Chapter 359: Takeda Red Armor? This is also called cavalry?

Owari City, raging flames swept through,

Amidst the cries of agony, despair began to spread.

As the Great Ming army rushed into the city, everything went crazy.

Standing on the city tower, Zhang Cheng watched the smoke rise, his eyes filled with mockery: "See that? This is the charm of war!"

"Slaughtering a city will bring down heaven's wrath! Lord Zhang!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Ding Xiu turned his head, looking at him with a calm face.

"I'm not afraid; I don't know how many people have cursed me since I've lived until now!"

Looking at Ding Xiu with a big laugh, Zhang Cheng pressed his hands against the city wall: "Assassinating a Regional Commander is a crime worse than rebellion—extermination of the nine clans is not too much!"

Watching Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu sighed helplessly.

The entire military camp was filled with Great Ming soldiers; even if Oda Nobunaga grew eight hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly!

So, to be backward is to be beaten, and a brutal beating at that!

Now Owari was experiencing the despair that the Amago and Mori clans had experienced back then!

When the burning flames had raged for an entire night, the entire Owari Oda clan had completely vanished into the long river of history.

To this, the Great Ming army merely treated it as a pastime.

Continuing to head toward the gold mine location, the daimyo along the way, upon learning of the Owari matter, immediately went out dozens of miles to welcome them, fearing any unnecessary "misunderstandings"!

Looking at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Cheng said: "You are very sensible!"

"Reporting to the General, the Imagawa clan has always admired the Great Ming; to be able to see you today is truly a great honor!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with excitement, Imagawa Yoshimoto stepped forward to explain.

And looking at the fawning Imagawa Yoshimoto, Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched: "No need for that, no need for that!"

Everyone says don't hit a smiling face, but the problem was, this wasn't a smiling face—this guy was fawning!

It made Zhang Cheng, a man without a conscience, feel embarrassed to take action; this was truly troublesome!

"I heard my lord needs the Takeda clan's gold mine; the Imagawa clan can send twenty thousand troops to help you conquer this place!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Imagawa Yoshimoto stated his idea again.

And looking at Imagawa Yoshimoto, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes: "You want to defect to the Great Ming?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto: I'll even be a dog, General!

Zhang Cheng:...

Ten days later, in the Shinano region where the Takeda clan was located,

Twenty thousand Imagawa troops and two thousand Great Ming soldiers arrived here.

When Takeda Shingen, who had already received the news, brought his men to meet them, he wore a mask and roared: "Imagawa Yoshimoto!"

"Takeda Shingen, surrender early; the Great Ming will not treat you poorly!"

Raising the fan in his hand, Imagawa Yoshimoto roared.

"Bastard!"

Looking at Imagawa Yoshimoto in anger, Takeda Shingen wanted to kill someone.

Because he never expected Imagawa Yoshimoto to be so shameless; in order to obtain Shinano, he had actually taken the initiative to defect to the Great Ming!

But did Takeda Shingen want to fight? He didn't want to either, because he wasn't sure he could win!

But the Great Ming army was here to rob the gold mine; what could Takeda Shingen do? He had to fight, right?

"Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain!"

Following the raising of Takeda Shingen's flag, a large number of samurai wearing red armor appeared.

Watching this scene, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes: "This is all this lord's money; he actually used it to buy military equipment!"

Twitching his mouth as he looked at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu couldn't help but say: "We haven't even gotten the gold mine yet!"

"Even if we haven't gotten it, it's still mine! Pfft, it's the Great Ming's!"

Looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained.

And just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, Imagawa Yoshimoto beside him said: "My lord, now?"

"What are you waiting for? Attack, I want to crush him in one go!"

Looking at Takeda Shingen before him and his ten-thousand-strong army, Zhang Cheng didn't take them seriously at all.

This was in Kyushu; if this were in the Great Ming, Zhang Cheng could have turned those ten thousand people into a sieve with one cavalry charge!

Don't think that the Japanese Warring States period was very capable of fighting; their capability was limited to the scope of "village battles"!

The so-called ten-plus-thousand-man armies—they knew clearly how many were real soldiers and how many were laborers! So Zhang Cheng's contempt wasn't strategic, but contempt in every aspect!

"Clatter!"

Marching forward in unison, the Great Ming army began to beat the drums.

Looking at the Great Ming army before him, Takeda Shingen roared: "Red Armor Unit!"

"Clatter!"

When a thousand-man cavalry charged out, Zhang Cheng was instantly stunned, and even Ding Xiu was dumbfounded.

Because this wasn't out of fear, but shock!

"This is also called cavalry?"

Opening his eyes wide in disbelief, Zhang Cheng was stunned.

Because this was like children riding dogs!

"I feel like fighting them is a bit embarrassing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu beside him couldn't help but speak up.

Clutching his heart, Zhang Cheng also felt he was bullying people for the first time, but in the next second, he gritted his teeth: "Fortunately, I have no shame, otherwise this time, I would have truly lost my old face!"

Enduring the urge to laugh, the Great Ming soldiers also moved forward.

And the moment the two sides made contact, the long spears were raised.

Watching the Takeda Red Armor bypass them, Zhang Cheng chuckled: "It seems they still have a few tricks!"

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng spurred his horse forward: "However, this is not enough!"

Drawing the horse-slaying saber at his side, Zhang Cheng immediately charged to the front of the formation.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, a samurai immediately raised the naginata in his hand, but before he could act, Zhang Cheng had already killed him first.

And watching this scene, before the other samurai could react, Zhang Cheng began to charge and kill all the way through.

Watching Zhang Cheng charge with irresistible force, the Great Ming soldiers behind him roared: "The General is mighty! The General is mighty!"

Looking at this scene in disbelief, Imagawa Yoshimoto was dumbfounded.

Because he had never imagined that a real Great Ming general would be so valiant!

You have to know, this was still the Regional Commander of the navy!

Ding Xiu: He doesn't think you can only fight on water, does he?

Zhang Cheng: On land, I can still fight!

"Kill!"

Raising the horse-slaying saber, Zhang Cheng instantly killed his way through the Takeda Red Armor.

However, for this kind of military merit, Zhang Cheng would rather choose not to have it, because it was too embarrassing!

"Press forward!"

Waving his golden fan, Imagawa Yoshimoto also roared.

And just as the Great Ming army and Imagawa Yoshimoto's men advanced together, Takeda Shingen's face had already turned pale.

Because he never expected that the Takeda Red Armor unit he was so proud of would be killed through by just one person!

"Kill!"

Roaring, the Great Ming army charged forward, beginning a one-sided slaughter.

Because the gap between the two sides wasn't even visible to the naked eye; it was a dimensional tilt!

Even the soldiers who were slacking off were fighting ten men each!

After one battle, Takeda Shingen not only lost the determination to defend Shinano, but his hopes were shattered.

Five days later, looking at the gold mine before him, Zhang Cheng stroked his chin: "If I write a memorial to the imperial court, Jiajing won't come here personally, right?"

But after thinking of this, Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Forget it, let's just catch more people first!"

And under Zhang Cheng's order, the Uesugi clan next door was unlucky.

Because Imagawa Yoshimoto was plundering their population like a madman.

But due to the Great Ming army's deterrence, Uesugi Kenshin didn't dare to say a single word.

Because Takeda Shingen, who had said a few more words before, was still hanging on a flagpole!
