Chapter 622: Encirclement and suppression of Ashikaga Yoshiji
They were all yelling.
The soldiers rushed directly into the enemy's ranks, riding fast horses and swords in their hands, constantly swinging and slashing.
And those Japanese soldiers have long lost their morale, and when they saw Daming come out like this, they almost turned their heads in fear and wanted to escape.
But how can they run away now? You must know that they don't have horses, but Daming has military horses, how can they catch up with them with only two legs under the galloping of military horses?
So they despaired.
And when they fled, they also trampled on it, and almost once they fell to the ground, the soldiers behind followed, and trampled up without regard for their lives, and many of them were almost trampled to death.
Under such circumstances, the number of Japanese armies was rapidly decreasing.
Not only that, but there are also red-coat cannons.
"Boom, boom."
A terrifying explosion sounded in their ears, and as soon as the red-coated cannon exploded, it was a pile of death.
So when Zhu Zhanji saw this scene, he didn't mention how happy he was.
He didn't kill the Mongolian army so freely, but now that he killed this Japanese army, Zhu Zhanji felt comfortable in his heart, he felt that the Japanese army should be killed, and they should be allowed to taste the power of the Ming Dynasty.
To make them hurt, to let them know how powerful Da Ming is!
Under the bombardment of the red-clothed artillery, those Japanese soldiers were bombed bitterly.
"Even if you don't forget about the sneak attack, you even pulled out all the red-clothed cannons, this is trying to force us to death at all."
"The soldiers have been forced to this extent, if they continue to escape, it will be a dead end, it is better to unite now and break out of their encirclement, maybe there is still salvation."
"They have red-coat cannons, how can we rush out?"
This contingent of the Wa Kingdom is permeated with pessimism.
And under such pessimism, their number is also rapidly decreasing.
They said they were resisting, but they said they were resisting with their front feet, and they left their teammates behind and ran away.
And those who desperately resisted have already died on the way to resist.
……
And on the other side.
The troops led by King Zhao were rapidly advancing towards the large army of the Wa Kingdom.
Because King Zhao was facing the troops led by Ashikaga Yoshinori himself, the number was also the largest, and the number of troops led by King Zhao was about 8,000.
Among them, more than 3,000 people are elite troops, almost all of whom are equipped with firearms.
In the face of such sophisticated equipment, King Zhao still has a lot of confidence in his heart, he thinks that even if he can't meet all the large forces of Ashikaga Yoshito, he can at least annihilate a large part of it.
So King Zhao also came with an extremely strong mentality this time.
His horses were galloping.
Of course, he was not as big as Zhu Zhanji, and he did not dare to rush to the front in the lead, but walked in the middle of the army, so that it was better to command the army to advance.
After coming to the vicinity of a big mountain, King Zhao pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Let's all stop here. ”
Hearing King Zhao's decision, several soldiers were curious, and they walked up to King Zhao one after another and asked him.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, why are we stopping here?"
"yes."
"If we stop here, how can we annihilate the large army of the Japanese Kingdom?"
Hearing their words, a smile appeared on King Zhao's face, but his smile was more sinister.
"Are you all fools?"
"We are hiding here now, and when the time comes, when the large army of the Japanese Kingdom comes, we will be able to catch them by surprise."
As soon as Zhao Wang said, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ambush is naturally the best, and it is still hiding around here to ambush.
In this way, they are almost defenseless, and the chance of being wiped out is naturally greater.
The soldiers didn't say a word, and immediately deployed according to King Zhao's words.
They hid directly in the vicinity of the mountain, relying on the weeds to cover themselves, waiting for the large army of the Wa Kingdom to pass by.
In this battle, Daming almost occupies the home field, so there is no need to worry at all, this war will be lost.
It's just that the number of troops led by King Zhao is still smaller, and it will still be a little difficult to annihilate them all.
……
The other side.
Ashikaga Yoshinori is ready for anything.
He rode his horse and looked ahead, a hint of relaxation in his eyes.
He had been on the road for two hours, and he had even walked to the vicinity of Ning Cheng.
Naturally, Ashikaga Yoshimochi also saw the masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty, and saw the masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty leading water to Ningcheng.
The great ditch appeared in front of him again.
Ashikaga Yoshitoshi looked at the huge ditch, as if he thought of the scene of being flooded in Ningcheng, he sighed lightly, and whispered: "What is the meaning of my trip?" ”
"I didn't bring back the gold, silver and jewelry, and my army has lost so many people, when I go back, will the Ashikaga shogunate still be able to dominate the entire Wakoku?"
Ashikaga Yoshinori's eyes showed deep exhaustion.
He was a little confused in his heart, and he couldn't see the way clearly.
"General, let's wait until we return to China and get out of danger."
"For now, we should leave the territory of the Li Dynasty quickly, so that we can ensure that we are safe enough."
"Yes, we are not strong in terms of land, only by water, we don't have to worry about being afraid."
The generals of the Wa Kingdom persuaded Ashikaga Yoshinori one after another, and Ashikaga Yoshimori also took a deep breath and nodded: "Go, speed up the march and quickly escape from here." ”
The generals quickly informed the troops below.
The Wa Kingdom brought 100,000 troops here, and until now, only about 50,000 people remain.
A large part of these 50,000 people followed Ashikaga Yoshinori.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimochi's troops were also very large, reaching about 20,000 people.
More than 20,000 soldiers followed behind Ashikaga Yoshinori and quickly left in the direction of Haikou.
And yet at this very moment.
Suddenly there was a rumbling sound ahead.
With doubt in his eyes, Ashikaga Yoshimochi raised his head to look at the sky.
I saw a black ball in the sky.
The ball was extremely fast, and it slammed into their direction.
Seeing this scene, a trace of doubt flashed in Ashikaga Yoshimori's eyes, and then he looked at the round ball and said, "What is this?" ”
The generals also looked up and saw the black ball, and then shook their heads, for they didn't know what it was.
However, after the black ball smashed into the ground, it suddenly exploded, and with a bang, it killed many of their soldiers.
The ball exploded almost not far in front of Ashikaga Yoshimori.
So when Ashikaga Yoshinori stood there, he could still feel the afterglow of the explosion.
This made his heart tremble.
"The red-coated cannon, it's the red-coated cannon!"
"How could this be a red-coated cannon!"
"Is the army of the Ming Dynasty coming? Why are the cardinal cannons bombarding us? Could it be that our whereabouts have been discovered by the Ming Dynasty? ”
They have raised this question.
But they already had a very deep answer in their hearts, that is, Da Ming had already discovered that they had escaped in advance.
Ashikaga Yoshinori's eyes showed a shock, and even a trace of confusion.
He looked at the exploding orb and the corpses of the fallen soldiers, and couldn't believe that Da Ming would suddenly attack them.
How did Da Ming find out about their plan to evacuate in advance?
Ashikaga Yoshinori couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out.
Right now, Ashikaga Yoshinori's heart was beating faster and faster, and his breathing was getting shorter and faster, because he knew that the time of Awakuni's death might be approaching.
If Da Ming really planned to let them go, he would never have opened fire, even if they left two days earlier, Da Ming would not only not shoot at them, but would be happy, and now Da Ming opened fire on them obviously for only one purpose, that is, to destroy them.
So Ashikaga Yoshitochi was scared, he was really worried.
He feared that they would all be annihilated here.
"Inform the whole army not to escape, meet the enemy in an all-round way, and meet the battle of the Ming army."
"Inform the whole army that whoever dares to retreat will be killed, and if he returns to the Wa Kingdom, he will be beheaded along with his parents and family!"
Ashikaga Yoshitomo quickly issued these two military orders at a critical moment.
Why these two military orders?
Because Ashikaga Yoshitoshi was clear, he also knew in his heart that if he didn't give this military order, everyone would be scattered and flee one after another.
Now that Da Ming has rushed over, the only thing they can do is to resist.
If they run away, it will only reduce the affairs of their army, and more and more people will die.
Rather than running away and letting Daming slowly encroach, it is better to resist comfortably, which can be regarded as winning glory for the Wa Kingdom, and it can be regarded as letting Da Ming see the courage of the Wa Kingdom.
After Ashikaga Yoshinori's order was carried out, a large number of warlords were soon established.
Those prison officials will stay behind, and if anyone dares to retreat, they will be beheaded directly.
The shells of the red-coated cannon continued to explode in this direction, accompanied by the sound of fire from time to time.
And in such a situation, the Ming army can finally see the shadow.
They stood up from all sides.
Around this mountain, all the Ming armies that were hiding in the shadows appeared.
They stared at the army of the Japanese kingdom with fierce eyes, and then rushed out directly.
"Soldiers, they have been surrounded, kill, kill a happy one!"
"Annihilate them all here."
"The Ming Dynasty is invincible, the Ming Dynasty is invincible, the Ming Dynasty is on the march, and there is no grass!"
The soldiers laughed wildly, shouted slogans, and rushed towards the large army of the Wa Kingdom, because they knew that if they killed someone, they would have meritorious deeds, and that if they showed bravery on the battlefield, they would be rewarded.
And to deal with these soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, it is too simple!
That's why they're so excited.
And King Zhao naturally could not take the lead in charging like Zhu Zhanji and King Han, he sat on his horse and commanded the soldiers to rush forward quickly, while he stood behind and watched the situation on the battlefield.
Seeing that the army of the Ming Dynasty quickly surrounded them, and when he saw the team of only a few thousand people, surrounded by tens of thousands of people, King Zhao's heart was ecstatic, and he laughed.
"See if I'm not blowing you up this time."
"Wa Guo, you are indeed going to die here!"
"My Ming glory needs to be shaped by you, use your lives to deter all countries in the world, let them know what the strength of the Ming is, let them all understand how powerful the Ming is, they only have to obey, and must not be disobedient!"
King Zhao laughed and ordered all the red-clothed cannons to fire directly with all their might.
In this way, those red-coated cannons no longer had any hesitation, and quickly filled with explosives and continued to explode!
And the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also quickly went forward to kill, and handed over to the army of those Japanese countries.
Although Ashikaga Yoshitoshi's army was surrounded and attacked by a sneak attack, in this situation of low morale, it was able to forcibly condense a morale and rush towards the Ming army to resist, which really surprised King Zhao!
In fact, the Wa Kingdom is not weak.
On the contrary, just because the level of the Ming Dynasty is too high now, from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, a big country, and look down at the Wa State, that is the real small country!
King Zhao took a deep breath, and in his expectation, the Wa Kingdom was a little stronger than he imagined.
It seems that this war will not end anytime soon.
However, even if the time is extended, their extreme resistance will definitely not affect the pattern of the war, and it will definitely not affect the final result, that is, the Japanese state has suffered a defeat!
It is absolutely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be defeated!
Because the Ming not only bombarded with red-coated cannons, but also had many well-equipped firearms.
As soon as these firecrackers are used, they are full of shots and shots, and they are very accurate.
Therefore, the number of troops on Ashikaga Yoshimori's side is constantly decreasing.
The Japanese soldiers could not stop the power of the firearms, and fell to the ground one by one.
Seeing this scene, Ashikaga Yoshinori's eyes showed a look of anxiety.
Beside him, several generals of the Wa Kingdom quickly walked towards him.
"General, you run away first, we are here to guard, as long as you escape, everything is easy to say. ”
"That's right, general, you can escape first, we are here for you to block, and we can also kill a breakthrough circle for you!"
"General, you run away first, this war is the defeat of our Japanese country."
They were all persuading Ashikaga Yoshinori to escape.
Because the general trend has gone, the Wa Kingdom can no longer hold on, not to mention the Ningcheng side, the gold, silver, jewelry, grain and grass have been burned, although there is some dry food on their bodies, but they are about to run out.
So the outcome of this war is already predictable.
But Ashikaga Yoshinori is unwilling, he is really unwilling.
Because if he leaves now, then it will be tantamount to abandoning his soldiers, and after those soldiers are abandoned, they can hardly escape one fate, that is, death!
Will the 100,000 elite army all be wiped out here?
You must know that this 100,000 army is his hard work, and it was destroyed in the Li Dynasty like this, how can he be willing?
