Chapter 475: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain (1)
Keep in mind!
After a night of bloody fighting, more than 7,000 allied troops composed of more than a dozen daimyo were killed by the Qing army, the main general Honda Juntaro was killed in battle, and the rest of the daimyo were also killed and wounded more than half, the whole army was annihilated nearly 4,000 people, and the rest of them fled in fear, and the defenders of Kyoto City did not dare to open the city to respond, after this battle, no reinforcements dared to come to Kyoto to participate in the war within hundreds of miles around Kyoto, the hearts of the people in the city fluctuated, and many powerful people such as Tokugawa Mitsuyoi were anxious, and had to send messengers to Edo to ask for help. 【】
Edo is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, although as soon as he received the urgent edict of Emperor Nakagomon, the shogun general Tokugawa Yoshimune has ordered the conscription of the surrounding famous troops, in order to prepare for the south to rescue Kyoto, but all kinds of matters are complicated, the speed of the army assembly is really not fast, without waiting for Edo to complete the mobilization of war preparations, the old thirteen has led the main force of the Qing army to arrive outside the city of Kyoto on November 11, the 50th year of Kangxi, more than 10,000 troops gathered under the city, there are dozens of heavy artillery, nearly 100 light and heavy infantry guns, the lineup can be described as the peak, However, the old thirteen did not order the siege of the city, but stationed troops under the city, surrounded by three and missing one, and only sent a small force to sweep the surrounding domains every day, robbing supplies, horses and livestock, and other than that, there was no other action, and he did not even make preparations before the siege.
As soon as the old thirteen did nothing came out, the generals were a little uncontrollable, the first one or two days were fine, the left and right armies came from a long journey, how to rest and recuperate, but four days passed, the old thirteen still did not order the siege of the city, the generals couldn't help but be anxious, the generals asked for war, but the old thirteen ignored them all, and didn't even have a sentence to explain, which made the generals at a loss. I didn't dare to go to the old thirteen to ask for an explanation, so Hongqing became the target of the generals' entanglement, which made Hongqing also very angry.
What does the old thirteen want to do? This question is not guessed by others, but Hongqing knows it in his heart, although he does not dare to assert that it is all expected, but ** does not leave the confidence of ten, Hongqing is still not lacking, but the old thirteen refuses to say it clearly, Hongqing is not easy to open his mouth indiscriminately, the problem is that the generals dare not stir up the old thirteen, but they are all blind mushrooms in Hongqing, and Hongqing rarely has a peaceful time, there is no way, so he has to respond to the invitation of the generals, and go to the old thirteen in person to ask for a clear question.
"The little nephew has seen the thirteenth uncle."
Although the relationship between each other is very good, but Hongqing has not neglected to go, according to the rules outside the tent to meet, by the Chinese officer into the inside, only to slowly walk into the big tent, into the eyes of the eyes to see the old thirteen is lying in front of the large map, holding a charcoal, comparing and measuring, Hongqing did not dare to be rude, this quickly walked a few steps, grabbed the side, respectfully saluted and greeted.
"Well, Qing'er is here, sit down."
Hearing the sound, the old thirteen raised his head from the map, glanced at Hongqing with a calm face, and didn't say too much to greet, just pressed his hand and motioned for Hongqing to take a seat by himself.
"Uncle Xie Thirteen."
After Hongqing thanked politely, he slowly walked to the side, grabbed a horse stool casually, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down.
"Why, you're here to rush the war too?"
Old Thirteen glanced at Hongqing and asked with a smile.
"Hey, Uncle Thirteen laughed, the little nephew was forced to come by those bastards, they didn't dare to force you, they all went to the little nephew, yes, the little nephew can't even sleep well, if you don't come to the thirteenth uncle, this matter is really not over."
Hongqing shrugged her shoulders, showed a wry smile, and explained helplessly.
"Yes, don't pretend in front of your boy, just your virtue, the master still doesn't believe that your kid will have no score in his heart, let's say, if you command this battle, how should you fight?"
Hongqing's cry was like this, but the old thirteen didn't eat it, didn't raise it, laughed and scolded angrily, and then, regardless of it, he asked Hongqing to come out of the old pocket.
"Uncle Thirteen, aren't you embarrassed, you are the handsome, how to fight this battle, you should have the final say, the little nephew should be sent by himself, and he will never dare to have the slightest discount."
When it comes to strategic ideas, Hongqing has a blueprint in his heart, but he doesn't want to rush to say that it will come out.
"If you say it, you can say it, whether it's right or not, the master will judge, just say it, just say it."
The thirteenth child has been with Hongqing for many years, and he knows Hongqing's temperament, so he waved his hand, interrupted Hongqing's excuse unceremoniously, and asked impatiently.
"Hey, yes, this is what you said from Uncle Thirteen, then the little nephew is not welcome, well, if the little nephew is not mistaken, the main force of this fleet should have gone north, and the target should be Edo Port, I don't know if the little nephew is right?"
Since Lao Thirteen has said such a thing, Hongqing no longer lies to deal with it, but smiles confidently, pointing out the key to the strategic concept that Lao Thirteen has planned.
"Oh, how so?"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, the old thirteen's eyes immediately flashed with a glint of essence, but he did not comment on what Hongqing said, but asked quietly and rhetorically.
"Today's Wa country Tokugawa shogunate is dominant, not easy to control, only to exterminate its main force, in order to ensure that I Qing Dynasty control of the East, today, the thirteenth uncle to Kyoto siege but not attack, is nothing more than to lead Tokugawa Yoshimune to lead the main force to the rescue, this one, presumably that Tokugawa Yoshimune also thought of it, but even so, he did not dare to sit back and watch the Emperor of the Middle Gate fall into the hands of our army, and it is common for him to come to the aid in a big way, if so, its nest will be empty, and my Daishimizu Division only needs to arrive, and it will definitely be able to fight down, If the news reaches its army, it will be in a dilemma, the army's heart is in chaos, the battle will be destroyed, this fang is broken, Dongying can be at his fingertips! ”
Hongqing smiled, calmly explained, and pointed out all the tricks of this battle.
"If you want to divert the tiger away from the mountain, shouldn't you rush to attack Kyoto?"
Lao Thirteen still didn't comment on what Hongqing said, but asked in a deep voice.
"There is no other way, the thirteenth uncle has absolute confidence in breaking the enemy in a war, the reason why he is not in a hurry to attack Kyoto is nothing more than to want Tokugawa Yoshimune to do his best to help, thinking that the naval fleet will create a favorable fighter plane in Edo in a war, today, five days have passed, it is expected that Tokugawa Yoshimune's army should almost set off, it is time to attack Kyoto, so that this group of enemy troops can go faster."
Facing the old thirteen's step-by-step questioning, Hongqing was not panicked at all, and gave a suggestion with a smile.
"Well, then let's attack, send troops tomorrow, and bomb the fuck first!"
Old Thirteen frowned and thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Hongqing's proposal.
"The people of China have sent troops, and the people of China have sent troops!"
On November 16, the 50th year of Kangxi, when the sky was gloomy, the north wind was howling, a heavy snow was coming, it was dark, the weather was cold, on the city wall of Kyoto, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on duty were bored waiting for the arrival of the changing of the guard, and suddenly they could hear the horn in the camp of the Qing army and sounded continuously, and they couldn't help but be in a spirit, and they were wandering around, but they saw a group of Qing officers and soldiers walking out of the camp on three sides, and they were immediately frightened, and they shouted regardless of it, only for a moment, The Japanese officers and soldiers who were resting in the urn wall were all panicked.
"Baga, what's the panic?"
In the city gate tower, Tokugawa Sansheng, who was sleeping soundly in his clothes, heard the noise outside, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he jumped up in a hurry, and rushed out without caring about his armor, and grabbed a sentry who was screaming wildly, and scolded angrily.
"Great, my lord, the branch and the branch are coming, coming, you, you see ......"
As soon as he saw that it was Tokugawa Mitsuyo, the frightened sentry did not dare to slack off, pointed to the castle, and reported with a trembling mouth.
"Baga, don't mess up, defense, the whole army will go to the city for defense!"
Hearing what the sentry said, Tokugawa Mitsui hurriedly followed his gesture and looked down at the city, and immediately saw a group of Qing officers and soldiers assembling in front of the camp, and a stream of artillery was pushed out of the camp.
The samurai in the urn city are all the private soldiers of the Tokugawa family, at this time, when I saw Tokugawa Mitsui show his face, he had the backbone, and the chaotic state was immediately improved, and a team of samurai shouted and rushed up the city wall along the corridor, and set up a defensive position, but saw that a round shield was erected, and a crossbow was all wound, and more than 40 gunners were in a hurry to load more than a dozen old-style guns erected on the head of the city, and they were nervously guarding for the arrival of the Qing army.
"The first post is finished, please instruct!"
"The second post is finished, please instruct!"
……
Just when the defenders at the head of the city had set up a defensive formation, the Qing army also completed the work of the whole team, and the chief officers of each post sent heralds to the central army and reported to the old thirteen.
"Let's get started!"
After the rectification of the various posts, the old thirteen did not hesitate, and gave the order with a solemn face.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as the old thirteen gave such an order, the artillery that had already been ready took the lead in starting to exert its might, but listening to a roar that was almost bursting, nearly a hundred artillery pieces bombarded the city of Kyoto from three directions......
