With a clang, the spear in Yu Dayou's hand hit the katana in Fujiwara Kimonori's hand, and a powerful force swept over him. The katana in Fujiwara Kimonori's hand flew out immediately, and the whole person stepped back again and again, knocking someone away.
The famous family warrior just stabilized his figure.
"My lord, go quickly!"
I saw several warriors howling and rushing towards Yu Dayou, and at the same time yelling at Mr. Fujiwara.
Duke Fujiwara turned around and left, while those samurai were killed on the spot by Yu Dayou with three strikes.
At this time, a steady stream of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed out of the canyon. It must be said that the failure of the ten-nation coalition to block the passage of the canyon doomed the outcome of this battle.
Perhaps at the beginning, they could gain the upper hand with their superior numbers. It can even be said that if there were no follow-up reinforcements, even the thousands of vanguard troops led by Chang Kui might be wiped out.
But behind Chang Kui, there are tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and horses as a backing, especially since the army is only a dozen miles away from the vanguard. At this distance, as long as the vanguard army can sustain it for an hour or two,
Reinforcements can arrive in time.
When a steady stream of Ming soldiers and horses entered the battlefield, the pressure on the originally endangered vanguard army gradually decreased. On the contrary, the Japanese soldiers found that the morale of the Ming soldiers on the opposite side suddenly became high, and more and more new faces appeared on the battlefield.
In their sight.
After all, these Japanese soldiers could not overlook the entire battlefield, nor could they know that Ming reinforcements were continuously arriving on the battlefield.
But these ordinary soldiers on the battlefield couldn't notice it, but the top brass of the Ten-Nation Allied Forces, especially the famous names of several countries, were able to notice this.
Through the telescope, you can see a steady stream of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty entering the battlefield through the canyon.
The sun was setting in the west. It had been several hours since the Japanese Allied Forces ambush the vanguard troops of the Ming Dynasty. The morale of the Japanese Allied Forces, which was originally high, was gradually declining.
These Japanese soldiers were not fools. Gradually, these soldiers also discovered that something was wrong with the Ming army on the opposite side. The number of the Ming army on the opposite side was actually getting larger and larger, rather than getting smaller and smaller.
In their impression, when they charged earlier, the Ming army actually only had a few thousand people. However, after fighting for so long, no matter how high the proportion of casualties was, the Ming army on the opposite side should have collapsed.
There was a loud bang, and suddenly there was a loud noise from a distance.
One after another, simply modified artillery carts were pushed over.
More than a dozen cannons, or large squatting cannons, were mounted on the artillery cart, which were modified by the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry in accordance with Chu Yi's requirements.
Naturally, the power of these cannons cannot be compared with those of the general cannons. However, compared with the weight of the general cannons, which can weigh several thousand kilograms or even thousands of kilograms, these improved large tiger squatting cannons only weigh a few hundred kilograms. Although it is said that
It's just as heavy, but at least it's much easier to move than those cannons.
More than a dozen cannons were lined up and roaring.
The lethality of artillery may not be as high as the fighting between these soldiers, but it has to be said that the impact of artillery on the morale of Japanese soldiers is very great.
If the morale of the Japanese allied soldiers was already at an extremely low level before, now with the sound of artillery, all the Japanese soldiers who noticed the Ming army's shelling suddenly panicked.
I don't know who started, but the Japanese soldiers who had reluctantly launched a charge under the urging of those big names suddenly lost their courage and even dropped their weapons and turned around and ran away.
The reaction of these Japanese soldiers was beyond the expectations of the Japanese daimyo who were supervising the battle. Relying on family warriors to suppress them, the existence of several Japanese daimyo was the direct reason why these Japanese soldiers persisted for so long.
If it were not for the intimidation of these notorious family warriors, those Japanese soldiers, who were equivalent to farmers who took up arms, would have collapsed long ago.
"Baga, whoever dares to retreat will be killed..."
Dozens of family warriors protected the daimyo, each raising their long swords and slashing at the fleeing Japanese soldiers.
However, these soldiers who were in disarray were like headless flies running into each other. Even those soldiers who were running at the front were too late when they saw the gleaming swords coming towards them. They could only watch helplessly.
Seeing himself being hacked to death on the spot.
Behind these people was a mass of black and panic-stricken troops. Even these warriors could not stop all the troops.
The defeated army was like a torrent. Thousands of people and dozens of warriors could not change the situation at all. Not to mention these warriors, even if a dozen innate-level strong men appeared here, they would definitely not be able to change the situation.
It is possible to stop these collapsed Japanese soldiers.
When the Japanese soldiers collapsed, Chang Kui and other Ming generals saw this scene with surprise on their faces. With loud shouts, they led their men one by one to pursue these defeated Japanese troops.
When Chu Yi led the army through the canyon, the sky had completely darkened. At this time, Chang Kui, Yu Dayou and other generals who went to pursue the Japanese defeated army had not yet returned completely.
But at this moment, some generals were already escorting the Japanese soldiers who had been captured alive back.
Early the next morning, Chu Yi sat in the big tent and looked at the generals below who had faces full of excitement.
It can be said that more than half of the generals present participated in yesterday's battle, and many of them led their troops to chase down the defeated Japanese army. Almost everyone present had great military achievements.
Zhai Luan, who was seeing this scene for the first time, was sitting under Chu Yi, opposite Lu Dazhu. It was Chu Yi who was sitting next to Lu Dazhu, the deputy commander-in-chief.
Although Zhai Luan said that he had experience in the military, his qualifications were inferior to those of Lu Dazhu, who had participated in many wars.
Seeing the excitement on the faces of the generals who were full of evil spirits, Zhai Luan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Not long ago, he received news that this attack annihilated nearly 40,000 Kinki Allied Forces of the Ten Nations, and more than 20,000 of them were captured alive. The Ten Nations Allied Forces suffered almost 10,000 casualties. As for the remaining nearly 10,000 people,
Fleeing without a trace in the night.
Those Japanese defeated soldiers were not just dead people standing still. Instead, they were fleeing for their lives. They seemed to have burst out their potential. They ran extremely fast one by one. A considerable part of the Japanese defeated soldiers escaped without a trace.
strangeness.
Lu Dazhu smiled and said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, with this great victory, the ten kingdoms of Kinki will no longer be able to fight. From now on, we can go straight to Kyoto!"
While speaking, Lu Dazhu looked at Chu Yi earnestly and said: "Please allow Your Highness, General Zhun, to personally lead the army to attack Kyoto!"
Zhai Luan sat aside and opened his mouth, with a somewhat emotional look on his face. He was obviously very moved by Lu Dazhu's proposal. All fools knew that capturing the important place of Kyoto in Japan was definitely a great feat.
It can be said that as long as Kyoto can be captured, then this army will have the first success in conquering Japan, and everyone will be excited about it.
It's a pity that under the circumstances, only Lu Dazhu and Zhai Luan can have sufficient identities. As for other people, no matter how strong their thoughts are in their hearts, they can't compete with Lu Dazhu and Zhai Luan. Unless they are
Chu Yi personally ordered the general.
Zhai Luan was naturally excited. This was his first achievement. If he could combine this first achievement with those of others, he would at least be able to win the title of Marquis.
This is the position of a marquis, so it would be strange if Zhai Luan was not interested, but compared to Lu Dazhu, Zhai Luan is also very aware of his disadvantages.
Whether in terms of qualifications, status, or weight in Chu Yi's eyes, he was clearly inferior to Lu Dazhu.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Dazhu. Obviously many people knew in their hearts that unless Lu Dazhu didn't speak, otherwise, if Lu Dazhu spoke in person, Chu Yi would most likely give the credit to Lu Dazhu.
After pondering for a while, Chu Yi's eyes swept over Zhai Luan and finally fell on Lu Dazhu. He heard Chu Yi say: "In that case, I will order you to be the vanguard and lead the army to capture Kyoto!
"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Lu Dazhu suddenly laughed excitedly and said: "Your Highness is wise and will determine the final success. If you can't conquer Kyoto, you should come and see me!"
The Kinki Ten-Nation Allied Forces were defeated in the first battle. Although a small number of defeated troops fled back, the news spread along with these defeated troops.
When the news of the Allied Forces' defeat spread, the ten Kinki Kingdoms fell into complete chaos, and the Yamashiro Kingdom, Hanoi Kingdom and other countries were even more chaotic.
In particular, most of the lords of the Ten Kingdoms even died in the rebellion, which caused complete chaos in the countries originally controlled by these daimyo.
Although the families behind these famous names also have extremely strong power, everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses are about to attack, and the order on weekdays is completely chaotic, and the families that rule the place have no intention of managing the local order.
He was busy running for his life.
Who doesn't know where the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have passed? They may let the civilians go, but they will never let them go.
Almost all the dignitaries in the conquered countries had their homes confiscated, all the wealth they had accumulated for hundreds of years disappeared, and they themselves were even demoted as slaves and forced into the mines.
Kyoto
As the political and cultural center of Japan, it has always been the residence of the Emperor of Japan.
Although the emperor is more of a mascot-like existence in Japan, he is also a spiritual symbol, controlled and manipulated by successive shoguns.
It has to be said that the Emperor of Japan, controlled by the shoguns of the past dynasties of Japan, has no real power at all, and is more of a symbol. In name, the most noble person in Japan is the emperor, but those who really know the situation in Japan know that, if they have mastered it,
The real power lies with the shogun.
However, the Ashikaga family, which has ruled Japan for hundreds of years, now treats the emperor as their puppet and has been reduced to a mascot.
With the Onin Rebellion, the Ashikaga family completely lost control over the local daimyo. These local daimyo became the masters of independent kingdoms one by one, causing a small Japanese land to suddenly appear.
to dozens of countries.
The Japanese Warring States Period is about this period of chaos. Although outstanding figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu are mentioned, think about the outstanding figures who emerged during the Warring States Period in China.
, basically one is in the sky and the other is on the earth.
The shogun of this generation was none other than Ashikaga Yoshiue. As the general who conquered the barbarians, he commanded the entire shogunate and was in charge of Japan.
But now Ashikaga Yoshiuki's orders can't even leave Kyoto. In addition, the emperor's line is fighting with the shogunate overtly and covertly, trying to keep power in the hands of the royal family. This has led to intrigues between the royal family and the shogunate, and the struggle for power is extremely serious.
The news of the defeat of the Kinki Ten-Nation Alliance came back to Kyoto, and the royal family and the shogunate, who were fighting for a while, suddenly stopped eating, and even the entire Kyoto fell into a strange calm.
The Kyoto Imperial Palace is the residence of the emperor, a continuous building that forms the location of the royal palace.
Although the power of the emperor was eclipsed by the shogun, the residence was quite good, at least in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The shogun did not treat the emperors of all generations badly. Over time, the Kyoto Imperial Palace became the most luxurious building complex in Kyoto.
Even though the Kyoto Imperial Palace was burned down several times, it was rebuilt again and again, and each time it was rebuilt, it would be expanded on the original basis.
The emperor of this generation is Emperor Gokashiwara. At this moment, he is in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the Spring Festival Palace, with pavilions and pavilions, and the scenery is pleasant.
As the place where the emperor studied, the Yingshun Hall can be said to be the emperor's private place. At this moment, in the Yingshun Hall, Emperor Gokashiwara is sitting there. In front of him, several officials who are loyal to the emperor are kneeling one by one.
There, there was a bit of joy on his face.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Tagen Kojiro, was the number one confidant whom Emperor Gokashiwara relied on. At this time, Tagen Kojiro said to Emperor Gokashiwara with a joyful face: "Your Majesty, I am very happy, very happy!"
There was a hint of excitement in Emperor Gokashiwara's eyes, but when facing several ministers, Emperor Gokashiwara forced himself to be calm and looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro and said: "Tian Yuanjun, I wonder where the joy comes from?"
Tian Yuan Kojiro took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Tomorrow Soldiers have arrived, and the Kinki Ten-Nation Allied Forces were wiped out in one battle. In less than a year, more than one-third of these rebels were wiped out by the Great Tomorrow Soldiers.
If we can get the help of the Emperor of Heaven, His Majesty will surely regain the power and unify our country, how can it not be Your Majesty's great joy!"
"Absurd, really ridiculous!"
Just when Tian Yuan Kojiro was describing the bright future to everyone, one of the several ministers suddenly sneered and looked at Tian Yuan Kojiro with disdain.
