Ye Yingwu knew very well that Hexi was not Guanzhong, and Dunhuang was not Jingzhaofu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Moreover, the big victory of Jingzhao Mansion was mainly due to the final inevitability of all kinds of mistakes. Whether it was Tong Lie who stood up at a critical time to tell the news of the retreat of the Janissary Mongolian army or Wu Chucai's choice to make a desperate bet at the most critical moment, it was actually an incredible coincidence - although this also reflected the high quality of the Ming generals and scouts from the side - but Ye Yingwu and the rest of the people knew that it was not so easy to replicate such a success.

What's more, there is a key factor in the victory of Jingzhao Mansion, that is, the city of Jingzhao Mansion is tall, and it is definitely not comparable to a city like Dunhuang that has been abandoned for many years, in the face of the same enemy, Wang Jin can use Jingzhao Mansion to hold on for three or four days, but there is no way to rely on Dunhuang to hold for more than two days.

But it took four to five days for the nearest reinforcements from Dunhuang to rush over, and the cavalry of the entire Central Plains and Guanzhong was even more withdrawn.

"At least it's right to protect the grain routes first." Ye Yingwu said softly, looking at Yutu and frowning.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the northern armies should be mobilized immediately to contain the Mongols, at least to give Kublai Khan a warning." Zhang Hao took a step forward, with an eager look on his face, "If we move slowly, I'm afraid Hexi will be in danger." ”

"It's not that you haven't seen the chapter of the household department before, and now the Ming Dynasty has no way to support a full-scale war, especially the Mongolian people have been mobilized in the north, the strong walls are clear, and the army can only rely on the rear to attack, winter is coming, if the army is dispatched, there will be more than lucky." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, "I can't let more than 100,000 soldiers go into battle hungry and cold. ”

Zhang Hao showed a hesitant look on his face, and his lips trembled slightly.

"It's reasonable that you can't think of a way to deal with it." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, "Because now that the Shence Army is alone in the west of the river, it may not be so easy for the Mongols to destroy the Shence Army, but it is very easy to bite a bite of meat on it." Now Hexi has become a dead move, as long as we make a move, Mongolia will inevitably give a prepared fierce counterattack. ”

"That's ・・・・・・" Zhang Hao slowly clenched his fists.

This sense of powerlessness that could only watch the battle situation fall made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable, and after being silent for a long time, he said softly: "Now Hexi is involved in the whole body, not to mention that it is involved in the Tubo in the south, and it is also involved in the dispute between the two factions of Mongolia, we have no clear explanation with Haidu, and this battle is inevitable・・・・・・

"There's another possibility." Ye Yingwu narrowed his eyes, "Maybe the entire Central Plains and Hexi are already dead chess, but there is still a place on this huge territory where I have just fallen a son, but I have never let it play a role, and now is the right time." ”

Zhang Hao followed Ye Yingwu's gaze with some astonishment, and happened to fall on Gao Li's position.

For a moment, he had a trance-like feeling, from Japan, where the navy was crusading, to Goryeo, this was actually another passage from the Central Plains through the islands as a springboard to the Mongolian rear. Once Goryeo, who had only been suppressed by the Mongols in the first place, and had been swallowing his anger despite resentment, was instigated by the Ming Dynasty, everyone could have predicted what kind of reaction the Goryeo people would make.

Such a passage has actually had a prototype since Ye Yingwu ran the Jiaozhou Naval Division, but after a major war, a few places were gradually laid, but normal people often ignore this passage when they think about it.

After all, in the eyes of most people, the sea is still an insurmountable moat.

But for the storm-ridden Ming Navy, it was a smooth passage.

Ye Yingwu played the chess piece in Gaolibu early, and obviously expected that one day he could threaten the Mongolian back, but he didn't use this chess piece in the previous two Northern Expeditions, and now he decided to use it, which shows that in Ye Yingwu's opinion, this is the most critical moment.

At a critical time, you need to make a decisive move, and this time Ye Yingwu did not hesitate at all.

Immediately turned around, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yangzi, let the people from the six doors and the Jinyi Guard come to meet the driver quickly!" ”

Zhang Hao took a soft breath.

And Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to hold down the table, and sneered softly: "I want to see how Kublai Khan will disassemble this move!" ”

――――――――――――――――――-

The wind howled, blowing the flags of warships in Boluo Bay.

Raising the clairvoyance in his hand, Fan Tianshun looked at the situation on the shore and said with a sneer: "There are about a thousand cavalry assembled in Baidaoyuan on the west side of Boluo Bay, and it is difficult to determine how many people there are in the Boluo Box Qi pine forest on the east side. ”

After a pause, Fan Tianshun looked at the middle-aged man dressed in Japan beside him, and the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed his head slightly. A look of disgust flashed in Fan Tianshun's eyes, but he still said lightly: "That's what the clairvoyant can see now, when the time comes, my Daming Water Division will divide the troops into two ways, attacking at the same time from the west side of Baidaoyuan and the east side of Boluo Box Qi, Baidao Yuan is still wide, how many enemies on it can be seen clearly, but the pine forest here of Boluo Box Qi is dense, and Mr. Zhuqi needs to bother." ”

The middle-aged man was the person who stood on the cliff to watch the tide, his full name was Takesaki Kicho, and he was one of the insignificant among the many princes of Kyushu Island in the Japanese Kingdom, but he knew very well that after today's war, perhaps the reputation of the Takeqi family would spread throughout Japan.

It's just that the word "traitor" may be added in front of this.

But Takesaki didn't regret it, because when he stood on the cliff and saw the huge fleet easily breaking the waves, he already knew what choice he should make. If the Zhuqi family hadn't obediently surrendered to Daming at that time, I'm afraid that the first unlucky person now would not be the Kyushu coalition army here in Boluo Bay, but the Zhuqi family.

With hundreds of warriors from the Takeqi family, Takesaki didn't think he could support even an hour in front of the Ming army's huge fleet.

Takesaki Jichang is also familiar with Chinese books, and among the vast history books, the sentence he is most interested in is "becoming a king and defeating a villain". Regardless of how those Japanese, including Hojo Tokimune, will jump to their feet and scold, Takesaki Jichang knows very well that once the Ming Dynasty conquers the whole of Japan, then the Zhuqi family, who first took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, is naturally the best spokesperson that the Ming can choose.

At the thought that the Kamakura shogunate would be replaced by the Takeki shogunate, and that the prince of heaven in the country was holding the prince and the invincible Hojo Tokimune possible to die without a place to be buried, Takesaki Kicho had an inexplicable refreshment.

"The general of the Celestial Empire, please rest assured, the Zhuqi family will naturally go to the soup for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and will not give up!" Because there were a lot of Chinese merchants in Japan, especially in the pre-Song Dynasty, there were many maritime merchants who settled here, so if Takesaki Jichang's Chinese is ignored by the occasional intonation error, it is still quite smooth.

Fan Tianshun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming, immediately notify General Liu, and let him be ready to lead the gunboat to attack at any time." ”

"No!" A soldier replied loudly, and the flag on the flagship fluttered in the wind.

"General, if my subordinates want to find out how many people are in the Boluo Box Qi Pine Forest, I'm afraid it will take some effort, and I'm afraid the general will have to ・・・・・・," Takesaki Jichang hurriedly said.

"Because there is a lack of things that can indicate the target, the pine forest can only take a strong attack, and the gunboats are useless, but the cavalry on the Baidao Plains is gathered, which can just give them a dismount." A smile appeared at the corner of Fan Tianshun's mouth.

It wasn't clear what the massive ships were doing, but Takesaki could guess just by looking at their size how many deadly crossbows and trebuchets they would be equipped with, not enough to inflict lethal damage on thousands of cavalry, but they could also serve to deter the enemy.

However, as the warships lined up in a long snake formation on the sea, the gun windows on one side of the ship opened, and the black barrel slowly stretched out, Takesaki Ji Chang's eyes widened, this kind of black pipe was definitely not the bed crossbow he had been lucky enough to see, let alone a huge trebuchet.

The cavalry belonging to the Otomo family on the Hyakamihara was still wandering arrogantly, and it was obvious to them that the stone bullets and arrows fired by so many warships were completely dodged, after all, it was completely too late to rush down the hill after seeing the movements of the warships.

"Lao Liu must be merciful, Lao Tzu doesn't have many shells in his hand, and he is counting on being able to fight all the way to Kamakura." Fan Tianshun muttered.

The drums on the flagship have already sounded.

On the leading boat in the front gunboat queue, the moment Liu Cheng heard the drums, his raised arm fell down suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Fire!" All the gunners on each gunboat shouted at the same time with all their might.

The artillerymen have always been loud and loud, and now they are so neatly roared that they have even drowned out the dull sound of hundreds of cannons firing at the same time. But in the blink of an eye, the sound of explosions on the hundred paths had already drowned out any other sounds.

The sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

Among the seven or eight hundred cannons, more than 100 are filled with flowering shells, and the rest are filled solid projectiles, the weight of flowering shells is relatively light, and they are the first to smash on the Baidao Plain, the entire cannonball bursts instantly, and countless shrapnel are raging, and the cavalry that was still showing off their might just now has disappeared under the baptism of these hundred shells, and the solid cannonballs that came one after another wiped out all the remaining Otomo cavalry in the dull sound of cannons.

Between heaven and earth, there is no sound. A pair of eyes that looked at Baidaoyuan with a variety of looks.

Not far away, in front of Boluo Bay, the flag that the Otomo family once fluttered proudly has slowly moved backwards. Takesaki Jichang, who also saw this scene, shook his head after being surprised. The reason why the Otomo family was able to occupy a place in the coalition army, and even belonged to the very strong force, in the final analysis, was because these cavalry of their family could crush the alliance of the rest of the family as long as they were pulled out casually, but who would have thought that these Ming gunboats were demonstrating, and they had wiped out all the efforts of the Otomo family for generations. Takesaki Kicho knows very well what kind of fate the Otomo family will face, and perhaps the Otomo family itself understands.

Turning his head a little stiffly to look at the gunboats that were still shrouded in gunsmoke not far away, Takesaki Jicho's Adam's apple rolled a little. He suddenly felt that he had made the most correct decision in his life by taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty and the Heavenly Empire, otherwise Takesaki Jichang would not dare to imagine how his subordinates could survive in this overwhelming artillery fire.

Japan just did not pay tribute to the Celestial Empire in the past two years because of the chaos on the mainland and the toughness of Hojo Shizong, who would have thought that it was these two years of hard work, this Ming Dynasty that rose like a comet, already had such advanced and sharp firearms!

The two entourages who followed Takezaki Ji Chang on the ship collapsed on the deck at this time, bowing their heads and not even daring to glance at the Ming soldiers standing next to them.

"It was a good fight." Fan Tianshun said lightly, "Mr. Zhuqi, I want to know when the situation over there in Boluo Box will be delivered." ”

Takesaki Jichang's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and said softly: "General of the Heavenly Empire, I'm afraid there is no need for the Zhuqi family to serve the general, because in front of such a firearm, no one will have the heart to resist." If you don't believe the general, you can look at it, I'm afraid that not only the Otomo family is retreating, but the rest of the princes are also preparing to retreat. ”

"Oh?" Fan Tianshun raised his clairvoyance to take a look, and sure enough, the flags fluttering in front of Boluo Bay were already a little scattered and retreated.

The gunboats in front had already opened fire again, and the heavy artillery fire was not aimed at Hyakudaohara this time, but directly landed on the frontal beachhead of Boluo Bay, where the Kyushu coalition forces were most dense.

Shells burst through the air with a roar, cutting dazzling curves in the air, learning from the experience of the previous time, the flowering shells were fired one step later than the solid shells, and in order to save ammunition, not too many flowering shells were fired. Shells smashed into the panicked crowd, and a soldier who was running backwards no longer bothered to look back at the falling shells, but just ran away desperately.

The flags that had once been scattered were now gone, either thrown directly on the ground or planted on the beach at random, and no one cared which team they belonged to, and no one cared how to fight the enemy.

Because they already knew at this moment that the roar from the heavenly kingdom was not something that they who were as humble as ants could bear.

Even the emperor, even Hojo Tokimune, who has always been respected and even admired in the country, is afraid that in the face of such a powerful hell flame, there is probably only one possibility of being captured.

The sea was stained red with blood, and the severed limbs of the shells were scattered on the beach. As the sea water gradually receded from his knees to the bottom of his boots, Fan Tianshun looked at the hellish scene around him, and suddenly realized that he seemed to overestimate the fighting spirit of these Japanese people, and also seemed to underestimate the power of artillery.

Subconsciously glanced back at the gunboats cruising in the sea, Fan Tianshun exhaled softly.

Fan Tianshun vowed that he would never want to face such a powerful firearm befalling him in his life, but fortunately, such a firearm was in the hands of Da Ming.

Rows of naval officers rushed to the beachhead, the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty had replaced all kinds of flags on the beachhead before, and the cavalry that had come ashore one after another had begun to storm in the direction of Baidaoyuan.

"It's a pity that a certain flank flanking tactic has been painstakingly formulated." Fan Tianshun kicked a corpse under his feet and couldn't help sighing.

And Takesaki Jichang, whose face was pale and almost vomited all the way, had already walked to Fan Tianshun's side with the support of his entourage, but when he saw the corpse at Fan Tianshun's feet for the first time, the expression on his face was more like a ghost, and his hands trembled and said slowly: "Celestial Empire・・・・・・ General of Celestial Empire, this ・・・・・・ this is Fujiwara Economic Resources!" ”

"Fujiwara Keishi?" Fan Tianshun was stunned.

Takesaki Jichang exhaled lightly, and only then did he calm down his heart, and said in a low voice: "This Fujiwara Keizai is the Jinsai Governor of the Kamakura Shogunate, and the guardian of the three front two islands・・・・・・ in other words, he is responsible for leading the princes to resist the attack of the Celestial Empire on this Kyushu Island. ”

Fan Tianshun looked at the corpse under his feet, and couldn't help but shake his head: "It's just that this guy is dressed with some bells and whistles." As for who he is, he really doesn't interest. ”

Squinting his eyes, Fan Tianshun turned to look into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "After this battle, I don't know how many such people will die." ”

After a pause, Fan Tianshun's gaze glanced at Takesaki Jichang, who took a step forward obediently: "This is the end of resisting Daming." ”

Takesaki Kicho subconsciously shivered. (To be continued.) )
