Chapter 625: Ninety Degree Bow (Page 1/1)

When the shogunate's bravest samurai saw the pirates rushing out of the smoke of gunpowder, they immediately swung their swords and killed them. Before they could rush in front of the Changxing army, they were knocked to the ground by the short guns.

A few samurai who were lucky enough not to die were helpless in the face of Rulin's bayonets. They were either stabbed to death or forced backwards, and before the farther warriors could step forward, a grenade landed on their heads.

Faced with bayonets and short guns in front of them, and grenades falling above their heads, the shogunate soldiers did not last long before they were beaten back one after another.

When Liu Xitian's artillerymen opened fire on both sides of the ranks with lightweight 3-pounder cannons, the shogunate soldiers completely retreated. In the face of efficient slaughter, they could no longer hold on and immediately turned and ran.

The Nagako army tightly bit the tail of the shogunate soldiers and killed them all the way, and Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was watching the battle in the rear, was dumbfounded. His mind was a little blank, and he couldn't believe that the soldier in front of him was the most elite samurai of the Wa Kingdom.

Seeing more than 10,000 soldiers retreating, Tokugawa Iemitsu's attendant immediately said beside him, "Shogun! The rout in front is about to collide with our rear formation, so you might as well go back to Edo Castle to avoid its edge! ”

"I'm not leaving! I'm not going anywhere! I'm here to see what pirates can do to me! Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't believe he would fail at all, howling hysterically.

At this moment, the shogunate soldiers in front of them were in chaos, and many people pushed each other and fled backwards. Others, in order to escape quickly, swung their knives and cut down the soldiers who stood in front of them.

Only then did Tokugawa Iemitsu see that the cavalry that had been behind the pirates moved. More than 1,000 cavalry rushed up from the back of the pirates and slammed into the rear of the shogunate's rout.

The cavalrymen were armed with long horses and charged in groups of ten. Anyone who stood in their way was impaled to the ground, and the cavalry behind them fired their bows and arrows, killing them on their backs.

Zhang Dou rushed to the front of the Changxing army with a mace in his hand, and the Japanese people in his pass suffered heavy casualties. As long as he is hit by his mace, it will be the end of broken bones and tendons.

Those Japanese warriors who believed in their bravery were all smashed into pulp. At his side were Bayan and Andrew, one holding a flail to protect Zhang Dou's flank, and the other wielding a saber to slash at the fish that slipped through the net.

The three of them went all the way forward, and they didn't know how many widows they had smashed. The armor of the three men was stained red with blood, and even the horses turned crimson.

Suddenly, the three of them felt that their eyes were empty, and there were no widows in front of them. Knowing that at this moment, they knew that they had killed the shogunate soldiers.

Zhang Dou lifted the cotton armor and let out a long sigh of relief. Turning the horse's head to look at the fleeing shogunate soldiers. Except for a few who chose to flee to the mountains, most of the rest chose to wade through the creek.

For those Japanese who fled to the mountains, the Changxing army did not pursue. It is not cost-effective to go up the mountain to capture the Japanese people with time and effort, and it is better to hit the power to eliminate the Japanese people at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the advantage of the cavalry was undoubtedly revealed, and as long as he found that the Japanese had a tendency to resist in groups, Zhang Dou immediately led the cavalry to disperse them.

For the Japanese who did not surrender and tried to escape, they were immediately cut down, and those who surrendered on their knees were ignored. It was not until it was getting late that the Changxing army ended the Battle of Yuchuan, and after the war, the Changxing army was so tired that it could hardly walk.

There were too many prisoners, and nearly 10,000 prisoners were captured. It was a pity that Zhang Dou did not catch Tokugawa Iemitsu, and this guy was taken into the carriage by the attendants at the moment when the cavalry attacked.

Although he did not capture Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate was also beaten half to death by the Nagako army. Most of the most elite samurai in their hands were annihilated, and the remaining men and horses could barely hold Edo Castle.

In fact, such a shogunate has existed in name only, and who will listen to a shogunate that does not have much force and no money. In the future, it will be a blessing that Tokugawa Iemitsu will be able to keep the direct leader, let alone imagine that he will be in full control of the shogunate as he did before.

In this battle, the Choko army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but killed and wounded more than 5,000 shogunate soldiers and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners. The rest of the men fled into the mountains and forests, and it was not known if they would be able to return to Edo Castle.

The Choko army, which had defeated Machida Castle and defeated the shogunate soldiers, had already stepped into Edo Castle with half a foot, and as long as Zhang Dou was willing, he could come to Edo Castle again and wash Edo Castle in blood.

The battle of Machida Castle frightened the daimyo who wanted to reinforce Edo, and many people chose to stop and wait and see when they were already outside the river.

The shogunate's most elite samurai were defeated, and their serf-like ashigaru was no match for them. They had already learned about the battle from the soldiers who had fled from the shogunate, and they were even more afraid of the combat strength of the Changxing army.

Zhang Dou swaggered under the noses of all forces, and escorted the prisoners to the port of Chigasaki to board a ship and transport them to Vladivostok.

The development there is inseparable from manpower, so let these Japanese soldiers contribute to the development of the Changxing Army.

Zhang Dou had only rested for one day, and a group of messengers claiming to be from the Wa Shogunate came outside the camp. And sent a document to ask for peace, wanting to resolve the minor conflict caused by the misunderstanding between the two sides.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhang Dou somewhat admired the shamelessness of the Japanese people. They have all been beaten out by the Changxing Army, and they also claim that the conflict was caused by a misunderstanding.

Since it was possible to get everything he wanted at the negotiating table, Zhang Dou did not want to continue wasting time in the Wa Kingdom. Since Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to talk, it would be better to hear what they have to say first.

He Shouzheng stood nervously outside the Changxing Army barracks, and when he saw the patrolling soldiers, he knew that his family had not been wronged.

With the endless arsenal of pirates and well-trained soldiers, if the samurai of this family can fight and ascend to the mainland to dominate the world too early, they still need to continue to suffer in the small Wajima?

After waiting at the door for more than an hour, He Shouzhengsheng was put into the camp. All of his entourage were guarded at the gate of the camp like prisoners, and when he saw the retinue ordered to squat underground, He Shou Zhengsheng protested.

But Ma Jingbo, who received He Shouzhengsheng, was speechless after saying only one sentence: "If you are not satisfied, you can leave, Changxingjun didn't ask you to come!" ”

He Shouzhengsheng suppressed his anger and followed Ma Jingbo into the barracks, and was searched by Hu Tieniu again outside the tent. Hu Tieniu did even better, and even the old guy's crotch cloth asked to be opened to see what was going on.

After the incident, Hu Tieniu also despised He Shouzhengsheng, saying that the old guy was short and had to stuff a large piece of cloth in the crotch of his pants. JJ, who is like a bug, has to pretend to be an eagle!

If He Shou Masakatsu had not been entrusted by Tokugawa Iemitsu to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the life and death of the shogunate, he would have drawn his sword and duel with Hu Tieniu.

After being carefully inspected for half an hour, He Shouzhengsheng walked into the handsome tent and saw Zhang Dou.

"The special envoy of the general of the country of the rising sun, He Shou Zhengsheng, has seen the general!" He Shou Zhengsheng entered the tent and immediately bowed ninety degrees.
