1274 What about the Emperor?
I saw in the distance, and sure enough, a cavalry army came straight to the battlefield, taking the lead with a dragon flag, hunting in the wind. The knights' outfits are all the ones that wear lightning rods. Just by looking at it, you can recognize that this is Jianyu.
The most important thing is that this cavalry army is extremely fierce in attack, and it has that kind of indomitable momentum. Behind him is the dust, or the reason that there are too many cavalry, the follow-up cavalry can no longer see clearly, and can only see that there are constantly cavalry coming out of the dust, and there seems to be an endless trend.
When the Japanese general saw it, the rest of the people also saw it. Of course, Dolgon, who was always paying attention, noticed it for the first time, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to shout in the Japanese language: "The imperial nephew is here, and Hauge's reinforcements have arrived......"
Under the city of Kobe, the killing is fierce, but the current movement makes both sides of the fight stop.
Subsequently, the Catholic Army and the army under Toyotomi Kunimatsu suddenly understood that it was indeed the arrival of reinforcements, and they were all overjoyed, and they suddenly burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness. And those Tokugawa shogunate troops, seeing that they didn't know how many Jianyu cavalry soldiers were killed, they all panicked one by one, and it was already good to be able to exert five points in combat effectiveness.
Since the Jianyu landed in the Japanese Kingdom, its strong combat effectiveness has already penetrated into the hearts of the Japanese people, so many cavalry troops have been killed at this time, can this battle still be fought? Now this situation surprised the Tokugawa shogunate army, who originally thought that they had won, and panic suddenly bred from the bottom of their hearts, and they became more and more panicked.
In the end, it is not known that those Tokugawa shogunate troops saw the bad opportunity and began to retreat first, and then immediately caused a full-scale avalanche of other Tokugawa shogunate armies.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, nothing more than that!
Miyamoto Musashi saw that Dolgon was not far from him, but he didn't have the opportunity to harvest the heads again, with great unwillingness in his heart, but he didn't dare to go up to give the heads, so he hurriedly took a few of his apprentices and scrambled to retreat.
For this kind of war, Jianyu should not be too familiar with fighting. This cavalry army quietly reduced its speed a little, and drove the Tokugawa shogunate army to flee for their lives, picking up the kills that were behind, and picking up the stubborn kills, just to prevent the fleeing Tokugawa shogunate army from stopping, not to let them have a chance to breathe, and not to let them have a chance to reorganize the army.
As a result, on the road from Kobe to Osaka, it became a bloody road, a road paved with a sea of corpses and blood. Those allies of the remnants of the Manchu Qing who still had strength, forgetting their exhaustion, followed behind to chase and pick up leaks, and grab some loot by the way. There is no way, they are all dying of poverty.
Dolgon, on the other hand, did not pursue, he looked around, and although the battle had been won, his heart was very heavy. The battle out of the city is the most intense, even if his men are well-equipped and extremely brave, but after all, there are too many Tokugawa shogunate troops, and the two thousand Qing elites who brought them out of the city can still stand in the end, and there are less than a thousand people in sight, and many of them are wounded.
Only Dolgon himself knew that the cavalry that suddenly appeared outside the city was not Hauge's army at all, but the cavalry of about 1,000 men in Ingordai. The reason why the movement is so big is entirely because of a little trick, the horses of the follow-up cavalry, dragging branches, bringing up more dust, and creating greater movement.
Generally speaking, this kind of desperate rebirth and defeat can be turned into a victory, thanks to the fact that these prisoners are veterans, and Ying Ordai is also an excellent general, who knows how to cooperate and can adopt the most correct tactics on the battlefield at the right time. However, after this battle, Dolgon estimated that it would be good to have 1,500 Qing troops in his hands.
Such a small number of troops is the reason why his heart is extremely heavy. With this amount of troops, not to mention that if the vanished Hauge reappears, he will not be able to suppress him at all. Even those allies of the Wa Kingdom will not be in awe of many people. Even if the Tokugawa shogunate army is defeated and this Japanese country is occupied, it is really difficult to say who will have the final say at that time.
Thinking so, Dorgon immediately had a plan to deal with it, at least to alleviate the situation.
So, he called one of his cronies, whispered a few words, and told him to hurry up and do his errands.
At this time, Osaka Castle was already full of wounded and old and weak, and the rest of the army was taken to Kobe to grab credit. It was too cold at the head of the city, and everyone huddled in shelter to keep warm, while daydreaming.
"You say, Kobe should be taken down now, right?"
"It should be defeated, those enemies, that is, Jianyu are relatively strong, but you should see that the morale of those Duoduo has been completely lost, and they are all wilted, even if they have combat effectiveness, they can't be brought into play. At this point, I can assure you as a veteran of a hundred battles, my eyes are very poisonous. ”
"It's not all, Hauge's army was sunk by us at the bottom of the sea, this is the root cause of Jianyu's despair!"
"Actually, you don't know, it's true that the Jianju of the Four Kingdoms was beaten by us to the point that only that soft bone remains, but that Hauge, the shadow is not seen, this is fake."
“……”
Most of the people were chatting and talking, and they didn't shy away from anything, and even many people even raised their voices a little and deliberately said it to Duoduo.
At the beginning, there was still a little shame on his face, especially when he heard the men who said that he was soft-boned and eggless. But later, he seemed to let go, and when he encountered this situation, he also squeezed out a smile in response.
I don't know when, suddenly there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves outside the city.
"Haha, could it be that the messenger of the victory has arrived?" Someone guessed, and looked out.
However, some people felt that something was wrong, and while standing up and looking, they said their opinions: "This horse's hoofs seems to be a bit much, do you need so many people to come back to report the victory?" “
No matter what they thought, when they saw the movement outside the city, they were all stunned.
It was indeed someone who had returned, it was their people, but it was not one or two, but sparsely, one group after another, and looking at them, it seemed that there were tigers chasing after them, and they were desperately trying to escape.
"Defeated?" The people in the city had this at their first thought, but then they came back to their senses and immediately denied it. How can it be? This side has exhausted its elite, chasing down those enemies who have lost their morale and have been deeply hit, how can they be defeated! The number of troops is several times that of the other party!
However, facts are facts, especially those who fled back on horseback, and of course they were all generals in the Tokugawa shogunate.
After only a while, Osaka immediately jumped up. Everyone panicked, Kobe was only left with the old and weak, and the front line was defeated, so how could this Kobe be defended?
When the castle saw the dust in the distance and the dragon flag of the Kenyu looming, the Japanese people in Osaka Castle could no longer bear it anymore and fled to Nagoya by sea or by land. There were even Japanese people who lit a fire to Osaka before leaving.
Dordor was under house arrest in a room, and when he heard the chaos outside, he was a little confused. But soon someone came to forcibly take him away, and in the process, when he figured out what was going on, his mood was extremely complicated.
However, it's already like this, and what other ideas can't be found!
There were not many prisoners, the excited Catholic army, and the soldiers under Toyotomi Kunimatsu, and by the time these people arrived in Osaka, it was already a sea of fire.
But even so, they were very excited. They never imagined that when they fled from here in a hurry a few days ago, they would now be standing here again as victors. Osaka, which has not been able to be stormed, will be nothing more than ruins.
When it was getting dark, Dorgon led his men and finally arrived here. At this time, the leaders of all the allies were respectful to Dolgon, and there was no longer the exit in Kobe that was inferior to the previous exit.
Dorgon seemed to forget the unpleasantness of the previous moment, and with a smile comforted them, saying something to boost their morale before they went to rest.
Although they are victors, they are also tired to death.
However, everyone else was resting, and Dolgon's tent was still lit by candlelight. The greatest hero of the war, Ingordai, asked Dolgon with concern: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?" ”
Without outsiders, Dolgon also looked sad and frowned, and did not answer his question, but stared at the map of the Wa Kingdom and remained silent for a long time.
Half a day later, he suddenly sighed and asked to himself, "Hauge, where will you go?" ”
When Yingordai heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. Now, the forces in Hauge's hands have become the key to the Qing Dynasty's decision on its next move. However, Inordai is also confused, Hauge, where has he gone?
They don't know, but some people quickly know where Hauge has gone.
Nagoya, a place heavily guarded by the Tokugawa Shogunate. When the Shikoku good news passed through here, they sent a letter of request to Tokugawa Iemitsu, but they didn't wait for a reply, and they regretted it in their hearts, estimating that the Kenyu and those rebels on the Osaka side would be quelled by the Osaka army and the Edo army, right?
However, their regret did not last long, because the rout of Osaka came running.
At this moment, all the Japanese people on Nagoya's side were in disbelief, looking at these people who had retreated like pigs' heads.
"What? You're defeated? How is this possible? ”
"There are so many of you, you have the advantage, how can you lose?"
"Hauge's army raided, you mean Hauge's army is hiding on Kobe's side? The inside should be combined with the outside, and the critical moment was raided, and you were defeated? ”
“……”
Although it is a little unacceptable, it is also a fact that the defeated army has fled back and can no longer accept it. So, on the Nagoya side, he immediately began to write a sonata, and he wanted to fly to Edo, and the music was known to Tokugawa Iemitsu.
However, they had not yet sent messengers, and some people had fled from the north, bringing with them a message that was even more unacceptable to them.
"What, Edo was attacked, and the flames were blazing?"
"What about the General? Didn't you escape? How so? ”
"Is Hauge's army, coming from the sea? It's impossible! Didn't Kobe also say Hauge's army? What's going on, could it be that there are two Haoges in Jianyu? ”
“……”
Everyone was confused, not knowing what was going on.
Originally, the Edo side would report a little faster, but when the Hauge army attacked the castle at night, they surrounded the castle and killed people when they saw it, and although the Japanese people who lived outside the castle saw the flames of Edo Castle, they didn't know what was going on, so they delayed a lot of effort, and only after they figured out the situation during the day, did anyone come to report the news.
On Nagoya's side, the defeated army that fled from Osaka swore that Hauge's army would appear in Kobe and that they would be defeated if thousands of troops charged.
On the Edo side, it insisted that it was the Hauge army, which had already slaughtered Edo by sneak attack at night, and the Shogun, nine times out of ten, fell into the hands of Kenyu.
At this time, someone interjected and asked, what about the emperor?
The emperor of the Wa Kingdom originally lived in Kyoto, but Kyoto was destroyed in the war, and it was only after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the Wa Kingdom that construction began again. But the scale or something, including the city defense, naturally will not be very good. After Kenko landed in Honshu and began to burn and plunder everywhere, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already taken them all to Edo for the safety of the emperor and other Japanese nobles.
When I heard someone ask the emperor, someone immediately responded: "The general may have an accident, and the emperor can still run away?" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, all of a sudden, everyone's hearts were shocked, broken!
They have all witnessed the bestiality of Jianyu. And the current emperor is a female emperor who is only twelve years old!
In the end, no matter where the real Hauge is, the attack on Edo is always true, and the things of King Qin must be done, even if it is too late, there is always a need to make a show.
It's been a long time. Then there was a dispute over the distribution of troops.
Some said that since he was the king of Qin, he would naturally have to bring more soldiers and horses; But some people say that if all the troops are taken away, what will happen if the prisoners on the Osaka side are killed? Do you want Nagoya anymore? If Nagoya is lost, who will resist this responsibility?
After a lot of time and a lot of time, in the end, the scouts reported that the Jianyu on the Osaka side had disappeared, and it seemed that they had withdrawn from the army. The two factions with different opinions finally decided to send most of their forces to the rescue of Edo.
But before they could set off, Haug led the army and returned with high morale.
If Hauge's own opinion is concerned, he must still be happy in Edo at this time, but he has a reminder of wealth and wealth around him.
In particular, Qian Fugui told Haoge: "Now that Edo has been laid, such a big thing, if the master doesn't go back, wouldn't it be equivalent to a night trip in brocade?" And this is the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, there are still a lot of Japanese troops in the north, and they will definitely come to the rescue after hearing the news, if we don't go back to converge, if we are alone, I am afraid that there will be danger! ”
For these two reasons, let Hauge lead the army south.
