Chapter 838: Can This Battle Still Be Fought?

For Yuji Riverside's request, the old village chief of Mikawahara agreed to all of them.

Besides, they can't say yes.

People have knives and guns in their hands, and if they don't agree, they will definitely be killed.

As long as a smart person has a brain, he knows what choice he should have when facing this situation. Only the kind of brainless person would be stupid to contradict each other, and this old village chief is obviously not the kind of stupid guy.

"My lord, we are willing to surrender, willing to surrender."

And as soon as Yuji Riverside finished explaining to the old village chief, the Kyushu captives knelt on the ground with a hula on their feet.

They also understood that if the other party couldn't do this, it would cut off their back road and leave them with no way out.

Since this is done, then the purpose must be to make them surrender.

As for what they were to do after surrendering, it was obviously to be cannon fodder when attacking Okazaki Castle.

However, if they don't surrender now, they will definitely not let them go.

Even, some people have begun to fantasize about whether these fat guys have murderous intentions against them.

After all, it was not far from Okazaki Castle now, and it was very troublesome for them to march with their captives, and there were still great hidden dangers.

Therefore, the best solution is to dispose of them all to be the most worry-free.

So, if they surrender, they may be used as cannon fodder. But that's better than being killed right away if you don't surrender.

At the very least, they can live a little longer before being cannon fodder.

Well, who wants to die?

Seeing such a scene, Yuji Kawabe didn't make any moves, he just looked sideways at Tokugawa Kayo on the side.

After all, he was still a subordinate of Tokugawa Kayo, and it was only when these Kyushu captives surrendered. It's not something that I can accept, and I need to see what Tokugawa Kayo means.

Tokugawa Kayo didn't understand the meaning of Yuji Riverside, but the old fritter Hattori Onizo on Tokugawa Kayo's side also woke up immediately.

He smiled at Yuji Kawabe, then leaned over Tokugawa and whispered a few words into his ear.

After that, Tokugawa Kayo understood.

Afterwards, the little girl took Hattori Kizo to the Kyushu captives who begged and said that they were going to surrender, and began to tell them about the righteousness of the Tokugawa family and the benefits that they could obtain in the future.

In a word. Who wouldn't know how to draw a flatbread?

After seeing that Tokugawa Kayo finally understood and began to act, Yuji Kawabe withdrew his gaze and refocused on the two unlucky people who were caught.

Because Yuji Riverside still has something very important to ask these two unlucky guys.

Judging from the short conversation with them just now, these two guys know a lot about Okazaki Castle, so they can get some military information about Okazaki Castle from their mouths.

"You two guys listen carefully, if you don't want to die, just tell me honestly about the distribution of military forces in Okazaki Castle, if you can satisfy me. Then instead of killing you, I will give you a sum of money and release you. ”

Yuji Kawabe said seriously and seriously to the two unlucky guys, and at the same time he made a promise.

Seeing that he can live, and there is hope that he will be able to get a reward. It's impossible not to impress people.

The same goes for these two unlucky guys.

At that moment, after the two guys turned their heads to look at each other, they both lowered their heads and knocked on the ground.

The thinner one of them spoke: "My lord, please ask, but anyone who knows the way must know everything." ”

A soldier brought a maza. put it behind Yuji Kawabe and let Yuji Kawabe sit down.

"Say, you have to satisfy me."

Yuji Riverside after sitting down. Seriously, he once again instructed the two unlucky guys.

The two unlucky ones must be well aware of this.

"There are still 600 people in the garrison of Okazaki Castle, after Fujita Gaoji was defeated by you in Maitreyahara, he only led less than 2,000 people to Okazaki Castle, there are still many deserters like us along the way, he has no way to control it at all, and there are only elite banner troops with him......"

Yuji Kawabe listened carefully to the narration of the two unlucky guys, and at the same time secretly measured in his heart how much combat power Okazaki Castle still has now, whether he can fight against himself, and even if he can, how long can he fight.

From the narration of these two unlucky guys, Yuji Kawabe slowly understands the overview of the remaining troops of Fujita High School.

According to the analysis described by these two guys, there are now more than 400 elite flag guards in the hands of Fujita High Student. With more than 1,300 defenders of Okazaki Castle and more than 12,000 militia composed of strong men drawn from the territory, this guy also has an army of 13,400 people who can help him defend Okazaki Castle.

At the same time, Fujita High School also collected food supplies from the villages and towns in the territory and piled them up in Okazaki Castle, so it can be said that they don't have to worry about the lack of supplies at all.

If you start a long siege, Okazaki Castle can still be conquered.

It's just that, with the plans of the empire, a long-term siege is very unrealistic.

Therefore, they had to capture Okazaki Castle in a short period of time, and then start sweeping the surrounding territories and take all of Miyazaki under their control.

Therefore, a long-term siege is not possible.

Then he now has 2,000 infantry sent by the crown prince, and his own imperial army, which adds up to more than 2,600 people. Even with the addition of these Kyushu captives who want to take refuge and whose loyalty cannot be guaranteed, the number is only more than 3,300 people.

In terms of troops, it is still at an absolute disadvantage.

What's more, this is not a wave battle in the wild, but a siege war.

Therefore, the disadvantage in terms of strength will make your side a little troublesome.

Fortunately, they have fifty cannons in their hands, and this sharp weapon can be used to siege the city.

Otherwise, I really don't know what to do.

Soon, Yuji Kawabe had a basic judgment and measurement of the situation.

"I'm quite satisfied with what you said about Okazaki Castle. So I want you to tell me how many garrisons Fujita still has in other villages and towns in Miyazaki's territory. ”

Yuji Kawabe continued to ask.

Yes, this thing is for Yuji Kawabe. It is also more important.

Because if they start a siege battle against Okazaki Castle, then it is necessary to take into account some of the surrounding circumstances.

If Fujita Gaoji had other garrisons in the territory in addition to the troops in Okazaki Castle, then these garrisons would definitely come to the rescue.

When the time comes, you will have to deal not only with enemies inside Okazaki Castle, but also from outside the castle.

This is a very troublesome and dangerous thing.

Therefore, I have to ask a good question, so that I can arrange the battle plan as much as possible-

Dividing Line –

At this moment, Fujita High School has already led the rout and returned to Okazaki Castle.

When he returned with the only remaining flagbook. He immediately ordered the gates of Okazaki Castle to be closed, and then ordered patrols to be strengthened and soldiers to be sent to the top of the castle.

He was in a state of panic at this time, and he was scared along the way.

At the same time, the soldiers kept fleeing along the way, which also made him resentful and bitter.

The battle of Maitreya Yuan failed like this, which he could not have imagined and could not figure out.

An army of 150,000, that's not 150,000 sheep.

In less than two hours, he was defeated by the enemy.

What made him even more shocked was that the enemy's strength was less than 10,000.

What a hell of a life.

I returned to my own residence in Okazaki Castle. Fujita High School Sophomore immediately summoned all the members of the family and the elders and convened an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, when he said that the battle of Maitreya had failed, the faces of all the participants showed disbelief.

They are the same as Fujita's sophomore in high school. I was puzzled and confused about this, and I was deeply afraid.

What is puzzling and puzzling is how the enemy is so powerful that he can defeat the Kyushu Coalition with a force of less than 10,000 men with less than 10,000 men.

This is completely beyond the expectations of the big guys. And their judgment of the war and their opinions.

And what was terrifying was that they knew what they would face after the defeat of the original battle of Maitreya.

An army of 150,000 could not destroy the enemy. On the contrary, they were defeated by the other party, so it can be seen from this that these enemies are definitely not ordinary enemies.

Moreover, after the vitality of the Kyushu Coalition Army was greatly damaged, it was no longer able to effectively organize the capital of confrontation with the other side for a long time.

Then, the enemy will definitely start a crusade against the daimyo all over Kyushu.

First and foremost, it must be the Miyazaki territory.

What is more troublesome is that the enemy's attack power is strong and fierce, and at the same time, their morale is high, and the defeat of their own troops through Maitreya Yuan is too large, and their morale is also extremely low.

If the enemy really came to attack Miyazaki's territory, how would they be?

Again, in order to organize the battle of Maitreyahara, Fujita High School has already exhausted the elite troops in the entire Miyazaki territory, and now they have no elite soldiers on hand.

Although there are still 12,000 elite militia in Okazaki Castle, these militias are no match for the elite soldiers.

Oh my God, the Fujita family is really in big trouble right now.

This is the first thought that arises in the hearts of the participants, and a judgment on the future.

"Everybody talk about it, what are we going to do now? Is Okazaki Castle going to be garrisoned, or can we just leave Okazaki Castle? ”

At this time in Fujita's sophomore year of high school, he had already begun to retreat.

Now he is not as high-spirited as Maitreya was before the battle.

When he heard the scene of the battle of Maitreya, as well as the sharpness of the enemy's weapons, and the scene of flesh and blood flying, his heart couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and at the same time, layers of cold sweat oozed from his back.

Keep fighting?

He didn't know why he was fighting against the enemy. (To be continued......)
