Since the Song army's fleet approached the four islands of Wakoku from the vast sea, Hojo Tokimune's confidence has never been so low, and the kamikaze that sheltered the native country has not shown its might, and the two islands of Kyushu and Shikoku have been completely lost, and there is no confidence that Honshu Island can hold the entire family and the Shogunate's allies. （）

The giant warships of the Song army have become a nightmare for the people of the Wa Kingdom, and as soon as the long-range artillery rang out, the samurai army of the Wa Kingdom was quickly defeated, and the samurai spirit that has always been fearless has been greatly discounted on this battlefield, and more and more samurai have abandoned their equipment and weapons to flee for their lives.

With the overwhelming offensive of the Song army, the population of the Wa Kingdom who fled to the island of Honshu became more and more numerous, whether it was the common people, the hunters, the serfs, or the warriors who had fled, their hearts were filled with deep despair.

The **** of the Japanese people respectfully serve the great god of Rizhao, but the gods did not shelter them when they needed help, maybe these Song people were too powerful, and the gods had to retreat, not to mention the manifestation to punish the invaders.

The scuffle between the cavalry outside the city of Kyoto continued, and although the number of Japanese cavalry far exceeded that of the Song army, the difference in combat power and equipment was too far, and the direction of the war was already doomed from the beginning. Those warriors wielding long knives were all individual heroism, or their sword skills were really outstanding, but in the face of the combined combat methods of the Song cavalry, there was no chance to fight back, and when they met together, they fell to the ground and died.

The torches in the distance are like a winding dragon, and countless Song infantry are marching rapidly, lighting the pine torches in their hands early, reflecting the ground under their feet as bright as day. A single horse had to be a two-wheeled artillery cart, and it was also mixed with the ranks of the infantry, and occasionally the soft earth stuck to the wheels, and many infantry would come up to help, and everyone pushed the carriage through the dangerous obstacles.

The infantry team soon approached the battlefield in the battle, and the crossbowmen began to cooperate with the cavalry to fire crossbow arrows at our cavalry, and the cavalry of the Song army, which was already dominant, was even more unstoppable.

"My lord, let's send troops, the cavalry outside has already suffered half of the casualties, and they are not ...... supporting."

Hojo Tokimune shook his head indifferently, he knew very well that a lot of shells would fall into Kyoto Castle and explode in a while, and it was no longer about supporting the cavalry outside and consuming the lives of the samurai to survive, but to decide whether the Kamakura Shogunate would return the role of the two players in charge of the Emperor, and whether they could continue to exist in the four islands of Wakoku.

"My lord, Your Majesty has sent a messenger to meet your lordship to discuss matters."

For the emperor's envoy, the face that should be given still has to be taken out, and besides, he knows the content of the discussion as soon as he guesses, what is the use of this emperor who is greedy for life and afraid of death?

"Lord Hengda, please take a seat!"

Hengtian, who was anxious, dared to do it, and he didn't care that there were idle people around, so he directly threw out the young emperor's intentions, and the fate of the entire Wa Kingdom simply let the Hojo family make a decision.

"Lord Hojo, I won't sit down, His Majesty the Emperor means that Lord Hojo, on behalf of the Imperial Family, will come forward to negotiate peace with the invading Song Army, and explore the meaning of the Song Dynasty.

Hojo Tokimune snorted coldly from his nostrils, so frightened that Hengda quickly shut up, and looked at Hojo Tokimune pitifully, not knowing what to do next.

"Go back, Hengda, tell our Emperor His Majesty, you can prepare to break through to the north, Kyoto City will not be defended for long, I need those who can't fight to leave the city as soon as possible, and I will take the samurai loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, fight to the end, and swear to defend Kyoto to the death."

"Yes, Hojo-sama, I'll go back to my life!"

Hengtian turned around and left, trotting away quickly, for fear that Hojo Tokimune would change his mind after a while, and they couldn't get away if they wanted to. Although the emperor has a name and honorable status, it has become an indispensable symbol, and no matter which family in the shogunate is in power, he will give the imperial family enough respect and financial support, and to put it mildly, it is a symbol of the mascot in captivity.

The officials and servants who served and lived by the side of the imperial family were invisibly inferior to the people of the shogunate, and sometimes they had to endure humiliation, so the first courtier next to the emperor was extremely humble when he met Hojo Tokimune.

Immediately after Hojo Tokimune, he also issued an order, and all the military forces in Kyoto Castle were hidden in the streets and alleys, preparing to start hand-to-hand combat with the Song army, abandoning the simple city wall that was not high enough for two zhang, and directly putting the Song army into the bloody battle.

The other part of the force, the family members and wealth servants of the big families living in the castle, evacuated to the north with the emperor, and he had to lead the power of the Hojo family to wage an endless life-and-death battle against the invading Song army.

It was already completely dark, but the tens of thousands of pine torches outside Kyoto lit up the vast fields, and those of our cavalry who wanted to escape through the darkness would always be shot by arrows flying from afar, and they would fall off their horses and die with blood.

The Song army mainly used the divine arm bow to fire crossbow arrows, covering a wide range of the enemy's armor-piercing cones, which played a small role at this time, and was not as accurate as these crossbow arrows with long range and fast fire, and the lethality was great.

A strange image was formed in the position of the infantry of the Song army, and the divine arm archers now only had to aim and fire, and forcefully pulled the strength of the beast's tendons to wind, and there were four or five ordinary archers next to him to help, and after the crossbow arrows were put on, they were handed over to the crossbowmen to fire, and the arrows were really fast and accurate.

The blood stains on Zhao Tianyou's scimitar had dried up, and he had no interest in chasing and killing the scattered and defeated Japanese cavalry, so he rode back to the position of the army on a big black horse and began to arrange for the invasion of Kyoto City.

"General Zhao, you are running too fast, waiting for the infantry, falling into the encirclement of the Japanese army, no matter how great your ability is, you have to be restrained, if you are injured somewhere, how can the brave generals around you live?"

Zhao Tianyou jumped open the curtain and came in, surrounded by Du Hu, who was surrounded by a simple map, once again expressed his dissatisfaction with his rash march, and more than a dozen or twenty young generals around him showed worried and excited looks. Du Hu is right, Zhao Tianyou, who is the soul of the commander-in-chief, always likes to go deep alone, and he is at the forefront of the first soldier, he is really hurt, doesn't it make these young generals die of shame, why do you train so many people?

Zhao Tianyou's answer was easy and irresistible.

"Haha, Lao Du, you say that I am again, or deliberately when there are many people, so that I can't get off the stage! Today is a special day, you don't know it, but I can understand how much I have done today. The infantry hurriedly buried the pot to make food, rested for a while after eating, and the firearms battalion opened artillery fire, and I led the team into Kyoto City, captured the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom alive, and hacked Hojo Tokimune to death! ”
