Chapter 675: Destroy the Eastern Japanese (Part 2)
Dongwa was defeated, and the ownership of the tower fell into the hands of Hetao.
Even so, there was no compromise on the part of the Japanese side. In fact, they really had no way out. Hetao did not need prisoners, so even if they surrendered, they would not end well. Therefore, they could only retreat and fight.
After being slowly squeezed down the city wall by the soldiers from the Hetao, they still retreated into the city, hoping to use the dense buildings and familiar terrain in the city to fight to the end with the Hetao.
The soldiers in the Hetao were naturally ready to pursue the victory, but at this moment, the golden sound of the Hetao sounded again, and this time it was quite rapid. It was obvious that Dugu was asking the pursuing soldiers to stop immediately.
"Commander, now that our morale is high, why did we suddenly stop fighting? Let's take advantage of the victory and pursue it. In this way, we will definitely be able to eliminate the Japanese at the minimum cost!" Fu Zhutao said with difficulty, holding his lower abdomen. He was seriously injured in the battle just now.
However, with the spirit of not showing pain even if he was slightly injured, and not leaving the line of fire even if he was seriously injured, he always stood at the front. This kind of spirit made even the soldiers in Hetao couldn't help but praise him twice.
Dugu glanced at him sideways, and originally wanted to say, who is the commander-in-chief? Do I order you or do you fucking order me? However, looking at the blood all over Fu Zhutao's body, he finally opened his mouth and said: "Fu
General, we have just seen the fighting power of the Japanese. If we take advantage of the victory and pursue the Japanese, even if we can completely annihilate the Japanese, we ourselves will suffer heavy losses. Killing three thousand enemies will cost us eight hundred. Don’t you understand this truth?
Bar?"
In the battle just now, the Hetao soldiers paid a price of at least 20,000 more people, but the Japanese killed at least more than 150,000. But even so, there are probably more than 300,000 Japanese in Nara Castle. Here
It is their home base. If the Hetao army pursues them, they will surely suffer heavy casualties.
"Can we just let Dong Japanese go?" Fu Zhutao asked anxiously.
Dugu snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gloomy murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body. Fu Zhutao couldn't help but take a step back. When he looked at Dugu, he found that Dugu's face was already full of ferocity.
After hearing Dugu's few instructions in a low voice, several soldiers hurriedly dispersed. Soon, all the Hetao soldiers who had retreated back to the city wall slowly expanded along the city wall, and finally spread all over the entire city wall of Nara Castle.
.
An Yongchang suddenly felt that something was not good. If the Hetao side pursued them impulsively, in the narrow alleys of Nara City, even if the entire Dongbo clan died, they would at least be able to wipe out at least 100,000 elites in the Hetao. Although not
They perished together, but at least in Dongbo's view, there was a sense that they would rather be broken than broken. However, Hetao did not pursue, but just occupied the surrounding city walls, watching more and more butter torches on the city walls getting brighter and brighter.
, An Yongchang suddenly felt a bad feeling.
Dekang Chengsheng and Watanabe Shimo also looked pale. They also understood what Loop was about to do, and were about to order the elite soldiers who had returned to the city to fight back. Countless torches were suddenly thrown into Nara City from all directions. The fire was raging, and the entire city was destroyed.
The sky was reflected in red.
Although Nara Castle was built of volcanic rock, most of the buildings in the castle were still bamboo and wood structures. When the burning butter torch was thrown into the castle, a fire immediately started. This was a complete replica of the Edo Castle fire, but Edo Castle
In the Battle of Hucheng, Dongbo was well prepared. After the Hetao army rushed into the city, Dongbo suddenly set fire to the city. As a result, at least 50,000 Hetao coalition troops were killed in the flames.
But this time, the Hetao took the initiative to burn the city. The soldiers of the Hetao have occupied the surrounding city walls, and they are condescending. The whole Nara is under the sight of the Hetao. There are more than thousands of butter torches prepared by the Hetao, and now they are all thrown into the city. The effect
Naturally, it is extraordinary. None of the houses in Dongwa have been treated for fire prevention, and they are now in a panic. Naturally, there is no organized fire-fighting. As a result, with just a stick of incense, the fire spread from hundreds of corners in the city to the surroundings.
spread.
Dugu looked at the fire that had completely engulfed the whole city, and said with emotion: "It seems that our old brothers from the Yizhou village are better at killing people and setting fires. After all, they have rich experience in the past. Look at the others,
Throwing a torch here and a flame there without knowing how to use the wind is not professional at all."
Xue Sha and the others were a little bit dumbfounded. Looking at Dugu Yuming who looked obscene next to them, they really didn't know what to say.
"Brothers, throw all the wood and fire-kindling materials into the city. I will throw them as hard as you can. After this battle, we are ready to go home." The flames in the city soared to a height of more than ten meters.
In the sky, Dugu became more and more excited as he looked at it, and couldn't help shouting loudly.
The soldiers in Hetao were also very passionate. After throwing away the butter torches, they threw in all the wood that they usually used to make fires. There were also many soldiers who were cutting firewood and mowing grass under the command of middle and low-level generals, effectively supporting the burning of the city in front.
great cause.
An Yongchang and others were really anxious now. They mobilized all the elite troops in their hands and counterattacked against the Hetao soldiers on the city wall at all costs. However, the Hetao soldiers occupied the advantageous location, and it could be said that it was easy to deal with the Dongbo counterattack. Besides,
Dongbo's military morale has long been in chaos. Whether it is combat effectiveness or tacit cooperation, they are quite lacking. They are no match for the Loop.
Feng Jing's expression was quite gentle. Hearing the increasingly shrill screams in the city and smelling the faint burning smell, he kept shaking his head. The hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Nara Castle are definitely millions of Japanese.
The most elite part of the population, including more than 100,000 regular troops, however, they died in such a useless manner in the end. If Dongbo had resisted desperately from the beginning and defended the city wall without retreating, then at least five to eight more people in Hetao could have been consumed
There are tens of thousands of troops, but now, there is not even a chance to take action.
"What a pity." Xue Sha suddenly sighed.
Feng Jing followed the bloody tone and said: "What the Blood Commander said is absolutely true. There must be a lot of rare treasures and famous calligraphy and paintings in the Eastern Japanese Palace. But if the fire goes down, those exquisite porcelains and famous calligraphy and paintings will definitely be destroyed."
It’s gone.”
The Holy Palace of Niantian has been completed. This is the most special palace that Xue Sha and others claimed to have built specifically for God. Although it looks quite ferocious from the outside, the interior decoration is definitely luxurious. From the Song Dynasty to the Li family and
The rare treasures, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and a large number of pearls, jade and jade ornaments plundered from Tiandu Shengjing and other places were all piled up in the palace specially built with gold and silver. In order to fulfill their original promise, the Hetao generals every day
When a place is captured, the most precious things there are immediately snatched away, and then piled in the Niantian Holy Capital. According to Fengjing and others' predictions, the things in the Dongwa Palace should naturally be sent to the Niantian Holy Capital.
, but now it seems that all that is left is probably gold jewelry.
Xue Sha shook his head and said: "Commander Feng, you have misunderstood what I mean. Dingdong City has not been completely repaired. According to initial estimates, at least two to three hundred thousand bones will be needed to cap it. But now Nara Castle is
Burnt to ashes by a fire, where can we find so many corpses?"
Feng Jing was speechless, but Dugu, Xin Ke and others actually showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. Fu Ruoshui rolled his eyes and simply stood a little further away. Out of sight, out of mind, this was probably the most appropriate thought for the little princess right now.
The fire burned until dawn, and then gradually became smaller. By the time the sun rose, the entire Nara City had been reduced to ashes, and the air was filled with the smell of burning corpses, mixed with the fishy sea breeze and
The thick smell of blood on the battlefield was indescribably weird.
"Come here, order the army to enter Nara, dig three feet into the ground, and leave no one alive." Dugu ordered in a deep voice, but added: "Just send people to guard the area near the palace. When the time comes, I will personally
Bring someone to receive it."
Seeing that Fu Ruoshui was not around, Dugu whispered to Song Zhong, who was responsible for delivering the order: "Remember, you must not let those Korean stick men get close. These people fight hard enough, but military discipline is really bad."
Song finally understood and left in a hurry, while Xin Ke and others all grinned.
In every battle in Hetao, apart from the rare treasures and famous paintings and calligraphy that must be turned over, the spoils collected are divided proportionally. 20% is put into the national treasury, 40% is used as military supplies, and 10% is used by generals above the command.
, and the remaining 30% was divided equally among the soldiers. It has become a practice over the years, so whenever a city is captured, Hetao soldiers never bomb, smash, or rob. However, it is different with Goryeo. Those Goryeo soldiers are here to kill people and take revenge. Military discipline
It's not very good, so every time they attack the city, when it comes to robbery, they must be at the forefront, which is naturally not liked by Hetao.
However, in order to take into account the face of Goryeo, the Hetao generals did not say anything. Just like attacking Edo, if it were not because they wanted to enter the city as soon as possible to rob, all the Goryeo soldiers and rebels would not have been so active in rushing into the city.
He went there, only to be burned and fled back in embarrassment.
What we captured this time was the Eastern Japanese capital. Even if a lot of things were burned down, the hundreds of years of Eastern Japanese pirate tradition mean that there must be a lot of things that were robbed. Therefore, there must be no room for failure in the Loop.
"The little princess will definitely get very angry if she hears us discussing her people like this." Feng Jing said with a smile.
"So what? The combat effectiveness and military discipline of these Korean stickmen are quite lacking. We are just stating a fact." Dugu said proudly, but his tone quickly changed: "The little princess told me not long ago that when the time comes we will send troops outside the Great Wall.
At that time, she will personally bring 100,000 Korean soldiers to fight with us. To be honest, I am really worried that these Korean soldiers will hold us back."
Xinke thought for a moment and said cheerfully: "Then, why not let them escort the grain, grass and other logistical supplies."
Xue Sha quickly shook his head: "No, logistics and supplies are of great importance. If you are a little negligent, the army at the front will not have to fight. This is really a trouble, so I'd better let the lord express his refusal."
At noon, the Hetao army, led by senior generals such as Xue Sha, slowly entered the palace of Dongwo. They moved away all the rare treasures in the palace. While transporting a two-meter-high jade Buddha, something suddenly happened
An accident occurred. As soon as the Jade Buddha was moved away, a passage suddenly appeared on the ground. The soldiers in the Hetao quickly and cautiously extended downwards. After a careful search, they finally found the Eastern Japanese in the underground maze like a spider web.
The royal family used it as a secret room to protect their lives.
It was a very large and spacious secret room. The decoration inside was quite gorgeous. The floor was covered with thick carpets, and the surrounding walls were covered with various precious picture albums. This discovery made the Hetao generals extremely happy. They originally thought that
These exquisite calligraphy and paintings by famous artists have been destroyed by fire, but I didn't expect that so many of them are still hanging here. It seems that hundreds of years of accumulation from the Eastern Japan are all hidden here.
Just as soon as the secret room was opened, countless thick smoke came out of it. Obviously, the air in the secret room was quite turbid. Before the Hetao army entered, they specially opened the stone door and blew the wind for a while, waiting for all the smoke to dissipate.
I went, but when I entered, I was still a little dizzy.
"There should be vents." Xue Sha said.
"The exits of the vents must be above the ground, but the entire Nara was burned to a white ground. There must be thick smoke billowing from the vents. With the smoke and dust pouring back, the air is naturally much duller." Dugu said: "I am handsome.
What I'm worried about now is whether these Japanese have been killed by the smoke."
Passing by an exquisite screen, the situation inside confirmed Dugu's guess. Behind the screen, dozens of people were huddled, each of them covering their nostrils with their hands, their expressions indescribably ferocious.
Dugu stepped forward and removed the stiff arm of a Japanese man, carefully looked at the other person's nostrils, and then said: "He died of suffocation, probably caused by the intrusion of thick smoke."
Behind the screen is an extremely exquisite dragon chair. The dragon chair is made of gold and studded with diamonds, agates and pearls. On it sits an old man over fifty years old. The old man is gorgeously dressed and his face is indescribably peaceful.
.
Xue Sha took a closer look and felt that this man was somewhat similar to An Yongchang. He said with a smile: "This must be Dekang, the leader of the Eastern Japan Kingdom. I didn't expect that he was not burned to death above, but he came here to be smoked to death by himself."
, which can be regarded as his bad luck."
Shinke suddenly said in surprise: "Look! Isn't this Watanabe Shimo, haha, I didn't expect this old boy to die here."
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, and sure enough, in the corner of the dead body, there was a Japanese general wearing armor sitting peacefully. However, he was not killed by the thick smoke, but committed seppuku. This man is as famous as Kato Taka, and was
The Eastern Japanese are known as the Tigers of Land War. The Eastern Japanese generals who once roamed the Chinese continent arrogantly and domineering ended their lives in this way.
"Honestly, Watanabe Shita's military skills are not inferior to those of Haruka Jinxi and others." Feng Jing said with a sigh.
Nobuno nodded. He had fought against Watanabe Shimo several times, and he knew very well how cunning and powerful this famous Eastern Japanese general was on the battlefield.
"Carry them all up. Dingdong City will be much inferior without their corpses." Dugu said with a smile.
But what is surprising is that among all the corpses, An Yongchang was not found. Everyone knew that with An Yongchang's martial arts, he would not die in the fire, but he did disappear.
, disappeared from the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Hetao troops.
"Forget it, the Dongbo tribe has been exterminated. Even if there are still fish that have slipped through the net in the central mountains, it is not worth mentioning. The country has been destroyed and the tribe has been destroyed. An Yongchang will definitely not give up. We should be careful and wait for him to surrender.
The net is ready." Xue Sha said comfortingly.
Dugu's expression was a little depressed: "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, so how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days? To be honest, it feels really uncomfortable to be worried about such a top master."
Xinke laughed: "Are you also afraid of Dushuai?"
"Afraid?" Dugu smiled disdainfully: "I have never known what fear is, but An Yongchang is among the eight masters of evil and is the best at assassination in the world. What I am worried about is my lord. Everyone
Don’t forget, my lord once had the experience of being assassinated.”
"The lord is heavily guarded, and there are several mistresses protecting him, so it should not be a problem." Feng Jing hesitated and said, "However, it is best to strengthen the defense. After all, whether it is the three major aristocratic families or An Yongchang,
They all still have some strength, and if they are really serious, then there will be some trouble on my lord's side."
In the Battle of Nara Castle, the once all-powerful Eastern Japanese dynasty was completely destroyed. The six million Eastern Japanese people were almost wiped out by the Hetao. Even counting those Japanese who fled to the central mountains, the surviving population
There will not be more than 10,000. As a nation, the Eastern Japanese are on the verge of being expelled.
Moreover, after the Hetao army withdrew, even if these Japanese people survived, they would have difficulty surviving without food, houses, iron tools, all daily necessities and even vegetables and rice seeds.
However, the Loop also paid a heavy price. In the bloody battle of Nara, about 50,000 elite soldiers died on the battlefield. Adding in the more than 10,000 soldiers who were burned to death in Edo Castle and the previous battle losses, 70,000 elite soldiers could never be seen again.
Unable to return to his hometown. The navy did not suffer much losses, except that more than 5,000 soldiers died during the siege and annihilation of Dekang Baoqi.
However, the situation in Goryeo was much more miserable. Of the 50,000 soldiers and 10,000 rebels who landed in Dongwa, there were only less than 5,000 left when they left, and everyone was scarred. However, everyone was in high spirits and marched
He actually kept showing off the scars on his body, which made the Loop people look extremely funny.
After paying homage to the souls of the fallen soldiers in Dingdong City, hundreds of thousands of troops slowly stepped onto the warships and embarked on their journey home following the southeast wind that had just blown.
The expedition that lasted for nearly two months finally came to an end. At the cost of 130,000 soldiers killed in the battle, the Hetao Allied Forces completely wiped out the Dongbo clan. The Dongbo people also became the first name wiped off the map in Hetao.
