Chapter 651 The danger of Ryukyu has been resolved
"strike camp--!!"
After a night of rest, Cao Yuanzhao sent the four large city defense plans and coastal defense plans in two Xingtians to the direction of Kitakyushu... because the coach was there...
And he himself led more than two thousand officers and soldiers to escort the prisoners... and prepared to rush to Kagoshima's aid!
So does Kagoshima really need his help?
not necessarily……
Just because there is not much military rations in his camp, he plans to go all the way south from Kumamoto Castle to grab a wave of food and grass to fill up his luggage...
After all, he marched all the way in a hurry and took a mountainous road. He didn't even see a village, let alone a town. The food and grass stored in his army now only lasted for three days, including what was moved from Kumamoto Castle.
If you don’t grab a wave, you’ll have to drink the northwest wind! So what’s there to hesitate about?
A little further south is Utsuchi Castle, and further south is Yashiro. After Kagoshima is captured, he will be divided into a group... The military rations he has basically saved will be enough for him to fight for a year! Having no worries about food and clothing means having no worries, so he will
Outside, the military orders come on their own...
The cannon... has already arrived at the gate of Utu City...
"This time, all the ammunition will be loaded, and only the barracks and castle will be bombarded!"
"yes!!"
With an order, hundreds of cannons fired! The Japanese soldiers and people in the city immediately became a mess, but when they found that all the cannonballs only fell in the castle and military camps, whether it was the few soldiers or the whole city
The swarming people only did one thing...
That is to take the family with them, pack up the valuables and run away...
But the roads in the city are so narrow... The people in the city are all rushing out, which will undoubtedly only lead to one result, and that is to be completely blocked together... trampling on each other, crowding each other, and finally everyone is blocked there...
…Moveless…
However, this was exactly the result that Cao Yuanzhao wanted to see, so next... dozens of cannonballs just happened to explode in the crowded crowd that was difficult to evacuate!
For a moment, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and corpses were everywhere! Cao Yuanzhao just took a look with the telescope... and felt a little unbearable... ordered to stop the bombardment...
But even so, most of the people in the city were killed or injured, and the rest all fled to the mountains and became monkeys...
"Qiantian camp, Kundi camp, Duize camp, put on bayonets! Enter the city! Collect food and grass from house to house! The other camps will set up camp in the north of the city to rest for a day! Break camp the next day!"
"yes!"

at the same time
Xu Hui's tribe, which is a hundred miles away, has also looted all the way from Nagashima to Kyushu Island. Eighty miles to the southeast is Kagoshima!
However, Xu Hui... ordered the march to be slowed down because the Shijia Xingtian he sent to Kagoshima to explore the enemy's situation has not returned yet...
This is not to blame for the lack of hard work of this group of Xingtian Camp soldiers. It is really because Kagoshima is located at the southernmost tip of Kyushu Island, and its surroundings are plains except for the sea. There are no mountains at all... This also leads to
, the sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean will blow here all year round!
And the Pacific Ocean...is to the east of Japan...
And the wind... naturally blows to the northwest...
So the whole journey of the cross to the sky... was going against the wind! And it was a strong sea breeze!!
Over the past few days, these twenty Xingtian Camp soldiers took turns shaking the fans, not daring to stop, because as long as you didn't move forward, the wind would blow you back!
This short journey of dozens of miles... my arms are almost broken...
This is how two people sleep for a while, and I rock for a while. When I can't hold on any longer, I kick the sleeping person awake! Let him rock for a while...
After a lot of effort, it took three whole days... and we finally reached the sky above Kagoshima!
He quickly took out his telescope to investigate for a while. Shijia Xingtian used semaphores to convey messages. The division of labor was clear. Each of them drew a defense map of their own area and counted the men and horses in their own area! After all this was done, the twenty people were completely relieved.
The Xingtian Camp soldiers could no longer hold it back... they spread their hands and were blown back by the northwest wind... that oscillating fan... they didn't want to move it even if they were beaten to death...
So on the fourth day, when Xu Hui's army was only forty miles away from Kagoshima, they finally reunited with Shijia Xingtian! And obtained two crucial pieces of information!!
Article 1!
The current garrison of Kagoshima is at least 30,000!
Article 2...
Countless sampans are pulling Japanese soldiers from the southern sea to assemble in Kagoshima!
And based on the number, scale and direction of these sampans, it is not difficult to infer that they... should be the main force retreating from Ryukyu!
The crisis in Ryukyu has been resolved!
The premise is that these people must never return...
"General! The doctor has just seen it. The twenty soldiers are not seriously injured! They just fell asleep because of their strength!"
"Yes, I understand. Let the supply camp open a small stove for them and cook more meat for them. Come on down!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the guard opened the curtain and strode out...
And Xu Hui... also fell into deep thought again...
Thirty thousand...
By the time our army arrives in Kagoshima... the Japanese army should already number more than 40,000... If one fights four... it will not be difficult for the Shenji Battalion, but according to the commander, it will definitely not be
We are outnumbered from the front. After all, there are too many casualties, so it’s hard for me to explain to the coach...
So if she were the coach...how would she fight in this battle...?
Xu Hui looked at the defense plan brought back by the soldiers and fell into deep thought...
The advantage of our army... lies in the range and power of firearms...
The enemy's advantage... lies in their numbers...
