Breaking camp and moving, the waves hit the shore.
Aye Shiwei looked at Ming Jun who was beaming and relaxed his vigilance, with a hint of cold viciousness deep in his eyes.
Rokujo Tokihi had a smile on his face. He bowed in front of the Ming army passing by, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to Ano Minoru on the side: "The Ming army is indeed mighty. The black iron barrels they hold in their hands are firearms, right?"
Ano nodded: "It must be so. I saw that there were no boxes they were carrying. There were gunpowder bombs there. This is the same as what the fleeing sergeants said. This group of people obviously went to Kyoto to accept the surrender, but they still carried He has a lot of firearms, so he seems to be on guard."
Rokujo Tokihi's expression became solemn and he whispered: "In this case, we..."
"Don't say too much."
Ano Minoru interrupted Rokujo Tokihi, looked at the Ming army general who came over, and stepped forward to flatter him.
Xu Shouwen put down the telescope and said to Chen Dasheng, Zhao Shiyu and others on the side: "Judging from the expressions of these two people, they did not really surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Shiyu sharpened his knife and raised his head: "True surrender is based on destruction. Today, the shogunate's army is still there, and the dormant power of Houguishan has not been damaged much. I want them to kneel down willingly and obey, haha, The fire in Sakai Port alone is not enough.”
Shen Wei took a sip of water, shook the water bag, and there was no water drop: "Don't worry, our Navy has encountered such a thing as false surrender, and luck does not exist here. It's just that if Hou Guishan resists the Ming Dynasty, What’s the benefit to him? He won’t be unaware of the power of Ming Dynasty.”
"Who said that Hou Guishan rebelled against the Ming Dynasty?"
Luo Guanying walked in and dug into the camp to take a peek.
Xu Shouwen and others are very dissatisfied. Don't you know how to hide in the haystack to observe?
Zhao Shiyu glanced at Luo Guanying, but did not get up: "You mean, Hou Guishan also found a scapegoat?"
Luo Guanying took out his sword and threw it to Zhao Shiyu: "Sharpen the swords! The general said that if everything is calm in Kyoto, then if it is haunted, then kill all these devils!"
"Japanese? Haha, that's quite appropriate!"
Shen Wei relaxed.
A sudden change occurred in Kyoto. The three forces fought for it, and the winner was determined in an instant. But the one who holds the fruits of victory is the Houguishan faction who has never shown an advantage.
The fact that such an inconspicuous person suddenly gained power only shows that his strength was misjudged from the beginning.
Hou Guishan has been an oriole once. Now that he is full, the next step will definitely be to fly instead of continuing to jump on the ground and kowtow.
Even if there is an attack on the Ming army in Kyoto, such as an assassination or something, Go Kameyama can push the shogunate out as a shield. After all, he has just taken control of the situation, and there is reason to say that people loyal to the shogunate will not obey orders.
What's more, if Hou Xiaosong is gone, the Ming shogunate will definitely not stay. Hou Guishan is the only place where he can appease and control Japan's talkers. He is confident that the Ming army will not kill him.
Zhao Shiyu took out Luo Guanying's waist knife and stood aside: "If Hou Guishan really has different intentions, he will only have one chance, and this chance must be related to the geographical advantage."
Luo Guanying nodded slightly: "That's right! Yang Rong and Yang Shangshu also said that this kind of geographical advantage is difficult to find, but the land of Kyoto is similar to the Guanzhong Plain. There are many mountains around it. Although these mountains are low, there are still some
Some good places to rely on. When entering Kyoto this time, all troops must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so that they can see our laxity and lack of preparedness on the outside. "
Xu Shouwen used the telescope to look at Ano Minoru and Rokujo Tokihi in the distance, and said with a smile: "They won't think that every cold look and every sneer is under our surveillance. Look, Damn it, how dare he pout!"
Luo Guanying ignored Xu Shouwen, a voyeur, and left after half an hour. He also needed to discuss the preparations for Jiyi Bay with Zhu Neng, Xu An and others.
The Ming Dynasty navy can enter Kyoto, but the treasure ships and large fortune ships cannot go there. An army must be left here.
Xu An solved the problem of the safety of the remaining troops simply and crudely: "All sergeants get on board, the ship stores energy, and is ready for war. Once someone attacks, block it if you can, and retreat to the sea if you can't block it."
Zheng He, Zhu Neng, and Luo Guanying all agreed with this approach.
After all, the shore defense has a large scope and scattered manpower. If someone comes over in a hive, it is likely to be accompanied by some damage. Rather than that, it is better to retreat to the sea. No matter how many Japanese there are, it is impossible to defeat the Ming Navy above the water, but the Ming Navy can easily counterattack and conduct a vivid artillery practice.
Ten thousand troops, 3,000 in the front, were put under the command of Luo Guanying, Zhao Shiyu, Wan Qinglin and others, 3,000 in the rear were put under the command of Zhu Neng, Xu An and others, and 4,000 in the center were led by Zheng He himself.
The army began to march towards Kyoto.
Anoshi found an excuse to leave the Ming army first. Zheng He did not stop him. Rokujo Tokihi stayed with Luo Guanying and others to lead the way.
obviously,
The six roads led by Shi Xi are somewhat different from the paths mastered by Ming Dynasty, because the distance has increased a lot.
After marching for more than sixty miles for one day, the Ming army had not yet seen the shadow of the great city of Kyoto.
Rokujo Tokihi explained that this is an easy road to walk. Although other roads are close, they require climbing over mountains and ridges. It is difficult to walk. I am also doing it for your own good. Although it goes a little further, it is better to be safe. This is not, I've been taking you to the flat ground, right?
Luo Guanying nodded: "Everything you said is right."
Therefore, the Ming army, which rested for a night, advanced again the next day under the leadership of Rokujo Tokihiro, and this time, it began to approach the mountainous area.
Rokujo Tokihiro became happy: "After climbing over this mountain, we arrived at Lake Biwa. Go Kameyama, Ashikaga Yoshimochi and others are now preparing to welcome us at Lake Biwa."
Luo Guanying nodded: "You said it very well."
A cavalryman galloped back and said to Luo Guanying, Wan Qinglin and others: "To the west are the Suzuka Mountains, to the east are the Yoro Mountains, and in the middle is a plain. There is no way to go at the end of the two mountains, we can only climb over the mountains. Besides, there are no ambushes in the mountains.”
Zhao Shiyu, Shen Wei and others raised their brows slightly.
Rokujo Shixi, who was extremely nervous just now, instantly relaxed and said with a smile: "How could there be an ambush? We surrender in good faith. With the power of the sky, it is not a matter of a word to kill us..."
Luo Guanying looked at the mountains in the distance, smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Rokujo Toki, and grinned and said, "You did a good job."
As soon as Rokujo Tokihi smiled, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He lowered his head and looked over, only to see a sharp and sharp thing appear on his chest, with a belt exposed.
The cold light of blood was slowly withdrawn from the chest, passed through the body, and was withdrawn behind him.
Pain afferent nerves.
Rokujo Shixi turned around with difficulty and looked at the Ming general behind him. This man seemed to be named Wan Qinglin, but why?
Luo Guanying said nothing.
Shen Wei, Zhao Shiyu and others will not tell Rokujo Shixi that the order the scouts received is: if there is an ambush, pause and say there is no ambush. If there is no ambush, there is no need to pause.
This arrangement is also for the six Shixi dogs to jump over the wall and hurt people.
Luo Guanying looked at the scout: "How is the mountain ahead?"
The scout said: "The mountain is quite steep, and there is a danger of huge rocks rolling down. In addition, the forest in front is dense, which is not conducive to the use of firearms. It is difficult to say how many ambush soldiers there are, but with the help of telescopes, there are not a few ambush soldiers in the mountain."
Luo Guanying chuckled and said to Shen Wei, Zhao Shiyu and others on the side: "These Japs are actually playing ambush warfare, that's all, let's play with them once. Zheng Huai, Wan Qinglin, you bring a thousand I will be the vanguard and lead them here. I will stay in this spacious place to meet the general and wait for work. Remember, you must not be too fond of fighting."
Zheng Huai and Wan Qinglin led the troops out and marched ten miles before finally seeing the frightening ambush circle.
This is indeed a natural ambush battlefield. There are mountains on the east, west and north sides, and the mountains are densely forested. The mountain road is slightly steep, and it is not easy to climb up the mountain.
Once their retreat is blocked, the Ming army will be completely surrounded in this canyon area and will have to fight the enemy in close combat!
The greatest enemy-killing weapon of the Ming Dynasty was firearms, but firearms were not omnipotent. In such an area, it was indeed difficult to use firearms.
It was enough to completely defeat the Japanese charge. Once they were caught in a fight, they were likely to be in trouble due to their small number.
Wan Qinglin grinned: "These devils are really cunning! If we hadn't been more careful, I'm afraid a tough battle would have been inevitable!"
Zheng Huai nodded solemnly: "This Houguishan has been dormant for many years. The fact that he can control the situation at this moment shows that his mind and means are extraordinary. He can choose this place to ambush us. I guess he is well prepared. Look at the mountains and forests. , it shouldn’t be a problem to ambush 50,000 troops. With such arrogant ambitions, this land will never have peace until people like this die!"
Wan Qinglin laughed loudly: "Since they have done such a thing, how can we keep him? Don't worry, this time the general will definitely lead us to a bloodbath in Kyoto!"
Although Zheng Huai and Wan Qinglin had never studied in a theater, they were obviously good at acting. After the two led people into the ambush circle, they suddenly panicked and shouted, "There is an ambush" and "Run!" Then the army was in chaos, and everyone cooperated very closely. You bumped into me, and I bumped into you. It was very hasty. Occasionally, people dropped their spears or long knives, and some also threw away their muskets...
The army was frightened and began to flee back.
Aye Shiwei, who saw this scene on the mountain, shouted "No!". He had no time to wait for all Zheng He's troops to move in, and hurriedly ordered: "Kill!"
Seventy thousand ambushes came out from all directions.
Zheng Huai, Wan Qinglin and others ran fast enough. They ran out before the Japanese army blocked the retreat, and shot many Japanese soldiers who wanted to intercept them.
A thousand Ming troops are all good long-distance runners.
Just run away if you throw away your armor. Anyway, throw this thing to
The Japanese army is only temporary, and it will be the same if you pick it up later.
The embarrassed appearance of the Ming army further stimulated the Japanese army to pursue them.
Luo Guanying, Zheng He, and Zhu Neng have already laid wooden stakes in a relatively open area in the south and are waiting quietly...
