Chapter 150 The little Japanese are going to fight for their lives!

Kagoshima Castle, the main city of the Shimazu family, is very close to the port of Bozuzhai, so close that Bozuzhai can even be regarded as the outer city of Kagoshima Castle.

Kagoshima Castle is on the mountain, while Bozuo Village is on the seaside.

This city is not big, but it is the iron cannon manufacturing center of the Shimadzu family. It is also the city of Shimadzu furniture. Even Satsuma Domain can be called Kagoshima Domain. This shows the importance of this place to the Shimadzu family. This is the Shimadzu family's home. Fundamentals and hope.

At such a close distance, Kagoshima Castle had already discovered the fierce battle that broke out on the sea.

As the head of the family, Shimazu Mitsuhisa immediately came to the city wall to observe and watched the naval battle from beginning to end.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes turned red as he watched his navy being slaughtered into dogs by the enemy wearing the sun and moon flag on the opposite side.

The Minhai fleet was going crazy, and he was going crazy too. Without the navy, what else could he use to fight the Tokugawa shogunate?

The reason why the Shimazu family was able to defy the Tokugawa shogunate was largely due to the existence of the Shimazu family navy, which prevented the shogunate from messing around.

At this time, only the Minhai Fleet and large pieces of shipwrecks were left on the sea. The Minhai Fleet did not stop there, but swept towards Kagoshima Castle.

Similar to the big bird ship, the ratio of short heavy guns to polu cannon is about 60 to 40. Each bird ship is equipped with twenty short heavy cannons and fifteen polu cannons. Because the short heavy cannons are lighter, there are more combinations.

It made Mitsuhisa Shimazu feel heartbroken. This was the accumulation of two generations of the Shimazu family, and it was just wiped out.

Many of the Hongyi cannons that had first brought them hope were destroyed by the firepower of the Minhai Fleet.

Therefore, taking advantage of the geographical convenience, the Shimazu family bought a lot of red cannons from the Dutch.

Thanks to the Shimadzu's strategic location, the first stop for Dutch people who came from the south to do business was Kagoshima.

Kagoshima Castle is built on a 100-meter-high mountain top. If attacked from land, it is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, it is too close to the sea, and the artillery of the Minhai Fleet can threaten its city walls.

"Master! Let's leave the city wall quickly. It's about to collapse. It's too late if we don't leave!"

As a result, the Fujian Fleet continued to approach the shore, quickly adjusted the angle of its hull, and began bombarding the forts on the city wall.

In contrast, the firepower of the Minhai Fleet completed full coverage of the Kagoshima city wall.

Boom boom boom boom…

This battle is very dangerous, because with the Minhai Fleet present, Kagoshima City will face the enemy's naval guns.

One after another, the Po-po cannon shells fell down. Some shells hit the city wall, and the flying rubble overturned a large number of Shimazu soldiers. Some fell into the city, piercing rows of small wooden houses. .

"How can it be!"

Seeing the Minhai Fleet getting closer and closer, a warrior from the Shimazu family quickly reminded him.

Shimazu Tsunagi gritted his teeth and ordered.

Because the red barbarian cannons are expensive and scarce, Shimazu Mitsuhisa usually treats them as family heirlooms. Today has reached the most dangerous moment, and they must be allowed to show their power!

Because the range of short and heavy artillery is insufficient, all the artillery shells fired by the Minhai Fleet are solid shells. Long-barreled cannons such as Polu cannon are not suitable for firing explosive shells.

Boom boom boom...

A sheet of sails surged out from below the horizon, two sails, three sails, countless sails, crowded towards the sky, seeming to squeeze the sky even bigger.

A loyal Shimazu warrior quickly pulled him under the city wall.

Under the destruction of a large number of Japanese artillery pieces, Kagoshima's not-so-high city wall was quickly shattered into pieces, with gaps all over it.

Firepower is incomparable.

Although the damage caused to the Minhai Fleet was not great, the beating was not in vain. This made the Shimazu soldiers watching the battle on the city wall rejoice, and even the nervous Shimazu Mitsuhisa smiled.

"Send the order! Prepare to land! Each ship will launch a pouring bombardment on the Japanese fort on the shore!"

Zhu Tiangui issued his latest order in a timely manner.

At this time, he probably knew who the enemy was. It should be the Yanping Royal Navy that dominated the East Asian sea. Could it be that the shogunate cooperated with them to defeat him?

Just as he was thinking about the origin of his enemy, his subordinate suddenly interrupted.

This is a scene the Shimadzu family has never seen before.

It was precisely because of this that Shimazu Mitsuhisa had the courage to stay in Kagoshima to defend the city.

Seeing the cracked city wall and the soldiers looking for bunkers to hide, the stunned Shimazu Mitsuhisa immediately came to his senses.

"Master, the enemy is about to land!"

On the way to the Shimazu family, the main force watched helplessly as the ships of the Fujian Sea Fleet approached Kagoshima Castle from the sea step by step.

However, because the two sides were still a little far apart, only four 10-pound cannonballs out of the twenty dozen or so shells hit the two Big Bird ships, causing casualties to several soldiers, and the rest of the cannonballs all hit the sea.

Now is the time to fight with family wealth. Seeing the Hongyi cannon leaning quietly against the city wall, Shimazu Mitsuhisa feels a little safer.

He no longer cared about the dignity of the nobles. He rolled on his hands and feet and followed his subordinates down the city wall in a hurry.

Soon, Shimazu Mitsuhisa's smile transferred to Zheng Kezang's face, and their cheers were drowned out by the gunfire of the Fujian Sea Fleet in the next moment.

The roar of hundreds of cannons tore many of the Shimadzu soldiers who had been cheering a moment ago into pieces.

With Shimazu Mitsuhisa's order, the soldiers took off the coats of these artillery pieces and began to counterattack.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the enemy's artillery could hit Kagoshima Castle!

Due to the high terrain, when other artillery guns fired at Kagoshima Castle from the sea at the same time, they basically could not hit the walls of Kagoshima.

The sound of artillery roared, and more than twenty Hongyi cannons took the lead in launching an artillery attack on the Fujian Fleet, which was still adjusting its formation.

Seeing that the enemy is getting closer and closer, they have already reached the shooting range of the Hongyi cannon!

"What are you waiting for, let's have sex!"

The counterattack of the Fujian Fleet was not as simple as ten or twenty artillery pieces. Before the Fujian Fleet went to Ryukyu, it replaced many backward Hongyi cannons with 12-pound Polu-1 artillery.

The solid bullet siege was a little worse, but the Kagoshima Castle opposite was not a bastion, and the solid bullets were enough!

Boom boom boom...

Coupled with the power bonus of sugar gunpowder, the Polu Cannon has a longer range.

"Baga! These bastards! My navy!" Shimazu Mitsuhisa punched the stone wall. Even though blood flowed from his finger bones, he ignored it.

"Quick, send the order! Pull out the cannons bought from the Dutch! Sink all these damn Akito warships!"

Boom!

Amidst the sound of artillery fire, part of the city wall built in 1601 AD collapsed, sending smoke and dust into the sky, killing many Japanese soldiers who had no time to escape.

Miserable wailing sounds came and went.

The disgraced Tsunaki Shimazu looked at the bloodless surface of the collapsed city wall and murmured to himself: "Is this divine punishment?"
