Chapter 293: The Siege (4)
Oda Nobunaga looked at the papaya flag and the golden umbrella horse seal standing not far away, his face was cold and colorless, but his eyes flashed with a cold glint that was not easy to detect.
Sabei suddenly felt a chill behind him, and then when Oda Nobunaga's eyes caught up with him, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and pretended that I had done nothing, and quickly dropped his gaze on Nagashima Castle.
Although Oda Nobunaga did not catch up with Sabei's gaze, he still realized that the gaze was from Sabei. So Oda Nobunaga snorted lightly, not knowing whether it was disdain or ridicule.
Oda Nobunaga's cold snort disappeared in the battle of Nagashima Castle in an instant, and Sabei naturally didn't hear it. After escaping Oda Nobunaga's gaze, Sabei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately devoted himself to watching the battle of Nagashima Castle.
In the gloomy sky, raindrops were still flying sparsely towards the ground. A raindrop that was different from the usual pearl fell rapidly, and then hit Oda Nobutada's handsome face looking up at the sky.
Oda Nobutada was stunned for a moment after being hit by the huge raindrops, and then said with a smile to Shibata Katsumasa beside him: "If the rain becomes so heavy again, coupled with the help of the wind, I am afraid that the iron cannon of Long Island City will gradually lose its advantage!" β
After hearing this, Tokii Katsu on the side bowed his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, if the rain becomes heavier again, the difficulty of the family's siege will also increase, which is not a good thing!" β
Oda Nobutada looked at Katsu Dokii and then laughed and asked, "Can you capture Nagashima Castle today?" β
After hearing this, Dokii Katsu smiled bitterly, and then said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, with today's situation, it is indeed impossible to break through Nagashima City in one fell swoop!" But today is indeed the best chance to break the city! β
Oda Nobutada nodded and said: "That's true, but it's very difficult for Shichibei and Yiyi to break the city, even if the reputation of Shichibei and Yiyi will make Nagashima Castle fearful, but the materials hoarded by Nagashima Castle are enough to support them for a long time!" β
"If the city can't be broken today, there will be an additional barrier outside Long Island City tomorrow, and this barrier will allow the family to fill it with more lives!" Sabei looked up at Oda Nobunaga beside him, and then obediently waited for Oda Nobunaga, who looked up to feel the raindrops, to reply to him.
After looking up at the sky for a few breaths, Oda Nobunaga laughed and said to Sabei beside him: "In order to conquer Nagashima Ichiku, the family has lost several names, do you say this is an ominous place for the family?" β
Sabei was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer Oda Nobunaga's question. After being stunned for a few moments, Sabei said to Oda Nobunaga: "My lord, I am willing to lead my troops to go around Nagashima Castle to dig through the trenches and release the rainwater that may gather, so as not to let Nagashima Castle use this as a barrier to resist the attack of my own family!" β
After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga and many people in the vicinity all looked at Sabei. Seeing this, Sabei pressed the saber on his waist and said, "I hope the lord agrees!" β
After listening to Sabei's words, Oda Nobunaga set his eyes on the place where the papaya flag stood, and after a few breaths, Oda Nobunaga turned around and agreed to Sabei's proposal.
As a result, the Ming Guard, who was originally sitting in the shed to supervise the requisition, reappeared on the front line of the siege. Tsuda Nobusumi, who was commanding his troops to climb the castle on a wooden ladder, was reminded by his close ministers to turn around and see the Marunouchi Guardian flag.
Just as Tsuda Nobusumi was about to send someone to plead with Oda Nobutada, his close ministers pointed to the black-background military flag that was blown by the wind in the rain. Tsuda Nobusumi followed his fingers and saw countless people digging with farm tools, and Sabei under the Ming Wei family crest was waving at him.
Tsuda Nobusumi stabilized his mind and was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, when he saw Sabei's one-eyed Meijiro and the tall Fujido Takatora coming to him.
After listening to the two of them, Tsuda Nobusumi was stunned for a moment, and then said to the two of them with a smile: "Okay, you say hello to Sabei on my behalf, I will definitely protect your thoughtfulness, so that the crowd will not dare to disturb you and others!" β
After that, Tsuda Nobusumi ordered his retainers: "Let the withdrawn troops repair and then rush forward!" β
Seeing that Tsuda Nobusumi was so desperate to attack the castle, Fushiwa Akijiro and Fujido Takatora bowed their heads to Tsuda Shinsumi, and then quickly retreated from the siege army.
Sabei, who was supervising the excavation of the people, saw Akijiro Fushiwa and Takatora Fujido, who had retreated from the front line, and asked them about the progress of the siege before and after they arrived. After the two debriefed, they were sent by Sabei to supervise the excavation of the trench that had been filled in by the corpses.
Sabei looked at the corpse that had been carried out by the people, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but this idea was then rejected by himself.
After consulting the "samurai" who oversaw them, the people dragged the samurai with business cards on their armor out of the pile of corpses. Later, some of the men carried the samurai to rickshaws, and under the rain, the people dragged the corpses back to the main camp.
Standing on a small mound and pointing at the country, Sabei looked at the corpses that had been randomly piled aside, and the previous thoughts came back to his mind. After a few breaths of silence, Sabei summoned Akijiro Fushiwa, Suzuki Heavy Industries, and others to his side. After Sabei explained his point, everyone fell silent. Seeing this, Sabei looked around at the retainers in front of him in silence, and then whispered to the retainers: "Don't talk about this matter with outsiders for the time being!" I'll think about it again! βγ
After hearing this, the retainers nodded, and then after looking at each other, they went to continue to supervise the people's digging of the earth. But apparently Sabei's words had already made the hearts of all the retainers tremble, and even Akijiro Fushiwa almost fell due to the slippery road in the rain!
