Chapter 629: Rushing to Nagano

After learning of the results of the Japanese civil war, the defeat and destruction of the Tokugawa shogunate, and the establishment of a new shogunate by the Ito family in Nagano, the Ming army camp off the coast of Hiroshima, Yan Yingyuan did not hesitate to personally lead an army of 50,000 iron cavalry to attack Nagano.

After so many days, all the armies of the Ming army have already landed, including the garrison, the Ming army has landed 170,000 troops, a large number of materials have been transported, and even the war horses attached to the 60,000 regular army have also been transported, so Yan Yingyuan can easily form an iron cavalry and attack quickly.

"Boom" iron horse gallop.

Yan Yingyuan adopted a beheading strategy, and unless he could not bypass the city that had to be attacked, all other cities would bypass from outside the city along the way, and he would rush straight to Nagano without stopping.

The terrain of Honshu Island is long and narrow, and the terrain is simple, and before sending troops, Yan Yingyuan has already chosen the most convenient road, except for one or two small cities that are difficult to detour, and need to attack, he can drive from Hiroshima straight into Nagano Prefecture.

Taking advantage of the destruction of the Wako Tokugawa Shogunate, the new Shogunate Ito family and all the others gathered in Nagano, as long as Nagano is broken, the last power of the Wa Kingdom can be wiped out, and then the Wa Kingdom will have no main resistance force, and the Ming army can calmly divide its troops and sweep through the various cities, quickly destroying the Wa Kingdom.

A Japanese castle built on the road leading to the county seat of Nagano, the gate of the city is open, many Japanese soldiers enter and exit, and eight Japanese soldiers guard the gate of the city.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound sounded, and the earth shook slightly!

"What a sound!" A Japanese soldier said in disbelief.

"Maybe it's an earthquake." Another Japanese soldier said unconcernedly.

How could they tell that this was the prelude to the arrival of a huge army of iron cavalry, and there were frequent earthquakes in the Japanese country, and there were several earthquakes of different sizes almost every month, so it was not strange for them to mistakenly think that the current rumbling sound of iron horses galloping was an earthquake.

After all, even if the rumbling sound was quite weird, and the earthquake had never been so loud, but the earth was shaking slightly, and with their cognition, they really couldn't think of what the situation was except that they thought it was an earthquake.

However, it didn't make them wonder for long, and in just a moment, a large number of Ming army iron cavalry rushed out from the horizon, with a fierce momentum, like heavenly soldiers descending from the sky!

The eight Japanese soldiers at the gate of the city and the Japanese people who were entering and exiting instantly widened their eyes, looking at the countless iron horses that suddenly rushed out in disbelief, thinking that they were dreaming.

"Yes, yes, it's the Ming Army!" One of the Japanese soldiers finally reacted, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

This Japanese soldier is quite witty and reacts quickly, the whole Japanese country has heard about the landing of the Ming army on Honshu Island, and it is impossible for the Japanese country to have so many iron horses, and then look at the leather armor on the Ming soldiers that is different from the Japanese soldiers, he guessed that it was the Ming army in an instant.

The iron horsemen galloped very fast, and almost instantly reached the front of the city.

"Quick, close the gates!" Several of the Japanese soldiers finally reacted, shouting to close the city gates.

However, it was too late, they were stunned for a moment just now, and the Ming army's iron cavalry had already arrived in front of them in an instant, and there was only a few tens of meters left, and it was impossible for them to have time to close the city gate.

Several Japanese soldiers were desperate, feeling the oppression of the breath of death, and the Japanese women and men at the city gate also screamed and fled in all directions.

Just when these Japanese soldiers thought that they would soon be trampled into minced meat by these countless iron horses, a strange scene appeared, the Ming army iron horsemen did not rush into the city from the city gate, but directly galloped along the road next to the city.

The dust and smoke raised by the war horses were filled, and the entire city wall was shrouded in dust and smoke.

The 50,000 Ming army iron horses galloped for half a pillar of incense before they all galloped past.

When the figure of the Ming army's iron cavalry all disappeared at the end of the road, the few Japanese soldiers at the gate of the city who had already been frightened were awakened like a dream, and the Ming army rushed to the edge of the city, as long as the horse's head was slightly adjusted, they could enter the city, but none of the Ming army entered the city, it seemed that they only passed through here, and it seemed that they had never come, but they dreamed of hallucinations.

One of the Japanese soldiers pinched himself violently, the pain making him sure that he was not dreaming, and that there were indeed countless Ming iron horsemen galloping past the edge of their city.

The eight Japanese soldiers looked at each other, where are the Ming Iron Cavalry going, and what are they going to do?

They would not be so stupid as to think that the Ming army was here to travel, and there must be a great purpose.

Soon, the eight Japanese soldiers realized that the Ming army might be heading for the newly built Ito shogunate, and that the direction of the Ming army's iron cavalry galloping was not exactly the direction of Nagano Prefecture.

Not only these eight Japanese robbers, Yan Yingyuan led 50,000 iron cavalry to pass through at least ten or more Japanese cities along the way, and many Japanese soldiers guessed the purpose of the Ming army's iron cavalry along the way, and they all wanted to inform Nagano, in fact, many of the Japanese guards in the city also sent men and horses.

However, it is a pity that the war horses of the Ming army are all from the Mongolian steppe, which are much better than the scarce inferior horses of the Japanese Kingdom, and they are much faster to run, and Yan Yingyuan also sent a lot of Ming army scouts along the way to stop and kill the Japanese Invaders, as far as possible before the troops come to Nagano Castle, so that the high-level Japanese Invaders in Nagano Castle will not know the news.

On November 21, the Ming army finally entered the territory of Nagano Prefecture after a night of attack.

Three days ago, Mount Kiso was the place where the 600,000 Japanese army fought a decisive battle, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, many corpses had not had time to converge, the earth was still red, and the entire mountain range was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Drive!"

"Boom"

"Bang bang bang" The Ming army broke through the mountain pass and shot dozens of Japanese soldiers in the mountain pass with only one round of shooting.

Many Japanese soldiers also collected their corpses in various places on the Kiso Mountain, and watched as the 50,000 Ming army iron cavalry easily broke through the Kiso Mountain and disappeared.

Kisoyama commanded the collection of the corpse by a general of the Ito family, and he was clear about the contact between the Ito family and the Ming army.

"Yaga, didn't the Ming Shogun promise that he would withdraw his troops after the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate? Why did it suddenly appear on Mt. Kiso! The Ito family's Japanese general yelled angrily.

"Mt. Kiso, Nagano! The goal of the Ming army is Nagano! The Ito family's Japanese general thought of something for a moment, and was immediately shocked.

Mt. Kiso is one of the few places where the passage can be guarded, and it is extremely important, otherwise the Tokugawa shogunate would not have chosen to fight the Ito family and the coalition forces in this place, and broke through the Kiso Mountain, so it can be said that the Ichima Hirakawa River is behind it, and the army will be under Nagano County in an instant.

"Not good! The head of the family and almost all the members of the Ito family are in Nagano, and once the Ming army suddenly kills "this Ito family's Japanese general was staring at him, where did he still have the heart to continue to lead people to collect the corpse."

"Zhishan-kun, hurry, rush to Nagano with me, and be sure to report the news to the head of the family before the Ming army's iron cavalry arrives!"

Immediately, the two Ito clan Japanese generals rode on the only two thin horses of Mount Kiso and followed the footsteps of the Ming army to gallop towards the county seat of Nagano, as for whether they were really able to tell the news to Ito Kamoto and the heads of the various families in Nagano before the Ming army's iron horses.
