Tokugawa Ieyasu rested his hands on the city wall and looked into the distance with a rather nervous expression.
Lu Xuan is here again!
Lu Xuan knew who he was, his life history, and he knew more about the situation in Japan. He seemed naked in front of Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan saw through everything. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu knew nothing about Lu Xuan.
Everything about the other party was shrouded and he couldn't see clearly. He didn't know the details of the other party at all.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Tsukauma Kazuo on the side, his eyes were deep, and asked: "Tsukama-kun, do you think we can win the battle with Lu Xuan?"
"The Emperor must win!"
Tsukama Kazuo answered without thinking.
However, he was slandering in his heart.
Tokugawa Ieyasu took the initiative to ask if he could win, and he was already sure that he had no confidence. He has followed Tokugawa Ieyasu for more than ten years, and all the Tokugawa Ieyasu he met were calm, calm and well-informed.
This time, it was a rare inquiry.
Tsukama Kazuo was even more grateful in his heart. Thanks to having found a way out, he would be able to work for Lu Xuan in the future.
The Japanese kingdom was destroyed, but he was still there.
The Japanese kingdom disappeared, but the Tsukaima family remained.
There was a trace of scrutiny in Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes, but he pretended to be relaxed and asked again: "Tsukama-kun, you and I have known each other for more than ten years. Tell the truth, do you think this battle can really be won?"
"Can win!"
Tsukaima Kazuo still answered firmly.
He stared into the distance and analyzed: "We have a hundred thousand people, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. Although Lu Xuan has elite soldiers and war horses, we have a strong city and are not afraid of Lu Xuan's attack. Because of Lu Xuan's Cavalry is useless when attacking a city."
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded happily and said softly: "Tsukama-kun, you have been busy raising food and grass and stabilizing the rear for this battle. Thank you for your hard work."
Tsukaima Kazuo said: "This is what I should do."
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded and stopped talking, thinking about how he should deal with Lu Xuan's words when Lu Xuan arrived?
In the last battle, he saw Lu Xuan's powerful mouth. So this time, I was racking my brains to think about how he should deal with Lu Xuan once he stalked her again.
Tsukauma Kazuo and Tokugawa Ieyasu each had their own thoughts and looked quietly outside the city.
Not long after, I saw a mighty army coming on the official road outside the city.
Lu Xuan's army is coming.
Lu Xuan's troops this time were stronger than before, with 24,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry. Although Lu Xuan's number was smaller overall, Lu Xuan's soldiers were more elite and his cavalry was more sophisticated.
The two sides fought, and Lu Xuan still had the advantage.
Lu Xuan stood up on his horse, raised his head and looked towards the tower, and saw Tokugawa Ieyasu and others standing on the tower.
He smiled softly.
Tokugawa Ieyasu may still be thinking about his shouting, but this time, Lu Xuan has no intention of weakening Tokugawa Ieyasu by shouting.
Lu Xuan raised his hand and ordered: "Attack!"
Cao Cao decisively gave the order, but the arrangement was still the same, with no changes. Archers and catapults went first to bombard the towers of Kyoto and suppress the forces on the towers.
After seeing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly ordered a counterattack. The city of Kyoto is more stable and taller, and it is not afraid of being stoned. In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu has many archers who can shoot arrows to counterattack.
Even so, Lu Xuan's army still moved forward.
At the front are the shield soldiers, carrying their shields and charging through the rain of arrows. At the same time, catapults, ladder trucks, and crash carts were constantly rushing forward. A large number of troops attacked. Although there were injuries from bows and arrows, Tokugawa Ieyasu's defense methods were not sufficient, so the Ming army quickly approached the tower.
Get on the ladders one by one.
Ladder trucks and crash trucks were onslaught.
Many soldiers sprinted along the ladders, and more soldiers attacked with ladder trucks.
The cloud ladder is a simple ladder. The ladder is set up on the tower and climbed up step by step. The ladder truck is different. It is more convenient. It is an instrument with wheels that can be pushed forward. After it is fixed outside the city, the grapple hook on the top of the ladder is used to fix the ladder to the city wall and the car body.
The soldiers stepped on the ladder and rushed directly towards the opponent's tower.
This makes it easier.
In terms of large-scale siege equipment arrangements, a large-scale Ming army attacked.
Tokugawa Ieyasu steadily arranged for people to defend, and counterattacked with stones, boiling water, and wood to prevent the Ming army from attacking. Because the city wall was strong and Tokugawa Ieyasu had a large number of troops, Lu Xuan's offensive, although fierce, did not break the defense line for the time being.
However, the fighting became more and more chaotic.
During the chaos of the fighting, Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated to the rear corner to take command. Tsukama Kazuo quietly left Tokugawa Ieyasu's side and returned to the city on the pretext of trying to stabilize people's hearts.
Tsukama Kazuo found Momotani Tadashi and quickly asked: "Momotani-kun, are everything ready?"
Momotani Tadashi nodded firmly and said with urgent eyes: "Everyone is ready and can complete the task in one go."
Tsukama Kazuo ordered: "Let's go!"
Momotani Tadashi nodded and took Tsukama Kazuo to move quickly towards the granary. On the way, Momotani Tadashi mobilized 600 soldiers, but the other 400 guards were not mobilized, because the 600 were true direct descendants.
When a group of people arrived at the granary, Tadani Tadashi did not hesitate and directly ordered the fight.
The number of guards in the granary was small, only about 200. They were killed by Tadani Tadashi's soldiers. After a confrontation, they were killed and defeated. Taogu Zhong personally charged into the battle, killed him with all his strength, rushed into the granary, and quickly set it on fire.
Torches were thrown on the food.
Torches ignited sacks and other flammable materials.
In the granary, fires broke out everywhere.
After the fire burned, the fire snakes kept scurrying around, forming seas of fire everywhere in a short period of time.
The fire burned and smoke billowed.
Tsukauma Kazuo and Momotani Tadashi no longer cared about the fighting scene and left quickly with their people. It's just that Tsukauma Kazuo and his party did not escape directly, nor did they go to the tower to participate in the battle. There is no benefit in hiding, and Lu Xuan will not take him seriously.
If they went directly to the tower to join the battle, their troops would be small, and they would not have enough troops to participate in the fight against Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The arrangement of Tsukama Kazuo and others was to go to the Emperor's residence.
Tokugawa Ieyasu went to defend, and the troops were mobilized.
Although there is a troop of soldiers guarding the Emperor's mansion, there are more than 600 Momotani Tadashi soldiers, all of whom are his direct descendants and the elites he trained. Killing these people is enough to win in one battle.
As Tsukama Kazuo acted quickly, the billowing smoke became higher and higher and could be seen throughout the city.
Lu Xuan noticed the rising smoke and knew that Tsukama Kazuo had won. He was in high spirits and said loudly: "Father-in-law, arrange the actions of the soldiers who shouted. Now, let's defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu's morale in one go and completely capture Kyoto."
"Tokugawa Ieyasu, it's time to be dealt with."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and looking forward to it.
Having fought so many times with Tokugawa Ieyasu, this time with Tsukaima Kazuo as an internal agent, Tokugawa Ieyasu was stabbed in the back and lost the foundation of his footing. The overall situation was decided.
