Fujita Hiromichi naturally heard the blame in his nephew's tone, and he also regretted it a little, but there is no regret medicine in the world that is delicious, and at this moment, it is useless to regret the intestines.

The scout galloped into Kaijing City, and then came to the front of Fujita Hiromichi and the three of them, panting and saying with a panicked expression: "Big, my lord,......"

Fujita Hikaru asked impatiently, "Did Musashi Xiong capture Haizhou and annihilate the Han Chinese?" Then he said angrily: "Hey, this great credit has finally been obtained by him!" He has made such a great contribution, and His Excellency the General's commendation is secondary, I am afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor will send down kindness to praise him! Hey, why is our luck so bad, how is his luck so good? Fujita Mitsuhiro looked envious, jealous and hateful, Fujita Hiromichi and Nishino Chong couldn't help but have the same thoughts, but they didn't say it, Nishino Chong even thought that he not only lost Jinchuan, but his subordinates were almost wiped out, and the credit was absolutely none, but he was afraid that he would be reprimanded or even condemned by His Excellency the General and even His Majesty the Emperor, and he couldn't help but worry when he thought of this.

The scout hurriedly said: "My lord guessed wrong, Lord Musashi did not capture Haizhou, let alone completely annihilate the Han people," the three of them couldn't help but feel a little better, Fujita Hiromichi asked: "In other words, Lord Musashi Xiong is currently in a stalemate with the Han people in Haizhou?" ”

The scout shook his head and said urgently: "Lord Musashi's army fought a fierce battle with the Han army under the city of Haizhou, and was defeated and lost, and is now in the process of fleeing to Kaijing!" ”

The three of them were stunned on the spot, and they didn't react for a while. Immediately, a feeling of joy rose in my heart, and my face couldn't help but show joy, and then I felt that I shouldn't be happy, so I quickly restrained my smile. Fujita Hiromichi asked the messenger, "Is it true that you said that Musashi Yudai was defeated?" Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from someone? The scout said, "I saw it with my own eyes under the city of Haizhou." As soon as I saw Musashi-sama's defeat, I hurried back to report to my lord. ”

The three of them looked at each other, although they were happy that Musashi Xiong was deflated, but Yan Yunjun's defeat of Musashi's 100,000 army in one battle also made them feel very shocked, this result was completely different from their previous expectations, they only felt that Yan Yunjun's combat effectiveness seemed to be much higher than previously expected, and it seemed to be even more powerful than Jinren.

Fujita Mitsuhiro didn't want to believe that his soldiers were inferior to Yan Yunjun, and asked the scout: "Did the Han people use some conspiracy, such as setting up an ambush and ambushing our army, which caused our army to be defeated?" Fujita Hiromichi and Nishino Chong couldn't help but feel that it was very possible, and hurriedly looked at the scout.

The scout shook his head, his face showing horror, swallowed, and said, "They, they are terrible! It's like a legendary demon! They fought our army head-on, and they simply defeated our army with great might! Fujita Hiromichi and the three of them were in a heavy mood, and although they still didn't want to believe that their opponent was so powerful, they also knew that it was impossible for scouts to lie. The scout suddenly remembered something and said, "Before the battle between the two armies, Honda-sama fought against the Swallow King, and as a result, Honda-sama was still defeated by the Swallow King with the help of three high-ranking samurai! ”

Fujita Hiromichi and the three of them showed a look of shock, and Nishino Chong said in fear: "This, how is this possible?" How can anyone in the world be an opponent of Honda-sama!? No matter how powerful the enemy is, at most he can tie with Honda-sama, how is it possible, how can it be ......" The scout said: "I saw it with my own eyes, Honda-sama and three high-ranking samurai lords besieged the Yan King, but they were beheaded by the Yan King's array, and the other three were all defeated!" "Fujita Hiromichi and the three of them turned their hearts upside down, they really couldn't believe that the first swordsman of Yamato would be defeated, and he was so embarrassed!

Fujita Hiromichi came back to his senses and asked the scout, "Is Musashi-sama still alive?" How many people are left in our army, and where are they now? ”

The scout replied, "Lord Musashi, Lord Honda are still alive, and the army has suffered a lot of losses, and I'm afraid only half of it is left." The subordinates came back on horseback, much faster than the army, and they were probably still more than 100 miles away from Kaijing at the moment. ”

Fujita Hiromichi calmed himself down, thought about it carefully, turned his head and asked Nishino Chongdao: "I remember that there is a Mao'er Mountain thirty miles to the west?" When Nishinochong heard this, he remembered this mountain, and hurriedly nodded: "There is such a mountain, thirty-five miles west of Kaijing, and it is the only way to enter Kaijing from the west." ”

Fujita Hiroshi said: "At this moment, the Yanyun army is chasing and killing the defeated army of Musashi, and will never guard against anything else, Nishino-kun, you immediately lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Mao'er Mountain to ambush and ambush the Yanyun army." Nishino's eyes lit up, he let out a sigh of excitement, and hurriedly ran down. Fujita Mitsuhiro said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you let me lead the army to Mao'er Mountain to ambush?" Fujita Hiromichi said angrily: "You have a bad personality, and you are only afraid of making a mistake if you lead the army alone!" What's more, this battle is very important, and there is no room for loss, so it's better for Nishino-kun to go and take it safe! Fujita Mitsuki felt that his uncle looked down on him, and he was very angry, snorted, and turned away. Fujita Hiromichi shook his head and sighed, feeling that this nephew was really ignorant. Glancing at the scout, he commanded, "Continue to investigate, and report at any time." The scout answered and ran down the wall. Fujita Hiromichi thought about it and felt that the defeat of Musashi Xiong was very serious and had to be reported to His Excellency the General, so he summoned a herald and ordered him to report the news of Musashi's defeat to His Excellency as soon as possible.

Nishino Chong led 3,000 soldiers and horses to leave Kaijing in a hurry and rushed to Mao'er Mountain in the west.

Yanyun war cavalry along the way continued to chase and kill the fleeing Japanese army, the Japanese army in the previous war losses are not too big, but in the later way of the outlaw escape, but the casualties are very serious, Yanyun war cavalry does not relentlessly chase and kill, the Japanese soldiers have long lost their fighting spirit, like a frightened bird, like a flock of sheep chased by wolves, only know to escape, constantly chased by Yanyun war horse, constantly killed, the screams of companions echoed around the ears one after another, and the heart was terrified to the extreme, It just felt like I was having a terrible nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. On the road of escape for more than 100 miles, there are corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, and there are wounded people who are dying and struggling everywhere. At this moment, in the hearts of the Japanese people, Yan Yunjun is simply a group of cruel and bloodthirsty demons.

A team of Yanyun cavalry chased and killed the Japanese rout to the canyon in Mao'er Mountain, and saw that the Japanese rout was rushing out of the valley, and immediately chased after it.

Suddenly, thousands of widows stood in the bushes on the hillsides on both sides, and countless flags were erected. Yanyun War Horse didn't expect this move, and couldn't help but be taken aback, subconsciously restrained the war horse, and looked around. At this moment, arrows rained down on the hillsides on both sides, and the rolling stones and trees rumbled down, and Yan Yun's war cavalry was caught off guard, and he was beaten on his back! A moment later, this team of nearly 1,000 Yanyun warriors suffered heavy casualties! The commander was killed, and the deputy commander hurriedly led the remaining cavalry out of the valley.

At this moment, the main cavalry of Yanyun led by Yang Peng came up, and at this time, the Yanyun infantry brigade was still behind, led by Ye Yu Guanyin, and had not yet caught up.

Yang Peng and the others couldn't help but be very surprised when they saw their cavalry fleeing out of the valley in embarrassment. Immediately, the deputy commander rode to Chen Xiao on horseback, hugged his fists and said: "King Yan, we pursued the enemy army into the valley, but we didn't expect that the enemy army actually laid an ambush in the valley, and our army was caught off guard by nearly half of the casualties, and the commander was also killed!" ”

Yang Peng frowned, rode his horse to the mouth of the valley, looked towards the valley, and sure enough, he saw thousands of Japanese troops on the slopes on both sides of the valley, and on the only passage in the middle of the valley, there were hundreds of corpses of his own cavalry. Zhanjin National Road next to it: "The terrain is unfavorable, it is difficult to pass, and you must wait for the infantry army behind to come up before attacking!" ”

Yang Peng took a closer look at the situation in the valley, and saw that although there were no tall trees in the valley, the shrubs were long and grassy, and they were very dense.

A gust of wind blew from the valley, and the dry breath was mixed with a strong smell of blood, and then the wind turned in the direction of the wind, and it blew out of the valley to into the valley. Yang Peng's heart moved, and he said, "You don't have to wait for the infantry army behind!" Zhan Jinguo thought that Yang Peng was going to forcibly attack the Japanese army ambushed in the valley with cavalry, so he couldn't help but be arrogant, and hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, let me lead the army to attack!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and gave instructions to Zhan Jinguo. Zhan Jinguo listened to Yang Peng's words, but he showed a surprised expression, because Yang Peng's instructions were completely different from his expectations. Yang Peng asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?" Zhan Jinguo hugged his fists and said: "There is nothing I don't understand, I'll do it immediately!" He immediately turned his horse's head and ran down, shouting at the Xuanjia army under his command.

The Japanese people in the valley were waiting for each other, their eyes widened, and the arrows had already been put on the bowstring, waiting for the Yan Yun army to attack. These Japanese people successfully ambushed the Yanyun cavalry just now, and killed hundreds of people on the other side without effort, and their confidence couldn't help but burst, although at this moment the outsiders in the valley shouted that the horses were neighing, and the number of people in the valley was very large, but the Japanese soldiers in the valley were not afraid at all, and they were still a little looking forward to the Yanyun army to attack, so that they could kill more Yanyun soldiers to increase their own merits.

Suddenly, a Yanyun cavalry entered the valley, and the Japanese couldn't help but get excited. However, to their surprise, those Yanyun cavalry stopped after entering the valley and did not continue to go deeper, and the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but become anxious when they saw this scene. Immediately, I saw those Yanyun warriors bending their bows and arrows aimed at the slope of the hill where they were, and the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but wonder: here is hundreds of steps away from the entrance of the valley, and it is condescending, although the strong bow and crossbow of the Yanyun army are powerful, but they are far from reaching, what do they want to do?

Just when the Japanese soldiers were puzzled, two Yanyun officers with torches set fire to the arrows in the hands of all Yanyun cavalry. When the Japanese saw this scene, they subconsciously felt a pang in their hearts. At this moment, a rain of fire flew up the hillside in the direction of the wind and fell into the dry thorny bushes. In the blink of an eye, countless fires burst out, and then burned fiercely, and spread rapidly under the help of the mountain wind. Seeing the fire raging, the Japanese soldiers screamed in horror, and ran down from the hillside, trying to escape from the valley, but the wind helped the fire to borrow the power of the wind, and the fire became a monstrous trend in a blink of an eye, and many Japanese people were engulfed in flames before they could escape down the hillside, and some were forced by the flames, panicked, and even jumped off the cliff, falling into a blur of flesh and blood, and for a moment the terrible screams echoed in the valley.

In just a moment, the entire valley became a huge furnace, and the Yanyun soldiers couldn't stay in the valley mouth anymore, so they had to avoid it far away, and retreated to a few hundred meters away from the valley mouth, and they could still feel the scorching breath coming to their faces, only to hear the flames in the valley burning wildly, as if the demon was roaring and roaring, and when he looked up, he saw the flames burning above the entire valley, as if a huge volcano was erupting. Fortunately, the surrounding area of the valley is full of rocks and rocks, and there is not much vegetation, so the flames in the valley are basically only burning in the valley, and it is difficult to spread.

Nishino Chong led the remnants of the defeated army and fled back to Kaijing. Seeing the fiery red scene in the western sky, Fujita Hiromichi was in shock, and when he saw Nishino Chong and the others fleeing back in embarrassment, all of them were anxious, he couldn't help but be shocked, and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" How did you get it like this? Could it be that Mao'er Mountain was occupied by Yan Yunjun? Nishino Chong said with palpitations: "They, they set fire, set fire to the mountain, we almost can't get out!" Fujita Hiromichi then understood why the sky in the west was a burning scene, it turned out to be a fire attack by Yanyun army!

Fujita Mitsuhiro sneered: "We originally thought that Lord Nishino would be able to defend Mao'er Mountain, even if we couldn't keep it all the time, it would be good to keep it for a few days, but we didn't expect to lose Mao'er Mountain in less than a day!" Fujita Hiromichi frowned, obviously very displeased.

Xiye Chong hurriedly said: "Our army was ambushed in Mao'er Mountain, and originally won a big victory, annihilating countless Yanyun war horses!" But later, Yan Yunjun used the direction of the wind and the shrubs and grasses in the valley to use the fire attack strategy! The flames swept like mountains and seas, and it was not something that human beings could resist at all! ”

Fujita Hiromichi's face looked a little better, and he said: "The Flame Flood is not something that human beings can resist, and it is not a sin that you are defeated by the hands of the fire. When Nishino Chong heard that Fujita Hiromichi had forgiven him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your understanding!" Fujita Mitsuki was very displeased, but he couldn't say anything more.

Fujita Hiromichi looked to the west, looking at the burning sky, and suddenly turned around and asked Nishino Chong: "According to Nishino-kun's estimate, how long will the fire burn?" Nishino Chong thought for a while and said, "At least it has to be burned for a day and a night." Fujita Hiromichi muttered, "One day and one night, then we will have one day and one night." He raised his head, looked at Nishino Chong and Fujita Mitsuko, and said: "Before Nishino-kun returned, nearly 10,000 soldiers of our army retreated to Kaijing, and I estimate that there are more of our soldiers scattered outside, so the two of you will immediately go out of the city, meet our army, and guide them back to Kaijing." After the flames in the valley are extinguished, the Yan Yun army will inevitably cross the valley to attack the capital, and we must concentrate all possible forces to fight the Yan Yun army in a decisive battle under the capital city! Nishino Chong and Fujita Hikaru let out a sigh of excitement and ran down.

The sun had set, the moon had climbed up the treetops, and the sky in the distance was still a burning scene, more striking than daytime, as if the earth in the distance had cracked a gap into hell. There was a clamor inside and outside Kaijing, and from time to time there were defeated Japanese soldiers who fled back to Kaijing.

By the next morning, more than 30,000 soldiers had retreated to Kaijing. Just as Fujita Hiromichi was patrolling the castle walls, Nishino rushed up and reported, "My lord, Your Excellency Musashio has returned. Fujita Hiromichi was not overjoyed to hear the news and asked, "Where are they now?" Nishino said, "I've gone to the camp." I found them in the north, and there were more than 10,000 of them. Fujita Hiromichi hurriedly asked, "Have you found Yanyun's pursuers?" Nishino Chong shook his head and said, "I heard from the samurai under the command of Lord Musashi, there were originally pursuers chasing them, but after they crossed a small river, they burned down the only wooden bridge on the river, so Yanyun's pursuers were blocked on the opposite bank. ”

Fujita Hiromichi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and muttered: "After all, Your Excellency Musashi is a famous general of our Yamato nation, and although he is defeated, he can also correctly deal with emergencies. ”

Nishino rushed and said, "My lord, Your Excellency Musashi has asked you to come over and discuss the matter. Fujita Hiromichi frowned and walked towards the city wall, with Nishino Oki and the others following behind. On the way, he met Fujita Mitsuhiro and went to the camp together.

When the group arrived at the camp lobby, they saw Musashi and Honda Tadakatsu, who were sitting on the chairs on the left with shocked expressions. Fujita Hiromichi and Musashi Xiong are in the same position, so Fujita Hiromichi only bowed slightly to Musashi, which was considered a salute, and Musashi Xiong also responded with a chin. Mitsuki Fujita and Nishino Oki bowed to Musashi, and Tadakatsu Honda stood up and bowed to Hiromichi Fujita. Honda Tadakatsu then sat back in his seat, and the three Fujita Hiromichi sat down on the chairs in the right row.

Fujita Hiromichi glanced at Musashi and said, "I already know the battle situation in Haizhou. Musashi Xiong and Honda Tadashi were ashamed, and Musashi Xiong said fiercely: "This shame of defeat, one day I will return it to that Yan King tenfold and hundredfold!" ”

Fujita Mitsuho sneered, Musashio happened to see Fujita Mitsuko's expression, and he was annoyed and angry, and asked loudly: "Fujita-kun, what do you mean by sneering?" Fujita Mitsuhiro didn't expect the other party to see his expression, and he came to question himself, and he was taken by the other party's power, and he didn't know how to respond for a while. Fujita Hiromichi hurriedly said, "Musashi-kun, what we should be thinking about now is how to defend Kaikyo!" ”

When Musashi heard this, he had to suppress his anger, turned his head to look at Fujita Hiromichi, and said: "My more than 40,000 soldiers and horses plus your Excellency's more than 10,000 soldiers, there are nearly 60,000 troops in total, and it is impossible for the Yanyun army to break through Kaijing!" ”

Fujita Hiroshi said: "What Musashi-kun said is extremely true, but the Han people have a good saying, 'A snake can't do without a head', this battle to garrison Kaijing, you still have to recommend someone to be the commander and lead the overall situation!" Musashi raised his eyebrows, "What else is there to discuss!" Naturally, I'll be the commander-in-chief! ”

Fujita Mitsumichi said: "Lord Fujita Hiromichi is the garrison of Kaijing appointed by the general, and this battle to defend Kaijing should naturally be led by Lord Fujita Hiromichi!" ”

Musashi was furious, glared at Fujita Mitsuku, and shouted, "Yaga! Fujita Mitsu saw that Musashi's expression was fierce, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and then a wave of arrogance surged up, his eyes glared at Musashi Xiong without showing weakness, and said mockingly: "If we let Musashi-sama serve as this commander again, I'm afraid that our Yamato nation will suffer another fiasco, and I'm afraid that this Kaijing will also be lost!" ”

Fujita Mitsuhiro's words suddenly poked Musashi's sore spot, and Musashi Xiong was furious, grabbed the Japanese knife placed on the coffee table next to him, and shouted; "Yaga!" Huo Ran stood up. Fujita Mitsuki also grabbed his sword and stood up, glaring at Musashi Yu opposite.

Seeing that the situation was about to evolve out of control, Fujita Hiromichi quickly stood up, stopped between the two, and shouted at Fujita Mitsuhiro: "How can you be so rude to Musashi-sama, apologize quickly!" Fujita Mitsuki was very reluctant and looked extremely depressed. Seeing that Fujita Mitsuki didn't do what he said, Fujita Hiromichi couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "Didn't you hear what I said? His tone was already very annoyed. Fujita Mitsuhiro didn't dare to disobey his uncle's order, and bowed to Musashio and said, "Your Excellency, I was rude, please forgive me!" Musashi snorted, but his anger had subsided for the most part, and he said angrily: "Young man, you have to obey the rules!" Fujita Mitsuhiro couldn't help but want to sneer at him, but when he thought that his uncle was right in front of him, he forcibly swallowed back the sarcastic words that came to his lips.

Fujita Hiromichi said to Musashi Yu: "Your Excellency Musashi is the commander appointed by His Excellency the General to pacify the Han people, and the burden of garrisoning Kaijing naturally has to be borne by Your Excellency!" Fujita Mitsuhiro was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nishino Chong next to him; Seeing that Fujita Hiromichi was willing to obey his authority, Musashi Yuo was very happy, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Your Excellency Fujita is very good at focusing on the overall situation!" Fujita Hiromichi bowed his head and said: "I will work together with Your Excellency to garrison Kaijing, if Your Excellency is sent, I will definitely obey!" ”

Musashio nodded appreciatively, "Very good!" His Excellency Fujita will be my deputy and help me guard Kaijing! The implication is that as if Kaijing is his territory, Fujita Hikaru is so angry that he will die if he doesn't care about his uncle, he will definitely explode immediately.

Fujita Hiromichi and a few people left the camp, and Fujita Mitsukai couldn't help but say, "Uncle, why do you want to back down to him?" That Musashi Xiong was defeated in Haizhou, and he still has the face to rob our territory, uncle, you shouldn't back down! Uncle, you are the commander appointed by Your Excellency the General to guard Kaijing, and it is your uncle's responsibility to guard Kaijing, uncle, how can you give this responsibility to others? ”

Fujita Hiromichi glanced at Fujita Mitsuhiro, and said angrily: "Your personality is so impulsive and irritable, how will you take on big things in the future!" Fujita snorted, looking unconvinced. Fujita Hiromichi sighed and said, "Look at Musashi's posture, if he didn't have this garrison position, he wouldn't give up!" ......" Hikaru Fujita raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I'm not afraid of him!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
