Morning. The weather was sunny and cloudless.

It was a good day, but the air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Kyoto Castle.

In the huge city, the doors and windows of every house are closed. On the road, only an army of samurai, ronin, soldiers, and militia was moving in groups.

Tall and heavy city walls.

A lot of materials were piled up to defend the city.

The ronins are very excited, and Okubo Tadamitsu has promised that as long as he has a meritorious battle, he can promote the ronin to the command of the daimyo and become the retainers of the daimyo.

If you are really good, you may become a retainer of Toyotomi.

This is a great opportunity for the ronin.

And in this war, the strength of the defenders is very, very strong.

Kyoto Castle.

It is a Tang Dynasty-style city with a perimeter wall. The city has a large amount of grain reserves.

Both the emperor and the minister offered a certain amount of gold as a reward.

The morale of the army is high.

Okubo Tadamitsu did not brag either, showing his skills and gathering more than 21,000 people. And reinforcements from nearby daimyo are also gathering.

In the art of war, there is a saying that the time is right, the place and the people.

At present, in the city of Kyoto, there is only a lack of time, and it occupies a favorable location.

How could Fuso lose this war?

The office was in a house. One of Toyotomi's sixteen generals. The Daimyo of the Spectrum, the Shoshidai, and the Commander Okubo Tadamitsu were wearing red armor and sitting on a small bench, closing their eyes and resting their minds.

In front of him, on the left and right, sat more than a dozen subordinates.

Some of them were his retainers, and some were officials of the Yamen on behalf of him.

The retainers of the daimyo and the shogunate were two systems.

"Da-da-da-da." There was a rush of footsteps, and then a heavily armed samurai rushed in, knelt down on one knee and reported, "Lord Tadamitsu." The vanguard of the Han army has reached the north of the city. ”

Tadamitsu Okubo opened his eyes, and the light flashed away. He stood up with the hilt of the sword at his waist and said loudly, "For the sake of the general's hegemony." ”

"Also for the sake of the Emperor."

"Warriors. As the son of the martial arts, give up your life. ”

"Yes."

The samurai stood up, bowed in unison, and responded loudly. Forthwith. Okubo Tadamitsu led the samurai out of the yamen, mounted their horses, and led the cavalry to the bottom of the north gate, climbed the city wall, and watched the Han army.

The cold wind was howling, and the cold was biting.

On the open plain ahead, there was a detachment of men and horses. Half of them lined up, facing the city gates. Half of them are encamped.

The banner is "Lu".

Okubo Tadamitsu is proficient in Chinese, and although he can't speak it, he knows the word.

Lü Buwei's Lü.

The traitor of Goguryeo, Lu Liuliang?

Okubo Tadada's eyes flashed with contempt, as a military general. The country is ruined, and the family should be seppuku. Lu Liuliang is greedy for life and afraid of death, forgets the old master, and serves the enemy, which is simply a shameless scum.

But soon, Okubo Tadamitsu's face showed a solemn look. sighed in his heart and said, "The Han army is really strong." ”

Fusang has just experienced the turmoil of the Warring States period, and the people are fierce.

The army has extremely high combat effectiveness.

But the system of Fuso. Toyotomi Shogun, Daimyo, Daimyo Retainer, Toyotomi General's Retainer, Retainer of Retainer, Soldier.

Such an army can be put in formation, but it is indeed a mixed bag.

And looking at the Han army outside the city, Okubo Tadamitsu seemed to see a mountain, a whole.

Two words.

Tough.

A big war is imminent, and of course we must not increase the morale of the enemy army and destroy our own prestige. Okubo Tadamitsu was solemn in his heart, but he didn't show half a point on his face.

The Han army took Lu Liuliang as the vanguard, and Wu Nian and Wang Gui as the Chinese army.

The vanguard is already in the city, and the Chinese army is still on the way.

In the middle of the long line. The "Han" character flag flutters in the wind, and the hunting sounds. It is like a dragon in the sky, strong in the land of Fusang, making waves.

Under the banner of Jing.

Wu Nian was wearing armor, holding a horse whip, and straddled a horse, with a majestic momentum. Wang Gui was side by side with him, slightly behind.

"Da-da-da-da." A cavalryman came retrograde, galloped in front of Wu Nian, and reported: "Great King." General Lu has already approached the city. ”

"Hmm." Wu Nian hummed softly. Then he said to the herald: "Let Zhang Cai and Zhuge Xun camp in the east of the city and the west of the city." ”

"We are stationed in the north of Kyoto City, waiting for an opportunity."

"Yes." The herald responded with his fists clenched, urged the war horse, and went down to give the order.

Wang Gui's face moved, and he clenched his fists and asked, "Does the king want to sweep away the forces of the great names on the Kyoto Plain?" ”

"Hmm. Encirclement and reinforcements. A refreshing smile appeared on Wu Nian's face.

Siege is the next step.

But Kyoto Castle must be stormed.

This time, when they went to sea, the Han army did not bring heavy siege equipment. But there were a large number of craftsmen, and some siege engines had already been built on the port.

Not to mention the quality, but at least there is.

When we arrived at Kyoto Castle, we first surrounded the castle. Leave a castle so that the daimyo in and out of Kyoto have a channel for communication.

Spend a few days building more siege machines.

But he didn't rush to attack the city, attracting the surrounding daimyo and defeating them in one fell swoop.

Along the way, Wu Nian saw many castles, large, small, and tiny. If these daimyo castles are conquered one by one, I don't know if they will be attacked until the Year of the Monkey.

Before Toyotomi Daikichi could return, the Han army had to capture the entire Kyoto Plain.

Encircle the point to send reinforcements, and it will be done once and for all.

Run the Kyoto Plains and confront Toyotomi Daikichi.

As for the emperor.

What a bonus.

Wu Nian thought that the emperor would escape, but he didn't expect to stay in Kyoto City. Since the emperor did not run away, he will not run next.

Then, there is no chance of escape.

The emperor, he wants.

Kyoto Plain, he wants.

The castles of the great names, he also wants.

It's in this battle.

Wang Gui's face also showed a smile and nodded slightly. Encircling points to send reinforcements is the essence of the king's guerrilla tactics.

It's been useless for a long time. This time, I landed in Fuso and used the encirclement point to send reinforcements.

It's been a long time.

And it's also suitable.

Kyoto is under siege, and the armies of the daimyo have not come to escort it?

Hehe.

The follow-up men of the Han army slowly arrived at Kyoto City according to the plan. And from three directions, it surrounded Kyoto Castle, leaving the south of the castle as a "living gate".

Then, the Han army did not move. Began to cut down trees and make siege machines.

For three days.

At the same time, Okubo Tadamitsu in the city was also doing his best to prepare military supplies to defend the city. Even for a little stone and wood, a lot of houses were demolished.

The army also demanded from the people some of the tools made of stone.

There was a certain amount of popular resentment.

The two sides are tense, and the big war is about to break out.
