Chapter 380 Challenge Book
The battle outside Tsurumaru Castle was a great victory for the Ming army, but it was the most terrifying failure for the Shimazu family!
The elite troops, which seemed invincible to the Shimazu family, suffered the most severe and terrible failure. Can Tsurumaru Castle still resist the Ming army?
An unknown premonition began to arise in Shimazu Kokusa's heart.
He listened carefully to the defeated soldiers telling Ding Yunyi's courage. As he listened, a stream of cold air emerged from Shimazu Kokuha's back.
Is there really such a brave general in the world?
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Shimazu Kokuha would never believe it... Lord of the family, Tsurumaru Castle can withstand the Ming army." Guaikawa Lake kept pissing off Shimazu Kokuha: "We have sufficient muskets, sufficient food and grass, and so many samurai who are willing to fight to the death for Lord of the family, we don't have to worry about anything... Ah, right... Ah, yes..." Shimazu Kokuha was a little lost and perfunctorily said.
Then, he turned his eyes to Miyamoto Musashi, who had his eyes closed and said nothing: "Master, what should Ding Yunyi do with such a brave one?"
"Kill it, destroy it!" Miyamoto Musashi opened his eyes: "The brave general can arouse the determination of the soldiers to die, but once the brave general dies, the once invincible army will inevitably be defeated."
"Then, I'm going to ask the master!" Shimazu Kokusa said respectfully.
Miyamoto Musashi smiled slightly and asked someone to bring paper and pen. After pondering for a moment, he wrote a letter and called a samurai:
"Hold this challenge letter, but look for Ding Yunyi."
Shimazu Kokusa was a little worried: "What if Ding Yunyi doesn't accept your challenge?"
Miyamoto Musashi smiled and said, "For those who are fond of martial arts, a challenge from a close opponent is the most honorable one. Moreover, I believe Ding Yunyi will accept my challenge. I said that the Ming army's victory in every battle is based on his personal courage. If he rejects my challenge, then he is cowardly and the morale of the Ming army will be hit the heaviest. This is also beneficial for us to defend against Tsurumaru Castle... Master Takasu." Shimazu Kokusa breathed a lightly.
No matter how brave Ding Yunyi is, he will soon meet the Japanese Sword Saint!
Shangkawahu blinked: "Mr., in order to ensure the solidity of Tsurumaru Castle, I think we should also find some people who are helpful to us!"
"Oh, who is it?" Shimazu Kokusa asked hurriedly.
Shangchuanhu said slowly: "I traveled around the world and recognized many masters. They were unwilling to come out to ask about the affairs of this secular world, but my friendship with them was very unusual. I was willing to help my family governors invite them one by one."
"I'm afraid it's too late to go in time..." Shimazu Kokusa hesitated a little.
Guaikawa Kou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, some of them live in the Satsuma tribe. When one master after another comes, Tsurumara Castle will become indestructible."
Shimazu Kokusa was overjoyed: "Then please give it to sir."
Guekawako, who was trusted by Shimazu Kokuhara, called Guan Qi to his side as soon as he went out: "Leave Tsurumaru Castle immediately."
"Does the lord really want to supervise the enemy for his family to invite those experts?"
Shangchuanhu sneered: "Experts, there are not so many experts in the world."
"What do you mean by sir?" Guan Qi became a little confused.
Gunkawa's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Do you think Tsurumaru Castle can really be defended? No, Ding Yunyi has such an elite army. Tsurumaru Castle will sooner or later fall into his hands. The plan to use the Shimazu family to complete the revenge can no longer be realized. Now it is time for us to leave here as soon as possible!"
Only then did Guan Qi understand: "Then where should we go after we leave here?"
"Japan is so big, are you still afraid that you can't find a few fools?" Guaikawa said with a gloomy face: "You will always find people like Tadorō Shimazu... On October 16, the vanguard of the Ming army arrived at Tsurumaru Castle in the following days. A large number of Ming troops arrived one after another.
On October 21, the Ming army completed its attack on Tsurumara Castle.
The battle at Tsurumara Castle is about to break out!
In this battle, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army was the first general of the Ming Dynasty: Wu Liebo, the general of Fujian, the general of the cavalry, and the guard Ding Yunyi!
Five thousand Ming troops, six thousand pirates, and more than 20,000 troops attacked Tsurumaru Castle.
This is the first time that Tsurumaru Castle was attacked by forces outside Japan. This is also the first time that the Hu Bengu left Taiwan and Penghu to fight.
No one can know victory or defeat, but at least the current Hu Ben Guard has already had a huge psychological advantage.
Just as the Ming army was waiting for the artillery to arrive and launch the final general attack, a challenge letter was delivered to Ding Yunyi.
This is the challenge Miyamoto Musashi gave to Ding Yunyi!
Three days later, at Tsurumaru Castle, the first general in the Ming Dynasty fought to fight life and death... This is what Miyamoto Musashi's challenge book was written.
The Japanese "Sword Saint" vs. the Ming Dynasty's No. 1 General?
Ding Yunyi never thought that this famous Sword Saint in Japan would openly make an appointment to fight him at this time.
Fight? Not fight?
"Why should I face the battle?" Huangfu Yunjie said loudly: "My Hu Ben Guards are full of food. Once the artillery arrives, they can attack Tsurumaru Castle. Why should I deal with this Miyamoto Musashi at this time?"
"Yes, I don't agree with the challenge." Zheng Zhifeng also said: "Miyamoto Musashi is known as the 'Sword Saint'. He has never been defeated in more than 60 battles. The town does not have to take such a risk."
"Miyamoto Musashi is really that powerful?" Ding Yunyi suddenly asked.
Then, he said slowly: "I don't think so. I heard that when the Shimahara Rebellion broke out, the city lord Ogasawara Tadashi and Shicong Iori came out to suppress it. Miyamoto Musashi and Tadashi's nephew Nakatsu Castle Nagaji also participated in the battle. After the Shimahara Rebellion, he sent a letter from Miyamoto Musashi to the city lord Arima Nakatsuma. It said, "I will not be hit by stone again." The meaning of this sentence is that Miyamoto Musashi was hit by the Ikki army of Shimahara at that time and was injured? Will the real sword saint be injured by a stone?"
Zheng Zhifeng was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this before.
Ding Yunyi smiled faintly: "I also heard that Miyamoto Musashi once challenged Marume Nagae. At this time, Nagae was already in his nineties and lived in seclusion in the countryside with a few disciples. The two did not do it directly. Nagae scared Miyamoto Musashi with a sword drawing action... All his subordinates knew that Zongzhen had never looked down on the Japanese from the bottom of his heart. No matter who the other party was, as long as they were Japanese, even if they were the so-called "Sword Saint". Zongzhen never took it seriously.
Ding Yunyi seemed to be thinking: "Miyamoto Musashi challenged me because she believed that I would definitely face the challenge. Why? The war is imminent, and if I avoid the war at this time, the Japanese will definitely make a big splash. Ding Yunyi, in front of Miyamoto Musashi, did not even have the courage to face the battle. Where can I maintain the majesty of my Ming soldiers? This will only increase the confidence of the Japanese and reduce the morale of our army. Therefore, I must take on this battle. I must go, and I must win!"
As he said that, he asked, "When will all our military artillery arrive?"
"It will take about three or four days to return to the head town!"
"Okay!" Ding Yunyi no longer hesitated: "Go and tell the people sent by Miyamoto Musashi, three days later, Tsurumaru City will be killed in life and death!"
Ding Yunyi's idea has been made, and there is no possibility of any change!
And his subordinates also became excited at this time.
Adults want to challenge Japan's No. 1 Sword Saint. Although there are still people who have objections, this is a big event that is enough to make people excited!
Soon, the entire Hu Ben Guard soldiers also heard about this. The integrated military camp was excited about it.
Ding Huben fights against the Japanese Sword Saint! What an expectant thing?
However, the only person involved who was not excited was Ding Yunyi!
He acted carelessly in front of anyone, but as long as he was in his own heart, he did not underestimate the decisive battle at all.
How many times have he heard of Miyamoto Musashi's name? With his own abilities, will he be his opponent? His personal life and death are not important. The question is what impact will it have on the army once it is defeated?
"Main Town, are you considering the final battle in three days?"
Ding Yunyi looked back and nodded silently. This brother who had lived and died with him countless times on the battlefield knew his thoughts best:
"I never took the battle on the battlefield to heart, but like the decisive battle three days later, I was worried about what impact it would have on morale if I lost."
Huangfu Yunjie was silent: "Have you heard of Chengying Sword?"
Ding Yunyi shook his head.
Huangfu Yunjie said lightly: "It is an exquisite and elegant sword. In the past, Wei Heizhu killed Qiu Bingzhang due to personal grudges. Qiu Bingzhang's son Lai Dan was ready to avenge his father. Lai Dan was very brave, but his body was very weak. He counted rice grains to eat and could walk along the wind. Although he was angry, he could not raise his weapons to take revenge. He was unwilling to borrow the power of others and vowed to kill Hei Zhang with his own sword. Wei Heizhu's ambition was stronger than everyone else, and his strength could resist one hundred enemies. His muscles, bones, skin and flesh were not something that ordinary people could resist. He stretched his neck to welcome the knife.
Cut, open your chest to receive the arrow, the blade of the sword was damaged and bent, but his body was not at all touched. Relying on his own ability and strength, he regarded Laidan as a bird that had just emerged from the shell. Laidan's friend Shin said: 'You resent the black egg to the extreme, and the black egg underestimates you too much. What are you going to do?' Laidan said: 'I heard that the ancestors of Kong Zhou of Wei received the sword of the emperor of the Yin Dynasty. A child wearing it and repelled the officers and soldiers of the three armies. Why don't you ask him?'"
He continued silently, "So he went to Weiguo, met Kong Zhou, and took the great gift of slaves, asking him to mortgage his wife and children to him, and then talk about what to ask for. Kong Zhou said, "I have three swords, I can choose, but I can't kill anyone. Let's talk about their situation first. A sword is called Hanguang, and I can't see it, and I don't think it exists with it. When it touches an object, you can't feel that the object has a substance, and it doesn't feel that it passes through the body. Another sword is called Chengying, in the morning, the sky is
When it is about to be bright or when it is dark in the evening, look north and look at it. It seems that something exists, but it cannot see its shape clearly. When it touches an object, it clearly sounds. It passes through its body without feeling pain. Another sword is called Xiaolian. During the day, you can see its shadow but not the light. At night, you can see its light but not the shape. When it touches its body, it passes by in a click, and it closes up again as soon as it passes. Although you can feel the pain, the blade
There was no trace of blood on it. These three swords have been passed down for thirteen generations and have not been used. They are kept in the box and have never been opened... Speaking of this, Huangfu Yunjie smiled slightly: "Lai Dan said: 'Even if this is the case, I still have to borrow the second most.' So Kong Zhou returned his wife and children to him, and fasted with him for seven days. In a half-clear and half-cloud weather, he knelt down and gave him the second most lasting sword. After thanking him twice, he accepted the sword and returned home. From then on, he took it.
He followed the black egg with a sword. One day, Black egg was drunk and lying under the window. Lai Dan cut the black egg three times from his neck to his waist, but the black egg was not aware of it. Lai Dan thought the black egg was dead, so he hurriedly left, but he ran into the black egg's son at the door, so he cut him three times with the sword, as if he had cut into the void. The black egg's son smiled and said, "Why are you waving to me foolishly three times?" Lai Dan understood that the sword really couldn't kill anyone, so he lamented and went home... Ding Yunyi seemed to understand something.
Huangfu Yunjie looked up and said, "I just talked to Zheng Zhifeng. Although Miyamoto Musashi was undefeated in battles of more than 60 years old, they were all decisive battles that took place before he was twenty-nine years old. After he was twenty-nine years old, he rarely fought with others. A swordsman who had not fought with others for more than twenty years, I think his sword was probably rusted, right?"
Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "It's not his sword that rusts, it's his heart."
Huangfu Yunjie nodded: "Yes, his heart has rusted. Maybe his understanding of kendo has exceeded that of the general town, but his experience of killing is far from that of the general town. In recent years, there have been few days that have not been spent on the battlefield. Killing is really an ordinary thing for the general town."
Kendo is different from killing.
Although Miyamoto Musashi is known as the "Sword Saint", he has not fought with anyone for more than 20 years. Just like the "Sword of Chengsha", he has lost his aura and can only play with it and can never kill anyone again!
