The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 586: Netani's Defeat and the Southern Dynasty's Destruction
This was Jiang Fan's order. No Hebrew speaker should be left alive. These people had committed many crimes, and keeping them alive would be a waste of food.
Anyway, Jiang Fan is just a word. No matter how high the status of Hebrew people in Japan is, the final outcome is death!
The defense line of 400,000 troops outside Gaoshan City collapsed in less than a day. With the 100,000 troops led by the Chu brothers attacking, they had no power to resist at all.
Even if they have rope guns, the problem is that rope guns are not as good as firearms. They have a slow firing rate, a long reloading time, and low lethality.
If they encounter an army equipped with cold weapons, they can still have an absolute advantage. However, facing the Yan army equipped with advanced weapons, the rope gun becomes useless and even more inconvenient.
Their grenades did injure quite a few Yan soldiers, but that was just injures. Most of the Japanese only had time to throw one grenade.
However, the power and explosion time of grenades were both disadvantages. When the Yan army encountered a detonated grenade, they turned around and threw it at the area where the Japanese were concentrated, which caused heavy losses to the Japanese themselves.
But some people were unlucky and were still injured by grenades, and some Yan soldiers died from grenades.
As for the enemy's artillery, they didn't have time to fire. Under the cover of artillery, their artillery was either destroyed or damaged. Or maybe they didn't even have time to fire. The artillery became a decoration.
It took almost two hours for the defense line of the 400,000-man army to be breached. The Japanese army lost nearly 100,000 men, and the remaining 300,000 Japanese soldiers all became deserters. They didn't even want to leave their positions.
The Yan army suffered about a hundred casualties and seven or eight deaths. This result left Jiang Fan speechless for a long time.
He was prepared to break through the enemy's defenses without any casualties, but even if he took all precautions, it was impossible for him to avoid casualties when facing an enemy armed with firearms!
After this battle, the Japanese southern court was completely destroyed, and the southern capital Takayama Castle was right in front of them.
As the army approached, the Japanese Emperor Guangcheng in Takayama City looked at the Yan army under the city, with despair in his eyes.
He originally thought that even if he could not win this battle, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Yan army and halt their offensive momentum.
But who would have thought that the 400,000-strong army was like a bunch of chickens and dogs in front of the Yan army. They were defeated at the first encounter.
He was trembling with fear at this moment, his heart filled with terror. Although he was in the city and surrounded by city walls, the question was, could these city walls stop the Yan army?
"Do you know where Governor Netani is?" He turned to look at his confidant behind him, his voice carrying a hint of sadness and a glimmer of hope.
Although he was at the end of his rope, he still placed his hope on his adopted father. He felt that his father should be able to help him.
"Your Majesty, when Lord Netani's defense line collapsed..." A trusted courtier at the side said with an unpleasant look.
Having said this, he couldn't continue speaking.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangcheng was so shaken that he almost fell to the ground. It was over... Although his confidants did not say it explicitly, he also knew that Netani had escaped.
Even his father had run away, who else could help him? Could he only rely on the last few thousand soldiers in the city?
"Give the order...open the city and surrender..." Although he was unwilling, Emperor Guangcheng knew that he was powerless to change the situation, so it was better to surrender quickly.
Otherwise, if he continues to resist, he will definitely die in the end.
Upon hearing this, his trusted subordinate sighed and immediately went down to make arrangements. Emperor Guangcheng straightened his clothes and walked downstairs.
Jiang Fan's army had just gathered outside the city and was about to start attacking the city, but at this moment, the city gate in front opened and dozens of people appeared at the gate.
They held up white flags and shouted "surrender" in Chinese!
Jiang Fan saw this scene, and a trace of sarcasm hung on the corner of his mouth. This is the Japanese, they are full of slavery, and once they are defeated, they will directly recognize their father and become a loyal dog.
However, Jiang Fan did not want to accept the dog, he wanted to overthrow the Japanese court directly.
Just as these people came over with white flags, Jiang Fan nodded to Chu Chengrui and gave him a few instructions. Upon hearing this, Chu Chengrui ordered his soldiers to rush towards the group of people.
After he spoke a few words to the group of people, there was ecstasy on their faces.
Then, some of them went back to report the news, and then, a group of civil officials and generals and Emperor Guangcheng appeared outside the city gate at a very fast speed. They walked towards Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan looked at Emperor Guangcheng and other Japanese people who were approaching with cold eyes.
Emperor Guangcheng led all the civil and military officials to kneel down, speaking words of surrender in Chinese. Jiang Fan looked at him and said calmly, "Where is Netani?"
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Emperor Guangcheng was slightly stunned. The emperor looked a little stupid at this time. Moreover, he looked more like an obedient dog.
However. Emperor Guangcheng came back to his senses, and a look of anger surged on his face and said: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, Netani escaped when the defense line collapsed!"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Fan frowned. It was just as he guessed. This group of Hebrew people would run away when they saw the situation was not good.
Once the defense line collapsed, there would be no way to save the situation. If he stayed in Gaoshan City, he would only be killed in the end. Jiang Fan had never taken any Hebrew prisoners.
Of the 20,000 Hebrew-speaking people in Japan, almost 15,000 were killed by Jiang Fan. In the end, the remaining 4,000 people had no choice but to flee.
I wonder where he can escape to? You know, Jiang Fan has seized all the ports of the Hebrew people in Japan, and all the warships have become Jiang Fan's possession.
However, Jiang Fan was not worried. At this moment, they could not leave the Japanese island, so it was not difficult to catch the other party.
Even if the other party escaped, Jiang Fan didn't care. What he wanted now was the Japanese island. He didn't do it specifically to kill the Hebrew people. Killing the Hebrew people was just a matter of course.
"Guangcheng, I'll give you two choices. First, I'll kill all of you and destroy your entire Japanese court. Second, all of you in the Japanese court will go to China and settle down!"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Emperor Guangcheng's expression changed slightly, and his face was full of hesitation and reluctance.
He surrendered because he wanted to recognize his father again. As long as he recognized his father, he felt that his status could be preserved. However, he never expected that Jiang Fan did not give him any chance and directly gave him a choice that he did not want to choose.
But now, he is just a prisoner, without any choice. All he can choose now is life or death! Everyone wants to live.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I choose two..." Emperor Guangcheng lowered his attitude to the lowest level and said cautiously. He was not sure whether the two Jiang Fan mentioned was true.
But if Jiang Fan really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have given him a choice. He might as well have killed him directly. It seemed that Jiang Fan wanted to play a trick on them, but he didn't look like he was playing a trick on them.
The others were also worried. But no one dared to resist. In the face of absolute strength, they did not dare to resist.
