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

Chapter 83 No prisoners in this battle!

"Boom boom boom..."

A deafening explosion sounded from above the strait, startling both sides in the battle, and they all looked towards the top of the mountain.

Huge pillars of dust soared into the sky one after another, and with good eyesight, fragments of stumped limbs could still be seen.

"Record: 15 bombs exploded successfully, and [-] bombs failed to detonate!"

Leaning against the side of the boat, watching Niu Gong who was doing nothing on the battlefield, he opened his eyes suddenly, and quickly reported the data in his mouth.

"Record: The flight distance is 3.8 miles, the lead wire is eight breaths long,..."

The data are recorded one by one, which are precious experimental data, which will be of great help to the later improvement.

After recording the observation data, Niu Gong yawned, and said to Sun An, who was stroking his chin and looking at the explosion point in the distance, thinking about something: "Let our people be careful, and stay away from anything that hasn't exploded. Before we clean it up, the ghost knows when it will explode."

After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist, said "go back to catch up on sleep", and walked to the cabin.

"What new weapon is this?"

Looking at the shelf that had been re-covered by the soldiers, Sun An, curious in his heart, asked the back of Niu Gong who had climbed into the boat loudly.

Niu Gong, who had already entered the cabin, stopped and looked back at Sun An, with a simple and honest smile on his rough face.

"Seeing that you are a good kid, I will remind you a little bit."

"Please teach me, sir!" Sun An cupped his hands.

Niu Gong smiled with satisfaction, "Under your highness, you have to remember one sentence, talk less and do more. Asking too much is not good for you."

"You will know what you should know, and you will know what you shouldn't. Asking will only lead to trouble."

Sun An's body shook, and seeing Niu Gong's simple and honest expression, he bowed deeply again.

Seeing this, Lao Niu chuckled, turned around and walked into the cabin to rest.

Seeing the disappearing tall figure, Sun An secretly exhaled.

During this period of time, His Highness' attention, coupled with the smooth sailing, made his cautious heart gradually relax.

In the officialdom, he knew the truth about what to ask and what not to ask, but he couldn't hold it back not long after he was reused.

Secretly reminding himself to pay more attention to this aspect in the future, Sun An turned to the adjutant and said: "Notify the explanation just now, and let the brothers be careful."

The deputy nodded, and was about to turn around to communicate, when he suddenly thought of something, and asked Sun An, "Tencho Shimadzu, do you want to send someone to inform you as well?"

Sun An's face turned cold, "Didn't you understand what I said? When you talk to your brother, will you tell your watchdog along with it?"

The deputy shrank his neck and hurried to notify the troops on standby.

In the initial attack, except for the cavalry led by Zhu Gaoyu, the Ming army did not join the charge, but let the Korean soldiers and Ergouzi troops stand in front.

This group of North Korean soldiers fought bitterly, and they were all cowardly, and they were often chased and hacked by one or two Japanese pirates.

But when it comes to this kind of downwind battle of beating the dog in the water, all of them are extremely brave, for fear of being left behind and being robbed of the credit.

The Japanese pirates who could have suppressed them were chased and hacked by them.

If you encounter Japanese pirates without weapons, then these gangsters will be even more excited.

...............

"Your Excellency, hold on!"

"Where is doctor. Doctor Baga? Come here!"

The Japanese pirates outside were struggling to support, and there was chaos inside the observation post. General Shiboyi hugged Ashikaga Yoshichi, who was only half of his body, and roared loudly.

"Giggle..."

Ashikaga Yoshichi's lower body had been blown away, blood was spurting wildly from his mouth, and his eyes were wide open.

"Withdraw."

"General, please stop talking, the military doctor will be here soon."

Shiboyi held Ashikaga Yoshichi's hand tightly, telling him not to speak, and to hold his breath.

Ashikaga Yoshichi, who was already unconscious, shook his head slightly. To Shiba Yoshisho, whose eyes were full of tears, he used his last strength and said intermittently: "Withdraw...retreat...let...let...Yishi, pick...take...pick me...to...to...Daming...to...to..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and Ashikaga Yoshichi did not say the last word after all, and his hands dropped heavily.

At the last moment, Ashikaga Yoshichi gave up the grievances between brothers, and passed the position of general to Ashikaga Yoshinori.

"Your Excellency General!"

"Woooooooo..."

Looking at Ashikaga Yoshichi, whose eyes were wide open and who would not die in peace, the surrounding generals were both angry and sad.

"Ba Ga, don't cry!"

Shibo Yoshisho, who was holding Ashikaga Yoshiki's body, let out a loud roar and stopped everyone.

He slowly put down Ashikaga Yoshichi and looked at the generals around him.

"You have heard the general's order. Now you all retreat with your respective troops. When you return to the capital, let Mr. Yoshinori take over as the general, and then negotiate with Daming to end the war."

Say it, bow deeply to everyone.

"Please everyone!"

The generals present understood what General Shi Boyi meant.

This veteran who has been following Ashikaga Yoshichi intends to leave with his Patriarch.

The generals did not speak, but silently bowed deeply, turned and walked out of the observation post, ready to lead the troops to break through and retreat.

After everyone left, General Shibo closed the door, took out the kerosene barrel placed in the observation post, and sprinkled everything in the house, including Ashikaga Yoshichi's body.

With the last bit left, he fell on himself.

Throwing the barrel aside casually, he came to the corpse with a lamp in his hand, and knelt down silently.

"Your Excellency, please go slowly, I'm coming!"

"boom!"

Flames instantly enveloped the entire observation post.

The generals who were gathering their troops and preparing to break out, looked at the observation post shrouded in flames, and sighed silently.

"Everyone is there, Your Excellency the General is ordered, all break through!"

But breaking through, how can it be so simple?
The rear was blocked by enemy cavalry, and the front was a brutal enemy.

Looking at the enemies slaughtered frantically, the eyes of many warriors were filled with despair.

However, they were unwilling to die like this. Under the constant encouragement of their generals, the Japanese pirates picked up the things around them that could be used as weapons, and looked fiercely at the only way out blocked by the cavalry.

"assault!"

With a samurai wave by a general, the Japanese pirates let out ghostly screams, brandished sticks and stones, and even the corpses of their partners, rushed to kill Zhu Gaoyu and other cavalry who had dismounted and lined up to block their back.

Zhu Gaoyu, whose clothes and armor were soaked in blood, looked at the Japanese pirates rushing towards him with strange screams, and slightly raised his spear in his hand.

"kill!"

Thousands of cavalry lined up neatly behind him did not waver in the face of the Japanese pirates rushing towards them like a tide.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

The soldiers roared in unison, holding their weapons shoulder to shoulder, vowing to block the enemy's retreat.

This is a battle of honor, as long as they complete this task and block the Japanese pirates' retreat.

They will become the brightest stars in the Ming military circle.

With thousands of people blocking the enemy's tens of thousands of attacks, how many troops have been able to do this since ancient times.

"Boom bang bang..."

The wave formed by the flow of people came pounding heavily.

For the survival of the Japanese pirates, they forgot the fear of death. Like madmen, they frantically hit the thin front line, trying to tear a hole with their bodies.

However, the Ming army on the opposite side was like a rock, no matter how they hit, they would not take a step back.

If one person falls, someone will immediately fill up his position.

Zhu Gaoyu, who is in the middle of the army, has a long spear in his hand, and whoever is lucky will accept it.

At this time, he held a knife in each hand, slashing wildly from left to right.

None of the Japanese pirates who rushed up could block his move, and none of them could break through the knife net and hurt him at all.

The battle intensified, and the corpses piled higher and higher under their feet.

When the last enemy who dared to approach was cut down, Zhu Gaoyu held the knife that had been curled out of shape due to the chopping in both hands, and looked around coldly, not daring to step forward to the Japanese pirates.

"Kneel down and surrender, or die!"

Zhu Gaoyu used Daming Mandarin, and he knew that the Japanese pirates on the opposite side would definitely be able to understand it.

Seeing Zhu Gaoyu standing on the pile of corpses that was a foot high, the Japanese pirate felt chills in his heart. {Ming Yizhang is about 3.1. }
Wherever Zhu Gaoyu looked, the Japanese pirates there subconsciously backed away.

Is that human being?
The ghosts and gods in the legend are nothing more than that.

Look at the high pile of corpses, at least thousands of people fell under the knife of the person in front of them.

They have only heard of Ten Thousand Enemies, and they only thought it was bragging, or a ghost story.

However, today they finally met.

It turns out that there are really ghosts and gods in the world, and what's more unfortunate is that this person is still his own enemy.

"Dang!"

A Japanese pirate who had been terrified of being killed, after being swept by Zhu Gaoyu's eyes, finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart, dropped the samurai sword in his hand, kneeled on the ground with his knees softened, and his body trembled.

And his actions caused a chain reaction. The frightened Japanese pirates who had been killed by Zhu Gaoyu dropped their weapons one by one, knelt down on the ground, trembling or crying loudly.

The surviving cavalrymen looked pantingly at the Japanese pirates who had surrendered, holding weapons in their hands or hugging their companions, and laughed loudly.

They won, they won, they succeeded.

They have accomplished a feat that countless armies could only dream of.

With thousands of people blocking the charge of tens of thousands of enemies, they will be remembered by future generations, and they will be sung through the ages.

And when they saw Zhu Gaoyu standing on the pile of corpses one foot high, holding a knife in each hand, and blood dripping from his armor, their eyes were filled with fanaticism.

What do soldiers most want to meet?
Certainly a good superior.

In addition to loving soldiers like sons, the fierce general who is the enemy of thousands of people is also the object of their dreams.

They, who came from the Fifth Army Battalion, once set this goal on the old man.

They followed the old man to fight in the north and south, witnessed the bravery of the old man, and thought about the ancient and modern emperors, how many people can do this.

It is the greatest honor in their life for them to follow such a great emperor.

However, Zhu Gaoyu's appearance and his astonishing performance on the battlefield convinced them from the bottom of their hearts. Without hesitation in their hearts, they decided that from now on, they would follow this His Royal Highness, the King of Yue who descended from heaven like a god.

Abandoning the object they originally followed, they have no guilt in their hearts.

The two are father and son, and they are both family members. They are not considered betrayal.

Sensing the fanatical gazes of the cavalrymen, Zhu Gaoyu withdrew his gaze from the Japanese pirates and turned to look at them.

"Wan Sheng!"

I don't know who yelled first, the cavalry were instantly detonated, they raised the blood-stained weapons in their hands, and roared wildly at Zhu Gaoyu who was watching them.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Zhu Gaoyu raised the rolled steel knife in his hand, and swung it towards the sky.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

And this scene happened to be seen by Liu Sheng and others who led the troops over.

Looking at the blood-soaked figure standing on the high pile of corpses and raising their weapons, Liu Sheng and the soldiers around him were shocked in place.

And when Zhu Gaoyu raised the rolled-edged steel knife and shouted their most familiar slogans.

They couldn't help but beat their chests hard, looked at the figure standing on the high platform made of dead bodies with frantic eyes, and responded loudly.

"General, Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

Roaring and shocking the sky, the Japanese pirate kneeling on the ground shivering, at this moment, the strings in his heart were completely broken.

His Royal Highness King Yue's position in the army from then on, except the emperor, I am afraid that no one can shake it.

For some reason, Liu Sheng, who followed the soldiers shouting, suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

At dusk, groups of captives walked towards the beach under the escort of the Ming army.

The 15 Japanese troops, under the desperate resistance of Zhu Gaoyu and his cavalry, did not escape. They were either killed or put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

The entire strait was full of corpses, and the hot blood melted the thin snow on the strait.

The melted snow, mixed with dark red blood, formed a small stream, which flowed into the strait, dyeing a large area of ​​sea water red.

"Your Highness, the results of the battle have been counted."

Outside the Japanese observation post, Zhu Gaoyu, who had washed up briefly, looked calmly at the soldiers who were cleaning up the ashes and looking for Ashikaga Yoshichi's body.

Liu Sheng, who commanded a battle of 10,000+ people and won the victory, came to Zhu Gaoyu with a smile on his face, and handed the statistics of the battle results to Zhu Gaoyu.

"Marquis An Yuan is in a good mood, it seems that the result of the battle is very good."

After receiving the statistics, Zhu Gaoyu laughed and teased.

"Haha...It's because His Highness commanded well, and the bravery of thousands of people shocked the Japanese pirates, so we can achieve such a great victory."

Liu Sheng, who was a veteran in the officialdom, naturally knew how to flatter him, and with a casual sentence, he gave Zhu Gaoyu the greatest credit for this battle.

Zhu Gaoyu shook his head with a smile, and looked down at the statistics.

In this battle, the main force of the Japanese pirates was wiped out, and more than 5000 horses, more than 4000 sets of excellent armor, and various weapons and food were seized.

The casualties of the Ming army were not high. 186 people were killed in battle, and more than 300 people were slightly wounded.

Seeing the casualties, Zhu Gaoyu was not very surprised.

In this battle, apart from the cavalry that followed him, the Ming army was not the main force in the battle. The Korean soldiers and the Ergouzi troops were at the forefront, and the two sides were the ones that suffered most of the casualties.

For example, for the Korean soldiers, after eight days of fighting, the number of casualties reached more than 2, which was almost 1:1 proportional to the casualties of the Japanese pirates at the beginning.

As far as this is concerned, they are still fighting with the assistance of the Ming army. Without the assistance of the Ming army and the command of Liu Sheng, the 10 Korean soldiers would have been defeated by the opponent long ago.

The Ergouzi troops had the most casualties.

According to Zhu Gaoyu's request, Sun An controlled the Ergouzi troops on Jiuzhou Island to less than 1000 people.

Before the war, there were more than 9800 troops in Kyushu Island Ergouzi.

After the battle, less than 900 could stand up and walk, not even 1000.

The reason why the number was suppressed so accurately was that at the end of the fight, Er Gouzi's troops suffered too many casualties and wanted to retreat, but were cut down by Sun An's supervising team.

If it hadn't been for the Japanese pirates on Honshu Island who chose to break out of the encirclement later, it is unknown whether the Ergouzi troops led by Tencho Shimadzu would be able to survive.

Returning the statistics notebook to Liu Sheng, Zhu Gaoyu was in a very good mood, and said to him, "I believe the imperial court must be very satisfied with the results of the battle. Please trouble Marquis Anyuan to write the battle report. I will sign it with you and let the following send it back to the imperial court as soon as possible. It is our New Year's gift to my old man."

"Haha, it's the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month today, so it might be a bit difficult, but as the saying goes, it's a year before the first month, as long as it's delivered before the first month."

"It's the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month!"

Liu Sheng's words made the smile on Zhu Gaoyu's face slowly disappear.

Liu Sheng was a little confused, so what's wrong with this day?
Could it be that he has been out for a long time, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is a little homesick.

"Your Highness, now that the enemy has been severely wounded, I will make my brothers suffer and try to end the battle before the beginning of spring, and then we can go back."

Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand, and walked to the edge of the cliff alone, looking at the pirate captives by the sea below, his eyes became more and more cold.

Although one date is in the Gregorian calendar and the other is in the lunar calendar, this seems to be some kind of coincidence.

Zhu Gaoyu looked up at the sky, and pictures that he had seen before appeared in front of his eyes.

A snowflake fell from the sky, hit Zhu Gaoyu's face, and slowly melted.

"Snowing!"

Stretching out his hand to touch the snow on his face, Zhu Gaoyu muttered to himself: "It should have snowed in those few days."

Withdrawing his hand, Zhu Gaoyu said to Liu Sheng who was following up: "Let's do it today, try to finish it before dawn, and let's continue to set off."

Liu Sheng noticed that Zhu Gaoyu was looking at the captives below with that cold look in his eyes. Thinking of the meeting before the war, Liu Sheng was silent for a moment and persuaded:
"Your Highness, since ancient times, it has been ominous to kill prisoners. Do you want to think about it again?"

Zhu Gaoyu turned his head and stared at Liu Sheng calmly.

Although his expression was very calm, those eyes put a strong pressure on Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng had only experienced this kind of pressure from the old man.

Turning back slowly, looking down the strait, Zhu Gaoyu sighed and said, "I asked the captives. A while ago, the body of Duke Yan Sheng appeared in their capital."

Liu Sheng sighed bitterly when he heard the words.

The gang of bigwigs in the court still hoped that the Japanese pirates would not touch him because of his status as Yan Shenggong, and they could be rescued.

Now it seems that there is no chance.

"We must give an explanation to Confucius, and to the literati in the world, otherwise the court will not be able to explain it."

Although this reason is a bit nonsensical, but Zhu Gaoyu has said so far, Liu Sheng didn't object anymore, nodded and went on to make arrangements.

That night, the North Korean soldiers stationed in the Japanese pirate camp were trembling with fright at the sound from the beach.

This night, all kinds of creatures in the sea ate up their stomachs.

Until the next day, Daming gave an explanation.

Last night, the Japanese pirates captured a riot, and the Ming army suppressed it. After a night of bloody battles, all the rioters were finally wiped out.

As for whether this is the real reason, no one knows, and no one dares to inquire.

Only since then, there has been a terrifying phenomenon in the Guanmen Strait. Every year on December 12 of the lunar calendar, there will be hell-like howls of evil spirits here.
