Chapter 718: Hmph, the enemy made a big mistake
Zhao Hongyu and the others copied the path, and the speed was indeed much faster than the defeated crusading army.
When Zhao Hongyu conquered Osaka Castle and took control of the defense of Osaka Castle, disposed of some of the recalcitrant guys in the city, and gathered the people to expel them from Osaka Castle, Ishida and the others were defeated all the way to the outskirts of Osaka Castle.
When Zhao Hongyu stayed in Ishida Aido's residence, Ishida Aido and the defeated soldiers encountered the people who had been expelled from Osaka Castle.
When Ishida heard that Osaka Castle had been conquered and everyone in the castle had been expelled, he immediately fainted.
It's no wonder that he has such a reaction, because his lair has been captured, and they have nowhere to go.
Moreover, the crime of losing the castle is not light, and he doesn't know what punishment the Edo shogunate will give him.
At the same time, this guy Ren Takeuchi ran to the Edo side, thinking that if that guy knew what was happening here, he would definitely fall into the well and give himself a lesson.
His elder brother, who was the shogun, would not have any thoughts of mercy just because he was his younger brother.
As long as Ren Takeuchi finds his daughter Raiko and blows the wind on the pillow, then his idiot brother will punish himself heavily.
Thinking of these things, Ishida really hated it.
However, at this point, there was nothing he could do.
Osaka Castle has been conquered by the enemy, and it is certainly unrealistic to recapture it.
The morale of the crusading army has dropped to freezing point, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting.
There's no way to get them to fight.
At the same time, the people of Osaka Castle were evicted, and they had to find a place to stay.
In this way, when you fight by yourself, do you still have to take these people with you?
This is very unrealistic.
Besides, they don't have much food on hand, and they have so many of them.
It's been a long time. You won't be able to see the enemies in Osaka Castle.
If they take the opportunity and give themselves a treat, it will be a lot of fun.
For now, what I have to do is not how to recapture Osaka Castle, but to quickly lead everyone to find a place to live.
Those enemies in Osaka Castle are not good friends.
When he woke up, Ishida Aido immediately found the wind squire and discussed the problem with him.
And the wind servant's face at this time is not very good-looking.
Because he couldn't have imagined that Osaka Castle would be conquered by those foreigners like this.
"Ishida-kun, things have taken a turn for the worse now. These foreigners captured Osaka Castle. Then this thing itself has changed the taste, we are not their opponents now, but we cannot retreat, otherwise the blame from the shogunate will not be something you and I can shirk, so we must set up camp around here. ”
After some thought, the wind attendant said very seriously to Ishida Aido.
Hearing this, Ishida looked at Osaka Castle with the gate closed in the distance, and then said to Kazeshi, "Now we are basically gone with infantry, and the rest are all cavalry. We also have no morale at all, and we lack food and siege equipment, so even if we want to retake Osaka Castle, we can't do anything about it. ”
All of this is true. How could the Wind Squire not know?
But, to be clear, the Wind Squire still has to do this.
Originally, they were routed by those foreigners, and they suffered heavy losses.
This time. Osaka Castle was lost again.
The shogunate will definitely punish itself.
The sin of losing the city is very serious.
If they don't want to have their disembowelments, they have to confront foreigners here now. At least there is a glimmer of life in this way.
However, if they leave like this, then there will be no life at all.
"Well, I'll listen to you, the truth is now as you say, we have no way back." At the same time that the wind servant was thinking about how to convince Ishida Aido, Ishida Aido suddenly agreed to the wind squire's proposal.
Ishida's agreement relieved the wind attendant.
At this time, what he is most afraid of is disagreement, which will cause a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, Ishida Aido is different from the dead ghost of Takahashi, he is a person who is relatively easy to talk and has a brain.
That's when I got rid of my own tongue.
The wind servant looked at the back Ishida Aido, and then thought for a while: "I know about your affairs, in fact, we can put the blame on Takahashi, anyway, this guy is dead, and most of the things here are caused by him, so he should come to bear some blame for us, isn't it." ”
When Ishida heard this, he looked at the wind attendant with a puzzled expression.
"What do you mean by that? I'm a little surprised by what the dead Takahashi could carry for us? For what the wind servant said, Ishida was very puzzled.
He didn't know what else the dead Takahashi could carry for them?
This time it was obvious that it was up to the two of them to accept the punishment.
Could it be that if it is blamed on Takahashi, they can escape the blame?
That's a bit unrealistic.
Ishida didn't understand at all.
The wind servant looked at Ishida Aido, who looked puzzled, and felt that he should explain it to him well, at least they were brothers and sisters now.
This matter can only be carried by the two of them together in order to have a hope.
Ahem!
The Wind Squire coughed for a moment, and then said to Ishida Aido, "It was Takahashi who let you enter the crusading army, right?" ”
Ishida didn't know what he meant by asking, but he nodded and replied, "Yes, it was Takahashi who sent someone to recruit me into the crusade army to fight those foreigners together, and I originally wanted to garrison Osaka Castle to guard against those foreigners, but I have no right to refuse Takahashi's conscription." ”
The Wind Squire raised his hand and touched his chin, looking unfathomable.
"Well, if you say that, you're a lot less responsible. It was Takahashi who made you transfer most of your troops, making Osaka Castle empty for defense. ”
At this time, even if Ishida Hedao was not smart, he understood the meaning of the wind servant's words.
Obviously, this is very beneficial to yourself.
It was Takahashi who allowed him to drain the forces of Osaka Castle, which gave those foreigners a chance and made the defense of Osaka Castle empty.
Then, even if the blame for the loss of Osaka Castle falls on his head, then it is obviously impossible to be too heavy.
The most important thing is that Takahashi is dead, so these things are a sure thing.
And as a wind servant, he will definitely speak and testify for himself, even if it is these generals in the crusading army, they must be consistent with their own style for their own sake.
Thinking of this, Ishida Aido's hanging heart couldn't help but let go.
In fact, Ishida Aido only joined the crusading army with his own banner, and most of his troops remained in Osaka Castle.
It was only because the guards of Osaka Castle were vain to take precautions, and Zhao Hongyu and they came too suddenly, that Osaka Castle fell.
Speaking of which, this responsibility still has to be counted on the head of Ishida Aido.
It's just that now as long as he follows the wind squire's words, then he can be completely removed.
At the same time, all the fault can be blamed on the dead Takahashi.
What better idea could be than this?
Obviously, there could not be a better idea.
"This is indeed a very good statement, but how can we explain the defeat of our crusading army to the shogunate?" Ishida accepted Kazeshi's statement, but he immediately thought of the fact that the crusading army had been defeated.
They also have to find an explanation for this matter.
In this regard, the wind attendant was not panicked at all.
"This is much easier, and everyone in the crusade can attest that it was Takahashi who did not give the soldiers rest and food, which greatly reduced the soldiers' physical strength and prevented them from launching an effective charge. At the same time, Takahashi stubbornly kept the archers in Tajima's territory and did not let them go with the army, which led to our inability to have an advantage on the battlefield. ”
As for how to explain this problem, the wind servant has already thought about it in his heart.
Moreover, he had already reached an agreement with the remaining Danma generals.
After all, Takahashi was killed by the horsemen.
Such a thing on the next gram, if it is spread out, their life will definitely be difficult.
Therefore, they must have an alliance with the Wind Squire.
After all, this is a matter of everyone's fate.
"At the same time, we also want the shogunate to explain that these enemies are definitely not ordinary enemies. I think anyone who has fought against them will know this very well, so we must make it clear in the war report to the shogunate, and we don't need to exaggerate, as long as we write the real battle situation clearly. ”
"Is that all it takes?" , Ishida asked.
The Wind Squire nodded: "That's all right, the shogunate is not all fools on their side, and there are some smart people on their side." Besides, we're also asking for reinforcements, because we're going to take back Osaka Castle, aren't we? As soon as the reinforcements arrive here and let them fight the foreigners for a while, they will know that what we say is true. ”
Ishida admitted that what the wind smaid said was very feasible.
As long as those reinforcements arrive here, then as long as they fight those foreigners, they will know that his battle report is definitely not a false pretext.
When the time comes, those people will definitely stand with them.
For those foreigners, Ishida is still very clear about the combat effectiveness.
"And, now that the enemy has made a big mistake, don't you think we have a chance now?"
The Wind Squire set his sights on Osaka Castle in the distance. (To be continued......)
