Chapter 1118 Tachibana Mountain Castle, Attack the Heart
Tachibanayama Castle was built on Mt. Tachibana, and there are seven mountains, each of which is a part of the castle, forming a fortress.
The Tachibana family retreated to Tachibana Castle, and the next day, the samurai patrolling the mountain found that 50,000 Xia troops had approached the castle and fled back to the castle in panic.
"Chiyoden, the Xia army has surrounded Mt. Tachibana!"
"Let's go down the mountain and fight with them!"
"Calm down!"
Tachibana Chiyo saw that the samurai of the Tachibana family were in a mess, apparently frightened, so he stopped the chaotic samurai.
Chiyo Tachibana, who succeeded the governor, had to take on the responsibility of protecting Tachibanayama Castle.
"Yubu Weixin, you go to the city to recruit soldiers, all the young and strong women must participate in the defense of the city, and you must keep Tachibana Mountain Castle. I myself will defend the city, and I will live with it. ”
Tachibana has two walls, Yubu Weixin and Ono Zhenyuki, of which Ono Zhenyuki was captured by the Xia army, and only Yubu Weixin followed back to Tachibana Mountain Castle.
Among the retainers that Tachibana Chiyo could use at this time, only Yubu Weixin's attributes were passable, and the attributes of the others were really reluctant.
As the chief patriarch, Yubu Weixin was loyal to the Tachibana clan, and immediately appeased the various samurai and went to recruit troops.
Chiyo Tachibana led the few female iron artillery teams on the walls of Tachibanayama Castle, looking down on the mighty Xia army below.
The Xia army arrived at the bottom of Tachibana Mountain Castle and set up dozens of camps to encircle Tachibana Mountain Castle, and the water was impassable.
Hakata Bay was the territory of the Tachibana family, and the Xia army broke through the Yuankou fortifications in Hakata Bay and went ashore from Hakata Bay, so they couldn't wait to besiege Tachibanayama Castle, otherwise Tachibanayama Castle might send troops to attack Hakata Bay.
"Chiyo Palace, there may be forty or fifty thousand Xia troops under the city, and the morale is high, and there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in our city, what should we do?"
The Tachibana samurai on the city wall were panicked, believing that they would not be able to defend Tachibanayama Castle due to the strong momentum of the Xia army.
"I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of? Relying on the topography, Tachibana Mountain Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our Tachibana family has a 'triple speed iron artillery bombardment', and I still have the ability to defend the city. ”
Tachibana Chiyo was biased towards defenders, so he thought that he was sure to defend Tachibana Mountain Castle, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Under the city, the Xia army camped, and Chu Wu rode a horse to observe the topography of Lihua Mountain City.
"The eastern part of the country was mountainous, and the daimyo fought at war, so the daimyo often built fortresses on the mountains as fortresses for their personal residence, while commerce and agriculture were concentrated under the castle. Once the enemy attacks, retreat to the mountain castle and defend it. ”
Chu Wu easily occupied the houses below Tachibana Mountain Castle, and after a short rest, he had already begun to peek at Tachibana Mountain Castle.
Conquering Tachibana Mountain Castle is the true conquest of the Tachibana family.
He knew that the mountain city in Dongying was somewhat similar to the dock fort built by the displaced people in the Central Plains.
Zu Dashou took the initiative to ask for his life: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let the last general lead the troops to attack the city, and only 30,000 soldiers and horses are needed to fall into the city!" ”
Chu Wu disagreed: "Attack the city as the bottom, attack the heart as the top." Send someone to send this sword to Tachibana Mountain Castle, and if the defenders do not surrender, all the Tachibana family captives will be killed. ”
Chu Wu asked people to bring Tachibana Michiyuki's exclusive weapon "Rachel" to the mountain city.
A weapon, for Chu Wu, is nothing.
Chu Wu's famous sword "Qing Yu" is no less than "Rachel".
Divine weapons can be defeated by thousands of people, but they cannot match an elite army.
Chu Wu learned from the samurai captured alive at the foot of the mountain that Tachibana Michiyuki's daughter was defending the mountain castle.
Chu Wu captured Tachibana Daoxue, and the probability of persuading Tachibana Mountain City to surrender greatly increased.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please let the ministers bring this knife to persuade him to surrender."
Zhuge Liang took the initiative to request an envoy to Tachibana Mountain City.
"No, if the guard is a wicked woman, won't the military advisor be a sheep? In my opinion, even if you get Tachibana Mountain Castle, you can't compare it to the loss of your military division. ”
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This time, the minister will not have an accident. ”
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be touched that his position in Chu Wu's heart was very important, so he was even more determined to send an envoy to Tachibana Mountain City to persuade Tachibana to surrender to Chiyo.
"Chiyoden, the Xia army is coming!"
"Let him in."
Tachibana Chiyo met Zhuge Liang on the city wall, and her eyes fell on the sword in Zhuge Liang's hand, which was the exclusive arm of her father, Tachibana Michiyuki.
If Tachibana Michiyuki's exclusive weapon fell into the hands of Xia Jun, then it means that Tachibana Michiyuki also fell into the hands of Xia Jun.
"What have you done with my father?"
"Ling Zun, Ono Zhenyuki and others have all been captured by our army, if you want to keep them safe, why don't you surrender the city?"
Zhuge Liang's words had a special effect, making Tachibana Chiyo waver.
In diplomacy, Zhuge Liang has the ability to "tongue battle group Confucianism", which is easy to shake the will of NPC lords.
Although it is impossible to turn a sworn enemy into a friend, as long as interests are involved, the probability of diplomatic success will be greatly increased.
Tachibana Chiyo attaches great importance to his father, and when he heard that Tachibana Michiyuki was captured by the Xia army, coupled with the influence of Zhuge Liang, he immediately wavered.
"Let me kill him!"
The Tachibana retainer Shishi was killed by the Xia army on the battlefield of Goryeo because of the two generals of the Shishi Lianjiu and Shishi Lianzhen, and when they saw the Xia army coming, the samurai of the Shishi clan pulled out their swords one after another and wanted to kill Zhuge Liang.
"Stop! What is loyalty?! ”
Tachibana Chiyo drank dozens of samurai of the Totoki clan.
The Ten Seasons seemed to be very afraid of the main family and did not dare to make any movement.
Although Shimokajo was common in the Sengoku period, there were also some samurai who had unimaginable loyalty to their main family, which was later twisted into bushido during the Edo period.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but glance at this woman.
Compared with other weak women, Tachibana Chiyo is a heroine among women.
"Please give us three days to make a decision with the retainers. Also, please leave your father's sword. ”
Chiyo Tachibana bit her lip, seemingly having trouble making up her mind.
"One day, you only have one day to think about it. The 50,000 elite soldiers under the city are only the vanguard troops, if the Tachibana Mountain Castle does not fall, tomorrow, there will be 300,000 troops to storm the Tachibana Mountain Castle, razing this place to the ground, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”
Zhuge Liang put down the knife and said goodbye.
In fact, only the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Chu Wu and Zu Dashou attacked Tachibana Mountain Castle, and the main force of the Xia army attacked Iwaya Castle.
Zhuge Liang bluffed, making the samurai and ashigaru of the Tachibana family pale.
Even the Shishi clan, who had a grudge against the Xia army, was intimidated by Zhuge Liang's intimidation at this time.
"Only one day to ......"
Tachibana Chiyo summoned the remaining retainers of the Tachibana family to discuss whether or not to surrender the castle.
Tachibana Michiyuki, Ono Zhenyuki, and other Tachibana retainers fell into the hands of Xia Jun, making Tachibana Chiyo and others cast rat traps.
"Strategist, do you see the lord of this city? Will she surrender to us? ”
Chu Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhuge Liang came back safe and sound.
If you pay Zhuge Liang as the price because of the subjugation of a mountain city, then the gains outweigh the losses.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, nine times out of ten, Tachibana Mountain Castle will surrender without a fight. Our soldiers have fewer deaths, which is the merit of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"There's a labor division."
Chu Wu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Zhuge Liang help him persuade Tachibana to ask Chiyo.
Surrendering soldiers without a fight, this is the highest siege realm flaunted by all famous generals.
It took eight days for a million Xia troops to attack the Yuankou fortifications, with two or three hundred thousand dead and wounded, which shows the difficulty of attacking the city.
If the defender will be a defensive general, the besieging side will often suffer heavy casualties.
Chu Wu led people to wait under the city for a long time, the gate of Tachibana Mountain City opened, and a young girl took the retainers of the Tachibana family and went down the mountain on horseback.
"Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Lu Lingqi led a team of wolf riders to intercept the soldiers and horses of the Tachibana family who were descending the mountain, preventing the Tachibana family dog from jumping off the wall and slashing the main general of the Xia army.
Tachibana Chiyo reined in the war horse and confronted Lu Lingqi.
Lu Lingqi's red rabbit horse and Fang Tian's halberd made Tachibana Chiyo fearful.
"I went out of the city as agreed, where is my father?"
Tachibana Chiyo took the initiative to ask, and the elder of the Tachibana family, Yubu Yunobu and others, also followed down the mountain.
Chu Wu asked the captured Tachibana Michiyuki and Ono Zhenyuki and other high-ranking members of the Tachibana family to appear.
The royal boar Shah Balez holds the mace and stands out to the people of Tachibanayama Castle.
In Tachibana Mountain City, no one's strength is comparable to Shah Balez and Lu Lingqi.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, as if he had expected that Tachibana Chiyo would go out of the city and surrender.
"Father!"
Tachibana Chiyo saw Tachibana Michiyuki, who was tied up by five flowers, and Tachibana Michiyuki, known as the "God of Thunder", was trampled by heavy cavalry and was defeated and captured.
"Well, why care if I live or die......"
Tachibana Michiyuki sighed helplessly when she saw that her daughter finally chose Kaejo.
Tachibana Chiyo has already left the city, so he can't escape back.
Chu Wu rode the purple dew and looked at the Tachibana Chiyo, who inherited the Tachibana family.
Tachibana Chiyo and Chu Wu are almost the same age, and Tachibana Chiyo's skin is like snow, her eyes are clear and powerful, and she is undoubtedly a Warring States beauty.
What surprised Chu Wu even more was that Tachibana Chiyo's weapon was an arquebus, and there was also a team of female iron artillery behind him.
Firearms generals and troops are not common.
Chu Wu knew that his father had gone to great lengths to collect the generals and troops of the firearms department.
The Great Xia Dynasty did not lack cavalry and infantry, and the firearms mainly relied on the Shenji Battalion.
Tachibana Chiyo actually has a team of firearms.
Tachibana Chiyo looked at Chu Wu, the other party was young, he could command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege Tachibana Mountain City, and also captured his father Tachibana Daoxue, most of whom were children of the great families of the Great Xia Dynasty: "According to the agreement, as long as I surrender the city, you can release my father." ”
"That being said......"
After Chu Wu found out that Tachibana Chiyo was a military general of the firearms department, and there were special troops, he had other ideas.
Tachibana Chiyo raised her eyebrows and glared at Chu Wu angrily: "Could it be that you tricked me out of the city, but you are unwilling to fulfill your promise?!" ”
"I can release him, but with one more condition, you will be loyal to me."
"You're ......!"
Tachibana Chiyo bit her lip, she didn't expect the chief general of the Xia army to be so shameless, when she took the Tachibana family out of the city, there was no way out, and there was no way out, and she temporarily added additional conditions.
"If you don't want to, then I will give an order, and the army will enter the city, burn down Tachibana Mountain Castle, and kill all the captives."
“……”
Chu Wu observed Tachibana Chiyo's reaction with great interest, and this feeling of threatening others was not bad.
"I ......"
Tachibana Chiyo wanted to speak and stopped, struggling between her eyebrows.
"Chiyo, don't serve the Xia Army!"
"Come, take him down, and put him to death!"
Chu Wu made an order to behead the Hanamichi Snow at the important place.
"Wait, my allegiance to you is that!"
Chiyo Tachibana eventually chose to compromise.
"Ding! Tachibana Chiyo pledges allegiance to you. ”
Chu Wu received a reminder from the system.
The Han guard reminds you: Ask for a collection after reading (), and then look at it more conveniently.
