Chapter 159: One shot killed Ouchi Yoshihiro!I will never be merciless in killing little devils! When he heard the sound of cannons outside the city, Yoshino Yusuke finally understood what he had gotten into.
They attacked as they were told, and it took four and a half days. Although it had not yet reached five days, it would still take a day to send an envoy to Tangli.
Therefore, when no letter of agreement was received, the Ming Dynasty did not give any chance and directly launched the attack.
After hearing the rumbling sound of the artillery, they realized that the so-called weapons like Zuo Yoshichun that they and others had expected and judged were simply whimsical. The power of their artillery was so powerful that they could not parry it.
Soon, all the walls of Zhou Fangguo were blown to pieces.
Chen Han stood on the plywood, watching everything with a telescope, and finally said those words: "Thank you for giving us a reason to massacre you."
After saying this, Chen Han gave the order, "The entire army will attack. Anyone who does not surrender will be killed!"
In fact, what Chen Han said was nonsense.
Because at this time, there is no such thing as civilized or uncivilized, only red-blooded killing.
Many of the soldiers Chen Han and the others brought out were soldiers from the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They were familiar with water, so they would not get seasick.
In the same group of people, more or less people in their families have been attacked by Japanese pirates.
This is also an important reason why Chen Han and the others chose this group of people to join the Eastern Expedition Army.
They already had hatred for the Japanese pirates, but now that they had killed the Japanese slaves, the Japanese pirates' lair, how could they stop the surging desire for revenge in their chests?
Chen Han is just relatively restrained. He understands that if he wants to colonize the entire Japanese slaves, just killing people is not enough.
But it won’t work if you don’t kill people.
So after giving the Ouchi clan a chance, they didn't know how to cherish it, so naturally they didn't need to be polite to them.
After the soldiers were bombarded by three rounds of artillery, the Japanese pirates on the opposite side were so frightened that they were completely unable to resist. Or maybe they didn't have much resistance in the first place.
Those inside are basically the soldiers who guard their hometown inside the city wall on weekdays.
There were only a mere 2000 people at most. How could they deal with Ming Dynasty soldiers who were armed with firearms and had seen blood on the battlefield.
When the remaining Ouchi soldiers who had not been killed by the bombardment looked at the oncoming Ming soldiers who had landed on the shore with strange weapons and full equipment, they were so frightened that they shrank inside the city wall. .
However, the city wall they thought could stop Ming soldiers was like tofu under the bombardment of artillery.
The soldiers of the Ming army were as powerful as tigers descending from the mountain. They rushed into the city walls of Zhou Fangguo and also rushed into Yamaguchi Castle, which Ouchi Yoshihiro was proud of.
Among the soldiers of the Ming army, after some people were killed by Japanese pirates, all the hatred in their chests came out, and they killed people on sight.
Whether they were soldiers or civilians, they all died under gunfire and swords.
In such a chaotic situation, it would be too much to make any moral demands on these soldiers.
Chen Han looked at this scene and felt extremely happy in his heart, but he couldn't act too openly.
After seeing this scene, Mu Ying felt extremely relieved.
The Ouchi family's Yamaguchi Castle burst into mourning. In just one hour, thousands of people were killed and injured.
Only then did Ouchi Yoshihiro realize what kind of fatal mistake he had made.
I originally thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty at least had some rules and would not attack so quickly.
But he didn't expect that Chen Han would give the order within four and a half days.
To be honest, Chen Han had given them opportunities, even given them many opportunities, but they didn't cherish them.
Therefore, Chen Han was not pedantic, he just killed people when it was time to kill.
Even though the Japanese slave soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy, their heads were cut off by the surging Ming Dynasty soldiers.
The entire magnificent Yamaguchi City was bombed with holes everywhere under the attack of the Ming army.
In the meeting hall, Ouchi Yoshihiro was sitting on his throne, and the courtiers below had fallen into disarray.
The capitulationists had already knelt down outside Yamaguchi City with their families and their families, raising their hands in surrender.
Regarding these people, the soldiers of the Ming army were relatively restrained. They did not kill them, but directly asked people to take care of them.
Then the soldiers filed in and entered Yamakou City. After entering here, the Ming army soldiers were stunned for a moment.
Compared with other cities, the prosperity of Yamaguchi Castle is truly astonishing.
To be honest, other cities are just cities, rather than small towns.
But Yamaguchi Castle is really magnificent.
It has both the influence of the Central Plains culture and the atmosphere of the Japanese slaves' own country.
It seems that Yoshihiro Ouchi spent all the money he earned on building the city.
The people here are obviously different from the people in other places.
At least they all wore silk and satin. All the wealthy households of the Ouchi family gathered here, and all of them were from well-off families.
But now they can only kneel down on the street, waiting for their fate to finally come.
They heard the sounds of fighting outside the city, and also heard the tragic scene of the soldiers and civilians being shot as they fled wildly. The smell of blood wafted into the city.
War has always been a cruel art, and no one expects soldiers to restrain themselves on the battlefield.
When Chen Han and Mu Ying came in from outside the city on their tall horses, stepping on the corpses of the Japanese slaves, they felt as if those little Japanese invaders had entered a Chinese city.
Although not arrogant, there is a feeling of elation.
Chen Han never thought that one day he would be able to realize such a wish.
What was even more unexpected was that this was a battle that he personally led.
Maybe Mu Ying didn't even know why Chen Han was so anxious at this time.
Only Chen Han knew in his heart that he had never thought about leaving a complete land for the Japanese slaves.
He only wants to divide them into pieces, and then cannibalize them step by step, or even directly destroy the entire nation.
But now he still needs to slave the people here to help him dig silver mines, otherwise he will definitely order the massacre of the city.
Now it's just killing those who don't surrender, which is already a very merciful act.
When we arrived at Ouchi Yoshihiro's palace, the magnificence here was even better than other places.
All the Ouchi clan's ministers knelt down in the palace square.
Yoshino Yusuke, Kajida Daichi and Doi Yasuhei are no exception.
Especially Kajida Daichi and Doi Yasuhei, even though they were kneeling on the square of Yamaguchi Castle's main hall, watching Chen Han and the others slowly enter the city, it felt really uncomfortable.
It only took a short hour, but the entire Yamaguchi City had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now basically all the people in Yamaguchi City were kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to offer any resistance.
Five thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were already stationed in Shankou City. If it weren't for Mu Ying's strict military discipline, the soldiers at this time would have started burning, killing and looting.
However, after the previous half hour of massacre, many soldiers tried their best to restrain themselves from those who resisted, and did not kill those innocent people.
He just shot those thugs in the head who dared to pick up the shovel and wanted to resist.
After the whole war, only the bombardment of the entire Zhou Fangguo city wall on Maguanhai Mountain was the most intense.
After entering Yamaguchi Castle, there was silence.
It is estimated that after everyone heard the bombardment, they were too frightened to offer any Daichi and Dohi Yasuhei knelt on the square to watch.
When Chen Han's horse came to them, they still resisted, "You promised for five days, you guys promised for five days, but now only four and a half days have passed, why attack?"
Chen Han looked down at him from the horse and looked at him with sympathy for the mentally retarded.
The two of them still looked very excited, and they were probably very dissatisfied in their hearts.
Chen Han just smiled slightly: "These two people are not surrenderers."
The soldiers behind had already understood what this sentence meant, and pulled the two of them directly to the center of the square, and then killed them with two shots.
This time, the ministers of the Ouchi clan who were still hesitating were even more frightened.
Mu Ying and Chen Han entered the main hall. Those who entered on horseback did not even bother to walk in.
When I arrived at the center of the hall, I saw Ouchi Yoshihiro sitting on his throne.
Looking at Chen Han from afar.
It is estimated that Ouchi Yoshihiro has not thought about why he was defeated so completely.
He struggled countless times during these four and a half days.
Countless experiences told me that I should not lose so miserably.
After all, the Ouchi clan had been struggling in China for many years and defeated countless noble clans who wanted to annex them.
But this time, for some reason, he failed so completely.
The city wall that he was proud of could not hold out for even two hours under the attack of Ming Dynasty people's weapons.
Chen Han and Mu Ying dismounted and came to Ouchi Yoshihiro, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers behind them.
There was no one around Ouchi Yoshihiro, and everyone who dared to resist was killed.
And now no one around him is willing to be buried with him at this time.
Chen Han walked up to Ouchi Hong, and Ouchi Yoshihiro also stood up and looked at Chen Han with his neck raised, still refusing to admit defeat.
Ouchi Yoshihiro knew that he might not die.
Because he still has some value, he firmly believes that he can rule the entire Ouchi clan's territory.
The people within the Ouchi clan's jurisdiction are still afraid of themselves.
So he still has some negotiating qualifications.
He stood up, head held high.
Just as he spoke, he saw that the three-eyed gun in Chen Han's hand was already pointed at him.
Yoshihiro Ouchi didn't know how powerful this weapon was.
So he's going to give it a try today.
Chen Han looked at him, lit the fuse, and fired with a bang.
Ouchi Yoshihiro clearly felt that something passed directly through his body, and then pain came.
He looked down at the big hole in his chest in disbelief. Then his body was uncontrollable and he hit the wall directly. A large amount of blood flowed out uncontrollably.
It wasn't until this moment that he knew that Ming Chao had never thought of saving his life.
He was not as valuable as he imagined.
Chen Han had no intention of saving his life from the beginning.
Chen Han had no intention of keeping such a scoundrel who dared to fight against Ming Dynasty to the end.
Because if you keep him, you will cause huge damage to yourself.
So when we came to this main hall, even inside the main hall there were still many retainers of the Ouchi clan and his family members kneeling.
Chen Han still faced them and killed Ouchi Yoshihiro with one shot.
This hero, this strong general who once led the Ouchi clan to launch the Onin Rebellion in the history of Japanese slaves, did not die under the iron hoof of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army, but died under Chen Han's gun.
All the ministers of the Ouchi clan were so frightened that they fell to their knees when they saw that Chen Han didn't even say a word and directly shot their monarch. No one dared to resist.
But outside the main hall, after Yoshino Yusuke saw his monarch being shot to death by Chen Han, he wailed and fought back.
The 40-year-old general also wanted to pick up the dropped weapon.
But the pile of weapons, which was only five meters away from him, was as unreachable as a chasm at the moment he took action.
Because his head had been shot open by the Ming soldier guarding him.
Chen Han's order was that anyone who dared to resist could be killed without mercy.
So the eyes of the soldiers guarding them had already been watching their every move.
As soon as he shouted, the soldiers beside him knew what he was going to do.
The fuse had already been lit, and as soon as he moved, the gun fired.
He may be a loyal minister, but he can only be described as foolishly loyal.
How is it possible to still resist under such circumstances?
After killing Ouchi Yoshihiro and this veteran, all the ministers never made a sound again.
And Chen Han and the others also did it very simply, evacuating the entire Yamaguchi City with a wave of four thousand troops.
Then the entire population of Yamaguchi Castle and all surrounding villages was taken away.
Three days later, this Yamaguchi Castle, which Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must envy, was in ruins.
Even the gold foil inlaid on the pillars was all pried away.
Anything of value was looted.
Yamaguchi Castle is worthy of being the base area that Ouchi Yoshihiro and several generations of the Ouchi family have operated for hundreds of years. They are extremely rich, and all of this has come to the advantage of Chen Han and the others.
Chen Han and the others did not let the prisoners return to Daming City empty-handed, but each of them carried at least a large bag of things.
12 prisoners, the entire population of the most prosperous city in Yamaguchi City, all carrying a large bag of things.
It contains either food, jewelry, gold, or silver.
They were escorted by Chen Han and the others, and they emptied the entire Yamaguchi City and surrounding areas.
The big animals are even more loaded with things.
Although there has not been a careful inventory, the amount of silver alone has reached a huge 200 million taels.
More than 100 million taels of them came from the Ouchi family, and the rest came from the wealthy households in Yamaguchi Castle.
Those wealthy households never dreamed that this move would be so complete.
Even their cellar was dug out.
In three days, the efficiency of the five thousand Ming Army soldiers was so high that everyone was shocked...
