"ah!!!"
"Are you crazy? You actually waved a knife at us."
"Damn Takahashi Heimori. Turning against you in the face of battle is a disgrace to Wumen."
In Xiaoye City. The retainers of the Takahashi family led their soldiers to attack the houses of the guest soldiers and kill their samurai. While attacking, they shouted: "This has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers. As long as they don't resist, the soldiers are innocent."
The samurai warriors of Hasegawa and Kyogoku fought hard, cursed and were killed one after another. Some soldiers also followed and resisted.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaoye City was bleeding like a river.
But soon, all the retainers of Hasegawa and Kyogoku were killed.
Then, under the order of Takahashi Heimori. Thousands of people, including surrendered soldiers, gathered in an open field. After a while. Takahashi Heimori and Hojo Umasa stood on a wooden platform, looking at thousands of soldiers.
Takahashi Heimori was wearing gorgeous black armor, holding a Fuso gun, and a Fuso bow hanging on his shoulder, looking like he was about to lead an army into battle.
Hojo Ushimasa was wearing regular clothes, and his face was a little pale in the cold wind.
Takahashi Heimori took a deep breath, then pointed at the banner with the character [汉] flying on the castle tower and said loudly: "Did you all see it? That is the Chinese character. The Han of the Han King is also the Han of the Han Dynasty."
"I, Takahashi Heimori, will serve the King of Han from today on."
"And this one is the minister of the King of Han, the governor of the Hojo family. Lord Hojo Ushimasa. Now our troops are divided into two groups. I will lead the troops to station at Hichusan Mountain."
"Lord Hojo Ushimasa will be guarding Xiaoye City along the way."
"Hiratou Sada. You will be responsible for assisting Hojo Ushimasa-sama."
"yes."
The retainers of the Takahashi family all responded loudly. As for the surrender, he looked confused. immediately. Takahashi Heimori took two thousand elite soldiers, as well as a large amount of grain, grass, and military supplies, bid farewell to the Hojo clan and headed for the nearby Hinode Mountain.
.............
The forefront of the confrontation between the Han Army and the Toyotomi Army.
Hanoi country. Pingqiu City.
Oda Nobumasa, one of the Four Toyotomi Kings, led five thousand elite soldiers to guard the city. Confronting him was General Lu Liuliang.
Although the Han army was strong, Lu Liuliang was brave and good at fighting.
However, Oda Nobumasa relied on the city and used only 5,000 elite soldiers to fight against Luliuliang's tens of thousands of households, and the city was defended as solid as a rock.
There is no fighting today.
On the city wall.
Oda Nobumasa wore armor and led his samurai guards to inspect the city walls. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a majestic appearance, a tall and strong body, and an impressive power.
He is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings and is very prestigious in the army.
He was known for his harshness in leading troops. His eyes are as sharp as a tiger's. If he sees someone slacking off, he will definitely punish him severely.
thus. The warriors and soldiers under his command who defended the city were all focused and went all out, not daring to slack off.
After a round of inspection, Oda Nobumasa was very satisfied and led his samurai guards back to a room in Honmaru. He first took off his armor and then sat down cross-legged.
"Although we are at a disadvantage in the confrontation on the front line, the defense line is very solid. As long as we defend, it will be useless no matter how strong the Han army is."
"First stabilize your position and then wait for the opportunity."
Oda Nobumasa thought to himself.
Osaka Castle, Edo Castle. The two most rock-solid cities in the world are in our hands. The land in the Guandong Plain is fertile, and the food produced is the best among hibiscus.
There is no reason for the Toyotomi family to lose.
At this moment, a young man rushed in like crazy.
Oda Nobumasa frowned and scolded: "As a samurai, you need to be calm when encountering problems. You are too unbecoming."
"Oda Yama" is not called "Oda Yama" for nothing. Xiao Xing suddenly became excited and forgot his words for a moment. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and bowed calmly and gracefully: "Nobumasa-sama. News came from the Iga ninjas. Takahashi Heimori rebelled. Killed Hasegawa-sama and Kyogoku-sama. Let Hojo Ujimasa guard Koba Castle. , sit in charge of Sunrise Mountain by yourself."
"What did you say?!!!!!!!!!" Oda Nobumasa, who scolded Nobumasa whose nickname was inappropriate, became unbecoming himself. Huo Ran stood up and looked at Xiao Xing with a shocked expression.
He suspected there was something wrong with his ears.
Takahashi Heimori was the grandson-in-law of Toyotomi Daiyoshi and a close daimyo of the feudal clan. Moreover, as a martial arts sect, it is taboo to rebel in the middle of battle.
The reputation of the Takahashi family was ruined.
"Damn Takahashi Heimori. The scum of the martial arts clan, a disgrace." Oda Nobumasa's self-restraint was completely exhausted. He pulled out his wakizashi from his waist and walked back and forth on the tatami, his face ashen.
Decency! Decency!
It’s long been forgotten.
"Call all the important ministers here." After a while, Oda Nobuzheng sat down cross-legged, raised his head and said to the younger one.
"Yes." Xiao Xing responded calmly and respectfully, turned around and left.
Oda Nobuzheng looked at Xiao's behavior and the corner of his mouth twitched. Then he took a deep breath to calm himself down and become decent.
Soon after, groups of footsteps sounded. The important ministers of the Oda family walked in together. After bowing, they knelt down according to their seats.
Oda Nobumasa asked someone to bring a large map, lay it in the center of the room, and then explained the matter.
After hearing this, the important ministers of the Oda family were all shocked, and then they all yelled at Takahashi Heimori.
"It's useless to curse now. The important thing is, what should we do now." Oda Nobumasa glanced at the important ministers majestically and said in a deep voice.
The important ministers fell silent after a while. An important minister bowed and said: "Lord, although Xiaoye City is also on the front line, it is located at the back. For us on the front line, our defense network is still intact."
"Let's stabilize our position and strengthen our defense first. I believe the general will handle the matter in Xiaoye City."
The other important ministers nodded, as long as the front line was not in chaos, anything could be said.
Oda Nobumasa frowned, feeling very anxious. Yes. As long as there is no chaos on the front line, anything can be said. But the question is, can the front line be stabilized?
Takahashi Heimori, the feudal lord, rebelled against the enemy and occupied Hinode Mountain, cutting off a major road back to the Kanto Plain.
It's easy for me to talk here and I can suppress it.
But can other daimyo and military commanders be able to hold on?
The defense on the front line is linked to each other. As long as one link goes wrong, it will cause an avalanche and everyone will lose.
After Oda Nobumasa thought for a long time, he said helplessly: "There is no way. I can only believe you adults. But we can't just sit back and wait. Immediately load some military supplies into the truck. If the situation goes wrong, we can only abandon the city and leave. "
"This is not Osaka Castle. I don't have five thousand northern warriors. If we are surrounded by the Han army, we will not be able to defend it."
"Yes." The important ministers were awe-inspiring, and then bowed in response.
Immediately, the news spread. Although Oda Nobumasa, one of the Toyotomi Four Heavenly Kings, was in charge, there was still a strange atmosphere emerging from Pingqiu Castle.
The morale of the military began to be unstable.
