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 the situation in the Japanese country. He seemed to be naked in front of Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan saw through everything. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu treated Lu Xuan.
Nothing is known.
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 with a deep look in his eyes 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 full of curses in his heart.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu took the initiative to ask if he could win, he was already sure that he had no confidence. He had followed Tokugawa Ieyasu for more than ten years, and all the Tokugawa Ieyasu he met were calm, calm, and confident.
This time, it was a rare inquiry.
Tsukauma Kazuo was even more grateful in his heart. Thanks to having found a way out, he would be able to serve Lu Xuan in the future.
The Japanese kingdom was destroyed, but he was still there.
The Japanese kingdom has disappeared, but the Tsukaima family is still there.
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 horses, we have a strong city and are not afraid of Lu Xuan's attack. Because 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 during 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 strong mouth. So this time, he racked his brains to think about how he should deal with Lu Xuan if he pestered him again.
Tsukauma Kazuo and Tokugawa Ieyasu each had their own thoughts and looked quietly outside the city.
Not long after, we 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 upper hand.
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, and the arrangement was still the same, with no changes. The archers and catapults went first to bomb the Kyoto towers and suppress the power on the towers.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu saw this, he quickly ordered a counterattack. Kyoto's city was more stable and taller, and it was not afraid of being stoned. In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu had many archers who could shoot arrows to counterattack.
Even so, Lu Xuan's army still moved forward.
At the front were 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 charging forward. Large numbers of troops attacked. Although there were injuries from the bows and arrows, Tokugawa Ieyasu defended
The means were not very sufficient, so the Ming army quickly approached the tower.
Take a ladder and climb up.
Ladder trucks and crash trucks are onslaught.
Many soldiers sprinted along the ladders, and more soldiers used ladder trucks to attack.
The ladder is a simple ladder. The ladder is set up on the tower and you can climb up step by step. The ladder truck is different and more convenient. It is an instrument with wheels that can be pushed forward. After being fixed outside the city, use the top
The grappling hook of the ladder fixes 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 arranged a steady defense, 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 withdrew 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.
Tsukauma Kazuo found Momotani Tadashi and quickly asked: "Momotani-kun, is everything ready?"
Momotani Tadashi nodded firmly and said with urgent eyes: "Everyone is ready and can complete the task in one go."
Tsukaima Kazuo ordered: "Let's go!"
Momotani Tadashi nodded, and moved quickly with Tsukauma Kazuo, heading towards the granary. On the way, Momotani Tadashi mobilized 600 soldiers, and the other 400 guards were not mobilized, because the 600 were true direct descendants.
When a group of people arrived at the granary, Tadashi Tatani without any hesitation, directly ordered the fight.
There were not many guards in the granary, only about 200 people. They were killed by Taogu Zhong's soldiers. After a confrontation, they were killed and defeated. Tao Guzhong personally charged into the formation, killed them with a single blow, rushed into the granary, and quickly
Set on fire.
Torches were thrown on the grain.
Torches set fire to 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 out.
Tsukauma Kazuo and Momotani Tadashi no longer cared about the fighting scene, and left quickly with their people. However, Tsukauma Kazuo and his group did not evade directly, nor did they go to the tower to participate in the battle. There would be no benefit in hiding, and they would not get Lu Xuan's favor.
Appreciate.
If they went directly to the castle 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 group of soldiers guarding the Emperor's palace, Momotani Tadashi has more than 600 soldiers, all of whom are his direct descendants and the elites he trained. If these people are killed, they are enough to win in one battle.
When 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 Tsukaima 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 full of expectation.
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.
