Chapter 594: Flooding Takamatsu City
Boom, the surging river is like an army of thousands of horses, unstoppable! The flood beast directly followed the water diversion project and poured into the low-lying Takamatsu Castle, which was surrounded by an embankment.
"Wow!" The flood poured into the city, and the defenders were in confusion and fled to the heights.
However, Takamatsu Castle itself is a flat castle, and there is no high place. Everyone had to climb the city wall and climb to the rooftop, and even Shimizu Soji ran to the top of the castle tower.
"Water! Water! Wow, ahhhh "Patches of ashigaru were swept up by the rushing river and then relentlessly swallowed up.
"Help! Help me! A ashigaru clung to the eaves, and the river "pulled" under his waist.
"Come on! Come on! There were three or four ashigaru in the house, shouting at him, but no one dared to come near the eaves to pull him. The torrential rain continued, and the entire eaves were covered with turbulent water columns, and if you were not careful, you could slide into the water.
"Help... Life... Yes!!! In the end, he couldn't hold on, and was suddenly dragged to the bottom by the river, never to be seen again.
Shimizu Soji looked at the ocean in the city, and his heart sank to the bottom: "It's over... It's all over..."
Not only did a large number of defenders drown in the city, but even the grain in the granary was soaked in water, and the flooding river instantly put them in a desperate situation!
"Oh my God! Look! Takamatsu Castle is flooded! ”
"Oh my God! How is this possible! ”
"Wow! This... This... It's horrible! Naturally, the Maori troops on Mt. Iwasaki and Mt. Hinata saw this tragic scene, and their hearts were filled with fear for this miraculous scene, and their morale immediately fell to the bottom.
Psychological warfare refers to the psychological contest between two sides in war or confrontational competition. In order to achieve victory, both sides usually exert psychological stimulation and influence on the other. The specific methods are: infiltration and differentiation, camouflage and deception, psychological deterrence, emotional injury, suggestion inducement, etc. The principle to be followed: to one's own strengths, attack the other's shortcomings; Surprise and attack unprepared; induce the other party to be paralyzed; exerting mental pressure on the other party and forming a psychological burden; Weaken the fighting spirit and cohesion of the other party.
Ever since he saw Odawara Castle's classic bloodless tactics, Hosokawa has always wanted to use it himself. Today, psychological deterrence has finally been successfully formed with the help of water attacks.
"Report! Lord! It's a big deal! Takamatsu Castle... Takamatsu Castle..."Inside the Ape Castle, the world ghost politician stumbled into the house.
"Damn! Frizzy! What exactly is going on! What the hell happened to Takamatsu Castle? Could it be that it is lost? When Mori Terumen saw his appearance, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing, and he had prepared for the worst.
If Takamatsu Castle is broken, then they will have to retreat to this Ape Castle. Retreating step by step was the worst they could do before they came.
"No... Not yet..."The world ghost Zhengren stammered, he also saw the earth-shattering water, and the thousands of floating corpses that washed out of the city!
"Humph! Since you haven't lost it, what are you doing in a panic! Bastard! As soon as Mori Terumoto heard that Takamatsu Castle was still there, he immediately reprimanded in an unkind tone. In his opinion, the loss of Takamatsu Castle is the worst news, and since it has not been lost, there is nothing to worry about.
"But... But... It's no different from losing it anymore... And... And..."The world ghost government is full of the tragic situation of Takamatsu Castle.
"What the hell is going on! Let's be clear! "Mori Terumoto looked down on this reckless ninja leader more and more, and he didn't have the shrewdness and steadiness of the previous leader.
"It's... It's like this..."Shigui Zhengren hurriedly explained in detail the situation of flooding Takamatsu Castle.
"What! How so! What about the military heart? How is the morale of the military? Through the description of the world ghost political appointment, Maori Terumoto can imagine the shocking effect.
"Very... Very bad... There are a lot of wealthy families who have started... Begin... Shaken ... Sugihara-sama has ordered the ninjas to strictly investigate those who have different intentions. The World Ghost Zhengren lowered his head, for fear that the Lord Guild would be furious.
"What! Damn it! Have they all forgotten the kindness of their own family to them? Damn! Sure enough, Mori Terumoto roared like thunder, because he knew that this was the most terrible thing.
The Maori family was originally a wealthy association, composed of large and small Chinese lords, and the Maori family was an alliance leader, and all these credits were due to Maori Yuan.
The prosperity of the Mori family has to mention that the 52nd Governor of the Mori Family, since the rebellion of the Mototsuna, the siege of the mountain castle of Yoshida County, etc., has been fighting for a long time, laying the opportunity for the Mori clan to resist the western attack in the north. At the same time, he also created a new thinking of "Maori and two rivers", which laid a solid foundation for the long-term war of the Maori family.
The successful capture of Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa fully shows the old side of Mori Moto's wisdom and excess. At the same time, through the capture of the Kobayakawa family and the close connection with the Seto pirates, the Mori family successfully took the first step towards the "Naval Daimyo", and also opened a new page from the goal of the previous "Yasui No. 1": Western hegemony.
In fact, the spirit of the two rivers also has both external and internal meanings. One of them is that adhering to the spirit of "alliance and strengthening" of the previous Maori family, Katsura, Anado, Naito and other genealogical retainers were also distant relatives who were drawn over by the ancestors of their in-laws. As a result, the goal of "Anyun No. 1" was also faster than attacking, and at the same time, the Maori clan slowly absorbed from these small wealthy clans to form their own retainers.
Compared with the powerful daimyo of other famous families, the Maori family does not have a particularly proud ancestor hero, and there is no particularly powerful ancestor of Zhongxing, and his Maori family is actually from a similar background to other small wealthy families such as Sanbei and Tajima. This means that the Mori clan has a serious lack of heritage, so it can be said that the Mori clan began to really form a group of retainers belonging to the daimyo level from here in the Mori Yuan.
But in this way, the cohesion is slower to consolidate, and the Maori Yuan can still control the retainers while they are still alive. However, after his death, coupled with the fact that it was passed down from generation to generation, the "Liangchuan System" that was originally used to assist the clan family could not be lost, and gradually became a bloated tumor.
Naturally, he suffered greatly, on the one hand, he not only had a great grandfather, but also two great uncles, which was a special case of extreme deformity. Moreover, many retainers have high hopes for Hui Yuan, hoping that he can reproduce the "myth of Yuan", which makes him under a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, because Maori Terumen had a glorious grandfather, there was no room for performance before he took over as the governor. As a result, now that the power has fallen, government affairs have to be handed over to Longjing and Yuanchun, coupled with the discord between Longjing and Yuanchun, many Chinese lords have begun to discount Huiyuan's orders.
At this time of crisis, it is a question mark how many people can continue to be of the same mind and mind as the Maori family. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
