Chapter 429 Invasion of Daimyo Territory

"Speed ​​to explore the terrain."

Hu Yunqiang squinted his eyes, looked at the direction in which the Japanese slaves disappeared, and gave orders to the scouts in the army.

Then he glanced at Taro Phnom Penh again.

Asked: "What were those little dwarfs shouting just now?"

At this time, Taro Phnom Penh's face looked a little frightened and a little happy, and he looked very strange.

He adjusted his breathing and then replied: "General, let's talk about why the Ming army invaded the territory of the Li family."

When Hu Yunqiang heard the name of the Li family, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

He remembered that in the information provided by Zhu Yuanzhang, Lin Che made it very clear that Shimane County Yinshan was now in the hands of the Daliang family.

And this family sitting on Silver Mountain is purely a soft persimmon.

As for the Li family, their status in the Japanese country was similar to that of Boss Cao who assisted the prince to command the princes.

The troops under his command are also the most capable.

Although Hu Yunqiang did not think that the Japanese slaves could defeat the Ming Dynasty's advance army equipped with wolves.

But the purpose of his coming to Japan was just to explore the way.

If you directly break into the seat of the Japanese court.

Then even if he could escape unscathed, the mission of the advance army would have failed.

"I shouldn't be so unlucky. I hope this place is not the homeland of Japanese slaves."

Hu Yunqiang muttered a few words in his heart, but he was also ready to retreat at any time.

Compared to Hu Yunqiang's worries.

The head of the Li clan, Gangtai of the Li clan, who was notified by his subordinates, was more confused than frightened by the arrival of a group of Ming troops in his fief.

He confirmed to his men: "You can see clearly, the soldiers coming are the army of the Ming Dynasty."

"Instead of other famous names, disguised as Ming Dynasty flags?"

Today's Japanese country has just reconciled from the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

On the surface, the various lords accepted the rule of the Li family.

But the private battles are definitely not less than in troubled times.

Therefore, Gangtai of the Li tribe was worried that what was coming was an army from a hostile daimyo.

However, the one-eyed dragon's subordinates who reported the news were steadfast in their oath.

"Master, I saw clearly that they are indeed the Ming Dynasty's army."

"Other daimyo's men cannot gather so many giants."

Compared with the average height of 1.4 meters, the tallest Japanese slave is only 1.6 meters.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, with an average height of nearly 1.7 meters per capita, were indeed like tall giants.

The Li Gangtai Li An was still confused, which became more and more intense.

He scratched his head and said to himself: "My fiefdom is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. How did they get here?"

"Maybe I got lost."

The one-eyed dragon replied casually.

Then he persuaded Li Gangtai: "Master, it doesn't matter why the Ming army came."

"But they have discovered us. According to our relationship with the Ming Dynasty, we will definitely have to fight first before meeting."

"If we don't worry about the samurai and strike first, we probably won't have a chance to fight back."

Gangtai of the Li tribe knew that his men were not alarmist.

Because the Japanese state and the Ming Dynasty had many conflicts as early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the strait separating them, the two sides would have fought a war to destroy the country.

"Ring the bell immediately and summon the warriors on the island to prepare for battle."

Gangtai of the Li tribe did not intend to sit still and wait for death, so he directly adopted the one-eyed dragon's suggestion.

But then he snorted again and said: "Gather those absentees too, they will also have to go to the battlefield!"

The one-eyed dragon immediately accepted the order and went out to ring the bell to summon men. Soon, more than three hundred warriors with swords gathered in the open space outside the courtyard.

Plus more than 800 skinny, bare-chested miners holding back the miners' tools.

"Gentlemen, here comes a group of Ming Dynasty troops from the beach."

"They have already marched towards us. If we don't want to die in humiliation at the hands of the Ming army."

"Wait a minute and charge with me to kill all these guys who have broken into our territory."

Gangtai of the Li tribe shouted and told the reason why he summoned everyone.

Although the warriors were a little surprised about going to fight with the Ming army.

But fighting means getting meritorious service.

So their morale is very high.

The majority of the miners, however, had no reaction to Li Gangtai's words.

Because most of them have been enslaved for many years, their character has been dulled by the boring life of miners.

I just feel that no matter who wins or loses, they can’t escape the fate of continuing to mine.

Gangtai of the Li ethnic group naturally knew what these miners were thinking.

He had just heard the report from One-Eyed Dragon's men that the Ming army was more numerous than his warriors.

If you don't fool some miners into being cannon fodder.

I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight.

Therefore, Gangtai of the Li ethnic group shouted again: "In this battle to challenge the Ming Dynasty, if the miners participate in the war, they will only have to bear the relatively easy task of transporting ore in the future."

"If you can chop off an Akito's head, you can regain your freedom."

"If you can kill the general of the Ming army, you can be promoted to a warrior and become a high-ranking master from then on."

Such a generous promise directly aroused the miners' interest in the next battle.

They have been mining for many years. Although they have not enough food and clothing, they have also developed a lot of strength.

As for the influence of these miners, everyone is weak.

They couldn't even defeat the down-and-out samurai who managed to survive and come to rob them.

Because of this stereotype, many miners feel that this battle must be won.

So they shouted excitedly: "Kill the Ming army and become warriors!"

"Get your armor ready and set off immediately in a quarter of an hour!"

Gangtai of the Li ethnic group saw that the miners were aroused by him, so after his men made preparations for the war, he set off with a team of thousands of people.

Gangtai of the Li tribe led his men out of the mountains and forests.

They saw that the Ming army was already arrayed on the beach not far away, seeming to be waiting for them to attack.

"Hahaha, these Ming soldiers are beggars? They actually use bamboo as weapons?"

"Watch me chop off the heads of two Akitos with a single blow."

"The head of Akito's general belongs to me."

Because the battle situation on Tsushima Island has not yet reached here.

Therefore, when the warriors led by Gangtai of the Li ethnic group looked at the Ming army holding up moso bamboos with no branches cut off, like many Japanese pirates who saw Langzhen for the first time, they couldn't help laughing disdainfully.

Hu Yunqiang looked at the scattered formations in the distance and pointed at the laughing Japanese slaves, with a disdainful smile on his face.

He encouraged the soldiers of the advance army: "These Japanese slaves are also a group of ignorant fools."

"When I saw Lang Zhen, I knelt down and begged for mercy. I thought I had won."

"Brothers, let these little dwarfs see what it means to be an invincible Ming Dynasty elite."

In fact, there is no need for Hu Yunqiang to say these words to boost morale.

The soldiers of the advance army all knew that they would win again this time.
