- Tokugawa Kayo and Kawabe Yuji have captured Okazaki Castle. Even after conquering Okazaki Castle, military operations began in the north and south areas of Miyazaki.
It can be said that everything has gone very smoothly since landing in Kyushu until now. Zhao Hongyu encountered no obstacles in his actions in Kyushu, and everything was proceeding steadily as he envisioned.
Although at the beginning, there was a battle with the Kyushu Allied Forces in Mirokuhara.
" However, Zhao Hongyu relied on his superiority in weapons to defeat the Kyushu coalition forces in Maitreya Plain, making the thirteen famous names of Kyushu deeply resentful.
Thirteen daimyo of the Kyushu Alliance assembled an army of 150,000 to fight Zhao Hongyu in Maitreya. These forces were the limit that the daimyo on the entire Kyushu continent could use.
It is precisely because of this reason that when the Kyushu Allied Forces suffered a disastrous defeat, they became extremely weak.
Zhao Hongyu judged such a situation very accurately and seized this opportunity very well.
As the saying goes, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to let go of such a good opportunity to kill him while he is sick. Nowadays, most of the elites of the thirteen famous families in Kyushu were lost on the Maitreya Plains battlefield.
If he doesn¡¯t seize such an opportunity, then wouldn¡¯t he, Zhao Hongyu, be the biggest idiot in the world?
Therefore, when Tokugawa Kayo attacked the Miyazaki area, Zhao Hongyu also led 6,000 Imperial Army troops and carried 150 artillery pieces to launch a mighty attack on the Satsuma Domain on the west side of Kyushu.
Satsuma Domain
Located on the west side of Kyushu Continent, it has vast plains, so food production can be self-sufficient.
Because it has enough food, the Satsuma Domain has the largest population among all daimyo territories in the entire Kyushu continent.
This time, the lord of the Satsuma Domain, Yamaguchi Shigenobu, responded to Fujita Takaji's call and brought out all the 20,000 elite Satsuma Domain warriors in his territory and merged them into the Kyushu Allied Forces.
Originally, Yamaguchi Shigenobu¡¯s plan was to take advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate the Satsuma clan¡¯s military power in front of the other twelve daimyo. After all, he felt that foreigners like Zhao Hongyu could not be opponents of the Kyushu coalition.
However, in the battle of Mirokuhara, the Kyushu Allied Forces numbering 150,000 were defeated. More than 100,000 coalition soldiers fell on the battlefield of Maitreya.
They, these people, have also suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
At that time, Yamaguchi Shigenobu escaped from the Mirokuhara battlefield with only 2,000 Satsuma clan warriors, and fled back to his Satsuma domain in a panic.
In this battle alone, his 20,000 elite warriors of the Satsuma Domain were basically lost.
¡°Don¡¯t look at the two thousand people left, but what are these two thousand people for?
This is the last military strength of the Yamaguchi family.
This time in the Battle of Maitreya, it can be said that Zhao Hongyu taught him a good lesson, telling him what it means that there are mountains and people outside the mountains, and with powerful weapons and novel tactics, he taught Yamaguchi Shigenobu A big shock.
Even after returning to Hakkaku Castle in the Satsuma Domain, Yamaguchi Shigenobu could not recover from his state of shock for a long time.
It has to be said that Zhao Hongyu shocked him too much.
Yamaguchi Shigenobu never dared to imagine that he could still fight like this in battle, and that there was a weapon in this world that could kill people so effectively.
Those brave soldiers were knocked down like straw when faced with that kind of weapon, unable to mount any resistance at all.
God, what is going on in this world?
Has the world changed?
Yamaguchi Shigenobu has been asking himself this question.
"It's a pity that he couldn't give an answer to this because he didn't know much about it.
Now there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses left in the entire Satsuma Domain that he brought back from Mirokuhara. It can be said that he is at the end of his rope and has no way to organize troops to fight against Zhao Hongyu.
Originally, other daimyo had summoned militiamen earlier and asked them to form the second echelon.
But Yamaguchi Shigenobu, who has always been proud and arrogant, did not do this.
Because he has great confidence in the Satsuma clan warriors who have always been famous for their bravery in Kyushu, he does not think that the thirteen daimyos united together will not be able to defeat even a mere foreign army.
However, the cruel reality has told him that these foreigners he originally looked down on are really veryIt was amazing, so amazing that he couldn't even imagine it.
Yamaguchi Shigenobu is full of regret now. He feels like he was crazy in the first place and insisted on supporting Fujita¡¯s decision as a sophomore.
This person always thinks of regrets after suffering a loss.
In fact, even if someone said something to him at the beginning, Fujita's proposal would still be recognized by other daimyo.
The reason is simple. They don¡¯t understand how powerful Zhao Hongyu is.
?????????????????????? When the thirteen great names of Kyushu united together, they formed a coalition army of more than 150,000 people. With so many troops, it was impossible for any of them to predict what would happen today.
That was an army of more than 150,000 people. At that time, they even thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the Four Kingdoms or other regions after defeating Zhao Hongyu.
But who could have imagined that things would suddenly take a turn for the worse?
Regret, regretting to death is useless.
After Yamaguchi returned to Bajiao City, he quickly sent people to summon the militia and asked them to assemble towards Bajiao City. I hope that before Zhao Hongyu and the others come to Satsuma Domain, they can gather a sufficient number of troops to fight against Zhao Hongyu.
In fact, in Yamaguchi Shigenobu's view, even if he summoned the militia, how many troops could he have? Maitreya's original 150,000 people were no match for those enemies, so even if he desperately gathered the militia, it would only be a mere 20 to 30,000 people.
Such a small amount of troops may not even be enough to fill the gap between the teeth of those enemies.
¡°After all, they even defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces, which numbered 150,000 people. Such a small number of people was simply not enough.
It can be said that in the battle of Mirokuhara, Yamaguchi Shigenobu's confidence and pride were completely destroyed by Zhao Hongyu.
The news of Mirokuhara's fiasco was spread by the soldiers who followed him after he returned to the Satsuma Domain, causing panic among all classes in the Satsuma Domain.
It is precisely because of the news of Maitreya's fiasco and the dissemination of news that has been distorted after countless processings that the Song Empire's army has been regarded as a devil who can breathe fire and kill you with its eyes.
Therefore, an atmosphere of panic suddenly enveloped the entire Sanssatsu Domain territory, and it weighed on people's hearts and made them very depressed.
The soldiers and samurai who had experienced the Battle of Maitreya no longer had the courage to fight Zhao Hongyu and the others. At that time, the horrific scene of Maitreya Plain with blood and flesh everywhere still echoed in their minds, making them unable to forget or distract them in any way.
Facing such a terrifying enemy is a nightmare for them.
¡°And it¡¯s a nightmare that they will never wake up from, and it can follow them and destroy them for the rest of their lives.
Many of the soldiers who escaped with Yamaguchi Shigenobu became trance-like and behaved strangely.
¡°Obviously, these guys are mentally broken.
Although the number of these people is small, their behavior and status have a great impact on others.
Therefore, when Yamaguchi Shigenobu sent troops to summon the militia, the young men of Satsuma Domain who heard the news were not very willing to come to Bajiao Castle.
We are all not fools. We know that we are going to die, so why should we stupidly send him to his door?
They are just honest farmers, not brainwashed samurai.
Therefore, the effect of recruiting militia has become less than ideal.
Because when Yamaguchi Shigenobu led his army to leave the Satsuma Domain, he took away all the elites of the Satsuma Domain, so now that the Satsuma Domain has left Hakkaku Castle, there are no troops in other areas at all.
Therefore, this has caused those regional villages, towns and cities that have already seen a gap in their military strength to begin to have strange plans at such a time.
Some local people with status, who have the final say and have great appeal analyzed the situation that Satsuma Domain is currently facing.
Soon, they came to the conclusion that it was impossible for the Satsuma Domain to withstand the attack of those foreigners.
And if things go wrong, even the Yamaguchi family will be destroyed.
Therefore, in this case, there is no need for them to die with Yamaguchi Shigenobu.
Since they have not offended those foreigners, let them deal with Yamaguchi Shigenobu.
And all they have to do is wait for the foreigners to surrender when they come with their troops. This is very simple.Isn't it?
No matter who rules the Satsuma Domain, they must be included in it. This should be clear to everyone.
And as long as those foreigners are not stupid, they will definitely take this opportunity to launch military operations against the Satsuma Domain.
With this trend of thought, Yamaguchi Shigenobu¡¯s life was difficult.
Although I hate these places that I want to leave, I am helpless because I am short of major generals and there is nothing I can do about it.
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger.
¡°And now he has to worry about those foreigners who are like devils. God knows when they will come to Satsuma Domain.
Therefore, after he returned to Satsuma Domain, he lived a life filled with fear and fear.
This feeling tortured Yamaguchi Shigenobu so much.
It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to kill those who have alien intentions, it¡¯s just that he really can¡¯t do it now.
Because if he does this now, the Satsuma Domain will be in chaos first.
Based on his current situation, he will have no way out if the Satsuma Domain is in chaos (To be continued.
