Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 30 Crusade against the Shogunate
When these 20 Southern Song soldiers took root in Japan and had children, at most [-] years later they would become a powerful anti-Yuan force.

Once Kublai Khan died, Da Yuan would enter the power of several generations of powerful officials. The court was corrupt and dark, and there might be a chance to rebuild the Han family.

Fan Zhuoyuan led his troops to the expedition, entered the country extremely quickly, and quickly swept across the four countries and the land of China.

At this time, Hojo Tokimune, in charge of the shogunate, was in the Harima country in Kinki near Kyoto. He had mobilized a total of 20 soldiers and horses from the major families under the control of the shogunate, including regular troops and peasant soldiers.

As early as when Fan Zhuoyuan led the army to train on Kyushu Island during the frequent storms at sea, Hojo Tokimune had already marched to the Harima country by land, and set up the battlefield first.

Although he has a lot of troops in his hands, he also knows that this is not the military power of all Japan.

Because there are still many ronin and wild samurai and noble families who claim to be loyal only to the emperor, they did not gather here.

Most of them are grass on the wall, sitting and watching, and some of them have been summoned by the emperor to gather in Kyoto, and there are also [-] to [-] troops.

The Harima country is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. The terrain is complex and it is located in Kinki, which is more conducive to defense and has sufficient logistics.

The only disadvantage is that if Kyoto is attacked, it will be difficult for the shogunate to send troops to support it.

But he doesn't care, Kyoto is not his base camp, and it will fall if it falls.

If Yuan Kou dared to attack Kyoto, he would dare to harass the Four Kingdoms and China, and cut off their retreat.

It just happened to form a corner with Kyoto strategically, but Hojo Tokimune didn't expect the [-] troops under the emperor to support him.

Today, the [-] troops directly under the shogunate, composed of pure warriors, have been trained for three months under the guidance of Song Dynasty Hu Qi and others, and they are quite capable of fighting.

Continue the training for another month, relying on the strength of the combined strength of many wealthy families, it is enough to go to the battlefield and fight the Yuan Kou.

Thinking of this, Hojo Tokimune seemed to have seen himself defeating the Yuan invaders on the battlefield, chasing death and chasing the north, once again pushing the prestige of the shogunate to the highest level, and making all the powerful families in the world who do not want to submit to him kneel at his feet to serve !
As for the emperor, he had originally abandoned Li Youxin, and at that time he would just dance a Noh dance in front of him to celebrate.

Only when the shogunate himself is in power can he completely control the whole of Japan!

After capturing the Shikoku and China regions, Fan Zhuoyuan spent another ten days completely sweeping away the scattered warrior groups in the Shikoku and China regions.

The implementation process of the ban on arms was extremely cruel, killing people head to head. Jingguan was built at the gate of every city. He has never been very patient with those who disobeyed his rule.

And for ordinary people and businessmen who obey him, he can give quite preferential policies to win them over.

So the ruling class and the ruled class were just split by him.

In the morning, Fan Zhuoyuan inspected the troops.

Now all the troops sweeping up the enemy from all over the place are concentrated in Tokushima County of Awakuni, which is close to the port, and within fifty miles by boat is Awaji Island, which is the springboard for him to attack Kyoto.

At present, Fan Zhuoyuan has gathered [-] soldiers, which can be said to be strong and strong, with high morale.

There are still [-] warships staying at sea, and [-] warships docked on the coast of Tosago, Shikoku Island to transport supplies. This power is enough to sweep and crush the entire Japanese fleet, causing the shogunate to completely lose control of the sea.

But Fan Zhuoyuan did not use troops immediately, and he did not ignore the actual situation of the war because he was eager to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

From the recent detections, Fan Zhuoyuan already knew that the shogunate claimed that 40 elite soldiers had gathered in the Harima country, which was in a dangerous terrain and good for defense.

The opponent did not block the gate of Kyoto, but deliberately opened the gate of Kyoto. The purpose was to use Kyoto as a bait, so as to send elites from China to attack Kyushu and cut off their own supplies.

It's a good idea, but Fan Zhuoyuan is not a fool.

Fighting this kind of war of destroying the country has never been the best choice for occupying the opponent's capital.

Only by completely annihilating the enemy's vital forces can one be able to do a job with ease and have no worries when the country is destroyed.

So Fan Zhuoyuan's strategy was to fight a decisive battle with the Kamakura shogunate in the Harima country, completely annihilate its main force, and complete the most difficult task of the system.

Now, he is ready to formally march and launch the battle to destroy the sun.

On the same day, Fan Zhuo mobilized troops from a distance and crossed the sea to attack Awaji Island.

The guardian of Awaji Island didn't even have the courage to fight Fan Zhuoyuan, so he simply led the army to Harima by boat.

But unexpectedly, [-] soldiers were intercepted by Fan Zhuoyuan's fleet at sea, and all of them were wiped out at sea in front of the shogunate army on Harima land, and no one survived.

The purpose of this move is to show off one's power and blow the morale of the enemy army, and remind the shogunate once again that Hojo Tokimune, who is in power at sea, is in the hands of our Fan family army!

After this battle, even fishermen in the countries around Kinki dared not go out to sea to fish.

Afterwards, the fleet used trebuchets, bed crossbows, and even newly-made artillery to continue to attack various fortifications and Yuan Bandit defenses built on the beach of Harima, clearing the roadblocks.

At this time, the typhoon season has passed, and the sea is calm.

Thousands of warships took turns bombing day and night, and the fortifications built by the shogunate following the example of Shao Er's capital for the Yuan bandits could not be defended at all, and they were wiped out in half a month.

After the landing area was vacated, Fan Zhuoyuan led the army to detour across the sea, entered the Kakogawa, the largest river in the Harima country, and then went up the river to find the landing site.

This battle will definitely determine the future fate of Japan!

For the Kamakura shogunate, this is a life-and-death battle with no way out. If it loses, even if Hojo Tokimune, the ruler of the shogunate, manages to escape and does not fall into the hands of the Fan family army, the many samurai forces he usually kneads with power will also take the opportunity Eat it back.

As far as Fan Zhuoyuan is concerned, the [-] army is all he has. If he lands on the island to fight in this battle, if he loses, there will be no way out, and the entire army will be wiped out!

Then the loss of Kyushu Island followed, and it must be followed by the collective revenge of the Japanese samurai family, the accountability of the Mongolian and Yuan courts, and the destruction of his Fan family!

But ever since leading one hundred thousand soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty to set foot on the Hyuga Kingdom, Fan Zhuoyuan has no way out except to move forward!
On the waves of the sea, more than a thousand warships are lined up, connecting the sky and the earth, which is extremely spectacular!

Now there is no fortification of the shogunate army within five miles from the sea, let alone a defender.

With the help of the mountainous terrain five miles away, they rebuilt a continuous fortress defense system. Due to the sufficient manpower, the construction speed was surprisingly fast!

These fortresses are enough to limit the performance of the cavalry under Fan Zhuoyuan's command. At the same time, the shogunate army is condescending, and it can also avoid large-scale battles with Fan Zhuoyuan's army.

Simply comparing strength on paper, no matter how elite Fan Zhuoyuan's [-] army is, it is impossible to defeat the opponent.

Five miles from the river bank, Fan Zhuoyuan commanded the army to land ashore calmly and build a camp.
