Chapter 556: Hiroshima Reinforcements

In the first battle of Beiying, Zhang Liao and Oda Nobunaga, who had a numerical advantage, fought a draw.

In order to stop the reinforcements of Hiroshima Castle, the army led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Wei Yan was divided in a very short period of time.

Before leaving, Fa Zheng found Wei Yan and wanted to fight with Wei Yan. It's just that at that time, Wei Yan only said that he had found a way to break through the defense line of the island country's army, and he would rush to Beiying as soon as possible.

Wei Yan said this, and even had the situation of directly making a military order, so Fa Zheng naturally would not force anything anymore. If he continued, he couldn't say that Wei Yan was going to quarrel with Fa Zheng.

However, the result of Wei Yan going out alone was that he was easily defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Although it is said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is actually Ye Mo's subordinate, when facing Wei Yan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not mean to release water, although Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not do his best.

It's a pity that Wei Yanzai didn't prepare anything, he knew that there were dozens of artillery pieces in the northern camp, so he guessed that there would not be many people in the island army to stop them. After Wei Yan set off from Hiroshima Castle with 20,000 soldiers, he was dumbfounded when he encountered Toyotomi Hideyoshi with 50,000 soldiers who had already lined up.

Wei Yan's heart was broken after seeing the military formation under the large army led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Is there a disease, isn't it? Beiying is such a difficult bone to gnaw, these soldiers of the island country did not go to fight there, and actually ran to the outside of Hiroshima Castle to form a formation to defend the reinforcements of Hiroshima Castle.

You must know that the distance between Hiroshima Castle and Kitei is only five miles. At this distance, the defenders of Hiroshima Castle can come to support at any time if they want to. Five miles is really not a very long distance.

However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did just that. In other words, Oda Nobunaga's courage is really not small. He dared to expel one-third of his soldiers to stop the reinforcements from Hiroshima Castle.

Wei Yan didn't expect the island army to be so bold, so he was defeated.

There was no room for resistance, whether it was the pre-battle preparations or the number of soldiers, the reinforcements led by Wei Yan were not advantageous.

But. Wei Yan was not a dead-eyed person, after seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, he ordered the whole army to retreat just at the first contact. Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't pursue either, anyway, he didn't let Wei Yan rush to Beiying with reinforcements, so his mission would be completed.

After Wei Yan withdrew, he also quickly counted the losses, and found that after less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, they had already lost more than 300 people.

This is also the result of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's failure to pursue. If Toyotomi Hideyoshi pursued, it was conservatively estimated that by the time Wei Yan and the others fled back to Hiroshima Castle, at least 3,000 soldiers would fall on the way to escape.

At this time, Wei Yan finally understood something. When Ye Mo met with Oda Nobunaga, the reason why Ye Mo didn't let everyone do it was probably because of the hint given by the general who stopped him.

"General, shall we go back now?" Although Wei Yan said that they had retreated, they did not retreat to Hiroshima Castle. At that time, what he said was surging in front of Fa Zheng. How could Wei Yan escape back in such a mess at this time?

Looking at these soldiers around him, many of them were already injured. Although it is said that it was defeated. But the morale of the soldiers was still high. After all, Wei Yan still has a lot of status in the minds of the soldiers. In particular, Wei Yan is good at plotting, and he can always find a way to survive in the dead place.

And this time was no exception, after glancing at the soldiers around him, Wei Yan said: "All the injured go back." The rest followed me on the other path, and we were to show up where the enemy did not expect. ”

Wei Yan's words not only erased the impact of the previous defeat, but also gave people the appearance that he was deliberately doing this so that the enemy could not guess his whereabouts.

When the soldiers heard Wei Yan's words, they heard it. One by one, the screaming ones are going to follow, and who is willing to quit?

Those soldiers were willing to follow Wei Yan, but Wei Yan couldn't take all of them with him. Not to mention that some of the soldiers were injured quite seriously, if there were too many people, it would be easy to expose their traces.

Walking casually in front of a few soldiers, Wei Yan looked at the injured soldiers with disgust: "You're still bleeding on your hands, and you, why are you still limping when you walk?" Look at what you don't know if your scalp is broken......"

Although Wei Yan looked quite fierce towards the soldiers one by one, Wei Yan's concern for these soldiers was real.

Until the end, Wei Yan also singled out two thousand three hundred and seventy-two people. In fact, in Wei Yan's thoughts, bringing two thousand people is the most. However, these people Wei Yan really couldn't pick out anything, and they didn't even break a piece of skin.

took these people and sent away the soldiers who were sifted down, and then in the resentful eyes of those soldiers who really just accidentally scratched a little skin, they went straight to the south of the city.

Wei Yan naturally couldn't take those soldiers to the south of the city barracks, but now if they just changed the road to the north camp, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would definitely be able to get news of Wei Yan and them.

But now Wei Yan shook a shot, not only did he not continue to set off towards the northern camp, but went to the southern camp. At this moment, even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi found out about Wei Yan and them, he would not dare to act rashly because he couldn't make a mess about the situation.

As for the rest of the soldiers, after Wei Yan and the others left, they returned to Hiroshima City with a decadent face.

When they went back, Ye Mo and Fa Zheng were watching from the top of the city at this time.

"Lord, although you guessed that General Wenchang would be defeated, and now that it has been realized, what other strategies does the lord have?" Fa Zheng looked at the defeated soldiers under the city wall, with a worried look on his face. Looking at the state of those soldiers, it is obvious that they have suffered a big defeat.

It's just that after Ye Mo heard Fa Zheng say this, he smiled, and then said, "Do you see that among these soldiers, is there Wei Yan?" ”

"Nope." There is no need to look at it again at this time, Fa Zheng responded categorically. If Wei Yan came back, how could he enter the city so calmly?

After saying this, Fa Zheng was stunned again. According to Wei Yan's consistent temperament, it is really impossible to give up so simply.

Fa Zheng and Wei Yan have also been together for a long time, although Wei Yan often does not play cards according to common sense, but he is also a famous general. It's just a simple support, and it stands to reason that Wei Yan has failed, and he won't be defeated so badly.

"The lord means that General Wenchang has other preparations?" Fa Zheng looked at the soldiers under the city wall and entered the city with a decadent look, and then looked at Ye Mo, but asked in surprise.

Ye Mo didn't continue to stand on the city wall at this time, so he walked down the city and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I knew that Wei Yan would fail and still let him command the army?" But now it's time for us to act. If Wei Yan was the only one, I was afraid that he would really not be able to resist. ”

Ye Mo's words frightened Fa Zheng again. All these feelings are under Ye Mo's control. It's just that what kind of evil does this need to be able to do this? (To be continued.) )
