Pang Ning turned his head and looked at the front of the formation. A Japanese samurai with white beard and hair without wearing any
Wear a sword. Holding a piece of parchment in his hand, he stood on horseback two hundred steps away from Pang Ning's army. Pang Ning let go of Deng Aqi and looked carefully at the parchment in the old man's hand with the binoculars.
That parchment is obviously a map of the "Partition of Japan" sent by Pang Ning.
In order to capture Senshan, Date Masamune took another 20,000 people from the north today. So far, the Fukuoka Domain's 5,000 men have been defeated, the Choshu Domain's 5,000 men have not fought, and there are only 12,000 Japanese vassal soldiers left on the mountain side of the city. The weapons of the time travelers are far more sophisticated than those of the Japanese feudal soldiers. It is impossible for 12,000 feudal warriors to defeat Pang Ning's 5,000 men. As long as these ten thousand people are defeated, Pang Ning can go to Xianshan to double-team Date Masamune.
In other words, the numerical advantage of the Japanese coalition forces on the battlefield is basically useless. The trend of the battlefield has reached its most subtle and critical moment.
At this time, the Shimazu family of Satsuma Domain in Kyushu sent people over, for what purpose?
During the Battle of Ryukyu, Pang Ning was deeply impressed by the combat effectiveness of Satsuma Domain soldiers. But on Iwami Ginzan's side, the two thousand soldiers of Satsuma Domain have not taken the initiative to attack. Looking at the white-haired old warrior opposite, Pang Ning narrowed his eyes, and suddenly felt that the scale of victory was beginning to tip towards him.
Pang Ning wants to find someone to contact him. He looked at the captain of the fourth brigade in front of him.
The navy¡¯s sailor organization is different from that of the reformed navy and vanguard army.
Although it was originally named Pohai Camp like the Pioneer Battalion and Gaishui Battalion, Pang Ning gradually discovered that that kind of army organization was not suitable for navy sailors. After all, sailors fight most of the time on ships. A warship is often equipped with a fixed number of sailors, and in naval battles, the situations between different ships are completely different. Therefore, the most important unit of the navy is the "squadron" that matches a warship.
But as Pang Ning¡¯s warships increased, Pang Ning could no longer directly manage an increasing number of squadrons. So he set up four more group captains to centrally dispatch squadron leaders in logistics and land operations.
But in fact, Pang Ning had too many things to do. Even if he set up a captain, he would still be unable to catch up. Not only does he have to manage the overseas territories of Dongyi Island, Chishan Port, and Colao Port, which are thousands of miles away, but he also has to maintain the maritime trade of the entire South China Sea Kingdom and manage those elite maritime merchants. Under the confusion, Pang Ning had left all the sailor affairs to Li Ye. Pang Ning was not familiar with these sailor captains either.
But when they went ashore to fight a tough battle today, Pang Ning discovered that the second and third brigades for which Li Ye often performed meritorious deeds had little combat effectiveness. Although the Fourth Brigade was somewhat dissatisfied, their fighting style on the battlefield was extremely tough.
"Liu Dalou, go up! See what little Japan has to say."
Liu Dalou, captain of the Fourth Brigade, is arranging the horseback in front. Hearing King Nan's shouting, his body froze. This man was used to Li Ye making things difficult for him. When he heard the order, he subconsciously felt that his superiors wanted to make things difficult for him, and he immediately looked dissatisfied. Not only was he dissatisfied, several sailors from the Fourth Battalion around him lowered their heads, as if they thought they were being tricked by their superiors again.
Standing behind Juma, Wang Daodewei weighed the shovel in his hand. He didn't even turn around to look at Pang Ning. He just frowned and said,
"We are just a rough guy, originally a fisherman! How can we know the Japanese pirates' nonsense? We don't have that ability, Your Highness, let others do it!"
Pang Ning was stunned for a moment, looking at this man in surprise.
Soon, Pang Ning came to his senses and glanced at Li Ye dissatisfied. Pang Ning cursed loudly at Wang Mansion, "Nonsense, are you stupid?"
Pang Ning felt that the captain's appearance was really funny, and couldn't help but cursed loudly, "Of course, let the translator go with you! You played well today! I asked you to negotiate on behalf of the Nanhai Kingdom. I just want to make you look good! You fool!" Damn it, are you stupid?"
Hearing Pang Ning's words, Li Ye's face turned pale and he coughed subconsciously.
Wang Dalou was startled when he heard this, and then turned to look at Pang Ning.
Seeing that Nan Wang¡¯s fat face that was darkened by black smoke was glaring with anger, and there was no joking look on his face, Wang Mansion woke up as if from a dream. Finally understanding that Nan Wang and Li Ye were different, Wang Dalou threw away the shovel in his hand and said loudly, "We have an interpreter, let's go home!"
Pang Ning waved his hand impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense, who, the translator, and Wang Mansion are riding over." His eyes narrowed, Pang Ning's face suddenly became ferocious, and he shouted loudly, "Hurry up, who is delaying you?" Military aircraft, I¡¯ll shoot him!¡±
The translator, who had some Japanese ancestry, was so frightened by Pang Ning's appearance that his legs weakened. He immediately got on his horse and rushed to the Wang Building with a horse. The two of them rode quickly towards the old Japanese man, said a few words, took the map and rode back.
Wang Building seems a little unaccustomed to being in publicAfter the battlefield, we embarked on the path back to Kyushu Island.
The retreat of the Satsuma clan caused a chain reaction.
Suddenly, on the hill where Date Masamune was, another unit also turned around and headed south, following the footsteps of the Satsuma clan and leaving the battlefield.
?. Those were the four thousand feudal soldiers of the Kyushu Kumamoto Domain, and their territory was close to the Satsuma Domain. In fact, they were specially arranged by the shogunate to hijack the Satsuma clan in the central and southern part of Kyushu Island. The Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain left the battlefield without permission, apparently betraying the Tokugawa Shogunate. Next, Shimazu will definitely attack their territory. If they attack with all their strength, the Satsuma Domain can pull out an army of 10,000 people. How can the few guards left in their territory withstand it?
The Shimazu family is an extremely powerful family, and the Kumamoto clan must rush back to protect their territory.
No matter what orders Date Masamune issued, he could not defeat the Kumamoto clan's instinct to defend its territory. Almost in a desperate posture, the Kumamoto clan's swords were fully opened, passing straight through the gaps between other feudal armies and running towards Kyushu.
But there was more to it than that. On the deadly silent battlefield, a huge cry of killing suddenly came from the north.
Five thousand people from the Changzhou Maori family rushed to the end of the path and began to attack the shogunate army who took a detour to outflank Pang Ning. The Maori soldiers who had endured for decades suddenly seemed to come to life again. With huge shouts of killing, they attacked the vassal soldiers who supported the shogunate and were unstoppable. It was a kind of venting of hatred, venting the hatred that left them with no food and clothing, and turned them from the hegemons of Japan's Western Kingdom into the wretches of Changshu.
Countless increasingly panicked eyes were staring at the direction where the shouts of killing came from. The morale of the Japanese allied forces was disintegrating little by little amid the Maori clan's shouts of killing.
In front of the battlefield where the Navy of the Nanhai Kingdom was located, three thousand sailors and two thousand cavalry looked at Pang Ning, the Southern King of the Nanhai Kingdom, with eyes full of admiration.
They really didn¡¯t expect that King Pang¡¯s plan of differentiation would be better than thousands of troops at this time.
On the hilltop opposite, only four thousand soldiers of the Katsuyama Domain were left stunned. Just now, the Satsuma clan was protecting their right wing, but now they were left alone. However, this is no longer a problem for the right wing. The development of the battlefield situation has made the feudal lords of Katsuyama Domain a little panicked. There was betrayal everywhere. They seemed to have seen the failure of the war and had begun to doubt the meaning of continuing to fight.
"Keep rushing! Knock out their last confidence!"
Pang Ning squinted his eyes and pointed his riding whip at the soldiers of Katsuyama Domain who were surrounded by grass and trees.
"The cavalry without rifles took a circuitous route to contain their formation, while the others went up to suppress and fire. I'll give you five minutes to overwhelm the Katsuyama Domain."
