Chapter 1125: The End of Toyotomi (5)

Night.

The wind was blowing and it was loud.

The soldiers of the Toyotomi Army in Osaka Castle were numb as if they were standing guard and patrolling. in one room.

There was no light, and it was pitch black.

The daimyo Sakai Tadashi sat cross-legged on a tatami mat, wearing armor and a katana and wakicha around his waist.

His retainer Yohei Hasegawa knelt in front of him, also fully armed.

"It's so windy." Sakai Tadashi was a little nervous, grabbed his knees with both hands, listened to the wind, and turned his head to speak in order to distract himself.

"The windier, the better. It can drown out the sound of footsteps. Yohei Hasegawa said calmly.

Tonight. It was the day of the Han army's attack.

Many daimyos, including Sakai Tadashi, made agreements with the Han army. But who exactly it was, the daimyo themselves did not know.

They were all in contact with the Han army alone, and they did not dare to connect in tandem.

As for whether the Han army could win, Sakai Tadashi had no doubts.

But he was still nervous.

Even in the troubled times of the Warring States, this situation is extremely rare. Osaka Castle. No. 1 in the world. Samurai of the North.

After this war, the world of Fuso has actually shifted.

Transfer from the Toyotomi family to the Han Dynasty.

"Kill !!!!!!!!" At this moment, the roar of killing resounded like thunder throughout the world. Sakai Tadashi and Hasegawa Yohei looked at each other, lifting their spirits, and then they stood up in unison.

Sakai Tadashi pushed the door down and shouted, "Gather your forces." On the left arm, tie a white cloth. Distinguish friend from foe. ”

"Sakai Jun. Join the Han army in battle. Ask for the head of Matsudaira Jinghu. ”

Let's talk about it. Sakai Tadashi pulled out the katana at his waist, the sharp blade, which emitted a faint light in the dark night.

"Yes."

The retainers of the Sakai family were surprised at first. But he quickly accepted it, gladly responded, and then organized troops to receive the Han army into the city.

The Han army's inner guard, led by a thousand households. Received by a daimyo and entered Osaka Castle from the west.

But not waiting for them to engage Matsudaira Keitor.

Some of the daimyo's troops, after tying white cloths, launched an attack on Nimaru first.

Some daimyo led armies and attacked the daimyo's army, which was not tied with white cloth.

The daimyo and military generals of the Toyotomi army in the city killed each other and were very chaotic. Meanwhile. Some daimyo who did not have contact with the Han army, seeing that the general trend had gone, also rebelled.

"I am willing to submit to the Han army. Please don't attack us. ”

There was a daimyo who wanted to join the Han army, and was gladly accepted, and then attacked Nimaru together.

Nimaru was quickly conquered by the daimyos.

The renegade daimyo and the Ouchi guards of the Han army gathered their forces and attacked Honmaru. And Honmaru, 10,000 elite soldiers led by Matsudaira Keitora and Oda Nobumasa guarded.

Among them were five thousand samurai from the north.

In the face of this expected attack, the more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Toyotomi Army did not panic and took up arms to resist.

For a time, Osaka Castle Honmaru was as solid as a rock.

"Set up a ladder and attack Honmaru. Kill Matsudaira Keitor. Let all the Fusang people see the combat power of our Han people. ”

Qianhu, a guard of the Han army, pulled out the steel knife on his waist and shouted.

"Kill !!!" The Ouchi guards of the Han army roared, carried ladders, and set up on the walls of Honmaru, and then braved the attack of arrows, and the stones and woods that flew down, with unparalleled momentum, paid a great price for casualties, and successfully attacked Honmaru.

Countless Toyotomi soldiers fell in pools of blood. At this time, even the samurai from the north were terrified, and the battle fell into a one-sided state.

"Set it on fire. Burn this pill. ”

In order for the Toyotomi army to give up resistance as soon as possible, the officers of the Han army gave orders one after another. The guards of the Han army were holding torches and setting fires everywhere in the blink of an eye.

Honmaru, the core of Osaka Castle, was caught in a sea of fire.

The castle tower was also on fire.

A large number of Toyotomi soldiers, including samurai from the north, saw that the situation was gone, and either committed suicide by seppuku or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Blood and corpses covered the pill.

Matsudaira Keitora and Oda Nobunmasa, as the two of the Four Heavenly Kings of Toyotomi, did not turn their backs on the Toyotomi family in this final battle, and they did their best.

On the top floor of the castle tower, which is about to be engulfed in flames.

Matsudaira Keitora and Oda Nobunmasa stood here with a handful of guards and samurai, looking down at the fallen Osaka Castle.

"The world of the Toyotomi family is cut off." Matsudaira Jinghu sighed.

"Finally relieved." Oda Nobumasa closed his eyes, and a sense of pleasure welled up in his heart. Death is not terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death.

Under the siege of the Han army, they seemed to be caged birds.

Right now.

It's over.

Almost at the same time, Matsudaira Keitora and Oda Nobumasa took off the helmets on their heads, untied the armor on their bodies, and peeled off their clothes, revealing their bellies. Then I picked up the wakicha and wrapped it around a white cloth.

"Farewell. Lord Jinghu. Oda Nobumasa grabbed the part of the white cloth with both hands and thrust his sword into his abdomen. After completing the cross cut, one of the retainers cut off his head.

"Farewell." Matsudaira Keihoo closed his eyes, calmly completed the seppuku, and the head was also cut off by the retainers.

The samurai of the guards who followed them, all seppuku. Soon, all the corpses were engulfed in flames.

The fire in Osaka Castle Honmaru burned all night. When the sky was bright, the fire gradually went out.

The excavation work was carried out by the Daimyo.

Wu Nian was wearing armor, and surrounded by Wang Gui and other Ouchi guards, he came to Honmaru. Watch as the soldiers dig up charred corpses and carry them out.

"The four heavenly kings of the Toyotomi family, as well as Honda Hidenobu, the third in the world, are all generals. It's a pity that it can't be used by the widows. Wu Nian turned his head, looked at Wang Gui, and sighed lightly.

This time to attack Fusang, although the Han army absorbed a lot of ronin. But the real heroes were almost killed, or seppuku.

The handsome and heroic of Fuso has extraordinary courage in the face of death.

"Dying on the battlefield is the fate of military generals. For them. Loyalty to the Toyotomi family is everything. Wang Gui said with great feeling.

It's like these Han generals.

For the sake of the king, you can also throw your head and spill your blood.

Disregard one's own safety.

Loyalty is the same in any country.

Wu Nian sighed for a while, then took Wang Gui and the others to leave the main pill and came to the second pill. In one of Nimaru's rooms, Wu Nian received the daimyo who surrendered and surrendered and rewarded him.

There was no word that day.

Early the next morning. Wu Nian led 110,000 Han soldiers to the front line.

The daimyo who surrendered and surrendered led their armies to follow the battle, waving their flags and shouting, and boosting the prestige of the Han army.

The enemy is in Edo.

The base camp of the Toyotomi family.
