"Your Excellency, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Infantry Regiment and myself have full confidence in seizing Tuhara. Please allow my Fourth Regiment to launch a landing battle immediately!"

At sea, Yuki Yamamoto, the captain of the Fourth Infantry Regiment, was asking for battle to the Chief of Staff of the Joint Fleet.

According to the command and appointment and removal before the base camp, Chen Yourong, who served as the commander of the vanguard, was responsible for commanding the navy and the army.

In other words, Chen Yourong is the commander-in-chief of the front enemy.

Out of full trust in the chief of staff, Eunuch Wei even wrote a note that "Eunuchs and soldiers can be killed regardless of their size" to the other party to ensure that Chen Yourong's full responsibility for commanding the navy and the army.

"How sure is the captain of Yamamoto's United?"

A gang attacked Tuhara Castle, which may have thousands of people defended, and Shen Yourong was a little hesitant about this. Now that Li Dan's fleet has been destroyed, the Imperial Army has the advantage at sea. According to the pre-war plan, the third gang waiting for subsequent reinforcements will be greatly improved.

But that also means that casualties will increase greatly, because Li Dan's army in Tohara Castle will definitely repair the city before the imperial army lands.

Therefore, if the Fourth Infantry Regiment agrees to launch an attack on Tuyuan now, the defending enemy in the city will be unprepared, while the fleet will be in a panic, and you will be very confident that you can break the city in one fell swoop.

But if the city cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop, it will have a great impact on the morale of the imperial army. If it is not done well, it will affect the entire battle deployment.

"All the officers and soldiers of our Fourth Regiment will launch a strong attack on Tuyuan with the decisive decision of Yuzai. I hope you can fulfill it!"

Yukiji Yamamoto refused to fight, believing that he would never give the enemy's reaction time.

After thinking about it, Yuki Yamamoto summoned officers above the squadron to the Fourth Infantry Regiment to attend the combat meeting.

Chen Yourong means that the officers of the Fourth Infantry Regiment make their own decisions on whether to land on the offensive. After all, if an attack is launched now, the Fourth Infantry Regiment will bear the pressure of offensive and casualties alone.

If the officers object, Shen Yourong will deny Yuki Yamamoto's request to fight. Waiting for the arrival of the third registrar, casualties may increase, but at least it will ensure that the capture of Tuhara Castle is possible.

As a result, at this temporary officer meeting, 100% of the officers of the Fourth Infantry Regiment agreed to the wing captain's request to launch the attack first.

The officers showed even more fighting spirit than their corps captains.

"Then please!"

The Fourth Infantry Regiment's eagerness to fight and high spirits made Shen Yourong and repeatedly agreed to Yuki Yamamoto's request for battle.

Subsequently, the login command is passed to each ship.

The Navy immediately organized the Clippers and shelled the bombardment to places where Japanese troops might be hidden on the shore to cover the army officers and soldiers.

"It will win!"

Under the gaze of the navy, Yuki Yamamoto and a group of officers of the Fourth Regiment wore white cloth strips with the words "Wu Yun Changlong" to prove their confidence and ability in combat.

Li Dan left hundreds of people at the port before withdrawing from Tuyuan City. These hundreds of people were from Fujian Minnan who followed Li Dan to make a living on the sea. Li Dan's purpose of leaving them was to block the Ming army from ashore. The leader was Li Dan's nephew Li Si.

When he discovered that the Ming army had begun to send ships to land, Li Si immediately sent someone back to Tuhara Castle to report, and at the same time organized his subordinates to use Japanese iron guns to block the attack.

The Fourth Regiment soon started a battle with Li Si's army.

The captain of the brigade, Xu Xing, who was the former noble of the Southern Capital, led the army and finally led his troops to break through Li Si's troops and beheaded hundreds of levels.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Si immediately fled to Tuhara Castle with dozens of Japanese ronin under his command. The rest of them either fled or surrendered to the imperial army.

After handing over the prisoners to the navy, Yukiji Yamamoto led his troops to approach Tuhara Castle more than ten miles away. The guide was several Han people in southern Fujian.

The Tohara Castle was an important town in the Satsuma vassal Hinata country. During the Warring States Period, Japan, this city was fought back and forth in the hands of many heroes. Later, Li Dan rose up and was greatly helpful to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so Tokugawa Ieyasu gave Tohara Castle to Li Dan. This also made the Tohara Castle the most Chinese place after Kagoshima.

Because Chinese maritime merchants (pirates) are particularly rich, the Japanese in Kyushu marry their daughters to these Chinese people as wives. Many Chinese people have married and have children here, and some even took seven or eight concubines. At the same time, a large number of Japanese women flocked to these two cities, which also made the business of the fun market in these two places particularly prosperous. Thousands of Japanese women in Tuhara Castle alone engage in business serving the Chinese.

Therefore, Tuhara Castle is not so much a stronghold of Li Dan’s nest, but rather a stronghold of the Japanese Chinese. However, due to the special relationship of the shogunate, the Chinese here became accomplices of the shogunate.

The reason why Li Dan refused to win over the Propaganda was precisely because he and the shogunate had a mutually beneficial relationship. More importantly, Li Dan believed that he was in a reversal and mutually beneficial relationship and that the benefits he could obtain from the Ming Dynasty were not as good as the Tokugawa shogunate gave him.

Moreover, because of the old story of Wang Zhi in the past, Li Dan and others, who were essentially pirates, did not believe in their Fuguo government at all.

In addition, Li Dan and others did not think that the Imperial Army could conquer Japan.

Therefore, if they rashly surrender to the imperial army, the Tokugawa shogunate would definitely liquidate them once they win.

Unlike Yan Siqi and other Han people who participated in the rebellion, the pirate forces led by Li Dan are vested interests with families and privileges. They are naturally impossible to go to the Ming Dynasty like Yan Siqi.

The Fourth Regiment moved quickly and quickly advanced into Tuhara Castle.

Yukiji Yamamoto, 46, has been marching at the forefront of the team. Every time he takes a step forward, he feels that he is getting closer and closer to his hometown.

Not only Yuki Yamamoto, but all the officers and soldiers who were originally from the Japanese army were eager to advance.

They miss their hometown and believe in their hometown's relatives more.

And if they want to return to their hometown, they cannot fail!

"Go forward the bayonet and never retreat!"

The voice of Yamamoto's captain's voice seemed particularly deafening in the team.

At this time, the city of Tohara was still in chaos. Not only did the defenders become chaotic, but the merchants and people in the city were also chaotic.

News about the Ming army declaring war on "Karbidan" has long been spreading in the city, and the firelight from the port more than ten miles away also confirmed the news.

The defenders and residents discussed all kinds of speculations and opinions, and everyone was really in a bottom-line manner as to whether Kabidan could defeat the Ming army.

The fires at the port in the distance were still red, and the people in the city were panicked, but they were still in order because the people in the city did not think that the Ming army would attack Tuhara Castle immediately after succeeding at sea.

Li Dan himself thought so, so he was waiting for reinforcements from Tsurumaru Castle. When his nephew Li Si escaped and told him that the Ming army had already arrived and drove towards Tohara Castle, Li Dan was very shocked.
