Just when all the Japanese thought they were going to die outside the temple, either by the Ming army or by the Owari clan soldiers, the Ming army cavalry suddenly shouted in Japanese to put down their weapons and stop killing.
After the initial shock, Akito's Japanese shouts became louder and louder.
Although their accents were extremely stiff, they could still be understood.
Moreover, there were no weapons and unarmed vassal soldiers.
The Akito soldiers no longer killed, so there were only a few The samurai ashigaru discarded the tachi ribai, and there was no point in resisting.
Even the sword is useless against the full armor of the Ming army.
It can hardly break through the armor.
After all, it is sharp enough but not heavy enough.
Even if it breaks through the armor, it cannot penetrate deeply and can only hurt the enemy.
At this time, the remaining feudal soldiers dejectedly gave up all resistance, and the remaining fate was decided by Akito.
However, there were still some Japanese vassal soldiers under the temple walls who refused to surrender.
After all, they imagined that if Lord Tokugawa inside was merciful and allowed them to enter the temple, they would escape and ascend to heaven.
Furthermore, under the courtyard wall, they were already protected by the foot bows of the Owari Domain, which was also the reason for their stubborn resistance.
Most of these thousands of ashigaru were empty-handed, and a small number of them held short spears.
This was the only weapon left in their hands.
They made it clear that they did not want to surrender.
Wang Haizhou smiled sarcastically when he saw such desperate vassal soldiers, and he immediately ordered an attack.
Before leaving, he firmly remembered what Mr.
Zhao said.
The Japanese have always feared power rather than virtue.
To put it bluntly, they are cheap people.
They can only be conquered by completely defeating them with iron and fire.
Therefore, it was clear that he could capture more Japanese vassal soldiers alive, but Wang Haizhou did not do that.
Instead, he killed them first and then cleaned up the remnants.
But there are still some blind attempts to get through.
Wang Haizhou was furious.
His Majesty was right.
The Japanese could not be conquered unless they were killed.
More than a thousand soldiers urged their horses forward and stopped a hundred steps away from the courtyard wall.
They took out the muskets from the saddle bridge, and then began to load and projectile at the general's order.
It is better to use Tongzhitong.
More than a thousand vassal soldiers and thousands of vassal soldiers on the courtyard wall looked at the Ming army as if they were fools.
What's the situation?
The maximum range of the iron cannon is 80 steps, and the average range is 60 or 70 steps.
These Ming troops are going to open fire even a hundred steps away.
Is this crazy?
Could it be that they were afraid of the feudal soldiers' sixty-step bows and did not dare to move forward?
In short, the Ming army seemed to have made a stupid mistake.
Some Japanese warriors even sneered, causing the feudal soldiers around them to burst into laughter, which was very harsh in today's bloody and heavy battle formation.
Tiger.
Mr.
Qian shouted, all the soldiers raised their blazing guns, and then the horns sounded.
Bang bang bang, the firecrackers roared one after another, and the large smoke obscured Mingren's firecrackers.
Akito's horses did not jump in surprise.
They were all accustomed to the sound of firecrackers and artillery after training.

The projectiles arrived in an instant with a whistling sound, and howls sounded one after another.
A large number of Japanese vassal soldiers were beaten and bloody, and they fell to the ground in various postures.
All the feudal soldiers were stunned.
It turned out that Akito's fire gun could hit a hundred steps, which they never expected.
After just one bombardment, more than half of the vassal soldiers fell to death under the wall.
The others watched blankly as Akito quickly loaded the firecrackers.
I don't know who shouted, and the Japanese feudal soldiers who were still alive roared and ran towards Akito who was a hundred steps away.
They were waving all kinds of short weapons.
They didn't want anything else, they just wanted to fight Akito.
Even if he kills an Akito, it's better than being tortured to death like this.
After they ran twenty steps.
After the second blow came, after the bang banged, many people were hit and flung out, and various crying numbers rang inside and outside the temple.
The remaining more than a hundred Japanese vassal soldiers continued to rush towards Akito madly.
Yes, they have gone crazy, death is everywhere, early death and early happiness.
When they were within thirty steps, bang bang bang, the firecrackers sounded for the third time.
After the smoke passed, only a few injured limbs were still standing on the ground shouting, while all the other Japanese fell to the ground and died, or rolled and writhed on the ground.
Some Ming Dynasty cavalrymen drew short muskets and fired at the few Japanese feudal soldiers who were still alive.
At this point, all the feudal soldiers fell dead more than seventy paces in front of the courtyard wall.
Thousands of corpses covered the black and yellow ground.
Blood enriches the monotonous colors of the winter earth.
So the two-faced Japanese watched everything in front of them speechlessly, shocked by Akito's force, ruthlessness, and cruelty.
Only the Ming army general's order for the soldiers to put away their fire cannons and form a team echoed.
All the Ming people's soldiers put away their fire cannons and began to retreat, as easy as target shooting, without the exhaustion and weight of wiping out more than a thousand people.
What he saw in front of him sent shivers down Masayuki Kuroda's spine.
From here, it can be seen that these Ming soldiers were clearly fierce soldiers who crossed the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, because they were unmoved by killing people and howling for blood, just like killing dogs.
Generally it doesn't matter.
From here Kuroda Masayuki knew that they would not complain if they were defeated.
Even if they fought in an upright battle, Akito would still defeat them after paying casualties.
When Tokugawa Yoshitsune heard Xiao's report and went to the courtyard wall, he saw corpses strewn all over the field outside.
What he saw was the Japanese Ashigaru who died within a hundred steps.
He heard Kuroda Masayuki's report.
At this point, Tokugawa Yoshinao already knew that something big was going to happen, and now he was thinking about how to escape, and not to be at the mercy of others like the thousands of ashigaru lying there.
The Japanese vassal soldiers who had now surrendered were beginning to clean up the battlefield under Mingto's orders.
They had to peel off their iron utensils and gather their iron armor together.
In addition, they also had to gather their gold and silver together.
The most disgusting and uncomfortable thing was that they had to cut off the heads of the dead vassal soldiers and finally display them outside the capital.
If someone doesn't want to do it or is procrastinating, the Ming soldiers supervising the work will step forward and chop him to death immediately, and then the person's head will also be chopped off.
After the Ming soldiers cut off the heads of several people, all the Japanese The vassal soldiers were chopping off the heads on the corpses of other Japanese people, not asking for anything else but to live for themselves.
Tokugawa Yoshinao looked at the brutal and violent scene in front of him, feeling both resentful and frightened in his heart.
These Ming soldiers were simply inhuman, and they would kill the Japanese without mercy.
Kuroda Masayuki was horrified by what he saw.
He ordered all the vassal soldiers to be on alert.
At the same time, he checked the armor to see how many arrows, spears, iron cannons, etc. were left.
If a war started, he, as the general, had countless thoughts, so what?
What to fight.

But the words of a general at the service made him surprised to discover a problem.
As for the rice grain, they had abandoned all the baggage during the march.
If they had taken the rice grain with them at that time, they would be the same as the vassal soldiers who had their heads chopped off outside. end.
But there must be rice and grain in the temple here.
Otherwise, how can the feudal soldiers persist?
Kuroda Masayuki immediately sent someone to total the rice and grain luggage, including the granary in the temple.
The results of the cleanup disappointed Kuroda Masayuki.
There were only about forty kilograms of brown rice in the temple.
With this amount, there were more than 7,000 people and war horses.
Even if they lived frugally, they could not survive for four or five days.
And there is a big problem here.
There is only one well here, which is not enough for these more than 7,000 people.
Kuroda Masayuki's head was as big as a bucket at this time.
If he had no food, he would kill a horse to satisfy his hunger, but he couldn't survive without water.
This problem made Tokugawa Yoshinao and Kuroda Masayuki decide to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible.
Without water and rice, the only way to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible was the best option.
But what they saw next made them feel as if they were falling into an ice cave.
The captured vassal soldiers were forced by the Ming army's swords and guns and began to dig deep trenches around the temple.
This was a deadly existence.
You know, if nearly a thousand cavalry troops cover Tokugawa Yoshinao and break out at night, the possibility of success is still very high.
Of course, the other Ashigaru troops had to give up.
Under the siege of thousands of Ming Army cavalry, it was impossible for the troops to break through.
But it is impossible to break through during the day.
The Ming army's war horses are three times faster than the Japanese war horses.
They have long bodies, long legs, and well-developed muscles.
At first glance, they are extremely fast.
The Kahi horses they were riding on were no match for Akito's horses.
No matter how they ran during the day, if night came, it would still be possible to use the darkness of night to branch out into several routes to cover Tokugawa Yoshinao's escape.
However, regardless of fatigue, the Ming army immediately began to dig trenches to trap the temple.
How to do this?
They did not dare to leave during the day.
At night, could they still leave?
Their horses were not as fast as they could, so they had to suddenly rush out of this road and have a deep trench.
If the trenches were filled and the Ming army was prepared for an attack, everything would be over.
Can't we stand out now?
"Lord, don't worry.
It's already evening now.
They can't dig a trench that's too deep or too wide.
They can cross the trench by cutting down the big trees in the temple."
Kuroda Shinichi pointed to the more than a hundred pine trees in the temple, and Tokugawa Yoshihiro nodded.
Yes, that is a breakout at night.
Outside, Wang Haizhou ordered two-thirds of the Japanese prisoners to dig trenches.
Four thousand general cavalry units were on guard, and one thousand general combat troops returned to clean the battlefield.
As for Kuroda Masayuki's disregard for fatigue, the Polu army really didn't have too much fatigue this time.
It was a quick and swift pursuit.

Now Wang Haizhou has received reports that there are only more than a hundred casualties and only twenty people killed.
Even The number of horsemen injured when they were blocked by debris and fell was more than the number of casualties in battle.
If they were to face a head-on confrontation with more than 20,000 Japanese Ashgaru, although Wang Haizhou had no doubt that they could win, the casualties would probably be huge.
After all, if the Japanese's formation was not destroyed, then the Polu army would have to pay the price.
At night, he received a rough summary.
Twenty-two of the Polu troops were killed, 29 horses were broken, and 136 were injured.
More than 8,000 Japanese vassal soldiers were killed and more than 8,000 captured.
The soldiers and armor were not counted.
It was really hard to calculate for the time being.
We had to wait for two days, but the gold and silver were counted.
Five hundred and twelve gold coins, more than four thousand silver coins, and seven hundred copper coins.
This is a huge victory, a victory with minimal losses and great gains.
Wang Haizhou discovered that he had accidentally become a massacre of thousands of Japanese pirates.
Wouldn't he be like Master Qi?
