Chapter 34: Muromachi surrenders
"All the troops are attacking!" I gave the order loudly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Suddenly, the gate of the city was opened, and the front army marched out of the city, and with the sound of a loud command, four infantry divisions in the front and four infantry divisions began to advance, rushing towards the army of the Muromachi Kingdom. The two cavalry divisions, on the other hand, were lined up on both sides of the infantry and advanced together.
"Down with the Muromachi Kingdom! Long live the Yayoi Kingdom! "The roar shook the mountains, the swords were like mountains, the swords were like forests, and the guns were like rain, and more than two million soldiers were overwhelmingly heading towards the place where the army of the Muromachi Kingdom was located, covering the past.
In particular, the cavalry divisions on both sides of the infantry division had excellent mobility, quickly overtaking the infantry division, and like a tide, they launched a flank attack on the soldiers of the Muromachi Kingdom.
"Shoot!" This was the archers in the rear of the infantry division who shot arrows, and more than 100,000 bows and arrows, like a metal rain, fell from the sky and took away a large number of enemy lives.
For a time, the soldiers of the Muromachi Kingdom were as fragile as paper paste, and they didn't even have time to shout for help, so they were strangled into powder by the Yayoi soldiers, even men and horses. This is the most terrible nightmare, the soldiers of the Muromachi Kingdom did not expect that the soldiers of Yayoi actually reacted so violently under their 'admonition', according to their original thoughts, the soldiers of Yayoi should not kowtow and admit their mistakes and beg for mercy, right?
The soldiers in the back row of the Muromachi Kingdom were immediately frightened when they saw that the previous army had been defeated so completely, and tried to turn around and run, but no matter how fast they ran, could they outrun the horses? It just made them rout a little faster.
Crazy, crazy, it's the first time I've seen Yayoi's army, like today, like a madman, slashing and slashing in a disorderly manner, full of flaws, but every impact, it brings up bright red waves, and the original yellow dirt has now turned into a scarlet patch, and it can really be said that it is a river of blood.
Unlike the previous battles, this war did not leave a single living mouth, and even, on the body of every soldier of the Muromachi Kingdom, the Yayoi army, which was surrounded by fear and hatred, cut more than ten or twenty wounds. Some soldiers even disemboweled the soldiers of the Muromachi Kingdom, dug out the internal organs, and hung them on trees. I didn't stop all this, and I didn't dare to stop it.
"Please, Metropolitan Governor, allow us to kill all the lackeys of Muromachi!" Groups of divisions began to consciously organize themselves into teams and asked me for instructions.
"Accurate!" Looking at the leaders of the divisions with red eyes, I pushed the boat down the river, to be honest, I really couldn't imagine that the impact of the Edo Monarchy's sacrifice on the soldiers was so great.
Fukui Castle, Ishikawa Castle, in front of the Yayoi army who are not afraid of death, can't last a day, and then there is the so-called slaughter of the city, and even a tooth for a tooth, a sacrifice, which makes me sick to my stomach, this is the first time I have encountered such a terrifying and disgusting scene, now, even if I order, it is forbidden to kill ordinary city citizens, and where I am, it is true that there will be no more massacres, but in other places, it can be said that there is no way to live, this is naked Yin Feng Yang violation.
If it weren't for the fact that the commander of the Muromachi Kingdom mentioned the word sacrifice, how could the Yayoi army be so uncontrollable and frenzied to slaughter the city.
Fortunately, after the slaughter of Ercheng, the mood of the soldiers became more stable, otherwise, I was really afraid of killing the red-eyed soldiers and accidentally killing me who dissuaded them from killing.
It's the height of summer, and waves of heat are constantly rushing towards the soldiers galloping on horseback, but this can't dampen the passion of the soldiers.
At this moment, someone was outside the carriage and announced loudly: "The Governor of Qiyu, Officer Matsuda Kenhide has returned, saying that there is an urgent military situation to ask for a meeting." ”
I was sleeping in a daze, I wanted to jump up and cut people with a knife, it was too bad, since I came to the Muromachi Kingdom, I hadn't slept a day, and I climbed the mountain a few days ago; finally captured Tianya City, but found that someone had absconded, and he attacked the city overnight; After the siege of the city, the army of the Muromachi Kingdom attacked the city, and it was not easy to inspire the soldiers to kill the enemy, and the battle situation was also ideal; But I didn't expect that the encouragement was too much, and the soldiers below couldn't even take care of resting, and they were going to attack Fukui Castle and Ishikawa Castle directly. Now that I can finally rest, someone has come to disturb me, how can I repair!
After carefully arranging my clothes, I got out of the carriage and was immediately followed by a group of soldiers.
"What's going on? Matsuda-kun, aren't you going to conquer the Southern Regions? Why did you come back so soon? Don't tell me, the entire Southern Regions have been taken! I held back the tiredness in my heart and pretended to be energetic.
Matsuda Kenhide said with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry, Metropolitan Governor, the Southern Regions haven't been taken yet, but something important happened that made me have to leave this matter behind and come to you!" ”
"Oh, don't you have a herald in your ranks? You want to come here and give the order yourself? My tone was a little disgruntled.
"This, I'm sorry, the matter is more important, I don't worry about the general signal soldiers, I'm afraid that they will delay the big thing, or be obstructed by others, delaying your action!" Matsuda Kenhide said embarrassedly.
"Nothing?" My expression became solemn, "Tell me, what is the big deal, it actually made you, the division commander, feel uneasy, and personally run back." ”
Despite being in a heavily guarded carriage, Matsuda muttered carefully to my ear.
"What!" I exclaimed, then immediately lowered my voice and asked in a low voice, "King Muromachi is defecting?!" ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Matsuda replied, "Not long ago, a cavalry squad from the Muromachi Kingdom came to contact our troops, saying that they were willing to surrender to us and asked if we were willing to accept it. Of course, I was afraid that there would be fraud in this, so I didn't dare to agree, so I could only reply that we needed time to think about it. However, the Muromachi Kingdom seemed to be in a hurry, and just half an hour earlier, twenty-three waves of envoys were sent in a row to ask questions, and finally they even took the initiative to reveal some information about the Edo Monarchy to us. So, I believe, they really want to surrender. But at the same time, we don't dare to make the decision, so we can only ask Your Excellency the Grand Governor whether we can accept the surrender of the king of Muromachi. ”
"Now, if the king of Muromachi really wants to surrender, why don't you come to me to hand over the surrender, but come to you?" I asked, confused.
"Well, the Muromachi Kingdom sent a lot of teams to you to submit the surrender, but every time someone came, before they arrived, they were already killed by us, and they didn't even have time to speak, so they came to me!" Matsuda Kenhide said with a wry smile.
"Why, all of a sudden, would they want to surrender? Didn't you say that reinforcements from the Edo Monarchy were coming soon? If they dare to surrender, aren't they afraid that the Edo monarchy will blame them? I asked three questions in a row.
"This, there are three reasons, one of them, the two army commanders of Takeda Chiyo and Gen Yoshimitsu, have already won twenty-six cities, plus the nineteen cities you have taken, as well as the twelve southern cities that received Kameda Ryotaro's letter, and have also replied to express their willingness to surrender, and now the Muromachi Kingdom, there are only three cities left, and it is absolutely impossible to resist our army's advance!" Matsuda Kenhide said, "Second, the news of your slaughter and sacrifice has reached the Muromachi Imperial Castle, and the current Muromachi Kingdom is in a panic! ”
"The most important thing is: the commander of the Edo monarchy, every time he passes, he will receive a banquet from the lord of that castle, and now he is still in Hyogo Castle in the middle of the Three Tombs Kingdom, spending all day and drinking! When the reinforcements arrived, the daylily was cold! Matsuda Kenhide said with a strange face.
Matsuda Kenhide's words completely dispelled my doubts, and at the same time, I became more and more dissatisfied with the Edo Monarchy, with such an unsuccessful commander, even if the Edo Monarchy's team was strong, what could I be afraid of? Take a saying on the earth: a flock led by a tiger can defeat a tiger led by a sheep!
"Now, where is the emissary of the Muromachi Kingdom?" I asked, flipping through the map of the troops.
"Hoshino Castle right here, about six kilometers away from you." Kenhide Matsuda quickly found the location of Hoshino Castle on the map, "If you set off on horseback, it will take you at least ten minutes to get there." ”
Listening to Matsuda Kenhide's words, I put on my battle armor, got my head out of the carriage and shouted, "Arata Endo! ”
"Yes, Grand Duke!" Outside the door, a guard answered.
"Prepare horses for me, order the troops, camp on the spot, and by the way, notify the commander of the Yayoi Takuto Legion, as well as the two division commanders of Egawa Hayato and Yayoi Yuki!" I smiled heartily.
Endo Shin was a little puzzled in his heart, isn't he going to march towards Muromachi Royal Castle now? How can the adults ask the army to stop, camp on the spot, and prepare their own horses? But he still did not hesitate to carry out the order, brought my mount, and at the same time sent someone to inform the commander of the Yayoi Takuto Regiment, Egawa Hayato and Yayoi Yuki, the two division commanders.
It didn't take long for Takuto Yayoi, Hayato Egawa, and Yuki Yayoi to arrive in a hurry.
"Metropolitan Governor, is there an emergency military situation?" As soon as I got out of the carriage, Yayoi Takuto, Egawa Hayato, and Yayoi Yuki asked impatiently.
I looked at Matsuda Kenhide outside the carriage, Matsuda Kenhide shook his head and whispered, "I only informed you of this news, and the others, I dare not tell you without your permission." ”
I glanced at him appreciatively. Although Takuto Yayoi and Yuki Yayoi are members of the royal family, he refuses to share information with others without his permission, which is very commendable, and it can be said that it is much better than those who find the assassin (Akishino snow marks) but turn a blind eye.
"Tuorenjun, when I go to Xianxiujun, the troops will be temporarily under your command!" I ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Legion Commander!" Yayoi Takuto was stunned for a moment and said, while glaring angrily at Matsuda Kenhide, expressing dissatisfaction with his reluctance to tell him the truth, "However, our army has not yet been able to fully control this area of the Muromachi Kingdom, and there are scouts to report, and there are still many scattered Muromachi soldiers moving around, please be sure to pay attention to safety, or let Yuki accompany you!" ”
