The wind is bitterly cold and the wind is howling.

Inside Pingqiu City.

The samurai standing guard had his cheeks flushed. The patrolling samurai involuntarily quickened their pace.

Honmaru. in one room.

Oda Nobuya sat on his knees on the throne, his face very ugly. Below, a young man bent over with a solemn face.

"It's a wrong step, a wrong step." Oda Nobumasa sighed and gritted his teeth.

The abominable Takahashi Heimori.

Because of his defection, the front line was shaken. In the past half month, many generals and daimyo in the front-line defense system have either been defeated and killed, or have withdrawn their troops and left.

At this time, if you stay in Pingqiu City, you will be at risk of being surrounded by the Han army.

Oda Nobumasa waved his hand to let the little surname go down, and a map came to mind.

Now in front of him, the only way back to the Kanto Plain is to take a long way. Or take a short walk to Osaka Castle, which is just a stone's throw away.

Now the front line collapses, detours, and may be ambushed.

And in Osaka Castle, there are enough soldiers and food. There is also Matsudaira Jinghu in charge. It's a good place to go.

Thinking of this, Oda Nobumasa no longer hesitated, stood up, and ordered loudly: "Someone." Abandoning the castle, the whole army marched to Osaka Castle. ”

"Yes."

Among the small surnames who knelt on the left and right of pushing the door, one of the small surnames shouted yes, and then went down to give the order. Soon after, Oda Nobumasa ordered Konoha Castle to be burned, and led thousands of soldiers under his command, countless grains, grasses, and baggage, along the main road, to Osaka Castle.

Now the front-line defense of the Toyotomi army has collapsed. Oda Nobumasa had a very difficult time communicating with the defeated armies. Therefore, Oda Nobumasa did not know.

Most of the daimyo and military generals who were defeated or retreated went to Osaka Castle in unison.

Osaka Castle.

The city is very strong.

Food, military supplies piled up.

The samurai in the north, as well as the world's No. 1 Matsudaira Keitora in the town, are too secure.

The road between Hiragaoka Castle and Osaka Castle is straight and very close. Oda Nobumasa was worried that he would encounter an ambush from the Han army on the road.

He ordered the whole army to be on alert, and had the spies scattered around the area so as not to fall into an ambush.

But fortunately, the journey was safe.

The next afternoon. Oda Nobumasa led thousands of soldiers and horses, a large amount of grain, grass, and military supplies, to the outside of Osaka City.

Osaka Castle, the gates are open. Matsudaira Keitora led a small number of samurai and stood at the gate of the city to personally greet Oda Nobumasa.

"Lord Jinghu." Oda Nobumasa looked at Matsudaira Keitor's face, and suddenly his heart was relieved, and he smiled, turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to bow.

"Lord Shinmasa." Matsudaira Jinghu's face was not happy at all, and he bowed and saluted.

Oda Nobumasa thought that it was Takahashi Heimori's affair, which led to the Toyotomi family's frontline defense and lost all the games, so Matsudaira Keitora was in a bad mood.

But once he entered the city, he realized that something was wrong.

"How can there be so many soldiers?" Oda Nobu was standing on the road, looking at the soldiers and samurai who were encamped on the flat ground, and lost his voice.

"Except for Lord Nobumasa, most of the daimyo and military generals came to Osaka Castle with their troops. Plus the army of Lord Shinmasa. At present, the number of troops in Osaka Castle is at least 40,000. ”

"Lord Shinmasa, he also brought some food and military supplies. Some daimyo and military generals didn't bring back a grain of rice. Lord Shinmasa. Do you know what that means? ”

Matsudaira Keitora stood still, turned his head and sighed at Oda Nobumasa.

Oda Nobumasa was like a slap in the face, stunned like a wooden chicken, and then his body trembled, his face turned pale, and he sweated like a pulp.

He certainly knows what that means.

The front-line defense system collapsed, and the defeated army could gain a foothold if it retreated to the second line of defense. But they were cut and defeated by the Han army, and they could not communicate with each other.

It's all the same.

No.

Now it seems that the Han army deliberately drove them to Osaka Castle.

Kii, Ise, Omi, Iga, Yamato, and Kawachi may not be able to keep it. Ahead, only Osaka Castle remains.

40,000, at least 40,000.

Osaka Castle is strong, but I don't have enough food to eat.

I see.

I see.

Wu Nian's strategy against Takahashi Heimori was not only to break down the front line of the Toyotomi family, but the real purpose was Osaka Castle.

Oda Nobumasa, who realized it later, had a blue face.

Matsudaira Keitori glanced at Oda Nobumasa, then sighed lightly and walked towards the castle tower.

He was ambushed outside the city, facing an army of 200,000 Han troops, but he broke through the Maeda Tadado camp and burned the camp, which is still vivid.

In the blink of an eye, the situation flipped upside down. The strength of Osaka Castle has greatly increased.

A big increase in strength is a bad thing.

Damn Hojo Masa, damn Takahashi Heimori.

Matsudaira Jinghu clenched his fists and scolded in his heart.

Soon, Matsudaira Keitora led Oda Nobumasa into the castle tower and sat down.

The daimyo and military generals who had retreated or retreated from the front were already seated. There were more than 10 people. Oda Nobumasa came to the first place and knelt down.

Matsudaira Keitora came to the main seat and sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Now the situation has reached a very critical point. If I'm not bad as expected. Now the Han army has cut off all roads and blocked us in Osaka Castle. ”

"Wu Nian either simply besieged us, or surrounded us to send reinforcements. Draw the Shogun out of Edo Castle and come to our rescue. ”

"We know what Wu Nian will do, but we can't do anything. All we can do now is reduce food consumption. Silently guarding the city. ”

"Start today. Thirty percent of each person's daily ration is subtracted. Even so. We have less than a year's worth of food. ”

"And the reduction of the food supply will definitely make the samurai and soldiers dissatisfied. Ladies and gentlemen. The time has come to test us. ”

Matsudaira Jinghu's tone was extremely heavy.

"Yes." Oda Nobumasa and the others bowed in response, their faces extremely solemn.

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

In a valley.

There is a Han military camp.

The "Han" character flag, flying with the wind, hunting sounds, majestic momentum. The soldiers in the battalion are all holding their heads high and in high spirits.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wu Nian sat with Wang Gui, An Shanya, Wind Demon and others, everyone's faces were relaxed and happy.

"It's finally done. Now Matsudaira Jinghu's food can't be eaten for three years. Wu Nian smiled slightly.

"Hahaha." The crowd burst out laughing. What a brilliant idea.

Matsudaira Jinghu thought that he could defend Osaka Castle by relying on 5,000 samurai from the north, 5,000 elite soldiers, and mountains of grain.

Okay now, hold you out.

"The King. What to do next. Is it simply to besiege Osaka Castle, or to encircle the point and send reinforcements? Wang Gui restrained his laughter and asked in a deep voice.

"Let Lu Liuliang, Zhang Cai, Zhuge Xun, and Li Liangchen four generals. Deployed defenses in Omi and Ise to stop Toyotomi Daikichi. Hold on to the land we have been given. ”

"The remaining 110,000 households surrounded Osaka Castle. Set up camp and garrison. ”

"Let's eat Osaka Castle first."

"Also. Wind Demon Ninja poured out of the nest. Plotting against the daimyo and military generals of the Toyotomi system, and creating rumors. Now the Han army has the absolute upper hand. If they don't surrender again, they will have to be buried with the Toyotomi family. ”

Wu Nian did not hesitate and immediately ordered.

"Yes."

When they heard this, they answered loudly, and they got up and went down together.
