In the distance, I saw a cavalry troop rushing towards the battlefield, with a dragon flag in front of them, hunting in the wind. The knight's costumes all wear lightning rods. With just one look, you can recognize that this is Jianlu.

The most important thing is that this cavalry attack is extremely fierce and has the momentum to move forward. There was dust rolling behind them, or there were too many cavalrymen. The following cavalrymen could no longer be seen clearly. They could only see cavalrymen emerging from the dust, seemingly in an endless trend.

When the Japanese general saw it, everyone else also saw it. Of course, Dorgon, who was always paying attention, noticed it immediately. He was immediately overjoyed and quickly shouted in Japanese: "The emperor's nephew is coming, and Hauge's reinforcements have arrived... …”

The fighting was fierce at the foot of Kobe City, but the current movement caused both sides of the fighting to stop.

Afterwards, the Catholic Army and Toyotomi Kunimatsu's troops suddenly realized that reinforcements had indeed arrived. They were all overjoyed and burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness. As for the Tokugawa shogunate troops, they all panicked when they saw how many Jianlu cavalry troops were coming to attack them. It was already good to be able to exert only five points of their combat effectiveness.

Since Jianlu landed in the Japanese country, his powerful fighting power has already penetrated into the hearts of the Japanese people. With so many cavalry troops coming to kill them at this time, can this battle still be fought? Now this situation surprised the Tokugawa shogunate army who originally thought they would win. Panic suddenly grew in their hearts and became more and more panicky.

In the end, it was not known that those Tokugawa shogunate troops saw the bad opportunity and started to retreat first, and then immediately caused a comprehensive avalanche of other Tokugawa shogunate troops.

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

Miyamoto Musashi watched helplessly as Dorgon was not far away from him, but he had no chance to harvest the heads again. He felt extremely unwilling in his heart, but he did not dare to go up and give away the heads, so he quickly took a few of his The disciples scrambled to retreat quickly.

Jianlu shouldn't be too familiar with this kind of war. This cavalry force quietly lowered its speed and drove the Tokugawa shogunate troops to flee for their lives. They picked off those who were behind and killed those who tried to resist. They just did not let the fleeing Tokugawa shogunate troops stop and prevent them from having any chance. A chance to breathe, not to mention a chance to reorganize the army.

As a result, the road from Kobe to Osaka became a bloody road, a road paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Those allies who were still able to survive from the Manchu Qing Dynasty forgot about their fatigue and followed behind to hunt down and pick up the leaks, grabbing some loot along the way. There is no way, they are almost dying of poverty.

Dorgon did not pursue. He looked around. Although he had won this battle, his heart was very heavy. The fighting outside the city was the most intense. Even though his men were well-equipped and extremely brave, there were too many Tokugawa shogunate troops. Of the 2,000 elite Qing soldiers brought out of the city, there were less than one person left standing in the end. There were a thousand people, and many of them were injured.

Only Dorgon himself knew that the cavalry army that suddenly appeared outside the city was not Haug's army at all, but Ying Erdai's cavalry army of about a thousand people. The reason why the noise was so loud was entirely because of a little trick. The horses of the following cavalry dragged branches, brought up more dust, and made more noise.

Generally speaking, the reason why such a desperate situation can turn defeat into victory is thanks to the fact that these captives are all veterans, and Ying Erdai is also an excellent general. He knows how to cooperate and can adopt the most correct tactics at the right 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 number of troops was what made him feel particularly heavy. With this small force, let alone the disappeared Haug, if he appeared again, there would be no way to subdue him. Even the allies of the Japanese country, not many people are in awe of them anymore. Even if the Tokugawa shogunate army is defeated and the Japanese country is occupied, it is hard to say who will have the final say at that time.

Thinking like this, Dorgon immediately came up with a countermeasure, which could at least slow down the situation.

So, he called a close subordinate, whispered a few instructions, and asked him to hurry up and get things done.

At this time, Osaka Castle was full of wounded soldiers and old and weak soldiers, and other troops were taken to Kobe to grab the credit. It was too cold on the top of the city, so everyone huddled in the shelter to keep warm while daydreaming.

"You think Kobe should be conquered by now, right?"

"It should be defeated. Those enemies, that is, the Jianlu are just stronger, but you should see that they were completely demoralized by Duduo. They are all wilted. Even if they have fighting power, they can't display it. This One thing, I can guarantee as a veteran of many battles that my eyes are very poisonous."

"That's not entirely true. Hauge's army was sunk by us at the bottom of the sea. This is the root cause of Jianlu's despair!"

"Actually, you don't know. It's true that the Jianlu from the Four Kingdoms were beaten to the point where they were left with nothing but cartilage, but there is no trace of Hauge. This is false."

"..."

Most of the people were chatting and talking, and they didn't shy away from anything. Many even raised their voices a little, deliberately speaking to Duduo.

At the beginning, Duduo had a look of shame on his face, especially when he heard comments about him from men who said he was weak and eggless. But later on, he seemed to let go, and when faced with this situation, he responded with a flattering smile.

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

"Haha, could it be that the messenger reporting victory has arrived?" Someone guessed and looked outside.

However, some people felt something was wrong. They stood up to watch and said their own opinions: "The sound of horse hooves seems to be a bit too much. Do we need so many people to come back to report the victory?"

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

It is true that someone is back, and it is their people, but they are not coming one or two, but sparsely, group after group. Looking at them, it seems that there are tigers chasing behind them, and they are Trying to run away.

"Defeated?" That was the first thought of the people on the top of the city, but then they came back to their senses and immediately denied the idea. How can it be? All the elite troops here have been sent out to pursue the enemies who have lost their morale and are deeply hit. How could they be defeated? The number of troops is several times greater than that of the opponent!

However, the fact is the fact, especially those who escaped on horseback were naturally generals in the Tokugawa shogunate army.

In just a moment, Osaka immediately jumped up and down. Everyone is panicking. Only the old and the weak are left in Kobe. The front line is defeated. How can Kobe be defended?

When they saw dust flying in the distance at the top of the city and the dragon flag of Jianlu was looming, the Japanese in Osaka City could no longer bear it. They took their belongings with them and evacuated by sea or by land to Nagoya. . Some Japanese even lit Osaka on fire before leaving.

Duduo was under house arrest in a house and was a little confused when he heard the chaotic noise outside. But soon someone came and forcibly took him away. In the process, when he figured out what was going on, he suddenly felt extremely complicated.

However, it’s already like this, so what other ideas can there be!

There were not many captives, the excited Catholic army, and Toyotomi Kunimatsu's soldiers. When these people arrived in Osaka, the place 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 would now stand here again as winners. Osaka, which has been unable to be conquered by force, will be nothing more than ruins.

When it was getting dark, Dorgon finally arrived here with his troops. At this time, all the leaders of the allies treated Dorgon with the utmost respect, no longer as disrespectful as before in Kobe.

Dorgon seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness. With a smile, he comforted them and said some words of encouragement before they took a rest.

Although they were victors, they were all exhausted.

However, while everyone else had rested, Dorgon's central military tent was still lit by candlelight. Ying Erdai, the greatest contributor to this war, asked Dorgon for instructions with concern: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Without the outsiders, Dorgon also looked sad and frowned. He did not answer his questions, but stared at the map of the Japanese country and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed and asked to himself: "Hauge, where are you going?"

When Ying Erdai heard it, he immediately understood what he meant. Now, the military strength in Hauge's hands has become the key to the Qing Dynasty's decision on its next move. However, Ying Erdai was also confused. Where did Haug go?

They didn't know, but some people quickly knew where Haug had gone.

Nagoya, this is a place heavily guarded by the Tokugawa shogunate army. When the news of the good news from Shikoku passed by, they submitted a letter of challenge to the Tokugawa family. However, they did not wait for a reply. They felt very sorry. It was estimated that the Osaka army and the rebels in Osaka would be defeated by the Osaka army and the Edo army. Is it settled?

However, their regret did not last long, because Osaka's defeated troops came over.

At this time, all the Japanese in Nagoya were in disbelief and looked at the retreating people like pig heads.

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

"There are so many of you and you have all the advantages. How could you lose?"

"Hauge's army raided. Are you saying that Hauge's army was hiding in Kobe? They cooperated internally and externally, and raided at the critical moment, so you were defeated?"

"..."

Although it is a bit unacceptable, it is also true that all the defeated troops have fled back, which is unacceptable anymore. So, people in Nagoya immediately started writing a memorial, flying it to Edo so that Tokugawa Iemitsu would know about it.

However, before they sent a messenger, some people also fled from the north, bringing news that they could not accept even more.

"What, Edo was attacked and flames shot into the sky?"

"Where is the General? Didn't you escape? How could this happen?"

"Is it Haug's army, coming from the sea? This is impossible! Didn't Kobe also say Hauge's army? What's going on? Is it possible that there are two Haugs in Jianlu?"

"..."

Everyone was confused and didn't know what the situation was like now.

Originally, the people from Edo would have reported back more quickly, but when the Hog army attacked the city at night, they surrounded the city and killed everyone they saw. Although the Japanese living outside the city saw the flames of Edo Castle soaring into the sky, , but I don’t know what happened, but it took a lot of time. After the situation was understood during the day, someone came to report the news.

On the Nagoya side, the defeated troops who escaped from Osaka swore that they would be defeated only if the Haug army appeared in Kobe and charged with thousands of troops.

On the Edo side, they insisted that it was the Haug army who had carried out a sneak attack at night and massacred Edo. The general, in all likelihood, fell into the hands of 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. It was only after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan that he started to build it again. But the scale, including city defense, will naturally not be very good. After Jianlu landed in Honshu and started burning, killing and looting everywhere, for the safety of the emperor and other Japanese nobles, Tokugawa Iemitsu had already taken them all to Edo.

When someone asked the question about the Emperor, someone immediately responded: "Shogun may be in trouble, how can the Emperor escape?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. It was bad!

They had all witnessed Jianlu's bestiality with their own eyes. And the current emperor is a female emperor who is only twelve years old!

In the end, no matter where Hauge really is, it is always true that Edo was attacked. King Qin's affairs must be done, even if it is too late, there is always a pretense.

A lot of time has been wasted for this quarrel. Next, there was a dispute over the distribution of troops.

Some people said that since he was King Qin, he would naturally bring more troops; but some people said that if all the troops were taken away, what would happen if the Jianlu from Osaka came to kill them? Do you still want Nagoya? If Nagoya falls, who will take responsibility?

They fought back and forth and wasted a lot of time. Finally, the scout reported back that the Jianlu in Osaka had disappeared and seemed to have withdrawn. The two factions with different opinions finally decided to dispatch most of their troops to rescue Edo.

But before they had time to set off, Haug led the army and fought back with high morale.

According to Hauge's own opinion, he must still be happy in Edo at this time, but he is reminded by the rich and powerful around him.

In particular, Qian Fugui told Hauge: "Now that Edo has been conquered, for such a big thing, if the master doesn't go back, wouldn't it be equivalent to walking at night in Jinyi? Moreover, this is the capital of the Japanese country, and there are many Japanese troops in the north. There will definitely be We came to the rescue after hearing the news. If we don’t go back and join together, we may be in danger if we are alone outside!"

For these two reasons, Hauge was allowed to lead the army south.
