Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Monk Assault (I)
DRlate at night in early June 1831, with the help of some Osaka merchants, the sword master Yanagi Jubei led tens of thousands of Tokugawa army vanguards to attack Osaka Castle at night, in an attempt to take the lead in capturing the commercial capital of Toei.

The incident happened suddenly, and the city defense was paralyzed, and the general of the Batu Empire's Dongying Expeditionary Force, Hayan Bhutan, personally led a night attack, with 1,500 Batu cavalry and nearly 10,000 allies as the main force, breaking through the outer pass in one fell swoop and entering the city of Osaka.
After successively defeating many Osaka troops, they went deep into the Osaka port area and fought fiercely with the remnants of the Osaka Army until the early morning of the next day, but were finally defeated by the Brittany Eastern Army, which rushed to the scene.
The Eastern Army's floating fleet launched several hours of artillery bombardment against Osaka Castle, crushing the vast majority of the enemy who had stormed the city, thus paving the way for the arrival of Oda's army.
In this battle, not only the main vanguard of Tokugawa Ieyasu was annihilated, but the famous commander-in-chief Yanagi Shibei Sword Saint was killed in the duel, and the Batu general Hayan Bhutan was missing.
On the other hand, the city of Osaka was slaughtered and burned, and all the military forces that Oda Nobunaga had deployed in Osaka were destroyed, and he even had to find a way to save the surviving people in Osaka City.
However, a new and more brutal storm of civil war has been successfully triggered once again after a short period of confrontation.
For example, Kenshin Uesugi, who has been in a state of soy sauce, and a large number of monks and soldiers she recruited.
When Osaka Castle, a hundred miles away, was completely plunged into a bloody purgatory, a serious military meeting had just begun in the camp of the Uesugi family called Zorayama.
Sitting in the highest seat, Kenshin Uesugi was wearing the armor of a military general, and the only person closest to the female tiger was the legendary lover military advisor Li Qiwei.
In the face of the most magnificent war in the history of Dongying, the generals who participated in the military conference were quite excited, "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my lord!" Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga are fighting, and this is a great opportunity for us to take over the world in one fell swoop! ā
"That's right, if you can attack directly when they are fighting the most intense, then ......"
Just thinking about it makes me feel excited, once I defeat that Shota and Owari big bastard, I can become a shogun myself, and then ......
Thinking of this, the female tiger looked at Li Qiwei with some meaning, which made this military advisor from the Song Kingdom feel a little furious.
Wiping the sweat that didn't exist, Li Qiwei coughed slightly to attract everyone's attention, "Ahem everyone, the war is not over yet, now I think about those who might as well think about how we can defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga." ā
The words of the military advisor calmed everyone down, they have always been on the defensive, and they are not very familiar with the bed overhead, and Oda Nobunaga's aggressive military style has long made them suffer.
Now it's their turn to take the initiative to attack, but this definitely doesn't include Akamatsu Kobayashi Monk.
As a representative of the Dongying Buddhist Gate, this time he led 10,000 monks and soldiers to join the army of the Uesugi Tiger, in order to be able to obtain the maximum benefits from the beginning.
Whether it was Tokugawa Ieyasu or Oda Nobunaga, they did not intend to win over Buddhism from the beginning of their grasp of power, and Buddhism was really a waste of dim sum spring rolls that devoured treasures and people's hearts.
Only the Uesugi family is different, not to mention that the female tiger itself is a carnivore who believes in Buddhism, and the Uesugi family, which is in a weak position in the Gosan family, can only rely on Buddhism to fight against the power of the spellcasters of the other two families.
Even if there is a demon ninja formed by Li Qiwei, it is impossible for these ninjas who are not on the stage to participate in the frontal battlefield, and the Battle of Kyoto speaks for itself.
Akamatsu Xiaolin looked at the sad faces of the generals, and a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hmph, how can you just think like this, how can you take over the world?" ā
"The great monk is right, you can't talk nonsense, and you will attack rashly without careful deployment, which is a taboo for soldiers and is easy to fail."
Li Qiwei's kind persuasion was useless, and the monk did not consider these problems, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but in the final analysis, you still need practical actions to win the victory, right?" ā
"Yes, that's good...... Wait, the monk is you! ā
"Then let me start, please look forward to the monks and soldiers opening the way to victory for you!"
Li Qiwei tried to stop Akamatsu Kobayashi's words, but he didn't take into account that religious leaders don't think too much like military advisors, not to mention that this great monk is only thirty years old!
It stands to reason that a thirty-year-old adult is mature enough, but unfortunately Akamatsu Kobayashi has never been known for his maturity in front of familiar people, and fanaticism is synonymous with him.
Fanatical believers will always fight for the ideals in their hearts, whether you admit it or not, they are completely enthusiastic when they compete, and it makes people want to join in.
Or scared to run away.
Dongying Buddhism has been sluggish in recent years, on the surface there is a scene of incense everywhere, tens of millions of people are praying for the blessing of the Buddha, although the Western Heavenly God Buddha has long been beaten by sages in ancient times.
Even if these are all about it, Dongying, who is in the era of the industrial revolution, has to face the competition of the whole world, and adventurers and mercenary groups from various countries have spread different beliefs here, gradually dividing the territory of Buddhism.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's father's revenge, which is simply a matter of seeking money and killing one's life for religion, and it is decisive and unbearable.
Akamatsu Kobayashi felt that now was the opportunity, if the monks and soldiers could win the next battle and gradually become the most relied on by the female tiger of Uesugi, then it was foreseeable that there would be only one religion in the future, and this was their appeal.
Uesugi Tigress did not object to this, but was very supportive of the other party's actions, generously gifting a large number of guns and ammunition to arm the monk team, and also said that she would personally make a rear formation for them.
Receiving the ideal answer, Akamatsu Kobayashi led tens of thousands of monks and soldiers to the direction of Osaka, leaving only Uesugi Kenshin and others to watch them go.
"My lord, why did you just let go of the main monks and soldiers, they are all the strongest infantry in our army?"
"Then do you think we can keep so many people?"
"If it's you......"
"It's useless, let's not talk about whether the monk will listen to me, once you have disgust, you don't know if these bald donkeys will sell you, it's better to send them out."
"That's not what you said...... It's a bit like I usually fool people to say that. ā
Li Qiwei looked at his father-in-law and girlfriend embarrassedly, and the other party replied with a gentle smile, "This time it's either you die or I live in the war, I really don't know what will happen." ā
"You're going to win, that's clear from the start."
"Oh?"
"War consumes a lot of food, and I got a third of the world's food before that......"
āā¦ā¦ How dare you do it, Ridgway! ā
