My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 78

Wu Shan's side achieved a perfect victory, and Zhu Gaoyu's side also advanced rapidly.

In order to disrupt the Japanese pirates' rear as soon as possible, the main force of the Japanese pirates will collapse.

After landing, Zhu Gaoyu handed over the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Hujiao Battalion to the second guard captain appointed by the Hujiao Battalion.

He led the cavalry and charged and killed all the way in front of the army.

With Zhu Gaoyu and the local cities and villages, the logistics were not considered at all.

Ferocious rush, invincible vertically and horizontally, what kills is blood flowing into rivers.

With such a ferocious attack, ordinary forces would probably be terrified of being killed long ago.

But the Satsuma clan is indeed a famous fan who dared to confront the British in its heyday.

After being caught off guard in the early stage, they gave up directly. The cities and villages occupied by the Ming army gathered the remaining warriors and peasants to prepare for desperate resistance.

The two sides met on a small plain, and after an initial exchange of hands, they each settled down, waiting for reinforcements from behind.

"Has the owner not contacted yet?"

In the camp of the Satsuma clan, Tencho Shimadzu frowned and looked at the camp of the Ming army on the opposite side, and asked the samurai behind him.

"The person sent out hasn't come back yet, but it's probably coming soon."

Tencho Shimadzu snorted coldly, and asked the samurai to urge him again, and then ignored him.

Shimadzu Jiufeng is the head of the family, and many people in the Shimadzu family are dissatisfied.

They felt that Shimadzu Jiufeng did not inherit the bravery of the Satsuma clan, and liked to play all kinds of small tricks and tricks, so he was not worthy of being the head of the brave Shimadzu family.

For this reason, many conflicts broke out within the family.

The disturbed and impatient Shimadzu Hisato directly gave up the idea of ​​peacefully taking over the family and chose to suppress it by force.

Just when those retainers were about to lose their hold, the arrival of the Ming army gave them a breather.

Their patriarch, Shimazu Jiufeng, didn't know what to think. He ignored the grievances with the Shibukawa family and chose to unite with him to fight against Daming.

Many people in the family secretly laughed at Shimadzu Hisakayoshi's choice, and even wished that he died in the battle with Ming Dynasty.

However, they did not receive the news of Shimadzu's death, but they first got the news that Ming had landed from the coast and attacked Satsuma.

The Ming army was extremely brutal. As rumored, half of the population of any village or city that resisted was killed.

Such a cruel behavior caused panic in many towns in the Satsuma domain, and they all begged the Shimadzu family to drive away or eliminate the Ming army criss-crossing the territory as soon as possible.

The Shimadzu family is also in chaos.

It's nothing more than the absence of the leading family, Shimazu Jiufeng, and the main samurai force of the feudal land was taken away.

This made Shimadzu Tenchang, who was ordered in danger, scold his mother angrily, cursing Shimadzu Jiufeng as a sinner of the family.

Although I can't wait to get Shimadzu Jiufeng skinned and cramp, but the enemy is right in front of me, it's useless to hate, so I can only bite the bullet.

As the temporary patriarch, Shimadzu Tencho called on all the samurai and men in the domain to stand up and defend their homeland.

The Satsuma clan deserves to be a powerful clan. In just three days, more than 5000 warriors were summoned.

Grasping a usable force, Shimadzu Tencho no longer hesitated, and immediately set off with his troops, vowing to destroy the Ming army raging in his territory.

He even thought about using the prestige of victory over Daming to force Shimadzu Jiufeng to abdicate and take the position of head of the Shimadzu family.

With the dream of becoming the head of the family, Tencho Shimadzu set off aggressively.

However, as soon as he came into contact with Daming, he was hit head-on.

The [-] cavalry he managed to get together were all killed by the Ming army in less than one round.

Shimadzu Tencho was taken aback.

Good guy, is the Ming army so fierce?

Worried that the Ming army would take advantage of the power of victory to attack their own formation, Tencho Shimadzu immediately stopped the troops and took a defensive position.

The cavalry of the Ming army patrolled around the periphery, and retreated when they saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of.

Shimadzu Tencho didn't dare to chase, so he ordered the troops to station on the spot and build defensive positions.

"My lord, the Ming army is here."

After observing on the ground for a while, Shimadzu Tencho, who had just returned to the tent and was about to rest, was pulled out hastily by the samurai under observation.

Arriving at the forward position, Tencho Shimadzu saw the Ming army camping on the opposite side at a glance.

"How many people are there, have you seen it clearly?"

The sky was getting dark, and the elderly Shimadzu Tencho couldn't tell how many people were on the opposite side. He could only vaguely see figures moving everywhere.

"According to the spies' report, there are no less than 5000 people, and there may even be more."

The samurai quickly reported the results of the investigation.

"Baga, there are so many enemies, why haven't we received any news."

"Isn't Daming known as the country of benevolence and righteousness? We have no conflicts with them, so how could they suddenly invade us?"

Hearing no fewer than 5000 people, Tencho Shimadzu couldn't help but curse.

Regarding his question, the samurai next to him looked helpless.

Even the Patriarch didn't know why Daming came, let alone a little warrior like him.

"Notify me, strengthen your guard. I have read Daming's art of war, and they like to sneak attack at night."

"Hey!"

Tencho Shimadzu thought too much.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't intend to sneak attack at night at all.

In addition to the location where the opponent is stationed, which is not suitable for sneak attacks, the main force of his troops is the Fifth Army Battalion.

Although the Fifth Army Battalion is an elite force of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of nutrition, it is still far behind the long-distance escort who have been at sea all year round and ate seafood.

Many soldiers have night blindness. After dark, they are not blind, but they can only see people clearly.

To sneak attack the enemy in this state, not to mention giving away a head, will not achieve any good results.

This is why Wu Shan dared to attack at night.

The soldiers of his first guard sailed at sea all year round, ate various sea fish, and nutritional supplements such as radishes, and not many suffered from night blindness.

"dong dong dong dong..."

The next day just after the light came out, the two camps followed one another, and the sound of assembly drums sounded.

Zhu Gaoyu rode a bloody BMW and led the soldiers who had adjusted their formation, out of the camp and came to the small plain.

Although the two parties did not discuss it, they both chose it tacitly, and this is the battlefield.

Facing a larger number of enemies than their own, the Ming army did not feel any pressure from Zhu Gaoyu to ordinary soldiers.

The situation of the two parties can be seen at a glance as long as the eyesight is normal.

Daming has a full range of weapons and armor, completely armed to the teeth.

And the pirates on the opposite side.

Except for a few who are equipped with armor, most of them are wearing civilian clothes.

Even many soldiers didn't even have weapons, and they came up with a sharpened bamboo hair.

With this kind of equipment configuration, let alone more than 1 people, even if there are [-] troops, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty will not even bat an eyelid.

"Amaterasu God bless!"

Seeing the Ming army lined up neatly and slowly approaching from the opposite side, many Japanese pirates secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that the Great God Amaterasu would show his might and bless them.

"General of Ming Dynasty, our lord wants to talk to you."

The two sides stopped a mile apart, quietly watching each other adjust their formation.

A Japanese warrior, holding a banner of negotiation, came to the front of the Ming army and conveyed Tencho Shimadzu's request for a talk.

Zhu Gaoyu was discussing the battle plan with his generals, and when he heard the pass from the translator, he didn't raise his head and said: "Not all cats and dogs can talk to me, tell them, either surrender or let Ashikaga Yoshichi come!"

A little pumpkin just wanted to talk to him, since when did he, the Prince of Ming, become so worthless.

"idiot!"

The samurai who came here on behalf of Tensho Shimadzu, after hearing the message from the interpreter, cursed in a low voice, glared at the Ming army lined up viciously, turned around and went back to report.

Shimadzu Tencho, who was provoked by his subordinates' embellished words, was furious when his request was rejected.

Seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side did not intend to take the initiative to attack, Tencho Shimazu raised a fan in his hand.

"Assault here!"

The Ming army can afford to wait, but he can't afford to wait.

If there was a delay, that bastard Shimadzu Jiufeng rushed back, and his chance of finally gaining military power would be gone.

Although there is a gap in equipment between the two sides, their own numbers have an advantage.

Tencho Shimadzu firmly believed that under his excellent command, victory in this battle would definitely belong to him.

"Onboard!"

Satsuma warriors have a habit of roaring loudly when they attack.

So much so that it was ridiculed that the output of Satsuma's army depended entirely on roaring.

Hearing the cries of ghosts and wolves on the opposite side, Zhu Gaoyu smiled disdainfully, nodded to the captain of the second guard of Hujiao Battalion, and led the cavalry to the rear of the army formation.

As the boss, he meddles in everything and doesn't give his subordinates a chance to show off. If he wants to become bigger and stronger, it's almost a dream.

After all, people are not machines, and there are always times when they are tired and make mistakes.

Because the boss commanded blindly, there are a lot of cases where he was defeated when he was clearly able to win.

In the future, when expanding overseas, it is impossible for Zhu Gaoyu to be present in every battle.

Zhu Gaoyu urgently needs to cultivate generals who can stand on their own, so as to open up the territory for his great cause in the future.

Wu Shan and the others are excellent seedlings, the only thing they lack is experience in commanding large-scale battles.

The country of Wa is the training ground for Zhu Gaoyu to hone the generals of Wu Shan.

"Let the artillery wait for my order before acting. The forward is ready to meet the enemy, and the left and right wings are spread out. Be alert to the enemy's flank attack!"

Sun An, Lieutenant of the Second Guard School of Hujiao Battalion, stood on the podium and issued combat orders without haste.

Sun An, who was born in the General Banner of the Fifth Military Battalion, was selected into Zheng He's fleet, followed Zheng He on two voyages to the West, made many meritorious deeds, and was promoted by Zheng He as a commander.

When Wang Jin poached Zheng He's corner, he didn't choose to join, and he still stayed in Zheng He's fleet.

It's not that he doesn't like the navy, but that he is grateful to Zheng He for his promotion, and he doesn't want to let Zheng He down and become that treacherous person.

He thought that after refusing, he would never have any contact with the navy again.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, His Majesty decreed that all the personnel and ships of the fleet should be transferred to the navy department.

Well, still didn't run away.

Sun An came to the Navy, Wang Jin was so happy.

The two people he valued the most are finally under his command.

At the beginning, Sun An refused, and he was a little regretful that such a good talent was missed.

But I didn't expect that in a few days, it fell into my own hands again.

In order to completely keep this talent in the navy, Wang Jin pulled Wu Shan, and the two persuaded Sun An for a long time before making up his mind to stay in the navy.

After Sun An arrived, he was temporarily appointed as the [-]th team of Qianhu.

In the subsequent assessments, Sun An has always been among the best. In the sand table simulation battle, he defeated three thousand-man teams with a thousand-man team many times.

Wu Shan also fought against him many times, and the result was more defeats than victories. One can imagine how strong his combat command ability is.

In other words, in terms of his own loyalty, he joined a little later, otherwise Wu Shan would not be able to take the position of the first captain of the Hujiao Camp.

"Onboard! Onboard!"

The charging Japanese pirates were getting closer and closer, Sun An squinted his eyes slightly, and slowly raised the command flag in his hand, waving his finger at the artillerymen.

When the troops charged by the Japanese pirates were less than [-] steps away from the Ming army, Sun An waved down the command flag in his hand.

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery on standby made a deafening roar.

Although the second guard of Hujiao Battalion is not complete, it is fully equipped in terms of artillery.

Sun An attaches great importance to artillery, and feels that this kind of weapon will definitely dominate the future battlefield.

For this reason, he also applied to Zhu Gaoyu to increase the number of artillery pieces from 25 to 30.

That is to say, this thing is too heavy to carry, otherwise he would like to expand it to fifty.

The sudden sound of cannons startled the charging Japanese pirates, and even some farmers and soldiers lay down on the ground in horror and howled loudly.

The sound of this thing is really too loud. The peasants and soldiers who came into contact with this thing for the first time thought it was God's wrath.

In fact, not only the Japanese pirates on the opposite side were taken aback, but the Ming army lined up to prepare for the battle also felt hairy when they heard the shells whizzing past their heads.

Zhankou General Cannon is really touching.

After launching, except for the targeted position, other places are dangerous areas.

Even the artillerymen themselves don't know whether this thing exploded in the barrel of the gun before it was fired, or fell into some ghostly place.

Because of the unreliability of this thing, the Ming army seldom let artillery assist when attacking.

I'm afraid that this thing will not hit the enemy, but will kill a large number of our own people instead.

But they didn't expect their captain to be a courageous person.

Not only did they fire during the battle, but they even let the shells fly over their own heads, hitting enemies not far away.

It would be a joke if some of these damns fell on their own heads without aiming at them.

Fortunately, it may be the Mazu who came with her, who slapped away all the ghosts and gods of the Wa country, and successfully blessed these children on the sea.

Except for a few shells that flew out of the target, most of them entered the group of Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates, who were already terrified by the sound of artillery, were stunned by the sudden attack.

The peasants and soldiers shouted in horror, this is the punishment of the gods, they threw away the weapons in their hands, turned around and fled.

"Ba Ga, don't run away, go back and fight!"

Shimadzu Tencho, who had been worried about this for a long time, arranged a supervisory team behind when he launched the attack.

But his worries came true after all. These damned peasants and soldiers, who hadn't even had contact with the Ming army, were scared away by a sound.

Looking at the fleeing peasants and soldiers, he was furious and shouted to stop them.

However, the number of warriors in the supervising team was small after all, so they stopped this one, but ran away from that one.

Some peasants and soldiers even didn't return to the main formation at all, and ran directly to the hillsides on both sides, intending to take advantage of the chaos and go home directly.

"Order: The artillery stops firing, the vanguard battalion moves forward, the cavalry don't care about the fleeing peasants and soldiers, and harass their main formation. Once the opportunity arises, attack the enemy's main formation directly without asking for instructions."

Looking at the enemy striker who hadn't come into contact with the defeated enemy, Sun An's mouth curled up into a smile, and he gave the next battle order.

As the orderlies and drummers conveyed the order, the artillery slowly stopped.

"attack!"

Qianhu, who was in the vanguard, waved his command flag forward, and the soldiers of the vanguard battalion pressed down on the Japanese pirate formation with neat steps.

Zhu Gaoyu, who led the cavalry on the side of the army, was looking for an opportunity to launch an attack.

The spear in his hand moved forward slightly, and the cavalry moved instantly.

The sweaty BMW was extremely fast, and Zhu Gaoyu took the lead, and soon approached the Japanese pirates' right wing within a hundred steps.

Seeing the Ming army cavalry coming, the Japanese pirates were very nervous, holding various weapons and watching nervously, the galloping Ming army cavalry.

A small number of archers also drew their bows and arrows, ready to attack at any time.

The distance is getting closer.

Hundred steps, eighty, seventy...

"drink!"

When the distance between the two sides was less than 60 steps, Zhu Gaoyu, who was at the front, raised his hand and took off his bow, drew out an arrow and drew the bow to the full moon, and let out a low shout.

Just listening to the sound of "嗖", the arrow flashed a hundred steps away like lightning in an instant.

"what!"

A scream resounded in the Japanese pirate formation, and some Japanese pirates looked subconsciously, their eyes widening instantly.

The officer in command of the right wing was shot to death by the Ming army.

"Master Yunzhong Taro is dead!"

I don't know who shouted, and more Japanese pirates looked back.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was about to pull his horse back, noticed this situation and stopped abruptly.

He didn't expect the fancy guy he shot to have such a big influence, causing the enemy's line to be a little confused.

How could Zhu Gaoyu give up such an opportunity, and whistled.

The cavalrymen, who were moving slowly behind him, accelerated sharply.

The distance of dozens of steps is just a blink of an eye to the running cavalry.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A dense volley of arrows shot out, and the Japanese pirates who were in the panic of the commander's death were caught off guard by the sudden rain of arrows.

Those archers who were about to fight back, because of the confusion of the surrounding people, the arrows they shot did not know where they flew.

Even if there were a few hits, they were bounced off by the armor of the Ming army.

"Baga, road, don't mess up!"

The experienced warrior was so angry that he cursed and shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the army.

But how could Zhu Gaoyu give them a chance to stabilize their formation.

After a round of arrow rain, while the opponent's formation was still in chaos, Zhu Gaoyu pointed a spear in his hand.

"kill."

Zhu Gaoyu has been washed away by golden fingers for many years, and his combat strength will never lose to those top famous generals.

Coupled with the blessing of sweaty and bloody BMWs, he slashed left and right among the Japanese pirates, and blood and broken arms flew all over the place wherever he went.

The general is the courage of the soldiers, Zhu Gaoyu is so brave, the cavalry behind him are full of morale, shouting loudly, followed Zhu Gaoyu closely, brandishing the weapons in his hand, crazily harvesting the heads of the Japanese pirates.

"Order, the left flank advances, cooperate with the cavalry to attack the enemy's right flank!"

"The Chinese army is pressing forward, and the whole army is ready to attack!"

On the podium, Sun An, who witnessed the entire battlefield, saw his own cavalry disrupting the enemy's right wing, seized the opportunity in an instant, and quickly arranged the next plan.

In fact, Zhu Gaoyu's status as a cavalry charge was the worst arrangement.

But Zhu Gaoyu's fighting power is too fierce, coupled with that bloody BMW, he is simply the God of War.

Sun An estimated that only Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, could compete with this Highness.

The cavalrymen of the Fifth Army Battalion were very proud at first.

Looking at the present, these guys all turned into licking dogs, looking at Zhu Gaoyu with god-like eyes.

He looked at Zhu Gaoyu who was rushing across the enemy army and heading straight for the enemy's coach.

With that invincible posture and unstoppable arrogance, Sun An was drooling secretly.

If it wasn't for Zhu Gaoyu being the master of his meal, his immediate boss, Sun An would have said: Boy, hang out with me, I'll make sure you eat well and drink spicy food.

As the left-wing troops launched an attack, the cavalry led by Zhu Gaoyu and the Japanese pirates' right wing, which had been messed up, could no longer bear the pressure and collapsed instantly.

As soon as the forward was defeated, the right wing collapsed in an instant, causing the morale of the Japanese pirates to drop again and again.

Sun An noticed that Zhu Gaoyu had already led the cavalry and was about to catch up with the opponent's coach, so he ordered decisively.

"The Chinese army is attacking!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With the sound of the Ming army's central army's horn, the Ming army's formation rang out.

The middle army of the Ming army, which had been on standby for a long time, launched the most ferocious attack on the Japanese pirates on the opposite side.

"Hey, is this the strength of the Japanese pirate commander? It's too weak, even worse than Wu Shan."

Seeing the Japanese pirates fleeing in embarrassment under the pursuit of the Ming army, Sun An shook his head happily, and took the tea handed over by the guards.

Humming a ditty, while sipping tea, he looked at his soldiers, and the mountains were full of captives and beheadings.
