That wall clearly represents the walls of Edo Castle! If the walls of Edo Castle could not hold out for half a day under the bombardment of such heavy artillery, then which castle in the entire country of Japan could withstand the attack of the other side?

While all the Japanese present were silent, the artillery commander had already led the artillery team to withdraw to the seaside camp, leaving a ruined wall there. Tokugawa Iemitsu held back the fear in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

Everyone drove their heavy bodies close to the ruined wall, looking closely back and forth. Several of the important ministers who led the troops still walked back and forth on the ruins a few times. After returning, a man whispered to Tokugawa Iemitsu, "Shogun, this wall has completely lost its meaning!" The collapsed bricks and stones were directly paved into two slopes, and both infantry and cavalry could easily break through the walls and enter the city! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a heavy face, "Okay, I know." Let's go back. ”

In fact, what they don't know is that Liu Pei collapsed this wall by tricks. Because the real city wall has a long length, there are other walls as supports. So when the shells are bombarded, the impact will be dispersed by the long city walls. But now there is only a short section of the city wall, and there is no way to disperse the impact. I can only bear it all, so I was quickly blown down!

For example, modern artillery is much more powerful than the ancient smoothbore guns of today! But during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when the Japanese devils attacked Nanjing, the Chinese defenders occupied the city wall and defended it! The Japanese devils used artillery, tanks, aircraft bombing and other means to bombard the city walls of Nanjing. But there's still nothing you can do with that old wall! In the end, it can only break the weak points of several city gates! This shows how strong this wall is.

If Liu Pei wanted to destroy the walls of Edo Castle, it would not be possible to do it in a short period of time! He would have to concentrate a lot of artillery for several days to do it!

It's a pity that none of the people present have studied physics and don't understand the truth at all. Seeing a wall as thick and sturdy as the walls of Edo Castle being destroyed by artillery, they felt that the walls of Edo Castle were no more than Er. When this wall was blown down, their psychological defense line also completely collapsed!

Back at the castle tower, Tokugawa Iemitsu and his retainers sat in their rooms relatively silent. The ruined wall floated in front of everyone's eyes, and it was also against the walls of Edo Castle. In their imagination, the walls of Edo Castle were breached! Hordes of enemies poured into the walls! They killed every person they could, and it was a cruel sight before their eyes!

It wasn't until a long time later that Tokugawa Iemitsu said slowly: "Abe-kun, when negotiating with the Red-Eyed Dragon King, you can make appropriate concessions in exchange for reaching an agreement as soon as possible and letting them leave." ”

Abe Mid-Autumn heard this, and secretly complained in his heart. Although he understood Tokugawa Iemitsu's mood at this time, how did he make such a completely unstandard concession? If he concedes too much, he will be called a national thief. If there are fewer concessions, if the anger of the Red-Eyed Dragon King is triggered, once he leads his troops to attack Edo Castle, he will be called a national thief! When the time comes, maybe before you can cut your stomach, you will be punished by the angry and brainless samurai!

Abe Zhongchu hesitated for a moment and said, "General, can you give me more specific instructions in the next one?" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled bitterly and said, "Abe-kun, I know what you think. But it's you who knows the most about the negotiations. So, whatever decision you make, I'll take it! And you won't let anyone else blame you. ”

Abe Tadaaki breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then he remembered something again, and said, "General, I don't think it's better to delay it for a few more days." Don't forget, we still have a naval battle to fight! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu tapped his head with a folding fan and said, "Ah! Yes, indeed! I almost forgot. So be it, the specific progress is up to you. I have a headache today and want to rest early. ”

After everyone sent Tokugawa Iemitsu away, they all gathered around Abe Chukai to ask about the negotiations. Abe Mid-Autumn did not hide it. Everyone was silent after listening to Abe's introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival. After a long time, Tadashi Sakai, who was relatively old among these people, said in a deep voice: "Abe, let it go!" Try to recover some losses for your family as much as possible! ”

Abe Mid-Autumn could only nod silently. He knew that after today's actual combat exercises, he no longer had the bargaining chips to bargain with the other party. The only hope he had now was to delay as much time as possible, so that the naval battle organized by Tokugawa Iemitsu would have a result as soon as possible.

The inside of Edo Castle was gloomy and foggy, but inside the camp by the sea was full of laughter. In Liu Pei's big account, many officers gathered together to listen to a few spies describe the performance of the Japanese people.

The spies were all members of the Intelligence Bureau, and they disguised themselves as Japanese civilians and samurai to blend in with the crowd and observe their movements. Especially after the appearance of Tokugawa Iemitsu, it was the focus of the spies.

The Wa Kingdom is not the same as the Central Plains. When there is a war in the Central Plains, it is often an army of hundreds of thousands of people who kill each other! Within a radius of hundreds of miles, after the army, there is not a single grass left! And the war of the Wa Kingdom is more like two village chiefs fighting, and the danger is not great.

Therefore, every time there is a war, a large number of residents, homeless people, and wandering samurai will approach the battlefield. On the one hand, they wanted to find something on the battlefield. On the other hand, it is hoped that it will be taken in by the army. So every time there is a war, they are indispensable. Even Liu Pei's attack on Edo Castle attracted many onlookers to watch the battle. So it was effortless for these spies to blend in with the crowd.

Anyone who is a spy is a person with a keen eye and a sharp tongue. Therefore, when several spies stood in the middle of the big tent and talked about the performance of the Japanese people, it caused a burst of laughter from time to time.

When the spy finished speaking and retreated, everyone had laughed enough. Qi Qitao said loudly: "Fuck! I didn't know that Tokugawa Iemitsu kid came out! If he knew that he had come out, Lao Tzu would have ridden his horse directly and led people to catch him, and the war in this Wa Kingdom would have come to an end! ”

When the big tent heard this, they all laughed and nodded yes. But Liu Pei shook his head and said, "It's useless, catching Tokugawa Iemitsu will only complicate things." ”

And they all listened intently. Because my wife said that everyone has less experience now, and their vision is not as broad as that of people in officialdom. If you want to be on your own, you have to listen and think more.
