Chapter 658 Victory

There is no way to organize effective resistance on the city wall now. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty rushed towards the city wall like tigers leaving the gate.

The city gate has now been opened, and countless soldiers from the Koumu Army are pouring out from inside. Anyone who put down their weapons will let them pass through, but anyone who has weapons in his hands but does not put them down will be attacked.

With the lessons from the people in front of them, the people behind them finally understood the meaning of the Ming soldiers, so as soon as they left the city gate, they threw down their weapons one after another.

"boom……!"

"boom……!"

Several explosions sounded again, and the entire earth seemed to tremble. The entire city wall couldn't help but shake for a while. Just now, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already exploded several other city gates.

However, not everyone was fleeing, and the soldiers were still standing on the city wall. Now they were shooting arrows at the fleeing soldiers below. Although they were still their own people not long ago, at this time, when the orders above came out, they were enemies.

Seeing this scene, the Ming Dynasty's artillery began to roar, and huge fireballs bloomed on the city wall. Suddenly, they took advantage of the attack and became weaker. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty began to rush to the city wall and placed explosives on the edge of the city.

Soon, a large amount of explosives had been accumulated at the foot of the front city wall. After waiting for the soldiers to retreat, under command, the artillery artillery began to aim at these places. Soon, under the earth and the mountains, the front city wall began to collapse and collapse in the loud explosion sound like an earthquake. The soldiers above were in great danger. Many people were buried in the ruins in the explosion. Although such an explosion could not completely blow up the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall were frightened and fled down one after another. At the same time, the collapse of the city wall stirred up dust in the sky, and prevented the soldiers from continuing to shoot at the fleeing soldiers. Moreover, the four city gates were smashed open at the same time. How could those soldiers who had long wanted to escape fail to seize the opportunity at this time and rushed out of the city gates. In a short time, it seemed like a game.

Then the city was in chaos and the Ming soldiers also began to attack.

One day, one night, the escape continued, and the battle continued, until the next day, the battle stopped. Hosokawa Katsumoto was basically defeated, and the entire capital was now in the hands of Jianglang.

Outside the city, there were corpses everywhere, including the corpses of Ming soldiers and the corpses of Komu Army. Many Komu Army soldiers were shot and killed by their former companions when they were fleeing. Of course, some of them were killed by the Ming soldiers after rushing out. However, at this time, who cares about what to do if they don’t kill them by accident.

As for the four city gates, all of them were basically blown up at this time. Sometimes the city walls still kept falling bricks, giving people a shaky feeling, as if they had experienced a major earthquake.

The situation in the city was even more terrible. Because it was attacked by the Ming artillery, many places in the city were still burning and fired. Some places had been put out, but there were still surrounds of blue smoke. The streets and alleys were full of corpses, and there were many soldiers who fled, but the number of soldiers left was also very large. The two sides fought fiercely in every corner of the city, with countless casualties. However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty now had the power of attack, and the remaining soldiers had already been hungry for confidence in resistance. In addition, these soldiers were hungry all night and had not had time to eat in the morning. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty ate well and slept well. Of course, there was no way to compare. So when the battle fought, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had suffered much fewer casualties than the soldiers.

As for the surrendered soldiers, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers. Thinking about the Qin general Bai Qi, who captured more than 300,000 Zhao's army, at that time, Jiang Lang's record is not as many as him, but more than 100,000 soldiers who voluntarily surrendered were enough to make many people talk about it for a while.

There were also many soldiers who were killed and injured in Komu, and it was estimated that there were no more than 10,000 soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty only suffered more than 10,000 casualties in this battle. After occupying the capital, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty immediately began to pursue Katsumoto Hosokawa under the leadership of the generals.

The entire battle was a little dramatic. Even when Yamai Shitotsu and Ashikaga Yoshimasato entered the capital again, they did not expect that the battle would end in this way. With a comparable strength, Jianglang broke up the 300,000 Hosokawa Katsumoto's troops with only more than 10,000 casualties and successfully occupied the capital. Moreover, the originally arrogant Hosokawa Katsumoto was beaten to flee at this time.

The most important point is that behind Hosokawa Katsumoto, there is no longer a peaceful situation, but wars are everywhere, uprisings and turmoil. Many places have formed alliances, but some places are still fighting each other.

Of course, the number of people in these teams is relatively small, with more than 10,000 people, and only a few thousand people. Although Hosokawa Katsumoto was defeated, the number of people was still more than 100,000. More than 100,000 are absolute troops for these small places. In order to seize supplies, Hosokawa Katsumoto began to plunder in his own territory, and at the same time he forced the enlistment of strong men to the army. The original name of the prestigious Daemon is now undoubtedly like a bandit in the eyes of the people.

When the soldiers were chasing Katsumoto Hosokawa, Erosom did not pursue him. After taking Ashikaga Yoshimasato and others into the city, Erosom suggested whether to go to Ashikaga Yoshimasato's house to check it out.

Of course, Yoshimasashi Ashikaga did not object and brought Jiang Lang and others to his residence. The originally magnificent residence is now as quiet as a ghost realm. There are still arrows inserted on the vermilion gate, and there are still many traces of knife cutting.

After opening the door, it turned out that there was no one in the mansion that was crowded with people. Although it had been abandoned for a while, the ground was now covered with dust. You can still see the frozen blood, the broken weapons, etc. on the ground.

It is worthy of being the shogun's mansion. It looks very wide, with pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water, but now the mansion is empty.

After walking along the road in the mansion for a while, except for the traces of battle everywhere, I saw no one, and even no corpses. It can be seen that Hosokawa Katsumoto also moved away all the corpses while sweeping the place.

"It seems that there should be no survivors!"

Jiang Lang sighed slightly. After Hosokawa Katsumoto was also cruel and ruthless, of course, it was impossible for him to leave any survivors behind!

Ashikaga Yoshimasa's fat face is now full of anger, and he is tightly pinching his fist, as if he wants to eat people. It is normal to think about it. There is a saying that the king is so lucky, but after all, he is his family. If all of them are killed, it would be abnormal. Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshimasa has no scheming, and all these joys, angers, sorrows and happiness are reflected on his face.

"I'm going to kill Katsumoto Hosokawa!"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa said gritting his teeth, although this is not the first time he said this.

Eroru reached out and patted Ashikaga Yoshimasa on the shoulder and said, "Your Excellency, please be happy and angry. Hosokawa Katsumoto deserves to be killed, but there is more important thing to do now, that is, restore this place! All the people here are your relatives!"

Jiang Lang did not use the word "school people", but his relatives. In one aspect, it also reminded Ashikaga Yoshima that you are just a local prince under the Ming Dynasty. Now the world is no longer named Ashikaga, but Zhu!

"Your Excellency General said it well!"

Yama Nakaki Tsubaki hurriedly associated with it. Jianglang has seen a lot of experience during this period. As a friend, it may be more reliable, but as an enemy, it is a very terrifying existence. You don’t know when he will use any moves, but every time it is hard to defend against, and directly attacks your weaknesses, just like Katsumoto Hosokawa, a 300,000 army was beaten to pieces, and there was still a mess behind it, and this side only lost more than 10,000 people.

Hearing this reminder from Yamana Shitotsu, Ashikaga Yoshimasa nodded quickly and said, "Yes, then General Wang, what should we do first now?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Then go back first!"

Everyone then returned to the place where Ashikaga Yoshimasaki was originally discussing and discussing matters, but now Ashikaga Yoshimasaki has replaced Ashikaga Yoshimasaki and sat at the top. Looking at the people below looking at him with fear and fear, Ashikaga suddenly realized why many people like to be emperors. What they like is the feeling of being arrogant.

However, this doesn't feel very good.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Lang said: "Next, we have to do three things. First, we will gather those surrendered soldiers, restore various facilities in the city, repair the damaged parts, and at the same time, appease the people. Second, we will issue new policies and guidelines to count the surrounding land, so the land will be nationalized, and then distributed to every citizen according to the number of people. Those who own a large amount of land, those who are willing to hand over the land will be pardoned without guilt, and those who are unwilling to hand over will be killed without warning! Third, while pursuing the remaining soldiers of Hosokawa Katsumoto, we will ask those local armed forces to surrender immediately and unconditionally, and those who refuse to surrender will be killed! Those who put down their weapons will not pursue their past and treat them as ordinary people!"
