Chapter 618: Defeat is like a mountain

A month passed quietly, and as the power of the Linghui Army continued to grow, Nara Castle became more and more chaotic.

Toshio Kamimu has gone completely crazy, and in a month, hundreds of civilians and more than a dozen bureaucrats have been killed. The entire city of Nara was filled with fear.

In the end, under this high-intensity oppression, the lord of Nara Castle also completely collapsed, and he called on a group of henchmen to assassinate Emperor Jimmu overnight, setting the palace on fire.

The castle lord's soldiers and horses were not manpowered, and with their strength, trying to assassinate Emperor Jimmu was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it was quickly suppressed. The castle lord and his family were all beheaded in front of the emperor.

But before the city lord died, he finally set the palace on fire.

The night sky was lit up by raging fires, and the roar of the city lord before he died echoed above the city.

The roar was accompanied by an angry scolding of Toshio Kamitake, and the sorrow for the innocent people he had killed.

This night was ignited not only by the palace of Toshio Shenwu, but also by the anger in the hearts of the people.

When the head of the castle lord was hung at the gate of the palace, the people of Nara Castle were furious, and they spontaneously organized themselves and went out into the streets with farm tools and kitchen knives, and when they saw the army of Toshio Jimmu, they desperately slashed and killed.

Soon, many of the vassal kings' troops also took the opportunity to join the rebels.

No one wants to stay under Toshio Kamimu and live in fear, and no one wants to be called the next person to be killed by him.

The castle of Nara was in chaos, and the army of the common people, the feudal king, and the personal guard of Toshio Jimmu were all together, and the blood and flames rendered the night terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, a feudal lord named Yamanaka Roadno was extremely clean-headed, and he took the lead in leading his troops to seize the gates of Nara Castle, and ordered his soldiers to open the gates to welcome Princess Taketori Sayo into the castle.

This rebellion against Toshio Kamitake is really a helpless move, overthrowing Toshio Kamitake, they will also have no backer, and at this moment the only way to take refuge in Taketori Koyo is the best policy.

When Li Hao saw the open city gate, his heart was also greatly excited, and he immediately ordered all the troops to go into battle and kill along the city gate.

The Linghui Army, the Tang Heavenly Army, and the forces of the various vassal kings of Dongying who had taken refuge in Taketori Koyo in advance immediately attacked and entered the city.

The city was already in chaos at this time, and under the protection of the night, it had completely become the home of the falcon warriors.

They climbed onto the rooftops to find their way, sounding arrows with flags and pointing out the way and the enemy to the troops on the ground.

Rushing all the way in the direction pointed by the falcon warriors, the momentum was as strong as a bamboo, and soon the formation of the Shenwu Toshio personal guard army was crushed.

In just one night, the entire Nara Castle had fallen, and Toshio Jimmu had no choice but to abandon the city and flee to the northwest with tens of thousands of troops.

In this way, Nara Castle, the defense line of Emperor Toei who gathered the strength of the whole country, was taken lightly by Li Hao.

Seeing this result, Lin Tianyi of the Tang Heavenly Army even threw himself into the ground with Li Hao's admiration. People say that the battlefield is like a chess game, and a single son can decide the honor and disgrace.

But Li Hao has always been a chess player, and the direction of the chessboard situation is under his control.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a god.

After capturing Nara Castle, Li Hao did not rush to pursue Emperor Jimmu, but began to converge the various armies of Toei on the spot, gathering under the command of Taketori Koyo.

Taketori Koyo is still a little-known girl with the name of Lady Ryuhime after all, her background is too thin, if she doesn't have her own power henchmen, everyone gathers around her, it's just because the legend of Lady Ryuhime is too loud.

Once this enthusiasm gradually fades, this team, which has no foundation, is likely to fall apart in a short time.

Therefore, Li Hao chose the latter between pursuing Emperor Jimmu and consolidating power for Taketori Koyo.

Fortunately, Taketori Koyo has a central servant Uesugi Onimai by his side. He has been famous in Dongying for a long time, and his reputation is quite high, and most of the princes and vassal kings from all walks of life are old acquaintances with him. In addition, Taketori Koya is not a mediocre person, she perfectly inherited her mother's intelligence and wit, and with the help of Uesugi Onimai, she quickly gathered the loyalty of the various feudal kings.

Knowing that Nara Castle was completely calm, Taketori Koya's men already had seventy or eighty thousand troops loyal to her, which could be said to have greatly increased their power.

This speed of development is embarrassing, even Li Hao feels a little incredible, it can only be said that the ideology and enslavement education of the Dongying people are indeed very suitable for condensing people's hearts, and Mrs. Long Ji is really a strange woman, after more than 20 years, she still has such an influence.

Nara Castle was pacified, and now it has really taken half of Toei. Next, Li Hao began to prepare a plan to deal with Shenwu Junfu.

Now Toei has been divided into two factions, one faction is the line of Emperor Toei, although Toshio Kamimu has fallen to the point of rebellion, but his subordinates are at the mercy of tens of thousands of troops, and their strength should not be underestimated.

One faction is Fu, led by Taketori Koyo

The Xing faction firmly fulfilled the oath of overthrowing Toshio Shenmu and rebuilding the glory of the Taketori clan.

With Taketori Xiaoye here, the Russian army led by Li Hao also eased relations with this group of Dongying officials, and it was no longer the hostile relationship that it had at the beginning. Officials from all walks of life are also very willing to help Li Hao, find the fugitive Shenwu Junfu, and completely overthrow him in one sentence.

This time, even Li Hao did not leave Nara Castle before he received news from Toshio Kammu.

Legend has it that on the day of the Nara Castle Rebellion, Toshio Kammu saw that the general situation was gone, so he fled with his tens of thousands of troops, and after several tosses, he finally returned to Toei Kyoto, and seemed to want to resist stubbornly.

It's just that with the little strength he has now, he is no longer an opponent at all, and it is only a matter of time before the Shenwu line perishes.

After learning the news, Li Hao immediately ordered the whole army to reorganize, choose a day to go out, and go straight to Kyoto.

The army revised in Nara Castle for several days, and then under the leadership of Li Hao, Lin Tianyi and Taketori Koyo, the whole army of nearly 200,000 people slaughtered in the direction of Kyoto.

The guards along the way descended one after another, and Taketori Koyo's team continued to grow, while Toshio Kamitake's troops became smaller and smaller.

By the time the army arrived in Kyoto, there were only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers left guarding the capital.

Whether it is the Tang Heavenly Army or the Linghui Army, the elite level is far superior to the Dongying Army, and now under the crushing of the number of people, Kyoto has become precarious.

Everyone can see that the vein of Shenwu Junfu is already like a candle in the wind, and it is about to wither.

The 200,000-strong army surrounded the entire Kyoto, and Toshio Kamimu could only hide in the city with tens of thousands of remnants and did not dare to come out. For a while, food and water were cut off, and it was difficult to resist.

It has only been a month since the Battle of Nara Castle. The entire Shenwu clan is responding to the sentence that the army is defeated like a mountain, and it has no ability to resist the Linghui army at all. can only rely on the towering city walls to survive.

In the Imperial City of Kyoto, Toshio Kamimu sat on the throne of the emperor, looked at the few officials under the group, and sighed that the general trend had gone. There was a gloomy look on his face, without the majesty of the emperor at all.

"That's it! Heaven wants to destroy my Shenwu clan, what is this emperor resisting? Toshio Shenwu smiled bitterly, and he already had a surrender in his heart.

Several Wenchen hurriedly brought pen and paper, wanting to ask Toshio Shenwu to write a book of descent.

Unexpectedly, at this time, outside the door of the main hall, a few people with white hats suddenly walked in.
