It was not necessary for the three people to give the order to retreat, and seeing that the god-like 'five hundred people' were swallowed up by the Ming cavalry almost without resistance, the local tyrants in Kyushu were all frightened, how could they still have the will to fight?

As soon as they heard the sound of the retreating gong, the armies rushed towards the water city two miles away.

Although their two small short legs could not outrun the Ming cavalry behind them, none of them refused to slow down. Because as long as you run faster than your allies, you have a chance to escape.

Hu Quan led his cavalry, chopping melons and vegetables to kill the rout, chased in front of Shuicheng in one breath, only stopped outside the moat, and shot the fleeing Japanese with bows and arrows, forcing them to jump into the river to escape, but drowned an unknown number of people......

At this time, it was almost dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, the underground river was full of dead Japanese soldiers, and the moat was stained red with blood.

Only then did Hu Quan lead his subordinates to collect troops and return to the camp.

~~

Prince Huailiang and Guan Bai Ertiao Lai of the Southern Dynasty stood on top of the water city, looking at the dead corpses all over the mountains, all of them were as pale as dirt and their hearts were as cold as ice.

Unexpectedly, they worked hard to prepare for half a year, and the Hakata defense line, which gathered most of the strength of the southern country, was broken through after only one day. And the defeat was so miserable, if it weren't for this water city in the way, the Ming army would have been able to enter Dazaifu in one go.

Speaking of which, this water city was built after the first war between Japan and China, the Battle of the Baicun River, due to the fear that the Tang army would attack Japan.

Although it did not wait for the attack of the Tang army, it was later used on the Mongols.

During the First Yuan-Japanese War, nearly 100,000 Japanese troops in Kyushu were also defeated by 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, and it was all up to this city to wait for the Yuan army to withdraw.

Unexpectedly, a similar scene was staged again a hundred years later, but I don't know if this time, do they still have the same luck as their ancestors?

"The strength of the Ming army has far surpassed that of the Yuan army back then, right?" Nijo Kyolai sighed.

"Of course, the Yuan army attacked the Protector Shenyuan for a whole month, and it was still powerless." Prince Huailiang said gloomily: "The same protector god wall is like paper paste in front of the Ming army. ”

"No wonder the Ming army was able to wipe out the Yuan Dynasty." Nijo Sect Lai was convinced: "Your Highness, you have provoked an enemy who should not be provoked. ”

"How did I know this would happen?!" Prince Huailiang said incompetently and angrily: "That Hu Weiyong's envoy swore that the two fiascos of the Yuan Dynasty made the Ming army afraid to fight across the sea, even if the emperor was angry again, his ministers would persuade him, and there would definitely be no Ming army attacking us!" ”

"It stands to reason that it is." Nijo Kyori also agreed. After all, Huailiang had killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty before, didn't he apologize and call himself a minister?

Therefore, the Southern Dynasty unanimously agreed that this time it would not be retaliated against by the Ming army. Only then will the local tyrants of Kyushu send samurai to carry out the adventures of Prince Huailiang.

Even if the assassination failed, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to give an ultimatum, but they still did not believe that the Ming army would really fight.

And even if they fight, they are not afraid, after all, the Yuan army has lost twice, and the Ming army will definitely be no exception.

In addition to being tenacious and gambling, the characteristics of the Japanese are that they believe too much in successful experience.

I thought it was like this in the past, and it should be like this now, but I always didn't realize that the world would change.

The result is the current situation......

The most awesome thing is that even now, they don't think that their judgment is wrong, but that it is the arrangement of fate.

Nijo Kyolai sighed: "Everything can be one or two, not three, maybe this time the gods did not bless us again." ”

"Don't be so pessimistic! We still have hope of a comeback. "Prince Huailiang is not as negative as Nijo Kyori, and Nijo Kyolai does not have negative qualifications.

Defeated by the Ming army, Nijo Kyolai resigned from Guan Bai at most, and he could go home to become his name. Huailiang was to be escorted to the Ming Dynasty to be punished by the Ming Emperor.

Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, he has to fight. What's more, in his opinion, the hope of a comeback is not small......

"Your Highness is talking about our navy, right?" Nijo Kyori understood what he meant.

"Yes." Huailiang nodded and said: "Kyushu is already famous for the navy, before the war, I ordered more than 2,000 warships of the Goto Navy, Hirado Navy, Ouchi Navy, and Shimazu Navy to sail to the waters of Iki Island to hide, the purpose is to take advantage of the inconvenience of the warships to dock after the Ming army landed, and launched a surprise attack on them!" ”

"The Ming army came across the sea, once the naval army was wiped out, the army on land was bound to collapse, we have already fortified the wall, as long as we hold on for a period of time, they will inevitably be defeated without a fight, and they can only surrender when the time comes." Prince Huailiang raised his voice, waved his hands to the second kyolai, and also cheered himself up:

"Even if we can't eliminate their water army, as long as we continue to harass them and make them uneasy day and night, it will greatly affect their morale, disrupt their arrangements, and make them unable to attack Shuicheng with all their strength, and when they run out of food and grass, they will naturally withdraw their troops!"

"Your Highness has a point." Nijo Kyoyori nodded, this was what they had planned. It's just that the original plan was to attack both land and water and trap the Ming army in Hakata Bay.

As a result, on the second day of the war, Hakata Bay was lost. The entire Dazaifu region is protected only by the only barrier of Mizuijo.

'At least this sturdy city shouldn't be afraid of bombardment...... ' Nijo Kyoyori secretly recognised.

This also gave them the courage to hold on, but if they want to turn the tables, they can only count on the Kyushu Navy in the vast sea.

"Let's go, go and visit the three of them." Prince Huailiang heard countless curses from under the castle and knew that the defeated army of Kyushu had finally entered the city. "Although they did not fight well and lost the god wall of the protector of the country, they should have their stomachs, but the country is just the time to employ people, and this king has decided to forgive them this time."

"Your Highness is really a bodhisattva." What else can Nijo Kyolai say, in fact, he thinks that the one who should cut his stomach the most is Huailiang.

~~

On the other side, when Hu Quan led the army back to the camp, Wang Bi was on the 'Protector God Wall', discussing with Hu Bo, and using the stone wall to expand the camp to the entire Hakata Port.

"Install the arrow tower and the camp gate in the middle gap, and then tear down the city walls on the north and south sides for one or two miles, and use the removed stones to build them on the seaside, and a perfect water city will be built." Wang Bi said in the twilight:

"If the Mongols knew that the stone walls they couldn't knock down in a month would be knocked down by us in a day and then used as a camp, I don't know how they would feel."

"That must be very sour." Hu Bo smiled from ear to ear. His brothers had a great time today, Wang Bi was really interesting, and he gave his brothers all the tasks of being in the limelight.

So he reciprocated Li Dao: "This is all the credit of Hou Ye's proper command!" ”

"Hey, it's all your credit to Wu Changbo." Wang Bi hurriedly gave way. Usually he is not so polite, who is the score.
