Chapter 1096: Loyal Soul (3)
"Woo woo woo !!!"
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
The horns and drums of the Han army resounded through the mountains, and the spirit of slaughter soared into the sky.
Isshiki Castle.
The Toyotomi army fought fiercely with the Han army. The city was covered with corpses and blood, which seeped into the earth and stained the dirt black.
The walls were riddled with arrow holes.
The war has been going on for a month, and there have been heavy casualties on both sides.
The commander of the Toyotomi army was changed from Matsudaira Nobutsu, one of the sixteen god generals, to a relative of the Toyotomi family.
Mizuno Motosa.
He was the third commander-in-chief.
When the commander-in-chief changes, the army naturally changes. The wounded, tired army withdrew and replaced it with a fresh force.
The offensive force of the Toyotomi army is like a great river going east, and it is endless. And the Han army in the city, one died one less.
The only advantage of the Han army was that the mortality rate of wounded soldiers was very low. After the injury, he was able to recover quickly and go into battle again.
But even so, the Han army was already in jeopardy.
"Kill !!!" As a general, Lu Liuliang can no longer hide behind the shield soldiers, and he can command the battle with great leisure. He personally wielded a steel sword and slashed the Toyotomi soldiers who climbed the castle walls. The armor on his body was stained with blood and covered with wounds.
"Brothers. Before the last man dies in battle, the army of the Toyotomi family must not be allowed to enter Isshiki Castle. After Lu Liuliang slashed and killed a Toyotomi samurai, he took advantage of the gap to catch his breath, raised the steel knife in his hand, and shouted.
"Yes!!!"
The Han soldiers responded in order, and then fought hard.
The sound of killing moves the sky.
The eastern hills. In the formation of the Toyotomi army.
Mizuno Yuan stood up from the small bench and looked at Isshiki Castle in front of him with a blue face. Things are so bad they couldn't be worse.
The originally designed point of encirclement and reinforcement, now if you want to attack, the price you pay is too great.
Killing Lu Liuliang was full of difficulties.
It is even possible that the city of one color will not be captured.
This time, the encirclement point was sent to help.
It's a losing game.
...............
Harima Country, Himeji Castle.
This magnificent castle is lined with cherry blossom trees both inside and out. When the cherry blossoms are in bloom, it is as beautiful as a fairyland.
But now it's autumn and winter. The cherry blossom trees are bare.
Everywhere there are samurai from the Toyotomi family, leading soldiers to garrison and patrol inside and outside the city, and the aura of slaughter seems to be even colder than this cold winter.
Inside a gorgeous room.
Toyotomi Daikichi sat cross-legged on the throne with his right hand on the table.
On both sides below are the daimyo and military generals.
Toyotomi Daikichi's face was ugly, the blue tendons on his forehead were bursting up, and his right leg was constantly shaking, and the situation developed like this, leaving him on the verge of anger.
"Damn Maeda Tadamichi. Damn Lu Liuliang. Toyotomi Daikichi finally couldn't hold back, shook off a few with one palm, stood up and cursed. Immediately, because of the violent movements, he bent over and panted.
The daimyo and military generals bowed their heads in unison. Some people show a solemn look, some people hold their heads high, they are very determined, and some people have flashing eyes, as if they have thoughts in their hearts.
Toyotomi Daikichi is going crazy.
He is a reinforcement from the surrounding point.
The Han army was besieging Wei to save Zhao.
He thought that he would eat [Zhao] and kill Lu Liuliang, causing internal turmoil in the Han army. Damn Lu Liuliang guards Yishi City, like a nail household, standing tall.
Wu Nian, with the help of Maeda Tadamichi, swept through the eight western countries. The castles of the great names were breached one after another. The retainers and their families fled.
It was a blow to his reputation.
Now all the big names are ready to move.
After all, there are examples of Maeda Tadamichi. This guy begged for a life in the Han Dynasty and was very nourishing.
Fortunately, Wu Nian was the king of Han, not a Fuso warrior. Wu Nian did not allow the daimyo class to exist, and the daimyos, for the sake of their own territory, hesitated whether to cooperate with Wu Nian.
If Wu Nian is a Fusang daimyo, say for example, the overlord of the Western Kingdom or something.
Now as soon as you ascend to the heights, there may be countless big names who defect to Wu Nian and compete with him for the world.
Just like the former Hojo family.
But even so. The country of Fusang is also in danger.
The territory and power of the Han army rose. Li Tianbao's battle with Kumamoto Ninji in Kyushu gradually gained the upper hand. If Li Tianbao is allowed to enter Kyushu, then attack Shikoku.
He could only retreat and go back to Edo, Kanto, and share the Fusang world with Wu Nian.
Damn.
"Your Excellency. Tactical mistakes are also helpless. Don't be too remorseful. Just regroup and turn the tide back. Matsudaira Jinghu, the first in the world and one of the four heavenly kings of Toyotomi, bent down slightly and said.
"Lord Jinghu is right. Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Just win it back. "Jing Yi, the second in the world and one of the four heavenly kings of Toyotomi, raised his head straight, and his momentum did not decrease by half a point, like the sun, and he could not look at it directly.
"And. I have a plan. After a pause, Jing Yi said in a loud voice.
The atmosphere in the room changed, and all the daimyo and generals looked at Jing Naobi in surprise. Toyotomi Daikichi's gasps stopped, and he lowered his head and looked at Naobi Ii in surprise.
This is not the first time that the military conference has been held.
They discussed it repeatedly, but they did not come up with a plan.
Jing Yi Naobi said, I have a plan.
"Tell me about it." The opinion of the Four Heavenly Kings of Toyotomi was taken seriously by Toyotomi Daikichi, and he sat down cross-legged and said with burning eyes.
"The Han army besieged Wei to save Zhao. Now Yishi City is still under our onslaught, but Wu Nian doesn't seem to care. He's trying to run his own territory. ”
After a pause, Ii Naobicai said again: "Under the recommendation of Maeda Tadamichi, many former ministers and ronins of the Hojo family have joined Wu Nian's command. ”
"These Fusang ronins are helping Wu Nian quickly stabilize the countries."
Everyone frowned, isn't this nonsense? That's why we know about it, so we're in a hurry.
Although the Han army did not allow the existence of the samurai class and the daimyo. However, the ronin is allowed to become military officers, local officials, and receive a fortune.
And Wu Nian's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, which is naturally very attractive to the ronin.
As time passed, Wu Nian's rule in Fusang would become more and more solid.
"But. Among the nations, many castles of the great names were also breached by him. The former ministers of these daimyo are hidden in the mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to move. ”
"Now we know everything about the news in our countries. There is one of them. Wu Nian only had a small number of troops, huh. An army of about two thousand households traveled among the nations. It not only recruits talents, but also inspects the people's feelings. ”
After saying a lot, Ii Naobi, who has always been straightforward, showed his positive color, bent down towards Toyotomi Daikichi, and said, "Lord General." Allow me to lead the Red Armored Cavalry. Cut off Wu Nian's head and present it to the general. ”
Everyone's brows suddenly twisted.
Decapitation operation?!
If you can kill Wu Nian, it will naturally be done once and for all.
But what if it fails?
