Chapter 847: Eighty Thousand Versus Five Hundred Thousand, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu’S Entire Army Was Wip
After the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties of Japan called on the guardian daimyo from all over the country to join the Ming army, they attacked the Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
The Muromachi shogunate, represented by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, also stood up and said that the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties had abandoned the glory of the Japanese country and were sinners of the Japanese country, and called on the guardian daimyo from all over the country to "clear the emperor's side" with it.
After such a banner was raised, the Japanese country was torn into two parts.
Among them, about 30% of the Japanese local guardian daimyo chose to obey the orders of the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties and decided to join the Ming army to help the Ming army conquer the Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
As for this part of the Japanese local guardian daimyo, they were pieced together here and added there. Together with the armies of Japanese warriors dispatched by the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties, they could be regarded as a hundred thousand Japanese warriors.
However, because the Ming army was divided into three or four groups, these 100,000 Japanese warriors also chose to attach themselves to different Ming armies.
For example, the Emperor of the Northern Dynasties and the local guardian daimyo of the Japanese country called by the Emperor of the Northern Dynasties. The 40,000 Japanese warriors they gathered chose to rely on the Ming army where the prince Zhu Biao was.
The Emperor of the Southern Dynasties, as well as the local guardian daimyo of Japan called upon by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and the 60,000 Japanese warriors they gathered together, chose to attach themselves to the Ming army where Jin King Zhu Fan was.
As for the Ming army where King Yan Zhu Di was, it was because the emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties had not dealt with him before, and there were no Japanese warriors attached to them for the time being.
There was no way, even though they were all Ming troops, it was obvious that the emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties still felt that it might be better to choose the Ming troops who had already dealt with them before.
And this result also made King Yan Zhu Di's face darken and darken.
So Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who had already conquered Noto Kingdom, Kaga Kingdom, Echizen Kingdom, and Echichin, once again defeated the Hida Kingdom that was close to him.
Likewise, at this time, Prince Zhu Biao and King of Chu Zhu Zhen had already defeated the last Zhou Fangguo.
At this point, all the land of the six countries on the westernmost side of the Japanese Honshu Island was owned by the Ming army.
Jin King Zhu Hong, who landed from Tango Kingdom, also defeated the surrounding Tajima Kingdom, Tanba Kingdom, and Wakasa Kingdom.
Faced with the unstoppable and powerful military strength of the three Ming armies of Prince Zhu Biao, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan, the other 70% of the Japanese local guardian daimyo, as well as the Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also beat gongs and drums to move faster. Join forces.
In the end, the other 70% of the 17 local guardian daimyo of Japan, as well as the Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gathered together a total of 500,000 Japanese warriors.
After the army of 500,000 Japanese warriors gathered together, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also prepared to be the first to attack the Ming army where Yan King Zhu Di was.
First, it was because King Zhu Di of Yan was closest to the Muromachi shogunate.
Secondly, it was because of the previous killing of the envoy of the Muromachi shogunate by Yan King Zhu Di, which could be said to have made Ashikaga Yoshimitsu full of anger.
Therefore, with the two factors superimposed, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was naturally preparing to cause trouble for Yan King Zhu Di.
The news was naturally received by Prince Zhu Biao, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan.
Prince Zhu Biao and King Zhu Fan of Jin respectively wrote to King Zhu Di of Yan, asking if they needed help.
After all, if they set off from the sea in a naval fleet, they can quickly feel the side of King Yan Zhu Di.
King Yan Zhu Di, who received letters from Prince Zhu Biao and King Jin Zhu Fan, shook his head and said that he did not need the help of his two brothers for the time being.
After all, after these two or three months, King Zhu Di of Yan also had a rough idea of the so-called level of the Japanese labor force.
The so-called Japanese warrior army is actually similar to the people's uprising army in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty.
What is the people's uprising army in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?!!
To put it bluntly, all of them are sallow, thin, weak, and suffering from chronic malnutrition.
Moreover, there is no unified standard of armor, nor unified standard of hundred-forged steel weapons as equipment.
He might just be holding a knife or a spear, or he might be wearing a simple leather armor or rattan armor, and then go directly to the battlefield.
Faced with the use of such backward weapons and equipment, and the thin and short Japanese warriors who are only 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall.
When the morale of both sides was about the same, Daming, who was wearing armor made of hundred-forged steel and using cold weapons also made of hundred-forged steel, stood in front of a strong sergeant with an average height of 1.7 and 1.8 meters.
Not to mention one against ten, but at least one against five, there is absolutely no problem!
And if hot weapons such as muskets and artillery are used, it is not the so-called number of hits per person, but the number of Japanese warriors who rush up before the muskets and artillery ammunition are exhausted, and how many Japanese warriors will die.
Even if the Japanese warriors could really break through the bombing line of muskets and artillery, it would cost at least tens to hundreds of thousands of Japanese warriors lives.
After tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of casualties, the morale of the Japanese warriors could not help but decline.
Not to mention that morale is not declining, and if they can not flee, then it is considered that the Japanese warriors are powerful.
At that time, 70,000 to 80,000 Ming Dynasty marines who are well-recharged, well-equipped and with high morale will fight against hundreds of thousands of Japanese warriors who have low morale and abandon their troops and armor. Not to mention a great victory, at least they will not lose.
It was precisely because he had a clear understanding of the gap between the enemy and ourselves that King Yan Zhu Di wrote back to Prince Zhu Biao and King Jin Zhu Fan saying that they did not need to send troops to help for the time being.
Prince Zhu Biao and King Jin Zhu Fan also knew this, so they did not send troops to reinforce.
I just wrote back to King Zhu Di of Yan again, reminding him to pay attention to safety and not to go to the battlefield in person, but to sit in the rear and command the entire army.
It was the end of April in the 20th year of Hongwu.
The Muromachi shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gathered 500,000 troops and attacked King Zhu Di of Yan from Mino and Shinano countries at the same time.
King Zhu Di of Yan and Duke Feng Sheng of Song did not directly engage in a direct battle with the 500,000 Japanese samurai army of Muromachi Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Instead, the previously conquered Echizen, Echichu, and Hida territories fought and retreated with the 500,000 Japanese samurai army of the Muromachi Shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, making it look like they were defeated by the Japanese Takeda army.
Seeing that the Ming army was beaten by them and kept retreating like a bereaved dog, the other 70% Japanese local guardian daimyo attached to the Muromachi shogunate became even more arrogant, clamoring for the Ming army but nothing more.
At the same time, he ordered the army of Japanese warriors to continue pursuing the victory and gain momentum to drive the Ming army out of Honshu Island, or to completely destroy it on Honshu Island!
In this regard, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu felt something was wrong.
Although he also felt that the army of 500,000 Japanese warriors could be said to have "the advantage in me" against the 70,000 to 80,000 Ming army!
However, according to the combat effectiveness shown by the Ming army in the past when they successively destroyed the country, even if they can win, they probably won't win so easily!
Yes, easy!
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could only use the word "relaxed" to describe the previous battle with the Ming army, as if the Ming army was deliberately leading them to pursue them.
With this thought, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was also worried that the Ming army was cheating, and wanted to stop temporarily and slow down the pace of the attack.
However, among the anti-Ming coalition forces, although the Muromachi shogunate he represented was the most powerful, and he himself was also the commander-in-chief of the anti-Ming coalition forces.
But when 70% of the Japanese local guardian daimyo who were attached to the Muromachi shogunate united and clamored that they could not stop the army and could not provide support to other Ming troops [they could not let this Ming army recover]. 【011404217 Feilu 144092450】
Even Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the commander of the anti-Ming coalition forces, had to succumb to their will.
After all, to put it harshly, the 70% of the Japanese local guardian daimyo who had united were capable enough to replace him, the head coach of the anti-Ming coalition.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could only lead an army of 500,000 Japanese samurai and continue to advance. However, in order to prevent being ambushed by the Ming army, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also sent more scouts and spies forward.
However, until the time before Noto Kingdom, the army of 500,000 Japanese samurai commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not encounter any of the traps imagined by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu except for the harassing battles of the Ming army. ambush.
Even in Noto Kingdom, one-third of the 50 million Japanese armed forces commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu were captured.
But at this time, the 500,000 Japanese warriors led by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu really encountered trouble - a Yanzhou city that circled hundreds of miles, was four or five feet high, and was two feet wide!
In the past few months, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese slaves captured by King Zhu Di of Yan were all used to build this Yanzhou city.
Now several months have passed, and with more than 100,000 Japanese slaves dead, the construction of this huge Yanzhou City has finally been completed.
And now the half-million Japanese samurai army commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is facing such a tower that is four or five feet high, built with steel bars, concrete and cement, and equipped with a large number of city defense fire guns, artillery and other thermal equipment. The military state city of weapons.
And due to the special geographical environment of Noto Province, it is like an arm extending outward from Honshu Island.
The huge Yanzhou City that circled hundreds of miles away was equivalent to directly cutting off the first one-third and the last two-thirds of Noto Country.
Under such circumstances, there is no way to bypass Yanzhou City unless we take the sea route.
However, now the entire sea is blocked by Ming's naval fleet.
It is just a fool's dream to rely solely on the small sailing ships and small seagoing ships of the Japanese country to break through the maritime blockade of the Ming Navy fleet in a large scale.
So under such circumstances [if the fifty Japanese samurai army commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu want to drive the Ming army led by Yan King Zhu Di out of Honshu Island.
Then there is only one way, and that is to attack Yanzhou City head-on!
With no other option, the 500,000 Japanese samurai army commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could only try to attack the city head-on.
But it is a pity that as long as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu dares to send troops to attack the city, then the Ming army stationed on Yanzhou City will dare to directly fire artillery bombardment.
Located on the coast, the Yanzhou City Ming Army can rely on the Ming Navy fleet to obtain a steady stream of gunpowder and logistical supplies from Tsushima Island, Tamna Island, or the North Korean and Busan military bases at any time. It does not have to worry about insufficient gunpowder. Or there are problems such as insufficient logistics.
Hundreds of heartless cannons placed on the walls of Yanzhou City, as well as the main cross-fire blockade composed of muskets and bows and arrows by the Ming Navy Marines.
The army of 500,000 Japanese warriors commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has been attacking for half a month. In addition to leaving behind 50,000 to 60,000 Japanese warrior corpses, they have not even climbed the walls of Yanzhou City.
At most, there were dozens or hundreds of Japanese warriors who were lucky enough to escape the triple cross fire blockade and luckily touched the foot of the Yanzhou City wall.
But it was of no use. The Ming army had glazed mirrors. The Ming army on the city wall stretched out the glazed mirrors. Through the refraction of the glazed mirrors, they could easily see the specific conditions of the corners of the city wall under the original blind angle. .
Then get rid of these lucky but unlucky fish that slipped through the net.
In the next half month, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu tried another night attack.
But it's useless. On the walls of Yanzhou City, as soon as night falls, a long string of lights will be lit.
Regardless of the night, the huge torch was enough to clearly illuminate tens of meters of Yanzhou City.
Afterwards, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu tried again to send Japanese samurai to pretend to be dead bodies, preparing to launch a sudden attack when the Ming army left the city to clean up the corpses.
But it was still useless. Before the Ming army left the city to clean up the corpses, they would definitely bombard those "corpses" from a distance of tens of meters, then fire a volley of muskets, and finally kill all the Japanese warriors with swords. All the "corpses" were hacked several times.
And it was the fatal part like the neck that was cut!
The main thing is to be cautious and last-hit!
Under such circumstances, even if the original "corpse" is not a real corpse, it will basically become a real corpse after Ming's repeated blows.
In the end, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had to choose to retreat after besieging Yanzhou City for a month and not being able to even land on the city wall once.
After all, Yanzhou City can replenish its logistics and food through the naval fleet at sea, but the hundreds of thousands of Japanese samurai troops commanded by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu do not have such a convenient and fast way to replenish their logistics and food.
In the end, the army of half a million Japanese warriors left nearly 100,000 corpses of Japanese warriors in front of Yanzhou City.
However, just when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu led his army to withdraw from Noto Kingdom, preparing to go back and repair 413 before fighting again.
However, Song Guogong Feng Sheng suddenly appeared with 70,000 Ming troops, blocking Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's retreat.
The Ming army fought and retreated before, but it was done deliberately by Feng Sheng, Duke of Song Dynasty.
The purpose was to use the "lost" and "retreat" method to enable the 50,000 Ming army to go around Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in batches.
Then when Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was preparing to retreat, he cut off his life.
As for Yanzhou City, relying on its tallness and solidity, it has a strength of 20,000 people.
Equipped with muskets, artillery and other thermal weapons, and without having to worry about logistics and food issues, it is not a problem to withstand the attack of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army of 500,000 Japanese samurai.
At the same time, King Zhu Di of Yan also personally led 10,000 Ming troops out of the city to pursue Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
As I said before, the geographical environment of Noto Province is special. It is like a bridge. The bridge is long and narrow, and there is the sea on both sides.
Under such circumstances, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's military advantage could not be brought into play at all.
Even if he still has an army of more than 400,000 Japanese warriors, the front and rear armies can only form a formation of tens of thousands of people at the same time.
The other 200,000 to 300,000 civilian warriors were all blocked by their own people and were of no use.
In this way, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was equivalent to being attacked from behind by King Zhu Di of Yan and Duke Feng Sheng of Song.
Under such circumstances, Heaven Defying would only be able to make a comeback unless a Sun Wu Hanbai was lost to replace Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, or there were meteorites or typhoons.
Otherwise, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's failure can be said to be doomed.
The two sides fought for a whole day and night. During this period, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wanted to lead his army forward or backward to break out many times.
But moving forward, the 70,000-strong army led by Song Guogong Feng Sheng was like seven hard city walls, unable to penetrate at all, let alone break out.
In the future, the 10,000 troops led by Yan King Zhu Di alone will indeed not be able to completely stop Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army of hundreds of thousands of Japanese samurai.
But the problem is that if King Zhu Di of Yan cannot stop him, he can lead his army back to Yanzhou City, and then the city gate will be closed.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army of 500,000 Japanese samurai could not capture Yanzhou City before, and now it is even more impossible to capture Yanzhou City.
Finally, Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty is in the front, King Zhu Di of Yan on the Yanzhou City in the rear, and the sea on both sides form a big self. I can catch the turtle with enough profit and justice in the urn!
Finally, after seven days of siege, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and some Japanese samurai and generals saw that there was no hope of breaking out, so they set up a small wooden sailboat and entered the sea to escape. "I don't know whether they will live or die."
The remaining army of warriors were killed by Song Duke Feng Sheng and Yan King Zhu Di, who killed nearly 200,000 people and captured the remaining more than 200,000 people.
In the end, King Zhu Di of Yan and Duke Feng of Song defeated the 80,000 Ming army and defeated Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's army of 500,000 Japanese warriors. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's entire army was annihilated!
