The Japanese pirate generals responsible for defending Chikan City were Kato Yoshiaki and Hirano Nagayasu.
Both of them were powerful generals under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and were also among the people among the Seven Spears of Ken'gaku.
The so-called Seven Spears refers to the seven capable generals under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's command.
They have a collective name, the Seven Spears of Jianyue.
The other five generals followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi to defend Ishu.
This also shows that he does not attach importance to Chikan City.
In his eyes, as long as he could defend Yizhou City, the entire Yizhou Island would be in his hands.
now.
Chi embedded in the city.
Kato Yoshiaki and Hirano Nagayasu are discussing the current situation.
The latter said in a deep voice: "Once the Qin army reaches the shore, our advantage will be gone.
If we want to hold this place, we have to initiate a naval battle with the enemy."
As early as two or three hours ago, they had already received military intelligence from Yizhou City.
Therefore, under strict inspection, the troops led by Zheng Chenggong and others were naturally discovered.
The former nodded and said, “Indeed, our great Sakura Army soldiers have all been blessed by the Emperor.
On the sea, we are invincible! But... the Qin army has at least 200,000 troops.
How many people do you need to defeat them?"
Many years ago, Yizhou still belonged to the territory of Daqin.
There are tens of thousands of Qin soldiers guarding here.
However, those soldiers were rotten to the core and had no idea what fighting was.
Although the Japanese pirates sent an army of 200,000, there were only less than 10,000 actual combatants.
Moreover, they were all Japanese ronin, not a proper army at all.
As a result, the Japanese pirates relied on those 10,000 ronin to directly capture Ishu.
Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers died in their massacre.
Therefore, in their fixed thinking, the soldiers of the Qin army were not soldiers at all, but pigs.
It’s just 200,000 pigs. Even though it’s a bit tiring to kill them, it’s not impossible to kill them.
It has to be said that it is sad that until now they still hold this stereotype about the Qin State.
They never dreamed that the current Qin army soldiers were not comparable to those who previously guarded Yizhou.
"Only 50,000 will be enough! The Qin people...are nothing more than a bunch of idiots. They will be the grinding stone for us Sakura soldiers. In my eyes, they will always be vulnerable!"
Hirano Nagayasu said this with an extremely arrogant look.
He had no idea what kind of enemy he was about to face.
Zheng Chenggong, a famous general in naval battles; Huo Qubing, who drank from the Hanhai Lake and sealed the Wolf's Lair; Zhao Zilong of Shijiazhuang, who went in and out seven times and was able to fight on equal terms with peerless generals.
These three will teach him how to be a good person in his next life.
......
Outside Yizhou City.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi is indeed a famous general of Japan.
When they learned that the Qin army was about to attack.
He set up three lines of defense in succession.
The first line consisted of two generals, Fukushima Masanori and Kasaya Takenori, who led 80,000 naval troops on the sea to resist Huo Guang.
I have to say that Toyotomi Hideyoshi still had some self-awareness.
He knew very well that it was unrealistic to completely keep the Qin army out of the island.
Therefore, he settled for the second best and planned to use the first line of defense to consume the main force of the Qin army.
The second line of defense was built by Katagiri Katsumoto on the ground along the coast.
This defense was mainly to delay the Qin army's landing.
The third line of defense, and the most important one, is for him to personally guard Yizhou City.
As long as the first and second lines can delay time, he can quickly improve the city's defense strength.
After all, it takes some time to prepare traps, arrows, and other things.
But how could Huo Guang give him this opportunity?
When he encountered the first line of defense set up by the Japanese pirates on the sea, he guessed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's idea:
"The enemy only sent tens of thousands of men and they want to fight us to the death? That's like hitting a rock with an egg! Their real goal is to make us fear the Japanese pirates' combat capabilities on the sea.
This will slow down our attack! How can I let him do what he wants? Order all warships to engage the enemy ships!
Thus, the first battle of the Yizhou Campaign began.
All the Qin army soldiers rushed towards the Japanese pirates.
First, artillery fire cleared the way, and then countless arrows were shot at the Japanese pirates.
Before this, Fukushima Masanori naively thought that the Qin army was still the same as before.
It just looks scary because of the large number of people.
In other words, it is a useless piece of wood that is only good looking but useless.
However, when he saw the dense artillery and arrow attacks, he gradually began to panic.
This time, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was obviously much higher than he had expected.
"Baga! Fight back! Get close to the Qin warships! Sink them!"
Fukushima Masanori roared hysterically.
The biggest advantage of the Japanese pirate army is its water combat capability, and their ships are relatively flexible.
The second is the Bushido spirit that they believe in, which, to put it bluntly, is fearlessness of death and suicide attacks.
He originally thought that the Qin army would be frightened when they saw his reckless fighting style.
However, what he did not expect was that in the face of the aggressive attack of their own warships, the Qin army not only did not hide, but instead rushed towards their own warships.
In the Qin army camp.
