Chapter 764: Unstoppable
"What to do with the remaining two thousand people?" Cheng Sanbao was also very tired.
"Push them all back, these people have been scared out of their wits." Liu Rudao exhaled, "Yesterday the governor said that to support the female Japanese king Sugako Sachiko, these people will be kept as cannon fodder!"
"Why are you being cannon fodder? I haven't killed enough yet!" There were two bags on Cheng Wubao's horse, which were filled to the brim and were almost full.
Si Bao couldn't help but ask: "How many dogs have you killed?"
"It's not that much. From yesterday to today, there are more than 900 people!" Cheng Wubao said very unhappily.
Cheng Sibao was silent, he had killed more than a hundred dogs.
Liu Rudao almost didn't collapse. He worked so hard and only managed to draw more than 700 lines. Cheng Wubao kept silent and almost made 1,000 lines.
Yesterday, he promoted a general. This achievement would make a dog laugh.
Cheng Sanbao scolded: "It's all you. It takes two swords to kill a dog, so why don't you just slap your ears?"
"That won't work. If I don't use two swords, I always feel unsatisfied!" Cheng Wubao said: "Third brother, it's fine. Practice makes perfect. I don't have to swing the third sword now, it's so smooth!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you a mission. Take these people back. Everyone else, rest on the spot. After resting, continue the pursuit. We must capture Echizen Country today!" Cheng Sanbao said.
"No, third brother, I..."
Before Wu Bao finished speaking, San Bao kicked you, "Go if you are told, and I'll beat you to death if you talk nonsense!"
Wubao muttered: "I know that you are not like my brother anymore, the general manager of the University of Science and Technology!"
...
On the other side, Dafan County.
After waiting all night for reinforcements from the Japanese island country to arrive, Chai Rong finally arrived at the Tanba Kingdom with an army of 8,000 men before daybreak at around Yinshi today.
The garrison of Mikata County is small, but it connects Tanba and Tango. In the past, there are Tajima, Inaba, Hoki, Harima, Mimasaku, Bizen, Bichung, Biko...
No less than ten countries.
"The main forces of the Tanba family are the Hatano clan, the Naito clan, and the Akai clan, and the guardian is Hatano Hidenaga!"
After the army entered Sangtian County, they took a short rest. Du Youcheng said: "We will follow the plan we made last night and divide our troops into two steps. We must capture Danbo Kingdom before noon today.
Finally, let’s meet at Kashiwahara Castle in Minamia County!”
The army was divided into two, with Du Youcheng and Yuchi dominating one group.
Gongsun Minze and Chai Rong teamed up.
At this time, it was not yet bright, and many people were still sleeping. The sudden explosion woke up Sangtian County.
They were crushed and killed all the way, and the fire filled the air.
The power displayed by the white phosphorus grenade is frightening.
Especially in the Japanese island country, most of them are wooden houses and thatched houses, which are easy to catch and difficult to extinguish.
The cavalry charged several times and directly defeated the defenders of Sangtian County. The horses were plundered and the general who defended the city was beheaded.
After staying for only half an hour, the army headed towards Funai County.
Here, Shibaei encountered a 10,000-strong army led by Hatano Hidenaga, the guardian of Tanba Kingdom, and Hojo Taito, the guardian of Tango Kingdom.
A brutal battle broke out between the two sides.
With the help of mountain artillery and white phosphorus grenades, the 10,000-strong army was directly routed.
"Quick, be sure to capture the opponent's guardian!"
Chai Rong knew very well that these protections were of great use.
Hatano Hidenaga scolded angrily: "I have already said that we should not go by land. How about a sneak attack by water?"
Hojo Taitoki rode his horse and kept running, "Stop talking nonsense and run away!"
They are fast, can they be faster than cannonballs?
Within range.
They are all ants!
An hour later, the battle ended.
Funai County became a meat grinder and blood flowed into a river.
Of the 10,000 troops from the two sub-states who came to support, less than 3,000 were left.
Hojo Taitoki and Hatano Hidenaga were captured. In order to survive, they had to join the Okan army and led the remaining three thousand troops as the vanguard.
When the sun came up, Tamba Kingdom fell, and the people from the fleet came to clean up and finish.
A large number of young and strong young men and women were taken away.
In Tamba Country, which has only about 70,000 people, only the elderly and old women are left.
Zheng Fengnian smiled. These goods would eventually be used to fill the corvee.
These women are valuable, and buying them for ten taels of silver each should not be too much.
Although it's tiring, it's all worth it.
As for the gold and silver treasures discovered, Qin Mo had already made rules and allowed them to take away 15% of them.
Just this half is enough for them to eat a lot.
"Hurry up, take them all away and load them onto the ship as quickly as possible!"
...
At this time, inside Shansuo City.
Seng Min and Gao Xiangxuanli came here with their army, and were received by Sanada Fuji, the Lord of the Shansho Castle.
"Daqian's army pretended to attack for a while and then retreated?"
Sengmin frowned, "Then have you contacted Gaodao County?"
"His Majesty the Emperor, asked Yoshikotsuki to come with the Dakan Honglukan proton. Are they in Shansho Castle? Why don't you see them coming?" Gao Xiangxuanli asked.
Sanada Fuji smiled bitterly, "I sent someone to Takashima County to get information, but they haven't received a reply yet. I'm afraid something has happened.
The greeters from Yoshi and Otsuki didn’t come, and I didn’t see them either!”
Gao Xiangxuanli and Sengmin looked at each other, "Oh no, something happened!"
Sanada Fuji asked: "You two, what happened?"
Monk Min said in a deep voice: "Last night at Yinshi, Yoshikotsuki held the emperor's order, captured the people of Dakan Honglukan and left Namba Kyoto. Logically speaking, they should have arrived long ago."
"Could it be that we encountered a large army on the road?" Sanada Fuji frowned.
"Impossible, they have the Daqian Honglu Hall proton in their hands. Even if they encounter it, someone will return and ask for help.
It is impossible to be completely wiped out, so if I guess correctly, Yoshikotsuki has rebelled!"
Gao Xiangxuanli looked very unhappy, and he analyzed: "The deputy envoy of Daqian Honglu Palace, Gao Biao, has a very good relationship with Yoshikotsuki, and this person is extremely charming.
The fire in Kyoto last night was not extinguished until we left the city, but intensified.
That fire is strange. Looking at it now, I'm afraid it was set off by Yoshikotsuki under cover."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Shansuo City looked at each other.
"Quickly, send someone to Kyoto to deliver the message!" Gao Xiangxuanli said quickly.
After the condemner went to deliver the letter, Sanada Fuji said: "Then what should we do now?"
"Wait, your Majesty has ordered Kinai Road to withdraw all its troops. Ise and Iga will also send troops to Omi to guard Omi and prevent Daqian's army from advancing further!" Sengmin said helplessly.
...
On the other side, in Namba Kyo, the fire has not been completely extinguished.
According to incomplete statistics, no less than 6,000 people were killed in this fire.
No fewer than 1,500 houses were burned down.
Namba Kyoto is filled with smoke and dust, and people are panicking.
The entire Namba Palace was covered with a layer of soot.
The heavy blow the Dagan people gave to the Japanese island nation was too painful.
In the court hall, the officials quarreled all morning.
