Chapter 2037 Kyoto Raiders
The distance between the island country Kyoto and Osaka is actually not too far, but after all, whether it is Toyotomi Hideyoshi or Tokugawa Ieyasu, the reason why they set up their nests in Osaka is also to be able to coerce the emperor to order the princes and better control the people in the island country Kyoto. the emperor.But the two will not be too close to the emperor. Although the emperor of the island country does not have much strength, he still has some influence.

Due to the influence of the Central Plains, Luoyang and Chang'an in the Central Plains have become the capitals of the Central Plains dynasty many times in history. At first, when Ping'an Jing was built in imitation of the Central Plains cities, it was divided into two parts, the east and the west. Chang'an", and Zuojing on the east side is imitated from Luoyang, so it is called "Luoyang".However, the "Chang'an" area in Ukyo was not developed smoothly because it was mostly swampy land, and in the end the actual urban area was only "Luoyang" in Ukyo.Therefore, Kyoto is also called "Luoyang". Heianjing was designated as the capital of the island country and became the political and cultural center of the island country. proper nouns.

Kyoto has also been destroyed by wars, but after the development of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and others, it has already returned to the period of complete victory, and now, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu have successively made Osaka their home, Kyoto, which is not too far from Osaka, has not been harassed by the civil war. Because of its special status in the island country, many families moved directly to Kyoto in order to avoid the war. At this time, Kyoto has many big families in the island country. , which is why Zeng Yi and the others wanted to take Kyoto.

According to Zeng Yi's estimation, the harvest of taking the island country Kyoto is definitely no less than that of taking Osaka. However, it is not so easy for the Northern Army to attack Kyoto. After the Northern Army took Osaka, Tokugawa Ieyasu In the cities around Osaka, additional troops were sent, and after going deep into the inland, without the support of the navy, the fire support of the Northern Army was greatly restricted. If you want to win Kyoto, it is not like winning Osaka is that simple.

There are several small cities between Osaka and Kyoto. These small cities seem to be small, but they were all built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi before. They have a certain fortress nature. Compared with ordinary cities, the defense is much better. , and Tokugawa Iekoga sent manpower, it is not so easy to take down a few small cities.

Before the soldiers and horses were mobilized, the information went first, and before the Northern Army set off, the pro-army Duwei's Mansion had already started to act hotly, and even the four of Zeng Yi went out in person, in order to find out the situation of several small cities.

Those few small cities are just a few military fortresses. Except for the soldiers from the island countries, there are basically no civilians. This means to the Northern Army that there is actually no oil or water, but if there is no oil or water, it must be taken down. On the way, if this place is not captured, the northern army will be cut off by the islanders when they reach Kyoto, and it will be a big problem for the northern army to retreat by then.

As the rear of the northern army, the retreat point, and the port of call for the navy fleet, Osaka must be safe. If the northern army sends troops to attack Kyoto, Osaka must also be well protected, otherwise the islanders will take advantage of it and take back Osaka. Then the northern army's retreat was cut off, yes) so for the safety of Osaka, the northern army directly left [-] defenders in Osaka.There are so many people left because they are afraid that the civilians in Osaka City are doing things.

The [-] Northern Army embarked on the journey, and the first small town they attacked did not encounter too many difficulties. There were many defenders in the small town, but facing the [-] elite Central Plains Northern Army, it was not of the same order at all. The situation here has been figured out by the pro-army Duwei Mansion, and after a few rounds of attacks, this place was breached.

But in the next few small cities, it became more and more difficult for the Northern Army to fight.The intention of the Northern Army's action was too obvious. After Tokugawa Ieyasu discovered the Northern Army's intentions, he sent additional manpower again and harassed the Northern Army halfway through its march.These are actually nothing, but caused some troubles to the northern army, but after the northern army captured the third fortress on the road from Osaka to Kyoto, the northern army received a report, and Tokugawa Ieyasu sent a large army to attack from the flank. He entered and took back the first fort captured by the Northern Army.

The northern army was furious, Tokugawa Ieyasu was cutting off their way out, the leader of the northern army immediately sent a deputy general to lead an army of tens of thousands, and killed them back. As a result, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not fight the northern army at all. See the northern army Kill back and retreat directly.

Tokugawa Ieyasu clearly wants to fight guerrilla warfare with the northern army. As long as you leave, they will immediately send troops to occupy them. If you come back, they will retreat. There is no way. The northern army can only let the tens of thousands of troops, Stationed there as a fortress.

With the garrison of the Northern Army, Tokugawa Ieyasu naturally had no way to occupy the fort again in a short period of time, but this also dragged down the number of the Northern Army. Every time a fort was occupied, the Northern Army needed to leave some troops to garrison. After the fortress, the original 5 army of the Northern Army has only [-] horses left!

The general of the Northern Army asked Zeng Yi with a gloomy face: "Lord Ni, I wonder if the Commandant's Mansion of the pro-military army has figured out how many such fortresses there are on the way from Osaka to Kyoto?"

Zeng Yi nodded, "I already figured it out, there are two more behind! These were built by Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi when they were in power. The main purpose is actually to protect Kyoto, which was once harassed by war!"

"Two! At least 1 people are needed! There are only less than 4 horses left!" After a moment of silence, the commander of the Northern Army looked at Zeng Yi and said very seriously: "My lord! With all your relatives Judging from the Weifu's knowledge of the island country Kyoto, can a [-] army capture the island country Kyoto?"

Zeng Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't have much hope. After Kyoto was harassed by war, in order not to suffer from war in the future, the defense facilities were very complete when it was repaired, and there are definitely a lot of defenders in Kyoto right now. , if the Northern Army is fully loaded and carries a large number of siege equipment, there may be some hope, but the current situation of the Northern Army, 4 people, the chance is not great!"

Hearing Zeng Yi's words, the general of the northern army was in a bit of trouble. Those occupied fortresses must be defended, otherwise, if Tokugawa Ieyasu cut off the retreat, it would be troublesome.Osaka must also be guarded. With a [-] army, it is necessary to suppress the civilians in Osaka, defend Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc., and can no longer mobilize troops on a large scale.After thinking for a long time, there was no way to get enough troops, and the Northern Army had to temporarily stop its offensive.
