Immediately after receiving the order to tow mines, the Mongol army launched an attack on Kyoto.

Nearly 20,000 Mongol light cavalry rode on their horses, forming a very loose formation and quickly approaching Kyoto, and about 10,000 Mongol heavy cavalry followed closely behind them, ready to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

Looking at the black and oppressive enemy under the city wall, Konoe Shinto's face looked a little pale, and the faces of the people around him couldn't see anywhere.

Now their musketeers and archers are largely depleted, and there is not much long-range strike power left.

But soon he smiled slightly, and then pointed to a person dressed as a ninja next to him and said to the nobles and samurai around him, "Come, let me introduce to you, this is the ninja Hattori Masashige sent by the Shogun." ”

Hearing this, the nobles and samurai couldn't help but be surprised, and then quickly became pleasantly surprised.

The Mongols surrounded Kyoto and almost completely cut them off from the outside world.

Unfortunately, there is a class called Ninja in the Wakuni Kingdom, which is very good at performing various stealth activities at night, including crossing enemy lines.

After learning that Kyoto was surrounded by heavy troops, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but be surprised.

The importance of Kyoto is undeniable, and the emperor is the supreme symbol of the Japanese kingdom and is of great importance to the Japanese people.

In order to prevent the emperor from falling into the hands of the enemy, he immediately abandoned all original plans and led a large army to the starry night of Kyoto, while Hattori Masasshige came one step ahead to report the news.

"Is the General's reinforcements coming soon?"

A nobleman couldn't help but ask with a look of surprise.

Hattori Masahiro's face was solemn, and he assured Konoe Shinhiro and the noble samurai, "Please rest assured, the Shogun's 100,000-strong army will arrive within two days at most, as long as you support it for two days at most." The siege of Kyoto will be solved. ”

Hearing his words, the nobles and samurai here couldn't help but be overjoyed, and some even exclaimed.

An army of 100,000?

As soon as the 100,000 army arrived, the enemy under the walls was not frightened and fled.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's reinforcements gave them hope that it would still be possible to resist the enemy's attack for two days with their forces.

I saw a morale boost to my subordinates. Konoe Shinhiro's face was slightly colored.

At the same time, he ordered the news to be spread quickly, and upon hearing the news, the samurai of the Wa Kingdom immediately let out bursts of cheers.

The strength of the enemy made them despair, but in the most desperate moment, Konoe Nobuhiro gave them hope again, and they became fighting again.

The nobles and samurai kept surrounding Hattori Masashige to inquire about the news of Tokugawa Iemitsu's army, and Hattori Masashige patiently gave them answers.

Listen to Hattori Masashige say so carefully. It's not like it's fake. These noble warriors were also completely relieved, and then decided to fight the Mongols fiercely.

At this time, the Mongol cavalry was getting closer and closer to the walls of Kyoto, and soon they were within a hundred paces.

"Fire! Shoot it!! ”

Soon, the only cannon on the walls of Kyoto was fired.

Although some of the gunners of the Wa Kingdom died, there were still some who could fire at the enemy.

The rumbling of artillery began the battle. A dense rain of bullets rained down on the Mongol cavalry.

But the formation of the Mongol cavalry was very loose, so not many were shot.

The Mongol cavalry did not hesitate to return the color, and as soon as they came within effective range of their bows and arrows, they immediately dismounted, took advantage of the cover of their horses, and then shot arrows at the head of the city together with the archers in the trenches.

Dense arrows flew towards the city like locusts, and as more and more Mongol light cavalry came into range, the number of these arrows became more and more dense.

Later. Thousands of arrows are fired at the castle head of Kyoto almost every second, and the dense rain of arrows covers every corner of the castle like a torrential rain.

This was the first time Konoe had seen such a powerful arrow rain attack, and the dense arrows seemed to obscure the sky. Even the sky was darkening.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

“……”

The warriors at the head of the city were immediately hit by arrows, no matter how strong their strength was, it was not of much use in the face of this dense rain of arrows.

So some of the samurai raised their shields to defend themselves against the enemy's rain of arrows, and some of those who did not have shields also found a place to hide, and the city was in a panic for a while.

Even Shinhiro Konoe, who came to supervise the battle, was hit by two arrows, so frightened that he hurriedly hid under the city wall with Hattori Masashige and others.

Each Mongol archer was shooting arrows at the top of the city as fast as they could. They are all the best shooters.

In a short period of time, they fired more than 200,000 arrows at the castle of Kyoto.

In the face of such a terrifying rain of arrows. Those Japanese warriors suffered extremely heavy losses.

And those Mongol heavy cavalry took advantage of this time to rush up, and they rushed up the gentle slope. Then he climbed the castle wall and fought fiercely with the samurai and ashigaru of the Wa Kingdom.

"Kill!"

A heavy cavalryman brandished his saber and slashed at a Japanese samurai.

The samurai immediately picked up his katana and met him, but the arrow wound on his body made his movements much sluggish, and he was a little unable to exert his strength.

The heavy cavalryman slashed off his katana, and then cut off his head.

Because the Mongols eat meat for many years, they are generally tall and strong, and they are powerful.

Although those Japanese warriors were strong in martial arts, they were short in stature, and their strength was somewhat inferior to that of the Mongols.

The height of the ancient Wa people was generally between 1.3 and 1.6 meters.

For example, neither Tokugawa Ieyasu nor Date Masamune reached 1.6 meters, in fact, their height is quite tall.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was even more because he couldn't eat enough when he was a child, and he was only about 1.4 meters tall.

Some are shorter than them, such as Terumasa Ikeda and Yamaguchi Masakai, the first lord of Harima Province, are both 1.30 meters, and even more extreme is Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the fifth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, who is only 1.24 meters.

Until now, these people can only be regarded as dwarves. This shows how tall the Wa people were at that time.

Therefore, in the face of the Mongols, who can be called giants, both sides have their own advantages.

However, because many of the warriors of the Wa Kingdom were wounded by arrows, and the number was far inferior to that of the Mongol army.

Therefore, the Mongol heavy cavalry had an absolute advantage and was occupying the city walls step by step.

Seeing this, Konoe Nobuhiro felt a little worried.

It seems that they will have to find an opportunity to withdraw to the palace and take over. The Imperial Palace of the Wa Kingdom also had a walled city.

Relying on this wall, it is no problem to hold it for two days.

Mimasaka Province, a large cavalry team is rapidly advancing in the direction of Kyoto.

Lu Yan was startled by the action of dragging mines, he didn't expect the action of dragging mines to be so fast, and he actually wanted to go straight to Kyoto.

Lu Yan was still very interested in capturing the emperor of the Japanese kingdom, and after learning the news. He couldn't wait to gather a large number of cavalry and began to march towards Kyoto.

"You mean, the Imperial Office of the Wa Kingdom has sent a secret envoy who wants to see me."

Ze'an quickly found some of Lu Yan's cavalry and then asked them to relay their identities.

After knowing the news. Lu Yan was a little surprised.

In fact, up to now, it stands to reason that the two countries should have some official contacts, such as issuing some righteous and solemn condemnations.

However, because Tokugawa Iemitsu was young and vigorous, and Lu Yan did not take the Japanese country seriously, the two sides fought directly, and the high-level leaders of the two sides have not had any contact until now.

"That's right, the other party is headed by a monk, and he said that he is the envoy of the previous shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada."

The cavalryman said.

For the Wa Kingdom, a monk was sent as an envoy. Lu Yan felt a little strange.

But it soon occurred to him that this might be the reason why Tokugawa Hidetada didn't want to make a statement, after all, he was just a secret envoy.

"Bring them here, and I'll see them."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

Soon after a search, Sawaan was brought over. And the samurai who were protecting were stopped.

Lu Yan looked at Ze'an curiously, and found that he was dressed as a monk and looked a little kind.

The height is the same as that of ordinary Japanese people, and he looks a little low, about 1.5 meters.

Ze'an also looked at Lu Yan with a complicated expression, it was precisely because of Lu Yan's actions. It led to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.

In the end, I don't know how many people died.

"The poor monk Ze'an has seen the prince."

Ze Gelding sang a Buddha horn and said.

His Chinese is not very standard. But Lu Yan could fully understand what he said, and it seemed that Tokugawa Hidetada still put some thought into choosing a messenger.

Lu Yan nodded. Then he smiled and said, "I don't know what the master sent here by the Great Imperial Palace has any teachings, is he going to surrender?" ”

Lu Yan's words were a little arrogant, but Ze'an's cultivation was very good, and there was not the slightest angry expression on his face.

"Amitabha, the prince's words are wrong. Our great palace can't bear to see the two countries at war and let the lives be miserable, so we sent poor monks to settle grievances for the two countries. It is hoped that the two countries will be able to call off the army and make peace, so that the people will not suffer from the sword soldiers. ”

Zean said compassionately.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!! It's so funny! ”

Lu Yan suddenly laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest words in the world.

Ze'an looked at Lu Yan with some surprise, he didn't understand why Lu Yan's reaction was so big.

"Your Japanese kingdom has been violating my Ming Dynasty since the founding of our Ming Dynasty, and there has been no interruption for more than two hundred years. How many of our people died at the hands of your widows, do you know this number? Now you just want to resolve the grievances between the two countries with just one sentence, do you think things are so simple? ”

Lu Yan said coldly.

For the arduous task of this trip, Ze'an had already prepared in his heart, so he calmed his mood, and then said calmly: "Our God's invasion of the Ming Dynasty was caused by the two conquests of our country by the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and the matter at that time was not in charge of our Tokugawa shogunate, so you can't blame us for this matter." ”

"Since it is because of Mengyuan's crusade against your country, why don't you settle accounts with the Mengyuan Empire, but keep violating our Ming Dynasty."

Lu Yan said coldly, "And some daimyo have been secretly supporting those Japanese invaders, and now they are still serving as daimyo in your Japanese country, do you think I am blind?" ”

Hearing this, Zean couldn't help but be speechless.

They wanted to settle accounts with the Mongol Yuan Empire, but the Mongols were all inland, so they couldn't find it even if they wanted to.

But soon he said, "Our Great Imperial Court also knows that there is something wrong with our Wa country, so we are willing to make appropriate compensation to dispel the resentment of your country." ”

"Reparations?"

Lu Yan did not expect Tokugawa Hidetada to make such a concession.

But soon he said with great firmness: "Very humble, I refuse." ”

"Why? The Lord of the Great Imperial Palace has already shown considerable sincerity? ”

Zean looked surprised.

"Why?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, until he almost laughed out of tears.

Why?

Of course, it is because of the nearly 20 million souls who died across the country during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!

The hatred between China and Japan is broader than the sky and deeper than the ocean.

China forgave Japan's war debts, but how did Japan treat China?

They don't admit war crimes at all, revise textbooks, and hold on to the thigh of the United States to bite China, oppose China in everything, and desperately want to interrupt China's rise.

Is there any good way for such a country other than to completely eradicate it?

In Lu Yan's eyes, one of the two countries must fall.

For the nearly 20 million souls who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and for the people who have died under the sword of the Japanese for more than 200 years.

He must completely knock the country down, and he will never turn over in hell.

Only in this way can China have an incomparably bright future.

As the so-called non-our race, their hearts must be different, and it is no longer suitable for the Japanese people and the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. (To be continued)
