Kong Zhende will not stay where he is for a troubled person.
After collecting the surrendered troops of Minamoto Yoshitsune, he continued to lead the army to launch an unstoppable attack on Suruga Kingdom.
What happened next was not surprising at all.
Hojo's political affairs did not catch up with the collapse of Kaga Kingdom, but caught up with the Ming Army's Northern Route Army led by Su Zetsu in Hida Kingdom.
He led 6,000 troops to join forces with Hida's army, and fought a battle with the Ming army without believing in evil. He tried his best to be the best, and even led more than 500 warriors of his family to mount a collective charge on horseback, showing an unstoppable attitude.
Then they were directly wiped out by a counterattack by the Ming Army cavalry, and they were all wiped out.
Hojo Tokimasa died under the iron hooves of the Ming army cavalry. In the end, not even a whole body was left behind. The lower half of his body was trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the war horse. Fortunately, the upper part of the body was still intact, so a trace of it was preserved. face.
But what’s the point of just this little bit of face?
It's just that a complete head can be preserved.
The reinforcements of the Hojo clan and the Hida Kingdom were killed by the Ming army, and the Ming army led by Su Jue made great strides into Vietnam.
On the other side, in the Shinano Country, Minamoto Yoritomo gathered all the people who could find the riding skills in the area. Regardless of whether they were soldiers or not, they were all assigned weapons and asked them to go to the battlefield and fight the Ming army in bloody battles.
Minamoto Yoritomo brought 15,000 soldiers, plus local knights from Shinano Kingdom and knights provided by Kai Kingdom, the total force was more than 20,000, which was a large scale.
It can be said that this is the first time that more than 20,000 organized troops have faced the Ming army since Heian Kyo's 30,000 main force. Minamoto Yoritomo feels very confident and feels that even if he cannot completely defeat the Ming army, he can still contain it in Shinano country. Live at the pace of the Ming army.
So he decided to give up the battle to defend the city and seek an opportunity to fight the main force of the Ming army.
His wish was granted.
In the valley, he ran into the main force of the 50,000 Ming army led by Xin Qiji. Xin Qiji deliberately let the Ming army show weakness, reflected the hot-blooded Minamoto Yoritomo into the valley, and then blocked both sides.
Close the door and beat the dog.
The Ming army first let the firearms troops swarm forward. The artillery roared and the muskets spit out tongues of fire. They attacked the Japanese army from both ends. The Japanese army was stunned by the firearms and suffered heavy losses. The army fell into a state of total collapse. No one listened to Minamoto Yoritomo's command anymore.
Minamoto Yoritomo was determined. Even in the face of such a defeat, he still thought about breaking out of the encirclement, not the crime of not fighting if God wants to destroy me. What he still wanted was to escape and regain his strength to fight the Ming army again.
His will is indeed strong.
But his surname is not Sima, this valley is not called Shangfang Valley, and this world is not the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so there is no heavy rain from the sky to save him - even the heavy rain from the sky can't save him. The Ming army does not use firearms, but its hand-to-hand combat ability is still the same. Extremely powerful.
The Ming army advanced step by step from the front and back, with gunpowder roaring and arrows flying. Swordsmen, shields, and spearmen formed an army formation and advanced like a wall, grinding the Japanese troops in the valley into minced meat step by step.
The battlefield was extremely tragic and the fighting was extremely brutal.
Xin Qiji stood on the mountainside and gave orders, looking at his masterpiece with a confident smile on his lips.
The more than 20,000 Japanese troops commanded by Minamoto Yoritomo were completely wiped out in this war, and 5,000 people died on the battlefield. The casualties were extremely tragic.
All those who survived were terrified. Facing the Ming army, they looked like demons in the sky. They knelt on the ground and shivered, not daring to resist at all.
The casualties the Ming army paid for this were relatively small. The total casualties were only more than 800 people, most of whom were minor injuries.
Minamoto Yoritomo refused to admit defeat and fought until the last moment.
The cavalry guards around him protected him and rushed left and right in an attempt to break out. Su Jue's general Wei Ke was very excited when he saw a man in bright armor rushing left and right. He immediately got on his horse and charged with his own cavalry.
Minamoto no Yoritomo's cavalry escort was overwhelmed by Wei Kexian's cavalry. He was knocked off his horse in the chaos and died tragically under the iron hoofs of his horses. The rest were all killed and no one survived.
After the war, Minamoto Yoritomo's broken body was identified and brought to Xin Qiji. Xin Qiji ordered his head to be chopped off and his body to be burned together with all the dead people.
Japan's last organized resistance army was completely wiped out in this war. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty Three The End of the War and the Northern Expedition Fleet
The four kingdoms of Shinano, Kai, Sagami, and Yinzu lost all their forces in this battle, and they completely lost their ability to resist.
After all three resistance armies were destroyed, the outcome of this war, which was originally without any surprises, was revealed without any surprises.
In the next month, the Ming army wiped out the Shinano Kingdom, Kai Kingdom, Sagami Kingdom, Yinzu Kingdom, Hida Kingdom, Etsuchugoku, Noto Kingdom and other countries, and began to march towards Echigo Kingdom, Ueno Kingdom, Musashi Kingdom and other places. A new round of strategies.
Of course, at this point, it’s more of a strategy than a reception.
The local resistance was negligible. The resistance of a few dozen or hundreds of people was like a piece of paper in front of the large Ming army, easily broken by a poke.
As the news that the Genji army was completely annihilated continued to spread, the resistance the Ming army encountered along the way became weaker and weaker. More and more local lords and powerful figures no longer wanted to resist, and chose to surrender to the Ming army, hoping that In exchange for the acceptance and appointment of the Ming army.
But they did not know that their surrender could not change anything, because the Ming Dynasty did not need them and did not need them, a group of exploiters, to continue to exist in the new post-war system.
The Ming army advanced all the way, and the resistance forces, along with the reactionary forces, were completely wiped out.
This war basically came to an end at the end of August 2017 in the Republic of China. Only four months after the war started, a country with a population of more than five million came to an end.
When the army broke through the Mutsu Kingdom and arrived at the seaside, Xin Qiji was so proud that he wrote a battle report to Su Yonglin at the seaside, reporting to him that he had successfully completed the mission, and asking for credit for the entire army.
The Ming army once again won a large-scale battle to destroy the country, and this victory was the first victory led by Xin Qiji in the true sense. It was also of great significance to Xin Qiji himself.
But at this moment, even if his battle report is sent back, it won't get much attention.
Because things that really deserve attention are happening in China right now.
The Northern Expedition Fleet concluded its third exploration and they are back.
They brought back boatloads of gold, copper and various precious metal products, as well as some bone products, fur products, various weird-looking totems, etc.
Of course the latter is not important, what is important is gold and copper.
At that time, Chen Zhenxian fell ill due to hard work on the boat. The first thing he did after arriving in Zhongdu was to go to the medical clinic to see a doctor and get medicine. During the treatment, Su Yonglin, who learned the specific news, came to the medical clinic to see him and accompany him to see the doctor. Take care of his body.
After the consultation was over and it was confirmed that there were no major problems, Su Yonglin felt relieved and talked with him pleasantly about his experiences on the American continent and asked him about the Native Americans.
