Chapter 422: Troops Arrive at Edo
That night, although he lay on the hard and rough ground to fall asleep, Mo Sang still slept extremely peacefully, and even had countless bizarre dreams.
It wasn't until he was kicked awake that Mo Sang was gradually startled by the rumbles coming from outside the tent. He realized that today the Yan Army was going to launch a general attack on Edo, the capital of Fuso.
The soldiers took off Mo Sang's mask and took him out of the camp.
As soon as the account was paid, Mo Sang froze on the ground, his face changed color and was full of horror.
It was just one night, but the Yan Jun in front of him had changed greatly.
At the front, various artillery pieces were mounted on chariots, pulled forward by tall and strong horses. At a glance, Mo Sang saw that there were many types and huge numbers. There were at least hundreds of field heavy artillery pieces alone. Door!
The infantrymen followed closely. They were all tall and straight as pine trees, with unconcealed bravery on their solemn faces. They might be holding single-barreled bird cannons, or holding multiple fire cannons. These fire-armored soldiers alone were all powerful. There are twenty to thirty thousand people!
When these people started to launch a fierce attack, it was undoubtedly a thunderous offensive!
Then came the armored cavalry formations. These cavalrymen also held firearms and were equally large in number, probably tens of thousands of people.
In addition, there are ordinary infantry and cavalry armed with swords, guns, swords and halberds. Their number is the largest, which can be said to be several times that of those two arms!
The sky was not very good, a little gloomy, but when these Yan Kingdom troops wearing armor and holding sharp weapons slowly passed by Mo Sang's eyes like a torrent of steel, Mo Sang had to admit that he was indeed shocked.
Overnight, Yan Kingdom had so many more soldiers and horses? ! This is really shocking!
The appearance of something beyond comprehension always requires an explanation.
Then Mo Sang became more and more horrified.
He could remember that when he was sleeping soundly last night, more reinforcements came from the Yan Kingdom. They should have crossed the sea from the mainland, and this showed that the Yan Kingdom warships that came to Fuso before were far more than that number.
In the Yan Kingdom, there are more warships and more soldiers waiting to fight!
As the war progressed, reinforcements came from Yan State one after another, otherwise why would they have assembled these troops now.
Looking at some more soldiers and horses, Mo Sang became more and more frightened as he thought about it. This torrent was attacking Edo. How could the Fuso people there stop it?
Once we enter Edo, I'm afraid everything will be completely crushed!
At this moment, a group of people came on horseback. The leader, Qin Ze, had a rosy complexion and a relaxed expression. He was radiant after a good night's rest.
Looking at Mo Sang, who was stunned on the ground, he pointed at the army and chuckled:
"Mosang, with such a force, how long do you think it will take to kill Fusang?"
Mo Sang opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Half a month later, when Mo Sang headed to the South China Sea with thousands of warships from the Yan Kingdom, he would always recall that night, which was the last good sleep he ever had.
After that, whenever night fell, Mo Sang would always be anxious and even panicked to the point of being unable to sleep.
He knew that in some time in the future, the war that Taqi Country would face would be the most difficult one since the founding of the country.
If he could go back in time, he thought he would not choose to intervene in the war between Fusang and Yan.
-
Edo.
As the capital of Fuso, this huge city was designed based on the capital of Yan State hundreds of years ago.
Unlike other cities, Edo has an inner and outer city. With the increasingly fierce war and the advancing Yan Kingdom army sweeping across the country, Edo is now filled with soldiers and horses inside and out. .
In addition to the imperial guards of Edo itself, there were more soldiers and horses coming from all over Fuso. When the policy of attacking Yan State was launched, Fuso had already begun to expand its army. Therefore, compared with the dozens of troops in the past, In 2006, Fuso's military strength reached its peak.
However, as the battles continued, hundreds of thousands of people died at the hands of Yan's army in less than half a month.
But even so, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Edo today.
On the three floors inside and outside, the soldiers who gathered were ready. They knew that the Yan Army was about to attack Edo. In the early morning of this morning, Akihito rushed to the outer city area and gave the final instructions.
That is to defend to the death, keep out the enemy, and would rather be broken into pieces than to block the enemy outside the city!
Of course, after mobilizing before the war, Akito returned to the Kyoto Imperial Palace with his guards.
His Majesty the Emperor personally came to mobilize before the war. Naturally, the Japanese soldiers were moved with excitement and blood. They screamed that they would sacrifice their lives for the country and fight with all their strength.
But after the passionate oath, as time gradually passed, the pressure before the war was still a little breathless.
Since this morning, the sky has not been very good. The clouds are too thick, always covering the sun, and there are always large shadows on the ground.
The dappled sunlight can only sparsely fall from the thick clouds, and the inner and outer walls of Edo seem to be stained with large areas of ink.
At the back, even the wind seemed to have stopped, and the clouds seemed to become thicker.
In the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Akihito was pacing back and forth restlessly.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The long sound of the clock sounded, and Akihito stopped.
"It's noon," he murmured.
-
A group of scouts rode horses and rushed into the outer city gate in a hurry, bringing news that shocked everyone.
A few miles away, the Yan Kingdom army is coming!
Like a stone thrown into the lake causing ripples, the Japanese soldiers began to become restless.
On the outer wall of the city, Setogawa, who was in his forties this year, slapped his hand on the battlements with a ferocious face, and shouted:
"If enemies come here, we should kill them and let their bones pile up outside our city!"
"kill!"
The Japanese soldiers looked excited and roared angrily.
The soldiers on the city tower all looked into the distance. Although Yan Kingdom's soldiers and horses were not yet visible in their sights, they could already hear the faint sound of horse hooves.
First there was the sound of hooves, and then there was a hazy gray fog in the field of vision ahead. To be precise, it was smoke.
When the sound of hoofbeats became louder and louder, truly appearing in the ears of every Japanese soldier, they finally got to see Yan Jun with their own eyes!
The war horses breathed heavily and pulled the chariots forward.
The dark holes of the artillery placed on the chariot seemed to be able to swallow everything, and the cavalry and infantry following closely behind were ready to go, as if sharp arrows were about to be unsheathed!
On one of the chariots, there was a general with beard and hair flying, holding a spear in his hand, his face was excited and a little crazy, it was Chang Yuchun, he laughed wildly:
"You bunch of bastards, I'm here to kill you! Hahahaha!"
