Chapter 389: Today in History

"First evacuate the samurai wounded who can be taken away, especially the samurai who can recover their combat effectiveness if they are slightly injured, this is the foundation of our Hojo family, we must preserve it as much as possible, those ordinary farmers, just leave them to resist the Song army." ”

Hojo Tsusaku knew that he couldn't hold it, but he fled back directly to face the past, there happened to be some fishing boats in his hands, transporting those lightly injured samurai back to the main island, and leading people to evacuate on the next trip, the patriarch shouldn't blame himself too much.

The battle was so tragic that his side was losing and retreating, and he didn't know that the same fiasco was also staged on Shikoku Island, because of the location, the ordinary residents of Shikoku Island retreated earlier, and hundreds of thousands of people have already set foot on the land of Kyoto.

Qu Liu's attack speed was faster than Li Mingyi's, and he completely annihilated the army of the formed Japanese state in two decisive lone penetrations, and the resistance on the island was all village brave farmers, and some defeated samurai participated in the battle.

The knives, guns and hoes they held were quite sharp, but with their amateur combat experience, they could only show some low-level warriors in village fights, and after a long period of training and experience, and equipped with rapid-fire guns, they basically did not rush within fifty paces in front of the Song army.

The crossbowmen of the Song army, looking at those who were whining and screaming, while raising the knives and guns in their hands, almost fearlessly rushed towards the Song army's positions, and even more ruthlessly shot at their subordinates. A rain of arrows fell on their heads, and they did not raise their weapons to cover them, and as long as they could run after being shot, they would never stop, but unfortunately their short melon-like stature was always shot into hedgehogs before they could run the position.

The divine punishment that the Japanese people have been waiting for a long time has not waited, and even the sea storms that often come in the past are like going to the neighbor's house and disappearing, and the island is peaceful, and the water surface is gentle and there are no waves.

At this time, some people were privately discussing whether the gods no longer protected the people of the Wa Kingdom this time, or whether the gods were also afraid of the menacing Song army and did not have such a strong force to punish them, or whether the gods needed sacrifices to pay tribute before they would manifest.

The panicked people and the leaders of the Hojo family have lost their faith in their hearts, and they were full of confidence to wait for the arrival of the divine peak to eliminate these outsiders who attacked the Japanese country, but more than half a month has passed, and it seems that the Song army's offensive is becoming more and more fierce, and there is no intention of giving the gods of the Japanese country a little face.

Immediately afterwards, some people said that the blood shed in the war was not enough, because the Song army that came to invade was too strong, and the gods needed more blood to improve their strength, otherwise the gods would not be able to destroy these foreign invaders.

The news spread quickly, and it was no longer possible to verify who was the initiator, but the Hojo family, who was in charge of the powerful samurai power, began to selectively slaughter the serfs on the island everywhere, which shows that this blood is not enough to be used as a sacrifice to the gods, and they have to try it no matter how many lives they die in vain.

Whether it was the forces involved on the two islands, or the Hojo Tokimune in Kyoto, they all prayed to the gods, no matter what the cost, to send down the gods and drive away these foreign invaders.

However, no matter what method they used, the speed of the advance of the Song army was still stable, no matter how many troops were organized, they were like paper paste in the face of the Song army's artillery fire, and they could not withstand several rounds of shelling.

In the second half of the Song army's forced landing and occupation of these two islands, the lives of the Japanese warriors were far greater than the casualties caused by the Song army's artillery fire.

Zhao Tianyou's flagship troops and a large number of transport ships approached the port outside Kyoto along the channel, and then blocked the entire harbor with artillery fire, and the samurai team who dared to show their faces were wiped out by the heavy artillery of the South China Sea Fleet.

Zhao Tianyou is waiting for a day, Guo Shoujing's calculated calendar is almost the same as the solar calendar, and there are still three days to reach that memorable day, which will never forget 918! More than 200 ships anchored in the harbor, and the Song army only used naval guns to relieve the threat, neither sending troops nor landing on the shore, so that some of the Japanese troops defending the harbor wharf had no idea, and they would not have guessed that the Song army was on their right day.

September 18, 1282.

A round of red sun rising in the east dyed the earth with a layer of red warmth, and the Song army fleet, which had been silent for more than half a month, moved slowly under the command of the flagship, and slowly docked at the dock that was already undefended.

Zhao Tianyou rushed forward with a scimitar in his hand, followed by rows of mighty Song soldiers, holding swords and guns glowing with cold light in their hands, and drove out from the big ship one by one, with the harbor wharf as the center, occupying the entire wharf, harbor, and city little by little.

"It's today, it's going to be today, I'm going to appear under the city of Kyoto, and use my strength to tell them that it's easy to let you lose your country, but I won't be so merciful, so that the country that I have hated for generations will be liberated so easily.

I want your whole country to bear it, in order to commit crimes in the future, and be punished in advance, but we in China, the whole of Asia, have been ravaged to death by you, as many as ten or twenty countries, and you alone will not be able to pay it off. ”

The cold and ruthless thought flipped back and forth in Zhao Tianyou's mind, although the thought repeatedly popped up in his heart, whether it was too much to do this, but the seeds of hatred buried deep in his heart had grown strong and could not be resisted, and if it was forcibly suppressed, it was likely to backfire.

There were not many troops stationed in the port of Osaka, but they were all elites personally selected by Hojo Tokimune, and in terms of loyalty and combat effectiveness, they were the best in the Japanese army, and the appointment that suddenly came from Kyoto returned the power of life and death here to the Song Dynasty.

"Haha, a small island nation, not as tall as the water tank, is my competition against them? This group of people who have been abandoned by society and the times, let them do what they should do, I will not agree! ”

"Rush up for me, all the people with weapons above the wooden stick need to be killed, and I'll be responsible for his affairs!"

Zhao Tianyou's excitement did not need to be concealed, and his emotions spread out like ripples, circling out, making this huge team cheer, which only he could do.

16,000 samurai were killed in Kyoto Bay, and another 130,000 serf cultivators were lost in battle, and they were beaten into a mess.
