Chapter 851: Yuji Kawabe who encountered obstacles (three more!) )

From the leader of the gene human team, Tokugawa Kayo got a lot of advice. She felt that these suggestions were very reasonable, so she kept them in mind.

After bidding farewell to the Gene Man Patrol Team, Tokugawa Kayo led his guards to the Imperial Army's headquarters.

When Tokugawa Kayo met with the commander of the Imperial Army, she explained her intentions in detail.

After listening to Tokugawa Kayo's words, the army commander only thought about it for a while, and then nodded and agreed to Tokugawa Kayo's request.

Because what Tokugawa Yoshiyo said was very reasonable, Hattori Onizo went to select 1,500 captives and then began to attack northern Miyazaki.

But the fifteen hundred captives could not have been assured of their loyalty.

If these people mutinied in the offensive to the north, it would have a very big impact on the war.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a problem, it is necessary to accompany the Imperial Army, which is strong in combat, only in this way can it deter the captives and make them dare not have such thoughts.

Besides, Tokugawa Kayo only asked for five hundred troops, which is not too much. So there will be no embarrassment for this genetic commander.

Therefore, the commander of the genetic man quickly agreed to Tokugawa Kayo's request.

After getting the agreement, Tokugawa Kayo seemed very happy.

Immediately, she left the Imperial Army's station, and she was followed by five hundred genetic infantry.

Even, the genetic commander deliberately allocated ten artillery pieces, which made Tokugawa Kayo very happy.

With artillery as a sharp weapon, Tokugawa Kayo suddenly became more confident in his plan to capture northern Miyazaki.

It may be that the Japanese people of this era did not understand the power of artillery, but for Tokugawa Kayo, who had already seen the power of artillery, no one knew the power of artillery better than her.

With artillery, let your city be high and thick. But it can't withstand a few shots.

Moreover, the northern part of Miyazaki seems to be a small castle, so ten artillery pieces are definitely enough.

At this point, Tokugawa Kayo's matter here is settled.

And when she left the Imperial Army station, Hattori Kizo on the other side also selected 1,500 prisoners and reorganized them into the Tokugawa First Corps.

Yuji Kawabe led the Imperial Alliance Army to leave in the morning, but at noon Tokugawa Kayo had already prepared his troops to the north, and left Okazaki Castle by appointing Hattori Onizo as a general. Begin the march to northern Miyazaki.

At this time, the news of the fall of Okazaki Castle had not yet spread to the entire Miyazaki territory.

The soldiers of the Fujita family, who were still scattered in the passes or important villages and towns in the Miyazaki territory, did not know what was going on in the road at this time.

Everyone would not or even believe that Zhao Hongyu and others had the ability to destroy the Fujita family and capture Okazaki City in such a short period of time.

After sending Hattori Gozo away, Tokugawa Kayo began to devote himself to the construction of Okazaki Castle. She now had to stabilize the people's hearts first, so she gathered the last 1,500 captives and let them start the siege war against the castle in Okazaki. As a result, the damaged dwelling is repaired to achieve the purpose of being close to the people.

The defense of Okazaki Castle has been taken over by the Imperial Army. At the same time, there were dozens of patrol squads on the street to maintain law and order, so the situation in Okazaki Castle gradually stabilized.

Over time. There is no doubt that the 1,500 captives organized by Tokugawa Kayo will definitely become the Tokugawa family's soldiers in the end-

Dividing Line –

"My lord, I found a municipality ahead. Our scouts went to ask them to surrender, but the other side wounded our scouts with bows and arrows. ”

The next day. He had left Okazaki Castle and marched south for about 120 miles. The 1st and 2nd Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army, led by Yuji Kawabe, encountered a municipality with a population of about 1,000 people.

"Where are we now?"

After listening to the report, Yuji Kawabe did not immediately give the order, but asked where the army had marched now.

The soldier in black armor and carrying a small black flag on his back knelt on one knee, put his right hand on the ground and lowered his head, and replied loudly: "We are still thirty miles away from Nichinan, and this is the town of Zukou, the main road leading to Nichinan. ”

Yuji Kawabe sneered: "Since you are unwilling to surrender, then we will deal with them." It can also be regarded as a warning to the defenders of Japan, but all those who refuse to surrender wherever our army passes will be killed. I order, the 2nd Corps attacked! ”

With Yuji Kawabe's order, the Second Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army began to attack this small town of 1,000 people.

The Second Corps numbered more than 2,000 men, which was more than double the population of the town combined. Moreover, the defenders in this town are only about 50 people, and those young and strong people are only more than 400 people, and the rest are only old and weak.

Therefore, the strength in the town of Zuokou really cannot be compared with the Second Corps.

They didn't surrender before, and that was because the small leaders of the defenders were brainless.

Don't you know that his actions have brought ruin to everyone.

In fact, the little boss originally wanted to resist these enemies with the help of the defenses of Zuoguchi-cho. At the same time, he sent people to Okazaki Castle to ask for reinforcements, and it should not be a big problem to solve these enemies at that time.

After all, the men in the town of Zuokou were organized, and their regular army numbered as many as five or six hundred.

If you want to defend yourself, you should have a fight.

If it was according to the normal cold weapon combat mode, this low-level samurai in Zuokoucho was not wrong.

It's just a pity that the opponent he faced was not ordinary at all. At the same time, he didn't know that Okazaki Castle had changed hands, and that the lord he had been loyal to had now burped.

If he had known this, he would not have done anything to shoot scouts with a bow and arrow.

It was precisely because of the lack of clarity about these messages that he made a wrong brain-dead judgment.

The fortifications of the town of Zuguchi are nothing more than a small stockade made of piles of stones. The wall is no more than two meters high, and Yuji Riverside felt ridiculous when he saw it.

Okazaki Castle's strong city defense did not withstand the attack, not to mention this small and simple defense facility.

But. Because the Imperial Alliance Army led by Yuji Kawabe was all Japanese soldiers. There were no Imperial Army soldiers, so he did not have flintlock pistols or artillery under his command.

Therefore, although he looked down on the enemy on the opposite side from the bottom of his heart, he still carefully arranged his troops.

First of all, in order to deal with the enemy in the village, Yuji Kawabe asked the first corps to arrest all the old and weak women in Zuokou Town, and then drove them out of the cottage.

This hand, for the people in the cottage, is quite deadly.

Because the cottage is too small. Can't get in too many people. Therefore, the governor stationed in the town of Zuokou brought all the men into the village, while the women, children, and old people remained in the town.

In his opinion, these enemies will definitely not attack these useless villagers, after all, the other party is also a samurai.

It is a very shameful thing for a samurai to do such a thing.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that although the enemy commander he is facing is a samurai, he is a strange existence in the samurai ranks.

Yuji Kawabe simply doesn't play his cards according to common sense. Because in his thinking and cognition, in order to defeat the enemy, you can do whatever it takes, the process is not important, only the result is important.

In the process of defeating the enemy, it is completely possible to do anything, as long as the goal of finally defeating the enemy can be achieved.

It is for this reason. In addition, his wife is very beautiful, so he is depressed under the command of Ishida Aido, the lord of Osaka Castle.

Because his concept is incompatible with the concept of the samurai of this era, it is very deviant.

The samurai of the Japanese kingdom of this era. What is advocated is a dignified battlefield duel, and disdain for that kind of crooked and evil ways.

Even if some stratagems are used, it will only be thirty-six schemes.

But. Yuji Kawabe doesn't care about that, he wants victory.

Means, hehe!

Therefore, when the First Corps gathered all the people in Zuokou Town and drove them in front of the village, the people in the village were dumbfounded.

How can this be fought?

If they continue to fight the enemy, then their families will be in danger.

The samurai officer stationed here kept yelling at the crowd, trying to calm them down. But it's useless at all, after all, those people are the young and strong family of Zuokoucho who was gathered by him.

When it comes to their families, no one can calm down.

"The people inside have listened well, and give you half a pillar of incense time to surrender. If we don't surrender after half a pillar of incense, we will kill all the townspeople outside the village and then launch an attack on the village, and after the village is breached, there will be no chickens and dogs left! ”

One of the cavalrymen was sent by Yuji Kawabe, stopped beyond the range of the enemy's bow and arrows, and shouted loudly to the people inside the stockade.

After shouting several times in a row, this meaning has been clearly transmitted to the second middle school of the people in the village.

What can I do?

Do we want to continue to fight each other?

If the confrontation continues, then the lives of the relatives outside will not be guaranteed.

But if we don't continue the confrontation, then in the future, the reinforcements of Okazaki Castle will defeat these enemies, and they will liquidate them together.

It's so hard and so confusing.

The young people of Zuokou Town in the village were very difficult to face this situation.

But in any case, their resistance is now much weaker.

"My lord, what should we do now, the enemy has driven away the people of Zuokou Town. There's no way we can do anything about them, or we'll make the organized Left Mouth Town Qingzhuang mutiny. ”

The shouts from outside had already reached the low-level samurai Konoe Morwen No. 2 Middle School in the house, who belonged to the command of Nichinan Mori Sanjo, and he was now discussing this with his subordinates with a sad face.

To be honest, he didn't dare and didn't want to surrender.

After all, he was a samurai.

If he surrenders like this, then his family in Ninan will be disgraced along with him.

And Okazaki Castle will definitely not ignore the affairs here, so after the reinforcements of Okazaki Castle defeat these enemies who don't know where they came from, they will definitely liquidate those who surrender.

So, surrender is absolutely impossible.

However, there were only fifty soldiers under him, and the remaining four or five hundred people were all young and strong people in Zuokou Town, who had been temporarily summoned, and their combat effectiveness was needless to say.

At the same time, their will to fight is not good.

Now that the other party is actually using such a method that goes against the spirit of the samurai, I think that those young men in Zuokou Town have even less fighting spirit.

"Tell me, what are we going to do now?" Konoe Morbun frowned and looked at the men gathered around him and asked.

He is also very embarrassed by the current situation.

Yes, Konoe Morven, who is already in his forties, is not the kind of smart person.

Otherwise, he would not be a low-level samurai at this age, and he was sent out to garrison such a small town with only fifty men.

Therefore, when he is faced with this situation, it is normal that he can't come up with any ideas.

As soon as he said this, the subordinates around him also stood up one by one.

To be honest, they, like Konoe Morbun, don't have a very good way.

In fact, many people think that surrender seems to be good.

As for the liquidation in the future or something, there is no need to worry about it at all.

It's a big deal that they leave Miyazaki and go to live in other daimyo's territory, just change their names.

Of course, these soldiers were not samurai and had no families.

So, they can think so.

But Konoe Morvin is different, he still has some status compared to these soldiers.

Don't look at him as an unsatisfactory person among the samurai, but he is also a samurai with a fortune, which is better than those wild samurai and ronin who don't have a fortune.

Moreover, his family is still in Ninan Castle.

"My lord, we must not be able to continue to fight the enemy at this time. First of all, our troops are insufficient, and the defense of the stockade is not very good, and there is no way to fight the enemy at all. It's better to surrender, at least save your faith first......"

Bastard!

Poof!

Before the guy who could say this opinion could finish his words, Konoe Morbun pulled out his katana at his waist and slashed down, knocking the guy to the ground.

"No one is allowed to say anything about surrender, and if anyone mentions this again, don't blame me for being unkind."

Konoe Mofumi's biggest fear was that someone would say something like this.

That's why he reacted so violently.

He pondered that by killing a hundred people and killing chickens to show monkeys, he might be able to suppress the thoughts of people who had such thoughts.

It's just that he doesn't know what to do, and many times many things will not be transferred by personal will.

He didn't notice that many people looked at him with a trace of killing intent in their eyes.

Because what he did was to bring the big guy to his death.

You can die, but you can't take everyone with you.

After all, there are still a lot of people who don't live enough, don't they...... (To be continued......)
