Cao Cao received Lu Xuan's order and immediately informed him.
The soldier got the order and shouted: "Tokugawa Ieyasu, your granary has been burned."
With a very simple sentence, the shouts soared into the sky outside the city, echoed endlessly, and even reached the towers clearly.
Tokugawa Ieyasu heard the shouting. Although it was shouting in the Japanese language and sounded strange and awkward, at least it was clearly expressed. Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly looked towards the burning fire and the thick smoke in the city, and his heart sank to the bottom.
The granary in the back suddenly caught fire!
The granary is a top priority.
With sufficient food, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not panicked and could fight a protracted war with Lu Xuan. Without food, military morale will collapse.
"Tsukama Kazuo, where did you die?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked around and shouted loudly.
However, there was no answer from Tsukaima Kazuo.
Tokugawa Ieyasu searched around again, but could not find Tsukaima Kazuo. A thought suddenly arose in Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart. The granary was in charge of Tsukauma Kazuo. Now that the granary was on fire and Tsukauma Kazuo disappeared again, could it be that Tsukauma Kazuo betrayed him.
Tokugawa Ieyasu thought about countless possibilities, but finally found that thinking about them was meaningless.
A fire broke out in the granary, and an army of more than 100,000 people was deprived of food. They might be able to survive with willpower on the first day, but what would they do on the second day?
Lu Xuan's method was to hit the snake within seven inches!
A stick hit him in the weak spot.
Too cruel!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind was buzzing. He looked at the countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were being killed outside the city. Hearing the shouts of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty outside the city, he fell into a state of confusion.
"kill!"
A shout came.
Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly woke up, and when he came to his senses, he instantly saw a Ming soldier coming to kill him with a knife.
A cold light flashed across Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes, his right hand rested on the sword at his waist, and he exerted force instantly.
Sonorous!
The cold light flashed, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's katana struck down as fast as lightning.
Zhila!
The blade struck the Ming soldiers, breaking their armor, and beheaded the Ming soldiers who were close to him.
Tokugawa Ieyasu has always been very strong in martial arts. At this time, although he was busy running the place all day long, his own martial arts was not neglected and he practiced martial arts diligently. He doesn't look strong, but he is physically very strong.
Facing elite soldiers, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not afraid.
Tokugawa Ieyasu killed the approaching Ming soldiers one after another. Looking at the panicked soldiers on the tower and the many Japanese soldiers arrayed in the city who had not yet participated in the battle, he found that some people were already fleeing in all directions.
The granaries burned and the army collapsed.
People's hearts are scattered.
Therefore, the soldiers kept fleeing.
Tokugawa Ieyasu felt disappointed and knew that he was completely defeated. He fought for a while longer, killing the approaching Ming army. After sighing, he quietly led his men to evacuate.
He retreated without fanfare.
Even so, a large number of people followed and retreated.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat still released a substitute, wearing the same armor as him, especially Tokugawa Ieyasu's emperor's flag was also nearby. As for Tokugawa Ieyasu himself, he quietly changed into his samurai uniform and retreated not far away wearing ordinary clothes.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat was to break out from the east gate. When Tokugawa Ieyasu and his party left the east gate, the double was killed, a large number of Ming troops gathered, and even more Ming troops surrounded them.
Tokugawa Ieyasu led a few people, looked at the substitute who was trapped in the sea of people, and changed positions from the east gate direction to go north.
He walked through the east gate on purpose.
When he goes to the east gate, Lu Xuan's army will gather in the direction of the east gate. He went directly to the north gate and broke out from the direction of the north gate. Too many people would gather in the direction of the north gate and he would be unable to evacuate.
Tokugawa Ieyasu headed north excitedly.
All the way north, although there were a few Ming soldiers guarding and encircling them. However, these Ming troops were small in number and could not stop them in time, nor could they pose a threat to Tokugawa Ieyasu, so Tokugawa Ieyasu successfully broke through.
Tokugawa Ieyasu ran a certain distance and did not see his pursuers coming, so he reined in his horse and stopped. He turned around and looked at Kyoto, which was still billowing with thick smoke, with unprecedented resentment in his eyes.
This battle was so unfairly defeated.
If his granary is stable, has sufficient food and grass, and has a large number of elite soldiers, it is impossible for him to have problems and he will not be defeated directly.
"Tsukama Kazuo, you are so disappointing."
Tokugawa Ieyasu gritted his teeth and spoke.
At this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to kill someone and killed Tsukama Kazuo in revenge.
He thought of Lu Xuan again.
Although desperate and helpless, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not give up.
After some thought, Tokugawa Ieyasu said with sharp eyes: "Lu Xuan, although you won the victory, I escaped. As long as I am still alive and hiding in the mountains to avoid you, I will definitely be able to use the people of Japan to help me." Come back again.”
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near.
The vibration of the horses' hooves became stronger and stronger.
Under such a premise, Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart suddenly became nervous, and he suddenly looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from. In an instant, he saw a group of cavalry coming.
The leader is clearly Ma Chao.
Ma Chao did not participate in the battle and had been hiding on the periphery, waiting for Tokugawa Ieyasu to break out.
Now, Tokugawa Ieyasu has escaped, and Ma Chao has a chance. When he was not participating in the war, Ma Chao was worried, fearing that the army led by Lu Xuan had already won victory in Kyoto County and killed Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Fortunately, Tokugawa Ieyasu 'lived up to expectations' and escaped after all.
Ma Chao's eyes were filled with anticipation. He now hoped to win over Tokugawa Ieyasu, which would be his final achievement in unifying Japan.
"kill!"
Ma Chao roared loudly.
He patted the horse's back, speeding up faster and faster, and the surrounding cavalry quickly followed up.
The distance between the two sides quickly closed.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the incoming cavalry team and lost his mind again. If the food and grass were burned, it was the first time he had a breakdown. So now being surrounded again, Tokugawa Ieyasu's mood began to collapse.
Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced around.
After this group of Ming Dynasty cavalry came, they were already adjusting their formation. They all dispersed and surrounded them in an arc fan shape.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's troops were not large enough to charge forward and could only retreat.
If you don't retreat, you have no chance.
But once he retreated and Lu Xuan's army was behind him, he still had no chance.
This is a desperate situation.
"Kill out!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu made his decision instantly.
If there is no way, just find a way. Many people have forgotten that when Tokugawa Ieyasu established himself, he relied on his own martial arts to kill chickens and scare monkeys, subdue all the Japanese, and make the Japanese obedient to achieve unprecedented achievements.
Many people have forgotten that he can fight and kill people.
Tokugawa Ieyasu charged with his katana, and the ninja warriors around him also charged together.
Less than a hundred steps away, the two sides met in an instant.
Tokugawa Ieyasu sat astride the horse with his legs. After stabilizing his body, he held the katana in both hands and swung it.
