Chapter 443: The Wa Kingdom on the Chopping Block
The will that belonged to the Duke of Cao Guogong of the Great Ming Dynasty was soon passed on to the army of the Yoshino family in the southern dynasty of the Wa Kingdom.
"Yaga!"
"Damn the Ming Army!"
In front of the southern Yoshino clan army formation at the bottom of the hillside, the family general in charge of commanding the army heard the order from the Akito and shouted angrily.
"Yoshinoji Ma!"
The family general let out a low roar, his eyes were already looking at Yoshino Terama, who was trying to hide in the crowd, his eyes flashing with a strong killing intent: "It's all you!" You recruited Akito! If you hadn't been asked to contact Mingren at this moment, the family would definitely ask you to cut your own stomach! ”
Thundered.
There were bursts of roaring in the sky, and they roared against the heads of the Yoshino clan army of the Southern Dynasty, and rushed to the castle ruled by the Ashikaga clan in front.
It was the artillery of the Ming army, which was using the Yoshino family's army as a cover to suppress the Ashikaga family's soldiers at the head of the castle.
"Hey!"
Yoshinoji Ma had a solemn expression, turned around and stood straight, slowly bowing his head and bending over.
The intention of the Ming army is obvious, that is, to let the army of the Yoshino family consume the strength of the Ashikaga family as much as possible. Use the blood of the Yoshino family to completely wipe out the Northern Dynasty.
The Yoshino family was very clear, very aware of the purpose of the Ming army.
However, the Yoshino family had no way to refuse the request of the Ming army, and in the palace of Kyoto, on the grounds that they were beware of the Northern Dynasty spies waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos since the war, the army of Zhenwa was stationed with 3,000 soldiers and horses.
The core of the family was "protected" by the Ming army, which made most of the Yoshino family helpless.
For those daimyo and samurai under the command of the Yoshino family, the rich rewards offered by the Ming army stimulated them to willingly obey the command of the Ming army all the time.
Every time the city was breached, the Ming army was very merciful and generous, leaving the spoils of war in the city as if they were nothing, and letting the soldiers of the Yoshino family pocket them.
At the beginning, the daimyo and samurai saw that the Ming army was also in the city, and they would be a little more restrained.
When the third city was breached, the general of the Ming army spoke, and the Ming army did not enter the city, allowing the officers and soldiers to repair the broken city for five days.
It was a very large city with a lot of wealth.
And wealth is not limited to gold and silver treasures.
The generals of the Yoshino clan tried to stop them, but the Ming army gathered them on the grounds of celebration. And the daimyo and samurai below, after a few temptations, finally confirmed that no one would care what they were doing in the breached city.
Thereupon.
The madness and primitive beastly desires that seemed to be rooted in the blood of these people burst out in an instant as if they had destroyed the embankment.
The artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty did not completely destroy the city, but the soldiers of the Yoshino family, who were completely liberated, used countless methods that ordinary people could not imagine to destroy the huge city.
There is no living mouth in the city.
Blood stained the dirt red, and among the fallen ruins were twisted and broken corpses.
The soldiers under the command of the Yoshino family, who were licensed, carried the wealth of the city, and carried the reverence and yearning for the next city, as if they were in a no-man's land.
And the benevolent and benevolent Ming army will send their spoils back to their hometown in the rear. This is something that the Yoshino family will not do for them either, and it is completely due to the kindness and generosity of the Ming army.
The form of war has surpassed everyone's understanding and is presented to everyone in a completely new way.
The hearts of the people and the army are firmly controlled by the demonic Ming army.
At first, Yoshinoji Ma tried to prove to the family soldiers that the booty they had handed over to the Ming army to send back to their hometown had been privately intercepted by the Ming army.
But the Ming army didn't say anything, just let the wounded soldiers personally participate in escorting the booty back to their hometown, so that Yoshinojima's attention was disappointed.
"Follow the will of the light army, and then send people up to attack the city."
The family general whispered helplessly and heartbrokenly, his expression full of loneliness.
At present, the army is no longer under their control, and every order of the Ming army will reach everyone's ears through a huge megaphone, and there will also be those who are "heavily employed" who are proficient in the official dialect and Japanese language of the Ming Dynasty, issuing orders for the Ming army.
Yoshinoji Ma cautiously raised his head and glanced at the city wall in front of him, which was covered in artillery fire and attacked by countless family soldiers who looked like ants.
A trace of reluctance and regret flashed in Yoshinojima's eyes.
Now these 5,000 people have gone up, and before the city is broken, at most less than half of them will survive. But if the Ming army can cover it with a few more rounds of full firepower, then the enemy army, which is already struggling to support and fight the trapped beasts, will soon be self-defeating.
But the Ming army did not do this.
They still let those fools who are fascinated by desire to achieve the victory that belongs to the Ming army.
As the family general, who had already been redundant, nodded in agreement, the five thousand Yoshino family soldiers who had been waiting for a long time frantically rushed towards the enemy city wall that was not high, wide, or solid.
Bamboo sticks were thrown out of the city without money.
The lowest cost, take the most precious life.
Yoshinojima's eyes were blood-red, and his hands were constantly shaking.
If this continues, the Northern Dynasty may indeed fall at the hands of the Yoshino family. However, the Wa Kingdom is really gone.
"Terama-kun! Where are you going! ”
The general of the family, escorted by his own henchman samurai, turned his head to look at Yoshinoji Ma, who suddenly spread his legs and ran.
The family general is not worried that Makai Yoshinoji will become a traitor.
The Akito controlled the upper echelons of the family in Kyoto, and they also controlled the kinmaki of people such as Yoshinodera Ma.
Yoshinoji Ma frantically headed towards the hill behind the army, where the Ming army had placed artillery.
The hills in my hometown are better than that.
But Yoshinoji Ma was not in the mood to appreciate it, he fell again and again, got up again and again, gritted his teeth and ran towards the hill that was not high.
"Pray for the magnanimity and mercy of the Great General, so that the soldiers will be withdrawn and tear open the enemy's city with these artifacts."
Yoshinoji was wailing incessantly.
How he hoped that in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, he had not been to Daming. Or, there is nothing wrong with the Yoshino family becoming a vassal of the Ashikaga family.
"The warriors won't retreat, not to mention that Terama-kun thinks that these warriors can be withdrawn at this time?"
Tie Xuan stood in front of Li Jinglong, and explained to Yoshinoji Ma, who had become embarrassed when he rushed over.
After saying that, he held his hands and silently turned to look at the Yoshino family soldiers who kept falling in front of the city wall.
Yoshinoji Ma's eyes became dark, and the other party's move had already hinted at him, and now he was no longer qualified to talk to the grandfather and general of the Ming Dynasty.
With bitterness in his heart, Yoshinoji sat down limply on the ground.
Truce with the Ashikaga family!
The two secretly connected in tandem, set up an ambush in advance, and launched a brazen attack while the Ming army was unprepared. The existence of the Ming army was completely expelled from the land of the Wa Kingdom.
A crazy thought suddenly rose in Yoshinoji's heart.
However, he was soon pressed down.
"Yoshinoji Ma wants to connect with the Ashikaga family." Tie Xuan said softly, looking at the back of Yoshinoji Ma, who was going back to the hill in frustration, and his eyes flashed, "But ...... He didn't dare to really do it. Just like the rest of the Yoshino family in Kyoto City, even if they had such an idea, they didn't dare to take it seriously. ”
The artillery fire on the hill was spaced out and progressive, covering the city.
There are constantly people, holding pen and paper in their hands, recording the parameters and landing points of each shot.
All these things are to be brought back to heaven and handed over to those who will be prisoners.
Li Jinglong snorted: "The Wa Kingdom is here, maybe they can drive us away today, but tomorrow we will definitely step on this land again with stronger strength." ”
"They should have understood this, so they were helpless and resentful, but they still obeyed our orders." Tie Xuan beckoned to an artilleryman: "Try and see if you can concentrate all the landing points at the city gate." ”
The artilleryman glanced at the city gate in the distance with indifferent eyes, nodded and said, "Two rounds of test firing are enough." It's just that...... Did you notify the people who rushed up to the Yoshino clan to retreat? ”
Tie Xuan only pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "Go, let people tell them to retreat." Bypass Yoshinoya and go straight to the front to pass the word. ”
The artillerymen understood.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that the soldiers under the city gate began to retreat, the general of the Yoshino family in front of the battle was shocked, and hurriedly glanced back at the hill behind him, hesitating whether this would cause the Ming army to reprimand.
However, in the next moment, a dense artillery fire was fired at the city gates.
Just two rounds of bombardment.
The subsequent shelling was all over the city gates.
Under the baptism of several artillery fires, the gate tower of the city, which was not a big city, collapsed with a bang, setting off a puff of smoke.
The retreating Yoshinoya soldiers were alerted in front of the castle gate, and let out a burst of cheers, waving their weapons and rushing towards the collapsed castle.
The Chinese army outside the city began to move and be noisy.
The Yoshino family general sighed lightly and waved his hand.
Immediately, the soldiers, who had been impatient for a long time, rushed frantically towards the city that had been torn apart, lest the benefits be seized by the people in front.
The army has lost control of discipline.
The family general looked back at Yoshinojima, who had rushed back in embarrassment, his face full of bitterness.
"Si Majun, maybe so-and-so will also apologize for his crimes."
Yoshinoji Ma's face was full of sweat mixed with stains, nodded, and said distractedly: "Yingzhou Dao, maybe this is the result that Daming wants to see the most......"
"Da Ming is too strong." The family general's tone was full of envy, why wasn't his kingdom as powerful as the Ming Dynasty.
Yoshinoji Ma found a place to sit down, shook his head and said softly: "There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat." Now, our Wa Kingdom is the fish on the chopping board, driven by the orders of the Ming Dynasty, but we dare not have the slightest resistance. ”
Ma, who had been to Daming, was full of despair.
The Ming Dynasty is really too big, and the small Wa Kingdom is in front of the Ming Dynasty, but it is just a land of several mansions. And the Ming Dynasty has hundreds of mansions.
In front of the giant Da Ming, the Wa Kingdom is the fish and meat on the chopping board, allowing the knife wielded by Da Ming to cut and eat wantonly.
The family general raised his eyes to look at the torn city, and slowly closed his eyes.
In the next three days, what will happen to this city and what it will experience, everyone has clearly seen it in the previous cities, and the scenes are still vivid.
The adjutant general, who gathered the general's personal soldiers and was about to return to the camp, walked over from a distance with a solemn face.
"General, the Ming army has sent someone again."
The adjutant general stood in front of the family general with his fists clenched, and looked sideways in the direction of the hill.
The family general let out a miserable laugh and looked at Yoshino Terama-kun: "Look, Terama-kun, Akito is still wary of whether we will spoil their good deeds. ”
Yoshinotera stood up and walked over to the family general with his hands folded.
Tie Xuan came from the artillery position on the hill with a smile on his face, escorted by only two brocade guards.
The eyes of the Japanese people are very bad, and these Japanese people who have not entered the city belong to the rare smart and rational people in the Yoshino family of the Southern Dynasty.
The killing intent and hatred were clearly perceived by Tie Xuan.
However, he was not afraid.
Because behind him is Da Ming.
"Congratulations to the general, another castle, if this continues, it won't be long before the Yoshino family will be able to recover the entire land of the Wa Province that was stolen by the Ashikaga family!"
Tie Xuan clasped his hands, and the smile on his face was no matter who saw it, he had to say a word, sincerely!
The general of the Yoshino family also followed the example of this damn Mingren, and clasped his hands, but made a far more standard return gift than Tie Xuan.
"We have been able to make so much progress because of the help of Daming, the help of generals and gentlemen." The family general was also smiling, but there were lines of tears in his heart.
Tie Xuan smiled and said, "The general has prepared a banquet in the camp, and there is a big fish that has just been caught from the open sea today, which has been made into fish and chilled with crushed ice. There are also two taels of sake, which can be eaten on the left. ”
What he said was very casual, but it made the generals of the Yoshino family and Yoshinoji Ma feel cold in their hearts.
Only the Ming people could catch big fish in the open sea in one day, and then send them here, and then make them into fish and chill them with crushed ice.
This reminded them of a long, long time ago in the Central Plains, because the emperor's beloved concubine liked to eat lychees, and the emperor's decree that the freshest lychees could be delivered to the palace in three days thousands of miles away from the origin of lychees.
And in the same way, the Ming people can have such a fast speed in the Wa Kingdom.
If they had reinforcements to arrive, they could have arrived by sea within a day.
This seemingly weak scholar-like Ming official, with a casual word, made the family general and Yoshino Tera Ma suppress all the crazy thoughts they originally had in their hearts.
It's actually pretty good to make fish on a chopping board.
At least, Da Ming is not ready to eat them now.
The family general and Yoshinoji Ma were smiling.
"It's my luck to be able to taste the fish trays prepared by the general."
Tie Xuan looked very enthusiastic and waved his arms: "Everyone, let's go into the camp with you." ”
On the hill, Li Jinglong has been silently watching Tie Xuan and the gang of Japanese people at the foot of the mountain.
He looked at the artillery battalion chief flag officer who was wiping the barrel of the cannon alone not far in front of him, and suddenly said, "Is His Royal Highness the Emperor the Emperor going to conquer the Japanese kingdom in person?" ”
