The small battles in this area of Kofu lasted for six or seven days, and during these days, Xue Ke would routinely pour artillery bombardment on the Japanese defense line in Kofu almost every day, without committing even a single assault battalion.

Even if the commanders of the armies of various countries have found Xue Ke and don't know how many times they have invited generals, Xue Ke just won't fight.

Of course, Xue Ke wanted to quickly conquer the Kofu defense line, in this way, he would be able to give Kyoto Ashikaga Yoshimitsu much less time to arrange the Kyoto defense line, and it might be helpful for the next larger-scale decisive battle, but Xue Ke's idea was completely different from that of the staff officer.

"When Ben Shuai was in Nanyang, I remember that there was a so-called Pengjia country, when the shelling lasted for nearly ten days, and the island country of Pengjia was blown into wasteland and ruins, and guess what."

Facing his staff officer, Xue Ke boasted: "Not only did the Pengjia country die, but even the chaotic island countries around him, such as Kelantan and Floan, all surrendered to Ben Shuai, and it was useless to have a soldier, Ben Shuai forced to land on dozens of islands and conquered hundreds of thousands of barbarians." ”

The staff officer suddenly realized: "Xue Shuai, this is what he wants to use artillery to deter the Japanese in Kyoto?" ”

"People are afraid, and the so-called fanaticism can temporarily suppress fear and burst out a good will to fight, but when they find that the enemy they face is far more powerful than they imagined, once the fanaticism cools down, the fear of rebound will be several times stronger, which is commonly known as frightening."

Xue Ke smiled confidently, as if everything was under his control.

"The first day of the artillery bombardment was the largest, but not a single enemy deserter was found, and today, we just routinely fired a round of artillery, and Ben Shuai saw dozens of panicked figures, the so-called Kofu defense line opposite, is already a stone's throw away from the collapse, once Kofu collapses, these deserters will bring fear back to Kyoto.

Their bullshit emperor is just a fifteen-year-old child, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is just a great general who inherits the foundation of his ancestors, and the emperor of Han Xian and the butcher of He, what is there to worry about. ”

Xue Ke's words were just as he wanted to see, the command office of the Jiafu defense line, Zhen Qiying had already smelled the smell of the apocalypse.

"Today, a total of more than 130 people have turned their backs on the holy god of sunshine and become shameful deserters."

Harano Saburo's cheeks were hot, and he reported shamefully: "Your Excellency Zhenqi, I have betrayed your trust, please punish me." ”

In the face of Harano Saburo's plea, Zhen Qiying no longer had any expression fluctuations on his face, just quietly wiped the Tang knife in his hand, and then picked open his shirt, revealing his sturdy torso.

"You and I both know that the defense line of Jiafu is over, we can't hit the Ming army, but they can keep bombing us, the really terrible, the artillery shells of the Ming army seem to be inexhaustible, the will of the sons and daughters is not a meteorite after all, there is no way to do it."

In the face of Zhen Qiying's despair, Harano Saburo persuaded him with a lamentation: "Your Excellency, why don't you let me rush with the surviving elite, even if I die, I hope that I can die on the road of charging, instead of being blown up alive like this, or even scared to death." ”

"No!"

Zhen Qiying resolutely refused: "At present, the morale of the Erlang people has been completely exhausted, and once the charge fails, the whole army will inevitably collapse and flee for their lives, and then this panic will be transmitted to the camp in Kyoto, and we will all fall for the tricks of the marshal of the Ming army."

Therefore, now I order you, with the army, to evacuate Kofu in an orderly manner, return to Kyoto to put things in order, and control them while their will has not completely collapsed, so that this panic will not be transmitted to Kyoto. ”

"What about you?" Saburo Harano was stunned, looked at Zhen Qiying, and his heart was already stunned.

Zhen Qiying laughed miserably: "Me? Of course, I will die to thank the Emperor for his kindness, Harano-kun, please be my intermediary. ”

After that, without hesitation, he stabbed the tip of the knife into his lower abdomen, and pulled it horizontally, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

Under the severe pain, Zhen Qiying's whole body trembled violently, but he gritted his teeth and raised the knife again.

This time, it was a vertical cut.

Cross seppuku, this is the last glory that belongs to a samurai.

After completing the tragic cross seppuku, the organs in Zhen Qiying's body were exposed, and the bloody hideous horror was precisely the lifelong pursuit of the Japanese samurai.

Use seppuku to prove to the emperor and the god of sunshine that their internal organs are still bright red and sincere.

Zhen Qiying's eyes suddenly died, but her body was still in a kneeling position and did not fall.

Harano Saburo was silent for a long time, stepped forward to pick up the treasure knife that Zhen Qiying used to cut his abdomen, silently wiped away a few drops of blood, put the knife into the sheath, and turned around and left the headquarters.

This knife should be brought back to Kyoto and returned to the Maki family, and the surviving sons should be brought back to Kyoto to be rectified.

The one-month garrison period set by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu before the war, they only lasted less than half a month.

Therefore, the fate of Saburo Harano will inevitably be like Zhen Qiying, only seppuku is the only way out.

The defense line of Jiafu in front of Xue Ke ended its mission.

On the night of the same day, Saburo Harano took the remaining Japanese troops, relying on the darkness of the night, without even firing torches, and fled along the criss-crossing trenches to Kyoto in the dark.

Early the next morning, after the scouts who were conducting routine reconnaissance found out, only an empty Japanese position remained in front of Xue Ke.

"It's pretty fast."

The combat boots stepped on the defense line of Jiafu as he wished, Xue Ke glanced around, and laughed loudly: "A group of Dongying Japanese robbers, who dare to use their mantis arms as a car to stop me Xuanhe Wang Shi, and the grasshoppers shake the trees, it is really ridiculous." ”

Unlike Xue Ke's happiness, the staff officer still fulfilled his duty and poured a basin of cold water worriedly.

"There was no movement in the retreat of tens of thousands of people, which shows that the morale and will of this army have not been completely blown up, and they are retreating to Kyoto rather than fleeing back to Kyoto."

Whether to retreat or not to flee means that Xue Ke's strategic goal has not been achieved.

"It's Ben Shuai who underestimated this group of dwarves."

When any nation is about to be wiped out, the willpower and tenacity attributes that can burst out are extremely powerful, especially the Chrysanthemum Dynasty, which lasted for thousands of years, is far more effective than China in cohesion and morale.

China is a flowing dynasty is easier, so China's dynastic symbols are far less impressive than the imprint of civilization symbols, and the common people's respect for the royal family will only be embraced when the policies of the ruling royal family are more beneficial to the people.

Once there is tyranny, the common people will rise up to overthrow this family and surname of the world.

China is constantly emerging state power under the civilization of the big framework, while Japan is just a country. For example, Japan's first fantasy of the history of the origin of the nation, myths and legends of the "Kojiki" is all written in Chinese characters, and the Japanese cultural experience of Buddha and worship to the gods were originally from China.

If we take the inheritance of civilization as the root of a country and a nation, Japanese civilization itself is a child and a side branch continuation of Chinese civilization, of course, but this child is a white-eyed wolf that cannot be fed, that is another matter.

However, this kind of civilization is far from being able to exist for a long time as a country with a system of formation, so it is much easier for Japan to be civilized than for China.

At the same time, when we came into contact with Western civilization, Japan could carry out the Meiji Restoration, but China could not, because we have an extremely ancient and inherited Yanhuang civilization, and we cannot overthrow all the civilized ways of existence that we have been accustomed to in order to build a so-called country with great skills for quick success.

Whoever wants to do this is bound to become the enemy of all the descendants of Yan Huang, there is no doubt about it.

China and Japan are different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Unable to destroy all the fighting will of the Japanese army on the Kofu defense line, Xue Ke was certainly a little disappointed, but it was only a momentary matter.

"Ben Shuai, I can already vaguely see what they call Heianjing."

Looking into the distance, Xue Ke took a deep breath of enjoyment.

Even though the air was filled with muddy gunsmoke and blood.

"Xue Shuai, on the battlefield, there are still thousands of disabled Japanese soldiers who have no time to escape, how to deal with them?"

The staff officer remembered this again and asked in a low voice.

"What is the value of being disabled?"

Xue Ke didn't open his eyes, and said indifferently: "Let those soldiers deal with it." ”

Since the army set foot in Japan, the 50,000 Ming troops in the army have not participated in the killing of prisoners or the massacre of local areas.

The violence and bestiality of human nature are a beast of prey, and killing, raping, and snatching are like feeding the flesh and blood essence of this beast, which will make this evil beast grow rapidly.

In the end, the hearts of the people were completely filled, and these 50,000 Ming soldiers could not return to the native Central Plains.

In the southwest, because the Ma army was too ruthless, too poisonous, and too desperate, the nearly 100,000 Ming soldiers in the entire southwest camp can now only be stationed in the distant Isgreen Fort.

Almost all of these people have participated in at least one or two massacres.

The army of kings, which had been cultivated for many years, had long since become a killing machine as inhumane as the Mamluks.

In the eyes of this army, except for Zhu Yunwen, no one is worth mentioning.

Even crazier than the SS during World War II.

Because they have already completed self-hypnosis deep in their hearts, they recognize that these achievements that make them satisfied are all achieved under the leadership of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor.

It's a terrible thing.

After this army has realized all its value in Isgreen Castle, the Ming Dynasty will never raise a second such army.

Zhu Yunwen would never allow a hawk falcon like Ma Dajun to use this method to train a strong army.

It's not that this group of soldiers will counterattack the Ming Dynasty after losing their reason, but once these soldiers retire and return to China, this kind of aggressiveness will make them a dangerous factor that will cause disaster to local stability and the safety of the people.

Not every soldier can become a tycoon, because because of the indulgence of their military years, their life after retirement is likely to be out of place and quickly impoverished.

It is true that each of them is a hero who defends the country, but the country cannot always be provided by the ancestors, and they can be given as much as they want.

Without money, when encountering some difficult family pressures in life, these wolf soldiers who have committed massacres and robberies in foreign lands are likely to be affected by their basic sanity and morality.

"Yes."

The staff officer received the order and left, no longer bothering Xue Ke.

The destruction of Heiankyo has entered the countdown stage.
