Chapter 811: Sakura in Hakata (2)
“It is rare to see cherry blossoms in full bloom, and those who see them will only miss them when the flowers fall.” Ouchi Morimitsu looked up at the cherry trees in the courtyard and couldn't help but recite a line of poetry.
The flowers on the treetops are broken, with scattered petals floating in the air, and only the ground is covered with withered cherry blossoms. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short, and when people see them withering, they can't help but suddenly remember that they saw them in full bloom as if it was only yesterday.
Under the cherry tree not far away, several warriors in full armor stood, holding the handles of their Japanese swords, looking eagerly at Ouchi Morimitsu, with anxious expressions on their faces. Those warriors were obviously not in the mood to look at the cherry blossoms like Ouchi Morimitsu.
Ouchi Morimi was not necessarily calm in his heart, otherwise he would not have subconsciously chanted such a poe

The Ming army's cavalry estimated that the Bofu Mountain extended about 20 miles from north to south and about 10 miles from east to west. To the south of Bofu Mountain was an even larger mountain range. The terrain of such a large mountain forest was steep and complex, and a large number of troops were absolutely unwilling to enter the mountain unless they had no choice.The main force of the Ming army, Sheng Yong's army, had about three infantry battalions and 17,800 men. They set out from the coastal camp in the north and marched roughly southward. In the afternoon, they approached the mouth of the valley at the southern foot of Mount Bofu. The march distance that day was about 30 miles.Compared with the Xiashanmen passage on the north side with high ground, woods and defensive fortifications, Sheng Yong naturally chose to take a detour with his main force and attack the Japanese army from the southern valley.Ping An's cavalry battalion had already reac

On the gray right wing of the Ming army, the dust trampled by the soldiers and horses mixed with the damp morning mist. Three balls of fire flashed one after another, like lightning in the clouds.Then the sound of "boom boom boom" was heard. In the Japanese army's formation about a mile away, a muffled sound was heard in a rice field, and water splashed up. Where the rice was overturned, a shell sank deeply into the mud.In the blink of an eye, a cloud of dust rose from the open space between the Japanese army's positions. A black round iron ball rolled on the ground, and when people saw it, it was already far away from where it had just landed.Almost at the same time, a violent "crackling" sound suddenly rang out from another place, followed by a terrifying scream. People nearby looked around and saw no shells, but the two rows of chevaux de frise in front of the formation had been damaged into a gap, and several bamboo and wooden fences behind them had a

The "rumbling" sound of horse hooves filled the air, and in the gray-yellow dust, the shadows of black arrows were looming, mixed with the "whooshing" sound of the wind. On the other side of the Japanese cavalry riding ponies, the horses neighed and people shouted.After a while, a Ming army cavalry here rushed close to the Japanese cavalry. The galloping Ming army horses kept passing by. Facing the slow Japanese horse soldiers, the cherry spears pierced the enemy soldiers' bodies condescendingly. The light of the sword flashed in the hazy air, and there were screams everywhere."Hiss..." A Japanese horse was hit by a cavalryman who was too close. The pony was knocked to the ground and struggled on the ground, kicking its hooves desperately in the air. The samurai on the horse had disappeared.The Ming army's cavalry swept through the Japanese cavalry formation one after another, occasionally beheading some enemy soldiers. More cavalry columns rushed in from

"Clang! Clang..." A gong sounded from the center of the Ming army. The mounted generals on the left wing turned their heads and saw several blue pennants of the center army waving eastward. The generals raised their heads and shouted, "Turn right, retreat!"Each hundred-household team held up a military flag with its number, lined up and ran, moving in two columns toward the square formations in the east.When the Japanese soldiers, gasping with their mouths wide open, ran towards the Ming army formation, the Ming army's phalanx on the edge had already run towards the center. Behind the column, in the diffuse dust, neat rows of muskets were facing west. Three rows of light infantry wearing wide-brimmed iron helmets and cloth armor seemed to have been waiting in line.The faces of the Japanese soldiers who were already about ten or twenty steps ahead could be seen clearly, and many of them had surprised and ominous expressions on their faces.The Japane

By the second day, the battle had long ended, but the Ming army's infantry and cavalry pursuit continued in separate directions. Sheng Yong led his troops towards the main road to the east, but there was no sign of fighting on the road.It started to rain again, the rain was blowing diagonally in the wind, making the view on the plain hazy. After the rain in the morning, this was the second time it had rained today."Heaven is not on Japan's side." Sheng Yong looked up at the raindrops and sighed with a complicated expression.Usually, warring armies are reluctant to fight on rainy days. Firearms cannot be fired when exposed to rain, and even crossbows will become debonded and damaged when exposed to rain. In addition, the ground will become muddy due to rain, making it difficult to march and mobilize, so major battles are often fought on sunny days.But for armies like the Ming and Japanese armies, the situation is different. The Ming army is obviousl

When Sheng Yong's memorial reached the capital, it was less than two months before the government troops to fight against Japan left Hong Kong.In Rouyi Hall, Zhu Gaoxu was personally reading the memorial of more than ten thousand words, and he was in a very good mood.(Your Majesty rules the universe, and his grace and power are spread all over the world. He has drawn up the outlines and governed all the countries. When he was the governor of Annan, some people made irresponsible comments in the court and the public...) Your Majesty rules the universe, and he has both grace and power over all the countries. He has designed the general principles and made all the countries have norms and laws. When the Jiaozhi Provincial Administration was abolished and the Governor's Office was established, some people made unauthorized comments inside and outside the court, criticizing Your Majesty for giving up the land.However, the rebellion in Annan was soon quelled, a

In May of the third year of Wude, the weather in the capital became increasingly hot.In addition to Zhu Gaoxu receiving the good news about the battle at Bodo Bay, a few days later, the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital came to the palace to diagnose the pulse and reported that both the concubine Xian and the concubine Shu had a happy pulse. The ministers in the court always said some words of congratulations while meeting the saint. Each of them only spoke once, but Zhu Gaoxu had to listen to it many times, and eventually he got a little bored.The situation is becoming increasingly stable. The content of Sheng Yong's memorial shows that there is no need to expand the war, which is consistent with the views of the court officials. Zhu Gaoxu already has two sons, and the imperial concubine is pregnant. More princes can also stabilize people's hearts.Zhu Gaoxu's walking pace was also brisker than usual. The entourage who followed him out of the mai

In the city of Chikuzen Kunisuya County, groups of heavy infantrymen of the Ming Army were marching in formation, not moving very fast. On the seemingly deserted road, the neat footsteps of the Ming army came and went one after another, making a lot of noise.The soldiers' uniforms and armors are complete, and such attire is incomparable even in Japan and among the samurai class. The sparse passers-by who couldn't tell the situation suddenly encountered such a group of people, knelt down on the roadside to avoid the way, not daring to come forward to provoke them.The Ming army did not arrest the samurai officials in the city; so Ouchi Sheng did not make any mistakes and did not go to see Yao Fang without permission.He stood some distance away from the road, silently watching the Ming army's appearance, thinking about something without saying a word.Ouchi Katsu did not participate in the great battle that took place in the Hakata area. He and some sa
