"Nakaomon."

"Ascend to the altar."

There was a hint of interest in Zhu Xiongying's eyes, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little interesting, and he didn't know what he was messing with.

"Check it out."

The horse seemed to understand Zhu Xiongying's words, and there was no need to pull the reins at all, the white horse carrying His Majesty the Ming Emperor slowly turned a corner, walked out of Suzaku Street, and walked towards the position of the Zhongyu Gate.

As for the group of Japanese royals who were kneeling on Suzaku Street and trembling, their faces were like ashes, they were all taken down as prisoners of war by Chang Tianci, and hundreds of members of the imperial family paraded through the streets of Suzaku Street.

In Kyoto, the fighting between the two armies continued, but these Japanese samurai no longer had the heart to fight.

They should have received the order, at this time all the samurai are retreating in the direction of the Nakagomon, if you look at the whole of Kyoto from a high altitude at this time, you can see with the naked eye, the entire battle circle is rapidly shrinking.

The Middle Gate is not a city gate, but a wide street.

At this time, the streets were lined with Japanese warriors, each with a firm look in their eyes, sworn to defend the gate.

It's just because in this place of the Imperial Gate, there is the head of their samurai family, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who gave them samurai authority.

In the center of the street, there is an altar in the style of a very Japanese style.

A group of shamans dressed strangely, with whiteboards or demon masks on their faces, are dancing in a Shinto manner, and there is drum music playing next to it, which is also very strange, and the children listen to it and call it nightmares at night.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was wearing a 'yellow cogon dyed robe', standing in the center of this altar, also not knowing what was being said to the gods.

Directly in front of the altar, on the open street, figures were arranged in the shape of a 'well', and one by one the sturdy samurai with open chests and white headbands on their heads kneeling, each with a wooden wedge in his mouth, and a short knife resting on the white cloth beside him.

No more, no less, the number of samurai was just eight hundred.

It was at this time.

"My lord, His Majesty the Emperor has been captured."

A retainer walked quickly to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and whispered.

After listening to the retainers' reports, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face did not change in the slightest for this result, and he was not surprised at all.

After all, the troops guarding Miyagi were withdrawn, and with the few people of the public family, it was impossible to stop the tiger-wolf Ming army.

Moreover, this is exactly what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wants to see.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's brows furrowed slightly, not because the emperor was arrested, but for the current battle situation in the city, out of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's original expectations, he thought that even if the Ming army invaded the city, at most it would be inseparable from his samurai group.

After all, he had 400,000 warriors hoarded in the city, so it was impossible for him to fall into disadvantage.

However, the current situation is completely one-sided.

Many important strongholds in the city have all been breached, and the samurai can only flee in panic.

From the heights of the sky, he could even see that his samurai were completely tortured and killed, and the sound of explosions made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face darker and darker.

"Father."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eldest son, Ashikaga Yoshimori, was wearing armor and walked quickly to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's side at this time.

He led 100,000 samurai regiments directly under the Ashikaga clan, guarding the perimeter of this Nakaomon Gate, and outside were the samurai regiments of the seven major families, and the number of samurai regiments of these seven families combined was close to 200,000.

However, at this time, the samurai order of the seven families was in the stage of imminent collapse.

"Say."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's voice was cold, which made Ashikaga Yoshinori tremble.

Knowing that his father was unhappy, Ashikaga Yoshinori did not dare to stagnate in the slightest.

"The people of the seven major families can't hold on, it is estimated that they will scatter in half an hour at most, these guys, when they fight, they all want to preserve their strength, they don't obey the order, they fight on their own, and when they see that the limelight is wrong, they are all thinking about how to open up."

Ashikaga Yoshitsu said angrily.

The samurai regiments of these seven families seem to be numerous, but their combat power is very average.

"Hmm."

Regarding the performance of the Seven Great Clans, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not surprised.

The Muromachi shogunate, unlike the later Toyotomi Hideyoshi, after the Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the Wa Kingdom, he held all the military power in his own hands, and he was able to let the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom obey his command.

But at the moment, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the samurai regiment he can absolutely command, is actually only 100,000 samurai of the Ashikaga clan.

And the others, if there is meat to eat, will naturally follow to nibble a few bites, and if they find that something is wrong, they will run fast one by one.

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshinori finished speaking, another retainer hurriedly came and said sharply.

"My lord, the samurai regiment of the Isshiki clan has retired."

"My lord, the Kyogoku clan has also retired."

“…………”

One retainer after another came to report quickly, all of them reported the news that the major families had run away.

"Damn it!"

Ashikaga Yoshinori heard that the major families had run away so quickly, and he scolded angrily, and got off the altar with a katana.

Now that the samurai regiment of the seven major families has retreated, the Ming army will next attack the samurai regiment of the Ashikaga clan head-on, and he naturally has to lead the army to fight and defend his father.

"It doesn't matter, they're going to regret their decision today."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said coldly, his eyes were full of cold light, and he didn't care about the retreat of the major families.

On the contrary, in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's view, after this incident, it was just this excuse to settle accounts with the major families.

Then, he turned and stepped step by step on the highest point of the altar, about ten meters high.

From here, overlook the entire front of the altar of the samurai.

"My warriors!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stretched out his hands, and his majestic voice echoed around the altar, and the eight hundred samurai who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads when they heard this, and they all raised their hands in response.

"Today will be the honor of your life and the glory of your life!"

"Your family will be proud of you, and your people will be proud of your dedication!"

"Come, pick up this blessed sword in your hands!"

With Ashikaga Yoshimitsu yelling.

I saw that these eight hundred warriors, like haystacks ignited by sparks, were all extraordinary, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and without hesitation, they picked up the short knives on the white towels beside them.

"With your blood, answer the call from heaven."

As Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's voice sounded, these eight hundred samurai did not hesitate at all, and stabbed them in the abdomen.

Suddenly, blood flowed across the entire Zhongyu Gate.

This era of the current Wa Kingdom.

Cross-chopped seppuku is extremely popular.

………………

At the same time, Zhu Xiongying, who was slowly approaching the imperial gate in the middle of the court, suddenly frowned slightly, patted the horse's back, and the white horse immediately stopped obediently, and flicked the horse's tail left and right.

Then Zhu Xiongying raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Zhongyu Gate, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

At that moment, he felt an extremely surging prayer force appear in the middle of the gate.

And the reason why I can feel this power of prayer is because Zhu Xiongying can also inherit the power of incense, such as the sword that broke the sky in Jiujiang Mansion before, which used the power of incense from the soldiers and civilians of Jiujiang.

The power of prayer that appears on the altar leads to the heavens.

Previously, Zhu Xiongying had guessed that God could not directly give power, but the process of blessing mortals: pray first, and then bless.

And the strength of this blessing should be related to the piety of the prayer and the scale of the prayer.

"Spread my will, all the soldiers, within a quarter of an hour, evacuate to five miles away from the Central Imperial Gate."

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth.

He didn't know what the prayer was about, but it definitely didn't bode well, and letting the troops withdraw first would minimize the casualties of the dreadnought.

Xu Huizu on the side was stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand what Zhu Xiongying's will meant, it was clear that the morale of the army was now at its peak, and it was only one step away from the final victory, and he only needed to kill for another hour or two to completely swallow the last 100,000 samurai of the Ashikaga clan.

This battle to exterminate the Japanese will be completely declared to end with a complete victory for the Ming army.

At this time, the attack was suddenly stopped, and the army retreated five miles away, Xu Huizu believed that not only could he not figure it out, but once this order was handed down, the whole army would not be able to figure out the reason.

"Huh?"

Zhu Xiongying saw Xu Huizu stunned in place, and did not move, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

His Majesty the Emperor's quasi-brother-in-law, under Zhu Xiongying's glance, suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and without any hesitation, he immediately conveyed Zhu Xiongying's will.

If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, Xu Huizu will never suspect that there is anything wrong with His Majesty's will, and if you can't figure it out, it should just be that you are stupid.

This is a must-have quality for a good horse boy.

The emperor's holy decree was conveyed to the army, and the Ming army besieging the imperial gate suddenly retreated like a tide.

As Xu Huizu expected, these soldiers who were originally becoming more and more brave were very puzzled why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly ordered to withdraw from the army, and those commanders were the same, and they came to Zhu Xiongying's place one by one, wanting to find an explanation.

However, they didn't dare to ask Zhu Xiongying, so they could only stare at Xu Huizu vigorously, hoping to get an answer from Xu Huizu.

And Xu Huizu responded to them with only his trademark smirk.

I wanted to ask me what I was doing, and I wanted to fucking know why!

"Eliminate the fleeing Japanese soldiers, there is no one left, kill them all."

Zhu Xiongying knew what these people were wondering about, and he didn't bother to explain, after all, praying for this thing was too metaphysical, and with their current ability, it was still difficult to understand in a short time.

All the commanders were stunned, thinking that the core and main forces of the Japanese State were not fighting here, why should they chase and kill those non-main forces that fled.

However, the commanders did not dare to have any opinions on Zhu Xiongying's will, and they obeyed the order one after another and led the troops to kill.

And in the land of the middle gate.

Ashikaga Yoshinoro saw that the Ming army was pressing, and he had already planned to fight for his life, but it turned out that the Ming army had all withdrawn, and he was confused and didn't know what was going on.

The retainers of the Ashikaga clan were also staring at each other, not knowing what they were doing.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi subconsciously looked back at the distant altar behind him, and found that the father on the altar was kneeling in the center of the altar at this time, and he also opened his upper chest, untied his hair crown, and grabbed a silver dagger in his right hand.

This posture seems to be trying to give himself a cross slash.

Ashikaga Yoshimori's face changed suddenly, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and ran back like crazy, rushing to the altar in three steps and two steps.

"Father, don't!"

Jumping up, snatching the knife raised in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's hand, his body rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, Ashikaga Yoshinori got up, and saw that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was intact, so he exhaled a long breath.

"What are you doing?!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he looked at his eldest son fiercely.

"Give me the knife!"

There was a loud shout, and Ashikaga Yoshimochi was holding the silver dagger tightly, obviously ready to kill him.

"Father, why can't you think about it!"

Ashikaga Yoshinori shouted repeatedly, he didn't want to see Ashikaga Yoshimitsu die on this altar, after all, as soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu died, his eldest son would have to take the lead, and he didn't want to take over in this situation.

Silence, after a while.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally understood what the eldest son meant, and he thought that he was going to have a seppuku too.

"I am not seppuku, but I am cutting my hair instead."

"The sacrifice of blood, Lord Hatakeyama has done it on behalf of his father."

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said this, Ashikaga Yoshinori finally reacted, it turned out that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly sent the silver dagger to his father.

Taking the silver dagger, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not hesitate at all.

He cut off most of his hair, and then threw it into the brazier not far ahead, burning it to ashes, and a wisp of black smoke rose into the sky.

It was also at this time that the eight hundred samurai in front of the altar had all completed the cross seppuku, and they all fell to the ground with their heads down, blood flowing, except for a few hundred or so who were still convulsing, the rest had all been cut off from life.

"Father, the Ming army suddenly retreated."

After Ashikaga Yoshimori came quietly, he hurriedly told Ashikaga Yoshimitsu about the battle situation in the city.

"Withdrawn?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who had finished the hair cutting ceremony, slowly stood up, which surprised him a little.

He looked at the battlefield with great eyes, and sure enough, the Ming army that had been surrounding the middle gate had all retreated, but there was a figure riding a white horse, which gradually came into the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"Sure enough, young people are bold."

In the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Ming Emperor Zhu Xiongying was coming slowly, followed by only a few people.

"Father, what are we going to do next?"

Ashikaga Yoshichi asked repeatedly, since the Ming army has retreated, should it continue to fight or not? Fight back? Stationed?

"Do you know why the Ming army is retreating."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu grinned and looked at his son.

Ashikaga Yoshichi was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself how I knew why the Ming army was retreating, and I was not the commander of the Ming army, so I couldn't answer, and looked at my father with a puzzled face.

"Go down, take the samurai, and leave the Nakagomon."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu held his head high and looked at the sky, as if he was holding a victory.

"Yes."

Regarding Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's decision, Ashikaga Yoshimori, as a son, did not ask why.

Over the years, he has followed his father, and often sees his father doing strange things and decisions, and at first he will ask about the reasons, but later on, he will not bother to ask again.

Because every result proves the wisdom of my father.

Ashikaga Yoshinori hurriedly went down to the altar.

With an order, the Japanese soldiers surrounding the Zhongyu Gate also withdrew one after another.

A quarter of an hour later, the huge middle gate had been emptied, and there was only one altar and the eight hundred kneeling samurai.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stood in the center of the altar, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding seppuku samurai, grinning at the moment when the last samurai's vitality was also cut off.

The sound of wild laughter resounded through the empty street.

Boom Boom...!

The ground began to shake violently, like a ten-magnitude earthquake.

With the street of Nakayumen as the center, countless cracks of zhang wide appeared on the ground, and countless buildings collapsed.

The commanders who were strangling and killing the fleeing Japanese soldiers all over the city all sensed the violent shaking and the neighing of the horses, and they all subconsciously looked in the direction of the middle gate.

In an instant, all of them were a sigh in their hearts, and their hearts were all praising His Majesty's sage.

If it weren't for His Majesty's order to let them evacuate, I am afraid that more than half of the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops would be swallowed up by this earth split.

"That's...!"

Chang Mao Lerma stopped.

His gaze looked in the direction of the Nakayu Gate, his eyes were terrified to the extreme, and he saw a scene that he would never forget.

And not only him.

Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Zhang Yu and others..., all of them.

These battle-hardened generals, all of them shrank back in disbelief, looking at Zhongyumen in disbelief, stunned by their battle-hardened hearts, and the hands holding the swords couldn't help but tremble at this moment.

"What the hell?"

Chang Tianci picked up the wind and thunder halberd in his hand, and the three or five Japanese soldiers in front of him were pierced by his halberd, hearing the roar, standing on the horse, he looked in the direction of the middle gate, and his jaw was shocked for a moment.

An eardrum-shaking roar suddenly sounded at this moment.

The entire Zhongyumen Street, from the middle of the crack dozens of zhang away from a huge crack, only to see eight huge one-horned snake heads rushed out of it, each snake head, is enough to be three stories huge.

As soon as it appeared, it was Meng who opened the snake's mouth.

Eight snake mouths swallowed all the 800 seppuku warriors.

Then there was another roar.

Countless foams spewed out, and a foul smell filled the air.

At this time, on the altar, the priests and musicians were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, and their whole bodies were swinging.

Around Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, those retainers were all frightened, they had guessed that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was doing something mysterious, but they didn't expect it to be such a thing.

"Yaki Orochi."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu laughed rampantly, and actually rushed off the altar and stepped directly on a snake head, and the big snake seemed to have opened his mind, and he didn't even refuse.

Boom Boom...!

The ground was constantly shaking, and the huge bodies behind the eight snake heads were constantly rushing out of the ground.

Finally, the full picture of Yaqi appeared.

This is a hundred zhang long, there are eight heads, the snake's eyes are as red as sour pulp, and the body has grown a big snake with hunting scale armor, in the legend of the Wa Kingdom, there is an eight-headed snake, which is called the Baqi snake.

Boom, with a radius of thousands of zhang where Yaqi is, heavy rain pours down.

It is three miles away from the Nakagomon Gate.

Zhu Xiongying looked at the eight big snakes that appeared with a calm expression, if they are described according to the form, they can be called snake Jiao.

He was pondering a question.

How did this strange snake come about?

Mythology? Reiki revival?

No way.

Zhu Xiongying was the first to deny this.

Even Yang Huaxia doesn't have such a thing as aura revival, and this small country can have a fart aura revival.

Since it is not a revival of aura, is there some supernatural power?

Can it be explained scientifically?

This reminded Zhu Xiongying of a movie called the Great Snake King that he had seen in the 21st century, the snake in the movie seemed to be thundered and grew bigger and bigger, and finally reached a hundred feet in size, the only difference is that there are no eight heads.

There is a high probability that this eight-headed big Jiao should have mutated over many years, and it is possible that it has been living in a mine full of radioactive materials, and then it was inexplicably struck by lightning and something like that, and the error grew bigger and bigger, and it has been trapped in the underground of Kyoto.

This time, the U Heaven obeyed the prayer and caused an earthquake to release the thing.

In this way, is there such a monster in the territory of Huaxia?

After all, since the ancients have records, such as those things recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Poor Phoenix Nine-Tailed Fox, it is definitely not groundless, and there will be a little shadow.

Xu Huizu on his side originally focused his eyes on Baqi, and then he was suddenly stunned, because he found that Zhu Xiongying's figure in front of him had disappeared on the white horse.

Subconsciously looked at it, and found that Zhu Xiongying actually appeared on Zhongyu Street, only a few feet away from the altar, and it was extremely close to the Baqi Snake, and his heart suddenly cooled.

"Hehe, Emperor Xiaoming, suffer death!"

On the head of a snake in the middle of the Yaki Orochi, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu stood proudly with his clothes open, overlooking Zhu Xiongying who appeared in the middle of the Imperial Gate, with a rampant smug look in his eyes.

In his opinion, the moment Yagi appeared, his victory was already sealed.

"Eat him!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Xiongying.

The Baqi Snake actually obeyed his orders, the eight snake heads all roared wildly, and the two snake heads on the far left and right roared and opened their huge mouths, and rushed towards Zhu Xiongying on the ground.

Rumble!

The ground shattered.

Huge smoke and dust rose from the sky.

Heaven and earth fell into a dead silence for a moment, except for the wild laughter of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"Your Majesty!"

All the Ming troops saw this scene, their brains were buzzing, and they rushed towards the Zhongyu Gate like crazy.

And right now.

"The law is like heaven and earth."

A desert voice sounded slowly.

The voice was soft, but it was incomparably clear to the ears of everyone in the city.

Rumble!

The body of the Baqi snake was suddenly lifted away by Meng, and it fell hundreds of feet away, and a large area of buildings was razed to ruins.

Zhu Xiongying's original god turned into a hundred zhang of giant, the black gold emperor's crown robe, wearing twelve crowns, a majestic coercion, scattered in all directions, making people unable to look up to the majesty.
