Chapter 516: The Past Robe Returns Here
The time has entered December, it is really a candle dragon perching on the cold door, the light is still open, the sun and the moon shine so much, only the north wind is angry in the sky.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent a number of samurai to guard the barracks of Li Mi and others, and Shen Yu and other water lion seven sons could not continue to spy on information, so they could only shrink in the barracks all day.
At first, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still didn't cut off supplies, but in the past few days, I don't know whether the food and grass were in a hurry or he was mean, and the food began to deteriorate, and even charcoal was not provided.
It's also a shame that they are all wearing shark skin and water, which is enough to keep out the cold, and Li Mi still has residual dragon blood in his body, Zhen Mi has the other side of the flower Gu seed, they are all monsters who are not afraid of the cold, but they are not too embarrassed.
Although Shimazu Yoshihiro pressed the Satsuma samurai group, as Xu Yi was imprisoned for longer and longer, the more the Satsuma samurai couldn't sit still, because the weather was too cold and there were too many sick people, they couldn't stand it at all!
After Xu Yi took Li Mi to see Shimazu Yoshihiro, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was even more vigilant about Shimazu Yoshihiro, and the material was completely cut off, and Shimazu Yoshihiro's people struggled all day long on the verge of survival of freezing to starvation, and they were also angry.
This morning, they finally couldn't bear it anymore, gathered a number of samurai, and began to go to the surrounding camp to grab food and charcoals!
The Japanese slaves did not have such fine and serious military discipline, they admired the law of the jungle, and encouraged the samurai to fight each other, and those who survived were bound to be strong.
Therefore, military discipline became very loose, and at first the major families also restrained each other to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
But now, Konishi Yukinaga and Maeda Toshiya and many other families are united, if Shimazu Yoshihiro hadn't received their secret support, he wouldn't have to fight anymore, and this cold weather alone would be enough to wipe out all the people of his Satsuma Domain!
Shimazu Yoshihiro also once expressed his loyalty to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi was indifferent, and Shimazu Yoshihiro was even more disheartened.
Because Sarufei Sasuke often came to visit, Li Mi was also able to grasp this intelligence information in time, but seeing that time passed day by day, no one from the Ming army came to report the news.
On such a winter day, the morning is also dark, the earth is covered in snow, the barracks are about to collapse, and you can't stand even when you get out of the camp, and it is no wonder that in ancient times wars had to avoid winter.
By noon, the clouds had finally cleared and the sun was shining on the earth, bringing a hint of warmth.
The Japanese warriors finally did not have to huddle in the barracks, and came out one by one, unloaded their heavy and cold armor, and began to enjoy the caress of the sun.
Others only wore crotch cloths and wiped their bodies with snow in public, while many more left the camp and went to the surrounding area in search of wild animals such as rats and snakes to feed themselves, but the surrounding trees had long since been cut down and burned for firewood, and they had to explore further afield.
The winter days were short, the sun was precious, and it was only two hours, and the dark clouds gradually covered again, but many soldiers did not return to the camp, because the search was too far away, and they could not come for a while.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi seemed to feel an inexplicable crisis, and he was furious with these soldiers, and he did not let any of them go, and was tied to the ice and snow to be punished.
When the soldiers saw these people clearly, their hearts were also chilling, because most of these people were samurai of the Satsuma Domain!
Their supplies were the most scarce, so they had to go out of the camp to forage for food, compared to the soldiers under the command of other daimyos, who were only scolded or beaten with a few sticks, and were tied up without making a fuss!
Shimazu Yoshihiro may have reached the edge of patience, but he knows that Toyotomi Hideyoshi has intensified again and again, in fact, he is also testing him Shimazu Yoshihiro, once he shows his hideous minions, Toyotomi Hideyoshi can use this as an excuse to completely eliminate him Shimazu Yoshihiro!
Toyotomi Hideyoshi is so favoritism, which also makes other daimyo have relatives, but no one dares to say more, and those allies who can't see the light don't dare to support Shimazu Yoshihiro openly.
Although Li Mi really wanted to take the opportunity to win over the Satsuma samurai group and fan the flames by the way, he was already under house arrest, and he was also powerless.
In the evening, the sky quickly darkened, and some of the Satsuma Samurai Regiment had already frozen to death on the torture pillar, although they could not wait for the time to send troops, but Li Mi still decided to start the operation, otherwise the Satsuma Samurai Regiment would be completely abolished!
Sarufei Sasuke still came to deliver the meal, Maeda Toshiya was thinking of Li Mi's favor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not give the envoys supplies, so he asked Sarufei Sasuke to send them every day.
Li Mi didn't eat it, but in front of Sarufei Sasuke, he wrapped some herbs and asked him to give them to Shimazu Yoshihiro, saying that before Xu Yihou was imprisoned, he told Li Mi to hand them over to Mrs. Shimazu.
Sarufei Sasuke has also been helping Li Mi deliver medicine during this time, so he doesn't have too many doubts, but he doesn't know that Xu Yihou has already left his petition here with Li Mi!
After sending Sarufei Sasuke away, Li Mi asked Zhen Mi and the others to be fully armed, waiting for the Satsuma Samurai Regiment to "rise up"!
Sure enough, in the first half of the night, a riot began outside, and Shimazu Yoshihiro's men rescued the punished samurai and killed several imprisoned soldiers, and the conflict began!
Li Mi was under house arrest in the barracks, and he couldn't know more about the situation, only to see that the guards outside the barracks became trembling one by one.
The sound of fighting was constantly heard outside, and the sound of muskets was also endless, and Li Mi knew that the riot had begun to spread!
For a long time, these Japanese slave soldiers were hungry and poorly clothed, and more people died of freezing and starvation than in battle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was unable to solve the problem of food and clothing, and the daimyo were also angry.
In the second half of the night, the guards outside the barracks suddenly let out a terrible and desperate cry, and then fell to the ground with a pop, and blood splashed onto the tent like a blooming blood-colored flower!
Li Mi was already fully armed, holding down the handle of the knife, and before he could go out, he saw several figures wearing robes and hats crashing in!
These people are tall and straight, different from the Japanese slave dwarf monkeys, Li Mi recognized them at a glance!
"Brother Li, is that you?"
When Li Mi heard this shout, he was also excited, and his eyes were moist!
He knew that Wu Weizhong would definitely send someone to report to him, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Huangting!
And Zhang Huangting's side was actually the eighteen brothers under Qi Chu's command, as well as Zhao Guangling and Xiong Tingbi, even Zu Dashou also came!
Li Mi took a step forward, hugged Zhang Huangting hard, and then hugged Zhao Guangling, Xiong Tingbi and others, it was not that he was hypocritical, only those who were outcast and fought alone could experience the joy of this kind of reunion of comrades-in-arms!
The crowd has already killed all the defenders outside, and Heng Zhi took advantage of the chaos to come in, and he is not afraid.
"Lord Li is really a master, the Japanese slaves outside actually killed each other, which just created the best opportunity for our raid!" After this period of tempering, Zu Dashou's arrogant posture has disappeared, and he has become more calm and atmospheric.
Li Mi was also not modest, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, not only Shimazu Yoshihiro's Satsuma Samurai Regiment, but also people from other families will be involved, and the riots will only get more and more lively!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were even more excited, but Li Mi said to Zu Dashou: "You just said that we were going to raid?" ”
Zu Dashou also nodded vigorously: "Yes, General Li Rusong personally led the army, and his troops have come to the city, and Li Sunsin on the Korean side has led the way, and has killed all the sentinels cruising on the periphery!" ”
Li Mi was mixed and continued to ask: "How many troops does General Li Rusong lead?" ”
Zu Dashou looked at Xiong Tingbi and thought that Xiong Tingbi was the commander of this operation.
Xiong Tingbi looked confident, and said to Li Mi: "This night attack is 5,000 people, but they are all people from the new Shenji Battalion and the 5,000 battalion, and the rest have already taken the ship of the North Korean sailors to intercept at sea to prevent the Japanese slaves from escaping by boat!" ”
"Five thousand?" Li Mi was a little worried, after all, there were more than 100,000 Japanese slaves combined, even if they froze to death and starved to death during this time, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese slave army dropped sharply, but the number comparison was too great.
But fortunately, it was the 5,000 battalion and the new battalion of Shenji that came, since they were able to come, it showed that a breakthrough had been made in the new type of firearms, and Li Mi was relieved!
"Brother Shibaoka, you go back and report to General Li Rusong first, let our people wait a little longer, let them fight among themselves for a while, it's best to have a big mess in the whole army, let's attack again, we can achieve the greatest effect!"
Xiong Tingbi's mission this time was just to rescue Li Mi and others, seeing that Li Mi had no worries about his life, he was also a lot more relieved, but he didn't expect Li Mi to throw a thousand pounds in four or two, make a hindrance from it, and provoke the Japanese infighting, which is simply an unexpected joy!
Li Rusong rushed thousands of miles to the battlefield this time, and it was also non-stop, and during this time it was snowing heavily, so there was no intention of a decisive battle, and this time he brought 5,000 people over, in fact, it was to drive the Japanese slaves out of Pyongyang and show the posture and position of our Ming Dynasty to fight to the end.
Unexpectedly, Li Mi has already made the inside of the Japanese slaves full of holes, and this time I am afraid that I will give Li Rusong a big gift!
Xiong Tingbi knew that the military situation was urgent, and he didn't delay, but he suddenly realized what Li Mi meant, how could he let him go back alone? So he turned around and said, "You're not leaving?" ”
Li Mi looked at Xiong Tingbi and the others, and did not hide it: "There is a big hero in this Japanese slave camp, his name is Xu Yi, you must have heard of his name, in order to provoke infighting this time, he did not hesitate to be in prison, so I must rescue him first......"
When Xiong Tingbi heard this, he immediately stopped: "It turns out that Xu Yishi is also here, such a big hero, we will go with Brother Li Xian to save him!" ”
Zhao Guangling and the others agreed, but Li Mi shook his head: "You have to go first, if you let the Japanese slaves see you, you will inevitably expose the intention of our army's surprise attack, and you must not lose a big one because of a small one!" ”
"We ventured in just to take you out, and how could we go back by ourselves!" Zhang Huangting was already extremely happy when he saw that Li Mi was safe and sound.
However, Xiong Tingbi and Zhao Guangling were trained in the army, knew that the overall situation was important, and also knew that what Li Mi said was reasonable, so they immediately said to Zhang Huangting.
"It's a big deal, let's go quickly, this guy has his own natural appearance, we don't need to worry about it!"
Zhao Guangling pulled Zhang Huangting back without saying anything, and more than a dozen people left in a hurry as if they appeared in a hurry.
Shen Yu and the others were all by Li Mi's side at this time, and when they saw the rescuers leaving, everyone didn't have too much worry in their hearts, because they knew that Li Mi would definitely have a way!
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Mi led everyone out of the barracks, and Shen Yu inevitably asked: "My lord, this is not the direction to go to the prison area......
Li Mi turned around and smiled: "Who can a few of us save, if we want to save Brother Xu, of course we have to bring helpers!" ”
"Helper? We are the Ming envoys, who will help us? Shen Yu was also full of doubts.
Li Mi said with a smile: "They won't help us, but they will definitely help Brother Xu!" ”
