Chapter 1512: The Red Flag is fluttering, and the sword is out of its sheath


"The red flag is fluttering, and the military horn is sounding."

"The sword is unsheathed, thunder and lightning flash."

"It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins, forward, forward" Emperor Huangji believed that after the main force of the Great East Expedition was transferred back to the Central Plains, it would be impossible for Prince Dahua to launch an attack on Yamato in a short period of time.

The Dahua Prince, who only has 20,000 horses left, does not have this ability.

But in fact, it was the Spring Festival of the third year of revival.

Such a Japanese people also began to celebrate the Spring Festival, but the prince of Dahua did not give the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition a holiday.

The crown prince Zhang Jing awarded the soldiers a reward for their achievements in the Eastern Expedition, and a New Year reward, and then asked to launch the Spring Festival offensive.

Zhang Jing gave Emperor Huangji an ultimatum to surrender.

Emperor Bao Empress said with disdain that the main force of the Great East Expedition was transferred back, and they even split the North Sea Fleet into four fleets, and now there is only one Korean fleet left in the Yamato Strait, and there are only 20,000 Chinese troops in Karatsu.

The invaders were outnumbered and weakened, and it was impossible for them to act.

No matter how rampant Dahua is, he will not really think that 20,000 horses can conquer Yamato.

On the first day of the new year, the ambassador of the Daehua Empire to Namba read a declaration of war to the Wakoku.

In the previous battles, Dahua had not officially declared war on the Wa State, and the landing operation against Tang Jin and others was only a response to the Wa State's initiative to attack and provoke.

But this time, the ambassador to the Wa State officially declared war on the Wa State, and Dahua officially started war on the Wa State.

This shocked the Empress Bao.

She originally thought that Dahua's transfer back to the main force of the Eastern Crusade would mean the end of the possible war.

No one expected that the crown prince Zhang Jing's Eastern Expeditionary Army changed from 100,000 to 20,000, but it turned out to be a strong declaration of war, and it was during this Spring Festival, which made her unprepared.

The Empress Bao was stunned and felt incredible.

"Will we be able to hold on?"

Soga Ezo was in low spirits, and the fall of the two major islands of Kyushu and Shikoku had shaken the Japanese kingdom extremely much, and no one was optimistic about this war anymore, and they really realized that Dahua was really going to destroy the Japanese kingdom.

In the past, they thought that the sea was a barrier, but now, the sea can no longer stop Dahua.

"Maybe we can try to negotiate with Dahua" This is the only way that Soga Ezo can think of.

The Empress shook her head.

"At this time, there will be no good results in negotiations, and we have no way to retreat, so we can only fight."

Shimonoseki.

At the westernmost point of Honshu Island, the port of Shimonoseki is also an important port, and it is also the western end of the Sanyo Line and Sanin Line.

Seven of the five provinces of the Wa Kingdom are not only administrative divisions, but also seven important national highways.

In the mountain countries, there is a transportation artery that connects the countries, called San'in 00 Road.

This road is considered to be in relatively poor condition among the roads of the Japanese Kingdom, but at least it is also a national highway.

Shimonoseki, the westernmost point of the San'in Line, is home to the port of Shimonoseki, which is strategically located across the sea from Kyushu Island.

At the same time, Shimonoseki is also the western end of the Sanyo Line.

Not long ago, it was from here that the soldiers of the daimyo of the various countries on the island of Honshu summoned by the Emperor of Wakuni boarded ships and sailed to Karatsu and then to Tsushima.

And now, it's still in Shimonoseki Port.

Not long after, this important port had already been captured by Dahua's Korean fleet.

It was said that it was an attack, but in fact it was not very laborious, and several battleships of the Korean fleet approached the port of Shimonoseki and bombarded the already small number of Japanese soldiers on the shore.

A few wooden houses were blown up, and the Japanese people had already fled.

After that, Dahua's transport ships and landing craft rushed to the beach, and the marines went ashore.

Just like an exercise, this important port was easily taken.

Those Japanese soldiers in Xiaguan were originally peasants gathered by local daimyos.

They had no combat power, no one wanted to go to war, and the daimyo could only force them to go to war with bows, arrows, knives and guns.

The improvised conscripts did not even have weapons, a few had a knife, and most of the soldiers only had a bamboo gun.

As for the bow and arrow, less.

For many Japanese people, if they have a steel knife in their hands, or a set of armor, even a set of leather armor, they can also boost their morale a lot.

Going to war empty-handed, and not even being able to guarantee food, makes them have no will to fight.

On the other hand, the Dahua army that landed in Shimonoseki was in high spirits, and all of them had armor and weapons, and even several long and short weapons.

The Marines had cavalry, infantry, artillery, and chariots, and they were extremely well equipped.

Different troops also wore battle robes with different numbers and patterns and coats of arms on the outside of their armor.

They marched in a neat line, marching in unison, with a marching band beating drums on one side.

The soldiers marched and sang military songs.

They sang the red flag fluttering, the army horn sounded, the sword was unsheathed, thunder and lightning flashed, such an army, just the morale of the army had already scared the Japanese people away.

What shocked many of the Xiaguan Japanese who had no time to escape was that such a high-morale and well-equipped army was actually not the Chinese army, but the Fusang militia composed of Japanese people.

Among those Japanese militias, there was even a militia unit from the Korean Peninsula, with a Silla Brigade and a Baekje Brigade, and even a Jaeze Brigade.

There are also the Khitan Brigade and the Kumo Xi Brigade, the Murowei Brigade, and the Xiabu Brigade.

These are militia units from the northeastern provinces conquered by Dahua in recent years, composed of the original soldiers in each department.

The seven militia brigades composed of the tribesmen of the conquered areas in the northeast were specially recruited and transferred to the crown prince Zhang Jing by the emperor.

The use of these tribal militias is also to avoid too many Japanese people in the hands of the crown prince Zhang Jing.

These seven brigades formed the 103rd Division of the Militia.

The prince's 20,000 regular army was still in Kyushu, but he had already sent out all three militia divisions in his hands.

All three divisions landed at the port of Shimonoseki, the 101st Division attacked San'in, the 102nd Division attacked Sanyang, and the 103rd Division was the general reserve and also the supervising team.

These militias, which are composed of people from various tribes, have to learn Chinese every day in addition to combat training.

They sang Dahua's military song every day, not only when marching, but also when they were eating.

In Xiaguan Port, these militiamen who sang Dahua military songs and wore gray-green militia uniforms also wore the same hairstyle as Dahua Hanmin.

After landing at Shimonoseki, the three militia divisions of 60,000 men, with the assistance of the Korean fleet, quickly advanced eastward.

These militias, composed of various tribes, under the orders of the crown prince, advanced rapidly.

For the daimyo guardians of the two kingdoms and the daimyo of each prefecture, the war that unfolded in the spring was simply unprepared.

The weather was very cold, and the Japanese were not prepared for war, and they were even hesitant in the face of Dahua's attack.

Quarrels over surrender or resistance.

The Japanese militia of the 101st and 102nd Divisions were fierce, and not long ago, they were as tame as sheep.

But now, under the leadership of the lion of Dahua, he has transformed from a sheep into a fully armed wolf.

They are fierce and warlike.

Because Dahua will be rewarded for meritorious service, the militia members will be paid and paid allowances as long as they are fighting and training.

And there will be rewards for bravery in combat.

Even during the war, when the captured booty was returned to the public, a proportional portion of it would be given to the militia.

All these greatly stimulated the Japanese militia.

They used to fight for the daimyo, but they didn't have such good treatment, and they brought their own dry food to the battlefield, and they didn't necessarily have any benefits when they died.

But Dahua is very generous to these Japanese militiamen, and he will be rewarded for his meritorious service.

The crown prince even announced that these Japanese militiamen could be rewarded with fields after their meritorious service, and the fields rewarded were Xuntian, which could be inherited by their descendants.

Under these encouragements, the barbarian militia was in high spirits, and they used the corpses of 8,000 Japanese soldiers to declare the victory of the Dahua Spring Offensive.

In just one month, the two Japanese militia divisions threw away the 103rd militia division, broke through the city all the way, and captured Shanyang and Shanyin.

They even rejoiced in their victory, because they had lost only 800 men in the defeat of the two and sixteen kingdoms and the annihilation of 8,000 enemies.

The battle loss of one to ten, which gave them their own battle number.

"We are the strongest, and we will win" Dahua revival three years, February.

The crown prince, Zhang Jing, landed on the island of Honshu and came to the rumored Iwami Silver Mountain.

After the capture of this place, Iwami Ginzan ushered in the people of the mining company.

A large number of Japanese people were recruited to come to mine, and after Zhang Jing watched the silver mountain here, he expressed his confidence in the capture of the Japanese kingdom as always.

He believed that it would only take three months to completely conquer the Wa Kingdom.

The Japanese militia is still marching in.

Now the only thing that can stop them is the terrible road of the Wa Kingdom.

The Japanese People's Militia Division successfully learned the essence of the Dahua army's blitzkrieg in the Japanese country.

One after another the order system was breached.

In the face of the menacing Dahua army, Namba's Emperor Gogoku and Soga Ezo could no longer sit still.

They must now face a choice, whether to give in or flee.

Not to be outdone, the North Korean fleet sailed directly towards the port of Namba.

Time is running out for Empress Bao and Soga Ezo.

The Korean fleet approached Namba, the new capital of the Japanese state, and the two Japanese militia divisions, like two big pincers, launched the most fierce attack on the Japanese country's Kinai.

These Japanese were well armed, especially with a large number of war horses, which made their maneuvers very fast, and often the Japanese daimyo had not yet reacted, and their peasants had not been able to gather them, and as a result, the Japanese militia was killed.

Yesterday these militiamen were a hundred miles away, and today they are already in the city.

Namba.

This new capital has become a city of fear, and people are terrified.

Rumors spread in the capital, and Dahua's army copied from both land and water.

And just at dusk on a drizzly day, Namba City suddenly burst into flames, and the Daika Nishiki Guards finally launched an action, and it seemed that all of a sudden, there were Daika's assassins everywhere, and they were their killers everywhere.

Jin Yiwei even unexpectedly broke into the palace of the Empress Bao, and assassinated the pair of dog men and women on the spot on the bed of Emperor Huangji, cutting off their heads. t1706231537:
