"Call all your lords to come to the big tent for discussion."
Honda Hidenobu raised his head and said to the retainers.
"Yes." The retainers responded, and then most of them left, while a few important ministers stayed. The envoy of Okubo Tadamitsu also stayed.
Soon after, the famous generals arrived at the tent one after another. After everyone bowed to Honda Hidenobu, they sat down.
Hidenobu Honda told the story first, then stood up, holding the hilt of the katana at his waist with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "We are samurai. Loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor is a matter of course."
"Now His Majesty is in trouble, we should sacrifice our lives to protect His Majesty."
"I have decided to send troops tomorrow. Make preparations as soon as you get back."
"Yes." The generals cheered up and immediately stood up to answer.
"Messenger. Go back immediately and tell Lord Okubo Tadamitsu. Ask him to pay attention to the movements outside the city and send troops according to changes in the situation. Cooperate with me inside and outside."
"Eat the Han army."
Honda Hidenobu turned his head and said to the messenger.
"Yes." The messenger exhaled a long breath, and the pressure suddenly dissipated. Then a solemn look appeared on his face, and he bent down to salute.
Following Honda Hidenobu's order, 20,000 troops began to make preparations. Early the next morning. Honda Hidenobu led the Hondo family's main force, followed by the armies of various daimyo, and marched toward Kyoto along the avenue.
At the same time, Honda Hidenobu also sent a large number of spies to inquire about the movements of the Han army to prevent himself from being suddenly attacked.
Although the Kyoto Plain is flat, the possibility of a surprise attack by the Han army is extremely low.
............
Kyoto.
The office is in the yamen, in the hall. Okubo Tadamitsu was wearing armor and sitting on the main seat, his face was full of exhaustion and his breathing was a little abnormal.
In front of him was the messenger who came back to report. The messenger traveled back and forth between the two places in a short period of time, and almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
"Okay. Finally. The day has finally arrived." Okubo Tadamitsu stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly.
Hidenobu Honda, this bastard, if you don’t come to my rescue, I won’t be able to hold on anymore.
You are really capable, allowing me to consume the strength of the Han army under the walls of Kyoto.
but. Thanks to you, the Han army also suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted. This time is an excellent opportunity. Let’s cooperate inside and outside.
Destroy the Han army in Kyoto.
Thinking of this, Okubo Tadamitsu couldn't help but gasp. During this time, he was under great pressure.
He desperately gathered supplies and forcibly recruited the people in the city to climb the city wall and die. Caused huge public outrage.
Although they withstood waves of offensives by the Han army, they were already at the end of their rope.
finally.
It's finally time to clear up the clouds and see the sun.
Let us destroy the Han army.
.............
Wang Gui's camp, inside the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Nian was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the handsome seat with a casual posture. He picked up the hot tea cup on the coffee table and took a pleasant sip.
Beishanbao’s wild mountain tea still tastes like this.
Wang Gui and Kitahara Sosuke were also sipping tea, with smiles on their faces.
"It's not easy. This old boy Hidenobu Honda finally came out." Wu Nian put down the tea cup and sighed with emotion. Then he turned to Wang Gui and said, "To avoid scaring him away."
"I will lead five soldiers from a thousand households and go out into battle."
"Prepare troops and horses. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Wang Gui responded with a smile.
"Mr. Kitahara. You stay here, use your eyes and ears, and continue to watch the wind and grass on the Kyoto plain. Once we defeat Honda Hidenobu, we will clean up the castles of these samurai and daimyo who are entrenched in the Kyoto plain."
Wu Nian looked up at Kitahara Sosuke, very high-spirited.
"Yes." Kitahara Sosuke bent down and bowed.
Immediately, the two went down. Wu Nian stayed in the big tent to recharge his batteries.
One day and one night passed.
Early the next morning. The sky is still bright. The Huotou Army had already prepared breakfast, and the smell of rice filled the camp.
The Han soldiers began to eat in an orderly manner.
It is different from the Han army of Lu Liuliang and others. Wu Nian's imperial guards were all Han from Liaodong. The fighting power and fighting will are stronger than those of Youyan and Han soldiers.
They are the strongest soldiers and horses in Han Dynasty.
After breakfast, the Han soldiers gathered under the ordering platform. Among them is a heavy armored and heavy ax soldier from Qianhu, and a divine arm archer from Qianhu.
Three thousand ordinary soldiers.
Even ordinary soldiers have a very high armor coverage rate.
"Da da da!!!" The fierce sound of horse hooves sounded. Wu Nian, wearing iron armor and holding a horse with a horse's length of eight feet, led Wang Gui and dozens of other horsemen to the soldiers. However, he did not get on the ordering platform. He rode directly to the soldiers and reined in his horse. Rein.
Wu Nian thought for a moment and had nothing to say. Then he raised the eight-foot-long horse in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me. Be as invincible as ever."
"kill!!!!!"
This simple sentence made the Ouchi guards' blood boil immediately. All of them raised their weapons and roared in response to Wu Nian.
"Haha." Wu Nian chuckled, reined in his horse, nodded to Wang Gui, and then commanded the soldiers of the five thousand households, bringing a small amount of food and baggage.
It looked like a tractor speeding down the highway, emitting black smoke.
Without concealing his presence, he headed straight towards Honda Hidenobu's army with high spirits and high spirits.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" from a Chinese character flag, flying in the wind and making a hunting sound, like a flying dragon, showing its teeth and claws, showing a fierce light.
........
Hidenobu Honda.
Honda Hidenobu dispatched a large number of spies, and Wu Nian made no secret of his actions.
Naturally, he got the news immediately.
"An army of five or six thousand?" Hidenobu Honda wore pure black armor, sat on a horse, and frowned.
Although during this period, the Han army suffered heavy casualties due to siege.
This was also directed by myself.
Use the power of the Kyoto city wall and Okubo Tadamitsu to weaken the Han army.
But was the Han army so weak? An army of five to six thousand people dare to attack more than 20,000 of us in the open?
Although these 20,000 troops are not our main force.
But it is also filled with a large number of samurai retainers and ronin. After this period of time, their combat effectiveness is not bad.
In addition, he, a world-famous general, is in charge.
The Han army should send at least 10,000 people to fight against them, right?
Hidenobu Honda was puzzled, angry at being slighted, worried that something was going wrong, and feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Huh!!!!" Honda Hidenobu took a deep breath, then shook his head, abandoning the distracting thoughts in his heart, his eyes were bright, and his expression was extremely determined.
Now is the best fighter.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
"Inform all the lords of the news. We will first eat these five or six thousand Han troops. Then we will march to Kyoto and together with Lord Okubo Tadamitsu, we will destroy all the Han troops."
Honda Hidenobu raised the golden riding crop in his hand and shouted.
"Cheer, warriors. Glory and military exploits belong to our martial sect."
