Chapter 558 Raid on Kyoto

&

[ ~]【Ye*】【*】[] Compared with the southern part of Honshu, the rain in the Oki Islands

On the morning of May 1st, the sky was not yet bright, and the soldiers of the Sixth Army had already started to board the ship. A total of more than 300 large ships were distributed in various locations on the islands of Oki. On average, there were more than 300 soldiers on each large ship. When it was dawn, the fleet began to head towards the east.

Heavy rain, the wind and waves on the sea were extremely strong, the ships were extremely unstable. Most of the Sixth Army were army members, and many soldiers were dizzy when they sat on the boat.

Wu Song checked the soldiers' situation in the cabin. Some soldiers were already vomiting, while others were lying there without much strength. Wu Dong held a soldier and input his true energy into the body of a soldier. The soldier seemed to feel much better. He nodded gratefully.

"You all took medicine to prevent seasickness before you left?" Wu Song frowned and said with a smile on his face.

"It's all drunk," said the soldier.

"Captain, the storm on the sea is too big, and the ship is really shaking. Even if you drink medicine to prevent seasickness, it's useless now," said a doctor next to you.

"Can they fight after they get on the shore?" Wu Song said

"This is probably not possible. They need a rest to fight," said the doctor.

Wu Song frowned secretly. The combat mission is so important. If a seasick soldier cannot enter the battle immediately, it is afraid it will be unfavorable to the situation.

"Captain, we can fight and wait until we reach the shore. We will get better immediately. Now we can get better." A soldier next to him said stubbornly.

"Very good, you have such determination. I am very happy that when you are on the boat, you must concentrate and rest well and wait for a good time to fight with me." Wu Song nodded and said

He came from one boat to another and found that almost one-tenth of people were seasick, and he was increasingly worried.

At the end of the fleet were several treasure ships. The treasure ship was very huge, but the number of soldiers was not very large. Wu Song had already arrived on the ship here. In addition to him, there was a tall monk standing there.

"Brother Lu, there is no problem with our artillery?" Wu Song said

"Don't worry, there is no problem. The artillery is placed in the cabin, and nothing will happen." Gao Da Monk was Lu Zhishen, he laughed and said with a smile.

"Will the gunpowder get damp?" Wu Song said

"No, the gunpowder is carefully wrapped in oil paper, so it won't get damp," Lu Zhishen said

Wu Song nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, this is his first time commanding such a group of combat, so he is a little nervous

"It's a pity that Brother Li Ying is not here," he said secretly

Li Ying was originally his deputy, and he and Li Ying cooperated for many years. If Li Ying was by his side, he would feel much more relaxed.

Time passed slowly, and on such a stormy night, more than 300 large ships were moving towards the east quickly

The day has passed, and it is dark in a blink of an eye, but the fleet has not reached its destination. At night, many seasick soldiers have fallen asleep. Even in their sleep, their faces have a painful expression.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the ship vibrated violently, and Wu Song turned over and stood up

"What happened?" Wu Song asked hurriedly

"General, we are almost on the shore." A personal soldier next to him said hurriedly

"So fast?" Wu Song was stunned.

"General, it's almost dawn," said the personal soldier.

It turns out that it is almost dawn on May 2, and the day and night have passed

"Quick, let the soldiers get up immediately. We must get off the ship immediately and carry out the orders of the military headquarters." Wu Song said

In fact, the soldiers of the Sixth Army had woken up one after another. The soldiers came to the boat through ropes and then took the boat to the shore. Some ships were close to the dock. The soldiers had jumped into the sea and headed towards the opposite side.

The wind was blowing very much. Although it was already summer, many soldiers felt a little cold on their bodies. However, the cool breeze made people wake up suddenly. The soldiers knew that they were about to go to the battlefield and their battle was coming soon.

Although the Sixth Army came from the Second Corps in Hedong at the time, most of them were veterans, there were actually some soldiers present. These soldiers were very nervous at this moment. They didn't know what they would face on the battlefield.

"Don't be afraid, the brave ones defeat you when they meet on a narrow road, the more brave you can survive on the battlefield, the more afraid you are. They are timid, the more likely you are to face death." At this moment, the veterans are encouraging the soldiers beside you one after another.

"Quick, gather all the divisions and brigades to count the number of people. The soldiers who are seasick and have no combat effectiveness stay, and the rest advance immediately." On the other side, the military headquarters are already issuing orders.

Before the war, the combat plan had already been determined, and now everything should be done according to the combat plan.

The Sixth Army had a total of 100,000 people, including eight regular divisions and two special combat brigades composed of elite soldiers. In just a quarter of an hour, the teams of each division and brigade were assembled. Except for more than a thousand soldiers who were unable to move, the rest began to move.

The first division, the second division, and the third division headed south towards Wuhe City. The fourth division, the fifth division, and the sixth division headed west and then south. The target was also Wuhe City, the seventh division and the eighth division surrounded Wuhe City from the east. The two elite special combat brigades were all the way forward, ignoring the city ahead.

Wuzu Castle is a famous city in the north of Kyoto. Later generations are part of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. There are famous Wuzu Bay and Ruofuwan, which are the most famous harbors in the north of Kyoto. However, these harbors have not been successfully built at this moment. Liangshan probably landed in Ruofuwan. It is less than 20 miles away from Wuzu Castle.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers braved the heavy rain and moved forward wildly. Half an hour later, the First Division, Second Division and Third Division came to Wuhe City. The Wuhe City was a barrier to the north of Kyoto Prefecture. It was built quite solidly. At that time, it was also one of the garrisons of the samurai army. However, after the samurai army left, the three Liangshan divisions launched an attack from the front. Before the other divisions arrived, they had already entered Wuhe City.

"Kill all those who dare to resist, don't let alone leave quickly." Wu Song hastily issued an order

Half an hour later, Wuhe City was completely calmed down, and the Liangshan army continued to move forward in the heavy rain.

The two special combat brigades have the fastest degree. In the afternoon, the two special combat brigades have arrived in the Nandan area. The terrain here is relatively complex and there are mountains everywhere. The marching degree of the special combat brigades has been greatly affected, but the soldiers of the special combat brigades are particularly elite, and they still struggle to move forward.

The next morning, it was getting less rainy and the special operations brigade was still moving forward

On the afternoon of the third day of May, about dusk, two special operations brigades arrived in the plains, which is the famous Kyoto Basin. Kyoto City is located on the center of the basin, and they can already see a large number of villages. The soldiers of the special operations brigade ignored these villages and just walked forward.

"Continue to rush, now is the most empty time for Kyoto. We must arrive at Kyoto as fast as possible. Our first brigade goes north and the second brigade goes east. Our army occupies the north and the east behind our east. "The brigade commander of the first brigade said.

Their mission is to ensure that they can reach Kyoto as quickly as possible and surround Kyoto. It is best not to let the important figures in Kyoto leave. So they have been rushing and have never stopped their urgent marching. This is completely different from the urgent marching of the Japanese samurai army.

Late at night on the third day of May, two special operations brigades arrived around Kyoto, and the eight divisions behind were also urgently moving forward.
