vs 356 Burning the city!
The resisting widows fell in pools of blood.
Bushido is simply not worth mentioning, heroes and heroes, one shot to knock down, if not, another shot.
Due to the thinness of their ranks, even the South-Eastern Army did not use short-range shotguns and pistols, and directly took them down with muskets.
The artillery of the Japanese people was destroyed, suffered from the onslaught of shells, and the buildings in the city were destroyed in large numbers, although it was the capital, the army and the people had no intention of dealing with the southeast army, and the nobles and troops in the city ran away first, and Hagi Castle was like a weak woman, and there was no power to resist.
The marines of the Southeast Army led by Yan Dian did not take much effort to gather the Japanese people outside the city, forced them all to the ground, and then entered the city, they also carried out a series of tactical actions: control the city wall, control the city gate, cross cover and break through, etc., but found that it was a vain posture.
No one resisted at all!
Not a single Marine died, and Hagi Castle was like a plate of delicious food.
On the sleek walls, the Marines raised their banners: "This city has been taken!" ”
"Overseer, you can enter the city, but I don't think it's appropriate to do so." Gan Hui proposed: "It's getting dark! ”
"Sail the flagship away from the coast so that the enemy does not attack." Storm said cautiously.
Yan Changwu, who was afraid of death, was as good as a stream and took their opinion.
……
When night fell, there were not too many lights in the originally prosperous Hagi Castle, and those who ran to the outside of the city and were intercepted were driven back to the city, and the southeast army was stationed on the city wall and outside the city, and some people were stationed in the city.
These were the monetary units of the Wa Kingdom, and there was also a lot of silver, which was collected and temporarily stored in the city lord's mansion in the center of the city.
The City Lord's Mansion had long since run out and was empty, and after the Southeast Army was stationed, it was converted into a small military camp, and the rooms were demolished on the periphery to vacate more places and not to contact the City Lord's Mansion.
The Japanese people in the city were in fear, many families did not raise a fire to eat, hungry, they did not know that a terrible fate awaited them!
When the night gets darker, the city is full of ghosts, and the strength of the Southeast Army is not enough to control the city, they can only send a small number of troops to patrol the streets, and they can't stop the Japanese ninja team in the city!
As ninjas, they still have night vision, and better food keeps them from night blindness.
They went around, lit torches, and mercilessly threw them on the cardboard houses of their own people!
Flames burned from room to house, and because of the proximity, the wind was like a fierce horse galloping, and the fire quickly burned in all directions with the strong force of the wind, and the flames followed the flames, forming a terrible raging fire!
Awakened by the heat and noise, the people screamed and cried, and ran barefoot out of the burning house, beckoning to their neighbors and hurrying to fetch water to put out the fire, trying to save their homes from the fire demons.
It's just that the cardboard houses of the Japanese people are excellent "fuel", and the whole house burns like a huge torch, running from one house to another with the force of a hurricane, setting off an incandescent heat wave with a temperature of up to 1,000 degrees!
The widows outside the house, frightened by this time, tried to save their yards, carried water from the well in the city to extinguish the fire, but found that it was too inefficient to keep up with the change of fire, so they tried to fight with clothes, brooms, and everything they could use, and even covered the fire with wet bedding to suffocate it, and found that all that did not work, and all they thought of was to escape!
The flames stained the sky red, the air was scorching, and in the midst of the fire, some houses exploded like ovens filled with gas (there were too many combustibles in the house), and the houses had to flee in all directions!
Men frantically shoved across the bridge, racing to escape the fire around them, roaring like wild beasts, crowding and trampling each other, trying to flee out of the city.
The city gate was wide open, and the troops stationed in the southeast army had escaped at the first time, and the target that the Japanese wanted to burn most was unscathed.
That's the benefit of having organized groups and having a staff office.
When a group of people get together and become partners with each other, there is bound to be a division of roles regardless of the length of time. Some people will play the role of a leader and be responsible for making ideas, some will play the role of a military advisor to be responsible for thinking and coming up with ideas, and some people will be responsible for the concrete implementation of the decided plan. Take the Southeast Army as an example, the leader is Yan Changwu, the staff is the military division, and the commanders at all levels are thugs, responsible for implementing the battle plan.
There are certainly two sides to the advice provided by the General Staff, the positive is how to organize the offensive, and the negative is to provide negative opinions after the offensive plan is proposed. This makes it easy to see the strengths and weaknesses of a plan, and we can try to improve that plan.
For example, when they entered the city last night, the enemy's reaction was expected at all, considering that they would use the houses in the city to burn the city, so the places where the southeast army camped were close to the big streets with convenient transportation, and close to the city gates.
Before going to bed, clean up the surrounding area to prevent burning and attack, and when the fire comes, the army that has been packed will be equipped and leave the city immediately!
They unceremoniously drove away from the crowd that stood in the way and went straight out of the city gates.
Even the garrison on the top of the city wall retreated, there is nothing to talk about, they all know what Yan Dashao said, as long as there are people, everything is there.
They ran so calmly that they even brought out gold and silver.
The common people of the Japanese were scrambled and cried in the city shrouded in flames, and they fled from the east to the west and from the west back to the east, scurrying around like headless flies, hoping to find an exit from the hellish city. Only a handful of people escaped the city in the chaos, while most were trapped in the city of blood and fire.
The four gates of Hagi Castle have actually been wide open, and the Southeast Army has not closed the city gates, but the Japanese trample on each other, they are crowded, blocking their escape routes, they cry and shout, rushing to the city gate, the people in front of them fall, the people behind them step on the human body, and then fall, hand and foot are entangled in the chaos, even if they are strong personnel, they can't escape, watching the fire approaching, the smoke engulfs them like demons, and there are not many Japanese people who can escape from the city!
When the day dawned, the city had been burned to the ground, and all that remained was stone statues, stone pillars, and ruined walls, and the air was filled with the heavy smell of roast meat. 、
The sun was rising in the east like a blood clot, and it seemed to shake in the heat, but the sky was an ominous black, and the plume of smoke swallowed up the sun's rays.
The city is completely finished.
