The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 711 The most terrible thing
Tokugawa Hidetada waited for Yoshino for a long time but didn't see him return. He was anxious in his heart, secretly worried that something happened to him, why he didn't come back for a long time.

Could it be that he was caught in an ambush by the Ming army?But thinking that there were 3000 people brought out by Yoshino, and all of them were the elite staff of the Yoshino family, even if they were ambushed, they would not come alone.

But so far there is no evidence to prove that Yoshino had an accident, and he can't tell the conjecture, but he is secretly anxious, but he still looks confident on his face.

Suddenly another spy came to report: "We found a small unit of the Ming army in the northeast."

Tokugawa Hidetada frowned, there was no news from Yoshino, why another Ming army came, this is obviously a bit unusual.

But before he could speak, Ueno Mamoru Daimyo took the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight: "General, please let me take the warriors of the Ueno family to kill these cowardly Ming people. Our warriors of the Ueno family have no courage at all." It’s no worse than Yoshinoya’s.”

The center of Tokugawa Hideo cursed secretly, but on the face he still persuaded with good words: "Ueno defends the name, our army should not act rashly for the time being. Yoshino hasn't come back yet, so we don't know what conspiracy the Ming army is up to. I'm afraid there is some fraud in it." , we’d better sit back and wait and see what happens.”

Ueno Mamoru Daimyo didn't take it seriously and said: "Why is the general so afraid of the Ming army? If they were really capable, they wouldn't let us fight all the way here. If there is any conspiracy, I think it is some trick of harassment and peeping. If We ignored them, and the Ming people really thought that our Fusang warriors were afraid of them."

Other daimyos were also clamoring, but Tokugawa Hidetada had no choice but to remind: "In this case, please Ueno Mamoru Daimyo lead the troops to fight. But remember to be careful, don't be taken advantage of by Ming people."

Ueno Mamoru didn't take it seriously, he saluted casually, turned around and left to rectify the army.

Soon there was the sound of people shouting and neighing, and Ueno Mamoru led his men to chase down the newly appeared Ming army.

But it didn't take much effort, the southwest, northwest, due west and other directions successively found small groups of Ming's troops.

According to the report from the horse scouts, the horse scouts deployed by the Fusang Army on the periphery have all been cleared away, so it is not known what the arrangements behind these small groups of the Ming army are.

These Ming army troops appearing one after another made Tokugawa Hidetada feel more and more uneasy. He almost concluded that this was the trick used by the Ming army to lure the enemy so that he kept dividing his troops and chasing him, and finally directly attacked Huanglong for himself.

But what puzzled him was that the intelligence showed that the main force of the Ming army was still staying near the capital of King Goguryeo and had not been dispatched, so where did these Ming troops come from?
To be able to become a person who unifies Fuso, Tokugawa Hidetada's analysis and judgment skills are naturally not bad. At this time, he has vaguely realized that he has fallen into a trap that has already been set.Moreover, this trap may have been set up before he climbed the Korean peninsula, just waiting for him to fall into the trap.

After turning these thoughts in his mind for a few times, he immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "No one is allowed to fight without my order, or they will be killed without mercy!" At the same time, he issued another order , let the siege troops increase their siege efforts, and immediately change from a feint to an actual attack.

At the same time, two teams were sent out thirty li to meet the two teams of Yoshino and Ueno Shou, and if they failed to meet them, they returned immediately.

Tokugawa Hidetada realized that if the Ming army really wanted to lure him to divide his troops, then he must concentrate his forces now, and at the same time take down the North Korean capital as soon as possible, so that even if the Ming army would really surround him, he would not You can occupy the land of Wang Jing, advance and attack, retreat and defend.

Due to Tokugawa Hidetada's new order, the sound of fighting above and below Baekje King's capital became more and more intense, and the sound of rumbling artillery was also mixed in during the period.

Among them are the artillery of the Fuso people and the artillery of the Baekje defenders.Fusang people are not good at casting cannons. In addition, the domestic terrain is small, the resources are poor, and iron ore and other things are even more scarce. It is already a bit stretched to forge swords and swords, let alone forging guns and artillery.

The few artillery in their hands are basically second-hand goods bought from English businessmen, and the shells are also extremely cherished.

Therefore, it was not used at the beginning of the siege, but now Tokugawa Hidetada felt that the situation was urgent, so it came in handy.

Most of the artillery of the Three Kingdoms of Korea are obsolete goods obtained by Ming Dynasty, most of them are honest artillery such as the Tiger Crouching Cannon of the previous Ming Dynasty, and very few of them are old-style artillery eliminated by the National Defense Forces.

Of course, these were not given to them for nothing, but bought with a huge amount of real money.

Although the North Koreans are weak, they are now facing the critical moment of life and death, and they are defending the city, so everyone is fighting, the sound of killing on and off the city is loud, and the artillery fire is constantly coming and going, which seems quite intense.

Moreover, the Baekje defenders also judged from the actions of the Fusang people that it was the arrival of reinforcements, so their morale was boosted, and they became even more desperate. For a while, Tokugawa Hidetada, who wanted to quickly capture the city, had no choice.

Tokugawa Hidenaka's fierce siege, the two teams sent to support Yoshino and Ueno Mori finally rushed back.

However, there were about 5000 people when they went out, but when they came back, there were only a few hundred people left, and each of them still looked like they were running for their lives in a hurry. It was very embarrassing to throw away their helmets and armor.

"What's going on?" Tokugawa Hidetada's heart sank, and he hurriedly grabbed a general who had been brought back and asked.

"General, we are surrounded by the Ming army. There are many Ming troops, many, many. Their guns are very powerful, and their cavalry are also very powerful. Our people are all dead!"

The general yelled, with a look of lingering fear and undecided shock.

"Bageyalu, talking nonsense, you dare to confuse the army, you should be killed!" Tokugawa Hidetada shouted, and the samurai sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, and the light of the sword flashed, and the general's head fell to the ground.

"Continue to attack the city! Those who dare to coerce him will die!" Tokugawa Hidetada had already lost his demeanor at this time, waving a samurai sword with a ferocious face and shouting loudly.

Suddenly, an accompanying warrior suddenly called out: "General, what do you think is that?"

Tokugawa Hidetada turned his head suddenly, and saw a large gray wave emerging from the northeast horizon, rushing towards them in a leisurely manner.

Tokugawa Hidetada's heart sank, and he hurriedly looked in other directions. Sure enough, the same gray tide appeared in the north and northwest directions, and they were all rushing towards them.

Tokugawa Hidetada was shocked, and the most terrifying thing happened.
