Chapter 938, Hattori Hiroshi

Li Xu looked at the large array of the Japanese people, and said to Yang Peng: "Big brother, looking at the posture of the Japanese people, it is obvious that he has made up his mind not to take the initiative to attack!" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "If they don't take the initiative to attack, we will take the initiative to go together." The order went down, and the army advanced as a whole. ”

Li Xu promised and immediately gave the order. I only heard the drum and horn in the Ming army, and the 30,000 Ming elites approached the Japanese army as a whole, and they rushed straight to the Japanese army like a big eagle.

When the Japanese samurai Ashigaru civilian army saw the enemy army coming up, they couldn't help but get nervous, especially those civilian soldiers, who seemed to be flustered and panicked. The belly bravely shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid! We have far more troops than the enemy, and victory will be ours! When the originally flustered soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but calm down a lot.

The belly hero roared: "The crossbowmen are ready to shoot!" ”

The archers and the armed men stepped forward, while the outermost squatters and shield-bearers crouched down.

Seeing that the Ming army was approaching, it had already entered the firing range. The belly roared bravely: "Release the arrow!" More than 10,000 crossbowmen immediately released arrows together, only to hear a loud whining, and more than 10,000 arrows turned into a dark cloud and flew into the air and rushed towards the oncoming Ming army! In the blink of an eye, the rain of arrows fell into the Ming army, only to hear a loud crackling sound, and the rain of arrows fired by the Japanese people was all blocked by the shield and heavy armor, and almost failed to hurt the Ming army! In view of the past, the black military formation is still overwhelming, and the Japanese soldiers are all shocked!

The belly heroism was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to continue to release arrows. However, at this moment, a black cloud suddenly flew out of the Ming army and flew straight over! The Japanese soldiers were all shocked, and the shield bearers raised their shields one after another to resist! Seeing the dense rain of arrows slamming into the Japanese army formation, I only heard a loud noise, and the wooden shields of the Japanese were all like paper paste and were shot through by sharp arrows and knocked over the shield hand, and for a while, I saw the Japanese people being shot to the ground by the strong arrow rain!

The Japanese army was in turmoil, and the army was panicked.

At this moment, the war drums suddenly thundered in the Ming army. The Daming war horse, which was originally on the two wings, suddenly let out a shout and jumped out of the horse, turning into a surging wave and sweeping straight towards the Japanese army array.

The belly was furrowed, and he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to block it. When the crossbowman heard the order, he hurriedly released an arrow in a panic, and almost at the same time, the Ming war horse turned under the horse's belly. The rain of arrows fell, but the effect was very limited. The Ming war cavalry waited for the rain of arrows to pass, quickly turned back on the horse, raised the sword and gun and roared to kill!

Seeing that the bows and crossbows were ineffective, and the enemy warriors were killing like raging waves, the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but change their complexions, and many couldn't help but retreat! The formation of the Japanese people was already shaken, and it was even more chaotic at this time.

In the blink of an eye, the wave of iron hooves slammed into the Japanese army formation, and instantly broke through the vulnerable defense line of the Japanese people and rushed into the middle of the Japanese army formation! I saw the iron hooves rolling and trampling on the flesh and blood, the swords and guns were like snow and swaying the blood rain, and the Yanyun war horse was unstoppable, and the corpses of the Japanese people were so bloody that they fell down one after another! The abdomen bravely raised the katana to meet the forward, and the Japanese soldiers were encouraged by the commander to move forward desperately, but the horses stepped on thousands of troops, the power was unlimited, and the situation of the Japanese people was very bad!

At this moment, the infantry army led by the Ming Dynasty also pressed up and attacked the Japanese people. Kill the past with a bold sword, and step on the flesh and blood to move forward! Ten swings and ten decisions, the Japanese people finally couldn't resist, and the army collapsed! The Ming army chased and killed, and the Japanese people ambushed the corpses for dozens of miles, and fled back to Nara.

The Ming army took the opportunity to approach the city and set up camp.

The people in the city were terrified, and only the sound of weeping could be heard in the darkness of the night.

Sitting in the middle of the hall, he was very irritable.

A close warrior hurriedly rushed in, knelt down on one knee, and reported urgently: "My lord, I just received an urgent report from Osaka that Osaka has been captured by another Ming army. ”

The abdomen was taken aback, and he said angrily: "There are more than 10,000 defenders in Osaka, and the city of Osaka is also very strong, why was it suddenly breached?" The samurai couldn't answer the question and shook his head.

The belly was brave and his eyes were fixed, Huo Ran rose, and said angrily: "So far, I can only fight with the enemy!" ”

Early the next morning, the soldiers and civilians in the city were awakened by the constant sound of war drums coming in from outside the city. The soldiers and civilians hurriedly looked outside the city, only to see that in the thick fog, the banners of soldiers and horses appeared from time to time as if they were real, and they only felt that this was not a human army, and everyone was very afraid.

After a while, the fog lightened a lot, and I saw the Ming army arrayed outside the city, a black wave. Tens of thousands of horses did not have a trace of noise, and the murderous atmosphere was amazing! Before the battle was engaged, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city had already fallen to the bottom!

I saw a very young and heroic Ming warrior riding a very black dragon horse slowly out of the military formation, came to the city gate, and shouted: "I am Yang Peng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Many of the Japanese soldiers and civilians on the city wall knew Chinese, and they were naturally shocked when they heard Yang Peng's words, and immediately told everyone what Yang Peng said. When everyone heard that the young and heroic Ming general who came below was the Ming Emperor, they couldn't help but be even more frightened.

Hattori walked boldly to the wallpile and said loudly; "I'm Nara Daimyo Hattori Heroic, Emperor Ming arrived, what do you want to do?" He speaks Chinese. At that time, among the wealthy families of the Japanese Kingdom, in fact, Chinese was only one of their basic skills, so it was not surprising that Hattori Haoyong could speak Chinese.

Da Ming looked at Hattori's heroics, and saw that he was dressed in heavy armor and full of beard, which could be regarded as majestic and imposing, and smiled: "You know the current situation very well, right?" ”

Hattori was glaring, and said resolutely: "If the Ming Emperor has the ability, he will break the city and take my head, and it is absolutely impossible for me to surrender!" When the Japanese soldiers and civilians heard what the adults said were heroic and tragic, they couldn't help but boost their morale and shouted one after another.

Yang Peng said with a smile; "Hattori-sama misunderstood, I'm not here to persuade you to surrender."

Hattori was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Since Emperor Ming is not here to persuade him to surrender, what is he here for?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Giving you a chance is also to reduce unnecessary killings." If you are a true hero, come out and fight me. If you can win, I will allow you Nara Daimyo to be independent of my Daming, and I Daming will never attack you again. On the other hand, if you are defeated......"

Hattori said loudly: "If I fail, Nara and all the soldiers and civilians of Nara will belong to you, and I, Hattori, will go to Huangquan to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly.

Hattori bravely turned his head and ordered his samurai and retainers: "If I am defeated, you will surrender to the Ming Dynasty!" Everyone looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Hattori bravely ran down the city wall, stepped on the war horse, picked up his long-handled katana, rode out of the city gate, screamed, and rushed straight towards Yang Peng, with a tragic and heroic spirit of no return!

Seeing this, Yang Peng also had some admiration, and immediately rode his horse to meet him.

In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, only to hear a loud snap, the two fought a move, and then the two horses staggered. After running a dozen steps each, Yang Pengle turned his horse's head, only to see Hattori bravely howling and rushing straight up, the katana held high above his head, and he was desperate.

In the blink of an eye, Hattori bravely rushed in front of Yang Peng, and with a roar, he slashed the katana with both hands. Yang Peng waved his lance with one hand to block, only to hear a snap, and the weapons of the two sides collided, bursting out with countless sparks. Immediately, the two horses staggered, and Yang Peng turned the iron horse lance around his waist and swept Hattori's brave back with the lance. Hattori couldn't dodge bravely, and was smashed by the mallet, and there was a loud bang! Hattori only felt the pain of his spine as if it were broken, and his internal organs were even more painful! Hattori bravely forcibly held back with a strong will, and turned his horse's head to face Yang Peng, but he did not immediately rush forward.

Hattori stared at Yang Peng with a desperate look in his eyes, holding the katana in his right hand and holding the hilt of another katana at his waist with his left hand. Then he screamed, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly. The war horse immediately broke out and rushed straight towards Yang Peng. The sound of horses' hooves is loud, and Hattori is howling loudly!

In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Yang Peng, and the katana in his right hand immediately slashed down, the blade tore through the air and roared, and the momentum seemed to be able to split Huashan!

Yang Peng suddenly raised the iron horse lance, and with a loud bang, he swung away the imposing katana. However, at the same time, Hattori's heroic left hand pulled out another katana and stabbed Yang Peng directly in the abdomen! Seeing the cold light like a poisonous dragon coming out of a hole, it is already unavoidable!

At this moment, Yang Peng pulled out a horizontal knife with his left hand, which happened to block the opponent's katana. Immediately, Yang Peng pushed the iron horse lance forward with his right hand, and with a muffled pop, the lance slammed into the opponent's shoulder! The other party couldn't help but snort!

Then the two horses staggered. Yang Pengle turned the horse's head, put the horizontal knife into the sheath, and smiled at the horse's mallet and said to Hattori bravely: "Do you still want to fight?" ”

Hattori frowned and didn't speak. Suddenly turned over and dismounted, kneeling down towards Yang Peng on one knee. The soldiers and civilians of the Wa Kingdom in the city were not shocked when they saw this scene, because everyone saw the process of the contest just now very clearly, and Lord Hattori was not the opponent of the Ming Emperor at all!

Hattori said in a sad voice: "I'm defeated, you kill me!" Then he raised his head and glanced at Yang Peng, and said with some joy: "It is my honor to die in the hands of such a hero as Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Peng turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Hattori Haoyong, but helped him up, and said with a smile: "Isn't it easy to die?" The hardest thing is to be alive! Patted him on the shoulder, "You are an amazing warrior, follow me from today onwards!" ”

Hattori couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but kneel down; "I am willing to be a katana in the hands of His Majesty, loyal to His Majesty, until death!"

Yang Peng laughed, "Okay! ”

Hattori turned around and shouted loudly at the castle: "From today onwards, we will be the people of the Ming Dynasty!" There was a cheer on the wall.

That night, Hattori bravely held a feast in his mansion to serve Yang Peng and others. Both the guest and the host shouted straight to the third watch in the middle of the night, and then the wine and the lights dispersed.

Since Hattori was surrendered, the land south of Nara naturally fell to the wind. At this point, all the land west of the Central Mountain Range fell into Yang Peng's hands. In fact, at present, nominally speaking, the entire Wa Kingdom has become a part of Yang Peng, because all the great names in the East have accepted Yang Peng's canonization, and they are naturally Yang Peng's courtiers. However, the great names of the East were still wary of Yang Peng, worried that Yang Peng's army would suddenly come to the city.

After Yang Peng subdued Hattori Haoyong, he led Hattori Haoyong back to Kyoto.

When Yuzao heard that His Majesty had returned triumphantly, he hurriedly greeted him, smiling like a flower, and charming and natural. "I wish Your Majesty a triumphant!" Tamamo said as Ying Ying bowed down. Every action of this woman is very amorous, and she is really a generation of stunners!

Yang Peng smiled: "No need to be polite. ”

Tamamo thanked him and stood up. Seeing Hattori bravely standing behind Yang Peng, he nodded at him in a friendly manner. I don't want him to snort coldly and ignore it. Yuzao couldn't help but be angry in his heart, but it was just inconvenient to attack in front of Yang Peng, Li Xu and others.

Yang Peng walked into the main hall, and everyone followed. A group of people sat down, talked for a while, and then the meeting was dismissed. After the meeting was dismissed, everyone went down, except for Hattori who remained.

Seeing this, Yang Peng knew that he must have something to say, so he smiled and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Hattori bowed bravely and said: "Your Majesty, there will be a heartfelt word in the end, don't vomit or be unhappy!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded.

Hattori asked excitedly, "I don't know why Your Majesty let the demon girl in front of Tamamo stay by his side?" This woman is evil and abnormal, confusing the dynasty, and the previous Ping Qingsheng Rebellion can be said to have been caused by her! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "The rebellion of Ping Qingsheng was caused by the faint king, what does it have to do with her as a woman." "But ......"

Yang Peng raised his hand to stop his words and said: "As a man, you should learn to be responsible for things, instead of putting the responsibility on women!" The previous rebellion of the Japanese kingdom was a affair made by the ignorant and incompetent so-called emperor! If it weren't for the mediocrity and incompetence of the superior, how could a hero like Ping Qingsheng dare to think of non-division? And the reason why Taira Kiyomori stole the country is entirely because of his own ambitions, and has nothing to do with anyone else. Hattori only felt that what His Majesty said was reasonable, and bowed down and laughed.

Yang Peng said: "As for Yuzao, hehe, in fact, she is just a poor woman to some extent. Then he said to Hattori bravely: "Tamamo has made great contributions to our army, and my talent is also very good, so it can be said that I deserve to sit in the current official position." From now on, you are all my courtiers, so it is better to live in harmony. Hattori Haoyong naturally didn't dare to disobey Yang Peng's words, and immediately agreed. However, Hattori's heroic heart is still very disapproving of Tamamomae.

Yang Peng returned to the top and sat down, and said, "If you don't have anything, just step down." ”

Hattori bowed down and retreated.

As soon as Hattori came out of the palace, Tamamo stopped in front of him, and asked with an unkind expression, "Did you say bad things about me in front of Your Majesty?" ”

Hattori snorted coldly and said, "You are wrong, what I said is the truth, not bad words!" ”

Tamamo was anxious and angry, and asked urgently, "What did you say in front of Your Majesty?" ”

Hattori said proudly: "What are you, why should I tell you?" ”

Tamamo was furious, "You ......" and then smiled coldly, "Hattori heroic, you did something wrong, I will definitely want you to die a bad death!" Hattori was brave but didn't care, and said-for-tat: "It's a pity that Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he won't listen to your provocation!" Tamamo was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he snorted and turned to go.

In view of the fact that the situation in Dongying had stabilized, Yang Peng made Liu Zhiliang the general manager of the Dongying march, stationed in Dongying, and ordered all the Third Army Corps to stay, while the rest of the armies returned to China in batches. Before being canonized, Tamamo was the queen of the East China Sea and managed the affairs of Dongying.

Soon after the order was given, Yang Peng left Kyoto and arrived in Osaka. Then board the ship from Osaka, escorted by a fleet led by Wang Rong, sail out of port and return to the Central Plains.

Yang Peng stood on the deck, only to see the clear sky, the sea and the sky, and his heart couldn't help but be open-minded.

Wang Rong walked behind Yang Peng and asked puzzledly, "Why did the eldest brother stop like this?" Isn't this a great opportunity to completely eliminate the Japanese Daimyo and annex the Japanese kingdom in one fell swoop? ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I want to too, but I don't fulfill people's wishes." Wang Rong said jealously: "Big brother won't make this decision because of that Dongying demon woman, right?" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Your man is not so bad!" When Wang Rong heard this, she couldn't help but blush and snorted.

Yang Peng looked into the distance, frowned slightly, and said, "Not long ago, I received Western intelligence. It is said that the northern army of the Holy Roman Empire defeated the combined forces of France and England under the city of Paris, and then destroyed the whole of France, while their southern army has already broken through Rome, and the Holy See is finished; And the Byzantium are also sharp, they completely defeated the Orthodox coalition army, and now the so-called Orthodox coalition army is already scattered, except for one Rus, the rest have either been annexed by Byzantium or are surviving. The rapid expansion of these two empires was somewhat beyond my expectations. ”

Turning his head to look at Wang Rong, he said with a smile: "The Japanese are just mosquitoes and flies, they can be beaten at any time, but they can't give Shenluo and Byzantium a chance!" ”

Wang Rong couldn't help but nodded, frowning, and said, "Shenluo should indeed be vigilant, the last time the eldest brother suffered a big loss at their hands!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, and then remembered what Catherine had said when he had a brief reunion with Catherine that day. Catherine's words didn't attract Yang Peng's attention at the beginning, but looking back at this moment, I feel that Catherine's words seem to have other meanings?

At this time, Wang Rong's voice sounded in her ears again: "Big brother, there is one thing I have never figured out!" ”

Yang Peng retracted his thoughts and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Tell your husband about it. ”

Wang Rong couldn't help but smile and glanced at Chen Xiao. Thinking of the doubts in his heart, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Ago, why didn't my eldest brother allow me to lead the fleet to chase down Yongren and his fleet?" At that time, Yongren and they had already become lost dogs, and their morale was low, and our army only needed one drum to completely wipe them out. ”

Yang Peng smiled: "My purpose is their so-called New World, so I can't let you attack." Wang Rong was even more puzzled, "What is the truth?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Then you don't have to ask, you will naturally know when the time comes." Wang Rong said angrily: "If you don't ask, don't ask, who is rare!" ”

Yang Peng saw that she looked charming and very moving, and couldn't help but hold her slender hand, "Rong'er!" ”

Wang Rongfang's heart fluttered, and she whispered: "In broad daylight, it's outside again, don't move your hands and feet!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and let go of her, but took advantage of her inattention and lightly tapped her chest. Wang Rong blushed and said, "Pervert! ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Don't you like it?" ”

Wang Rong couldn't help but recall the lingering scene between the two, and only felt that she couldn't help but feel ecstasy, but she glanced at Yang Peng angrily.

That night, Wang Rong naturally stayed in Yang Peng's cabin to serve Yang Peng, and I won't go into detail about the lingering scene here.

Eyes turn to the court of the Holy Roman Empire. After the court, Catherine returned to the harem accompanied by a female guard. Catherine withdrew from the idle people on her left and right, and then said to the female guard, who was always inseparable from her, "I suppose our achievements have not disappointed the committee, have they?" ”

The female guard said, "The committee is very satisfied with your performance. In addition the committee has new orders down. As he spoke, he took a note from his sleeve and handed it to Catherine.

Catherine took the note and looked at it. His complexion changed suddenly, and he said to the female guard: "The problem in the west has not been completely solved, why do you have to use troops in the east?" ”

The female guard said, "This is the decision of the committee. The last time the Committee received my report, it was of the view that the situation in the East was completely different from what had been envisaged, and that perhaps there were people like us who had arrived in the East, and that they must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”

Catherine asked angrily, "You told the committee everything about me?" ”

The female guard glanced at Catherine and said, "I would like to say that I am afraid that the committee will think that we are derelict in their duties and withdraw us." I will only say that it was found that there are signs of a future haunt in the Eastern Empire. The Committee also concluded that the Orient must have influenced the course of history in the future, and therefore made the above decision, based on the fact that the Orient must have influenced the course of history in the future. ”

Catherine snorted, "We haven't completely unified the West, how can we use troops against the East!" I'm against it! ”

The female guard sneered, "Do you think that our empire is not suitable to use troops against the East now, or do you not want to be an enemy of your lover?" Catherine exclaimed, "Don't always pull on him!" ”

The female guard sneered: "If this matter is known to the committee, do you know what will happen?" ”

Catherine's heart was shocked, and she didn't speak anymore.

The female guard said: "Don't resist, since the committee has decided, it's not for you to change!" Let's think about how to carry out the orders of the committee! ”

Catherine looked at the female guard, "I'm going to appeal to the committee!" The female guard said indifferently: "Whatever you want, but I warn you, you won't change anything by doing that!" ”

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