Chapter 772 - Nothing to Fear

"Such an attack by the enemy is simply sending people to death."

At this time, Yuji Kawabe was also wearing a camouflage suit and a riot suit, and after waving the riot shield in his hand to block a stray arrow, he said to Zhao Hongyu.

These Japanese soldiers who surrendered were very special in Zhao Hongyu's team.

Because of their dress, they are out of place with this era, and there is a sense of disobedience.

However, Yuji Kawabe and his soldiers did not think so.

On the contrary, they think it is very good.

You must know that it is now the late autumn season here in the Wa Kingdom.

So, the weather is getting colder, especially in the early morning.

If they were still wearing the same clothes as before, they would not be able to withstand the cold weather of late autumn.

But now they are wearing this body, but it is very warm.

Moreover, the big black leather boots are also very comfortable to wear on the feet.

Yes, Zhao Hongyu not only put riot suits on these guys, but even brought the big leather shoes used by the Air Force at another time, the so-called 'military hook'.

These shoes are very warm in winter, because there is a thick layer of cashmere inside, so they can completely resist the cold of winter and prevent their feet from frostbite.

At the same time, the toe cap of these large-toed military leather shoes is also padded with a layer of steel plate.

If this is used to kick people...... Needless to say, the consequences will be said.

In short, in the winter of previous years, these Japanese soldiers did not wear such warm clothes and shoes, so they were very grateful to Zhao Hongyu for rushing a little.

It's just that these guys look like members of the demolition team in later generations.

Sometimes Zhao Hongyu even hallucinates.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu pursed his lips and said to Yuji Riverside: "They are willing to die, this has nothing to do with us, we can't let us not fight back." ”

"That's it. That's right, my lord. Yuji Kawabe replied with a smirk.

"Actually, the enemy is rushing so fiercely, it seems to me that they are going to use such tactics to exhaust our strength. Apparently the enemy commander thinks that we have no more food and drink. ”

Zhao Hongyu sneered and watched the crusading army charge under Osaka Castle, and after being repulsed again, he said his guess.

The crusading army was on the edge of the moat and was again heavily defeated.

They had no way to resist the musket fire at the head of the city, so they left a trail of corpses on the edge of the moat, and then retreated like a tide again.

Around Osaka Castle at this time. The corpses of the crusading soldiers who were already lying on the ground were densely packed.

That's just the case with purgatory on earth.

In fact, in the history of mankind, such scenes have occurred in every war and conflict.

Perhaps, this has something to do with the fact that human beings have this factor in their nature.

Throughout the evolutionary history of mankind, almost all of them have been related to war.

Zhao Hongyu looked at the corpses covered all the way under the city and sighed in his heart.

After seven days of siege, Zhao Hongyu has changed greatly from not being used to it at the beginning, but now he has become numb.

He didn't know that he had become more cold-blooded from time to time, or rather more numb.

In a word. When he saw the corpses now, he really didn't react at all.

It's not like when he first started, he was still a little unbearable in his heart.

After all, there are too many people who have died.

If you don't see it with your own eyes. It doesn't matter either.

Some cold and cold numerical descriptions are always stronger than personal experience.

However, this time he really experienced it himself, and he couldn't even dodge it.

But. After seven days of attack, Zhao Hongyu changed from being unaccustomed to it at the beginning to being calm now. Even he felt a little scary.

There's nothing wrong with hating Japanese people.

However, the Japanese are also life.

Yuji Riverside didn't know that Lu Dao, the lord who took refuge, was sighing with emotion at this time.

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, he nodded again and again and responded very approvingly: "Yes, we have been surrounded by the crusading army for twenty-one days. If it were according to the normal development of the war, we would have been short of food and strength by now, and the morale of the defenders in the city would be fluctuating. Therefore, the crusading army has only begun a seven-day offensive in a row, and there is nothing wrong with that. ”

Zhao Hongyu retracted his cranky thoughts and sorted out his mood.

"Hmph, it's beautiful to kill them. They wouldn't have imagined that there was no such thing as they expected on our side, and it made them uncomfortable. ”

Yes, where did the crusaders think that their opponents had a rebellious plug-in.

By special means, these opponents did not have to worry about food at all, and were even replenished with a thousand troops.

It's kind of like a myth when you say it.

Therefore, having made such a wrong judgment, the commander of the crusading army cannot be blamed for his incompetence.

After all, judging from their every move, they actually did the right thing.

It's just that they don't know that their opponent is a person who can't be judged by common sense, so they have suffered such big losses and heavy losses in these seven days.

"It's time to eat! Let's eat! ”

The attack of the crusaders was repulsed, and immediately the firemen shouted loudly.

Two white steamed buns, plus a bowl of hot bone broth, are enough for the soldiers who have just experienced a fierce battle and consumed a lot of physical strength to replenish their physical strength again.

In addition, eating two steamed buns and drinking a large bowl of hot bone broth can also help calm their excited hearts.

The musketeers were withdrawn, and the 1,000-strong musketeers were used as mobile units.

After they withdrew, they were immediately replenished by the Imperial Imperial Allies under Zhao Hongyu, who were dressed in camouflage uniforms.

At this time, there is no need for the soldiers to queue up to receive food, and the firehead soldiers will serve the steamed buns and bone broth to everyone one by one.

Isn't it just for a bite to eat?

During this period of time under Zhao Hongyu, it was the happiest time for these Japanese soldiers.

They ate food that they had never eaten before, and they also fed their stomachs that had never been full.

At this point, even if it is death. It's worth it, too.

Because they have lived so long, that is, under the command of Zhao Hongyu, they know what it is like to have a full stomach.

On this point, these Japanese soldiers, one by one, began to work hard for Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know what these soldiers thought.

I wouldn't have thought that just because I fed them, they actually changed their concept of themselves.

Because that's a bit of.

In fact, this is also to blame Zhao Hongyu for not understanding the environment in which the Japanese live.

If he is a Japanese soldier, then it must be understood that some Japanese soldiers will die for a bowl of rice.

Not to mention. What Zhao Hongyu gave them was not just a bowl of full rice, but a full meal for twenty-one days in a row, as well as warm clothes and shoes.

At the same time, these meals for them were all white flowers of rice that the lords and daimyo generally didn't eat, and those fragrant and greasy meats.

Well, of course, these Japanese soldiers mainly have no way out.

Therefore, if you don't give Zhao Hongyu your life, it won't be done.

And don't look at the fact that Osaka Castle is surrounded now. But judging by the fighting these days, they still have no problem holding Osaka Castle.

Because the legion of the descendants under the command of this person they have taken refuge in is too strong.

Those sharp artillery and muskets caused heavy losses to the crusaders. It also opened their eyes.

At the same time, it was known that the leader of the outsiders they had taken refuge with, and another army was attacking Edo.

As long as this plan is successful, then they will no longer be in any danger.

So. For these Japanese soldiers, they are not hopeless.

Man, as long as there is hope. Then the potential will burst out.

Of course, Zhao Hongyu will know this truth.

Therefore, he will inadvertently reveal his plan a little, so that the Japanese soldiers who have taken refuge enough can feel at ease.

They are always cranky in the province.

Because of the arrival of the fireheads, a smile appeared on the faces of the soldiers.

Eating a bite of white steamed buns and drinking a bowl of bone broth is really a beautiful life.

Even some feudal lords and daimyo may not be able to eat such food.

"My lord, when will the Edo side be able to conquer it?"

Yuji Kawabe and Zhao Hongyu stood at the head of the castle and did not leave, and their eyes were still on the camp of the crusading army surrounding Osaka Castle in the distance.

At this point, the repulsed crusaders retreated, having been stopped by a few men in armor who looked like leaders, and regrouped their ranks.

At the same time, several leaders who seemed to have led the attack just now were pushed out with their hands tied.

The men with their hands tied upside down knelt on the ground with their heads disheveled, and then their heads were cut off by several samurai.

It seems that he was punished because of the unfavorable attack just now.

In the past seven days, Zhao Hongyu has seen this kind of punishment several times, so it is not very strange.

"I don't know much about this, anyway, we just have to defend here, I think the crusading army will definitely have to recruit some troops to come to the aid after this period of losses. This is a good thing for the legions on the Edo side. ”

Zhao Hongyu retracted his gaze and turned his head sideways to say to Yuji Riverbe.

"The harder we fight here, the more we will attract the idea of the Japanese people. At that time, the pressure on the legions on the Edo side will be reduced, and after the army is attracted, there will not be too many troops in Edo, right? ”

Yuji Kawabe pondered for a moment, and felt that this was the truth, so he nodded.

"I guess the other side will start attacking again in a while. It's really annoying, it doesn't give people a break at all. Seeing the opposite crusade camp, in the queue of the soldiers who had retreated, Yuji Riverside said to Zhao Hongyu with a disgusted face.

"Just let them come, there's nothing to be afraid of." , Zhao Hongyu smiled indifferently. (To be continued......)
