My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 82 What Amaterasu?I believe in Mazu now.

"Your Excellency, the attack has failed again!"

The snow in Kyushu Island is earlier this year than in previous years.

This is the 8th day of the war between the two sides.

In the past 8 days, we have stormed, sneaked, and circled from other places.

Ashikaga Yoshichi has used various methods, and the position opposite the gorge is still as firm as a rock.

In the past 8 days, the Japanese side suffered heavy losses.

According to statistics last night, the number of dead has reached more than 2.

As the heavy snow fell, the morale that had already fallen into a slump fell a little bit again.

This morning, Ashikaga Yoshichi took advantage of the heavy snow to launch another wave of attacks.

However, it still ended in failure.

"Your Excellency, retreat. If the fight continues like this, the warriors will not be able to hold on."

Yoshisho Shiba, the only one who could speak, couldn't bear to lose the power of the shogunate here, and finally expressed what everyone was thinking.

"what are you saying?"

However, his words immediately stimulated Ashikaga Yoshichi.

Because of his failure these past few days, Ashikaga Yoshichi's self-confidence has been severely hit, and he raised his head violently.

Those bloodshot eyes were fixed on General Shibo who proposed to retreat.

"Your Excellency, stop being obsessed. Go out and see that the warriors are trembling in the heavy snow. If we continue to fight like this, if we don't need the enemy to attack, we will freeze to death in the heavy snow."

Shibo Yoshisho, who has always been a staunch supporter, raised his objection for the first time.

"Baga, disturb the morale of the army, you are dead..."

The angry Ashikaga Yoshichi pulled out his waist sword, pointed at Shibo Yoshiho, and roared loudly.

"Your Excellency, flax fell..."

"Your Excellency General..."

Seeing this scene, the other generals quickly stood up.

"Baga, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

The actions of the other generals further stimulated Ashikaga Yoshichi.

The knife in his hand pointed at the other generals, roaring angrily.

"Ashikaga Yoshichi!"

A roar made the scene quiet for an instant, and everyone looked at General Shibo, who lowered his head and clasped his hands tightly.

"We don't want to rebel, we just want to save Japan, we want to save you."

Slowly raising his head, he looked at Ashikaga Yoshichi who was holding a samurai sword.

"Most of the power of the Wa Kingdom is gathered here, and it is the hope of the entire Wa Kingdom. Once we are defeated, the entire Wa Kingdom will not have any power to resist the invasion of Ming Dynasty."

"Crossing the sea to fight, this is a completely wrong decision."

"Our sea power can't cover our warriors landing, so we can only rely on bamboo rafts and small boats to go to death one by one."

"This is a trap of the Ming army, and this is a cemetery they have prepared long ago."

"Give it up, General Ashikaga."

"Withdraw to the island and stick to it step by step."

"Da Ming is thousands of miles away, and their supplies are very difficult. As long as we drag them down step by step, their court will be the first to fail and choose to give up."

"We have a better choice. Why do we have to fight for the lives of the warriors and the future of the Wa country?"

Looking at the earnest-looking Persian righteous general, and at the generals who were watching him, Ashikaga Yoshichi took a few steps back, sat on the ground, threw away the katana in his hand, and buried his face in his knees with his head in his arms.

None of the generals present dared to say anything. They knew that Ashikaga Yoshichi had listened to his words and were making painful choices in their hearts.

After a long time, Ashikaga Yoshichi slowly got up from the ground, looked at everyone and said: "Launch another attack before dark, if you can't take it down, we will retreat tomorrow."

The generals present breathed a sigh of relief, and finally persuaded the stubborn donkey.

As for the attack in the afternoon, it was exactly a step Ashikaga Yoshichi found for himself.

Being the boss also needs face. After being scolded by his subordinates, he retreated. If he still wants to lose face, how will he manage people in the future.

Therefore, the attack before dark, said to be the last test, was actually a step for Ashikaga Yoshichi to find for himself.

Due to the intricate relationship between forces, it is impossible to hide the matter of retreating tomorrow, and soon the entire Japanese army will know everything.

This made many Japanese soldiers who were shivering in the heavy snow couldn't help but burst into tears.

It was finally time to retreat. If they waited a few more days, they would freeze to death in the snowdrifts.

Of course, those who were excited were the troops who had no combat missions in the afternoon, and those troops who were going to attack in the afternoon were as black as the bottom of the pot.

Maybe we will leave tomorrow. Today is the last battle. The Japanese pirates did not lie in the camp without missions like before. Instead, they went to the side of the strait, intending to watch the last battle.

Ashikaga Yoshichi and others also came to the observation room, watching thousands of Japanese pirates preparing to attack.

"Hoohoo!"

When everyone went to the strait to watch the battle, a little pumpkin wearing a white cloak disappeared outside the camp.

Half an hour later, in a small forest five miles away from the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirate who came out of the camp whistled a few times towards the grove.

Soon, the same tall figure in a white cloak came out from inside.

"Lord Daming, Ashikaga Yoshichi is already planning to retreat tomorrow, and is now launching the last wave of attack. Many soldiers in the camp have gone to the Strait to watch the battle, and their defenses have dropped to the lowest point."

In the future, the little Japanese pirate who tipped off the news, looked at the tall figure in the cloak obsequiously, and reported the secrets of the Japanese army.

"Yo Xi, your achievements have been recorded. After the war, you will get the reward you deserve."

The soldier of the Ming army in a cloak praised a few words in a substandard Japanese language, glanced slightly in one direction, and turned back to report.

The little pumpkin who got the promise was so happy that he couldn't see his brows, dreaming of a better day in the future, he turned and went to the camp.

"puff!"

However, he had just walked a few steps when a person suddenly appeared from behind a big tree, covered his mouth with his hand, and pierced his brain with a sharp dagger from his jaw.

Throwing away the corpses, the person who dealt with the little pirates slowly moved towards the camp of the pirates.

The battle in the strait attracted the attention of most of the Japanese pirates.

And those who didn't go to watch the battle are also packing their bags in the camp and preparing to go home tomorrow.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Oda, who was packing the poor little luggage, tilted his ears suspiciously.

"Where's the sound of horseshoes? The cavalry didn't go out today..."

As a member of the gatekeeper, he probably knows how many supplies come from the rear and how many troops go out every day.

In Oda's impression, it seems that no cavalry went out today.

Then came the question, where did the sound of rumbling horseshoes come from.

Curious Xiao Tian, ​​listening to the approaching hooves, put down his simple luggage and opened the tent, intending to see what was going on.

However, just as the curtain of the tent was lifted, before he could clearly see the situation outside, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and a cold feeling came from his throat instantly.

"kill!"

As consciousness gradually blurred, only a strange cry remained in Oda's ear.

"Eight... eight... Ga, it turns out to be the enemy..."

At this moment, he finally knew the identity of the cavalry, but it was too late.

The corpse fell heavily, knocking down the small tent which was not strong at all.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The horseshoes pounded the ground heavily, and groups of Ming army cavalrymen covered in snow and frost rushed into the Japanese pirates' camp following the tall figures in front of them.

"Team 1, disrupt the enemy camp."

"Team 2, burnt supplies."

"Others follow me, catch Ashikaga alive..."

Zhu Gaoyu, who led the cavalry into the camp, looked at the empty camp with only a few panicked Japanese pirates, his eyes flashed coldly, and he gave the battle order.

"kill!"

The cavalry roared loudly, followed their captain, or Zhu Gaoyu, and charged towards the intended target.

"Ba Ga, retreat!"

Standing by the strait, seeing that the attacking team was blocked again, Ashikaga Yoshichi snorted coldly and gave the order to retreat.

"Gee...boom..."

But as soon as he stepped out of the observation post, a fireball suddenly flew over the camp, and exploded violently in his eyes.

"Nani?"

Ashikaga Yoshichi was puzzled for a moment, before he could understand what was going on, chaos suddenly broke out at the camp of Japanese soldiers who were watching the battle by the strait.

"Baga, what's going on?"

Before Ashikaga Yoshichi asked, a general hurried forward and asked loudly.

"Enemy attack...Enemy attack..."

A samurai rushed over staggeringly, knelt in front of Ashikaga Yoshichi and shouted: "It's not good, Your Excellency, a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared behind us. They have already rushed over the camp and are coming to this side."

"God Amaterasu is on top!"

Ashikaga Yoshichi's eyes darkened, his body staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.

There was no harassment from the enemy, plus they came to watch the battle again, so many warriors didn't even bring weapons.

Now that the camp is occupied by the enemy, the samurai who have no weapons in their hands can imagine what will happen to the fierce enemy cavalry.

However, it was not time for Ashikaga Yoshichi to let the armed samurai block him temporarily.

Suddenly there was a blast of horns on the opposite side.

Ashikaga Yoshichi turned his head sharply and looked at it. At some point, the Ming warship that had been cruising in the sea suddenly rushed towards this side.

Moreover, in the opposite strait, a large number of North Korean soldiers swarmed out, drowning the warriors who had not had time to retreat.

Then they took out bamboo rafts and small boats, and rowed frantically towards this side.

"Baga, it's over!"

Ashikaga Yoshichi felt a hatred in his heart.

Own negligence, unexpectedly caught by the enemy.

If there is no miracle, the main fighting force of the Wa country will be ruined in his hands.

"Boom bang bang..."

The huge battleship rushed directly to the beach regardless of being grounded.

"kill!"

Shimadzu Tencho let out a roar, and was the first to jump off the boat, killing those compatriots who were retreating in embarrassment.

Behind him, the samurai of the Shimadzu family, without the slightest shame of betraying their race, followed Shimadzu Tencho with a ferocious face, and charged up the strait.

"Baga, it's those vicious dogs from the Satsuma clan, and they actually defected to Daming."

A Japanese pirate general who was directing his soldiers to prepare to resist saw the first batch of enemies rushing up, and his expression froze for a moment.

He didn't expect that it was his own people who attacked them.

And when he saw the flags played by the gang of Japanese pirates, he instantly recognized the identity of the other party.

Although I hate these guys for betraying God Amaterasu and Wa Kingdom, but the battle is inevitable.

"Warriors, kill these bloody traitors."

The general roared, brandished his samurai sword, and launched a countercharge from top to bottom.

"Boom bang bang..."

Two teams of the same race, but became enemies, collided fiercely.

The two sides showed no mercy, and slashed at the opposite person frantically.

Its brutal and bloody level is even more cruel than the battles these days.

Every second, people on both sides screamed and fell to the ground, and then were trampled to death by countless feet.

"Damn Shimadzu vicious dog, you actually betrayed God Amaterasu."

The general fought with Tencho Shimadzu, and he slashed at Tencho Shimazu crazily while swearing.

Shimadzu Tencho didn't even talk back, and sold a loophole. After the other party was taken in, he kicked him over, and the samurai sword in his hand pierced the other party's chest fiercely.

Looking at the resentful eyes of the other party, Tencho Shimadzu wiped the blood from his face, and said disdainfully: "What kind of bullshit is Amaterasu, this general believes in Mazu now."

"Warriors, kill all these Honshu dogs, and the Ming Dynasty will win!"

Pulling out his samurai sword, Tencho Shimadzu looked at the Honshu army that was being beaten back by the family samurai, and raised the blood-stained samurai sword in his hand, loudly encouraging the morale of the army.

"Onboard! Onboard!"

Stimulated by the blood, the Satsuma warriors, whose brains had been dazzled by the promises made before the Ming Dynasty, instantly reached their apex.

Under the leadership of Tencho Shimadzu, he rushed to the blocking Honshu Island army.

"This guy's commanding ability is not good, but his ability to charge and attack is good. Unfortunately, he is a squash."

Sun An, who was commanding the troops to disembark, looked at Tencho Shimadzu who charged bravely, praised him, and then shook his head.

"Lieutenant Sun, can we start?"

A voice interrupted Sun An's shaking his head.

"Oh, that's fine. You can start anytime. There is no one from us in front of you. Don't worry about it."

Remembering that he still had a mission, Sun An scanned the battlefield, and seeing that he met the requirements, he gave the other party an affirmative answer.

"Okay then, let's start."

After getting a response, standing next to Sun An, a tall and heavy man with a hairy chest that was still exposed in the winter, smiled naively, turned around and came to the shelf covered by the rain cloth, and greeted loudly: "Hurry up and start, let's go back after finishing, maybe we can catch up with the New Year."

"Yes, Niu Gong!"

Standing beside the shelf, the soldier dressed differently from the others responded and quickly lifted the raincloth from the shelf.

This is an experimental unit, and it is also the unit with the highest level of secrecy. It has been stationed in Qiongzhou.

This army has no name, only a code name of Tianyu!

There are not many people, only more than 500 people, but everyone in this army can read and write.

Today is the first time for this army to appear in the eyes of the world, and it is also the first time for this army to test their weapons on the battlefield.

As the rain cloth was lifted, the whole picture of the shelf was finally revealed.

It was also the first time I saw Sun An, and looked over curiously.

The shelf is nothing special, what is special is the large iron pipes fixed on the shelf.

This tube is about as long as a person, about the thickness of an adult's calf.

Divided into upper and lower rows, each row has 12 tubes.

"Start calculating the wind speed distance!"

As the rain cloth was lifted, the soldiers began to get busy.

They held all kinds of rulers and measuring tools in their hands, and kept gesticulating in the distance. Some people kept recording things in their notebooks.

And those soldiers who did not do this, first unplugged the pipe, and then turned the shelf to one side, and a huge wheel lifted the pipe slowly.

Under Sun An's suspicious gaze, after about a quarter of an hour, the soldiers finally finished fiddling.

"It's too slow. With this skill, the enemy will rush to the front."

Sun An's deputy couldn't help making complaints after seeing this thing for so long.

Sun An glared at him, "If you have nothing to do, go up and kill the enemy, don't embarrass me."

The deputy smiled awkwardly, and quickly hid aside.

With a cold snort, Sun An continued to stare at the soldiers.

He is very interested in this, and something that His Highness is so cautious about is absolutely extraordinary.

Under his gaze, the soldiers finally finished fiddling.

"Niugong, you are ready and ready to start anytime."

Looking at the soldier who should be the leader of the team, he checked it, and after confirming that the requirements were met, he reported to the bored man who was picking his nose next to him.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Niu Gong, who was bored and about to fall asleep, waved his hand and urged the soldiers to drive away.

"Yes!"

The soldier responded, yelling for the people around to leave quickly, and then alone, holding a torch, he fished out a lead wire from the iron pipe on the far side.

"Get ready, light the fire!"

Shouting to himself, the soldier put the torch on the fuse, and when the fuse burned with a "stab", the soldier turned and ran away.

Seeing Sun An who was so cautious and already far away, he hid in the distance again.

The lead wire burned very fast, entering the iron pipe in the blink of an eye.

Everyone stretched their necks to look at the iron pipe, waiting curiously.

"call!"

Suddenly there was a whistling sound, and a flame burst out in front of the iron pipe where the fuse was ignited.

Sun An's eyesight was fairly good. He saw that it seemed to be a long stick, only a little smaller than the iron pipe, and it jumped out.

He didn't see exactly what it was like, but the length was definitely not small anyway.

As the first iron pipe erupted, the sound of "whoosh" continued to sound, and long things flew out of the iron pipe one by one, and rushed towards the Japanese army on Honshu Island on the strait.

"Baga, what's that?"

When a group of people on Sun An's side stretched their necks to look at things flying into the sky.

Ashikaga Yoshichi was commanding the army to stop the Ming cavalry and the Ming army attacking from across the strait.

Eyes inadvertently turned to the sky, and some long sticks emitting flames flew over.

Seeing this thing for the first time, he subconsciously asked suspiciously.

However, before the people around him answered, the first long stick that flew over landed a few meters away from him.

"puff!"

Ashikaga Yoshichi saw with his own eyes that a Japanese pirate who couldn't dodge was directly pierced by the long stick.

"Is this the siege crossbow newly invented by Daming?"

Looking at the thick and big iron rod with flames still shining from behind, this idea came to Ashikaga Yoshichi's mind.

"Stupid Daming people, it's a big waste to use so much iron to build this thing..."

As more than [-] iron rods fell completely among the crowd, a general who confirmed that there was no danger stepped forward and tapped with a knife. The tail of the rod with flames still could not help but sneer with contempt.

But before he could say the last wasted word Fei, the thick stick he hit with a knife gave him a pleasantly surprised response.
