On one side is the navy with sharp artillery fire.
On one side is the West Route Army that looks like a demon.
Honda Tadakatsu was in a dead situation, and he had a strong feeling that he would not be able to get out of Shuntian alive.
The samurai under his command did not know this.
Until now, they still firmly believe that Dongguo Wushuang can persist until reinforcements arrive, because Honda Tadakatsu has not suffered any injuries so far in the battle.
Whether it's Mikawa, Aekawa, or other battles, the enemy's color will change when they see the iconic Shikaku Kabuto, Dragonfly Kiri, and Tadakatsu's Zhongkui Horse Seal, and they are called the incarnations of "Hachiman Bodhisattva" .
At this moment, Liu Wei had compressed the Japanese army's main formation into an area with very limited space and surrounded by more than a dozen streets. For this, he had to pay a huge price.
Many direct line troops have been destroyed as a result.
If I didn't do tricks at the beginning, would I need to fight like this?
The old boy sighed in his heart, and then quickly cut off these unnecessary thoughts.
No matter what, victory is within easy reach, and no matter how much sacrifice is made, it is worth it.
With this in mind, he took over an exaggeratedly heavy sword from the hands of two generals behind him. This is also the reason why Liu Wei became famous. The weight of the weapon is so heavy that throughout the entire ancient Chinese history, it is difficult to find anyone who can surpass it. He was called "the most powerful general in the late Ming Dynasty" by later generations.
Because of this, Lu Li, whose own combat power was damaged, was willing to give up a large part of his achievements and fame in exchange for the other party's full assistance.
Both parties feel that they have made a profit.
"Sir, is this the only battle we can fight?" Chen Li asked.
Lu Li stood on top of the civilian house, looked over there from a distance, and replied: "Based on my understanding of the various generals, it is very difficult for large-scale battles to happen again."
"But after the Japanese army retreats, the remaining forces should be handed over to the navy."
Historically, when the court discussed merits, Chen Li ranked first, followed by Liu Wei, who did business with Shuntian Japanese generals and deliberately concealed the truth.
Now, Lu Li should be firmly ranked as the first hero, followed by Liu Wei who was forced to participate in the war and got a share of the credit, and third was Chen Li's turn.
Ma Gui, Dong Yiyuan, Duke, Pan Ming...
The achievements of these two self-destruction guys should be higher than those of the admiral, but they are under Ma Gui's command. No matter how high their merits are or how great the sacrifices they make, they will still benefit from the glory.
Is it worthy?
There is nothing you can do if you don’t deserve it.
It is really sad that so many famous generals gathered on the battlefield of the peninsula, but they fought bad battles one after another.
Anyway, he no longer wants to be a general of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Faction struggles are disgusting to watch, let alone experience them personally many times.
The only pity is for those brothers who crossed the Yalu River and were buried in a foreign land.
Just as he was thinking about it, a golden sound came.
The movement was very loud.
Many low-level generals felt their eardrums hurt, let alone ordinary soldiers, and they formed formations to resist the aftermath.
Lu Li gathered his thoughts and waited for the final blow he wanted.
For now, Liu Wei is at a disadvantage.
However, he has an army of more than 10,000 people to rely on and can provide blessings at any time. However, Honda Tadakatsu only has two or three big cats and kittens left with him, and his troops are less than 3,000, so his help is very limited.
As the time goes.
The two sides began to lose their battle. Dongguo Wushuang, who claimed to have never been injured in battle, had a hideous wound on his right arm and left cheek. Liu Wei, on the other hand, looked more seriously injured, but he recovered faster. Many wounds were almost healed before he could breathe. time to recover.
Chen Li, who originally looked at Honda Tadakatsu with contempt, unknowingly became calm and serious. He thought to himself:
If you abandon the most powerful fleet and engage in a one-on-one duel with it, it is almost impossible to kill it.
As for the broadsword general Liu Wei, who was previously despised for his character, he was not bad at all in terms of personal combat prowess.
Lu Li was speechless.
Anyone can see that he has now concentrated all his energy on finding the best time to enter.
Honda Tadakatsu did not use a katana. A dragonfly sword with an extremely exaggerated length appeared to be extremely flexible and powerful in the hands of this short, monkey-like man.
If everyone hadn't taken action to protect the surrounding area, the entire city would have collapsed bit by bit in the battles.
Lord Tokugawa...
The golden roar continued until it was dark again, like Honda Tadakatsu murmuring at the end of his crossbow. Then, the offensive became more fierce, and he suppressed Liu Wei for a while.
Unfortunately, the Japanese generals did not show any surprise. They understood that this state could not last long. If Liu Wei was not killed within a short time limit, the offensive and defensive momentum would be reversed immediately.
But Liu Wei just sneered.
The last time he acted, he held a Hongmen Banquet but failed to kill Honda Tadakatsu. He knew that the opponent was very strong, so when he launched a siege, there was a military order to do everything possible to consume the number of Japanese.
The one-to-one battle loss ratio is actually completely acceptable, because the Ming army has an absolute numerical advantage on this battlefield.
Under such consumption, Liu Wei, who was already confident in himself, secured the victory in advance and firmly believed that this battle was a sure win. He only needed to hold on for a while, and the trapped beast would completely lose its strength and he could be harvested.
Of course, Lu Li thought so too.
Sensing that the opportunity was getting closer, he secretly communicated with Ziwei Emperor Sword, preparing to release the red lotus karma fire that had been strengthened many times, and prepare for the final supplies before leaving this world.
Devour
Use Dongguo Wushuang as fuel!
As soon as the idea came to his mind, Dragonfly Kiritari, who was dancing like a tiger, suddenly let go. Liu Wei swung his sword and cut off Honda Tadakatsu at the waist.
This is not a fatal injury. Kato Kiyomasa had only one head left, but he still flew away at top speed and recovered his body behind.
But this scene showed that Honda had completely lost his fighting ability. Lu Li did not hesitate at all, and the imperial sword flashed past, so fast that no one could see the specific situation.
In fact, except for the two parties involved in the conspiracy and a few generals who knew about it, no one would have thought that the Navy Commander would suddenly take action.
Because he had been warned in advance, Liu Wei evacuated immediately. He saw a strange red lotus blooming.
Honda Tadakatsu, who had already calmly accepted his death, never thought that he would die in the hands of another person and would be unable to resist at all.
…
Todo Takatora, a servant of the eighth surname, returned to Sichuan in a blaze of fireworks. He allocated a large part of the warships to transport the Kyushu Corps back home, and he hurriedly joined the support fleet not long ago in an attempt to relieve Shuntian's crisis.
However, the war there was too cruel, and the battle damage rate was frighteningly high. To save Honda Tadakatsu, who was neither a relative nor an acquaintance, the price was too exaggerated.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had reached an armistice agreement with the Central Ming Army, stood on the coast with a sad expression and sighed:
"Nanosuke died in battle."
Everyone around him could not believe it. This was Honda Tadakatsu's childhood name. Only Tokugawa could call him that, because he had been serving his master since he was ten years old. At that time, Ieyasu was still called Matsudaira Motoyasu and had not yet changed his surname or name.
"Get ready for comprehensive peace talks."
