Chapter 1127: Bloody Kyoto (2)
"Baga, a group of cowards, if you don't dare to fight, get out, if you are willing to fight, come with me!"
Seeing that a group of daimyo were fighting for no result, the grumpy Sei Kazutori was angry, took the unsheathed katana and slashed it fiercely, roared, and turned around to rush out. ∈ ↗ top novel,
"Fight, those who don't fight are turtles!"
"Let's go, enter the Imperial Palace, and rescue His Majesty the Emperor!"
"the people!"
……
Sei Kazutori is the spiritual leader of the daimyo of the Young Zhuang faction, and as soon as he wants to leave, all the daimyo of the Young Zhuang faction can't sit still, and they all stand up, shouting that they will leave with Sei Kazutori.
"Wait!"
As soon as he saw that Sei Kazutori and others were leaving, Tokugawa Minglan couldn't sit still anymore, as a member of the Tokugawa family, he categorically couldn't give up the position of leader, if he really let Sei Kazutori do his own thing, the consequences would be really unbearable, regardless of whether Sei Kazutori and others could rescue the emperor, it would be a blow to the reputation of the Tokugawa family, and this was obviously not a burden that Tokugawa Minglan could bear, because of this, without waiting for everyone to leave, Tokugawa Minglan had already broken his throat.
"What do you think Tokugawa-kun has to say?"
Tokugawa Minglan is a daimyo with old qualifications, and he is a descendant of the Tokugawa family, and his prestige is high among the dozens of celebrities around Kyoto, as soon as he opened his mouth like this, Sei Kazutori really didn't dare to be too high Meng Lang, although he was full of unhappiness, but he still asked patiently.
"Well, the fight should be fought, but after all, there must be rules, so it's okay, I'll mobilize the troops first, surround the palace, and persuade people to surrender, and see how people react before making plans."
Seeing that the war was inevitable, Tokugawa Minglan naturally would not give up his leadership, so he pressed his hand and made the final decision in an unquestionable tone.
"Hey!"
Not to mention, Tokugawa Minglan really has the prestige of a word in the daimyo, he made such a decision, whether it is a young Zhuang faction daimyo or an old school daimyo who is old-fashioned, none of them raised any objections, all of them rushed to respond to the Shaolin abbot fishing after the 80s, flocks of seagulls flew around the fishing boats, making a crisp gull chirping, everything seemed so peaceful, of course, under this peace, there was obviously a strange atmosphere, that is, although there were several fishing boats from time to time to cast nets, but obviously did not care about the harvestThe fishermen on it were obviously more concerned about the movement in the southwest direction, even if the sea in the distance was actually empty at this time, but those fishermen still raised their eyes from time to time to look into the distance.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Look, the fleet is coming, and it must be the soldiers of the Western Lord who have arrived!"
"Great, it's finally here!"
……
At three moments, a black line suddenly appeared at the far end of the ocean, which had always been empty, and it was advancing very fast, and in the time of a stick of incense, it was already vaguely possible to see that a huge fleet was galloping towards the entrance of the Strait of Youdao with full sails, although it was not yet possible to see the flag and scale of the fleet, but the many Japanese people on the fishing boat were so excited that they couldn't help shouting, as if they had seen a savior.
"Baga, how is it the fleet of the Qing people, it's broken, quick, release the carrier pigeons!"
Halfway through the hour, the high-speed fleet finally showed its hideous true face at the far end of the ocean, and the dragon flags were waving in the wind, unmistakably showing the origin of this huge fleet, which was not the combined fleet of the five Western countries that the Japanese people were looking forward to, but the Qing fleet. The troops were immediately divided into two routes, one with three medium-sized warships as cover, six troop carriers and one baggage ship sailing into the strait in great form, while the other was escorted by nine medium-sized warships and thirteen troop carriers, and four baggage ships sailed straight northeast along the perimeter of the strait......
It was almost noon, and there was a dead silence around the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and there was no trace of the so-called large-scale celebration that was originally planned, and no one even dared to appear near the Imperial Palace.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock!"
At noon, the sound of trumpets sounded almost simultaneously around the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and immediately, countless Japanese people rushed out of the streets on all sides with shouts, and rushed to the Kyoto Imperial Palace in a chaotic manner, the momentum was not small, but it did not directly impact the Imperial Palace, but stopped at a position more than 300 meters away from the Imperial Palace, and one by one they scolded the Qing soldiers on the wall of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, shouting wildly, and the arrogance was really arrogant.
"Order all units to be on full alert, and once the Japanese cross the 100-meter line, they will immediately open fire, and there must be no mistakes!"
The so-called number of people is more than 10,000, and there are a sea of people, not to mention that the number of Japanese besieging the Kyoto Imperial Palace has reached tens of thousands at this time, although most of them are very backward in equipment, and there are very few who can have a katana, basically they are farmers with wooden sticks and hoes, but such a large number of people, but it is really not a negligible factor, even though careful arrangements have been made before the war, but Li Shun does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, because according to the predetermined battle plan, the 3rd Brigade of the Marine Corps under his command must hold the Kyoto Imperial Palace for a day and a night, The task is not arduous, and because of this, as soon as he saw the Japanese people frantically coming, Li Shun immediately waved his hand and gave the order.
"Listen to the Qing people on the wall, you have been surrounded by my 100,000 army, there is absolutely no way to escape, you don't need to expect reinforcements to arrive in Osaka, tell you the truth, our allies the Kingdom of Great Britain and many countries in the West have sent a large army to come, Osaka has returned to the hands of my Dongying, there is only one way in front of you, those who lay down their arms, live, those who resist to the end, die!"
Although the Japanese surrounded the Kyoto Imperial Palace, they were also very arrogant, but they did not launch a surprise attack, but they made a Chinese-speaking interpreter, waved the white flag to the distance less than 100 steps away from the Jianli Gate, and tried their best to persuade them to surrender.
"Someone, inform the whole brigade, the main force of our Daqing Bohai Fleet has defeated the combined fleet of the five countries of Xiyi on the ocean of Kouzi Island yesterday afternoon, and has destroyed countless enemies, and is now chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy, in addition, General Tanin and Admiral have led most of the Second Army to land in Osaka, and they will rush to Kyoto before noon tomorrow, and hope that our officers and men will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and we must hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"
Li Shun had already received a telegram from Osaka yesterday, but he did not announce it to the whole army for fear of leaking the news, and when he saw that the Japanese man was talking so nonsense and trying to shake the morale of the officers and men of the Marine Corps, he did not dare to ignore it, so he ordered the whole army to be informed of the good news.
"Eight Geya Road, the clear dog in the city listens, wait for ......"
The Qing officers and soldiers cheered so loudly, and although the Japanese envoy who came to persuade him to surrender did not understand what was going on, he also knew that his persuasion had obviously not achieved the effect.
"Kill him!"
Li Shun has never been a good-tempered person, and when he heard the widow scolding there, even if he was angry, he waved his hand, and he gave an order in a cold voice.
"Phew!"
The Marines are elite divisions, and most of them are sharpshooters, and Li Shun's general order was just a moment, and one of his soldiers moved when he heard the order, and he raised his hand to shoot it, and immediately saw the Japanese messenger covering his chest and falling, his legs and feet twitched a few times, and he was already dead.
"Baga, these Qing dogs dare to be so rude, kill, kill me!"
As soon as he saw that the messenger sent to persuade him to surrender was killed on the spot by a shot by the Qing army, Sei Kazutori was angry, and he didn't go to ask the commander-in-chief of the battle, Tokugawa Minglan, but when he saw that he pulled out the katana at his waist, slashed forward, roared, and led hundreds of samurai under his command to start charging, and soon, many Japanese people who didn't know why also rushed up when they saw this, moving everywhere, and the tens of thousands of Japanese people surrounding the Kyoto Imperial Palace all spread their legs frantically, It was like a huge wave surging towards the siege of the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
"Call me!"
Seeing so many Japanese people rushing madly, Li Shun didn't dare to be careless, no side, although he himself was experienced in a hundred battles, but the soldiers below basically had never experienced war, although the level of training was extremely high, training can be training, and real combat is two concepts, in this case, Li Shun did not dare to make the decision to put the enemy closer and then fight, as soon as the crowd of people crossed the life and death line of 100 meters, he waved his hand and gave a loud order.
"Da ......, Bang Bang ......"
In fact, except for Li Shun and those officers who had fought bloody battles, most of the soldiers were flustered in their hearts at this time, so it was not for nothing that their hands and feet trembled, but no matter whether they were worried or afraid, once the order was issued, no one dared to have the slightest hesitation and slackness, they pulled the trigger one after another, machine guns and rifles opened fire in unison, and the dense locust-like bullets swept towards the surging crowd like a whirlwind, only for a moment, Then he swept down a large area of the Japanese who rushed to the front like cutting rice......
