With 6,000 troops, to attack a big city like Edo, there are still fewer troops.

However, Hattori Kizo didn't dwell on this issue.

After a day's battle, Hattori Kizo had an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under His Highness's command, as well as those 'advanced' sharp weapons.

If, by attacking Edo, it was wrong and that such weapons were used, then there would be nothing to worry about.

As soon as the shelling was fired, the nobles and lords of Edo would be frightened when they thought about it.

For those people's virtues, Hattori Onizo is very clear.

The alliance under the city is not impossible.

As long as the army besieges Edo Castle, these guys will definitely do some dirty things in order to survive.

However, Hattori Hidezo's concern is that according to His Highness's plan, he will have to face a steady stream of crusading reinforcements that are constantly being attracted, and this is the most troublesome.

Didn't this Highness think about it, after all, they are foreigners, and they belong to the away battle here.

Compared to the shogunate, which had the home advantage, there was a big disadvantage.

Not to mention anything else, the loss of troops alone is enough to give this highness a headache.

After all, if you lose your own soldiers, you can't replenish them.

On the other hand, on the side of the crusading army, they can be effectively replenished.

So when you think about it this way, your own disadvantage is still very big.

The crusaders have lost their money, but they can't afford to lose on their own side.

This is the biggest concern of Hattori Hidezo.

He had to make it clear to Zhao Hongyu that if the province couldn't solve it at that time, it would be troublesome.

In today's battle, we were replenished with 2,000 reinforcements, but after all, there were still a few less.

Of course, it depends on how it compares.

If it's compared to the current crusaders on the other side, that's enough.

However, considering that Zhao Hongyu wanted to use those on the opposite side as artificial bait to attract more enemies to come. Then this question has to be carefully considered.

So, when Hattori Kizo raised this question and concern, a deep sadness appeared on the big guy's face.

Even Yuji Kawabe's brow furrowed.

Yes, Yuji Kawabe also took this issue into account.

To say, Zhao Hongyu's plan is still good, and the possibility of implementation is very high, and the success rate is also very large.

However, for these people, this plan is still a bit risky.

After all, the crusading army can be replenished with an endless stream of troops. But not on their side.

"Your Highness, Lord Kizo's concern is very correct." , Master Wang finally spoke at this time. On today's battlefield, Wang Fuzi has always been worried, but in order not to affect the morale of the army, he has not said anything. Since the reinforcement of the Gurkha cavalry, his heart has been relieved a lot.

However, he could never have imagined that this highness would suddenly come up with such a plan.

So, he had to speak.

"The crusaders can be replenished with a steady stream of troops. That's a dozen of our weaknesses. Our soldiers are losing one less and one is not replenished at all, so I think it is not advisable to fight a war of attrition. ”

Master Wang's words are very clear, but any fool can hear them clearly.

In fact. Wang Fuzi didn't recommend continuing according to Zhao Hongyu's plan, after all, they also had weaknesses.

If the enemy seizes this weakness and fights them in a war of attrition, they will not be able to fight anyway.

Even if it's one for ten. That's also very unworthy.

In fact, they knew that the highness they had taken refuge in. There's a cheating device in my hand.

After all, Zhao Hongyu would not tell them about the advantages he had.

"Is this what everybody thinks?"

After Zhao Hongyu finished talking about Hattori Ghost Hide and Master Wang, he looked around at everyone and asked.

Everyone nodded again and again, indicating that their meaning was similar to that of Hattori Onizo and Master Wang.

After Zhao Hongyu got everyone's reply, he didn't show any unhappiness.

You have to know that it is acceptable that everyone does not understand him.

Who is it that he has something that he can't say so clearly.

There's no way around it.

Ahem!

Zhao Hongyu coughed, and then said to everyone: "Actually, I know that the question that everyone is worried about is very correct, and I don't deny it." But I made this guy with my own considerations. ”

"Your Highness, no matter what, if the troops are not effectively replenished, no matter what the plan is, it is not feasible. This is our weakness, and please think about it carefully. ”

Hattori Onizo leaned over and kowtowed, reminding Zhao Hongyu loudly.

Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly, he can be regarded as a powerful admonition today.

And, in all fairness, Hattori's reminder is not wrong, he is also for his own good and everyone's good.

"Ghost Hide, you listen to me slowly. I'm not a fool, and of course I know where our weaknesses and weaknesses are, but since I've made this plan, then I must have a point, and you'll understand when you've listened to what I've said. ”

Oh!

Hattori Kizo straightened up again and sat down on his knees.

Everyone looked at Zhao Hongyu and waited for him to continue.

Everyone wanted to know what kind of confidence this young highness had, believing that he would insist on carrying out this plan even if his troops were not replenished.

"I received a secret report that a group of reinforcements have been sent from the country and are coming, and it is estimated that they will arrive off the coast of Osaka tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the strength of this batch of reinforcements is about 5,000 to 10,000 people, which is where I am confident."

Wow!

With 5,000 to 10,000 reinforcements, it's no wonder that His Highness has such confidence.

However, it seems that the reinforcements of this little force are still not enough.

After hearing that there were reinforcements, the big guy's expression relaxed.

However, it immediately occurred to everyone that this point of strength seemed to be much worse than the national soldiers of the Japanese State.

If Zhao Hongyu's plan is carried out, the shogunate's side will definitely be extremely hot.

At that time, the crusading army reinforcements who came here. There will definitely be more.

And at that time, the pressure on them must have been much greater than it is now.

"Your Highness, how long will it take to transport reinforcements from the country to this side? If we can get a steady stream of reinforcements, I think we can still compete with the shogunate. ”

Hattori Kizo said.

When he said this, he first affirmed the matter of reinforcements, but he was also asking whether these reinforcements would be available in the future, and whether their reinforcements were guaranteed.

"It's a long way, and it takes eight months to get here at sea, so it's hard for us to get strong support from home." Zhao Hongyu replied.

Oh my God!

The journey at sea alone takes eight months.

It seems that the idea of getting reinforcements from the Song Empire is very unrealistic.

Zhao Hongyu saw everyone's loss, and he continued: "However, don't be too disappointed, in fact, after we have this support army, the plan can still be implemented, after all, what we need is not a national war with Japan, what I need is to take Edo." Forcing them to sign an alliance with the castle, I think those old men in Edo are afraid of death. ”

Zhao Hongyu said the most critical part of the plan.

Yes, Zhao Hongyu never thought that he would fight a national war with the other party with thousands of people like him.

Although he has a cheating device. But there are benefits to fighting a national war.

With that money, he might as well invest and increase the population of China.

You must know that Lu Dao, now his level is about to be raised.

So, the main problem at hand. It's not how to conquer Japan.

Although Japan is doomed, it is definitely not now.

All he needs now is a place to stay here in Japan. And then slowly plot in the future.

As long as you are upgraded, it's a big deal to throw a town mayor over, and when the time comes, you will find a town mayor with four township heads, and you will definitely be able to toss Japan out of.

Wouldn't it be nice to let the genetic people do this and enjoy the success themselves?

"What does Your Highness mean that we only need to withstand the attack of the crusading army for a while, and wait until the things on the Edo side are completed?" , Yuji Kawabe finally spoke at this time.

Moreover, he directly stated Zhao Hongyu's plan.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded.

For Yuji River's intelligence, Zhao Hongyu still admires it.

Such a person, as long as he is honestly a dog, Zhao Hongyu feels that it doesn't matter if he uses it.

Besides, the Japanese people of this era do not have any concept of the state.

They belong to the typical milk is the mother's goods, so Zhao Hongyu thinks that as long as he gives enough benefits and shows enough strength, then it is impossible for Yuji River, a smart guy, to escape from the palm of his hand.

Besides, he will only get stronger and stronger in the future, so he is completely at ease with Yuji Kawabe.

"I think Your Highness's plan is feasible, with reinforcements, we will have no problem withstanding the attack of the crusading army and its reinforcements for a month. I think you have all seen it today, our army's weapons and artillery are very sharp, and the opponent basically can't inflict great casualties on us with swords, bows and arrows, so I support this plan of His Highness. ”

Yuji Kawabe can see today's situation, and this highness must stick to his plan.

It's His Highness's plan, which is not arbitrarily formulated, and has a strong feasibility.

Moreover, His Highness knows very well what he needs, and does not want to challenge the whole of Japan with all his eyes open.

So, he felt that he should be supported.

Besides, today's daytime battle has been an eye-opener for Yuji Kawabe.

Fresh tactics, as well as new and sharp weapons.

With these means, as long as reinforcements arrive, it should not be very difficult to fight against a crusade army of 20,000 men.

It's just that Yuji Riverside doesn't know what to do, and on the battlefields of Europe, the Imperial Army has a combat example of successfully defeating more than 50,000 legions with 8,000 infantry. (To be continued......)
