Back then, when the Japanese Ryukyu Expeditionary Force attacked Shuri Castle, the two of them resolutely followed the anti-Japanese hero Wei Xiaobao to climb up the Longyan Village and jointly resist the foreign enemies.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Sancai desperately trying to catch up with his boat, Ma Fugui couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a teasing smile: "Zhang Sancai, Zhang Sancai, don't waste your energy! With your speed, how can you catch up with me? After I get ashore, "good wine and good meat" will naturally be indispensable, but I won't leave you any chance!"

Having said that, Ma Fugui knew in his heart that this battle was not that simple.

So, he pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he secretly urged his soldiers to row faster and move towards the shore.

There are more than a dozen fishing boats docked on the sea at the port beach ahead, and on these boats live some fishermen who regard the boats as their home.

At this moment, a Japanese fisherman who had just woken up came out of the cabin on a fishing boat.

When he saw the sea of ​​landing ships in front of him, he was terrified and shouted at the top of his voice: "Oh no! Pirates are attacking, quickly raise the sail and run away!"

A sudden burst of noise came from the originally silent sea, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The people who were sleeping soundly on the fishing boat were awakened one after another. They hurried out of the cabin with sleepy eyes and looked around nervously.

At this time, they saw hundreds of ships in the distance sailing towards them quickly.

They came riding on the wind and waves like ferocious beasts, quickly approaching the unsuspecting fishing boats.

The fishermen were immediately filled with fear and despair, and they secretly complained: "Oh no! The pirates are coming! These evil guys are full of evil and are capable of arson, murder, looting, and all kinds of evil. If we fall into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous..."

However, what was unexpected was that just when everyone was worried, the so-called "pirate ships" actually sped past the fishing boats, showing no signs of stopping the attack.

What is even more surprising is that the people on the ship are not wearing messy, ferocious pirate costumes as imagined; instead, they are wearing neat, uniform, and majestic military uniforms!

Faced with this strange scene, the fishermen were all shocked and confused. What kind of force would come with such a large army to attack Tosa County?

All sorts of speculations came to mind at once, and everyone was talking about it and no one could agree...

The Tokugawa Shogunate era, also known as the Japanese Warring States Period, was a time of chaos, with many heroes emerging and conflicts between different groups of people.

However, Tosa County was spared due to its special status - this place was acquired by the Tokugawa shogunate through its conquests, and naturally became the sphere of influence of the Tokugawa family.

Over the years, except for a few super daimyo who were extremely powerful and could compete with the Tokugawa family, the rest of the small and medium daimyo were unable to shake them in the slightest.

Therefore, Tosa County was protected by the Tokugawa shogunate and was able to live in peace in a corner without being devastated by the war.

Today, the sudden arrival of an army dressed in strange clothes shocked and frightened the local fishermen.

I saw the dense and huge landing fleet rushing towards the shore like a storm, ignoring the fishermen's boats, as if they did not exist in this world.

In the blink of an eye, the landing craft of the Tiandi Army rushed onto the shallows, and the soldiers jumped into the water nimbly one by one and waded ashore with all their might.

The shore was unusually quiet, as if it had been forgotten by time, with no movement at all.

Where there should have been a tight defense line, there was no trace of any defensive fortress or bunker.

The third company commander Zhang Sancai led the way and rushed into the alley like an arrow from a bow. After entering the port, he was surprised to find that the streets were empty and there was not even a single person in sight.

Zhang Sancai couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had originally planned to catch a "tongue" to ask about the situation!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the fifth company commander Ma Fugui leading his troops hurriedly coming.

"Captain Ma, don't you see any Japanese here?" Zhang Sancai hurriedly went up to him and said.

Upon hearing this, Ma Fugui's eyes flashed with urgency, and he spoke impatiently: "Then we have to act quickly and head towards the port military camp! If we are a step late, when other companies arrive, we won't be able to take the first place!"

The two men were in perfect sync and gave orders without hesitation, ordering the soldiers behind them to advance quickly towards the Tosa military camp near the port.

The soldiers marched with vigorous steps, with high morale and full of fighting spirit.

They knew very well that this fierce battle was the first battle after the brigade arrived in Japan, and the first shot was about to be fired by them.

Zhang Sancai and Ma Fugui were excited just thinking about it.

The Xiangkou Military Camp is about five kilometers away from the port. Its main responsibility is to maintain port security and guard against pirate attacks.

It may be a bit far-fetched to call it a regular army, but it is well-deserved to call it a security force.

The total number of troops in Tuyou was about 30,000. As for the exact location of these troops, the samurai guards had already found out clearly before the war.

At the same time, before the war, important military secrets about Tuyou were also transmitted to the advance camp.

There were five thousand local soldiers stationed in the military camp at the entrance of the alley, including one thousand cavalrymen, and the rest were mostly musketeers, archers, sword and shield soldiers, etc.

This army had not experienced the baptism of war for decades, and most of the soldiers came from prominent families all over Tosa. They joined the army only to seek a samurai rank.

Twenty minutes later, the two companies finally arrived at the Tosa military camp. At this moment, the wake-up drum in the military camp had just sounded, and the Tosa soldiers were still half asleep and half awake, preparing to get up with sleepy eyes.

However, at this moment, a crisp and sharp gunshot suddenly broke the silence of the early morning.

The sudden gunshot was like thunder, shocking everyone. The originally peaceful atmosphere was instantly torn apart, and the Tosa soldiers were panicked and had no time to react.

The third and fifth companies obviously did not give the enemy any time to assemble and reorganize. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the military camp, they launched a fierce attack without hesitation.

At the gate, the Tosa soldiers stood firm at their posts with solemn expressions. However, suddenly, gunshots rang out, and bullets rained down on them. They were terrified and tried to find cover, but under the fierce firepower attack, they were shot and fell to the ground, wailing one after another.

Two hundred and forty Mauser 98 rifles fired at the same time. The dense gunfire resounded through the sky, pouring down like a rainstorm.

Each bullet carried endless killing intent, fiercely hitting the defense line of the Tosa army.

In the military camp, the Tosa soldiers who had just woken up were washing and preparing for a day of training and life.

Before this, they had heard that the Heaven and Earth Alliance might attack Tosa.

However, these soldiers generally believed that it was just a feud between Princess Ling Zhao and the Tokugawa family and had nothing to do with them directly.

They firmly believed that the war would not spread to the peaceful land of Tosa, so they did not pay much attention to the matter.

However, the dense gunfire at this moment was like an alarm clock that woke them up from their dreams.

The soldiers ran out of the dormitory in panic, only to see flames and smoke at the gate. They realized that the war had come to Tosa and they had to fight to defend their homeland.

In an instant, the entire city of Kochi was shrouded in the fierce sound of gunfire, and the originally sleepy city suddenly became boiling.
