"There seems to be something wrong with the Japanese people besieging the city outside these days, they haven't attacked for many days. There must be demons when they are abnormal, and I don't know what these people will think again. ”

After the attack was frustrated a few days ago, the crusading army had suffered heavy losses and had not been replenished in terms of strength for a while, so they adopted the tactic of besieging Osaka Castle without attacking it.

Its plan is very simple, that is, he wants to trap Zhao Hongyu and them in Osaka Castle.

After the arrival of the Wind Demon Kotaro, Ishida Aido and the Wind Servant who knew what happened in Edo, and the difficulties that Ishida Aido himself was about to face, they had no intention of attacking Osaka Castle.

After all, both the shogun and the emperor had been captured, and if they were to attack Osaka Castle, if there was any accident on the part of the emperor and the shogun, the matter would definitely be counted on their heads.

With such a black cauldron, Ishida Aido and the wind servant will not be stupid enough to carry it on their backs.

Moreover, now that the emperor and the shogun have been taken prisoner due to the fall of Edo, it has become much easier for Ishida Hirowa to serve the wind.

Originally, if the war on their side was unfavorable, some blame would fall on their heads.

But that's no longer the case.

Because something like this happened on the Edo side, they also had a good excuse, didn't they?

Yes, they just need to say that they are worried about the safety of the shogun and the emperor, then they can shut up many people.

In addition, they still control an army of tens of thousands of people in their hands, so they have to make some people jealous.

This annoys the crusading army, and it's really hard for you to deal with.

Therefore, Ishida Aido and the wind servant did not want to use the forces at hand in the war of attrition with the enemy in Osaka Castle.

This is the capital they need to deal with possible troubles in the future, so they can't just spend it like that.

If they have all the money they have on hand. Then what they have to face in the future will become very difficult.

It's impossible for Ishida Hedao and the wind to be unclear about this truth.

Even if they can't think of it, Kotaro Kazema will remind them.

So, now the Supreme Commander of the Crusading Army has no mind on the side of Osaka Castle.

Instead, all the attention should be on the side of Edo Castle.

Zhao Hongyu and these people are just some ringworm diseases for them.

As long as the position of the most rearly general can sit firmly, it can still be cleared up when he turns around and launches a large army.

Besides, it's impossible for these foreigners to stay in the country all the time, right?

In the eyes of Ishida Hedao and Feng Shi, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu and others to get supplies in the Wa Kingdom. There is also the participation and support of the people.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for them to stay in the Wa Kingdom for too long.

Although they can gain some military advantages and victories in a short period of time, it is very disadvantageous for them to stay for a long time.

It is from this point of view that Ishida Hedao and Feng Shi did not regard Zhao Hongyu and them as their biggest opponents.

Nowadays, they have been paying attention to what is happening in Edo, and what kind of development is going on.

But in this way, Zhao Hongyu in Osaka City is a little muttering.

A few days ago, the crusaders launched an attack that was desperate, and they attacked Osaka Castle frantically for seven days.

But now the cold suddenly stopped attacking. This makes Zhao Hongyu really unaccustomed to it.

Even, let Zhao Hongyu feel that there was some conspiracy of the crusading army.

Because the change in the crusading army was too strange, Zhao Hongyu had to have such a thought.

"Your Excellency. Wouldn't it be good if the enemy outside the city didn't continue to attack? At least the soldiers can get a rest, you must know that although our losses in the attack of the past few days are not very large, the physical exertion of the soldiers is still very large. ”

On this day, I followed Zhao Hongyu to the city. Tokugawa Kayo, who was observing the situation of the crusading army, listened to Zhao Hongyu's words and said to him.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, and he also agreed with what Tokugawa Kayo said.

But. His psychology is still a little unsteady.

"You are right, it is advantageous for us that the enemy does not attack. In fact, if they still attack like the other day, although I am sure to resist it, the physical exertion of the soldiers below will be very great. ”

He echoed.

"If it weren't for the fact that we had enough food to feed the soldiers five times a day, so that they could have replenished their physical strength, I think that in the attack a few days ago, our Osaka Castle would have fallen long ago."

Zhao Hongyu said with some exaggeration.

Regarding Zhao Hongyu's words, Tokugawa Kayo just smiled.

During this period of time, Tokugawa Kayo already had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the army in the city, which was dominated by Chinese soldiers.

Therefore, what Zhao Hongyu said about the fall of the city, it is impossible to happen.

The walls of Osaka Castle are thick and very tall.

At the same time, a lot of artillery was placed on the head of Osaka Castle.

Most of the soldiers defending the castle used powerful flintlock muskets, so it would be wishful thinking for the crusaders to conquer Osaka Castle.

If you don't know, you may think so, but as Tokugawa Kayo who has been by Zhao Hongyu's side for a while, she will not be 'deceived' by Zhao Hongyu.

"It's good to patrol and observe the situation on the crusading army's side, and make all preparations to prevent it. As long as we are careful, we can deal with them even if they have any tricks. ”

Tokugawa Kayo thought about it for a while and said to Zhao Hongyu.

Now Tokugawa Kayo has grown up very quickly, and she has grown from a girl who doesn't know much about anything, and is innocent and simple, to a qualified head of the family.

Actually, there is no way to do it.

Who let the burden of reviving the Tokugawa family fall on her small shoulders?

She really wouldn't want to be like this if she could, because it wasn't a life she enjoyed.

However, she carried the hopes of too many people and the expectations of the ancestors of the Tokugawa family.

Therefore, at such a time, her personal wishes basically do not need to be considered.

Especially after taking refuge in Zhao Hongyu. She realized that if the Tokugawa family was to be revived, then there was already an opportunity.

Hattori Chizuru didn't say a word at Zhao Hongyu's side, and she felt satisfied when she looked at the two of you.

Compared to Tokugawa Kayo, Hattori Chizuru is not so stressed.

Therefore, she has a much easier life than Tokugawa Yoshiyo.

"You're right, as long as we are careful, then we are not afraid of any conspiracy of the crusading army." , Zhao Hongyu nodded and said. "You will tell Yuji Kawabe and Iguchi Shuzo later, and let them pay attention to the crusading army, and don't let them dig tunnels or anything."

Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought that in ancient times, when attacking the city. There are many examples of tunnels that will be excavated.

So, he reminded him.

Kayo Tokugawa nodded, indicating that he had taken it to heart, thinking that he would go and remind Yuji Kawabe and them in a while to make them pay attention to this.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom has entered the late autumn season, and it is almost December.

Autumn is coming to an end, and winter is about to begin.

So. The temperature has dropped a lot.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu made preparations in advance and issued warm clothes to the soldiers under his command.

The genetic people of Chinese descent are wearing thick queuing party coats.

There are also long black leather boots, and a large hat to wear in winter.

These are in accordance with the eighteenth-century queue party costumes in the virtual world. Paid a lot of money to order it.

And in order to keep warm, cashmere and other lining are added to it, and there is also a thick warm fleece in the boots.

When you wear this dress, it's called a spirit.

Yuji Riverside, Iguchi Shuzo and those Japanese soldiers. It's very hot-eyed.

However, for these guys, Zhao Hongyu also took out camouflage cotton clothes for them.

It's not of very good quality, though. It's all made by some black-hearted small workshops, but it's no problem to keep warm in this era.

It's just that if you wear it for a long time, you may have some skin diseases on your body, or you may have some small acne or something.

But for these widows, it doesn't seem like a big deal at all.

For spending money on equipment for Chinese Americans, Zhao Hongyu is of course willing to do so.

But for these widows under his command, Zhao Hongyu can handle it with the attitude of saving if he can.

In fact, there is no way to do it.

After all, Zhao Hongyu really has no way to treat the Japanese people equally.

In the northern part of Osaka Castle, a large banner was erected on the position of the Japanese Army.

The flag is white in its entirety and has gold lines sewn around it.

But on this white flag, there is a big word 'demolition' written on it.

I don't know if Lu Dao was intentional by Zhao Hongyu.

He had already made a riot suit for these widows, and now he has made a 'demolition' flag.

God knows what he's going to do.

But in any case, after having such a banner, these Japanese soldiers who had no way out and began to follow Zhao Hongyu with all their hearts and minds had some spirit.

Because for them, with a flag, then they are truly accepted.

It's a serious army under Zhao Hongyu.

If there is no flag, then they are a ragtag army, and they are cannon fodder in ordinary battles.

Zhao Hongyu didn't know what these people thought.

As for him, he just thought it was a bit fun.

Today, the Japanese soldiers in blast suits, armed with blast shields and iron javelins, are sitting cross-legged on the ground resting.

Because the crusaders had stopped attacking, the tiredness they felt many days ago was no longer visible on their faces.

Even, because eating and drinking here in Zhao Hongyu is very good, most of them are still red-faced, and even gained a lot of weight.

What do you have to do from time to time?

Zhao Hongyu's gaze swept over these people's faces, and he thought secretly in his heart. (To be continued......)
