Chapter 269 Defend His Majesty the Emperor
"Stop talking nonsense! Don't let the provocate discover it, don't embarrass the marquis in front of the Japanese!" Zhang Shuangquan muttered unhappily, and glanced at a few Tokugawa samurai.
"If you don't say it, don't say it, you can save some effort to dig a hole! By the way! Ergou Brother! Why does this thing have to be buried in the soil to be used? And..."
Zhang Shuangquan rolled his eyes powerlessly. The guy around him had a tendency to develop into a chatterbox, and the best way to deal with him was to ignore him.
"Hu...chi, huh" Xiao Shunzi gasped, patted the ground with a small shovel, and sat on the ground and gasped.
"I'm so tired! This thing is really useful, it's just that my previous preparations are too tiring!" Xiao Shunzi murmured in a low voice.
Zhang Shuangquan glared at the other party, lowered his voice and scolded: "Shut up! There is a Japanese pirate camp more than a hundred steps away, and Japanese whistles may appear around at any time!"
After checking it all the time and confirming that there was no problem, Zhang Shuangquan lit a long fuse and waved his hand at the others. Everyone got into the woods and lost their shadows.
The snoring sounds were heard in the camp of the Baijianwei of the Takenaka, and the exhausted Japanese lie down and fell asleep. As the main general, the tent of the Baijianwei of the Takenaka was still brightly lit.
He was still staring at the map of Kyoto. Tokugawa Ieyasu surrendered to the Aoi, first attacked Jiegang, and then surrounded Kyoto.
Then Jiegang is Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat. As long as you capture this place, you can completely wipe out Tokugawa Ieyasu's troops and completely solve this former colleague.
But according to the report from Ninja, the one who guarded the Corps Port was the Minor. The muskets trained by the Minorites in Gifu Castle were already very powerful. Will the real Minorites have poor combat effectiveness?
Although his 10,000 army is elite, it is still unknown whether he can defeat the Ming people. He still has to divide his troops to rescue Kyoto. This battle is really difficult to fight!
"boom!"
Just as he was thinking hard about countermeasures, a dull sound came from the distance. The half-soldier in the Takenaka instantly jumped up from the short couch. He was too familiar with the sound, and it was obvious that someone was firing a fire.
When he thought of firing a cannon, his first reaction was to attack the enemy. He ran out of the tent quickly. The half-soldier in the Takenaka shouted: "Guard! Guard! Go and check where to drive..."
"Boom! Boom!"
Several even louder explosions rang out in the camp, and huge fire balls rolled up the dust on the ground and rushed straight into the sky. The tents within ten feet of the surrounding area disappeared, and the air waves spread around, and countless tents were blown away wherever they passed.
Even Takenaka Bangui, who was far from the center of the explosion, was unable to stand firm and fell to the ground.
What kind of weapon is this?
The power like heavenly punishment made the half-man guard of Takenaka stunned. Is this the real strength of Mingren?
At this moment, the camp was completely in chaos, and three consecutive explosions cleared the big place, leaving nothing except three huge craters.
More Japanese people were bleed by the shock and their bodies were limp on the ground and their voices were gone. The miserable way of death made the Japanese people confused, and they couldn't figure out how there was such a powerful firearm in the world?
"Chasing! Chase the sneak attackers, I want to chop them into meat paste!" Takenaka Banbingwei reacted and roared at the miserable camp.
As time passed by little by little, the camp finally returned to peace. After a rough calculation, the elite army suffered at least hundreds of casualties in this attack.
More importantly, no one knows whether they will encounter another sneak attack. The scene of the sky collapsed and earth split just now was too terrifying, and I am afraid no one can sleep tonight.
Takenaka Half-Baiwei didn’t know how much morale the army would have. Even if they arrived in Kyoto, would they be the rebellious opponent of Tokugawa Ieyasu?
What's more, there was a Mingren who was eyeing him on the side. When Takenaka Banbingwei thought of this, he couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart.
"General! My subordinates are incompetent. They did not chase the sneak attacker, but only found this!" A warrior chasing out of the camp said, holding the broken iron tube dug out of the soil.
"Baga! You brought this back? The enemy used this rag to cause heavy losses to the army? Waste! They are all waste..." Takenaka Half Bingwei roared in the camp.
From this day on, the half-army guards of the Zhuzhong army have not yet gained peace. Either they were marching during the day and were shot in black or explosives were buried on the road. They were subjected to various sneak attacks at night, sometimes three or four times a night.
In just two days, the elite army was completely exhausted, and the half-man guard of Takenaka did not send anyone to pursue the attackers. He simply packed up and continued to move forward.
Several times the sentry was released at night, but after these sentries were protruding out of the camp, they rarely came back alive. Even so, the half-man guard of Takenaka could only send additional personnel.
After walking for two days, he finally arrived ten miles outside Kyoto City. Now, Takenaka Banbue only wants to go into the city to have a good rest, and he doesn't even think about cutting off Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat.
Although it was constantly attacked and only more than 1,000 people were lost, the army was more tired. Especially in the past two days, the half-man guard of Takenaka had basically not slept, and he wished he could fall asleep on a horse.
"Everyone is working hard! Kyoto is ahead. You can have a good rest when you arrive in Kyoto. The wine, geisha, and soft couch are all waiting for us. Let's go!"
The words of Takenaka Half-Baiwei were repeated and gradually spread in the army, which really increased the speed of the army a lot. What they want most now is a soft short couch, which would be even better if they could have a soft body beside them.
Everyone cheered up. They had already walked so far, leaving only the last ten miles. They no longer worried about being attacked. They could have a good rest. How could they not be excited about these soldiers?
Just as the army was rushing to the road, a team of three thousand people appeared in front of the team.
Seeing this group of people, Takenaka Banbui couldn't help but narrow his eyes and whispered to himself: "Tokugawa Ieyasu! I only brought such a few people, can you dare to block the army's way?"
...
"Dad! Are we too few people? There are more than 8,000 people on the other side of Takenaka Half-Shipman. With such a big gap, I'm afraid that..." Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a worried look on his face.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was also nervous, but his face did not show up. He slowly spoke: "Ieguang! We defected to the Ming people and surrounded Kyoto. Apart from following the Ming people to the end, there was no way out!
What we can do at this moment is to believe in the Ming people and the Marquis!
The Marquis arranged for them to come over and would definitely help us win. We just need to be prepared for the decisive battle!"
"Hi..." Tokugawa Iemitsu hesitated and nodded.
Takenaka Half-Baiwei was feeling differently. After days of depression, he finally had the chance to vent his anger. It was so uncomfortable to be beaten but not find an opponent. Tokugawa Ieyasu dared to stop him with such a few people. It was simply a punching bag sent by him.
"The warriors of the Great Japanese Kingdom! The rebellion is there, kill them all and defend His Majesty the Emperor!"
