Chapter 41: The Great Battle in Kyoto (7)

With Fujido's decisive stop-loss exit, the intensity of the battle on the Kyoto side began to decrease, and a large number of militants saw that Nobunaga's army began to withdraw, and they could neither defeat the evil spirits scattered around, nor were they the opponents of the Xiyi Red Clothes Army that had just appeared.

In that case, of course, let's take the looted belongings and women and run away with Fujido-sama!

It's just that they can run, but the Riberians can't.

Supplies were not collected quickly, and the previous shelling, although clearing large areas of the enemy, also had a serious impact on the collection process.

What's more, when the people of Riberia encounter an army of evil spirits, they instantly fall into a state of rage - Riberia is destroyed at the hands of the undead and the plague, and the enemies meet each other and fight!

As a result, the battlefield of Kyoto gradually upgraded from a medieval war model rich in swords and magic to a modern war of iron and fire.

The fleet, which received news from the front, did not follow Catherine's instructions and directly sent a large number of small boats to transport the marines, and the roar of the platoon guns became louder and louder.

Catherine looked out the window with a melancholy expression, completely ignoring the Riberian soldiers who were busy robbing around her, and the family of Emperor Tokusho who were hiding on the side.

"General Catherine, I wonder how much more you have to carry?" Emperor Tokusho couldn't help but ask, the things in the palace were about to be emptied, and they didn't let go of those carps.

"What's the matter, His Majesty the Emperor is distressed?"

"It's not ...... Just wondering what you're going to do next, there's more and more gunfire outside......"

"Gunshots......"

Catherine couldn't help but sigh, in the face of national hatred and family hatred, the officers left behind still couldn't hold back, there must be a large army landing to have such gunfire.

Killing the army of the undead here may calm their anger and release the emotions that have not been vented for a long time, but the question is what to do after that.

"Consume a lot of ammunition, supplies, and soldiers' lives, if there is not enough loot......"

"You seem to be worried about the loot?"

Catherine glanced at Emperor Tokusho suspiciously, wondering why the island emperor seemed a little ...... Aggressive?

"What advice does His Majesty have for you?"

"Of course!" Emperor Tokusho nodded with a serious face, "I know where there are enough supplies and ammunition, and the garrison force is not worth mentioning. ”

"There is such a place, but Kyoto is full of thugs, so it shouldn't still exist in the place you said, right?"

"The thugs don't have private guards, I'm talking about the Kyoto Minister's family!"

Seeing Catherine's puzzled look, Emperor Tokusho immediately explained: "You didn't know that it was indeed Oda Nobunaga who had the most supplies in Kyoto, but the ministers hid a lot in their hands!" ”

"Every year, two-thirds of Kyoto's taxes are used to pay the ministers, and I have to give subsidies to these so-called court officials at any time, and the expenses of the charcoal and summer mess are too much, not to mention that Nobunaga and the military generals from all over the country want to gain fame, and they have to follow their path."

"In addition, the vast majority of the large farms on the outskirts of Kyoto are controlled by the ministers, and the local farmers have been slaves for generations, so they can only recruit serfs to farm, and even the only few fields in the royal family have to take out eighty percent of the harvest as the cost of hiring farmers, which cannot be bargained!"

"It's really hard for you to tolerate such unscrupulousness among the high-ranking nobles...... Catherine never expected the emperor's life to be so miserable.

But what's the matter with her?

As a Xiyi and a colonist, as long as you can reap enough benefits, it is also easy to help the emperor eliminate those nobles by the way.

"So you can lead troops to attack the ministers, there will definitely be no trouble, even if Oda Nobunaga wants to send troops to stop it, it won't be a few days away."

"I see...... Then lead the way! Assemble, soldiers! ”

Yanagi Ichichi sat in the courtyard of his house, watching the once carefully guarded garden being blown into ruins by cannonballs, and those damn Xiyi also killed a dozen or so samurai who guarded the courtyard, which was really a headache.

There are also evil spirits that are constantly roaring outside, but fortunately, there are a few onmyoji, although the technology is not very good, it can still organize the invasion of evil spirits, so it doesn't matter.

But Kyoto was also destroyed in this catastrophe, and I knew that I shouldn't have agreed to join any thief meeting in the first place, and I didn't see much good, but there were too many disadvantages.

At this time, several retainers ran over, "Lord Yanagi, something is wrong!" ”

"What's going on here? There's a lot going on in Kyoto today, right? ”

"The catastrophe in Kyoto is not over yet, but those Xiyi Chong ministers are here!"

"What did you say!?"

Yanagi looked at the retainers in disbelief, and the other party could only nod sadly, "My lord, let's hurry up and find a way, the Shimada family has gathered a group of ministers and guards to prepare to deal with Xiyi ......"

"They're idiots! With so many iron cannons in his hands and a general's gunboat, how could he be their opponent with just a few katana and spears? ”

"What Yagyu-sama said is that the problem is that the Shimada family feels that they have a great advantage, so what should we do now?"

"What to do...... Forget it, pack your things and run! ”

"Huh?"

"There's no way around it, but fortunately, I've already prepared transportation, and I have foreign friends to help."

Yanagi clapped his hands, and soon a maid came with a white-haired man in a black robe, "What a slack, please atone for your sins, Mr. Yuri Orlov." ”

"Nothing, Mr. Yanagi decided to leave?"

"Yes, I just don't know if I can safely go to the Tokugawa family's territory?"

"There is no problem with everything according to my arrangement, of course, you don't forget to pay."

"Of course, it's just ...... You leave without permission, you won't have a problem, right? ”

"No, let's go."

"It's also ......"

While Yanagi Ichijo was making a secret deal with Yurioloff, Catherine joined a large group of men, a total of more than 1,000 Riberian infantry, and under the guidance of Emperor Tokusho, they slaughtered the gathering place of the minister's house.

At this moment, in front of them, there were about fifteen hundred people leading the two samurai to block the army, and the middle-aged samurai with a bow and arrow looked at Xiyi and smiled.

"Brother, you see those Xiyi came to die, it's time for them to see how powerful the Shimada family is!"

"What you are saying is that the blade in my hand thirsts for blood, and the sinful will be punished by the Buddha."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, and even the rabble behind them were infected, laughing there like a group of neurological patients.

"What are they laughing at? Catherine looked at the Emperor in confusion, "This ...... It may be that following the example of the ancient generals, talking and laughing in front of the enemy army helps to increase morale...... Right? ”
