Kyushu Island is the second largest island in the Japanese country, slightly larger than Taiwan, but it is similar, and the island shape is long and narrow in the southeast.

Under the order of Yan Yingyuan, the 60,000 regular troops of the Ming army were divided into 12 roads with regiments as units, each regiment was not far apart, and they coordinated with each other to form a long interconnected encirclement, which was to sweep the entire island of Kyushu in a straight line.

"Killing" 12 regiments, the 12th Route Army swept from the west to the east, and there were war horses to assist in forming iron cavalry, in such an almost airtight situation, no Japanese can escape such an encirclement, whether it is a Japanese army soldiers or ordinary Japanese people, no one can escape the cleaning of the Ming army.

Fukuoka Prefecture, where it was located, was completely occupied in an instant, then quickly expanded to Saga, Oita, Kumamoto, and finally swept southeast to Kagoshima, the southernmost point.

Because of the large-scale attack of the Ming army, and it was blatant, the people of the entire Kyushu Island knew the news of the Ming army's attack on Kyushu Island.

In the face of the strong attack of the Ming army of the 12th route, Takeda Hidemasa, who had been beaten in fear by the sneak attack last night, did not dare to engage the Ming army head-on, and continued to retreat under the attack of the Ming army.

Without the protection of the army, the Japanese people could not resist the Ming army, and could only continue to flee south, and in the process, they were inevitably pursued and killed by the Ming army.

"Boom", a team of Ming army iron cavalry caught up with the Japanese people along the way.

"The Ming army is coming! Come on! The people of the Japanese were frightened and kept fleeing in the southeast direction.

However, no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as the four legs of a war horse.

"Those who surrender on their knees will not die!" The soldiers of the Ming Army yelled.

After the roar, the Ming soldiers didn't care whether the Japanese could understand it or not, and all the Japanese men who were still standing would be hunted by the Ming soldiers.

A Ming soldier on a war horse first raised his gun and aimed at a young man who was a Japanese and pulled the trigger.

A gunshot rang out, and the young man was shot dead on the spot.

At this time, the Japanese people fled faster, and the Ming soldiers also began to shoot at the fleeing Japanese people.

There was a burst of gunshots, and dozens of fleeing Japanese people were shot and killed.

The Ming soldiers seem to have a very purposeful purpose to only shoot at the Japanese men over the age of ten, even if those Japanese women run, the Ming soldiers will not necessarily shoot, and if there are Japanese people who give up running and surrender on their knees, the Ming army iron cavalry will ignore them and continue to gallop forward, and there will be other Ming soldiers behind to deal with the surrendered Japanese people.

The female pirates were usually spared, while the male pirates were directly captured and taken away, and those who resisted were shot directly in the process.

The strategy of the Ming army was already very clear, purge the adult men over the age of 10, directly capture them in the prisoner of war camp, wait for the post-war treatment, and the rebels will be killed directly.

Soon, the Ming army advanced to Kumamoto Prefecture, which had almost occupied half of Kyushu Island, and in the process, more than 300,000 Japanese people were purged, and tens of thousands of Japanese men were captured in prisoner-of-war camps.

Soon Kumamoto Prefecture was also occupied by the Ming army.

The Twelfth Route Ming Army continued to advance to the southeast, like a killing god, like a broken bamboo, unstoppable!

Because the Japanese people were forced to flee all the way to the southeast with the attack of the Ming army, when only the last three prefectures remained on the island of Kyushu, these three counties almost gathered more than a million Japanese people and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers of Takeda Hidemasa.

"General Takeda, Kumamoto Prefecture has also been completely occupied by the Ming army, and if it continues like this, it won't take more than two days, and we will have to escape into the sea!" A soldier of the Japanese Army said to Hidemasa Takeda with an anxious face.

Hidemasa Takeda gritted his teeth, but there was incomparable fear and concealment in his eyes.

"No, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is too strong, and going directly to fight with the Ming army is no different from sending them to death!" Thinking of witnessing the powerful firepower of the Ming army last night, and witnessing the Ming charge under his command, a piece of soldiers was shot by the Ming army without any resistance, but they couldn't even touch the corners of the Ming army's clothes, and they fought head-on with the Ming army, and they seemed to only be slaughtered.

Speaking of going to death, the faces of the soldiers of the Japanese army also changed instantly, and they were also very unsightly, and the color of fear involuntarily appeared on their faces, presumably they also recalled the latest scene, in the face of the Ming army's slaughter of thousands of comrades in an instant, the fear in their hearts was no less than that of Takeda Hidemasa.

Of course, although they are afraid of the Ming army, they will not be willing to let them be willing to do this as a prisoner of the Ming army.

As for the Japanese people, they were not in the attention of Takeda Hidemasa's Japanese soldiers.

There were about 140,000 Japanese soldiers under Takeda Hidemasa, all of whom were gathered in a plain valley in Miyazaki Prefecture.

Kumamoto Prefecture.

Yan Yingyuan was on horseback and was questioning a scout captain.

"Can you find out where those hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers have gone?" Yan Yingyuan asked. It has been three days since the army launched a full-scale attack, almost sweeping most of Kyushu Island, hundreds of thousands of Japanese people have been purged and captured, but the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers on Kyushu Island have never come out to resist, which makes Yan Yingyuan full of doubts.

According to what he thought, with the arrogance of the Japanese Invaders, the Ming army had such a blatant cleansing and captiving of those ordinary Japanese people, and the actions were as if they would exterminate the Japanese people in one fell swoop.

Although he was puzzled, guessing that the Japanese might be deceitful and what tricks were being planned, Yan Yingyuan was not worried about anything, under the absolute strength, it would be in vain for the Japanese to make any fame, and he was afraid that the army of hundreds of thousands of Japanese would have been hiding and refusing to come out.

"Back to the marshal, the scouts went thirty miles ahead to spy and saw no trace of the Japanese army!" The scout captain replied.

Yan Yingyuan frowned, unable to think of a reason.

After thinking for a while, Yan Yingyuan shook his head, unwilling to continue thinking about it, all in all, if the army advances to Kagoshima Prefecture, the southernmost tip of Kyushu Island, it will be able to fully occupy Kyushu Island, and complete the purge of the Japanese on Kyushu Island, and the army of more than 100,000 Japanese will eventually appear.

"Order, the army will speed up the pace of attack, and strive to fully capture the entire Kyushu Island within three days!"

In fact, what Yan Yingyuan didn't know was that throughout the history of the Japanese invaders, very few of them paid attention to the lives and deaths of the people, most of them were selfish, no matter how fierce the war was, no matter how many casualties the people were, they never paid attention to it, they only cared about whether they would be defeated, maybe they were used to it, or maybe they had never been landed on the island by foreign forces like the Ming army since the founding of the country, and they had not fully realized what kind of consequences the Ming army's cleansing of the ordinary people would have on their nation.

Perhaps they didn't know that according to the Ming army's purge method, they were in danger of being wiped out.

The army of more than 100,000 Japanese invaders did not come out, and the Ming army of the 12th Route kept compressing the living space of Kyushu Island under Yan Yingyuan's orders, and constantly purged the ordinary Japanese people along the way.

As the scope of the Japanese in Kyushu Island continues to be compressed, the final counterattack of Hidemasa Takeda and other Japanese can come at any time.
