Zhu Di and Zhu Fan attacked Fengqian City together and fought for twelve days but failed to capture it.
But news came that Zhuqian City had been destroyed by Yao Guangxiao.
This news was true and both Zhu Di and Zhu Fan were stunned for a while.
In terms of time and the speed of the exchange of news, it actually took Yao Guangxiao less than eight days to build the Qiancheng.
It wasn't until I checked the military report that I realized why it happened so quickly.
It turned out that when Yao Guangxiao attacked Zhuqian City, he had already guessed that Fengqian City would have troops coming to support him, which coincided with Zhu Di's idea.
Therefore, Yao Guangxiao had already sent personnel to investigate on the road.
After detecting the troops coming from Bunzen Castle, they immediately set up an ambush.
This kind of duel on the plains really shouldn't be too simple for Zhang Yu with 30,000 troops.
The Japanese soldiers, who were 1.4 meters tall, looked like paper lakes in front of the tall and mighty Ming army. When the two armies fought, the Ming army felt like they were beating up a group of children.
That means that just like lions entering a flock of sheep and killing them arbitrarily, the Japanese soldiers have no power to resist at all.
In less than an hour, 30,000 Japanese soldiers beheaded 8,000, captured nearly 20,000, and some fled in disarray.
After capturing this group of Japanese soldiers, Yao Guangxiao directly came to use a trick, brainwashed the captured Japanese soldiers, and mixed in short Ming soldiers to trick the Japanese soldiers into opening the city gate.
The Japanese army didn't think much about it. When they saw support coming, they naturally opened the city gates to welcome them.
Although at first glance it seemed that the body proportions were a bit off, it was already dusk when we arrived and it was half dark, so it was hard to see clearly.
Coupled with the familiar Japanese language, I didn't think much about it.
This allowed the city gate to be quickly occupied by the army led by Wei Guang arranged by Yao Guangxiao.
Without the support of the city, the Japanese soldiers were like fish on a sticky board to the Ming and Goryeo armies, to be slaughtered at their own pace.
"It seems that Dao Yan is really quite capable. No wonder the grandson took him away from you in the first place."
Zhu Fan said with a hint of sarcasm.
Everyone knew that Zhu Ying had taken away Master Daoyan, but to most people, Taisun's move was just to retaliate against Zhu Di for intimidating him in Peiping.
Now Zhu Fan knew that this Dao Yan was really capable, but it was just a monk who had such good timing.
Zhu Di ignored Zhu Fan's sarcasm and said instead: "Tonight, my general Zhang Yu will lead 10,000 troops and arrive with 8,000 Japanese captives. The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit. There is no news yet in Fengqian City, so he
Do it again."
When Zhu Fan heard this, he nodded and said, "This plan is acceptable."
That night.
The Japanese soldiers on the city wall watched the outside of the city vigilantly, even though they were exhausted at the moment, they did not relax at all.
"Don't worry, the Ming army will definitely not attack the city at night." The Japanese soldier next to him said with a yawn.
The Japanese soldiers on duty also looked at the dark outside of the city, leaned against the city wall and said, "These Ming troops are really hateful. Now that our Japanese country has surrendered, they are still coming to attack the city."
"This is obviously an attempt to take advantage of this opportunity to rob money. It is really abominable."
The Japanese soldier next to him became a little more energetic after hearing this: "Don't worry too much. According to the current situation, although the Ming army is very powerful, it will take at least two or three months to break through our city.
.”
"The names have been spoken today. In at least half a month, orders will be sent from the Ming Dynasty to make these Ming troops retreat, and then the war will be over."
The previous Japanese soldiers heard this and replied angrily: "These Ming troops are simply too greedy. Their emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already negotiated with our emperor, and now they are coming to attack the city. They clearly want to rob us of our money."
.”
"When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty finds out about this, he will definitely punish them severely."
When another Japanese soldier heard this, he shook his head and said: "Haven't you heard? These Ming army officers are the sons of the Ming Emperor. That's why they dare to do this. The punishment will probably only be a few words of reprimand. If they are really captured,
,Then there's no way."
"Maybe after he goes back, the emperor of Ming Dynasty will praise his son for his greatness."
Hearing this, the Japanese soldiers next to him were a little discouraged.
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside the city wall.
It's Japanese.
The two of them quickly looked down and saw several people on the edge of the city wall in the dark night.
Then he asked in Japanese: "Who is down there?"
"You are so outrageous that you can't even hear the voice of me, Rui Ren Tanita. You should immediately notify Daimyo Sanada to open the city gate."
Hearing the voice below, the two Japanese soldiers immediately recognized the name of Tanita Daimyo.
However, they had no control over opening the city gate, so they quickly went to report to the Sanada Daimyo who was guarding the city.
What they couldn't see was that there was a dark figure next to Gutian Ruiren. It was a member of Jinyiwei. Because of the language, naturally only people from Jinyiwei who were proficient in language could be guarding the side.
Except for Tanita Ruihi who is a real Japanese, the surroundings are all fake.
Not long after, Daimyo Sanada's voice came from the rooftop.
"Is it Tanita-kun?"
"it's me."
"Why are you back? What's going on over there in Chichizen?"
"The city was built and destroyed. I was ambushed by the Ming army on the road and lost 10,000 soldiers."
Hearing this, Daimyo Sanada was shocked and said: "There are thirty thousand soldiers in Chikuzen. How could it be defeated all at once?"
Tanita Ruihito said: "It's artillery. The name of Xiaoshan is careless. I don't know the details. I just heard it from the samurai who escaped over there."
After hearing the news, Daimyo Sanada became nervous, but the arrival of Tanita Ruihito also gave him a lot of confidence.
He was able to hold on originally, but now that he has nearly 20,000 more soldiers, he can naturally hold on longer.
Now and Gutian Ruiren will open the south gate and enter the city half an hour later.
Half an hour later, the south gate of Bunzen Castle.
When the city gate opened, the Japanese soldiers who had been waiting outside poured in, but among them were many tall figures.
Immediately the Japanese soldiers guarding the city discovered something was wrong.
"Damn it, this Japanese armor is really killing me."
There was a loud curse, which was the Chinese language of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese suddenly started shouting loudly.
However, it was of no use. Dense black shadows kept coming from the distance. The Japanese soldiers who had entered the city earlier showed no mercy to their compatriots and started killing them with swords in hand.
Even before the Ming army took action, the city gate was almost captured.
The sound of fighting rang out. The Sanada Daimyo did not expect this to deceive the city gate. He roared: "Tanida Ruihito, you beast, how dare you betray the emperor and join the Ming army."
A ferocious smile appeared on Tanita Ruihi's face, and he said viciously: "The emperor has already surrendered to the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Why can't I surrender? I advise you to surrender as well and surrender the city."
"I am following His Highness Prince Yan. He is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and his status is more noble than the emperor. If you are interested, I will introduce you to him."
That's what he said, but in fact Tanita Ruihi also knew in his heart that the Sanada Daimyo would never surrender, because Bunzen Castle is the city of the Sanada family and a place that has been enshrined for generations. Even the shogun cannot order the Sanada Daimyo.
.
Sure enough, along with Sanada Daiming's roar of filial piety, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed to the city gate to prevent Tanita Ruihito and the Ming army from entering.
It was just before dawn, when the darkness was thickest, and the soldiers of the Ming army could not enter too quickly.
Zhu Di and Zhu Fan in the rear could not see the situation in front.
It's just this opportunity that Zhu Di and Zhu Fan will never let go, and the army will directly press on it.
The Sanada Daimyo also continuously mobilized samurai from other gates to support the south gate.
Finally, after three quarters of an hour, dawn rose in the sky, the darkness continued to dissipate, and the surrounding scene began to become clear.
At this moment, the face of Sanada Daimyo also showed a look of despair.
Rumble.
.
It was not the sound of thunder, but the sound of galloping war horses. After the light came out, six thousand cavalry rushed over quickly, bows and arrows bent, and they immediately caused huge casualties to the Japanese soldiers defending the city.
Zhu Di, Zhu Fan looked ecstatic.
At this point, the battle is basically decided.
With the elite cavalry dismounted, the Japanese soldiers defending the city were no match for them.
The differences in stature, armament, and personal strength are not at the same level at all.
After more than a dozen cavalrymen dismounted and fought on foot, they pushed all the way forward. Even the two or three Japanese soldiers under Yi Dao could not catch up.
But when the Japanese soldiers' swords came over, they couldn't even break through the armor.
Protecting his own vital points, the feudal prince's personal guards pressed directly on him, causing the Japanese soldiers to retreat steadily.
The Ming army in the rear pressed directly on them.
"Brothers, the broken city is right in front of us, rush!
!”
With the roar from the front, the morale of the soldiers at the rear became even higher.
Soon the entire city gate was occupied by the Ming army.
After the city gate was lost, a large number of Ming troops continued to advance. In a head-on confrontation, one Ming army had no problem defeating seven or eight Japanese soldiers.
Especially now that the momentum of the Japanese soldiers has dropped significantly, they are almost on the verge of collapse.
Only the samurai of the Sanada family were still persisting.
But this has no effect. The Ming army entering the city is invincible, pushing forward all the way, and has no ability to resist in terms of personal force alone.
Fighting began to spread throughout the city. It was said to be a fight, but in fact it was a one-sided massacre.
When their morale collapsed, the Japanese soldiers began to disperse. They only wanted to escape and were unable to organize a strong resistance at all.
All the Japanese people closed their doors and hid, and the main streets in all directions were occupied by the Ming army.
After nearly two hours, the siege came to an end.
Zhu Di and Zhu Fan rode tall horses side by side and slowly entered the city. Sanada Daimyo had already been tied up and kowtowed to the ground.
At this time, Sanada Daimyo would naturally no longer struggle needlessly. His face was filled with a charming smile, which was completely different from the desperate fight just now.
The next day.
A large number of Japanese people began to slowly leave the city with salutes.
The purpose of Zhu Di and Zhu Fan was not to occupy, but to move.
Among them, the relocated objects were mainly young people and women from the Japanese country. The elderly and children were not included in the forced relocation.
On the second day after the city was captured, military orders were sent from Feng Sheng, and the envoys from the capital had arrived in Japan.
However, the soldier who delivered the letter said that the envoy from the capital was very tired from traveling a long distance and had to rest for a day before reading the edict from the capital.
Therefore, there are still three days left for Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Shu.
But obviously, Zhu Shu's side has no meaning anymore.
In total, the siege by Qi King Zhu Su was the most brutal, with the death toll alone reaching 30,000.
However, the casualties were not on the side of the Ming army.
Zhu Shu is a ruthless person.
He forcibly coerced the Japanese people to attack the city, as well as the samurai who had previously surrendered to him.
"These Japanese people deserve to be damned for being so lazy!"
Zhu Su looked at the city gate and said with a gloomy face.
After fighting for more than ten days, nothing gained was gained. Even thousands of soldiers under his command were killed or wounded.
The news of the destruction of Chikuzen and Toyozen castles had already reached Zhu Shu, which made Zhu Shu feel even more unhappy.
However, the arrival of the imperial edict from the capital also made Zhu Shu understand that he had no chance.
However, Zhu Shu felt much more comfortable when he remembered that Bunqian Castle was defeated by the combination of the third brother and the fourth brother, plus the use of tactics.
Zhu Shu, with a gloomy face, went to Zhu Neng: "You have to tell the fourth brother that he cannot take advantage of it alone. I know that he is on the third brother's side. Maybe he will get a smaller share, but Zhuqian City will definitely get a bigger share."
."
"No matter how much it is, you must always make up for it."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he immediately replied bitterly: "His Royal Highness, King Qi, I cannot be the master of this matter."
Zhu Shu waved his hand: "I didn't let you make the decision, just pass the words on. Of course the fourth brother understands what I mean."
"By the way, remember to tell Fourth Brother that although my seventh brother is not as smart as Fourth Brother, I don't know anything. From now on, we will mostly live in the same river. We can't see what we see when we look up. It's boring to just eat for ourselves.
Already."
Zhu Neng nodded quickly: "The general will definitely make it clear to the prince what His Highness Prince Qi said."
...
An edict from the capital came, ordering Feng Sheng, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Jin Zhu Fan, and King of Qi Zhu Shu to return to the capital.
Just leave the garrison in three cities as per the rules.
On a sea ship.
Feng Sheng looked at the retreating Japanese country, his face full of relaxation.
Ever since he arrived in Japan, Feng Sheng had been worried, fearing that something might happen to the three feudal kings.
On the other hand, he strictly abides by the orders of His Highness the Grand Sun, never acts without authorization, and focuses on stability.
Now that the affairs of Japan have come to an end, it is time for him to return to the capital to enjoy his blessings.
In Feng Sheng's current eyes, military power is like poison, and he has no intention of contaminating it at all.
He has finally seen through it. On the higher-ups side, if anyone always focuses on military power, there will definitely be no good results.
Your Highness, Taisun, is not someone to be trifled with.
Zhu Di found his seventh brother Zhu Shu on the ship:
"Seventh brother, just don't worry. Fourth brother will definitely not miss your share. We have already arranged for someone to send it away."
When Zhu Shu heard this, he also smiled and said: "With the words of the fourth brother, I feel relieved. I think the fourth brother will definitely not treat his younger brother badly."
