Chapter 5: First battle to show your strength

4days ago Historical fiction 4
The next day, the Emperor convened his close ministers to convene an imperial meeting, and finally passed a resolution and issued an edict to invite the general of the Sun and Moon Dynasty Mingyu to be the imperial general, which is the general around the Emperor, to exercise command power on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and command all the troops under the Emperor's name.

This is already the highest honor among the military generals of Fusang Kingdom.

Mingyu doesn't care about the general's reputation, what he wants is actual command.

Therefore, after receiving the emperor's edict, Mingyu still did not move forward and visited prostitutes in Nagasaki Prefecture every day.

As the most prosperous commercial port in the south of Fusang Country, Nagasaki is naturally very developed in customs and industries. In addition, Mingyu is young, handsome and rich, so she is naturally very popular among major brothels.

In the Sun and Moon Dynasty, children from aristocratic families of literati and politicians often chose to go to party and recite poems and lyrics in brothels.

Visiting prostitutes in that dynasty was just a very ordinary romantic event. For this reason, the Sun and Moon Dynasty also set up special official prostitutes to serve the nobles and nobles.

So as long as you don’t lead troops to fight, it is common for Mingyu and Liu Mingren to stay in a brothel.

Then the two of them took their guards to taste the famous banquet, the human flesh banquet, at the Taoyuan Pavilion, Nagasaki.

Human meat banquet sounds quite scary. In fact, it is not eating human meat, but the utensils used to serve vegetables are naked young girls. They are all carefully selected girls in brothels and have been treated with hair removal. The surface of their bodies is filled with delicious food and tables.

At this time, the two girls with good figures and white skin were all naked like big Aries, and their pubic hair under their armpits and lower abdomen were shaved cleanly.

The adult font was lying flat on the long table, with delicacies from the chest to the thighs, and they were placed in front of Mingyu and Liu Mingren one by one.

This way of eating is really fresh. Every inch of the girl's skin is exposed to the air, and it also emits a unique body fragrance of the girl.

At such a close distance, you can carefully appreciate the extremely smooth skin, the sharp and sharp breasts that are so slim that they can hold, and their dazzling white and thin legs bent and knee-length, facing the guests with white and hairless private parts.

Lao Liu, this time I was really open-minded. I have never seen this way of eating. Is it eating or eating? Mingyu gently pushed away her fragrant and naked jade house with chopsticks and peeled out the pink and charming jade hole.

She teased this charming little fairy and laughed at her, and her face was like peach blossoms and spring affection. Although she was young, her seductive appearance was so exciting enough.

This is the most attractive place in Taoyuan Pavilion, something that no one can eat.Can you take both sides?Liu Mingren was calm and free to express himself.

The girl next to her was fed a glass of wine.

There were only two guests in the room. In addition to the two girls on the dining table in front of them, there were also several young women wearing short and narrow clothes serving each other.

These are all his ideas.

The purpose of letting Mingyu let go of the play and visit prostitutes was to give people the impression of a playboy from aristocratic families and to reduce their vigilance from those with ulterior motives.

So they linger in various brothels every day, except for traveling around and enjoying the waters, and seem to have no concern about the military emergency ahead.

They were not in a hurry, but some people were in a hurry. Just as they were drinking and visiting prostitutes, Toshiki Nishida ran over panting.

He broke into the room where Mingyu was eating and fell to his knees all of a sudden.

Because he made contributions to the Sun and Moon Dynasty, he had been promoted to the emperor's servant, and the person who was responsible contacted the envoy of the Sun and Moon Dynasty.

Nishida Toshiki said with a sad face: Don’t play anymore, two adults, now you are already in a hurry. The day before yesterday, the shogunate army launched another large attack, and our side suffered 3,000 casualties.This is the third recent attack, and if this continues, no one will defend our walls.When the news came, His Majesty the Emperor was shocked and had already sent you the imperial decree to the dispatch of troops. Please go to rescue quickly.

Mingyu and Liu Mingren looked at each other and their goal was achieved.

So the two of them left one after another.

On that day, the Emperor sent the military mobilization talisman to Mingyu and formally appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the front line, with the right to mobilize all troops in front.

Mingyu returned to the camp and began to mobilize his troops and generals, and the entire war machine started to move.

He took the two barracks ashore and he was about to take one up first, and the other as a reserve team was responsible for protecting the port to the transportation line ahead.

He asked Liu Mingren to stay in Nagasaki to deal with the emperor, while staring at the big families so that they would not do anything behind them.

With Liu Mingren's cunning, he is more than enough to deal with these people.

Mingyu brought Fenglin Camp first this time, with about 4,000 people. There were not many people, but they were all veterans who played equipment. They played well in both siege and defending equipment.

Another trekking camp stayed in the rear as a reserve team.

Before leaving, Mingyu also found Yu Nishiyu and gave him a long list, which were commonly used materials in the army for him to prepare, so that they would have to make more blood when sending troops.

Osashimi Tomori took the order with a bitter face and felt dizzy when he saw the long numbers inside.

Except for the food provided by the Sun and Moon Dynasty, the rest were prepared by the Mosa Domain, and even the transported civilians were provided by the Mosa Domain.

But he couldn't refuse. Now that he had the support of the emperor, he was asking for help from others, so he had to grit his teeth and agreed.

When everything was ready, Mingyu said goodbye to Liu Mingren and rushed forward.

Akiyu rushed to the narrowest place between the Kyushu Peninsula and Honshu, where two walls were built to block the shogunate troops from Honshu.

Both sides have been blocking the wall for more than half a year, and countless casualties have been killed or injured on both sides.

The number of people killed more than 30,000, and the number of people injured is twice that of this number. This is the famous battle between the walls in history.

Mingyu was riding a horse in the team, with neat warriors marching silently behind him, and followed by a brigade of civilians.

Seeing these civil servants Mingyu couldn't help but frown.

Who were sent to him by Osashi Nishitori? Almost all women, except women, were half-old children, and were transferred from various villages in their territories.

Later, Mingyu learned that all the men in these villages were dead, leaving only orphans and widows, which was a famous widow village.

There are no more men in the village.

Moreover, the village had already run out of food. They rushed to be a civilian for the sake of the food of the civilians. Some half-aged children also insisted on coming and carrying a big bag in the team.

After all, the supply of war soldiers in the Sun and Moon Dynasty is still very rich.

Mingyu knew that Tomori Osashi had tried his best, so he would not blame him.

It takes 2 days to run from Nagasaki Prefecture to Guanmu, and at least 5-6 days to march in the infantry.

I will rest on the roadside at night.

That night, Mingyu was patrolling the camp, and beatings and scolding came from the front.

Mingyu inspected and found an auxiliary soldier beating and scolding a few half-year-old children.

Mingyu went over to stop him and asked what happened?

The auxiliary soldier said angrily: Report to the general that these children from the civil servants come to steal things at night, and specialize in stealing food.I caught

Mingyu saw that there were still a few white flour cakes thrown on the ground, so he frowned and asked: Isn’t the food you send to the civilians every day?

The auxiliary soldier quickly replied: The young one dare not, the young one dare not.The food was distributed on time and in quantity, and the secretary testified.These children are just thief-hearted.

Mingyu asked someone to bring a few children over. These are all teenage children who look pale and have skin due to long-term malnutrition, including men and women.

Mingyu asked majestic questions: Why are you here to steal food? Is it because our people don’t give enough food?

Several children were frightened by the momentum of this man wearing general armor and knelt down to beg for mercy. The oldest one said: We couldn't bear to eat our food, so we left it to our family to take it back to help our lives, but we were so hungry that we could not bear it, so we came to steal food. We were willing to treat you as a cow and make a horse. After that, we kept kowtowing.

Mingyu asked if this situation is common?

The little boy said that everyone was the same, they had not had enough food for a long time, so Mingyu ordered the child to be released and gave the logistics officer an order to give all the children double rations so that they could only work after they were full.

Mingyu didn't expect that this order saved many lives and made these children feel grateful to him.

Within two days, the military discipline officer also came to find Mingyu and said that during the evening break, he found that women from the civil servants often ran to the camp.

Use their bodies and soldiers to exchange food.

Give a bread to make it once, and if you give a small bag of food, you will spend the night with you.

This made many soldiers on the night time use the leftovers in their hands to keep warm with these women.

The military discipline officer asked if he wanted to tie up these soldiers and beat them up.

Mingyu didn't expect that the village had already had famine to this extent, and it was useless to punish soldiers just by punishing them. There would still be women who seduce soldiers for food. The chief guard also persuaded him: According to the local saying, it is unlucky for a boy to go to the battlefield and he will die very quickly, so there is a custom in the local area to find a woman to do it once the eve of the battlefield.Look at the many great guys in our camp have never met women in their lives, so let them relax.

Mingyu also knew that this was why the profession of camp prostitutes in the army of all dynasties was to appease the body and mind of young soldiers.

But they came from the mainland thousands of miles away, so no woman was willing to follow her so far, so she didn't bring the camp prostitute.

Instead of letting them sneak in this time, it is better to recruit local women to be camp prostitutes publicly, with a limit of 300 women, each time they settled with food, and then deducted money and food from the salary of soldiers who visited prostitutes every time.

It comforted the soldiers and helped the local villagers.

This idea is asked by the logistics officer to arrange it, and they are worried about how to convene and settle it.

However, Mingyu made several suggestions, and the first battalion of prostitutes were organized in the logistics team and separated from the combat battalion.

Second, soldiers are not allowed to visit prostitutes during the battle, and military discipline officials are responsible for the management. Third, they must be selected as married women, preferably widows.

The little girl doesn't want it, and she must be willing to do so.

After hearing this, the chief guard immediately went to pass the order.

After the logistics officer went to the civil servant to publish the news, the applicants were enthusiastic when they heard that they paid for the food.

Half of the thousands of female husbands have to sign up for the call, and most of the women meet the requirements.

As a result, the logistics officer had to say that a group of people would be replaced every month to comfort these women. I heard that many girls had their hair tied up and pretended to be women to respond.

Mingyu didn't care about this matter and planned the subsequent battles wholeheartedly.

In just two days, they arrived at the longest and narrowest area on the top of the Kyushu Peninsula.

It is located on both sides of the sea, and in the middle is a passage that is more than a hundred miles long and ten miles wide. It is the only passage entering and leaving the Kyushu Kingdom. In the narrowest part of the passage, the Mossa family built two walls with stones as defense.

Both walls are 8-9 meters high and 10 miles apart, and there are passages and doors on the walls.

It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The shogunate army spent a lot of money to break through the first line of defense, but it was already insufficient in front of the second line of defense, so it stopped in front of the wall.

Three days, one small fight, five days, one big fight, and the Mosa family were exhausted.

Hojo Masato wanted to use up all the strength of the Mossa family and force them to open the city and surrender.

Now both sides are closing the wall and killing the wounds, almost 100,000 people. They have reached their limit, and it depends on who can't support them first.

But Hojo Masato was supported by the entire kingdom behind him, and he was confident that the final victory belonged to him.

Mingyu arrived at the front line of the wall and immediately summoned the guards to announce the emperor's edict to show the military talisman of the Mossa vassal.

He quickly took over the command of Guancheng.

The famous Kyushu general Shimazu Yoshihiro was also guarding the wall. As soon as he saw the emperor's edict and military talisman, he decisively handed over the command.

While transporting the food and food supplies to Guancheng, Mingyu went to Guancheng to check the military situation.

Akiyu's side was not only guarded, but also joined the army, Yanagawa Mae Bingwei as the translator.

Shimazu Yoshihiro also looked down on Yanagawa Mae Bingwei at first, but when he heard that Yanagawa Mae Bingwei came from the ancient Yanagawa family, he immediately felt awe.

It made Mingyu very interested in Yanagawa's origin.

Shimazu Yoshihiro explained that the Yanagawa family is the most famous swordsman in Fusang Kingdom, and that his family's One-Sword Sword Technique is famous all over the country.

It is the martial arts family that every warrior admires the most.

Oh, Liuchuan, you still have such a great reputation. When will we discuss and see if your Yishao Liu is powerful or my Six Paths of Sword Technique is powerful? Mingyu quipped with a smile.

Yanagawa is a serious person, but he still shook his head seriously: My swordsmanship has not reached its peak, so he went to the mainland Sun and Moon Dynasty to study. When my swordsmanship is great, I will definitely agree to your challenge.

Mingyu laughed loudly after hearing this, and admired Yanagawa Mae Bingei's straightforwardness more and more.

This is a warrior who makes a living by martial arts.

During the inspection of the wall, Yoshihiro Shimazu introduced the battle situation and the situation of the garrison troops at the wall, and also observed the appearance of the shogunate army opposite.

To be honest, Mingyu looked down upon both sides.

There is no real standing army in the Fusang Kingdom. There are only private soldiers and samurai in the hands of each family. Only when war is fought will the peasants be organized and distributed to weapons and armor to become troops, and the warriors are in charge of command.

How powerful can a light foot (the lowest-level soldier) composed of a group of untrained farmers can be? It is nothing more than a group of cannon fodder.

Both sides of the war are the same. They are not about who can fight but just about the courage.

However, this is the same as the ideas upheld by the various vassal states. Soldiers do not need any martial arts, as long as they have loyalty and courage, it is enough.

The two sides can fight for so long purely because they are filled with their lives.

Another Fusang soldier's equipment is also despised. In addition to the cast Tang swords, it is also a bit advanced. The guns are all bamboo guns, and the bows are all bamboo bows. Only warriors have a set of bamboo armor, and those with light feet only have cloth armor.

The worst generals like the Sun and Moon Dynasty are also Wenshan armor. High-level generals have bright light armor to protect them.

Instead, the soldiers were made of paper armor made of linen fishing nets and fish glue. Although it was paper armor, it was as hard as cotton armor than iron armor.

Now let these Fusang people see what the real war is.

So Akita asked Shimazu Yoshihiro's people to get down the wall and replaced his Fenglin Camp to defend the wall.

So Fenglin Camp went to the wall and began to arrange defense according to training requirements. A large number of eight-ox bed crossbows, stone-throwing carriages and fire guns, grenades, and grenades were arranged on the city wall, and a female wall was added to the city wall.

Mingyu's soldiers demarcated the shooting area in an orderly manner and calibrated the shooting injected yuan.

He saw Shimazu Yoshihiro and other generals beside him stunned and confused.

Two days later, the shogunate army opposite started attacking again, this time it was a big attack.

The shogunate troops on the opposite side attacked densely. They held countless wooden rafts to cover the infantry and archers to approach the city, and there were countless light feet carrying bamboo ladders behind them to prepare to rush to the city.

They have attacked like this countless times, and there is no need to test the attack, but this time it is a little different.

In the past, the guards standing densely on the city walls could not see a few people this time. It seemed that countless attacks had already shrunk the blood of the Mossa family. The commander of the shogunate army thought so.

Seeing that there were 5,000 people attacking the opposite side, and there were only 4,000 people on the city wall and they were divided into two shifts. Seeing that Shimazu Yoshihiro's khan was all coming down, the other party could stand on the city wall with just one wave.

But seeing Ming Yu next to him with a calm expression, he did not interfere at all, but handed over the command ahead to Feng Zicai, the commander of Feng Lin Camp, and he was a little calmer.

When the shogunate army approached 350 steps of Guancheng, a signal soldier ordered the crossbow to prepare. Amid a squeak, iron arrows 2 meters long and thick as an arm were stringed. When the enemy approached the best distance of the crossbow to 300 steps, Feng Zi ordered a volley.

Countless huge iron arrows flew towards the enemy formation like javelins, and the target was erected wooden rafts. This target was too obvious.

Under the powerful impact of the iron arrow.

The wooden raft was either broken or flew into the air, but the iron arrow still had a speed, and the crowd that flew into the wooden raft brought a bunch of blood.

The middle one either flies across the body or is strung into a string.

The shogunate army was beaten up in the first attack, but they were worthy of being soldiers who fought for a long time on the battlefield. After a brief stop, the shogunate army continued to attack forward with iron arrows. But just as it approached 200 steps, the stone-throwing machine began to show its power again, pouring piles of gravel onto the head of the shogunate army.

Don’t underestimate these gravels as big as goose eggs. The stones thrown from high altitude can easily shatter the skull. Even if the head is hit and the shoulder is hit, the shoulder blade can also shatter the scapula. The key is that the gravel is too dense and cannot be avoided. Those who are not hit are blessed by the great gods.

The ground was covered with soldiers injured by Massia, but the shogunate commander knew that he could not stop at this time, so he became a target when he stopped, so he drew his long sword to take the lead in charge.

They stepped on the corpse and launched a Jade Crush attack, taking advantage of the large number of people to approach the front of the city of Guancheng, and were preparing to suppress the city of Guancheng with bows and arrows.

At this time, a small trumpet was blown again from the city gate, and muskets stretched out from the female wall, aiming at the group of soldiers, and a volley of large shots were shot into the crowd like raindrops. No armor-stomach could block such bullets.

In this way, after the bed crossbow was hit, the stone thrower was hit, and after the stone thrower was hit, the whole movement was as smooth as the industrial process, and few people could survive such a series of blows.

Even when such a person rushed to the wall and prepared to climb the city in one breath, several smoked conical clay pots were thrown down from the wall, and they exploded at their feet, and the caltrops contained in them flew everywhere.

There were no one standing within 10 meters.

The soldiers of the Shogunate Army were consumed at an astonishing speed, and the heart of Hojo Masato, who was commanding from afar, was bleeding. Even if he still had 40,000 people in his hand, he could not withstand such consumption. He could not put too many people in front of the wall, and at most 10,000 people would be the best.

But at this rate of casualties, even if 10,000 people were killed, they would not be able to occupy the wall.

Masato Hojo has doubts about his prospects for the first time.

Compared with the painful mood of Masato Hojo, the generals of the Mossa family who were watching the battle on the city were smiling happily.

Seeing that their opponent suffered heavy losses this time, but they didn't even find it by the wall, they were happy and felt that their wars for so many years were in vain. Compared with other people's art of war, their fighting style, which was only able to charge and only use human flesh, was simply a waste of life.

The 5,000-man shogunate army was killed or killed in less than a morning. The three charges they launched did not reach the base of the wall, and even several warriors in charge were killed.

Finally, the commander of the army came to beg Hojo Masato to give him another person and ask him to charge again, Hojo Masato closed his eyes in pain and made an order to retreat.

The shogunate troops retreated in shame, and cheers came from the walls.

When Shimazu Yoshihiro came to congratulate Akiyu, Akiyu just said lightly that this time was just a slight test.

Let Shimazu Yoshihiro's troops go out of the city to cut off the heads and repay the merits.

This battle opened the eyes of Shimazu Yoshihiro's people, and there were also ready-made heads to repay the merits, so everyone went happily.

Mingyu's side summarizes experience in reorganizing materials.

In the end, Shimazu Yoshihiro's men left the city and cut 3,000 heads back, which was considered to have avenged the revenge a few days ago, and the others fled back to the opposite camp.

Shimazu Yoshihiro wanted to remember all his military achievements on Fenglinying, Akiyu did not agree. In the end, the result of the two sides' refusal was half of the family, which also made Shimazu Yoshihiro feel that he had taken advantage of it.

Afterwards, Masato Hojo, who was unwilling to give up, launched a larger attack after full preparations and sent an army of 10,000 people to attack the city in turn.

The entire Fenglin Camp fought for a day, causing blood to flow outside the wall to spread across the fields, and did not allow the shogunate army to step onto the city wall.

Now Hojo Masato completely gave up, and at the same time he also found out that the opponent was a new opponent like the Sun and Moon Dynasty, so the entire army retreated to the first wall to camp and quickly report the situation to the shogunate.

Akiyu waited on the wall for a few more days and saw that the shogunate army was really unwilling to fight again, so he divided the Fenglin Camp into two groups, one group of people who supplemented Ueshimazu Yoshihiro to help defend the city, and the other group of people with him retreated to the camp where only the logistics camp was stationed in the remaining logistics camp, and then rotated to the city to work on duty.
