Chapter 152: Catch Old Devil Mitsuhisa Shimadzu Alive
Chapter 152 Capture the old devil Shimazu Mitsuhisa alive
"Hold on! Don't panic! Kill them while they reload their bullets!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu, wearing gorgeous armor, shouted loudly while riding a horse.
After the distance between the two sides was close, the Minhai Fleet was afraid of accidentally injuring friendly forces, so it finally stopped the bombardment. This was its only chance.
He took the lead and led the infantry to charge forward!
"Iron artillery team, shoot! Shoot!"
Finally, they reached a distance where the Shimadzu family's iron cannon could exert its power. Under the urging of the Shimazu family samurai, the iron cannon ashigaru quickly picked up the matchlock gun and fired at the Ming and Zheng troops.
The two sides exchanged fire on the coast of Kagoshima. This was the time when the soldiers' willpower was most considered.
The Minhai Fleet had stopped shelling, but the Guards' 6-pounder cannons were still roaring. In conjunction with the high-rate flintlock guns, the Shimazu family's ashigaru fell one row after another.
Mitsuhisa Shimazu, who was wearing gorgeous armor, was also accidentally shot.
This time he was lucky, the flintlock bullet did not hit his body, but hit the black horse under his crotch.
This is like a plague. Once a soldier runs away on the battlefield, the rest of the people can't help but follow him.
Just when the Shimazu soldiers were about to rush forward and hack down the enemy on the opposite side, they all found that the other party had taken out something that looked a bit like a "small hammer" and threw it at them.
A group of people are crowded together. If they charge, they will die. If they don't charge, they will die. It is better to turn around and run away. There may be a way to survive.
Finally, after paying a heavy price, the Shimazu soldiers rushed to the front of the Guards and Spanish Confederates.
The Shimazu family's ashigaru tried to retreat, but the samurai supervising team at the rear had already stood behind them. If anyone dared to retreat randomly, not only muskets but also long swords would be waiting for them.
"Throw the divine thunder!"
This wave of grenade offensive almost completely wiped out the Shimazu family's vanguard troops who were at the forefront.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Shimazu Mitsuhisa was ready to sacrifice himself to keep the fire of the Shimazu family. His son Shimazu Tsunhisa died in 1673, and his grandson was good enough to inherit his position.
Could it be that they are playing a ninja game? It makes no sense. This is a war. These red-haired ghosts don't know how to respect people!
Wait, they found that there were a lot of enemies on the opposite side, not only red-haired ghost beasts, but also oriental faces in the same costume.
A large number of samurai were killed, causing the Shimazu family's troops to lose control.
Gunshots rang out, and bullets from the first battalion of the Guards fired at the group of warriors.
A large part of the suffering was caused by the Shimadzu family samurai who were the officers who took the lead.
More and more Shimazu Ashigaru fell to the ground, and more and more people escaped.
Under the precise drumbeat of the Ming and Zheng military musicians, the soldiers of the Guards and the Spanish Confederate Army immediately rushed forward with bayonets drawn.
However, his loyal men did not let go. The status of these warriors was given by Shimazu Mitsuhisa. Even if Shimazu Mitsuhisa died, they would not be better off.
"Baga! Put me down, run away to Kagoshima Castle, and take my grandson Shimazu Tsunayuki to Osumi Takayama Castle and make him the new head of the family!"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa struggled to hold up his aching body, and several samurai around him quickly rushed over and helped him up.
Letting them fight against a group of troops with extremely high training and morale is tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone.
The bayonets of the Guards and the Spanish Confederate Army came suddenly, and the collapsed cannon fodder Ashigaru began to retreat.
On the other hand, on the Shimazu family's side, all that's left are a group of Ashigaru cannon fodder who have lost their command, have incomplete armor, and have low morale.
The remaining samurai protected Shimazu Mitsuhisa and tried to escape. They wanted to escape to Osumi Takayama Castle. Kagoshima Castle had been breached and had become a dead place.
The warriors, who were filled with panic, took the order and continued to charge towards Ming and Zheng's military formation.
He didn't expect that his desperate fight would be so completely defeated. There was absolutely no way out!
Several close samurai saw that the old man Shimazu Mitsuhisa had lost his ability to think, so they dragged him around and tried to escape with him.
As the head of the Shimazu family, he has never been so miserable since he came to the throne!
"Hiyi!"
Bang bang bang…
What the hell, can this "little hammer" be used as a hidden weapon?
As the distance between the two sides grew closer, more and more people in the Shimadzu family died.
"Mount your bayonet and charge!"
"The ghost is too ferocious, run away!"
The Dongning Divine Thunder that fell on the Shimadzu soldiers suddenly exploded, and the pieces of iron exploded in all directions, blowing up the Shimadzu soldiers into bloody pieces.
Before the samurai supervising team could draw their swords and kill people, the ashigaru, whose superficial formation was exposed, could no longer resist the offensive of Ming and Zheng's troops, and turned around and fled one after another.
"Don't run away! Come back!" Shimazu Mitsuhisa shouted in embarrassment, but except for a few close samurai, no one paid him any attention.
"Keep moving forward! Prepare to charge!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu pushed away several samurai and shouted with crazy expressions.
"Those are the big shots of the Shimazu family, don't let them get away!" Qian Yan, with his sharp eyes, had noticed them early. His eyes loved staring at these noble lords.
Boom boom boom...
But this is so difficult. Shimazu Mitsuhisa and these close samurai warriors have bright and beautiful armor. They look like big fish at first sight, and the Guards have long been eyeing them.
After several rounds of shooting, he realized that not only the enemy's artillery was sharp, but also the muskets in their hands were not simple.
After all the Dongning Divine Thunder was consumed, Zheng Kezang stepped forward and raised his gold-plated Longquan Sword!
Now only hand-to-hand combat can turn defeat into victory!
"Baga, run away!"
Fortunately, the Japanese war horses were not tall like the Japanese at that time, but Shimazu Mitsuhisa was already sixty-five years old.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battlefield became one-sided, and a large number of Shimazu soldiers were knocked to the ground.
"Put me down, I won't run away, I'm going to fight with them!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu, who was suffering from a runny nose, said excitedly. He struggled hard, trying to rush up and die with the enemy.
The horse couldn't help but feel the pain, neighing miserably, and then threw Shimazu Mitsuhisa off the horse.
Seeing the Japanese army getting closer and closer, Zheng Kezang showed a devilish smile, and Dongning Divine Thunder came in handy again.
He suddenly fell off his horse and almost killed him!
The continuous explosions even covered up the screams of these Shimazu soldiers.
Moreover, the Shimazu family's soldiers had already been blown to pieces by Dongning's divine thunder, causing numerous casualties.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that he was determined to stay, these warriors obeyed his orders and fled in all directions.
The frustrated Shimazu Mitsuhisa drew his katana and launched a desperate charge.
"Baga, you bastards, you should die!"
Shimazu Mitsuhisa, an old devil, rushed forward quite quickly, but it was of no use.
Qian Yan stared at him for a long time, then shot him in the thigh. The old devil lost the ability to resist on the spot and was captured alive!
