Chapter 178: Besieged on all sides!

"So Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to war under these circumstances."

Li Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Who would have thought that the Japanese army had a reserve force?

I'm afraid even the players in the Japanese camp didn't expect Toyotomi Hideyoshi to join the war.

Before, Li Qian was wondering if he had to kill his way to the four islands of Japan to complete the SS-level achievement mission "Death of Kanpaku"?
Now Li Qian finally understood that this SS-level achievement task required the Japanese players to choose to burn their boats and activate the compensation mechanism in order to have a chance of completion.

However, the Ming army would be in a very dangerous situation if daimyo such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Uesugi Kagekatsu, Gamo Ujisato, Date Masamune and other daimyo led tens of millions of Japanese troops to attack and surrounded by Japanese troops such as Ukita Hideie, Konishi Yukinaga, Kuroda Nagamasa, Kobayakawa Takakage, Mori Terumoto and Hashiba Hidekatsu.

If they are not careful, the Ming army may lose this national war.

"Let's go back to the Ming army camp at Hecheng Mountain."

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi joined the war, Li Qian immediately led his troops back to the camp established by the Ming army on Tsurugao Mountain.

In Busanpo, teams of samurai, foot soldiers, and ninjas are marching towards Ulsan.

The Japanese players who stayed in Busan Port also followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi northward.

They no longer considered defending Busanpo, but instead chose Ulsan as the location for the decisive battle.

"That's Honda Tadakatsu from the East Country Warriors!"

The Japanese players burst into exclamations when they saw a short but strong general carrying an extremely long spear in Tokugawa Ieyasu's army.

Honda Tadakatsu and Tachibana Muneshige, one was known as the Unrivaled One of the East and the other was known as the Unrivaled One of the West, both were fierce generals.

The Honda Tadakatsu in the National War is not a general recruited by the player, but the original lineup of the Japanese army in the National War. Honda Tadakatsu is already in his peak state.

All they have to do is follow famous generals like Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Tadakatsu and charge into battle!

"That's the Ii Red Guards of 'Akagami Ii'!"

Japanese players were also attracted by a group of cavalrymen in Tokugawa Ieyasu's army who were fully equipped with red armor.

The Ii Red Armored Forces were the Red Armored Cavalry rebuilt by Ii Naomasa, a retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who absorbed the defeated Takeda Red Armored Forces after the Takeda family fell into decline.

Among the four islands of Japan, the Ii Red Army is the elite among the elite.

"Ghost Hattori, Hattori Hanzo and his ninja army are here too!"

There was also a special type of soldier in Tokugawa Ieyasu's army - the Iga Ninja.

The commander of the ninja army is the famous ninja Hattori Hanzo.

Hattori Hanzo was one of the Tokugawa Sixteen Generals in history, and he did have many Iga ninjas under his command, which is why he is well known as a ninja to later generations.

Almost all of Tokugawa Ieyasu's famous generals went into battle, and the army was strong and powerful.

Date Masamune's army had a cavalry artillery unit, and this cavalry unit was actually equipped with matchlock rifles.

"One-eyed dragon" Date Masamune wore a black eye patch on one eye, carried a matchlock gun, and looked down on everyone with an arrogant look.

Daimyo such as Maeda Toshiie, Uesugi Kagekatsu, and Gamo Ujisato each had their own retainers, each of whom was as fierce as a wolf or a tiger.

They had not yet engaged in battle with the Ming army, and their army was intact. They were determined to win the siege of Ulsan at this time.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the army in person, and was personally welcomed by advance army generals including Ukita Hideie, Konishi Yukinaga, Kuroda Nagamasa, and Kobayakawa Takakage.

"Your Highness, we are incompetent and the war is at a stalemate. Please forgive us."

Ukita Hideie, as the general, was sweating profusely.

He led more than 10 million Japanese troops, but failed to defeat the Ming army, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi had to lead the army in person and mobilized the reserve troops assembled in Nagoya. "Get up." Toyotomi Hideyoshi was already over 50 years old, with gray hair. He held a military fan in his hand and pointed at Ulsan. "Divide the troops into four groups, east, south, west, and north, and besiege Ulsan. If you can successfully "enter Tang", all the land you get will be granted to you."

"Long live!"

The daimyos and generals present shouted "Long live the emperor" one by one.

One of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's goals in conquering the Central Plains was to gain more land.

The four islands of Japan have a large population and a small amount of land, and the land is not enough to reward meritorious officials and daimyo, so more land needs to be plundered.

The Tang Dynasty had the greatest influence on Japan. Japan once sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to introduce advanced culture and systems, which was known in history as the "Taika Reform." Nearly a thousand years later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still called this entry into the Central Plains "Entering Tang."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi divided his troops into four groups and attacked Ulsan from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, forming a huge encirclement outside the Ming army that surrounded Ulsan.

For a time, the Ming army was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was in danger.

The four main generals of the Japanese army were Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Date Masamune, and Ukita Hideie.

The Japanese army's strength increased dramatically, and the pressure on the Ming army doubled.

The Ming army began to withdraw its forces, and its main force was forced to huddle near Daoshan Castle.

The situation was critical. The Ming army commander Li Rusong, generals Li Rubai, Li Rumei, Zha Dashou, Wu Weizhong and others, as well as lord players such as Li Qian, Emperor Yuan, Emperor Qing, Xuanyuan, and Gaolianghe Cheshen all looked solemn.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Gamo Ujisato, Date Masamune and others brought by Toyotomi Hideyoshi were all tough guys, much stronger than Ukita Hideie and others.

If it were just this, the generals on the Ming army side would not be afraid.

The most important thing is that the 10 million Japanese troops brought by Toyotomi Hideyoshi were complete fresh troops without any losses, while the Ming army had experienced several major battles and suffered losses in all its units.

Inside the Ming army camp, everyone was silent, racking their brains for strategies to defeat the enemy.

We are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and we might even lose this national war.

"The only solution now is to capture Shimayama Castle before Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrives, and then fight him to the death. No matter what, we must not lose this battle."

Li Qian was the first to speak and break the silence.

This war is related to the outcome of the national war. In Li Qian's opinion, we cannot lose to the daily life at all costs!

"That's right. As long as we capture Shimayama Castle, the morale of the Japanese army will be affected. We still have a chance to defeat Toyotomi Hideyoshi!"

"Isn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi just a monkey? Why should I be afraid of him?"

"Don't let Xiao Rizi laugh at us!"

After Li Qian broke the silence, other Eastern Han players became excited.

In the civil war of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, but losing to the daily life is not acceptable!
"To attack Daoshan Castle again this time, we must concentrate all our elite troops and fight with one push. We will not retreat a single step until Daoshan Castle is taken. I am willing to be the vanguard!"

Li Qian encouraged everyone and seeing that morale was high, he volunteered.

If everyone is afraid to move forward when they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, then they will only end up defeated.

Li Qian set an example, and many lord players followed suit.

"I, Xuanyuan, am also a brave man. How can I sit back and watch?"

"The light of the sword chills the Japanese pirates' courage, the cloud is parted and the finger is pointed at the moon in the sky. Meilang of Jiangzuo is willing to be the vanguard."

"Count me in!"

The players of the Eastern Han Dynasty spoke passionately, their blood boiling, and rushed to compete.

The second bloody battle of Daoshan Castle is about to begin!
