Chapter 996 Typhoon
Of course, Ashikaga Yoshitsuki would not live and die with Kyoto Castle. When he saw the other party sneaking and suddenly entered the Miyagi and closed the gate, Ashikaga Yoshitsuki knew what the other party was doing.
Then, Ashikaga Yoshitsutsu received a report and a fire broke out on all sides!
Who released the fire? Suddenly, Ashikaga Yoshitsune realized that it was definitely the Ming army! Everything became clear immediately. The Ming army created a massacre in Kyoto City and then left.
After the Ming army left, our side came in. The Ming army was definitely not scared away by our side, but had a new trick. This trick was to burn all our troops to death in Kyoto City!
This idea is really vicious! Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshitsuki looked at the closed-eye palace gate. The stubborn Emperor Murakami could not put the interests of the entire island country first. How could such a person have narrow eyes achieve great things!
Ashikaga Yoshitsuki spitted towards the palace gate, and immediately led his troops to the nearest Xicheng Gate. From there, he left the city first. At the same time, he sent more than a dozen commanders to send orders to the troops that are still fighting, retreat first! Let's talk about it when the fire is extinguished.
Ashikaga Yoshitsuki didn't think about putting out the fire. Since Emperor Murakami didn't cooperate, why should he do this meaningless thing?
At the last moment, Ashikaga Yoshitsuki was only concerned about his own army.
When he rushed to the vicinity of the Xicheng Gate with his men, he was already scorched by the heat wave.
The firelight in the sky appeared in front of them, and everyone showed fear on their faces.
If they want to rush out of the fire, they will definitely be burned to ashes.
what to do?
Ashikaga Yoshitsuki bit his teeth and thought, until now, he didn't have to think about it. It must have been the Ming army. Unexpectedly, he was still fooled by planning his own side and side. Is Kyoto his last burial place?
"General, you can use the art of earth escape to help the general escape from here." At this moment, a ninja next to Yoshikito Ashikaga said.
There are fires on the ground, so they cannot go out of the fire, and they cannot fly over from the sky. The only choice is to go from the ground.
Ashikaga Yoshitsuki nodded, and the ninja immediately took out his tools and quickly dug them on the ground.
If there were ready-made holes or had been prepared before this, the speed would be very fast. But now, it took quite a while to dig out a tunnel out of thin air. Watching the ninja gradually disappear on the ground, then a few more people went down to transport the soil continuously, Ashikaga Yoshitsune could only wait.
The fire was getting closer and closer, and Ashikaga Yoshitsune's heart was getting more and more nervous. Now, he could only bet that his generals were digging fast enough to dig the tunnel before the fire burned here. Otherwise, the consequences would be very terrible for them.
Suddenly, he felt a feeling of being blown by the wind on his face. Yes, it was the wind blowing from the west! Suddenly, Ashikaga Yoshikito was shocked.
At this critical moment, the wind actually blew!
When the wind blew, the flames suddenly whizzed, and the entire houses burned faster.
The strong wind came fiercely, and with an incredible speed, it brought the burning flame several feet high.
Typhoon! In an instant, Ashikaga Yoshitsuki had the urge to die. At this most dangerous moment, a typhoon actually broke out. With the typhoon, the fire could not be extinguished at all. It would have to burn the entire Kyoto!
Although there will be rain when there is a typhoon, it depends on when the rain will come.
Almost in a flash, the fire came to Ashikaga Yoshinori.
At this time, the underground ninja was still a while before digging through the tunnel.
"General, hurry up into the tunnel!" said a guard.
Entering the tunnel? Ashikaga Yoshitsuki shook his head. At this time, when entering the tunnel, it was really dead. The tunnel had not been dug through, and the earth could not be transported out when the fire burned. When the fire broke out, it was roasted to death.
"Notify the ninja, don't dig the tunnel, follow me immediately." Ashikaga Yoshinobu turned his horse's head and began to walk back.
There are fire everywhere, where to go? The guards are unclear, but now, there is no other choice, so they can only follow Ashikaga Yoshitsune.
Ashikaga Yoshikito knew in his heart that there was only one place to survive the fire, the rivers in Kyoto!
Water can overcome fire. Now that it is a big fire, we need to find a place that can overcome fire. There is only water. When you get into the river, no matter how big fires start around you, it will be safe and sound. When the fire is extinguished, we will talk about it then!
Ashikaga Yoshitsuki took his men to the nearest river, and then began to crazily dismantle the surrounding houses and catch fire. There was something to burn. The surrounding houses were demolished. How could they burn without anything? If they really burned, they would jump into the water and they could temporarily avoid death.
While Ashikaga Yoshitsuki was preparing frantically, Murakami finally gave in and agreed to leave the palace and Kyoto Castle for the time being.
However, as soon as I left the palace, I was greeted with a strong cold wind, which blew the roof of the Murakami carriage to the sky.
It is very difficult to travel in such a strong wind, but Emperor Murakami was extremely happy.
This strong wind is a typhoon, which means there will be heavy rain. This heavy rain is to save the fire in Kyoto!
So, when Murakami thought of this, he immediately changed his plan and returned to the palace, waiting for the rain to come, and waiting for the fire to be put out.
No matter how Kono and others persuaded him, Murakami did not change his mind. So Kono could only watch the fire raging in the strong wind and burned into the palace at any time, but there was no countermeasure.
At this time, the troops of the Northern and Southern Dynasties who were fighting had already found fires pounced on them. The people who were still fighting had no intention of fighting at this time. They ran around in panic, hoping to find a safe place.
Although Ashikaga Yoshitsutsu has sent people to send messages to various troops, at this time, there is panic everywhere and it is not so easy to find his own troops.
The entire Kyoto City is in horror.
Outside the city.
The wind was strong, and the entire cavalry unit was still standing, and even the war horses were not affected by the cold wind at all.
Chen Baipu was beside Chang Yuchun and said with some concern: "General Chang, this time it is probably a typhoon. The wind will be very strong. In a while, our army may be invaded. Let's find a place to avoid it first."
Typhoons are not fun. Even in Central Earth, the people on the coast of the Central Plains are often affected by typhoons. Once the typhoon passes, even huge trees will rise from the ground, not to mention people, and will be swept into the sky at any time.
Chang Yuchun lived in the north for a long time and had almost never stayed in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, he did not know enough about the typhoons along the coast.
After hearing Chen Baipu's words, Chang Yuchun finally stopped insisting: "Find a suitable bunker on the spot and fix a military tent."
There are also farmers outside the city, but there are not many, not enough for this army to station, so tents have to be used.
It is not a very simple thing to erect a tent in the strong wind. At this time, the sailors showed extraordinary skills.
For sailors, they often floated on the sea and fought with typhoons. They were so familiar. With their help, the troops finally prepared all the hiding rainproof places.
In the tent, Chen Baipu said: "General, such a typhoon is likely to rain in a while. It seems that it is impossible for us to burn the entire Kyoto City."
Chen Baipu has been in Jiangnan for many years and is very familiar with this. There will be heavy rainstorms. Although the fire in Kyoto is now soaring into the sky, the next thing will be heavy rainstorms, and the fires will be extinguished.
Chang Yuchun stood at the door of the tent, where there was still the light of a fire, and the light enveloped his body. He said calmly: "Just go down. After getting down, we will rush into the city again. In short, none of them can escape!"
"General, we have already slaughtered too much. Look, if the army in the city was not burned to death in this fire, what if they were released?" Chen Baipu said.
There are too many killings, and it is enough to establish authority. This heavy rain may be God's hint.
Chen Baipu thought so, and now, only Chen Baipu dares to say it in person.
"No, this army is the last force of the island country, and they cannot be allowed to live." Chang Yuchun answered very straightforwardly.
When Chang Yuchun said this, his tone was cold, but Chen Baipu was not scared by him and continued: "General, our silver mountain still needs a lot of labor. These troops are the best labor. Isn't it better to let these prisoners of war mining for us than killing them?"
Hearing this, Chang Yuchun nodded: "Well, you can consider it."
Chen Baipu felt relieved.
After a stick of incense, heavy rain finally poured down.
The raindrops as big as beans hit the tent, and you can hear that it is God's anger from inside the tent.
However, just in this incense stick, just before the heavy rain fell, most of the Kyoto City had been burned down with the strong wind.
Chang Yuchun heard the sound of rain outside and suddenly asked, "Our army is not stationed in low-lying places, right?"
"There is a branch to the south." said a general.
"Immediately order them to withdraw from their base, the faster the better!" Chang Yuchun said.
In the heavy rain, the messenger left urgently.
In the city of Kyoto, the heavy rain from the sky made the people who were still alive cheer and cheered. They couldn't imagine that they had survived. In this fire, many people were burned to death, but they were still alive. The heavy rain fell from the sky, and this was the gods protecting my island country! Murakami's face was full of excitement in the palace: "Neither the Northern Dynasties nor the Ming Dynasty could defeat the orthodox of our island country! I am the monarch of the island country!"
