This is the second expedition of the Mongol Yuan to Japan, and in history, the two armies of the Mongol and Yuan southeastern armies met on Iki Island, and then when they attacked Kyushu, more than 100,000 people were wiped out under the typhoon.

This time, Fan Zhuoyuan followed Fan Wenhu on an expedition to Japan, of course, he learned the lessons of history, and set out a month ahead of schedule.

Departing at the beginning of May, it is now the beginning of June, and June-September is the typhoon season, and the fleet is stepping on the tail of time to reach its destination.

Even if there are no system requirements, Fan Zhuoyuan must arrange for the landing as soon as possible, otherwise there will not be much fresh water supply alone, not to mention that everyone on the ship has had enough of eating fish for nearly a month.

Fan Zhuoyuan was directing the landing, and his father Fan Wenhu came to the side.

"Hengwu, we don't report to the commander to change the landing location without authorization, and if we don't attend the meeting, we will blame Your Majesty for worrying about our father."

Hengwu is Fan Zhuoyuan's cursive character.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked down on his father, a traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was very good to himself, without him, Fan Zhuoyuan would not have been able to have a place to live in the troubled times and grow up to this point.

"Father, the general will not be subject to military orders abroad, not to mention that this is a vast sea, so it is said that the storm deviates from the deadline, and the court cannot be held accountable.

Moreover, this is the Mengyuan Dynasty rather than the Great Song Dynasty, and as long as the generals who lead the army can achieve their strategic goals, they have the right to self-determination in battle. ”

"Da Yuan, not Meng Yuan. Don't always be so contemptuous of the court, it will bring trouble to the family. ”

Fan Wenhu looked at a flat and vast land, and had to admit that this was a very favorable place for the army to land.

But he has always been timid, and he said worriedly: "We don't join forces with the Eastern Route Army, I don't know if the Eastern Route Army will come to your majesty to join me." ”

Fan Zhuoyuan said in his heart: Whether they can go back alive is still a question, first when the samurai coalition army is stuck with the Yuankou defense base, they are not allowed to land, and then when the typhoon strikes, the whole army will be annihilated! Why should I worry about them?

But he said: "Father, the Eastern Route Army is composed of the combined forces of the Han, Mongolia, and Goryeo tribes, and they do not obey each other.

In addition, the landing site was the same as it had been during the first expedition seven years earlier, and the Kamakura shogunate must have been prepared.

I expected that their landing would be difficult, and our 100,000-strong army was now landing in the small country of Hyuga in the southeastern corner of Kyushu.

There is a large coastline, flat and undefended, and once our army has gained a foothold on the shore, we will surely win a great victory because of the food on the enemy!

The most important work of the imperial court is to expand the territory, and no matter how the Eastern Route Army slanders it at that time, they will not be able to change the ironclad facts! ”

Fan Wenhu looked back and thought that what his son said was indeed reasonable, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Hengwu, our 100,000 army, except for 10,000 pro-troops, the rest are basically Zhang Shijie's old troops.

They are not subject to the Father's discipline, but they are subject to you, and you can bring it for the Father.

Conquer Japan and report to the imperial court, such a great achievement, it will definitely be able to show our southerners in front of the Mongolian and Han tribes in the north! With such a center in the court, there must be a place for our Fan family! ”

Fan Zhuoyuan bowed his head slightly, quite disapproving, he didn't have the consciousness to work hard for the Tartars.

This trip to attack Japan, although there was helplessness in it, but it was also to find a way out for these 100,000 Southern Song Dynasty soldiers.

Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty has always been worried about the 100,000 Zhang Shijie's subordinates, worried that sooner or later they will lead the people of Jiangnan and Huai to miss the old Song Dynasty and the scholars and doctors to rebel.

But there has never been a good way to deal with this force, and if it is not for this expedition, it is very likely that they will face an even more tragic end in the future.

Moreover, this trip to Japan is also a good opportunity, and if you grasp it well, you can completely establish a base overseas, accumulate strength, and wait for the next day to rebuild China.

Under the command of Fan Zhuoyuan, in less than an hour, the advance troops had successfully landed.

The beachhead is a vast flat area that can be ridden by horseback, making it more suitable for landing than the narrow land of broken islands in western Kyushu.

There were only a few dilapidated fishing villages on the shore, and the fishermen had already left the villages in fright when they saw the army coming.

To Fan Zhuoyuan's surprise, more than a thousand samurai and ashigaru rushed to the shore.

Seeing that their banners are unified, they should be the samurai left behind in the Hyuga country.

Fan Zhuoyuan stood on the flagship, crossed his arms and observed the warriors on the shore, and saw that all of them were as earth-colored as earth, and he couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart.

There is no danger to defend the coastline of Hyuga Country, and there are two tributaries that lead directly to the mainland, how can you stop it?

There was no need for Fan Zhuoyuan to command at all, and the whole army opened the trebuchet and bed crossbow from the ship in accordance with the established tactics, and at the same time the soldiers opened their bows and shot arrows.

In the past thousand days, the warriors of the Oriental Kingdom had never seen such dense firepower, leaving dozens of corpses behind, and they retreated in a panic.

The advance landing force was 3,000 people, and at this time, the enemy fought in formation, and the army was in order, and the marching alone had already made the hearts of the samurai on the opposite side fearful.

The large army was combat, well-organized, and unstoppable, and it was not at all something that the technologically and tactically backward Japanese samurai groups of this era could fight against, and they could only watch in amazement without any cover of fortifications.

The commander finally couldn't wait any longer, drew his long sword, rode to the land of arrows, and shouted in stiff Chinese: "I am the old Hojo Sosha of the Hojo family of Hyuga Country, and I am also a famous samurai and great swordsman of Kyushu Country, and anyone else dares to fight with me!" ”

The advance troops looked at each other, isn't this person sick in the brain, who will fight with you in the war?

Fan Zhuoyuan gave a military order, and the army was divided into three parts, the left, the center, and the right were scattered according to the order, and the left and right parts were outflanked by the enemy's flank, but the middle part stayed in place.

Fan Zhuoyuan wants to fight a war of annihilation and completely eat this army, so that the Hyuga Kingdom will no longer have an inch to defend!

But he needed to hold off the force in front of him before they could break up on their own.

"It's boring, I'm going to do some activity."

The method he chose to hold back was to accept a ride from the enemy general!

Hojo Munesha looked left and right, and found that the enemy army was about to copy him, and Ben was a little flustered and wanted to lead the army to retreat.

No, at this time, Fan Zhuoyuan took the initiative to walk out and accepted his challenge.

Island people have always gambled deeply, and they dare to gamble on the fortunes of the country, why don't you dare to do this heads-up?

Hojo Sosha looked at Fan Zhuoyuan, and had already made up his mind to cut off the opponent's head, and then took advantage of the enemy's panic to take a central breakthrough and completely defeat it.

In this way, the enemy's division of troops is conducive to the implementation of their own tactics, and the key is to defeat this general.

Fan Zhuoyuan, who was observing the hojo sect step by step, exclaimed in his heart: "What a heroic warrior!" It's a pity that the way of martial arts does not mean that it is strong! ”

Seven years ago, the Yuan army conquered Japan for the first time, and the Japanese samurai saw the strength of the Yuan army, but they did not think much of the Yuan army's ability to fight alone.

So much so that seven years later, these samurai formed a rigid impression, thinking that the Yuan army was not good at heads-up fighting, and was only good at group combat, so that Hojo Soasa was more confident in himself!

Hojo Munechi saw that Fan Zhuoyuan was paralyzed, neither armor-piercing nor holding any blades.

Immediately holding a knife and shouting: "The warriors of Hyuga Province will not cut off the unarmed, draw out your blades." ”

Fan Zhuoyuan pointed at his opponent, shook his index finger, and then changed his thumb to point downward.

Everything was in plain sight, Hojo Sect was angry and changed color, and rushed towards Fan Zhuoyuan on a war horse, the sharp sword shimmering with cold light.
