Chapter 424: Using flames to honor the souls of the dead

"on!"

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

Amidst the loud shouts, the cavalry outside the door filed in!

As the most mobile unit, their mission is to quickly fight their way through the city so that the troops behind can follow.

And this cavalry is not ordinary, but Guan Ning cavalry. With firearms, they undoubtedly have significant advantages over traditional cavalry.

Exactly at this moment!

The cavalrymen were armed with bird cannons or three-eyed cannons and fired directly at the Japanese soldiers who retreated into the city!

The bombardment of artillery has already overwhelmed the Japanese soldiers. Although the power of these single-person firearms is not as powerful as heavy artillery, in urban combat, this distance allows them to play an extremely significant role.

At this moment, lead bullets roared towards the Japanese soldiers!

the other side.

Among the Japanese soldiers, the leader Chai Qi looked ferocious, and he was shouting and leading his troops to rush towards the Yan soldiers in front.

You must know that what they are facing at this moment is lead bullets. If it were normal, this move would be enough to call it stupid, but this battle is not ordinary, it is to defend Kyoto.

Behind is the inner city. Chai Qi knows the importance of this place. If this place is lost, the Yan soldiers will probably attack directly into the inner city today and then go straight to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor is there, and he must not make any mistakes. If His Majesty the Emperor dies at the hands of the Yan people, then Fuso will be completely doomed!

For this reason, even if you risk your life to fight, you must fight to the death to stop the enemy!

"It is a supreme honor to die for His Majesty the Emperor!!!"

"Come with me and kill them! Pledge to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor to the death!"

Chai Qi raised her samurai sword high and was completely crazy at this moment. The Japanese soldiers beside her were also doing the same at this moment. Everyone had a look of madness on their faces and roared towards the opposite side to kill.

On the side, Japanese soldiers holding bows and arrows were also constantly pulling the bow strings.

But even so, the densely fired lead bullets seemed to be shooting at the target at this moment. They were like the fangs of wild beasts, biting into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers fiercely!

Amidst the crackling sound of explosions, a burst of blood mist rose among the Japanese soldiers!

It was the blood that spurted out from the chests, hands and feet of many people after being shot. What was completely different from the Japanese soldiers was that there was a large amount of white mist in the middle of the Yan army, which was the smoke rising from the burning gunpowder.

The battlefield had such distinct colors at this moment, with crimson blood mist on one side and white mist filled with gunpowder smoke on the other, and these two colors represented the huge gap between life and death.

As more and more people entered the city, more and more people were shooting with blunderbuss. The Japanese soldiers at the forefront began to fall in large numbers!

Although the blood mist is getting thicker and thicker, it is being eaten away by the smoke that is gradually coming.

If we put it in an ink painting, it means that the darker color is gradually swallowing up the lighter color!

On the tower in the inner city, he saw more and more Yan troops coming in. Yamazaka Takuma's face became paler. He could already see that in addition to the cavalry, there were also a large number of infantry entering the city with chariots!

In this case, if we only rely on the soldiers and horses below to fight them, there is no doubt that they will all be killed soon.

And once they die in battle, the inner city will be directly defeated.

Turning his head to look at the soldiers and horses in the inner city, Yamanaka Takuma knew that fighting within the city would not work.

Although the enemy's troops are not as strong as our own, their long-range firepower is too powerful. The current plan is to open the inner city gate and bring the soldiers and horses from the inner city to support them, so that they can fight to the death with Yan's army!

Thinking of Akihito's order, Yamanaka Takuma chose to disobey it for the first time.

He chose to fight with all his might and fight the last battle to the death!

He shouted loudly:

"Open the door! Fight them to the death!"

Immediately, the inner city gate opened, and the Japanese soldiers rushed out of the city gate and rushed towards the battlefield where they were fighting!

Among them, there are five thousand Akihito's personal guards, all of whom are equipped with muskets. This is the only musketeer team left in Fuso today.

In the outer city area, in addition to the soldiers and horses led by Chang Yuchun and Xu Da who entered the city, the soldiers and horses led by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou also gradually entered the city.

The battle started just after noon, but by now it was already afternoon, and the sky was still gloomy.

But it starts to be different at this moment!

Yu Dayou led the Rocket Army into the city. At this moment, with his roar, the fire armors lit the fuse!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Two completely different voices sounded in the city!

That was the harsh noise made by the fire dragon Izuku and the sacred fire flying crow who were brought into the city. They were originally weapons in naval battles, but they could also be used on land!

The fire dragon heads with burning flames seemed to come alive, rendering dazzling colors in the dark sky. They roared and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers.

And the divine fire flying crow now no longer represents the "auspiciousness" of Fusang, but represents the anger descending from the Yan Kingdom. Clusters of flames spread across the sky, like stars descending from the nine heavens.

At this moment, the air seemed to become hot!

The Japanese soldiers looked at the flames falling from the sky, and many of them had their eyes wide open, obviously feeling in a trance.

But the next moment——

"Bang bang bang!"

The fire dragon heads with two ranges exploded above the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and so did the divine fire flying crows. They began to explode into countless rockets and scattered towards the heads of the Japanese soldiers!

Although Edo is said to be the largest city in Fuso, it also has the largest number of soldiers and horses gathered today.

But now, when these countless flames fall into the dense crowd.

That is from points to lines, from lines to groups, and from groups to groups!

The raging flames swept through everything and enveloped countless Japanese soldiers in an instant.

The flames burned the hair until they were curled into flakes, the skin was burnt and charred, and the armor was so hot that it seared the flesh.

"Ahhhh!"

A sharp howl like a ghost sounded, and the Japanese soldiers became confused.

Even if you have to sacrifice your life for His Majesty the Emperor, even if you have to break the jade into pieces, when the flames burn your body, the painful pain is enough to make anyone lose their rationality, leaving only their primitive instincts!

That means running around wailing, or falling over and rolling on the ground.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers were like a colony of ants burned by flames, beginning to completely collapse.

On the night when they invaded Jinling, Qin Ze once told Zhang Li and his daughter that they wanted Fusang to feel the first fire burned by the Yan Kingdom.

On the day when the siege of Linbin City was lifted, in front of the dying Song Ke, Qin Ze once said that he would burn all the fusang.

For this reason, Qin Ze took a truce last night and used the accumulated points to redeem a large number of rockets today.

He has decided that in today's battle, Edo will be burned with a blazing fire.

At this moment, on the outer tower, Qin Ze had already climbed to the top.

Seeing the raging flames burning in the distance and the Japanese pirates howling and rolling like wild beasts, Qin Ze took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and said silently:

"Have you seen all the heroic spirits who have fought for the Yan Kingdom?"

Opening his eyes, he solemnly said:

"Let this fire commemorate your dead souls."
