For the next three days, the Ming army has been resting in Meizuo, with no intention of attacking at all. It seems that they are enjoying the beautiful spring here, and the temperature has risen recently, and even the ice and snow on the ground have begun to melt!
The ronin in the capital was very surprised: "What is going on with the Ming army? Should we fight or not?"
"I don't know! It's been so many days? Could it be that you were scared by our people? That's why you don't dare to come?"
"Is it possible? Matsushita Mu's men are more powerful than the others. Last time they slightly injured two of the opponent's generals. I guess they are already thinking about how to get home now, right?"
"Hahaha...!" A group of ronin laughed loudly.
Just when a group of ronin were laughing, I felt why the day suddenly turned dark. Dark clouds covered the sun? Everyone instinctively looked up, but the sight in front of them scared them so much that they couldn't move!
I saw a batch of flying arrows suddenly appeared in the sky. I don't know how many they were. They were densely packed and covered the entire sky. It can be said that it was blocking the sky and the sun, and it was airtight!
【Puff puff! 】 Tens of thousands of arrows fell in a covered manner. The Japanese pirates on the ground did not even have a chance to react. They instantly turned into hedgehogs and killed more than 500 people in one salvo! The ronin who was still laughing at the Ming army just now will never speak again!
"attack!"
With an order, thousands of archers ignited all the arrows in their hands, and then started shooting from the south of Kyoto. Thousands of rockets flew towards them, setting hundreds of houses on fire in the south of Kyoto!
In just an instant, fire fell from the sky, and hundreds of houses immediately turned into a sea of flames. The Japanese pirates who were still living their normal lives did not understand what was going on. They never expected that the Ming army would attack Kyoto in broad daylight. No preparation at all!
"Go forward a hundred steps and keep firing rockets!" Zhao Xuanyi ordered!
"Yes! Move forward a hundred steps and continue to release rockets!" Wang Yunlong shouted!
"Yes!" Thousands of Qilin Guards began to advance a hundred steps, lit their arrows, aimed at the distance, and continued shooting!
The second round of rockets once again fell on the houses of ordinary people in the south of Kyoto. Some Japanese pirates were directly shot to death by the rockets, and some were still running around. At this moment, nearly 600 houses have been set on fire. The Japanese pirates have not yet been identified. Completely ignoring the danger of the Ming army, he was holding a bucket and trying to put out the fire!
Others were carrying valuable materials out of their homes. For a while, southern Kyoto fell into chaos. The crackling of fires, people's screams, and the cries of children all mixed together. Listen to It looks very miserable!
And all the ronin organizations also received the exact order at this moment, that is, the Ming army had begun to attack Kyoto. For a moment, all the ronin were all excited, cursing constantly, picking up samurai swords in their hands, and rushed towards the south of Kyoto!
However, after arriving in the south, I saw that this side had turned into a sea of fire. Before I even saw the Ming army, I had already seen what a real war was. The scene in front of me seemed like a purgatory on earth, with the fire of hell constantly devouring the lives of Japanese pirates. There are also various houses and buildings and more!
【Whoosh whoosh whoosh...! ] Just when all the ronin were wondering how to start, there was a strange sound in the air, and then thousands of rockets were seen flying through the air!
And this group of ronin saw arrows falling on another house, and the fire ignited instantly, but they could only watch helplessly, with no way to save anyone!
"Baga!" A ronin pulled out his sword and then shouted, "Follow me out of the city and kill those bastards!"
"Okay, count me in!"
"I'm coming too! Come on!"
"Kill...!" A group of ronin shouted slogans and rushed towards the south gate.
When more than a hundred ronin rushed out of the city gate, they immediately stopped. They saw a dense and overwhelming Ming army outside the city gate. The oppression of a hundred thousand people was not something ordinary people could bear!
This group of ronin had only seen a team of a few hundred people at most before. Even if the government came forward, it would only be a thousand people at most. But now that they saw a regular team, they were frightened by the scene for a moment.
Even the hand holding the katana doesn't know how to cut it!
"Hey, there are people who come out to die on their own? It's not common!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Then let them go! Shoot arrows!" Shen Wei shouted loudly.
【Whoosh whoosh whoosh...! 】Hundreds of arrows flew over and killed all the hundred-man team in an instant. They even forgot to fight back and defend themselves, and were shot directly through the chest and died!
Zhao Xuanyi sneered, "I thought ronin were all powerful? It turns out they can die with just one arrow!"
"My lord, what should we do next?" Wang Yunlong shouted.
"The team advances two hundred steps, continue to shoot rockets, and slowly burn down all their houses! As long as there are enemies who dare to come out, kill them directly! We are not in a hurry to attack today, but to boil the frog in warm water and play slowly. One day If it’s not enough, just play for two days! As long as there are no these buildings and houses, ninjas will be useless!”
"Yes! Advance two hundred steps!" Wang Yunlong immediately ordered!
After the army started to advance two hundred steps, thousands of archers lit their rockets again, and then threw them into the distance again!
A thousand arrows fell on a village again! The ronin and ninja army in Jiang Di all gathered on the street. Seeing that the Ming army's rockets had set thousands of houses on fire, everyone was very angry!
"You bastard, if you have the guts, come in and fight! What's the point of burning down a house?"
"What does your army do? Go out and fight!"
When the ninja heard this, his face was very ugly, "Fighting in the open outside the city is not what we are best at!"
"Are you good at waiting? When all these houses are burned down, you will have no choice. The enemy is clearly planning to force you out of the city to fight. Are you still a Japanese samurai? Are you still qualified to wear the katana behind your back? ?」
The dignified ninjas were loudly scolded by several ronin, and their faces were really ugly. But as they just said, if they leave the city at this moment, they will have no cover to use their ninjutsu!
At this time, a figure came out. When everyone saw that the person who came was none other than Matsushita Takuno, he was leading more than 300 ronin behind him. When everyone saw that Matsushita Takuno was coming, they immediately got out of the way! They all bowed their heads and saluted!
Matsushita Takuno came to the road and took a look. He saw that the entire southern part of Kyoto had been swallowed up by fire. Countless Japanese pirates died tragically in the fire. People were running away on the streets. They didn't know where they were fleeing to, but they couldn't stay. Come down and be burned to death!
"Boss, you are here!" All the ronin bowed their heads and said with great respect.
Matsushita Takuno looked at the people around him. In addition to his own men, there were only more than 300 ronin under him. The Kyoto ronin team should have thousands of people in total, but now there are only these 600 left!
Matsushita Takuno sneered, "He is indeed a ronin!"
"Boss, what do we do next? We all follow you!"
"Yes, we will follow you!" The other ronin also nodded.
Matsushita Takuno sighed, "There is an old saying in the Central Plains, where is the home if the country is broken! If we cannot protect Kyoto, our home will be gone! Assemble, let's go out and fight the Ming army!"
"Boss... we only have these few hundred people! There are thousands of ninja teams in the city, but they don't want to fight!"
Matsushita Takuno smiled and patted the man on the shoulder, "You idiot, if the government is really reliable, why do we ronin still exist?"
After everyone heard this, they had angry expressions on their faces, and then they laughed crazily! "Yes, you are right!"
Matsushita Takuno pulled out his samurai sword, "Everyone, today we are fighting the enemy for no other reason than to tell the government how incompetent and stupid they are. Our story will be passed down through the ages. And their cowardice will be known to future generations!"
"That's right!"
"Yes, let future generations laugh at them!"
"Follow me!" After Matsushita Takuno said, he led six hundred ronin and rushed out of the city from a small road!
At this moment, Zhao Xuanyi had led the army to the south city gate, and saw only
The surface has turned into a sea of fire. Even if you want to rush in, it is a little difficult. The ground has been burned into scorched earth, and the surrounding houses are still burning. I don't know if it is dangerous to go in at this moment!
"My lord, should we go in somewhere else?" Wang Yunlong asked.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Change another place? Did I say I wanted to go in?"
"Aren't you going in?"
Before Zhao Xuanyi could answer, he only heard a burst of chaotic sounds! Zhao Xuanyi asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
"Report...!" A scout ran over and knelt on the ground. "Reporting to the Crown Prince and Duke, the Far Eastern Army in the east suddenly encountered a small group of local troops on the outskirts. This group of enemies was very powerful and has been killed. There are thousands of people in the Far East Army!"
"What?" Zhu Wenyu asked in surprise, "How many are there?"
"About... five to six hundred!"
"Five or six hundred?" Zhu Wenyu couldn't believe that the other party actually had such a strong organization!
A smile appeared on Zhao Xuanyi's face, "They should be the group of people I'm waiting for! Don't panic, I'll deal with them! Now listen to my orders, Tang Tianli, Sun Yan, Wang Yunlong, each of you will lead 10,000 Qilin Guards and rush to me respectively. Outside the east gate, west gate, and north gate of Kyoto, you only need to shoot rockets into the city, but you are not allowed to enter the city to attack, do you hear me?"
"I heard it!" the three shouted loudly!
"Liu Bo!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Divide your 30,000 border guards into three teams, each with 10,000 people. Protect the perimeter of these three Qilin Guards to prevent sneak attacks! Today we will play a trick and burn Kyoto!"
"Yes!" everyone shouted loudly, and then began to mobilize the troops and start marching in batches!
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Nangong Che, "Nangong Che!"
"exist!"
"Bring our secret weapons and follow me to reinforce the Far Eastern Army!"
"yes!"
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Zhu Wenyu and Li Hanyan, "Let's go and show you my new weapon!"
When Zhu Wenyu heard about the new weapon, he showed a mysterious smile, "Brother, have you discovered anything interesting again?"
"You'll find out later, it will definitely be a feast for your eyes!" Zhao Xuanyi burst into laughter after saying this!
At this moment, a bloody battle was taking place on the flank of the Far East Army on a hill. Tang Yue led people to rush to the bottom of the hill, only to see that the entire hill was in chaos. There were people everywhere, and there were still many people lying on the ground. Tang Yue took a closer look at the corpse. Aren't all the dead people his own?
"What's going on? Why haven't we taken down these bastards yet!" Tang Yue shouted angrily.
"Report to General, this group of people is extremely powerful. This must be our third charge. So far... nearly two thousand people have been sacrificed!"
"Two thousand people? Two thousand people died and you still haven't killed so many people?"
"not yet!"
Tang Yue kicked the general beside him to the ground, "You losers, bring me my spear!"
"Hey, what's going on? The general is going to show up in person?" came a sarcastic voice!
"Who the hell...?" Tang Yue was furious and was about to curse, but he saw Zhao Xuanyi coming with hundreds of Qilin Guards, "See the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Xuanyi came to Tang Yue and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be angry. These people are Japanese Ronin. They are far more powerful than ninjas and my Qilin Guards. Your people are no bigger than them. Let them withdraw. Let's see next." Look at my weapons!"
"Yes!" Tang Yue turned to look at his lieutenant, "Ask everyone to withdraw!"
"yes!"
There was a sound of horns, and all the Far Eastern troops on the hill were seen retreating. At this moment, there were more than 500 ronin on the hill. They were holding samurai swords. They saw the Ming army suddenly retreating, and they didn't know what happened. What!
