- Nishijima Takae died, and Asahi Toshihide knew that his fate was about to be judged.
No, it is not your own destiny, but Japan¡¯s destiny. Everything will end on this day. In fact, Toshihide Asahi did not know at this time that a greater disaster was approaching Japan
This is the disaster that the Date family brought to Japan.
Idarigi is undoubtedly a smart man. After he witnessed the astonishing fighting power of the Tiger Guards with his own eyes, he knew what kind of decision he should make.
He mobilized and armed all like-minded people with only one purpose:
He controlled the general's house before the Ming Army and won the greater interests for himself. The general is undoubtedly the best bargaining chip.
Artillery fire and gunshots continued to ring out in the city of Kyoto, which seemed to be urging the Date family to act as soon as possible.
Time has become their most precious thing
?¡
"Report, there are about hundreds of Japanese pirates who are holding on for dear life."
After hearing the report, Ah Hu frowned and hurried there. When I saw it, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
???????????????????????????????? Just a few rows of low houses. There were dozens of Japanese pirates standing on the roof, shooting arrows outwards. But to be honest, the terrain of these rows of houses is not very favorable to the attackers, and the Ming army here currently lacks artillery.
Ah Hu now somewhat appreciates the power of artillery, although before he always believed that it relied on the bravery of the soldiers. Victory can be achieved without relying on firearms at all.
When attacking Kyoto, the power of the artillery was surprising. The siege battle that originally required countless lives to be won ended up being won in a relatively easy way.
If you have a few doors now. No, even if there is one artillery, it will not be easy to capture this place.
Li Dingguo is not far away. It¡¯s okay to ask for his help now, but Ahu obviously doesn¡¯t want to ask Li Dingguo for help. He must win this place on his own!
He carefully observed the situation around him. He called his subordinates to his side: "Did you see that there are a lot of fire starters around the house? Let all the brothers get on the rockets. I am going to burn the boar today!"
The subordinates hesitated: "Command. The weather is dry in June. Once a fire breaks out here, it will quickly trigger a series of reactions, and it may be difficult to extinguish it."
"That's none of my business!" Ah Hu glared: "Even if the entire Kyoto is burned down, it's none of your business!"
Ah Hu never thinks about things that are too complicated. For him, as long as he wins, it doesn't matter what price the enemy pays.
The soldiers¡¯ arrows were set on fire, and then dense rockets were fired towards the rows of houses.
The fire started in an instant.
There were piles of igniting objects around. Once the rockets were fired, the fire would rise into the sky. Just as Ahu's subordinates said, once a fire breaks out in the dry weather in June, it is impossible to control it.
The fire burst into flames. Those Japanese pirates are in danger.
But now even the escape route is blocked
The Japanese pirates wanted to rush out of the house in panic, but as soon as they stepped out, bursts of arrows were shot out in dense numbers.
A row of Japanese pirates fell under the blow of dense arrow rain, and the rest hurriedly ran back, but they also met a dead end in the house.
After a while, miserable screams came from those rows of houses A Japanese pirate who was on fire stumbled out of the house. His biggest wish now was to be shot to death with an arrow.
A Ming army soldier raised his bow and arrow, but was stopped by A Hu.
Ah Hu found that he had become a little cruel, and he was willing to just watch his enemies being burned alive. Or this is the greatest enjoyment for him. Or Ding Yunyi once said to him. There is no need to show any mercy to these Japanese pirates.
He believed what his brother-in-law said, and he had never doubted it since he first met him when he was a child!
A raging fire was burning there, and mournful cries were heard one after another. Whether it was inside or outside, it was a dead end for the Japanese pirates hiding in the house.
At this time something unexpected happened: the wind direction suddenly changed.
The fire quickly began to spread to the surroundings, and the speed of spread was so fast that Ahu felt a little frightened when he saw it. Neighboring houses also started catching fire at the same time.
"Command, the fire is getting bigger."
"Command, the fire is out of control!"
The hurried urgings made Ahu feel helpless: "Evacuate, retreat, let all the brothers evacuate quickly! Damn it, I'm afraid we're going to get into big trouble this time."
The terrible fire is quickly devouring everything around it
?¡
"Master Hou, there seems to be a fire there." Jiang Qi pointed to the east.
Ding Yunyi took the telescope and looked there. Sure enough, a huge pillar of fire was rising into the sky, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and it might even spread here.
Fires in war were originally a normal thing, but this is not the case now. A large number of Ming troops and Japanese pirates were strangled together. Once the fire spread to where they were, it would become very difficult.
And more importantly, Ding Yunyi wants a relatively complete Kyoto. Ding Yunyi wanted more than just occupying Kyoto.
"Who is in charge over there?" Ding Yunyi asked angrily.
"It seems that Commander Ah Hu is in charge."
"Damn it, what the hell is Ah Hu doing to me!" Ding Yunyi couldn't help but cursed: "Now the fire is spreading here, order all soldiers to immediately evacuate the location where the fire is spreading. Also, the rest of the people should do something for me as soon as possible. Be ready to put out the fire!¡±
The Tiger Guard soldiers who were engaged in a fierce battle began to evacuate quickly, and the Japanese pirates who were already in danger got a chance to breathe. But before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a more terrible disaster had already occurred.
fire. This is a very terrible enemy in nature!
The Japanese pirates were dumbfounded as the fire surrounded them, and the Japanese in Kyoto were dumbfounded as the fire surrounded them.
Ding Yunyi. I was also dumbfounded as I watched the fire surround everything
The fire mercilessly engulfed everything in its path. There was only destruction and screams.
No one inside can come out, and no one outside dares to enter.
God seemed to be joking, as the wind kept changing, causing the fire to spread in all directions in Kyoto. This soon caused countless places in Kyoto to be devastated by fire.
Japanese houses with wooden structure have also indirectly become the "accomplices" of the fire, and now everything has become difficult to control.
"Ahu, you piece of shit!" When the whole story was figured out. Ding Yunyi cursed loudly: "You ruined my good deeds. What I want is not a Kyoto that was burned to rubble. What I want is a relatively complete Kyoto!"
Ah Hu, who got into trouble, lowered his head. However, he was still a little unconvinced in his heart. It would be easy to burn this place down. Why bother with so much brainpower?
"Master Hou, this is what happened. I'm afraid this is what God has already determined." Li Dingguo cautiously persuaded Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi glared at Ah Hu fiercely: "I will settle this matter with you after I capture Kyoto!"
Suddenly he was stunned, blinked, and called the generals such as Li Dingguo and Duan Saner to his side: "Tell me, how did this fire start?"
Duan San'er's mind couldn't change his mind, so he opened his mouth and said: "It's not Xiao Ahu's fault."
Ding Yunyi smiled slightly, turned to Li Dingguo and asked: "Dingguo, how do you think this fire started?"
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment and soon understood what Wu Liehou meant: "Go back to the Marquis. Our Huben guardsmen entered the city in large numbers. Tokugawa Iemitsu jumped over the wall in a hurry and ordered the city to be set on fire in an attempt to perish with our army."
"Yes, that's the truth." Ding Yunyi smiled very happily: "Tokugawa Iemitsu is disgusting, and what's even more terrifying is that the emperor whom the Japanese worshiped actually acquiesced to this plan. I was extremely sad when I heard about it. The Ming Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and Hu Benwei is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. How can we not do our best to help him when he sees this?"
No matter how stupid Duan Saner is, he will understand it immediately.
Having a burned-down Kyoto would be of no benefit to the Tiger Guards. The most important thing is to let the Japanese waver in their once extremely firm belief and switch to the side of Huben Guards.
It is this idea that Wu Liehou is using now
Under Ding Yunyi's instruction, the nature of the war suddenly changedCries of "Tokugawa Iemitsu and the emperor set fire to the city in an attempt to perish with the enemy" were heard from everywhere in Kyoto The main force behind such calls was Taro Matsumoto and the Japanese people he led who served for the Ming army.
Surrounded by fire, the Japanese were helpless and crying sadly. When they heard such a cry, they could not tell whether the matter was true or false.
And many people are in panic,I also chose to believe.
People¡¯s ability to judge is weakest in times of crisis.
General, Your Majesty, in order to resist the Ming army, we have all made great sacrifices, but why do you want to burn down Kyoto, why do you want to burn down our home
For the common people, when war comes, they can share the same hatred, but the war will end sooner or later, and then they have to live their own lives.
But now that their home has been burned down, how can they live?
"Let the people of the Ming Dynasty surrender. They will not kill you. They will help you build your home again after the war." Not long after, such a saying came again in Kyoto.
Such temptation is undoubtedly huge, and people's hearts begin to float
At night, instead of being brought under control, the fire burned more and more fiercely. The Tiger Guards had completely evacuated from the fire area, and the sound of gunfire stopped.
But at this time, another scene began to appear. A large number of Japanese gave up the illusion of saving their families and fled the terrible fire area. And their purpose is actually the same:
The Ming army!
They began to believe that as long as they ran to the Ming army, they would have hope of survival.
In fact, not only these Japanese, but the Japanese samurai and ronin who have been fighting since the Battle of Kyoto also had their confidence seriously shaken.
Not only ordinary people, but also the military will be shaken when rumors spread.
The hearts of the samurai and ronin are sad. They fought bloody battles for His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty the Emperor actually wanted to burn Kyoto under the instigation of the Shogun!
Victory is no longer possible. If there is even a glimmer of possibility, they will continue to fight now, but now everything is completely desperate.
??Continue to stay here, the ending is only two words:
die!
The confidence of the samurai and ronin finally collapsed completely. Many of them threw away their weapons and joined the fleeing team.
They also have only one destination:
The Ming army!
Where there is hope of life, where there is no need to worry about the threat of death, where they can relax their hearts. war? The war is a matter for His Majesty the Emperor and the General, and has nothing to do with them anymore.
The sky at night became the same as during the day under the light of the fire. This fire was enough to burn down half of Kyoto. This fire was enough to destroy the Japanese people's will to resist.
From this point of view, Ah Hu, who got into trouble, made a great contribution without knowing it.
This is often the case in the world, and a decision made inadvertently can often have a very important impact.
Ding Yunyi was a little dumbfounded. He really didn¡¯t know whether he should punish Ah Hu or reward Ah Hu after the war. This impulsive brother-in-law actually put on such a good show for himself.
In the ranks of those who escaped, Chifeng Xuancheng was suddenly discovered.
Chifeng Xuancheng once participated in the Tianze raid. In that battle, although the Japanese failed, Chifeng Xuancheng's performance was still remarkable.
But his surrender was unexpected.
He was brought in front of Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi. Ding Yunyi looked at him and then asked: "Why did you choose to surrender?"
"There is no hope anymore, no hope at all." Chifeng Xuancheng smiled bitterly and said: "You can only die there, and it is impossible to save Japan. I still have a wife and children, and I don't want to lose myself just like that. life. When the war is over, I still want to live well with my wife and children."
¡°When the war is over, I still want to live a good life with my wife and children.
This may be what most Japanese people think. They have completely lost all hope and just want to live well after the war is over.
Ding Yunyi smiled slightly. He knew that the war was actually over by this time, and the Japanese people's determination to resist had been completely shattered.
The fire is still burning, Kyoto is really shining red by the fire, hope has been completely extinct for Japan! Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work - Didn't finish reading?
