This is not a war, this is an almost one-sided massacre.

Although the losses of the Japanese were not small, and the Ming soldiers also lost dozens of people, the situation on the battlefield has been one-sided.

Their rapid advance also meant huge casualties among the Menchuan family.

Although only fifty or sixty people were injured and less than twenty were killed, this was still the largest casualty recorded by Yu Linwei in several years.

Zhao Yongliang's heart gradually hardened because of the casualties of the soldiers. He brought out these robed brothers, and it was his duty to take them back.

His Royal Highness Taisun once said that as long as it is a Ming soldier, even if it is ashes, it must be buried in the land of the Ming Dynasty. The corpse of any soldier is not allowed to remain outside the Ming Dynasty and is honored by future generations.

This promise alone made the Ming soldiers no longer afraid of death.

They are not afraid of death, and they are even more afraid of becoming a lonely ghost after death, and they will not be able to receive incense sacrifices.

More than a dozen doctors are the busiest people right now, not only do they have to detoxify the wounded Ming soldiers and treat red wounds, but also countless injured Japanese soldiers need their treatment.

They can't afford to be cured, because His Royal Highness Taisun said that these widows are now also the property of the Ming Dynasty, and they should be allowed to play their greatest role.

Of course, some of these soldiers who have experienced the battlefield will become afraid of fighting, but most of them will think that their lives were picked up, and they will be more brave and no longer afraid of death.

Kadokawa Daisaku looked at the encirclement of Daming, which was gradually encircled to the front, and there was no joy or sorrow in his heart.

He didn't want to, and he couldn't run away anymore, dying on the battlefield of protecting his family, which was his best destination.

With heavy steps, he walked down the watchtower, and at the staircase, more than twenty loyal warriors of the clan were waiting for his orders.

There is still such a loyal samurai who can let him die a well-deserved death, and he will die without regrets.

He suddenly pulled out the family's ancestral treasure knife, held it high and said: "Ming Dog bullied people, first burned the head of the family, and then came to invade the Shenshichuan River of my Menchuan family. In order to protect our homeland, we must fight to the death with Ming Dog, even if it is death, we must face Ming Dog to death. Kill one to get back to your capital, and kill two to earn a life. Amaterasu will bless our family, life is like a meteor, fleeting, we can't stop death, but we can make our own death more brilliant......"

Due to the harsh living environment and difficult life of the Japanese people, the entire nation is full of an extremely contradictory character of ice and fire.

They are not afraid of death, and even because of their strong misanthropy, they don't care about life at all.

Hearing Kadokawa's words, all the samurai drew their swords, raised their arms and shouted, "For example, morning dew, there is a lot of hardship in the future!" ”

The gunfire of the Ming soldiers was getting closer and closer, and there were already Japanese robbers who had already invaded the mansion, and they saw everyone shouting loudly in Chinese: "There are big fish here!" ”

"Big fish ......" Hearing this description, Kadokawa Daisaku smiled bitterly, and with a finger of the tip of his sword, his guard samurai Toyu opened his bow and shot an arrow.

Dongyu's archery skills are outstanding, and he hits every day with 100 shots, but this arrow missed. Not because he couldn't shoot accurately, or because the other party dodged, but a small shield tied to his left arm blocked the arrow.

However, although he dodged this arrow, he did not escape the attack of the rout soldiers behind him, and dozens of rout soldiers hacked him to death with swords and retreated into the courtyard. Most of them looked flustered, and even Daisaku Kadokawa couldn't give them any confidence.

Kadokawa Daisaku waited for a while, but never came back, on the contrary, more and more Japanese appeared at the door, and even people appeared on the wall.

The tide is gone......

Looking at these would-be widows who were still dressed as samurai, but only wore a Daming hat and a red cloth wrapped around their arms, Kadokawa Daisaku no longer had a sense of resentment.

They, including themselves, are all poor worms trying to survive in the tide of the times. In front of the dragon of Da Ming, no one has the ability to resist this tide.

Although he thought so, in the face of the current enemy, he did not have the slightest idea of resigning himself to fate. Killing one is enough, killing two is earning.

At this time, he saw Hayada Saemon covered in blood, and the two people were separated by a space of no more than twenty meters, and the two looked at each other.

In the past years, the Kadokawa family, who raised a group of pirates, and Hayada Saemon have cooperated many times, and the two have known each other for a long time.

In each other's eyes, they could both see that deep sadness.

Immediately, the two men laughed again and rushed towards each other.

A fierce battle broke out in an instant, and the Menchuan family had less than a hundred people in this courtyard, most of whom were exhausted or already injured.

Therefore, a fierce war means a quick end.

When the Ming soldiers appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, there were almost no one in the Menchuan family who could stand up.

Hayada Saemon's sword was deeply inserted into the abdomen of Kadokawa Daisaku, and looking at this previous partner, he whispered: "You go first, when I kill the grandson of the Ming Emperor, I will come to be your companion!" ”

Kadokawa's face was slightly distorted by pain, but a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He lowered his head and said, "Please, Hayata-kun." ”

Hayada Saemon no longer hesitated, and directly pulled out the knife inserted into Daisaku Kadokawa's abdomen horizontally, causing his intestines to fall out.

Then, Hayada Saemon turned sideways and came to the side of Daisaku Kadokawa, and the sword slashed down the back of Daisaku's exposed neck.

The sharp blade slashed right through the gap between the spine and the head, causing Daisaku Kadokawa's head to fly out diagonally and land heavily on the bluestone ground

Zhao Yongliang appeared at the door and said loudly: "Send a team of fifty people back to report to Taisun, collect all the heads, and set up a Jingguan by the Yodogawa River, and the rest of the people will clean up the battlefield and the materials of the Menchuan family......"

The captured fleet led by the Treasure Seal slowly descended the river, and when they arrived at the Kamishikawa River, they also received orders from Taisun.

A larger contingent of naval officers was ordered to take over the ships, for whom they were accustomed to the operation of large sea-going vessels, which were like toys to them.

The 2,000 people who sealed the treasure did not return to Osaka directly, but stayed in the Kami-Shibu River to assist Habayashi Wei in searching for all the remnants of the Kami-Shibugawa Kadokawa family.

At the same time, they also have to guard against the daimyo in other surrounding areas and take advantage of the fire to loot.

On the flagship of the navy, Zhu Zhanji and Zheng He, as well as Yi Xin and Zhu Zhen, the commanders of the other two fleets, and Liu Sheng are planning their next move.

The capture of four or five hundred river boats made the Ming army no longer lack transportation. Without the constraints of transportation, then the next action can also be accelerated.

"Since the army has acquired four or five hundred river boats, which, together with our original flat-bottomed sand boats, are enough to transport 30,000 soldiers to Kyoto, then we should not stay in Osaka for a long time and touch this hard bone."

"Director Zheng's words are wrong, the purpose of this war is to deter Dongying and destroy the existing management system. Osaka is the material distribution center of Toei, and it is also the only free port in Toei, and the importance of occupying this place is not much inferior even if it is not as good as Kyoto. Isn't that putting my army in danger? ”

"Marquis An Yuan, it is precisely because Osaka is a free port monopolized by samurai groups, and the armed forces here are beyond other places, and a hard encounter will only put my Ming army in danger. Now that we have ships, we can attack and retreat, and it will not be easy for the Japanese to intercept us and others. ”

Looking at the dispute between Zheng He and Liu Sheng, a smile appeared on Zhu Zhanji's face. The two of them had the same strategic purpose, but the methods of war were indeed very different.

One wants to swallow Osaka completely and gain military exploits, but the other doesn't want to make more killings and smash the Yellow Dragon.

From the perspective of tactical security, Zhu Zhanji actually agreed with Liu Sheng's opinion that it was necessary to clear Osaka so that he could attack Kyoto without any scruples.

But he also wanted to maintain Zheng He's position, which occupied a very important position in his transformation of the navy.

Today's Ming Dynasty, there are indeed too few generals who can open their eyes to the world and have a macro strategic vision.

He raised his hand to stop the argument between the two and said, "The tactics of both of you are not wrong, there is no need to fight on this point." It is also imminent for Daming to carry out the next action plan, and the army will stay outside for one more day, and the food consumed will not be a few. However, safety and loss cannot be ignored for the sake of consumption. So, Lone has decided to burn Osaka! ”

The others perked up, and only Zheng He clenched his fists and begged: "Your Highness......"

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said: "Director Zheng doesn't need to say more, he loves people with a benevolent heart, and he is a person who loves me." I still have the old saying, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people, for the life of my Ming Jian'er, even if I die ten times or a hundred times the enemy, I will not bear it. I don't like to talk about this matter again, carry out the order! ”

Zheng He let out a long sigh and raised his eyes to look for supporters among the generals, but found that everyone agreed with Zhu Zhanji's opinion. Even Huang Yuan, who he thought was compassionate, had an expression of eagerness.

He could only say, "Humble Command!" ”

Now that Zhu Zhanji has given the order, the current tactics can only be arranged around the strategy he has determined.

Although Zheng He believes in Buddhism and has compassion, he is now a deputy marshal, and he also has to fight for the fate of an army of more than 100,000.

As a handsome, compassion can only be put aside at this time.

In fact, various tactics were roughly determined when the army set out for the battle, including the strategy of burning Osaka.

These plans only need to be slightly modified to reflect today's realities.

Although he knew that this plan would take countless lives and make more people homeless, Zheng He quickly adjusted his mentality, and one order after another was passed through the heralds to every occupied area in Osaka.

Later that day, the hundreds of riverboats left a small number of supplies for the Halo Kadokawa family, and the rest were all driven to Minamiko Island, not far from the outer city of Osaka, and scattered.

Later in the evening, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty gradually died down, and all the soldiers cut off the heads of the dead enemy, and then began an organized withdrawal.

These heads are military merits, and they are also used by Taisun to order the construction of the Jingguan Temple on the banks of the Yodogawa River.

The warriors of Dongying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they looked at the retreating Ming soldiers.

I don't know what tomorrow will turn out to, but at least today, they survived.

The easterly wind of May crossed Wakayama and brought a drizzle to Osaka. Although the rain was not heavy, it was so dense that before you knew it, it could wet the clothes of the soldiers.

"Your Highness, this is the will of God! Is it a change in our plans to set fires tonight? ”

Looking at this sudden light rain, Zhu Zhanji was still unmoved, and sneered: "I only believe in one sentence, man will win the day!" It's raining, but don't try to save the people of Osaka! It can't stop the tactical arrangement of our army, and if you order it to go down, you will carry out the mission as originally planned! ”

Although this kind of rain is annoying, there is fire oil, and the water will not be extinguished. Moreover, most of the houses of the Japanese people are wooden houses, and they live densely, as long as the fire is lit upwind, no matter how heavy the rain is, there is nothing to be done.

If you don't carry out the mission today because of the rain, it will make the soldiers feel that this is God helping Dongying, and it will have a great impact on morale.

Liu Sheng had been studying the map of Osaka since the afternoon, and Zhu Zhanji gave him the task of setting fire tonight, and also sent all the five hundred fire dragon troops under his command.

These five hundred people seem to be a lot of people, but if you want to light a fire in a city that cannot be extinguished, these five hundred people are still too few.

He equipped each Fire Dragon Army with eight soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, issued two barrels of fire oil, and then set fire to the designated location, striving for a fire to burn the outer city to the ground.

When only the inner city remains, it only takes a small amount of explosives to blow up the city walls and destroy the Japanese people's defense system. Without the cooperation of the outer city, they could not be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty at all.

Looking at the dark city in front of him, Liu Sheng showed a sinister smile, it won't be long before this city will become extremely bright, leaving the last bright fireworks.

Soon after dinner, small boats ran along the river, and the soldiers of the Fire Dragon Army began to invade each of the designated locations.

At that time, after the scattered gunshots, the fire began to burn everywhere, and the house that had ignited the oil burned with a bang, at first just a fire point, but soon, these fire points began to connect, became a line, and finally became a large area.

The number of civilians in the whole city is very small, but there are still many of them, and one by one they cry and run out of the burning houses.

Standing on the tall deck, Zhu Zhanji looked at the burning city and showed a hint of a smile.

This city, which was listed as one of the three capitals of Toei along with Kyoto and Edo, will disappear completely from today, and even if it is rebuilt, it will not be the Osaka it used to be.

(I just got home, I have a party today, and my state hasn't been adjusted yet, I'm sorry everyone, it's only 4,000 words...... ）
