A soldier replied: "Sir, Lord Takeda and the others haven't come up yet? Just wait for them."
Yamamoto Hideaki was furious and said: "What are you waiting for? Do you want all the people in our boat to accompany him here to wait for death? Listen to my order and set sail immediately, you know? Set sail immediately. Otherwise
, I will kill you first."
The other soldiers did not dare to argue with Yamamoto Hideo anymore, so they had to cut the cable, row the oars, and sail away from the shore.
After Takeda Tsubasa and Yamamoto Hideo divided their forces, they led their men and horses to kill the Tiger Guards. When the Tiger Guards saw an enemy charging towards them, they immediately stood up in a three-stage firing formation and fired at the Japanese army.
shooting.
This road is not very wide, and only about twenty people can stand side by side. The soldiers of the Huben Guards have obviously been trained in street fighting. The soldiers responsible for shooting are divided into two rows, with the soldiers in the front row squatting on the ground, and the soldiers in the back row squatting on the ground.
The platoon of soldiers stood up to form a superimposed shooting. Instead, they fired in turns by changing guns without changing people. Moreover, in a narrow environment, the Japanese army also could not expand their forces and could only rush forward one team at a time.
As a result, they all died tragically at the gunpoint of the Tiger Guards.
After several rounds of attacks, the Japanese army finally realized that their death was completely in vain, and they could not hurt a single hair of the enemy. Under the impact of this ruthless fact, their psychology quickly collapsed. So they all turned around and ran for their lives.
Takeda Tsubasa also received a notification from Yamamoto Hideo, saying that Issei had captured the ship and asked him to rush to join them as soon as possible. Therefore, Li Ding had no intention of continuing the fight and had no choice but to flee with the defeated soldiers.
Fortunately, at this time, the bloody path opened by Yamamoto Hideaki's bows had not yet completely closed. In addition, Takeda Tsubasa led the men and horses to rush forward, and they rushed to the edge of the dock without much effort.
But it was precisely at this moment that Hideo Yamamoto ordered someone to cut the cable and sail away from the shore. Tsubasa Takeda and others could only stand on the shore and watch helplessly Hideo Yamamoto's figure standing on the stern of the boat.
Gradually it becomes smaller and smaller!
Zapporo fell into the hands of the Tiger Guards, and there were no longer any obstacles on the way forward for the Eastern Route Army...
...
On May 30, the 13th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the last team Ding Yunyi was waiting for, the Eastern Route Army, arrived at the gates of Kyoto.
The three-pronged army to conquer Japan has completed its rendezvous!
Ding Yunyi knew that the time had come to seize Kyoto!
Now, no force can stop his march. No force can stop him from fulfilling his ambition:
Defeat Japan and conquer Japan!
The most glorious battle has arrived!
On the first day of June in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, after a long wait, the general attack on Kyoto finally broke out!
This is a battle that requires all-out efforts. This is also a battle that must be won. This is very clear to every soldier of the Tiger Guard.
All the artillery has been set up, and now there is no need to hide any strength...
The Japanese in Kyoto City watched all this numbly, and they were able to accept what happened now. In fact, every one of them knew that it would be a matter of time before Kyoto City was lost.
Shenwei cannon, Hongyi cannon, tiger crouching cannon, etc., the Tiger Guards used all the wealth they brought to Japan for this general attack.
When Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi appeared, the Ming army once again burst into cheers like a tide.
This is the supreme god in the hearts of all Huben Guard soldiers, and this is the source of all spiritual energy for all Huben Guard soldiers. As long as he stands on the battlefield, the Huben Guard soldiers will find incomparable confidence in victory.
Wu Liehou——Ding Yunyi!
Ding Yunyi's eyes also swept over his subordinates one by one. On their faces, he saw confidence, determination, perseverance, and unparalleled confidence.
Ding Yunyi slowly pulled out his dragon fang, and then pointed forward——
On the first day of June in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Huben Guards stormed Kyoto!
On this day, the cannons roared; on this day, the cheers of the soldiers sounded everywhere on the battlefield...
The cannonballs fell endlessly on the city walls of Kyoto, one by one, and the entire Kyoto was crumbling under this violent storm of attacks.
Cannons roared and gravel flew.
The Japanese pirates completely lost any ability to fight back. They could only watch as Kyoto suffered terrible destruction, and they could only watch as Kyoto was bit by bit damaged by the heavy rain.
In the minds of the Japanese people, Kyoto was difficult to destroy. Kyoto was an iron wall that could never be broken, but they soon learned that they were wrong.
In the face of the all-conquering artillery fire of the Tiger Guards, Kyoto was nothing more than paper.
This is no longer a contest of an era...
Ding Yunyi stood upright on the battlefield, watching his cannons destroying everything in front of him, watching his artillery fire that was ahead of its time crushing all the resistance in front of him.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again...
Asahi Toshihide in Kyoto also knew that it was impossible to stop the enemy from breaking through the city. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to block the enemy from entering Kyoto, but even this he could not do.
The only thing he could do was to watch all of this happen in front of him...
The overwhelming shells tore a large gap in the north gate of Kyoto City, and this is also what the artillerymen of the Huben Guards like to do the most:
Concentrate all artillery fire and blast a fixed target! Once a breakthrough is achieved, continue to mobilize all possible artillery fire to increase the breakthrough!
They did it before in Sapporo, and they just did it again in Kyoto...
The gap was opened bit by bit, and everyone could see it very clearly. It wouldn't be long before this gap became the main battlefield where the torrent of water entered.
The musketeers are ready, the infantry are ready, the cavalry are ready...
The shells continue to fall endlessly towards this gap...
Finally, a loud "boom" sound reached everyone's ears. Under such a terrible bombardment, the wall of Kyoto City was torn open with a huge gap that was dozens of steps long...
Asahi Junxiu closed his eyes in despair... He knew what was going to happen next...
The sound of artillery stopped immediately. Officers at all levels of the Huben Guards on the battlefield slowly pulled out their swords. Several people turned their heads unconsciously. Behind them, a huge battle flag was flying.
:
The brave and loyal tiger guards!
That is an invincible flag!
Ding Yunyi held the dragon's tooth tightly in his hand. He adjusted his breathing, and then slowly raised the dragon's tooth. After he paused, two words burst out from his mouth:
attack!
Attack! Attack! Attack!!!
On the first day of June in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Kyoto was defeated. The Tiger Guards entered the city in large numbers!
This is a day that will definitely happen. This is also an expected day. Everyone has already made such preparations, except for one person:
Tokugawa Iemitsu!
When the news of Kyoto's city being broken and the large-scale entry of Tiger Guards into the city reached his ears, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't believe it at all. He sat there in shock for a long time before he asked:
"Is it really broken?"
"Really, the enemy has begun to enter the city, and Lord Chaobi is trying his best to organize resistance. Lord Chaobi asks the general to prepare quickly to defend the palace and your majesty!"
"Be prepared? Defend the palace? Defend His Majesty?" Tokugawa Iemitsu muttered these words in despair, and then suddenly roared furiously: "How to defend? How else can we defend?"
Yes, how can they defend it now? The city of Kyoto has been destroyed. Where else can they escape?
All the strength has been put on the front, and there are only 800 samurai around Tokugawa Iemitsu. It is simply a fantasy to rely on these 800 samurai to resist the Ming army.
Tokugawa Iemitsu seemed to have seen the soldiers of the Tiger Guard rushing in front of him...
A large number of Ming troops have entered Kyoto. The only thing Asahi Toshihide can do is to lead the samurai who are willing to fight to the death to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible and buy as much time as possible for the shogun.
Groups of samurai ronin were sent forward by him, almost suicidal.
But what greeted them was horrific killings.
Those musketeers were really terrifying. The muskets in their hands made a terrible roar. In the face of their concentrated shooting, any form of resistance was meaningless.
The corpses were gathered there in layers. The smell of blood in the air made people feel nauseous.
This is not a war at all, this is just a naked massacre... No one knows when this massacre will end, neither the Japanese nor the soldiers of the Tiger Guard.
The only thing they can do now is to keep killing or being killed... There is no second option for any of them.
And when Kyoto turned into a killing battlefield, Idarigi knew it was time to act...
His son Ida Benzong, his retainers, and like-minded people all gathered at Idarigi's home. Everyone among them knew what they should do, and they also knew that this was the decision to decide their own destiny.
moment.
"The people of the Ming Dynasty have entered the city." Idarigi said slowly: "Now the survival of Japan is in the hands of people like us."
There was silence, and everyone was waiting for his next words.
Idarigi glanced at them: "Now, the only obstacle to saving Japan is only one person, and that is His Majesty the General. It was he who brought Japan to its current situation, and it was he who dragged Japan into the abyss of imminent destruction.
.Only the general can end all this disaster. I know that if I lead you to do this today, I will definitely become a sinner of Japan, but for the future of Japan, I must do this."
"Father, just say what you want to say." Ida Benzong said loudly.
Idarigi nodded to his son: "Gentlemen, please pick up your weapons and follow me to the General. Japan should not continue to bleed like this."
No one spoke, but everyone stood up...
...
"Nishijima-kun, what are you waiting for!" Asahi Toshihide shouted: "The time has come to show your bravery!"
"Hai!" Nishijima Takae shouted loudly, and then raised his katana high: "Japanese warriors, for His Majesty the Emperor!"
"For His Majesty the Emperor!" The warriors who were still prepared to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor roared and rushed forward after Takae Nishishima.
What they faced was still the terrifying musket.
The muskets rang out, and one layer of Japanese fell down, but then another layer continued to rush up, stepping on the bodies of their companions.
At the cost of their lives, they finally rushed in front of the musketeers, but soon, a large number of spearmen, sword and shield soldiers appeared, and the musketeers surprisingly equipped their bayonets.
The Japanese always thought that as long as they rushed in front of them, the enemy's advantage with guns would be gone. But they were wrong.
The musketeers of the Huben Guards were not the musketeers they imagined at all.
This was an unequal fight. The path of the Japanese charge was littered with corpses. When they rushed up, there were already less than half of their number.
Then they were ruthlessly massacred by the Ming army, which was far more numerous than them.
Thousands of Japanese pirates died, and the ground was full of corpses and blood. For these Japanese pirates, any resistance they had was feeble.
Nishijima Takae is among these people.
At this time, he was completely desperate, but he was not willing to give up, because he knew that behind him was the Imperial Palace, where His Majesty the Emperor was.
You can't take a step back, absolutely not!
His body suddenly seemed to have been hit hard, causing him to stagger forward, but he managed to steady his steps. He knew that he had been injured.
"For His Majesty the Emperor!" Nishijima Takae was still shouting there.
But he suddenly discovered to his horror that he was the only Japanese left on the battlefield. His companions had all turned into corpses.
His body was bleeding, but what was even more terrifying was his mental despair.
At this point, what other choices can he make? No more, no more.
The Tiger Ben Guard soldier holding a bayonet slowly walked up. Nishijima Takae closed his eyes. In an instant, he opened his eyes again, raised his samurai sword high, and roared at the Tiger Ben Guard.
The soldiers rushed forward.
Countless bayonets were thrust into his body, and Nishijima Takae stood there unable to move any longer.
It's over, everything is over here, Nishida Gaojiang sighed deeply in his heart, is there anything more sad than this?
I died without being able to save Japan, and my death was not worth it at all. Lord Asahi, Lord Shogun, His Majesty the Emperor, I can no longer help you.
His body fell softly, and then countless pairs of feet trampled on his body mercilessly! Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
