Chapter 716: My Lord, Osaka Castle Has Been Conquered (Three Watches!) )
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and all the shortcomings have been spoken.
Zhao Hongyu also understands that all of this is true.
It's just that I can't tell them the truth and tell them that I have an anti-heaven artifact, and I can continue to supply food and weapons.
You must know that you have a 'base' in the Americas.
As long as the 'base' in the Americas exists, then there will be money in your account that will continue to grow, and this money can be used to buy the goods you need in the virtual world.
This is the era of cold weapons, and weapons and other things are easy to get.
Although Chen Zhenbang had no way to get a firearm, he could still get some steel.
It's just that the steel that Chen Zhenbang got for himself is basically a scrap product that cannot be produced by a steel mill.
But even so, the steel that is not up to par in modern steel mills is much stronger than the iron material of this era.
It can't be helped, who doesn't let the sixteenth-century technique here be bad?
What's more, those scrap steel products can be used by Chen Zhenbang to contact some small workshops to create the cold weapons they need.
It's easy to find an excuse, and the excuse that he wants to shoot a historical TV series is enough to make Chen Zhenbang not think about anything.
Besides, he wouldn't have thought of his true use at all, and the cold weapon couldn't make any waves in the world world over there.
That side is the same as the world before Zhao Hongyu crossed over, it was an era when thermal weapons were rampant.
Even if you are a martial arts master, it will definitely be knocked down with one shot.
However, you can't tell Hattori Ghost about these things.
It's a secret that I'll keep for the rest of my life.
"Now that you've taken refuge in me, trust me once this time, I must have my reasons for doing this, do you think I'm going to joke with my own life."
Zhao Hongyu's expression was very serious.
To be honest, if he didn't have the self-confidence, he would not have thought about it and made a decision.
Hattori Kizo also has Tokugawa Kayo's worries. He himself didn't know what to do.
As Hattori and Tokugawa Yoshiyo said, if they conquered Osaka Castle, the first thing would be for the shogunate to change the way they see themselves now.
Now they are on the side of the shogunate, and they are like some insignificant rogues.
However, if they start to conquer the city, this will definitely change a lot.
Once the shogunate paid attention to it, the enemies they would face next would not be so simple.
At the same time, Osaka Castle is going to be stationed, and once it is surrounded, everyone will not be able to escape.
Zhao Hongyu is very clear about this.
But. He still wants to attack Osaka Castle.
Is he crazy?
No, he's not crazy, and he's not joking with his life.
Zhao Hongyu is not such a stupid person.
"Your Highness, do you have any reason to convince us? If not, your subordinates will never agree to your proposal. ”
Hattori Onizo didn't back down at all, even if Zhao Hongyu was his current lord.
Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly.
But no matter what, Zhao Hongyu has already made a decision, so he will definitely do it.
Now that the crusaders have been defeated, it is conceivable. The crusading army will definitely ask for help from the Edo shogunate.
And now he has also found that due to the weakness of his troops, the field itself is always full of dangers of one kind or another.
Therefore, for the sake of your own life. It's better to occupy Osaka Castle and then rely on Osaka Castle to fight a defensive battle.
The Japanese people of this era did not have that kind of sharp siege weapons.
On the other hand, on his side, there are artillery and muskets and other weapons to defend the city.
As long as you are stationed in Osaka Castle by yourself. You can immediately contact Chen Zhenbang to give some equipment to the soldiers under his command to improve their defense.
When the time comes, it should not be difficult to defend Osaka Castle.
Not to mention. I was also able to use cement to reinforce the walls of Osaka Castle.
When the time comes, even if tens of thousands of people attack him, he will be able to resist for a long time.
In the era of cold weapons, the opponent did not have a siege weapon such as artillery, and it would be a joke to defeat the city he was stationing.
And I don't have to worry about the source of medicine and food, so why don't I take Osaka Castle?
You must know that Lu Dao, his own troops are really too small now.
If you continue to fight like this, it will be worth the loss for yourself.
But after the capture of Osaka Castle, things can be reversed.
Relying on the city defense of Osaka Castle, he can slowly accumulate genetic soldiers.
If you don't do this, you will definitely suffer losses like today in future battles.
It's just that...... Zhao Hongyu looked at Hattori Ghost, and he was a little worried.
How do you convince Hattori to hide this guy?
As for Tokugawa Kayo, Zhao Hongyu didn't have to think about the little girl's thoughts at all.
She's just a mascot.
Soon, Zhao Hongyu finally persuaded Hattori to believe in himself again.
After all, Zhao Hongyu is his father-in-law, and he is already the one he has taken refuge in.
Hattori Hidezo can't help it.
Moreover, Zhao Hongyu used his identity as the lord to suppress everyone's objections.
Moreover, Zhao Hongyu assured everyone that the things they were worried about would not occur.
Even, Zhao Hongyu was very godlike and told Hattori Ghost that there were already his own people secretly transporting a lot of grain in Osaka City, and the amount of grain was enough to support them for more than a year.
This made Hattori hide their worries and let go of them a little.
And Zhao Hongyu also assured that as long as the fleet he sent out of the city could force the Edo shogunate to sign an alliance under the castle, then their side would be unscathed.
Besides, the Empire's 'reinforcements' are also on the way.
Therefore, they are not without a way out.
Although everyone is very optimistic about Zhao Hongyu's decision.
But in any case, everyone agreed to the plan.
Zhao Hongyu also knew that his plan looked a little brainless and very unreliable.
But. He can't tell everyone the secrets he relies on.
It is precisely because of this kind of reliance that he can make such a plan that ordinary people don't understand.
If Hattori hides them and knows that Zhao Hongyu still has this kind of cheating device, he won't refuse.
Since a decision was made here, Zhao Hongyu did not delay at all, and he immediately ordered the whole army to start rushing to Osaka Castle.
And the temporary camp here sent a team of soldiers to destroy it.
As for Emma and Sarah, Zhao Hongyu will send someone to inform them at that time.
The Iga ninja always has to be called.
"I command! Advance all and speed forward, and leave the routs alone. We're going to try to get them back to Osaka Castle before they escape. Conquer Osaka Castle and block them all out for me! ”
After Zhao Hongyu's order was issued, everyone's expressions responded in unison.
Subsequently, some heralds were sent out of the country and began to convey his order to the Gurkha cavalry, as well as to the European cavalry.
"Your Highness, I know that there is a small road near this road, which can avoid those routs and shorten the time it takes to reach Osaka Castle."
Since he has been persuaded by Zhao Hongyu. Then no matter how reluctant I am, there is no way.
Hattori Ghost is hiding now, and he can only give Zhao Hongyu advice as much as possible on this basis.
Hearing that there is a path, Zhao Hongyu is very happy.
"Say it quickly. Where's that path? ”
On this side, Zhao Hongyu made a decision to seize Osaka Castle.
On that side, the Wind Squire and Ishida Together. With the rout, he began to flee in the direction of Osaka Castle.
In their subconscious, Zhao Hongyu and the others should not come to attack Osaka City, because they didn't dare to get too far from the coastline.
After all. They had to make sure that when the war was unfavorable, there was a way out.
However, if they attack Osaka Castle, then they will enter the hinterland.
This is a very unwise act militarily.
Moreover, after the last time Ishida Hedao and Zhao Hongyu were defeated, Zhao Hongyu did not pursue them.
Judging from this, the enemy must have dared not go too far from the coastline, as he thought.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ishida Aido thinking this way.
If you follow normal people's thinking, there will indeed be worries about this.
However, he never imagined that his opponent could not be judged by normal people's thinking at all, because the things that his opponent relied on were simply very unnatural things.
If necessary, his enemies could even fight on the side of the Wa kingdom.
It's not impossible.
It's just that there are no valuable cultural relics on the side of the Wa Kingdom, so Zhao Hongyu didn't think about it.
Moreover, now for Zhao Hongyu, he still doesn't have a lot of interest in the Wa Kingdom for the time being, if it weren't for the fact that he needed a piece of territory of his own, he wouldn't be too lazy to talk nonsense with the shogunate.
About half a day later, Osaka Castle finally appeared in the sight of the defeated soldiers.
At this time, the pursuers behind had disappeared, as if they had given up the pursuit of their own people.
At this time, the crusading army was already exhausted and exhausted.
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but feel the aftermath of the catastrophe in their hearts.
"Everyone, work hard, we're about to arrive at Osaka Castle, and we'll be safe as soon as we enter the city."
Seeing Osaka Castle, Ishida Aido's hanging heart couldn't help but let go of a little.
However, as long as he didn't enter Osaka Castle, he never dared to let go of his heart.
He kept urging his soldiers to speed up their pace, and he wished that he could grow two wings so that he could fly back to Osaka Castle as fast as possible and then hide in his own residence.
Seriously, he doesn't have the courage to fight those foreigners anymore.
The last little bit of courage he had been exhausted in the crusade.
However, looking at the silhouette of Osaka Castle in the distance, Ishida Aido's heart felt uneasy, which made him feel very strange and puzzled.
How can you feel this way?
It's so weird.
However, Ishida didn't think much of it.
After all, what could be the case with Osaka Castle?
My enemies are still behind me, so I guess they chased them down and then retreated.
When you return to Osaka Castle, you must immediately write a letter about the situation and inform the Edo side.
The defeat of the crusading army has nothing to do with itself.
He had to get rid of that.
Moreover, Takahashi's death, he also has to find an excuse to deal with the past.
Of course, this argument has been discussed a long time ago.
It's nothing more than being killed by those foreigners.
Anyway, those foreigners who don't carry this black pot have to carry it, and no one explores it, which is good for everyone.
However, the closer he got to Osaka Castle, the faster Ishida's heartbeat accelerated.
Moreover, he found that on the horizon in front of him, a group of people ran over in black.
What's going on?
Where did these mortals come from?
The distance between the two sides is getting closer, getting closer.
Soon, Ishida found that the people on the other side were wearing Japanese costumes.
At the same time, they were all disgraced, and they looked dejected and frightened.
Most of these people were ordinary people, and there were some people dressed as soldiers.
In addition, Ishida also found some familiar faces.
Soon, the flow of people from both sides met together.
Before Ishida could ask, a person ran out on the other side.
After this guy ran out of the crowd, he came and knelt down in front of the war horse of Ishida Aido, and then cried to him.
"My lord, Osaka Castle has been conquered by the enemy!"
Nani!
Ishida Aimichi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at this guy who was crying to himself in disbelief.
"My lord, it's true, those foreigners move quickly. Their cavalry rushed into the city before we could react, and we were driven out without even putting up a fight...... Woooooooooooo ”
Ishida's eyes went dark, and his body on his horse shook, and then he fell.
Fortunately, when his subordinates found out that something was wrong with him, they always paid attention to their lord.
Therefore, Tanaka quickly supported Ishida Aido's body, which did not let him really fall to the ground.
Otherwise, this fall will definitely hurt you.
"How so! How so! ”——
Dividing Line –
At this moment, Zhao Hongyu had already led his army into Osaka Castle, and sent troops to begin to climb the city wall to occupy various important places.
Although there are still some guys in the city who haven't had time to escape are resisting, Zhao Hongyu is not worried about this at all, and it is only a matter of time before he solves those who resist.
"Close! We're going to live in Osaka Castle for the rest of the year. I will search out all the people in the city who have not escaped, and then gather them together, I don't want these people to stumble on us. ”
"My lord, what are we going to do after we get together?" , Yuji Kawabe couldn't help but ask at this time.
How to deal with it?
Zhao Hongyu looked at Yuji Riverside, and then he asked rhetorically, "What do you think is the best way to deal with it?" ”
The reason why he asked this was that Zhao Hongyu also wanted to try Yuji Kawabe to see what kind of mind he had.
Yuji Kawabe saw Zhao Hongyu asking, and replied without thinking about it: "Kill the men, we can keep those women, and use them to ...... the captive soldiers who have taken refuge in us" (to be continued......)
