"Kill!!!!" Lu Liuliang, with a bandage around his neck and a steel knife in his hand, struggled to kill a Toyotomi soldier who boarded the castle. He laughed loudly and was about to kill another person.
His martial arts skills were nothing in the Liaodong battlefield where generals gathered, but he was also among the generals of the Han army and was very outstanding.
His personal martial arts skills and the number of Toyotomi soldiers he wounded and killed played a vital role in the defense of Isshiki Castle.
at this time.
A special horn sound suddenly sounded from the Toyotomi army below the city. The Toyotomi soldiers who heard this voice were stunned for a moment, and then quickly retreated.
The Toyotomi soldiers who stayed on the city wall were panicked, and some turned around and wanted to run away.
"Kill all the Fuso people left on the city wall." Lu Liuliang was stunned for a moment, then shouted, swung his blade and killed the target.
The Han army reacted and killed all the Toyotomi soldiers who had no time to withdraw.
"What happened?!" Lu Liuliang gasped, then wiped the sweat from his face, raised his head, and looked confused at the Toyotomi army retreating in front of him like a tide.
Now that the Toyotomi family has the upper hand, they will attack fiercely for another ten days and a half. Isse City couldn't bear it anymore. Why did the Toyotomi Army choose to retreat?
Could it be that the king did something?
But how can your Majesty save me?
"No matter what. I'm saved." Lu Liuliang was puzzled and simply stopped thinking about it. He turned around and shouted to the soldiers who showed joy: "Rest immediately and treat the wounds."
"I don't know why the Toyotomi troops retreated, but I know they will come back at any time."
"Yes." The soldiers of the Han army were awe-struck when they heard the words. They realized that they were careless, so they responded loudly and then started to act in an orderly manner.
Many soldiers wanted to sit down, squint for a while, or breathe for a while, but they endured their fatigue and cleaned the battlefield first.
Touch up the Toyotomi soldiers and treat seriously injured companions.
Never abandon any companion who may survive.
Lu Liuliang did not dare to take off his armor, so he had a small bench brought over and sat on the city wall, waiting for Toyotomi's army to attack again.
But from day to night, the Toyotomi army did not launch another attack.
At this time, Lu Liuliang guessed what Wu Nian had done. But he still didn't dare to neglect, but instead stepped up his vigilance at night.
After an afternoon of rest, the soldiers replenished their physical strength. When they were on guard at night, the soldiers were in high spirits.
But the night passed.
Nothing happened.
When it dawned the next day, Lu Liuliang found that Toyotomi's army began to withdraw.
But he still believed that this might be a trick by the Toyotomi army. The purpose is to make him relax his guard. He neither dared to send spies out to inquire about the situation nor let down his guard.
Day and night, we strengthen our defenses.
The soldiers were mentally tense, but had enough rest time. soon. Some seriously injured soldiers died, but many soldiers recovered.
Lu Liuliang reorganized his soldiers and gained five hundred households. His confidence became abundant again. He was able to hold on longer and wounded and killed more Toyotomi soldiers.
Until five days later.
"Han" character flag. Appeared on the road outside Isshiki City.
After repeated confirmations, Lu Liuliang believed that this was really the Han army. Moreover, the King of Han came personally.
The city gate was opened. Lu Liuliang led hundreds of Han soldiers and stood waiting outside the city. Not long after, Wu Nian rode his horse and came to Lu Liuliang, surrounded by his guards.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I fell into a treacherous trick, and I am tired of working for you." Lu Liuliang knelt down and kowtowed.
The Han soldiers also knelt down and put their heads on the ground.
They have learned about Wu Nian's process of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.
Since ancient times, many kings have let their subordinates take the blame. How many kings are there who saved their ministers from danger?
This time it was Lu Liuliang himself who fell into the trap. He felt guilty and told Wu Nian not to save him, so he was prepared to die together.
Wu Nian still tried his best to save him.
How could he and his soldiers not be grateful from the bottom of their hearts?
Wu Nian got off his horse, helped Lu Liuliang up, and then asked the soldiers to get up. He looked at Lu Liuliang carefully and noticed the wound on Lu Liuliang's neck. Looking at the soldiers again, I found that none of them looked very good, and a few of the soldiers had lost their arms.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for soldiers. It is not a shame to fall into a trap. The general is trapped in a tight siege, but he still fights. There is no merit but no fault." Wu Nian comforted Lu Liuliang, and then asked Lu Liuliang: "How are the casualties?"
When Lu Liuliang heard Wu Nian's words, he lowered his head in shame, and then said: "I was dragged down by my ministers. There are more than 1,200 people, and there are still more than 500 people left. Among them are several samurai from the Yamamoto family."
Wu Nian thought for a moment and then remembered. The head of the Yamamoto family, Yamamoto Heihachiro, is the source of everything. It was he who made an agreement with Lu Liuliang to cooperate inside and outside to capture Yise City.
Immediately, Wu Nian sighed and said to the soldiers: "You have all contributed. I will reward you well."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers were very touched that Wu Nian could save them, but they were also happy about the reward, and they couldn't help but look happy.
After staying at the city gate for a while, Wu Nian and Lu Liuliang entered Yise City together.
Wu Nian succeeded in joining the general.
Toyotomi's life was auspicious, but it was not easy.
The Toyotomi Army used hundreds of thousands of troops in this battle. However, only half of them were troops directly under the Toyotomi family, daimyō, and lords.
In the wars between the western countries, many armies either lost their masters or lost their territories.
Toyotomi Daikichi promised to help them regain their territory.
Wu Nian beheaded Ii Naobi and defeated Chi Kaiqi. These armies lost hope.
Moreover, Toyotomi Daikichi's prestige was challenged.
"Da da da."
On the road to Osaka Castle, a large group of people was marching. Toyotomi Daikichi and his immediate retainers were riding horses and walking on the road.
Toyotomi Daikichi's face looked ugly. At this time, a fast horse galloped from behind. Toyotomi Daikichi turned around and looked.
The visitor pulled the reins of the horse, slowed down the speed, rode the horse and walked beside Toyotomi Daikichi, and whispered: "Sir, General."
"Eiji Nagasawa led his team to break away from the main force."
Toyotomi Daikichi sighed and waved his hand: "Leave him alone."
"Yes." The visitor responded, turned the horse's head, and rode away.
Eiji Nagasawa.
He is one of the foreign daimyo, and his fiefdom is on Kyushu Island, with a stone height of 30,000 stones. Among the famous names in the world, their strength belongs to the middle and lower reaches.
But there are many such famous names who have left the group.
Toyotomi Daikichi felt that it would be good if there were only 70 people left when the team arrived at Osaka Castle.
As Toyotomi Taiyoshi expected, after a long march. When the Toyotomi army arrived at Osaka Castle, of the hundreds of thousands of troops, only about 80,000 remained.
The situation is very unfavorable for the Toyotomi family.
Toyotomi Daikichi immediately summoned the daimyo and important ministers of the Toyotomi family in the castle tower of Osaka Castle to discuss countermeasures.
