In the sky above Xiaguan, the remnant sun was like blood, and thick black smoke rose into the sky. ⊙ Topline Novel,

Some soldiers and Japanese civilians worked to extinguish the houses that were still burning.

Others collected the Japanese soldiers who had died in battle and prepared to be incinerated in a centralized manner.

After experiencing a battle that was not too fierce in Lu Yan's eyes, Lu Yan finally defeated the thousands of garrisons here and completely gained a foothold in Xiaguan.

At this time, in Xiaguan, except for some Japanese people who had difficulty giving up their family business, Lu Yan's soldiers were everywhere.

Nearly 100,000 Tang Dynasty cavalry, Ming Dynasty family members and Mongolian elite cavalry filled the entire Xiaguan, and everywhere you could see was a cavalry with no end in sight.

In addition, there were 80,000 infantry troops, guarding Lu Yan's camp layer by layer in the middle.

Even if some Japanese ninjas wanted to assassinate Lu Yan, it would be impossible at all.

Seeing this, all the civilians of the Japanese Kingdom were as pale as earth.

With such a strong army in hand, how could those Japanese soldiers be opponents.

"50,000 Mongolian iron cavalry is really too little, if you can give me 100,000 fine cavalry, I guarantee that you don't need to go out of the horse, just my men can sweep the entire Wa country."

Inside Lu Yan's big tent, Tuo Lei said with a fanatical expression.

But Lu Yan can still come out of his eyes, and he has an ambition that is not hidden at all.

"Fifty thousand is enough, of which 5,000 I have to stay behind to help collect food."

Lu Yan shook his head, and then rejected him.

Hearing this, Tuo Lei felt a little disappointed.

He had asked many times, but Lu Yan had rejected all of them, and it seemed that Lu Yan did not intend to release too many Mongolian iron horses.

"This time, I want you to spearhead the Mongol Iron Horsemen. Capture the cities of the Japanese kingdom. I don't know what you think? ”

Lu Yan asked.

The Mongolian Iron Horse is most famous for its mobility. The maneuverable distances of up to 120 to nearly 200 miles a day are enough to make any country fearful.

Because you haven't reacted yet. The enemy may have come to your city.

"I don't think there's a problem. It's just that I need more mounts, and I'm afraid one person and two rides won't be enough. ”

Tuo Lei thought for a moment and said.

"Then I will send you 45,000 war horses, so that you can do one man and three horses. I hope you will live up to the name of the Mongolian Iron Horseman. ”

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

The elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is also one person and two horses, to be honest, Lu Yan still has a headache for too many war horses under his command.

"Please rest assured, we will never let you down. Prepare our rations for ten days, and we'll set out tomorrow. ”

Tuo Lei said confidently.

"No problem."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said.

So Lü Yan ordered people to prepare supplies and war horses for the Mongols overnight, and at dusk the next day, about 45,000 Mongolian iron horsemen set off.

Due to the fact that the speed of the Mongol cavalry was simply too fast. They can march day and night.

You can even sleep on a horse, and traveling a hundred miles a day is a trivial matter, and it is usually more than a hundred miles a day, so Lu Yan has no intention of restricting them.

He gave Tow Lei great authority, allowing him to search for fighters on his own.

Where to fight and how to fight is entirely up to him.

At this moment, more than 45,000 Mongolian cavalry were completely like wild horses on the loose, completely unleashing their speed.

Along the way, they rushed forward wildly, before the Japanese ** team did not react at all. The army has already approached the city, and then took advantage of the chaos to raid the enemy's city.

Not to mention some of the wild Japanese teams. Before many of the Japanese ** teams could react, they were defeated by a burst of killing.

In addition, Lü Yan also equipped these Mongolian cavalry with some divine crossbows and leopard running arrows.

They would sometimes inflict heavy casualties on enemy musketeers and archers with their crossbows, and then cavalry charges, facing 45,000 Mongol cavalry, and no daimyo could be their opponent except for Tokugawa Iemitsu's main force.

Therefore, along the way, the cavalry under Tuo Lei was really like entering a no-man's land.

Every day, he had to advance more than 130 miles to the east, leaving Lu Yan's army far behind.

Of course, this is also a blessing that there are not many cities in the Wa Kingdom.

Since Tokugawa Ieyasu unified the Wa Kingdom, he issued a decree of one country and one city, that is, a vassal state was allowed to have only one castle.

As a result, the daimyo had to demolish the redundant castles.

In the case of Hirado, in order to win the trust of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Matsuura clan took the initiative to demolish Hirado Castle, and it was for this reason that Lyu Yan did not encounter much resistance when attacking Hirado.

And now, the Wa Kingdom, which does not have much city protection, is almost the fat under Lu Yan's knife, and Lu Yan is at his disposal.

Seven days later, more than 40,000 Mongol troops had arrived at the city of Kyoto.

Kyoto, the capital of Japan and the seat of the Emperor of Japan, was the capital of Japan from 794 A.D. until 1868, when the capital was moved from Kyoto to Tokyo (Edo) after the Battle of the Shogunate.

For more than 1,000 years, Kyoto has been one of Japan's most important political centers.

Although it has gone through a lot of battles, it is the first time that it has been beaten to the city by the foreign ** team.

At this time, the castle of Kyoto was covered with the corpses of Mongol soldiers and Japanese soldiers, and Tuo Lei tried to sneak up on Kyoto, but almost succeeded.

However, under the hard work of the Japanese samurai, they finally failed.

Seeing this, Tuo Lei felt a little disappointed.

He was still very interested in the emperor who captured the Japanese kingdom.

It's just that now it seems that it will take a lot of effort to conquer Kyoto.

"Go and capture some Japanese civilians, I will prepare to attack the city. In addition, a captive was sent to inform the Emperor of Wakoku that if he did not surrender after 10 days of siege, he would slaughter the city. ”

Tuo Lei said with a cold face.

Hearing this, Jebe and the others were not surprised, because this was the style of the Mongols, so they immediately sent a large army to capture the civilians of the Japanese state.

At this time, at the head of the castle in Kyoto, Guan Bai (equivalent to the Chinese prime minister) Konoe Shinhiro trembled in horror.

Even from the city walls, the enemy's cavalry was endless.

Even if he was surrounded by samurai in Kyoto, he couldn't give him enough security.

"How could they have come so quickly? Didn't we just get the news the day before yesterday that they landed in Shimonoseki? Why did they all arrive at Kyoto Castle today? ”

Konoe Shinhiro said with some hysteria.

The long march of nearly a thousand miles in seven days was something he could never have imagined in any case.

With such a long distance, if it was a Japanese army, I am afraid that it would have to walk for a month.

Yesterday, he was even discussing with His Majesty the Emperor where Tokugawa Iemitsu would fight the Ming army, but he didn't expect that the enemy would already be in the city today.

This is ridiculous!

The nobles and samurai were also pale and did not know how to answer this question.

At this time, Konoe Shinhiro also knew that he was a little out of shape, so he ordered those samurai to pay attention to their defense, and not to let the Mongols attack.

The samurai nodded their heads again and again, not daring to be careless at all.

At this time, a Japanese man came over, escorted by several Mongol cavalry, and this situation attracted the attention of the city head.

They knew that the Japanese were sent by the enemy.

"What do you say? They said that if they did not surrender within ten days of the siege begins, they would slaughter the city. ”

Listening to the words of the Japanese captive, Konoe Shintomo couldn't help but change his color.

The Japanese captive nodded, and then began to curse the Mongols, crying and shouting for seppuku to thank the emperor.

Konoe Nobuhiro didn't have the time to ink with him, but took him to meet Emperor Goteno.

He felt that he had to send someone to break through the siege and ask Tokugawa Iemitsu for reinforcements, otherwise they would not be able to resist these Mongol armies with their forces. (To be continued......)

PS: What should I do if I can't get up lately?
