Chapter 2354 Sun Bofu VS Shimazu Yoshihiro
Chapter 2351: Sun Bofu VS Shimazu Yoshihiro
The Song and Wu coalition forces fought in the Southern Jiuzhou totaled 50,000. The main general was Sun Ce, the descendant of the King of Wu, and the deputy general was Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of the King of Song.
As for the lineup of the generals in the army, although they are not as good as the Qin and Wei coalition forces, they are also extremely luxurious.

As for the opponent of the Song and Wu coalition forces, the Shimazu family, the overlord of the Southern Kyushu, is also not a soft persimmon.
When the Qin and Wei coalition forces fought against Kitakyushu, the reason why they did not encounter a powerful general with more than 100 Kikiwu was because the only two divine generals in Kyushu were all concentrated in the Shimazu family.
Shimazu Yoshihiro: Commander 97 (+1), Force 101 (+1), Intelligence 88, Politics 78, Charm 89; Equipment: Kneeling on his knees;
Shimazu Iehisa: Commander 93 (+1), Force 102 (+1), Intelligence 80, Politics 54, Charm 78;
The head of the Shimazu family, Yoshihiro Shimazu, is not only a famous general who is as famous as Takanobu Ryuzoji and Akira Hayabu, but also much better than his brother Yoshihiro Shimazu.
In the process of Shimazu family unifying Mikuzhou, Shimazu family''s enemies Ito, Saira, Ganfu, Asu and other forces were basically all Shimazu Yoshihiro personally led the army to destroy it, and Shimazu Yoshihiro also became an invincible name.
In addition, in addition to Shimazu Yoshihiro, his younger brother Shimazu Isaku was also a powerful general of Takashi Takabu. He once defeated the Ryuzoji Army with more than 10 times the strength of the troops in Okina''s combined battle.
The Shimazu family has two great generals. Does that mean that the Shimazu family is better than the Otomo family and the Maori family?
The answer is naturally no.
Although the Shimazu family has two gods and is indeed stronger than the two in terms of top combat power, the number of top-notch and first-class generals, as well as the combination of generals is not as high as that of Otomo Maori.
So, overall, although the strength of the Shimazu family is a little stronger than both, it is not much stronger.
In addition to Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Ikuha, the Shimazu family also has many powerful generals such as the four Shimazu brothers, Shimazu Four Heavenly Kings, and Shimazu Ten Warriors.
In addition, Nan Jiuzhou has many mountains and complex terrain.
Therefore, if the Song and Wu coalition forces want to conquer the Shimazu family, a strong attack is obviously not the best strategy. Even if they can win in the end, they may pay a considerable price, which is not conducive to the subsequent battle.
After some discussion, Sun Ce and Zhao Guangyi both decided to adopt the plan of the Eastern Wu military advisor Lu Su.
Lu Su proposed to take over the Southern Jiuzhou and deliberately set the time when the Song and Wu coalition forces were sent to the death after the Qin and Wei coalition forces captured Feiqian Kingdom.
As the gateway to the Otomo family, Hiramaeki Guo will seek help from Maori and Shimazu families if it falls. The names of the two families are not incompetent. They must know the reason why they lose their lips and teeth are cold, so they will definitely send troops to support the Otomo family.
The Maori family in Kitakyushu are not allowed to be ignored. Once the Shimazu family in Mikuishu is transferred to the north to support the troops, the local forces will definitely be empty, which naturally gives the Song and Wu coalition forces the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
As Lu Su expected, after receiving the request for help from Dayou family, Shimazu Yoshihiro, like Otomo Harue, thought that the Central Plains coalition was concentrated in Hiramae, and decisively decided to lead the army to Hiramae for support, so he took away nearly half of the domestic troops, but he did not know that the four-nation coalition forces had been preparing to divide the troops from the beginning.
The serious lack of intelligence and the lack of understanding of the enemy made Shimazu Yoshihiro make the most wrong decision in his life.
After receiving the news that Shimazu Yoshihiro went north, Sun Ce and Zhao Guangyi decisively led the 50,000 Song and Wu coalition forces to land from the Satsuma Kingdom in Southern Kyushu and directly raided the capital and inner city of the Shimazu family.
There is no distinction between inner and outer cities in the Japanese city, and the capital of Otomo family is called the inner city.
As the capital of the Shimazu family, the inner city has been transferred to nearly half of its troops, but there is still an army of 10,000.
The general responsible for guarding the inner city is Shimazu Toyohisa, the son of Shimazu Iku. Although his abilities are not as good as his uncle and father, he is also a top-notch general.
After receiving the news that the Song and Wu coalition forces landed and attacked the inner city, Shimazu Toyohiro immediately sent a message to his uncle Shimazu Yoshihiro, and moved all the people around the capital into the city, and summoned people to participate in the defense of the city, as if they were swearing to live and die together with the inner city.
Shimazu Toyohisa''s reaction was very fast, but Sun Ce, who had been prepared for a long time, moved faster.
After the 50,000 Song and Wu coalition forces landed in Pegasau Port, they did not attack Shirai Castle and Ichiuji Castle, which were close to each other, but went to the inner city of Shimazu''s capital as quickly as possible, and arrived and surrounded the inner city in just two days.
The attack and defense battle in the inner city began.
There were already 10,000 defenders in the inner city, and Toyohisa Shimazu forced civilians to defend the city, so he barely raised 30,000 defenders, but these measures were not very useful.
Although the catapults and siege crossbows of the Song and Wu armies were not as sharp as those of the Qin army, they were also decades ahead of the siege equipment of the Japan.
Although the inner city is the capital of Otomo’s family, the height and thickness of the city wall are equivalent to that of ordinary county towns in the Central Plains, so it is naturally impossible to withstand the offensive of the Song and Wu coalition forces.
Sun Ce did not let the soldiers climb to the city to fight, but instead concentrated on catapulting chariots and powerful crossbows. He attacked the inner city with a fierce attack, and then launched a general attack after giving the enemy a large enough casualties. In this way, he could minimize his casualties.
Under the offensive of the Song and Wu coalition forces, Shimazu Toyohisa defended to death for only three days, and the casualties of the defenders in the city had exceeded one-third.
Seeing that there were enough Japanese troops killed and injured, the morale of the Japanese army was reduced to a minimum, Sun Ce ordered a general attack and personally led the army to attack the city, and it took only one hour to break the city gate.
Shimazu Toyoshi saw that the city gate was broken, and he knew that the Song and Wu coalition had cavalry, so he would definitely not be able to escape even if he broke out. So he led the remaining defenders in the city, as well as the four Shimazu kings and other generals to fight the streets to fight to the death to the Song and Wu coalition''s attack, but how could he stop it?
Among the four Shimazu kings and four generals, there is a top-notch general and three first-class generals. They work together to inspire the combination of skills "Four Heavenly Kings", and they can compete with the intermediate-level gods.
But even if the four Shimazu kings join forces, they cannot last for two rounds under Sun Ceji.
The reason why they could survive one round was just because Sun Ce used the moves that he could not kill four people in a row.
