Chapter 298: From now on, he can only be called the lord of the country
When the roar of gunpowder sounded on the battlefield of the Battle of Gyeonggi, the seeds of fear were planted in the minds of all the Japanese people by the hands of the Qiongzhou Tuanlian!
The peasants and soldiers who were arranged on the edge of the military formation stared at everything in front of them with wide eyes in horror, numb but dull!
Large clouds of fire and smoke burst out in those elite formations, and stumps and severed arms flew high into the sky, and many people turned into plumes of smoke without any reaction, and even the bodies could not be found.
Under the blow that can be called the same as the body, there are still people who desperately charge, but what greets those people is the roar that seems to never stop, the black gun tube is constantly flickering with bright firelight, and under the choking smoke, projectiles like raindrops fly out!
The shogun, who was personally supervising the battle on the high platform behind the army, fell from the high platform and broke one of his legs, and the ensuing rout of the peasant soldiers toppled the entire high platform.
The roar of gunpowder and the horror of the gunpowder, no matter how many times you have heard it in rumors, are not as convincing as seeing it once.
Even before the war, the generals of the shogunate kept telling their soldiers what the weapons used in the Qiongzhou regimental training from the Great Yan Kingdom looked like, and how shocking and terrifying the gunpowder was when it exploded, but when they really faced all this, even those generals who repeatedly preached suspected that they were in purgatory!
The shogun's most famous command was a fleet of five hundred dragoons.
Because of the special geographical location, it is difficult for the Wa people who are trapped on the island to obtain excellent war horses, and even the Great Yan Kingdom, which also lacks horses, is many times better than the Wa Kingdom.
The so-called dragoons were cavalry that the shogunate spent a lot of effort to collect over many years.
The so-called war horses of the dragoons, even in the eyes of the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, who also lacked war horses, were just low, donkey-like things, but in the Wa Kingdom, where there had never been a cavalry group charge, the dragoons were already a terrifying existence that was enough to make everyone fearful!
When the dragoons were bombarded with gunpowder, the panicked horses instantly broke free from the knight's control, causing great chaos.
There were also elite cavalrymen who tried their best to control their mounts and rushed towards the formation of the Qiongzhou regiment, but under the continuous bombardment of fire, all efforts were worthless.
There is not one of the elite of the shogunate, and the samurai cobbled together by the daimyo are even more focused on because of the gorgeous carcass, and the monks and soldiers who were specially instructed by Zhao Hengyi before the war were ravaged!
The shogunate army, which had just started the war and had high hopes from many people and many forces, was no different from the coalition army formed by the daimyo of Kyushu, and it collapsed in an instant!
And unlike the treatment of the coalition army formed by the Kyushu daimyo, the Qiongzhou regimental training did not maintain an attitude of not pursuing this time, but launched a charge against the target that needed to be cleared in the sharp bamboo whistle!
The triangular bayonets shimmered with cold light, and the sound of fire bolts rang out on the battlefield from time to time, and the smoke rising from the air often represented a shogunate elite or samurai who dared to resist.
As for the monks, they started the same rout and escape mode as the peasant soldiers, and even found that after they were specially targeted by the Qiongzhou regimental training, these soldiers were fat and strong, and the guys with fat heads and big ears took the initiative to take off their monk robes and blend into the peasant soldiers!
Such a clever approach surprised the Shogunate's statistical losses after this war to find that none of the 500-strong dragoons survived, only 13 of the 5,000-strong elite remained, and all the samurai of the Daimyo Organization died in bliss, while more than 300 monks and soldiers of just 1,000 escaped alive!
I have to say that even if Zhao Hengyi faces this statistic, he will scratch his head, and even make him suspicious of the flying thunder cannon and gunpowder bag used by the Qiongzhou team!
It stands to reason that even if there was no subsequent pursuit of the Qiongzhou regimental training, it was just the gunpowder bombardment in the early stage, and so many monks and soldiers should not have walked off the battlefield alive!
It can only be said that the Dharma is truly boundless!
The great rout that had been staged outside Hirado Castle reappeared on the battlefield of the Battle of Gyeonggi, and for Cho Hyung-yi, who was also standing behind the army to supervise the battle, there was really not much difference between the rout of 100,000 men and the rout of 50,000 people.
It's just that this scene of the enemy fleeing in a hurry will not be boring no matter how many times you watch it, and the only hope is that the shogun who fell from the high platform must not lose his life in the chaos, otherwise, there will be a long period of chaos in the power change in the shogunate, which will inevitably make Zhao Hengyi's plan uncertain.
Adhering to the tradition of the Wa Kingdom, even if the shogunate personally fought in battle, there were still countless people eating melons around the battlefield.
Naturally, most of these people are lively, but there are also spies from various forces, or the gang that can send spies will not miss this important battle.
When the rout came, when the mountains were full of desperate and fleeing peasants, these people who watched the excitement of eating melons also fell into an incredible group effect, and began to run desperately together!
The number of troops organized by the shogunate can be roughly counted, but the number of melon-eating people scattered around the battlefield to watch the excitement cannot be counted.
As if they had encountered some kind of natural disaster or divine punishment, all the Japanese people were fleeing, and the huge chaos spread like a plague to the land of Gyeonggi!
The Qiongzhou team, which had achieved the battle goal, did not disperse the pursuit, but quickly and actively organized the formation under the long trumpet sound, and slowly and steadily approached Gyeonggi.
Because of the chaos caused by the rout, the shogunate's army was like sheep driven by wolves, until the end, Zhao Hengyi didn't know whether the shogun who fell from the high platform was dead or alive, but the opponent's armor was not found on the battlefield, and even if he died, he should have been taken away from the battlefield by the samurai around him.
When the long drive went straight to the residence of the emperor who appeared in the Qiongju regimental training that entered Gyeonggi, the eager ministers were already standing on the street, waiting to greet the prince of the kingdom!
Returning to the emperor is tantamount to returning power to these ministers, how can these cysts, who were regarded by the samurai as rotten for a long time, not be eager to face the Qiongzhou Tuanlian and Zhao Hengyi, who defeated the shogunate army?
But contrary to the expectations of these ministers, Zhao Hengyi did not pay attention to them, but directly ordered that all these ministers and nobles be temporarily detained, and the Qiongzhou regimental training with firearms needed to quickly enter the emperor's residence and take over all the defense with an unquestionable attitude!
In order to ensure the safety of the lord of the Japanese state, Qiongzhou Tuanlian temporarily took over everything in the royal city......
As for Emperor Yunyun, it is disrespectful to the officials of my Great Yan Kingdom, and it is suspected of disobedience, and from now on, it must not be mentioned again.
