When Wu Nian came to Osaka Castle under the escort of Wang Gui. The castle town has been completely besieged.
Most of the people in the town fled before the war.
The people who did not run away were also taken away by the Han army organized manpower.
A castle town is equivalent to an outer city without walls and has no military role. The key is. Matsudaira Kagetora, the best general in the world and one of the Toyotomi Four Heavenly Kings, led 10,000 elite soldiers, including 5,000 northern samurai, to guard the castle.
A high mountain outside the city.
Wu Nian took Wang Gui, Anshanya, Hojo Ushimasa and others to look at Osaka Castle.
This is a huge castle that is both gorgeous and sturdy. There is also a wide moat outside the city, with water drawn from surrounding rivers.
"It's really a powerful city. It can delay a hundred thousand elite soldiers." Wu Nian withdrew his gaze and said to his left and right.
Wang Gui raised his right hand, held his chin, and said, "It feels like we were defending Beishan Fort back then. It's just that now we are the ones attacking the city."
An Shanya remained silent.
Hojo Ujimasa's attention was focused on Osaka Castle.
Wu Nian crossed his arms, lowered his head and pondered. Although the troops have already reached the city, it feels shameful to say so. Until now, he has not decided whether to attack the city or bypass the city.
After thinking for a while, Wu Nian said: "Maintain the siege situation first, and watch the movements of Edo Castle and the big names in Higashi Fuso."
He was still reluctant to attack such a strong city.
"Yes." Everyone nodded in response. After looking at the city for a while, Wu Nian went down the mountain with everyone and returned to the military camp.
Wu Nian entered the tent and saw Kyogoku Yuki wearing a peony-colored kimono, sitting elegantly on a chair and drinking tea.
Seeing Wu Nian come in, Kyogoku Yuki stood up and bowed lightly to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian nodded to her, and then said to the Ouchi guards outside the tent: "Send orders to all armies. The opponent is Matsudaira Kagetora, the best in the world. Be on guard and don't be careless."
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded, turned around and went down.
Wu Nian came to the commander's seat and sat down, took out a map of Osaka Castle, spread it out on the case, and looked down at it.
Kyogoku Yuki held a cup of steaming tea, bent her slim waist, and placed it on the desk gently.
Wu Nian looked up at her and said thank you, "Thank you, princess." After that, he picked up the tea cup and opened the lid, blew a few breaths, and then drank in small sips.
Seeing this, Kyogoku Xueli did not disturb Wu Nian and left the tent quietly.
It's dusk. After Wu Nian had dinner, he washed himself under the service of the Ouchi guards, put on his personal clothes, and entered the bed.
Matsudaira Kagetora.
Before falling asleep, Wu Nian's mind was filled with this man.
At some point, Wu Nian heard a cry of killing. He quickly opened his eyes, frowned and listened for a while.
south.
"Wear armor for the poor." Wu Nian opened the quilt and sat up. The temperature was cold at this time. He was only wearing underwear. He had just come out of the warm quilt and felt very cold.
Before Wu Nian gave the order, the Ouchi guards had already taken action. Before he could finish his words, the Ouchi guards entered the inner tent with armor and helped Wu Nian put on the armor in an orderly manner.
Finally, Wu Nian put on his helmet, and after moving his body a little, he came to the tent and sat down on the commander's seat.
Inside the military camp. Wang Gui was wearing armor and riding a war horse. Under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, he calmly commanded the Ouchi guards to strengthen the defense.
Inside the big tent. Wu Nian sat for a while and saw Kyogoku Yukiri and Hojo Ushimasa entering the big tent almost at the same time.
Wu Nian waved his hands towards them, indicating that there was no need to salute.
After Kyogoku Xueli sat down, Wu Nian smiled at her and said, "Princess, don't worry, there are only ten thousand people in the city, including five thousand warriors from the north."
"The Han army's 150,000 households each set up camps and strengthened their vigilance. He led his troops to attack at night, but he couldn't get any advantage."
"Even if he captures one camp, there will still be fourteen camps left. The Han army will not collapse."
After a pause, Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "It's a pity that he didn't attack my camp, otherwise he would never come back."
Kyogoku Yuki nodded slightly, opened her pretty red lips, revealing her snow-white teeth, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
After a pause, Jingji Xueli smiled like a flower and said: "It's just that the Han army is invincible. I'm not worried."
As she spoke, she raised her white wrists, covered her red lips with her delicate hands, and her eyes were full of smiles.
worry?
But there is no such thing. She has full confidence in the Han army.
Wu Nian nodded and waited for the news calmly. Hojo Ushimasa was very discerning and acted as a transparent person when he saw Kyogoku Yukiri and Wu Nian talking.
Not long after, an Ouchi guard came in from the outside. He bent down and reported with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, news has arrived. Maeda Tadamichi's troops were defeated by Matsudaira Kagetora."
"At present, the troops are defeated, with countless casualties and the camp is on fire."
Wu Nian's eyes narrowed, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and then he stood up and said angrily: "Maeda Tadashi is really incompetent. I have asked him to be on guard."
After thinking for a while, Wu Nian said to the Ouchi guards: "Let's explore again. Let the other generals guard the camp and not send troops to rescue. Otherwise, it will cause chaos to the whole army."
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded, turned around and went down.
"Huh." Wu Nian took a deep breath, sat back, his face became much more serious.
Kyogoku Yuki lowered her head slightly, with black hair falling from her ears, looking very well-behaved.
Hojo Ushimasa hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I thought it might be soldiers and horses outside the city."
"Soldiers and horses outside the city?!!!" Wu Nian raised his eyebrows, showing surprise.
"Yeah." Hojo Umasa agreed, with a determined look on his face.
Wu Nian held his chin, pondered for a while, and then nodded slightly. That makes sense.
The Han army, with 150,000 troops, surrounded Osaka Castle tightly. Matsudaira Kagetora sat in a fortified city, with mountains of food and military supplies piled up.
There are only ten thousand soldiers and horses.
According to common sense, we should stick to the city.
Maeda Tadamichi's ability was actually quite good, and he ordered to step up vigilance. The opponent is Matsudaira Kagetora. Maeda Tadamichi should not dare to relax.
But if Matsudaira Kagetora had ambushed outside the city in advance.
Maeda Tadamichi's defense focused on sneak attacks by the troops in the city. And ignored the sneak attack by the people outside the city.
That all makes sense.
But here's the thing.
Matsudaira Kagetora only had 10,000 men, so he emptied the city and set up an ambush outside the city.
He led his troops to attack Maeda Tadamichi's camp.
How bold this is.
Brave and fierce.
"As expected of being the best in the world. Quite impressive." Wu Nian said with a slight smile.
Kyogoku Yuki and Hojo Umasa nodded in unison, they were indeed very powerful.
