Keep in mind!

"Order: All ships of the Navy Division are on standby in place, and all troop carriers are docked in turn and landed!"

Although there are doubts about the things in Osaka City, the old thirteen don't care, no side, in the face of the strong combat power of the Qing army, all the conspiracies of the Wa Kingdom are just paper tigers, there is no need to look forward and backward, even if there is an ambush, just fight! In view of this, the old thirteen did not think about it for too long, and when he raised his eyebrows, he had already given an order in a loud voice. ｛｝

Under the order of the old thirteen, the huge war machine of the Qing army immediately ran in full force, first the naval warships swam back and forth on the sea in three battle lines, and the rows of black holes pointed directly at Osaka City, and then, more than 40 troop carriers began to move closer to the dock in turn, as soon as the three troop transports in front of the boat docked, dozens of rope ladders were put down from the side of the ship, and the Qing soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition quickly went down along the rope ladder, and quickly deployed around the dock according to the drill code, not long after, More than 2,000 officers and men have already gone ashore.

"All the army assembled!"

Akiyama, the deputy marshal of the army who personally led the vanguard to land, did not wait for the arrival of the follow-up troop carriers, shouted and ordered the vanguard to line up on the spot, and then led the troops to advance to Osaka Castle, crossed the defense line of the marines, and cautiously entered Osaka Castle all the way.

"General Yuqiu, there is no trace of the enemy in the city, according to the Japanese people in the city who have not yet fled, after the guns of our warships last night, the enemy troops in the city were completely dispersed, and most of the residents in the city have fled in the direction of Kyoto, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are still there."

Akiyama's caution was obviously in vain, and just as he led his troops to move forward cautiously, Wang Kuan, who had entered the city earlier to investigate, had already escorted several old widows back from the city and reported the news he had learned to Akiyama.

"Send a signal to the fleet, and all departments will immediately seize the key points everywhere!"

When he heard that Osaka was already an empty city, Akiyama, who was expecting to make a first achievement, couldn't help but be disappointed, but he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and reluctantly give an order.

"Running out? Scold. ”

After listening to the news sent back from the front, the old thirteen, who had always stood on the tall bridge of the "Zhenwu", couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.

"Thirteenth uncle, it is not surprising that the thieves are afraid of the might of our army, and they abandon the city and flee, and now we must prevent the Kyoto chieftains from acting like this, and the little nephew asks for the order to lead the cavalry to Kyoto first to prevent the enemy from escaping!"

Hongqing, who had rushed to the flagship by boat from the "Zhenyuan", also didn't expect that the defenders of Osaka Castle would escape without a trace, but when he thought of the performance of the famous "Osaka Division" in World War II in the later generations, he was relieved, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry that the Emperor Nakagomon in Kyoto City would also act like this, if he was really slipped away by the Emperor Nakagomon, then the Qing army's surprise attack strategy was bound to be discounted a lot, and the war that could not be ended in a year would drag on for an extremely long time, and this, Obviously, it was not the situation that Hongqing was happy to see, so he hurriedly stood up from the side and suggested in a loud voice.

"Well, it's better to let Doron go."

Since the year before last, the old thirteen has not been less mixed with Hongqing, since it is clear that Hongqing is not only superior to martial arts, but also brave and unrivaled by ordinary people, Hongqing led his troops to Kyoto, which is obviously a good choice, but considering Hongqing's identity, the old thirteen did not dare to let him take risks, no side, although it has long been clear that the Japanese country does not have many troops in Kyoto, it is really more than 2,000 warriors, and they are all owned by various families, it is difficult to have a unified command at all, the problem is that the Qing army can draw out only more than 300 cavalry- According to the establishment, this new army has 2,000 cavalry, but there are not so many troop carriers, and the horses loaded on the ship are only 500 horses, and more than 100 horses have been lost along the way for various reasons, and now there are only more than 360 war horses left in battle.

"Thirteenth Uncle Mingjian, this time the battle situation is probably relatively complicated, you must have the ability to make decisions immediately, although Duolong is brave, the opportunity is insufficient, if he leads his troops to go, I am afraid that there is a risk of mistakes, or the little nephew is more appropriate."

Just looking at the old thirteen's expression, Hongqing knew what the old thirteen was worried about, but Hongqing didn't intend to appreciate it, and said earnestly again.

"It's okay, Qing'er has to be careful when she goes, everything is safety-oriented, for Uncle Wei, I will order Akiyama to lead the troops to set off immediately, maybe I can cooperate with you."

Seeing Hongqing so insisting, the old thirteen couldn't stop him anymore, and after thinking about it with a slight frown, he still didn't feel at ease and planned to send out the Akiyama department that had already gone ashore first.

"That's very good, the little nephew will go to mobilize the cavalry first, and it's good to set off early."

Hearing that the old thirteen agreed to his own request, Hongqing was very excited in his heart, and hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly left, and suddenly, on the tall mainmast of the flagship, a flag bearer kept waving the flag, and transferred the two largest troop carriers that were originally in the middle of the troop carrier cluster, and slowly approached the dock, and then heard a piercing friction sound, a huge door appeared on the hull of the ship close to the dock, and the door panel slowly fell on the dock. A slope was formed, and after a while, a cavalryman led his horse out of the boat and stepped down the slope to the shore.

"Let's go!"

The cavalry who just went ashore were a little confused, whether it was a man or a horse, no side, more than two months of sea turbulence, so many land animals are obviously not very adaptable, originally, so many cavalry will not come in handy so early, according to the predetermined battle plan, with the strong combat power of the Qing army, although it is a sure thing to take Osaka, but after all, it must be a battle, and the cavalry will be able to have a day or two to adjust, but the plan is not able to catch up with the rapid change, with the Osaka City soldiers and civilians fleeing without a fightAt this delicate moment, even if he knew that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry at this time was doubtful, but Hongqing couldn't care about it so much, turned over on the horse, waved his hand, shouted, and ran towards the south gate of Osaka Castle, which had been opened.

"Da Da ......"

After Hongqing's order was issued, more than 350 cavalry did not dare to slack off a little, and rode their horses one after another, but the speed was not too fast, and the pace was not neat......

"My lord, please open the city."

"Please, be kind, and let me wait to enter the city."

"Kaejo, hurry up, the people of Shina are coming, I beg you."

……

At the moment of Shen, it was almost dusk, and under the tall Kyoto City, nearly 10,000 people with their children and daughters, or driving carriages, or carrying large bags and small bags of ants gathered under the city, looking up at the soldiers on the city tower, begging bitterly, these people are the people of Osaka who fled overnight yesterday, even if Kyoto is actually only more than 80 miles away from Osaka, the road is wide and easy to walk, but under the people with their families, how can the marching speed be fast? Most of the people who fled to Kyoto walked for nearly a day to get to the city of Kyoto, but unfortunately the gate of Kyoto has long been closed, except for the first group of people who escaped to enter the city, the rest were all blocked out of the city, and those who had a place to go had already turned around and gone elsewhere, and those who were still wailing under the city at this time were all civilians who had nowhere to go, there was no doubt that these ant-like civilians were of no use to the magnates in the city, and let the civilians howl miserably, The magnates in the city were also resolutely unmoved.

In a small forest less than three miles away from Kyoto City, hundreds of Qing cavalry sat or lay down to rest, but Hongqing did not relax, but saw his expressionless face standing under a big tree, looking at Kyoto City with a solemn expression, seemingly calm, but in fact the bottom of his heart was turbulent - only more than eighty miles of road, it took two and a half hours to ride a horse, this speed is almost the same as a turtle crawling, although he has arrived at the ground, but it is difficult to say whether Emperor Nakagomon is still in the city, If it really escapes, the surprise attack strategy will be mostly in vain, this battle will obviously be fought for a long time, once there is a slight mistake, the consequences must not be easy to play, Hongqing will inevitably have some gains and losses.

"Report, Yuqing Baylor, the four gates of Kyoto have been closed, and my subordinates have taken a few Japanese people who have fled from Osaka Castle, and I have asked them carefully, and it is believed that the Japanese king is still in the city."

Just when Hongqing was uneasy, he saw that a sentry sent out to investigate earlier had hurriedly come in from outside the forest, bowed to Hongqing, and hurriedly said something.

Whew, just be in the city!

That sentry is a master transferred by Hongqing from the original "Eight Banners Firm" Dongying fleet, his own martial arts are extremely high, and he is also very talented in language, speaking fluent Japanese, standard Kyoto accent, from his horse, the news found out is undoubted, Hongqing's tense heartstrings suddenly loosened slightly, but no, I still don't dare to be careless, no, the two thousand army troops under Akiyama are about to arrive, the problem is that the accompanying artillery and other heavy weapons are still in Osaka, and it is difficult to say whether they are unloaded or not, As for the main force of the old thirteen to rush to the city of Kyoto, it is unlikely that it will take three days, in other words, more than 350 cavalry plus 2,000 infantry who lack heavy weapons are the ultimate strength that Hongqing can have in these days......
