    A soldier replied: "Sir, Lord Takeda and the others haven't come up yet? Just wait for them."

    Yamamoto Hideaki was furious and said: "What are you waiting for? Do you want all the people in our boat to accompany him here to wait for death? Listen to my order and set sail immediately, you know? Set sail immediately. Otherwise  , I will kill you first.¡±

    The other soldiers did not dare to argue with Yamamoto Hideo anymore, so they had to cut the cable, row the oar, and sail away from the shore.

    After Takeda Tsubasa and Yamamoto Hideo divided their forces, they led their troops to kill the Tiger Guards.  As soon as Huben Guard saw an enemy charging towards him, he immediately stood up in a three-stage firing formation and fired at the Japanese army.

    This road is not very wide, and only about twenty people can stand side by side.  The soldiers of the Huben Guards have obviously been trained in street fighting. The soldiers responsible for shooting are divided into two rows. The soldiers in the front row squat on the ground and the soldiers in the back row stand to form superimposed shooting. Instead, they use the method of changing guns without changing people.  The method was to fire in turns, and in a narrow environment, the Japanese army also could not deploy their troops, so they could only rush forward in teams one by one. As a result, they all died tragically under the gunfire of the Tiger Guards.

    After several rounds of attacks, the Japanese army finally found that their death was completely in vain, and they could not hurt a single hair of the enemy. Under this ruthless fact, their psychology quickly collapsed.  So they all turned around and ran for their lives.

    And Takeda Tsubasa also received a notification from Yamamoto Hideaki, saying that Isuke had captured the ship and asked him to rush to join them as soon as possible. Therefore, Li Ding had no intention of fighting anymore and had to escape with the defeated soldiers.

    Fortunately, at this time, the blood path opened by Yamamoto Hideo's group has not yet completely closed.  In addition, Takeda Tsubasa led the men and horses to rush forward, and it didn't take much effort.  He rushed to the edge of the pier.

    But it was precisely at this moment that Yamamoto Hideo ordered someone to cut the cable.  Sailed away from the shore.  Takeda Tsubasa and others could only stand on the shore, watching helplessly as Yamamoto Hideo's figure standing on the stern gradually became smaller and smaller!

    Sapporo fell into the hands of the Tiger Guards, and there were no longer any obstacles on the way forward for the Eastern Route Army

    ?¡­

    On May 30th, the 13th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the last team Ding Yunyi was waiting for, the Eastern Route Army, arrived at the gates of Kyoto.

    The three-pronged army to conquer Japan has completed its rendezvous!

    Ding Yunyi knew that the time had come to seize Kyoto!

    Now, no force can stop his advance.  No force can stop him from fulfilling his ambition:

    Defeat Japan and conquer Japan!

    This most glorious battle has arrived!

    On the first day of June in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, after a long wait, the general attack on Kyoto finally broke out!

    This is an all-out battle.  This is also a battle that must be won. This is very clear to every soldier of the Tiger Guard.

    All the artillery has been set up, and now there is no need to hide any strength

    The Japanese in Kyoto City watched all this numbly, and they were able to accept whatever happened now.  In fact, every one of them knows that the loss of Kyoto City will be a matter of time.

    Shenwei Cannon, Hongyi Cannon, Tiger Crouching Cannon, etc., etc., the Tiger Guards used all the wealth they brought to Japan for this general attack.

    When Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi appeared, the Ming army once again burst into cheers like a tide.

    This is the supreme god in the hearts of all Huben Guard soldiers, and this is the source of all spiritual energy for all Huben Guard soldiers.  As long as he stood on the battlefield, the soldiers of Huben Guard found great confidence in victory.

    Marquis Wu Lie¡ª¡ªDing Yunyi!

    Ding Yunyi's eyes also swept over his subordinates one by one and on their faces.  He saw confidence, determination, perseverance, and unparalleled confidence.

    Ding Yunyi slowly pulled out his dragon tooth, then pointed forward¡ª¡ª

    On the first day of June in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Huben Guards attacked Kyoto!

    On this day, the cannons roared; on this day, the cheers of the soldiers rang out everywhere on the battlefield

    The cannonballs fell endlessly on the city walls of Kyoto, one by one, and the entire Kyoto was crumbling under this violent storm of attacks.

    Cannons roared and gravel flew.

    The Japanese pirates completely lost any ability to fight back.  They could only watch as Kyoto suffered terrible destruction, and they could only watch as Kyoto was damaged bit by bit under the baptism of heavy rain.

    In the minds of the Japanese people before, Kyoto was difficult to destroy.  Kyoto was an iron wall that could never be breached, but they soon knew they were wrong.

    &nbsp"In the face of the indestructible artillery fire of the Tiger Guards, Kyoto is nothing more than paper."

    This is no longer a contest of an era

    Ding Yunyi stood upright on the battlefield, watching his cannon destroying everything in front of him, watching his artillery fire that was ahead of his time crushing all the resistance in front of him.

    A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again

    In Kyoto, Toshihide Asahi also knew that it was impossible to stop the enemy from breaking through the city. The only thing he could do now was to try his best to block the enemy from entering Kyoto, but even this he could not do.

    The only thing he can do is to watch all this happen in front of him

    The overwhelming shells tore a big gap in the north gate of Kyoto City, and this is what the artillerymen of the Huben Guards like to do the most:

    Concentrate all artillery fire and blast a fixed target!  Once a breakthrough is achieved, continue to mobilize all possible artillery fire to increase the breakthrough!

    They did it before in Sapporo, and they just did it again in Kyoto

    The gap is being torn open bit by bit, and everyone can see it very clearly. It won¡¯t be long before this gap becomes the main battlefield where the torrent of water enters.

    The musketeers are ready, the infantry are ready, the cavalry are ready

    The shells continue to fall endlessly towards this gap

    finally.  A loud "boom" sound reached everyone's ears.  Under such a terrible bombardment, the wall of Kyoto City was torn open with a huge gap that was dozens of steps long

    Asahi Junxiu closed his eyes in despair He knew what was going to happen next

    The sound of gunfire.  It stopped immediately.  Officers at all levels of the Huben Guards on the battlefield slowly drew out their swords.  Several people turned their heads unconsciously.  Behind them flew a huge battle flag:

    The brave and loyal tiger guards!

    That is an invincible flag!

    Ding Yunyi held the dragon tooth tightly in his hand. He adjusted his breathing, and then slowly raised the dragon tooth. After he paused, two words burst out from his mouth:

    Attack!

    Attack!  attack!  !  attack!  !  !

    On the first day of June in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the city of Kyoto was destroyed.  The Huben Guards entered the city in large numbers!

    This is a day that will definitely happen. This is also an expected day. Everyone has already made such preparations, except for one person:

    Tokugawa Iemitsu!

    When the city of Kyoto fell.  After the news of Huben Guards' large-scale invasion of the city reached his ears, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't believe it at all. He sat there in a daze, and it took a long time before he asked:

    "Is it really broken?"

    "Really, the enemy has begun to enter the city, and Lord Chaobi is trying his best to organize resistance. Lord Chaobi asks the general to prepare quickly to defend the palace and your majesty!"

    "Be prepared? Defend the palace? Defend His Majesty?" Tokugawa Iemitsu muttered these words in despair, and then suddenly roared furiously: "How to defend? How else can we defend?"

    Yes, how can we protect it now?  The city of Kyoto has been destroyed.  Where else could they escape?

    All the power has been put on the front, and there are only 800 samurai around Tokugawa Iemitsu.  It is simply a fantasy to rely on these 800 warriors to resist the Ming army.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu seems to have seen the soldiers of the Tiger Guard rushing in front of him

    A large number of Ming troops have entered Kyoto. The only thing Asahi Shunshu can do is to lead the samurai who are willing to fight to the end to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible, so as to buy as much time as possible for the shogun.

    Groups of samurai ronin were sent forward by him, almost suicidal.

    But what greeted them was horrific killings.

    Those musketeers were really terrifying. The muskets in their hands made a terrible roar. In the face of their concentrated shooting, any form of resistance was meaningless.

    The corpses were gathered there in layers.  The smell of blood in the air makes people feel nauseous.

    This is not a war at all, this is just a naked massacre No one knows when this massacre will end, whether it is the Japanese or the soldiers of the Tiger Guard.

    Now the only thing they can do is to keep killing or being killed There is no second option for any of them.

    And when Kyoto turned into a killing battlefield, Idarigi knew that heIt¡¯s time to act¡­

    His son Ida Benzong, his retainers, and like-minded people gathered at Ida Regis home.  Each one of them knew what they had to do and that this was the moment that determined their fate.

    "The people of the Ming Dynasty have already entered the city." Idarigi said slowly: "Now the survival of Japan is in the hands of people like us."

    There was silence, and everyone was waiting for his next words.

    Idarigi glanced at them: "Now, the only obstacle to saving Japan is only one person, and that is the General. It was he who brought Japan to its current situation, and it was he who dragged Japan into the abyss of imminent destruction.  . Only the general can end all this disaster. I know that if I lead you to do this today, I will definitely become a sinner of Japan, but I must do it for the future of Japan. "

    "Father, just say what you want to say." Ida Benzong said loudly.

    Idarigi nodded to his son: "Gentlemen, please pick up your weapons and follow me to the General. Japan should not continue to bleed like this."

    No one spoke, but everyone stood up

    ?¡­

    "Nishijima-kun, what are you waiting for!" Asahi Shunxiu shouted: "The time has come to show your bravery!"

    "Hai!" Nishijima Takae shouted loudly, and then raised his katana high: "Japanese warriors, for His Majesty the Emperor!"

    "For His Majesty the Emperor!" Those warriors who were still prepared to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor roared and rushed forward after Nishijima Takae.

    They were still faced with the terrifying muskets.

    The muskets rang out, and one layer of Japanese fell down, but then another layer continued to rush forward, stepping on the bodies of their companions.

    They finally rushed in front of the musketeers at the cost of their lives, but soon, a large number of spearmen, sword and shield soldiers appeared, and the musketeers surprisingly equipped their bayonets.

    The Japanese always believe that as long as they rush in front of them, the enemy's musket advantage will be gone.  But they were wrong.

    The musketeers of the Huben Guards were not the musketeers they imagined at all.

    This was an unequal fight. The Japanese charge was littered with corpses. When they rushed up, there were less than half of them.

    And then they were ruthlessly massacred by the Ming army, which was far more numerous than them.

    Thousands of Japanese pirates died. The ground was full of corpses and blood.  For these Japanese pirates, any resistance they have is feeble.

    Nishida Gaojiang is among these people.

    At this time, he was completely desperate, but he was not willing to give up, because he knew that behind him was the imperial palace, where His Majesty the Emperor was.

    You can¡¯t take a step back, absolutely not!

    His body suddenly seemed to have been hit hard, causing him to stagger forward, but he managed to steady his steps. He knew that he had been injured.

    ¡°For His Majesty the Emperor!¡± Nishijima Takae was still shouting there.

    But he suddenly discovered to his horror that he was the only Japanese left on the battlefield.  His companions had all turned into corpses.

    His body was bleeding, but what was even more terrifying was his mental despair.

    At this point, what other choices can he make?  No more, no more.

    The Tiger Ben Guard soldier holding a bayonet slowly walked up. Nishijima Takae closed his eyes. In an instant, he opened his eyes again, raised his samurai sword high, and roared at the Tiger Ben Guard.  The soldiers rushed forward.

    Countless bayonets were thrust into his body, and Nishijima Takae stood there unable to move anymore.

    It¡¯s over, everything is over here, Nishida Gaojiang sighed deeply in his heart, is there anything more sad than this?

    ¡°I died but failed to save Japan. My death was not worth it at all.  Lord Asahi, Lord Shogun, His Majesty the Emperor, I can no longer help you.

    His body fell softly, and then countless pairs of feet trampled on his body mercilessly!  Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
