Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 513: Surprised or not, unexpected or not, like it or not?

Prince Huailiang has a big head at this time.

He didn't understand that his move to mobilize the tiger away from the mountain should be perfect, but even though Kusunoki Norihu deliberately revealed his whereabouts, and even dispatched troops almost blatantly, the prince of the Ming Dynasty never made any move.

He neither expressed warning nor asked for help from the general named Mu Ying in the imperial residence.

With the help of Mu Ying and the ministers, Emperor Changqing has completely eliminated the spies in the Imperial Palace. Now Prince Huailiang has completely lost his spy in the Imperial Palace, and he cannot even control the whereabouts of the Emperor.What should we do if the emperor takes the opportunity to escape?
He has begun to regret now. If he had known that they would ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, he should have taken a risk and assassinated the emperor earlier...

However, although Changqing is the downcast emperor, he is still the emperor after all.I am just a prince, do I want to blatantly attack the Imperial Palace?
That would turn him into a target of public criticism!

While he wrote a letter to report the matter to the shogun of the Northern Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, he tried to use his poor wisdom to break the current situation.After reading many military books and tactics from the Tang Dynasty, Huairiang suddenly felt blessed: Since the arrogant prince of the Ming Dynasty did not know the heights of the sky and the earth, then all he had to do was let Nanmu Norihu, who was pretending to be a thief, annihilate him directly!
Anyway, it was only a few thousand Ming troops, so it would not take much trouble to kill them.As long as the Ming army dies, Changqing will lose support.

Mu Ying in the palace has become a rootless drifting tree.After all, he is from the Ming Dynasty, how can he still devote himself to the emperor?
Moreover, that kid was so arrogant that he was completely indifferent to the surrounding troops of the Kusunoki family. He either underestimated the enemy to the extreme or had no understanding of the battle strategy at all.After Kusunoki Norihu is a famous general, can he still be unable to deal with such a kid?
As for Daming's reaction... The person who killed the prince of Daming was obviously a thief. What does it have to do with me, Huai Liang?According to Huai Liang's understanding of the Chinese emperors, the emperors of the Chinese Dynasty were very face-conscious, and as long as they were given a step down, they would often not go to war.

Even if the Ming Dynasty really wanted revenge, Huai Liang still had almost blind confidence in the Japanese military power.Even if the entire Ming Dynasty comes to attack, they will surely fall into disgrace just like the Great Yuan Dynasty in the past...

"Gentlemen, we have received the order from His Highness the Prince." We finally obtained the order from Prince Huairiang. In the tent in the mountain forest, Nanmu Zehu picked up the military equipment on the ground and issued the order to attack.

"We will launch an attack tonight! You must fight bravely and let these Ming people know the bravery of our Yamato samurai!"

"Hai!" the warriors responded in unison.

Before it was dark, the samurai and ashigaru of the Nanmu family hurriedly started cooking.According to Nanmu Zehu's order, they will attack the Ming army camp after nightfall.After everyone finished eating the rice balls, they began to recharge their batteries and prepare to attack the Ming army.

Kusunoki Norihu is more or less one of the few remaining famous generals in the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese country, who can barely handle it.Although I can't wait for a long time, I still remember to be cautious.He sent several "ninjas" who accompanied the army to explore the Ming army's camp, and the information they received was still the same: those Ming people still did not take much precautions and did not send out sentries. They only guarded the places where Juma and Lujiao were guarding. The fence formed, even if the ninjas were wandering within their field of vision, they did not move at all.

Just like looking at monkeys, pointing at them in twos and threes.

"Damn Ming people, they underestimate us like this!" Kusunoki Norihu was angry and happy at the same time.

When the Ming army's camp is captured, let the prince of the Ming Dynasty use the Tuxia seat to apologize!

When night fell, more than ten thousand Nanmu's troops left the forest and began to gather.Because most of the Ashigaru are night-blind, this night attack rarely had samurai as the vanguard.

They moved away the antlers and poured into the Ming army's camp. The Ming camp was still as silent as death.Nanmu Zehu just thought that the Ming army was all asleep, and did not feel anything unusual.He whispered and urged the ashigaru to go to the "Togaki" (temporary wall made of earth and stone) in the center of the camp, but suddenly he heard the sound of a clapper, and then countless blasts of wind came from the front. A rain of arrows invisible in the dark night fell on the Kusunoki family's military formation.

"There's an ambush! There's an ambush!" "Damn! Ming people are on guard!" "Light the fire! Light the torch quickly!"

The warriors shouted, and fire began to light up everywhere on the battlefield.Only then did they realize that the "Togaki" in front of them was actually filled with Ming troops. Under the instructions of the sound of clappers, they rained down arrows after bursts of arrows at the samurai and ashigaru.

"Don't be afraid! The number of the Ming army is not large!" Kusunoki Norihu rode on the horse and waved the Japanese sword. "Charge over, as long as we can cross the earth wall, it will be our victory!" Their number was twice that of the Ming Dynasty, and soon the warriors successfully regrouped.These elite warriors were not afraid of death, screaming and leading the ashigaru towards the Ming army's soil wall.

When they rushed to the foot of the earth wall, they immediately began to brave the rain of arrows and use the handles of their knives and spears to dig into the earth wall in front of them.But they soon discovered that when these swords and guns hit the earthen wall, they could only produce a shallow white spot.At the cost of dozens of people, not even a small hole could be dug out!

"My Lord! There is something wrong with the Ming Dynasty... Ming Dynasty's soil!" A veteran general risked his life and returned to Kusunoki Norihu's side. "That's not an earthen wall...that's a city wall built of stone!"

"What did you say?" An angry Kusunoki Norihu grabbed the elder's collar. "How could the Ming Dynasty build a city wall made of stone when they were stationed here for only a few days?"

"This must be just a temporary wall made of rocks and sand! Let the Ashigaru hit the gap filled with sand! I don't believe it. You can't smash a gap!"

"My lord, there is no gap! There is no gap!" The old man was almost crying. "The entire city wall looks like it is made of one piece of stone. It is stronger than the Imperial Palace in Heian Kyo!"

"It...can't be smashed at all!"

"Baga! Impossible!" Kusunoki Norihu abandoned the old man who had lost his fighting spirit, and under the protection of his personal guards, he rushed to the "Tuyuan" himself.Only when he got under the wall did he have to believe what the elder said.This "earth wall" is extremely hard, with no gaps at all. It is completely carved from a single piece of stone.

This was completely beyond Norihu Kusunoki's knowledge.This... what kind of camp is this?

It is clearly a fortified city!A fortified city far beyond recognition!

Within ten days, the Ming Dynasty actually built a fortified city!
Could it be that the prince of the Ming Dynasty was protected by Amaterasu!
"Are you surprised, are you surprised?"

Zhu Su was on the tower, gloating at the Japanese enemy troops who were obviously in shock.

The attack on the stronghold turned into an siege, and the construction was successful in just ten days. The unprecedented strong city seemed to rise from the ground. The blow to the Japanese army was almost devastating.

The Ming army came from a long distance across the ocean. In addition to soldiers and horses, the ship was almost filled with cement and gunpowder firearms by Zhu Su.In addition to finding ways to control Japan, this expedition to Japan also had the purpose of trying out the differences in tactics brought about by technological innovation.If the Ming Dynasty wanted to become the "ball leader", weapons and equipment that formed a generational difference, as well as strategies and tactics that transcended eras, were all indispensable.

Obviously, the defensive effect of "building a city with cement" is outstanding.

"Besides cement, I have another thing I want to test." Zhu Su looked at the Japanese who saw no hope of cutting the wall and began to prepare to attack by climbing.

"I hope you will also like this gift."

Zhu Su closed the folding fan and issued the next order.

In an instant, the twelve tiger squatting cannons that had been placed on the city wall were aimed at the city. As the artillerymen finished loading the shells, the flesh and blood of groups of Japanese people suddenly exploded like fireworks...
