Chapter 137: Enter Ping An Jing and destroy three artifacts! (6.2K)

The ancient battle of attack and defense.

The defenders have the upper hand. Throughout the ages, there are countless examples of battles in history in which a small number of troops resisted a large siege army.

Don’t talk about the far ones, let’s talk about the nearest ones.

When Lao Zhu started his business, Chen Youliang attacked Hongdu with an army of 600,000. Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu with 20,000 troops for more than 80 days. It was not until Lao Zhu returned the army that Chen Youliang withdrew.

When a siege is won, the siege team often piles corpses.

Especially when facing a fortified city, even if the siege force has several times the number of troops defending the city, the attack will often be in vain in the end. There are many examples of this.

Although the area of ​​Heianjing in the Japanese Kyoto was only a quarter of the former Chang'an, its city wall construction, fortifications, and moat surrounding Heianjing were no less than those of Tang'an.

Even after so many years of reinforcement year by year, the defensive power is even better than that of Chang'an.

The moat alone has been widened dozens of times.

"I beg your Majesty to issue an order to allow me to lead the troops to charge. The general is willing to issue a military order in public. If you cannot capture the Japanese slave capital, come and see me!"

In the Chinese army's tent.

Chang Tianci's voice resounded throughout the camp. This was his third request to go to war.

However, Zhu Xiongying was still not sure.

Even Zhu Xiongying did not order an army to attack the city. Although the army was placed in front of Ping'an Capital, they only blasted the walls of Ping'an Capital from a distance with cannons.

In Zhu Xiongying's opinion, exchanging a large number of human lives for a city was an extremely uneconomical deal, not to mention that the Beijing army was Zhu Xiongying's team to conquer the world, so it was naturally impossible for them to die in this Japanese territory in vain.

In the tent, Xu Huizu, Chang Mao, Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Wu, Zhang Yu, the Eighth Route Army commanders, and their deputy commanders were all standing, waiting for His Majesty's orders.

None of the handsome men spoke.

Although they were also puzzled as to why His Majesty the Emperor had not yet ordered a general attack even though the troops were already at the gates of the city, what could he be waiting for?

Although they were confused, their experiences over the past few days told them.

Even if they go home and mistakenly identify their wives, His Majesty the Emperor will never be wrong.

"His Majesty…!"

Chang Tianci spoke up again and wanted to challenge, but was forced back by a look from his father Chang Mao.

"Fortified city, be prepared to send surprise troops."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Chang Tianci. This kid had gone through this period of battle. Although he had developed bravery, his brain was still too impulsive and needed more training.

If a mature and capable pioneer general wants to be invincible, in addition to having the courage to move forward, he also needs a calm heart at all times to be ready to make the most correct decision in milliseconds.

.

Chang Tianci's grandfather, Chang Yuchun, although he claimed that he could conquer the world with an army of 100,000, was definitely not a reckless person.

This safe city is definitely not an ordinary city that Chang Tianci can break through with just a few helpers.

Raiders?

All the generals in the tent were stunned when they heard His Majesty the Emperor's words.

Where are the surprise soldiers?

All the commanders secretly glanced at each other a few times, and what they saw in their eyes was confusion.

At this moment, a young man with a handsome face and a black armor quickly entered the tent. All the generals looked at this man with doubts on their faces. They had never seen this man before.

In fact, it is not that I have never seen them all. For example, Xu Huizu and others have all seen Xiao San beside His Majesty the Emperor.

But they had never seen Xiao San without a mask, so they couldn't recognize Xiao San when they saw his full face.

"Xiao San, Commander of the Dragon Shadow Guards, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Kneel down on one knee and perform a military salute.

After hearing this, Xu Huizu and Chang Mao suddenly realized that of course they all knew about the existence of the Shadow Guard, and they all knew that the boss of the Shadow Guard was Xiao San.

At first they all thought he was an old man, at least the same generation as themselves, but they didn't expect him to be so young, looking to be in his early twenties at most.

"Your Majesty, the ten-man team has been assembled."

A massive attack on the city, with Heian Kyo's defense power, was simply a matter of killing people.

Zhu Xiongying's plan was also very simple. He sneaked into the city with a small group of people, directly acted as Japanese warriors to guard the city, and opened the city gate.

In the 21st century, this thing is called special forces operations.

If this method was mentioned in public, I am afraid many people would think it was nonsense. After all, in the eyes of those who know the military, this is almost an impossible task.

What's more, in the thinking of people in this era, there has never been a term for special operations.

Moreover, behind the high walls of the Ping An Capital City, all kinds of defense equipment are available, and it is simply a fantasy to try to infiltrate them silently.

However, the word ‘impossible’ only applies to ordinary people.

For Zhu Xiongying, this is just ordinary.

Whether it is hardware or software, it is a cross-level dimensionality reduction attack.

The ten-person team that Xiao San brought this time were all born with spiritual roots, and all had top-grade qualifications such as second-grade and first-grade spiritual roots. They had undergone more than ten days of secret training.

The team is divided into two groups, one is named 'Zhanshen' and the other is 'Zhutian'. The maximum age of the team members is no more than sixteen years old, and most of them are teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old.

Among them, Tang Yi is the captain of the ‘Zhutian’ team, and Shi Hao is the captain of the ‘Slaying God’ team.

Every member of the team members of Zhu Tian Zhan Shen are basic in the 'Wall Penetrating Technique' and 'Virtual Shadow Technique', and there are also several formation and talisman geniuses among them.

"let's start."

Zhu Xiongying spoke calmly.

"According to the decree."

Xiao San said yes, and then left the tent.

The first operation of the God-Slaying Team was led by Xiao San himself just in case.

The commanders in the tent were stunned when they heard what Xiao San said about the 'ten-man team'.

Ten people can conquer a city? It’s still the Kyoto of a country!

How can this be?!

"All armies prepare for war and prepare to enter the city and fight in the streets."

Zhu Xiongying said lightly.

Although the eight coaches were confused, they did not hesitate at all, and they all clasped their fists and said yes.

………………

Heian Jingnei, the real core of power of the Japanese country.

The seat of the Muromachi shogunate is the Flower Imperial Palace.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was wearing elegant white casual clothes, sitting on his knees in the cherry blossom pavilion, with tea smoke curling up on the table, and several kaikos dancing gracefully in the cherry blossom forest, accompanied by drums, harp, and shakuhachi.

Opposite Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, sat an old man with white hair wearing a black kimono.

The white-haired old man enjoyed this music dance very much. His eyes fell on the dancing singer's body and he almost started to do it.

This old man is Hatakeyama Munakazu, one of the three stewards, and the oldest head of the seven major families at present. He has reached eighty-two years old this year and has always been known as a great sage in the eight realms of Japan.

"There are less than 300,000 Ming troops outside the city, but there are 400,000 defenders in Ping'an Jing. No matter how the Ming army attacks, Ping'an Jing cannot be breached. When the Ming army runs out of food and fodder, they will be defeated without a fight. Our army will not be able to break out.

, and win in one battle.”

"By then, the little Ming Emperor will be captured alive, and the Gongfang's plan to unify the Ming Dynasty will be completed. It will shock all the countries in the world, and no one will dare not to submit to the Gongfang."

"I really admire the public's strategic planning."

Hatakeyama Munakazu said with a smile, although he is over eighty years old, his ability to flatter people is not inferior to that of young people at all, and he does one thing after another without even taking a breath.

Kōkō, the honorific title given to the general by the Muromachi shogunate.

Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has given up the position of shogun to his eldest son, everyone knows that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is the serious boss, and he does not dare to change his title randomly. He still calls him how he should be called.

Even in front of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Hatakeyama Munekazu already called himself a "subordinate". After all, the fact that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to usurp the emperor was already known to everyone in Manchuria and Japan.

"Master Hatakeyama, if you think so, you are absolutely wrong."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would not be stupid enough to believe that a divine man who could move an army of 300,000 troops across the sea to the eight borders of Japan without anyone noticing could be trapped by "food and grass"

I don't even believe that these people can be defeated by simple secular methods.

"Under God's blessing, there will eventually be a way to be different from others."

In Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's view, the Ming Emperor must have been favored by heaven just like him.

Just like how he unified the Japanese Kingdom and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as long as he prayed to heaven sincerely before going to war, he would be able to do many things that others could not do.

Because of this, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gave the order not to leave. He wanted to try the Ming Emperor's water first to see if it was as he imagined.

He will never go into battle until he understands it clearly.
