Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 42

On that day, the city gate of Kyoto was breached!
A powerful family intends to attack and lead the emperor's family to retreat, but finds that there are Yuan troops at the gate of the palace!

Therefore, they could only retreat by themselves, and the defeated army fled around the city without any organization. Looting, murder and arson occurred frequently.

After Fan Zhuoyuan's army entered the city, according to the original plan, it was divided into multiple divisions, and first controlled the important areas such as the palace, ordnance, food and grass.

Then they wiped out one by one in different neighborhoods and cities, and the [-] troops who lost their organization were completely helpless in this organized strangulation.

Occasionally, warriors with strong swordsmanship launched counterattacks through sneak attacks and other means. However, after the initial success, they could only be forced into a corner and died under the guns and knives in the face of an army formation with no shortcomings. .

In this era, even a warrior as strong as Guo Jing would be hard-pressed to do anything against a large army.

Otherwise, how could the Southern Song Dynasty, which had more abundant civil forces, perish at the hands of Meng Yuan?
During the Warring States period, Qi's martial arts were not as good as Wei Wuzu's, and Wei Wuzu's loss to Qin Ruishi may be a reflection of this.

Entering the stage of full-scale encirclement and suppression, Fan Zhuoyuan no longer participated in specific battles. He was located on the tower of the palace city, watching the situation in the city condescendingly, and occasionally issued instructions as messengers.

Emperor Kameyama was right beside Fan Zhuoyuan. He was short in stature. Standing beside Fan Zhuoyuan, whose body was different from ordinary people, it was as if he was kneeling.

At this time, Fan Zhuoyuan had already taken off the ghost-mask bronze armor, seeing Fan Zhuoyuan's true face of the Emperor for the first time, this time his whole body was even more excited, never seen such a vicious person!

He secretly thought: General, you might as well wear a ghost mask instead, it will be more kind.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the Queen of Heaven before, and he no longer had any interest. Stripped of his status as a god-given monarch, he is not even as good as an ordinary person.

What's more, now that he is a prisoner, he is at his disposal, and Fan Zhuoyuan is also a little hesitant about how to deal with the emperor's family.

Is it to kill all the family, or to kill all the family?
Fan Zhuoyuan, who had not received the next step from the imperial court at this time, could indeed deal with it at will. In the future, he would find an excuse to say that the emperor resisted fiercely, and had to kill his entire family in the chaos.

However, although doing so satisfies the nation's desire for revenge, it is not in line with the current interests. The emperor's signboard will still be of some help to the future rule of Japan.

If they kill their entire clan, maybe it will cause a full-scale counterattack from the civilians to the warrior class. Although it is not impossible to suppress, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to myself, and many people under my command will die.

His 2 troops had already lost more than [-] people in order to conquer Japan, and Fan Zhuoyuan didn't want his men to die any more.

While thinking, Fan Zhuoyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the emperor again, until the emperor trembled all over.

Fan Zhuoyuan thought in his heart: Since it is not easy to kill, let his whole family be tied back to Yuan Dadu, let them dance in Honglu Temple, in short, don't even think about coming back in this life.

In this way, there is no need to kill the emperor's family to cause a large-scale rebellion, and it can also eliminate the risk of some people using the emperor as a spiritual banner to jointly rebel in the future.

Most importantly, it also castrated the object of the ultimate allegiance of the Japanese bushido spirit.Cooperating with the current various policies, the warrior class will definitely disappear completely.

While Fan Zhuoyuan was thinking about how to castrate and transform Japan in the future, various tragedies were happening in the chaotic city of Kyoto.

The kendo hall where Hojo Chohide was located was completely closed at this time.

He took in many samurai who had fled. At this time, Kyoto fell, and Hojo Nagahide knew that it was useless to continue to resist, so it was better to save the useful body for the future.

At this time, the gate of the Kendo Hall was smashed open by the Yuan army, and a group of soldiers in iron armor came in with guns and an interpreter beside them.

After the translator came in, he looked at the warriors with hatred on his face, "It's them! I saw them hiding in with my own eyes! These bastards raped and killed my sister in the street some time ago, and today I want you to pay for it!"

The soldier captain frowned slightly and slapped the interpreter, the voice in the ghost mask was muffled.

"You are only asked to promote our military policy, not to let you command our army! If you don't obey orders, we don't care about killing you and changing another translator."

The interpreter was all excited, and turned his head to the group of warriors and said: "Yuan Jun's order, as long as you are willing to obey the sword hunting order and the military ban, put down your weapons and surrender, and close the kendo hall, Yuan Jun can guarantee the safety of your family."

Many samurai were furious, Hojo Changhide said: "The samurai sword is our second life! How can we give it up! And the closure of the kendo hall will let us cultivate swordsmanship talents in the future!"

"This is a decree of the Yuan army. It has been fully implemented in the ruled area, and there is no room for concessions! Do you think that now is the time for you to cut off the imperial guard and act recklessly!"

Hearing that the other party actually intended to resist, the interpreter was very pleased, wishing that they would resist and be killed by the Yuan army.

"idiot!"

A samurai drew out his sword in a rage, and beheaded the translator with one blow, blood spattering on the spot.

The soldiers immediately lined up, with their spears facing outwards and walking towards the warrior.

The samurai was also staunch and strong in martial arts. With a roar, he rushed towards the spear formation, slashed several times, swung the spear in front of him, squeezed into the formation sideways, and slashed at the neck of the soldier in front of him with his sword.

But Renjia's whole body was defended, with almost no exposed parts, and the armor on the neck was extremely thick. This knife cut down the soldier, but it failed to really hurt him.

The nearby sword and shield soldiers immediately charged with their shields, swinging their knives back from different angles.

Two fists were no match for four hands, the warrior was immediately pushed out of the spear array, and more spears came to stab him in the face!
Pierce it, pick it up into the air, and then drop it to the ground.

Seeing that his companion was killed, Hojo Changhide also pulled out his long sword, and said loudly: "Close the door and kill them all here! Don't let anyone know!"

Nearly [-] warriors couldn't bear it anymore, they drew their swords one after another, and started fighting with these [-] soldiers.

Fighting for a cup of tea, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Soldiers have advantages in formation and equipment, while warriors have superb swordsmanship.

Hojo Chohide shook off the thick shield with all his strength, and dodged to avoid the saber swung by the soldier. With both hands holding the sword from bottom to top, he pierced through the opponent's unarmored armpit, killing the soldier in front of him.

The infantry armor is thick, and only this method can cause effective damage. Otherwise, even if you condense the sword light and slash, you can only slash the opponent, and it is difficult to cause fatal injuries.

After killing the soldiers in front of him, five soldiers fell under Hojo Changxiu's sword. He looked around sweating profusely. The warriors had dispersed the formation of the Yuan army and prevented them from warning. This battle should be victorious. up.

But it seems that there are not many people left on our side... At best, it can only be regarded as a tragic victory. After winning, we have to immediately think about how to get out of the city. We must call Ah Ren. He doesn't know where he is going at this time, which is really troublesome what.

At this time the door was pushed open from the outside, Hojo Nagahide looked in surprise, and found that it was actually his master Nian Ami Ciyin.

Holding a rosary, he appeared here in a monk's robe, stepping on a pool of blood, like a Buddha appearing in hell.

Hojo Changhide said happily: "Master! We can't stay in Kyoto anymore!"

Ciyin nodded slightly, rushed into the remaining scattered Yuan army with bare hands, and quickly killed them all.

"Oh, it's really admirable that Master Ciyin still has such strength at such an advanced age."

A surviving warrior gasped in admiration.

Ciyin showed a smiling face at him, and suddenly thrust out a palm, piercing his heart and protruding from the back.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, Hojo Chohide sweated from his forehead, and said in astonishment, "Master?"

Ciyin still kept smiling, he snatched the warrior's saber, and swung his sword fiercely to kill the surviving warriors!
