The samurai scattered on the various ships did not cause a major obstacle to the Ming soldiers, on the contrary, due to the lack of a unified strategy due to their own battles, after less than fifty people were killed by the Ming soldiers, they scattered.

Only a few of them carried out the order to burn the boat, and hurriedly jumped into the river, but because the tung oil and other preparations were not sprinkled, the fire did not work as well as it should.

When Da Ming's fleet arrived at the predetermined area, the treasure sealer only felt infinite surprise when he saw the ships that stretched for miles and were tied together.

Subsequently, the Japanese organized two small-scale harassment tactics to burn some of the ships, but unfortunately, in the face of the muskets of the Ming army, they could not attack the approach.

After losing dozens of corpses, they had no choice but to retreat in disgrace.

As for Jiro Tanabe, a hero in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty and a sinner in the eyes of the Japanese people, he disappeared as early as the beginning of the battle.

No one knew whether he was dead or alive, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor when he fled in a hurry, but just carried his sword and jumped into the river.

It was only at this time that the crowd discovered a problem, that is, the navy had originally prepared five hundred sailors on their backs, ready to sail back to these ships, but they thought that there were too many ships, and now there was a shortage of manpower.

After some discussion with a garrison named Liu Dingshan of the Navy's First Fleet, the Treasure Sealer could only continue to tie two or three ships together and prepare to sail back.

Because it is down the river, as long as you take the helm, you don't have to worry about sailing.

Looking at this river boat, which has four or five hundred boats, the heart of the treasure sealer is full of pride, this operation, not only the loss is slight, only a few people died, but it can obtain such a big result, this is definitely a great achievement.

But the spring breeze on their side was proud, and Zhuang Jing and Yu Linwei on the other side encountered the most difficult battle since the start of the war.

Daisaku Kadokawa, who fled back to his family base, knew that his actions could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Akito, so he returned home and began to transfer his property and the old and weak women and children before it was completely dawn.

Then, he took out all the silver that the family had left behind and piled it up in the castle square of the ancestral house of Kami-Shibukawa.

As soon as the sky was dark, all the samurai and people who relied on the family life were gathered, and each of them distributed gold, silver, and food in turn to boost morale and fight to the death against the Ming people.

The people, who usually don't have enough to eat, were given food and silver, and their relatives were sent to safety, and the threat of Kadokawa Daisaku was quickly assembled, and morale was strong.

But Kadokawa Daisaku is very clear that these people don't know the power of firearms, although they seem to be powerful now, but in the face of firearms, I don't know how many people still have the courage to fight.

But he can't help but gamble, and he has to gamble on the fate of the family, the bet is that the Ming Dynasty can't take care of the Shen Shibukawa for the time being, and the bet is that other generals and daimyo can work with him to contain the Ming people.

As long as the seed is not extinguished, his Menchuan family will definitely be able to rise again. But if he runs away now, his family will no longer have a foothold in Dongying.

Man has never been a solitary animal, and he will never succeed if he fights alone.

A family must follow the development laws of an era and a world, and live within the scope of the system in order to adapt to and even use this force.

Although Kadokawa Daisaku thinks that this time Toei will suffer a rare blow the year before, he does not think that the Ming Dynasty will be able to subvert Toei's social system for thousands of years.

As long as this system is not destroyed, the Kadokawa family, as the backbone, will still have a chance to recover.

Therefore, he must make a gesture to resist the aggression of the Ming people.

But he never imagined that the revenge would come so quickly. Less than a day after he fled back, the Ming army had already arrived in the city.

The Kamishikawa Castle Tower of the Kamigawa family is just a small castle, less than three miles around the city wall, no more than three meters high, except for one side of the water, the moat on the other three sides has been turned into shops and warehouses in the family's hundreds of years of historical development.

The Ming army came so quickly that he could only concentrate his fighting forces and did not take any defensive measures at all.

Those stones, those gold juices, those bows and arrows, those weapons that can cause losses to the Ming army, have not been used.

But when the time came, he could only face these menacing soldiers with the tragedy of killing himself.

Of course, Zhao Yongliang also knows the truth of the speed of soldiers, he is just here to exterminate the Menchuan family, not to pacify the civil unrest in one place, the faster the action, the better.

If they were caught up in the tide of the Japanese people, it would be impossible for them to win the final victory with their 2,000 soldiers and 1,000 Japanese soldiers alone.

Therefore, when the army entered the Kamishibu River, he called Shokei and Hayada Saemon to him. In front of Hayada Saemon, he was not polite at all, and said directly: "I don't care what kind of battles you people fought in the past, but today, the war is important, and the war is not over. When the war is over, the army is allowed to plunder for one day, and all the harvest is seventy percent handed over, and thirty percent is kept for oneself. ”

Hayada Saemon's face was a little unsightly, of course he knew who his subordinates were, and under such strict military regulations, he didn't know how many people would die for money.

But people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, so he could only nod stiffly and convey Zhao Yongliang's order.

Because of their strong restraint, the army entered the Kamishikawa without delay, and drove directly to the castle tower of the Kadokawa family.

This was originally the place where their family issued orders, there was a small square, and the square was surrounded by the family's shops, but by this time, everyone had fled into the inner city, or evacuated, and most of the shops were closed.

Zhao Yongliang waved his left hand, the herald waved the yellow flag, and everyone gathered in the square, sat down in place to rest, and checked their own firearms and ammunition.

Originally, they had set aside 500 people to defend themselves, but in order to concentrate their forces, the Menchuan family did not send a harassment team at all.

The army rested for about a quarter of an hour, but because of the limitations of its forces, it was divided into two armies and attacked from the east and south.

The main force of the attack was mainly those Japanese robbers, supplemented by Yu Lin Wei, another 500 Yu Lin Wei was responsible for guarding, and 500 Yu Lin Wei was used as a reserve army.

Although the Japanese only had swords and spears, they were pressed by the Yulin Guard, and all the rebels who dared to take the lead were killed with a single shot, so even if it was a siege, they did not suffer much resistance.

An explosive bag weighing more than ten catties was moved to the gate of the inner city of the Kamishibu River by several Japanese robbers, and they used a crowbar to pry up a piece of bluestone and put the explosive bag inside, despite the fact that the entrance was a bluestone floor.

Although I don't understand the shock wave and shock wave of physics, the Ming army of this era has a very perfect method of using explosives, and knows that explosives are more powerful in a closed environment.

A soldier of the Ming Dynasty connected the coiled lead into the explosives bag, and several people retreated quickly while wiring the wire.

The fuse of the explosive pack was ten meters long, and when the fuse was ignited, several of them ran back at a rapid pace.

In this process, due to the suppression of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, the people on the city wall did not dare to come forward at all, and they did not suffer any attacks.

Seeing that the lead was ignited, the Ming soldiers in charge of pressing the formation also quickly retreated, retreating fifty meters away.

They don't want to get too close to each other, get their eardrums broken, get dizzy for a few days, and can't eat.

In the past several exercises, many unlucky people got too close because of curiosity, and as a result, they were stunned.

The fuse burned rapidly, and the Japanese people on the city wall were still a little curious, not understanding why the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had just attacked and retreated, they curiously gathered at the city tower and looked down.

A loud bang rang out, followed by a tremor of the earth and a rise of dust.

A large number of Japanese people gathered on the castle tower, and they felt that their bodies were light, and they seemed to fly into the sky.

The loud noises and vibrations made almost everyone confused, and their brains lost the ability to think.

But in the distance, countless Japanese people knelt down one after another. In their opinion, such a movement is not something that humans can cause, they only think that it is a punishment from heaven.

The Japanese and Ming soldiers who had been scattered quickly gathered again, and the location of the city wall, which was originally the location of the city wall, has now been blown out of a big gap.

The inside of the gate, which had been filled with sacks of dirt, had been blown away and turned into an undefended passageway.

The worst of them were the Japanese people who gathered at the city gates, most of them bleeding from their facial features, lying on the ground groaning in pain, and some of them vomiting violently.

The widows with red cloth wrapped around their left arms and scarves on their heads rushed forward one by one, and this one head was military merit, silver, and women.

Only by getting more heads can they reduce their sentences and enjoy all the luxuries they crave.

Even, when their military merits reached a certain level, they could throw away their swords and fight directly with muskets like Ming soldiers.

There are even some Japanese people who regard becoming a Ming person as their ultimate dream, and they look forward to one day in the future, they can become a Ming person.

Of course, the road is particularly difficult.

But it may not be impossible to achieve, and in this process, the most important thing is military merit.

If each of them can really kill a hundred enemies, and they don't exchange for other supplies, and they don't die on the battlefield, they can do it.

Their bravery also made it very easy for the Ming soldiers who followed behind to press the formation, just like a walk, they could win the war.

Most of the Japanese people in the Kami-Shibukawa have completely lost the courage to resist, and this explosion has also blown away their resistance heart.

However, of course, those samurai-level Japanese people knew that this was not a heavenly punishment, it was just an explosive for the Ming army.

They are also pinning their hopes on using street fighting, using numbers to save the situation on the battlefield.

The samurai who relied on the Kadokawa family to survive knew very well that it was a dead end anyway, and only by killing one more enemy could they do it.

When the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty invaded the inner city, the war also entered a real white-hot stage, and the people on both sides were mixed, which also made the role of muskets much lower.

No one dared to directly attack the Ming army's formation, because they were often killed before they could get close.

They could only rush into the ranks of the Japanese and raise their swords against these former compatriots.

Hayada Saemon had long thought that they would face such a situation, but as a vote for their service, they had to fight even if half of the people died in this battle.

He could only hope to make military achievements, so that the Ming people would lose their vigilance against him, and he would have the opportunity to get close to the ruthless grandson.

Ever since Zong Zhensheng died in front of him, he was inspired to kill the grandson of the Ming Emperor who caused the war. But he was too difficult to see, he had been captured for half a year, and they didn't have a chance to see His Royal Highness the Grand Sun at all.

In the past six months, from the attitude of all the generals and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, through the worship of the Ming soldiers to the Taisun, and the heroic deeds of the Taisun, he has already understood very well that the war against Dongying was provoked by His Royal Highness the Taisun.

Many people are very respectful, but this grandson is the culprit of the destruction of countless Japanese families!

The fierceness of the battlefield had made him unable to think about it, and he could only wave his sword at each of his original compatriots.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the hot blood made him completely numb.

Kill your opponent to keep you alive......

After entering the inner city, the ease of the Ming army gradually disappeared, and then there was tremendous pressure.

The Japanese people, who were familiar with the terrain, did not directly confront the Ming soldiers at all, they hid in the shadows, attacked them with bows and arrows, hidden weapons, and even stones.

Unlike Osaka's army, they had enough time to advance steadily, so they could only follow the Japanese and attack the core area of the Kadogawa clan to eliminate the resistance as soon as possible.

Therefore, injuries are inevitable.

Zhao Yongliang saw with his own eyes a child who threw stones at the Ming soldiers, he was only about ten years old. was originally let go by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but when a Ming soldier passed by him, he stabbed the soldier in the waist with a rusty knife.

Zhao Yongliang shot the kid in the head and shouted: "Anyone who resists, regardless of age or age, will be killed!" ”

There is no room for mercy on the battlefield, whether it is a child or an old man, when they take up arms, they have only one identity: the enemy!

Standing on the watchtower at the door of his family, Daisaku Kadokawa watched the offensive in the city get closer and closer, and his heart completely collapsed.

He thought he could resist the wall of the Ming soldiers, but it was blown up in a breath, and the samurai and folk who he thought could put pressure on the other side were helpless against firearms.

More importantly, there are no other families to help them, and they seem to have been abandoned by everyone.

Do you really think that compromise will lead to peace? Amusing!

But at this time, he didn't know if he was ridiculous or someone else was ridiculous.

If he knew that the Ming soldiers had such combat effectiveness, why did he bother to provoke them, even if he did, he should have fled far away, instead of trying to hit the stone with an egg like now.
