Chapter 157: Carpet Intimidation-3

The longing for the land has been transformed into a violent vibration of the vocal cords, and the overwhelming shouts have enveloped this small continent city.

Kimura Shigenari had already covered his ears, and so did the samurai standing beside him.

Only the refugees behind them were still screaming hysterically about the land they were about to get, they didn't care that their ears were ringing, they just wanted to get the land that Corning had promised them as soon as possible.

Kimura gritted his teeth, raised his head, looked at the enemies in the city, and suddenly found that their expressions were just as painful as his own, it seemed that it was not only the huge crowd that made them tremble, but this earth-shattering shout had made their spiritual defense line almost collapse.

If he hadn't led his Ashigaru samurai to attack at this time, the castle would have been easily in his hands, but he couldn't do it without your orders, as Toyotomi Hideyori had repeatedly told him.

He doesn't know why the lord thinks so much about your ability to control you, to be honest, all the retainers, including Osamu Ohno, doubt this person's ability. Before leaving, Osamu Ohno even secretly approached him, and hinted that he could not obey Corning's orders at a special critical moment.

But now, Kimura won't choose to do that, because he's learned about Corning's capabilities. He is not only a dangerous person with great incitement, but also a terrifying person who can transform invisible voices into tangible weapons.

's accurate grasp of the psychology of the crowd made him feel the magic power of the devil. Standing in front of the devil, if he dares to perform his carving insect skills, it is very likely that he will be ruthlessly devoured by the devil.

So his final choice was to stand still and quietly wait for Corning's orders, and Corning. I just watched all this from afar, did not participate in it, and did not give the order to attack the city.

Kimura Shigenari glanced back in confusion, but he quickly turned his gaze back, because the enemy on the opposite side had made further moves. He immediately tensed his nerves and was ready to deal with the unexpected, however, to his surprise, as the gates slowly opened, all the samurai threw away their weapons and ran out and knelt on the ground.

And so they surrendered.

Kangning didn't know the importance of the city, but Kimura knew all about it. The castle is one of the best castles on the island. At that time, Yasuharu Wakisaka, one of the seven guns of Shidake, was the lord of this castle and received 32,000 stones.

It was only when he was transferred to other places that the city gradually lost its central position on the island.

Its importance was replaced by the good city. And the latter is exactly what they will attack next.

However, all this is in front of you. Still surprised Kimura Shigenari. Although, the West Gate Settlement is no longer the lord of this city. But for the sake of the samurai here, they shouldn't have given up resistance so quickly. It is unbelievable that the soldier trained by one of the 7 guns of the dignified and lowly Yue is so vulnerable.

The good news was soon sent to Corning, and Corning's order was outrageously simple.

Turn. Going to the next city they were going to attack, as for these samurai, let Kimura Shigetari arrange it, and his subordinates don't need the Japanese now. He said to himself confidently. In the future, relying on your own ability, you can find a leading party with sufficient quantity and excellent quality. The soldiers defending the city on this island do not deserve that kind of qualifications.

Kimura Shigenari didn't know he was thinking arrogantly. He just thinks that everything that is happening now is expected by this goddess-level military advisor. That's why he didn't fall into the same astonishment and ecstasy as himself.

This was the first time he had seen a battle example of how a city could be harvested without a single soldier.

Of course, he knows very well that this is not all your skills, what he sees today is only the tip of the iceberg, so how much ability this person who makes him feel a little worried is hidden behind his face that looks only fifteen or sixteen years old.

But before he could continue to sigh, Corning's latest order had already been issued.

Kimura Shigenari was asked to reorganize the samurai who had just surrendered, break up their original paper cuts, and integrate them into Kimura's loyal original troops, which was naturally the best choice.

The next thing is to make a simple marching plan like last time.

Only this time, Kimura Shigenari felt a stronger, even almost insane, drive that emanated from those refugees.

It seems that the success just now has boosted their morale, and it seems that they are one step closer to the land they want. In this way, their enthusiasm became much higher than at the beginning.

Kimura Shigetsunari originally thought that Corning had mobilized their emotions to a fairly high level, but he didn't expect that they could burst into such a fanatical passion.

Throughout the march, the samurai, who had already experienced many wars, showed even less passion than the refugees who had just arrived, and some of them even had a high fever, constantly receiving small pills from Kangning, whom their neighbors called miracle medicine. In fact, it was just a simple antipyretic medicine sold by Huang Lin from 400 years later.

Yura Castle appeared in their field of vision soon after, and although it was close to afternoon when they saw the city, the peasants did not hesitate to surround it, and they even urged Kimura Shigenari's soldiers to hurry in front of them, forming a layer of protection that was already unnecessary for Kimura Shigenari.

The defenders of Yura Castle were not much more capable of fighting than the previous castles, they knew their own combat effectiveness, and they knew better that in the face of such a number, even if they died in the service of the lord, they could not avoid the outcome of the war, not to mention that the person who appeared in front of them was the most trusted general under Toyotomi Hideyori.

Even if it is Kimura Shigesei's department, it is not something they can easily defeat, not to mention that behind Kimura Shigesei, there are countless black and oppressive peasants, who really have bad intentions, and can even be said to be murderous eyes, looking at them and the city they are defending.

The sound of the mountain and the tsunami shook the land again, and the rammed earth walls seemed to tremble, and his pores suddenly swelled as if he had seen a child like a beast.

The defender had already seen the crack under his feet, and he knew that it didn't make much sense to hold on like this, so he made a wise choice that anyone would make.

Once again, Kimura Shigenari proved to be victorious, and he continued to follow Canning's orders to break up the surrendered army.

After all these things, it was already dark. Most of the refugees had already rested on the spot, and Kimura finally had time to climb up the castle tower to see how terrifying the formation of the refugees was.

Soon, he got the answer.

"I remembered something." He said to Kang Ning beside him, "That's what Boss Huang gave to my father-in-law, and he is still laying it in his bedroom." It was a cashmere carpet from Boss. The lord liked the carpet very much, and every time he stepped on it, he tried to take it as lightly as possible. He didn't even want to see the fluff on the carpet, trampled on by his feet. He wished they had been standing, and we still don't understand why she thought that way. But today, I may be able to understand a thing or two. Look at these refugees, under your command, standing tenaciously like cashmere wool on a stall. They are gathered here in such a way that from our current perspective, it looks like a huge carpet. Their spirits were burning, and small flames gathered into a sea of fire, and the frenzy was overflowing with a scorching breath, and no city could hold on to it in the face of this huge momentum. ”

Kangning waved his hand and said with a smile: "Things are not what you say, you know, this is just an inferior country." Although it was developed relatively early, it did not attract enough attention after all. If we were besieging other countries, I am afraid that such a plan would not have succeeded. The whole island is only about 50 square kilometers, and more than 100,000 people gather at once, which can naturally produce a momentum that makes the locals fearful. ”

"So that's the case, I thought I had found a strategy that could win every battle without wasting a single soldier!"

Kangning laughed: "What are you talking about, only blood and steel are the foundation of victory in the war." ”

Kimura Shigenari's eyes slowly widened, he seemed to have heard something from Kangning that could directly penetrate into his heart, and if he could produce this feeling, it should be called the truth!

Over the next few days, Kangning and Kimura Shigenari continued their strategy, and at the same time, the fall of Yura Castle and Sumoto Castle was soon known to the other cities on the island, and their will to resist became weak.

Kimura Shigenari's secret report also reached the hands of Toyotomi Hideyori soon after, and the compliments of Kangning made Toyotomi Hideyori have greater expectations for this alliance.

Of course, his heart was not without doubts. If Tokugawa Ieyasu had known about this, would he have attacked without understanding the end of the preparations, and if that was the case, he would have become more passive if he was more inadequately prepared.

It is hoped that Katagiri and Moto, who were dispatched to the Tokugawa side, will be able to bring him good news. (To be continued.) )
