Chapter 530: Times Have Changed, Your Excellency, General
"Charge, the enemy is King Wu of the Ming Kingdom!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who had fled back to Heiankyo in the battle with Randama, appeared at the castle gate, roaring on his horse with a shout of the general's great armor.
His eyes were red, his whole beard was open, and he had long lost the calm appearance of being in a high position before. After losing the First World War, his father's and ancestors' foundation was instantly exhausted, and this pain made him almost unbearable. When I dreamed back at midnight, I always dreamed that Yamana Tokishi snatched his helmet and was beheaded by the Ming army general behind him.
He always believed that even if his talent was not as good as that of his grandfather, Ashikaga Takaji, who founded the shogunate, he would certainly not be too far behind. The ability to manipulate power is far greater than that of his fathers and ancestors. In time, Japan will be unified and the Ashikaga shogunate will be at its most glorious.
But he didn't expect that in his own hands, the shogunate changed into this appearance.
"Damn the Ming Kingdom, damn the Daoyan monk" By now, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finally knew that the unfathomable monk was clearly a spy sent by the Ming Dynasty. It was precisely because of his instigation that he made a mistake in walking, thinking that Daming was not a great enemy, and missed the best opportunity to attack Daming.
I took the words of a liar as if I were a guide, and listened to his words, Ming Guo was just trying to make a false name for the suzerain, and he would not take this country far away from the ocean seriously. But he suppressed the real loyal minister Yamana Shi in every way
Now that there is no Dao Yan's "analysis", he finally understands that the purpose of the Ming Dynasty was to swallow Japan from the beginning, and it was not "aid" or "demonstration" at all. As the de facto ruler of Japan, he Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is about to become a sinner of Japan through the ages, and he is forever nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of Japan in the name of "mediocrity"!
"It's still too late, it's still too late...... Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who is close to madness, makes the final bet.
"It's all because of the prince of the Ming Kingdom. It was he who controlled the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, as long as he could kill him, the ranks of these two ministers and thieves would naturally disperse in a hurry, and without the righteousness provided by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the Ming general called Lan Yu would also be struggling......"
"As long as you can kill him, everything will still have a chance to turn around......"
With this in mind, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gathered the last members of the shogunate, and at the moment before the castle was about to be destroyed, he brazenly launched a counter-charge against the naturalized army of the Seonsoi Division outside the castle.
This is the strongest hole card created by the three generations of the shogunate at all costs, which was originally used to deter the world and maintain the stability of the shogun's position. Now it suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The army of Fujiwara and others did not expect Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to dare to attack out of the city, and in an instant, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and in an instant, the city gate was in chaos.
Those naturalized daimyo were originally a rabble of improvised patchwork, and if they could still compete for the lead in a good battle, the situation at the front was suddenly blocked, and they were a little at a loss. Seeing this opportunity, the elite shogunate samurai carried the "small flag" embroidered with the Ashikaga family crest, and rode war horses and roared loudly to tear apart the army of the naturalized daimyo.
Under the personal leadership of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he launched a charge towards the core of the Zhusu main camp.
"Your Highness, please move!" Fujiwara, who led the army, was shocked when he saw that these shogunate troops were brave.
"It's just some cavalry, so why be alarmed." Zhu Su only glanced at it, but still stood still.
"Your Highness doesn't know that the shogun is the co-master of the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, and these shogunate samurai are also the most elite and warlike samurai in the Wa Kingdom." Seeing that Zhu Su was inappropriate, Fujiwara explained at high speed in an extremely fast voice.
"These samurai are equal to ordinary daimyo samurai, and they are all idle when one is ten. This time they attacked suddenly, and it was the shogun himself who led the ......"
"I'm afraid that no one can stop their attack...... Your Highness, hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late! ”
Seeing that the ranks of the naturalized daimyo were torn apart by the shogunate's horseback samurai, Fujiwara was even more anxious. Zhu Su still looked at those shogunate horseback warriors with a scrutinizing gaze, and in all fairness, after coming to the Wa Kingdom, this decisive charge launched by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was indeed the only battle that could be seen.
Compared with the Shanyang Wanhu encountered in northern Xinjiang before, it is not far behind.
However, at that time, Shanyang Wanhu was actually due to the light enemy, and because they were just here to take advantage, they naturally did not have such a decisive momentum. Really, how can these monkey cavalry of the Wa Kingdom be compared with the Mongolian cavalry, the old opponent of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing Fujiwara's frightened look, Zhu Su patted Fujiwara's shoulder and comforted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
"They came just in time, and this king is still worried about these five thousand brothers, and this trip to the country of the Japanese is in vain."
“…… Ay? The anxious look on Fujiwara's face froze.
The biggest reason why he brought these 5,000 people to the country was to test the degree of generation difference between the new firearms. After all, today's firearms are only enough to equip these 5,000 people, and it can be said that these people are the "new army" of the Ming Dynasty.
Having tried the feasibility of using tiger squat cannons to defend the defense, it is time to try the tactics of dealing with elite cavalry charges in the field.
"Kill!" Ashikaga Yoshishi was full of pride, watching his cavalry tear through the military formations of those weak traitors layer by layer, and approaching the prince of the Ming Dynasty step by step, he felt that he was sure to turn the tables. That Ming prince was only guarded by a few thousand Ming people, and his elite warriors had already formed a charging momentum, and no one could stop the elite cavalry in the charging state.
Just like that day, the general of the Ming Kingdom named Lan Yu defeated himself.
The same situation, I have to let these Ming people taste it.
However, he had just penetrated the military formation of the naturalized Japanese people, and saw the ranks of the Ming people in a neat military formation, but the confidence brought by the destruction of the withering and decaying along the way suddenly stiffened: he saw the strange hollow iron rods held in the hands of those Ming people.
"What kind of weapon is that...... The rumored collapse of the country? No, the collapse of the country is not so small......"
As soon as the thought came to this, I heard a crackling sound of popping beans. The warriors of the shogunate, who were still charging bravely in the front row, suddenly fell down as if they had hit an invisible wall.
"Nani?"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was stunned and inexplicable, not knowing what had happened.
He tried to squint, but he couldn't see what was stopping his valiant samurai. But the momentum has risen, and the elite of the shogunate can only choose to continue the charge.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu firmly believes that even if the Ming Dynasty has any demon methods, he can successfully rush over and cut off the head of the Ming prince at any cost.
However, he thought too simply.
The sound of popping beans continued to sound, rows of samurai died one by one, and the elite horseback samurai galloped hard, but they never got close to the Ming army's line. Finally, a samurai broke down and shouted "Yokai! Then he turned his horse's head and fled to the rear.
Someone took the lead, and more and more people lost their will to fight. The elite of this shogunate was built with all its might, and before it could even engage the Ming army, it began to disperse. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was furious, cut off the head of a deserter with a sword in his hand, and scolded: "Don't retreat!" You are all glorious warriors, how can you be afraid of the magic of the Great Ming......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a chill on his forehead. This time he finally saw it clearly: it was an iron pellet that hit the center of his eyebrow.
"It's ...... What ......"
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu fell. Before he died, he finally understood how powerful this army of the Ming Dynasty was.
From the beginning, the shogunate's defeat was already doomed. Da Ming exhausted all means, but he was unwilling to waste too many casualties in vain.
The Wa Kingdom was annexed by the Ming Dynasty, which was already the destiny of heaven.
It turned out that he had become a shogun, but he was still a frog at the bottom of a well...... What......
The elite samurai of the shogunate scattered and fled, and no one paid attention to him, the shogun, and the jumble hooves of the horses soon trampled the noble shogun to a human form.
"Think that if the cavalry directly wins the commander, there will still be a chance to turn the tables?"
"Times have long since changed, Your Excellency."
Seeing that this army, known as "the most elite in the Japanese country", was easily dispersed, Zhu Su muttered to himself quite proudly.
