Fire Attack!

This has always been a favorite attack method among generals.

Different from the extremely harsh prerequisites of water attack and the defects that are difficult to control by manpower, fire attack that can be used anytime and anywhere has better operability and practicability. Moreover, the unstoppable momentum when the fire burns is also very in line with the current generals' temperament.

However, after listening to Ono Jiro's clever plan, Ono Shinhei seemed very hesitant, and even Ono Jiro himself regretted it immediately after saying it.

The strategy of fire attack is not a surprising idea, and it is indeed very effective to attack the enemy with fire, but the Japanese generals rarely choose fire attack when fighting, but the defending side likes to set fire to themselves when the city is breached!

This is all because Japan at that time had a population of tens of millions, but it was cramped and poor, and this limited territory was divided into hundreds or thousands of different sizes due to years of war. At the time of the third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Japan's huge overseas trade was also interrupted by the war, and Japan, which had lost its window to the outside world, was even more impoverished and weak.

Therefore, it is no accident that all the daimyo and the poor people in Japan today are unusually frugal, and it is no accident that military generals only eat one meal a day on weekdays in order to prepare for war. In such a situation, frugality has long been deeply rooted in the blood and blood of the martial family, which is not only about the strength and weakness of the moment, but also about the survival of the family.

In this way, in the face of the huge cost of building a city, the samurai made use of the resources around them as much as possible. It can be said that the eastern castle was demolished to make up for the western regions, and a castle would put together the stone walls of Hei'an, the beams of Kamakura, and the roof tiles of Muromachi.

In short, the people of the Ohno family have taken a fancy to this good wood in front of them, which is a great fortune!

"Fire attack?"

Nobutei Ohno thought about it for a long time and still couldn't make up his mind, so he took the initiative to ask Shinji Nishiki beside him for advice.

"Lord Renmu has always been known for his decisiveness in his family, I wonder what the boss thinks of the fire attack?"

"That's not unavoidable!"

Shinji Hitoki replied without thinking: "If there is a fire in your own house, it will naturally be put out as much as possible, but the ownership of Liangmu is not known at this time, so how can it be regarded as your own thing." What's more, compared to Matsumoto Castle, which cost thousands of kanbun to build, what is this small good wood bar? That's a territory worth a few thousand stones! ”

So after Shinji Renmu's reminder, everyone woke up one after another, and only the things that were actually taken in their hands had room to think about what was a pity, but it was a pity, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly that ginger was still old and spicy.

"The boss is really reliable!" Nobuhei Ohno couldn't help but praise and proposed to everyone: "As Lord Nishiki said, this battle is a battle for the survival of the family and Matsugami Yoshimitsu, as long as Matsumoto Castle can be taken, then everything is worth it!" Therefore, the main hall decided to immediately carry out a fire attack on Liangmu, otherwise if it continues like this, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable. ”

"Haha." The generals of the Ohno clan saw that the young master was speech, and they took action one after another, so that the people around them could prepare for a fire attack.

Although Nobuhei Ohno was only the commander of the Second Army at this time, everyone actually regarded him as the general future, after all, if the future of the Ohno family is not accidental, it will be the world of this one.

Soon, dozens of diehard members of the Ohno family scattered around the battlefield to stop the soldiers' chaotic rice grabbing, and took the lead in giving the order for the main family to attack.

Despite the reluctance of the soldiers who had been caught up in the rice rush in front of them, they had no choice but to obey the orders of the lord who had been under the rule of Jiwei for several generations, not to mention the die-hard loyalists who were responsible for overseeing the matter behind them.

So the soldiers who were lucky enough to grab the rice tightened their fronts and began to act in accordance with the orders of the rear, and those who did not grab it were only regretful in their hearts.

"Whoosh~~~, Whoosh~~~"

Soon an arrow with a flame was fired at the main hall of the Liangmu Fortress, and the main hall made of wood and grass was soon on fire in this dry season!

Suddenly, Liang Mu Yan panicked, generous and ruthless, and his own side was under siege, this defeat was decided.

"Hateful! I don't want to fall into the hands of the Ohno family so soon, and as a samurai who is hand-picked by Yoshimitsu-sama, no matter how good it is, it can't damage his prestige! ”

Liangmu Nagamasa has always been known for his violent nature, and now he wants to commit suicide when he sees that Liangmu is lost, and he is unwilling to be humiliated and carries a knife.

"Bunta!" Seeing that Yoshiki Nagamasa wanted to commit suicide, Yoshiki Ichihei hurriedly snatched his saber and shouted, "Bastard! Do you want to die when the important task entrusted to us by the main bus is finally completed? ”

Although this Liangmu Yiping and Liangmu Nagamasa are not blood relatives, they have grown up together since childhood, and they are like brothers and sisters, and the two have taken care of each other since they were taken by Yoshimitsu, and they share honor and disgrace. It was Yiliangmu Yiping who saw that Liangmu Nagamasa gave up lightly and wanted to commit suicide, and suddenly he was anxious and hateful, which was both concerned about his friends and worried about his allies.

"Heisan!" Facing the persuasion of his friend, Liangmu Nagamasa sighed frustrated and said: "It is precisely because the lord has entrusted us with such a heavy responsibility that the lord cannot be disgraced. ”

At this time, Liangmu Nagamasa became a little excited and said: "It seems that Liangmu Yan can't hold it now, but as the lord's retainer, I must not become a prisoner of the Ohno family and shame the lord." Heisan, as my friend, it's up to you to make mistakes for me! ”

After that, Liangmu Nagamasa actually straightened his clothes and took out his ribs, and he was so well prepared, it seems that he had already saved the will to die in the city!

"Hateful! Could it be that I, Pingsan, am the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Seeing Yoshiki Nagamasa's behavior, Yoshiki Kazuhei finally couldn't help but confess to himself: "Being able to leap from an ordinary peasant in Ryoki Village to become a samurai, I am not inferior to anyone for my gratitude and loyalty to Yoshimitsu-sama. There is nothing to regret about dying in battle as a samurai, but there are still some necessary things that we need to do. ”

"What!" Yoshiki Nagamasa suddenly realized that he seemed to think of something.

"Yes, exactly!" Liangmu Yihei followed Liangmu Nagamasa's gaze and pointed to the location of the granary and said: "Although Liangmu Qi can't hold it, the military rations that the hundreds of stone lords have worked hard to accumulate in the city must not fall into the hands of the Daye Army. Otherwise, Ohno Hei believed that these military rations would definitely increase his strength greatly, and then the lord would be even more difficult. ”

"That's right, this rice must not fall into the hands of the Ohno family."

Yoshiki Nagamasa immediately regained his fighting spirit, and if these military rations fell into the hands of the enemy, he would really die.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted around: "Quick, prepare the torches, and immediately burn the granary." ”

"Haha!" The people around him quickly took action, and these people were all old men from Hara Ryoki Village, but they were loyal to Yoshimitsu.
