1274 Where is the Emperor?

In the distance, a cavalry was indeed coming to the battlefield, taking the lead in a dragon flag, flew in the wind. The knights were all wearing lightning rods. Just one look, you could recognize that this was Jianlu.

The most important thing is that this cavalry has an extremely fierce attack and has a strong momentum of moving forward. Behind it is dust rolling or there are too many cavalrymen, so the subsequent cavalry can no longer see clearly. Only the cavalry continues to emerge from the dust, which seems to have endless trends.

While the Japanese general saw this, the others also saw it. Of course, Dorgon, who was always paying attention, noticed it at the first time. He was immediately overjoyed and quickly shouted in Japanese: "The princess is here to kill him, Haoge's reinforcements have arrived..."

The battle was fiercely killed at Kobe City, but the current movement made both sides stop.

Then, the Catholic army and Toyotomi Kyomoto immediately realized that reinforcements had indeed arrived. They were all overjoyed and suddenly burst out with strong combat power. The Tokugawa shogunate army, as many Jianlu cavalry soldiers came over, were suddenly panicked. It was good that they could exert a 5-point combat power.

Since Jianlu landed in Japan, his strong combat power has already penetrated into the hearts of the Japanese. So many cavalrymen came to fight at this time, can this battle be fought? The current situation has surprised the Tokugawa Shogunate, who originally thought he had won, and panic suddenly grew from their hearts, and became more and more panic.

In the end, I don’t know whether it was the Tokugawa shogunate army who saw the opportunity was not good and first began to retreat, which immediately caused a complete avalanche of other Tokugawa shogunate army.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain falling, but it is nothing more than this!

Miyamoto Musashi watched Dorgon not far from him, but he had no chance to harvest the heads. He felt extremely unwilling to go up and give up the heads. He quickly took his several disciples and rushed to retreat.

The Jianlu should not be too familiar with this kind of war. This cavalry army quietly reduced its speed a little, and drove the Tokugawa Shogunate to escape, picking up the backward killing, and picking the killing that they wanted to resist, which was to prevent the escaped Tokugawa Shogunate from stopping, not giving them a chance to breathe, and not giving them a chance to reorganize their troops.

So, on the way from Kobe to Osaka, it became a bloody road, a road paved with corpses and seas of blood. Those alliances with the remnants of the Qing Dynasty who had the strength forgot their fatigue, followed behind to chase and pick up bargains, and rob some spoils. There was no way, they were almost exhausted.

Dorgon did not pursue him. He looked around. Although this battle was won, he was in a heavy mood. He went out of the city to fight the most intensely. Even though his subordinates were well-equipped and extremely brave, there were too many Tokugawa Shogunate troops after all. The two thousand elite soldiers who brought out the city could still stand in the end. It was estimated that there were less than a thousand people, and many of them were injured.

Only Dorgon himself knew that the cavalry that suddenly appeared outside the city was actually not Haoge's army at all, but the cavalry of about a thousand people in Ying'erd. The reason why the movement was so big was because of a trick. The subsequent cavalry's war horses dragged the branches, brought up more dust and created greater movement.

Generally speaking, the war of rebirth in desperate situations and turning defeat into victory is also due to the veterans of these Jianlu, Ying'erdai is also an excellent general. He knows how to cooperate and can use the most correct tactics in time on the battlefield. However, after this battle, Dorgon estimated that it would be good to have 1,500 Qing troops in his hands.

Such a small amount of troops is the reason why he feels extremely heavy. If the disappearing Haoge appears again, he will not be able to suppress him. Even the allies of Japan will not be in awe. Even if they defeated the Tokugawa Shogunate Army and occupied the Japanese state, it is hard to say who has the final say.

Thinking of this, Dorgon immediately had a solution to at least slow down this situation.

So he called a trusted subordinate, whispered a few instructions, and asked him to do business as soon as possible.

At this time, Osaka Castle was full of wounded soldiers and old people, and other troops were taken to Kobe to grab credit. The city was too cold, and they all hurried in the shelter to keep warm while daydreaming.

"You said, Kobe should be defeated now, right?"

"It should be defeated. Those enemies, namely Jianlu, are stronger, but you should see that they were completely dissatisfied by Naduoduo, and they were all depressed. Even if they had combat power, they could not play out. In this regard, I can guarantee that my eyes were very poisonous as a veteran of the Hundred Wars."

"Not all, Haoge's army was sunk to the bottom of the sea by us. This is the fundamental reason why Jianlu despaired!"

"Actually, you don't know that it's true that we beat Jianlu from the Four Kingdoms to the point where only the cartilage is left, but Haoge hasn't seen the shadow, this is fake."

“…”

Most of the people were chatting and talking, and they didn't avoid anything. Many people even loudered their voices and deliberately said it to Duoduo.

At the beginning, Duoduo had a look of shame on his face, especially when he heard the man who said he was a cartilage and had no eggs to comment on his words. But later, he seemed to let go, and when he encountered this situation, he squeezed out a smile and responded with a flattering smile.

I don’t know when, suddenly there seemed to be a sound of horse hooves outside the city.

"Haha, could it be that the messenger who received the victory has arrived?" Someone guessed and looked out.

However, some people felt something was wrong. They stood up and looked at it, while saying their opinions: "The sound of horse hooves seems to be a bit loud. Do so many people need to come back to report the victory?"

No matter what they thought, when they saw the movement outside the city, they were stunned.

It was indeed someone who came back, but it was theirs, but not one or two, but sparsely, one group after another. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that there were tigers chasing behind them, and they were running away desperately.

"Break?" The first thought of the people on the city was like this, but then they came back to their senses and immediately denied the idea. How could it be? The elite troops here have already emerged, just pursuing those enemies who have no morale and are deeply hit. How could they be defeated? The troops are several times more powerful than the opponent!

However, the facts are facts, especially those who escaped back on horseback, naturally they were generals in the Tokugawa Shogunate Army.

In just a short while, Osaka immediately jumped up. Everyone was panicked, only the old and weak were left in Kobe, and the front line was defeated. How could Kobe defend?

When they saw dust flying in the distance and the dragon flag of Jianlu was vaguely visible, the Japanese in Osaka Castle could no longer help and took their belongings, either withdrew from sea or fled to Nagoya by land. Some Japanese even lit fires before leaving.

Duoduo was placed under house arrest in a house. When he heard the chaotic movement outside, he was a little confused. However, someone soon came to force him away. During the process, when he figured out what was going on, his mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

However, it's already like this, and you can't have any other ideas!

There were not many Jianlu, the excited Catholic army, and the soldiers under Toyotomi Komoto, when these people arrived in Osaka, it was already a sea of ​​fire.

But even so, they were still very excited. They never expected that when they fled from here in a hurry a few days ago, they were now standing here as winners. Osaka, which has been unable to be conquered, will be just ruins.

When it was getting dark, Dorgon led his troops to finally arrive here. At this time, all the leaders of allies were respectful to Dorgon and no longer had the previous exits in Kobe.

Dorgon seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness before, and with a smile, he comforted them, said something to boost morale, and then he rested on his own.

Although they are winners, they are all exhausted.

However, everyone else had rested, but Dorgon's central army tent was still lit. The biggest contributor to the war, Ying'erdai asked Dorgon for advice with concern: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Without outsiders, Dorgon also looked worried and frowned. He did not answer his question, but stared at the map of Japan and said nothing for a long time.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed and asked to himself, "Haoge, where will he go?"

When Ying'erdai heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. Now, the troops in Haoge's hands became the key to the Qing Dynasty's decision on the next move. However, Ying'erdai was also confused. Where did Haoge go?

They didn't know, but some people soon knew where Hauge was going.

Nagoya, this is the place where the Tokugawa Shogunate Army is heavily guarded. When the Shikoku News passed here, they asked Tokugawa Ie-Kiang, but they didn't wait for a reply. They felt very sorry. I guess the Kenlu and those rebels in Osaka will be put down by the Osaka Army and the Edo Army?

However, their regret did not last long because the defeated soldiers from Osaka ran over.

At this moment, all the Japanese in Nagoya were unbelievable, looking at the retreating people like pig heads.

"What? You actually lost? How is this possible?"

"How could you lose with so many of you? "

"Haoge's army raids, do you mean that Haoge's army is hiding in Kobe? If you cooperate with the inside and outside, you will be defeated at the critical moment?"

“…”

Although it was a bit unacceptable, the defeated army fled back and could not accept it anymore. This is also a fact. So, in Nagoya, he immediately started writing memorials and wanted to fly to Edo and report to Tokugawa Iemitsu to know.

However, they had not sent a messenger yet, and some people fled from the north, bringing a message that they were even more unacceptable.

"What, Edo is attacked and the flames soar into the sky?"

"Where is General? Didn't escape? Why is this happening?"

"It's Haoge's army, from the sea? This is impossible! Isn't Kobe also talking about Haoge's army? What's going on? Could it be that Jianlu has two Haoge?"

“…”

Everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on now.

Originally, the people from Edo would have reported it faster, but when the Haoge army attacked the city at night, they surrounded the city and killed people when they saw people. Although the Japanese living outside the city saw the flames in Edo Castle soaring into the sky, they didn't know what was going on, so they delayed a lot of effort. After they figured out the situation during the day, someone came to report the news.

In Nagoya, the defeated army who escaped from Osaka swears that the Haoge army appeared in Kobe and that thousands of troops would charge forward, and they would be defeated.

On the Edo side, it insisted that it was the Haoge army, which had attacked Edo at night, and had already slaughtered Edo. The general was almost in the hands of the Jianlu.

At this time, someone interrupted and asked, "Where is the Emperor?"

The emperor of Japan originally lived in Kyoto, but Kyoto was destroyed by the war, and it was only after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan that he started to build again. But the scale, including the city defense, would naturally not be very good. After the Jianlu landed in Honshu, he began to burn, kill and loot everywhere, based on the security considerations of the emperor and other Japanese nobles, Tokugawa Iemitsu, I have already taken them all to Edo.

When he heard someone ask the Emperor, someone immediately responded: "A general may be unexpected, can the Emperor run away?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked and broken!

They have witnessed Jianlu’s beastly nature with their own eyes. And the current emperor is the twelve-year-old female emperor!

In the end, no matter where Haoge is, Edo is attacked, it is always true that the matter of serving the king must be done. Even if it is too late, there must be always a way to behave.

A lot of time has been delayed after a fight. Then, there was a dispute over the distribution of troops.

Some say that since you are the king, you will naturally have to bring more troops; but some say that if you take away all your troops, what should you do if the Jianlu from Osaka come here? Do you still want Nagoya? If Nagoya is lost, who will resist this responsibility?

After arguing, it took a lot of time. In the end, the scouts returned, saying that the Kengai in Osaka disappeared and seemed to have retreated. The two factions with different opinions finally decided to mobilize most of the troops to rescue Edo.

But before they could set off, Hauge led the army and fought back with high morale.

If Haoge's own opinion is right, he will definitely be happy in Edo at this time, but he has the money and wealth around him to remind him.

In particular, Qian Fugui told Haoge: "Edo has been captured now. If the master doesn't go back, wouldn't it be like a night trip in Jinyi? Moreover, this is the capital of Japan, and there are many Japanese troops in the north, and they will definitely come to rescue after hearing the news. If we don't go back and meet up and are alone, we will probably be in danger!"

For these two reasons, Hauge led the army southward.
