The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Soon, Murata Kosuke and Yamanaka Takuma met.

At this moment, Yamanaka Takuma looked haggard, with unconcealable fatigue and depression on his face.

"Kosuke, Saigo Hayabusa's navy has been defeated by Yan's army at sea, but... no one survived! Their entire army was wiped out."

"Our strongest navy is no match for the Yan Kingdom. Damn it...I..." Yamanaka Takuma looked sad and sighed sadly.

"That bastard Saigo Hayabusa! In the past, he always boasted about his navy, but today he lost so completely! I knew they were unreliable!" Kosuke Murata yelled through gritted teeth.

"No! Kosuke, there are too many enemy ships. I saw five or six hundred ships at the port, and their firepower was fierce, far exceeding our navy. It's not that our navy is too weak."

"And I... am also an incompetent person."

"I failed to defend Kawanishi Port, and let so many of my men die. The musketeers are out of ten. Now the only new army we can fight is Sakamoto's! But he is still on Iwo Island! "Takuma Murata's eyes were red and full of self-blame.

Murata Kosuke and Yamanaka Takuma have always been on good terms. Seeing him like this now, although he was still furious in his heart, he still comforted him:

"I don't blame you! The enemy troops came suddenly, and there were not many soldiers and horses at the port to begin with."

"If we had known that the enemy would arrive at Sichuan Port today, His Majesty the Emperor would have sent heavy troops to guard the port. He would never have allowed them to land so easily!"

"So what if they have hundreds of warships! How many troops can they bring?! Now besides me, reinforcements from all walks of life are also on their way. When the enemy comes this time, they only have these troops. The next battle Just leave it to us!”

Having said this, Murata Kosuke looked into the distance, his face became more and more fierce, and he said angrily:

"The Yan Kingdom is so trusting! It's so arrogant and they don't take us seriously at all!"

"After seizing the port, we didn't take a rest. Instead, we continued to attack our interior. Do you really think that I, Fuso, have no soldiers to use?!"

"How many of them are there now?" Murata Kosuke turned to ask Yamanaka Takuma.

Yamanaka Takuma immediately replied: "Not many, there are only tens of thousands of people fighting with us, but many of these soldiers and horses use firearms, and these firearms are better than ours, and that is why we cannot Stop them at Sichuan West Port."

"It's just that after this fierce battle, they are tired enough."

After the words fell, Murata Kosuke nodded immediately and said:

"it is good!"

"Tens of thousands of people, then I'll be relieved!"

"With such a small amount of troops, no matter how powerful they are, they are still useless! Our entire Fuso army and horses combined are dozens of times stronger than theirs!"

"Hmph, since they have been carried away and dare to kill directly, then let them never come back!"

"Takuma, hurry back to the Kyoto Imperial Palace and leave this place to us! I will kill them all without leaving any trace behind!"

With that said, Murata Kosuke was about to lead his troops immediately. Seeing that he was so anxious, Yamanaka Takuma hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait, how many soldiers and horses do you have? It seems to me that this force is not enough..."

Murata Kosuke raised his eyebrows: "I urgently mobilized troops. There are 80,000 troops arriving so far! Although it is not a particularly large number, the enemy has already fought a battle at sea, and they are fighting you again at the Western Sichuan Port. It’s been so long.”

"The enemy is tired and we are strong, and this is our home court, how can we be invincible?"

Yamanaka Takuma shook his head repeatedly: "No!"

"You underestimated the enemy's combat power! Listen to me, don't rush to fight them, wait for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive!"

"If you want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, you must have at least three times their strength!"

"And once you decide to start a war, you can't back down. You have to rush over and fight them at close quarters. Their long-range firearms are so powerful that you can only defeat them by breaking through their camp!"

As soon as these words came out, Murata Kosuke's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"I can't just watch them keep advancing. This is our land, and we can't let them take even an inch of it!"

"Takuma, trust me! I can stop them, just leave!"

After the words fell, Yamanaka Takuma shouted:

"No!"

"You can't sacrifice in vain! You must be prepared to fight them!"

"Kosuke, I'm just like you. I don't care about my own life for Fuso, but our death is worthwhile!"

"We must save our lives when it matters most!"

This loud shout shocked Murata Kosuke. As a member of the conservative camp, Yamanaka Takuma was their big brother. They had always followed the Yamanaka family.

At this moment, Yamanaka Takuma's words put Murata Kosuke in a dilemma.

But soon, he said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then I'll wait."

"Wait for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive!"

"But I will never assume that Qiuyuan County has been captured by Yan State! If the enemy forces continue to advance and come here, I will definitely fight them to the death!"

Speaking of this, Murata Kosuke shouted:

"Did you hear everything?!"

"Hey!!!" The soldiers following him roared!

Yamanaka Takuma got off his horse and bowed deeply towards Murata Kosuke.

"Takuma! My incompetence allowed Kawanishi Port to fall."

"And now, please protect our Akihara County! Please!!!"

Murata Kosuke immediately dismounted and bowed to him as well:

"Yes!"

"My troops and I will definitely stay here!"

"Akihara! We will live and die with it!!!"

Yamanaka Takuma raised his head and saw Murata Kosuke's determined eyes. Seeing this look, Yamanaka Takuma knew there was no need to say anything more.

He turned around and mounted his horse, and said to the small broken army he had brought:

"You stay here! Follow General Houmurata's orders!"

"I will go back to the Kyoto Imperial Palace first and ask His Majesty the Emperor to hand over my troops and horses and wait for us! I will come to assist you!"

"Yes!" the soldiers replied.

Immediately, Yamanaka Takuma rode away, while Murata Kosuke led the way forward.

After the war horse ran a certain distance, Yamanaka Takuma turned his head and looked at the advancing soldiers and horses. Unknowingly, a strong sense of pain emerged from his heart.

There was no reason for this feeling, and he could only regard it as the result of his low mood caused by today's defeat.

He looked up at the full moon hanging high in the night sky.

"It should be almost Haishi. I don't know when it will take the message sent to reach His Majesty the Emperor."

At about the time of Xu, a group of soldiers and horses from Feishe County, adjacent to Akihara County, joined Murata Kosuke. The number of soldiers and horses was 30,000.

On the other side, the troops led by Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who were already in Qiuyuan County, chose to suspend their march. The reason was that the messengers from behind sent news that more troops had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, at Haishi, the army led by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun met with Qi Jiguang and others.

As for the military information Yamanaka Takuma sent at the beginning, the soldiers did not dare to stop at all, and rushed to send the news to the Kyoto Imperial Palace!
