Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 742

At Lan Yu's command, the flag bearer immediately used flags to convey the information to the front line, and the navy formation immediately split into three groups.

The soldiers on the left and right pointed their guns at Hidaka Castle, while the soldiers in the middle bravely advanced and ran all the way towards Hidaka Castle.

Just at this moment, a large number of Japanese pirate soldiers poured out of Hidaka Castle again, trying to straighten the artillery and fire.

Unfortunately, before they could get close to the artillery, they were killed by the navy while running, and only a small number of soldiers escaped alive.

At the same time, Miyagawa Tomohisa, who was in charge of Hidaka Castle, had a face as dark as that of an African.

Although he did not go to the battlefield directly, he saw everything that happened in the artillery array just now.

After the first gunners were killed by Wei Wu, he was the one who ordered soldiers to leave the city to rescue them.

He knew very well that he could only rely on artillery to fight the Ming army, otherwise he would end up being massacred.

First of all, the weapons of both sides are not at the same level, not to mention that the number of soldiers in Hidaka Castle is far less than that of the Ming army.

There were only a few thousand soldiers in the entire Hidaka Castle, and a considerable number of them were supporters he brought from Kyoto.

However, the soldiers who tried to recapture the artillery twice were all wiped out, and he was helpless in the face of the current situation.

"Sir, the defeat is irreversible now. We can only evacuate. Our relationship with the Yoshino court is just a partnership against the enemy!"

"Their top brass aren't here now, they can't let us risk our lives for them!"

Just as Miyagawa Tomohisa was pondering how to respond, he suddenly heard his confidant speak.

In an instant, he suddenly realized.

Yup!

This is Kii, a territory under the Yoshino court. Their top brass are not here, so why should I fight?

Thinking of this, Tomohisa Miyagawa immediately gave the order.

"Pass on my order. The Ming Dynasty has invaded our country of Japan. Now it has reached a critical moment of life and death. We have no choice but to fight them."

"Behind us are our hometown and our loved ones. If we cannot defeat the Ming army, our loved ones will be brutally massacred by them!"

Upon hearing Miyagawa Tomohisa's order, the confidant next to him immediately responded loudly.

"Yes, my lord!"

But at this moment, Miyagawa Tomohisa lowered his voice and said something again.

"Call my personal guards and escort me out of Hidaka Castle immediately if the battle begins!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After hearing the last sentence, Miyagawa Tomohisa's confidant also responded in a low voice, but then asked another question.

"Sir, that Miike Koji..."

"He's severely injured and unable to move. He's just a burden now. Bringing him along will slow us down. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

The confidant responded and immediately turned around to convey Miyagawa Tomohisa's military order, mobilizing the Japanese pirate soldiers and navy to go to war.

I have to say that this confidant is quite capable. With just a few words, he made the Japanese pirates' blood boil.

Afterwards, when the Ming army was about a hundred meters away from Hidaka Castle, thousands of Japanese pirates rushed out with swords in hand.

They charged forward shouting and yelling, as if they were ready to fight the navy to the death.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that when they rushed out of Hidaka Castle, their general had already led his men to evacuate from the other side.

These passionate Japanese pirate soldiers only managed to charge and were then shot to death.

Instead of fighting for his life, he lost it first.

Without high-level command and with no advantage in numbers and weapons, the fate of the Japanese pirates was already doomed.

After a series of charges, leaving behind thousands of corpses, the Japanese pirates' soldiers finally understood one thing.

They were not fighting desperately but seeking death, so soon some of them could not hold on any longer, dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Upon seeing this, Lan Yu immediately issued an order that any Japanese pirate soldier who dropped his weapons, knelt down and begged for surrender would be spared from death.
