Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 236 Captured the Emperor of Japan, the Shogun
After several small-scale battles, the outer sentinels of Wa Kingdom were basically wiped out by the Ming army.

The Ming army led by Guo Zixing and Mao Gui soon officially started fighting with the Japanese army of Ashikaga Yoshikan.

Both sides are full of confidence in themselves!

The Japanese army formed a huge horizontal formation, with more than 30 people densely packed and stretching for more than [-] miles. Except for tens of thousands of people staying in the capital city, all the soldiers and horses of the Japanese country were placed here.

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshizen saw that the Ming army really had less than 2 people, and he was already ecstatic in his heart.

"Battle one out of ten, no matter how strong the Ming army is, it is impossible to win!"

"When the Ming army is defeated, I will lead the army to the south to completely unify Japan, then destroy all the docks and ports, close the country, and prevent the Ming army from setting foot on Japanese soil!"

The shogun Ashikaga Yoshikan already has his own layout for the future.

but.

According to Guo Zixing, Mao Gui, and Guo Tianci, Ashikaga Yoshikan's odds of winning are actually no more than [-]%.

The scouts of the Ming army investigated all the formations of the Wa Kingdom clearly.

"These Japanese pirates are really stupid to death. All the soldiers and horses are in a dense phalanx. They can't be mobilized at all, and they will only be beaten passively!"

Guo Tianci looked at the information in his hand and said with a smile.

"You didn't even hide the ambush?" Mao Gui was also a little surprised.

According to the general principle, so many soldiers and horses should not be put out at once, but a part should be reserved as an ambush, and when the battle is in full swing, they will suddenly appear and kill one by surprise!
but.

The Japanese pirates on the opposite side obviously still can't master these military skills.

"These Japanese pirates are all serfs, all of whom were forcibly conscripted. If you don't put them under your nose and guard them with soldiers, if you dare to let them hide, they will all run away without a trace!" Guo Zixing explained with a smile.

Among all the generals of the Ming army, Guo Zixing understood the habits of the Japanese people best.

Because, after Guo Zixing came to the country of Japan, he took in more than 20 beauties of the country of Japan in one breath, including women of famous nobles and serf women of humble background. Someone knows better than Guo Zixing.

After all, ordinary people cannot do so many in-depth exchanges.

Faced with the clumsy formation of the Japanese army, the Ming army was naturally unceremonious, and directly used the big killer in its own army.

artillery!

Today's Ming army artillery is already the second full refit.

This batch of artillery is all the latest models shipped from Yingtianfu not long ago.

Unlike the previous brass cannons, this latest batch of cannons are all iron cannons!

With the commissioning of Daming Yingtian Iron Works, Daming has excellent high-quality steel.

Compared with brass cannons, iron cannons are not only cheaper, but also lighter, and their power is not weak at all.

The more than 1 Ming troops in Wa were equipped with a total of more than 130 artillery pieces.

Almost every flag team has a cannon.

Today, these more than 130 new artillery pieces are all placed in front of the formation by the Ming army.

Boom boom boom!
The Ming army, which fired first, immediately achieved very good results.

The Japanese army was in the middle of the formation, and several flesh and blood channels were shot out in an instant!

These powerful shells cannot be blocked by the human body at all.

There were bursts of tragic wailing in the Japanese pirate army.

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshikane's face was livid, and he immediately gave the order to fire back.

The Japanese craftsman technology still has some foundation.

After all, the basic technical requirements for bronze cannons are not high. As long as you have the technology to cast Buddha statues, you can make bronze cannons.

There are many Buddhist temples in Japan, and many Buddha statues are built, so naturally some bronze cannons can be made.

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshikane almost ransacked his family property and built more than 20 bronze cannons.

Each of these cannons is very heavy, and after being placed on the ground, they cannot move like the artillery of the Ming army.

The Japanese artillery finally opened fire.

Boom!

The sound of Japanese artillery was dull, like a dull thunder that had been suppressed for a long time.

This is because their gunpowder technology is not good, the combustion efficiency is very low, and they cannot make the crisp sound like the Ming army artillery.

As for the effect of shelling, it is naturally not good.

The power of Japanese pirate artillery is equivalent to the minimum power of Ming army artillery.

At such a long distance, even if it could hit the Ming army's position, it would not cause any damage at all.

Boom boom boom!
The loading speed of the artillery of the Ming army was much faster than that of the Japanese pirates. After shelling again and again, the Japanese pirates suffered heavy losses, while the Ming army basically suffered no casualties.

If the fight continues like this, Ashikaga Yoshikan's army will die in vain.

"idiot!"

"Our artillery, why not?"

"It must be those lowly craftsmen who are lazy. After returning, we must kill them all!"

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshikan was so out of breath that he had to give the order to start charging forward.

If the Japanese army can rush up and fight with the Ming army, then the Japanese pirates' superiority in numbers can be used.

"Onboard!"

"Onboard!"

Amidst the crazy cries of the Japanese pirates, tens of thousands of Japanese pirates rushed towards the Ming army.

Guo Zixing watched the Japanese army begin to charge, with a mocking smile on his face.

"It's only been a few rounds of shelling, and the Japanese pirates can't stand it!"

Mao Gui also laughed loudly, "The Japanese pirates thought they wouldn't be bombarded if they got close, but they were wrong!"

The artillery of the Ming army can basically fire shotguns.

Compared with solid bullets, shotguns fired at close range are more lethal.

The Japanese pirates who rushed up quickly learned the power of the Ming army's shotgun.

Boom boom boom, the sound of artillery cannons sounded again on the battlefield.

The shotguns fired by the Ming army were like death, killing all the Japanese pirates who approached on the battlefield.

These Japanese pirates who rushed to kill were all farmers who were forcibly recruited.

Their morale was almost close to zero, and they couldn't continue to persevere under such a tragic artillery attack.

The Ming army only used one round of shelling to kill the Japanese pirates who rushed up and fled.

The Japanese pirates' charge did not achieve any results except for leaving corpses all over the ground.

When the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshikane saw this, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

"Baga, Lu! God Amaterasu's face has been completely lost by these slaves!"

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshikan drew out the Japanese sword at his waist, pointed at the fleeing infantry, and ordered the execution of the soldiers who retreated first among them.

Click!

Click!

Click!

With the continuous slashing, the heads of the Japanese infantrymen fell to the ground one by one.

These bloody heads inspired the Japanese pirates to their final brutality.

Driven by the Japanese pirate warriors, the infantry composed of these serfs charged the Ming army again.

The Ming army commanded by Guo Zixing and Mao Gui didn't pay much attention to these ants-like Japanese infantry.

The fact is exactly the same, these Japanese pirate infantry were once again massacred by the artillery fire of the Ming army.

The tragic casualties made it impossible for these Japanese infantrymen to continue fighting. Regardless of the supervision of the warriors, they all scattered and fled on the battlefield.

The defeat of the Japanese pirates on the battlefield immediately terrified Ashikaga Yoshikan.

If the Ming army could defeat the Japanese infantry with only artillery, then when the Ming army started a full-scale charge, the Japanese would have no soldiers to stop the Ming cavalry.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was very afraid of the cavalry of the Ming army. He just wanted to use Japanese infantry to delay the cavalry charge. If the infantry collapsed prematurely, the main force of the Japanese pirates would be in danger.

"Ogura Shintakero!"

With an order from Ashikaga Yoshiken, he decided to send out his own capable generals.

"Hey! General, please give the order!"

Ogura Shintakero immediately rushed over to answer.

"I'll give you [-] elites, immediately go up from the flanks and kill the artillery of the Guangming Army!" Ashikaga Yoshikane said loudly.

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, Shintakero Ogura immediately led his men to charge on the battlefield.

The artillery fire of the Ming army has caused the Japanese infantry to be defeated on the frontal battlefield.

The elite Japanese pirates led by Shinwuro Ogura sneaked forward from the flanks. When they suddenly appeared, they were already less than a hundred steps away from the Ming army.

At such a short distance, the Ming army artillery had just fired once, and it was too late to reload and launch.

"kill!"

"Onboard! Onboard!"

Shintakero Ogura took the lead, holding up the long spear in his hand, and began to charge towards the Ming army, yelling.

The Japanese pirate infantry blocked the Ming army's sight, and now facing the sudden appearance of these elite Japanese pirates, the artillery immediately fell into a passive position.

but.

According to the drill code of the Ming army, there is a complete set of plans to deal with this situation.

"The pirates are coming to die again!"

Guo Tianci snorted coldly, and immediately raised the order flag in his hand.

Seeing this, the orderly next to him immediately issued corresponding orders.

With the sound of horns, the cavalry of the Ming army received orders and immediately began to attack.

"Woooooo!"

drive drive drive!
Boom!Boom!
Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the battle formation, like a tiger descending the mountain, and immediately rushed towards the elite Japanese pirates.

"cavalry!?"

"How to do?!"

The elite Japanese pirates led by Shinwuro Ogura immediately fell into panic when they saw the cavalry of the Ming army charging towards them with an unstoppable momentum.

The arms of the Ming army that Japanese pirates feared most were neither infantry nor artillery, but precisely these cavalry.

The cavalry of the Ming army were well-equipped and their horses were tall and fast. In previous conflicts, they often defeated the Japanese pirates with zero casualties.

"Array!"

Ogura Shinwuro yelled, and immediately ordered to organize defense in place.

He also did not expect that the cavalry of the Ming army could be dispatched so quickly, without giving the shogunate army a chance to sneak attack.

soon.

The cavalry of the Ming army rushed to the elite Japanese pirates like a huge wave.

A large number of Japanese pirates had no time to fight back, and they were knocked down by the cavalry of the Ming army.

Afterwards, horseshoes trampled on these Japanese pirates, causing them to howl and die.

The elite Japanese pirates led by Shinwuro Ogura had no strength to fight back in front of the cavalry of the Ming army.

Soon, some Japanese pirates couldn't hold on, and turned their heads and ran away on the battlefield screaming in horror.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

When Ogura Shintakero saw this, he was immediately startled and terrified.

If this continues, they will only be slaughtered.

Ogura Shintakero decided to give it a go.

He immediately ordered to charge the cavalry of the Ming army actively, and counterattacked with the long spear and Japanese sword in his hand.

but.

In the face of the powerful combat power of the cavalry of the Ming army, in fact, the results of the Japanese pirates' resistance and non-resistance are similar.

In front of the cavalry of the Ming army, these small Japanese pirates are like children who resist adults, so everything is in vain.

The unstoppable momentum of the Ming army cavalry immediately turned the counterattack of the Japanese pirates into a joke.

Ogura Shintakero lay on the ground, only feeling a sharp pain in his back, which made him almost unable to breathe.

In the battle just now, the cavalry of the Ming army knocked him to the ground from behind, and the hard horseshoe trampled on his back hard.

He was almost certain that at least several of his ribs were broken.

For the first time, Ogura Shintakero, who had been born and died for the shogunate for many years, felt the fear of death.

"Cough cough!!"

"Help, help!"

Ogura Shintakero struggled and shouted, trying to keep the Ming army from killing him.

However, his ugly and ferocious expression made the Ming army think that the Japanese pirate who was so seriously injured was really shouting and provoking.

drive!
A cavalryman of the Ming army held up his lance and stabbed lightly downwards, severely shattering Ogura Shintakero's cervical spine.

Shintakero Ogura, the number one general of the Japanese shogunate, died on the battlefield in such a hurry.

The shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshizen saw that his most elite samurai group was killed by the Ming army chopping melons and vegetables, and immediately lost all his courage.

"The Ming army is too terrifying!"

"It turns out that they have been hiding their strength before!"

"God Amaterasu, please bless me!"

Ashikaga Yoshikan was extremely terrified and had almost lost the ability to think.

When he saw the immobile Ming army, great fear surged in his heart, and he wished he could turn around and run away immediately.

but.

Ashikaga Yoshiken knew that as the Shogun, he had no escape and could only make a last-ditch effort.

"All troops charge!"

"Follow me!"

Ashikaga Yoshikane, like a hunted beast, made the final resistance.

. . . .

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the battlefield was full of blood and flesh.

A large number of Japanese pirate soldiers died on the battlefield.

Some of them were bombarded into pieces by artillery, some were stabbed to death by Ming army cavalry, and some were hit vitally by Ming army with muskets.

but.

More Japanese pirates died in the crowding and trampling of each other during their flight.

More than [-] Japanese pirates were placed on a narrow battlefield. Once they are completely defeated, this will inevitably lead to such an ending.

"Father, this is Ashikaga Yoshikan, the Japanese shogunate general!"

Guo Tianci led the soldiers and escorted a small Japanese pirate prisoner to the Chuyang King Guo Zixing and Mao Gui.

"Okay, okay!" Guo Zixing laughed happily.

"Little Japanese pirate, overthinking his own strength, cut off his head and gave it to His Majesty!" Mao Gui said.

Guo Zixing had other plans, "Don't kill him yet, it's best to send him alive to Ying Tian Mansion, let His Majesty and King Ying decide his life or death."

"That's right, then do as the old brother said!" Mao Gui also nodded in agreement.

The combat power of the Japanese pirate army was really low. Ashikaga Yoshizen took the lead in charging, not only did not achieve any effect of turning defeat into victory, but instead made the Japanese pirate army lose more quickly.

Not only the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshizen was captured by the Ming army, but almost all the Japanese pirates and the noble daimyos of the Northern Dynasty either died on the battlefield or were captured by the Ming army.

A big defeat completely deprived the Japanese pirate defenders of Kyoto of the courage to resist.

When the Ming army arrived at the city of Kyoto, Emperor Yu Gao of the Northern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom in the city of Kyoto voluntarily announced his abdication in order to save his dog's life, and then ordered to leave the city to surrender.

Guo Zixing and Mao Gui were also very happy to capture the Emperor of Japan.

Not long after the war started, the Ming army captured the shogun and the emperor, and then wiped out the Japanese pirate forces everywhere, which was basically easy.
