Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 524 I will go to Ping'an capital here, and I will return safely and victoriously ([-] more)

Gao Zhang, Yao Pingzhong and the others were galloping towards the direction of Yangcheng Lake.

The target is Yangcheng Lake, which is about ten miles northeast of Suzhou City.

Today they are here to test the kerosene bomb developed by Gao Xuanfu.

Although everyone thinks that the thing can be tested, just play it on the battlefield.

But he still couldn't hold back the prodigy's number one scholar, coupled with Gao Zhang's determined expression, the power of this thing was far stronger than the kerosene bombs currently used by Da Song.

It really aroused the curiosity of a group of people, but when everyone was halfway, it started to rain.

But even if it rains, it can't dampen Gao Zhang's enthusiasm for experimenting with new weapons for the appreciation of these great Song warriors.

In the continuous rain, the group finally arrived near a deserted river beach.

Gao Zhang looked it over carefully, saw a piece of wild forest near the river beach, and immediately raised his chin towards Fu'an.

Fu An, who had already measured a small dose of kerosene bombs in the government office, had a good time, rode his horse and galloped forward for a dozen steps, and started to make a fire under the umbrella.

I ignited the oilcloth head protruding from the inside of the leather bag, and after seeing that the oil-soaked cloth head on the head of the skin bag was completely on fire, I threw it towards the wild forest with all my strength.

Then lit the next one, but before throwing this one out, I heard a muffled sound coming from the wild forest.

In the endless rain, everyone saw the flames rising from under the wild forest.

After the second ignited leather bag was also thrown over, it happened to hit the tree trunk hard. Perhaps the sewing technology of this leather bag was not up to standard, and it exploded directly on the tree.

Then, everyone saw that there seemed to be a ball of fire, and the splashed grease stuck to the tree, but did not flow away as expected.

Instead, it sticks directly to the trunk and continues to burn.

Both Yang Zhen and Yao Pingzhong sensed something was wrong with this fever.

The Western Army will naturally have the opportunity to use destructive weapons such as kerosene bombs.

But the kerosene bombs of the Western Army are completely liquid and extremely fluid, and the burning time is far inferior to the kerosene bombs that Gao Xuan caressed.

Until everyone had already waited here until the rain cleared and the clouds cleared, the flame was still burning stubbornly, and at this moment, the wild forest had been completely ignited.

Seeing this scene, Yao Pingzhong looked forward to the surprise attack on Ping'an capital even more.

#####
Fang La set up his navy, carrying almost 2000 troops and a large amount of military equipment, and headed for Nagasaki Port.

Six days and seven nights, when Fang La's navy and those cargo ships arrived at Nagasaki Port.

Here, Fang Fei has already been waiting here, besides Fang Fei, there is also a guide sent by Fujiwara Tadai, the lord of Fujiwara.

This Fujiwara Tadai was overjoyed when he learned from Fang Fei that Da Song was going to surprise Ping An Jing, and sent several confidant retainers over as guides without hesitation.

Although the Fujiwara Kingdom won the first battle, Fujiwara Tadai also knew very well that his strength was too weak compared to the Wa Kingdom court, which had the power of the entire Wajima.

Now, Song Guo sent troops to help, if he didn't know how to grasp it, he would be really stupid.

Yang Zhen was in charge of commanding the disembarked soldiers and horses to continue northward until they reached the Maguan Strait of the Fujiwara country to join Liu Kai.

And that Yao Pingzhong, with more than 100 elite Western Army under his command, and more than 300 war horses, joined those Japanese guides.

Under the guidance of the boat sent by Fang Fei, they quietly traveled south along the coast, and then turned north.

Go straight to Namba-kyo (Osaka), the southern gateway of Heian-kyo, which is located in the central-southern area of ​​the main island of Japan.

The so-called Namba-kyo is because hundreds of years ago, Nintoku, the king of Wa, built Namba Takatsu Palace in this trading port.

Later, Prince Shotoku built Shitennoji Temple here, which can be regarded as one of the earliest Buddhist temples in Japan.

After the reform of Dahua, the ruler of the Wa Kingdom at that time built the Namba Hana Toyosaki Palace (Namba Palace) in Osaka, and designated this place as Namba-kyo, making Osaka the capital of the Wa Kingdom for a time.

Although the ruler of the Wa Kingdom actually lived in Namba-kyo for a short time, the Namba Palace has always been preserved.

Until Emperor Huanmu of the Wa Kingdom moved the capital to Heian-kyo, Namba-kyo completely lost its status as a political center.

However, there are still a large number of religious buildings and ports such as Shitennoji Temple and Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine. It is a relatively important town and port in the Kinki area today.

And from here, it is only a distance of eighty miles to go ashore and reach the Ping'an capital.

However, under the guidance of the guide sent by the Lord Fujiwara, they did not land directly at the most prosperous and lively Namba Jinggang area.

Instead, they chose to land in the once prosperous but now completely abandoned port area, Ohwatapo (Kobe).

In the Nara period, the imperial court built the Dawata Park Port here for maritime trade.

However, with the closure of the country, many ports in the country lost their due value.

Because the country's national finances are unable to repair, and it is only a few dozen miles away from the port of Nanbajing.

Therefore, the Japanese imperial court let it be abandoned and ignored it.

The people and merchants in this area had already migrated away long ago, and there was only a dilapidated fishing village near the port.

It took almost a day for hundreds of sailors to repair one of the trestle bridges.

Taking advantage of the night, they transported Yao Pingzhong and his subordinates, men and horses, and Gao Zhang's specially made kerosene bombs ashore.

After a good rest on the shore for a day, Yao Pingzhong, who had recovered his energy, began to order the army to be reorganized.

Yao Pingzhong, together with the elite of the Western Army under his command, including those guides, also have three riders per person.

Fang La stood aside silently, watching the hundred or so riders until Yao Pingzhong announced that the whole army was on horseback.

Then he stepped forward quickly and saluted Yao Pingzhong respectfully.

"At the end of the day, I hope the general wins the flag and returns safely."

"Haha, don't worry, General Fang, I will go to Ping'an capital here, and I will return safely and victorious."

Yao Pingzhong's heroic words also caused the Xijing elites under his command to laugh wantonly.

Watching this team, under the guidance of those guides, gradually drifting away under the afterglow of the evening.

Fang Qifo, who was beside Fang La, looked at these heroic elites of the Western Army, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It really deserves to be the most powerful soldier in the Song Dynasty. The elite of the Western Army lives up to the reputation of being an elite."

"That's natural. Alright Seven Buddhas, take the scouts under your command, and don't let a living creature go, understand?"

　Go to bed first, wake up and continue, don't worry, it's still five o'clock
