Chapter 153: The Battle of Kagoshima

9days ago Wuxia Novels 12
After the Dragon led the Invincible Armada of the Celestial Empire to carry out endless disruption and invasion along the coast of Japan, Japan was deeply affected. Of course, it was not without the so-called Daming dispatched maritime troops to encircle and suppress the Invincible Armada. However, how could the weak sailboats of the Japan-like country withstand the powerful firepower of the Invincible Armada? No matter how many of them came, they were just sacrifices to the dragon cannon.

The spread of Japan on land was also very fast. There was a news that such a team of magic ships were cruising along the coastline and burning and killing, and it was spreading all the way like the wind. The quick-reacting guy immediately evacuated the residents of the coast and valuable goods, which made the invincible fleet of the Celestial Empire lose a lot of results. Facing the unmanned villages and ports, even if he had a few shots, Long Yi felt that he wasting shells!

However, Long Yi would not do anything to go deep into the hinterland to burn, kill, loot. After all, no matter how powerful the crossbow gun is, it is not immune to the pursuit of thousands of troops. The hinterland is not as good as the coastal area. If one is wrong, you can immediately escape to the ship and then use a giant ship to bombard a few cannons.

Although the harvest decreased sharply, the feat of burning and killing around Japan for a week was still completed vigorously. Half a month later, when the Tianlong led the Invincible Fleet to Nagasaki Harbour, the Invincible Fleet had few shells. However, the fleet was loaded with the spoils of this trip. Just the top female slaves were as high as 1,000, and the remaining gold, silver and treasures were countless. The road burned up more than 500 villages and bombed more than 50 ports and towns. The Celestial Sailors were only twelve. The results of such a battle were abundant.

If the Celestial Empire fleet that had not been set out from the Celestial Empire to support had arrived, Long Yi would not have planned to go to Nagasaki Port. After learning that General Liu had led all the Celestial Empire naval ships collected from the Celestial Empire coast to arrive in Nagasaki, Long Yi commanded the Invincible Fleet and landed in Nagasaki Port.

General Liu organized 50 new giant ships, more than 300 medium-sized old ships, 100,000 naval divisions, 120,000 cavalry, 50,000 archers, 100,000 infantry, and 30,000 logistics supplies from the Celestial Dynasty. This made Long Yi inexplicably excited. Unexpectedly, he had such ability and formed a huge navy team in less than a month!

When the Dragon Wing's Invincible Armada arrived at Nagasaki, General Liu's army had already turned it into the territory of the Celestial Empire, and hundreds of thousands of troops had turned Nagasaki into the camp of the Celestial Empire.

After Long Yi arrived, General Liu immediately came to report on his situation in commanding the three armies. Although the 400,000 troops were temporarily formed, they were all elite troops trained before, and even more than half of the soldiers were warriors who participated in the fight against Japanese pirates on the coast of the Celestial Empire. They were proficient in tactics of dealing with Japanese pirates, and they had hatred with Japanese pirates. What was even more terrifying was that there were a steady stream of warships behind them to transport soldiers. According to the final calculation, more than one million troops would land in Japan for combat, which basically met the requirement of Long Yi to destroy Japan!

According to the information that the Celestial Empire has on Japan, the population of Japan is only eight million. Due to the long-term war, the people and soldiers of Japan often cannot eat food. The farmers in Japan only eat two meals of rice a year, and the rest of the time can only eat rice bran or corn bark. Those who are near the sea can only eat a little fish. Long-term malnutrition has caused the dwarf and deterioration of the Japanese race, and the average height of the entire Japan is only four feet tall.

You should know that in the Celestial Empire, I was embarrassed to call a man without being seven feet tall, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was even shorter than three feet. Women in Japan were a little taller than men. Long Yi felt that the existence of Japanese men in the world was simply an insult to God, so he slapped the table and stood up: Eight million Japanese people, five million were women and children, one million were children, and only two million were left. Now our Celestial Expeditionary Force has millions. General Liu, I will give you a task to kill all Japanese men. I want to destroy the Japanese!

I am obeying the imperial edict!General Liu said passionately: Emperor, after killing all Japanese men, what should I do... what should I do with Japanese women?

Long Yi said: Of course, it is to have children with men from the Celestial Empire!After killing the Japanese men, Japan will become the province of the Celestial Empire. I want to immigrate to the Celestial Empire. All the Celestial Empires who are willing to come will enjoy tax exemption and can all receive three women as wives and concubines in Japan!

General Liu said excitedly: Emperor, with your order, I will definitely be able to kill all the Japanese men!

Liu Aiqing, you are my brother who has been through life and death with me. I trust you very much!

Long Yi said slowly: This time I really want to land and fight with you, but the Empress Dowager and others resisted, so you are the only one who will go on my behalf to kill the enemy. I am waiting for your good news on the Tianlong!

General Liu stood up and nodded, posing and said: Master, don’t worry!I will definitely capture the leader of the Japanese state for you, and I will not let anyone go of the so-called famous people!

And those beautiful women!Long Yi added.

Yes, I will definitely capture all these women for the emperor!General Liu said.

Ha ha!very good!

Long Yi said happily: To avoid too much unnecessary damage, I suggest you use the Dragon Cannon to attack the city and open the way, then shoot with the crossbow gun team, and then archers, cavalry, and infantry to come on the field!

Yes, I will definitely live up to my mission!General Liu said excitedly.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, seven days have passed. The Dragon-winged Tianlong is anchored in Kagoshima Port. This has become the frontier position for the Celestial Empire to attack Japan. Hundreds of thousands of Celestial Empire soldiers and civilians are coming continuously through the sea. Many Celestial Empire fishermen know that the Celestial Empire is in Japan and participate in the war. The weather has improved. It seems that it is already early spring.

Under General Liu's leadership, the Celestial Army was moving forward in an orderly manner. On that day, in the middle of the night, the entire Kagoshima Port suddenly became boiling and a mess was in chaos.

Long Yi suddenly woke up, and his mother Li Zixi, Long Shiyun and the others were still lying beside him. These days, Long Yi is the spring scenery every night, and he enjoys it every day!

What's the situation!

When Long Yi was about to get up, Fei Qingluan had already arrived in front of Long Yi. Long Yi quickly moved to the deck of the ship and suddenly saw a ray of fire in Kagoshima Harbor, the sound of cannons roared and thundered, and the sound of crossbows and muskets were heard.

Fei Qingluan rushed to Long Yi with her female guards and dozens of musketeers, and said with great enthusiasm: Master, the voice is coming from the inland. It seems that Japanese pirates sneak attacked our Kagoshima Port. General Lin really led the troops to resist!

What, can Japanese pirates resist?And they are fighting back at the camp ahead of me?What did General Liu eat?Hasn’t the large army already advanced to the hinterland of Japan?Why are there still Japanese pirates organizing forces to attack us?

Long Yi said in surprise.

This concubine is not very clear about the battle reports I have received these days. It seems that General Liu is advancing slowly, only more than a hundred miles a day!Fei Qingluan whispered.

Long Yi said angrily: In those seven days, the large army can advance seven or eight hundred miles, how could there be an enemy counterattack?How many defenders are there in Kagoshima and how many enemy troops have made meritorious efforts?

Fei Qingluan said: The defenders are less than 10,000. If the immigrants are added, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people. As for the enemy's attack, there are no less than 30,000 people. If the enemy reinforcements are added, there are estimated to be more than 50,000 people!

It's unreasonable!Long Yi said angrily: When someone comes, immediately send the weapon to the young and strong men on Kagoshima, and let them follow me to the front to kill the enemy!

The emperor...must not...

Yu Linglong said anxiously: As long as we can survive the night, our artillery fire will see the enemy's target the next day, and we can concentrate the invincible fleet of the dragon cannon to bombard the enemy!

Long Yi said: I am afraid that Lin Jiancheng City will not support the sunrise tomorrow. Do you want to watch the Celestial people in Kagoshima Port be massacred by Japanese pirates?Go, immediately release the weapons and let the people follow me to kill the Japanese pirates. Concubine Qing, do you still think that the Japanese pirates will hurt me?As long as I go to the battlefield in person, I will surely boost morale and kill the Japanese pirates without leaving any armor!

Fei Qingluan nodded and said: Then I will prepare now!

Yufeng immediately organized crossbow and gun soldiers.Long Yi said seriously: Follow me and kill the enemy.

Li Yufeng's face was full of excitement: Yes, the emperor.

As he said that, he turned around and shouted loudly: Sisters, today we will follow the emperor to the front line to kill the Japanese pirates, and everyone will rush out with me.

Hundreds of former female guards surrounded Long Yi in the middle, while Fei Qingluan organized the people and soon formed a team of 10,000 people to break towards the east gate of Kagoshima Port.

Boom boom boom... After several loud noises, a fire came from the east gate, and the roar of the warriors resounded in his ears.

The Celestial Army guarding the city used artillery fire and muskets to kill the enemy. The Japanese pirates were about to break through the city wall, but unexpectedly they suddenly encountered Long Yi leading the crossbow gun team. The Japanese pirates rushed up just hit the muzzle of Long Yi leading the crossbow gun team. They were full of anger and would not be polite to the enemy. They kept roaring and let the musket soldiers fight fiercely.

The battle situation was in the middle of the night and entered a white-hot state. In every breath, someone died. After nearly an hour of impact, the Japanese pirates were repelled one after another.

At this time, Zhang Cheng rode a dark horse and rushed to Long Yi quickly, rolled over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of Long Yi and said: "My minister Zhang Cheng is late to save the car, so please punish the emperor for his death."

Okay, Zhang Cheng, you and Lin Jiancheng did a good job. Ten thousand people actually resisted the attack of 50,000 Japanese pirates. Not bad!

Long Yi laughed and patted his shoulder. At this time, Zhang Cheng was covered in blood and had several wounds all over his body.

Long Yi then said: Let's go, kill the enemy with me.

Lin Jiancheng said: Emperor, the Japanese pirates have retreated. General Lin said that in order to prevent the enemy from cheating, we will still stick to the city wall. When General Xu's army rushes back tomorrow, he will attack the Japanese pirates inside and outside!

No, let General Lin lead 10,000 soldiers to protect Kagoshima, I will go and kill the Japanese pirates in person!Long Yi insisted.

Your Majesty, no!

At this time, Zhang Cheng could not stop Long Yi at all. Seeing Long Yi boarding the horse, he could only follow him and yell: Master, let Weichen enlighten the way.

As he said that, he picked up a spear and rushed out with a fierce look.

Long Yi also asked the soldier for a crossbow gun and a spear, and shouted loudly: Bastard, I am also a dignified man, and there is no reason to be so cowardly that I will hide in the wall at this time.

As he said that, Long Yi held a crossbow gun in his left hand and placed the spear on the inside of his thigh with his right hand. He clamped his legs and ran forward: Those who blocked me will die.

Although the guards in front of the imperial court were shocked by Long Yi's behavior, they were encouraged by Long Yi's words and became warlike. They snatched the horse crossbow guns and rode their horses closely behind Long Yi.

Bang bang.

The crossbow gun shot in succession, and Longyi killed two Japanese pirates who tried to stop him, and ran towards the city gate. After the crossbow guns were shot in succession, there were no bullets. Longyi broke the crossbow gun, held the spear, and ran quickly.

As soon as he rushed to the city gate, a team of Japanese pirates in black armor suddenly emerged from the pirate. Long Yi was shocked and saw that the opponent's armor was very good. He probably was the leader of the Japanese pirates or the vanguard general, so he felt very happy. Capture the thief first!

When Long Yi saw that guy, he couldn't help but be evil and clamped the war horse tightly with his legs.He said loudly: Who is the thief? I will not kill the nameless person.

I am Toyotomi Hideji of Toyotomi family. Who are you?

The other party turned out to be Toyotomi Hideyoshi's adopted son Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is the number one strong general under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Long Yi thought, is this Toyotomi Hideyoshi still have a trick?

He actually knows how to sneak attack on my base camp.

Remember it for me, and when you go down to see King Yama, tell him that the person who killed you is the Emperor of the Celestial Empire!Long Yi said.

Are you the emperor of the Celestial Empire?

Toyotomi Hideji was also shocked, afraid that he did not expect that the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty would dare to rush to the front line by himself. Just in that shocking view, Longyi had already led the imperial guards to rush to him. Longyi's war horse jumped high, and when he was descending from a high place, Longyi stabbed a spear hard.

when.A heavy sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and Toyotomi Hideji's hastily spear blocked the dragon wing with a spear, but he almost couldn't hold the gun.

Two horses passed by, Long Yi turned around and said coldly: If you are shot by me three times, I guarantee that your wife in Japan will be fair in the future.

Bah, you are looking for death.Toyotomi Hideji was furious when he was provoked by Long Yi. He wanted to retreat, but now he took the initiative to ride a horse to meet him.

Long Yi rushed forward with a spear and pointed his heart at Toyotomi Hideji. However, Toyotomi Hideji could hardly react, so he was penetrated by Long Yi's sharp spear. Even if she could react, she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand Long Yi's attack!

At this time, Zhang Cheng rode his horse, and pulled out the long sword from behind, cut off Toyotomi Hideji's head with one sword, and shouted: Toyotomi Hideji is dead.

With the feedback from the soldiers who could understand the Celestial Empire, they were already struggling to resist the Japanese pirates, and the cavalry of Toyotomi Hideji's personal guards were almost exterminated under the powerful attack of the Longyi Imperial Guards.

Kill them all!Long Yi rode his horse and ran out of the city gate, striving to pick the Japanese pirates who had no time to escape. He left the city gate and ran all the way to the Japanese pirates' base camp.

Long Yi caught the Japanese pirates off guard with a lightning speed. Wherever he went, he killed a lot of blood, and the Japanese pirates were defeated. During the escape, the Japanese pirates became the prey of the Celestial Army, and the entire outside of Kagoshima Port became a massacre site!

Lin Jiancheng also gave up the guards and took 10,000 soldiers out of the city to kill the enemy. Suddenly, the 50,000 Japanese pirates were less than 3,000 people who could escape back. All the rest were killed, and blood flowed into a river!

When Long Yi led the female guards and the Jinyiwei back triumphantly, the people of the Celestial Empire on Kagoshima welcomed each other, and the cheers were even deafening, and even the Tianlong was roaring cannons to celebrate.

Long Yi hasn't experienced such a passionate battle for a long time. The feeling of being loved and supported by all the people made him feel another way of living. Perhaps when he drives the invincible fleet to unify the world, this may be his new goal and pursuit.

Back on the Tianlong, the Empress Dowager and the others came out to greet him. The Queen Mother Li Zixi also called Long Yi too reckless, not because she was worried that Long Yi was injured, and if Fei Qingluan and the others all went to fight to kill the enemy, wouldn’t it be that the Celestial Empire had no army?

And if the concubines in the harem are injured, what should I do?

Fortunately, after the war, there were no female guards in the harem who were killed, and only a few of them suffered a little bit of minor injuries.

This is due to Yu Linglong and their daily training, and also to the dual cultivation of Long Yi and theirs. Therefore, their physique is different from ordinary people, with excellent physical fitness and top-notch martial arts skills. Except for a few injured by hidden arrows, the rest of them are all excited. No one is more excited than this group of girls when they are on the battlefield for the first time.

Especially Long Shiyun, she was so happy. Before Long Yi could answer her mother's queen Li Zixi's words, she rushed to answer for Long Yi: Mother, Mulan had joined the army for her father in ancient times, Mu Guiying took charge of her father in the Song Dynasty, and there were also female generals of the Yang family who fought in the west. Since ancient times, who has stipulated that women cannot go to the battlefield?Why do you say that women are inferior to men?I see that this sentence can be changed from today. The daughters of the Celestial Empire are also heroines!

Well, I agree with Shiyun’s statement!The others nodded in agreement, and Long Yi also echoed, and his mother Li Zixi could only nod helplessly after hearing this.

Long Yi said to Zhang Cheng: Zhang Cheng, call all the civil and military officials to the Tianlong, I will hold a morning court.

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: I will inform all officials now.

After Long Yi returned to the cabin to take a shower and change his clothes, he returned to the hall of the Tianlong. At this time, the sun had risen and the sun was shining. Long Yi felt warm in his heart, so he suggested that everyone move the stool out of the deck of the ship and go outside the cabin to discuss under the sun.

Dragon wings looked at Kagoshima Port on the deck of the ship. There was no place to recover tranquility, but after the war, Kagoshima felt a little desolate, and burning black smoke rose from time to time. The people were all saving and saving people, because the Japanese pirates were always blocked outside the city, so there was no big attack in the city. It was all about artillery shells and rockets hitting houses and causing fire!

However, the city walls were covered with corpses, and of course, more were the corpses of Japanese pirates.

Long Yi looked at this scene and asked: General Lin, is the number of casualties in our army coming out?

Lin Jiancheng said: When I go back to the emperor, the specific and precise numbers are still being counted, but according to rough statistics from each battalion, the number of casualties should be more than 1,000, three or four thousand injured, and hundreds of people were missing. The final numbers may not be counted later.

Um!Long Yi nodded and said: What about the enemy's casualties?

Now the people are helping to clean the battlefield. A rough count shows that the Japanese pirates have suffered at least 40,000 casualties.Lin Jiancheng said.

Long Yi nodded and said: Dear friends, many of you have followed me to participate in the battle last night. I would like to ask you what you think about this battle?

As soon as Long Yi finished speaking, the ministers were full of praise.

The emperor was wise and powerful, and he personally led the army to fight. The Japanese pirates were frightened when they heard about it. What a magnificent dynasty!Long live my emperor!

The emperor led the Imperial Guards to resist outside the city, which is a feat that has been recorded in history and has achieved great success!

What’s even more rare is that the emperor and the harem concubines participated in the front line to kill the enemy, which was unique!...

Faced with the praise, Long Yi was not happy at all. Seeing that the emperor was embarrassed, the ministers could not guess what the emperor was thinking, and they did not dare to think about it randomly, so they could only not say anything. For a long time, there was still a lot of praise just now, and the whole audience suddenly became silent, with only the sea breeze blowing the Buddha's flags shaking and making a sound.

Seeing that the ministers stopped talking, Long Yi asked, "Where is General Liu?"

Zhang Cheng said: General Liu is already under the ship, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

Long Yi said: He will meet him.

yes!

It is said that General Liu will meet with him.

At this time, General Liu boarded the Tianlong from under the ship. When he saw Long Yi, he immediately knelt down and said: I am late to save the lord, so please punish the emperor.

Rescuing the chariot is not your duty. I asked you to command a 400,000 army, not to save the chariot. It will be seven days since you went to Japan to fight. Come and report to the ministers about your war.

General Liu bowed his head and reported: Report to the emperor that since I led my army to fight against Japan from Kagoshima, I have been subjected to stubborn resistance from the Japanese pirates. The two daimyos, Tsushima and Oto, jointly fought against us. At present, our army has arrived in Sancho and is preparing to fight the Japanese pirates in decisive battle with the Japanese pirates, but I didn't expect that the Japanese pirates would attack Kagoshima Port!

Long Yi said: What is your current record?How much damage is the enemy?

General Liu said: At present, more than 40,000 casualties have been killed in front, and 20,000 Japanese pirates have been killed!

snort!

Long Yi was furious and said: If someone else kills one thousand enemies, he will lose eight hundred of them. How about you, killing two thousand enemies, he will lose four thousand of them?What else are you talking about to save the driver?It would be great if I didn’t go to save you!

The poor minister knows the crime!

General Liu said: It is because the Japanese pirates are too cunning. The process of our army's advancement is constantly being attacked and ambushed, and the road to Japan is unknown and often falls into ambush by the enemy.I have already been on the third level of Mò, and this time I will definitely be able to hit the Japanese pirates hard!

Long Yi said: General Liu, do you think the Japanese pirates would be so stupid that they lined up to fight your army?If this were the case, Japan would have been flattened!

After hearing what Long Yi said, General Liu suddenly felt that the matter was extremely serious. Indeed, the Japanese pirates could not be so stupid that they arranged a formation to shoot his dragon cannon and crossbow gun team. General Liu was sweating profusely...

When you are about to fight with others, you may be planning to poison you or ambush you!Long Yi said angrily.

General Liu became speechless, and Long Yi continued: Do you know why I am unhappy?Japanese pirates are not ordinary!At least it is not as easy as you imagined to be wiped out, otherwise the previous army would not be able to conquer this small Japanese country?Do you really think it is the reason for Kanfeng?

The ministers immediately did not dare to say anything. Last night's defense battle, they could win the more with less, but General Liu led an army of 400,000, but was beaten so hard that he could not find the north. This is really hard to explain.

Moreover, Long Yan was furious, who dared to offend him?

Why, General Liu's record scares you?Don't dare to say anything?Didn’t you just sing and praise?Why don’t you talk now?Long Yi said.

At this time, Lin Jiancheng looked around and saw that no one was talking, so he stood up and said: Emperor, I think General Xu's failure was because he was not thorough in analyzing the enemy. Last night our victory was because he turned the world around under the leadership of the emperor's wise and magical martial arts!

Well, isn't the analysis of the enemy thorough enough?So what should be done?Long Yi said.

We should suspend the attack and re-analyze the enemy's combat operations.Lin Jiancheng said.

Long Yi said: The 400,000 troops have already set foot on the territory of Japan. At this time, we still have to stagnate and re-evaluate the enemy?Is war a play?There are still a steady stream of troops coming to support you. At this time, you said you won’t fight anymore?Do we want to stay in this place and wait for the Japanese pirates to attack us?

Lin Jiancheng was so scolded that he didn't dare to speak out.

Emperor, I have something to say!

At this time, a fifth-rank military officer stood up and said, saying something, finally summed up the reasons for this failure, and expressed his own opinions. Long Yi was very happy after hearing this, and then issued a series of decrees, which made this morning court a complete success.

For Long Yi, this morning court gave him a lot of rewards, especially the emergence of this young general, which prevented him from worrying about the situation where he left Fusang in the future and had no leader in the Eastern Expedition Army. It is easy for the three armies to obtain good generals, but this is perhaps the reason.
