The pressure exerted on individuals by a modern totalitarian state is terrifying. It has three basic weapons www.biquge.info direct propaganda or disguised propaganda as education, instruction, and popular culture, erecting barriers to multicultural information, and terror.

Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuyoshi disagreed, but it was normal for them to do business, and if the important ministers of the Tsugaru family were to agree every time, it would probably make the governor suspicious and not show the wisdom of the governor.

Therefore, many times Hattori Yasujo deliberately put forward suggestions that were different from those of others, and the three elders of Oura were no exception, and even among the three elders of Oura, they would often put forward completely opposite opinions in front of Tsugaru and engage in appropriate disputes.

All of this is done for the sake of the Governor Tsugaru, it's not that they are not loyal enough to Tsugaru, it's just that there are some things they have to go; loyalty is not necessarily upright, traitors are not necessarily cunning, smart people will always play their role well.

The ambitious Tsugaru is not an ordinary person, and what he does is definitely one of the most capable governors in the history of the Tsugaru family;

But then again, Hattori Yasuki and Ogasawara Nobuki's personal relationship is still good, at least not as completely unrelated as it seems on the surface;

After all, everyone is an ordinary person, and no one wants to be stabbed in the back by the people around them when they are carefully serving the governor above, so it is very important to handle their relationships with other people.

In general, the relationship between the retainers of the Tsugaru family is relatively good, which is also reflected in the city of Rome; if it weren't for Bai Feng's strength, do you think the barbarian generals in Rome City could really live in harmony?

Hattori Yasagi, who was the commander of the Tsugaru family's 20,000-strong army, divided the 20,000-strong army into two the day after he set out, and he himself led 4,000 standing troops and 6,000 peasant soldiers, and he handed over the other half of the army to Ogasawara Nobuyoshi.

Ogasawara Nobukino is not a fool, he can naturally see Hattori Yashiro's deliberate overtures, this also belongs to the tacit understanding between these retainers, Ogasawara Nobukishi has done similar things before, all in order to get along better.

Hattori Yasuki and Ogasawara Nobuki led their troops all the way to the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, where they rested for one night to replenish the food and grass needed by the army for half a month; of course, it was inevitable that Hattori Yasuko, Numata Yumitsu and others would come and go.

After several days of marching, the 20,000 troops of the Tsugaru family finally joined the Yanhuang family's wild border dungeon city, but unfortunately, what was waiting for them was not the vulnerable peasant soldiers of the Yanhuang family, but the elite division of the Yanhuang family!

With 5,000 soldiers from the Standing Army of Quanshan, plus 3,000 soldiers from the Standing Army of the South, and the Longbow Wing of the Governor's Guard, the combat effectiveness of this garrison of the 10,000 wild border cities is still very good, at least it is more than a step stronger than the army of the Tsugaru family.

The Tsugaru clan army that was approaching the castle first surrounded the castle from the west and north of the castle on the day of their arrival, and then launched an attack on the castle the next day, and their first tentative attack involved less than 2,000 troops.

Hattori Yasujo, who led the army to attack the west gate of the wild frontier castle, invested 500 peasant soldiers as cannon fodder, followed by 500 elite standing troops; Ogasawara Nobuki, who led the army to attack the north gate of the wild frontier castle, was much simpler, he directly invested 1,000 peasant cannon fodder and did not send a standing army.

On the other hand, on the side of the Yanhuang family who defended the city, Quanshan Gukang personally led 2,000 soldiers of the Standing Army of Quanshan and 1,000 longbowmen to guard the western wall of the Yebian Dungeon, and the northern city wall was guarded by another 3,000 soldiers and 1,000 longbowmen of the Standing Army of Quanshan.

The 3,000 soldiers of the southern standing army were divided into two by Quanshan Gukang and sent to garrison the east and south walls; although there were no enemies outside the east and south walls, it was still necessary to prepare for the enemy's sneak attack.

On the first day of the battle, the Tsugaru clan's tentative attack was hit by a rain of arrows from the longbowmen on the wall, and the height of the wall allowed the longbowmen to shoot at an astonishing range of 450 meters!

The distance of 450 meters was enough for the longbowmen on the city wall to carry out more than ten rounds of salvos in an orderly manner, and the ten rounds of salvos of a thousand longbowmen were a covering blow of 10,000 sharp arrows, which was not an attack that a mere 1,000 light infantry could withstand.

The poorly equipped Ashigaru troops of the Tsugaru clan were at best ordinary light infantry, and the improvised peasant soldiers were not even light infantry because they wore sackcloth and did not even have decent weapons.

The Tsugaru clan peasants shouting the slogan of the charge thought that they would be rewarded by the samurai as long as they rushed to the city wall, and the samurai who stood tall was an existence that all their peasants could only look up to.

Whether in times of peace or in times of great strife, the enthusiasm of young people will always be aroused by the encouragement of those in power, and these peasant soldiers who have not undergone military training are brushing shoulders with death with their blood.

The first wave of arrows rained out was as formidable as dark clouds, and the hot-blooded peasants who were caught off guard greeted the baptism of this round of arrows with their fragile flesh and blood, and just one round of arrow rain stopped the 500 peasants who were menacing.

Dozens of peasants were shot dead on the spot, and almost the same number were wounded by sharp arrows and lay on the ground wailing;

In particular, the wounded who were still wailing and screaming on the ground, their terrible screams and painful wails terrified the hearts of the other peasants and soldiers who were still standing in place, and only by seeing death and blood with their own eyes did these peasants and soldiers truly understand the cruelty of war.

The hesitant peasants did not continue to rush forward, nor did they dare to retreat on their own, and while they were struggling, the second round of arrows of the longbowmen came, and two successive waves of arrows completely routed the attacking peasants, causing them to immediately rout and return.

Unfortunately, even if they took out the range of the longbowmen, they could not escape the 500 Tsugaru family standing soldiers who were overseeing the battle behind them, and in the face of the sword and spear of the overseer, the terrified peasants had to rush towards the city wall again.

The longbowmen on the walls show no mercy for their enemies, the barbarian warriors fear only the strong, and the weak do not deserve sympathy, and their mechanical bows and arrows shoot and finally crush the enemy's tentative attacking army!

On the first day of the battle, Hattori Yasujo's tentative attacking force lost all 500 peasant soldiers and more than 200 standing troops, while Ogasawara Nobutsuni on the other side lost only 300 peasant soldiers, because the peasant troops he sent were so fast that they could not be stopped.
