On August 17, the Eastern Expedition Army landed in Omuta divided the entire army into two. The 15,000 navy troops led by Luo Yu, Zheng He, Liu Tuo and Han Shao, and led all ships back to Kitakyushu and blocked the Maguan Strait.

The remaining 90,000 Land Division, led by Li Luo, went north to Dazaifu through the Buzhu Plain.

Along the way, the Japanese people saw the mighty army of Eastern Expedition, the Canglang Battle Banner and the Sulu Ingot Black Tail Crown. They were so scared that they fled, and their fear spread rapidly like the wind.

Yuan Kou has landed!

At this time, the mainland of Jiuzhou was drained by Shao Er Jingzi, so the defense was extremely empty, and the army in the eastern expedition was still in a state of no one. But Li Luo was too lazy to pay attention to the people of these days.

On the morning of August 18, Li Luo led his army to Sanchi City, the first city after landing.

Sanchi City is a small city in the Hou Kingdom. The city wall is less than two meters, and the city population is only a few thousand. The city lord Sanchi Yaming had long led the warriors to serve under Shao Er Jingzi, but there was only a group of peasant soldiers defending it.

The peasants in Sanchi City saw the army of Eastern Expeditions coming like black clouds. They were so scared that they screamed, yelling down the city tower, "It's Yuan bandits! So many Yuan bandits!"

"Oh! What should I do!"

"Escape quickly. I heard that Yuan Kou likes to massacre the city. If they are allowed to come in, it will be over!"

Before Li Luo attacked the city, the people in the city were frightened and ran around. However, under the supervision of several left-behind warriors, hundreds of peasants still gritted their teeth and went up to the city tower.

"Baga! Coward! I'm afraid that I'll be like this when I see Yuan Kou..." a warrior cursed.

But before he could finish his words, he saw a large piece of stone flying over.

With a "boom", a stone as big as a watermelon smashed hard on the city tower, instantly knocking down half of the fragile city tower. Several peasants screamed and were injured if they were not killed.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of cavalry came to the city with a rumbling rumbling and fired dense rain of arrows around the city. The Mongolian soldiers had a very high archery head, and even if they rode on horseback, they had few empty shots within dozens of steps.

"ah!"

"escape……"

The only few warriors and hundreds of peasant soldiers without armor were suddenly killed and fled under the rain of arrows.

In a blink of an eye, Sanchi City fell. Not only did it fall, but all the four gates of the entire city were blocked. It was difficult for the people in the city to fly.

When Li Luo entered the city, all the people in the city were kneeling on the ground. Since they could not escape, and the Yuan gangs were so powerful, it would be better to pretend to obey and get over. They were just ordinary people, not warriors. They didn’t even have weapons, so how could they resist?

The Japanese people knelt on the ground and shivered, and did not dare to look up. Thousands of people coughed and could even hear the sound of noodle soup in the noodle restaurant on the street.

Li Luo looked at the Japanese people who were kneeling on the streets, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"General, do you want to kill them all?" Zhezha pointed to the Japanese people and said, all eyes full of bloodthirsty excitement.

This is what Mongolian generals like to do the most, massacre the city.

Li Luo did not answer Zhezha's words, but he said to his personal guard Yan Jun. Yan Jun soon brought a Japanese citizen. That citizen was still the fishermen captured by Li Luo on Yakushima. After a month, the prisoners had long become "Japanese traitors".

"Ask them how big the population in the city is, are you willing to serve the army?" Li Luo said to his captives in Japanese.

What he said about effectiveness is of course to be a large army coolie, that is, a military slave. Li Luo certainly knows Japanese, but he is the commander of the first army and directly talks with a group of Japanese people, which is not appropriate.

The "Japanese traitor" nodded and said, "Hayi, General!"

Then, he walked over arrogantly and shouted to the people kneeling on the ground, "Baga, when you see the general, are there no one in charge coming out to serve?"

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to a well-dressed middle-aged man in the crowd, wearing a tall crown, "Are you an official in the city lord's mansion? Tell the general, how many people are in the city."

The middle-aged man replied tremblingly, "There are more than 5,000 people."

The Japanese traitor said, "General, please ask you, are you willing to serve the army? "

What? Working for the Yuan gang?

Many people looked ugly. They knelt here, but they just wanted to survive, not to serve the Yuan Kou! It is so shameful to serve the Yuan Kou.

"General asked you if you are willing to serve! If you are willing, stand up!" The traitor became more arrogant that day.

But after asking several times, no one stood up. On the contrary, many people showed anger and hatred.

Li Luo's face also calmed down, and he said to the Japanese traitor lightly, "Tell them that they are unwilling to serve the army, die."

That day, the rapist turned pale and he quickly said, "Hayi!"

"The general said that if you don't want to serve, you'll die!"

However, no one stood up

Many people actually want to stand up and express their willingness to serve, but with the collective consciousness, they are embarrassed to stand up first, and they feel too ashamed.

In order to survive, I stood up and surrendered to the Yuan Kou in full view. It was so shameless that I couldn't do it.

The Japanese people were afraid to die, but their strong sense of shame and hatred made them refuse to surrender.

Li Luo sneered, turned his horse's head, and said to Zhezha, "My Zhezha, I am as good as you wish. However, leave a few silences to spread the news so that the Japanese people know what the consequences will be if they refuse Dayuan."

"Zhezha!" Zhezha responded with a grim smile.

After Li Luo said this, he took people out of the city. He didn't want to see such a scene, and he even hated it.

However, we must kill the backbone and toughness of Japan and erase their courage to resist.

After Li Luo left the city, Zhezha gave the order, the Mongolian soldiers and the secular soldiers immediately raised their butcher knives...

Li Luo heard the screams in the city and looked very dull. Anyone who wants to stick to anything he has to pay. The same goes for the Japanese people.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the city returned to peace.

The food and food in the city, as well as the more than a thousand mules and horses that were searched, were all taken away by the army of expedition.

What happened in Sanchi City spread around like wings. More and more Japanese people not only knew the misery of Sanchi City, but also knew what the "Yuan Bandit" released.

Anyone who resists the Yuan army will die; those who resist the cooperative will die!

The atmosphere of fear spread like a plague, and as the army of expeditions deepened, it gradually spread over the Jiuzhou.

Li Luo's march was very slow and he was not in a hurry at all.

If you march quickly, you will reach the Dazaifu in Xidu at most two or three days. If that happens, Shao Er Jingzi will not have time to react and will retreat back to the Dazaifu and rely on the Dazaifu's city defense. In this way, Li Luo will attack the Dazaifu, which is tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and is defending the Dazaifu.

This is of course the worst.

Therefore, Li Luo deliberately slowed down the marching speed and gave Shao Er Jingzi a certain amount of preparation time to give the two Japanese troops in the north and south a chance to reunite.

In this way, the Shao Er Jingzu will not retract back to the Dazaifu, and it will be possible to fight a decisive battle in the wild.

This is a tactic commonly used by Temujin. Because the Mongolian cavalry has high mobility, the Mongolian army deliberately created opportunities for the enemy to slow down the speed of advancement, so that the enemy can build confidence in field battles, rather than being unable to retreat.

So, while Li Luo marched slowly, he sent cavalry to confiscate mules and horse supplies from the Japanese rich and civilians, forcing the Japanese people to serve hard labor.

Of course, all those who resisted were executed. Therefore, more and more Japanese people were killed by Mongolian soldiers. The family members of the rich and powerful families were massacred and destroyed. Of course, the wealthy and people who cooperated with each other could survive. As the atrocities of the Yuan gangs spread widely in Jiuzhou, more and more Japanese people chose to surrender.

As long as the goal is achieved, Li Luo will not kill indiscriminately. After all, the Japanese country is a member of the Confucian cultural circle and belongs to the Kaihua nation. It is not a savage in the wild, so Li Luo is not willing to start a massacre.

In just two days, the army of the Conquest East grabbed thousands of mules, horses and carts for transportation, alleviating the pressure of insufficient land transportation power in the army. There were also 3,000 young and strong Japanese people who were used as military slaves and as coolies.

On August 19th, the Eastern Expedition Army arrived at Yanagawa Castle. Yanagawa Castle was larger than Sanchi Castle and had a larger population, but there were only scattered samurai defending with peasants.

When Li Luo's Sulu ingot appeared outside the city, the people in the city looked at the black army outside the city, and immediately became disagreement in horror.

One faction believed that the city should be defended to the death, even if it was all killed in battle, and vowed to burn the Yuan gang. This faction mainly consisted of the left-behind officials and warriors in the city lord's mansion, and held the power in the city.

The other faction was dominated by the merchants and wealthy families in the city. They were afraid that the Yuan army would be massacred like Sanchi City, so they advocated opening the city gate immediately to surrender.

As a result, the warriors and officials who held the power of the city still had the upper hand and ordered all the young and strong people in the city to go up to defend and fight the Yuan Kou to death.

Just as the young and strong men came to the city one after another, a Japanese traitor came to the city tremblingly and brought Li Luo's words.

"The warriors on the city, the general has an order. As long as they offer the city to surrender and obey the general's military orders, the whole city will be good people and will not be killed. If they resist the army..."

Before he could finish his traitor, a feather arrow shot out from the top of the city. He screamed "Oh" and fell down on his back.

"Baga! A farmer who is greedy for life and fears death! He is not worthy of being a member of the Kingdom of God!" said the warrior who shot and killed the Japanese traitor.

"Yuemon, you did a good job!" Another samurai laughed, "Today is the time to serve the country for seven lives, so why fear death!"

Several other samurai also drew their swords and roared, pointing at the army of warriors outside the city, "Come on! Try the samurai's sword, is it not good!"

The army of the expedition was formed into a two-mile-wide military formation, with an extremely majestic momentum. Li Luo rode a dark horse, and was under the Sulu Ding Celestial. He looked at the samurai yelling on the top of the city, and then said to Zhezha, "Zhezha, this Yanagawa Castle is handed over to you."

"Zhezhazhe came to the cavalry formation, raised his whip and pointed at the top of the city, "Warriors! Let the city in front of you and the cowards hiding in the city be buried with the Mongolian warriors who sank into the sea!"

Mongolian soldiers yell together

"Mordauga!"

"Alas Hehenning!"

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of Mongolian semen soldiers rushed towards the city gate. Under the galloping horses, the earth was trembling, and the entire Liuchuan City seemed to be shaking.

When the warriors and peasants on the city wall saw this scene, they were both snatching their souls and their legs became weak.

When tens of thousands of cavalry approached the city gate, they divided into two groups and walked around the city. At the same time, the knights immediately shot arrows.

This is a tactic of cavalry siege, which is often used by the Mongolian army, and is called cavalry and shooting around the city.

Cavalry should not have been attacked, but it does not mean that cavalry really cannot attack the city. When the defenders are too weak, cavalry can attack the city by shooting around the city, and there is no need for infantry siege equipment to attack.

This is the case at this moment. Tens of thousands of cavalry rained arrows, putting the warriors and peasants on the city into a state of doom. Even thousands of defenders could not rise up to fight back at all, and had nowhere to hide, completely bathed in the baptism of arrows.

After only one round of arrow rain, most of the defenders on the city were killed or injured.

He was killed by the second round of the Mongolian cavalry's cavalry's cavalry, and more than a thousand defenders were destroyed. Even the people in the city were shot and killed by feather arrows flying in from outside the city.
