Da Ming started to ascend the throne

When Chito of the Marine Corps heard that the main force of the Satsuma Domain stationed in Amami Island was in Houshan, he immediately ordered the troops to go to Houshan.

"My lord, you can leave Sister Jimmy here, we are going to fight."

At this time, more than a dozen Ming troops who protected Jimei also rushed over, and they wanted to participate in the battle.

They came out to fight and do meritorious deeds. The two girls are now safe and do not need protection at all.

"No, since you promised Jimmy, you must not let them have any more accidents. You stay in the Satsuma Army Camp and pay attention to safety."

Qianhu Yang Ming flatly rejected their request, and led the Daming Marine Corps to the back mountain.

According to Xiumei, the main force of the Satsuma domain is not far from here.

They should have heard gunshots and must rush over to eliminate them immediately.

But after walking for less than two miles, they found many torches and the sound of horseshoes in front of them.

"Attention everyone, it should be the main force of the Satsuma clan stationed in Amami Island."

Seeing the appearance of many torches and the sound of galloping horses, Yang Ming guessed that reinforcements from the Satsuma clan had arrived.

He looked around and ordered immediately:

"Quickly, set up an ambush on the high places on both sides. Once you find them entering the ambush circle, wipe them all out."

"Yes"

The soldiers of the Ming army immediately dispersed to the mountains and forests on both sides, and quickly took positions suitable for shooting.

As soon as this side was ready, the group of torches entered the ambush circle, with about 100 cavalry and 200 infantry.

This army is the Satsuma clan's garrison on Amami Island, and the leader is Mutou Shimadzu, who is the Japanese Ashgaru general.

For example, those who guard Shuli in Ryukyu are Fantou, whose rank is higher than that of Wutou, equal to the cavalry general.

Hearing gunfire from the direction of the patrol team, Shimadzu thought that there was a riot in the villagers, so he immediately gathered people and rushed to the military camp where the patrol team was stationed.

How could they not have thought that the Ming army was coming.

Since the occupation of Ryukyu in 1609, except for the Ryukyu people's resistance and fighting, no other country's troops have come here.

Even those rampant pirates have never thought of Amami Island.

After the Satsuma Domain occupied Ryukyu, they were worried about the retaliation of the Ming Dynasty. On the surface, Ryukyu was still controlled by the Shang family.

They did not expel King Shangfeng of Ryukyu, nor overthrew the Ryukyu regime. They actually firmly controlled Ryukyu behind the scenes.

After so many years, Daming has never asked about Ryukyu affairs, nor sent troops to drive away Satsuma.

The Satsuma clan thought that Ming had completely given up on Ryukyu. How could they have imagined that Ming would suddenly send troops to Ryukyu? They were not prepared at all.

This is why there are no forts on Amami Island, only a few hundred troops stationed there.

The back mountain is their military base. Although there are many mountains and forests here, there is a wide road.

Shimadzu led the army to rush to the patrol team for support, never expecting that the Ming Marine Corps had already ambushed on both sides of the road.

"Shoot, hit me hard..."

Seeing that the soldiers behind Satsuma Fan had already entered the firing range, Yang Ming gave an order, and the gunshots erupted immediately.

"Bang bang..."

"Puff puff……"

The Minnie bullets spun rapidly and penetrated into the soldiers of Satsuma Fan, and dozens of soldiers were killed in an instant.

Shimadzu was taken aback:

"What's going on? Hurry up and fight."

Under his command, the Satsuma soldiers immediately lined up and raised their guns to shoot.

"Bang bang..."

As the Vulcan guns in their hands spurted out anger, Shimadzu was surprised to find that his subordinates were shot and fell down one after another.

How did he know that the Ming army's rifled guns had a range of more than 200 steps, and their Vulcan guns were only about 100 meters away, and they couldn't touch the Ming army's hairs at all.

Seeing that the form was wrong, Shimadzu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to find a place to hide.

"Quick, find cover."

Before the words were finished, Shimadzu found that many wooden handles and iron lumps had fallen beside them.

Before they understood what was going on, the grenade began to explode violently, and the soldiers of Satsuma were immediately blown to pieces.

Soon there were only more than 300 people left in the team of more than 100 people who could still fight.

Shimadzu couldn't help becoming angry:

"Warriors, draw your samurai swords and charge up to kill them."

Matchlock guns are too troublesome, so simply rush up and kill the opponent, or you will be killed by the opponent if you don't rush.

What annoyed Shimadzu the most was that more than 200 Satsuma soldiers died, and he still didn't know who shot them.

More than 100 Satsuma warriors threw away their Vulcan spears one after another, drew their samurai swords and rushed towards the mountains and forests on both sides.

"Court death, shoot and kill them!"

With a big wave of Yang Ming's hand, the rifle spewed out anger again, and those Satsuma soldiers who had just rushed a few steps were blown out of their heads.

"Bang bang..."

The gunshots kept ringing, like a death scythe harvesting life, and the Satsuma soldiers fell one after another.

"Quick retreat, this battle cannot be fought."

"boom……"

But before he finished speaking, Yang Ming raised his hand and shot Shimadzu's head in the head.

"Attach the bayonet, charge"

With an order, the Daming marines loaded bayonets and rushed out of the forest, instantly surrounding dozens of Satsuma soldiers.

The Marine Corps of the Ming Dynasty wore camouflage uniforms, completely different from the previous Ming Army.
