north after the defeat at Bluffhead required a "collective decision" from the top brass of the Dutch East India Company.

What is certain is that it will take some time for the Dutch to make this decision. In view of the strength of the Tiger Army and the navy, and in view of the complexity of the war situation, the top management of the Dutch East India Company certainly did not dare to make rash decisions. The seventeen shareholders of the Dutch East India Company "waited until they received the relevant information and made the relevant decisions, at least half a year later." What the Tiger Army wants to fight for as much as possible "is this time."

As long as the main fleet of the Dutch arrives, the main force of the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate's army is completely defeated, and even if the Tokugawa shogunate has the help of the Dutch, it is already useless. At that time, in the name of the Imperial Family, the Tiger Army announced the dissolution of the Tokugawa Shogunate and announced that the power would be given to the Imperial Family, and the Dutch would have no excuse to hand over the Japanese Imperial Family.

Let's wait and see the future!

Returning from Iwami Ginzan, Jang Joon came directly to the Hiroshima front. He estimated that the reinforcements of the Tokugawa shogunate should have almost arrived. After all, this is the land of the "day" himself, and the time and place are all on the side of the "day" himself. In the same way, the second landing force of the Tiger Army should also be loaded at the port of Busan and ready to go out

time, both sides are scrambling for time. No matter which side of the reinforcements arrives first, it will have a great impact on the entire battle situation. Zhang Zhun was a little worried, Zhou Yanyu couldn't withstand the attack of the Japanese army. Once the Weizi battalion could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army, a large number of Japanese troops would press towards Xiaguan Port like chao water, causing great harm to the Huben army.

In order to prevent accidents, he had already ordered Zhang Lingyun's Pinzi battalion to quickly send reinforcements in the direction of Hiroshima. When necessary, Liu Dong will also lead the Marine Corps to reinforce him. The Third Fleet of the Tiger Army Navy also received an order to advance quickly towards Hiroshima. Zhang Zhun was going to attack Hiroshima from the sea and further threaten the rear of the Japanese army.

"My lord, Zhou Yanyu sent a battle report."

Wang Junyu came up to report.

"Got it."

Zhang Zhun nodded silently.

After the first contact battle, the Weizi battalion led by Zhou Yanyu fought with Abe Yuki's troops many times. The Tiger Army and the Japanese Army, west of Hiroshima, fought together. The Tiger Ben army relied on the muskets and constantly killed the Japanese army. The Japanese army relied on the large number of people and desperately blocked the attack of the Tiger Army. The gunfire never stopped from morning to night.

The battle report sent by Zhou Yanyu mentioned such a series of battles. Intermittently, the Tiger Army killed more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers and suffered dozens of casualties themselves. The casualty ratio was very optimistic, and the Tiger Army won a complete victory. However, it was also a bit difficult for the Tiger Army to attack Hiroshima. The Japanese army in Hiroshima built no military fortress and no artillery. With the strength of the Weizi battalion, it was very difficult to gnaw down Hiroshima. Therefore, the front has been glued.

Such an outcome is to be expected. It was inevitable that the main forces of the Tiger Army and the Japanese shogunate army would come into contact for the first time in a field battle and test each other. After the temptation, it's the real thing. Whether it is the Tiger Army or the Japanese army, I believe that the understanding of the other party has been raised to a new level.

Previously, Abe Yuki temporarily withdrew, presumably waiting for follow-up reinforcements. In fact, isn't the Tiger Army waiting for a follow-up force? Let's see whose follow-up troops arrive first. As soon as reinforcements arrived, the big war was about to begin.

A week later, the second echelon of the Tiger Army came ashore.

After getting off the ship, the Yùzi Battalion, Zhenzi Battalion, Xinzi Battalion and other troops of the Tiger Army Army all rushed to the direction of Zhou Yanyu and quickly reinforced. Li Yang's artillery battalion also drove to the forefront. Before again, Zhang Lingyun's Pinzi battalion had already taken the lead in reinforcing the front line. A team of Méng Ancient Thousand Men led by Hasqiqige also appeared on the battlefield.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Japanese army had also reached the vicinity of Hiroshima. The Japanese reinforcements that arrived were not the Jīng Rui of Masatoshi Chiefizaki, but the Japanese troops transferred from Misaku, Inaba, Tajima, Harima, Bizen, Naka, and Bigo around Heiankyo. Due to the fact that they were not far from the battlefield, these Japanese troops quickly arrived on the battlefield.

The combat effectiveness of these Japanese troops is average, but the number is indeed quite large, with 30,000 or 40,000 people. A considerable number of them were recruited on the improvised, and they only had rudimentary weapons. For the Tokugawa shogunate, they were pure cannon fodder. After Abe integrated these armies, the number of Japanese troops increased to nearly 50,000.

On the side of the Tiger Army, there are only about 10,000 people. The ratio of troops is about one to five. However, the Tiger Army still attacked Hiroshima strongly. Yuki Abe chose to defend the city simply at noon, but put on a posture of battle outside the city. The first major battle after the landing of the Tiger Ben Army is about to begin.

Looking through the clairvoyant mirror, the number of Japanese troops is indeed very large. What they put out is still the Spanish phalanx. Dozens of large phalanxes, overlapping each other, the scene is indeed very spectacular. On the side of the Tiger Army, in fact, it is also a Spanish phalanx, but there are no spearmen. It's just that the number of phalanxes is less, and the momentum is not so magnificent.

On either side of the Tiger Ben army, there were also a thousand méng ancient cavalry. Similarly, on the flanks of the Japanese army, there were hundreds of Japanese cavalry. They were all staring ahead with sharp eyes. Obviously, once the battle begins, they will definitely be the first to come into contact.

"Zhang Zhun!" , In the ranks of the Japanese army, someone recognized Yu Zhang Zhun.

Abe Yuki hurriedly raised the clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed Zhang Zhun's movements. That's right, he did find Zhang Zhun in the clairvoyant mirror very quickly. Zhang Zhun rode a tall horse with a white sè and stood behind the team of the Tiger Ben Army. Where he stood, there might be a xiaoxiao dirt slope, which made him seem a little erect.

For Zhang Zhun and Abe Yuki in the past few days, he really knows too much. It seemed that overnight, this person appeared in the eyes of the Shogun's intelligence department. Everything about him is poured down like sea water on the commander of every army. It took two nights for Abe Yuki to finish reading all of Zhang Zhun's information.

Abe Yuki couldn't understand how Zhang Zhun could have achieved such an achievement today if he was only from a poor military family in the Ming Kingdom according to the information mentioned. He couldn't figure it out. How could a person who was once considered a dumbfounded person suddenly become so powerful. However, whether he figured it out or not, Zhang Zhun had already led his army to stand on the land of Japan.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Yuki Abe swore secretly in his heart.

"Fire!"

"Shè hit!"

Yuki Abe did not hesitate to give money, "Tom tom spit!" ”

"Spit tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Japanese artillery began to shè fire.

The guns they use are basically old-fashioned Franc machine guns, with a caliber of about Tian millimeters. Due to the large number of them, about a hundred mén, the sound is still very scary when Qi shè.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

The field artillery of the Tiger Ben Army also began to bombard.

One by one, the shells whistled towards the Japanese artillery positions.
