Chapter 775 Tanka

The remaining enemy soldiers finally retreated, and the remaining few fled everywhere in the ruins.

The Ming army vanguard was also very chaotic, and some people took the opportunity to breathe. Before everyone could rectify the queue, unexpectedly, next to the broken wall in front, another group of Japanese soldiers suddenly rushed out.

Someone shouted: Chicken House (sound)!A group of short people screamed wildly and began to charge.

At this time, the sound of bronze instruments sounded behind, and someone shouted: Thousands of household orders, the vanguard team retreated!

withdraw!The generals in the crowd shouted, and everyone immediately gave up fighting in line and turned around and retreated.

Two soldiers holding the injured soldiers glanced at the musket team behind them, and hurriedly dragged the injured soldiers to the pile of earth and rocks on the side to avoid them.

The Japanese army flocked in, and almost everyone was shouting fiercely.On the narrow road of this place and the rugged ruins of the earth and buildings, one or twenty people rushed out of the surging formation.

Many people shouted, "Dad, Ah," the Ming soldiers didn't know what they mean, but it could be seen that the Japanese army was definitely not begging for mercy.

The enemy troops rushed to the reinforcements behind the Ming army with Japanese swords and spears.

The enemy's crowd was getting closer and closer and rushed to within ten steps.

Bang bang bang... Chunhan Qing guns lined across the road and on the mound of soil suddenly emitted a dense explosion, and the volley of fire flashed everywhere.

The shouts in the Japanese army suddenly subsided a lot, replaced by painful and terrifying screams, and many people fell to the ground.

After only a short while, the second team of the Ming army's musket soldiers came up and shot again with another volley.

A Japanese warrior in armor knelt on one knee on the ground. At this time, another blood beads flew straight in his chest. He shook his whole body and finally fell to the ground.

The remaining enemy soldiers stopped advancing and turned around and ran away.

Unexpectedly, a Japanese man waved his fan dozens of steps away and shouted again.

Ah!Another group of people shouted in unison and rushed towards them with all kinds of weapons.

Bang bang bang bang... The Ming army musketeers who had just changed their teams immediately fired.

The Japanese soldiers were constantly killed and injured, and the new bodies pressed against the dead before. They were shot from far to near, and they were shot from two rounds of volleys, and the remaining soldiers retreated again.

However, Wan Liang and others couldn't believe it. Then there was another shout from the other side, and another group of lively enemy soldiers rushed out!

A group of enemy soldiers held spears and held Japanese swords, staring at the Ming army's formation and running desperately, as if they were ready to start fighting immediately.

However, the fight failed to come. This time, the Ming army not only fired a volley with muskets, but also threw a round of pig iron thunder.

The booming explosion and the dense explosion of muskets made the ruins feel like they were struck by lightning, and the corpses on the ground were blown to pieces.The Japanese army's shouts of killing also subsided.

The smoke filled the front, and there was another sound of muskets in front of the Ming army, and white smoke covered the ground like fog.

Until Wanliang ordered: Stop!The muskets retreated.Everyone finally stopped shooting.

The smoke on the battlefield gradually spread in the caressing wind. The previous huge shouts were gone, leaving only a few scattered moans.

The soldiers slowly advanced forward, and saw the ground full of corpses and blood flowing everywhere.

The air is filled with a very complex odor, which makes people dizzy when mixed with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

A Japanese soldier struggled and crawled on the ground. He covered his stomach with one hand and grabbed the ground with blood. He spoke some painful tone in his mouth. His face was full of tears, and he no longer had his previous fierce expression.

Another wounded enemy soldier lay on his back on the ground, looking at the east side, as if he was repeatedly calling for someone.

The Ming army began to rectify its ranks, forming a column with swords, shields, spearmen, and muskets, and reorganized the army to advance to the place where the Japanese army launched a charge.

It was obviously a complete victory, but everyone did not pursue the kill without authorization. They were very cautious and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, but the desperate momentum really left an impression on the soldiers.

After a while, the people in front shouted: Thousands of households, the enemy soldiers retreated, there is no one here!

So Wanliang ordered all teams to keep in line and continue to advance towards Honmaru.

The distance was not far, and Wan Liang soon led his troops to the front of Honmaru.

Benmaru is a thick and sturdy yard with a well-grilled gate and riveted from heavy wooden boards.

Inside are tile houses and pavilions built with rammed earth, a corner has collapsed.

There are archers behind the wall, and people show their heads from time to time.

There is an open space in front of the gate, but it is not flat, with a gradient in height, and the mud floor has been stepped on.Hundreds of Ming soldiers came to this open space and lined up to confront each other.

Wanliang rode his horse and watched from a distance for a while, and ordered: Send someone to pass on the order to transport the Hongwu cannons.

Get order!

In just a while, Wan Liang had made up his mind.

It seems that the Japanese army's tactics are to fight in a narrow place, so Wanliang is unwilling to send infantry troops to attack.

He planned to use a mortar cannon to blast the yard into ruins, blast the door open, then throw pig iron thunder in, and finally send infantry to clear it out.

Unexpectedly, the door was opened by someone.

First, two teams of Japanese soldiers holding flags walked out and lined up on both sides, and then a man riding a horse and wearing armor came out.A Japanese man shouted in Chinese: The city lord asked the head commander of the Ming army to talk.

The generals around Wan Liang immediately advised: Wanli, beware of fraud.We don’t have to pay attention to it. When the cannons are transported to the front, we will just blow them into pieces of meat before we talk about it.

However, the Japanese general was already walking forward, and he only had one follower with him.

Wan Liangqie knew that the soldiers in the army despised the timid and afraid of death the most. Seeing this, he said: Even if there is a fraud, don’t we still have a deputy family?

After he said that, he greeted the Korean monk not far away and said: Follow me and be a translator.

The Korean monk looked very ugly and said hesitantly: I obey the order.

Both sides rode their horses to a muddy piece in the middle and looked at each other.

The Japanese general said something till hell, and the Korean monk translated: The soldiers of the Zong family are all obedient people, and they once vowed to obey the will of the city lord.As long as I declare my surrender, the general will not encounter resistance in Tsushima Island.

After hearing this, Wan Liang asked simply: What are your conditions?

The Japanese general Zong seemed to understand this short sentence. Without waiting for the translation, he quickly responded in Chinese with difficulty: Please, allow, I will question it.

Touching the belly?Wanliang doesn't understand the exact meaning of this word.

The Korean monk said: It is to stolen the caesarean section. The Japanese samurai expressed loyalty in this way, or to be liberated from crimes and failures.The meaning of the latter is probably after doing it, he believed that there was no sin or shame on his soul.

Wan Liang asked: Is this the only condition?

The Korean monk translated it.The general leaned forward and bowed on the horse's back and said, "Yes."

Wan Liang said: The deal was completed.But the official army will still punish those who are guilty according to the law.

When Zong heard the translation, he bowed silently to express his agreement.

Na Zong turned his head and said a few words to his entourage.The Korean monk directly translated: Taro, come and help me.After I died, I ordered everyone to stop fighting uselessly and obey the Ming people's actions.

Wan Liang asked: Is this person the eldest son of the head of the Zong family?

The Korean monk said: It seems to be the name.

Wan Liang said: Isn’t that book the enemy who killed his father?

A Korean monk said: I once studied in a temple in Japan. As far as I know, if the governors of various countries die in defeat and commit suicide, they will admit that they have failed, which is not considered hatred.

Then the head of the Zong family went to a relatively intact house nearby, and wrote a book of surrender in it, preparing to slaughter things.

The head of the family wiped a short knife clean, put it in front of him, then looked out the door and murmured with a lasting word.

Seeing this, Wanliang walked out the door and waited for the result.

Soon a painful groan came from it, and the sound was so painful that it was heard.Moreover, the Zong clan has not died for a long time and has been shouting in it for a long time.

The flag bearers outside the door of the big mansion put down their weapons and flags, knelt on the ground, facing the place where the royal family was punished.

After a while, the remaining people from the gate also walked out one after another and knelt outside the gate.

Wan Liang remembered Zong's last words at this time, and asked the monk beside him: What did the head of the family just said?

The monk said: It should be a short song, which is roughly "a place of depression, a hopeless world."

After hearing this, Wan Liang was speechless, and his ears were still filled with groans of pain.At this time, he looked up at the east side, and his eyes passed through the front mountain, and the boundless sea surface could be seen faintly at the end.

When he turned to look west, he saw the forest without any traces of human beings.But the city on the hillside has turned into ruins...

As the head of the Zong family said, the military and civilians after surrendered had no resistance, and they were asked to do whatever they were told to do, and they could do their best to work. This made Wanliang feel a little incredible.

An official from the pedestrian department who has been to Annanguo explained that in the south where there are many fruits, vegetables, birds and animals in the wild, it is easy for people there to not starve to death.

However, the mountains and forests in Japan are cold and deserted. If most people are not tolerated by the crowd, they will be almost dead, so they are all more obedient.

Wan Liang felt that the civil servant said it quite reasonable.

The damaged city was abandoned by the Ming army, and the remaining house of the Honmaru was well-built and became the property of the Thousand Households.

The Ming army's stronghold followed the deployment of the imperial court and rebuilt the Thousand Houses of Ma Guarding the Mas.

The officials from the Ministry of Works' Construction Agency selected a relatively flat place near the bay.

People began to build polygonal fortresses based on the bastion drawings they carried, using tri-soil made of lime, pottery powder and gravel, as well as rammed earth and other materials.

The Japanese military general who once fought stubbornly in the city and the Sotaro were all regarded as war criminals.They are lucky enough to follow the navy fleet to Beijing and become important personnel at the prisoner ceremony.
