The reason why Yu Dayou is so calm is naturally for a reason, because this Iwami country is a typical place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The terrain of Iwami Province was originally quite defensible, with reckless mountains to the south and endless sea to the north, so the only way to take over this place where the silver mountains gathered was to attack from the east and west.

The west of Iwami Province is the territory of the Mori clan, which means that the only way for the alliance of the princes of Toei to take Iwami Province is to attack from the east.

The east side of Iwami Province is not so easy to attack, because there are too many silver mines here, in order to hold these silver mines, the local wealthy families of Iwami Province have built I don't know how many fortresses, and the east side of Iwami Country can be described as an iron wall, and there are passes everywhere, and there are two castles that can station more than 10,000 people.

Yu Dayou is not the kind of arrogant person, if it is a plain battle, he will not let the 40,000 army of the Maori clan to repair, only with 20,000 Ming army elite to carry more than 100,000 Dongying army, this garrison pass and castle is different, to deal with more than 100,000 Dongying army, there are 20,000 Ming army elite enough!

In the northwest of Iwami Country, Damo County, Omori City, 10,000 elite Ming army are waiting for each other, and the city wall is full of rolling stones, sassal wood, iron pots, boiling water, thunder and other city defense facilities, and more than 200 catties of artillery are densely packed with rows.

Yu Dayou stood calmly on the city gate tower, holding a telescope and looking at the busy Dongying coalition army in the distance, and couldn't help but show a disdainful smile on his face.

At this time, the Dongying coalition army was still mainly fighting with cold weapons, and the number of iron cannons was still quite limited.

This method is outdated!

The number of Dongying coalition troops is a lot of scary yes, outside the city of Omori, densely packed with camp tents, the number of Japanese robbers, at least more than 100,000, if judged by the cold weapon combat theory, with ten enemies, no matter how strong the city, it is impossible to defend, but unfortunately, the elite equipment of the Ming army at this time is basically muskets and artillery, and cold weapons are basically a dish in front of them.

The reason why Yang Cong let Yu Dayou take over the defense of Iwami Kingdom was to let the princes of Dongying understand that the heavenly army of the Ming Dynasty, they could not defeat at all, even if it was 10,000 to 100,000, they could beat them!

Of course, this is also a premise, the premise is that the Ming army defends, the Japanese attack, if it is a field encounter, it is difficult to say, after all, the Japanese are all madmen who don't want to die, if they ignore the rain of bullets, rush over in all directions, 10,000 elite Ming troops, even if they are equipped with more firearms, it is fake.

This is also the reason why Yang Cong did not attack the princes of Dongying in an all-round way, because launching a full-scale attack will inevitably encounter the desperate resistance of the princes of Dongying, not to mention too much, the army of 500,000 people can still be organized, and, as the attacker, the Ming army must face countless fortified cities, if it is fought one by one, I am afraid that the army of two or three hundred thousand is not enough, and at this time the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, if the army of two or three hundred thousand is gathered, the food and salary alone can drag down the imperial court.

Therefore, he chose to use the iron cannon to provoke the war of the princes of Dongying, so that they can consume their own strength, as long as they fight in a daze, they will definitely fight poorer and poorer, and the Ming Dynasty can earn a lot of money by virtue of the iron cannon income, so repeatedly, within ten years, Dongying will become weak, and it will be easy for Daming to take Dongying.

He didn't expect that the Toei shogunate would react so quickly, he had just provoked a big battle on Honshu Island, and the people had already organized a coalition army to come and surround him.

This kind of thing, naturally can't get used to them, if it's a field encounter or the Ming army to attack the city, he may have to think about it carefully, if it's just to defend the city, then there's nothing to think about, just be tough, fight until they are afraid!

Oda Nobunaga knew very well in his heart that the stone silver mine was the bait thrown by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the purpose of which was to make them tough with the Ming Dynasty, thereby consuming their strength.

This kind of little trick naturally can't play him.

After he led the army to arrive outside Omori City, he was not in a hurry to organize an attack, after all, this siege battle is not something that can be fought by running over, at least, you have to build some siege equipment first, and if you want to lead the army directly to rush up, it will definitely not be able to rush to the city wall.

It is common knowledge to build siege equipment, and no one will be stupid to raise objections, and he took advantage of the time to build siege equipment to organize the leaders of various armies to start discussing, and it is called discussing the distribution of Iwami silver mines.

Although Oda Nobunaga was appointed as the general of the Eastern Army, he was not so arrogant that no one was in sight, and all the princes, who led the army to participate in the war, he prepared a small table, and everyone knelt behind the small table to express their opinions and negotiate on an equal footing.

Of course, this is also a little trick he played, and this little trick is to make all the princes think that in this great war, everyone is equal, at least, in the distribution of interests.

As the princes sat down, Oda Nobunaga raised his hand and said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time the general appointed Nobunaga to lead the army to crusade against the rebellious Mori clan and expel the invaders of the Ming Dynasty. It is our duty to fight rebellion and expel foreign enemies, and I am honored to be the commander-in-chief. However, everyone is a hero, but Nobunaga was really scared to let Nobunaga be the commander. ”

Baga, what kind of is this?

Most of the princes here looked proud, you kid, it's good to be self-aware, don't think that you are so strong that you can point fingers and command everyone.

To be honest, at this time, everyone doesn't care much about who is the commander, after all, they are all here for the silver mine, what does it matter who is the commander, as long as we don't suffer a loss when we divide the silver.

Of course, everyone doesn't suffer, that's impossible!

Oda Nobunaga sneered in his heart, and continued to say aloud: "I won't say more nonsense, I guess everyone is more interested in the share of the Iwami silver mine, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the princes present really put away their proud expressions and showed expressions full of interest.

Oda Nobunaga sneered again in his heart, and then continued: "We have more than a dozen ways to guard the equal division, that is naturally unlikely, according to the strength, I believe that there are many people who are not convinced, so, I came up with a way, that is, according to the military merit, that is, whoever kills more enemies will share more, what do you think?" ”

This!

When all the princes heard this, they all showed surprise, and it was really a bit unexpected to divide it according to military merits.

However, when everyone thought about it carefully, they did not say anything against it, but nodded frequently to show that this method was fair.

Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga sneered even more in his heart.

These idiots know what Ashikaga Yoshiteru's plan is, but they don't know that he is planning it.

Didn't Ashikaga Yoshiteru want to use Iwami Silver Mine as bait to weaken everyone's strength, and he can also use Iwami Silver Mine as bait to weaken everyone's strength.

As for the ownership of the silver mine, it is not based on strength when the time comes, you still think that it is really based on military merits!
