1273 Die to live
Although the emperor of Japan had no real power in this era, he was at least the nominal master of Japan. Now the city is so chaotic, there are all kinds of possibilities.
When Haoge received Qian Fugui's reminder, he immediately told the guard that he had just gone to the city again.
When the guard heard this, he was happy. He withdrew his dissatisfaction and rushed to the city immediately. If there was any change, he would be happy again.
At the same time, another war was carried out earlier than the Edo Battle. However, Emperor Chongzhen had no spies, so he didn't know.
It was in Kobe Castle not far from Osaka, and the Tokugawa Shogunate was surrounded by the Tokugawa Shogunate, which was launching a fierce attack. At this time, the Edo army of the Shiguo had already responded to Honshu, and together with the Osaka's troops, took advantage of the heavy blow to the morale of the Kenlu and the rebellious ones, and wanted to get a bargain.
Before, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty coalition forces never expected that they would hide in the city for one day. Therefore, after breaking through Kobe, they did not work hard to build the damaged city walls of Kobe.
Now, the situation is not optimistic about the remnants of the Qing Dynasty hiding in this broken Kobe.
The defending side was pessimistic, but they were instinctively resisting the enemy's attack. The soldiers who were not on the city were leaning against the shelter of the streets and alleys in the city, shrinking into a ball, each of them was full of despair.
Finally, after repelling an attack from the shogunate outside the city, the leaders of the Catholic army and the leaders of Toyotomi Komoto rushed to Dorgon's camp and started to make trouble.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, our people have suffered heavy losses and can't stop them. Should we send you Qing warriors to the scene?"
This is accusing Dorgon of running back to Kobe and letting the allies defend the city, while the two thousand Qing troops in his hand were shrunk into the city and did not go to the city wall to defend.
"How can we fight this battle? We are all from farmers, but we are still fighting to the death here. Didn't you Qing warriors usually brag so much? Why did Prince Yu surrender to the shogunate? Why did your Qing army escape again when he retreated from Osaka?"
The leader accused that when he was withdrawing from Osaka, the army was completely devoured. But they did not expect that a Qing general led about a thousand cavalry and even left their emperor. With the speed of the horse, he ran away and did not come to Kobe at all.
The Qing Dynasty, which they had always relied on as their backbone, had such incidents happened one after another, which had hit them deeply. If the shogunate army had not chased after them, they would have had a stir inside.
At this time, Dorgon, or the Qing army, had already plummeted in the minds of these allies. Otherwise, they would not dare to cause trouble in front of Dorgon.
As the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon was in a very bad mood when he encountered this series of things. However, he still smiled on his face to comfort these allies and said, "If you persist, I am trying to find a way to defeat the enemy."
Who would believe his words? The number of shogunate troops outside the city is at least twice as many as that in the city. Now that the people in the city are panic and have no morale, it will be even more difficult to fight. If this broken wall could be put down, it would probably be wiped out as long as one field battle is over.
"What can you think of a divine weapon from heaven? Just the two thousand infantry troops of the Qing Dynasty can defeat so many troops outside the city?"
"Yes, your Qing army is actually just a silver spear and candle head. I didn't expect that even the prince could be a soft boy, and there are still two thousand people left to be useless!"
"Don't find a reason, just be more important. If you want to die, everyone will die together. You have to do your best. We have been guarding the city for a day. Why should you go up to the city wall?
“…”
These people became angry, and didn't even have basic politeness, and they just went "you, you" to get on.
When Dorgon saw these people, he didn't want to listen to him at all, and the smile he squeezed out disappeared. He was in a bad mood. Since he was shameless, don't blame yourself.
Thinking of this, Dorgon had a cold face and emphasized loudly: "I said that I will defeat the enemy outside the city."
After saying that, he immediately issued an order, "Come on, please invite them all!"
His guards had long been very annoyed by the rudeness of these short men. When they heard the order, they immediately rushed up and looked down at the leaders, holding the handle of the knife with their hands and facing each other. It seemed that if one of them was not dealing with them, they would draw their swords and slash over them.
Faced with the strength of these Jianlu, these Japanese allies did not suffer the loss in front of them, and could only withstand the sound of resignation.
However, when they were about to go out, they heard Dorgon's voice coming from behind, and his tone was cold: "If the city is broken, everyone will die together. In this situation, the enemy outside the city realizes that the overall situation is in control and will not truly accept your avatars. And if the enemy outside the city can accept your surrender, then Tokugawa Iemitsu will not accept your surrender. Don't forget, the Kyushu and Honshu are now, and Tokugawa Iemitsu will never spare you."
When these leaders heard this, they couldn't help but curse themselves in their hearts. It wasn't you, the group of Jianli, taking the lead in killing unscrupulously. Now, we have to bear all these sins?
Even though I think so, these leaders were still a little helpless in the end and had to admit that the Qing emperor made some sense.
So what else can I do now? It’s better to live one more day!
After these people left, Dorgon looked up at the sky outside and said to himself: "I have to hold on for one more night, there should be no problem."
After saying that, he frowned again and couldn't help but think, "Where has Haoge been? Could it be that he was going back to Jiuzhou, but if he returned to Jiuzhou, it would be a dead place. What's the use?"
He inferred from the reaction of the Japanese on the top of the city that Haoge's army should not be over. Otherwise, thousands of people and huge fleets would be in the strait, and would not be sunk by the Japanese navy in the bottom of the sea quietly and silently.
He couldn't figure it out, and finally Dorgon sighed and stopped thinking about it.
The current situation is already very bad for the Qing Dynasty. If Dorgon had the confidence to conquer the Japanese Kingdom a year ago and finally took it for himself, he no longer had this idea.
Alas, no matter what, let’s talk about it tonight first!
Night soon fell. That night, Dorgon did not dare to sleep, so he sent his personal guards to patrol the city walls, urging the allies to be vigilant and guard against each other.
The shogunate outside the castle really wanted to take advantage of the night to protect the nightmare and not give the city's Kenshou and rebels the opportunity to regain morale. They harass, attack, steal the city, and use all kinds of means to try to take down Kobe as soon as possible, wipe out the largest rebellion since the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and make a huge contribution.
Although there were several times when the Tokugawa Shogunate almost succeeded, and even once, they had already attacked the city. However, Dorgon sent Jianlu troops in time, killing all those in the gap, and then drove the Tokugawa Shogunate again.
When dawn came, the Tokugawa shogunate army, who had been struggling all night, finally retreated. Those who participated in the siege at night were preparing to rest, while those who were taking shifts during the day were already burning fire and preparing to start the daytime attack. Anyway, just one sentence, the Kanlu and those rebels in the city had no chance to breathe.
The Tokugawa shogunate troops outside the city had already seen the dawn of victory. Because they could feel from the battle that the rebellion in the city had really reached the end of their strength and should have collapsed soon.
The first attack in the morning was about to begin, but Dorgon in the city turned out to be absurd. He actually put on his armor and helmet, leading his two thousand Jianlu in a formation in the square in the city.
When the allies heard this, they rushed over and collapsed one by one, and they started to make trouble again while crying.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you cannot abandon us!"
"Yes, if you break through, how can we defend?"
“…”
Some people even quit and just slandered and cursed directly.
"As a matter of fact, they are all a group of guys. Those who surrender surrender, those who escape, and those who escape, choose you as allies, are really blind!"
"If I had known that your Qing Dynasty was like this, I would not have been a ally with you at the beginning!"
“…”
Faced with the ugly faces of these short and slutty men, Dorgon felt very disgusted. However, on the surface, he shouted seriously and loudly: "Where do you want to go?"
This shout immediately shocked the ally leaders.
Seeing this, Dorgon calmed down his tone a little, but said seriously: "I have already made a brilliant plan. Early this morning, the enemy will attack. If you guard the city, I will lead the army to fight in person..."
As soon as he made his plan, the Japanese leaders looked at each other one by one. They really didn't expect that Dorgon would have such an arrangement. If this is the case, it might be possible to turn defeat into victory!
But some people couldn't figure it out and simply asked: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, since you have made such a brilliant plan, why didn't you tell us yesterday, which made us worry for a whole day?"
After hearing this, Dorgon thought to himself, if you tell you that when you were guarding the city, what if you were not right and were noticed by the enemy outside the city, what if you were prepared? Moreover, he actually wanted to waste another day of the enemy outside the city's spirit, but he also saw that Kobe could not guard tomorrow.
He thought so in his heart, but he said, "This is the only chance we can turn defeat into victory. I have to act cautiously. You guys, you should care more about winning, right? In this way, you don't have to worry about anything else!"
These leaders thought about it, and they all went back happily.
Outside the city, the sound of war drums sounded again, and the Tokugawa Shogunate Army began a new attack again.
This time, Miyamoto Musashi took his disciples and hid among the strokes behind him and had to participate in the siege together. There was no way, he had not completed the task assigned by Tokugawa Iemitsu. Now, he could only rely on hopes to sneak into the city and cut off Dorgon's head to get rid of his merits, and even rewards might not be necessary.
The reason why he chose to attack the city was that he felt that there was no morale in the city and was harassed overnight. Therefore, there was a high possibility of attacking the city once.
However, when the war broke out, he felt something was wrong. He felt that the rebellion guarding the city was like a chicken blood, at least more intense than yesterday's resistance. This battle was so dark that the sky was dark and the corpses were everywhere.
However, after all, the Tokugawa Shogunate Army was resting well and had high morale. The rebellion on the city was gradually unable to resist, and several gaps in the city wall had been broken through.
As a result, the troops outside the city became in chaos, and they all wanted to take the first prize, so they rushed to the gaps.
When Miyamoto Musashi was about to take his apprentice over, he suddenly found a stream of smoke coming out of the city, very thick, like that rising to the sky.
As a result, he was surprised that Bingfeng had just tore open a hole in the Kobe wall, why did such a large amount of smoke come out of the city?
He was thinking, but suddenly heard a movement. He turned to look and saw the gate of Kobe open. Teams of Jianlu were full of armor and rushed out of the city. He attacked along the flanks of the siege troops.
In addition, Miyamoto Musashi also saw that there was the banner of Emperor Jianlu in the middle of the Jianlu.
"Bag, what's going on?" Miyamoto Musashi was a little confused.
If the city cannot be defended, it will not look like breaking through, attacking the flanks of the siege army instead of killing out. But if you want to rescue the siege, the emperor should not have to come out to fight in person, which is too dangerous!
What's going on? I don't understand!
The Tokugawa shogunate army was caught off guard, especially when the flanks were attacked, and the troops were immediately defeated. The siege troops were defeated by these two thousand Jianlu.
However, thanks to the Tokugawa Shogunate Army having enough troops, the Japanese generals commanding from afar immediately sent out the remaining troops to besiege this Jianlu army. As long as this Jianlu army could be eliminated, it would be less important to capture Kobe.
Although Miyamoto Musashi hadn't figured it out yet, he didn't care. It was important to steal the head, but it was money, a good thing that could make Tokugawa's family happy.
There was chaos in Kobe, with fighting everywhere on the city and outside the city.
Even if the Jianlu army directly under Dorgon was brave, they were just humans. After exhausting their physical strength, they became the last of their strength. Even if they were well-equipped, a large number of casualties began to occur under the siege of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army.
Looking at these, the shogunate generals in the distance couldn't help but laugh, and they achieved success in one battle!
After this battle, it would be best to capture the Qing emperor Dorgon alive, then tie a rope around his neck, and then take it back to Edo to present it to the general. I guess the general will be very happy!
He thought about this and couldn't help but laugh. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard something from behind, as if a cavalry was coming. He was a little curious, and when he turned around, he was stunned.
Chapter completed!
