Chapter 421 Maeda Toshiya's Determination

In fact, not only Fukuoka, the entire Japanese country did not know how North Korea is now, whether the army was fighting or had been eliminated by the Ming Dynasty. In this case, Toyotomi Hideyoshi naturally felt lucky in his heart, or that the whole of the Japanese country was lucky. What if the army defeated the Ming army?

Under this mentality, it is naturally impossible to make a strong wall and clear the country. It is just to continuously strengthen the defense in Fukuoka and guard against the Ming Dynasty's navy day and night.

Although the Ming navy has been wandering in Fukuoka these days, it has basically harassed it, so the Japanese pirates in Fukuoka breathed a sigh of relief. However, Fukuoka is still increasing its troops. The Japanese pirates stationed in the Hachimashi Naguya have sent people to reinforce Fukuoka, but the people have not arrived yet.

Early in the morning, the Japanese pirates in Fukuoka got up as usual to eat and then changed their duty, but before they could eat, the alarm sounded.

The Ming Dynasty fleet appeared outside Fukuoka, and a large area of ​​blackness was blocked. The Japanese pirates stationed in Fukuoka were in chaos. They were over. The Ming navy was fighting. At the same time, their hearts were shocked. Could it be that the Korean army had been destroyed? Once such an idea arises, the Japanese pirates in Fukuoka would be in chaos and lose their momentum before they even started fighting.

Qi Jin put down the telescope in his hand, turned to Yu Zigao and said, "Old tactics, first fire two rounds of cannons, and then land."

Although there have not been many wars, the Ming Navy has always practiced landing wars a lot, but there is nothing to say about the tactics. It is to shoot the cannons, then the speedboats land, establish a stable defense point, and the large troop transport ships behind it follow, and then directly occupy the place to land.

The Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty was very familiar with this kind of war, so the flag was shaken and the war began.

The navy's gunboat was slanted, revealing all the side guns, and the muzzle was facing Fukuoka. This time, Qi Jiguang used fourteen main ships, each of which was sixty side guns facing Fukuoka, with a total of eight hundred and forty cannons, all of which were used were flowering bullets. As soon as the cannon was opened, the attack immediately became like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

The artillery roared, and the shells roared through the sky, and the Fukuoka Port instantly became the target of artillery.

Earth and rocks splashed, countless buildings were blown up, countless Japanese pirates were beaten and fled everywhere, with gunpowder smoke and fires soaring into the sky. In this case, it was impossible for Japanese pirates to prevent the Ming army from landing. When the navy was destroyed, unless there were enough land artillery towers, it would be impossible to prevent the Ming army from landing.

Unfortunately, Japan did not have enough cannons and land artillery towers, so it could not fire with the Ming Navy.

In fact, when the navy is destroyed, unless a bunker is built at every suitable landing point and equipped with enough cannons with a range and a long enough range, the army will not have the slightest fight back against the cannons of naval warships. You can't even beat everyone. What can you do with them?

There are countless such battles in history, and this is the result of the generational differences between weapons and tactics.

The battle went smoothly, and the Japanese pirates in Fukuoka had no way to stop the Ming Dynasty fleet. Soon Luo Shangzhi brought his men to Fukuoka.

"Let's divide the troops into two groups!" Qi Jin looked at Yu Zigao and said, "You bring people here to transport soldiers. I will go to the Strait of Maguan, establish a stronghold there, block the connection between Kyushu Island and the island of Japan, and prepare for the march into the island."

Yu Zigao nodded: "Okay!"

Yu Zigao was not worried about the matter of transporting troops. Now the Ming Dynasty's navy has no enemies in the waters here, so it can transport troops with peace of mind. With the capacity of the navy's warships, more than 100,000 people do not need to be transported for too long. The navy must divide the troops, which is very critical, and blocking the Guanmen Strait is also critical.

In the next three days, the navy began to transport troops to Fukuoka in Japan, and at the same time, countless food and grass were also transported to Tsushima Island and Fukuoka.

After occupying Fukuoka, Luo Shangzhi had already led the Ming Dynasty's infantry team as the vanguard army and began to advance towards the Hoshimai Nai Guaya.

Fatty former name is guarding the house.

As a base for the reserve army, there are a large number of Japanese soldiers gathered here, but the atmosphere here is very bad. First, the news of the unfavorable situation in the Korean War came back, the Second Army and the Third Army were destroyed one after another, and then the defeat of Takama Island, the entire Navy was destroyed, and the Nine Ghosts Kalong and Fujido Takaha were killed in battle.

Japan has completely lost the news of invading the North Korean army. Although it is a bit lucky, everyone knows that the army entering the North Korean army is in danger.

The question now is whether the Ming Dynasty will call it. Once the Ming Dynasty calls it, what should Japan do?

The person who is in charge of the Maeda Takiya is now the minister whom Toyotomi Hideyoshi trusts very much. As for Toyotokawa Ieya, he has not returned from Nagoya. A few days ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mother, Daimasato, died of illness. Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a funeral for his mother, and Toyotokawa Ieyasu was directly left in Nagoya.

Maeda Takiya knew in his heart that this was the reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't trust Tokugawa Ieyasu, but he was not in the mood to think about these things.

"General, someone is here in Fukuoka!"

When the Maeda Tatsuya heard his samurai come to give him a reward, the Maeda Tatsuya's mood was covered with a shadow. The Maeda Tatsuya would be very cautious about any information about Fukuoka. I don't know what happened this time, and the Maeda Tatsuya kept praying in his heart, and it was not that the Ming Dynasty had called him.

Soon a man walked in from outside, looking very embarrassed, lost his helmet, and still blood on his body.

Seeing the person coming, Maeda Taki's face changed: "Is something wrong?"

"The Ming Navy attacked Fukuoka, and Fukuoka was captured by the Ming Navy. The Ming Dynasty's vanguard has landed in Fukuoka and is now coming here." The visitor did not dare to hide anything, and quickly spoke.

After hearing the other party’s report, the Maeda Taki family’s eyes went dark and almost fainted. It was over!

Since the Ming Dynasty was opened, it means that the Battle of Korea has ended, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not be able to fight. Then there is no need to think about the result of the Battle of Korea. Nine legions, 150,000 people, plus the navy, Japan was defeated in this battle. What should we do now? The Maeda Taki family was a little panicked.

Although he is a famous daimyo in Japan and can fight since he was a child, the Maeda Taki family is really at a loss in the current situation.

"Where have they been?" Maeda Taki family asked again.

"According to the speed of the Ming army, it will arrive in seven days at the latest!"
