Chapter 137 Entering the Ping'an capital and destroying the three artifacts! (6.2K)

The battle of offense and defense in ancient times.

The defender has the upper hand. Looking at the entire history, there are countless examples of battles in history where a small number of troops resisted a large number of siege troops.

Don't talk about the far ones, just talk about the nearest ones.

When Lao Zhu started his business, Chen Youliang attacked Hongdu with an army of 60. Zhu Wenzheng defended for more than 80 days with [-] troops. It was not until Lao Zhu returned the army that Chen Youliang withdrew.

For a victory in a siege battle, the attacking party often piled up corpses.

Especially in the face of a fortified city, even if the attacking party has several times the strength of the defending city, many times it will be futile in the end. Such examples abound.

Although the area of ​​Heian capital in Japan is only a quarter of that of Chang'an in the past, whether it is the city wall construction, fortifications, or the moat surrounding Heian capital, it is not inferior to Tang'an in the past.

Even after so many years of reinforcement year by year, compared with the former Chang'an, the defense is still stronger.

The moat alone has been widened more than a dozen times.

"I implore the emperor to order me to lead the troops to charge. The final general is willing to issue a military order in public. If you can't take down the Japanese slave capital, come and see me!"

In the tent of the Chinese army.

Chang Tianci's voice resounded through the camp, this was the third time he had requested to go to battle.

However, Zhu Xiongying is still not sure.

Even Zhu Xiongying didn't order one soldier to attack the city. Although the army was placed in front of Ping'an capital, they just bombarded the wall of Ping'an capital with cannons from a distance.

In Zhu Xiongying's view, exchanging a large number of human lives for a city is an extremely uneconomical deal, not to mention that the Beijing camp army is Zhu Xiongying's team to conquer the world, so naturally it is impossible to die in this Japanese territory for nothing.

In the tent, Xu Huizu, Chang Mao, Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Wu, Zhang Yu, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, and their deputy commanders all stood, waiting for His Majesty's will.

None of the handsome men spoke.

Although they were also very puzzled, why did His Majesty the Emperor not order a general attack when soldiers were already approaching the city? What are they waiting for?
Although they were puzzled in their hearts, the experience of these days told them.

Even if they go home and admit that their wives are wrong, His Majesty the Emperor will never be wrong.

"His Majesty…!"

Chang Tianci spoke out again, wanting to challenge him, but was forced back by his father Chang Mao's look.

"Fortified City, be a surprise soldier."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Chang Tianci, this kid has gone through this period of battle, although he has acquired bravery, his brain is still too impulsive and needs more training.

A mature and independent vanguard general, in order to be invincible, not only has the courage to go forward, but also needs a calm heart at all times, so that he can make the most correct choice in milliseconds .

Chang Tianci's grandfather, Chang Yuchun, although he claimed to be able to sweep the world with one hundred thousand troops, he was definitely not a reckless person.

This safe city is definitely not an ordinary city that Chang Tianci can break through with casual helpers.

Raiders?

All the generals in the tent were taken aback when they heard His Majesty's words.

Where are the Raiders?

All the commanders looked at each other secretly, and all they saw in their eyes were doubts.

At this moment, a young man with a handsome face in a black battle armor quickly entered the tent. All the generals looked at this man, all with puzzled expressions on their faces. They had never seen this man before.

In fact, not all of them have never seen each other, such as Xu Huizu, they all met Xiao San at the side of His Majesty the Emperor.

But they had never seen Xiao San without a mask, so they couldn't recognize Xiao San with his whole face exposed.

"The commander of the Dragon Shadow Guards, Xiao San, pays homage to His Majesty."

Kneel on one knee and salute.

With this sound, Xu Huizu, Chang Mao and the others suddenly realized, of course they all knew the existence of the Shadow Guard, and they all knew that the boss of the Shadow Guard was this Xiao San.

At first they all thought that he was an old man, at worst he was of the same generation as themselves, but they didn't expect him to be so young, he seemed to be in his early twenties at most.

"Report to Your Majesty, the ten-member team has assembled."

Siege the city wantonly, with the defense of Ping'an capital, it is simply to give away the head.

Zhu Xiongying's plan was also very simple. He sneaked into the city with a small group of people, directly became Japanese slave warriors defending the city, and opened the city gate.

In the 21st century, this thing is called special forces operations.

If this method is stated in public, many people will probably think it is nonsense. After all, in the eyes of those who know the soldiers, this is almost an impossible task.

What's more, in the thinking of people in this era, there has never been the term special operations.

Moreover, behind the high wall of Ping'an capital, all kinds of defense equipment are readily available, and it is simply a dream to infiltrate silently.

However, the word 'impossible' is for ordinary people.

For Zhu Xiongying, this is just a routine.

Whether it is hardware or software, it is a cross-level dimensionality reduction blow.

The ten-member team that Xiao San brought this time were all born with spiritual roots, and all of them were second-grade and first-grade spiritual roots with top-grade qualifications, and had undergone more than ten days of secret special training.

The team is divided into two groups, one group is called 'Zhan Shen', and the other is called 'Zhu Tian'. The maximum age of the team members is no more than 16 years old, and most of them are teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old.

Among them, Tang Yi is the captain of the "Zhutian" team, and Shi Hao is the captain of the "Zhanshen" team.

Zhu Tian Zhanshen, every team member in it, 'Wall Piercing' and 'Vision Shadow' are basic skills, and there are a few geniuses in formations and talismans.

"let's start."

Zhu Xiongying spoke lightly.

"According to the order."

Xiao San said yes, and then left the big tent.

Xiao San personally led the team's first operation, just in case.

The commanders in the tent were all stunned when they heard Xiao San's 'team of ten'.

Ten people, break a city?It is still the capital of a country!

How can this be? !
"The armies are preparing for battle, ready to enter the city for street fighting."

Zhu Xiongying said lightly.

The eight coaches, although puzzled in their hearts, did not hesitate at all, and they all clasped their fists in agreement.

………………

In Ping'an capital, the real power core of Wa country.

The seat of the Muromachi Shogunate, the Imperial Palace of Flowers.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was wearing elegant white casual clothes, kneeling and sitting in the cherry blossom pavilion, with tea smoke curling up on the table, and several kabuki dancing in the cherry blossom forest, accompanied by drum music, qin and shakuhachi.

Opposite Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, sat a white-haired old man in a black kimono.

The white-haired old man enjoyed the music dance very much, his eyes fell on the dancing singer, and he almost got started.

This old man is Hatakeyama Zonghe, one of the three masters, and is also the oldest patriarch among the current seven major families. He has reached the age of 82 this year, and has always been known as a great sage in the eight realms of the Wa Kingdom.

"The Ming army outside the city is less than 30, but there are 40 defenders in Ping'an capital. No matter how the Ming army attacks, Ping'an capital cannot be breached. When the Ming army runs out of food and grass, it will definitely be defeated without a fight. Our army will fight again. , and win in one battle."

"At that time, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be captured alive, and the government's plan to unify the Ming Dynasty will be a great success. It will shock all countries in all directions. Who would dare not submit to the government's feet."

"The public side's strategizing, the ministers really admire."

Hatakeyama Zonghe said with a smile, even though he is over eighty years old, his flattering skills are not inferior to young people at all, one after another, without panting.

Gongfang, the Muromachi shogunate's honorific title for the general.

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has already given up the position of general to his eldest son, everyone knows that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the serious boss, and he dare not change his title randomly, he has to call it whatever he wants.

Even in front of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Hatakeyama Munekazu already called himself a "subject". After all, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to usurp the emperor, which was already known throughout Japan.

"Master Hatakeyama, if you think so, you are making a big mistake."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would not be so foolish as to believe that a man of God who could transfer 30 troops across the sea to the eight borders of the Wa Kingdom without anyone noticing could be trapped by "food and grass"

I don't even believe that this kind of people can be defeated by simple secular methods.

"Blessed by the heavens, there will always be a different law."

In Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's view, this Ming emperor must have been favored by the heavens just like him.

Just like unifying the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom, as long as I prayed devoutly to God every time before going to war, I could do many things that other people could not do.

Because of this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave the order that he could not hold on. He wanted to try the Ming Emperor's water first to see if it was as he imagined.

He will never play until he has figured it out.

Of course, he wasn't worried.

Because he is also actively preparing his own backhand, or in other words, his trump card.

In Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's view, as long as this card is in his hand, as long as he sacrifices this card himself, no matter how capable the emperor of Ming Dynasty is, he will leave his life in the Japanese territory this time, and he will die.

He just doesn't take it lightly, but never feels like he's going to lose.

He has even made up his mind that after taking down the Great Ming Emperor, he will not kill him for the time being, but will use the Great Ming Emperor as a hostage to force the Ming Dynasty to surrender and offer soil. At the same time, he will spread his reputation to other countries. Achievements ascended to the throne of the emperor.

Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was overjoyed.

"Master Hatakeyama, do you know why I am looking for you today?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't bother to go around with Hatakeyama and spoke directly.

Hatakeyama Munekazu was also taken aback. He really didn't know what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was looking for him for. He thought he was here to ask advice, but he just drank tea for a long time.

Although the Hatakeyama clan is one of the three managements, their current power is not as good as every year. In addition, Hatakeyama Zonghe is old and doesn't have the energy to make troubles.

"Your servant is stupid, please let the public express it."

Hatakeyama Zonghe asked doubtfully.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took a sip of tea with an easy-going smile on his face.

"I want to borrow Master Hatakeyama's head."

"God will bless your family, and I will treat your descendants well. Your son will succeed you, and your family will have three more guardian daimyos."

Hatakeyama Zonghe was taken aback, excuse me?

Whitebeard trembled instantly, and the cup in his hand knocked over with a 'click'.

"Public, public..."

Before Hatakeyama Zonghe could finish his begging for mercy, the Ashikaga retainers who had already prepared had already stepped forward, chopped Hatakeyama Zonghe with a knife, his head rolled several times on the ground, and finally stopped.

Until his death, the eyes of the 80-year-old Hatakeyama Sokazu were full of astonishment.

He couldn't figure out why he wanted to kill himself.

The dancers were all pale, but they didn't dare to stop, the same was true for the drum music, there was a hint of fear in the music.

"Put Hatakeyama's head on the main altar."

The maid next to him wiped the blood splashed on Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's face, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"Yes."

The retainer with the knife put Hatakeyama Sokazu's head in a wooden box and quickly stepped back.

"Ok?"

Sudden.

Yoshimitsu Ashikaga frowned.

He looked as far as the eye could see, and in the direction of the city gate, he saw the sky filled with smoke, and the noisy sounds filled the entire Heian capital.

what happened?

"Father!"

Ashikaga Yoshichi started back with a quick step, with a look of panic on his face.

"The Ming army has entered the city!"

Hearing his son's words, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not panic, but was surprised.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu knows better than anyone how strong Heian-kyo is, how could it be breached within a few hours.

"The Ming army had a force of more than a dozen people, somehow they overcame the city wall, and their combat power was amazing. Ten people broke through the defense formation of thousands of people and killed them before the city gate. Among them was a young man who pushed the city wall by himself. Open the Qianjin city gate."

Ashikaga Yoshichi said quickly.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was not surprised when he heard that a small army of only a dozen people killed the city wall and opened the city gate.

Jiancheng made a surprise plan. If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had such a strong team, he would definitely choose such a strategy, but unfortunately he didn't.

This made him even more interested in the young Ming emperor.

"There's no need to panic. Even if the Ming army invades, there are 40 warriors in Ping'an capital. Whether it's wolf hunting sheep or urn catching a turtle, everything is still unknown."

Twice the strength advantage of the Ming army, this is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's confidence.

And in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's subconscious mind, his Japanese slave warriors are more capable of street fighting in the city.

"Go, withdraw all the warriors from the palace."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said lightly.

This remark stunned Ashikaga Yoshichi, and the Ming army rushed into the city. If the samurai regiment around the emperor were withdrawn at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to sending the entire emperor's royal family into the fire.

But after thinking about it for a while, Ashikaga Yoshichi understood what his father meant.

Killing the emperor with the help of the Ming army, the position of the emperor can be changed naturally, without having to bear the notoriety of a regicide.

"Yes!"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu hurriedly went down to deliver the order, while Ashikaga Yoshimitsu began to change clothes under the service of the maid beside him.

Just weird.

Now that he is entering the street fighting in the city, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu should change his armor and lead the army to a showdown.

But at this time, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu changed into the yellow robe that was used for sacrifices. It didn't look like he was going to the battlefield, but rather he was going to practice magic.

At this moment, Ping An Jingzhong.

Whether it is the streets or the alleys, street fighting is going on like crazy.

But the battle situation is also strange. Almost all the streets and alleys are in the same battle situation, that is, the Ming army is chasing the wonu warriors to run, and the wonu warriors are like seeing a ghost. They have no fighting spirit and just want to run. Many of them were fleeing with missing arms or broken legs.

In fact, in terms of personal force alone, the Japanese slave warriors who advocated bushido in the entire army would not be much worse than the elite Ming army, and they might even be stronger fighting alone.

But the point is.

The current Ming army is no longer the same as before, and the equipment on its body has already been updated.

When the Jingying army was reorganized, Zhu Xiongying had already specifically told Tie Xuan that he must work with Tao Chengdao to make this matter happen, so that the combat power of the Jingying army could be transformed far beyond the quality of this era.

The Beijing battalion army he wants is in addition to the all-firearms troop of the Shenji battalion.

Even the infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Cavalry of the Nine Thousand Battalion, even ordinary sergeants, must be equipped with firearms.

For this reason, Tao Chengdao specially developed two simple and easy-to-use firearms after racking his brains in accordance with the spirit of His Majesty's instructions.

The first one, 'Maru Thunder'.

The second one, 'Arrow Thunder'.

The so-called "maru thunder" means that the bomb is only the size of a ball, and it can be carried with you. When it is not in use, it is wrapped in soft mud.

This thing is more like a large 'throwing cannon'.

However, the lethality is very limited, and it cannot kill people, but it is not a big problem to blow people up.

In a single-soldier battle, if the opponent suffers such a fall, half of his hands and feet will be disabled.

After being disabled, they can only wait to be slaughtered.

And 'Arrow Thunder'.

As the name suggests, this thing is combined with the 'arrow'.

Equipped with a special short crossbow, the arrow contains gunpowder, which explodes when it is hit. The power is smaller than that of the 'Maru Thunder', but there are many small pieces of iron inside the arrow. Under the impact of the explosion, it is enough to tie a person into pieces. hedgehog.

Although it is not lethal, it can make the opponent lose combat power and morale instantly. Coupled with the range of the short crossbow, it can surprise the enemy and defeat the enemy.

These two things cannot be used in frontal fighting in the wilderness. After all, fighting in the cold weapon era is too close, and explosion is an indiscriminate art. If you are not careful, you will blow up your own people.

Therefore, neither of these two kinds of mines came in handy when the chaos in the northern border was quelled in the country. It was a pity for Tao Chengdao. After all, this is a cross-generational masterpiece invented by him racking his brains.

But in street fighting.

These two kinds of mines are the perfect anti-enemy artifacts.

At this time, the streets and alleys of Heianjing were full of explosions, as if a firecracker was set off during the New Year.

The Japanese slave warriors were all blown away. Originally they were excitedly rushing forward with their knives in their hands, but the people on the opposite side didn’t fight. Then I found that my legs and feet were completely disabled.

And those Japanese slave warriors who found something was wrong and wanted to retreat temporarily were also very hard.

Because I can't run if I want to.

As soon as he turned around, the arrow wind of '咻咻咻' came.

This is nothing, after all, Japan also has such things as shuriken.

But they never expected that this crossbow would explode no matter whether it hits someone or not, even if it hits the door panel, and it would also eject sharp iron pieces in 360 degrees without dead ends, which was simply unavoidable.

Heian-kyo, Suzaku Street as the axis of the entire Kyoto.

Zhu Xiongying straddled a white horse and walked slowly, while Xiao San rode a black horse and followed Zhu Xiongying silently.

Scanning the two sides of Suzaku Avenue, the architectural style of Heianjing is very similar to Tang'an City, but it does not have the grandeur of Tang's Chang'an City. On the basis of the old Chang'an, it is exquisite and compact, adding a bit of unique flavor.

At the end of Suzaku Street, there is a direct link to Miyagi, the residence of the Emperor of Japan.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came loudly.

At the end of the Suzaku Avenue, Chang Tianci was leading more than a thousand riders towards him in high spirits. Among the thousands of riders, there was a group of delicate-skinned nobles, all tied up with hemp ropes one by one.

In the middle is a young man, surrounded by a group of people, wearing luxurious golden robes.

"Hurry up!"

After Chang Tianci scolded, he rode his horse first and came to Zhu Xiongying, grinning loudly.

"Your Majesty, bring the Emperor of Japan and the royal family of Japan!"

Chang Tianci was high-spirited, after he entered Ping'an capital, he immediately led people to attack Miyagi, originally planning to fight fiercely.

But who knew, when Chang Tianci led his troops to the front of the palace, in theory Miyagi should have the strongest military strength, but there were no guards at the gate, what a joke in the world.

In fact, there were thousands of samurai guarding Miyagi, but they were all transferred away by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately.

Since it was a free gift of fat, Chang Tianci would naturally not be polite, and rushed in with people, and chopped at anyone with a knife.

It took only half an hour before and after, the imperial palace was taken down, and all the royal family of the Wa Kingdom in the palace were captured alive.

Among them is the contemporary emperor of Japan, Emperor Komatsu, the father of the legendary monk Ikkyu.

Zhu Xiongying reined in his horse slightly, and glanced at the Japanese royal family indifferently. These people who were rich and well-fed on weekdays all had their hair down and trembled under Zhu Xiongying's gaze.

Finally, Zhu Xiongying's eyes fell on the young man in the crowd.

Empress Komatsu, who just turned 21 this year, was wearing a luxurious gold robe, and his face was full of timidity. As the emperor of a country, he didn't even have a few decent samurai guards around him, and the mess was really miserable.

Being watched by Zhu Xiongying, the emperor of the Japanese kingdom was embarrassed, his knees suddenly softened, and he knelt down on Zhu Xiongying's horse with a 'plop', trembling all over.

"Emperor Ming is here."

"降菙する (We surrender)."

Hou Xiaosong, who was kneeling on the ground, kept repeating this sentence in his mouth.

On both sides of Zhuque Street, countless Japanese people looked at their emperor, the god they worshiped, through the windows, kneeling in front of the Ming emperor like a dog.

The belief in the Japanese people's heart collapsed.

They could no longer shout that 'Long live the Emperor'.

Zhu Xiongying looked down at the trembling Empress Komatsu, and he understood why the Wakai had existed for so many years in such a strange thing as the shogunate, with the imperial power falling aside and the samurai family in power.

The emperor is such a coward, and the emperor's power can be stabilized.

"Your Majesty, these are the three artifacts of the Wa Kingdom."

Xu Huizu came here on horseback at this time, and asked people to present the "Grass shaving sword, Yata mirror, and Hachinohe Qionggouyu" that symbolized the imperial power of the Japanese kingdom.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at these three things, and with a thought, the three 'artifacts' all rose up in the air.

Then the 'Three Artifacts' continued to rise into the sky. At this height, no matter whether it was Emperor Komatsu who was kneeling on the ground, or other Japanese people in Heianjing, they could clearly see these three artifacts.

In their hearts, this is the symbol of imperial power, the divine right.

Zhu Xiongying looked away.

'boom. '

In one thought, the three artifacts turned into powder.

Zhu Xiongying looked calm and didn't care about these things.

As for this battle.

He understands better that the emperor is just a display, and if he really wants to put down the Japanese slaves, he must kill the shogunate, that is, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

"Your Majesty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is on the altar at the Nakagomon Gate."

Xiao San slightly rode forward, said in a deep voice.

　Work hard to resume normal updates, and it is estimated that the discussion and comment areas of this chapter will be restored in a few days.
