Under the persuasion of Yamato Village, Shimazu Kulie led the army to retreat temporarily, and now the Ming army is defending according to the danger, and there are muskets and artillery, and the combat power is strong, although he has a lot of troops, if he wants to take the fort, it is simply impossible, he can only increase unnecessary casualties, and now he can only wait for the arrival of reinforcements from his eldest brother.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the follow-up reinforcements of the Satsuma clan arrived on the north side of the artillery camp, and this time, Shimazu Mitsuhisa sent tens of thousands of troops to help the battery, and at the same time there was an artillery battalion, which came again with ten guns, although these guns were not heavy artillery like the red-coat artillery, and they were always better than nothing.

However, for Shimazu Kure, he is still not satisfied, for no other reason, now the Ming army occupies the fort, and the red-coated artillery on it is all the Ming army, and he besieges from the bottom of the mountain, without the support of a large number of artillery, so he forcibly attacks, which is a thankless thing.

"Kato Taka, what's the matter with you? Why did you bring only 10,000 troops? Why are there only two guns?? ”

The general who led the reinforcements was none other than Takashi Kato, a retainer of the Shimazu family, and a fierce general of the Shimazu family.

Kato Taka smiled bitterly: "Shimazu-kun, this is already good, now the Ming army that landed in Nagasaki and the forces of the Matsuura family have joined forces, and have begun to attack the Fukuoka Domain, in three days, most of the Fukuoka Domain has been captured, and even the Daimyo Kurota Tadashi of the Fukuoka Domain has been killed by the artillery of the Ming army, and now the Ming army's troops have crossed the Fukuoka Domain, and are approaching the Kumamoto Domain. The lord of Fan only sent 10,000 elites to the fertile domain to help in the battle, Kagoshima left 10,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were all sent here......"

Shimazu Hisaye's face turned dark, and he shouted: "Confused! You are all fools, now we have lost even the forts on the peninsula, Matsushita Yuanji's naval division was beaten by the Ming army, the Ming army occupied the forts, the artillery fire is sharp, not to mention 10,000 troops, even 30,000 troops attack, may not be able to take it, once the Ming army has gained a firm foothold on the Osumi Peninsula, our Satsuma Domain will be in danger, and they have reached the moment of life and death, what the fuck do you care about other people's lives and deaths? Is the Lord of Fan crazy? ”

Kato Eagle was stunned and said: "Lord Erfan, didn't you say that there are only more than 2,000 Ming troops on the fort, we are now in one place, with more than 10,000 troops, far superior to the Ming army, and there are artillery to help, even if the Ming army is powerful, it can't resist it, right?" ”

"Damn, you know shit!"

Shimazu Jiulie was angry and anxious, and shouted: "More than 2,000 troops, that was early in the morning, and now the Ming army has increased its troops again, and the troops stationed near the fort have exceeded 20,000!" There are even cavalry and artillery followers, our 10,000 troops, I'm afraid it's not enough to stuff people's teeth! ”

Forehead......

Taka Kato was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground!

More than 20,000 Ming troops!

You know, the former got the news that the 20,000 or 30,000 Ming troops would destroy the Fukuoka Domain in three days, even if the Satsuma Domain was the strongest, but in the face of 20,000 or 30,000 Ming troops, could it withstand it? If the joke is so easy to resist, then it is impossible for the Ming army to take the Fukuoka Domain in three days!

Now that the Ming army directly occupies the commanding heights, and with the help of artillery, the troops are stronger than the Satsuma Domain.

"Second, Lord Erfan, you're not joking, are you? More than 20,000 Ming troops? Still carrying muskets and artillery? ”

Taka Kato was about to cry.

"That's not all!"

Shimazu Kulie said in a dark voice: "There is still a fleet to the west of us, the combat power is still above the Satsuma Domain Naval Division of Matsushita Yuanji, although I don't know why this fleet did not attack us, but, no matter what, it is a huge threat, dozens of warships, thousands of guns, once the onslaught is launched, not to mention the Satsuma Domain Bay, even Edo Bay will not be able to stop the attack of others!" ”

Kato Ying was completely speechless, and said urgently: "Second Lord, then, what should we do now?" ”

"What should I do?"

Shimazu Kulie said angrily: "How do I know what to do? Beat? We have to be able to beat people, right? Even if you can't defeat your opponent, you must at least have the ability to protect yourself, right? Now that we have no advantage in weapons, troops, and geography, how can we fight? ”

"Then withdraw the troops? Stuck in Kagoshima? ”

Takashi Kato asked in a low voice.

Withdraw troops?

Shimazu Jiulie wanted to withdraw his troops, but the fort was occupied by others, and the opportunity was lost, and the Ming army on the fort even had a cavalry, and it was also dangerous to withdraw at this time, if the troops were not withdrawn, how long could they be supported here?

"Let me ask you, how long has it been since the army supporting the Kumamoto Domain has been set off?"

Shimazu asked Kurei.

"I set off at noon yesterday, and now it's been a day and a night, and if it's fast enough, I'm afraid I'm already in the fertile domain......"

"Entered the fertile domain?"

Shimazu Jiulie frowned, and shouted: "Immediately order someone to send a letter to the Lord of Fan on a fast horse, and ask him to transfer back the army by himself, now our own troops are not enough, where are the extra troops to support others, please send troops to help again!" I think we should have no big problem here for a day or two......"

Shimazu Kulie thinks to himself, relying on the current strength of more than 10,000 people, there are still 20 artillery pieces in his hands, what's the matter, support for two days, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, as long as the reinforcements sent by the lord in the back arrive, the force will not be weaker than the opponent, relying on the familiarity of the Osumi Peninsula to block, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory, not to mention that the shogunate's army should be almost there now, right?

"Hay, I'll do it!"

Kato Takashi agreed, and hurriedly ordered someone to go down to deliver the letter.

"And immediately go to the military port wharf, and order Matsushita Yuanji to send troops to support, and be sure to contain the Ming fleet at sea!"

Shimazu Kulie commanded, "Without the help of the Satsuma Domain's sailors, we are too passive!" ”

When Shimazu Hisashi was deploying defenses with Kato Taka, Qin Mufeng had already boarded the fort.

This time, Qin Mufeng brought all 20,000 troops ashore, and even all the artillery, forty flowering cannons were left at the bottom of the mountain.

"Holy shit, old Cha, I don't want to live anymore, don't bother the brothers! Is there a war like you? Obviously, you can overwhelm the territory with heavy troops and take the fort with decay, but you are good, you dare to attack other people's forts with a thousand people! Are you crazy? Amphibious camp, Lao Tzu's amphibious camp, a battle will make your dog's day to Lao Tzu scrap! ”
