The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1671 Three Days, Three Days to Conquer Makuzaki!
In South Samoa, the chaos in the city has been quelled.

Sitting in the main hall, where the bloodstains had not yet been washed away, Jiang Sheng tapped the table and said, "Now that we have conquered Southern Samo, what are your opinions?"

"General, although we have captured this place, the Satsuma Domain will certainly not give up easily. If they regroup and fight again, we will have no reinforcements and may be caught in a bitter battle!"

Looking at Jiang Sheng before them, many generals were thinking, "Why don't we just plunder South Samo?"
"Makurazaki must already know about our actions. If we send troops, we will not only have to face the Shimazu clan, but we may also be surrounded from two sides. It would be better to retreat now and teach the Satsuma Domain a lesson!"

Looking at Jiang Sheng, a composed captain couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but frown.
He believed that even if they conquered southern Satsuma, the Shimazu clan might not necessarily submit, since their core forces had not been harmed.

Just as Jiang Sheng was pondering, Zhang Cheng, who had entered the main tent because of his bravery in battle, came out and said, "General, Makizaki only has two thousand men. Give me eight hundred men, and I will conquer Makizaki in five days!"

"Eight hundred? Are you sure?"

Jiang Sheng stared at Zhang Cheng in shock, completely stunned by those words.

Not only Jiang Sheng, but everyone in the entire tent was stunned.
When you conquered South Samoa, everyone knew you were fierce, but you had 500 men against 2,000. Didn't you think you were treating the enemy like they were human?

"Three days! Capture Makugasaki in three days! If you cannot do so, then issue a military order!"

Looking at Jiang Sheng with a serious expression, Zhang Cheng immediately cupped his hands and spoke, his face full of earnestness.

"You should know that there is no joking in the military!"

Looking sternly at Zhang Cheng, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but shout angrily.

You should know that Zhang Cheng was a promising general in his eyes, but now he actually said such a thing. If this is not youthful arrogance, what is it?
"Reporting to the General, if eight hundred men cannot capture Zhenqi within three days, you may execute me!"

Zhang Cheng looked at Jiang Sheng with a serious expression, his face filled with earnestness.
Because in Kyushu Island as scheduled, Zhang Cheng can proudly say that even without completing the "transfer," he is still invincible.
After all, can you expect a 1.34-meter-tall "dwarf" to jump up and hit his knee?

Moreover, not only are they short, but they are also weak in combat.

Apart from the samurai and foot soldiers supported by the daimyo, the rest of the soldiers were basically serfs. These soldiers would have a hard time fighting their own people, let alone fighting Krieg!
What enabled Oda Nobunaga to march on Kyoto? It was his arquebuses and his recruited foot soldiers.
These are armed soldiers supported by the Oda clan, not serfs pulled from the fields!

The Tokugawa clan has devised numerous "targeting" plans in order to suppress the daimyo.
You want to raise an army? Do you think the Tokugawa clan is just for show?
That's why Zhang Cheng dared to attack Zhenqi with 800 men; after all, the Zheng family's soldiers were genuine "pirates"!

If you ask them to help you attack the city, they might not be guaranteed to win. But if you say, "Once you take Makuzaki, you won't be able to stop fighting for three days," then I'm sorry, they'll dare to charge forward even if it's a howitzer, let alone a musket!

"Alright, I'll give you eight hundred. If you can't take Makuzaki, you don't need to come back!"

Looking seriously at Zhang Cheng, Jiang Sheng immediately slammed his hand on the table.

"Yes, General!"

With his hands clasped in front of him, Zhang Cheng smiled broadly, showing no sign of nervousness about the upcoming battle.

After leaving the castle tower, Han Meng found Zhang Cheng and said, "Cheng-ge, are you crazy? How can eight hundred men attack Makurazaki?"

"Captain, don't panic. You've seen the fighting strength of the Satsuma Domain today. How does it compare to ours?"

With a broad smile, Zhang Cheng looked at Han Meng and couldn't help but ask,

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Han Meng hesitated for a long time before saying, "Apart from the arquebusiers and well-trained warriors, the rest of the men are indeed rather incompetent!"

"Since you know they've faltered, why don't we take the opportunity to plunder more? All we need to do is get the Satsuma Domain to back down!" Zhang Cheng smiled, looking at Han Meng.
"But it is indeed dangerous for 800 men to attack Makurazaki. There are not only garrison troops there, but also the Shimazu clan's fleet."

When speaking to Zhang Cheng, Han Meng was still very worried about his choice.

"Don't worry, I never fight a battle I'm not sure I can win!"

Looking at Han Meng with a serious expression, Zhang Cheng truly didn't take the Satsuma Domain seriously.

After all, no matter how capable the Shimazu clan is, can they be more troublesome than Murong Ke?

Back then, he was able to defeat the Xianbei Murong clan to the point of having no "surname," and now he can sweep through the entire Satsuma Domain with only eight hundred men!
Zhang Cheng: The Samo Grand Stage, come if you dare!

Due to the impending attack on Makurazaki, Zhang Cheng was temporarily promoted to acting commander.
Although it was a substitute, Zhang Cheng knew that as long as he defeated Makizaki, the Zheng family would eventually discover his hidden talent!
Li Shimin could seize the throne with eight hundred men, Zhu Di could quell the rebellion with eight hundred men, and he could still conquer the Satsuma Domain with eight hundred men, just like he could conquer it by looking at student IDs with eight hundred men!
As night fell, the campfire crackled and popped.
Standing before approximately eight hundred men, Zhang Cheng, dressed in the uniform of a centurion with a sword at his waist, revealed his youthful face and said, "Gentlemen, you must recognize me! My name is Zhang Cheng. My parents passed away in a storm four years ago, and I was raised by the Prince of Yanping's mansion."

"Now that His Highness is in trouble, can we stand idly by?"

Scanning the crowd below, Zhang Cheng's eyes fixed on them as he said, "Although we only have eight hundred men, Makurazaki only has two thousand defenders. If we take Makurazaki in one battle, we will not stop fighting for three days. This is my promise to you all!"

"Three days without sheathing the sword, really? Can the general win?"

"Brother Cheng, are you kidding me? You won't sheathe your sword for three days?"

"Only two thousand Japanese pirates, that's not a lot!"

"If that's the case, I feel like we could win!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, Zhang Cheng drew his sword and said seriously, "We're setting off tomorrow. Makuzaki will definitely send troops to block our retreat. This is an opportunity, and a golden chance for everyone to make a fortune."

"If we encounter the enemy, I will charge first. If I fail to break through the Japanese pirates, my uncles and elders may retreat. What do you say?"

With a serious expression, Zhang Cheng looked down at the crowd.

But when he aggravated his wound, his entire body contorted in a ferocious expression.
Because this kind of pain is so stimulating to the nerves.
"I'll listen to you, Cheng-ge'er. I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Standing up, Lin Qing looked at him with a helpless expression.
Because he hadn't expected that Zhang Cheng would become a centurion after only two battles, and now he was going to fight Makizaki with only eight hundred men.

It's a gamble, but what if you actually win?

You have to understand that Makurazaki is Kagoshima's port to the outside world. If they capture it, then if they don't stop fighting within three days, everyone will be in trouble!
"Fight! So what if there are only two thousand men? Damn it, the Yanping Prince's Mansion has never been afraid of fighting Japanese pirates!"

"Yes, beat them up! They're only two thousand people!"

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, many of his uncles and elders also shouted, because in their eyes, there was no such thing as fear.

I've become a pirate, why would I be afraid of you, you Japanese pirate?

Looking at the excited crowd below, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile, because the advantage in this battle lay with him!
The enemy numbered a mere two thousand, while he had a full eight hundred!

Along the rugged mountain path, reinforcements arriving from Zhenqi are advancing rapidly.
To be honest, it was already quite fast for Makurazaki to receive the news on the same day and deploy troops the next morning.
After all, can you expect a group of serfs to finish their work in the fields and immediately go to war with you?
And to make matters worse, they have to provide their own food.
This is even more outrageous than being a conscript!
However, just as the main force of the Japanese pirates was advancing, a young figure appeared in the distance, carrying a horse-slaying sword, waiting for them to appear!
