Ninomiya Kazuya shouted: "Katsuto, don't be rude!" Ninomiya Katsuto stopped talking, but looking at the look on his face, it was obvious that he had no regrets at all.
Chosogabu Yoshimori thought: "Katsuto's words are not unreasonable. We all know Zushi Shigeo and Uesugi Nobuo. If we say that these two ruthless characters are facing each other head-on, they will be defeated by their opponents with inferior strength." It is unbelievable that the entire army was wiped out! We, the Yamato nation, are the best at fighting. If someone can defeat us with inferior troops under normal circumstances, I will never believe it!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and felt that what Chosamebu Yoshimori said made sense. Ninomiya Katsuto smiled and said: "That's a good saying, that's the truth!" Then he said angrily: "Between Sasuro Shigeo and Uesugi Nobuo Therefore, such a disastrous defeat must be due to a command error by His Highness the Crown Prince and a sneak attack by the enemy! There can be no other reasons! If our army fights against the Yanyun Army, we will never make the same mistake!"
A short, dark-skinned, fierce-looking senior samurai shouted: "Katsuto is right! Let us go and wash away the shame that Sasuro Shigeo and others have inflicted on our Yamato nation!" This senior samurai, named Taro Kuroyama, is Ninomiya Kazuya is one of the strongest samurai under his command. When he spoke, everyone agreed. Everyone thinks: 'Our army has twice the strength of our opponent. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to defeat the enemy! We will definitely annihilate all the enemies in this battle and let everyone see the bravery of the warriors from the Four Kingdoms! ’ At this thought, everyone became a little impatient.
Ninomiya Kazuya thought more: "Now the only complete army left in Kyushu's army is his own. If he can defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, then he can take control of Kyushu as a matter of course, which will undoubtedly be very important for the expansion of his own power." advantageous! From now on, the four powers will have unparalleled voice and control in Great Japan! ' At this thought, Ninomiya Kazuya couldn't help but get excited, and turned to look at Chosonggabu Yoshimori. Chosamebu Yoshimori saw Ninomiya Kazuya's eyes and guessed his thoughts, saying: "If we can defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, it will definitely be very beneficial to our four countries! But for the sake of caution, I think We cannot be rash and just head to Kumamoto to fight the Ming army. We should send cavalry troops to reconnoiter the road ahead to avoid being ambushed by the enemy and repeat the same mistake. At the same time, we should send a small group of elite troops to test the enemy!"
Katsuto Ninomiya said angrily: "There is no need to go to such trouble, it is just a waste of time! What if the enemy takes the opportunity to escape? If we don't fight hard to regain the lost ground, this war will be too boring!"
Chosame's subordinate Yoshimori smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this. Those Han people must have completely looked down on us after they had just won a few miraculous victories! They would think that they had defeated an army of more than 200,000, and we had 60,000 Naturally, the army is even less of a problem!..." Ninomiya Katsuto and others were furious and started shouting one after another.
Ninomiya Kazuya shouted: "Shut up, everyone!" The scene became quiet.
Ninomiya Kazuya said: "Just follow Yoshimori's strategy."
Katsuto Ninomiya immediately asked for a fight: "Let me lead a small group of elites to surprise the enemy!"
Ninomiya Kazuya thought for a while and nodded, "Okay! You go!" Ninomiya Katsuto was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I will let those Han people see the power of the real warriors of our Yamato nation!"
Ninomiya Kazuya said to Taro Montenegro: "Immediately send out all the mounted warriors to conduct preliminary investigations and report any situation immediately." The Japanese country is different from those countries of the Ming Dynasty. Since war horses are an extremely scarce resource, those who can fight on horseback are by no means ordinary. The ashigaru were all samurai. In Japan, there was no such thing as cavalry, only mounted samurai. Taro Montenegro agreed and ran down.
Yongren was resting in the tent when he suddenly heard people outside shouting and neighing. He couldn't help but feel strange, so he walked out of the tent. Hundreds of horse-riding warriors were seen running out of the camp into several groups and running towards the west. Then the Ninomiya Katsuto also left with three thousand men and horses. Yongren frowned and immediately called to a warrior not far away: "Hey! Come here!" The warrior heard the call and looked over. Seeing that the person calling him was His Royal Highness, he hurried over and bowed: "Your Highness, I will live forever!"
Yongren pointed at the army leaving the camp and asked, "What's going on?"
The samurai said: "General Ninomiya has already issued an order to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army to regain the lost ground. Therefore, he ordered the mounted warriors to conduct the first reconnaissance, and ordered General Ninomiya Katsuto to lead the elite attack first."
Yongren was shocked and said angrily: "Why didn't he obey the order?" Then he ran towards Kazuya Ninomiya's tent. When he came to the big tent, he saw Ninomiya Kazuya discussing matters with his subordinates, and immediately asked: "Ninomiya-kun, why don't you listen to my order?" Everyone saw that the Crown Prince was coming menacingly, and their hearts trembled. Ninomiya Kazuya But he said to his subordinates with a normal expression: "You all go down." Everyone bowed to Ninomiya Kazuya, then bowed to Yonghito, and exited the big tent. In the blink of an eye, only the Yonghito and Ninomiya Kazuya were alone.
Ninomiya Kazuya walked up to Yonghito, bowed and said, "I don't understand what Your Highness said."
Yongren frowned and said angrily: "I have already ordered you to lead the army to retreat to Saeki, but why do you still attack? Don't you know how terrible the enemy is? Don't you know that more than 200,000 troops have been wiped out by the Ming army before? Yet?"
Ninomiya Kazuya said calmly: "I think the reason why Zuo Shizuo and others were defeated was because they fell into the enemy's trick. If they fought under normal circumstances, how could the Han people be our opponents in the Yamato nation! I am not Zuo Shizuo Uesugi Nobuo, let alone Minamoto Yoshitsune, I will never be tricked by the sneaky tricks of the Han people! I will force the Han people to fight our army head-on, I will let them see the power of the real Yamato warriors, and I will wash away the previous defeats What a disgrace to the Yamato nation!" Ninomiya Kazuya became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he was shouting.
Yongren couldn't help but change his face in fear, took a step back, and shouted subconsciously: "You, what are you going to do?"
Ninomiya Kazuya realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly took a step back, lowered his head, and bowed: "I am just saddened by the previous failure of our army. Please forgive me for my rudeness!"
Yongren calmed down, looked at Ninomiya Kazuya, nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. I hope you can defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop and wash away the shame of previous defeats. If you can succeed, I will definitely confer you the title of Shikoku." And the Great General of Kyushu.”
Ninomiya Kazu didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would make such a promise. It could be said that he was playing into his heart. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said quickly: "I will never let down Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yongren nodded and said: "If I stay here, you will definitely not be able to command the battle with peace of mind. I will leave today, and you will be the commander-in-chief of the war against the Ming Dynasty." Ninomiya Kazuya was even more happy. Okay, let's get high again.
Yongren said a few more words of encouragement and prepared to leave. Ninomiya Kazuya hurriedly said: "I will send an army to escort His Highness back to Kyoto!" Yonghito glanced at Ninomiya Kazuya and said, "Thank you for your kindness. But we need the army more here, so don't waste your limited power. It's on me. I have my own samurai to protect me, and there are no enemies along the way, so I don't have to worry about anything." Ninomiya Kazuya just said a polite word. When Yongren said this, Yue stopped insisting. With a cry, Yongren was sent out of the tent.
Yonghito hurried back to his tent and immediately called Ohno Satoshi, asking him to prepare and return to Kyoto immediately. Ohno Satoshi immediately went down to prepare. Soon after, Ohno Satoshi led dozens of samurai who escaped from Kumamoto to escort Yonghito's car and left.
The group went straight east, and a few days later, they arrived at Saeki Port. Boarding the ship that Yongren took to Kyushu earlier, he left the port and headed east. That night, Yonghito suddenly issued an order to take the boat to the north and head to Fukuoka. Everyone was confused. His Highness was going back to Kyoto. Why did he suddenly go to Fukuoka? However, since this was His Highness's order, everyone did not dare to ask more questions and obeyed one after another.
Turning his attention to Kumamoto, Yang Peng learned through scouts that Ninomiya Kazuya was leading an army to kill Kumamoto, which was beyond Yang Peng's expectations. When Yang Peng was formulating the battle plan, he judged that if the battle went smoothly and the enemy's army of more than 200,000 was annihilated and Kumamoto fell, Ninomiya Kazuya would be frightened and immediately lead his troops to retreat, not to mention the retreat. As far as the starting point of Shikoku Island, we will at least retreat to Saeki. But the current situation is exactly the opposite. Ninomiya Kazuya showed no fear at all, but continued to lead the army forward with a desperate attitude.
Yang Peng immediately started thinking about the situation in front of him. Immediately mobilize all armies to ambush the enemy? Yang Peng immediately rejected the idea. Firstly, the armies are still on Oyano Island and Nagasaki Peninsula. Judging from the current situation, there is no time to rush back. Secondly, the armies have been running into battles one after another during this period. They are already exhausted. Even if they can win in time, , by the time they get to their position, they may not have any energy to launch an attack.
The armies cannot be in position in a short time, so can the nearly 10,000 troops and horses in Kumamoto Castle be used to attack? Yang Peng felt that it was possible to defeat 60,000 Japanese troops on suitable terrain, but with insufficient troops and horses, even if he won, it would only be a rout rather than a battle of annihilation. This would make it difficult to determine the next move. Not good. With this thought, Yang Peng decided to stand still and show weakness to the enemy. Since they wanted to attack, let them attack.
At the same time, Katsuto Ninomiya was leading three thousand elite warriors and ashigaru to advance all the way, and their morale was high.
Soon after, Katsuto Ninomiya led his elite troops to Kumamoto Castle. Katsuto Ninomiya came out to challenge, with great majesty.
Yang Peng stood on the city wall and looked at the Japanese army outside the city. He saw that our army was actually tough. The leading Japanese general was wearing the unique armor of the Japanese, with a half-moon decoration on his head. He was waving a sword in his hand, and the cold light was shining. , majestic. When Chen Xiao saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart. He wanted to ride his horse out and kill the enemy general off his horse. However, for the sake of grand strategic considerations, he had to restrain this impulse. All the generals asked for battle, but Chen Xiao refused. Seeing the enemy's arrogance becoming more and more arrogant, the generals were all very angry and wondered why His Majesty was not allowed to go to war.
Ninomiya Katsuto saw that the enemy had been shouting for a long time, but the enemy was still cowardly hiding in the city and not daring to fight. He couldn't help but feel very proud. At the same time, the only wariness he had about Yan Yun's army disappeared, and he only thought that Yang Peng's army had no combat effectiveness at all. It is worth mentioning that everyone in Yang Pengjun's army is a coward. The reason why he won before was just through conspiracy and tricks, and Zuoshi Shigeo and others were too stupid.
Katsuto Ninomiya began to insult him. He spoke Chinese, and it was relatively pure. In fact, most of the Japanese aristocrats of this era knew Chinese. Ninomiya Shengren first insulted the ancestors of the Han people, and then began to insult Yang Peng. From Yang Peng's ancestors to the women of Yang Peng's family, the viciousness of his words was really breathtaking! When all the soldiers heard that the Japanese slave dared to insult the Han people and insult His Majesty, they were all so angry that they began to yell and curse one after another. Naturally, Yang Peng was furious and murmured: "Damn, you damn Japanese slave, no!" Let me give you some color and see, you really think you are nothing!" At this time, the second palace Shengren yelled and cursed again: "Emperor Yanyun is a coward, a bad hybrid between a rabbit and a sheep, you just Hide in the city, otherwise I will chop off your dog's head as soon as I come out, and hang your dog's head on the top of Mount Fuji, so that everyone can see what a rotten bastard like you looks like!" Although the samurai and ashigaru Most of them couldn't understand Chinese, but they knew that their general was insulting each other, so they all laughed and hooted along, making the place noisy.
"Your Majesty, that Japanese slave is simply looking for death. I can't stand listening anymore. Please let me go to fight!" Teng Kan shouted excitedly. The other generals also shouted.
Yang Peng shook his head. The generals were very depressed, and then they heard Chen Xiao say: "I want to kill this bastard with my own hands!" Then they walked towards the city wall and shouted loudly: "Teng Kan, you take command for me."
Katsuto Ninomiya cursed until his voice became hoarse and he coughed. Seeing the city gate in front suddenly open, a general Yan Yun rode out. Ninomiya Katsuto felt a little surprised. He did not expect that the cowardly Han people would dare to fight, but he immediately became excited. He just felt that he could kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and take this opportunity to let the Han people know the true power of the Yamato samurai!
Katsuto Ninomiya raised his sword and galloped forward. The Japanese samurai and ashigaru shouted, and they all looked extremely excited, like beasts in heat.
Ninomiya Katsuto roared again and again, looking at the enemy getting closer and closer, all he wanted to do was kill him with one strike! In the blink of an eye, the two sides met. Ninomiya Katsuto yelled and was about to chop the opponent's head with the sword in his hand. However, something unexpected happened. The sword in his hand was still in mid-air, and the opponent's horse stabbed towards him like a poisonous dragon! When Katsuto Ninomiya saw the cold light piercing his eyes, he was so frightened that he no longer cared about killing the opponent and quickly turned sideways to avoid it. However, the opponent's speed was too fast. Although he reacted in time, he could not completely dodge. There was a loud bang, and the helmet with the family emblem on his head fell down. Ninomiya Katsuto was shocked. of cold sweat.
The two horses passed by each other and turned their horses' heads one after another. Ninomiya Katsuto looked at the enemy general opposite with an uncertain expression, and the samurai and ashigaru under him also looked surprised. They never expected that their general would be killed in one move. The opponent shot off the helmet! Some people thought that it was because the general was too careless that his opponent succeeded, and it was not because the opponent was too powerful. They couldn't help but become agitated and started shouting. When others saw them shouting, they also started shouting, and the whole battlefield was filled with fear. There was an anxious atmosphere.
Ninomiya Katsuto frowned and shouted: "Baga!" Then he rode towards Yang Peng again. Yang Peng immediately rode up to meet him, and the two men rode on their war horses and told Hedge to approach quickly. In the blink of an eye, the two of them met. Ninomiya Katsuto yelled and prepared to swing the sword with both hands. However, this time his opponent's speed was still ahead of him. He saw the cold light stabbing towards his waist and ribs. He hurriedly changed his moves with both hands and used the sword. Sweeping downwards, at the critical moment, the sword's blade hit the opponent's horse with a loud snap! Yang Peng raised the corner of his mouth, and using the force of the opponent's blow with his hands, he circled Ma Hao to his chest. Ma Hao drew a big circle and swept across Ninomiya Katsuto's back! Ninomiya Katsuto didn't expect that his opponent could change his moves like this. He couldn't block it anymore. He saw the opponent's horse whizzing towards him and was about to hit him on the back!
At the critical moment, Ninomiya Katsuto fell forward. Almost at the same time, all I could hear was the roar of the wind above my head, a loud snap, and the war horse screamed and fell forward suddenly! The war horse was running at full speed, and when it suddenly fell down, the inertia was naturally very huge. Ninomiya Katsuto could not control his body immediately, and his whole body flew out. Ninomiya Katsuto's limbs were dancing in the air, with a look of horror on his face, and he exclaimed. Scream! But the Japanese samurai and Ashigaru were dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they were seeing!
There was a loud bang, and Katsuto Ninomiya fell heavily to the ground. He was so stunned that his eyes were filled with stars. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive! Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hooves, and vaguely saw the opponent galloping towards me. I was so frightened that I couldn't care less about the pain all over my body, and I quickly rolled and crawled to escape!
Seeing the critical situation of Katsuto Ninomiya, all the Japanese samurai and Ashigaru couldn't help shouting. A dozen senior samurai immediately rushed out on horseback to rescue Katsuto Ninomiya.
Yang Peng rode his horse to catch up with Katsuto Ninomiya, raised his horse spear with his right arm, and stabbed out toward Katsuto Ninomiya's back. The horse hit Katsuto Ninomiya's back with a snap, but it did not penetrate his body as expected. Yang Peng felt as if he had hit a stone. Katsuto Ninomiya screamed, threw forward and fell to the ground, with a mouthful of blood coming out of his mouth, and his expression was very painful. I don’t know what kind of armor Ninomiya Katsuto was wearing, but he actually withstood Yang Peng’s assassination blow. However, Yang Peng’s power was so huge. Although this blow failed to kill him on the spot, his huge power was It had hurt his insides.
Yang Peng failed to kill the opponent with this blow, but more than a dozen senior warriors from the opponent had already charged forward on horseback. Yang Peng gave up on killing Katsuto Ninomiya and rode up to meet the dozen senior warriors. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the crowd, and the warriors howled and slashed with their swords, and the light of the sword flashed for a moment; Yang Peng danced his iron horse like a windmill, and the crackling sounds and screams were endless. The Japanese warriors The man fell on his back and his horse fell over. As the two sides passed each other, the Japanese samurai and the Ashigaru suddenly saw that all the samurai on the five war horses were missing, and they couldn't help but change their colors in horror.
At this moment, the city gate opened wide, and Teng Kan led a thousand warriors to rush out and kill the Japanese army. Yang Peng immediately turned his horse's head and charged towards the enemy's formation. The samurai quickly rescued the seriously injured Ninomiya Kazuya and returned to the military formation.
Yang Peng rode alone into the middle of the Japanese army, marching forward in an unstoppable manner, as if he were in an uninhabited land. The Japanese, whether they were samurai or ashigaru, could not resist them at all. They were killed until their corpses were covered with blood and they were terrified! Immediately, a thousand warriors led by Teng Kan arrived, wielding broadswords and axes, killing each other with every step, so ferocious that the Japanese could no longer hold on and turned and fled for their lives. Yang Pengjun chased them for several miles before retreating.
Yang Peng immediately stood on the battlefield, looking at the Japanese corpses on the ground, smiling bitterly. Teng Kan ran to Yang Peng and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have completely defeated those Japanese slaves! They are so fucking arrogant, I thought they were weak, but they are so fucking vulnerable! What a fucking disappointment!"
Yang Peng said: "Fucking impulsiveness is the devil!" Teng Kan looked confused and puzzled. Yang Peng was too lazy to explain and ordered: "Return to the city immediately after cleaning the battlefield." Teng Kan promised with clasped fists.
Katsuto Ninomiya, supported by the remaining defeated generals, ran for his life like a bereaved dog frightened by a bird.
Soon after, their group rushed back to the army camp. Ninomiya Kazuya and others who were waiting for their good news saw them fleeing back in such terror and embarrassment. They were all stunned and speechless for a long time. Ninomiya Kazuya asked angrily: "Did you also fall into an ambush by the Han people?" Ninomiya Kazuto was so ashamed that he almost wanted to die immediately. He lowered his head and shook his head and said: "No, we, we were defeated. Got it!"
Seeing that the arrogant and arrogant son of Ninomiya had turned into such a look, Ninomiya Kazuya frowned and asked: "What's going on?"
Katsuto Ninomiya didn't dare to hide it, so he told him that he led his army to challenge him and was almost killed by his opponent. Then a thousand of the enemy's elite troops came out of the city and swept away three thousand of his own troops. Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
Ninomiya Katsuto felt that his defeat in this battle was really humiliating and he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly pulled out the katana of a samurai next to him and wanted to commit suicide. Ninomiya Kazuya was furious, stepped forward, grabbed the wrist holding the knife with his left hand, and punched Katsuto Ninomiya in the face with his right hand. Katsuto Ninomiya screamed and fell to the ground. Ninomiya Kazuya shouted angrily: "Thinking of committing suicide after defeat is what a coward does!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
