Chapter 276 Hellfire Action
"Bang!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hands were heavily slapped on the desk, and his general Takenaka Half of the Army was killed, with more than 3,700 casualties, only capturing the periphery of Jiegang.
Such a heavy price, even if he had never seen it for many years of fighting. If Takenaka Banbingwei had not been killed in battle, he would have wished he would have cut this guy into pieces.
Although the order to support the king has been issued and there are still people from Japan who have arrived continuously, those ordinary people who have just put down their hoes, and they are okay to fight a smooth battle. You can imagine the consequences of the Ming people.
The few elite soldiers who took the Takenaka Half of the Bianwei lost, but without these people, even if the Okuno is driven away, what else can he use to rule Japan?
Will those rebellious strong fans obey his orders? Toyotomi Hideyoshi doesn't need to think clearly, and then it will be another chaotic Warring States Period.
It took decades to unify Japan, and he must not let Japan return to his own era of fighting. If he wants to continue to maintain his rule in Japan, the only way is to...
...
"boom!"
The sound of cannons sounded, hundreds of shotguns swept across the streets, and the Japanese rushing forward fell down, and the narrow streets allowed the power of shotguns to be maximized.
Each lead bullet can penetrate several people's bodies. The warriors who rushed to the front row were smashed and they could no longer see their true colors.
The expression of shouting "Onboard!" was shocked, and the enthusiastic Japanese were frightened, and they turned around and ran back wildly. The firearm tactics used by the Ming people were very different from their previous battles of swinging knives to fight in groups.
They always kill a team. Who can withstand such casualties? But they haven't run back yet, and they are greeted by dense rain of arrows.
"Swoosh!"
The arrow shot over and shot the retreating Japanese people. A warrior kept waving at them and shouted: "Go back! Go back! You all go back! The lord has an order, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"
These samurai were the direct retainers of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They were not ruthless in killing the Japanese and did not leave any way for the Japanese to survive.
The Japanese who came from all the way to serve the king were tragedy. In front of them were Ming people with fierce firepower, and behind them were cold-blooded and ruthless direct-leading warriors. They were sandwiched in the middle and couldn't even escape.
This battle lasted for several days, and people began to escape from the Japanese camp. However, under the control of the direct leader warriors, most of them were caught back.
The fate of these people was very miserable and became a role model to shock others. The sluggish morale was confused in the Japanese camp. Everyone was praying that they would never be sent to the flesh-and-blood mill in Jiegang.
In a dilapidated house in Jiegang, Sheng Yong tore off a dried fish, chewed the potatoes a few times, and swallowed it with his eyes closed.
"The dried fish of the Japanese are so terrible. I don't know how to sprinkle some spices. This thing is in Nuer Dried Dusi, and even pigs can't be eaten!"
"Okay! It's good to find dried fish in Jiegang. The people of the Second Legion were too clean and even took away the rags for wiping the pot. What else can you expect to find?" Shen Qiu rolled his eyes and said.
Instead of trying to deal with the dried fish like a knife, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, sprinkled the off-white powder on the potatoes, and then took a bite.
Sheng Yong's eyes lit up instantly, he rushed directly to Shen Qiu's side, and reached out to grab it.
"You boy also hides good things, and you can get half of the meeting!"
Shen Qiu quit and pushed Sheng Yong away and said, "This is the sesame salt made by my wife. You want to find your own wife!"
"No! Are we brothers? Last time I even blocked you a knife! You..."
Chen Qiu rolled his eyes. This guy kept this matter aside. Every time hesitated to give it to Sheng Yong, He Daning's voice came from outside.
"How are you all preparing? I have issued a military order. If it cannot be completed, I will clean up you first!" He Daning said, and walked in from outside.
Sheng Yong immediately met and said, "Don't worry! All the jars are put in, there is absolutely no problem!"
"Well! Then..., huh! Sesame salt..., I didn't eat it either! Give me some!" He Daning said, and saw the cloth bag in Chen Qiu's hand.
Chen Qiu simply stuffed the cloth bag into He Daning's hand, and squeezed his eyes at Sheng Yong, making the other party's gritting teeth "cruff!" sound.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded outside. Several people looked over and grabbed the muskets beside them and ran out of the room.
"Come with me in the third squadron!"
"The Seventh Squadron follows me, and the little Japanese are coming up again!"
The sesame salt in He Daning's hand fell to the ground, and no one looked at it again...
...
Toyotomi Hideyoshi walked in the Biangang with a gloomy face. Especially when he saw the broken city lord's mansion, he cursed directly: "Baga! Damn Ming pig! I will kill the mainland sooner or later, so that you will become slaves to the Great Japanese!"
The many samurai who followed him did not dare to say anything, and carefully cleaned the door, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi walked into the mansion.
As soon as he walked into the mansion, Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw many half-person-high jars placed in the corner of the wall, several of which had been broken and black and viscous liquid flowing out.
Pointing at the pile of jars, Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked, "What is that?"
The warriors around him were a little dumbfounded. No one knew where these jars came from. One of them tried to walk over, and he held up a little with his hand and smelled it. He immediately disliked him and wanted to get rid of it.
The black liquid stuck directly to his hands, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't clean it up. Even if he rubbed it on the ground, there would be black marks left on his hands.
"Sir! Are these things oily?" a warrior reminded carefully.
"Grease...? Takano! Go and try!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi said and took a few steps back. If these things are really oil left by Akito, would the other party use fire attack?
Most of the buildings in Japan are made of wooden structures and rarely use masonry and stone. Once a fire occurs, the entire city will burn.
After thinking about it, Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt it was impossible. Even if he wanted to use fire attack, the Aoi would not put things so obviously.
Everyone was puzzled, Takano walked to the jar and rolled some black liquid with the branches. He walked out far away before blowing the fire and lit it on the black liquid.
It was not until the fire broke out completely and the grease was only melted by roasting, and there was no sign of burning, that everyone's heart was relieved.
"Clean these things and don't be upset here!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered casually, but the samurai's faces made the samurai feel bitter.
This thing is so difficult to clean, and it can't be shaken off at all. How to clean it up? There are jars like this in the city everywhere, where do you want to throw these jars?
The place near the sea of Jiegang is still in the hands of the Ming people. Even if you want to throw these things into the sea, you will be worried about the warriors.
