Chapter 503, Cattle Man Wang Shouren

When the main army of Zhang Mao and Liu Jin successfully took the Kyoto and Muromachi regions where Hyogo Nozu threatened the core of the Wa Kingdom, in the Kanto region, the 10,000 army led by Wang Shouren was also fighting with the Uesugi family, the overlord of the Kanto region.

The Uesugi family was also an extremely powerful family in the Wa Kingdom, and in this era, the Uesugi family was also divided into two important branches, one was the Tokyo metropolitan area, which dominated the core of the Kanto region in Ogiga, and the other was Yamauchi Uesugi, who was also a wealthy family in the northern region of Kyushu.

Because they had already known the news of the Ming army's pressure in advance, the Uesugi family relied on their important influence in the Kanto region and the northern part of the Japanese island of Kyushu.

It was also early on that he had already contacted other wealthy clans around him, such as Takeda, Hojo, Miki, Murakami and other wealthy clans who had deployed heavy troops in the Kanto region, gathered an army of more than 10,000 people, and were ready to teach the Ming army a hard lesson and let them know the power of the Japanese people.

The Uesugi family's governor, Uesugi Clan, even said that it had nothing to do with letting all the Ming troops come, after all, in the Kanto region, their Uesugi family really didn't fear anyone.

However, this time, their opponent was the Ming army, armed to the teeth, with powerful artillery, advanced equipment, and sharp weapons such as flintlock muskets, and more importantly, their commander was Wang Shouren.

On the empty Kanto Plain, the armies of the two sides faced each other, and the smoke of gunfire before the war filled this fertile land, and neither of them had an advantage in numbers, and they were evenly matched.

This made the Uesugi clan Ken also secretly relieved, the news originally received was that this time tens of thousands of Ming troops came to the Wa Kingdom, and now only 10,000 came to attack their Uesugi clan.

On the one hand, while he was relieved, he also felt that he was being despised by others.

The Uesugi clan is not something that the Otomo clan can compare, the two Uesugi clans, any one of them is stronger than the Otomo clan, not to mention that they are now united, plus the armies of many wealthy clans around.

With tens of thousands of troops in hand, Uesugi Clan's self-confidence was extremely inflated, and he didn't even plan to rely on the city to mediate with the Ming army, drag down the Ming army, and attack the Ming army's supply lines.

Instead, he chose a head-to-head battle, to defeat the Ming army in front of him in one fell swoop, let them know how powerful the Japanese people are, and they can do whatever they want, how can they Ming people be able to point fingers.

He had already thought that after defeating these Ming troops, he would continue to levy heavy taxes on the Ming Dynasty merchant ships that came to the Kanto region, and he had already heard about the Golden Continent, and he also planned to organize a fleet to go to the Golden Continent.

The Golden Continent, which is full of gold, must not be exclusive to the Ming family, and they also have to participate in the entry, ten ships only, and a trip to the Golden Continent will bring back the wealth of 30 million taels of silver.

With such a huge wealth, he can directly unify the entire Wa Kingdom.

This time, he was able to persuade the surrounding daimyo to send troops to support him, not only because he thought that the Ming Dynasty army was pressing the border, it was a war between the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, the Uesugi clan Ken promised everyone a bright future and won the Ming army.

The Uesugi family will take everyone to the Golden Continent to make a fortune, and more importantly, they have heard that the Golden Continent is vast and fertile, but there are no powerful countries such as the Golden Continent.

This is definitely a fatal temptation for the Japanese people.

Any ambitious Japanese people want to enter the mainland, enter the vast land instead of being limited to the island country forever, they didn't know the Golden Continent before, but now they know, and they also know how to go to the Golden Continent, and there are many people who are excited about the Japanese country.

Not only the Uesugi clan, but also the Ouchi clan, the Shimazu clan, the Hatakeyama clan, and even the shogunate were all moved, and they were all thinking about whether they could go to the Golden Continent to open up a world.

"You see, this time we have to face only 10,000 Ming troops, there is no difference in number from us, they came from afar, people are sleepy, but we are waiting for work."

"As long as we defeat these Ming troops in front of us, these Ming warships in the bay don't want to escape from our palms, with these ships, we can go to the Golden Continent, and when the time comes, we will have endless money to spend when a boatload of gold is brought back."

Uesugi Clan Ken pointed to the Ming army on the opposite side, and said with a smile and several other families around him.

"I heard that the Golden Continent is full of gold~"

"I also read the newspapers here in Daming, in fact, there is no need to go to the Golden Continent at all, there is a large number of gold mines in a place called Yuxi in the north of our Japanese Shrimp Island."

"This fish stream is so close to our Wa country, we can completely mine it, and we definitely can't cheap Mingren."

"After winning the battle against the Ming people, we will guard this route in the future, and if the Ming people want to go to the Golden Continent, they must pay taxes to us, and then we will have endless gold when we sit at home."

When the people next to him heard this, they also laughed, and you said it word by word.

Thanks to the intensive exchanges between the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, they also know a lot, the Ming Morning Post is the best way to understand the Ming Dynasty, and now it is also very popular in the Wa country, and someone regularly sells the Daming Morning Post to the Wa country.

After the Ming Morning Report arrived in the Ming Morning for only a few pennies, a casual copy would be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and the key was that these daimyo of the Ming Morning Post were still rushing to ask for it, because the things published in the Ming Morning Post could let them know about the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they could also know some of the world outside the Ming Dynasty.

On the other side, on a hillside, Wang Shouren rode on a tall horse, holding a telescope and looking at the formation of the opposing Japanese people, carefully thinking about how to annihilate these Japanese people.

"Such a dense formation, I'll let you know the power of the Miyun cannon later~"

"These light-footed men need to be used with muskets and bows and arrows, and when the gap is torn open, the cavalry charges, cuts their formations, and finally slowly surrounds them."

With a telescope, standing on a high place, the enemy's formation can be said to be clearly grasped, and Wang Shouren soon had a general battle plan.

"That should be the Uesugi family's governor, the Uesugi clan."

Soon, Wang Shouren discovered the location of the Uesugi clan, and it was not difficult to find it, after all, the dress of the daimyo, coupled with the appearance of these Japanese people around, it was easy to find the location of the Uesugi clan.

"Someone~"

Wang Shouren shouted almost without thinking.

"Adult~"

One person hurriedly came.

"Tell the artillerymen to aim at the position behind me, and kill all those who are on horses."

Wang Shouren pointed to the position of the Japanese camp and said.

"Yes~"

When the other party heard this, he hurriedly went to convey Wang Shouren's order.

"Woo~"

The confrontation between the two sides did not last long, and soon, the sound of war drums and howls began to sound in unison, and a solemn aura filled the air, so that everyone involved couldn't help but clench their weapons in their hands.

Here in the artillery camp of the Ming army, the person in charge of directing the shooting soon received Wang Shouren's order and immediately began to calculate the parameters and readjust the firing angle.

"The distance is 3 miles, the wind speed is level 3, the angle is adjusted up by 2 degrees, three rapid fires, fire~"

Soon, with an order, a flag fell heavily.

The Miyun artillery, which had been prepared for a long time, began to erupt flames, and at the same time, a deafening sound resounded through the sky, and one shell after another flew rapidly towards the side of the Japanese army.

"Boom~" ninth

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the deafening sound came from a distance, making the Japanese army who were moving forward step by step in formation slightly stunned, and then looked up at the sky one after another.

I saw that in the clear sky, the cannonballs came down on their heads from far and near, like raindrops, very dense.

There are hundreds of cannons, and all of them are Miyun cannons, and the rate of fire is very fast, wave after wave, like a tide, with no intention of stopping.

A wave of hundreds of cannonballs fell very accurately into the Japanese army, instantly setting off countless blood flowers, and the huge inertia of the cannonballs carried terrifying destructive power.

All the Japanese who were hit by the shells were almost completely dead, and some of the shells were still bouncing on the ground, and a blood-colored arc directly popped out.

Sending out rapid fire, thousands of shells fell into the camp of the Japanese invaders, instantly causing the entire army to collapse, and many Japanese soldiers were frightened one by one, and in the face of this terrible shell from the overhead, they began to flee in terror.

All of a sudden, they trampled on each other, and more died at the feet of their own people than under the shells.

Where the pirates were, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the blood gathered on the earth to form a stream, and the earth was dyed red.

"Steady~Steady~"

"Eight Grid Tooth Road~"

There were people who tried desperately to maintain the formation, but they all failed, and they were really frightened in the face of such terrible shells.

It's really terrifying, it can be attacked from a distance of several miles, and the key is that the number of shells is too much.

There are still nothing in one or two, these hundreds of shells are falling, and everyone's formation is so dense, this shell has eyes like eyes, and it is specially drilled into crowded places.

If this cannonball goes down, at least several people will die, and there is no way to stop it at all.

Even if someone raised the thick shield in his hand, in the face of huge inertia, let alone a wooden shield, even if it was a shield made of steel, it would be smashed to pieces.

"This~ Mingren opened fire?"

Uesugi sat on top of his BMW, listening to the loud noise, looking at the cannonballs flying over, a little incredulous.

They also have artillery, but the artillery technology of the Japanese country is very backward, and the attack distance of the cast artillery is very limited, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible to attack from such a distance.

Before he could figure out the cannons, he saw some shells falling on their heads with great precision.

"Protect the Governor~"

The samurai of the Uesugi family immediately panicked, and someone hurriedly held a thick shield in front of Uesugi Clan, and at the same time, many samurai also surrounded Uesugi Clan.

However, it was all in vain, they were the target of the main care, and the dense shells fell towards the area, bringing up clouds of blood in an instant.

Uesugi Shiken was very unlucky, a cannonball smashed him to pieces, and the entire army was leaderless.

"Haha, well done~"

Wang Shouren had been using binoculars to watch the situation of the Japanese army, and when he saw that the Japanese army was in disarray, the location of the Uesugi clan was also attacked in a covering way, and there were heavy casualties.

He couldn't help but shout out with joy.

"Now is a good opportunity, just rush up and easily deal with them."

He was keenly aware that the fighter plane was coming, only to see him draw the sword in his hand and wave it.

"Offense~"

After giving the order, Wang Shouren also took the lead, riding his war horse like a whirlwind towards the Japanese army.

That's right, you read that right, he is a Wenchen, a Wenchen of the Imperial Examination, and now he is riding on a horse, holding a sword, and he is leading the charge like a military general on the battlefield.

Behind Wang Shouren, everyone was stunned.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Everyone knows that Wang Shouren is the eye of last year's list, the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and he looks like a thin scholar.

But such a powerless Wenchen in everyone's eyes actually took the lead in killing the past, this speed, this momentum, is like a veteran of a hundred battles, without a trace of fear, it seems that everything is confident, and there is no fear at all.

"I'll go~This is too fierce~"

"Cow, I'm served~"

"This is still the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy?"

"Is he a military general or are we military generals?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

Then there was no need to say anything, and one by one they followed suit.

Is it good for military generals to also want to save face?

You, a civil servant, a Hanlin, and a scholar who seems to be powerless, are rushing in front of these generals, how should they gain a foothold in this way?

Do you want to save face?

With Wang Shouren, the commander, rushing to the front, the entire army began to press towards the Japanese side, and at the same time, the artillery side was also constantly attacking.

The cannon whistling overhead, the deafening sound of shelling and rushing shouts in his ears, the war horse was constantly running, Wang Shouren's face did not have a trace of waves, and the long sword in his hand was oblique behind him, as if he had already been hungry and thirsty.

This time I came to the Wa country, and there were thousands of cavalry among the tens of thousands of troops, which was also newly formed, and Emperor Hongzhi had money, and won the battle last year, obtained a high-quality war horse, and formed a cavalry army of 10,000 people.

This time, almost all of the thousands of cavalry belonged to Wang Shouren's leadership, and thousands of war horses were running on the earth, and the whole land was constantly trembling, and the rumbling sound came from far and near.

In the Japanese army, the terrified Japanese felt the shaking of the earth, and thought that there had been an earthquake, and then looked at the thousands of cavalry rushing over, and their eyes were wide open.

Never before had there been such a large cavalry on this small island nation.
