Chapter Four Hundred and Fifteen: Dare to Death Raid
"Master Quan said, now Mr. Taige is unwilling to move in, what should we do? Do we really want to defend this house-protecting city?"
After coming down from the castle tower of Honmaru, Date Masamune, Kamao Clan and other princes from the Kanto region turned their attention to the "old turtle" Tokugawa Ieyasu. There was no other way, who could call him a prince other than Toyotomi Hideyoshi?
Apart from Lord Gaku, he is the most powerful daimyo in the entire Japanese kingdom.
"Gentlemen, since Master Taige is unwilling to move in, then we have no choice but to fight to the death with the Ming army!"
What made all the Kanto princes dumbfounded was that when they were asked about their name, which was actually an act of looking for a "leader", Tokugawa Ieyasu unexpectedly said that he would fight to the death.
"Gentlemen, the infantry of the Ming Army have not yet left the main camp, and the artillery of the Ming Army outside the city is only more than 200 steps away from the city. If we launch a surprise attack with a sudden attack at this time, we will definitely destroy the artillery in one fell swoop! As long as the Ming Army can
Without artillery, we will have to fight hand to hand. At that time..."
In the surprised eyes of all the Kanto princes, the always cautious Tokugawa Ieyasu boldly proposed such a risky and radical proposal this time.
"We are willing to follow the advice of the great authority!"
Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the boss second only to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, has bowed his head, what can others do? They can only bite the bullet!
"My Tokugawa family has sent out a thousand red troops..."
Seeing that everyone agreed to his proposal, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who looked upright on the surface but was actually bleeding from the pain, then took the lead in detaching a thousand people from his most elite Ii Akabi team as a guide for the raid.
Death squads at military artillery positions.
"Since Quan Da Nayandu... my Ida family has also produced five hundred of the most elite soldiers!"
"The Pu Sheng family has five hundred elite soldiers..."
With Tokugawa Ieyasu as the "example", a group of more than 5,000 death-defying troops soon gathered together from the hands of the Kanto princes.
'Damn monkey, now you should be satisfied!'
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Honmaru, but Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
…
"Haha, the biggest characteristic of the old turtle is that he is smart! He knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. Haha, tell Mr. Quan what to say, it's accurate!"
After receiving the report that Tokugawa Ieyasu and others were preparing to launch a suicide attack on the Ming army's artillery array, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had previously looked cold and stern, finally showed a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Let Quan Zhongnanyan Maeda-kun come to see me!"
Finally, after approving the plan of Tokugawa Ieyasu and others from the Kanto princes to raid the Ming army's artillery array, Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately asked his aide to convey the message to Maeda Toshiie, who was given the title of Gonaka-Nagon.
Maeda Toshiie, apart from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was the only daimyo whose status and prestige could compete with Tokugawa Ieyasu. And because he and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were close friends, in the original history, he was appointed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the head of the "Five Elders"
, gave him the important task of guiding Toyotomi Hideyori. And before the death of 'Monkey', he was appointed as the guardian of Toyotomi Hideyori.
In this time and space, Maeda Toshiie was originally going to send troops to Korea as the second batch of troops. However, because of the death of Monkey's mother, he led the troops to stay and replaced Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu to deal with Nagoya.
The military and government affairs of the city.
It is precisely because of this that Monkey was lucky enough to avoid the situation where all the core forces were wiped out by the Ming army.
Otherwise, under the current circumstances, another 'Nagoya Incident' is not impossible.
"Maeda-kun, what do you think should be done now, war or peace?"
Facing Maeda Toshiie, who was both a vassal and a friend, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not say anything false and directly asked him about his views on the war.
"My lord, the Ming army is too powerful right now. It is not appropriate for us to fight head-on here. It is better to retreat first to avoid its sharp edge."
Instead of using the word "turn in" to persuade "monkey" like Tokugawa Ieyasu and others, Maeda Toshiie, a confidant who was nicknamed "dog" because of his zodiac sign, directly used the word "retreat".
"Oh, that's all! Maeda-kun, it's up to you to arrange the retreat. Let me just be quiet!"
There was no coldness when Tokugawa Ieyasu and other Kanto princes suggested 'transfer' before. Faced with Maeda Toshiie's straightforward 'retreat' suggestion, 'Monkey' sighed with a complicated expression and left the matter of retreat to him with confidence.
other side.
…
"Third brother, we should also be prepared. If Zhu Dingchen continues to fight, the artillery will enter the city!"
Looking at the artillerymen who were about to pull out their nails and move forward after another round of shelling, Qi Panzong couldn't help but asked for a fight again with a look of impatience.
"Okay, okay, you should each lead three thousand people as forwards to attack the city!"
The calculation was wrong and the ammunition was almost consumed. Wang Bing, who was impatient with his uncle Qi Panzong, looked at Nuer Hachi next to him who also looked expectant but did not speak, and then rushed to his side.
The man waved his hand.
"Brothers, we are attacking the city!"
With Wang Bing's permission, Qi Panzong and Nuerhachi were so excited that they waved their hands and casually ordered three thousand-man troops and three thousand Jianzhou Army that had been prepared before heading towards Nagoya Castle.
…
"The entire army obeys the order and surrounds the city on three sides. After the next round of bombardment is over, attack the city!"
After sending Qi Panzong and Nuerhachi as the siege vanguard, Wang Bing immediately issued an order for the entire army to prepare for the attack.
"It's a pity. If only there were more explosives, otherwise our artillery could take down this house guarding city! Send an order, let the brothers gather here, and give these Japanese the last round.
Cruel, hey hey hey!"
Zhu Dingchen, who was directing the artillery array to move forward again, looked at Qi Panzong and Nuerhachi who were about to come to grab the 'fruit' from him, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then concentrated all the artillery scattered on three sides.
Go to the front of this guard house.
There was no way. Although the Tiger Crouching Cannon combined with the new type of explosive ammunition was very suitable for attacking a mountain city like Nagoya, there were too few artillery shells. So Zhu Dingchen was planning to launch a bomb in this last round of bombardment.
The big scene shocked the Japanese.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
"Sakazai!!!"
Just when Zhu Dingchen had just concentrated the artillery in front of Nagoya Castle where he was, suddenly, from the ruins outside Nagoya, thousands of Japanese sergeants carrying different flags poured out.
, holding up the sharp Japanese sword in his hand, he rushed towards the main artilleryman with a fierce look on his face.
Needless to say, these people were the elite death-defying soldiers that Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Kanto princes gathered together to express their loyalty to the "Monkey".
"Damn it, you want to launch a sneak attack? Brothers, abandon your cannons, draw your swords, and form a mandarin duck formation!"
There was only a few dozen steps or so between them. At this time, it was obviously too late to lower the nail and fire the gun or to load the gun with bullets.
Fortunately, although he was an artilleryman, except for the artillery, other drills were not left behind. So in desperation, Zhu Dingchen directly ordered the artillery to be abandoned and prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with these Japanese pirates.
"Changlang..."
Following the order of Zhu Dingchen, an artilleryman from Qianhu, he threw the squatting tiger cannon in his hand on the ground. Amidst the sound of swords being unsheathed, the artillerymen just now had long knives in their hands.
