Five thousand cavalry, this is definitely a force that can determine the universe in the civil war in Japan.

But now, in less than an hour, the five thousand cavalry were all wiped out and nothing remained.

The Xia army opposite them, apart from consuming a lot of ammunition, did not suffer any casualties.

The strong smell of gunpowder smoke and the stench of blood lingered on the battlefield for a long time, making those who were still alive seem to have experienced a nightmare.

Yamada Yuei kept swallowing his saliva, staring blankly in front of the dead bodies everywhere, and suddenly felt very warm between his legs.

As a capable general of Satsuma Clan, he was scared to pee by a battle.

But he didn't realize how embarrassing he was.

Because like him, other Dongying people were also scared out of their wits.

The worst thing to say is the remaining shogunate army.

They watched the tide-like cavalry troops be wiped out with ease, and they had already lost their courage at this moment.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna's hand holding the handle of the knife kept shaking, trying hard to pull out the knife, and continued to order to fight, but he couldn't do it.

He wanted to speak, but the muscles in his neck were thumping and he couldn't control it at all.

Obviously, there are still tens of thousands of remaining shogunate troops, but now they are all turned into walking dead.

Even the bravest cavalry couldn't do anything to Xia Jun. They rushed forward, only to be slaughtered.

Even if the place Xia Jun occupied was the only way for them to get out of trouble, they didn't dare to take another look.

The shogunate troops retreated.

Back into the mountains again.

Even if it is barren and desolate inside, it cannot get any supplies.But they would rather starve to death inside than face Xia Jun.

"Master, do you want to attack?"

Wen Youdao felt that it was not enough, so he ran over to ask for instructions.

"What kind of attack? We only have this few people. Once we kill them, who will guard this place?"

Tang Wenhuan vetoed the suggestion of taking advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, but let the Lu Zhan regiment stick to Aino, but did not give the shogunate army any hope of escape.

"Send an order to the Second Marine Regiment and the Shimabara Rebel Army to harass them in the mountains from time to time, but they are not allowed to fight. I want to see how long the shogunate army can last?"

Regarding the battle situation, Tang Wenhuan was not in a hurry.

With the navy helping to cut off the connection between Kyushu and Japan's mainland, Nobuzuna Matsudaira's department is a lone army.And without any supplies, death is doomed.

As for the other daimyos on Kyushu Island, they had already secretly communicated with Xia Guo about the music, and they wished that the Tokugawa shogunate suffered heavy losses.

Songjiang Mansion.

The person in charge of the Songjiang Department of the Ministry of Intelligence rushed over and delivered important information to Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua.

"Our men lost three horses to death, and they were sent back from Fujian day and night. On the third day of June, Zheng Zhilong led all the warships and left the lair, and their whereabouts are currently unknown."

The news of Zheng's dispatch shocked everyone.

Chen Zhi is not good at military affairs, so she can only ask two generals for help.

"Is Zheng's target us?"

Zuo Hua is full of confidence.

"It can only be us."

He looked at the staff.

"The journey."

The combat staff members have already gathered together and started tense calculations.

"Reporting to the commander, according to the calculation of distance, ocean current, ship speed and many other conditions, the current position of Zheng's fleet should be here."

The combat staff's fingers were in one place.

Everyone can clearly see that it is the Zhoushan Islands.

Zuo Hua deduced many things at once.

"So that means, at the latest in the morning of the day after tomorrow, Mrs. Zheng will be able to show up in Waigaoqiao?"

The combat staff officer echoed: "If calculated according to the ample time, it should be the evening of the day after tomorrow."

Zuo Hua's face was stern.

"How did His Highness teach you? Be lenient when you expect the enemy, and strict when you expect yourself. How can you take chances?"

All the staff officers were red-faced after being taught a lesson, and quickly remembered it in their hearts.

Zuo Rong can't help with matters at sea.

"How should we respond?"

Since Zuo Hua came to Songjiang Mansion, he has been thinking about how to deal with Zheng Zhilong, so he has already made up his mind.

"No matter what, Zheng Zhilong must not be allowed to invade the land. How to defend, please brother."

Zuo Rong was a little troubled.

"Songjiang Prefecture has a long coastline, it's really hard to predict where Zheng Zhilong will attack from."

Zuo Hua has a plan in mind.

"You only need to guard a few important places, and the rest are irrelevant. Does Zheng Zhilong dare to land?"

On this point, all those present were in agreement.

Zheng's strength is at sea.

As for land warfare, the level is not as good as that of the Peasant Army.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong would never dare to set foot on land. If he was surrounded by Xia Jun, he would only die.

"Waigaoqiao, Jinshanwei, Qingcun Zhongqian, Nanhui Zhonghou, all these places. As long as you are prepared, Zheng Zhilong will never take advantage of it."

With the direction, Zuo Rong didn't panic anymore.

"Leave the land affairs to me. How do you plan to fight the sea battle?"

Zuo Hua narrowed his eyes, as dangerous as a wolf.

Since Xia Kingdom strengthened its sea trade, Waigaoqiao, which was originally a barren land, has become extremely prosperous now.Businessmen from all over the world gather here, which also drives the development of people's livelihood.

Various facilities for eating, drinking and playing are blooming here, and there is a faint trend of surpassing Songjiang Fucheng.

The owner of Shengtai Building is very satisfied with his current life, and told the waiter in the store: "Go and tell Boss Cai that there are enough goods in this store today, so don't send any more. Don't sell them all, and instead waste them."

The shop waiter agreed and went out immediately.After half an hour, come back and report.

"Boss Cai said that he knows, if there is any shortage of stock, he needs to inform immediately, so as not to delay the business."

The boss nodded, while smoking a pipe pot, his eyes swept across the port without a trace.

There were four new warships of the Xia Kingdom Navy and more than twenty old warships, which crowded the port to the brim.

After a peaceful night, Shengtai Building opened as usual the next day.

The boss got up yawning and washed slowly.

But when the mouthwash just entered his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened.Even swallowing mouthwash made him feel nothing.

"Quick! Go and tell Boss Cai that the store has run out of goods and must be replenished immediately."

The waiter let go of his legs and ran out.

Unexpectedly, this time, in less than half a stick of incense, he came back dejectedly.

"Why so fast? Can you tell Boss Cai?"

The waiter in the shop spread his hands.

"The army sealed off the port, and no entry or exit is allowed. Today's business cannot be done."

The boss sat down on the ground with a bang, looking devastated as if his family was about to be ruined.

Zuo Hua led all the warships of the East China Sea Fleet and left the port last night, and they were already floating in the open sea.

"We know that spies are planted in Fujian, so how can Zheng Zhilong not plant spies in front of our eyes? So this time we will give him Jiang Gan to steal books, and we will do whatever we can."

Zuo Hua looked at the undulating sea and showed a triumphant smile.
