Chapter 930, Before the Great War
Yang Peng smiled: "You guy is getting bigger and bigger!" More than 200,000 loads of grain and grass can meet the needs of more than 200,000 troops for a month, which is nothing in your eyes. Xiang Danian smiled and picked his head.
Immediately, Xiang Danian looked at Liu Zhiliang and sighed: "Zhiliang is really not simple, he can get such accurate information!" ”
Liu Zhiliang smiled: "This is not my credit, this is Hua Xu's credit." Then he said to Yang Peng: "Your Majesty, after this time, you should be sure that there is no problem in front of Yuzao, right?" "Tamamo front? Isn't he the demon queen of the Wa Kingdom? Wasn't she captured by us? Does this matter have anything to do with her? Xiang Danian asked in surprise.
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Yuzao has already submitted to us more than two years ago, and I have also given her the title of Lady of the East China Sea. ”
Liu Zhiliang continued: "This Yuzao used to have a lot of influence within the Wa Kingdom, and now many of the daimyo and ministers of the Wa Kingdom are actually inextricably linked to her. Therefore, this time we attacked the Wa Kingdom, and the eldest brother sent her back to the Wa Kingdom as our internal response. ”
Xiang Danian suddenly realized and said: "I said how did we get such secret information, it turns out that there is such an inside line!" Haha, in this way, this time the battle of the Crusade is even less interesting! Originally, we had the chance to win, but now with such a big inside line to help, the Japanese slave Mishima is not at our fingertips! ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that the widow is far more powerful than the rabbit!" Lao Qin, you have to change your big and transformed character, in the battle of the Northern Expedition to Liao, didn't you suffer enough losses? ”
Xiang Danian picked his head and said helplessly: "I also want to change it, but I just can't change it!" ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "After this battle is over, I have to throw you to the military academy to study hard for a while!" Xiang Danian's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Big brother spare your life!" "Fuck your shit! This matter is not negotiable! Xiang Danian was very depressed.
Yang Peng pondered: "This one thing alone can't be completely sure whether there is no problem in front of Yuzao, let's take a look." "Yes."
Kyoto. Tamamo came to Yongren's palace secretly. As soon as Yonghito saw Tamamo, he smiled and said, "The enemy attacked Shimomatsu according to the information sent by Aihime, and captured more than 200,000 loads of grain and grass, and I believe that now they have completely believed in Aihime." ”
Yuzao frowned and shook his head, saying; "It's okay for others to say, but it's not easy to hide from Yang Peng. Yang Peng is not only more fierce than a tiger wolf, but also more cunning than a fox! I guess he's still skeptical of me, so he can't actually lure the enemy into a plan to go deeper yet, and he has to throw a few baits. ”
Yong Ren nodded and smiled, "If Ai Ji has any ideas, I will listen to you all!" Tamamo whispered in Yongren's ear. Yong Ren said with some excitement: "This plan is really bold enough!" He glanced at Tamamo, "But in this way, the enemy will definitely trust Aihime completely." We had no problem with our final plan. It's just, it's just ......" Yong Ren looked a little worried again.
Tamamo knew what Yong Ren was worried about, and encouraged, "Your Highness, no victory can be easily obtained, and the greater the victory, the greater the risk!" What's more, we are facing an opponent like Daming! But as long as we win, the Ming army will not dare to invade us for at least twenty years! The risk we took was worth it! ”
Yong Ren couldn't help but nodded, and then said categorically; "Good! Just listen to the concubine! This time, I will fight against Daming to see who will kill the deer! ”
Yuzao said with great admiration: "Your Highness is really a hero!" Yong Ren heard no one praise him, he only felt pride, and couldn't help laughing.
Naokata, the most important port city in the north of Kyushu Island, is across the sea from Shimonokan on Honshu Island. Now Yang Peng's temporary camp is located in Zhifang. The aforementioned bridge is located to the east of the Histogata in the direction of the Seto Inland Sea, while the largest port city in the north is to the southwest of the Histogata in the direction of the Tsushima Strait. Now the first and second armies of the Ming army, the main fleet of the naval army and the 100,000 military army are gathered in and around the Zhifang, and it is obvious that this direction will be the main direction of attack of the Ming army. The 3rd Army and another 100,000 military troops were deployed on the line from Beppu to Saeki, facing the island of Shikoku, which was the secondary direction of attack. The local military army and militia on Kyushu Island are responsible for transporting grain and grass. The entire island of Kyushu is a bustling scene.
Yang Peng stood on the railing, looking at the sea not far away, at this time the sun was shining, the sea surface was sparkling, and the chirping of seagulls came, only to see a white figure crossing between the sea and the sky.
Wang Rong, who was dressed in military uniform, led the sea dragon to Yang Peng's back and said, "Your Majesty, the sea dragon is here." ”
Yang Peng retracted his gaze and turned around. The waves immediately bowed; "Sea Dragon, meet Your Majesty!"
"Well, what's the news?"
Hailong immediately presented a report to Yang Peng and said, "I just received the secret report in front of Yuzao. ”
Yang Peng took the report, read it, and nodded with a smile.
Wang Rong couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I don't think this woman can be trusted!" ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Wang Rong said angrily: "This woman is demonic, and she is a widow, I'm afraid that I won't be well-intentioned, it's better for the eldest brother to be careful!" ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "The demonic spirit, and the identity of the widow, it doesn't seem to be enough to show that she has bad intentions, right?" ”
Wang Rong said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are now a lust fan!" That woman must not be at ease, and it will be too late for you to regret it! ”
Yang Peng smiled: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Wang Rong snorted and tilted her head in annoyance.
Yang Peng said to Hailong: "You can go down." The sea dragon answered and ran down.
Yang Peng walked up to Wang Rong, picked up the report and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to read the report sent by this demonic woman?" ”
Wang Rong turned her head and glared at Yang Peng, took the report from Yang Peng's hand and looked at it. Surprised: "She, how would she do this?" ”
Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Now you should believe her, right?" ”
Wang Rong said angrily: "Maybe it's a trap." ”
Yang Peng smiled: "I'm not a stupid person, so naturally I have to take some precautions." Wang Rong smiled: "That's right!" I thought you were really obsessed! ”
Yang Peng asked depressedly, "What makes you think that I will be fascinated by Yuzaoqian?" ”
Wang Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "Did I still wronged you!" Which people don't know, Your Majesty our Emperor, as long as you see a beautiful woman, you must get it! What's more, the demon girl is so charming, isn't it just with your appetite? ”
Yang Peng looked at Wang Rong and said in surprise: "What a big grievance!" Then he sighed and said, "Alas! I do listen to sometimes! Wang Rong's eyes moved, and tears trembled in her eyes.
Yang Peng held Wang Rong's palm and said, "You better go back to the palace with me, and I can take care of you nearby!" ”
Wang Rong couldn't help but lean into Yang Peng's chest, shook her head and said, "No! I want my child to grow up outside, so it's better for him. ”
Yang Peng was depressed, picked up Wang Rong's fragrant shoulders and said angrily: "It's better for him, but it's too bad for me!" It's going to take a lot of effort for me to meet you! ”
Wang Rong looked at Yang Peng affectionately and said movingly: "If you can think like this, I will be satisfied!" Then he said firmly: "I will never let my child enter the palace!" Yang Peng was helpless. Wang Rong pleaded: "In this matter, Your Majesty, will you respect me?" Yang Peng was helpless, sighed, nodded, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are too strong!" ”
Wang Rong smiled slightly, "I still have a request." ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "Say it." Don't listen to men, but have a lot of requirements for men! ”
Wang Rong leaned into Yang Peng's arms and said softly: "When this battle is over, I hope you can accompany me home, and our family of three will live for a while." All right? Where could Yang Peng refuse such a request, he couldn't help but nodded, "Okay, I promise you." Wang Rong was overjoyed, her hands passed under Yang Peng's ribs and hugged Yang Peng tightly.
Soon after, Yang Peng summoned the main generals of the First Army, the Second Army, the Navy and the Military Army, and said, "The opportunity to attack has come. According to the information just received, in ten days, a fleet of ships carrying grain, grass and ordnance will arrive at Shimonoseki from the north along the coast to supply the Japanese army in Shimonoseki. My plan was to ambush the elite of the navy near Horn Island. As soon as the convoy arrives, it will immediately attack and make sure to destroy the enemy. Then this elite naval army disguised itself as a transport fleet of our army and continued to Xiaguan. ”
Yang Peng looked at Xiang Danian and said, "The main officers and soldiers of the First Army have seized the main force of Xiaguan. You board the convoy and lurk in the reef off the coast of Xiaguan first. Once the elite of the navy enters the lower pass of the water gate, they will immediately seize the water gate. After success, the trolls will send a signal. As soon as Xiang Danian saw the signal, he immediately led his troops to rush forward, broke through the water gate, and then landed on the shore to attack the enemy. I reckon you'll be met with stubborn resistance at this point. At the same time, the main forces of the Second Army Corps and the Junfu Army forcibly crossed the strait under the escort of the main force of the naval army, landed from the east, and stormed Xiaguan from the land. He raised his head and glanced at the generals, and said, "If everything goes well, I hope it won't be long before I can win the next pass!" Do you have any questions? ”
The generals shouted in unison: "No! ”
Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "If there is no problem, let's go down and prepare!" The generals hugged their fists at Yang Peng and went excitedly.
Standing on the wall of Shimonosekichi, Samuro looked out at the rolling hills across the strait, his brows furrowed tightly.
Musashi, the general of his cronies, couldn't help but say, "My lord, why did Your Highness give such an order? Now that the Ming army is about to attack, if the main force is transferred to the mountain pass, what will happen to this pass? If the lower pass is lost and the enemy army lands on the state, the consequences will be serious! ”
Samuro Nario frowned and said, "How could I not know such consequences!" When His Highness received the order, I immediately wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to His Highness, asking His Highness to take back his order! However, His Highness said that he wanted to lure the king into the urn and deliberately let the enemy up, so as to set up an ambush near the mountain pass to ambush the enemy army, in order to succeed in one fell swoop! ”
Musashio said in surprise: "That's what His Highness said? ”
Nario Samuro nodded.
Musashi Yu frowned and said, "This strategy can't be said to be bad, it's just too risky!" He looked up at Nario Samuro and said worriedly, "What if the enemy doesn't hit the plan?" That Emperor Ming is not a stupid person, but more cunning than a fox, I am afraid that this strategy of His Royal Highness will not be able to hide from him! ”
Samuro immediately turned his head, glared and shouted, "How can you comment on Your Highness like that!" Musashi Xiong realized that he had broken his promise, and quickly lowered his head and blamed himself: "I lost my word, please forgive me!" ”
Samuro turned his head to look at the sea and the rolling mountains in the distance, and muttered: "Your Highness is very sure, I think Your Highness should have some arrangement that we don't know about must be able to fool that Chen Xiao!" Alas, let's not think about it too much, believe in Your Highness! Musashio snorted.
Nario Samuro asked, "Are all the armies in place?" ”
"It has been deployed in accordance with the orders of your Excellency and Your Highness."
Nario Samuro nodded, looking into the distance with a thoughtful look on his face.
Xiao Tianci led the elite of 5,000 sailors to set off quietly and arrived near Jiaodao to ambush. A day later, the convoy of the Japanese people appeared, and more than 100 large sea ships were connected to each other like a giant dragon swimming on the sea. Xiao Tianci immediately ordered the navy to attack. 1,000 sailors intercepted the enemy's rear road, 1,000 sailors stood in front of the enemy, and the other 3,000 sailors divided into three routes and went straight into the enemy's fleet. All of a sudden, the sound of killing shook the sky, the shouts moved the sea, and the Ming army was brave and unstoppable; The unprepared Japanese army hurriedly resisted, but where could they resist, the transport ship was either bombarded by the cannons, or was knocked over in the sea by the rushing Ming warship. Many Daming ballista warships, in the capital of the ship equipped with a door for the impact of the steel ramming angle, close combat will rush to the enemy ship at high speed, the warships of this era are made of wood, where can withstand the impact of the steel collusion angle, often in the violent impact of the big hole, the sea water rushed in, and even more was rushed to the Ming warship pretended to be two!
There was a Japanese transport ship that tried to escape, but the transport ship was heavy and difficult to turn, so it could not escape at all, and the Japanese transport ship that intended to escape was bombarded into the sea by the roaring cannonballs before it could escape far!
……
A naval battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended, and the Japanese convoy was completely annihilated, half of which were destroyed and the other half captured. Xiao Tianci was afraid that the captives were in the way, and he was also worried that when the raid on Xiaguan Shuimen would happen, these captives would be in trouble, so he ordered all the living Japanese people to be beheaded and their bodies pushed into the sea. The sea near Horn Island was dyed blood-red, and soon after, countless sea sharks gathered to feed on the countless corpses floating in the sea, and the sound of the water was loud. The scene is extremely tragic, but it is a gluttonous feast for sea sharks!
After Xiao Tianci disposed of the prisoners, he immediately led most of the elite sailors to hide in the transport ships according to the plan, and at the same time ordered some of the sailors to wear the armor of the Japanese people and drive the ships outside the warehouse.
After nightfall, the fleet came to the water gate of Shimonoseki. Xiao Tianci ordered the officers who knew the Japanese language to go and call the door. The officer answered the promise, and immediately walked to the deck and shouted in a Japanese voice: "Our Highness has ordered us to escort grain and grass to the baggage, and open the city gate quickly!" ”
The defender at the head of the castle was Musashi, and when he heard the other party's shout, he said to a samurai beside him, "Open the water gate." The samurai replied, and immediately ordered the people to raise the water gate. All the ashigaru turned the winch together, and saw the water gate slowly rise with the sound of rattling.
Xiao Tianci saw the water gate rising, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and immediately led the fleet into the city. As soon as they entered the city, the elite of the Ming Dynasty who were hiding in the ship suddenly rushed ashore with a shout and attacked the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers were defenseless, and were suddenly killed by the Ming elite, only to feel panicked and overwhelmed, and the Japanese army near the water gate was immediately in chaos, running and running, fleeing, bravely staying to try to resist the Ming army, but was instantly cut to the ground by the big axe!
The samurai standing on the water gate couldn't help but panic when he saw the elbows and armpits, and said to Musashi in a hurry: "My lord, the enemy, the enemy ......" Musashi Xiong said lightly: "Immediately order all the troops to withdraw from Shimonoseki and retreat to the mountain pass." The samurai was amazed, and then said angrily, "How can we escape!" Musashi shouted angrily: "Carry out the order!" Your Excellency and His Highness have a plan to deal with Da Ming! The samurai was shocked, answered, and hurried down to give the order.
The elite of the navy led by Xiao Tianci successfully broke into the water gate, killing the soldiers of the Japanese army crying and calling their mothers to flee in all directions, and immediately ordered his officers to send a signal rocket.
The First Legion of the Ming Dynasty, which was lurking on the reef, saw the signal and immediately rushed out of the reef and rushed straight towards the water gate. At the same time, the main forces of the Second Army Corps, the Military Government Army, and the Naval Army were outflanked from the east to the east of the Guan.
When the First Legion rushed into the Water Gate, the Japanese army in the city was in the process of fleeing, and the First Legion hurriedly joined the pursuit of the enemy, but did not fight a few battles at all, and the enemy had almost fled.
On the other hand, the main force of the Ming Dynasty, although it encountered the resistance of the enemy's navy, but the enemy's navy quickly retreated, perhaps because he knew that he was invincible. Immediately, the main force of the Ming Dynasty landed in the east of Shimonoseki.
Musashi led his soldiers and horses to retreat to the vicinity of the mountain pass, met Samuro Nario, and reported: "My lord, I have already exited Shimonoseki according to your lord's order!" ”
Nario Samuro nodded and asked, "Is the enemy chasing you?" ”
Musashi laughed sarcastically, "They thought we were overwhelmed, so as soon as we got ashore, they hurried east!" Their forward is probably less than thirty miles away! ”
Samuro Nario smiled slightly and said, "It seems that His Highness's plan has been half successful!" As soon as their main force entered this area, the ambushed armies attacked together and annihilated them! Then he said to Musashi: "There is another important task for Musashi-kun!" Then he pointed to a castle in the distance on his left hand and said, "Musashi-kun brought some old, weak, sick and disabled people into the mountain pass. When the enemy comes, do not resist, but flee out of the city at once. ”
Musashi exclaimed, "In this case, wouldn't Yamaguchi let the enemy take it?" ”
Samuro said, "You must let go of the enemy's forward, otherwise it will be difficult for the enemy's main force to fall into the trap." Such a price is inevitable for the sake of victory! Musashio understood, and sighed. Then he ran down and led thousands of old and weak soldiers into the mountain pass.
On the other hand, Samuro Nario ordered the armies lying in ambush not to act without orders, and those who violated them were immediately killed.
The sun was slowly rising, and it was already noon. The rumbling sound in front rolled in, and after a while, I saw more than 10,000 Da Ming horses rushing in, and the army was like a tide. Nario Samuro knew that this was only the enemy's vanguard, and strictly ordered all armies not to move. None of the Japanese soldiers held their breath and watched the Ming striker whistling past them. Immediately, there was a commotion in the castle of Yamaguchi, and Musashio led his old and weak soldiers to escape from the mountain pass and continue to flee to the east. In the blink of an eye, the Ming strikers had poured into Yamaguchi City.
Nario Samuro turned his head to look to the west, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At this moment, a scout rushed over and excitedly reported: "My lord, the main force of the enemy army is only more than twenty miles away from here!" Samuro couldn't help but get excited and ordered all armies to prepare for battle. The Japanese crossbowmen in ambush in the woods pulled arrows from their quivers, the cavalry in the valley stepped onto their horses, and the cannons placed on the top of the hill were loaded with gunpowder projectiles ready for fire. The various units of the Japanese army are already ready to go, just waiting for the Ming army to appear.
Time passed slowly as everyone waited anxiously, and the air seemed to freeze.
Kill! Yes! …… Suddenly, the sounds of fighting and screams rang out.
Samuro was taken aback, searched in all directions, and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" Where is the enemy? ”
A high-ranking samurai beside him suddenly pointed to the mountain behind him on the right and shouted, "Look, my lord! ”
Nario Samuro immediately looked in the direction of his finger. I saw that the mountain with all the artillery was surging, as if many cavalry were rushing through the crowd, while our own officers and soldiers were staggered and fleeing in all directions!
Nario Samuro exclaimed, "What's going on? ”
As if in response to his exclamation, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the foot of the hillside, and it was a Ming war horse rushing from the rear all over the mountains. Samuro Nario didn't care about what was going on, and hurriedly ordered the Chinese army under his command to turn around and fight.
The Japanese soldiers were originally facing the southwest direction, but they did not expect the enemy's cavalry troops to suddenly come behind them, and hurriedly turned around and prepared to meet them. In a hurry, the scene was chaotic.
At this moment, the Ming war cavalry slammed into the Japanese army like a rolling tide, like a surging wheat field, hitting the Japanese soldiers and soldiers staggering, unable to stabilize the front at all! Nario Samuro shouted hysterically at the top of his throat, and the Japanese soldiers mustered up the courage to fight back against the enemy; However, the Ming Dynasty war ride is like a raging wave, trampling on knives and guns with iron hooves, it is unstoppable at all, and only flesh and blood are flying in the crowd!
The Japanese troops who were lying in ambush elsewhere were shocked and overwhelmed when they saw that the enemy had not entered the encirclement, but their own Chinese army and artillery array had been attacked by the enemy's cavalry. Seeing the sudden change in the situation, the generals and senior samurai of the unified army led their soldiers and horses to rush out of the ambush circle and go to support the Chinese army.
The Chinese army saw that it was about to collapse under the continuous fierce killing of the Ming war cavalry, but fortunately, the armies rushed to join the battle and frantically counterattacked the Ming war horse. Seeing that there was nothing to do, the Ming war cavalry immediately broke away from the battle and ran towards the artillery array on the mountain. At this time, the Ming army attacking the artillery array on the mountain had already defeated the Japanese army on the mountain and occupied the artillery position.
Seeing the defeat and retreat of the Ming army, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and more than 100,000 troops chased the Ming war horses like a tide and rushed straight to the mountain.
Boom Boom Boom ......! Suddenly there was an earth-shattering thunderclap from the mountain. In the middle of the wave of Japanese troops surging towards the mountain, flesh and blood flew sideways! It turned out that the Ming soldiers who occupied the artillery array were using the cannons of the Japanese to bombard the Japanese people!
Samuro was furious and ordered the army to rush up the hill to destroy the Ming army and recapture the artillery. The officers and men of our army howled and rushed upward, only to see that the peak line of the crowd kept rising and approaching the top of the mountain!
The sound of artillery on the mountain was endless, and huge ripples were constantly stirred up in the underground crowd, but although the fierce artillery fire caused great damage to the Japanese people, it seemed that they could not stop their advance!
At this moment, the cannon on the top of the mountain suddenly stopped bombarding, and then the Ming war drums rang out. Samuro Naruo's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's not good! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
