Chapter 565: I'll Be Back! (Page 1/1)

Looking at Edo Bay in the distance, Tokugawa Iemitsu was surprisingly calm. He felt his anger almost consume him, but he forced himself to calm down.

His strength in Edo Castle was not weak, and the 5,000 warriors of his own family were ashiba, plus civilians who could be recruited at any time in the castle. Edo Castle, which was guarded by more than 10,000 people, could hold off pirates even if it didn't have the northern wall.

However, the pirates not only breached Edo Castle, but also in a very short time. What does this mean? It shows that the pirates are far more powerful than the shogunate.

At least with equal numbers, the shogunate's army was no match for the pirates. Thinking about this, Tokugawa Iemitsu suppressed the generals who wanted to go to Edo Bay immediately to fight the pirates. With a blank face, he ordered: "Enter the city!" ”

When you enter Edo Castle, you will see corpses everywhere you look. From gray-haired old men to swaddling babies, from sturdy samurai to weak widows. The corpses almost took over Edo Castle, which was no longer breathed of the living, and it was completely turned into a dead city.

The moment I walked into Edo Castle, the hands of all the Japanese people from Tokugawa Iemitsu down were trembling. It's not that they're afraid, it's because they're angry.

When everyone heard that Edo Castle had been breached, they had tried their best to think about how Edo Castle might be destroyed by the other party, but they never thought that Edo Castle would become a dead city.

Why did the pirates kill the widows in the city, and what kind of hatred could make the pirates do such a murderous thing.

They didn't know about the crimes committed by the later Wa Kingdom in Huaxia, but Zhang Dou remembered! Every Chinese who knows that period of history will not forget hatred. In the past, Zhang Dou was incapable, but now that he has broken through Edo Castle, of course, he has to return everything that the Japanese have done.

Reporting grievances directly is Zhang Dou's motto, and the death brigade is the mad dog in Zhang Dou's hands. Zhang Dou told him to bite whoever he wanted, at least in Edo Castle he was satisfied. Edo Castle is just the beginning, and in the future, it will definitely stir up chaos in the world and re-enter the Warring States period.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who entered Edo Castle, immediately asked the soldiers to begin to clean up the corpses and clear out a place where people could live. He was to rest in the city for the night, and attack the docks early tomorrow morning. Fortunately, it was already autumn at this time, and if it was summer, the city would already be stinking.

The samurai ashigaru were so tired that they struggled to clear out a place where they could rest.

The pirates were so abominable that they killed not only the people in the city. There are also things as black as ink splashed everywhere, and the smell is still very unpleasant. This thing seeps into the ground so easily that it can't be cleaned up at all.

The ashigaru had to cover up these things with sand, and it took a lot of time just to clean up the black things.

It was getting dark, and Tokugawa couldn't sleep. From the highest point in the city, he looked out at the pier in the distance, which was still brightly lit.

He was not at all sure about the battle of tomorrow, and if the pirates were afraid that the shogunate would have already retreated, how could they be unscrupulous in loading goods at the docks.

When he thought of pirates, the naval battle in his memory came back to him again. These pirates can't be the same gang! If it's really that group of pirates, will they win tomorrow's battle?

Just as he was thinking about tomorrow's battle, dozens of fireworks flew off from a distance, piercing the sky and heading towards Edo Castle in the night sky.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't have the mood of a poet, and the only thought that came to his mind was an enemy attack. Thinking of this, he didn't care about the majesty of a great general, and shouted to his soldiers: "Enemy attack! Get up! The enemy attacked, and the pirates came over......"

His shout woke the samurai Ashigaru, who had just fallen asleep, and people opened their eyes in a daze to see that it was all firelight.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's mouth was long enough to hold eggs, and he thought that the dozens of flares were just an order for the pirates to attack.

But who would have thought that the flames would set the houses on fire in the moment they fell into Edo Castle. What surprised Tokugawa Iemitsu the most was that a fire fell on the ground not far from him.

The empty land burned violently, and a bucket of water was poured on the fire, and a surprising scene occurred.

Not only did the fire not be extinguished, but it also flowed with the water to Ashigaru's body. A panicked Ashigaru tried to roll underground to extinguish the flames, leaving a belt of fire in his path.

The surrounding samurai who wanted to come up to help hurriedly dispersed, for fear that the fire would burn on his body.

The ashigaru gradually stopped moving in the eyes of everyone, and burned into a pile of ashes. At this moment, when Tokugawa Iemitsu raised his head again, Edo Castle was already in flames.

It was a disaster for the wooden building to be set on fire, and the fire spread in an instant, and the wine could not be controlled at all.

In particular, there was black smoke billowing from the fire, which made it even more apparent that Edo Castle was burning in flames.

Tokugawa Iemitsu slammed his hands on the ground and shouted with red eyes, "Pirates! The Tokugawa family will never die with you! ”

At first, Tokugawa Iemitsu thought about working together with the samurai Ashigaru to see if he could keep Edo Castle.

But he soon learned that he was wrong, that black liquid everywhere would burn when it came into flames. No amount of water can stop the burning, and what scares Tokugawa Iemitsu the most is the black smoke from the burning of the black liquid.

As soon as the person inhales the body, he begins to cough violently, and as long as he takes a few more breaths, he falls to the ground, and it does not take long for him to stop breathing.

This discovery frightened the Japanese people, and it turned out that the black liquid turned out to be a poison. Tokugawa Iemitsu could no longer care about Edo Castle and immediately led people to withdraw from the castle.

When I arrived outside the castle and counted the number of people, I found that the fire had engulfed 3,000 samurai Ashigaru. Tokugawa Iemitsu regretted it at the moment, and if the fire had been evacuated immediately, there would not have been such a large number of casualties.

Until dawn the next day, the red-eyed Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately led people to fight with the pirates. Many people wrote the word "victory" on white linen cloth with blood, and then tied it to their foreheads to indicate that they would fight to the death.

When they arrived at the docks, they found that the pirate camp had long been empty. Except for the dozens of large splints in Edo Bay, there was not even a single pirate on the shore.

Angry wasks rushed to the docks and yelled at the pirates in the harbor. They wielded knives and spears, venting their anger to the fullest.

Zhang Dou looked at the shouting widow with a mocking face, and immediately ordered: "Fire!" To leave a deep impression on the Japanese people, let's go to Samosa. ”

Just as the Japanese were roaring, the side of the Changxing battleship opened. One cannon after another was pushed out of the ship's side, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Japanese people.

Before the Japanese could react, hundreds of shells fell on their heads. Suddenly, a bloody alley was opened in the dense crowd of Japanese people on the wharf, and the Changxing army fought three rounds of artillery bombardment before laughing and leaving, leaving a stump and broken arm on the shore.

Zhang Dou was on the tall Moby Dick battleship, looking at the burning Edo Castle. He muttered to himself, "I'll be back!" ”
