Chapter 91: The Worst Thing

Tokugawa Hidetada waited for Yoshino for a long time but did not return, anxious in his heart, secretly worried about whether he had an accident and why he did not come back for half a day.

Could it be that the Ming army could not be ambushed? But when I think about it, there are 3,000 people brought out by Yoshino, and all of them are the elite men of the Yoshino family, so even if they fall into an ambush, they won't come.

But there is no evidence that Yoshino had an accident, and he can't say that he will say that he is speculating, but he is secretly anxious in his heart, but his face still looks like he is in the chest.

Suddenly, another spy came to report: "A small force of the Ming army has been found in the northeast. ”

Tokugawa Hidetada frowned, there was no news from Yoshino's side, why did there come another team of Ming troops, which was obviously a bit unusual.

But before he could speak, Ueno Mamoru Daimyo took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle: "General, please let me take the warriors of the Ueno family to kill this group of cowardly Akito." The bravery of our Ueno family is no worse than that of Yoshino. ”

Tokugawa Shu scolded secretly, but he still persuaded with good words on his face: "Ueno Shou Daimyo, our army should not act rashly for the time being. Yoshino hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what kind of conspiracy the Ming army is engaged in, I'm afraid there is fraud in it, so let's sit back and watch it change for the time being. ”

Ueno Shou Daimyo said disapprerovingly: "Why should the general be so jealous of the Ming army, if they really have the ability, they will not let us fight all the way here." If there is any conspiracy, I think it is also some harassment and peeping tricks. If we ignore them, the Akito will really think that we Fuso samurai are afraid of them. ”

The other daimyo were also clamoring on the side, and Tokugawa Hidetada had no choice but to remind: "Since this is the case, then ask the Ueno Mamoru Daimyo to lead the troops into battle." But remember to be cautious and don't be taken advantage of by the Mingren. ”

Ueno Mamoru Daimyo didn't think so, so he casually saluted and turned around and left to reorganize the army.

Soon the sound of people shouting and neighing sounded, and Ueno Mamoru took his men and horses to chase down the newly emerged Ming army.

However, there was not much effort, and several directions such as the southwest, northwest, and due west directions found a small army of the Ming Dynasty one after another.

According to the report of the Tanma, all the scouts arranged by the Fusang Army on the periphery have been cleared, so there is no idea what arrangements are behind the Ming army that appeared in these small groups.

The uneasiness in Tokugawa Hidetada's heart became stronger and stronger, and he almost concluded that this was the technique used by the Ming army to lure the enemy, so that he continued to divide his troops to pursue, and finally directly attacked Huanglong.

But what made him puzzled was that the intelligence showed that the main force of the Ming army was still staying near the king of Goguryeo and had not been dispatched, so where did these Ming troops come from?

To be able to become a figure in the unification of Fuso, Tokugawa Hidetada's analytical and judgment skills are naturally not bad, and he has vaguely realized at this time that he has fallen into a trap that has been set up a long time ago. And this trap may have been set before he climbed the Korean Peninsula, waiting for him to fall into the net.

After these thoughts quickly turned around in his mind, he immediately made a decision in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Without my order, no one is allowed to fight privately, otherwise there will be no mercy!" At the same time, he issued another order, telling the besieging troops to intensify the siege, from a feint attack to an actual attack.

At the same time, two teams of men and horses were sent out thirty miles to meet Yoshino and Ueno Mamoru two teams, and if they did not respond, they would return immediately.

Tokugawa Hidetada realized that if the Ming army really fought the idea of inducing him to divide his troops, then he had to concentrate his forces now, and at the same time take the Korean royal capital as soon as possible, so that even if the Ming army would really surround it, he could attack and retreat according to the land of the royal capital.

As a result of Tokugawa Hidetada's new order, the fighting between the heads of the Baekje king's capital became more and more intense, mixed with the sound of rumbling artillery.

Among them were the artillery of the Fuso people and the artillery of the Baekje defenders. The Fuso people are not good at casting cannons, coupled with the narrow terrain in the country, poor resources, iron ore and other scarce materials, just casting swords is already a bit stretched, let alone casting muskets and artillery.

The few artillery pieces in their hands were basically second-hand goods bought from English merchants, and the shells were extremely valuable.

Therefore, it was not used in the initial siege, but now Tokugawa Hidetada feels that the situation is urgent, and this comes in handy.

Most of the artillery pieces of the three countries of Korea are obsolete goods from the Ming Dynasty, most of them are honest artillery such as the Tiger Squat Cannon of the previous Ming Dynasty, and a very small part of them are old artillery pieces eliminated by the National Defense Forces.

Of course, these were not given to them for free, but were bought with a huge amount of real money.

Although the Koreans are weak, they are now facing an existential situation, and it is a battle to defend the city, so everyone rises up, the sound of killing in the city and the city is shocking, and the artillery fire is endless, but it looks quite fierce.

In addition, the Baekje defenders also judged from the actions of the Fuso people that reinforcements had arrived, so their morale was boosted, and they even fought hard, and for a time Tokugawa Hidetada, who wanted to take the castle quickly, was helpless.

Tokugawa Hidenaka's fierce siege finally brought back the two teams sent to receive Yoshino and Mamoru Ueno.

However, when they went out, there were about 5,000 people, but when they came back, there were only a few hundred people left, and all of them still looked like they were fleeing for their lives, and they were very embarrassed to lose their armor.

"What's going on?" Tokugawa Hidetada's heart sank, and he hurriedly grabbed a general who had been brought back and asked.

"General, we, are surrounded by the Ming army, a lot of Ming troops, many, many. Their guns are mighty, their cavalry is mighty, and our men are dead! ”

The general shouted, looking terrified and frightened.

"Eight grid tooth road, nonsense, dare to confuse the hearts of the army, should be killed!" Tokugawa Hidetada shouted, the katana at his waist suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword flashed, and the general's head had already landed.

"Keep the siege! Death to those who dare to take it hostage! Tokugawa Hidetada had already lost his demeanor at this time, brandishing a katana and shouting with a hideous face.

Suddenly, one of the attendant warriors suddenly shouted: "General, what do you see that?" ”

Tokugawa Hidetada looked back suddenly, only to see a large gray wave emerging from the northeast horizon, surging unhurriedly in their direction.

Tokugawa Hidetada's heart sank, and he hurriedly looked in other directions, and sure enough, the same gray waves appeared in the north and northwest directions, and they were all rushing towards them.

Tokugawa Hidetada was shocked, and the most terrible thing happened.
