Chapter 803: Divide and Divide
Usa-gun, Toyozen Province, Kitakyushu.
After ambushing the Usa Omiya family and rushing to support the reinforcements of Dragon King City, the commander of the second army, Murakami, was ready to use the captured reinforcement general Sano to assist them in infiltrating Shieda Castle, but he was helplessly rejected by Sano Kinshige, and Murakami had to hand over Sano to the Luo family, who was responsible for leading the way for their army, to deal with several detectives.
So just as the Luo family was quickly cleaning up the battlefield, the screams of Sano's pro-pig killing kept coming from a nearby grove, which made the soldiers of the nearby Luo family and the captured soldiers of the Usa Omiya family suddenly feel creepy. Fortunately, since this place is far away from both Tokieda Castle and Myokendake Castle, even if Sano himself shouts and breaks his throat, it will not be heard by the enemy troops in these places.
Soon after, Sano's kinshige, who was paralyzed all over, was carried in front of Murakami's solemnity. I saw that at this time, the five fingers of Sano's kissed right hand were all bloody and blurry. Just now, he was the first punishment of the ten Manchu tortures investigated by the Luo family, the punishment of pricking his fingers with bamboo sticks. It's just that after being pricked with five fingers, Sano's pro-psychological defense line completely collapsed.
"My lord, let me go, I'm willing to surrender! Woo woo woo ...... "When he saw Murakami's grandeur, Sano immediately cried with tears and snot.
"Excellent! Are you willing to join your family? Murakami said immediately.
"Yes, yes."
"Tell me about the situation in Shizhi Castle at this time."
"Your Excellency is planning to disguise the military strength of the Ben family and infiltrate Shizhi Castle?" After resting fiercely for a while, adjusting the mood of the devastated country, Sano spoke out in person.
"Not bad. If only you could help us get into the city. In the next step, I will definitely ask for credit to the head of the family for you. Murakami immediately seduced.
"Your lord is the Eagle of Hizen?"
"Exactly!"
After receiving a solemn affirmative reply from Murakami. Sano's relatives were cautious, but he thought about it carefully. Just now, he shouted to surrender and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Luo family, but he was just afraid of being tortured again, but now after learning the origin of Murakami and the others, he has thought about it carefully. After pondering for a while, he said:
"My lord, judging from the bottom down, it is not the best strategy to return to Shizhicheng at this time."
"Oh?" When Murakami heard that Sano's pro-Shige actually said that the strategy they formulated was not the best policy, he couldn't help but look at the people beside him, such as Oyano Tanemitsu, Kamitsuura Tanekyo, Tsuruta Nao and others.
"Your Excellency. You don't know, the guard of Tokieda Castle, Takashi Tokieda, is a cautious and cautious guy, and he has never trusted his subordinates. This time, it was supposed to be led by the subordinated reinforcements to the Sugi family's Myokangaku Castle, but before leaving, Takashi Eda sent Miyagiki to replace the position of the main general under the subordinate, which was actually a means of monitoring and control. ”
"Is that so?" When Sano said this, even Murakami was surprised.
"At this time, there are still more than 300 defenders in Shizhi Castle, and with the distrustful attitude of the guard general Shizhi Takashi towards Zaixia, even if Zai Xia is willing to assist the adults to return to Shizhi City, Shizhi Takaling in the city will be suspicious because of this, and it may not be possible to open the city." Sano's kinshige continued.
"That being the case. So what do you think is the best policy? "Since Sano personally pointed out that their strategy of taking the opportunity to sneak attack Shizhicheng was not the best strategy, then Sano's pro-heart must have a plan in his heart. So Murakami asked immediately. Sano's words really attracted Murakami's solemn attention, and he planned to listen to Sano's strategy before making a final decision.
"The army of adults pretended to be reinforcements from the Ben family, and continued to the Sugi family's Myomiyagaku Castle, taking the opportunity to take the castle. If this is not the case, once the identity of the branch is discovered when we return, then the delay in the meeting time with the forces of the Sugi family of Myokan Castle will also cause the vigilance of Myoki Takeshi, and in this way, there will be nothing to gain. "Sano's pro-ploy strategy is indeed the best choice at this time, but it also implies that he is unwilling to expose his purpose because of this. Because once his appearance in the army of the Luo family is discovered, then the entire Sano family will be regarded as a betrayer, and his Sano Takaju and others who are in the camp of the Sugi family will be in danger.
Naturally, these careful thoughts of Sano's relatives could not escape Murakami's solemn recognition, because Sano's sudden change of thinking about the Luo family's army was too sudden, and it was naturally impossible for Murakami to fully believe that Sano Qinzhong would completely surrender to the Luo family so quickly, so he immediately stared at Sano and asked:
"What the hell is your purpose?"
In the face of Murakami's solemn and fierce color, Sano smiled slightly and said: "My lord, in order to cooperate with you to infiltrate Miaojian Miaocheng, I am willing to select a few trusted members of my family from the captives you captured this time as hostages to assist my lord to infiltrate the city, but I hope that after the matter is completed, I will not announce the matter of the Luo family, after all, there are still many relatives in the Sugi family and the Usa Omiya Division's family." ”
"Okay, I'll say yes." stared at Sano fiercely for a while, and found that the other party's eyes had always been calm, so Murakami finally agreed. Later, Murakami consulted with Oyano Tanemitsu, Kamitsuura Tanekyū, Tsuruta Nao, Ariura, Kankinkiyo, and others, and finally agreed that the strategy provided by Sano kinshige was more advantageous, because as long as they took Myojian Castle, they could join the Fourth Route Army, which was besieging Ryuno Castle to the west.
Since the next action goal was decided, in the case of time urgency, Murakami and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield, stripped off all the soldiers of the Usao Omiya family except for Sano Kinshige and the dozen or so captives selected by Sano Kinshige, and then took all those captives who were still alive to a woods far away from the roadside and tied them up, and even their mouths were stuffed with rags. After leaving a dozen or so soldiers of the Luo family, who had also been wounded in the previous battle, to guard these prisoners, they put on the clothes of the soldiers of the Usa Omiya family and quickly came to the Sugi family's Myokangaku Castle under the banner of the Usa Omiya family.
At this time, the guards in Myokandake Castle were Sugi Shigeyoshi, Iida Kohide, Kalai Naritsune, and Kalai Tongnao. After learning that reinforcements from Shizhi Castle had arrived, they were completely unprepared and put nearly 500 reinforcements into the city. At this time, the defenders of Miaojian Yue City were only more than 400 people, and under the grand sudden attack of the village after entering the city, and with the strength of more than 200 Luo family troops who followed outside the city, the defenders in the city were suddenly thrown into chaos.
After learning that the reinforcements from Shieda Castle who came to join him had actually rebelled, Sugi Shigeyoshi and the others were almost angry to death. The reason why the Sugi family took the lead in supporting Dragon King City this time was because of the Usa Omiya family, but I didn't expect that this Usa Omiya Si family was the first to start the idea of the Sugi family's Mikumi Yue City. Angry, Sugi Shigeyoshi and others immediately organized the defenders to counterattack. However, the Luo family came this time with elite soldiers, and these defenders in the city, who were mostly peasant soldiers, were not their opponents at all. After a fierce battle, it was Sugi Shigeyoshi, as the main general, who fell into the siege of the Luo family's army and was beaten to death.
After Sugishigeyoshi was killed in battle and most of the castle was lost, Myomidake Castle finally surrendered under the leadership of Iida Kohide. Iida Xingxiu was one of the first retainers of the Ouchi family that Masarashi met when the Luo family formed an alliance with the Ouchi family, and Iida Xingxiu has maintained a cooperative relationship with the Luo family since then, until the Ouchi family tore up the alliance with the Luo family. But Iida Xingxiu has always been very optimistic about the Luo family. This time, seeing that there was no hope of defending the city, and the Luo family's army actually appeared in the hinterland of their territory, Iida Xingxiu, who realized that the Sugi family had inevitably declined, decisively chose to take the initiative to surrender to the Luo family, so he took the initiative to persuade Calais Chengheng and Calais Tongzhi to surrender together.
With the fall of Myoki Castle, Masara's previous strategy of planting nails in the southeastern part of Bunzen Province and the northeastern part of Bungo Province in order to divide the power of the wealthy clans in these two places has been realized. (To be continued......)
