Chapter 973: Desperate Prince

Outside Hiroshima Prefecture!

The sound of killing shook the sky, and a large number of sergeants, driven by the generals, rushed to the tall and strong city wall with their lives. The fierce battle continued here, but the prince of Xinye Cao Jie was full of gloom.

After learning that his Hiroshima Prefecture had been rebelled by the original lord, he was furious and gave up directly confronting the Dongjiang Army at sea, and hurriedly returned to this place with his troops, preparing to annihilate these rebellious parties.

However, it has been more than a month since the start of the war, and the current situation of the war makes him very dissatisfied. An army of tens of thousands could have been enough to sweep through the entire Wa Kingdom, but it was stopped by these chaotic parties outside the city.

"Pass the order, if you don't capture the city before dark today, all the generals will have to die." Xinye Cao Jie let out an angry roar at the soldiers beside him.

His order was soon conveyed to the generals in the army, and the order of Cao Jie of Xinno was learned. These generals were full of bitterness on their faces, but they had no choice but to continue to urge their soldiers desperately, and rushed to the battlefield regardless of life and death.

Under the onslaught, the battle situation did improve, and Xinye Cao Jie's face showed a hint of pride. Unexpectedly, a fast horse galloped behind him, and before the war horse stopped, the Japanese warrior on horseback had already flown off his horse, and directly knelt down in front of Xinye Cao Jie and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, the big thing is not good, all our warships docked in Nagasaki were all destroyed by fire......

"What ......"

Xinye Cao Jie let out an exclamation, and then his body shook for a while, and he almost fell off the horse. It wasn't until he sat down again that he opened his mouth to ask, "Why, tell me quickly?" ”

The Japanese warriors did not dare to slack off, and even informed Xinye Cao Jie of all the news they knew. After hearing all the facts, Xinye Cao Jie was stunned for a long time, and he finally suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked in a dark voice: "Who did it?" ”

The warship is the old bottom of Xinye Cao Jie, and it is with those more than 200 warships that he can sit firmly on the throne of the current prince. And now that he heard that his family had been wiped out, it was no wonder that he was not shocked.

"Prince Qiyu, it is not yet known who did it. All the soldiers left behind were killed, none of them survived, and the warship was burned by the fire, so it was impossible to find any clues. Now that the people in Nagasaki are already panicking, I implore the prince to immediately lead his troops back to suppress it, otherwise I am afraid that things will change after a long time......"

Before the Japanese warrior could finish his words, he saw a sudden sword light coming straight towards his head. When he had a premonition, he looked up, only to see Cao Jie, who was full of hideous faces, swinging a knife and slashing at him.

The Japanese samurai didn't dare to dodge at all, and allowed Shinno Cao Jie's katana to cut his neck. When the huge head rolled to the ground, the eyes of the Japanese warrior were still blank, and he couldn't figure out why Xinno Cao Jie wanted to kill him.

"Damn, I haven't been able to find out who did it, and what is the use of this king keeping you." With an angry scolding, Xinye Cao Jie slowly withdrew the katana that was full of blood.

After killing the samurai who came to report it, Xinye Cao Jie seemed to be a little angry, and waited until he took a deep breath and calmed down. Xinye Cao Jie suddenly found himself having to face a dilemma?

The situation on the battlefield in front of him was already advantageous to him, and if nothing else, it was indeed possible to attack the castle of Hiroshima before dark. Kill all the rebels who are cowering inside, but now it seems impossible, and if the matter in Nagasaki is not dealt with as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles in the future.

A group of pro-soldiers looked at Xinye Cao Jie, who was on the verge of going crazy, and everyone was in danger, and they didn't dare to say a word.

In the silence, Xinye Cao Jie seemed to have finally made a decision, he finally looked up at the still tragic battlefield, and suddenly ordered in a cold voice: "Mingjin withdraws the troops, and the whole army withdraws!" ”

The soldiers responded with a bang, and the sound of horns echoed on the battlefield.

At first, when they heard the horn of the withdrawal of the army, the Japanese generals were still stunned, until they were sure. Only then did they hurriedly order their subordinates to evacuate, but they were still at a loss in their hearts, wondering why Xinye Cao Jie was like this?

The sudden withdrawal of Xinno Cao Jie's army not only did his generals not understand, but even the four lords in Hiroshima Prefecture were also at a loss.

After urgent deliberation, the four lords immediately sent their most powerful spies to follow the army of Xinye Cao Jie to spy on the enemy.

And the sudden departure of Nino Cao Jie made Hiroshima Fucheng, which was already very tight, breathe.

Hiroshima Prefecture is not close to Nagasaki Prefecture, and the distance between the two is not close, and Nino Cao Jie is anxious. It was a day and night journey back to the city, but even so, it took him nearly eight days to reach the devastated port of Nagasaki.

The charred wreckage of the warship, the broken planks floating all over the sea, and the mess turned the entire surface of the sea into a huge garbage dump.

There were more than 200 warships in the past, but now there is not even a single one left, and some are only garbage all over the ground. Xinye Cao Jie's chest rose and fell violently, and suddenly, a mouthful of old blood spurted out when he opened his mouth.

Several pro-soldiers were frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, while drinking the doctor in the army. Xinye Cao Jie shook off the guards who were supporting him, and slowly walked to the shore, looking at the wreckage of those warships up close.

More than 200 warships are all the belongings of Xinye Cao Jie today, and they are also the basis for him to sit firmly on the throne of the prince. It was with these ships that he was able to run amok and dominate, and no one dared to disrespect him.

But now that these warships have been completely destroyed, his greatest reliance is gone, and only the little force in front of him remains. Once it encounters a joint attack by those lords, the consequences are unimaginable.

Immersed in grief and indignation for a long time, Xinye Cao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to the army, gathered all his generals, and ordered to go and arrest the officials who had been stationed in Nagasaki for questioning.

After a whole day of searching, Xinye Cao Jie found some clues in the ruins. These clues prove that the fire was man-made, and that the person who set it fire must have been foreign.

Subsequently, Xinye Cao Jie immediately sent more than a dozen small boats to quietly go to the open sea to inquire about the situation. However, Nishino did not have any respite, and fifty warships of the Marine Battalion suddenly appeared off the coast of Nagasaki. Wantonly attacked a number of coastal defense stations in Nagasaki.

When he learned that everything was done by the Dongjiang Army, Xinye Cao Jie let out a helpless cry of grief, and decisively ordered the whole army to evacuate inland. did not dare to stay at the boundary along the coast, so Adou, these soldiers of the Marine Battalion, became even more unscrupulous.
