"Hmm." Hidenobu Honda looked satisfied, his eyebrows full of pride.

The armies of the daimyo did not belong to each other, and even hated each other. A person who can command the armies of the daimyo is an extraordinary person in his own right.

"Bring me the map." Honda Hidenobu said in a deep voice to his little surname.

"Yes." The little surname bent down in response, turned around and went down. Soon after. He retrieved a huge map and laid it on the ground.

Honda Hidenobu picked up a round stick, stood up and walked to the map, and said, "This is the layout of the Han army. Familiar with it? ”

"The Han army is in Kyoto City, opening its mouth and wanting to eat us."

Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on Honda Hidenobu's face.

Hearing this, the generals nodded, and the intention of the Han army was very obvious, and they surrounded the point to send reinforcements.

But there's a catch.

Kiyomori Sasaki said, "But Hidenobu-sama. We knew the intentions of the Han army, but we had to go. This is because this is the residence of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"If Kyoto is breached by the Han army, His Majesty the Emperor will be captured by the Han army. It will cause a huge shock in Fuso, and we cannot afford this consequence. ”

"Hmm. Kiyomori-sama is right. So we have to grasp a degree. Kyoto cannot be broken by the Han army, nor can it be surrounded by the Han army. ”

Honda Hidenobu hummed and said with a smile.

The generals frowned, some pondered, some shook their heads. Fish and bear's paws, where is there such a cheap thing in this world?

Hidenobu Honda was already confident, but he didn't immediately say his strategy. Instead, he said, "After my statistics." Our army has more than 20,000 men. ”

"But a lot of them are ronin, militia. The combat effectiveness is not very good. ”

"So. I decided to be here in Shaoshan to run in the army and increase the combat strength. ”

Without waiting for the generals to speak, Honda Hidenobu said, "And Lord Okubo Tadamitsu has also gathered more than 20,000 people in Kyoto. Relying on the city wall, it can resist and weaken the strength of the Han army. ”

The generals who were thinking fast at the scene immediately understood.

But they were still taken aback. Sasaki Kiyomori frowned and asked, "I understand what Hidenobu-sama meant." ”

"But we watched Kyoto being attacked and didn't come to the rescue. Borrow the power of Kyoto to weaken the Han army. In the heart of Lord Tadamitsu Okubo, I am afraid that resentment will arise. ”

"The general's side, it's not easy to explain."

"And. It's hard to grasp this degree. What if Kyoto is breached? ”

Honda Hidenobu nodded and said, "Kiyomori-sama is right. Therefore, we have to tell the general about our plan. ”

"We didn't mean to put Kyoto in danger. It's that we send troops now, and it is very likely that they will be eaten by the Han army. ”

"It's a helpless move."

"As for Tadamitsu-sama Okubo, after the war, I will personally ask him for guilt."

"Don't worry about Kyoto, it's very sturdy."

"Yes." Sasaki Kiyomori had no other choice but to obey.

With Honda Hidenobu's order. The reinforcements of the daimyo stayed in the large camp near Shaoshan, running in their combat strength and standing still.

............

Midday.

Inside and outside Kyoto Castle.

The Han army retreated to the barracks like a tide, and the soldiers began to eat. The siege vehicles were withdrawn and awaited an afternoon attack.

The Fuso defenders in the city got a chance to breathe. Hurriedly gasping for breath, or sitting on the ground, or simply lying down, taking the opportunity to recover.

Taking advantage of this time, a large number of people with rice balls and other food climbed the city wall and handed it to the defenders.

Despite the fact that their hands were covered with blood, the defenders grabbed the rice balls and swallowed them in large gulps.

Okubo Tadamitsu climbed the city wall with some samurai and looked around, his brow furrowed. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the strength of the Han army was still beyond his expectations.

The defenses of Kyoto Castle were not as strong as he had imagined.

And the army of the great names actually stopped at Shaoshan.

Tadamitsu Okubo also guessed Hidenobu Honda's intentions and knew what was going on, but he still felt dissatisfied. If Kyoto is breached, then he will have to apologize.

Damn it.

"Bump". Okubo Tadamitsu clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it against the women's wall, showing a little remorse on his face.

If you had known earlier. It is better to send His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers out of the city first.

I'm arrogant.

Han Army.

The Wanggui camp in the north of Kyoto Castle was formed independently. Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wu Nian sat on the main seat in civilian clothes, and below him were Kitahara Sosuke, Wang Gui, and Kyogoku Yukiri.

Wu Nian raised his right hand and gently pinched his chin. "This person named Honda Hidenobu deserves to be known as the third in the world. Guessed the widow's intentions and responded. ”

"It's not going to be easy now." Wang Gui sighed. If Hidenobu Honda is a fool, he will lead his troops to the rescue.

A siege point to send reinforcements, and it was successful.

But now.

"It doesn't matter." Wu Nian smiled in his eyes, shook his head and said, "We have the emperor in our hands. ”

"Continue to let the three generals storm Kyoto. Okubo Tadamitsu in the city can't hold on, and he will definitely ask for help in waves. ”

"Honda Hidenobu is quite prestigious, resourceful, and capable. But the rabble under his command, even if he let him hone in on his combat power. And what use can it be? ”

"The widow himself leads you, and it is easy to defeat him in the field."

"That's right." Wang Gui laughed when he heard this. The king of Han led the Ouchi guard Wanhu to personally go out to deal with the rabble under Honda Hidenobu, and still fail?

Although it was a little troublesome, the result was still the same.

Honda Hidenobu is just a grasshopper after the fall, let him stumble again.

Art.

Lure the enemy into attacking.

Wu Nian didn't have any good means, so he caught Kyoto and the emperor and beat him wildly, forcing Honda Hidenobu to go into battle.

Shaoshan Camp.

Hidenobu Honda led his retainers to patrol the barracks. After carefully observing all the daimyo's troops, he turned back to the large tent and sat down.

With a look of satisfaction on his face, he said, "It's only a short ten days. However, the appearance of the army of the daimyo is much better than it was ten days ago. ”

"The Han army is still storming Kyoto, with heavy casualties. The situation is moving in our favour. ”

The retainers nodded their heads with smiles on their faces. They looked at their lord's gaze, full of trust and respect.

Our lord is the third in the world.

Whether it is resourcefulness or martial bravery, it is a super strong existence.

Although the Han army is strong, it is just a plaything in the hands of our lord.

"Da !!" At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded rapidly. Soon after. A samurai was brought in.

The samurai knelt down on one knee panting, bowed his head, and said, "Hidenobu-sama." Kyoto can't hold on. Please send troops quickly. ”

"If you don't send troops again. Lord Tadamitsu is about to organize his forces and break through with His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Honda Hidenobu's face suddenly showed a solemn expression. This is already the messenger of the eighth wave of Okubo Tadamitsu, and all those in front of him have been rejected by him.

And this time the words are serious.

Breakout?

It seems that the mountains and rivers are really exhausted.

But that's okay.

The Han army attacked the city so fiercely that it must have suffered heavy losses. And my army has also run into combat strength.

Encirclement for reinforcements?

No.

It was the combination of the inside and the outside, and all the Han troops were eaten.

Honda Hidenobu has a pair of tiger eyes, and the essence is flourishing.
