Chapter 620: The Shocking Performance of the Wako
There are about 30 castles in three prefectures on the island of Shikoku.
Now, in just one night, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to capture seven cities, and the next morning, with the completion of the landing of all 60,000 Ming troops, Yan Yingyuan still took the way of capturing Kyushu Island, divided the 60,000 army into twelve routes, and quickly swept across Shikoku Island in a large area.
The main army of the Japanese defenders had been defeated, and the main generals had been killed, and it was difficult to regroup, and most of them stayed in various cities, and on average, there were only more than 1,000 Japanese defenders in each city.
Even if all the Japanese defenders were concentrated together, their combat strength would not be as strong as that of a regiment of the Ming army, let alone dispersed.
In the face of the encirclement and attack of the 12 regiments of the Ming army and the 12th Route Army, the Japanese were not only defeated but also defeated.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army had to purge the Japanese people inside every time they captured a city, it might not even take a day for the Ming army to capture all the Japanese cities on Shikoku Island.
But that's it, only on the first day, the Ming army also captured 22 Japanese cities, and only 13 were still in the hands of the Japanese invaders.
The Ming army was still purging, and a steady stream of Japanese prisoners were captured in various cities to ensure that these cities would not have the slightest resistance in the next ten years.
The approach and actions of the Ming army terrified the Japanese in the last thirteen cities.
It's messed up, it's completely messed up!
The last thirteen garrisons consisted of 2,000 men in each city, many of whom had deserted the city and fled.
These Japanese defenders could not effectively control because the lord was dead, and now the Ming army is getting closer and closer, they realize that their end is tomorrow, under despair, there is no hope, at this moment, the perversion hidden in the heart of the Japanese is completely exposed.
Almost all the Japanese defenders of the thirteen cities gave up on continuing to defend the city, and before the Ming army attacked the city, they vented first, and had fun in time before they died!
A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed into the city, broke in, slaughtered chickens and cattle, and looked like a hedonistic carnival.
Everywhere there were Japanese women, and everywhere there were wild laughter of Japanese soldiers.
When a regiment of the Ming army took the lead in cleaning the captured Japanese city and moved to the next city with most of the main force, the scene in front of them made them stunned, only to see that on the city wall, not a single Japanese soldier was seen, but the wild laughter of the Japanese was obviously heard in the city.
The sharp-eyed Ming soldier noticed that the city gate did not seem to be closed, and the soldier reported the situation to the regimental commander.
With a wave of his hand, several Ming soldiers rushed forward and pushed the city gate open.
Seeing that the city gate was easily pushed open, the Ming soldiers present smiled disdainfully, they had also seen such a situation, it must be the Japanese defenders in the city who abandoned the city in advance and fled. The Ming army, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, all thought so.
However, when they actually stepped into the city, they were instantly stunned.
As far as the eye can see, there are no less than five cases of women on the street, and the men who are women are all young and strong Japanese men in their twenties, and there are still Japanese military uniforms they have taken off on the ground, and some people have even only taken off their pants, and the Japanese military uniforms on their bodies are still wearing on their bodies, they are obviously the Japanese defenders of this city.
However, these Japanese defenders were busy with women and turned a blind eye to the entry of the Ming army into the city.
The soldiers of the Ming army had obviously never seen such a situation.
No matter how surprised he was, occupying this city was a must, and the Ming army commander calmed down and ordered the thousands of Ming soldiers under his command to disperse and assault and quickly control this city.
A dozen or twenty Ming soldiers formed a team, quickly dispersed and rushed into the city.
Along the way, they kept discovering that the original Japanese soldiers were women, and these Japanese soldiers with women were also simply, and when they found that there were Ming soldiers walking up to them, they directly raised their hands and surrendered, and the Ming soldiers captured them very smoothly.
A Ming soldier had just finished capturing a female Japanese soldier, and suddenly found that the original Japanese woman was lying on the ground, not only did not have the slightest pain, but even threw a wink at him.
The Ming soldier trembled with fright, and some of the disagreements that were there just now disappeared in an instant, and these widows were sure enough
The military law of the Ming army was strict, and women were not allowed to happen at any time, so since the attack on the Wa Kingdom, there have been almost no women's affairs in the Ming army.
In addition to women, there were also some Japanese robbers, who also ate and drank in some places, fell drunk to the ground, and were dragged out of the courtyard by Ming soldiers like dead pigs.
When the city was completely occupied, the commander of the Ming army found that there were no less than 2,000 captured Japanese soldiers, which shows that none of the original defenders of this city ran away, and all of them were wreaking havoc in the city.
The commander of the Ming army has not reacted until now, you know, strictly speaking, they are all foreign enemies of the Japanese Invaders, and it is just that the Japanese soldiers give up resistance, but before the arrival of the Ming army, they took the first step against the people in the city who should have been guarded by themselves, which is incredible! Could it be that this is what the emperor said, the nature of the Japanese is perverted?
Many soldiers of the Ming army finally understood why the emperor insisted on purging all the Japanese invaders, capturing men over ten years old and exterminating this race, it was really despicable.
The Japanese invaders had a population of more than 7 million, and when they attacked the coastal areas during the Jiajing period, over the past few decades, more than one million Han people were killed by them, and the lives of tens of millions of Han people along the coast were disrupted for decades.
Not only this regiment, but also the other regiments also discovered this scene when the Ming army attacked the last thirteen Japanese cities.
Even Yan Yingyuan and the commanders of the other two armies witnessed such a scene, and in the end, the 60,000 regular soldiers of the Ming army, from the army commander to the ordinary Ming army soldiers, were all amazed, and the Japanese were really eye-opening.
After a day, the Ming soldiers cleaned the last of the Japanese invaders, and the entire Shikoku Island was stabilized, and in less than four days from the landing, the Ming army captured 200,000 men over the age of 10, including the Japanese soldiers.
Also on this day, the garrison landed 40,000 men one after another, and completely took over the captured cities and these captured pirates.
The final performance of the Japanese defenders soon spread to all the garrisons on the island, and there is no doubt that the garrison soldiers were also stunned and amazed.
In the end, the news reached Daming, and although Zhu Ciji was stunned for a moment at first, he was not surprised.
Daming Daily reported this news extensively, and all the people of Daming also opened their eyes.
On November 11, Yan Yingyuan again began a large-scale landing on Honshu Island, the base camp of the Japanese state, with 60,000 regular troops of the Ming army.
Honshu Island was the largest island of the Wakoku and the foundation of the Wakoku Kingdom, and this was almost the last battle to destroy the Wakoku, and the battle to capture the island of Honshu basically solved the Wakoku problem.
