Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

All of a sudden, densely packed arrows flew randomly in the forest, some pierced the shield, some hit the armor of the Song Army, and some fell to the ground.

The crossbowmen of the Song army behind the tree began to fight back with crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows shuttled through the forest.

The Japanese without armor have almost no defense, and they will not die or be injured if they are shot.

The two sides fought at a distance to compete with each other.

After a while, the Japanese ran out of bows and arrows, and there were no bows and arrows in the forest.

Wang Yun shouted loudly: "Attack!"

As soon as he gave an order, the shield holders in the front row moved forward first, and the sword and ax hands in the back immediately followed.

The Japanese on the slope saw that their comrades below were killed horribly, and the bows and arrows did not have any deterrent effect on the Song army. They were distracted for a while, and they all showed panic and turned around and ran away.

At this time, it is time for the two sides to compete in physical strength.

Obviously, Song Jun's physical strength is much better than that of the Japanese.

Although the Japanese fled in a panic, they were quickly killed by the Song army who was chasing up.

Killed with no strength to fight back.

Not long after, hundreds of Japanese were cleaned up in the forest, and some were captured.

The fighting in the forest was seen by passing woodcutters and farmers, who were frightened and fled in panic.

The news quickly spread to the village, which caused panic in the village. Some people rushed to report to the city lord's mansion, saying that pirates of unknown origin had landed.

At this time, all the captured Japanese were taken back to the barracks.

Liu Bing, Zhang Yang, and the remaining eight Song people who followed them also returned to the barracks safely.

"Brother! Brother!" Liu Chu brought water and eagerly called Liu Bing, who was still in shock.

"Ah?" Liu Bing trembled all over. When he came back to his senses, he was still gasping for breath, his complexion was still pale, and everything seemed like a dream.

"Third brother, why are you here?" Liu Bing hugged Liu Chu excitedly, crying loudly, "Didn't you study at school? Why are you here?"

"I came here with the court's Master Wang, brother, it's all right, it's all right, Master Wang is here, it's all right!"

Chapter 1200 Things Are Going Big (Second Update)

Liu Bing and Zhang Yang were obviously very frightened. If Wang Yun and others were late, they might be the ghosts of the Japanese.

After a battle, Song Jun did not move on.

As a striker, Zhang Rong came to find Liu Bing and Zhang Yang.

These two people arrived in Japan at the end of last year. They are businessmen in name, but they are actually supported by Qian Xianggong. Otherwise, how could they recruit Xiangyong from Hangzhou to Japan?

Naturally, the purpose of coming to them is to quickly understand the progress of mining. Has it started yet?How's it going?

After all, Han Shizhong's purpose is to mine.

Now after a fight with the Japanese, Liu Bing and Zhang Yang were overly frightened and their mental state was not very good. Zhang Rong was not in a hurry to march.

One is that the Song army had just landed and did not have a deep understanding of the situation in Japan.

Although both Sima Du and Liu Chu knew about Japan, their understanding was still not deep enough. At least the reason why Liu Bing and others were hunted down was not well understood so far.

What the hell are the Japanese trying to do?

Where is the main force of Shi Jianguo?

These are unknowns.

Zhang Rong is not a careless person.

The second is that Liu Bing and Zhang Yang have been found, and the details of the mining will be learned in detail after they recover.

Next, Zhang Rong first sent people to inquire about the situation, and then sent people to the surrounding villages to inquire about the situation.

That afternoon, Han Shizhong and Zhao Chen, who stayed at the port, received a report from Zhang Rong.

After reading it, Han Shizhong immediately sensed something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the Japanese have a very respectful attitude towards the Song Dynasty and would not do anything to the Song people. I am afraid there is something hidden behind this.

That afternoon, Han Shizhong personally led the army and landed in Shi Jianguo along Zhang Rong's road.

He also left some soldiers and horses on board.

At noon the next day, Ouchi Hiroka was drinking at his home and watching the dancers dance. The spring sunshine fell on the backyard, which was extraordinarily comfortable.

"Has He Yang Shengyuan come back?" Ouchi Hiroka asked.

"Not yet."

The person who answered the call was He Yang Baozhong.

The Heyang clan is also one of the branches of the Duoduoliang clan, but it is not as powerful as the Ouchi clan, the population is not as large as the Ouchi clan, and the money is even worse.

"I set off yesterday, how could it take so long to kill those Song people?" Ouchi Hiroka muttered, "Is there any mistake?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ouchi, there will be no mistakes. We have investigated those Song people long ago. There are very few of them. He Yangjun is going to sneak attack them, and nothing will happen."

"This matter was arranged by His Excellency Fujiwara Tadakiyo, and it is the meaning of Daisuke Chubu!"

"Yes! Don't worry! Nothing will happen!"

At this moment, there was a sound of stumbling outside.

"Report! Something bad happened, the assassination failed, the assassination failed!"

Ouchi Hiroya and He Yang Baozhong stood up in surprise, only to see several wounded people being brought up.

"Patriarch, our assassination failed!"

"What's going on?" Ouchi Hiroka scolded angrily.

"Suddenly a large group of people came out in the middle. These people are too powerful. They have crossbows and armor!"

"Put on armor!" Ouchi Hong's family was shocked, "How many people are there?"

"Hundreds."

Only a small part of Japan's army can wear armor. How can there be armored soldiers in Iwami?

"Could it be that the army of the Great Song Dynasty landed?" He Yang Baozhong exclaimed strangely.

"Nonsense! Da Song is thousands of miles away from here, how could someone come to our Shi Jian country!"

"There is also Song Army in Goryeo in the north. Could it come from there?"

"I have to go to the city lord's mansion now!" The Ouchi Hiro family looked nervous, and hurried to clean up, and rushed to Tatara's castle.

At noon, Han Shizhong's troops joined Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong once again reported yesterday's situation and some of the interrogation.

However, Han Shizhong and Zhao Chen decided to review it again. After all, there are some Japanese pronunciations that require someone like Sima Du to appear.

Han Shizhong and Zhao Chen first met Liu Bing and Zhang Yang in person.

Liu Bing and Zhang Yang rested for a day before their mental state gradually recovered.

"Brother, this is Han Shizhong and Han Shuai, and this is His Royal Highness King Liao." Liu Chu introduced Liu Bing and Zhang Yang.

Han Shizhong's prestige is naturally thunderous, not to mention that Liu Bing followed Qian Yuqing, and used to often support Liaodong with food.

He couldn't be more familiar with Han Shizhong.

"Grassmen, see Marshal Han, see His Royal Highness King Liao!" The two hurriedly saluted, but their bodies could not help but tremble slightly.

"Don't be too polite, why did the Japanese chase you down?"

"We don't know. This morning, we took people to go to the silver mine to patrol, and suddenly a group of people came out halfway, and most of our guards were killed."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yang burst into tears. He was very emotional and couldn't speak clearly: "We dug some silver mines locally, and did nothing else."

Zhao Chen said with a cold face: "Catch the captured Japanese!"

Soon, the captured Japanese were brought up.

The leader was a young man, short and thin, who looked like a water monkey. His name was He Yang Shengyuan.

He was the best dressed of them all, in a sackcloth with the fewest patches.

"Tell him, tell him the truth, or you'll kill him." Zhao Chen said to Sima Du.

Sima Du began to ask questions. Sima Du knew the language of Japanese commoners, and he spoke Kansai dialect. Although there were many differences from Shi Jianguo's accent, he could barely understand it.

"Why did you kill my Da Song people?"

The young man shouted in noisy Japanese civilian language: "I am from the He Yang family of Shi Jian Country. Who are you? If you dare to trespass on my Shi Jian Country, our lord will not spare you!"

Sima Du translated it once, and Zhao Chen said coldly, "Chop off his hand!"

A Song soldier on one side pulled out the knife from his waist without saying a word, and another Song soldier pulled out the young man's hand. The young man was so frightened that he immediately gave in and shouted: "It's Ouchi Hiroshi who made us do this!" I did! Spare me!"

"Stop." Zhao Chen said flatly.

The Song Army soldier didn't cut it down.

Sima Du hurriedly began to translate.

Zhao Chen asked again: "Who is the Hiroshi Ouchi family?"

Liu Bing quickly said: "It's a nobleman from Shi Jian country, and the younger brother of the lord Duoduo Liangmao Village."

He also didn't expect that the Ouchi clan was instigating behind the scenes. He remembered that when he first came here, he gave some gifts to Ouchi Hiroshi's family. They were all brought by Da Song, but they were hard to buy at high prices in Japan. arrived.

Liu Bing continued: "When I came here before, I visited Ouchi Hong's family. He was very kind, accepted my gift, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with us. There are no figures, but at least they didn’t come to trouble us!”

Chapter 1201 Declare war?Then start the siege in Japan! (third change)

Zhang Yang was still very emotional, his hands were trembling, his breathing was a little short of breath, he was a little nervous, and he was a little annoyed.

He said: "I said long ago that these barbarians have no good intentions. They probably saw us digging up silver, and they sent people to kill us if they were jealous!"

Wang Yun asked, "How much did you dig?"

"I have dug up 1 taels!"

"It's not a matter of discussing how much money we dug up now." Zhao Chen walked over, walked around these Japanese people a few times, and looked at them carefully.

The Japanese were short, dark, and hideous, and although they looked thin, they reminded him of fierce beasts in the jungle.

Zhao Chen said: "That is to say, it is the regular army of Iwami Kingdom of Japan who attacked you?"

Sima Du translated and asked, and then answered Zhao Chen's doubts: "He said that some of them were warriors from the lord's faction, and the other part were bandits from the surrounding areas. They promised that they would get money when things were done."

Wang Yun said: "It makes sense, bandits must not have so many bows and arrows, and there must be support from the local lord behind them."

There are thresholds for making bows and arrows, and bows and arrows cannot be made with just wood and rope.

There are also thresholds for archers. For example, in the Song Dynasty in the past, before the popularity of bows and crossbows, archers were all elites, and they were selected from the crowd with the strongest strength.

Even with bows and crossbows now, archers are one of the indispensable arms.

Zhao Chen pointed at He Yang Shengyuan, and said coldly: "Ask him, since Ouchi Hong's family knew that they were from my Great Song Dynasty, why did they dare to attack them? Don't you know that my Great Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven? ? Even people from the Celestial Dynasty dare to kill?”

Sima Du asked again, and got an answer: "He said he didn't know, he was just following orders, and the order was to kill these Song people."

"These Japanese are too courageous. His Majesty the Emperor rewarded them with the opportunity to do business with us, but they dared to kill my people in the Song Dynasty in private."

This year's Zhao Chen seems to be a different person from the prince back then.

In other words, Zhao Chen has grown beyond recognition.

He has a very strong military style, his tone of questioning is strong, and he is decisive in the details of his work.

Circumstances and experiences change a person across the board.

When a person is changed and becomes more mature, he can't go back to the way he used to be.

"What's the background of this Da Nei family?" Zhao Chen looked at Sima Du with an undisguised killing intent in his calm voice, "How many soldiers and horses and armor do they have?"

Simadu was in a difficult situation for a while, but Liu Chu said: "The lord of Ishijian country is Duo Liang clan, and the Ouchi clan is a branch of Duo Liang clan. One, it belongs to the regular official establishment of Japan, and we don't know exactly how many soldiers and horses there are."

"Regular official establishment, dare to arrange for people to attack people in my Song Dynasty! Does this count as the lord of Japan declaring war on my Song Dynasty?"

Everyone was silent for a while, Zhang Rong said: "I think His Royal Highness Liao Wang is right. This is the lord of Japan declaring war on us! Their officials personally arranged for people to kill our people. This is no longer a civil vendetta!"

Zhao Chen pointed to He Yang Shengyuan and said, "Keep these few people, and kill all the other Japanese."

"Don't keep it for mining?" Zhang Yang couldn't help asking.
