As Toyotomi Hideyoshi's most trusted civil official, Ishida Mitsunari stood up and said, "My lord, my informant within the Tokugawa family has sent word."
They plan to use this invasion by the Xia Dynasty as an opportunity to annihilate the entire Toyotomi family.
“Oda Nobunaga is also preparing to deal with us, my lord. We must not make any mistakes this time, or we will be doomed.”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face darkened, and he was furious: "The people of the Great Xia Dynasty haven't even attacked yet, and they're already plotting against us."
"Can we still win in this situation?"
Ishihara Miki: "My lord, if we want to survive, we must first eliminate the Tokugawa clan and the Oda clan's army. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded: "The entire army will retreat fifty miles. Whether it's Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga, or any other villain, they have no chance of killing me."
As horns sounded, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's large army quickly prepared to set off.
And at that very moment.
Many ships appeared on the sea.
These ships were Jiang Tian's warships.
Jiang Tian's warship cut through the waves, getting closer and closer to the shore.
Jiang Tian looked towards the dock with his binoculars.
Ji Yanran, standing nearby, pointed to the dock and said, "Sir, this dock was built with our money by the Tianxia Society and the Japanese."
"This pier is one of the major piers in Japan, large enough for our more than 100 ships to dock."
Jiang Tian nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Tian, holding a telescope, saw that there were many Japanese samurai camps on the beach.
"Hahaha," Jiang Tian roared to the sky, "I've finally arrived in Japan!"
Song Yingxing was somewhat puzzled: "My lord, it's just a small island called Japan. What's there to be happy about? I think this place is far inferior to our Great Xia."
Jiang Tian: "There are some things you don't understand. These Japanese devils have done too many despicable things. I have to wipe them out. I have been waiting for this day for a thousand years."
Song Yingxing was somewhat puzzled: "My lord, do you have a thousand grudges against these Japanese?"
"It's hard to explain in a short time," Jiang Tian said excitedly.
"Pass down the order to prepare for landing."
"Push all the cannons down."
"Musketeers, prepare to land."
"My lord, General Qi Jiguang's 20,000 soldiers are less than five miles away from us," Chen Feilong said, looking into the distance.
"Signal with flags to get them ashore quickly. My war to destroy this nation is about to begin."
One by one, the warships quickly approached the shore.
The soldiers who rushed off the warships quickly assembled.
One cannon after another was pulled down from the warship.
Half an hour later, Qi Jiguang's troops also quickly reached the shore.
Nearly 50,000 soldiers disembarked from more than 100 ships.
Qi Jiguang rushed to Jiang Tian's side.
"My lord, all of our Qi Family Army troops have landed and are ready to launch a swift attack on the Japanese at any time."
“No rush,” Jiang Tian said, looking into the distance through his binoculars. “The soldiers have been on the ship for so many days, let them rest before they fight again.”
Qi Jiguang looked into the distance through his binoculars; in the distance lay the fortress of the Japanese.
In addition, it can be seen that the other party's personnel are being mobilized.
"My lord, we don't need to rest now. The brothers are all in high spirits."
"We first annihilated the Japanese cavalry in the distance and then rested."
Jiang Tian had already seen the mobilization of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's 100,000-strong army.
"The enemy's fortress is built in a strategic location, making it difficult to deal with."
"My lord, leave the places we can't conquer to me." Li Yuanba had been itching to speak for a long time.
Jiang Tian watched the retreating troops, the crest of Toyotomi Hideyoshi fluttering in the wind on the flags.
"My lord, what are you hesitating for?" Li Yuanba had already mounted his horse. "In my opinion, that fortress is far inferior to Ye City in Ji Province."
"No matter what kind of fortress it is, it's all my business with one hammer blow."
"Go ahead, be careful..." Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, Li Yuanba's Myriad Clouds and Smoke Veil had already rushed out.
Li Yuanba dashed off into the distance like a bolt of lightning.
Qi Jiguang was shocked: "My lord, that fierce general just now..."
"Li Yuanba".
"I've heard about it." Qi Jiguang waved his hand. "Qi Family Army, listen to my command! We can't fall behind others. We'll follow General Li Yuanba and fight our way through, leaving them with nothing."
"promise……"
Qi Jiguang's army, filled with murderous intent, marched northward.
…………
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army quickly headed north.
Tokugawa Ieyasu stood on the fortress wall, furious.
"That bastard Toyotomi Hideyoshi deserted his post. The docks were already packed with people from Great Xia, but he was thinking of retreating."
"My lord, we cannot allow Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army to pass through us. If they retreat, we will be facing these Great Xia people alone."
Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is dreaming. He wants to backstab me from behind. Does he have the ability to do that?"
"Pass down the order: the first and second 10,000-strong teams are to prepare to intercept them. They have no chance of getting past me."
"Hi..."
The deafening sound of war drums echoed from the fortress guarded by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Meanwhile, in the distance, 100,000 Xianbei cavalry had already arrived.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's 100,000 soldiers and the Xianbei's 100,000 iron cavalry were like two doors.
For Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces to get through was harder than climbing to heaven.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's soldiers quickly rushed out of the fortress.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's soldiers quickly formed battle formations.
These tens of thousands of soldiers all stood in front of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's retreating troops.
"Baka yarou! What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's soldiers were instantly enraged when they saw Tokugawa Ieyasu's soldiers blocking their way.
Kato Kiyomasa: "Your opponents are not us, your opponents are the Great Xia people. Quickly make way and let us pass."
Tokugawa Ieyasu's soldiers retorted without backing down: "You dare to retreat in the face of a formidable enemy? You must be tired of living."
"You raise an army for a thousand days, but use it for one. If His Majesty the Emperor knew that you had retreated in the face of battle, he would surely cut off your heads."
"Go back now. You're not getting any way through here."
The two sides instantly became tense, and the sounds of samurai swords being drawn rang out.
Neither side would back down.
Kuroda Hyōe: "You Tokugawa family members are all harboring evil intentions. Don't think we don't know what you're up to. If you don't clear the way, don't blame us for drawing our swords."
"Who's afraid of who? Our lord said that no one is allowed to pass through here today. There's only one way out for you: head back now."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's agent was responsible for covering the rear.
Suddenly he noticed that the soldiers in front of him had stopped advancing.
"My lord? Tokugawa Ieyasu's troops are blocking our way and won't let us pass." Kurobei dispatched cavalry, who charged towards Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
