Yongren saw that his soldiers and horses were defeated like a mountain, and the remnants of the defeated army were surging towards this side like a tide, and his face was pale. Looking at the sky, the sun had not yet set. In less than a day, in less than a day, the coastal position guarded by fifteen thousand samurai and ashigaru guards was actually broken through by the Ming army! Yongren's heart couldn't help but rise with an unprecedented feeling of fear. But then the fear was replaced by hysterical madness!

The defeated samurai and ashigaru retreated into the castle one after another, and the various generals and high-ranking samurai actively arranged defenses according to Yuhito's orders. Rolling stones, wood, and fire oil were transported to the city walls, and all the young men in the city were forcibly organized. These improvised fighting forces, dressed in rags, with a look of fear on their faces, standing trembling in the wind, and holding weapons in their hands turned out to be hoes and clubs!

Yong Ren stood at the highest point of the palace and looked out at the seaside. After the Ming army defeated the defense of the Japanese army on the seaside, they camped on the spot for defense, built a simple wharf, and a large army and a large number of material resources continued to come ashore. Yong Ren frowned.

Several staff members came behind Yongren, and the old man among them bowed and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Yong Ren turned around, and when he saw that all the staff members had a look of uneasiness on their faces, he couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart, and raised his voice to ask, "Are you afraid?" ”

The staff looked at each other, but they didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. The old staff member stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, the current situation can be said to be very tense, the Ming army will attack the city soon, it is too unsafe for Your Highness to stay here, you should evacuate this place as soon as possible!" The other aides echoed him, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the future and destiny of the Yamato nation and should not stay in this dangerous place.

Yong Ren said categorically: "I, the prince of the Yamato nation, must be with the soldiers on the front line!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be in awe, and then they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Yong Ren glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "As a descendant of the Yamato nation, how can you be so cowardly!" How can this be worthy of our heroic ancestors, how can it be worthy of the blood of Amaterasu Okami flowing in our bodies! Everyone was ashamed of themselves, and an impulse came to their hearts, and they all excitedly said that they wanted to live and die with Kumamoto Castle. Yong Ren nodded in satisfaction.

The high-ranking samurai Ono Chi rushed over and said excitedly: "Your Highness, the 100,000 troops from Honshu have landed in the eastern part of the country. "Kunisaki is a small town on the eastern coast of the Kunisaki Peninsula in the northeastern part of Kyushu Island. When Yongren and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look happy. Yong Ren said excitedly; "Great, with this 100,000 army, this battle will be won!" When all the staff members heard Yongren's words, they couldn't help but feel full of confidence.

Ono continued, "In addition, there is news from Saeki that the soldiers and horses of Shikoku have also been assembled and are preparing to cross the sea. "Saeki is the easternmost port city on the island of Kyushu, and it is also one of the largest cities on the island of Kyushu after Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto. Yong Ren laughed, looked at the staff, and said with a smile: "In such a situation, it is impossible for us to be defeated!" Then he said to Ohno Zhi: "Immediately send someone to urge the reinforcements to come as quickly as possible!" I want to tell them that this battle is related to the rise and fall of our Yamato nation, and no one can slack off in the slightest! ”

Ohno sighed and ran down. Yong Ren turned to look at the seaside in the distance, his eyes shining with excitement.

After landing on the eastern shore of the Ariake Sea, the Ming army built a fortification on the spot, but did not attack Kumamoto Castle. Seeing this scene, the Japanese soldiers in Kumamoto Castle wished that the Ming army would never come to attack. Yongren, on the other hand, was nervously watching the movements of the Ming army, while anxiously waiting for news of reinforcements. He estimated that the Ming army might still be waiting for reinforcements from the rear, and only hoped that before the arrival of its own reinforcements, the Ming army would always wait like this. However, Yonghito was not a memediocre man who would only wait for the rabbit, and after speculating that the enemy army might be waiting for backup, he immediately ordered the naval forces that were still rebuilding in the country to attack and go to the vicinity of the Koshijima archipelago to intercept the enemy's backup.

After receiving the order, Shigehiro Shimazu, the commander of the Japanese naval army, immediately left the port with all the warships and rushed towards the Koshijima archipelago at full speed. The families of the Japanese soldiers stood in the harbor and watched the ships leave, praying to their god Amaterasu. At the same time, Fujiwara Shimitsu and Fujiwara Narikin, who remained in Kyoto, were busy mobilizing troops and horses from all walks of life to gather on Kyushu Island, and at the same time requisitioning grain and grass from various places.

Ohno Zhi ran to Yongren's room and said urgently: "The Han people are heading towards the city!" Yong Ren was so startled that he didn't care about wearing clogs, so he ran out of the room and ran to the highest part of the palace. Looking out of the city, I saw that tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty were heading towards this side, with soldiers and horses like a tide, flags like clouds, and I couldn't help but change my complexion. Sirens and shouts rang out in the castle, and groups of samurai and ashishiki rushed up to the castle, ready for battle.

I saw that the Ming army drove all the way to the outside of the city, but did not immediately attack the city, but divided a part of the troops, but went to the north, south, and east sides, and actually surrounded Kumamoto Castle.

Seeing that the forces of the Ming army were scattered, Taro Ryumoto thought that the opportunity had come, and immediately ran to Yongren to ask for battle: "Your Highness, please let me lead all the troops to attack and defeat the enemy's own team!" ”

Yong Ren frowned, and a staff member next to him said urgently: "No, no! The Ming army is strong, and there is no possibility of victory for our army in the field! ”

When Taro Taro Ryumoto heard this, he was greatly displeased, and said, "The enemy's main team is only 5,000 men, and we have more than 20,000 samurai and ashigaru in our castle, and four times the strength is enough to destroy the enemy's main team!" ”

The staff member shook his head and said, "Long Benjun should know better than me about the horror of the enemy!" I think that our army guarding the coastal position at the beginning had 15,000 men, and the enemy's attacking force was only 2,000 men, and our army could not resist it! That's seven or eight times the strength of the troops, it is still in a state of defense, and it is still so, if it is a field front, how can four times the strength of the army defeat the Ming army! Taro Ryumoto glared at him and roared angrily, "You are blazing for the Han people!" It's just ill-intentioned! The staff member was greatly annoyed, and said to Yongren: "Your Highness, what I said is the truth, please make a clear judgment to Your Highness!" ”

Yongren said: "How can our Yamato warriors be four times as strong as the enemy!" The staff was shocked, but Taro Tarumoto was delighted.

Yong Ren continued: "However, such an initiative is not in line with our original plan, and now Haikou has not been recaptured, if we rashly counterattack, once the enemy is defeated, he will inevitably flee through Haikou, and the result of this battle will not be perfect!" ”

The staff and Taro Taro Ryumoto frowned, Taro Taro Ryumoto was eager for revenge and didn't want to waste any more time, while the staff was surprised that His Highness would think like this.

At this moment, Ono Chi rushed over and reported: "Your Highness, General Nario Samurao has led his troops to Oyano Island, and the army led by General Nobuo Uesugi has also entered the Nagasaki Peninsula. Everyone's eyes lit up, and Taro Taro Tarumoto said excitedly;" Great, the two adults will be able to quickly recapture the mouth of the Great Arrow Sea! Yuhito quickly calculated in his heart, feeling that the key to this battle was whether Nario Samura and Nobuo Uesugi could quickly recapture the mouth of the Great Arrow Sea. In this regard, Yongren has absolute confidence, he feels that Nario Zuomuro and Nobuo Uesugi both have extremely large armies, and the Ming army has only deployed a thousand defenders on each side of the Oya Sea, and his own strength is hundreds of times that of the other party, and there is absolutely no suspense in the battle. The only thing to note is that until then, Kumamoto Castle must be defended to the death. At this thought, Yonghito successively issued several orders to guard against death, and ordered the flag representing the emperor to be hung on the highest part of the palace. He wants to make this banner visible to all the soldiers and civilians defending the city, and inspire them to fight to the death! Immediately, Yonghito sent messengers to Kunisaki and Saeki to urge reinforcements.

However, after the Ming army surrounded Kumamoto, it did not attack, but retreated some distance and set up camp. In this regard, the Japanese did not dare to be careless at all, nor did they feel relaxed at all, they knew that the truly tragic battle was about to begin.

Before it was light, Yong Ren was awakened by a nightmare. Unsettled, he summoned Ono and ordered him to send a messenger again to urge reinforcements.

It was dawn, and the shouts in the city were loud and loud, but it was the samurai who were rudely waking up Ashigaru and the militia who were still sleeping.

At this time, someone suddenly pointed to the outside of the city and shouted, "Someone is coming!" When people heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous. The mid-level samurai who was in charge of guarding the city gate ran to the battlement, and looked out of the city, only to see a knight of his own side galloping from a distance. The knight ran to the gate of the city, and reined in his horse, and suddenly the horse was strangled and immediately rose to his feet with a neigh. The samurai at the city gate couldn't help but be shocked when they saw his frightened and bloodstained appearance. The knight shouted urgently: "I am a messenger sent by Your Highness, there is an urgent military report to Your Highness, open the city gate quickly!" At this time, the warrior at the gate also recognized him, recognizing the messenger who had gone out from here not long ago, and immediately ordered the gate to be opened.

Soon after, the messenger appeared in front of Yongren. Yong Ren saw that the messenger he had just sent had returned, and he was still very embarrassed, and he couldn't help but look suspicious. The messenger was shocked, "Your Highness, we were ambushed on the road shortly after we left the city, and everyone else died, but I was the only one who escaped!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Yongren hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" Could it be that the road was blocked by the Ming army? The messenger nodded, "Yes, it was the Han Chinese who ambushed us!" Yongren frowned and said, "Blocking the road? If the other troops didn't know that we were under siege, it would be reasonable to block the news in case others came to the rescue. But what does it mean to block roads in such a situation? ”

Yongren couldn't think of any esoteric reason after thinking about it for a long time, so he laughed dumbly and muttered: "I think about that Yang Peng too deeply!" He must not have noticed that our reinforcements were coming, but he just wanted to cut off the connection between this side and the outside world! If Yang Peng had already learned that his large-scale follow-up troops were coming, he would not dare to attack Kumamoto, only if he didn't know about this matter, he would attack Kumamoto, and at the same time cut off Kumamoto's contact with the outside world! Yongren further thought: Yang Peng can be said to be in the middle of this, using Kumamoto to attract them here, and then a large army will surround them from the periphery, and finally the center will blossom, and the inside and outside will be combined, completely annihilating them in one fell swoop!

Yongren couldn't help but be excited when he thought that after annihilating the main force of the Ming Dynasty, it would not only be possible to capture the Ming Emperor Yang Peng, but also a large number of Ming warships. I just think that after this battle, the Yamato nation can rise!

Yong Ren retracted his thoughts, controlled his excitement and restlessness, and pondered for a moment whether he should find a way to send a messenger to inform all parties to adjust the plan slightly. In the end, he denied this plan, because the order had been issued, although it was slightly different from his current idea, but it could still form a situation of encircling the Ming army, and if the messenger was sent again in order to find faults, it would not be able to convey the message, but it would be just a matter of being afraid that the messenger would be captured by the Ming army, and the whole plan would be exposed and finally in vain. Thinking of this, Yong Ren couldn't help but frown, and dismissed the plan to send another messenger. walked to the railing, looked at the Ming military camp outside the city, and muttered: "Now it's up to Nario Zuo and Nobuo Uesugi to see, as long as they can quickly recapture Haikou, our army will win this battle!" The enemy guards are weak, and there will be no problem with their actions! ”

At the same time, the army led by Zuo Chengxiong had approached Haikou, and the 70,000 army faced the small Ming position, which was completely disproportionate, as if it could completely overwhelm the Ming position with just one wave of attacks!

Zuo Chengxiong immediately under the handsome banner, looked up at the Ming position above, and did not take the 1,000 Ming army seriously in his heart, although the Ming army was strong, but a thousand men and horses could not resist the attack of the 70,000 army, this is 70 times the strength!

Zuo Muru didn't want to waste time and raised his right hand. The 70,000 Japanese soldiers shouted in unison, and the cry was like a tide, echoing between heaven and earth, and the sound of the surging waves, which shook people's hearts.

Nario Zuo waved his right hand forward, and the horns and war drums unique to the Japanese people sounded loudly, and the senior samurai Yamamoto Rulong led five hundred Japanese samurai and three thousand ashigaru shouts to charge towards the Ming position on the mountain, all over the mountain, like countless wild beasts rushing towards the mountain. The samurai and ashigaru of the Wa people have always been unaccustomed to using shields, but after several confrontations with the Ming army, they deeply realized the power of the Ming army's sharp arrows, so this time the samurai and ashigaru of the Wa people used a shield made of bamboo that can be found everywhere in the Wa country!

The Japanese ran halfway up the mountain, still not attacked by the Ming army, but the Japanese had slowed down, raised their shields, and looked ahead with a wary expression. I saw that there was no one on the Daming position in front of me, only Yan Yun's battle flag fluttering in the wind. If the Japanese were not facing the terrible Ming army, they would definitely think that the enemy army had fled, but in the face of the Ming army, the Japanese samurai and ashigaru did not think that they would escape, and subconsciously felt that they were hiding in that position, waiting to ambush themselves.

At this moment, a huge cloud of fireworks suddenly rose from the crowd of Japanese people, and at the same time, a violent explosion shook the entire hillside! The Japanese soldiers were startled, and before they could react, they saw fireworks on the hillside, and fragments of stumps flying all over the sky in the fireworks, and the attacking Japanese samurai and ashigaru seemed to be completely overwhelmed by the fireworks, and the huge explosion sounded into one, and the whole earth trembled violently! The Japanese soldiers who were watching the battle in the rear were stunned when they saw such a scene!

Immediately, I saw my own samurai and ashigaru rolling and crawling, and retreated in a panic. Zuo Muru Chengxiong was greatly annoyed and shouted: "Don't retreat!" Those who retreat will correct the Dharma on the spot! The defeated samurai and ashigaru were heartbroken, and they stopped before the army. Zuo Chengxiong raised his voice and said: "That is the gunpowder laid by the enemy in advance, it can only be used once, continue to rush!" The high-ranking samurai Yamamoto Rulong who led the army felt a little ashamed, and immediately yelled at his subordinates: "Everyone follow me and continue to charge!" Kill the Han Chinese and take the position! The samurai and ashigaru regained their fighting spirit and rushed towards the mountain again with a shout.

When the Japanese people passed by the place that had been smashed by the violent explosion just now, they couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats. However, nothing happened, and sure enough, as Zuo Chengxiong said, the gunpowder mines planted in advance by the Han people could only be used once. The Japanese attack troops couldn't help but boost their morale, and they howled and accelerated towards the Ming position. The position of the Ming Dynasty is getting closer and closer, and it is already possible to clearly see the rejection of horses in front of the trenches and the camp behind the trenches. The blood of the Japanese soldiers and beasts is boiling, and they want to rush into the Han people to kill and slaughter! The roar rang out like a myriad of wild beasts howling!

At this moment, the Ming soldiers, who had been missing, suddenly stood up from the trenches and launched a strong rain of arrows at the rushing Japanese soldiers. The rain of arrows roared towards the Japanese people, only to hear a violent crackling sound, the Japanese people were shot down a lot, the bamboo shield in their hands could not resist the powerful power of the improved divine arm bow, the bamboo shield was like a layer of paper was easily penetrated, and the armor on the samurai could not protect at all, many were shot by the arrows, and the whole person flew backwards and fell to the ground. However, although the Japanese soldiers were met head-on, the momentum of the charge became stronger, and the blood of their companions made them even more crazy!

A shout sounded on the Ming position, and I saw hundreds of Ming soldiers crossing out of the trenches and forming an arrow formation to rush towards the Japanese people. The roars of both sides are together, full of iron and blood, which makes people's blood boil!

The soldiers on both sides slammed into each other! The samurai and ashigaru screamed desperately wielding their blades to attack the Ming soldiers, the katana spear kept hitting the body of the Ming soldiers, making a sonorous sound, sparks splashing, who said that the katana was indestructible, the katana slashed on the heavy armor of the Ming army, and they were bounced away, which was not of much use at all; The roar of the Ming soldiers was like thunder, the momentum was like a tiger, the big sword and tomahawk tore through the air, and slashed at the body of the Japanese warrior, the armor was shattered, the blood and water were surging, and the body of the ashigaru was slashed, and it was even more torn apart, and the scene was unbearable! The Ming soldiers are invincible and invincible, stepping on the corpses and blood of the enemy! The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the fear could not help but come to their hearts, and finally they couldn't hold on, and they shouted and turned around and ran down. The Ming army chased and killed a section and then withdrew.

Zuo Muru Chengxiong looked at such a scene, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he felt that the combat effectiveness of the Ming Army seemed to be stronger than it was at the beginning! The armor and katana on their bodies were more sophisticated, and the armor katana they had on them was of no use to them, and the weapons were sharper, and the Mo knives that had been used before were gone, replaced by a long-handled horse-chopping knife and a long-handled double-edged battle axe, which were wielded with great power and invincibility, and the armor of the samurai was like papier-mâché in front of them, and they were vulnerable; And their ferocity, but also more than before, if the two sides were at war, the Ming army was just a wolf, then at this time the Ming army is clearly a tiger, the tiger is mighty, terrifying.

Yamamoto Rulong led the remnants of the defeated army and retreated, and his heart was terrified. Immediately, a feeling of humiliation came to his heart, and he said to Zuo Muro: "General, please give me some support, I will continue to attack!" ”

Zuo Muro Naruo thought for a while, and said to Yamamoto Rulong: "I will give you support five hundred samurai, five thousand ashiba, you must destroy the enemy army and capture the position!" ”

Yamamoto Rulong snorted and yelled at his soldiers: "Yamato warriors, follow me!" Then he rushed towards the position of the Ming army. The samurai Ashigaru under Yamamoto Ruryu and the samurai and ashigaru who were supported by Nario Zuo rushed towards the Daming position on the mountain, roaring and violent, with a desperate posture.

Before the army rushed to the Ming trenches, hundreds of Ming soldiers jumped out of the trenches to attack the Japanese army as they had just now. This time, however, the Japanese army was already prepared. Although hundreds of Ming troops were fierce and abnormal, killing the Japanese army, they were also caught in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and it was difficult to extricate themselves! The Ming warriors wielded war knives and axes to slaughter the Japanese people, like a tiger tearing a jackal, while the Japanese people besieged it like crazy one after another, and the battle was extremely tragic and shocking, as if the Ming soldiers who did not look at the victory also began to have casualties!

Suddenly, the sound of a rapid golden bell sounded in the camp. The Ming warriors who were fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese immediately turned around and fought through the encirclement from the seemingly endless enemy army and returned to their positions. Seeing that the Ming army was repulsed, the morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted, and they shouted and chased after them. At this time, the excited Japanese soldiers did not realize that the retreat of the Ming army was not a swarm retreat towards the position, but divided into several long snakes and rushed towards the position.

Suddenly, the Japanese who were chasing the Ming army only felt that the ground under their feet suddenly collapsed, and at the same time, there was a loud rumbling sound in their ears. On the ground in front of the Ming position, without warning, countless huge pits collapsed in an instant. The unprepared Japanese soldiers fell into the pit one after another, and were skewered into meat skewers by the huge bamboo stick spears buried in the pit!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
