Chapter 453: Anger (2)
Although Ichiro's attitude towards Tokugawa was also very respectful, anyone with a discerning eye could hear from his words that it was not the same thing.
As a deputy general, Ichiro has another identity, he is a relative of the emperor of the Wa Kingdom, which is equivalent to a prince in the Qing Dynasty.
Tokugawa was the supreme commander in Natsujo, and Prince Ichiro was only his lieutenant here, but he didn't have to be afraid of Tokugawa like the others.
After listening to Ichiro's explanation, Tokugawa groaned for a while, he looked at Ichiro with a smile, and opened his mouth to say, "Then according to what you said, what should we do next?" ”
This has made it clear that Tokugawa wants to transfer the current problem to Ichiro. Tokugawa's actions were well known to the rest of the people here, and it was because of this that they never dared to respond.
Ichiro raised his eyes and looked at Tokugawa, his face was still unfazed, and he said very indifferently: "It's very simple, immediately send someone to inform the people stationed in the open sea to come back." Only by combining the strength of the whole army and surrounding the entire summer city can it be possible to defeat these enemies hiding in the shadows with the least losses. ”
Tokugawa's face immediately sank, and he could see that he was very angry at the moment, but he didn't dare to say anything serious because of Ichiro's identity.
Lin and Biao's understanding is that there are 10,000 Japanese soldiers stationed in the open sea. In fact, there were more than 30,000 Japanese in the open sea, and this huge fleet was the sum of almost all the maritime military strength of the Japanese state.
It will be stationed in the open sea of Summer City because it is an excellent transit point. Whether it is the Japanese mainland, Xiacheng or Guangdong, the Japanese can start from here to support one of them at any time.
It is precisely for this reason that when it is not a matter of life and death, it is easy and never allowed to transfer this fleet. Once transferred, any accident occurred later, and it was not something that Tokugawa, a general, could afford.
Because of Tokugawa's concerns, his first reaction was that Ichiro was pushing him into the fire pit, which made him so angry when he first heard these words.
Ichiro could already see what he was thinking from Tokugawa's reaction, but he was indifferent, anyway, it was Tokugawa who was in charge. No matter what happens afterwards, he must bear it, and he can't run away!
After a long time, Tokugawa seemed to have figured it out, and he gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, "Yes, Ichiro's proposal was accepted by Shogun Ben." Now I don't know how many enemies there are, there are more than a thousand people left in the city, and after such a long time, there is no reaction, and they must have all died in battle. ”
"So now that the situation is urgent, General Ben has decided to take Ichiro's proposal and send overseas troops to support."
Tokugawa repeatedly emphasized that this was Ichiro's proposal, and it was clear that he didn't want Ichiro to stay out of it. Then he sent a herald to change to a small boat and go at full speed to bring in the rescue.
Ichiro's calm face finally showed a hint of displeasure at this moment, but he still didn't say anything in the end, and he didn't prove his innocence.
It has been a long time since the first wave of temptation of the Japanese Invaders, but Ye Shaolong still did not wait for any movement from the Japanese Invaders. At this point, he had already begun to wonder if the pirates had withdrawn.
But when he saw the two ships still on the shore, he knew that the would-be wouldn't leave.
Ye Shaolong was very puzzled: "It doesn't make sense!" The usual temperament of this widow is not to hit the south wall and not look back, what is the matter tonight, after sending out dozens of small minions to test it, there is no follow-up. It's so weird, I can't figure out what they're measuring? ”
Ye Shaolong muttered to himself, but Lin Biao beside him heard it clearly.
He suddenly thought that there were still Japanese soldiers stationed overseas, and immediately reminded Ye Shaolong urgently: "Overseas, there are still about 10,000 Japanese troops stationed overseas, so this will be waiting for reinforcements to arrive, right?" ”
"There are still more than 10,000 Japanese pirates stationed overseas?" Ye Shaolong exclaimed.
Lin Biao nodded in affirmation, and then said: "There may be more than 10,000 people, and if those people come, we will be in danger." ”
When Ye Shaolong heard that there were still more than 10,000 people in the Japanese Kou, his first thought was to retreat. After all, there were only more than 4,000 people on his side, and in the face of more than ten times the number of Japanese robbers, all Ye Shaolong's confidence was suddenly gone.
"Are you sure there are so many people overseas?" Ye Shaolong did not give up, and confirmed again.
"There will be more, not less." Lin and Biao were also simply and directly broke Ye Shaolong's luck.
Ye Shaolong really hesitated, once the Japanese really called more than 10,000 reinforcements, then the 4,000 soldiers in front of him would be in danger.
"Ye Shuai, why don't we just withdraw!" Lin Biao looked unwilling, but he was reluctant to test the lives of the brothers of the Lin family.
To Lin and Biao's surprise, Ye Shaolong's answer to him was to see Ye Shaolong shake his head again and again and said, "It's obviously too late to retreat now." ”
"Why?" Lin and Biao don't understand, the Japanese haven't made any moves yet, this is a good time to retreat, but Ye Shaolong said that it was too late, which is really incomprehensible.
Ye Shaolong smiled bitterly: "If I'm not mistaken, those wouldn't have besieged Xia City from the sea. ”
Lin and Biao didn't seem to believe what Ye Shaolong said: "It's absolutely impossible, the Japanese can only blockade the sea at most, and as for the land, they don't dare to go ashore easily now." ”
Ye Shaolong once again denied Lin Biao's words: "You are wrong, this will probably have come ashore and surrounded us in this summer city, and we will have a turtle in an urn." ”
As if to confirm Ye Shaolong's guess, he saw that the two ships that were originally docked on the shore suddenly began to move, and slowly leaned to the side, freeing up a huge place.
Soon, the samurai sent out by Tokugawa returned and reported to Tokugawa that things were going well, and that reinforcements had arrived behind.
Tokugawa asked them to step back satisfied, and then grinned, "Or, you will command Ichiro's battle?" ”
Ichiro hesitated for a moment, and then unceremoniously took the hot potato, and he said with a smile: "Of course, there is no problem if you want me to take over, but I need complete command power." ”
Tokugawa didn't hesitate and quickly agreed. From the very beginning, Tokugawa wanted to get rid of this hot potato. Now it was strange that Ichiro had agreed to his request.
Ichiro, however, remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the difficult task given to him by Tokugawa.
The four Japanese ships soon docked, and Ichiro immediately ordered all the officers and men on board to go ashore and stand by. Then let those ships that were already empty sail out of port.
