The turmoil on Kyushu Island has intensified to an unparalleled level in just a few days.

In just two days, the empty defense of Himeki, except for Nagasaki Castle, had been completely penetrated. The 350,000-six-six-Kaomei-Kuangshima family became a stray dog ​​and fled in a hurry. The three small vassals of Kurume, Yanagawa and Renchi were even less opponents of the aggressive Ikki Shimahara and the East China Sea pirates who possessed cannons and many firearms. The two vassals were captured in another day, and the Akichi family, the Kuroda branch, fled directly to Fukuoka Castle. On the third day of March, the war had already reached the Kurosaki Kumamoto Castle and the Hosokawa family's base camp.

"Tread away! Swallow!"

Holding a sword high, Ikki samurai of the military level roared like a chicken and took the lead in charge, wearing a cross-wrapped head, and a white robe holding a spear, a samurai sword, a big bow and hoe, with all kinds of weapons, and charging towards the city head that was only more than three meters high without fear of death.

By now, Shimahara Castle Army has reached 50,000. Looking around, many rebels are rushing against Kumamoto's walls like a white ocean, as if they are about to destroy the city at any time.

Unfortunately, people are not sea water after all, so they cannot really flood. And Kumamoto Castle is not a reef. They resist with their iron heads. A few days ago, the musket and trench system in Dongjiang shine. Today, it is the turn of the Japanese warriors to have iron cannons.

"Die!"

On the wall, there was the same language, the same samurai sword, the same army followed. With loud calls, the iron cannon warrior carrying the neck flag behind him stretched out his muzzle out of the Kizuka shooting port. A crackling rain of bullets, the Shimahara rioters in charge seemed to be hit hard by fists in the air, and the samurai in the lineup fell to the ground one after another.

This row retreated, and the next row surged, and more than two thousand iron cannons were divided into three rows, causing shocking casualties.

However, the Shimahara rebels were not fighting back. Just when the iron cannon on the top of the city was suppressing, a rumbling shot hit a wooden stick on the top of the city. With the roar, the shells pushed the wood chips into the crowd. More than ten people screamed and fell directly into the city. They were lucky to die on the spot. A little samurai who was forced to go to the battlefield was less than twenty years old and had broken pieces of wood inserted into the thigh. The legs were obviously drooping unnaturally. He held his legs dripping with blood dripping, and howled shrillly.

The one who made the most profit this time was not even the Dongjiang Army. After all, Mao Jue's war dividends were still in the Kanto Plain. The one who took the most advantage was these East China Sea pirates.

The main force of the Japanese army in Jiuzhou was driven to Zhuqian by Mao Jue. This high-intensity marching had already caused the troops in the cold weapon era to be reduced. From Zhuqian, he took a boat or detoured back to his own vassal, even if he could rush to the battlefield, he would be exhausted and would not be able to perform 100% of his martial arts.

Moreover, this time, the pirates were not the cannon fodder themselves. As the cannon fodder, Ikkiko Shimahara rushed forward. They just needed to shoot cannons in the back and then pick up cheap things. Although the harvest of Daming Gucheng such as Qiuyue Castle, Yanagawa Castle, and Fuyue Castle in recent days is unlikely to compare with Hangzhou, it is better than robbing the countryside tens of millions of times, and more importantly, there are more places to grab.

Seeing a cannon hit, the pirates who fired the cannon could not help but cheer like monkeys. Following the gap, the island Ikki, who was crowded under the city, rushed up like an ant.

The Japanese army did not have the bayonet skills at this time, and they were shocked by iron cannons at the bottom of the city. The Shimahara samurai who rushed to the front was extremely fierce and killed more than a dozen of them in a row.

However, after all, it was the Wu family who built their family by force. After a few whistles, the iron cannon warriors all retreated backwards, and replaced them with teams of gun warriors and sword warriors.

In terms of single-handed battles, the Dongjiang Army, which had been strengthened and trained, can fight two, three and ten Japanese, but for the Ikki Army formed by these farmers, professional samurai still maintains a considerable advantage. Just taking sword skills, watching several Shimahara troops roar up, a Hosokawa family black-armored samurai walked forward like a wandering stroll in the garden, with a long sword in his hand as elegant as a flower arrangement in his maid. After eight steps, six Shimahara rebels were chopped down like lightning, and the rest also fled back in fear.

After fighting for a whole morning, several gaps were made and a hundred members of the Hosokawa family were killed. However, they were completely different from the unstoppable force of the Hosokawa family. The corpses left behind were left on the ground, and the fierce Shimahara riots had to retreat again.

But even so, looking at the collapsed city walls and the burning ginkgo trees, the teenage lord Hosokawa Tsunori was still sweating profusely, and kept waving his 100% military fan, yelling anxiously.

"Have reinforcements not arrived yet?"

"When you go back to your highness, the messenger has been sent out, but from the Fukuoka clan, Tang Kou has surrounded Fukuoka Castle. The shogunate general Matsuhira Nobutsu did not dare to respond at all, and crossed the sea and fled back to Zhou Fang."

Just now, the damn pirate raised his gun and raised his gun to the young man, who was sweating-covered, and said something like cold water. As the horns in the city sounded again, the damn pirates raised their guns high. Suddenly, Tsunari Hoshikawa broke out again, and slapped the military fan at his hand to the ground.

"Send someone to ask for help from Shimazu family and tell Shimazu Kokuha that old bastard that the shogunate cannot count on it. If he doesn't help me, if Kumamoto's wings fall, then there will be more than 100,000 Ikki people who will enter his Satsuma family and let him consider it for himself!"

"Okay, the "Military Laws" stipulated by the shogunate..."

He hesitated for a while, but before he could finish his words, he saw that his daimyo had reached out to look for a knife, and the chief retainer immediately shuddered and knocked his head to the ground.

"Hayi!"

…………

Unlike the Central Plains generals, the foundation of the shogunate rule was the martial etiquette. Whoever is stronger and who speaks hard. With his powerful skills, the Tokugawa family suppressed the Warring States daimyos who had grown up with jackals. But now, the shogunate is so unbearable that the Tokugawa family's rule in Kyushu has begun to slowly decline.

However, Matsupi Nobuka, who paid such a price, still failed to achieve his strategic intentions.

Thirty thousand shogunate troops retreated to Nagato, the territory of the Mori family on Honshu Island. Here, the shogunate troops gradually recovered their vitality. However, in this formation, Matsuhira Nobutsu was like a lion locked in a cage, and the roaring sounds were known for several miles.

"If you don't return, it's over! Maori Tsunahiro, if you dare to stop me again, I will kill you!"

"Mon Matsuhei, I advise you to save some effort! I am not afraid to tell you the truth. The one who asked my Maori family to stop you here is the old Aoyama Lord. In a few days, Lord Tokugawa Sokyo will take over the military power of the Kyushu crusade team with reinforcements."

The relationship between Daimai and Tokugawa's relatives was not very good, not to mention that the Mori family and Tokugawa family were still considered a great feud. The nominal general of the Western Army in the war between Sekigahara was Mori Mori. After the war, the Tokugawa family cut the Mori family from 1.2 million stone daimai to 370,000. The ban on the sea also cut off the Maori family's wealth and obtained a secret letter from the Kuroda family. The contemporary head of the Mori family did not even verify it. He led people to stop Matsuhira Nobutsu's retreat. At the same time, he was also a flying envoy to report Edo, and Matsuhira Nobutsu was suspected of treason.

Who told him to make a good attack on Kyushu and actually brought Kyushu troops back to Edo? Don’t you doubt who he doubts?

Listening to the proud words of Tsuna Hiroshi Mori, the Izu think tank twitched his hands and wanted to strangle him to death. However, after trembling for a while, Nobuzuna Matsuhira sat back on his chair again depressedly and waved his hand weakly.

"I know, please go down!"

Seeing Hiroshi Mori's sleeves go out with disdain, suddenly, Matsuhira Nobuzuki seemed to explode again, lifting up the table and smashing it hard on the ground.

This is the feeling that everyone is drunk and I am awake. In the huge Tokugawa family, he, Matsuhira Nobutsu, could understand it alone.

The Tokugawa family dominates Japan, but it is not the warring names such as Kyushu Shimazu Hosokawa Konoshima. In fact, if the families of Shimazu Hosokawa Kuroda are destroyed, there will be only benefits and no harm to the rule of the Tokugawa family. Since the Shimahara Rebellion has become a big deal, then let the Kyushu Daemen consume it, and the shogunate will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But the Mikawa Kanto is the foundation of the Tokugawa family. The common vassal and common retainers are mixed. If something goes wrong in this place, the Tokugawa family will become like the third prince of the Dragon King who has been pulled out of dragon tendons. It is half dead. Moreover, the strength of the Tokugawa family is damaged. Will these daimyos in various places be so honest?

But no one could see through this truth. In order to defend the irrelevant Kyushu Daming, Kanto came to him. If Matsuhira Nobuzu was right, Mao Jue would have been no longer in Kyushu at this time. He wanted to use a vulture hovering in the air to rush to the ground at any time to capture the unprepared Tokugawa family's head.

Unfortunately, nothing was useless to say at this time. Tokugawa Sokage from the Mito Tokugawa family had already brought reinforcements, and the Tokugawa family's confidant land was destined to be in a war.

Just as Matsuhira Nobutsu was in a decadence, the Tokugawa Shogunate attacked the troops, hurriedly hurriedly entering the Yiura County of Nagato.

What he expected was indeed correct. Just when he was taken down by the novice warrant and was sent to jail, Mao Jue had already appeared in the middle section of Japan, and the Hokuriku-nation country.

Compared to Kyushu, which has more contact with foreigners, it is obviously more closed here. The fishermen on the shore have never even seen such a large sailboat. They are fools looking at the towering figure of the Black Pearl.

More than a dozen seabirds whirlpools screamed shrillly, as if they could feel this murderous aura. A telescope slowly lowered. These days, under the warmth of the huge sea honeysuckle, they finally raised their throats, full of contempt. Mao Jue sneered in a slight sneer.
