Since the Takahashi Heimori Incident, the front line of the confrontation between Toyotomi and the Han army has moved to the areas of Owari, Echizen, and Mino.

The daimyo of the Toyotomi army led elite soldiers to confront the Han army.

Osaka Castle was an isolated city surrounded by Han forces.

And now Osaka Castle has fallen.

"Da Da Da !!!"

Countless spies, ninjas, and hosaku went to the East day and night to deliver the news to the front line.

Owari Province.

Oda Castle.

The castle belonged to the Oda family, but it was not related to Oda Nobuyasa, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Toyotomi. Belong to another lineage.

The lord of the castle was Oda Tadaka, who owned the 50,000-stone territory of the Oda Domain.

Oda Castle is at the forefront. At present, in addition to the more than 1,000 people of the Oda army, there are more than 3,000 people belonging to the five daimyos, making a total of 5,000 people.

inside a house. Oda Tadashi sat on his knees on the throne and looked down at the map. At present, the defense of the front line is quite solid, and the Han army is not so easy to break through.

The problem is Osaka Castle.

Oda Tadaka's gaze fell on Osaka Castle.

"The Han army is really tough. And the people of Meng Yuan, Slavs, and Chu are all incompetent. When Wu Nian crossed the sea in Fusang, he did not attack the Han mainland. ”

Oda Tadaka said secretly in his heart.

He knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for the Toyotomi family. It can even be said that the Toyotomi family has only one breath left.

But the Toyotomi family can be preserved, and it is still well preserved.

If the Toyotomi family falls, then the entire martial arts gate of Fuso will be swept away by Wu Nian.

The territory of the Oda family was not spared.

"Da-da-da-da." Just then, the sliding door was opened. The ninja who belonged to the Oda family, kneeling under the porch of the door, reported: "Report to the lord." News came from Osaka Castle. The Han army has broken through Osaka Castle. Oda Nobumasa and Matsudaira Keitora don't know what to do. ”

"What did you say?" Oda Tadaka's face changed drastically and he stood up. He smiled bitterly and sat back with a shake of his head.

Really poured.

The martial arts of Fuso really fell. There's no way back.

Thinking of this, Oda Tadaka took a deep breath and said to the little surname at the door with a serious expression: "Tell the news to the five daimyos." ”

"Tell them. I'm not Takahashi Heimori and won't sneak up on them. ”

"But I decided to dedicate Oda Castle. Surrender to the Han Army. Either they left Oda Castle or stayed and joined me in surrendering. ”

The Toyotomi family can basically be declared extinct.

Such a powerful Toyotomi family.

The pillar of the samurai of the world.

Checkmate.

Fuso Maharaja.

The little surname was shocked and reacted a little sluggishly. After a moment, he whispered, "Yes." ”

"Let Heima Nobuhisa leave Oda Castle immediately and go to contact General Lu Liuliang of the Han army. It means that I, the Oda family, are willing to submit. ”

Oda Tadagao acted resolutely, turned his head to another small surname, and ordered.

"Yes." The little man reacted much faster, and immediately stood up, grabbed his pants with both hands, bent over, and ran away along the hallway.

Oda Tadataka took a deep breath, sat back with a wry smile, and muttered, "The Oda family, as a daimyo and martial artist, has perished. ”

"But the door is still there."

"I must lead the Oda family to find my own place in the Han Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Oda Tadaka's eyes flickered, and he was ready for the arrival of a new era.

Oda Tadataka was very kind, and one of the other five daimyo stayed in Oda Castle. The remaining three daimyo left Oda Castle with their troops.

And what is happening in Oda Castle is constantly happening on the front line.

More than half of the daimyo and military generals chose to surrender. Some of the remaining daimyo and military commanders retreated to Edo Castle, preparing to fight to the death.

Some retreated to their own territory and waited to see the situation.

Because of the last time he was besieged, Lu Liuliang became a little more cautious. He didn't take the opportunity to march into the army, just stayed where he was, received the surrendered troops, and waited for Wu Nian's order.

After receiving the order, Lu Liuliang led 40,000 soldiers and horses into the Kanto Plain and headed for Edo Castle.

.........

Edo Castle, castle town.

At this moment, the news of the fall of Osaka Castle has not yet reached Edo. However, many of the people, merchants, ronin, and so on in the castle town left.

The whole castle town is very depressed.

After the Takahashi Heimori incident, not only daimyo and military generals, but also ordinary people had a premonition that the Toyotomi family was going to perish.

As the base camp of the Toyotomi family, Edo Castle will inevitably be stabbed.

Now you can run as far as you can.

Edo Castle. Inside a room in Central Ao. Toyotomi Daikichi sat silently on the main seat, and below him were the heavy ministers Katakura Keiju, the leader of the Iga ninjas, and Hattori Hanzo.

The news of the fall of Osaka Castle was brought back by Hattori Hanzo himself.

"Hey. There's no way back. The hegemony of the Toyotomi family. No. I don't even have a generation. Toyotomi Daikichi smiled bitterly, as if the whole person had been drained of energy, and it was visibly aging.

"Your Excellency, General. Please don't give in easily. Edo Castle is the largest castle in the world, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city. The daimyo of the front line will also return to Edo to garrison. ”

"The food in the city can last for two years."

"We still have the strength to fight."

Hattori Hanzo's eyes moistened, bent down, lowered his head and said sincerely to Toyotomi Daikichi. His hands were tightly gripping his knees, and his whole body trembled.

The hegemony of the Toyotomi family is not only the lord's, but also the establishment of their subordinates, who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die.

Damn Han King Wu Nian.

"Nope. There is no hope. The daimyo of the front line, after learning of the fall of Osaka Castle. At least half of them will surrender to the Han army. The remaining half, some will return to Edo. Some people are afraid that they will run away. ”

"And the actions of the Han army. It's definitely not just about besieging Edo Castle. Wu Nianhui divided his troops into two routes, besieging Edo Castle all the way, and sweeping the rest of the country along the way. It was not until the Han army swept the whole of Fuso that they joined forces with Edo. ”

"When the time comes. It's hard to say how many soldiers there are in Edo Castle. Even if there are 30,000 or 50,000 people, the hearts of the people are absent. The city will not be able to hold it. ”

"This world. There is no city that can be defended if the army is discouraged. ”

Toyotomi shook his head, a pessimistic look on his face. Immediately, without waiting for Hattori Hanzo to speak, he bowed his head and bowed to Hattori Hanzo.

"Your Excellency, General. What do you do here? Hattori Hanzo was shocked, and hurriedly bent down, put his head on the tatami mat, and made the lowest posture.

"Hanzo-sama. The demise of the Toyotomi family is already helpless. But the Toyotomi family may not be severed. ”

"I have two grandchildren. One is Toyotomi Yoshimasa, and the other is Toyotomi Yoshida. It's the best of my grandchildren. I still have 50,000 taels of gold buried in Michinoku. ”

"Hanzo-sama. While Edo Castle is still there. Please lead the Iga ninja with my two grandsons and find the gold. Incognito. When the time comes, in the name of the Toyotomi family, the mountain will make a comeback. ”

"I'll leave everything to Hanzo-sama."

Toyotomi Daikichi still bent over and did not lift up, and said in a very sincere tone.

Keishi Katakura on the side took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes moistened.

The hegemony is empty.

Hattori Hanzo was reluctant, and if Edo Castle fell, he hoped to be able to follow the lord Seppuku and die a glorious death as a samurai.

But.

Since this is an order of the sovereign, and it is related to the future of the Toyotomi family.

"Yes." Hattori Hanzo made a difficult decision, and then shouted yes.

A smile appeared on Toyotomi Daikichi's face. Then he straightened up and looked at Hattori Hanzo with a look of hope.

With the help of this loyal Iga ninja leader, the Toyotomi family will surely be able to make a comeback.
