"Calling all your lords together, come to the big tent for discussion."

Honda Hidenobu raised his head and said to his retainers.

"Yes." The retainers responded, and then most of them left, while a few important ministers stayed. The envoy of Okubo Tadamitsu also stayed.

Not long after, the military commanders of various daimyo arrived at the main tent one after another. After bowing to Honda Hidenobu, they each sat down.

Hidenobu Honda told the story first, then stood up, holding the hilt of the katana at his waist with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "We are samurai. Loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor is a matter of course."

"Now His Majesty is in trouble, we should sacrifice our lives to protect His Majesty."

"I have decided to send troops tomorrow. Make preparations as soon as you get back."

"Yes." The generals cheered up and immediately stood up to answer.

"Messenger, please go back immediately and tell Lord Okubo Tadamitsu. Ask him to pay attention to the movements outside the city and send troops according to changes in the situation. Cooperate with me inside and outside."

"Eat the Han army."

Honda Hidenobu turned his head and said to the messenger.

"Yes." The messenger exhaled a long breath, and the pressure suddenly dissipated. Then a solemn look appeared on his face, and he bent down to salute.

Following Honda Hidenobu's order, 20,000 troops began to make preparations. Early the next morning, Honda Hidenobu led the Honda family's main army, with troops of various daimyo in front and behind, marching along the avenue in a mighty way.

Depart for Kyoto.

At the same time, Honda Hidenobu also sent a large number of spies to inquire about the movements of the Han army to prevent himself from being suddenly attacked.

Although the Kyoto Plain is flat, the possibility of a surprise attack by the Han army is extremely low.

............

Kyoto.

In the hall of the office, Okubo Tadamitsu is wearing armor and sitting on the main seat. His face is tired and his breathing is abnormal.

In front of him was the envoy who came back to report. The envoy traveled back and forth between the two places in a short time, and almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

"Okay. Finally. The day has finally arrived." Okubo Tadamitsu stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly.

Hidenobu Honda, this bastard, if you don’t come to my rescue, I won’t be able to hold on anymore.

You are really capable, allowing me to consume the strength of the Han army under the walls of Kyoto.

However, thanks to you, the Han army also suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted. This is an excellent opportunity. Let's cooperate inside and outside.

Destroy the Han army in Kyoto.

Thinking of this, Okubo Tadamitsu couldn't help but gasp. During this time, he was under great pressure.

He desperately gathered supplies and forcibly recruited the people in the city to climb the city wall and die. This caused huge public outrage.

Although it withstood waves of offensives by the Han army, it was already at the end of its rope.

finally.

It's finally time to clear up the clouds and see the sun.

Let us destroy the Han army.

.............

Wang Gui's camp, inside the Chinese army's tent.

Wu Nian was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the handsome seat with a casual posture. He picked up the hot tea cup on the coffee table and took a comfortable sip.

Beishanbao’s wild mountain tea still tastes like this.

Wang Gui and Kitahara Sosuke were also sipping tea, with smiles on their faces.

"It's not easy. This old boy Hidenobu Honda finally came out." Wu Nian put down the tea cup and sighed with emotion. Then he turned to Wang Gui and said, "In order to avoid scaring him away."

"I will lead five thousand warriors into battle."

"Prepare troops and horses. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Wang Gui responded with a smile.

"Mr. Kitahara, you stay here, use your eyes and ears, and continue to keep an eye on the wind and grass on the Kyoto plain. Once we defeat Honda Hidenobu, we will clean up the daimyo castle and the samurai who are entrenched in the Kyoto plain."

Wu Nian looked up at Kitahara Sosuke, feeling very high-spirited.

"Yes." Kitahara Sosuke bent down and bowed.

Immediately, the two of them went down. Wu Nian stayed in the big tent to recharge his batteries.

One day and one night passed.

Early the next morning, when it was still bright, the Huotou Army had already prepared breakfast, and the smell of rice filled the camp.

The Han soldiers began to eat in an orderly manner.

Different from the Han army of Lu Liuliang and others, Wu Nian's imperial bodyguards were all Han people from Liaodong. Their combat effectiveness and fighting will were stronger than those of Youyan Han soldiers.

They are the strongest soldiers and horses in Han Dynasty.

After breakfast, the Han soldiers gathered under the military platform. Among them was a heavy armor and heavy axe soldier from Qianhu, and a divine arm archer from Qianhu.

Three ordinary soldiers from a thousand households.

Even ordinary soldiers have a very high armor coverage rate.

"Da da da!!!!" The fierce sound of horse hooves sounded. Wu Nian, wearing iron armor and holding a horse with eight feet in his hand, led Wang Gui and dozens of other horsemen to the front of the soldiers, but did not get on the ordering platform.

, he rode his horse directly in front of the soldiers and reined in the horse.

Wu Nian thought for a moment and had nothing to say. He raised the Zhangba horse in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me. Be as invincible as ever."

"kill!!!!!"

This simple sentence made the Ouchi guards' blood boil immediately. They all raised their weapons and roared in response to Wu Nian.

"Haha." Wu Nian chuckled, reined in his horse, nodded to Wang Gui, and then commanded the soldiers of the five thousand households, bringing a small amount of food and luggage.

It looked like a tractor speeding down the highway, emitting black smoke.

Without concealing his presence, he headed straight towards Honda Hidenobu's army with high spirits and high spirits.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae!!!!" The flag in Chinese characters was flying in the wind and making a hunting sound, like a flying dragon with its teeth and claws showing a fierce light.

........

Hidenobu Honda.

Hidenobu Honda dispatched a large number of spies, and Wu Nian made no secret of his actions.

Naturally, he got the news as soon as possible.

"An army of five or six thousand?" Honda Hidenobu, wearing pure black armor, sat on a horse and frowned.

Although during this period, the Han army suffered heavy casualties due to siege.

This was also directed by myself.

Utilize the Kyoto city wall and Okubo Tadamitsu's power to weaken the Han army.

But is the Han army so weak? An army of five to six thousand dares to openly attack more than 20,000 of us?

Although these 20,000 troops are not our main force.

But it is also filled with a large number of samurai retainers and ronin. After this period of time, their combat effectiveness is not bad.

In addition, he, a world-famous general, is in charge.

The Han army should have sent at least 10,000 people to fight against them, right?

Hidenobu Honda was puzzled, angry at being slighted, worried that something was going wrong, and feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"Huh!!!!" Honda Hidenobu took a deep breath, then shook his head, abandoning the distracting thoughts in his heart, his eyes were bright, and his expression was extremely determined.

Now it's the best fighter.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

"Inform all your lords of the news. We will first eat up these five or six thousand Han troops. Then we will march to Kyoto and together with Okubo Tadamitsu-sama, we will destroy all the Han troops."

Honda Hidenobu raised the golden riding crop in his hand and shouted.
Chapter completed!
