dark night.
The wind was blowing loudly.
The Toyotomi soldiers in Osaka Castle were standing guard and patrolling as numbly as machines. In a room.
There were no lights and it was pitch black.
The daimyo Sakai Tadada was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, wearing armor, with a katana and wakizashi hanging on his waist, fully armed.
His retainer Hasegawa Yohei was kneeling in front of him, also fully armed.
"The wind is so strong." Sakai Tadada was a little nervous, holding his knees with both hands, listening to the wind, turning his head and saying, in order to divert his attention.
"The louder the wind, the better. It can cover up the sound of footsteps." Hasegawa Yohei said calmly.
Tonight. It was the day when the Han army attacked.
Many daimyo, including Sakai Tadada, had made agreements with the Han army. But who exactly it is, the daimyo themselves don’t know.
They all contacted the Han army alone and did not dare to join forces.
Sakai Tadada had no doubts about whether the Han army could win.
But he was still nervous.
Even in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, this situation was extremely rare. Osaka Castle. Number one in the world. Warrior of the North.
After this battle, Fusang's world has actually shifted.
Transferred from the Toyotomi family to the Han Dynasty.
"Kill!!!!!!!!!" At this moment, the roar of killing resounded like thunder throughout the world. Tadada Sakai and Yohei Hasegawa looked at each other, cheered up, and then they stood up in unison.
Sakai Tadada pushed down the door and shouted: "Gather your troops. Tie a white cloth on your left arm. Identify friends and foes."
"Sakai Army. Join the Han Army to fight. Get Matsudaira Kagetora's head."
Say it. Sakai Tadada pulled out the katana from his waist. The sharp blade emitted a faint light in the dark night.
"yes."
The retainers of the Sakai family were surprised at first. But he quickly accepted it, agreed happily, and then organized troops to welcome the Han army into the city.
The internal bodyguards of the Han army were led by a Qianhu. With the help of a daimyo, he entered Osaka Castle from the west.
But before they could fight Matsudaira Kagetora.
After some daimyo troops tied up with white cloth, they attacked Nimaru first.
Some daimyo led their troops to attack the daimyo troops who were not wearing white cloth.
The daimyo and generals of Toyotomi's army in the city were fighting each other, and it was very chaotic. at the same time. Some big names who had no contact with the Han army rebelled on the battlefield when they saw that the situation was over.
"I am willing to submit to the Han army. Please do not attack us."
A daimyo wanted to join the Han army and was gladly accepted, and then they attacked Erwan together.
Nimaru was also quickly conquered by the daimyo.
The rebellious daimyo and the Han army's imperial guards gathered their forces to attack Honmaru. The main compound was guarded by 10,000 elite soldiers led by Matsudaira Kagetora and Oda Nobumasa.
Among them were five thousand northern samurai.
Facing this expected attack, the more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Toyotomi Army did not panic and took up arms to resist.
For a time, Osaka Castle Honmaru was as solid as a rock.
"Set up the ladder and attack the Honmaru. Kill Matsudaira Kagetora. Let all the Fuso people see the fighting power of our Han people."
Qian Hu, a Han army guard, pulled out the steel knife from his waist and shouted.
"Kill!!!!" the Han army's imperial guard roared, carrying a ladder and setting it up on the wall of Honmaru. Then, under the attack of arrows, stones and wood flew down, with unparalleled momentum. At a heavy cost of casualties, they successfully entered Honmaru.
Countless Toyotomi soldiers fell into a pool of blood. At this time, even the northern warriors were frightened, and the battle became one-sided.
"Set fire quickly. Burn this pill."
In order to make the Toyotomi army give up resistance as soon as possible, the Han army officers issued orders one after another. The guards of the Han army held torches and set fire everywhere in the blink of an eye.
The Honmaru, the core of Osaka Castle, fell into a sea of fire.
The castle tower also burst into flames.
Seeing that the situation was over, large numbers of Toyotomi soldiers, including samurai from the north, either committed seppuku or committed suicide on their knees, begging for mercy.
Blood and corpses covered this pill.
As two of the Four Toyotomi Kings, Matsudaira Kagetora and Oda Nobumasa did not abandon the Toyotomi family in this final battle, and they did their best.
The top floor of the castle tower is about to be engulfed in flames.
Matsudaira Kagetora and Oda Nobumasa, together with a small number of samurai warriors, stood here, looking down at the fallen Osaka Castle.
"The world of the Toyotomi family is cut off." Matsudaira Kagetora sighed.
"Finally relieved." Oda Nobumasa closed his eyes, feeling happy in his heart. Death is not terrible, but waiting to die is terrible.
Under siege by the Han army, they seemed like caged birds.
Now.
it's over.
Almost at the same time, Matsudaira Kagetora and Oda Nobumasa took off the helmets on their heads, unbuttoned their armors, took off their clothes, and exposed their bellies. He picked up the wakizashi again and wrapped it in white cloth.
"Farewell, Kagetora-sama." Oda Nobumasa held the part wrapped in white cloth with both hands, and fiercely inserted the sword into his abdomen. After the cross-section was completed, a retainer chopped off his head.
"Farewell." Matsudaira Kagetora closed his eyes and completed seppuku with a calm expression, and his head was chopped off by his retainers.
All the samurai warriors who followed them committed seppuku. Soon, all the bodies were consumed by the fire.
The fire in Osaka Castle Honmaru burned for a whole night. When it got brighter, the fire gradually extinguished.
The excavation work was carried out by the daimyo.
Wu Nian, wearing armor and surrounded by Wang Gui and other Ouchi guards, came to Honmaru. Watching the soldiers dig out the charred corpses and carry them out.
"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Toyotomi family and Honda Hidenobu, the third in the world, are all generals. It's a pity that they can't be used by others." Wu Nian turned his head, looked at Wang Gui, and sighed softly.
This time when they attacked Fusang, the Han army absorbed a lot of ronin. But the real heroes were almost killed or committed seppuku.
The heroes of Fuso possess extraordinary courage in the face of death.
"Death in battle is the fate of military commanders. For them, loyalty to the Toyotomi family is everything." Wang Gui said with great emotion.
Just like them Han generals.
For the sake of the king, you can also throw your life and blood.
Forget about death.
Loyalty is the same no matter what country you are in.
Wu Nian sighed with emotion for a while, then took Wang Gui and others out of the first pill and came to the second pill. In a room in Erwan, Wu Nian met the daimyo who surrendered and rewarded them.
Nothing to say that day.
Early the next morning. Wu Nian then led 110,000 Han soldiers to the front line.
The great names who surrendered led their armies and followed in the battle, waving flags and shouting, adding to the prestige of the Han army.
The enemy is in Edo.
The headquarters of the Toyotomi family.
