The history of the Han Dynasty records: In the third year of the Holy Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, the 9,000-year-old Meng Qiu led the 8,000-year-old Tiger Roaring Battalion to cross the mud bombardment, and in 42 days, he fought seven battles and won seven victories, killing more than 900 mud bombardment nobles such as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and other mud bombardment nobles, disintegrating the mud bombardment morale, and making its national fortune reversed and finally conquered by the Han Dynasty and became the province of Dongdao.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu chose the place as a camp is very tricky, as a terrifying existence who can completely defeat the Naoji clan and force the Southern Dynasty to surrender Emperor Kameyama, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not only proficient in political struggles such as thick black studies, but also a powerful general who is proficient in the art of war. The camp site was covered with grass on three sides, lacking shelter, and on the other side was a place of steep cliffs, so it can be said that a sneak attack would be discovered by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and hit him head-on.
In 358 (Shohei 13 / Enbun 3), Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was born, which happened to be the 100th day after the death of Ashikaga Takaji. When Yoshimitsu was young, the war between the Muromachi shogunate and the Southern Dynasty continued. After the disturbance, the struggle for power within the Muromachi shogunate intensified. Powerful generals such as the Hosokawa Kiyoshi clan, who lost power in the struggle for power, defected to the Southern Dynasty one after another. In 1361 (the 16th year of Shohei/the first year of Yasuyasu), the Hosokawa Kiyoshi led the Southern Dynasty army led by Kusunoki Masaki to capture Kyoto, and the young Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took refuge in Hakurashijo Harima, the residence of Akamatsu Norisuke. The following year, the Muromachi shogunate and the Northern Dynasty army recaptured Kyoto, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu returned to the capital to succeed him as shogun.
In 368, the evaluation began, and in April of the lunar calendar, the Yuan was served, and the leader Hosokawa Yoriyuki was the black hat pro. The following year, he was officially awarded the title of General of Zhengyi. Due to Yoshimitsu's young age, the Hosokawa clan monopolized the power of the Muromachi shogunate. Hosokawa Yoriyuki implemented the O'an Taifa and strengthened his control over the land, and he strengthened his rule over religion by establishing the Goyama system in Kyoto and Kamakura. At the same time, Imagawa Sadayo (Ryōtoshi) and Yoshihiro Ouchi were dispatched to Kyushu Island, the sphere of influence of the Southern Dynasty, weakening the rule of the Southern Dynasty in these areas.
In 1379, Toki Yoriyasu, the guardian of the Hosokawa Yoriyuki faction, surrounded Yoshimitsu's mansion and demanded Yoriyuki's dismissal. Therefore, Lai Zhi was removed from his position as consul and replaced by Espoyi. After that, all the personnel in the shogunate were replaced by the Spo faction, and the Spo Yi gave the order to crusade against Yoriyuki. However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu pardoned him the following year on the grounds that he was a senator, allowing the Hosokawa and Spo factions to coexist and contain each other, thereby increasing the power of the shogun. After the death of Toki Yoriyasu in 1390, the Toki clan of Mino Province fell into civil strife, and Yoshimitsu ordered a crusade against the Toki clan (Toki Yasuyuki Rebellion).
In 1391, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu intervened in the internal strife of the Yamana clan. At that time, the Yamana clan also served as the guardian of the 11 countries, and it was called "one hall of six points" at the time. Yoshimitsu skillfully asked the Yamana clan to raise troops, and in December of the same year, he sent troops to attack him, which is known as the Meitoku Rebellion.
In addition, in the third month of the lunar calendar in 1378, Yoshimitsu concurrently served as the general of the Right Guard, and five months later he also served as the head of the Quan Dai, and was supported by Sekihaku Nijo Yoshiki, who actively participated in the affairs of the imperial court; The following year, there was an incident in which the monks of Kofukuji Temple carried the sacred tree of the Kasuga Taisha Shrine into Beijing to force a lawsuit. Since the Kasuga Taisha Shrine was the home temple of the Fujiwara clan, the Fujiwara clan ministers in the court were very afraid and did not dare to enter the palace to serve. Yoshimitsu considers himself a descendant of Genji, and he is still as good as before. After that, Yoshimitsu supported the imperial court and severely cracked down on the power of the temple and society.
Yoshimitsu surpassed his grandfather Zunji and his father Yoshitsuna, and was successively promoted to Minister of the Interior and then Minister of Zuo. After 1382, Emperor Enami abdicated, and Emperor Go-Komatsu, who was pro-Yoshiman, ascended the throne. Although Hou Yuanrong nominally opened a court government, the real power was in the hands of Yiman. In 1383, he served as the elder of the Genji clan and concurrently served as the head of the two institutes of the Chunwa Scholarship School, and was given the title of "Quasi-Three Empresses", and became the head of both the public and samurai forces, and there were almost no opposition to Yoshimitsu in the imperial court.
In 1392, the power of the Southern Dynasties continued to decline, and the unification of the Southern and Northern Dynasties became an inevitable occurrence. Under the mediation of Yoshihiro Ouchi, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu negotiated with the Southern Dynasty. In the end, on the condition that the Emperor Go-Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty abdicated and handed over the three artifacts to Emperor Go-Komatsu. The reunification of the North and the South. However, after Emperor Komatsu obtained the three artifacts after the Northern Dynasty, he announced that his own son, Prince Minohito, would inherit the throne. The Southern Dynasty, which had been deprived of its artifact, could only submit to the rule of the Northern Dynasty.
In 1393, Emperor Go-Harmony, who was at odds with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, died, and Yoshimitsu's power was fully consolidated. The following year, Yoshimitsu relinquished his position as shogun to his son Ashikaga Yoshinori, and he continued to run politics in seclusion. In the same year, he was promoted to a minister of the imperial government, and the following year he became a monk, and the law was called morality. Yoshimitsu became a monk in order to control the power of the temple community more powerfully. On the occasion of Yoshimitsu's ordination, General Espoyi took the lead, and many leading figures of the samurai and public families followed him to become a monk.
In 1395, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu deposed Imagawa Sadayo, a Kyushu prospect who was in charge of local government affairs on his own. In 1399, Yoshihiro Ouchi raised troops in the western country, and Yoshimitsu sent troops to suppress the (Onaga Rebellion). After that, Yoshimitsu completely eliminated opposition in western Japan.
In the face of such an enemy, Meng Qiu did not dare to have the slightest carelessness of the enemy, and began to prepare for this battle before attacking the mud bombardment, the purpose of which was to kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in a battle and make the mud bombardment crowd leaderless. Then he can calmly lead more than 10,000 people and horses to turn the mud bombardment upside down, kill more mud bombardment people as much as he wants, and finally leave the mud bombardment comfortably with the stolen food, gold and silver treasures.
Wang Yinglong's movements were very fast, just in the second half of the night, most of the devils had slept like dead pigs, and the devils who patrolled and kept vigil also stopped and looked for a place to doze off, he took the elite of the Seven Thousand Tiger Roaring Battalion from the east and quietly touched a place less than 100 meters away from the main gate of the Devil Camp.
According to Wang Yinglong's arrangement, the 3,000 Tiger Roaring Battalion scattered in the grass, looking for a place to hide, and preparing to rob and kill the deserters of the devils after the launch, while Wang Yinglong took the 4,000 Tiger Roaring Battalion to converge with the 1,000 Tiger Roaring Battalion lurking in the north of the Devil's Camp in advance, preparing to attack.
Quietly detouring behind a bush, Wang Yinglongmao burrowed into a simple tunnel that had just been dug up, and the rest of the Tiger Roar Battalion troops followed, and more than 5,000 people disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he had already reached a place less than 100 meters away from the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu camp, Wang Yinglong made a gesture, and the three hundred crossbowmen who had already prepared on the side raised their light crossbows in their hands at the same time, and shot at the devil soldiers who were still sleeping not far away.
"Hehe, it's still the father-in-law who is powerful, this temporary tunnel, the digging camp is really powerful! Brothers, kill devils and add glory to their father-in-law! Listening to the screams of the devil soldiers when they were dying, Wang Yinglong drew out his two-handed heavy sword, and rushed towards the devil soldier camp with a loud roar, and the five thousand tiger roaring battalion soldiers behind him let out a roar, pulled out their weapons and roared wildly and pounced on the sleeping ghost soldiers.
At a distance of less than a hundred, the Tiger Roar Battalion only needed a few breaths to reach and rushed into the large camp of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army, which was completely protected by any fences and trenches. All the soldiers of the Tiger Roar Battalion gathered together and swept through like a torrent, passing by the tent in groups of three, one on the side to guard and defend, and the other two picked up their crossbows and shot at the tent.
This process is almost like the assembly line operation of precision instruments, precise, efficient, and cruel, and before the soldiers on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's side could react, more than 4,000 people were killed by the Tiger Roar Battalion, and more than 1,000 people were seriously injured and unable to fight.
"Damn it! Are these people sent by evil spirits to help the 'Tang Army'? Warriors, Amaterasu is with us, accept the blessing of Amaterasu, kill all the demons, and defeat the 'Tang Army'" At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu reluctantly gathered an elite army composed of more than a thousand samurai, ready to launch a counterattack, stabilize the formation and defeat the enemy army.
These samurai are not ordinary people, they are all swordsmanship masters summoned from the whole country by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu over the years, spending countless manpower, financial resources and force, taking advantage of the rich wealth, generous treatment and power to control the mud bombardment of the whole country. Then, after many years of support and training by the Muromachi shogunate, he became a diehard loyalist of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the sharpest sword in his hand.
This group of samurai has two major weapons in battle, one is the extremely sharp katana, each of their katana is made by skilled craftsmen, after a long time of fine work, sharpening iron like mud, blowing hair can be broken, and the other is their swordsmanship that they have learned and practiced diligently since childhood, which makes each of them become a first-class individual combat powerhouse.
It's a pity that they met the Tiger Roar Battalion, a strong army that has been trained by Meng Qiu to lead several eras!
In the face of the oncoming samurai troops, the Tiger Roar Battalion did not panic in the slightest, and everyone picked up the crossbow on their waists without saying a word, and shot at the oncoming samurai troops. Then, regardless of the other party's losses, everyone pulled out a few iron rods from their waists and quickly assembled them into a thick and sturdy iron rod.
"Kill the little devil!" Wang Yinglong roared angrily, swept his heavy sword sideways, and directly cut off a ghost warrior who was rushing towards him, and rushed forward like a whirlwind. The big iron rod behind him smashed directly into the head of the devil samurai.
In the face of this tactic, the devil samurai has almost nothing to do, cut the opponent's iron stick is too thick, the katana will not cut at all, but it will be smashed by the iron rod, if you don't cut it, there is no place to hide, and the overwhelming stick will be smashed down, even if you want to hide, there is no time to hide.
"Ahh
"Click"
"Ya Butterfly!"
"Ahh Amaterasu save me! ”
......
A burst of screams came, and the army composed of more than a thousand warriors was routed on the spot by the Tiger Roar Battalion, except for a few who escaped, most of them were directly smashed in the head and died on the spot.
"Hehe, it's broken! Slaughtered Ashikaga Yoshimitsu! Wang Yinglong cheered and went towards Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to kill, and today he will use the head of this old devil to prove the bravery and success of the Tiger Roar Battalion!
