There are no fixed toilets at Kagoshima Pier. They are so dirty that you can step on feces and urine if you are not careful. Coupled with the mixed smell of fish, it is simply unpleasant.
However, there is a saying that "you can stay in an abalone shop for a long time without smelling the smell". These Japanese people have become accustomed to this custom and smell, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.
Standing on the shore of the pier, facing the vast sea, an ashigaru didn't even unbutton his pants. There happened to be a hole next to him, so he started peeing. It was okay at first when the power was strong, but he peed anyway.
In the sea, a gentle sea breeze blew slowly, and the urine scattered back was all over his feet.
"Bagaya road!" He jumped and dodged twice, but was blown back more. He looked down at his feet covered in urine, muttered a few curse words, stamped his clogs hard, bent down and stretched out his hands randomly.
After wiping it on, I felt it was no longer so wet, so I straightened up.
He raised his hand to his nose, frowned and smelled, "Ah~, Yoxi!"
With many years of experience, he judged with certainty that he was doing well recently and was not angry!
He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly he was stunned. He was not sure what he saw was real. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked again, damn, it turned out to be real!
Dozens of large ships were heading here in the distance. They were just inconspicuous little black spots at first, and slowly became bigger and bigger. He swore that with his many years of experience, this ship was bigger and faster than ordinary ones.
!
"Isn't the trading season over? Why are there still so many big ships coming?" I wondered in my heart. It was okay anyway, so I didn't care about the urine that had just been spilled on the ground. I sat there with my neck raised and looked at it.
At this time, not only the ashigaru who released the water saw it, but many other people patrolling the port also saw this huge fleet.
More and more people noticed the situation here, and they gathered in chaotic groups and curiously discussed where the ship came from and what it was doing. No one noticed the slightest danger.
No wonder they were not vigilant. The Japanese country did not have such a large ship and could not build it. Such a huge ship was bigger than the Ming Dynasty ships they had seen, so it must be imported.
As for outsiders, they have always come to my "Great Japanese Country" to trade, without exception.
As the ship got closer and closer, the Japanese people watching were even more surprised.
This is too big!
It's so big, can you get in?
Look down and see, it's too small, can't you get in?
Not only the Japanese discovered this, but Wang Xuan also discovered it through a telescope from a distance. It was too big to get in!
With an order, the formation was changed, and the warships with a displacement of 1,000 tons began to approach the troop transport. A large number of soldiers crossed over via cables, with uniform and smooth movements. In just ten minutes, more than a hundred soldiers crossed each warship.
people.
Ten warships began to speed up and approach the port. Wang Xuan, who came with him, looked at the Japanese people who were busy watching the excitement, and directly ordered: "Prepare the crossbows, fire a salvo, and clear the port obstacles!"
Don't worry about the inevitable casualties during the rescue process.
After receiving the order, a group of soldiers approached the bow of the ship one after another. At this time, the Japanese people on the dock also realized that something was wrong. The service of this person was too neat. Looking at their clothes, they were clearly from the Ming Dynasty. Although they had never seen this kind of clothes, they
Their intuition told them that this was Akito's army!
I don’t know who shouted first, and suddenly the whole dock was in chaos. However, there was no so-called general on the dock. These people were running around like headless flies. The warships approached the dock, and they kept shouting.
The arrows fell, and screams suddenly sounded on the pier. In just a few minutes, there were only corpses and alive Japanese on the ground within a hundred meters of the shore of the pier.
"Dong dong dong..." The soldiers kept jumping off the warship and did not chase the fleeing Japanese soldiers. Instead, they neatly formed a military formation on the dock to clear a safe area for the army that would follow.
space.
Wang Xuan stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the miserable Japanese soldiers, shaking his head and sneering, "Does a group of people like this deserve to be called an army? How ridiculous!"
"Cao Wenzhao!"
"My subordinate is here."
"Take some people and kill them, then watch the response."
"My subordinates take orders!" After saying that, he jumped off the bow of the boat and directly chased those people as a team.
At this moment, the chaos on the dock finally attracted the generals of the Shimazu family. Under the scolding of more than a hundred samurai led by him, they successively killed hundreds of soldiers running around, and finally gradually calmed down the chaotic crowd.
Come down.
When Cao Wenzhao led his men to kill them, the remaining four thousand Japanese Ashigaru finally managed to organize their troops. The general of the Shimazu family and more than a hundred warriors stood at the front of the array and watched as they came over in unison.
The Qianduo Mingjun couldn't help but swallowed.
Although Baga only had a team of about a thousand people, his momentum completely overwhelmed the more than 4,000 people on his side. What made his heart tremble the most was the opponent's equipment. He was covered in armor, with a steel shield in his left hand and a steel knife in his right hand, like a steel monster.
He generally pressed towards his side.
The momentum was like a mountain, and it also carried a rolling murderous aura. Thousands of people were like one, so he didn't know how to start.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, the general finally couldn't bear the pressure and shouted loudly, "Give me the press!" and took the lead in charging.
Looking at the generals who rushed in first, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but be stunned. A strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. The generals who led the troops rushed first. This kind of thing no longer existed in the Ming Dynasty. It was only in the storyteller's words.
I have heard about things that only happened in the Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
I can't help but feel my blood boiling when I look at it!
When it comes to the people of the Japanese country, let alone Ashigaru and the like, just the generals and samurai, their morale is at full level at all times, they charge to kill the enemy, regardless of life or death.
Cao Wenzhao firmly suppressed the idea of rushing out, knowing that his duty as a leading general was to lead the soldiers, not to show off a moment of bravery.
With the charge from the opposite side, the distance is getting closer and closer, two hundred steps, one hundred steps...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Prepare - shoot!"
A roar was followed by a scream of arrow clusters rubbing against the air!
"mean!"
There was an angry shout, and then there was the clang of swords and arrows. Even if these warriors got the Ming Dynasty, they could still compete with the fourth-rate masters in the world, and they could still resist the rain of arrows.
.
However, with more than a hundred people facing a volley of fire from thousands of people, it was useless to kill one or two. There was a "Puff" sound, and then there was the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, and pieces of blood burst out from the bodies of more than a hundred warriors, right?
There is one in perfect condition.
Then he saw a shower of blood bursting from the bodies of more than a hundred warriors charging forward. With more than a hundred people facing a volley of fire from a thousand people, there was no chance of surviving.
"Tsk, tsk." Cao Wenzhao made two sounds of unknown meaning, which seemed to be regretful and disdainful. He looked up and looked at the ashigaru who were charging behind the samurai just now, and saw the ashigaru who were huddled together after the samurai team was wiped out in an instant.
There was a flash of disdain.
Without even greeting the soldiers behind him, Cao Wenzhao strode out of the queue. With just one step, the four thousand Japanese ashigaru in the opposite direction were so frightened that they all took a step back. If you dare to take a step forward again, I will run to show you.
The look made Cao Wenzhao laugh.
Too lazy to pay attention to these guys, Cao Wenzhao came to the Japanese general. The man was hit by three arrows, but because he was wearing iron armor, he was still alive. When he saw Cao Wenzhao approaching, he still struggled to raise his head and used a few words.
Ming Dynasty, who seemed a little stiff, said in Mandarin: "You have no bushido spirit, you are despicable, shameless and vile, and you actually attack with arrows!"
"This is not a sneak attack. How can it be called a sneak attack if something happens in war?"
"Pfft~" Lao Gao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he swallowed his last breath, dying with eyes closed.
"Hey..." Cao Wenzhao stretched out his hand and sighed helplessly. He died before he could explain the truth clearly...
He waved his hands with some hesitation, calmed down his mood, looked up again at the ashigaru who were ready to escape, frowned in disgust, and loudly ordered, "Limited to two miles, the entire army will pursue them and kill without mercy!"
With a wave of his hand, the team of thousands of people immediately charged forward. The ashigaru were like 'electric rabbits', running away at an impossible speed in an instant.
…
More than a month ago, Wang Xuan's advance team completely wiped out the Japanese in the Ryukyu Kingdom. A small number of samurai who fled back to the country naturally let the Shimadzu family know the relevant news.
Although Ryukyu Kingdom is not rich in products, its rice production is a good supplement to the Shimadzu family. Naturally, the Shimadzu family will not let this place be taken away so easily, even if they know that it was the Ming Dynasty that captured Ryukyu Kingdom.
The army and the Shimadzu family didn't take it seriously either.
In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was just a decayed giant. In the past hundred years, Japanese warriors could go to the land of the Ming Dynasty to burn, kill, loot, and take whatever they wanted at any time. Most of them were invited by the Ming Dynasty, and dozens of people could fight.
Thousands of people on the other side fled in panic, and those so-called Japanese warriors were just ronin who couldn't live in their own country!
People who escaped said that the reason why Ryukyu was defeated by the Ming Dynasty was because there were only a small number of ashigaru stationed there and they were scattered in various places. This gave the Ming Dynasty people a chance, and the other side used the surprise attack even more despicably.
Their method was to use more to bully the smaller ones. Even if they were defeated, they would only kill several times the number of enemies before they were all exhausted.
It's not that their Japanese warriors are not strong enough, it's just that they don't have as many people as they need.
With this judgment, Shimazu Tadaaki mobilized all five thousand ashigaru in the country this time to prepare for a counterattack against the Ming Dynasty. If everything goes well, he will go to the coast of the Ming Dynasty to plunder, and he will definitely gain a lot!
The reason why I came up with this idea is because I received news last month that the second generation of the Tokugawa Shogunate reached an agreement with the big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, receiving 800,000 kilograms of good iron as a benefit, and sent 8,000 people.
Go to the Ming Dynasty to rob.
Thinking about it makes people envious. Not only are there benefits for sending troops, but traitors are also cooperating to provide information. It is unimaginable how many good things can be obtained this time. Every time he thinks about this problem, he is angry that he has lost the opportunity to make a fortune.
What an opportunity!
However, Shimazu Tadaaki is in a good mood recently. People from the Ming Dynasty happened to attack the Ryukyu Kingdom. After sending troops to defeat the Ming army this time, he can mercifully allow them to surrender to him. When the time comes, he will use these people to lead the way.
You can have a good time burning, killing and looting in Daming.
I don’t know what blinded his eyes, making him naively think that he would return safely after going to Ming Dynasty to wreak havoc!
