"This is the cannon of the Shimazu Army! It's really 'simple'......" I circled around the two loots and reached out and patted them. Although I felt quite disdainful, there were a lot of greedy eyes around me.

With the defeat of the forward troops, the Shimazu army began to flee backwards in full force, leaving behind the ordnance baggage all over the mountains, the most eye-catching of which were these two cannons.

These two cannons were of Portuguese importance, probably in the category of two hundred to three hundred pounds each, and they looked rather old. The outer edge of the muzzle has been worn to a considerable extent, and the remaining shells will not be of a very heavy type.

"Just because of this thing, it almost ruined my big thing!" Suddenly, I was angry and angry, and I kicked one of them hard. Just two things that have been fast-forwarded into the museum can actually cause such a huge psychological deterrent to the troops of these wealthy clans, I really didn't expect it before.

The scale of equipment in Kyushu iron artillery is indeed incomparable to that of the eastern country, not to mention the Otomo family, the Shimazu family, and even the defeated Ryuzoji family is more than the Takeda family in the east. But the quality of the generals here is really far worse than that over there, and the vast majority of soldiers have no dependence on their commanders at all, let alone any faith to defend to the death. A group of "bearded soldiers" who cannot be defeated after winning have known that it is better for me to use deterrence first. Judging from what happened just now, it seems that someone from the Shimazu family has already formulated a method for firearms and started to implement it! This matter must be taken seriously, and maybe some inside story can be dug up.

"Huh?" I happened to look back and see the people around me, looking lost and dejected, as if I had kicked them in the body. This is really a bunch of hillbillies who have never seen the market, misers through and through. "How's the situation with the Shimazu Army?" I pretended not to notice their expressions.

"The Shimazu army has all been defeated to the south, and we have not found any trace of the enemy for 10 miles on both flanks, so it seems that there will be no problems!" Gamo took two steps forward, a subtle smile on his lips. Obviously, he also discovered the inner thoughts of the people around him, and gave me a few glances that only I could understand.

"Since that's the case, then let's attack with all our troops!" I smiled and said in a light-hearted tone, and the decision seemed natural. "The Shimazu army came with the momentum of wind and thunder, but it was first frustrated by Chikugo, and then defeated by Ogawa, and at this moment the morale of the army must have been extremely bad. As long as we attack quickly and act quickly, maybe here in Hyuga, we can completely annihilate the main force of Shimazu. This is an opportunity to make an immortal achievement, and I hope you will do your best to serve the court! As I spoke, my gaze swept to dozens of faces, both far and near.

"His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou is really too clever, and I sincerely worship you!" Yoshisuke Ito looked very moved by the tears again, and I did see the light of seeing the "great savior" in his eyes. "Shimazu is the source of trouble in Kyushu, and today the West Sea has been stable ever since. To be able to make a historical witness to your supreme deeds is really a glorious accumulating eternity! I just ask you to command, I'm Yoshiyo Ito and I will never give up! His attitude was very good, and he did speak impassionedly, but there were only a paltry two hundred men left under him.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou, do you want to be cautious......" Otomo Zonglin said hesitantly, not so much hesitation as pain. He still has a net worth of hundreds of thousands of stones, so naturally it is impossible for him to be as impulsive as Ito Yoshiyu. "The Shimazu clan has always been treacherous, and they are known for their treacherous ways when they use soldiers. It was here two years ago that they pretended to be defeated and fled and threw away a lot of baggage, which made me fall for them. Although our army is strong now, the Shimazu army is not fighting hard. Whether there will be other changes in it, I hope to give it to His Highness the state to investigate in detail! ”

His words were met with a chorus of approval, and several people from the Ryuzao Temple system were even more explicit. The time when they suffered was closer, so it must be more and more fresh in their memory.

I did not make a strong statement, but at the same time I noted that the attacking forces had been regrouped and deployed in a split pursuit arrangement. I don't want to be too tough for the sake of future happiness, but I have to make them realize that I am smarter and stronger than them.

It should be said that there is indeed a certain danger in such a pursuit, and the strength of the Shimazu army has not been damaged by the muscles and bones, although the so-called "fishing and ambushing" tactics have been used in Kyushu and can no longer be abused, but at the moment they have no other way. Although I did not bring armoured horsemen with me during this operation, 1,800 Cossack light cavalry remained hidden in my rear army. When the battle was in full swing in the Ear River just now, the Cossacks had already bypassed far downstream, and now as long as the Shimazu army ambushed and lured the enemy troops to attack, the big thing was almost settled!

"With such a strong combat power of ours, even if the Shimazu army has an ambush!" I said with my chest held high and dismissive, expressing a certain contempt for the caution of the people in front of me. "The Shimazu army fled in a hurry, and I am afraid that there are less than 20,000 men and horses who can fight. Not only is our morale high but also fully equipped, as long as it is properly deployed, there will be no problems. The Imperial Court and His Royal Highness the Inner Government attach great importance to Kyushu, and they are still waiting for you to establish miraculous achievements! I ended up threatening Oda Nobunaga again.

"This ......" Everyone looked at each other for a while, and it seemed that this time they couldn't prevaricate. A few quick-witted minds have realized by this time that this is actually a matter of principle.

"Let's work hard, these two captured cannons will be used as a reward for the first meritorious!" On a whim, I wanted to take advantage of the legacy of the Shimazu family, and it was most likely that they had given me "bait".

***********************************************

"Do you think these guys will give it their all?" Looking at the backs of the daimyo scattered away, I asked the Gamo clan around me, who had just finished arranging the siege work.

"I don't dare to say it with all my strength, but I definitely don't dare if I'm too lazy!" He looked at the besieged Gaocheng not far to the south, where more than 10,000 troops were making final preparations for the siege. "The Mori family has withdrawn from Kyushu, so what will the Shimazu family do if they win this battle. These people must think clearly: whether it is better to retain their strength and leave a half-hearted impression of the Oda family, or whether it is cost-effective to simply hang themselves on the tree of the Oda family! What's more, there are also the chips temporarily added by His Highness, which can't be regarded as a big temptation for these people! ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I was going to do!" I nodded, and all that was left of the troops was a few vague shadows and smoke. "In fact, these people have been tied to the Oda family, but they may still have some instinctive resistance in their hearts for a while. I just want to break down this barrier and let them carefully understand their relationship with the Oda family! "It occurred to me that this seemed to be a bit similar to *, and it was a very strange association.

"Your Highness, have you come up with any clever plans?" Seeing my mysterious smile, the Gamo clan whispered nearby.

"Oh? No...... No! I hurriedly dispelled the cranky thoughts in my head, and said solemnly: "Nine out of nine of the Shimazu family are going to die and struggle, and our preparations should be stricter!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, everything is arranged in order!" The Gamo clan smiled slightly, and then added a little for me. "According to the subordinates, the backlash of the Shimazu army is ten out of ten, and I'm afraid there will be some other variables!"

"Oh, how so?" I was noncommittal, just asked rhetorically.

"This trick has been used on almost everyone in Kyushu, if it is brought out without moving, it will inevitably be a small contempt for His Highness!" Gamo shook his head slightly, but I could sense a faint smugness in his tone. "I think there must have been a lot of controversy within Shimazu beforehand, and it was a catastrophe to see it, but Shimazu has always won by taking risks, and this time I am afraid I will not be willing to surrender without trying once. In those years, against Sagara and Ito, and later against Otomo and Ryuzoji, the Shimazu family won with a surprise attack of less and more. They have both experience and luck in this set, how can they not fight this time! ”

"Luck? I've never lacked this kind of stuff! "My mood is getting more and more relaxed, and it seems that the Shimazu family is trying to test my strengths. Since Gamo Township is so sure, then I won't ask anymore. In fact, judging from the secret mobilization order a few days ago, I can already roughly guess his intentions.

"Your Highness, can you start?" The Gamo clan asked me for instructions, and he was referring to the attack on Takajo.

"Oh!" I looked in that direction, and the sun was harsher, and the heat was getting worse. "Does it have to be at this time? It's a little hard for the soldiers! ”

Surrounding Takashiro Castle were Keiji Maeda, Shinyuki Hosokawa, Juntachi Omura, Michiyuki Tachibana, Tahara Kinken, and Kamune's pro-Thai tribes, with a total strength of about 15,000 men. Although the number of troops captured was sufficient, most of them had already fought just now, and it seemed a little unkind to order the siege immediately.

"His Royal Highness's love for soldiers like a son is certainly admired by his subordinates, but now is not the time!" Hearing my words, the Gamo clan suddenly raised his head, as if he saw a big monster. "Please don't forget, Your Highness, that this battle is a crucial battle related to the stability of Kyushu. If at this time, slackening gives Shimazu a chance to take advantage of it, it will be too late to regret it! ”

"Oh......" I naturally heard the meaning of the complaint in his words, but I was confused for a moment when I thought about it. The last "killer move" of the Shimazu army has not yet been used, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no spies in the vicinity, and if they see that I am not attacking Takashiro but the whole army is on guard, then maybe another result will happen. "It's better for you to arrange it! I might be a little hot and confused......" I shook my head, and when I calmed down, I felt a little groggy indeed.

"Yes!" After bowing, he looked at me again, as if he felt more and more unable to see through it.

"Wait!" Suddenly, I stopped him again. "Double-check again, don't make any loopholes!"
