The Japanese soldiers stared fearfully and wide-eyed outside the city. As time passed by, the thrilling sounds of fighting and screams gradually fell into silence.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the darkness and rushed to the city gate. The Japanese soldiers on the wall were shocked, and then they heard the people below the city shouting: "Open the city gate quickly, I am Honda Tadakatsu!" It turned out to be Honda!
Tadakatsu fled back in defeat! Although Musashio heard that the voice was indeed that of Honda Tadakatsu, he did not dare to be careless at all. He looked carefully at the bottom of the city and confirmed that it was indeed Honda Tadakatsu before ordering the city gate to be opened. The gate opened.
, Honda Tadakatsu and others quickly fled into the city, and then the city gate slammed shut again.
Musashio and others hurriedly came down from the city wall. They saw that Honda Tadakatsu and others had only returned with a few dozen people, and they couldn't help but feel shocked. Honda Tadakatsu and others got off their horses, and everyone looked like they had just recovered from the shock.
After that, defeated soldiers continued to flee back to the city until the early morning of the next day. Musashio and others counted the losses and found that only about 10,000 of the 30,000 troops who attacked had returned, and almost 20,000 were missing. They must have been murderers.
Too much luck.
Last night, at Musashio's insistence, Honda Tadakatsu and Nishino Oki led 30,000 troops to attack. According to the previously formulated plan, Honda Tadakatsu first led 10,000 troops to raid the enemy camp, while Nishino Oki led two troops.
Thousands of soldiers and horses then responded. If Honda Tadakatsu succeeds, he will immediately attack the enemy camp to help Honda Tadakatsu expand his results and completely defeat the Yanyun army. If Honda Tadakatsu fails to attack, he will go to the rescue. Musashi Yumitsu thinks that his
The plan was perfect, but I didn't expect that Yan Yun's army had been in battle for a long time and would often deploy complete defensive measures even when they were resting. Last night, although Yang Peng and others did not expect that the enemy would come for a sneak attack, they followed the usual
The Japanese army came for a sneak attack that night and ran into a trap that was not carefully arranged by the Yanyun Army. Although Honda Tadakatsu's troops who were in the lead were surrounded and annihilated, the supporting troops were
However, they were ambushed by Shi Wengong's troops who were ambushing outside the camp and suffered heavy losses. In this battle, Musashi wanted to defeat Yan Yun's army in one fell swoop, but he did not want to fall into the trap of Yan Yun's army, stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
, the losses were so heavy that even Honda Tadakatsu almost didn’t come back.
"Humph, you didn't listen to my uncle's advice to have such a disastrous defeat!" Mitsuhako Fujita said with mockery. Musashio's heart was stabbed hard, and he glared at Mitsuhako Fujita, feeling extremely angry in his heart. However,
After all, it was my own mistake that caused such heavy losses, so I couldn't blame the other party.
Fujita Hiromichi shouted at Fujita Mitsukazu: "Don't be rude!" Fujita Mitsukazu lowered his head and said nothing more.
Dong dong dong, wu wu wu, war drums and horns suddenly sounded loudly in the early morning mist. Several people on the top of the city couldn't help but were startled. They quickly looked outside the city and saw the mountains and seas of Yanyun.
The army is pressing towards the city wall. Their swords and guns reflect the rays of the rising sun. The flags are like rolling clouds. The earth is shaking gently. There is a faint roar like rolling thunder in the ears. There are nearly a hundred thousand troops. In addition to the roaring sound and the trumpet,
Except for the sound of the people, there was actually no noise, and they were full of murderous intent. This Yanyun Army was indeed a powerful brigade sweeping the world!
The Japanese officers and soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw the Yan Yun army's appearance and momentum.
Before Yan Yun's army reached the city wall, it divided into three groups, with the left and right groups going to the north and south sides of Kaijing City respectively. It was obvious that they planned to attack Kaijing City from the west, south and north at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Musashio immediately sent more troops to the north and south walls to strengthen the defense. Suddenly, there was a busy scene in the capital with people shouting and horses neighing. The Korean people in the city couldn't help but feel gloating in their hearts when they saw the Japanese were so nervous.
Feeling like this, I silently prayed to the king to break through the city as soon as possible and kill these Japanese who were inferior to pigs and dogs. These Goryeo people thought that the troops approaching the city were their Goryeo soldiers.
The Yanyun army surrounded Kaijing City on three sides. Yang Peng ordered the army to attack, and the five thousand assault troops immediately shouted and rushed out of a large formation towards the city wall. In an instant, arrows from both sides were seen flying in the sky.
Yanyun's warriors began to rush towards the city wall, while the Japanese soldiers threw rolling stones at the city wall. The Yanyun army's offensive was extremely fierce, and after a while, it was about to rush to the top of the city. Musashio and others saw this
They were very nervous and immediately mobilized troops frequently to come for support.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud killing sound on the north and south sides. Musashio and others who were directing the battle on the west wall were shocked. They quickly looked towards the north and south sides and saw that the Yanyun Army who had stationed troops outside the north and south walls suddenly launched an attack.
The offensive was much more fierce than that on the west city wall. I saw the dense rain of arrows leaping over the city wall one after another. Our soldiers on the city wall fell down one after another. Then those tough Yanyun soldiers boarded the top of the city and killed them.
Entering among our own soldiers, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, our soldiers fell one after another. Although our soldiers fought back desperately, the situation was like a vicious dog fighting a tiger. Groups of them rushed forward, only to be mercilessly beaten by the tiger's claws.
The ground is torn apart, and although the tigers will inevitably suffer casualties, the situation for the vicious dogs is becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Fujita Hiromichi rushed to Musashio and said urgently: "Musashi-kun, all reserves must be transferred to the north and south sides, otherwise the north and south sides will be lost!" Musashio came back to his senses, his eyes were focused, and he immediately said to Fujita Hiromichi
: "Fujita-kun, you stay at the west gate and you must not make any mistakes! I will lead the army to support the north gate!" Then he turned to Honda Tadakatsu and said: "Honda-kun will lead the army to support the south gate!" Fujita Hiromichi and Ben
Duo Zhongsheng cheered at the same time.
Immediately, Musashio and Honda Tadakatsu each commanded an army and rushed to the north and south walls of the city, trying to drive down the Yanyun army that had attacked the city wall. The soldiers of both sides roared in bloody battle on the top of the city, and a thump-dong-dong was heard from the city gate.
There was a loud bang, which was the city ramming vehicle violently hitting the city gate. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered a lot of casualties. However, the Japanese army failed to achieve the purpose of driving away the Yanyun army. Although the Japanese soldiers had a huge advantage in military strength,
However, with two or three people fighting against one Yan Yun army, they could barely maintain an undefeated situation. However, at this time, the loud noises in the city gate were still coming. Listening to the sound, it seemed that the city gate was about to collapse.
Already.
Musashi was so anxious that he immediately gave an order to the few bodyguard warriors around him. The warriors cheered and ran down quickly.
Blood and flesh were flying everywhere on the city wall, and Japanese soldiers who were killed kept falling down. From time to time, Yanyun soldiers who died in battle also fell off the city wall. There were already mountains of corpses on the city wall. The corpses of the soldiers on both sides were pressed against each other.
You piled up layer by layer on the city wall. The Yanyun army continued to climb the city wall along the ladder, becoming more and more courageous as they fought. The Japanese army also continued to add fresh troops to the city wall without giving in.
Suddenly, a Japanese soldier holding a gunpowder bag rushed into the area where the two sides were fighting with a strange scream. Boom, boom, boom... With a series of violent explosions, balls of flames and fireworks rose from the top of the city, and the remains were broken into pieces.
Blocks flew all over the sky, and the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy losses. The Japanese continued to use this method to fight back. Within a moment, there was no living person on the city top, and all the soldiers on both sides on the city wall were killed in the violent explosions. At this time,
At the same time, some Japanese soldiers poured kerosene from the hole in the city gate, soaking the city ramming vehicle that was hitting the city gate, and then threw down a torch, which fell on the city ramming vehicle that was soaked in kerosene.
, flicked upward, and the sparks immediately ignited the assault vehicle. Only a bang was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the entire assault vehicle was enveloped in flames.
Honda Tadakatsu, who was leading his army in the south to resist the fierce attack of Yanyun's army, saw what was happening on the northern city wall. He immediately followed suit and attacked Yanyun's army with gunpowder suicide squads. At the same time, he ordered people to use kerosene to burn those who were hitting the city gate.
After a round of reckless counterattacks, the Yanyun Army's offensive was finally contained.
The Yanyun army attacking the city from the north and south suffered setbacks and suffered heavy losses. The leading general immediately ordered the army to suspend the offensive adjustments and prepare to launch another fierce attack. The Yanyun army continued to attack from the west, north and south, but the Japanese seemed to
They resisted desperately like a drugged lunatic. The battle was stalemate and Yan Yun's army could not attack for a long time. Unknowingly, the sun set. Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted and there was still no hope of breaking through the city, Yang Peng ordered his troops to withdraw back to the camp.
.
The exhausted Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yan Yun's army retreating. Many of them collapsed on the spot among the blood and blood of corpses.
Musashio looked at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of him, his heart trembled uncontrollably, and unspeakable fear surged into his heart. At this time, Fujita Hiromichi came to Musashio's side, took a look at the tragic scene around him, and frowned: "
A rough calculation shows that more than 5,000 of our troops were killed in action!" Musashio's eyes twitched. Fujita Hiromichi continued: "The number of enemy soldiers killed in action is about 4,000!" Musashio was startled and looked at Fujita Hiromichi.
, said in disbelief: "The enemy is the attacking party, and the number of casualties is actually less than ours! How is this possible?!" Fujita Hiromichi sighed and said: "I don't want to believe it, but this is a fact! The Yanyun Army's
The combat power is so powerful. I have never seen such a terrifying army! It is just like the army of the devil in myths and legends!" He glanced at Musashi and said, "Musashi-kun, if I am not trying to boost the enemy's ambition, what if?
If we didn't have this city wall to rely on, we might have been completely wiped out by now!"
Musashi didn't speak. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that what Fujita Hiromichi said was right. Fujita Hiromichi said: "Based on the current situation, we can only stay for another four to five days at most. I don't know what will happen.
Can your Excellency the General's army arrive within four or five days?" Seeing Musashi frowning and saying nothing, he continued: "I think we should prepare for the worst!"
Musashio looked at Fujita Hiromichi, frowned and asked: "What is the worst plan?" Fujita Hiromichi said: "We have to consider what to do if the city cannot be defended?" Musashio frowned and said solemnly: "
We will never be unable to defend it, we must live and die with the city!" Fujita Hiromichi thought of the seriousness of Kaijing's fall, and couldn't help but feel that his side had no other choice but to defend this road. If he could not defend it, he would also
I can only die with the city, and I must not live in an ignoble way, otherwise the military law will not spare me, and the name and glory of myself and my family will be destroyed in my own hands. No matter what I think about it again: I will die if I live with the city.
His life must be saved no matter what, otherwise the Fujita family will fall.
After thinking about this, he said to Musashi: "Musashi-kun, you are right, we should live and die with the city! But the situation here must be informed by someone!" Musashi nodded, feeling that the general should be informed.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation here, he said to Hiromichi Fujita: "Immediately send a reliable person to the general to report the news!" Hiromichi Fujita felt happy, responded, and ran down.
Fujita Hiromichi summoned Fujita Mitsukata. When Fujita Mitsukazu saw his uncle, he bowed and saluted: "Uncle!" Then he said with lingering fear: "The Yanyun Army is so fierce. I have never seen such a fierce army. They are like
It’s the devil’s army! If our warriors hadn’t used gunpowder bags to attack with all their might, I’m afraid this city would have been captured by them!”
Fujita Hiromichi nodded solemnly, walked up to Fujita Mitsuaki, looked at him carefully, and said, "I have an important task for you to do!" Fujita Mitsuaki heard that there was an important task.
When he wanted to hand it over to himself, he was overjoyed and bowed and said: "Uncle, despite your orders, I will go through thick and thin without hesitation!"
Fujita Hiromichi said: "I want you to immediately select a team of trusted warriors, rush to the general, and report the situation here to the general in detail!"
Fujita Mitsu was stunned. He didn't expect that the important task his uncle mentioned was to deliver the message. He frowned and said: "Uncle, the war in Kaijing is getting intense now, and I can't leave! It's not a big deal to deliver the message, so uncle will send the message."
Let someone else do it!" Fujita Hiromichi glared and shouted: "Baga, is my order negotiable?" Fujita Mitsukawa exclaimed and lowered his head, but his expression was obviously very disapproving.
Fujita Hiromichi's expression softened and he said: "The situation here must be reported to His Majesty the General in detail. How can we just send people there casually? If the people sent can't explain clearly, wouldn't they miss a major event?" Fujita Mitsukaku
I think what my uncle said makes sense, but I still feel that there is no need to send me to do this. However, although I think so in my heart, I dare not say it out loud, for fear that my uncle will get angry again.
Fujita Hiromichi ordered: "When you see the General, you must explain our critical situation in detail. This is related to the success or failure of the overall situation, so there must be no ambiguity!" "Hi!" Fujita Hiromichi said: "Okay, I don't want anything else.
I've told you, go ahead and be safe on the road!" Fujita Mitsukata cheered and ran down. Fujita Hiromichi looked at Fujita Mitsukata's back, and a look of kindness appeared on his originally stern face.
.
In Yanyun's tent, all Yanyun generals were regretting today's battle. Hu Yanbixian said a little depressed: "We were about to break the city. I didn't expect that the Japanese would attack with all their might. As a result, our attack fell short!"
Hu Yanbixian said: "This aspect of the Japanese is admirable! Although the Japanese look wretched, they look like men!"
Yang Peng walked to the map and began to think about it. The generals stopped talking and did not dare to disturb Yang Peng. Yang Peng was thinking about whether to continue to attack Kaijing: "According to the current situation, it is really difficult to attack Kaijing in a short time."
One thing that is uncertain is that if Kaikyo fails to be captured after paying a heavy price, and Sasuro Shigeo's army arrives again, the situation will immediately reverse and become extremely unfavorable to one's own side. Even if Kaikyo is captured, if there are losses
If it is too big, things will probably not be easy to handle later on. The main force of the Japanese will probably not retreat to the south of Kaijing, and will most likely besiege Kaijing. Our army is alone in Goryeo, and reinforcements and logistical supplies are very difficult. This is
Can the isolated army withstand repeated attacks by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops? Although Yang Peng was extremely brave, he was not sure about this kind of thing.
…
One night passed, and early the next morning, the Japanese troops were ready on the city wall to prepare for the Yan Yun Army's attack. However, the Yan Yun Army did not attack all day long, not even provoking. However, the Japanese troops were on the city wall.
But from a distance, I saw a bustling scene in the Yan Yun Army's camp.
That night, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the moon and stars were sparse. Just before midnight, the lookout soldiers who were on guard at the north city gate suddenly saw a large army approaching rapidly from the north. Although the figure of the army could be seen under the moonlight,
The specific situation could not be seen at all. The sentry thought that Yan Yun's army was coming for a sneak attack. He was shocked and hurriedly sounded the alarm. Dang Dang Dang Dang...! The sound of the alarm bell suddenly rang loudly, breaking the silence of Kaijing City, and then
A large number of Japanese soldiers gathered on the north wall.
Musashio and Fujita Hiromichi also came to the north wall and looked outside the city. Sure enough, they saw an army of about 20,000 to 30,000 people heading this way. They couldn't help but feel a shiver in their hearts. Musashio said urgently: "It must be
It's the Yanyun Army who wants to make a surprise attack!" Then he ordered several senior warriors: "Transport more gunpowder and kerosene to the city wall here!" Several senior warriors responded and ran down. Fujita Hiromichi looked into the distance.
The army frowned and said: "The army came from the north without any cover-up. It doesn't look like it wants to make a sneak attack! It looks like our army!..."
Musashi's heart skipped a beat, with a look of surprise on his face, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes! It must be our army! Great, the reinforcements have arrived!" Hiromichi Fujita lowered his head in thought and said, "But the reinforcements came too fast.
Let's do it!" Musashio said angrily: "Fujita-kun, you are too suspicious! Counting from the time when the General received our initial report, there is no problem in arriving at this time as quickly as possible!" Fujita Hiromichi nodded.
nod.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the army outside the city came nearby and stopped. Under the moonlight and the light of the torches, it turned out to be a Japanese army.
Musashio laughed and said: "Haha, our reinforcements are here!" At this time, a Japanese general rode out and shouted in Japanese: "We are the troops directly under the general, and we have been ordered to come to support Kaijing.
Open the city gate quickly!"
Fujita Hiromichi felt that there was nothing suspicious about the army below, and it should be his own army. However, being cautious, he still raised his voice and asked: "You are the troops directly under the General, but I don't know which one you are?"
The general below raised his voice and said: "The hell army under our general!" The great general of the Japanese state, Sasuro Shigeo, has 120,000 troops directly under his command, the so-called "six army", which are the heaven army, the human army and the animal army.
, Asura Dao Army, Hungry Ghost Dao Army, Hell Dao Army. This 'Six Dao Army' can be said to be the most elite force of the Japanese army. Buddhism has a great influence on Japanese society. Many important nobles and royal families of the contemporary Japanese country are Buddhists.
Devout believers, so they named their most elite army after the Six Paths of Buddhism. Naming this army "Six Paths Army" also implies another layer of meaning. According to Buddhism, everything in the world cannot escape the six paths of reincarnation.
Naming the army after the destiny of the army is nothing more than hoping that this army will also dominate the destiny of all things in the world like the "Six Paths of Reincarnation".
The general below pointed to a bearded and strong general not far behind him, and said: "That is the Commander-in-Chief of our Hell Army, His Excellency Nobuo Uesugi." Fujita Hiromichi and others are not very familiar with Uesugi Nobuo, but
It wasn’t like they were strangers to each other, they had some contact with each other on a regular basis. When they recognized that Nobuo Uesugi was like that, he was completely sure of the other person’s identity.
Fujita Hiromichi nodded slightly towards Nobuo Uesugi and said in a loud voice: "Hello, Lord Uesugi! I'm very sorry. According to the previous order issued by His Excellency the General, anyone entering the pass must show the command arrow. Please show the command arrow of the General!"
Musashio felt that Fujita Hiromichi was a little unnecessary, but he was acting in accordance with the general's previous orders, so it was hard to say anything.
Nobuo Uesugi winked at the general in front, who immediately took out a command arrow and raised it high, shouting: "General, here is the command arrow!" Under the moonlight, he could faintly see a command arrow in his hand.
Fujita Hiromichi immediately ordered someone to put down the hanging basket. The general at the bottom of the city immediately stepped forward, put the command arrow into the hanging basket, and then stepped back. The hanging basket was pulled up, and a senior samurai picked up the command arrow from the hanging basket and ran
He went to Fujita Hiromichi and presented the command arrow to Fujita Hiromichi.
Fujita Hiromichi received the order arrow, carefully identified it, and confirmed that it was indeed the order arrow sent from the general's camp. Then he handed the order arrow to Musashio. Musashio did not reach out to pick it up, and said in an unhappy tone: "Fujita-kun, please open the city gate quickly.
It’s so disrespectful to lock Uesugi-kun outside the city like this!”
After hearing this, Fujita Hiromichi withdrew his command arrow and ordered to the senior samurai beside him: "Open the city gate!" The latter agreed and prepared to deliver the order.
However, at this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from outside the city, and at the same time, a familiar voice shouted loudly: "Don't open the city gate, they are Yanyun people!" Everyone on the city wall was stunned, and then they saw
There was a commotion outside the city. A knight was galloping from a distance. The hell warriors outside the city fired arrows at him. The arrows failed to reach him because they were far away. The knight quickly reined his horse and headed southeast.
He ran wildly in that direction, shouting as he ran: "Don't open the city gate, they are the Yanyun Army! Don't open the city gate!..." At this time, dozens of warriors from the Hell Army rushed out to chase the man.
The Japanese on the wall were surprised and confused. Fujita Hiromichi and Musashio looked at each other. Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said: "That voice, it seems, it seems to be Fujita Mitsuhako!?"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
