"Ladies and gentlemen! The blindless mud-legged ones are coming soon, and although our army is elite and the city is strong, I still hope that everyone will not take it lightly! ”

Before the people arrived, Saito Rizo was already shouting,

"I have ordered Higuchi-sama and Kinoshita Hidenaga to gather the peasants and evacuate the townspeople, and I hope you will be aware that the gates of Uozu Castle will not be open to anyone until the crowd retreats. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Speaking of this, Li San also deliberately took a look at Akai Teruko.

"It's still a little time before the enemy comes to the city, so if you have a plan, you might as well speak up."

When he finished speaking, he looked at Usami Dingmi, who was sitting at the bottom of the room.

Among all the people present, of course, he Saito Rizo has the highest rank and the greatest military power, but in terms of qualifications, he is far less than Usami.

Since Dingman became Chengzheng's retainer, he has secretly helped Chengzheng implement many plans, among which there are few conspiracies and many conspiracies, and most of them are unknown.

But Saito Rizo, as a henchman of Naimasa, naturally understands the role of Usami Dingmi, this seemingly old man who is old and leisurely, the reason why he was transferred to Uozu Castle by Seimasa is to become the Dinghai God Needle of Uozu Castle!

The wealthy clan in Yuezhong and the hostages in Uozu Castle all have their own thoughts, and they are not very loyal to the Sasa family, but with the arrangement and coordination of Usami Dingman in secret, these people can only obediently serve the Sasa family.

"Tired of searching...... The lord has handed over the defense of Uozu Castle to Lord Saito, and the lord must have been prepared for a long time, so it is better to say it to facilitate the follow-up arrangements. ”

"No problem...... I will now take stock of the forces that can be mobilized in the city. First of all, it was the Echigo Sakai group that the lord borrowed from His Royal Highness, led by Usami-sama, with a total of 100 people.

"Secondly, the Tongxin people who are responsible for the Fuji God and the Great, although these people are only from the townspeople, but they have been trained for a long time, and they can be entrusted with the task of guarding the castle.

"Thirdly, I entrusted Lord Higuchi Kanetoyo to urgently summon the nearby peasant soldiers Ashigaru, and the Uozu Castle is fully armed, and I can equip as much as Higuchi-sama can muster, but the time is in a hurry, and I can't muster an army large enough to go out of the city for field battles.

"In addition, there are dozens of Ji warriors and hostages from various wealthy clans in the city, most of whom are proficient in martial arts, and with a little rectification, they can form a not weak combat force and can be used as a reserve team. In this way, the number of troops that can be recruited in the castle and the castle town is about 500 in total. Although I have long thought of the possibility of a large number of people, I do not have the right to recruit peasants for a long time, so I am lacking in troops. ”

"Ayi, wakata! Usami nodded and glanced at everyone suspiciously, and his wrinkled old face moved, and said:

"Although the army is not sufficient, it is really easy to defend Uozu Castle and let those rabble return in vain...... Please rest assured that you will serve your family, and on the day of the lord's triumph, you will not be disadvantaged. ”

His words were clearly encouraging, but in fact they ...... After the triumph of Sasa, "no disadvantage" was quite interesting in the eyes of everyone.

"Hah!"

Before the old man narrowed his eyes, someone had already bowed down to respond.

"As for the specific method of victory, it is nothing more than eight words - to demoralize and defeat its laziness, Saito-sama and you are all rare young people in the Sasa family, these eight words should be easy to understand, then, the old man will leave."

With that, Usami stood up on his side and limped away.

However, after Dingman left, on the specific tactical arrangement, everyone quarreled.

Everyone understands the idea of "demoralizing them", which is to stick to the pond and consume the other party's vigor and food.

But how to fight "hit its laziness"? Where to hit? When exactly is "lazy return"?

Everyone quarreled over this issue, and in the end, Saito Toshizo blackened his face, announced the suspension of the military meeting, and ordered everyone to guard their posts, and the quarrel subsided.

In the evening of the same day, a huge crowd came to the city of Yujin and caught it wantonly.

The so-called indiscriminate arrest is the robbery of villages and towns, which can be regarded as one of the main sources of income for farmers in that era. Uozu Castle is not a small town, but it has grown rapidly in just half a year, and it has become the most prosperous castle town in Eastern Vietnam.

Fortunately, most of the townspeople have been evacuated, and the loss of property is immeasurable.

In the chaotic procession of 10,000 people, the leader rode a chestnut Kiso horse, and was the leader of the group.

At the side of the leader, a monk dressed in black robe held the sword at his waist in one hand and counted a string of large Buddha beads in the other.

The leader looked at the meager Uozu Castle with great ambition, and was about to give the order to attack, but as if he had thought of something, he turned back to the monk and asked:

"Lord Shimoma, at this time, the siege of the city, may it be a drum?"

The monk who called the lower room, although his face was quite resolute, but he twisted his eyebrows, and his face was sad, and the lower room frowned and looked at Yujin Castle, and finally slowly shook his head and said:

"Toshizo Saito, the defender of Uozu Castle, is not idle, I'm afraid it's not so easy to capture."

Seeing the decline of the lower room, the leader's face was a little unpleasant, but remembering the repeated instructions of the governor before leaving, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked:

"Since it is not easy to siege the city, the master means ...... Waiting for tomorrow's attack? ”

"No...... You don't have to postpone the day. At this time, Sasa Narumasa was besieging Masuyama Castle, and if this city was lost, the Jiboya would be in danger. So...... Please attack immediately, just ......"

The next room paused and said,

"It's just that today's attack only needs to drive away the weakest believers, and the personal guards of the adults must not enter the battlefield!"

"Why?"

Shimma's wrinkled brows soothed slightly, and he glanced at the leader teasingly before saying:

"Don't you know that there are a hundred iron cannons in Uozu Castle? And it's also a descendant of Uesugi Teruto. ”

"Nani?"

The leader was a little surprised,

"In that case, why send people to attack, isn't this sending them to death?"

Monk Shimoma regained his indifferent expression, he straightened his waist and looked at the believers in front of him in the crowd, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage, and quickly retracted his realization.

"Your Excellency's expectation is good, the first batch of troops to attack the city is to let them die!"

"Nani! What do you mean, Lord Shimoma?

"Although the Echigo early strike group is strong, after all, there are only 100 people, and it is impossible to carry too many guns and ammunition.

In addition, the use of iron artillery, especially the rapid-fire iron artillery method similar to that of the Echigo early strike group, consumes a lot of ammunition.

"Therefore, the projectiles and gunpowder in Uozu Castle are not enough to support the return of Sasa Chengzheng, and the damage rate of the iron cannon remains high, I believe that it will not be long before the Echigo early attack group of 100 people will have no guns to use and no bullets to fire!"

The leader was already sweating his back unconsciously, and he only felt that his hairs stood on end and his back was cold.

People are rumored everywhere that Sasa Narumasa is the devil, but at this time, he actually thinks that the Honganji Officer, who has always been kind and kind, is not an exaggeration to say that he is an asura.

However, can't the projectiles and gunpowder in Uozu Castle really last a few days? (To be continued.) )
