Chapter 884: Rush
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The losses on the battlefield were quickly counted, not to mention that the time of the battle between the two sides was very short, but the losses were very heavy, almost crippled the legion in the rear, and all the dead and wounded combined, nearly 200,000. If you count the soldiers who were killed head-on by the Sunset Legion, I'm afraid this number is more than 200,000.
Maeda Keiji and other generals all felt that their faces were hot, before the two sides fought head-on, their side had already suffered 200,000 casualties, and how many casualties did the other side have? They don't know, but they can be sure that the number is definitely not large, no more than a thousand at most. Such a proportion is enough to become a shame for their lives.
It's not that Keiji Maeda didn't want to let the army go after the Blue Dragon Legion that had slipped away, and with the number of troops they had now, if they surrounded the Blue Dragon Legion in the jungle, there was a high chance that the other side would be wiped out. But in this way, Izumo Castle is basically lost. Although it is still nearly a hundred kilometers away from Izumo Castle, after all, there is no news that Izumo Castle has been captured, and there is still a lot of hope.
In desperation, Keiji Maeda had no choice but to order the army to straighten out the formation and continue to advance in the direction of Izumo Castle. This time, however, they thought about it and sent a large number of soldiers to reconnoiter around to avoid being ambushed again.
While continuing to move forward, Keiji Maeda also reported what happened to Oda Nobunaga on his side, I am afraid that after the battle of Izumo Castle is over, he will inevitably be punished by the Daimyo, but it is much better than being known by the Daimyo himself and treating himself for the crime of concealment and non-reporting!
……
Yang Tian had already ridden a firebird to the sky above Kyoto Castle at this time, and soon he received a letterhead from the Great Bull, which detailed the course of their confrontation with Maeda Keiji's army and reported the results of the battle.
For the actions of the Blue Dragon Legion and the Sunset Legion. Yang Tian naturally knew very well that although these things were not decided at the beginning, Guo Jia still asked him for instructions before making a decision. Of course, the tasks of these two legions were not the highlight of this operation, but Yang Tian was still very satisfied with such brilliant results. That's 200,000 eighth-order soldiers! Even if it's just about points, it's millions, and you can redeem a lot of good things.
Now the Blue Dragon Legion has converged with the Sunset Legion, bypassing the army of Keiji Maeda. They withdrew to the sea, where ships naturally met them.
After Yang Tian finished reading it, he put these things aside, after all, these can only be regarded as appetizers, and the real feast is still to come.
It's late afternoon. Yang Tian estimated that according to the speed of Keiji Maeda and the others, there would be about an hour to reach Izumo City, and he would only have to wait another hour. According to the previous plan, they would only attack Kyoto Castle until Maeda Keiji and the others arrived at Izumo Castle, which would not only make it take Maeda Keiji and the others longer to rush back to Kyoto Castle, but also when their army entered Izumo Castle. It's hard to decide whether to go or stay.
Time passed quickly, and when the last light in the sky disappeared into the sky, Yang Tian waited for the time to make a move. Although he was now in the sky above Kyoto Castle, he had no intention of attacking Kyoto Castle directly from here. Because he knew that around the castle lord's mansion in Kyoto Castle, a large number of ballistas were deployed to deal with the enemy coming from the air. According to the information provided by Wang Kai's eyeliner here. There were no such crossbow carts around the City Lord's Mansion here, but they were deployed after Yang Tian launched a surprise attack on the city. Obviously. The reason why Oda Nobunaga deployed these things was to guard against Yang Tian.
Yang Tiankong flew south with the firebird for a distance, and then flew straight down, about ten minutes of flying, Yang Tiancai flew out of the city range of Kyoto City, and then continued to fly forward for a distance, Yang Tiancai let the firebird land.
After arriving on the ground, Yang Tian seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked in one direction with ease. A few minutes later, he came to a small hill, and then used his mind to inform all the personnel in the Xuanji Ring to get ready. Then Yang Tian launched the Earth Escape Technique, and in an instant, Yang Tian disappeared in place.
When Yang Tian emerged from the ground again, he had already come to Kyoto City, and he appeared directly outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Yang Tian looked around, his heart was quite depressed, although he came directly to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, he was not very satisfied with this result, according to his plan, he wanted to directly use the Guò Land Escape Technique, teleport to the city stele in the City Lord's Mansion, and then directly let people directly attack the city stele. In order to do this, he was well prepared. Including asking Wang Kai to contact the eyeliner of the Wa Kingdom, find out the specific location of the stone monument in the city of Kyoto, and then after measurement, directly select a teleportation point a hundred kilometers away. You must know that Yang Tian's Earth Escape Technique teleportation distance is exactly one hundred kilometers, as long as there is no difference in surveying and mapping, his plan is completely feasible.
The reason why it failed now was not that the problem was in the surveying and mapping, but that the City Lord's Mansion in Kyoto City was unable to use the Escape Technique to teleport in, which was also a bit unexpected by Yang Tian. But after thinking about it, he also felt that it was acceptable. After all, the royal city of each country has its own unique thing, although this unique thing is not necessarily the city itself, but it really plays a role. For example, Luoyang City in the Z country can not only directly detect the intruding people in the entire city, but also automatically alarm and track, which can be described as very perverted. Now Kyoto Castle in the Wakoku District is just the castle lord's mansion that can't use the escape technique, which is very normal in comparison. Fortunately, it was not that the entire Kyoto City could not use the escape technique, otherwise Yang Tian would have to put away his thoughts and go home. Storming Kyoto Castle? He had never had the luxury of expecting that he might be able to do it in a few more years, but definitely not now.
Although it is now night, some parts of Kyoto Castle are still very bright, especially around the castle lord's palace, where torches shine like day. Therefore, as soon as Yang Tiangang came out of the ground, he was immediately discovered by the guards guarding the door, but that guy was obviously stunned by the scene in front of him, why did a person suddenly appear from the ground? But the attendant guarding the door, after all, was a man who had seen the storm, and only hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed, "There are assassins!" ”
The voice of the attendant spread far away, and suddenly the entire City Lord's Mansion boiled.
However, Yang Tian had already taken advantage of the moment when he was stunned to release Huang Zhong and the other masters from the Xuanji Ring, and quickly rushed to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The squire had just finished shouting, and was about to come with his companions to capture the enemy! was already blocked by Huang Zhong with an arrow, and none of the other seven people around him survived. Of course, although Huang Zhong's archery skills are powerful, he can't kill eight birds with one stone, except for four of them who died at the hands of Huang Zhong, the others were divided between Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
After killing the gatekeepers, Yang Tian and the others did not dare to delay in the slightest, and rushed into the City Lord's Mansion as fast as possible.
At the moment when Yang Tian and the others stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, a large number of attendants rushed out from it, Yang Tian used a reconnaissance technique, and found that most of these people were eighth-order soldiers or eighth-order adventure professions, and the team leader among them had reached the level of ninth-order soldiers or king-level adventure professions, which could be described as very strong.
Fortunately, it is Huang Zhong and other masters who are responsible for taking the lead, although these close servants are powerful, they only have the fate of being killed in seconds. Yang Tian also rushed forward, the Divine Spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and every attack would take away a life. And the most chic action is the lonely leaf mountain man, this old man dances a long sword, looking like a fairy wind and bones, but what he does is not a little merciful of the immortals, because everyone who fights with him falls to the ground like cutting wheat, and he can't even see the wounds, but if you carefully distinguish them, you will find that there is a red mark on the eyebrows of those deceased, and it is slowly spreading, and finally a stream of blood finally flows.
The attendants who rushed out from behind finally found that the situation was not good, because at this time there were more than two hundred people rushing in, what kind of assassin is this! It's obviously an enemy attack! Although they didn't know how the other party directly attacked the castle lord's mansion, the first priority now was to report this matter to the daimyo, and then transfer troops to encircle and suppress this group of rebels.
A few of the more nimble soldiers quickly retreated, and immediately rushed to the courtyard where the daimyo was sitting.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga had already learned of the existence of assassins, and was walking out of the inner courtyard with a stern face, when he suddenly saw several people rushing in a panic, and immediately stopped them and asked the reason.
These soldiers immediately told Oda Nobunaga what they had seen.
When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he immediately frowned, he had already guessed something, it must have been the army of Baiyun City that suddenly invaded the City Lord's Mansion, and the other party was likely to use the Escape Technique to enter. Otherwise, it would be impossible to come to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion so silently and not be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
Oda Nobunaga was in a bad mood, you must know that he had just received the news not long ago that Maeda Keiji led the army to Izumo Castle and was ambushed, and more than 200,000 people were killed and wounded, that was not an ordinary army of 200,000, but an elite force under his command, and 10,000 less was a loss for him, let alone 200,000.
At that time, he still felt that the other party was really bold enough, and he actually dared to ambush Maeda Keiji's million-strong army with a mere 400,000 troops. However, now it seems that he still underestimated the sunshine, and compared to attacking Kyoto City, ambushing Maeda Keiji's army is already a trivial matter.
