In the morning, the weather was clear and cloudless.

It was a nice day, but there was a chilling atmosphere in the air.

Kyoto City.

In the huge city, the doors and windows of every house were closed. There were only armies composed of samurai, ronin, soldiers, and militiamen, moving in groups on the roads.

The tall and thick city wall.

A lot of materials for defending the city were piled up.

The ronin were very excited. Okubo Tadamitsu had promised that as long as they performed well in battle, the ronin could be recommended to serve under the daimyo and become their retainers.

If you are really good, you may become a retainer of Toyotomi.

This is a huge opportunity for Ronin.

And in this war, the defenders were very, very strong.

Kyoto City.

This is a Tang Dynasty-style city with outer walls. The city has a large amount of grain reserves.

The emperor and ministers all gave a certain amount of gold as a reward.

The morale of the army is very high.

Okubo Tadamitsu did not brag and showed his skills, gathering more than 21,000 people. Reinforcements from nearby daimyo were also gathering.

In the art of war, there is a saying that the time, place and people are favorable.

At present, the only thing missing in the city of Kyoto is the weather, the right location, and the right people.

How could Fuso lose this war?

In a room at the Sudai Yamen, one of Toyotomi's sixteen generals. His name was assigned to him. General Okubo Tadamitsu, wearing red armor, was sitting on a small bench, closing his eyes and meditating.

There were more than ten subordinates sitting in front of him.

Some were his retainers, and some were officials of the yamen for which they were acting.

The daimyo's retainer group and the shogunate organization were two separate systems.

"Ta-ta-ta." A burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and then a fully armed warrior rushed in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Lord Zhongguang, the vanguard of the Han army has arrived in the north of the city."

Okubo Tadamitsu opened his eyes, and the light flashed away. He stood up holding the handle of the sword at his waist and said loudly: "For the shogun's dominance."

"And for the Emperor."

"Warriors, as sons of the martial sect, give up your lives."

"yes."

The warriors stood up, bowed uniformly, and responded loudly. Immediately, Okubo Tadamitsu led the warriors out of the yamen, mounted their horses, and led the cavalry to the bottom of the north city gate, climbed the city wall, and watched the lineup of the Han army.

The cold wind howled and was biting to the bone.

On the open plain in front, there was a line of people and horses. Half of them were in order and on guard facing the city gate. Half of them were setting up camp.

The flag is "Lu".

Okubo Tadamitsu was proficient in Chinese. Although he could not speak it, he knew the character.

Lu Buwei's Lu.

The rebel of Goguryeo, Lu Liuliang?

There was a look of contempt in Okubo Tadamitsu's eyes. As a military general, his country was ruined and his family was destroyed, so he should commit seppuku. But Lu Liuliang was greedy for life and feared death, forgot his old master, and served the enemy. He was simply a shameless scum.

But soon, a solemn expression appeared on Okubo Tadamitsu's face. He sighed inwardly and said, "The Han army is really powerful."

Fusang had just experienced the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, and its folk customs were strong and strong.

The army has extremely high combat effectiveness.

But Fuso’s system. Toyotomi Shogun, Daimyo, Daimyo retainers, Toyotomi Shogun’s retainers, retainers’ retainers, soldiers.

Such an army can be put into formation, but it is indeed a mixed bag of good and bad.

Looking at the Han army outside the city, Okubo Tadamitsu seemed to see a mountain, a whole.

Two words.

Strong.

The war was imminent, so of course we couldn't boost the enemy's ambition and destroy our own prestige. Okubo Tadamitsu's heart was solemn, but he didn't show it on his face.

The Han army took Lu Liuliang as the vanguard, Wu Nian and Wang Gui as the central army.

The vanguard has already reached the city, but the Chinese army is still on the way.

Among the long queues, the flags with the character "Han" fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound. It was like a flying dragon making waves in this land of Fusang.

Under the banner.

Wu Nian is wearing armor, holding a whip, and sitting astride a horse, looking majestic. Wang Gui is side by side with him, slightly behind.

"Da da da." A cavalryman came in the opposite direction, arrived in front of Wu Nian at high speed, and reported: "Your Majesty, General Lu has arrived at the city."

"Yes." Wu Qingqing said softly. Then he said to the messenger: "Let Zhang Cai and Zhuge Xun set up camp in the east and west of the city."

"We will station troops in the north of Kyoto City and wait for the opportunity."

"Yes." The ordering soldier responded with cupped fists, urged his horse, and went down to deliver the order.

Wang Gui's expression changed, he clasped his fists and asked, "Does your Majesty want to wipe out all the armies of all the daimyo on the Kyoto plain?"

"Yeah, gather around and call for help." A refreshing smile appeared on Wu Nian's face.

Attacking the city is the last resort.

But Kyoto City must be attacked by force.

This time when they went to sea, the Han army did not bring heavy siege equipment. However, there were a large number of craftsmen who had built some siege equipment at the port.

I won’t talk about the quality, but at least it’s there.

When we arrived at Kyoto City, we first surrounded the city and left a side of the city so that the big names in Kyoto City and the surrounding areas could have a channel to communicate news.

Spend a few days building more siege equipment.

But he didn't rush to attack the city, attracting all the famous people around him and defeating them in one fell swoop.

Along the way, Wu Nian saw many castles, big, small, and tiny. If these castles of famous names were conquered one by one, it would be impossible to conquer them until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

Before Toyotomi Daikichi returns, the Han army must capture the entire Kyoto Plain.

If you surround the spot and call for reinforcements, it will be over once and for all.

Develop the Kyoto plains and confront Toyotomi Daikichi.

As for the emperor.

What an unexpected surprise.

Wu Nian originally thought that the emperor would run away, but he did not expect that he would stay in Kyoto. Since the emperor did not run away, he would not run away next.

Next, there will be no chance of escape.

The Emperor, he wants it.

Kyoto Plain, he wants it.

He also wants the castles of all the great names.

In this battle.

Wang Gui also had a smile on his face and nodded slightly. Encircling the area and calling for reinforcements was the essence of the king's guerrilla tactics.

I haven't used it for a long time. This time I landed in Fusang and used it to encircle the point and call for reinforcements.

It’s been such a long time coming.

And it’s also very suitable.

Kyoto is under siege, and the armies of the daimyo haven’t come to protect it?

hehe.

The follow-up troops of the Han army slowly arrived at Kyoto City according to the plan. They surrounded Kyoto City from three directions, leaving the south of the city as the "Shengmen".

Then, the Han army stopped moving and began to cut down trees and make siege equipment.

Three days in a row.

At the same time, Okubo Tadamitsu in the city was also doing his best to prepare military supplies for the defense of the city. He even demolished many houses for a few stones and wood.

The army even took some stone utensils from the people.

A certain amount of public dissatisfaction arose.
