Chapter 667: The Battle of Tokyo Bay - A Wish Hundreds of Years Ago

The Yuan Dynasty conquered almost all of Asia, and even hit Europe, making almost the whole world submit before the iron heel of the Mongols. But the Japanese were lucky, and a storm blew away the fleet that the Koreans had built by cutting corners, and the sea blocked the Mongols' scimitar horses. The kamikaze also became an obsession of the Japanese, and to this day they are also looking forward to another wind that will send the Manchurian army of Goxinga to the bottom of the sea.

The wind that blows away the Goxinga steel fleet will not be gone, but the Mongol iron horsemen of hundreds of years ago have returned, and this time they have set foot on the soil of Japan, and their sturdy horses gallop on the land of the island nation. Hyotaro Kimura and Hiroo Suzuki didn't dare to fool around anymore this time, and although they couldn't figure out the exact path to Tokyo, they had already reached the point where they had to fight hard. The two of them played their own brainstorming and turned everything they could think of in their heads. At the same time, I asked the Manchurian soldiers for help, and caught a lot of nearby people to inquire, and improved the information as much as possible.

These two people worked hard, and the Manchurian army's march route was suddenly reversed, and they turned from Zama to the east and went straight to Yamato. The defenders of Yamato were prepared, they were already aware of the attack of the Manchurian army, but the Manchurian army came too quickly, and their preparation was still insufficient. Although the defenders had already landed in the city, the various defenses could not be supported, and the horses rushed into the city with their swords roaring, and the sabers were raised high again, and Yamato Castle was declared to have fallen.

The Manchurians did not carry out large-scale killings at Yamato, because they ran out of time. Uliji and Wulin were the only ones who could determine the road to Tokyo this time, and the Japanese had obviously detected them at high speed, so there was no need for them to cover up their tracks, and they had to kill as fast as they could. After the cavalry captured Yamato Castle, they passed through it quickly, and even the remnants of the city were not cleared. They were not at all worried that the Japanese army would gather again to cut off their rear route, they had no rear route at all, and the cavalry only had a one-way ticket to Tokyo.

"The latest urgent news, a Manchurian cavalry from nowhere, has captured Yamato Castle, and they are rushing towards Tokyo at an extremely high speed!" After Saigo Takamori reached the front line, Yama Prefecture Kurasuke became Tokugawa Yoshiki's personal adviser, and the Manchurian cavalry could only be planned by him for Tokugawa Yoshiki.

"If we let them appear behind us, the consequences will be unimaginable, we must stop them before they enter the Tokyo realm!" Tokugawa Keiki kept rubbing his temples, this is the house leak that happened to rain overnight!

After the landing of nearly 100,000 Manchurian troops under the pro-command of Goxing, they have been steadily blowing the sea breeze on the beachhead, and there has been no offensive move, but the coastal defense line of Xixiang is still under great pressure. The Manchurians did not move, but the Manchurian artillery never stopped, and Saigo had to suffer huge casualties regardless of whether the fire was exchanged or not. Now that the Japanese army is concentrating all its strength, it can only barely hold the coastal defense line and ensure that the defense line does not collapse. At this time, a cavalry of the Manchurian Army suddenly appeared behind Tokyo, but it was too terrifying. Not to mention the actual combat capabilities of this cavalry unit, as long as they appeared, Tokyo would be in turmoil, and political influence could kill the Meiji government. Now the people's hearts are fluctuating, and if there is another dissipation of the enemy's belly and back, I am afraid that the Japanese army will collapse without a fight.

"His Royal Highness Guoxing is known as a famous general in the world, and he really deserves his reputation!" Yama Prefecture didn't say anything about how to resist the cavalry, but praised Goxinga.

"Yes! His 100,000 soldiers could easily contain our 200,000 troops without moving, and we were forced to die under his guns, and we had to suffer huge casualties every day! Even if we don't have this cavalry from behind, if we continue to consume it in the long run, we will be consumed by them sooner or later! Tokugawa Yoshiki also understood that although the cavalry was dangerous, the greatest danger was the enemy in front of him.

"It is said that the number of cavalry on this road is not large, the total is about seven or eight thousand, but it is not easy to deal with them!" Yama Prefecture Kurosuke thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any perfect solution.

"Yes! Fiction is real, reality is virtual, they can change at will, but we only have one chance! Tokugawa Yoshiki was only politically simple, and his ability was indeed extremely strong, and he quickly figured out the problem.

The appearance of this cavalry announced that the Japanese army was in a situation where they were under attack, and they did not need to enter the territory of Tokyo at all, as long as they appeared, it was enough to cause extremely great pressure on the Japanese army. If the Japanese army sends the main force back to deal with this cavalry, Guoxinga will inevitably order the main force to attack in a big way, and the already stretched coastal defense line of Xixiang will definitely not last long. And by that time, the Japanese army had no successors, and Emperor Meiji couldn't escape. If the Japanese army had only allocated some troops to contain this cavalry, it was not impossible that they would have concentrated all their strength and made a desperate attempt to reach the city of Tokyo and rob the Meiji Emperor in one fell swoop.

"It's impossible for us to intercept them outside Tokyo, as soon as Yamato Castle is over, we have no danger to defend, we can only fortify and block them in Setagaya, Tokyo! However, there is also one advantage, the terrain in Setagaya and other places is dangerous, so we don't need to send a large number of troops over, as long as the troops are quite elite enough to block them! "Yamaguchi Kurosuke finally came up with a reliable idea, there are still some relatively dangerous heights around Tokyo, after all, the Japanese army is the defender, and they can take advantage of the location to control the enemy. Of course, this is also a helpless way, the current route of the Manchurian cavalry is the Tokyo-Nagoya highway in the future, and it is too late for him to block it.

"That's the only way, Sangming and other feudal clans have newly compiled 20,000 elites to come out, you can take the Yutian Valley fortification! It's all up to you! "Tokugawa Yoshiki once gave his capital to his former enemy, the man who had tried to kill him.

"General, please rest assured, Shan County will be foolproof!" Yama County Kyosuke was also moved, it is common sense for Tokugawa Keiki to find an excuse to kill him now, but Tokugawa Keiki gave him the elite he had just formed, this kind of mind, Yama County Kyosuke admired the five-body throw.

Yama Prefecture did not dare to delay time, and hurriedly mobilized the newly formed 20,000 horses, all the way to the southwest to the Seda Valley. Although the cavalry moved quickly, Uliji and Wulin only needed to study while walking after all, and their natural speed was slower. And Yama County Madman, who ran wildly all the way, didn't have the slightest concern, and only hated his grandmother for running with two legs, so he was naturally faster. In addition, Tokyo is much closer to Setagaya, so in the end, it was Yamaguchi Kurosuke who rushed to Setagaya first.

Historically, Yama Prefecture, the first general of the Japanese army in modern times, was not built out of order, and he really had good ability. After arriving in the Setagaya, he immediately mobilized the local people and built a large number of field fortifications in the Setagaya, imitating the positions left by the Manchurian army. At the same time, in view of the characteristics of cavalry, a large number of traps were dug and a large number of thistles were laid on the main roads.

As soon as the arrangement was completed, the Manchurian cavalry outpost that came rushing wildly reached the periphery of his position, and in a few thousand Manchurian cavalry, they rushed to the front of the position with the dust that covered the sky and the sun. Yama Prefecture Kurasuke is also a traditional Japanese samurai, he is still very sensitive to the cavalry class, and the fear from the depths of his soul makes him instinctively feel that these guys are not easy to mess with. The Manchurian Army's overly tall war horses and various equipment made Yama County Kyosuke feel even more terrifying.

Yama Prefecture Kurasuke is a little weak-hearted, and the other soldiers are even more unbearable. The sound of more than 10,000 war horses galloping was something they had never seen before, and many people felt as if there was an earthquake. The neighing of the war horses made these samurai, who had always looked up at the knights beside the lord, feel a little afraid to look up. Especially after seeing the speed of the war horses, the samurai felt that the single-shot rifle in their hands was not very stable, and they were afraid that before they pulled the trigger, the cavalryman's saber had already been slashed on their heads.

"Do we have any other options?" Uligi asked about his guide.

"Go Shinagawa!"

"Go to Shanyi!" Hyotaro Kimura and Kano Suzuki are very nervous now, they are very close to the position of the lord of Odawara, but they are also very close to death, and their competition has reached the final moment.

"Go to Shanyi, go!" Both of them had similar proposals, but Uligi didn't want to go to the beach, he wanted to be opposite the main attack position in Acton, so it was better to go deeper into the interior of Japan than to appear on Acton's flank.

When the Manchurian army turned the horse's head one after another, Yama County Kyosuke's heart rose to his throat, he waited for the Manchurian army's shelling, waiting for the cavalry door to draw his saber, but in the end, he only waited for a piece of smoke and dust. The menacing Manchurian Army only glanced in front of the position that Yama County Kyosuke had painstakingly managed, and then left without looking back, leaving only Yama County Khousuke with a dashing back. Yama Prefecture was dumbfounded in an instant, he thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that the Manchurian army would turn around and leave without firing a shot.

"Hooray! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! But the soldiers cheered, and they did not fire a shot, but they were victorious, and the enemy feared them, and fled before them. The soldiers did not think too much, the terrible enemy fled, they were still alive, and this was enough for them to cheer.

"They went in the direction of Shanyi!" Yama County, who was also happy for a while, said something to himself, and then the whole person froze.

"Quickly disarm, go to Shanyi, quickly!" Yama Prefecture Kurosuke jumped up directly as if he had been burned to the ass by a soldering iron, and shouted loudly. The Manchurian cavalry didn't want to fight them at all, they could get rid of them very easily with the advantage of speed, and now Yama Yama had to race with the war horse on two legs, because Shanyi had no defense at all.
