Through the tunnels under Nagagawa Castle, the daredevils of the captive army, divided into thousands of teams, sneaked into the surface from the ground and surrounded the soldiers of the Edo monarchy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It can be said that the movement of the captive army was very large, and soon the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy discovered their traces, and at the same time realized that they were surrounded by the captive army, and it was clear from the torches held by the captive army that they wanted to attack.

"Oh no, they're going to attack, quick, quickly defeat them!" A few clever soldiers on the periphery began to shout loudly, and under their shouting, the army of the Edo monarchy finally stopped fighting among themselves, and began to try to assemble in formation, trying to rush out.

Seeing this, the daredevils of the captive army acted quickly, poured fuel on the wood and thatch, and then left the torches on them, and then killed the Edo monarchy's army, hoping to prevent the Edo monarchy's army from escaping with their own flesh and blood.

"Get out of here, untouchable!" Seeing the fire blazing, the army of the Edo monarchy naturally had no intention of killing, and just wanted to leave quickly.

The combat effectiveness of the captive army is indeed far inferior to that of the captive army, but what they want is not to kill the enemy, but to prevent the other party from escaping. Because millions of people lit the fire at the same time, the fire ignited very quickly, and after a rapid march, fierce battles with the previous captives, and later participated in the sacking of the attic, the army of the Edo monarchy had no time to escape, let alone extinguish the fire.

Under such circumstances, the fire spread unscrupulously in all directions, sweeping the entire square, and the raging flames devoured the lives of one soldier after another.

In the thick smoke, the soldiers of the Edo monarchy in the square could not even find a way out.

Embarrassment, panic, despair enveloped the whole square, some began to howl, some began to repent, someone began to yell hysterically; Someone screamed for help: Help, we are surrounded by fire, come and save us! Whoever saved me, I give him all the riches I have robbed!

However, the sea had separated the square from the outside world, and the flames were crackling, and now, even if the captives repented, it was impossible to escape, let alone extinguish the fire, and the captives now hated the army of the Edo monarchy, and even if they died, they would die with them, and it would be impossible to extinguish the fire, and they wished that the fire would be as big as possible.

When the fire was lit, the formation division stood on the high wall with an army of about 1,000 people, and it can be said that he escaped this catastrophe, but he still felt that the big thing was not good, because, on the periphery, there were tens of millions of captive troops began to surround him.

"Damn, this is a trap, withdraw, withdraw, leave the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!" The formation master gritted his teeth and ordered, "This matter is not over, when the monarch sends reinforcements, I will exterminate the people of these three kingdoms!" “

After the fire ignited the square, it burned again beyond the high walls, and the remnants of the Edo monarchical soldiers fled to the west. In order to seize the way to survive, they mustered up all their strength, forcibly surrounded the captive army that had not formed a tendency to encircle, broke a gap, and fled in a hurry.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!" I said with a sigh, if I were given an army of 10,000 people, no, only 1,000 soldiers, I would be able to drag the captive army to complete the encirclement of the soldiers of the Edo Monarchy, and at that time, the army of the Edo Monarchy in the land of the former Kamakura Kingdom would be completely annihilated, and the Edo Monarchy, which had no one to reciprocate, would not understand the situation here, and then the Yayoi Kingdom would be able to get enough time to strengthen itself.

However, I was afraid that I would not be able to hide my traces because there were too many people around me, and that if the army of the Edo Monarchy won a great victory, I would be in danger, so I only brought a dozen agile generals with me, so that the idea of completely annihilating the army of the Edo Monarchy became delusional.

And judging by the look on his face before leaving, I am sure that he will definitely ask the Edo monarch for more troops, and then our situation will be even more dangerous.

A week later, in Qianqu City, the formation master had just entered the city, and a young man in a brocade robe walked towards him.

"Country, Your Excellency the National Teacher? How did you get here? The formation master was suddenly startled and said.

Kong Lingguang is the national teacher of the Edo monarchy, and he is the younger brother of the Edo monarch, and he has always been with the Edo monarch, this time, how could he appear on the frontier of the monarchy?

Kong Lingguang silently looked at the embarrassed array master, Luo Renming, looking at his dusty and ragged appearance, with a look of pity in his eyes: "My good nephew, the king wants to summon you, now, you come with me!" “

"Yes, Uncle Shi!" Luo Renming responded respectfully.

The City Lord's Mansion of Qianqu City, the first army of the most elite personal guard corps of the monarchy, the Star River Army, patrolled here, pair after pair, and the defense was very tight.

At the castle lord's mansion, where the banner of the galaxy was flying, the monarch of Edo summoned his cronies.

Luo Renming knelt down and praised: "The criminal minister Luo Renming, please meet the king, may the king unify the east and the four seas will return to one......"

"There are no outsiders here, so these false gifts will be waived!" Seeing that his nephew and grandson were completely devoid of the high-spirited, unruly and high-spirited momentum of the past, replaced by dust on his face, blood splattered in his robes, and pain and sorrow in his eyes, the Edo monarch looked shocked and heartbroken, and at the same time felt a little relieved that he had matured through this battle.

"Thank you!" Luo Renming took a deep breath and stood up.

"Let's talk about it, how this battle was fought, how you lost!" The monarch of Edo looked at Luo Renming with a fierce look and asked him to personally report this unprecedented defeat.

Hearing the inquiry of the Edo monarch, Luo Renming only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, that group of damned untouchables, he actually let him fail so miserably, since the establishment of the Edo monarchy, on the battlefield, he has never received such a big loss, such a big shame.

However, as the commander of the army, he could not help but answer: "Echo King, our army once attacked the Kamakura Imperial Castle, and it was only a little short of being able to break through it. “

"Almost?" Edo Kunijun frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's a pity that in the rear of our army, that group of prisoners actually dared to betray." Luo Renming nodded and said.

"Just a group of captives can defeat the elite of the monarchy?" Edo Kunijun said in surprise.

"The criminals were terrified, I led people to quell the rebellion, but there were too many of them, and, I don't know why, they changed their previous cowardice and became fearless of death, so that our army was completely defeated!" Luo Renming lowered his head in shame.

Edo Guojun looked at Luo Renming in surprise and said: "Even so, you don't dare to be defeated so badly, it's just that the Rising Army and the Kyaukyue Army are all wiped out, and the four armies of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu are all destroyed?" “

Luo Renming raised his head and let the Edo monarch see the tears in his eyes, and then wept bitterly: "It's all my fault, I couldn't find out the tricks of the captives as soon as possible, and I couldn't completely control the army. Although I ordered them to withdraw from the square, due to the disobedience of the Rising Army and the Kyaukyue Army, under their influence, the others also refused to obey my orders, so that in the end, they were all trapped in the square by the flames, and there was nowhere to escape, so that the army was defeated! “

"What a Rising Army, the Bright Moon Army!" Edo Kunijun's eyes became fierce, "Renming, you can explain to me how Susa and Tsukiyomi disobeyed your orders!" ”

Luo Renming kowtowed again and again: "This is all blamed on the incompetence of the ministers, although there are some suspicions that the group of captives set up an ambush, but the orders issued are not strict enough, and there is no good reason, so that the two generals Susa and Yueyu do not care, continue to fight, and finally the army is defeated and humiliates the country, please give the king!" “

"Since you are guilty, it is not too late, pass the order, all the defeated troops, no one will whip fifty lashes! Luo Renming, as the commander of an army, failed to restrain the army under you, so that the army was defeated, the responsibility should be doubled, and you should be whipped a hundred times, you can be convinced! Edo Kunijun ordered.

"Thank you!" Luo Renming bowed his head and responded, the army was defeated, and he was only whipped a hundred times, which can be said to be a very light punishment, so he naturally didn't dare to say that he was not convinced.

"Your Majesty, from the news reported by the spies in Kamakura, I have discovered something important!" Kong Lingguang took a note and presented it to the Edo monarch.

"Oh!" When the monarch of Edo heard this, his expression became solemn, he knew that Kong Lingguang had never cared much about military affairs, but now he said that he had discovered an important matter, which proved that this matter must be extraordinary.

"Kamakura Kingdom, the eldest grandson of the Cloud Spirit Holy Land, Gu Yue? How did he get to Dongying? Edo Kunijun read the contents of the note, and his expression changed slightly, "Could it be that the Cloud Spirit Holy Land discovered the place where Dongying is, so it sent him to investigate?" ”

"Your Excellency has been worried, as far as I know, before March, the eldest grandson Guyue was ordered by the eldest grandson Yerong to go to the Penglai Holy Land on behalf of the teacher to celebrate Lin Yizhi's birthday! Unexpectedly, when he traveled to the East China Sea, he encountered a hurricane, and since then there has been no news of the eldest grandson Guyue, and now it seems that he has fallen here! Kong Lingguang said with a smile.

"Even so, you can't be careless, the importance of Dongying is not much more than the Holy Land Headquarters. Since the eldest grandson Guyue found out here, he can only blame his own bad fate, and pass the order to go down, and order the armies of Nandan, Maegen, Showa, Hitachi, Kawakami, and the six cities of Daikyo to dispatch, and be sure to take the three kingdoms of Muromachi, Kamakura, and Yayoi, and at the same time hunt down the eldest grandson Guyue; This was not enough, and ordered the assassins of the dark department to be dispatched, and the eldest grandson Guyue must be assassinated, and he must not be allowed to return to Shenzhou.
