Chapter 1285 Drinking cold water stuffed between your teeth
"Lord Qiqi Inspector, the Dongying army under Tianjia Mountain has begun to disperse, and the infantry sent by Lord Tan Guilin has already occupied the Osaka Fort in Dongying, such as today, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 Dongying troops near Jiashan!"
A pawn came to Qin Mufeng, knelt down on one knee, and said to Qin Mufeng.
"Haha!"
Qin Mufeng laughed and said, "It seems that Deng Xiong and He Bingfeng are not wrong!" Tokugawa Iemitsu's unlucky guy is really hiccupping, otherwise, there won't be a large number of Japanese coquettes suddenly dispersed, this is those daimyo are scared! The order was ordered, ordering Xia Wanchun to lead the cavalry all the way to pursue the scattered Ming rout, and ordered Tan Guilin to hit all the infantry of the Tianxiong Army, and launch a siege against the remnants of the Dongying army under Tianjia Mountain, before dusk today, to completely defeat all the main forces of the Dongying army and march to Edo Bay! ”
Xia Wanchun led the cavalry and began to clear out the various daimyo forces who were thinking of fleeing from afar, and Tan Guilin led the main force of infantry to attack the main force of Dongying of Matsudaira Nobutsuna and others!
This time the attack, the movement is completely different, most of Dongying's main force is scattered, the troops left under the mountain can't hide much more than the elite infantry of the Tianxiong Army, the battery is completely destroyed, and it can't be used at all, on the contrary, the dozens of artillery pieces of the Ming army are still full of vitality, constantly attacking the Dongying army!
Now that the Dongying army is disheartened, even if Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the daimyo desperately organize a battle, they still can't get rid of the current decline, even if they have more troops than the Ming army, they are still not the opponents of others!
"Withdraw your troops! Osaka Bay can't be defended, and I hope to bring this force back to Edo......"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the daimyo had to give the order to retreat, and the army began to retreat in the northeast direction, but if they wanted to run, they also had to ask the Ming army if they agreed!
The Tianxiong army did not leave any respite for the Dongying army at all, and chased all the way from behind, constantly pursuing, attacking the city, attacking the town, attacking the town, in two days, the Tianxiong army captured six small towns, two big cities, invincible! Nearly 40,000 Dongying troops are now less than 20,000 left, and they are still desperately fleeing in the direction of Edo, untenable, untenable at all!
When Matsudaira Nobutsuna first started, he planned to resist stubbornly with the help of the two cities of Nara and Koga, but when dozens of artillery pieces arrived in the city, an artillery bombardment caused the soldiers defending the city to collapse.
Run! Keep running!
If you want to run slowly, you can't do it at all, in four days, the Tianxiong army chased nearly two hundred miles from behind in one go, and it was almost impossible to chase Matsudaira Nobutsuna and others into the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground!
Finally, Matsudaira Nobutsuna led the army to the port of Nagoya, but he couldn't run, and in two days, he was defeated in successive battles, and he retreated all the way, and the army was about to be broken up.
"Order, the army immediately seized all the merchant ships in Nagoya Port, no matter which country it was, they all took it, and everyone took the merchant ships and went straight to Edo Bay!"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna gave an order, and all the troops rushed to the port of Nagoya, and took down all the twenty or thirty merchant ships that stayed in the port.
Pieces of routs rushed towards the mall, and there were many unlucky people, who were retreated straight from the merchant ship by others and fell into the sea, and some even fought for their lives, and the area around the port was already in chaos.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the four daimyo finally boarded the merchant ship, and together with more than 2,000 cavalry led by Tadashi Aoyama, they rushed onto the merchant ship in one go and ran into the distance.
On the harbor, there are at least thousands of people who stay in place and do not board the ship, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna does not dare to wait any longer, the gunfire of the Ming army in the distance is getting closer and closer, and it is less than three or five miles away from the harbor, it is simply a blink of an eye, and if you stay in the harbor, it is purely looking for death!
Tan Guilin led the elite of the Tianxiong Army to rush to the port of Nagoya in one breath, and when he saw the merchant ship heading away, he slashed a Dongying prisoner next to him into two pieces!
"Order, immediately occupy the port of Nagoya!"
Tan Guilin shouted: "The army has been reorganized for a day and is ready to continue to advance north!" Go straight to Edo! ”
The economic towns and political centers around Dongying are almost all concentrated in the bays along the eastern coast of Dongying, Tan Guilin knows very well that if he controls the entire eastern town of Dongying, then Dongying is also in his hands, and the Tianxiong Army does not care about the big names in the central and eastern parts of the country at all, and will first capture the eastern part of Dongying!
From Nagoya to Edo, along the way, there are also important towns such as Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, and Yokohama, just sweeping all the way through!
Not to mention Tan Guilin, just Matsudaira Nobutsuna, seeing dozens of merchant ships rushing out of Nagoya Port under the persecution of the soldiers, leaving the Ming army far behind, and finally let out a long breath, the Ming army now wants to find ships to catch up, it is impossible, even if it catches up, what can it do? These are merchant ships, not warships, they don't have any combat power, as long as they don't want to approach, the Ming army has no temper at all!
Finally, finally escaped!
On the merchant ship, Hojo Ichichi, Aoyama Tadashi and others raised their arms and cheered one by one, regardless of the rest, let's save their lives first, and as for the rest, we will discuss it when we arrive in Edo!
However, will they be able to escape safely to Edo?
It was impossible for the unfortunate defeated army to reach Edo safely.
As soon as I ran out of Ise Bay from Nagoya and entered the sea, I didn't run out for thirty miles, and a huge fleet appeared in the distance, and it was the Daming fleet!
"Big, big, big, big! Fleet, fleet! There is a fleet in the east......"
A sailor who was keeping watch on the watchtower quickly climbed down and pointed to the east and said to Matsudaira Nobutsuna!
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's heart jumped, and he hurriedly climbed the mast and looked into the distance!
Sure enough, in the east, a fleet is heading north, and it is the mortal enemy - the Ming fleet!
Matsudaira Nobutsuna's heart suddenly cooled, and Yaga ...... How could you be so unlucky, how could you find the Ming fleet at sea so coincidentally? That's right, it's the Ming fleet, the Ming flag is flying high, and there are hundreds of battleships, it's terrible!
"Order, all merchant ships to avoid the northwest direction, avoid the Ming army's fleet!"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna shouted.
However, at this time, it was obvious that it was too late, and the sailors of the merchant ships discovered the Daming fleet, and the Daming fleet also discovered this fleet, and reported to Cha Zhu and Zheng Haotian.
A large merchant fleet?
Joke, now that Dongying is in a big war, where are there still commercial and trade fleets that dare to operate in this sea area? Problematic!
