Chapter 448: Jade shatters on the sun, Yingzhou is full of red
"Take Yingzhou!"
"He Longfeng!"
"Take Yingzhou! Congratulate Longfeng!"
The Ming army, wearing armor, with swords and guns in hand, and in neat military formations, kept repeating their shouts.
Thousands of Ming troops roared together, like a landslide and tsunami.
The army fought continuously in front of the army, and its numbers continued to decrease. Even if reinforcements continued to arrive from the rear, the Yoshino family army of the Japanese Southern Dynasty was about to be replenished. The army formation was swaying like a rice field amidst the roar of the Ming army.
The general of the Yoshino family looked at the Ming army formation behind his own formation with complicated eyes, his expression complex and hinting of desolation.
I hate that I can’t be a wise person in this life!
Next to the family general is Yoshinoderama, who has now been completely reduced to a person who only has the power to communicate with the Ming army.
A very strange phenomenon.
Obviously with the help of the Ming army, the war initiated by the Yoshino family of the Southern Dynasty against the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty resulted in the Yoshino family winning consecutive battles and constantly conquering cities and territories.
But Yoshinoderama's status in the family just kept falling.
It seemed that every time the Yoshino family won a victory, occupied and destroyed a city, the Southern Dynasty was one step closer to destruction.
Now, the coalition forces have arrived at the heart of the Ashikaga family. News from the front is that the Ashikaga family has mobilized all the troops from the north and is preparing for the final battle.
Even the Ashikaga family has shouted out that they would rather be with the Northern Dynasty than to be broken into pieces.
Broken jade?
Yoshinoderama couldn't help but look up at the crowded Ming army formation.
Now these Ming troops, who have been stationed in Japan for several years, have the momentum to destroy the city with just a few roars.
It was hard for Yoshinoderama to imagine that the tens of thousands of reinforcements from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, who had just learned recently, would show such terrifying fighting spirit.
"What the people of Ming Dynasty want is the Japanese country, not the things on our land."
The general of the Yoshino family did not direct the upcoming siege battle, but spoke with a solemn tone and the most neat Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Just like the Li family's Korea on the other side, the upper class of the Japanese state also regarded it as fashionable for everyone to speak fluent Ming Mandarin.
Only in this way can they reflect their nobility, which is different from the lower class Japanese.
Yoshinoderama's eyes moved. Family generals rarely spoke Ming Dynasty Mandarin on such occasions. If necessary, it would be at a banquet in Kyoto.
And here is the front of the army formation.
Apart from Yoshinoderama and his subordinates, only the family generals could speak authentic and fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Obviously, this was something the family general did not want his words to be understood by the people in the army.
Yoshinoderama immediately changed into Ming Dynasty Mandarin: "The people of Ming Dynasty are very big, as big as Ming Dynasty."
The family general shook his head, with some helplessness on his face: "They obviously already own the Central Plains and are rich all over the world, so why do they still want to pay attention to this small piece of land like Japan?"
Yoshinoderama smiled bitterly, also unable to understand.
In his previous acquaintance, the people of the Central Plains were always gentle, modest, sincere, and diligent. It seemed that all the beautiful qualities in the world were possessed by Ming people.
They have a tradition of picking up gold and not losing money.
However, now just because of the gold and silver, is the Ming Dynasty going to completely invade the Japanese country indiscriminately?
The family general whispered: "Terama-kun should read the news coming from Kyoto City first and then talk about it."
The general took out a letter from his sleeve.
The words used above are also Chinese characters.
Yoshinoderama took the letter from the family general with both hands, turned it over carefully, and reviewed it carefully.
After taking a breather, a letter was finally read by Yoshinoderama.
"There is also the meaning of broken jade in Kyoto City?"
Yoshinoderama's eyes were filled with fear, and her face was as gloomy as ink.
The family general nodded: "The city of Kyoto is now under the control of the Ming Army, and all family interactions are under the watchful eye of the Ming Army. However, in the palace, the Ming Army still gets along well with them.
The family has been discussing for a long time, even thinking of a way to bring the entire Japanese country to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. But..."
"Just what?"
Yoshinoderama's voice was urgent.
The family general said solemnly: "From the current point of view, what the Ming Dynasty only wants is our land and the Japanese people who were brought to the Ming Dynasty. The family believes that the Ming people will not allow the Yoshino family to continue to rule the Japanese country, but will send Japanese
When officials come, it is like the Jiaozhi Road under the Ming Dynasty today."
"Jiaozhi Road..." Yoshinojima muttered, and continued to widen his eyes. The shock and fear on his face could already flow out: "The Ming Dynasty wants to turn the Japanese country into a land!"
"Otherwise, why would Ming Dynasty send more troops?"
The general of the Yoshino family spoke sadly, with a sad look on his face: "Otherwise, why would they be shouting in unison at Yingzhou at this moment..."
A gust of wind blew.
The war drums in front of the formation were beaten by strong men, and the dull sound of the war drums echoed on the battlefield.
The generals at the front began to urge the soldiers of the Yoshino family to attack the Ashikaga family's city in front.
The originally silent battlefield was awakened in an instant.
Yoshinoderama shivered violently, and then she was surprised to realize that cold sweat had broken out on her back.
…
"got windy."
In the Ming army's formation, Tie Xuan on the supervising platform looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the city and whispered.
Li Jinglong, who was covered in armor, had a long knife on his waist, and a cloak on his shoulders. With one hand on the handle of the knife and the other on his hips, he looked majestic.
Li Jinglong's eyes were calmly staring ahead. The soldiers of the Yoshino family, who had begun to attack the city in accordance with military orders, had begun to fall under the attack at the top of the city, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
"It's on."
Li Jinglong replied lightly.
Tie Xuan looked sideways at the newly promoted general who conquered the east: "The imperial troops will arrive soon. The Japanese want to break the jade, but I'm afraid it will only be today."
"I actually admire the Japanese people's spirit of not fearing life and death." Li Jinglong said in a deep voice, but then shook his head and said: "No! It's not admiration, but concern. If the Japanese people are given enough opportunities to develop on their own, they will definitely
If you are not satisfied with being trapped in this corner of Yingzhou, you will definitely covet the land of the Central Plains."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have been ordered to lead the army away from the capital for several years. I usually accompany Menglang, singing and dancing with good intentions, coveting beauty, and missing my gentle hometown.
However, I am not ignorant of state affairs and do not care about the country. During my travels, I secretly investigate Japanese affairs and feed my ambitions in a small space.
If the imperial court has no intention of conquest today, the Duke of Japan will also commit the same act of arrogance. If the Central Plains is not in turmoil, it will be coveted and taken away by thieves from this corner of Yingzhou."
Tie Xuan has never seen the Cao Guogong in front of him have such a profound consciousness.
He is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, a duke of the country, and a man who can retire with the country without doing anything.
Even if such a family enjoys wealth and honor, Tie Xuan can't say anything.
But today he discovered that Cao Guogong seemed to have just hidden his great ambitions in his heart and pretended to be a playboy.
Tie Xuan asked softly: "So if the northern and southern dynasties of Japan merged and the jade was broken today, has your father-in-law already thought about it?"
Jin Yiwei is very capable.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was all-pervasive, but even in the Japanese country, after several years of development, it had reached the point of being subtle.
The Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty wanted to commit jade shredding, but it had long been reported by the Jinyi guards in the Japanese country.
The direction of the Yoshino family and even the secret discussions in Kyoto City in the Southern Dynasties have been known to Jin Yiwei.
Li Jinglong laughed and said, "Speaking of which, now it's time to call you Iron Minister. According to the news from the capital, all government affairs are now drafted by the cabinet. Dingshi knows about Wenyuan Pavilion, so he will do whatever he wants."
Mr. Ge, as long as you return to the capital and take the merits of destroying the country, you will be informed and drafted soon."
Tie Xuan's face showed a bit of hesitation and embarrassment.
Ever since Li Jinglong played a trick in the Japanese country where the warships of the Ming Dynasty disappeared without a trace, the imperial court received the message and within a few days made a decision to comprehensively manage the Japanese country.
This is completely consistent with Li Jinglong's initial speculation.
The imperial court, or rather His Majesty, His Highness and others, have long had such an idea in their minds, but they just lacked an opportunity to implement it.
Subsequently, the imperial court changed the Japanese-suppressing Japanese Army to the Eastern Expedition Army, and added Cao Guogong as the Eastern Expedition General. The imperial court sent tens of thousands of troops for reinforcements.
Along with the news, there were also what happened in the past few days in the DPRK and Central Government, as well as the news that Tie Xuan had been promoted again.
"While he was not in the capital, he was remembered by the emperor and received a high position. Dingshi was terrified. He had already sworn in his heart that if the Japanese country was not destroyed, Dingshi would not return to his hometown. If the Japanese were not eliminated, Dingshi would not return.
Ming dynasty."
Among the entire Japanese-suppressing army, or the current Eastern Expedition army, Tie Xuan has always been the most elegant, and is called Mr. Iron by all the soldiers. At this moment, his eyes reveal murderous intent, and the cold light is revealed, which makes people dare not look at him.
Look directly.
Li Jinglong raised his hand on his hips and patted Tie Xuan on the shoulder: "Tan Ma is back."
Tie Xuan looked over instantly.
On one side of the city, several military horse scouts were seen galloping over on their horses. The scouts were holding unsheathed swords in their hands, and they kept opening their mouths and shouting something.
Looking from a distance, I saw a trace of red light on the blade, which was enough to prove that these military horse scouts had been fighting.
"The Ashikaga Clan's army is coming!"
Tie Xuan immediately looked at a tall pole erected not far from the battle supervising platform.
On the high pole, there is always a soldier with the best eyesight in the army, holding the pole to watch the scene.
Sure enough, after Tie Xuan said that the army of the Ashikaga clan from the Northern Dynasty of Japan had arrived, the soldiers on the high pole had already held a small red flag that had been stuck on their backs in their hands, raised it high and waved it in the air.
"woo woo woo woo……"
In the Ming army formation, the trumpet sounded.
There are four cowhide drums on each side of the supervising platform, a total of eight cowhide drums. Standing in front of the drums is a drummer with a strong back and a strong waist.
"Prepare for war!"
"Prepare for war!"
"Prepare for war!"
Starting from the commander, military orders were conveyed layer by layer to every flag officer of the Ming army, and finally the military orders to prepare for war were passed to the ears of every soldier.
The huge military formation of the Ming army began to adjust and deform.
The artillery in front of the formation began to be moved by the soldiers of the artillery camp in the direction where the horse scouts were driving back. The muzzles of the artillery that were originally tilted towards the sky and prepared to bombard the city were also flattened.
The dark muzzle was facing the direction behind the horse scouts.
The cavalrymen of the Majun camp put down the visors on their helmets, leaving only a pair of pupils, which swayed from time to time and were exposed to the sun.
A low Japanese horse appeared in the forest in the distance.
On horseback are Japanese soldiers of the same low stature. In their hands are Japanese swords whose shape is derived from the horizontal sword of the former Tang Dynasty.
Japanese horses do not have the same strengths and advantages, but they are more advanced than ordinary soldiers in the Japanese country. The Ashikaga family cavalry lined up, far ahead of the infantry that rushed out from the forest behind.
The offensive and defensive battle under the city continued, but there were no casualties but it was far less serious than the previous siege.
"Is this the beginning?"
In the Yoshino family's military formation, Yoshinoderama looked at the Ashikaga family reinforcements who suddenly appeared outside the city and rushed towards the Ming army's formation, and asked with a surprised expression.
The family general nodded: "It has already begun. Today, the Japanese country would rather be broken into jade than complete. With my blood, I will die bravely, and I will bite off a piece of flesh from Ming Dynasty!"
Yoshinoderama's whole body began to tremble. He shivered uncontrollably and hiccupped.
"A prince of the Ming Dynasty, a minister of the Ministry of War, and more than ten thousand troops, as well as Shijian Silver Mine and Treasure Island. This piece of meat is enough to cause pain to the Ming Dynasty for a long time..."
The general of the Yoshino family, who was determined to die, said with an indifferent expression.
As he finished speaking.
On the entire battlefield, with the Ming army as the core, military flags belonging to the Ashikaga family or the Yoshino family appeared in all directions.
The military flags, one after another, seemed to bind the entire Ming army.
"Samurai of the Yoshino family!"
"Today, even if the jade is broken, I will destroy the Ming people's arrogance!"
The general of the Yoshino family finally drew his sword and roared at the surrounding soldiers.
The soldiers didn't know why they suddenly wanted to go to war with the friendly Ming army, but under the strong demands of the generals, the army quickly changed the direction of attack.
"Blow the drums!"
On the battle supervising platform, Li Jinglong drew out the sword from his waist and pointed angrily at the sky.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The war drums sounded, one after another, and finally the entire battlefield was filled with intensive drumbeats.
"Take Yingzhou!"
"He Longfeng!"
Unlike the Japanese who wanted to break the jade, the slogan of the Ming army has not changed. Even though it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, its purpose remains simple.
Destroy the enemy.
He Sheng.
Repay the King's favor.
Tie Xuan took a spear from the side and held it in his hand.
In just the time it took to make a cup of tea, enemies several times larger than our own had already surrounded the entire battlefield.
Tie Xuan felt that as the newly promoted Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, he should lead by example when in battle.
However, Tie Shilang's idea of going into battle to kill the enemy in person turned out to be a mistake.
There was a bang.
At the outermost edge of the entire battlefield, a cannon shot rang out.
Then I saw a cannonball carrying scorching flames, slamming into the Japanese who were besieging the Ming army.
The projectile landed on the ground and shattered into pieces. The huge air wave overturned countless Japanese people. The broken projectiles tore at the fragile bodies of the Japanese people crazily. In an instant, the sky was full of broken limbs and broken arms, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
That's the Ming Dynasty's artillery!
It's the heavy artillery on the warship of the Ming Navy!
Second only to the latest heavy artillery at Yingtian City!
However, Tie Xuan was not given more time to think.
The entire battlefield was filled with the sound of artillery fire, and angry artillery fire covered the surroundings of the Ming army's formation.
The entire sky was covered with blood in the blink of an eye, and the sky was dyed red.
