Chapter 470: Landing on the Wa Kingdom
.
Lu Houcai led more than 200 horsemen, speeding straight to the south gate of Kamakura, and the ashigaru guarding the south gate was nowhere to be seen, after all, the sound in the city was too loud, and everyone in the city knew that there were thieves who broke through Kamakura City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If a castle is attacked by an enemy brigade, the protection of the four gates is meaningless, and of course the ashigaru people have escaped without a trace.
Lu Houcai left more than a dozen people to guard the city, and rushed out of the south gate with other cavalry troops, the road from the south gate to the dock is still very wide, and the official road is lined with shops, which is the famous castle town of Kamakura Castle, where merchants gather.
Of course, it is also the place where the crowd gathers, and although many people are frightened and flee by the riots in the city, the merchants and men of the shops cannot escape, so they can only stay in the shops.
In addition, the more than 20 ashigaru who controlled the castle town and their names were unknown, so they didn't dare to leave their posts without permission.
As soon as they approached the city gate, there was a deafening roar from inside, and several tall horses and fierce knights in full armor rushed out of the doorway, and rushed into the ashigaru queue in three breaths.
Immediately, the ashigaru were hit and rolled on the ground, and then the follow-up knights rushed in succession, stepping on the ashigaru's body and rushing to the dock.
Lu Mingde and his subordinates did not encounter any resistance at all, there was no fighting, Lu Houcai's machete was useless, and the captivity army had already rushed to the dock.
The merchants in the shop watched in amazement as the black-and-red-armored knights rushed through the castle like the wind, and after being frightened, they hurriedly began to close the storefront, avoiding the need to say anything for a while, and did not lose their lives.
Lu Houcai led the soldiers to the wharf, where several small morning and fishing boats were moored, and two sea boats were towed up for repairs on the shore.
Lu Houcai immediately ordered the two shops closest to the wharf to be demolished and the timber gathered at the wharf.
The two Japanese merchants and their men in the shops were driven out in a daze. Then they saw that the shop was demolished by the Ming sailors, and the two merchants wept bitterly.
The timber was piled up by the cavalry of the Broken Army, and then two wooden boats and a pyre were ignited, and half-wet grass was thrown on them, as three large puffs of black smoke rose up.
A few miles to the southwest, the lookouts of two clippers saw three puffs of black smoke rising from the northeast. Immediately turn southwest.
The battle in Kamakura Castle soon ended, more than 1,000 armored soldiers entered Kamakura Castle, almost all resistance was stopped, and several samurai with their men resisted, and the result was that the whole family was slaughtered.
As long as it resists, even the slightest insult will be immediately slashed and killed, and the bloody and violent methods of the Breaker Army have plunged the whole city into silence.
Two hours later, a huge fleet of the Breakers arrived from the southwest, and they covered the sea outside Kamakura Castle.
The eagle-headed flag fluttered on each battleship. If the people of the shogunate sailors were here, they would have seen at a glance that this was the warship of the Jeju Akito.
At present, there are more than a dozen small boats, and they continue to explore the depth of the water, and find that the water here is extremely deep, enough for all the warships of the Broken Army to unload.
Under the deployment of Li Hu, the naval division of the Broken Army began to approach the dock and unload the personnel and horses.
The dock in Kamakura was not too big, and only two warships could be unloaded close together, and it was already evening, so the first to unload were 2,000 Beihua reserve troops. After all, it is necessary to consolidate the landing field and defend Kamakura Castle.
Guan Ming took the lead in boarding the dock and coordinated the unloading of the reserve army. At the same time, it is necessary to take over the heavy responsibility of defending Kamakura from Nan Yong, after all, it is unreliable for cavalry to defend the city, although Beihua's reserve army is also equipped with horses, but it is still a cavalry army on horseback, and the preparation of horses is just to strengthen its mobility.
That night, after Kamakura Castle entered the 2,000-strong garrison, the landing site of the Breaker Army was completely secured. At this time, it is useless for tens of thousands of enemy troops to attack.
By noon the next day, the remaining 6,000 troops were all ashore, and the construction of a large camp began outside the north gate.
At this time, Zhao Lie couldn't stay on the Li Ji anymore, and he took Zhao Dayu Dabao to the dock in Kamakura surrounded by three hundred guards.
After entering the southern city from the pier of Kamakura Castle, a quaint town of ancient Japanese people was revealed in front of Zhao Lie's eyes.
All this vaguely carries the shadow of the invincible country in the world in later generations. If anything, there are no later brick and concrete houses or commercial buildings, just low-slung wooden houses.
Seeing that the houses and temples along the street were intact, Zhao Lie couldn't help but nodded, this battle to capture the city was a complete success.
This was ordered by him and his subordinates after several discussions, that is, to use the Tokugawa family's usual equipment and banners captured in the naval battle in their hands, so that the cavalry of the Broken Army disguised themselves as the samurai of the Tokugawa family, raided Kamakura Castle, and took this landing site at the lowest cost.
Kamakura Castle is the landing area determined by Zhao Lie, Li Hu, Li Lu, Han Jian, Wang Haizhou and others after many discussions, first of all, the barren beach is not to think about, after all, the broken army needs a place where the road is clear, and the army can march quickly, not to mention that there are a large number of marching artillery also need official roads.
In the past, when fighting with Jiannu, his mobility was too poor, and he would never dare to bring too much artillery to help, otherwise his slow marching speed would be his life.
This time the machine power is the specialty of the Broken Army, of course, it is necessary to bring more marching guns.
Kamakura Castle, located 100 miles southwest of Edo, was chosen, just a few dozen miles west of the mouth of Edo Bay, avoiding the newly built Edowan Fort Group.
The roads leading from Kamakura to Sagami, Musashi, and Edo lead in all directions, making it an ideal landing location.
Therefore, the fleet made a big detour from the deep sea south of Kyushu and approached Kamakura from the south, thus completely avoiding the foreign daimyo sailors in Kyushu and other places.
After the last war, even the daimyo in various places were left with the offshore ships Xiaozao, and no matter how far away the sea area was the world of the patrol ships of the Broken Army, no one dared to go deeper, otherwise encountering the patrol ships of the Broken Army would be the end of the ship's destruction and death.
The entire fleet of more than 200 sea-going ships approached Sagami Bay without being disturbed, and of course all the Japanese fishing boats and sea-going ships encountered along the way were sunk into the icy waters.
Who let them have bad luck to meet the Broken Army Sailor, the so-called encounter is fate, but unfortunately it is a bad fate here, and they directly gave their lives.
The fleet carried more than ten sand boats, carrying the Nan Yongqian Corps, and the Nan Yongqian Corps, who was born in the scout team, was awarded the important task of capturing the city, after all, walking behind the enemy line made Nan Yong and his subordinates familiar with going deep behind the enemy line.
It is most appropriate for this figure who has been sneaking behind enemy lines for more than 20 miles to hand it over to them.
More than 10 sand boats ran aground on the coast of more than 10 miles southwest of Kamakura, just to facilitate the convenience of Nan Yongqian's corps to land nearby, otherwise it would be a big deal to wait for a long time on the beach and be discovered and denounced by the Japanese people.
Nan Yongqian's corps successfully landed on the shore, and this was the scene of camouflaged seizure of the city.
Zhao Lie expressed satisfaction with the execution of the Broken Army's planning, stealth, and finally successful capture of the city.
On the way, Zhao Lie met Nan Yong to meet him, and Zhao Lie praised him for his perfect capture of the city, and ordered him and his men to rest immediately.
"Nan Yong, do you dare to go to the hinterland of the Japanese with the new department." Zhao Lie pointed to the yellow-green earth in the north with his hand.
Nan Yong bowed his hand proudly, "Where the adult points to, where Nan Yong hits, there is no ambiguity." ”
Zhao Lie laughed, "Okay, you rest with Jiaxin for two days, and set off in two days, I will see the beacons all over the Kanto of the Wa Kingdom, and burn down all the houses, temples, and castles you meet, if there are resisting Japanese people, well, or all the Japanese who intend to resist will be killed, but don't fight with the Japanese army." ”
"The subordinates obey the order, and what the subordinates have to do is to use the cavalry to leave with one blow and destroy the strength of the Japanese people." Nan Yong replied with a hideous smile.
If other Ming people may have doubts about Zhao Lie's bloody orders, but Nan Yong, who has seen the bloody and cruel methods of Jiannu, has no pedantic ideas in this regard, what he has to do is to copy what Jiannu did in Liaodong and Beijing, and copy it in the Wa Kingdom, it is really simple.
Zhao Lie smiled and nodded, as a subordinate from Liaomin, he had no resistance to the implementation of such a military order, and the blood and filth they saw in the world were unimaginable to ordinary people.
Accompanied by his escorts, Zhao Lie continued on his way and stopped at a slope where a majestic temple had been built from the foot of the mountain to the slope, and a huge stone was carved on it with the four large characters of Hachiman Shrine.
Seeing this, Zhao Lie couldn't help but smile slightly, a very familiar memory, in fact, Hachiman Shrine and shrines are everywhere in Japan, and some are like this one in front of him, covering an extremely wide area and having many houses, all of which were built by powerful daimyo.
There are also ordinary temples, and there is even a thatched house that is the grass platform of Hachiman Shrine.
However, the shrine in front of him is the Kamakura Hachiman Shrine, which was established by the previous shogunate as a family guardian deity, and later he heard that it was also renovated and expanded by the Tokugawa shogunate as his own god to protect the samurai.
Zhao Lie led everyone to this so-called Hachiman Shrine, entered the temple, and some Japanese monks ushered in.
Zhao Lie raised his hand in disgust, and the guards under his command immediately began to drive away these monks, driving more than 100 Japanese monks to the side and kneeling down to obey orders.
Zhao Lie inspected the situation of the shrine and was extremely satisfied with the dozens of extremely spacious and solemn houses built, especially the large hall with hundreds of square meters, and the newly built five-story bell tower on the north side had the function of watching and watching.
All these convenient conditions immediately made Zhao Lie decide to use this place as the base camp of the Broken Army, that is, the place where he was stationed.
As for where these Japanese monks are placed, Zhao Lie doesn't care at all, even if all his subordinates are slaughtered, he doesn't have any opinions, as long as he doesn't let him see it with his own eyes.
Zhao Lie's guards immediately went to inform Li Hu, Li Lu, Han Jian, Guan Ming and others on the dock and north of the city that the shrine was the location of the commander of the Broken Army.
