Kill, kill again, the bullets have long been gone, and the command knife has been blunted, but Akiyama is still fighting hard, tirelessly rushing left and right, cutting down the Japanese soldiers who are attached to the ladder one by one to the city, even though the guards around him have fallen one after another, even if his body is already scarred, Akiyama still shouts and fights, even he himself can't remember how many knives he slashed out, and how many Japanese samurai he slashed and killed.

"Hahaha......, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

A wave of the Japanese army climbed the ladder up, and then a wave of the ground was cut down to the head of the city, life passed like a mustard, when the battle reached the end, the heavy casualties of the Japanese Blue Banner Army finally could not support, first one or two frightened soldiers ran backwards, and then, a large group of defeated soldiers regardless of the Japanese army generals and reprimanded, chaotically retreated to the defeat of the formation, as soon as he saw this, the bloody Akiyama couldn't help but laugh out loud, and was happy, Leng Buding, mixed with the chaos of the army, several Japanese crossbowmen aimed at Akiyama and shot indiscriminately.

"General be careful!"

"General!"

"Your Excellency!"

……

Akiyama was excited to repel the strong attack of the Japanese army again, most of his body was already exposed in the city saucer, caught off guard, he couldn't make an evasion, when even if he was hit by three arrows in a row, the burly body shook for a while, and the person had fallen backwards heavily, and several Qing soldiers who were really shooting at the Japanese army rout next to him saw this, and they couldn't help but exclaim, they dropped their guns one after another, rushed over, hugged Akiyama's body, and called anxiously.

"Huh, ......, go, call Wang Shuangcheng."

After two days of fierce fighting, Akiyama was already at the end of the crossbow, and at this time he was hit by three arrows in a row, and the people were about to die, and a group of Qing soldiers called for a long time, and he opened his eyes weakly, looked around the people with his eyes blankly, and commanded weakly.

"My lord, the end will be here."

The general Wang Shuangcheng was actually beside Akiyama, and when he saw that Akiyama was seriously injured and could not be saved, his eyes instantly turned red, and he responded in a choked voice.

"Well, come, help the old man to the city gate tower, and then bring all the gunpowder bags!"

Akiyama nodded weakly, and ordered in a hurry.

"Your ......, my lord"

As soon as he heard Akiyama's words, Wang Shuangcheng had already guessed what Akiyama's intentions were, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and he was about to say something to stop.

"The old man can't do it, this city has been guarded until now, and the task assigned by the marshal is completed, Shuangcheng, while the dog has not come up, you take the brothers to withdraw quickly, Tashan will pick up Ying Er and wait at Lanshan Pass, after the old man is broken, go, go quickly!"

Akiyama waved his hand to stop Wang Shuangcheng's words, and gave an order in an unquestionable tone.

"Wow!"

Wang Shuangcheng had to say something more, but when he saw that Akiyama was already wide-eyed, he didn't dare to say more, so he could only accept it with tears, and placed Akiyama in the city gate tower, and then led a group of soldiers who had survived the bloody battle to rush down the city wall and rush along the long street to the west gate of Uji Castle.

"Onboard! Onboard! ”

Tokugawa Yoshimune is determined to take Uji Castle today, the Blue Flag Army has just been defeated and retreated, the Black Flag Army launched a charge again, more than 1,500 Black Flag Army infantry under the pressure of its commander Tokugawa Katsuyo, shouted and rushed through the Uji River again, dozens of long ladders soon leaned against the wall, groups of Black Flag officers and soldiers climbed the ladder, and climbed to the top of the city in an instant, but did not wait for the expected counterattack of the defenders, and they couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"There are people here, and they are big officials!"

The Japanese officers and soldiers, who could not figure out the situation, were very cautious, and did not dare to relax a little, so they searched the castle carefully, and after a while, they saw several Japanese warriors come to the city gate, and when they looked inside, they immediately found Akiyama leaning on the pile of gunpowder bags and panting, and they all cried out in surprise.

"Dog mongrel, come on, come on, hahaha......"

Akiyama was already in a dying state, but when he saw the Japanese warriors probing their brains outside the city gate, his spirit was suddenly lifted, and he sat up straight and laughed.

"Yaga, shang, kill him!"

Although he couldn't understand what Akiyama was shouting, as soon as he saw him laughing so heartily, all the Japanese samurai were all on fire, and they all roared angrily and rushed into the city gate, and more than a dozen katanas were raised in unison, which was about to split Akiyama's swords, but no one noticed that there was a puff of white smoke curling up behind Akiyama.

"Boom ......"

Just when more than a dozen katanas were about to slash into Akiyama's body, the grenade that had burned to the end of the lead exploded, and even though it caused the explosion of many gunpowder packets, the huge explosion, the entire city gate tower was blown apart, and under the flying bricks and stones, the samurai who had just rushed to the city were unlucky, not only the dozen or so samurai who rushed into the city gate tower were blown to pieces, but the samurai who were searching around were also knocked down nearly half of the flying rubble, and the smoke and dust were billowing up, and the city was in a mess, The ghost cried and the wolf howled......

"General!"

"Your Excellency!"

……

Wang Shuangcheng had just led less than 200 Qing soldiers to rush out of the west gate of Uji Castle, when he suddenly heard a loud noise from the east, and all the officers and soldiers suddenly stood up, looked back at the smoke cloud with tears streaming down their faces, and roared in great pain.

"Withdraw, go to the Arashiyama Pass!"

Although Wang Shuangcheng was also heartbroken by the heroic Chengren of Akiyama, he was still sober in the end, and he did not dare to stay in such a dangerous place, gritted his teeth and shouted, and led the remnants to rush all the way to the Lanshan Pass......

"Report, General Yu, the *** people have fled, General Tokugawa Katsuyo has taken control of the whole city, please show the general!"

The people in Uji Castle have basically been driven away by the Qing army, with the withdrawal of Wang Shuangcheng's department, it is now an empty city, and the Japanese army that entered the city can easily control the whole city, and in only two quarters of an hour, there is a Japanese army who reported that the horse galloped out from the open gate of the cave and reported the news to Tokugawa Yoshimune.

"Okay, well done, order: Tokugawa and his entourage immediately led their troops through the city, joined up with Tokugawa Katsuyong's department, pursued the *** rout army with all their might, and marched to Kyoto, and the rest of the troops followed the general to advance slowly, and must rush to Kyoto before sunset to protect my majesty the emperor!"

Uji Castle is the gateway to Kyoto, and after this, it is only less than forty miles away from Kyoto, although he is not very satisfied with the performance of his army to take Uji Castle at the cost of more than 10,000 people, but Tokugawa Yoshimune did not show it, but gave several orders one after another with an excited expression.

"Hay!"

Tokugawa Yoshimune gave such an order, and the generals who gathered around him did not dare to slack off, and they each made a loud promise, not spinning, and then listened to the sound of the horn, Tokugawa and his party had already led the troops and horses of the headquarters to rush forward, passed through Uji Castle at high speed, joined forces with Tokugawa Katsuyo, and rolled along the avenue towards Arashiyama Pass......

Kyoto is located in the basin, only the south side leading to Osaka is a gentle place, the other three sides are all steep peaks, each has a valley mouth and the outside world, the east of the valley leading to Uji Castle is the Arashiyama Pass - Arashiyama, one of the barriers in the east of Kyoto City, stretching for nearly 200 miles, nearly 30 miles in length and width, because of the beautiful scenery, many maple leaves and cherry blossoms, has always been the place where the dignitaries linger, of course, that is the past, since the Qing army killed under the city of Kyoto, the people who can escape around have already escaped a fine light, on the occasion of this harsh winter, the huge Arashi Mountain, there is just a dead silence.

"It's all steady, let's get closer!"

The Arashiyama Pass is not far from Uji Castle, that is, about five miles, and the Japanese army that marched in a hurry only took less than half an hour to arrive less than a mile away from the mountain pass.

"Uemura-kun, take your people up and attack first!"

Tokugawa and his entourage in the attack on Uji Castle, but suffered a big loss, this time saw that there was a Qing army blocking the road in the mountain pass ahead, he did not dare to be careless, and after reorganizing the army in the rapid march, he cautiously sent Uemura Seitaka to launch the first attack after being a heavy setback in the siege battle.

"Hay!"

Uemura Chenggao's troops originally had 3,000 people, but when attacking the Qing army's position outside the city the day before yesterday, due to repeated setbacks, the loss of troops had already been nearly half, and the fierce firepower of the Qing army had already been feared. Then the drive troops rushed towards the Qing army's blocking position in the mountain pass.

"Call me!"

Looking at the Japanese army rushing over in chaos, Tashan had angry flames jumping in his eyes, because he had learned of Akiyama's heroic death from Wang Shuangcheng, who had withdrawn, and the hatred in his heart had already made his blood boil, and when the vanguard of Uemura Seigao's department rushed to a distance of about 100 steps from the position, Tashan didn't want to wait any longer, shouted, pulled the trigger, and fired the first shot. "Sudden ......" Tashan retreated to the Lanshan Pass for only an hour and a half, to say rest, in fact, it really didn't last long, the soldiers were still very tired, but the guns and ammunition were replenished, especially the machine guns, and more than 20 were transferred from the rear, for the Arashiyama Pass, which was not more than 70 steps wide, this density was already amazingly high, and under the same fire, countless bullets swept towards the charging Japanese soldiers like a torrential rain. In an instant, the vanguard of the Japanese army howled miserably......
