Chapter 479: March Extermination

Within three days, the 5,000 soldiers and horses gathered by the prince of Takaichi and Mino Kuniji Tapinji in Mino were defeated by the unbreakable Black Tooth Tsuneyuki, and only 200 remnants fled to the northern part of Mino.

Kuroka Tsuneyuki had already reached the east bank of the Kiso River before the people of the sea led the army, and together with the servant armies of the five countries of Tango, Wakasa, Kaga, Noto, and Echizen, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses waiting for work here.

In the face of the Tang army blocking the attack across the river in front, and the Tang army chasing after the elite cavalry, the Japanese monarchs and ministers who rushed to the west bank of the Kiso River panicked.

The dead princes and ministers wept at the Kiso River and the sea to the south, hoping that the Tokaido countries would organize a fleet to cross the sea to save them.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Anxiously waiting for the deafening sound of horse hooves of the five thousand elite cavalry of the Tang Army in the rear, the Xuan-colored banner embroidered with the flying dragon banner and the exhibition, wearing Xuanjia and holding a horse lance, scimitar, and a strong bow and crossbow, the Tang Army's elite cavalry with a fierce face came to meet him.

Xener's horse stopped, and the whole army stopped at a distance of seven hundred paces from the Japanese army like an arm, and was silent.

Able to catch up with the sea people who fled eastward, Xue Ne's depressed mood for three days was swept away, and he summoned a captured young general of the Japanese army and asked him to go to persuade the Japanese king to surrender.

The generals of the Japanese army on the opposite side all sighed: "It is worthy of the countless Tang Dynasty iron cavalry who are fighting to destroy the country in the east and west, and the order is prohibited, and the array is neat and orderly, and there is no image of chaos." ”

On the other hand, the Japanese army, no more than 10,000, stood together and lined up in a military formation, which looked noisy and chaotic. It is no wonder that tens of thousands of Japanese troops will be pressed and beaten by thousands of Tang troops.

The soldiers of the Japanese army were under great pressure in the face of the Tang army, which was pressed by black clouds, and everyone was afraid to fight with it.

Caught in a desperate situation and with no hope of victory, many Japanese generals said to the people of the sea: "Your Majesty, our army has entered the land of death, unless Amaterasu God appears, the whole army will be destroyed here." According to what the minister sees, it is better to ask the Tang army to surrender. ”

The people of the sea lost their temper with no emotion, looked at the east with infinite sadness, and said lonely: "The village country Nanyi, the big companion blows the negative, and the country is Malu, four years ago, the three of them led the army to defeat the big friend to help me ascend the throne, today, is there no way to help me break through?" ”

The third general lowered his head in shame, and the right guard superintendent Lian Guo Maro persuaded: "Your Majesty has descended, the Tang Kingdom prides itself on being the superior country of the Heavenly Empire, and has always treated the captured monarchs of other countries preferentially. Juchen knew that decades ago, the Eastern Turk Khan Jieli troops forced Chang'an, killed and plundered the Tang army and people, and forced the Tang emperor to form an alliance with the Weihe Bridge. Later, the first emperor of the Tang State destroyed the Eastern Turks, captured Jieli alive, and did not kill him, but gave the right guard general a house to live with his family, and gave it to the king of Guiyi after death. Also treated with the same treatment were Goguryeo King Gozang, Western Turkic Khan......"

Hearing this, the left minister of the bait department Jun jumped to his feet and scolded: "Lianguo Malu, as the governor of the right guard, you have the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor's safety, and you don't want to serve the country to repel the Tang army, but you took the lead in persuading you to surrender, and you should be killed!" ”

"The village country is a man, and the big partner is blowing, what are you two still doing in a daze? Why don't you take down Lian Guomalu and kill it to shock the hearts of the army? ”

Bait Jun Hu pointed to the nose of the second general and roared with exhaustion.

Although he was ashamed that he could not defeat the Tang army, he was pointed at his nose by a minister who did not understand military affairs and shouted like a slave.

The second general was indifferent, and the other low-status generals had little hope.

Bait Jun knelt down at the feet of the sea man in grief, and wept silently: "Your Majesty, I have been a great country for a thousand years, am I defeated today?" There are still two roads in our country, the East China Sea and the East Mountain, which have not fallen......"

The wife of the sea people, the Empress Uno Sanra, the old lover King Eda, the children of the Prince Kusakabe, the Prince of Otsu, and the Imperial Daughter of the Ten Cities, the right minister Yuki Akumaro, and the senator Mao Guang all cried silently.

The eyes of the sea people were red, and they looked around at their wives, concubines, children, and courtiers, and asked the generals of the guards on the left and right in an almost pleading voice: "Our army has 15,000 soldiers, can the two Aiqing take me out of the encirclement?" ”

Mura Kunio, the general of the Left Guard, had to explain a fact: "Our army has no ships to cross the Kiso River with the arrows of the Tang army on the other side, and even if we build a raft to force the crossing, whether we can break the more than 10,000 Tang troops on the opposite bank has only one chance of victory." What's more, the five thousand elite cavalry of the Tang army behind him will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill when our army crosses the river, and our army will definitely be defeated when they are flanked in front and back, Your Majesty. ”

"It's impossible for the Tang Army to give us time to cut down wood and build rafts."

The right guard general, Otomo, blew the negative rumbling.

The sheren Pu Jing Xiongqi took the lead and asked again: "Your Majesty has descended, and if you surrender, you can still save a trace of face for the Emperor of Japan, and if you are defeated and captured, then you will have to follow the fate of Kim Famin, the former king of Silla." Jin Famin refused to surrender to Jincheng, Chengpo was captured, and was thrown into a pigsty and humiliated by King Tang Yan, and then beheaded in front of the people of Jincheng Silla, and his wife and daughter were assigned to be slaves and maids. ”

"Your Majesty, take the initiative to surrender, the Tang army will at most escort you to Chang'an to offer prisoners, with the attitude of the Tang Emperor towards the captured monarch of the dead country, after the prisoners are surrendered, they will definitely be awarded officials and knights to enjoy the prosperity and wealth of the Tang Dynasty. After King Guan Tang Yan destroyed Silla, he made Kim Famin's eldest daughter the queen of Silla, and he would inevitably follow the system of Silla to Japan. Under the fetters and rule of the Tang Dynasty, it was inevitable that Japan would learn the Chinese etiquette, culture, political and economic system more conveniently, and eliminate all kinds of evils to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Your Majesty's surrender is beneficial and harmless to yourself or to Japan, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender to the Tang Army! ”

In addition to the left minister who was crying and grabbing the ground, the right minister Yuki Akumaro, the right emon governor Lianguo Maro, the left and right guard generals, and the senator Mao Guang and other important ministers knelt down and asked.

Oita Keichi even prepared the surrender document and pen and ink, and presented it in his hand and waited for the approval of the people of the sea before writing on the paperwork.

The officers and soldiers around saw that the important ministers of the court knelt together and asked to surrender, and they simply put down their weapons and knelt on the ground, silently urging the people of the sea to surrender.

Seeing this scene, the people of the sea trembled, and pointed their fingers at the military generals who went to Nishishige, and they were speechless. wanted to find comfort from the royal family, and in a blink of an eye, his wife, lover, son and daughter all knelt in front of him with a sad face. There is no way, they also have to live, knowing that they will die in battle, why should they send them to death?

"Good ......" the sea knotted and cried out: "Surrender!" ”

The military generals and imperial relatives who were kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, and Oita Etsuchi couldn't wait to draft a surrender document on the blank paperwork, and after writing it, he and Saemon Governor Yoshishi Irishi took a dozen courtiers to the Tang army behind him to pray for surrender.

Xue Ne looked at the prayer book handed over by Oita Huichi, and looked at the important ministers of the Wa Kingdom who were kneeling at his feet and laughed: "Today is the last day for His Royal Highness King Yan of my family to promise to destroy the Wa Kingdom in March, and you will take the initiative to surrender, so that the general will realize the wish of the King of Yan, and the general will not treat the monarchs and ministers of the Wa Kingdom badly." I went back and told the people of the sea that after half an hour, a surrender ceremony was held on the spot, and I ordered the countries of Tokaido, Higashiyamado, Nankaido, and Saikaido that were still resisting to surrender to our army and hand over the treasury and transportation arteries of each country......"
