People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 372 Under the red cannon! The little devil's city wall is like paper! The little devil is about to perish!
Ashikaga Kanemitsu never dreamed of it.

The Ming army will suddenly launch an attack at this time.

Because before, they had always maintained the agreement and ruled by dividing the territory.

Ashikaga Kanemitsu has always felt that he has been very patient.

Originally, the Japanese slaves were their land.

When the Ming army arrived, they took away half of their land without saying hello.

Forget it, you are awesome.

You have powerful firearms.

You have superb brainwashing techniques.

We can capture our people and brainwash them into your people.

Ashikaga Kanemitsu could only bravely lead his 20,000 troops to attack.

Just pay a certain share every year.

But we can only keep half of our territory. But now that we have endured so much, you still want to attack.

It is estimated that Ashikaga Kanemitsu has long been discovered, and he is nothing more than a puppet who obtained the support of the Ming Dynasty by cooperating with the Ming Dynasty and at the expense of transferring benefits.

You Ashikaga Kanemitsu just took over this banner from your brother.

So, under this situation.

And what are you?
You are just a puppet in the hands of the Ming army.

They fight bravely for you.

The 20,000 troops in his headquarters are his last trump card.

We respect you, not because of you, but because of the blood flowing in you.

His so-called elite soldiers are scattered on the battlefield.

However, he overestimated the consciousness of the village chiefs below.

We have a hard time.

In these areas where we were originally very angry, I have tried my best to suppress my subordinates.

If they all arrive on the battlefield and are annihilated by the Ming army, he will lose the throne of general, and may even be directly counterattacked by the daimyo below.

There was no announcement at all, which caught us off guard.

As a result, Ashikaga Kanemitsu only had a mere 20,000 headquarters troops.

So we don't say anything.

Now you still want to command us?

Ashikaga shouted angrily, but he could only passively respond.

And it was a sudden attack.

Not only did they not obey his orders, but in order to preserve their own strength and avoid being drafted by Ashikaga Kanemitsu, they lied that they no longer had any troops.

So the following big names immediately began to rebel.

We obey him because he has powerful means.

That's your thing.

Weren't they defeated one by one by the Ming army?

You have always said that you are a country of etiquette and respect credibility, but now you do things like this.

Let them not care about this and just treat it as a gift to you.

And we have no way to stop it.

You are very capable.

Only then did he realize how unreliable the big names under his command were.

After hearing what he said, these village chiefs not only did not send troops to reinforce him, but instead mocked him:

It was his trump card to suppress other famous names.

Even if the Ming army attacks at this time, you will be killed.

You even dug up all the silver in our country and sent it to your territory.

I have been wiped out, how can you resist?

These things are your strengths.

However, your brother is at least capable. He has led the Japanese slaves for so many years, and even almost destroyed the Southern Dynasty and unified the entire Japanese slaves.

And as long as we raise our hands and surrender, this place will still be ruled by us from now on.

He tried his best to convince those big names. If the Ming army attacks at this time, so what if you retain your strength? You will only become a lost dog.

Everyone has signed an agreement. We will provide you with 10,000 captives every year so that you can mine silver and gold smoothly.

With the cooperation of the Ming army's guns and cannons, he had the nerve to go and negotiate terms with Mu Ying, despite the fact that they were scurrying away.

It means that I will truly become your puppet from now on. You can do whatever you want me to do, and I will help you get rid of all the big names below.

In the past, Mu Ying was of course willing to use this kind of restraint policy to rule the entire Japanese slaves.

But it's different now.

The order issued by Chen Han and His Royal Highness was to do their best to drag these Japanese slaves to the Ming Dynasty to work as miners.

Now Ming Dynasty is entering a stage of development in an all-round way.

A large number of prisoners are needed, not only workers to build the railway, but also to mine in Liaodong.

Even to develop virgin forests in Lingnan, there is an urgent shortage of manpower.

When His Royal Highness heard Chen Han's story about how these Japanese slaves had killed tens of millions of people in the Central Plains hundreds of years later, he was filled with hatred.

Now that we have the opportunity to capture them in advance and turn them into slaves of the Ming Dynasty, how can we spare them?

Since Mu Ying received a death order, of course she had no interest in their negotiations.

Moreover, the new army in his hands has already received rear-loading flintlock rifles and needs to be tested on the battlefield.

It would be most suitable to practice with these Japanese slaves who have hatred and produce Japanese pirates.

So there was no negotiation.

On the contrary, when Ashikaga Kanemitsu arrived at the Ming army's camp, his head was chopped off before negotiations began.

It is said that the two countries are at war without killing the envoys, but now Ming Dynasty looks down on these dwarfs.

Who negotiates peace with them.

When Ashikaga Kanemitsu received the severed head of the negotiator he sent out, he was so angry that he jumped around in the tent and cursed.

"This is a bullshit country of credibility, a bullshit land of heaven, and a bullshit country of etiquette. You are all dishonest and dishonest."

Seeing his coach so panicked in the tent, his subordinates lost their minds even more.

They had suffered several defeats and were retreating steadily, and were about to retreat to Kyoto.

If you retreat any further, you will have no choice but to stay in your own capital.

In this case, there is no point of retreat.

If the big names below see that your general has been beaten in such a mess, then they may take the opportunity to bite back, or they may directly raise the white flag against the Ming Dynasty.

Under this double pressure, Ashikaga Kanemitsu was so anxious that his eyebrows almost burned out.

So he made a relatively wise decision - gathering all the remaining 10,000 troops under his command in Kyoto City.

They planned to fortify the walls and clear the country, and then resolutely not come out, using tall city walls to block the Ming Dynasty's attack.

But their Kyoto city walls in the Cold Weapon Age were indeed high enough, thick enough, and hard enough.

But the red cannon created by Chen Han has already captured the Japanese slaves and has reached the hands of Mu Ying and others.

It has also been proven that the red cannon is quite useful for blasting city walls.

So Mu Ying took more than 20,000 troops and stationed them at the gates of Kyoto, and waited for four or five days without any movement.

Ashikaga Kanemitsu was overjoyed when he saw no movement from the Ming army outside the city in Kyoto.

He thought that the Ming army had no choice but to surround his tall city wall at this time, waiting for them to lose patience and then voluntarily abandon this strong city. However, Ashikaga Kanemitsu laughed loudly, "Your calculations are really crazy, but the food stored in Kyoto City is enough to feed our army for more than three months.

And you are working hard on an expedition, the front is stretched so long, and there will be insufficient food and grass. How can you hold on? "

He even encouraged his soldiers and generals that as long as we hold on to Tiancheng and wait for him for another ten days and a half, the Ming army will inevitably retreat.

After they retreat, we can take advantage of the victory to chase them and kill them, thus boosting the morale of the army.

This will shock the capricious names below.

Then we threatened the victorious troops to sweep away those who were disobedient.

Then the time will come for you to make contributions.

The following generals really listened to his nonsense, and they all felt that there was no need to worry because of this strong city.

However, what they did not expect was that the reason why Mu Ying did not order a strong attack was because she was waiting for the red cannon to come.

Each red cannon weighs seven or eight thousand kilograms. Unlike them, which can move lightly and easily, they can move forward quickly.

There were not many easy roads along the way, so the logistics troops and artillery had no choice but to open roads over mountains and build bridges over water.

Being able to slowly arrive from Tangli Base within three or four days is already considered good.

It's strange that the Japanese slaves were everywhere at this time.

After waiting for four days, twenty red cannons finally arrived.

At noon this day, the sky was high and the air was crisp.

After the red cannons set up their formation, Zhao Shenyan was a little worried.

“Commander, if we attack, it’s best to sneak up on them at night and catch them off guard.

Wouldn't it be broad daylight to prepare them? "

Mu Ying laughed loudly, pointed at the twenty cannons and said, "We have such a sharp weapon, but we still choose to attack at night? Wouldn't it undermine the majesty of our tomorrow's army?"

We just want to attack in broad daylight, and we just want to let those little devils see how powerful our artillery is.

We just want to leave them with an impressive failure.

The soldiers only need one blast from these twenty cannons, and their city wall will be in vain.

When the time comes, regardless of the front or rear troops, all will be rushed in by this commander, killing people and beating horses at sight, leaving no one behind.

This time, don't do anything about being surrounded by three and missing one. Let's catch a turtle in an urn.

Surround the city from all sides, not sparing anyone! "

In ancient times, in wars, especially city sieges, in order to prevent the enemy inside from having no way to retreat and to develop a desperate resistance, there were usually four city gates, three of which were surrounded and one gate was opened.

Give the enemy troops inside a glimmer of hope and prevent them from desperately resisting.

But now that Mu Ying has such a sharp weapon and the elite soldiers and generals in his hands, he didn't even lose thirty soldiers in the war some time ago, so of course he doesn't take them seriously at all.

If you want to fight, just fight a beautiful battle, if you want to fight, these little devils will see the flag of Ming Dynasty and run away with their tails between their legs in despair.

It's like a mouse meeting a cat.

Even if there is a cliff ahead, they still have to jump down;

Even if there is a blazing fire in front of them, they have to jump down.

Only by forcing them to this extent can this nation be completely destroyed.

After hearing Mu Ying's words, Zhao Shenyan suddenly woke up.

Yes, if you want to fight, fight a good fight.

Sneak attacks at night are indeed the best choice in the art of war, but now they are fighting more than just a battle.

What you fight is more morale, and what you fight is more national prestige.

So the artillerymen immediately pushed the red cannon slowly forward, and pushed it under the Kyoto city, so that the little devils on the Kyoto city wall could clearly see it.

Sure enough, because the city wall was high enough, the little devils standing on it could clearly see the twenty red cannons below.

The caliber of the cannon was more than enough to stuff their heads into it.

Then they saw that unlike what their general said, the Ming army was only besieging the city at this time.

On the contrary, everyone was in high spirits, not feeling helpless about this fortified city, but rather eager to try.

It looks like after the cannon barrel is aimed at the city wall, the city wall must be a pile of loose sand.

Then they must rush in and chop their own people to death.

Seeing that momentum, the little devils on the city wall began to shake their legs.

A general hurried down the city wall to report Ashikaga Kanemitsu.

Ashikaga Kanemitsu was still living happily in the emperor's palace.

He didn't realize at all that the Ming army was not at all like what he imagined, and there was nothing they could do about this fortified city.

However, before the messenger arrived at the palace, the rumble of cannons was heard throughout Kyoto.

At first, the people and troops in Kyoto thought it was thunder in the sky.

But they looked up and saw that the sky was clear and crisp today, with very few clouds.

The sun was shining brightly and there was no sign of rain.

However, the little devil on the other side of the city wall was surprised to find out.

His city wall, which was five meters thick, actually cracked open under the bombardment of the red cannon.

Then more than a dozen cannonballs hit the same place, and instantly the five-meter-thick and fifteen-meter-high city wall collapsed! !

It was built up piece by piece with big stones.

It took countless generations of emperors and generals to build it.

Kyoto's city walls have never suffered such serious damage since they were built.

However, today, the little devils saw a large hole of more than 20 meters long in Kyoto's city wall, and the city gate was instantly useless.

Seeing this, Mu Ying drew the sword from her waist and shouted: "Kill!!"

The 20,000 Ming troops, just like what Mu Ying said, rushed in swarm regardless of the front army or the rear army.

Without the protection of this high wall, even the army of more than 10,000 little Japs left inside would be useless.

Before they even made contact, they were knocked down by the muskets of the Ming army that rushed over.

Seeing this, the more than 10,000 troops collapsed and fled in a hurry.

Like mice scurrying around, the Ming army was like a cat catching mice, chasing each other.

At this time, when the Ming army looked at the little devil, he no longer looked at a person, but at a walking silver.

Mu Ying told them before this battle that the head of a little devil is worth ten taels of silver.

So now that the Ming army saw these little devils running away in a hurry, it was as if they saw a big ingot of silver on their heads.

So what are you waiting for? Kill!
Wherever the Ming army passed, there were corpses of little Japanese.

In the end it was not a war at all, but a one-sided massacre.

The little devils dispersed all the way from the west gate and retreated into the city.

At this time, Ashikaga Kanemitsu heard from the people under his command that the Ming army did not wait outside at all, but rushed in directly. He was immediately panicked and hurriedly put on his armor.

When he put on his armor and prepared to command his army, the palace was also in chaos.

It turned out that the Ming army had already reached the palace.

The guards of the palace were directly shot to death.

"The Ming army came in, the general ran out of the back door, ran out of the back door!"

"The Ming army has already entered, running and running..."

bang bang...

Just after saying a few words, the two loyal guards had their heads blown off.

Seeing this, Ashikaga Kanemitsu didn't care about anything else. He didn't even put on one of his boots, so he hurriedly ran away from the back door...
