Chapter 164 Sorry, your dad fell down! (Please subscribe!!)
A place fifty miles away from Kyoto in Japan.
The two Japanese armies commanded by the Oda Guards and Ashikaga Naomi finally merged. Together with the troops of "Kin King" who came from various places, the number of Japanese troops reached a terrifying 55! ! "Brother Naomi, as long as we unite, we will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and rescue the besieged Emperor!" said the Oda guard with great confidence.
"That's right!" Ashikaga Naomi analyzed: "According to the intelligence I collected, the Ming army in Kyoto only has more than 55 people, and we have [-] troops. No matter how brave these Ming troops are, we can't It’s enough to repel them, or even annihilate them!”
"There must be nothing going on between the Emperor of Light and my eldest brother!"
Hearing this, the Oda guard's face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Not only His Majesty the Emperor and Brother Naomi's brother must not have anything happen to him, but I, the Oda family, must not have anything happen to them either."
Ashikaga Naomi reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Of course, Brother Guard, please forgive me, it was my slip of the tongue just now."
The Oda guards did not continue to care. After all, the Oda family could not compete with the Ashikaga family.
"We are only fifty miles away from Kyoto. As long as we speed up a little bit, we can reach the city of Kyoto today, and this crisis can be resolved."
"Okay, then let's join forces and head towards Kyoto at full speed!"
Then, just as the two were about to give the order to their respective men to march at full speed.
A samurai barged in.
"The two generals are in trouble!"
"Kyoto has fallen!"
what!! Ashikaga Naomi and the Oda guards stood up from their seats in fright.
"Kyoto has fallen!"
"What about the Emperor of Light and my eldest brother! Where are they?"
Ashikaga Naomi asked quickly.
"The Emperor Guangming and a group of ministers... and people from various major families were captured alive by the Ming army, but my subordinates heard that General Zhengyi escaped!"
After hearing that the emperor and ministers had been captured alive by the Ming army, both Ashikaga Naomi and the Oda guards showed a trace of despair in their eyes.
But after hearing that his eldest brother Ashikaga Takauji had escaped, Ashikaga Naomi had a hint of joy in his eyes.
"So is there any news about my elder brother now?" Ashikaga Naomi asked hurriedly.
The warrior shook his head, "No one knows the whereabouts of General Zhengyi!"
Ashikaga Naomi gave the order directly, "Give me the order to slow down the advance of the whole army and send out all the scouts in the army to look for my elder brother!"
After hearing this, the Oda guard immediately quit, "Brother Naomi, we should lead the army to recapture Kyoto City at this time, and leave a small army to find the general who conquered the barbarians."
"Now that the emperor, many ministers and family members in Kyoto have been arrested, rescuing them is the top priority!"
Ashikaga Naomi, who had a kind attitude at first, glanced at the Oda guards coldly and said in a deep voice: "Brother Guards, don't kid yourself. Since the Ming army has occupied Kyoto and captured the Emperor and the others, we alone can't do anything about it." Take it back.”
"If the Ming army threatens the emperor's life and asks us to surrender, what should we do? Will our samurai still listen to us at that time?"
The Oda guard also said in a deep voice: "Ashikaga Naomi, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking!"
"Now that the emperor and a group of ministers are trapped in the city of Kyoto, in the hands of the Ming army, as long as General Zhengyi escapes, as long as General Zhengyi is still there, nothing will happen to the Ashikaga family. If all the other ministers and family members If you fall, your Ashikaga family will truly unify Japan and surpass the existence of the royal family!"
"I'm right!"
"Haggagaji!" Ashikaga Naomi roared angrily.
"You are so angry. It seems that I guessed it right. But this is just your wishful thinking. The samurai are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, not your Ashikaga family. Do you think if the samurai know that you, Ashikaga, will directly let the Emperor go? Instead of rescuing him, we are going to look for Ashikaga Takauji. What do you think the samurai should think?"
Hearing this, Ashikaga Naomi became even more angry and pulled out his sword directly, "Haga, I'm going to kill you!"
Kill——
The Oda guard was not at all deterred, and also drew his sword, "Ashikaga Naomi, if your brother Ashikaga Takauji or Ashikaga Naoyoshi were here today, I might still have scruples, but Ashikaga Takauji's whereabouts are unknown, and Ashikaga Naomi is imprisoned. Yu Daming, your martial arts is no match for me."
"Killing you is enough!" Ashikaga Naomi roared.
The surrounding warriors were at a loss when they saw this, and each drew their swords to fight.
Just when the two sides were about to fight, a figure walked in.
"General!!"
A warrior shouted excitedly.
Ashikaga Naomi quickly looked towards the entrance of the camp, and the person coming was none other than Ashikaga Takauji, the general of the Japanese shogunate who conquered the barbarians!
"Big brother!"
Ashikaga Naoshima sheathed his sword and hurriedly walked towards Ashikaga Takauji, "Brother, the Oda guards are unwilling to send troops to rescue you, and they want to kill me!"
Snapped--
Ashikaga Takauji slapped Ashikaga Naomi directly on the face, "You bastard!"
"What the guards did was the right thing. The emperor is trapped and should be rescued first. If the emperor is killed because of me, you are trapping me in a place of disloyalty and injustice!"
"Why don't I apologize to the guards immediately when I have a stupid brother like you?"
Ah! Ashikaga Takauji's slap directly stunned Ashikaga Naomi.
He didn't quite understand why Ashikaga Takauji did this, but?Facing the majesty of his elder brother, he instinctively carried out Ashikaga Takauji's orders.
"Hi!"
Then he turned around and bowed ninety degrees to the still confused Oda guard, and said loudly: "Brother guard, please forgive me!"
"Guard, I heard what you just said inside. You are right. We ministers must keep the emperor's safety at heart. Don't worry, now that I am back, I will definitely save His Majesty the Emperor! Eliminate it! All the armies of the Ming Dynasty!" Ashikaga Takauji is already a man in his 50s, with gray hair on his temples, but he is very strong and energetic, especially his eyes, which can see through people's hearts.
"The guards are willing to take back Kyoto from the Ming army under the leadership of the general and rescue His Majesty the Emperor!"
Oda guard said quickly.
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that the atmosphere in the entire camp was no longer so tense.
Ashikaga Takauji also had a bigger smile on his face and nodded with a smile, "The guards know the general situation. With your help, the Ming Dynasty will not be arrogant in our land for long!"
"Now please ask the guards to take your troops as the vanguard and march towards Kyoto as quickly as possible!"
"Hi!"
The Oda guard stood up straight, nodded heavily, and then left quickly with his samurai.
Soon, only two brothers, Ashikaga Takauji and Ashikaga Naomi, were left in the camp.
"Brother, if we let the Oda guard leave like this, aren't we afraid that he will do something detrimental to our Ashikaga family?" Ashikaga Naomi said cautiously, covering Takauji did not answer directly, but his expression changed from serious to gentle, "Third brother, the slap I just gave you must have hurt you."
"This is Big Brother's fault. Big Brother shouldn't have hit you. It was just to appease the Oda guards."
Ashikaga Naomi originally had some complaints in his heart, but after hearing Ashikaga Takauji's words, these complaints disappeared in an instant, and he shook his head repeatedly, "Brother is right, it's me who can't calm down."
"But brother, is the Ming army really that powerful? It actually took Kyoto with only 1 people, and captured the emperor and a group of ministers and nobles alive. Even you..."
Hearing Ashikaga Naomi's question, Ashikaga Takauji's expression changed, as if he thought of some bad memories, and said solemnly: "The Ming army did not take Kyoto with 1 people, but only 30 people. Just take Kyoto.”
hiss--
"30 people? You think that's possible? How did they do it? Is it possible that they are gods instead of humans?"
Ashikaga Naomi exclaimed.
Ashikaga Takauji shook his head, "Those 30 people are the most powerful soldiers I have ever seen. If it weren't for my five hundred personal warriors who swore to protect them to the death, I could have escaped."
"This... this is too strong. Fortunately, they only have 30 people now, otherwise we would not be opponents." Ashikaga Naomi is very aware of the strength of his brother Ashikaga Takauji's five hundred personal samurai. It can be said that all of them are He is a warrior who has experienced many battles and has outstanding abilities. There is no problem in fighting multiple ones.
But now someone actually killed all 30 of Ashikaga Takauji's personal samurai with only [-] people! If these 1 Ming troops attack in full force, are their 55 warriors really their opponents? Thinking of this, Ashikaga Naomi was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
But Ashikaga Takauji laughed at this time, "Third brother, don't be too panicked. I have already inquired and found out that not all Ming armies have such strength, there are only 30 people."
"As for the Oda guard, now is not the time to touch him."
"That's good...that's good." Hearing this, Ashikaga Naochi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Brother, what are you going to do with the Oda guard later? He is not an economical person."
Ashikaga Takauji nodded, "The Oda family has developed rapidly in recent years, and this Oda guard is the most promising and capable person in the Oda family, and his ambition is not small."
"If I hadn't slapped you just now and ended this farce, our army would have been disintegrated before we even reached Kyoto."
"Let Guard Oda serve as the vanguard. All he can take away are his most loyal and elite troops. The rest belongs to you and me."
Hearing this, Ashikaga Zhizao looked suddenly confused and nodded repeatedly, "Brother, I have to think carefully."
"But brother, when I was arguing with the Oda guard just now, his words alerted me."
"That is, what if the Ming army holds the emperor and a group of ministers hostage and asks us to surrender?"
Ashikaga Takauji said solemnly: "If the Ming army has already killed His Majesty the Emperor and everyone else when we enter Kyoto City, this has nothing to do with us."
Ashikaga's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Yes, as long as the emperor and others are killed by the Ming army, and we recapture Kyoto, then the entire Japan will belong to our Ashikaga family from now on, but our relatives are also in the capital."
Ashikaga Takauji said solemnly: "As long as we two brothers are still here, the Ashikaga family will be here."
Ashikaga Naomi nodded, "But what if the emperor is still alive after we take back Kyoto?"
Ashikaga Takauji became more and more gloomy, "Do you think this is possible?"
"Impossible." Ashikaga Naomi quickly shook his head, "The Ming army will not let His Majesty go. All we can take back is His Majesty's body."
Ashikaga Takauji nodded, "Yes, when the time comes, I want you to take the samurai loyal to my Ashikaga family and rush into Kyoto first. As for the Oda guard... just find a way to let him die on the battlefield."
"Listen to me, big brother!"
"Ah."
……
After Tang He and Ouyang Lun discussed it, they began to make arrangements.
Just as Ouyang Lun guessed, not long after they occupied Kyoto, the troops of King Qin of Japan surrounded them.
More than 50 million people! Ouyang Lun and Tang He stood on the city wall and looked down. It was a dark area.
When Tang He saw this, his expression did not change and he said in a deep voice: "Go and bring the Emperor of Japan over here!"
Soon, Fang Mingqian brought the Emperor of Light to the city wall.
"People below, listen, your emperor is in our hands. If you want him to survive, please quickly put down your weapons and surrender!"
Tang He’s voice echoed across the battlefield.
At the foot of the city, Ashikaga Takauji rode out of the army on his war horse and shouted to the city wall: "You must be Lord Nobunaga Yuwa of the Ming Dynasty. My name is Ashikaga Takauji. You must have heard of me."
When he heard that it was Ashikaga Takauji, Yuwa smiled and replied: "I know you, of course I know you. You are the bullshit general who abandoned your emperor and ran away alone!"
"You Japan is nothing more than a small island. You can only be king. You have to call yourself emperor or general. Don't you know that the title is too big and your life is not good enough?"
"Haga!" Ashikaga Takauji was extremely angry. Ever since he became the General of the Conquest of Yi, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.
But Ashikaga Takauji soon calmed down and continued to shout to Yuwa on the city wall: "Your Excellency Yuwa, as long as you let me, Emperor Komikado, open the city gate and surrender, I can guarantee your safety!"
"Otherwise, I will lead an army to retake Kyoto and save His Majesty, and you will all be executed!"
Faced with Ashikaga Takauji's threat, Yuwa smiled faintly and laughed loudly, "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm telling you, if you don't surrender, I'll start killing you, starting with your Ashikaga family. I'll kill the men first, then the women, and in the end I won't even leave any dogs behind!"
After Tang He finished speaking, he directly gave Fang Mingqian a look.
Fang Mingqian nodded, first took away the Emperor of Light, and then brought in an old man with gray hair and a haggard appearance.
"Ashikaga Junji, look who this is?"
Ashikaga Takauji and Ashikaga Naomi quickly raised their eyes and their expressions suddenly changed.
"father!"
"father!"
"Asshole! Let my father go!"
"If you hurt my father even a hair, I will cut you into pieces!"
While the two Ashikaga brothers below were insulting him, Yuwa directly kicked the Ashikaga brothers' biological father off the city wall.
After falling from the city wall more than ten meters high, the Ashikaga brothers' father turned into a pile of meat! "Oh! Sorry, my foot slipped just now."
"what!"
"Kill me! I'm going to kill them!"
