The battle in Izumo City has continued, and in the eyes of the Japanese ** team, this war is extremely fierce, but in the eyes of Guo Jia and others, it is a bit tepid.

Guo Jia and the others stood on the bow of the ship, quietly observing the battle on the city wall.

The sword warrior said with a smile: "It seems that this Izumo City is not as difficult to fight as imagined!" This is still a fourth-level heavy city, and it is much easier than attacking those cities in the Xiliang Rebellion before. ”

Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said, "There is no comparison between the two. In the Xiliang Rebellion, each of the warring cities was a collection of armies from a large territory in the rear, including a large number of Inhumans. And now that this Izumo City is just a normalized garrison, it is naturally not so easy to deal with our gathered army. What's more, the strength of our Baiyun City has been greatly improved after the Xiliang Rebellion, and the combined strength of all the main legions at that time is probably not much stronger than the current White Tiger Legion. ”

The sword man patted his head and said, "I didn't think about it. ”

Qin Chu sighed at this time and said, "It's only been two hours now, and this Izumo City is already weak to resist. Although the rocks and oil caused us some casualties, the opponent was unable to reverse the situation, and it seems that we will have to reduce the intensity of our attacks. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Qin Chu has observed carefully, the reason why I arranged it this way is just to test the strength of this Cloud City, now that the goal has been achieved, I will naturally have to make some adjustments later." …… General Hu Cong, you order to go down, let everyone take it easy, don't take this city down so soon. ”

Hu Cong grinned and said, "Don't worry! I'll arrange it! After saying that, Hu Cong turned his head and left.

"Brother Hansheng, have the Blue Dragon Legion and the Sunset Legion arrived at the established location?" Guo Jia turned his head to Huang Zhong and asked.

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "More than ten minutes ago, they had already sent news that they had arrived at their destination. ”

Guo Jia nodded, then turned to Bocai and said, "Captain Bocai, the lord will come over to pick me up and Hansheng and the others in a while, and the battle in Izumo City will be handed over to you." All you need to do is follow the plan and drag out the battle until dusk today. ”

Bo Cai smiled very confidently: "Guo Junshi, don't worry, although the lower officials don't have any great talents, there is no problem in fighting this lonely city, not to mention that there are so many elite soldiers and strong generals." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The commander of the Bocai Legion is humble, a few years ago, when the commander of the Bocai Legion was still in the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers surrounded the Changshe, but it made Huangfu Song and others suffer a lot!" ”

……

The defending army of Izumo Castle was about to despair, because the other side was already about to rush the castle walls. Now that the opponent has not yet established a foothold on the city wall, it has already made them feel that it is difficult to defend, and if the opponent is allowed to fight them head-on on the city wall, then they will not be an opponent. Moreover, they are already the most powerful army in Izumo City, and neither of them can stop each other's footsteps, so who can they count on?

It had only been more than two hours, and it was still a long time before reinforcements from Kyoto Castle arrived, and they seemed to have seen the destruction of the castle.

But at this moment, the opponent's offensive actually slowed down, and all the Japanese soldiers suddenly lost their pressure, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. An idea came to them in their hearts, it seems that these Baiyun City troops are not iron-clad! Such high-intensity battles cannot last long.

These soldiers were ignorant and didn't see the truth, but the generals who stayed in the city saw it clearly, this was not because the other party was not supportive, but deliberately releasing water.

On the layer of protected city tower, the city lord was frowning, he didn't understand why the Baiyun City army suddenly slowed down the intensity of the attack, and after a while, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, he thought of what Yang Tian had done in the southern part of Honshu Island before, and couldn't help but exclaim at the moment: "Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" These guys are going to surround and send reinforcements! ”

The other generals around were suddenly shocked, and they immediately understood the meaning of the city lord's words, if the other party really surrounded the point to send reinforcements, it was their Izumo City that was surrounded, and it was the reinforcements that came from all over the country, and it was likely that the three major armies who came from Kyoto City also included. As soon as they thought of this, cold sweat suddenly broke out all over their bodies.

One of the generals said, "Castle lord, we have to do our best to report this news to Oda Daimyo!" Otherwise, the three legions would be in danger. ”

One of the advisors standing next to the city lord said, "Don't do this! If we tell the news to the Oda Daimyo, then the Daimyo may send reinforcements back, and we won't be able to keep Izumo Castle. Once Izumo Castle is lost, the power of the castle lord will be gone. There is another sentence that the strategists did not say, this sentence is that the power of the city lord is gone, and they, as the strategists and generals under the city lord, will naturally lose their power.

The city lord didn't guess the careful thinking of the strategist, he was attracted by the other party's last words. He is the lord of the city here, and he is also the leader of the strongest legion in Izumo City. However, he knew very well in his heart that if he was not the lord of Izumo City, then this legion leader would probably be replaced by someone else. However, as a subordinate of Oda Daimyo, he felt sorry for the Daimyo's trust if he did not report the news, and at the same time, if the three major armies were to be destroyed by an ambush at that time, he would definitely be the first to be unlucky, because he had concealed important military information.

The advisor saw the castle lord's thoughts, and immediately said, "Kaiyu castle lord, although we can't tell the daimyo what we have seen here, we can warn the daimyo to be careful of the ambush on the road. The strength of the three major legions sent by the Daimyo, as long as you are careful, there will definitely be no problems. Moreover, even if something goes wrong at that time, the daimyo will track it down, and the lord of the castle will have an explanation. ”

The lord of the castle was immediately moved, and after a moment of contemplation, he immediately asked the advisor to draw up a letter, and after looking at it, he tied the letterhead to the leg of a carrier pigeon and asked it to be brought to Oda Nobunaga.

In fact, this strategist really misestimated Oda Nobunaga's anger towards Yang Tian, when he received this letter, although he also felt that Baiyun City might send troops to intercept reinforcements, but he didn't think that the other party dared to intercept the three major legions he sent. You must know that it is more than a million eighth-order soldiers, and it is basically impossible for Baiyun City to gnaw down these three major legions while attacking Cloud City.

In the end, Oda Nobunaga still sent a letter to Maeda Keiji, asking him to be more careful, and if he encountered an ambush in Baiyun City, he tried to annihilate them as much as possible.

……

Keiji Maeda led the three major legions along the official road, and although he knew that such a rapid march would greatly deplete the soldiers' bodies and even affect their combat effectiveness, he had no other way, and Oda Daimyo gave him a death order to rush to Izumo Castle before dark. If you really advance at the normal marching speed, it is estimated that even if you rush overnight, by the time you reach Izumo City, it will already be the second half of the night, and the daylily will be cold by then.

When he had traveled for more than two hours and had walked nearly 100 kilometers, he suddenly received a letter from Oda Nobunaga, telling him to be more careful along the way to avoid being ambushed by the army of Baiyun City, and ordering him to destroy them all if he encountered an ambush.

After reading it, Keiji Maeda disagreed, he was very confident in his strength. What if there is an ambush? He has every strength to make the other party go and never return. As a veteran of the battlefield all year round, Keiji Maeda naturally knows how to avoid being ambushed, and perfect reconnaissance measures are essential.

An hour passed, and no movement was noticed along the way......

Two hours passed, and there was still no movement along the way......

Five hours later, Maeda Keiji still did not encounter an ambush, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the Baiyun City army was shocked by his prestige and did not dare to ambush him. Because he is very familiar with the situation from Kyoto Castle to Izumo Castle, now that the best ambush location has passed, the chances of an ambush by the other party are not very good.

Keiji Maeda rode a BMW and said to Toyotomi Hideyoshi beside him: "Toyotomi-kun, it seems that this Baiyun City army is not as powerful as the legend!" We only need to force the march for another three hours, and we will be able to reach Izumo Castle along the way. We haven't heard the news of Izumo Castle being breached yet, so nothing should happen. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face was calm, and he said: "As far as it seems now, this qiē is very smooth, but it is precisely because of Shun lì that it makes people feel abnormal." Therefore, we still cannot relax our minds. ”

Maeda Keiji said with a smile: "Toyotomi-kun is too careful, after the shallow hilly area in front of him, there is a canyon plain more than seventy kilometers long in front of him, most of the plains are farmland, and it is difficult to see even trees that are more than one person high, how can the other party ambush?" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not refute this, but said, "Be careful! ”

Keiji Maeda suddenly shut up, could he say that it was better to be careless?

The army continued to advance, and in less than a quarter of an hour the forward troops were out of this shallow hilly area, and they were greeted by a great river that came around from the east, flowing straight north, and on each side of the river alluvial a strip of four or five kilometers wide partiality, and on either side of the flat land were cliffs about four or five hundred meters high. The flat land is not very high from the river level, only about four or five meters, and there are indeed no forests on this narrow flat land, and even if there are some trees in some places, they are very low. The houses were also built in a very strange way, often using stone to build platforms five or six meters high before they were built. It's a very special sight.

However, Keiji Maeda and others knew very well that the reason why this situation occurred here was entirely because of this river. Although the river seems to be very docile now, when it rains upstream, the river floods the plain and completely submerges the area, and it is only natural that the trees will not grow tall. Fortunately, because the flat land on both sides of the river is very wide, once the river overflows, it will rise at most three or four meters high, which is why those houses are built on high platforms.
