Steel Dynasty - Chapter 917

[Chapter 914: Troops gather]

A fire flower seemed to bloom on the edge of the blue sky and blue sea. It was beautiful and coquettish, but extremely deadly.

In just a moment of respite, the Nazhijin soldiers on guard at the Japanese pier were reduced to ashes in the artillery fire. When the smoke cleared, not a single soldier on the pier was still standing.

“We must not be merciful to our enemies, otherwise we will be the ones paying the price.” Yue Yun seemed to be saying to the generals around him, but also to himself.

The experience of countless wars told him that the enemy will not show mercy when they want to kill them, so the extra mercy now is the kindness of a woman who deceives herself and others.

The Marines on the flagship glanced at Yue Yun, then looked at the dock with a determined expression.

The country in front of us is the enemy of Dayu. They are always waiting for an opportunity to devour Dayu, which is in its weak period. There are Japanese invasions along the coast. Countless people and soldiers died in their hands during the Battle of Goryeo. Now it’s time for them to pay back. .

“Landing!”

After confirming that the dock was safe, Yue Yun gave Liu Chen the order to land.

Soon, small boats were lowered from the battleships, and the Marines rowed toward the shore with grenades hanging on their waists and Falcon rifles on their backs.

They would build a dock position before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, and rely on the gunfire of the battleships to establish a foothold in Nazhijin.

At this time, at the head of Nazuki Castle, which was only five miles away from the pier, a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes was observing everything happening on the pier through a telescope.

Seeing that his three hundred soldiers were all killed and injured in an instant, his legs couldn’t help but weaken. And after seeing the soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom starting to land, he became even more at a loss.

“Damyo Tokugawa, the artillery of the Great Yu Kingdom is too fierce, and the troops of Nazhijin Castle cannot resist it. If there is a direct conflict with the Great Yu Kingdom, I am afraid that our Tokugawa family will lose all its vassal troops. At this time We should ask the Yamada Daimyo to gather the other Daimyos’ vassal soldiers to defend against the invading enemy.”

When the middle-aged man was hesitant, a samurai reminded him.

Tokugawa Eji nodded when he heard this. Nagasaki, where Yamada is located, is only more than a day away from Nanotsu.

“Go quickly, if the Jin is not protected, we Tokugawa will not be protected.” Tokugawa Huihe looked stern. In his eyes, the country of Chongqing was a scourge, and he always held strong hostility in his heart.

After all, he was the most active when attacking the coast of Dayu, and sent the most troops under his command. It was thanks to the wealth brought by the plundering of Dayu over the years that Natsujin became the most prosperous country in Japan, second only to Nagasaki. city.

Therefore, after Dayu drove them out of Goryeo and blocked the coast, they were the most fearful, because he knew very well that once Japan was defeated, the Tokugawa family would inevitably face disaster.

After receiving the order, the samurai immediately rode out of the city towards Nagasaki. At the same time, more cavalry followed him in all directions. While reporting to Yamada, Tokugawa Keiji also sent a message for help to other daimyo.

However, when Tokugawa Huiji was scared out of his wits, the Chongqing soldiers who came ashore did not rush to attack, but quickly took control of the dock, and then started digging trenches in front of the dock with shovels, which seemed to be stationed for a long time.

At the same time, some warships began to dock at the dock, and field runners were lifted off the warships. In addition, boxes of ammunition, cans and other supplies were also carried off the ships by soldiers.

After an afternoon and a night of preparation, the Marine Corps established a firm foothold at the dock. Liu Chen looked at the battleships behind him. They would be his powerful fire support. Of course, their firepower was not weak either. Hand grenades and field running were also sufficient. Enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot.

“Ask the general if he wants to capture Nazhijin at night?” Liu Chen said to the flagman.

After receiving the order, the flag carrier turned around and raised a flag to the sea. After a while, the message came, and Yue Yun asked them to stay where they were, waiting for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

…

Nagasaki, a large number of soldiers have been gathered here, and he has made comprehensive preparations for this operation in Da Chongqing.

There is no doubt that this operation of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is full of malice, and Yue Yun’s leadership of the army is full of malice. Although he has made a policy of risking his life and trying his best, as Sato said, the emperor of the Great Chongqing Kingdom has never acted according to common sense. Card.

Therefore, after weighing the situation, he decided to make two preparations. If he lost the battle and Dayu agreed to negotiate, then it would be his wish.

If Dayu does not agree, he will leave Dayu, which has fought with war, to sit down for negotiations. He believes that Dayu is not willing to pay too much attention to his country.

While he was thinking, a samurai suddenly came in with a panting man wearing a samurai uniform with the Tokugawa family emblem embroidered on it.

“Yamada Daimyo, the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom are outside Nanozu City. Their soldiers have occupied the dock. The Tokugawa Daimyo requested the Daimyo to send troops to help immediately.”

The samurai said continuously in one breath.

“It is indeed Nanojin.” Yamada Nobunaga’s eyes narrowed and he said, “Did Tokugawa report to others?”

“Yes.” The samurai said.

Yamada Nobunaga nodded slightly. He was suddenly a little happy. Originally, he was worried that other daimyo would oppose him, but now Dayu’s actions seemed to give him an opportunity to unite other daimyo.

“Maybe we can win this war!” Yamada Nobunaga’s decadence was suddenly replaced by confidence.

Thinking of this, he said: “The daimyo are all in the same spirit. Tokugawa’s crisis is my crisis. In order to resist the invasion of Da Yu, our soldiers have already been assembled. Now is the time to rush to the aid of the Tokugawa family. In addition, if you take my military talisman and give it to the Tokugawa Daimyo, let him mobilize the navy of the Nazunai River to attack the navy of the Dayu Kingdom and delay their attack. Of course, it would be best if you can severely damage them.” Yamada Nobunaga said solemnly. said.

“Yes.” The warrior lowered his head and shouted loudly. After taking the weapon talisman, he turned and left.

Watching the samurai of the Tokugawa family leave, Yamada Nobunaga showed a smile on his face. He said to the samurai beside him: “Takasugi-kun, I leave the battle of Nanotsu to you.”

The samurai whom Yamada Nobunaga became Takasugi-kun was tall and thin, with a dark face and a stern look. He said in a low voice: “I will definitely not disappoint the daimyo.”

After saying that, the young man covered in armor walked out of the hall and mounted his horse. Leading the assembled musketeers and iron artillerymen to advance towards Nanotsu.

As he rushed to Nanozu, other daimyo who supported Nanozu also sent troops.

The next day, a steady stream of soldiers appeared in Nanojin Castle.

Tokugawa Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Together with the other daimyo’s vassal soldiers, there are now a full 200,000 soldiers in Nanozu City, while the soldiers of Dayu Kingdom are only more than 20,000 ashore.

PS: There is another chapter, a little later. I won’t go into the reason. You are here to read the book, and you should not share the negative energy of the snail.
