After leaving the county office, Saven returned to the tribe with a heavy heart, and when he left the county seat, his eldest son Atul, who came with him, couldn't help but ask: "The Song army wants to attack the Yu country, why do you want us to send troops to help?" ”

Saven smiled bitterly and said: "Obviously, Fan Ning is not worried about us staying in Kunzhou, and if we follow the expedition, he will have no worries." ”

"Then what good will it be for us to follow the troops?" Atul was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask.

"He's already said it, didn't you hear it?"

Atul shook his head blankly, he really didn't hear it.

Saven smiled bitterly and said, "Fan Zhizhou is preparing for our family to replace the Qingyuan family and become the administrator of the Kun clan of the Dewa Kingdom. ”

Atul was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Father, this is a good thing!" ”

"It's a good thing, but we need to make a major change, Fan Zhizhou has made it very clear, we need to give up fishing and hunting and become a farming people, but his deeper meaning is to let us move to the country of Deyu and completely let Kunzhou out."

Speaking of which, Saven let out a long sigh, "I don't know if this decision is a good or bad thing for us?" ”

Atul's eyes lit up, in his opinion, this was a golden opportunity, he had already spent enough time on the narrow Kunnan Peninsula, and let them go to Dewa Country, which was another world.

.........

Two days later, on the sea of Kunbei Bay, 50 ships of Wanshi and 20 horse carriers loaded with 2,000 Song soldiers and 500 war horses set off in a majestic manner, and in front of them were 400 double canoes, and 800 Kun soldiers wore leather armor and followed the Song army with bows, arrows and spears.

On the first warship, several leaders of the Song army were discussing battle plans, and in addition to Fan Ning, there were also the main generals Xu Yan, Sima Yang Jin, and Zhang Zhi, who joined the army.

In front of them was a map of Japan's Tohoku Province, and Fanning pointed to the map and said: "According to Tachibana Yorisada's explanation, there are about 3,000 standing samurai of the three wealthy clans of the Dewa Kingdom, the Kiyohara clan, the Tachibana clan and the Arakawa clan, but the army of the Dewa Kingdom besieging Kaga Castle has 6,000 people, that is, the main forces of the three families are basically dispatched, and thousands of others have been recruited. ”

Xu Yan pondered and said, "Why don't you set up an ambush halfway?" ”

Fanning shook his head, there are three passages from Mutsu to Dewa Country, each of which is dozens of miles apart, we don't know which passage the enemy will retreat from, if we divide our troops to ambush, I am afraid that the troops will be insufficient. ”

Sima Yang Jin said: "The envoy is reasonable, our troops are insufficient, it is not appropriate to disperse, we must concentrate our forces to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, we have a strong cavalry and crossbow army, and most of the other side is a temporary recruitment of peasants, basically a rabble, I think we can fight a decisive battle with the enemy." ”

"What about Zhang Senjun's opinion?" Fanning looked at Zhang Zhi who joined the army again.

Zhang Zhi nodded, "I also think that the troops should not be dispersed, and it is the best policy to wait for work!" ”

Fan Ning smiled and asked, "What else does General Xu have to add?" ”

Xu Yan said with a smile: "I like surprise soldiers, since the ambush is not appropriate, then surprise soldiers to capture Akita City!" ”

..........

Dewa Province includes present-day Aomori and Akita Prefectures in Japan, especially Akita Prefecture, which has a vast coastal plain, many rivers, and very fertile land, and has been an important grain producing area in Japan since ancient times.

However, now the Dewa Kingdom and the Mutsu Kingdom are still the territory of the Ezo people, despised by the Japanese court, called Dongyi, with a population of only 60,000 or 70,000 people, controlled by the three wealthy clans of the Kiyohara clan, the Tachibana clan and the Arakawa clan, and the garrison of the Dewa country is served by the head of the Kiyogen clan, Kiyohara Mitsuyori.

Akita Castle is the location of the garrison of Dewa Province, and is the only seaport in the northwest of Japan, which was built in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was built by the Japanese imperial court to resist the southward movement of the Ezo people.

Like Mutsu Province, the biggest product of Dewa Province is silver, especially in the south of the Takami Silver Mine, which has huge silver ore reserves, and is known as Michinoku Gold and Dewa Silver in Japan.

Hundreds of years ago, the envoy of the Bohai State sent an envoy to Japan, that is, landed in Akita Port, the strategic position is very important, because of this, Fanning is bound to Akita Port, take Akita Port, here becomes a dagger inserted by the Song army in Japan, retreat can be defended, advance can be attacked, and can be supported from Kunzhou at any time, if Japan wants to attack Kunzhou, it must first seize Akita City, which makes Kunzhou obtain a major strategic buffer.

At night, a flotilla of twenty small boats quietly sailed into a river ten miles south of Akita Port, which meandered northward and flowed a mile south of Akita Castle.

The boat was full of soldiers, a total of 500 people, led by the main general Xu Yan himself, and villages and large rice fields could be seen not far from both sides of the strait.

The fleet rowed silently in the river, and the outline of Akita Castle could be seen in the distance, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.

"General Xu, tonight is beautiful!" Next to him, Xu Qing laughed in a low voice to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan looked up at the sky, the sky was covered with thin dark clouds, and a bright moon passed through the dark clouds, making the earth bright and dark.

Xu Yan nodded, the weather is indeed good tonight.

The ships came to a halt about a mile from the castle, and the soldiers disembarked one after another, bent down and ran towards Akita Castle, quickly taking refuge in a small forest.

The circumference of Akita Castle is about ten miles wide, it is made of large stones, it is very strong, but the city has no moat, and the city gate is wooden, which is the only weakness of the city, which is also related to the shortage of pig iron in Japan, and the iron for making weapons is not enough, and no one will be extravagant enough to use iron sheets to wrap the door, and for the Japanese army, the wooden door is enough.

Xu Yan stared for a moment, exactly the same as Tachibana Laizhen's explanation, there was only one east city gate, and there were several defenders patrolling back and forth on the city tower, but they didn't get close to the city wall, they just opened the door for convenience, not to patrol the outside of the city.

Xu Yan was secretly happy, this was an excellent opportunity, he waved his hand, and the two soldiers rushed towards the city with an iron-shelled fire thunder on their backs, both soldiers were from the Firearms Division, and they had rich experience in igniting thunder, and the Song army had tested it hundreds of times, and even the iron door could be blown open, not to mention a wooden door?

The two soldiers stooped and galloped to the bottom of the city in a few moments, and the two pressed against the walls and looked at the top of the city, where there was no movement.

The two of them looked at each other, and quickly touched the gate, which they looked closely, about an inch thick, made of cedar wood, one of the soldiers propped up the wooden frame he carried, and the other soldier carefully placed the iron-clad fire thunder like a pumpkin on the support, and the fire thunder pressed against the gate.

The soldier pulled out a fire fold, shook it in the wind, the fire fold immediately burned, and then lit the fire rope, the two turned around and ran along the city wall, this is their experience, if you run outward, it is easy to be discovered by the soldiers at the head of the city, the best way is to run along the city wall, so that the head of the city can not find the abnormality.

The time the arquebus burned could have allowed them to run a hundred paces away, and the two of them had just run a hundred steps when they immediately covered their ears and threw themselves into a ravine.

At this moment, a bright red fire burst out at the city gate, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, the earth shook, thick smoke rose into the air, sawdust splashed, and the Song soldiers in the woods covered their ears and squatted down.

By the time the smoke cleared, the gate was gone, leaving only two sides hanging from the wall, revealing a swarthy hole.

Xu Yan yelled, "Kill—"

Five hundred soldiers leaped away and ran into the city.

The two sides of the city gate were covered with corpses, no wounds, and their noses were bleeding, and these soldiers were all shocked to death, dozens of people were also shocked to death on the head of the city, and the rest of the soldiers were already frightened and scattered.

The soldiers of the Song army rushed into the city gate and saw the barracks at a glance.

There were more than 300 people in the barracks, all of whom were awakened by the sound of violent explosions, all of them panicked, most of them were barefoot, bare-chested, and fled out without even finding weapons, just blocked by the Song army.

"Shoot!"

The soldiers raised their crossbows and fired, and the arrows rained down on the dense soldiers, and suddenly there was a terrible scream, and the enemy soldiers fell down one after another, and the rest of the soldiers shouted in fright, turned around and fled, and they scattered like a swarm of cockroaches that exploded their nests.

Xu Yan yelled, "Kill me!" ”

Five hundred Song troops swarmed with spears and swords, like fierce wolves, and swarmed into the enemy camp.

．．．．．．．

The day was getting brighter, Fanning led the army into Akita City, the city obviously went through a night of fierce fighting, there were corpses and blood everywhere, and the barracks were full of corpses, which made Fanning a little puzzled, why the killing was so ruthless, is it a repeat of the scene in Tamna City?

At this time, Xu Yan walked over covered in blood, bowed down and said, "Qi Qi Jing has made a slight envoy, Akita City has been completely captured!" ”

Fanning asked with concern, "How many casualties have the brothers?" ”

"The brothers suffered thirty-four casualties, eleven killed and twenty-three, mostly lightly wounded."

Xu Yan hated and hated: "Mainly the house guards and house slaves of the Qingyuan family, there are about a hundred people, and the brothers fight to the death, we can't help it, and finally use crossbow arrows to completely solve them, and there is no living mouth in the Qingyuan Mansion." ”

Sure enough, it was a wealthy family who guarded the house, and the situation was the same as that encountered in Tamna City.

At this time, Fan Ning was a little worried about the Kun soldiers, they were responsible for attacking the Tachibana clan on Oga Island, would they also encounter the other party's death battle, with the weapons and combat effectiveness of the Kun people, I am afraid it would be dangerous.

Fan Ning immediately said to the commander Jiang Cheng: "Please ask the commander Jiang to lead five hundred soldiers to the Oga Peninsula to support the Kun people in the battle!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Jiang Cheng immediately led 500 soldiers to the Oga Peninsula, thirty miles to the north.
