"Sakakihara Palace, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, and it seems that the old thief Ishida is planning to die with us. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "A samurai hurried to Sakakihara Yasumasa, who was commanding the army to attack the castle tower, and shouted.

Sakakiwara Yasumasa has almost seen the dawn of victory, the castle tower has been opened under the attack of the Eastern Army, and there is even news from the front that he has seen Chacha and Toyotomi Hideyori, Sakakiwara Yasumasa was just about to report the good news to Tokugawa Ieyasu in his heart, but he did not expect to receive such bad news, he raised his eyes, only to see countless black smoke rising around, and the air became viscous and hot, it seems that this rich city is probably not going to be saved.

"Sakakihara-sama, let's withdraw our troops quickly, if not, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!" Matsudaira Tadayoshi hurriedly persuaded, and this sudden change made him panic immediately.

In front of them were Toyotomi Hideyori and Ishida Mitsunari who were about to be captured, surrounded by raging fires, Sakakihara Yasumasa was in a dilemma, but in the end the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots for the Tokugawa family prevailed, "No, who can know that this is not Ishida Mitsunari's plan to survive, if we withdraw our troops now, I'm afraid Ishida Mitsunari will immediately flee with Toyotomi Hideyori, if so, my hard battle for these days will be in vain!" Sakakihara Yasumasa decided not to allow them to give up victory at the last moment, even if they lived their own lives, "Gentlemen, the time has come to show your loyalty to your lordship, and join me in attacking the castle tower, and excite Ishida Mitsunari and Toyotomi Hideyori to kill them on the spot!" ”

"Sakakibara-sama, if the Shokaku is already in flames today, and Ishida Mitsunari and Toyotomi Hideyori can't escape no matter what, why do you want to take the risk?" Matsudaira Tadashi persuaded bitterly again.

"No, Matsudaira, who knows if Toyotomi Hideyoshi left a secret passage to the outside of the castle when he built this castle tower? I didn't see the bodies of the two of them, so I didn't feel at ease anyway. With that, Sakakihara Yasumasa led his soldiers into the fire, and Matsudaira Tadashi hesitated, and finally stomped his feet and led the army to flee outside the city.

"Hahaha! Is this Amaterasu punishing the Tokugawa family? Ishida Mitsunari, who was already cornered, stood at the top of the castle tower and laughed, his defeat in this battle had become a foregone conclusion, he was ready to send Toyotomi Hideyori on the road first and then commit suicide by himself, but the scene in front of him made him stop again, in such a big fire, how much could the Tokugawa army that entered the city escape? With so many people on the road with them, you won't feel lonely on the road, right?

"Bring the wine! The scene is as beautiful as the cherry blossoms withering, so how can you not have good wine? Ishida Mitsunari ordered someone to bring the sake, and while drinking it, he watched the Tokugawa army wail in the midst of the fire, singing poignant tunes, ignoring the fact that the castle tower was also in flames.

After drinking the perfect wine, the fire had already burned to the highest point, Ishida Mitsunari threw away the wine jug, packed up his clothes, and then respectfully walked to Toyotomi Hideyori and knelt down, "Lord, it's time to go on the road!" ”

Cha Cha on the side hugged his child with tears streaming down his face, and refused to hand him over to Ishida Mitsunari no matter what, but Ishida Mitsunari had made up his mind, he didn't want the young Hideyori to fall into the hands of the Tokugawa family and be tortured, so he ordered Cha Cha to pull away left and right, feed her the poison that had been prepared, and then hang Toyotomi Hideyori to death with his own hands.

Then the bodies of the two of them were burned, and then he knelt on the ground upright, slowly opened his chest clothes, pulled out the ribs and stabbed them violently, and drew a cross in the abdomen with this sharp sword to endure the severe pain, and after waiting for a long time, he slashed at his neck with tears, and Ishida Mitsunari's head fell to the ground.

At this time, Sakakiwara Yasumasa, whose hair and clothes were full of flames, arrived here, and saw the head of Ishida Mitsunari and the two corpses burning in the flames next to him, Sakakihara Yasumasa was relieved, but unfortunately he had exhausted his life in order to get here, and after giving the order to bring the news to Tokugawa Hidetada, Sakakiwara Yasumasa also fell next to Ishida Mitsunari, and since then the famous "Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings" have all died.

"What's going on! What's going on! Seeing that victory was about to come, but suddenly encountering this situation, looking at the burning Osaka Castle in front of him, Tokugawa Hidetada, who remained outside the city, was dumbfounded.

"Lord, this may be Ishida Mitsunari's dying counterattack, right? It seems that they have already hidden the ignition in Osaka Castle, and when the defeat is decided, they will light the fire and die with me! Okubo Tadasa, an old minister of the Tokugawa family beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of today, we should immediately order the whole army to go out of the city to reduce losses." ”

Matsudaira Tadayoshi, who was embarrassed while talking, had already rushed to Tokugawa Hidetada, and when he saw him, Tokugawa Hidetada hurriedly asked, "Where is Sakakihara Yasumasa?" Didn't you attack the castle tower together? Why didn't he come back? ”

"My lord, Yasumasa was afraid that Ishida Mitsunari and Toyotomi Hideyori would escape from the secret passage, so he led people to rush into the castle tower, and now... Now I'm afraid that I have died in the flames. Matsudaira Tadashi knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, Tokugawa Hidetada's eyes were dark and he almost fainted, is it possible that the family business left by his father will be completely destroyed in this Osaka Castle?

The fire burned for three days and three nights before it ended, and by this time the city was in ruins, and there was nothing left! Except for a few guys who escaped in advance, all the Western Army died here, Toyotomi Hideyori, Ishida Mitsunari, Sanada Yukimura, Mori Terumoto and others died in the city, and the Western Army had lost its last strength.

And the eastern army is not much better than them, only the more than 10,000 people who followed Tokugawa Hidetada's side are still intact, and most of the rest of the troops who entered the city were killed in the fire, and there is not one of the ten who can escape, and the final count of the number of people, the 160,000 army at the time of the expedition is now less than 30,000 people, and many of them have been burned, and this number will be reduced in the next period of time.

Tokugawa Hidetada's face was like ashes, although he had no opponent at the moment, but what he wanted was a complete Osaka Castle, not the ruins in front of him, and how should he pay compensation to Ming Guo without the wealth in the city? And with the 30,000 troops in his hands and the few remaining retainers and generals, can he still control the entire Wa Kingdom? Not to mention seizing the world with this little force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even hold the existing territory of the Tokugawa family, right?

While Tokugawa Hidetada was sentimental, a young man lightly opened the curtain and walked in, "Lord, General Chen of the Ming Kingdom is here." ”
