    Chao Yong lay on the deck for a while and accidentally fell asleep.

    Wu Song waited for a while and saw that Chao Yong showed no signs of waking up yet, so he had to whisper: "Prince."

    ¡° Perhaps Chao Yong was surrounded by Chao Yong¡¯s confidants, and Chao Yong, who was always very vigilant, slept soundly this time.

    After Wu Song screamed a few times, Chao Yong opened his eyes, looked at the sun that was tilting a little to the west and said, "What's wrong?"

    "They have been fighting for almost an hour, but they still can't force the Japanese back."

    Chao Yong stood up, stretched, and motioned for the soldiers to bring him a glass of orange juice. He drank it and picked up the telescope.

    Tragic, very tragic.

    The coast was dyed red, and the vassal troops and the Japanese were still fighting on the shore.

    Looking at the densely packed people fighting each other on the shore, Chao Yong suddenly had the idea of ??ordering another round of bombardment from the frigate to restore peace to the world.

    calm down.

    Chao Yong suppressed his thoughts and said to Wu Song: "Then lead your troops ashore. The Japanese are good at fighting alone. Try to let the soldiers fight in formations."

    Wu Song clasped his fists and said: "I have the order, we will definitely repel the Japanese within an hour."

    Sun An immediately said: "The last general is also willing to fight."

    Shi Bao and Fang Jie also asked for a fight. They listened in front of Chao Yong's tent. The wars to destroy Jin and Goryeo didn't get any fighting opportunities, and they all held back their energy.

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, after destroying Japan, it's time for me to rest. I'll arrange a job for you when I return home. There won't be many opportunities to fight like this in the future. Just kill as much as you want. Kill enough 100 Japanese."  Promoted to general."

    Sun An, Shi Bao, and Fang Jie have been working in front of Chao Yong's account. Although their ranks have been promoted to deputy generals, they have never had actual duties.  Hearing that Chao Yong was going to arrange practical jobs for them, he was very excited, nodded heavily and followed Wu Song off the ship.  They were all brave enough to kill a hundred and eighty Japanese. It was only a matter of time before they could kill them.

    "Wait for me."

    Seeing Wu Song and the others sliding towards the boat, Li Kui, who had been sleeping soundly on the deck, suddenly opened his eyes.  When he saw the four people about to get off the boat, he immediately got up and chased after them with an axe.

    The five people slid from the Prince to the small boat below, and then headed towards the coast, followed by the ship carrying Wu Songbu.

    The five people landed on the shore and attacked the Japanese like tigers down the mountain.

    Although Japanese samurai have practiced martial arts hard since childhood, few of them can survive against the five powerful generals.  Moreover, the five of them had been recharging their energy for a long time, but they had been fighting for nearly an hour. Many famous warriors wanted to stop the five of them.  As a result, they all fell at the feet of the five people.

    Wu Song was still thinking about the soldiers and horses behind him, and they were just fighting on the coast, but Li Kui and the four of them were thrusting straight into the island like four sharp knives.

    After Wu Song's troops landed ashore, they formed a dense formation and pushed forward.

    Japanese samurai are good at fighting alone, and the grassland tribes and Jurchens can only fight alone, so they started fighting with the Japanese as soon as they landed ashore, which just allowed the strengths of the Japanese samurai to be released.

    "But the Daliang soldiers are good at fighting in formations. It is difficult for ordinary Japanese samurai to break through the Daliang army formation, even if someone occasionally rushes into the formation.  Still facing swords and guns from all directions, they were quickly killed.

    Almost as soon as Wu Song's troops landed, the battlefield moved inward, and the vassal troops fighting in the melee were pushed forward and killed by Wu Song's troops.

    Chao Yong saw that Wu Song's troops had achieved obvious results as soon as they landed.  He also waved his hand and said, "Come ashore."

    When Chao Yong¡¯s four-clawed golden dragon flag was flying on the coast, many crazy Japanese samurai rushed towards Chao Yong from both sides. Directly in front was Wu Song¡¯s tribe. No Japanese samurai could break through the army formation of 10,000 people.  What's more, there is Wu Song with sharp swords at the front.

    "Fire and thunder attack."

    Chao Yong was not interested in playing close combat with the Japanese samurai to avoid dirtying his weapons.

    The prince's soldiers originally wanted to have fun and fight with the Japanese, but they heard the prince's order.  I had no choice but to use fire and thunder attacks.

    After a burst of explosions, most of the Japanese who rushed from both sides were blown to pieces. A few of them managed to escape death by blocking the thunderbolts with their footsteps and samurai swords in their hands. They were also stunned by the explosions around them.  However, these Japanese rushed towards Chao Yong without fear of death, hoping to capture the thief first.

    Chao Yong smiled and said as he was about to rush forward, "Try the musket."

    A row of soldiers immediately pulled out their muskets from their waists and fired at the charging Japanese.

    "boom"

    "boom"

    "boom"

    There was a burst of gunfire, and the few Japanese who were lucky enough to rush over were beaten into a hornet's nest. No one could get out of the way.Bullets and armor can't protect them.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The lethality at close range is good, but it's a pity that the range is not good."

    The Guns and Artillery Bureau spent more than two years not only making artillery with a range of more than two miles, but also muskets, but the range was only about ten steps.

    In the era of bows and arrows with a range of dozens of steps, muskets that can only shoot a dozen steps can be said to be completely useless. Although they are more powerful than bows and arrows, archers can snipe and kill musketeers outside the range of muskets.

    The Gun and Artillery Bureau knew that the muskets they built were of little use, and planned to abandon this impractical weapon and concentrate on powerful artillery. However, Chao Yong knew the prospects of muskets in the future, so he asked the Gun and Artillery Bureau to produce small batches of them.  Some muskets were provided to some of the imperial guards and the prince's personal soldiers, while the Bureau of Guns and Artillery continued to research muskets.

    The explosions of fire and thunder and the sound of gunshots spread throughout the battlefield. Many Japanese could not see the scene here and thought it was a warship firing again. Thinking that the stone walls on the seaside had been blown to pieces, they were all frightened, fearing that the warship would attack.  They fired.

    When the vassal army heard the sound of fire and thunder, they knew that it was the main army of Liang Dynasty who was on the move. With the help of God, the Japanese who were killed were retreating steadily.

    On a small hill by the coast, a group of Japanese samurai protected Sekishiro Fujiwara Tadamichi in the middle.

    After Prince Daliang's dragon flag appeared on the shore, Fujiwara Tadamichi kept looking at Prince Daliang and his party with a telescope, hoping that a warrior who was not afraid of death would capture the thief first and capture the king first, thus defeating Daliang.

    Japan is still very afraid of beams. Whether it is spaceships, telescopes or gunpowder, they are all beyond the imagination of the Japanese. After the telescopes came on the market, businessmen bought them at high prices and sold them to Japan. Many Japanese nobles did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them for fun.  The Japanese are also very afraid of Prince Daliang who invented these things.

    After the matter of spying on gunpowder was exposed, Emperor Shirakawa ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, but no one admitted that he sent people to spy on the matter.  Japan's domestic political forces are complex.  Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba, and the Fujiwara family who once held power in Japan are all suspected, but there is no evidence.

    Fujiwara Tadashi is the eldest son of this generation of Fujiwara family. He is only twenty-eight years old this year. Originally, the position of Guanhaku was held by his father, Fujiwara Tadashi. Fujiwara Tadashi angered Emperor Shirakawa, so he inherited the position of Guanhaku a few years ago.  However, after Emperor Shirakawa implemented the court system, Guan Bai's power was very small.  If he hadn't gotten close to Emperor Shirakawa, he wouldn't have been able to get the command right this time.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  But his father Fujiwara's loyal love was his younger brother Fujiwara Nori Naga.  If he wants to inherit the power of the Fujiwara family, he must rely on external forces. Emperor Toba is still practicing ninjutsu, so he can only seek refuge with Emperor Shirakawa.

    Fujiwara Tadamichi suspected that the person who spied on the gunpowder in the beam should be Emperor Toba. Emperor Toba has been on the throne for more than ten years, and his power has been controlled by his grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa. His own queen was even slept with by his grandfather. It is obvious that he has endured humiliation and burden.  If he could steal Daliang's gunpowder formula, he could overthrow the rule of Emperor Shirakawa.

    Although Emperor Shirakawa and the Fujiwara family both have motives and strength.  But none of them were as urgent as Emperor Toba.

    When he saw many samurai rushing towards Prince Daliang, Fujiwara Tadamichi was still looking forward to it. However, after a fire and thunder bombing, Daliang actually used a weapon he had never heard of.  He punched bloody holes in the warriors who rushed forward.

    "Lord Guan Bai, those two Han people are coming to kill you."

    Daliang¡¯s firearms were so powerful that even the most powerful warriors could not reach the prince of Daliang.

    Fujiwara Tadamichi reluctantly put down his telescope and saw that the samurai who had just been sent out to surround the two powerful generals who were coming towards him had all fallen into a pool of blood.  The two fierce generals rushed towards him again with murderous intent on their faces, but there were only about twenty warriors left around him, not as many as the ones sent out just now.  Not daring to fight anymore, he turned around and ran away.

    The samurai leader divided a few more people to die, while the others protected Fujiwara Tadashi and ran away.

    After Shi Bao and Fang Jie entered the battle group, they targeted the Japanese generals who were observing the formation from behind. The two of them cooperated to fight their way over.

    Shi Bao¡¯s Splitting Wind Knife can be said to be invincible in a chaotic battle. Although Japanese swords are also excellent, when encountering a treasure-level Wind Splitting Knife, they are basically one sword with two parts.

    Fang Jie¡¯s Fang Tian Painted Halberd made the Japanese samurai who played with swords complain incessantly. Fang Jie almost couldn¡¯t get close before being knocked over by Fang Jie. Occasionally he got close, only to find that what was waiting for them was Shi Bao¡¯s wind-splitting knife.

    The two men fought their way out of the rebel formation. If they hadn't been fighting hard every day, they would have been drowned among the dozens of elite warriors sent by Fujiwara Tadamichi.

    Even so, after killing dozens of people, both of them were gasping for air. However, when they saw Fujiwara Tadamichi was about to run, they didn't care about resting, so they chased him up the hill with long strides.

    "ah"

      Several Japanese samurai who were left to die rushed towards the two men with Japanese swords and howling.

    Fang Jie looked at the dwarf who rushed over with disdain. Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand drew a semicircle in the air. Except for one dwarf who shrank to the ground, all the others had their throats cut open by Fang Jie's move.

    The dwarf who had shrunk to the ground rolled to the feet of the two of them, and with a flash of Japanese sword, he slashed towards their ankles.

    Fang Jie did not dodge, but took a step forward, as if facing the dwarf's Japanese sword.

    As soon as a hint of joy flashed across the short man's face, he felt a cold light flash above his head. Knowing that it was the big man on the side who had taken action, he hurriedly blocked it with the Japanese sword in his hand.

    "Keng"

    There was a sound of metal and iron clashing, and the dwarf was chopped into two pieces with his knife.

    Fang Jie had known that the result would be like this, so he strode forward and said, "That guy seems to be a Japanese general. As soon as he left, the Japanese on the battlefield began to retreat."

    Shi Bao looked back and saw that many Japanese were running towards him. He nodded and said, "We chased after him and took that guy. It's a great achievement."

    Not long after Fujiwara Tadamichi escaped, the two men caught up with him again, and he quickly sent out the samurai around him to intercept them.

    "It's a pity that Shi Bao and Fang Jie are too skilled in martial arts. Even if the Japanese samurai wants to die together, they can't stop them.

    Just as he was about to flee to where the war horse was, Shi Bao and Fang Jie had already caught up with them, knocking over the samurai beside Fujiwara Tadamichi twice.

    Just when Fujiwara Tadamichi was about to draw his sword to resist, Fang Jie's Fangtian Painted Halberd was already placed on his neck. The coldness on the blade immediately made Fujiwara Tadamichi shudder. He trembled and said: "I am Japanese Guan Bai, don't kill me."  I."

    When Fang Jie heard Fujiwara Tadong begging for mercy in Chinese, he was stunned and said: "Guan Bai?"

    Shi Baodao: "The former prime minister, but after Emperor Shirakawa ascended the throne, he has no power."

    Chao Yong before sending troops.  People have collected a lot of information about Japan, and the general in front of the account also has some understanding of the general situation in Japan.

    Fang Jie thought he had captured some general, but when he heard that it was Guan Bai who had little power, he was disappointed and said: "Then just kill him."

    When Fujiwara Tadamichi heard this, he knelt down on the ground and said: "General, spare my life, I am willing to serve Daliang."

    Fang Jie became even more disdainful when he saw how spineless Fujiwara Tadamichi was, and said: "You have no power, and your martial arts skills are not as good as those of the Japanese samurai. What do we need you for?"

    Fujiwara Tadamichi looked at the Japanese samurai fleeing from a distance and said: "I can recruit those samurai for Daliang. I am familiar with the capital and can take you to the capital."

    Shi Bao had already seen the retreating Japanese warriors and nodded: "Okay, then you can recruit samurai for us. The more people who follow you, the greater your value will be. Maybe the prince will let you become a Japanese warrior."  Not necessarily the new king."

    Fujiwara Tadamichi heard that he might still become emperor.  Immediately his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Okay, I will do my best to serve the prince."

    Fang Jie put away Fang Tian¡¯s painted halberd.  Let Fujiwara Tadachi stand up and say: "Then you recruit the samurai behind. If you want to see whether your legs are faster or my halberd is faster. You can try to escape."

    When Fujiwara Tadamichi heard this, he hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare."

    The first wave of Japanese samurai who saw the retreat of Fujiwara Tadamichi's flag had already rushed forward.  Fujiwara Tadayoshi began to recruit these samurai under the supervision of Shi Bao and Fang Jie.

    Fang Jie and Shi Bao couldn't understand Japanese either, so they could only hear their chattering exchanges. Then some samurai came over, and more Japanese samurai looked angry and ran away to both sides, and some went here.  They were coming from the side, but looking at their bloodthirsty looks, you knew they had bad intentions.

    Shi Bao did not dare to be careless and shouted: "Let those who surrender stop others, and no one can come near."

    Fujiwara Tadamichi was also afraid that the samurai who accused him of treason would come and kill him, so he hurriedly asked the samurai he persuaded to stop those people.

    Soon after the two gangs of samurai killed them, the Liang army came after them. The samurai who wanted to kill Fujiwara Tadamichi saw no chance and turned around and ran away.

    The surrendered Japanese samurai were afraid of being accidentally killed by the Liang army behind them and did not dare to pursue them, so they all came to Fujiwara Tadamichi's side.

    Shi Bao shouted: "Everyone who surrenders should kneel down."

    The Japanese seemed to be very accustomed to kneeling. As soon as Shi Bao made a sound, Fujiwara Tadamichi knelt on the ground and shouted to all the surrendering Japanese samurai to kneel down.

    Shi Bao and Fang Jie also asked the charging Daliang army to bypass these surrendering Japanese samurai and pursue them.

    Under the pursuit of the Daliang army, more and more Japanese samurai knelt behind Fujiwara Tadamichi.

    That night, the army set up camp on a high ground on the shore.??.

    In this battle, more than 40,000 Japanese samurai and civilians were killed, more than 5,000 were captured, and more than 10,000 were surrendered. Less than half of the 100,000 samurai led by Fujiwara Tadamichi escaped.  If Fujiwara Tadamichi had not escaped, the Japanese soldiers and horses would not have been defeated immediately. They could still fight with 40% casualties, which shows the madness of the Japanese.

    Daliang soldiers also lost more than 20,000 people, and the casualties were basically vassal troops.

    In the big tent, Chao Yong was sitting in the main seat. On the left were Wu Song, Sun An, Shi Bao, and Fang Jie. On the right were the leaders of the vassal army, Malhusi and Hebule.

    ¡°In today¡¯s battle, Li Kui killed an unknown number of people, and they were all covered in blood. After chasing for a while, he was bumped into by Sun An, and he found that Li Kui also had many injuries on his body, so he dragged Li Kui back.

    The doctor accompanying the army examined Li Kui's whole body and found more than a dozen minor injuries and two serious injuries on Li Kui's body. The bleeding was finally stopped, and most of Li Kui was wrapped in bandages.

    Even so, Li Kui was still howling to hunt down the Japanese.

    How could Chao Yong dare to let Li Kui go into battle even though he was injured? He sent warships to send Li Kui and the prisoners of war who were unwilling to surrender back to the Central Plains overnight.

    After Fujiwara Tadamichi followed Shi Bao and Fang Jie into the tent, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Japanese criminal minister Fujiwara Tadamichi comes to see the Prince of Daliang."

    Chao Yong has received the news that Guan Bai of Japan has become a Japanese traitor and is leading people around to recruit Japanese samurai. He also expects the Japanese to dig gold and silver mines for him. He has no plans to kill them all yet. He smiled and said: "  Get up, Japan actually dares to spy on my important weapon. I am here with my troops this time to depose your emperor and make a new king of Japan. You are the first Japanese minister to submit to me. Are you willing to do it?  I am the king of Japan."

    When Fujiwara Tadamichi heard that he had the opportunity to be the king, he didn't care whether he was the Japanese king of Daliang or Japan's own king. As soon as he stood up, he knelt down again and kowtowed: "Thank you for your great kindness, Prince. If Fujiwara Tadamichi becomes the king of Japan,  They have been loyal to Daliang from generation to generation. If there is any betrayal, their descendants will be cut off."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "I ask you to be the king of Japan. You must pay tribute to Daliang one hundred thousand taels of gold, one million taels of silver, and one million catties of copper every year. Is it possible?"

    When Fujiwara Tadamichi heard that Chao Yong wanted so many tributes, he was shocked and said: "There are some gold and copper mines in Japan, but there are no silver mines. I'm afraid there is not that much silver."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "There are many silver mines in Japan, but you haven't discovered them yet. I will send people to Japan to help you find the mines. You want to send people to mine, can you do it?"

    Fujiwara Tadamichi thought for a while, then bravely said: "There are few Japanese people, so I'm afraid they won't be able to dig out so many mines."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "There are a lot of people in Japan. If you think you can't do it, I can replace you."

    When Fujiwara Tadamichi heard this, his expression changed drastically. He didn't know whether Chao Yong just wanted to replace someone as the king, or whether he would kill him, an incompetent person. He quickly said: "I can do it, I can do it." (Unfinished)  to be continued)
