Chapter 453: Burning the Japanese T
Arrowheads, wrapped in cotton cloth and tung oil, plunged into the bonfire, and immediately burned, and the hands immediately put on their bows. A row of flames pointed at Kasuga Mountain. A semi-arc ring of fire is formed.
Hundreds of households have been raised - success or failure in this move. As an inconspicuous hundred. Able to accept such a task. Indeed, it is something that can be boasted of to children and grandchildren in the future. After all the archers spread their bowstrings. Baihu's hand waved down heavily: "Shoot." ”
Snort. Clusters of flames drew a half-arc in the moonlight. The target is the mountainside of Mt. Kasuga.
Immediately there was a shout of scolding from the mountainside. The rebels defending the mountain fought fiercely for a long time. Exhausted for a long time. At the moment, except for a small number of guards. The rest had fallen asleep leaning on rocks or bushes. Many people woke up in a panic. Watch as the flames fall here and there. Crackling and burning with slightly damp bushes. Everyone panicked and began to put out the fire. Coax. Suddenly, there was a commotion in a jungle. A few feet tall flames flew high. The fire spread nearby. Blazing fast. It spewed out like a tongue of fire.
"Fight the fire. Fight the fire. Ga. There are mountain springs there. Also go. The rebel guards roared loudly. The fire is so strange. Although the mountainside is mostly wooded and grassy. But because this is the north. It's just past spring. One to night. There will be a lot of fog. The fog will soak the trees in damp. It's not going to cause a big fire. But at the moment he can't do so much. Pressing matter. Fighting fires is the biggest task.
Yamashita still does not shoot rockets. The flames at the arrows spread like fireworks to the mountainside and fell in all corners. The panicked rebels gradually calmed down after a brief period of chaos. Scrambling to find containers to scoop water from a nearby mountain spring. It's just that after all, the rebels didn't expect the Ming army to attack in this humid situation. I didn't expect that the fire attack could actually cause such a violent fire, although the current fire did not spread much, but the sudden burning section of the fire was extremely terrifying. If it is not extinguished as soon as possible. The surrounding moisture will dry quickly. and ignite the surrounding jungle of trees. Then it will be unimaginable after it comes down.
Coaxing. Another rocket hit a jungle. Burst into the flames of the sky. The commander of the guard was already in a hurry, covered in cold sweat, it was too evil. What the hell is going on? This time. Some of the guards had already brought an urn of spring water in an earthen urn. It's just that there are too few containers. The captain of the guard stamped his feet and ordered someone to extinguish a fire. The guard hurried over with the urn and poured out the water in the soil. Then he stood on the edge of the fire in a daze. It fell on it with a thud.
"What's going on?" The commander of the soldiers was already angry and rushed over and grabbed the guard's shirt: "Bastard." Look at what you're doing? ”
The guards came to their senses. Stammered: "Big." My lord, this is a divine fire that cannot be extinguished. ”
It's in this kung fu. Under the continuous fire of the archers at the foot of the mountain. More Fang burst into flames.
More guards came with various containers of spring water, and some even used pots for the night. But soon they were surprised to find that the fires that had been lit everywhere could not be extinguished.
"What's going on?" The commander suddenly had a bad premonition. The momentum is getting bigger and bigger. The trees around the fire also began to burn. Crackling. Smoke billowed from the air. caused a wave of panic.
"It is a divine fire that cannot be extinguished." yelling. They may not lack courage. In the afternoon battle was already proven. But in the face of the anomaly in front of him. The fire that has spread everywhere. Many people began to scream and run up the hill.
"Bastard. Don't run. The guard shouted loudly. But the more so. The more people fled. Eventually, the fire had spread to a large area. When the chief of the guard choked on the smoke couldn't even open his eyes. The commander of the guard wanted to save his life. The latter ran up the hill.
The rebels of the mountain saw = a fire in the waist. I started to feel uneasy. Someone wants to go up the mountain and see what's going on. But I just walked halfway up the mountain. It was brought back by the flames that spread all over the sky. The fire first burned on the mountainside. Then quickly to the top of the mountain, the foot of the mountain spread to the woods, although damp. But under the scorching fire, it quickly dried and ignited. By this time. Even if you want to put out the fire, it's too late. The guards under the mountain were in confusion. It was impossible for them to escape up the mountain. I can only wait in the fortifications to see if I want to break out. And around Mount Kasuga. Various noisy figures spread around. The encirclement was deployed. All the roads down the mountain were guarded by a team of shogunate soldiers. In the more periphery. It's a team of patrol guards patrolling back and forth. Reinforcements are always at the ready. The outermost part was the Ming army's firecracker team. The entire Kasuga mountain is surrounded by iron buckets.
The fire in the mountains is getting bigger. The spreading flames were approaching the top and bottom of the mountain. mountaintop
The vicinity of the mountain castle is mostly rocky. For the time being, I am not worried about the spread of fire. It's just a blaze. It added a lot of panic to the soldiers and civilians in the city. The mountainside guards who went up the mountain were loudly proclaiming the divine fire again. Many of the people who provoked it were even more frightened. In addition, thick smoke rose from the mountain. The pungent smell permeates the entire Kasuga mountain castle. So much so that some of the bodies were directly smoked by the smoke. The rest are no better. Some smart ones took off their clothes and soaked their mouths and noses in water, and then they felt better. And the defenders at the foot of the hill were able to choose the siege under the threat of fire. After a brief silence. Groups of rebel dancers with knives and guns. Rushed out with a bird's gun. I happened to bump into the shogunate guards who were armed. The two sides fought again. Just one battle that was not the same as the afternoon. The rebels in the afternoon can rely on the work to defend to the death. Take advantage of it. But this time, it was the shogunate guards who were waiting for work. The morale of the rebels has hit rock bottom. In addition, the quality of the individual soldiers of the shogunate guards was much higher than that of the rebels. The number is also several times that of the rebels. The rebels who broke through had just arrived. More shogunate guards swarmed up. Chopped into mashed meat.
An hour later. The entire Kasuga Mountains seem to have turned into a volcano. Everywhere there was a roar of fire and billowing smoke. The shogunate guards of the mountain couldn't help but shudder when they looked at the scene in front of them. Remembering the terrible scene faced by the enemy at the huge fortress on the top of the mountain. There is some schadenfreude. And with some rabbits and dead foxes sad.
And when he walked out of the big tent to watch the big Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, he was so excited that he almost jumped. Originally, Yang Rang proposed the method of attacking with fire, but he was against it. After all, the humidity is heavy at night. The weather in the north is not hot. It's not so easy to set fires. But Yang Rang succeeded. The Echigo cavalry, with more than 10,000 men, was routed in just a few hours. And the more than 20,000 rebels who relied on the steep mountains to defend them were now scorched by the flames, and they could be dealt with before dawn. The counterinsurgency took only one day. What is this concept? This means that any daimyo on the island will succumb to his own obscenity. From now on. His own edict is equivalent to the holy decree issued to him by the Ming Emperor. There must not be the slightest slackness or dissatisfaction. It is not possible to disobey the yang and the yin. Or raise an army against yourself. Otherwise, there is only one way to perish.
Yang let the negative hand. The mood is slightly low. An order to go down. That's tens of thousands of people who lost their lives. For him, an old soldier, it was somewhat unbearable. But so is the secret decree of God. He couldn't fail to obey. Usually, the emperor has always been good to the obedient vassal state. It stands to reason that Japan is also very obedient to the Ming Dynasty. But what is the reason? The emperor will get rid of all the Japanese people soon. Yang Rang glanced at Tokugawa Tsunyoshi, who was excited. Full of pity, he sighed slightly. Cheer up. No matter what. The emperor's will must be followed. All the Japanese had to migrate to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. And any forces that resist must be slaughtered. There is nothing left to maneuver.
"His Royal Highness Tokugawa. Ben Governor went back to sleep for a while. You are here to war. Wait for the fire to stop. Immediately lead people up the mountain. No one will be spared. Do you understand? Yang let out a tired sigh. Returned to the Big Horde.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi nodded. He was completely impressed by Yang Rang. This inconspicuous Governor of the Navy is too powerful. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi Satoru is a good backer.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 …
The sky is getting brighter. The fire spread all night in Kasugayama. After burning all combustible objects, it gradually extinguishes. Billowing smoke still billows up. Soar to the top of the mountain. Then float upwards.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi personally swords. The shogunate guards were divided into ten teams. After breakfast. The smoke thinned out.
"Kill." Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is full of energy. Yang Katana took the lead in the charge. The guards who were lined up immediately erupted in a louder roar in response. With Tokugawa Tsunayoshi killed from the foot of the mountain.
The mountain rebels were restless all night. Then the smoked dead came back to life. Under the double whammy of restlessness and smoke. Many people have already fainted. Still sober. Also tired and hungry. I feel uncomfortable all over my body. Due to too much carbon dioxide inhaled. As a result, their whole body is lazily and cannot lift a trace of strength. Just as they rejoiced that the nightmare had passed. There was a shout of killing on the mountainside, and their luck fell to the bottom.
Soon. The shogunate guards then marched into the mountain. Quickly rushed out of the city. Resistance in the face of them was not fierce. After a while. Immediately someone broke open the city gates. Countless guards swarmed in like a flood. Kill the rebels without hesitation, both resisting and non-resisting.
