Chapter Ninety-Two: Yuanfang Invades the Ancient Road, and Qingcui Connects the Deserted City (5)

Xia Mu looked at the scene in front of him behind the battle, and smiled slightly: "It seems that this trick is quite clever - Rusong, you pass on an order to the brothers in the north and south cities: when you start a street battle with the Japanese captives, first use the 'fire crow team' to open the way in front, then use the cavalry team to charge to clear the road, and finally send the infantry to clean up the remnants!" ”

"Good!" Li Rusong responded loudly, summoned two teams of heralds, and asked them to go away separately.

At this moment, the sword meteor also approached and said to Xia Muyu: "Dudu, according to the report from our brother in Nancheng, Hattori Heiji and his gang fled to the northeast corner of the city, and joined up with the wolf cavalry of Boyan Hanji, and it seems that they are going to kill back......"

"Northeast Corner...... Which? Xia Mu raised his eyes and pointed to the left with his hand, "Is it there?" ”

Everyone looked intently, only to see that there was a tower of five or six zhang high on the northeast corner of Yiju City, and the earth fort stood abruptly - the bottom of the fort was wide and top, the outer wall was extremely thick, each corner was divided into corner towers, the wall was densely covered with arrow holes, there were as many as forty or fifty lookout windows, and the wall was inserted with five-color flags to hunt and swagger in the wind, which looked arrogant!

"Not bad. That's the watchtower in the northeast corner. Li Chengliang behind him nodded.

Xia Mu pondered for a moment, and ordered: "That's it! Let the Ming soldiers in the three aspects of Beicheng, Xicheng, and Nancheng gradually tighten the encirclement steadily, and force all the remnants of the Japanese to the area of the watchtower and the Dongcheng tower, so that they can join the wolf cavalry of the Tartars, and then we will defend the northeast of Yizhou City! ”

At this time, in Osaka Castle, Japan, the cherry blossoms are full of beautiful scenery.

Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi, standing under the eaves, looked at the cherry blossoms under the lights in the pavilion, and drank the sake in the cup.

Konishi's Eastern Expeditionary Army has already arrived in Nara, and it will not be long before Japan will be fully unified, in four or five years.

What a great feat, a unification that no one has achieved for a hundred years, not even Lord Oda could achieve, but now it is about to be realized in the hands of my Toyotomi Hideyoshi!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sighed deeply, looked at the cherry blossoms in front of him, and said to the little boy Nana Mihime on the side: "Look at these cherry blossoms, every time you try to show your unique style through the spring breeze, you can leave people with indelible memories." Alas...... When Ben Taige saw them, he couldn't help but think of his magnificent life! ”

"Lord Taiko, you are wrong." When the little boy in Nara heard this, he immediately frowned slightly, his face turned pale, and he fearlessly interrupted Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words.

"You ......" Toyotomi Hideyoshi has always been self-respecting and arrogant, he has never been the only one who gives orders, and others only bow down to orders and obey the promises, this time he was suddenly interrupted by the little boy in Nara, and suddenly his eyebrows were raised, and his face suddenly became hideous and terrifying, and he was about to have a seizure on the spot.

But I saw the little boy in Nara kneeling down on the forest lawn respectfully, and said softly: "Lord Taiko's anger. The concubine thinks that although this cherry blossom is beautiful, it is easy to wither and flourish, and it is uncertain, how can it be compared with the Taiko Lord who will always be in the supreme position? From the perspective of the concubine, only Mt. Fuji, the pinnacle of Japan, can be used to compare your majestic merit and authority! ”

"Hehehe......" Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help but turn his anger into joy when he heard it, and a smug smile appeared on his face, "Nanako, you're right!" The great deeds of Hontaiko are indeed as high as Mt. Fuji in the sky, which is enough to make anyone look up to it! ”

While the two were talking, Osamu Ohno approached lightly and said cautiously, "Kaiyu Taiko-sama: Ukita-sama, the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Ishida-sama, and the military advisor Kuroda-sama sent Hattori Masato as a messenger to deliver Oda's battle report. ”

"Oh? What happened to the Crusade Army? A deep smile crossed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face, and he muttered, "They must have captured Nara at this moment, and in order to echo the auspicious omen of the early bloom of the cherry blossoms in Nagoya this year, they sent good news to Hontaiko, right?" Where is Hattori Masashi? ”

"He's waiting for your summons outside the cherry blossom forest!" A faint uneasiness flashed in Onoji's eyes, "According to the humble opinion, let's ask Lord Taiko to meet him after enjoying the cherry blossoms!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Toyotomi Hideyoshi brushed the cherry blossom petals floating on his shirt with his hand, and smiled slightly, "Ohno-kun! Immediately call a painter and carefully depict the scene of Hontaiko standing in the midst of this cherry blossom forest listening to the good news of the Eastern Expedition - this picture may become a treasure for generations to come! Just like the "Bu Yuan Diagram" of the Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty who received the Tibetan envoys, it is a rare ......"

"This ...... This ......" Osamu Ohno muttered a few words in his throat, and had to drop his hand and withdraw from the forest.

After a while, I heard a rustling sound, but I saw Hattori, who was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling on the ground, his face was full of iron, and his head was half-hanged, and he slowly moved from outside the woods to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Nara Xiaozi on his knees.

Seeing Hattori Masatsu's behavior, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face changed suddenly, and he stood there in a daze, surprised and inexplicable. Yodohime also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly bent down and retreated away, not daring to say more.

"How...... What's going on? Toyotomi Hideyoshi waited for him to slowly move five feet in front of him on his knees before he opened his mouth to ask, his voice astringent, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Too ...... Lord Taiko," Hattori Masahiro didn't dare to raise his head, but his face was facing the ground, his whole body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Shibata Katsuie and Sakumabe have joined forces to dispatch 300,000 elite soldiers to ...... Coming to challenge with ten times as many people, Konishi-kun and the samurai fought valiantly for ten days and ten nights, and finally they were outnumbered and withdrew from Nara and other places......"

He stammered according to what Ukita Hideya and Ishida Mitsunari had made up in advance, "We'...... We only lost more than 10,000 horses, and he ...... They killed and wounded fifty or sixty thousand soldiers......"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi still stood still, listening to Hattori Masaquan in a daze, his face became more and more ugly, and suddenly there was a loud "buzz" in the depths of his ears, only to see Hattori Masahiro's mouth open and closed and still saying something, but he couldn't hear his voice clearly for a while.

At the same time, he only felt a violent colic pain in his heart, like a dagger stirring inside, and the pain made large beads of sweat suddenly fall from the corners of his forehead!

After the Battle of Nagasaki, the Oda retainers were divided into two, Toyotomi Hideyoshi supported Oda Nobunaga's three-year-old grandson Sanmage to inherit, and Shibata Katsuie introduced Nobunaga's third son, Oda Nobutaka, as the successor, so the two sides broke up, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Shibata Katsuya in Shidake, set the capital Osaka, and unified the northwest, while Shibata Katsuya retreated to Nara in the east.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent 100,000 troops, appointed Konishi Yukicho as the commander-in-chief, and planned to defeat Shibata Katsuya within three years and unify Japan, and then it was the time for him to send troops to the Ming Dynasty!

But who would have thought that Shibata Katsuya would unite with Sakumabe, so wouldn't his plan to unify Japan be delayed! I'm really unwilling!

At this time, under the northeast city of Yizhou City, tens of thousands of Tartar wolf cavalry were fierce.

Hattori Heiji led a group of remnants of the defeated army, and stood beside Boyan Hanji with palpitations, he didn't know that the Jinyi Guard in Yizhou City was so powerful, and even their Great Japanese Empire's Beichen Yidao was not the opponent of the Jinyi Guard!

Boyan Hanji looked at Hattori Heiji, who had palpitations, and laughed: "Hattori-kun, don't worry too much, Yizhou City has no soldiers, and a maximum of 8,000 men and horses can be mobilized, if the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the wolf's mouth move, Duo'er Yan and Nu'er can attack Yizhou City in an instant!" ”

"General Boyan, the soldiers are like gods, Hattori admires!"

Before he finished speaking, the war horses in the rear were in a commotion, and a Mongolian Tartar rushed in a panic, fell to the ground, and shouted: "Will ...... Checkmate...... Oh no...... Wang Chonggu of Datong...... Wang Chonggu led 20,000 Datong border troops to kill from the rear! ”

"What?" There seemed to be a huge thunder rolling through Boyan Hanji's heart, which shook his ears and roared, "This...... How is this possible? ”

He stepped forward and snatched the clairtelescope from the lookout's hand, and looked at the back: I saw that on the horizon behind, countless flagpoles were raised, fluttering the bright red and dazzling Ming military flag!

"Huh?!" Under the shock of Boyan Hanji's heart, the clairfront mirror in his hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "snap", and the glass mirror shattered, "Datong's Ming soldiers are here so soon?!" ”

At this time, the dust was flying behind and the falcon was whistling.

Wang Chonggu had received an order from Yang Bo of the Ministry of War half a month ago, and ordered Wang Chonggu, the chief soldier of Datong, to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the north, and cooperate with Xia Mu, the governor of the three sides, to train the new army and recover the Hetao.

Wang Chonggu was unwilling to obey Xia Muyi's order, but the military order was like a mountain, so he had to do so, so he had to order 20,000 soldiers and horses, exit from Juyong Pass, enter Shanhaiguan, and go north to Yizhou City through Jinzhou.

But when he walked out of Shanhaiguan, he heard the bad news that the Tartar wolf cavalry attacked Yizhou City at night.

Wang Chonggu was anxious, not to mention how he and Xia Mu did not deal with each other, just to say that they were all Ming soldiers, one side was in trouble and all sides were supported, and on the day when the foreign captives invaded the country, they would join forces to resist the captives and save our state.

So Wang Chonggu immediately ordered the army to quickly support Yiju City!

At this time, Wang Chonggu's army ran around all night, people were tired and tired, Wang Chonggu even gasped, looked at the tired soldiers, and hurriedly raised his whip and shouted: "Cubs, it's slippery, one step later, Yizhou City can't be saved!" Hurry up and support Uiju! ”

Wang Chonggu reined in the reins of his horse, and the four hooves of the war horse under him flew, raising a puff of dust, and rushed towards Yizhou City on the horizon.

At this time, Xia Mu was arranged, and Boyan Jina gave his younger brother Boyan Hanji the right to rule the wolf cavalry, tens of thousands of wolf cavalry occupied the northeast watchtower, 100,000 were in a hurry, once the Tartars entered the city, hundreds of thousands of Yizhou people were helpless.

At this moment, the Jinyi guard probed the horse quickly, and one of them knelt under the horse, and said with great joy: "Governor, Wang Chonggu, the chief soldier of Datong, personally led 20,000 elites to rescue the danger of Yizhou!" You can arrive in 3 hours! ”

When Xia Mu heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly told Yu Dawei: "Let the soldiers of Xifengkou and Wolf Smoke Mouth stand still, and only need 5,000 soldiers and horses to return to help prevent the Duoyan Department from sneaking attack." ”

Saying that, Xia Mu pulled out the embroidered spring knife and yelled: "Ge Laozi, brothers, follow me out and kill these dog mongrels!" ”

Li Chengliang also smiled, and left with a knife: "It's time for the old man to move his muscles!" ”
