Toyotomi Hideyoshi's residence.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was hesitating. The speed at which things were deteriorating was beyond his imagination. In Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mind, the best situation was that after Fushimi Castle withstood Daming's attack, he would launch a beautiful counterattack. At that time, he could negotiate with Daming.
Even if he had to sacrifice something, it would be worth it. For this reason, Toyotomi Hideyoshi reinforced Fushimi Castle and was prepared to sacrifice human lives.
However, Toyotomi Hideyoshi realized that he had overestimated the defense of Fushimi Castle and underestimated the power of Daming's cannons. Obviously, Fushimi Castle could no longer withstand Daming's attack for a long time.
According to today's situation, Fushimi Castle would be breached in two days at most. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had no confidence in withstanding Daming's attack in Fushimi Castle.
"I can't delay any longer!" A look of determination flashed across Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face. At the same time, there was a hint of determination.
"I'll hold on for another day tomorrow. Tomorrow night, I will attack Daming."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi made up his mind. If he faced Daming head-on during the day, Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't have the confidence. He knew very well that he couldn't defeat Daming's army with his military strength and combat power.
Just when Toyotomi Hideyoshi made up his mind to fight Daming with his life, there was a sudden chaos outside.
Frowning, Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly stood up and held the knife in his hand. No matter what happened at this time, it was definitely a big deal.
"What happened?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked with a serious expression.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from outside. The leader was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At this time, he was covered in blood and his arm was injured. He was holding a knife in his hand. After seeing Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi quickly said, "Father, there are assassins outside. They have already rushed in. Please mobilize the army to kill the assassins."
The sound of fighting outside was getting louder and louder. Obviously, the battle was very intense. Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know!" Toyotomi Hiuji shook his head. "But they are all ninjas, and their attacks are very fierce.
“
Ninjas? "
Toyotomi Hideyoshi immediately thought of a person. This person was Tokugawa Ieyasu. In Fushimi Castle, there were not many people who could mobilize the power to attack his mansion in a short time. Moreover, they were ninjas. Therefore, it was most likely to be Tokugawa Ieyasu. Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help but think of the rumors from a few days ago.
Had Tokugawa Ieyasu and Daming formed an alliance?
"Let's go out and have a look!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi held the knife and said, "I want to see who dares to kill me!"
"Father, you can't!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi quickly stepped forward to stop him. "It's dark and we can't see clearly. What if something happens to you? What should we do?
What about the Japanese Empire? "
Looking at Toyotomi Hiuji's sincere gaze, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's expression softened. He said, "Now that things have come to this, we can't hide anymore. Where can I hide?
We can't hide anymore. When the reinforcements arrive, we will kill Tokugawa Ieyasu. "
As soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished speaking, the roof behind him suddenly cracked. Then, more than a dozen people jumped down from the roof.
After landing, they rolled and threw the shuriken in their hands at Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They were very fast. At the same time, they pulled the trigger and the crossbow in their hands shot at Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
As the cold light flashed, there was a dark blue color on it. It was obvious that it had been smeared with poison.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly turned around and pulled Toyotomi Hiuji in front of him.
Puff!
Before Toyotomi Hiuji could react, the shuriken and the arrow had already shot into his body. Toyotomi Hiuji was immediately stunned.
The samurai in the house also reacted at this time. They rushed toward the ninjas with their swords. The battle broke out in an instant.
Obviously, the previous attack was just a diversion. These people were the real threat. Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi reacted quickly, he was still hit by the arrow.
However, with Toyotomi Hiuji blocking, the injury did not reach his vital parts. However, because of the poison, Toyotomi Hideyoshi did not dare to move.
Intense activity would only speed up the blood flow, which would cause him to die of the poison even faster.
At this time, Toyotomi Hiuji had already fallen to the ground. His body was constantly twitching, and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. He was looking for a chance to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he did not expect to be tricked by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. How could he be willing to accept this? He was foaming at the mouth and his eyes were unfocused. He knew that he was dying.
"Ah!"
Using all the strength in his body, Toyotomi Hiuji suddenly jumped up. The long sword in his hand stabbed upwards along Toyotomi Hideyoshi's crotch.
Although this sword was stabbed upwards while lying on the ground, it was very powerful. Blood splattered everywhere.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked down at Toyotomi Hiuji and found that he was no longer moving. He was dead. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was filled with hatred in his heart. You're already dead, yet you still want to kill me. If I knew this would happen, I would have killed you long ago.
This was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's last thought. Then, he fell to the ground with a loud bang.
No one expected Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toyotomi Hiuji to die in such a dramatic manner. The two sides who were fighting were stunned.
At this time, the leader of the ninjas reacted quickly. He rushed forward and chopped off Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head. Then, he shouted, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he rushed outside without stopping at all. The other ninjas also reacted at this time and followed him out.
The entire Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mansion was in a mess. People were shouting and shouting. The news of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death spread quickly.
The chaos quickly spread. The entire Fushimi Castle was in chaos and everyone was in a panic.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's mansion.
Looking at Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head in front of him, Tokugawa Ieyasu asked, "How are the casualties?"
"Nearly 70% of them are dead or injured!" Hattori Hanzo said with some pain.
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded, "You can leave now!
Give more money to those who died, and treat those who are injured. "
After Hattori Hanzo left, Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes fell on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head again. Originally, Tokugawa Ieyasu thought that he would be very happy when he saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head, but he didn't.
Not only was he not happy, but he also felt a little sad. Today's Toyotomi Hideyoshi would be tomorrow's Tokugawa Ieyasu.
At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's blood was burning in his heart. He knew that he had to bear it, but now he had to bear it for the sake of not being able to bear it in the future.
Putting Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head back into the wooden box, Tokugawa Ieyasu murmured, "I will try my best to finish what you can't finish. Just watch."
