Chapter 656: The Dust Sweeping Plan to Sweep the Japanese Island (66)
:.
The Osaka vassal soldiers, who had been tortured by the North Korean fleet, had no intention of resisting desperately after they had truly seen the North Korean army rushing to the shore of Shanghai, and had no intention of dying resistance, and also forgot the so-called scorched earth policy advocated by the Tokugawa Shogunate that never left anything useful to the North Korean army. They fled before they had a decent confrontation with the North Korean army.
With the loss of Osaka Castle on December 4, all the efforts of Itagaki Tuisuke's past are suddenly gone.
Seeing that he had fallen into a large encirclement of the Korean army, Kansai and the Kyoto family were like frightened birds. Whether it was Ise, Kii, Shima, Sayama and other vassal troops who were already gathering on Himeji, who were preparing to counterattack the Korean army, or Ome and Iga corps who were confronting the Korean army on the eastern front, even the right enemy of Himeji, were dominated by the mentality of being able to get warmth by only being in a group. They no longer had any resistance or counterattack, and they began to flock around Kyoto where Itagaki Tuisuke was in charge of
The so-called Matsue defense line in Osaka was completely collapsed, and more than 100,000 frightened rabbit-like soldiers from various vassals and guards from the right guards of the island, huddled into a group around Kyoto.
But Itagaki Tuisuke was unwilling to admit his failure
Since December 6, Itagaki Tsuichiko threatened and begged to urge the daimyos who shook trembling around him one after another from Kyoto to the outside.
The strategy he adopted was to defend against the three directions of the north, east and west, and to firmly withstand the offensive momentum of the Korean army. In the south, he concentrated part of the Third Guard Corps of the Right Guard of the Island and the Sanmei-fan Army, who still dared to take the initiative to fight in front of him at this critical moment, and counterattacked Osaka Itagaki Tomosuke not only wanted to quickly regain Osaka Castle, but also tried to completely eat the South Road Korean Army that had just landed in order to reverse the unfavorable danger of being attacked from all sides in front of him.
However, no matter how high itagaki Shisuke's heart is, what the subsequent facts left to him can only be a vain sigh
The various Tufan legions of the North East and West Routes actually left Kyoto. However, what they played with after leaving was a trick of shrinking and not working hard.
To the north, the Korean army entering Wakasa was still moving south smoothly
The Korean army, who had already broken through the gates in the east, not only took advantage of Ome and Iga's escape to seize Mikami, and left the army houses, the kitchen and Koga, but also swept through Mino and Mino Nagoya.
The Korean army, who was in hand in the west, actually took Hyogo Castle again
As for the southern line where people really worked and worked hard, the scene that happened was a terrible one.
On the afternoon of December 7, before seeing the appearance of Osaka Castle, the Second Division of the Third Guards plunged into the large pocket formation set up by the Korean army in advance. In less than half a day, the 8,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Division were completely wiped out.
The Sangming Legion, who was only one step later than the Guards and was personally led by Matsupei Ding-Kei Daime, was originally a very capable Sangming Legion in the Kansai Army, but now he has the energy to use it.
After watching the eight thousand compatriots of the Guards being eaten by the Chao army in one bite, they hurriedly retreated into the Yodoicun City. They wanted to defend this small town that was only more than twenty miles away from Kyoto, but on the evening of December 9, his army put a sheep in front of the Chao army who came here. If it weren't for their quick response and great skill, even the Chao Pingdingjing would have almost become the sword ghost of the Chao army.
But the only division under his command who could fight was buried in the city behind him, along with the one who had the loudest breasts before leaving Kyoto, who had slapped the most with the word "tick" and shouted the most.
On December 10, the Tufan Legions that were finally bombed out by Itagaki's help, one after another, shrank again and again around him.
In just four days, the faces of all the Tou-father daimyos who appeared in front of Itagaki Tuisuke were all forty years of vicissitudes.
Look at the teams they followed, each of them was shorter.
Although many daimyos are not as unlucky as Matsuhei Denki, the large number of soldiers' escape has become a common fatal injury.
It's over, it's completely finished
At this time, Itagaki Shisuke no longer had any fantasies
He knew the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate. Under the current circumstances, if he still hoped that the shogunate could send troops to the west to assist him, it would be a beautiful dream.
What if we rely on the less than 100,000 soldiers in front of us to continue to tangle with the Korean army?
The conclusion is also very simple. Even the Daming of the Tufan who had been scared by the Korean army was willing to continue fighting with him. In less than a month, even if the less than 100,000 troops were not eaten by the Korean army, they would eventually starve to death.
Therefore, as the Korean army pressed forward step by step, Irangaki Shisuke, who felt that there was no way out and no way to enter the ground, was left with the only option of serving the country with death.
First, burn the Imperial City, then turn the entire Kyoto into scorched earth, and then all the soldiers and civilians came out in full swing. For the honor of the Yamato nation, they fought a desperate battle with the Korean army.
As soon as Itagaki Tuisuke's idea came out, the daimyo of each family immediately became like a blowout pot
What, what, should the Oshima that represents the soul of the Yamato nation? And should the entire Kyoto be transformed into scorched earth?
This is not a death to serve the country. It is clearly a loss of confidence in the revitalization of the Yamato nation. It is clearly a genuine and complete cowardly act.
Especially the one who was first driven by the Korean army to the Wakasa Domain, who was driven to the family and business, then finally ran into Kyoto with a bumpy journey, and finally ran into the Echizen Daimai Matsuhei Keinaga, who had a very sensational performance to everyone, even jumped and wiped tears.
Being a Yamato man, and death is Yamato ghost. Don’t say that we still have 100,000 heroic troops in our hands, even if there is only one person left. Even if there is only one breath left, as a member of the Yamato nation, we have the obligation and responsibility to ensure that Kyoto, especially His Majesty the Emperor, is safe and sound. We must retain the seed of the future great rejuvenation for the Yamato nation...
Looking at the shameless performances of the Daemon Daimyos in front of him, Ichigaki Tuisuke had no word to be continued except for the sadness and helplessness.
